” Put your heart and soul into every activity you do, as though you are doing it for the Lord Himself and not merely for others.” Colossians 3:23(TPT)
Whatever God has called you to do this week – even if it’s just to “clap and cheer” – do it with all your heart, to the glory of God. Your goal in life should be to love what you work at and work at what you love. Although that may not be the reality at every stage of life. Sometimes, you are called to do a good job for a not-so-good organization, boss, or salary. In which case, thank God you have a job that supplies your needs; there are unemployed people who would switch places with you. We exist for one reason and one reason alone: to glorify the Almighty God and to enjoy Him forever. And you are called to do that in whatever circumstance you find yourself. May God bless you with everything needed to make you complete. May promise and fail never be part of the equation of your life. I reject near success syndrome for you and your family. Dryness and bitterness are banned in your family. All the “ Buts” in your life are hereby canceled. You will be fruitful and increase on every side. You shall not be barren. Whatever you lay your hands upon shall prosper. Your family is blessed. Your children are blessed. Your blessing shall be complete without sorrow in Jesus’ name.
Welcome to your week of divine sorting.

” And this hope is not a disappointing fantasy, because we can now experience the endless love of God cascading into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who lives in us!” Romans 5:5(TPT)
Beloved, beware of seeing yourself through other people’s eyes. There are several dangers to this practice. It is nearly impossible to discern what others actually think of you. Their views of you are variables: subject to each viewer’s spiritual, emotional, and physical condition. Your concern to please others dampens your desire to please God, your Creator. This week, see yourself through God’s eyes. His gaze upon you is steady and sure, untainted by sin. Through His eyes, you can see yourself as one who is deeply, eternally loved. I pray that as you rest in His loving gaze, you will receive deep peace in and around you in Jesus’ name.
Welcome to your week of endless love of God.

” Seek the LORD and His strength; seek His face continually.” Psalm 105:4(JUB)
Wouldn’t it be great if we only had to ask for help with the things we struggle with once in our lives? If we just could magically have it all figured out after that? Unfortunately, we all know that’s not usually the way it works. Often, when faced with a struggle or temptation, we have to ask for help or find guidance to deal with it again, and again, and again. The good news is that as the Psalmist reminds us here, when we continually seek God’s help and strength to face it, He will give it to us.
On this last day of the month, is there a temptation you’ve been struggling to beat? Is there a petition that is yet to be granted? Is there a circumstance that is challenging your faith? God will send help to you today. You will not seek the Lord in vain, in the mighty name of Jesus.This month will end gloriously for you and all yours in Jesus’ name.
