Weekly Devotion - What's In Your Hand

Exodus 4:2 "Then the Lord said to him, 'what is that in your hand?' 'A staff,' he replied. The Lord said, 'Throw it on the ground. Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it".  Today I want to share from a personal journey/experience and it's my prayer that you will be encouraged and more so, you will be stirred up to allow God use you in whatever capacity He has called you in. For quite sometime I've had this deep longing to share about God and more so, the lessons/seasons He has taken me through but for some reason I always felt inadequate/unqualified. I always thought - "who'd even take time to listen to this ordinary girl next door yet there are bigger names out there with huge followings that do the exact same thing she wants to do". I shied away completely & I would time and again get excuses to avoid what God was putting so heavily in my heart to do. Just to avoid the constant back & forth...

Weekly Devotion - First Love

This week's devotion will still keep up with the theme of the Month of Love - A call to return to our First Love . Revelation 2:4-5 "Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.

Do you remember when you first got born again? How you were so on fire for God. How you would break in God's presence and allow Him to have His way. You did not mind that the sanctuary floor was not so sparkly clean as you lay prostrate before God bonding with Him and telling Him how much you loved Him. You assured Him that He is the best thing that ever happened to you. You didn't care who was around, you just wanted more & more & more of God. You wholeheartedly answered altar calls & were not afraid to have tears stream down your face as you felt God's lovely embrace...

Love In Action

Welcome to February - the Month Of Love and what better way to kick off this Month's Weekly Devotions than with a call to Love - Love In Action. Speaking to the scribes, Jesus taught that the greatest commandment is Love. Matthew 22:36-40 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind'. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets". A bit of a back story. The Pharisees & Sadducees were considered the Custodians of the Law - they had studied the Laws of Moses & were very strict enforcers of these laws. In their conversation with Jesus, they could not believe that of the various questions they were throwing at Him, Jesus gave responses which silenced them. In an attempt to corner Him, they decided to...
