    Your Daily Prayer 🙏🏾 John 2:15

    Eternal life is a gift, freely given to those who believe.

    Today’s daily devotional is about Jesus cleansing the temple and His conversation with Nicodemus. Jesus drove out corrupt money-changers, restoring the temple’s sanctity. Later, He revealed to Nicodemus the profound truths of being born again and receiving eternal life, highlighting God’s love and salvation.
    STORY
    Bible in a Year: Flipping Tables and Eternal Life
    Scripture
    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

    John 3:16
    Have you ever felt a righteous anger against injustice?

    Jesus experienced this when He entered the temple during Passover and saw the sacred space turned into a marketplace. The temple, meant to be a place of worship and prayer, was corrupted by money-changers exploiting the people. Jesus' reaction was swift and decisive—He fashioned a whip and drove them out, restoring the temple’s sanctity and purpose.

    What does Jesus' cleansing of the temple teach us about standing up against wrongdoing?

    Jesus’ actions demonstrate the importance of preserving the sanctity of worship and standing up against corruption and exploitation. His righteous anger was rooted in a desire to honor God and protect the integrity of the temple.

    How do we respond to the injustices we encounter in our lives?

    Jesus' example encourages us to address wrongdoing with courage and conviction. Later that evening, Nicodemus, a Pharisee, sought out Jesus to understand more about His mission. Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus reveals the core of His message: being born again through faith and receiving eternal life.

    How does Jesus' teaching about being born again resonate with you?

    Jesus explained to Nicodemus that spiritual rebirth is essential for entering the Kingdom of God. This rebirth is not of the flesh, but of the Spirit, signifying a transformative relationship with God through faith. He emphasized that God’s love is so profound that He gave His only Son so that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

    What steps can you take to deepen your faith and embrace the gift of eternal life?

    Reflect on your own spiritual journey and consider areas where you can grow in your relationship with God. Seek to understand and apply Jesus' teachings in your daily life, embracing the transformative power of being born again through the Holy Spirit.

    REFLECTION
    Reflect on the injustices around you and consider how you can stand up for what is right, following Jesus’ example. Are there areas in your life where you need to restore sanctity and purpose?

    This week, commit to addressing these areas with courage and conviction. Additionally, ponder the concept of being born again and what it means for your spiritual life.

    Embrace God’s love and the gift of salvation, seeking a deeper relationship with Him through prayer, study, and reflection.

    FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT ACTION: SELF-CONTROL
    If you’re full, turn down second helpings at your next meal.

    We all have a God-given gift that sets us apart and allows us to lead with purpose.

    PRAYER
    And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
    JOHN 2:15
    I confess today, that zeal for Your house has consumed me! Move in my life so that I can stand for what is righteous, help me so that I can stand for what is godly. Move in my life and allow me to understand heavenly matters. As I look to You, Jesus, help me to understand that God loved me so much that He sent You as a bridge to connect me back into His loving arms. I praise You Lord that as I believe in Jesus Christ I will have access to eternal life. I thank You that You did not send Jesus to condemn me but to rescue me from my sins and from myself. I declare that I am new and restored because I now have You in my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. 🙏🏾

  • Episode 1456 - Jarvis Kingston I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. -Philippians 4:13 & Psalm Psalm 70:4 NFL Football
    Sep 5 2025
    Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Psalm 70:4

    I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. -Philippians 4:13

    DEVOTION
    Based on Philippians 4
    Paul writes from prison, yet claims unlimited capability. The secret? 'Through Christ'—not around Him, not near Him, but through Him. This isn't prosperity gospel promising earthly success, but spiritual triumph in any circumstance. 'All things' means exactly what God calls you to, nothing more, nothing less. Strength isn't mustered; it's received. Christ doesn't just help; He empowers.
    A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
    ADORATION: Lord Christ, You are my strength, my power, my ability. In You, impossibilities become possibilities. I worship You, divine enabler.


    CONFESSION: I confess trying to do life in my own strength and failing.


    THANKSGIVING: Thank You for being my constant source of strength.


    SUPPLICATION: Strengthen me through Your power to do all You've called me to today.

    PRAYER
    Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, 'Let God be exalted!'
    PSALM 70:4
    Dear God, as I lay down to rest my weary body and mind, I come to You with a humble heart, seeking Your divine presence and grace. Lord, I ask that You relieve me of the shame that weighs heavy on my soul. The mistakes I have made and the wrongs I have committed haunt me day and night. But I know that I can be free from this burden with Your guidance and forgiveness. Please give me the strength to confront and overcome my past. Remove my shame and guilt, and replace them with Your loving mercy and compassion. As I close my eyes and drift into a peaceful sleep, I trust Your infinite wisdom and grace to guide me through life's challenges. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. 🙏🏾

  • Episode 1455 - Jarvis Kingston I will praise the name of God with a song and will magnify him with thanksgiving Psalm 68:30 Matthew 11:28-30
    Sep 4 2025
    Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Psalm 69:30

    Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. -Matthew 11:28

    Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. -Matthew 11:29

    For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. -Matthew 11:30

    DEVOTION
    Based on Matthew 11
    Jesus extends the most personal invitation in Scripture—not to the qualified but to the weary. 'Labour and heavy laden' describes every soul carrying life's weight. The promise isn't removal of burdens but rest while bearing them. This isn't the rest of inactivity but of intimacy—finding strength in His presence. He who spoke worlds into existence whispers peace to tired hearts.
    A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
    ADORATION: Lord Jesus, You are the rest-giver, the burden-bearer, the soul's true home. Your invitation excludes no one. I worship You, compassionate Savior.


    CONFESSION: I confess I often try to carry my burdens alone, too proud to come.


    THANKSGIVING: Thank You for Your open invitation and promised rest.


    SUPPLICATION: Help me lay down my heavy loads at Your feet today.

    PRAYER
    I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
    PSALM 69:30
    Dear Lord, sometimes the worries and burdens of life keep me from truly resting in You. I feel like I’m treading water and losing strength. I am weary, Lord, and cry out to You for rest. Meet me in my weakness, gracious God. Come to me in the night and restore rest to my reeling soul. Answer me tonight as I seek to sleep. When I am in pain, comfort me. When I am anxious, give me peace. Let the hush of heaven envelop me like a warm blanket. I know You will be faithful to me. You have repeatedly proven that You can be relied upon to restore, renew, and refresh. I will wait for You and close my eyes. I will breathe in with trust, and exhale a song of praise to You. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen. 🙏🏾
