I will bless the Lord, at all times...  Reference: Ps 34:1 - I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. One of the most important attitudes we can embrace in life is making it a habit to bless Him continually. I use the word “lifestyle” on purpose—it’s not just for when we feel like it, but also for when we don’t, because it’s essential. It’s not only about what we do, but who we are.  David’s steady commitment was clear in his words. He received countless blessings from the Lord even before he became well-known. Before everyone knew his name, the Lord knew him for his constant praise and gratitude. Out in the fields, tending sheep in the green pastures, he would sing, dance, and bless the Lord. That was David's preparation to the bigger assignments.  Verse 4 from this chapter really spoke to me: I sought the Lord, trusting in His word, and He answered me, delivering me from all my fears. So, I bless the Lord—Amen, Hallelujah. He...

Press the reset button Reference Nehemiah 1:9 But if we return to Him and follow what He told us to do, He will gather us from wherever we’ve ended up and place us back in the spot He chose to mark with His Name, the place He has chosen to set His Name. Nehemiah offered a heartfelt prayer rooted in covenant, scripture, and patriotism. Curious about his homeland, Jerusalem, and the condition of those who had escaped captivity, he sought news. The Babylonians had destroyed the city, but Hanani’s report deeply grieved him, prompting him to ask the king for permission to rebuild. Nehemiah’s position in the Persian court played a key role in what followed. Instead of rushing to Jerusalem, his sorrow moved him to pray a prayer of confession and petition. In Nehemiah chapter 2, we read of the “favor” he received from King Artaxerxes I, who granted him leave, letters of safe passage, and materials to restore the city. Nehemiah was deeply moved, spending days weeping, fasting, and praying—this ...

God rewriting life stories Reference Ps 18:20-24 Psalm 18:20–24 (The Message) captures David’s reflection on how God restored and renewed his life when he fully surrendered to Him. In Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase, the language feels vivid and personal—more like a heartfelt testimony than a formal psalm—showing how God restores, remakes, and redefines those who turn to Him. Amen. "God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes" is perhaps the most powerful image here. It shows that when David welcomed God into his innermost being, God transformed his story—redeeming it, reshaping it, and giving it new meaning and purpose. Hallelujah!  David says God “made my life complete” when he laid everything before Him, and that God “rewrote the text” of his life. This language highlights honest surrender, repentance, and the experience of being restored by God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes the same basic claim in a more compact form: “if anyone is in Chris...

The meaning of Resurrection Reference --> 1 Peter 1:3. The meaning of Resurrection This verse captures the heart of Easter: through Christ’s resurrection, believers receive a living hope—not just tied to the past, but alive in the present and assured for the future. The meaning of Resurrection for us is, first and foremost, victory over death—death no longer has the final word. While we often see death as the ultimate end, the resurrection changes that. It’s no longer an end point, but the beginning of a new life united with Him forever.  1 Corinthians 15:54–55- And when this perishable puts on the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then the Scripture will be fulfilled that says, “DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory and vanquished forever. O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING? The Father accepted Christ’s sacrifice as atonement for the shortfall. The Bible says everyone has sinned and fallen short. The resurrection assures the forgivenes...

16 Hours of Standing in the Gap along with 45 Prayer warriers – A Easter Weekend Summary Dear Prayer Warriors & BCC Family, This morning, as I reviewed my journal of what God has done this Easter weekend, I can only say: I Praise God for His Mercies.. From the Good Friday 12-hour session (which turned into almost 14 hours!), to the Saturday 2-hour Intercessory meeting (plus an extra 30 minutes), to the hour of prayer before our Sunday services—we have spent nearly 16 hours collectively inviting His presence to deal with the matters close to our hearts: our Church, our nations, our communities, and our families. And 45 of us showed up across these three occasions, cumulatively. That itself is a miracle that only our GOD could orchestrate. I thank God for His resurrected power that enables us to draw closer to Him, access His presence with all His fullness, and joyfully enjoy life—because He has already given us everything. Thank you for standing in the gap like Moses. Thank you for ...
