@Asianking Glory to God!
2 Corinthians 3:5-8 #TPT
Yet we don’t see ourselves as capable enough to do anything in our own strength, for our true competence flows from God’s empowering presence .
He alone makes us adequate ministers who are focused on an entirely new covenant. Our ministry is not based on the letter of the law but through the power of the Spirit. The letter of the law kills, but the Spirit pours out life.
Even the ministry that was characterized by chiseled letters on stone tablets came with a dazzling measure of glory, though it produced death. The Israelites couldn’t bear to gaze on the glowing face of Moses because of the radiant splendor shining from his countenance — a glory destined to fade away.
Yet how much more radiant is this new and glorious ministry of the Spirit that shines from us!

One of our BTJ partners working in a closed country was ministering yesterday in a rural village. The police were called and the local authorities are now looking for him.
Please keep him and his family in your prayers today 🙏🏼
Psalms 119:130-133 #TPT
Break open your Word within me until revelation-light shines out! Those with open hearts are given insight into your plans.
I open my mouth and inhale the Word of God because I crave the revelation of your commands.
Turn your heart to me, Lord, and show me your grace like you do to every one of your godly lovers.
Prepare before me a path filled with your promises, and don’t allow even one sin to have dominion over me.

from Rick Renner the book Sparkling Gems from the Greek 2.
"When God calls you, He will equip and prepare you to effectively complete your assignment on time."
Matthew 16:24-27 #TPT
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If you truly want to follow me, you should at once completely reject and disown your own life. And you must be willing to share my cross and experience it as your own, as you continually surrender to my ways.
For if you choose self-sacrifice and lose your lives for my glory, you will continually discover true life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will forfeit what you try to keep.
For even if you were to gain all the wealth and power of this world—at the cost of your own life—what good would that be? And what could be more valuable to you than your own soul?
I, the Son of Man, will one day return with my messengers and in the splendor and majesty of my Father. And then I will reward each person according to what they have done.

In Nigeria, Christian persecution rose by 60% last year and nearly half of Christians killed for their faith worldwide were killed in Nigeria.
Our brothers and sisters need our prayers.

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade." -1 Peter 1:3-4 ✝️💫👑

What is an overlord? And why is the Canadian gov. wielding a rod of iron against Christian churches and street preachers?
Romans 8:38-39 #TPT
So now I live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s love. I’m convinced that his love will triumph over death, life’s troubles, fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love.
There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God’s passionate love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One!

2 Corinthians 3:16-18 #TPT
But the moment one turns to the Lord with an open heart, the veil is lifted and they see .
Now, the “Lord” I’m referring to is the Holy Spirit, and wherever he is Lord, there is freedom.
We can all draw close to him with the veil removed from our faces. And with no veil we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the glory of the Lord Jesus . We are being transfigured into his very image as we move from one brighter level of glory to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

i Love reading this!!!
Proverbs 3
The Rewards Of Wisdom
1)My son, do not forget my teaching,
But let your heart keep my commandments;
2)For length of days and years of life [worth living]
And tranquility and prosperity [the wholeness of life’s blessings] they will add to you.
3)Do not let mercy and kindness and truth leave you [instead let these qualities define you];
Bind them [securely] around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4)So find favor and high esteem
In the sight of God and man.
5)Trust in and rely confidently on the LORD with all your heart
And do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
6)In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him,
And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].
7)Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the LORD [with reverent awe and obedience] and turn [entirely] away from evil.

Romans 15:1-5 #TPT
Now, those who are mature in their faith can easily be recognized, for they don’t live to please themselves but have learned to patiently embrace others in their immaturity.
Our goal must be to empower others to do what is right and good for them, and to bring them into spiritual maturity.
For not even the most powerful one of all , the Anointed One, lived to please himself. His life fulfilled the Scripture that says: All the insults of those who insulted you fall upon me.
Whatever was written beforehand is meant to instruct us in how to live. The Scriptures impart to us encouragement and inspiration so that we can live in hope and endure all things.
Now may God, the source of great endurance and comfort, grace you with unity among yourselves, which flows from your relationship with Jesus, the Anointed One.
