In prayer and preparation for our recent gathering of Kingdom citizens, I heard these words impressed upon my heart by the Holy Spirit: “It’s Time.” Those two simple words carry great weight. They resounded, then and now, deep within my spirit — not as a casual statement, but as a declaration and a call to rise . I believe this is Heaven’s trumpet blast sounding to the body of Christ, urging us to awaken from complacency, confusion, and the comfort of routine, and to step ful

Love is one of the most spoken‑about words in the world, yet one of the least understood. Everywhere we turn—from social media posts to songs and movies—love is portrayed as a fleeting emotion or the rush of excitement that comes when someone makes us feel valued. But true, biblical love goes much deeper than butterflies in the stomach or constant agreement. It is not rooted in emotion, but in character and covenant. As believers, we are called to both receive and extend this

There are moments when the Spirit of the Lord lovingly adjusts our perspective—reminding us not to reduce His greatness to the scale of our circumstances. Recently, the Lord impressed upon my heart that we often overlook the all‑encompassing truth about the power of the Most High God , especially in how we speak about His intervention in life’s affairs. We sometimes act as though God’s power needs to adapt  to our circumstances, as if bigger issues demand more divine strength

There was a season in my life when I would start dreading something days before it even arrived. It might be a project, a meeting, or just a responsibility that felt heavy. I’d spend the entire weekend wrapped in the feeling, bracing myself for what I imagined  the coming week would bring. By the time Sunday came around, I could barely enjoy anything because I was so tangled up in dread about Monday. It’s interesting what dread does — it tricks us into living painful moments

My parents were known throughout the community as a pastor & first lady, leaders, and trusted friends. They served quietly, but the impact of their obedience spoke loudly. Their ministry, kindness, and wisdom left fingerprints on countless lives. Even now, years after their transitions from life with limits to life without them, their names are spoken with warmth and respect. Yet after my dad's transition (as he transitioned before my mom), an ache settled in my spirit—not ju

For quite some time, I have been in a place of deep reflection, prayer, and stillness before the Lord—pondering who we are as citizens of the Kingdom of God and what that truly means for our time here on the earth. Dr. Myles Munroe , a man who spoke often of the Kingdom of God and God's purpose for creating the earth and placing us in it, preached several sermons that reverberated in my spirit and has placed a weight on my heart; a holy heaviness, if you will. Recently, as I

“Oh wow! Now, after all of these years, I finally understand!” Those were the words that echoed in my heart as I reflected on my father’s unique approach to life and ministry. My dad had this rare ability to start something—an idea, a project, a ministry—nurture it, refine it, and then hand it over for someone else to take further. He would labor tirelessly to build a strong foundation, and just when most would settle in to enjoy the fruits of their efforts, he would look for

If you missed the previous post, “The Grace to Grow Together,” take a moment to read it first. It sets the stage for how grace becomes the gateway to genuine listening between generations.   When Words Travel Further Than We Think A conversation rarely ends when the words stop. Take a second and think about that. Tone, timing, and presence linger far longer. True listening—especially across age divides—requires more than ears; it asks for curiosity free from fear . The older

“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” — 2 Peter 3:18 (NIV) A Look Back Before We Go Forward In last week’s reflection, “Everyone Is Someone’s Senior,”  we were reminded that every one of us—no matter our age or stage—occupies a sacred position of influence. Someone, somewhere, is watching, learning, and being shaped by the example we set. That sobering and hopeful truth invites us to walk in humility and intentionality, knowing that the wa

A Look Back Before We Go Forward In last week’s reflection, “Bridging the Generational Divide: Being Intentional in Building Relationships Across Ages,”  we explored what it means to purposefully connect across the lines of age and experience — how patience from one side and humility from the other can turn tension into understanding. This week, we’re taking that thought a step further. If every generation has something to bring to the table, then it follows that all of us, n

Each generation brings something precious to the table — experience and innovation, wisdom and energy, reflection and vision. Yet too often in today’s fast-paced and technology-driven world, we see a growing divide between the young and the senior. It’s not always caused by lack of love or respect, but by a simple lack of intentional connection. As a senior myself, I’ve come to observe that many who are younger often do not immediately value the wealth of knowledge, history,

Understanding the True Meaning of Acts 3:6 When it comes to Christian living, few verses capture the essence of giving and receiving like Acts 3:6 : “Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.” This scripture, often quoted in sermons and devotionals, reminds us that spiritual gifts can be more powerful than material wealth. Recently, while listening to a sermon by Reverend Kenneth Hag

Recently, I’ve found myself reflecting on something that seems simple yet carries incredible weight: the tone of our communication. Perhaps it’s always been present, but only now have I truly started to recognize just how much tone shapes our interactions, especially in an age dominated by texts instead of face-to-face conversation. It’s undeniable, texting and digital messages have revolutionized the way we connect. It’s often faster, more convenient, and allows us to reach

As the world watches leaders rise and fall, and as protests erupt in the streets against kings, dictators, and tyrants, many are left asking: Who can we trust to rule with justice and compassion?  Our hearts long for righteous leadership—a longing echoed in the words of Proverbs 29:2: “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Isn’t this the reality we see all around us? When justice is absent, when corruptio

Have you ever found yourself on your knees, sincerely asking God, “What do You want me to DO?” If so, you’re not alone. Many believers spend hours wrestling in prayer, seeking the next step, the next assignment, or the next task that will please God. This is a commendable pursuit—after all, obedience is better than sacrifice (1 Samuel 15:22)! But recently, as I entered prayer with this very request, I heard a gentle whisper in my spirit: “A better prayer would be that He woul
