 WAS YOUR COMING ON EARTH FORETOLD OR

FOREKNOWN BY GOD?

THE WORD OF GOD AS LIGHT;

Before we seek an answer to this profound question, it is essential to turn

to the Word of God. The Bible is our divine manual, given by God to guide

us through life. Just as a physical map is necessary to navigate a

geographical journey, the Word of God serves as the light that illuminates

our spiritual path.

God, in His faithfulness, does not allow His people to walk blindly. He has

preserved His Word for generations, ensuring that no creation deviates

from His divine purpose. Scripture describes God’s Word as light,

revealing that vision is not merely a function of the eyes but of available

1
 illumination. Just as we need physical light to see in this world, we need

spiritual light to perceive God’s truth.

Psalm 119:105 affirms this: “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to

my path.” This verse clearly shows that there is a spiritual path we must

follow, and the only way to navigate it correctly is through understanding

and applying God’s divine instructions. Furthermore, John 1:1-3 reveals

the Word as God Himself, manifested in Jesus Christ. If we seek revelation

beyond mere memorization, the Holy Spirit will grant us divine

understanding, ensuring we fulfill God’s expectations.

The importance of understanding divine instructions is highlighted in 2

Peter 3:16, where Peter warns that those who misunderstand Scripture

risk their own destruction. Therefore, spiritual guidance is essential to

avoid misinterpretation and to walk in the fullness of God’s light.

2
 OUR PREDESTINATION;

Understanding that the Word of God directs us toward His divine plan, we

can now explore our predestination—God’s foreknowledge concerning our

existence and destiny.

Ephesians 1:4-6 states: “Even as He chose us in Him before the

foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him.

In love, He predestined us for adoption to Himself as sons through Jesus

Christ, according to the purpose of His will.”

This passage assures us that God planned our existence even before the

foundation of the earth. Nothing surprises Him, for He is omniscient and

omnipotent, knowing all things and possessing the power to fulfill His

divine will.

3
 God’s plan was not for us to perish but to be reconciled to Him through

Christ. 2 Peter 3:9 reinforces this: “The Lord is not slow in keeping His

promise, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but

everyone to come to repentance.” Just as God told Jeremiah that He

knew him before he was formed in the womb (Jeremiah 1:5), He also

knew and planned for each of us. Our responsibility is to seek His will and

walk in His purpose, guided by His divine enablement.

Like a manufacturer providing a user manual to ensure a product’s

proper function, God has given us the Bible and the Holy Spirit for

guidance. Ignoring His instructions leads to destruction, making it vital for

us to heed His direction in our lives.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY;

4
Having established that our lives were foreknown and predestined by God,

our duty is to seek His will diligently. This can only be achieved through

studying the Scriptures and asking the Holy Spirit for wisdom. The true

purpose of anything can only be discovered by inquiring from its maker.

Likewise, to understand our divine purpose, we must seek God’s Word for

guidance.

Proverbs 3:5-6 exhorts us: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and

lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him,

and He will make your paths straight.” The times we live in demand

spiritual vigilance. Rather than relying on human wisdom, we must submit

to God’s divine instructions, ensuring that we walk securely in His will.

SALVATION AND ETERNAL LIFE;

5
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you can make

this life-changing decision today. Pray this prayer audibly:

“Dear Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I have sinned and fallen short of

Your glory. I believe that You paid the debt I owed and that I have the

opportunity to receive the new life You offer. I accept the forgiveness You

provided through Your death and resurrection. Come and dwell in me

from this day forward. Remove my name from the book of death and write

it in the book of life. I believe that I am now saved, in Jesus’ mighty name,

Amen.”

If you have made this prayer, you are now part of the body of believers

and heirs of eternal life. Seek a Bible-teaching church where you can

grow spiritually, and consider baptism through full immersion, just as

Jesus was baptized. This act symbolizes your identification with His death,

6
burial, and resurrection, marking your transformation into a new creation

in righteousness. May God strengthen and establish you in His truth as

you walk this new path in faith.

7
THE BEAUTY OF CONSECRATION
AND THE PURSUIT OF THE TRUTH

THE BEAUTY OF CONSECRATION;

Consecration is one of the most profound and beautiful aspects of the

Christian life. It is the divine process of being set apart, molded, and refined
by God for His purpose. The life of a believer is not about mere existence—
it is about intentional living in alignment with God’s will. The Bible affirms
that we are vessels chosen to reflect His glory on the earth. But how do we
truly walk in consecration?

The key lies in aligning three fundamental aspects of our being: the mind,
the flesh, and the spirit. These shape our character and determine how we
live. The mind is the battleground of decision-making, the flesh is the vessel
through which we express ourselves, and the spirit is our connection to the
divine. Without proper alignment, walking in the fullness of God’s calling
becomes a struggle.

THE MIND – THE BATTLEFIELD OF

CONSECRATION;
The mind is one of the most powerful faculties given to man. It is the control
center where thoughts are formed, choices are made, and destinies are

1
shaped. Romans 12:2 commands us: "Do not conform to the pattern of this
world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."

The mind determines the course of life. If it is filled with worldly desires,
we will pursue things that pull us away from God. But when it is renewed by
His Word, we walk in obedience and reflect His nature.

The mind is like a processing plant—if it is filled with doubt, negativity, and
lust, our actions will mirror these things. But when we saturate it with God’s
truth, worship, and righteousness, we live as consecrated vessels.
Proverbs 23:7 declares:

"As a man thinks in his heart, so is he."

If we desire true consecration, we must guard and transform our minds.

THE FLESH – THE STRUGGLE FOR

DOMINANCE;

The flesh is our earthly vessel, enabling us to function in the physical realm.
However, it is also the seat of desires and impulses that often lead us into
conflict with the Spirit. Galatians 5:17 highlights this battle:

2
"For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is
contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other."
Living according to the flesh opens the door to sin and makes holiness
impossible. This is why Romans 8:13 warns:

"If you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to
death the misdeeds of the body, you will live."

Understanding that we are more than just physical beings is the first step
toward true consecration. We must discipline the flesh, resist its cravings,
and surrender fully to the Spirit.

THE SPIRIT – THE ESSENCE OF OUR BEING;

Beyond the physical and mental, we are spiritual beings. 2 Corinthians 4:18
reminds us:

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what
is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

3
Spiritual nourishment is essential for survival. Without it, we become weak,
vulnerable, and easily deceived. The primary way to strengthen the spirit is
through prayer and the Word of God. Jesus declared in Matthew [Link]

"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from
the mouth of God."

If we desire a deeper walk with God, we must invest in our spiritual growth.

THE CALL TO SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE;

A life of consecration demands discipline. The Apostle Paul compares the

Christian journey to that of an athlete, saying in 1 Corinthians [Link]

"I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should.

Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be
disqualified."

Consecration is a daily pursuit of holiness. It requires filtering what we

allow into our minds, resisting the temptations of the flesh, and deliberately
nurturing our spirits.

4
A consecrated life is not easy, but it is worth it. It requires sacrifice and an
unwavering focus on God. We were not created to be led by the flesh but by
the Spirit. When we yield to the Spirit, our lives become living testimonies
of God’s glory.

May we be delivered from the captivity of the carnal mind. May our spirits
be strengthened so that we manifest Christ’s character in everything we
do. True consecration is found in complete surrender—when our mind,
flesh, and spirit are fully aligned with God’s will.

Only then can we walk in the beauty of holiness.

THE PURSUIT OF THE TRUTH

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRUTH AND

FACTS;

"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." (John 8:32)
Truth is the greatest need of every human being. It is the foundation of a
victorious life. No one likes deception, and betrayal wounds deeply when
one realizes they have been misled.

5
There is a difference between truth and facts. Facts are scientifically
proven realities, but truth transcends facts. Truth is the unchanging reality
of God’s Word.

THE TRUTH OF GOD’S WORD;

Imagine being diagnosed with a severe illness (God forbid). The doctor’s
diagnosis is a fact, but God’s Word declares a higher truth:

"No one living in Zion will say, ‘I am ill’" (Isaiah 33:24).

As believers, we operate on a different level of understanding. God’s Word

is the ultimate truth, and it overrides the facts of life.

"By His wounds, we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5).

The bondage we experience—whether sickness, financial struggles, or

emotional turmoil—is not God’s will. Christ came to break every yoke and
restore us to freedom.

JESUS—THE EMBODIMENT OF TRUTH;

6
Jesus declared:
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except
through me." (John 14:6)
Salvation, righteousness, and eternal life are only found in Christ. No
amount of good works or moral conduct can grant access to the Father
apart from Jesus (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Jesus laid down His life to reconcile us to God. The enemy thought he had
defeated Christ by crucifying Him, but he unknowingly fulfilled God’s divine
plan (1 Corinthians 2:8).

Christ’s sacrifice restored our dominion and gave us access to abundant

life (John 10:10).

OUR RESPONSE TO THIS TRUTH;

God’s love is beyond human comprehension. The least we can do is respond

to that love by surrendering our lives to Him.

If you have never confessed Jesus as Lord, say this prayer:

7
"Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I have sinned. I believe You paid the price
for my sins, and I receive Your forgiveness. Come and live in me. Write my
name in the Book of Life. I declare that I am saved, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
“If you prayed this, you are now part of God’s family. Seek a Bible-teaching
church, get baptized, and walk in His truth. May God strengthen you as you
live in consecration and truth.

8
 SPIRITUAL AWAKENING

PLEASE, YOU NEED TO HEAR THIS!!

Have you noticed how time seems to be moving faster and events are

changing rapidly? While time itself remains constant, there is something

unique about our generation compared to ages past. What could be

happening now that demands our attention?

We live in an era of modernity, where information is abundant and highly

valued. In the business world, data is considered the most sought-after

asset, giving those who possess knowledge a competitive advantage in

every sector—be it economic, political, or technological.

However, this principle does not only apply to the material world. The

material world is a product of the spiritual realm, and the rapid

1
 acceleration we see physically is mirrored spiritually. It is crucial to

understand that we are not mere animals but beings of immense value. If

we fail to recognize this, we may wander through life without ever truly

understanding our identity or purpose.

YOU ARE SPECIAL AND PURPOSEFULLY

CREATED

Anything of great value attracts both good and bad forces. We are not

products of random evolution but of intentional creation. The mere fact

that you exist is evidence of a higher power—God—who intricately

designed you for a special purpose. You are not an accident! You are a

masterpiece in God's grand design.

2
Have you ever paused to reflect on your value and significance? Now is

the time. You are crafted with intention, and God desires for you to

understand your true worth. The enemy thrives on keeping people

ignorant of their identity, but God wants you to walk in the truth of who

you are. That is why He has preserved His Word—the Bible—for

generations as a guide to help you discover your divine purpose.

GOD’S LOVE AND REDEMPTION PLAN

The sad reality is that the first man, Adam, disobeyed God, bringing a

curse upon the world. However, God's love for humanity was so profound

that He chose to redeem us. John 3:16 declares:

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that

whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

3
 Instead of allowing humanity to perish in sin, God sent His Son, Jesus

Christ, to pay the ultimate price. He left His throne, took the form of a

man, suffered, and died on the cross so that we could be reconciled with

Him. Though He could have wiped out the human race for its rebellion, His

love compelled Him to provide a way for salvation. Jesus took our place

so that we could have eternal life. As stated in John [Link]

"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except

through me."

WILL YOU ANSWER THE CALL?

Now that you understand God's immense love and sacrifice, will you

continue living in ignorance? Life without God is empty, but He is knocking

at the door of your heart, waiting for you to open it. Revelation 3:20 says:

4
 "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and

opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me."

Jesus is calling you today. Will you answer Him?

If you are already saved but feel distant from God, know that He has never

left you. You can draw near to Him by saying this prayer:

"Jesus, I know that You live and love me. I desire to know You more and

have an everlasting relationship with You. Walk with me, Lord, from today.

I surrender to You. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your salvation."

If you are not saved or have doubts, align your heart with Christ by

praying this prayer of confession (Romans 10:9):

"Dear Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I have sinned and fallen short of

Your glory. I believe that You paid the debt I owed and that I now have the

5
chance to receive new life. I accept the forgiveness You offered through

Your death and resurrection. Come and live in me from today. Remove my

name from the book of death and write it in the book of life. I now believe

that I am saved, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen."

If you have prayed this prayer, know that you are now saved! May the

grace of God lead you to a Bible-teaching church where you can grow in

faith and fellowship with other believers.

 Spiritual Warfare and the Power of

God's Word

Mastering the Sword:

We all understand that the primary purpose of a sword is to engage in

battle against the enemy. In ancient civilizations, before the rise of

modern artillery, swords were among the most valuable and prestigious

weapons, particularly during King David’s era, around 1000 BC. Swords

were not only used in close-range combat but also served as symbols of

authority and the personal weapons of mighty warriors.

Have you ever watched an intense battle scene in a movie where two

skilled warriors face off? The tension builds as each move is crucial, and

1
at times, predicting the outcome is nearly impossible. The fight demands

precision, skill, and unwavering focus.

Now, consider this: do you know how long it takes to train a knight—a

master swordsman? Historical records suggest that it took

approximately 12 to 14 years to become a professional knight. This training

was not just about combat; it involved strict discipline and moral

instruction alongside physical preparation. Even in modern times, we can

relate this to the rigorous training of the Kenya Defense Forces, where

discipline and perseverance are essential before a soldier is officially

commissioned.

Understanding Our Role in Spiritual Warfare;

One of the greatest deceptions believers face is thinking they are not in a

battle. Many assume that because "the battle belongs to the Lord," they

2
have no role to play. But what does this phrase truly mean? Let's explore

it through Scripture:

 2 Chronicles 20:15 – "Do not be afraid or discouraged because of

this vast army, for the battle does not belong to you, but to God."

 Zechariah 4:6 – "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says

the LORD of Hosts."

 1 Corinthians 15:57 – "But thanks be to God, who gives us the

victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!"

 Romans 8:37 – "No, in all these things we are more than

conquerors through Him who loved us."

 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 – "For though we live in the flesh, we do not

wage war according to the flesh. The weapons of our warfare are

3
 not the weapons of the flesh. Instead, they have divine power to

demolish strongholds."

When God assured King Jehoshaphat that the battle belonged to Him, it did

not mean the people were to remain passive. Instead, they were

instructed to worship and praise God, through which they would take

possession of the victory that had already been granted. This reveals a

powerful truth: obedience is a key weapon in spiritual warfare. Following

God's instructions demonstrates our trust in Him, and through that trust,

we receive divine victory.

The Sword of the Spirit

Ephesians 6:10-11 reminds us, "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His

mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your

stand against the devil’s schemes." The Bible makes it clear that we are in

4
a spiritual battle, but unlike physical wars fought with swords and shields,

our battle is fought in the spiritual realm.

Before the coming of Christ, God's people had to seek divine guidance

from prophets before engaging in physical battles. Victory was first

secured spiritually before any confrontation took place in the physical

realm. However, with the death and resurrection of Jesus, the entire

concept of spiritual warfare was elevated. Now, we have direct access to

power and authority over the enemy. We are no longer spectators in this

battle—we are active participants, called to fight as soldiers of Christ.

Stand Firm and Take Up Your Sword

When you accept Jesus as Lord, you declare war against the kingdom of

darkness. But here’s the best part: God has equipped us with divine

armor. In Ephesians 6:10-18, Apostle Paul describes the armor of God,

5
using the Roman soldier’s gear as an illustration of our spiritual weapons.

One of the most powerful weapons in this armor is the Sword of the

Spirit, which is the Word of God.

Just as a skilled warrior must train rigorously to wield his sword

effectively, we must immerse ourselves in Scripture and prayer to stand

against the enemy’s schemes. The more we know and apply God’s Word,

the sharper our sword becomes.

A Call to Salvation;

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, today is

the day to join God's victorious army. This is not just a religious decision—

it is an eternal one. Jesus loves you, and He is calling you to experience

the power of salvation. If you are ready to make this commitment, say this

prayer with faith:

6
Dear Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I have sinned and fallen short of Your

glory. I believe that You died on the cross and rose again so that I may

have eternal life. Today, I surrender my life to You. Forgive my sins and

cleanse me with Your precious blood. Come into my heart and be my Lord

and Savior. Remove my name from the book of death and write it in the

book of life. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and guide me in Your ways. I

choose to follow You from this day forward. Thank You, Lord, for saving

me. In Jesus' mighty name, I pray. Amen.

If you prayed this prayer, know that you are now saved! Seek a Bible-

believing church for fellowship and discipleship. Follow the next step of

baptism by full immersion, as instructed in Mark [Link] "He who has

believed and has been baptized will be saved."

7
Welcome to the family of Christ. You are now a warrior in God’s army—

train with the Word, wield the Sword of the Spirit, and walk in victory!

8
 Spiritual Reality

The full Manifestation of Christ:

The greatest longing of every believer in Christ is to experience the

fullness of His love, not just in this lifetime, but in eternity, where His love

has no time limit. To manifest the love of Christ is to make something

spiritual become tangible and real. Unlike human love, which we often

relate to base on personal experience, the love of Christ transcends the

limitations of human understanding. It is beyond our comprehension, yet it

is real and powerful. It is a divine love revealed through Christ, and it is

only through a revelation of this love that we can begin to truly

understand its depth. While it’s easy to say that Jesus loves us, it is

through God's revelation that we truly grasp its meaning. This love goes

1
 beyond words; it is shown in actions, just as Christ showed His love

through His life and sacrifice.

The Need for Spiritual Rebirth:

In the beginning, humanity was created in God's image, but through sin,

we became corrupted and lost our rightful dominion over the earth. The

relationship between God and man was shattered, and the consequences

of this rebellion were dire: "You shall surely die." This divine decree

seemed irreversible. However, God, in His boundless mercy and

omniscience, had a plan of reconciliation in place, even before the fall of

man. His love is beyond comprehension because it reached out to us when

there was no way we could fix the breach ourselves.

Through Jesus Christ, God's plan was enacted. The greatest act of love

was when God gave His Only Son, Jesus, so that we could be saved from

2
eternal separation. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). No

one can come to the Father except through Him. For us to fully experience

the love of Christ, we must come into agreement with Him. This is why

Jesus declared that we must be born again. The process of spiritual

rebirth is not about physical change, but it has profound spiritual

implications. When we are born again in Christ, we are made new

creations, and it is this new life that allows us to experience the fullness

of God's love.

Spiritual Growth and Maturity;

Spiritual growth is essential for every believer. Just as a baby needs

nourishment to grow physically, our spiritual man needs regular feeding

to grow toward maturity. This growth is facilitated through the daily

practice of studying God's Word and committing to a life of prayer. Acts

3
6:4 reminds us that believers must devote themselves to prayer and the

ministry of the Word. The spiritual diet is not a one-time meal but a

continual process. Without this nourishment, just as a body starves

without food, our spiritual life will wither.

When we commit to the Word of God and a lifestyle of prayer, we come to

know God more deeply. Through revelation, our understanding of His love

deepens, and we begin to embody His love in our actions. God's love is not

just something we claim to know; it is something we manifest through our

lives. This is why true love for God is not just in words but in our actions.

Jesus demonstrated His love through His suffering, sacrifice, and

resurrection. Therefore, if we truly love God, we will show it through our

obedience to His commands (John 14:15). The manifestation of Christ's

4
 love requires sacrifice, righteousness, and a heart fully submitted to

God's will.

Baptism: A Symbol of Rebirth and Full

Submission

Baptism, through full immersion in water, is a vital part of this

transformation. It is not a ritual or religious practice, but an act of

obedience to God. Baptism symbolizes our identification with Christ's

death, burial, and resurrection. When we are baptized, we acknowledge

that our old sinful nature has been buried and that we have been

resurrected in Christ as new creatures. It is through baptism that we

publicly declare our new life in Christ, affirming that we are now dead to

sin and alive in righteousness.

5
 Baptism is a crucial step in our walk with God, and it is part of the

salvation package. Jesus Himself was baptized to fulfill all righteousness,

and He commands His followers to do the same. (Mark 16:16). Once we are

baptized, we are not only saved but are empowered to live out the fullness

of Christ’s love in our daily lives. Only through this transformation can we

truly manifest Christ’s love to the world, growing into His likeness and

reflecting His glory.

Manifesting Christ’s Love through Spiritual

Rebirth and Growth

You cannot manifest the love of Christ unless you grow to the fullness of

Him. Spiritual rebirth, growth in the Word, a life of prayer, and baptism

are all part of the process that enables us to embody Christ's love in this

6
 world. If you have never confessed Jesus as your Lord and Savior, I

encourage you to do so today. Pray this prayer aloud:

“Dear Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I have sinned and fallen short of

Your glory. I believe You paid the debt I owed on the cross, and I accept

the new life You offer. I receive the forgiveness You gave me when You

died and rose again. Come and live in me from today. Take my name from

the book of death and write it in the book of life. I now believe that I am

saved. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

If you prayed this prayer, you are now part of the body of Christ. Find a

Bible-teaching church and get baptized by full immersion in water, as an

outward sign of your new life in Christ. May you continue to grow in the

truth, manifesting the love of Christ in everything you do.

7
 Embracing the Love of Christ

The Gift of Salvation and the Revelation of

God's Love;

We, as believers, have every reason to praise the name of the Lord God

Almighty for His unfailing love, grace, and mercy that has been poured out

on our lives. His love is both unexplainable and immeasurable, reaching us

even when we were unaware of it. Salvation, as we now know, is not

something we can earn by our own works or deeds but is a gift granted to

us solely through God's grace, received by faith in Jesus Christ. It is

through the death and resurrection of Christ that we are made whole,

restored, and redeemed.

1
The Bible teaches us clearly that salvation comes not through anything we

can achieve or perform, but solely by grace. In Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV), we

are reminded that, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—

and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that

no one can boast.” This understanding has transformed us, giving us a new

heart and a renewed purpose to live for Christ.

The Unfathomable Love of Christ: A Revelation

Beyond Words;

In our journey of salvation, we have come to realize that the love of Christ

is beyond human comprehension. This love is not based on our actions but

on His divine choice to love us, despite our imperfections. His love was

revealed to us most powerfully through His sacrifice on the cross. In

2
Ephesians 3:18-19, Paul prays that we may be able to grasp “how wide and

long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that

surpasses knowledge.” It is a love so vast that it transcends all

understanding and it is only by His grace that we are able to even begin to

understand its depth.

Christ's love is not only revealed in His sacrifice but also in the life He calls

us to live. Romans 5:8 assures us that “God demonstrates his own love for

us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” This sacrificial

love makes our salvation possible, and it is the foundation of everything we

now hold dear. In receiving this love, we are invited into a relationship with

the Creator, a relationship that offers us a new life in Him.

Living in the Power of Salvation: From Darkness

to Light;

3
Once we receive salvation, we are no longer bound by the darkness of sin

and despair. Instead, we walk in the light of Christ, and our lives are

illuminated by His truth. John 8:12 reminds us that Jesus declared, “I am

the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but

will have the light of life.” As we walk in His light, we are called to live with

purpose, serving as witnesses of His grace and truth to those around us.

In Galatians 4:7, we are assured that, “You are no longer a slave, but God’s

child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.” We have

been adopted into God's family and made co-heirs with Christ. This new

identity empowers us to live confidently in our salvation, knowing that we

are loved and valued by our Heavenly Father. The challenges we face are

real, but in Him, we have everything we need to overcome them. As 2

4
Timothy 1:7 reminds us, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of

power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

Overcoming Doubts and Embracing Our

Identity in Christ;

Despite the glorious truth of our salvation, we often struggle with feelings

of inadequacy and doubt. The enemy seeks to undermine our confidence,

making us question our worth and our standing before God. But in Christ,

we have been made complete, and our worth is not determined by our own

efforts but by His love for us.

In Romans 8:1, we are reminded that “Therefore, there is now no

condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” We are free from the

5
condemnation of sin and are called to live as God's beloved children. John

10:10 tells us that the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus

came so that we might have life and have it to the full. This abundant life is

ours to claim as we live according to His Word, surrendering our fears and

doubts to His transforming power.

A Prayer for Salvation and New Life in Christ

For anyone reading this who has not yet received Christ into their life, we

invite you to pray this prayer:

“Dear Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I have sinned and fallen short of Your

glory. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and rose again,

offering me the gift of eternal life. I accept Your forgiveness and invite You

to come into my heart. From today, I surrender my life to You. I ask You to

remove my name from the book of death and write it in the book of life.

6
Thank You for saving me. I now walk in the new life You have given me. In

Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.”

If you prayed this prayer, you are now part of the family of God, and your

name is written in the book of life. We encourage you to find a Bible-

believing church, connect with fellow believers, and continue growing in

your relationship with Jesus Christ. As you walk in faith, may His grace

continue to lead and sustain you.

Living Out the Purpose of Righteousness

As believers in Christ, our ultimate calling is to pursue righteousness and

to live lives that glorify God. Matthew 6:33 encourages us to seek first the

kingdom of God and His righteousness, and everything else will be added to

us. Salvation is not the end of the journey but the beginning of a lifelong

process of transformation and growth in Christ.

7
Through His grace, we are empowered to live according to His Word, to

walk in His light, and to share His love with others. As we continue to live

out our faith, may we be steadfast in our commitment to Christ, trusting in

His strength and provision. Let us encourage one another to remain firm in

our faith, knowing that He who began a good work in us will carry it on to

completion until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6). May His peace

fill our hearts, and His love shine brightly through our lives, bringing hope

to a world in need.

 ECHOES OF PURITY:

THE PEARL OF A GUARDED HEART;

Imagine a pearl for a moment, its value, its uniqueness. Pearls, those

precious gems formed deep in the oceans, are hard to find. Deep-sea

divers may spend days, months, or even years searching for them. Pearls

are often used in fine jewelry, like rings and necklaces, and what’s

fascinating is how they are naturally created within the shells of

oysters. These oysters may look dull on the outside, but inside, they

harbor a magnificent treasure. The South Sea pearl, one of the most

expensive, can cost up to 5 million Kenyan shillings. What’s most intriguing

about pearls is their formation an irritant enters the oyster, and over

time, layers of protection are built around it? This process creates a gem

of great value.

1
 Now, think of this creation as being less valuable than you and me. We

were crafted by God's hand fearfully and wonderfully made and He

breathed life into us. Above all, God dwells within us through the Holy

Spirit. Isn't that far more remarkable? So, how would you price yourself

in this world? Would you even attempt to? The truth is, we don’t belong in

the world’s marketplace. But if we ignore our worth, that’s exactly where

we might end up.

My heart grieves as I see how many have been deceived into undervaluing

themselves. They look in the mirror and see only their outward

appearance, failing to recognize the immense value within. It’s not that

outward beauty doesn’t have worth, it’s God-given but it must be defined

alongside the reality of the inner treasure. The key is to see ourselves

through the true mirror, which is God, our Creator.

2
 Just as a pearl is formed through time and hidden away, precious yet

veiled, so too has God placed His treasure within us. He has given us a

unique identity, cloaked in our bodies of clay. But unless we discover this

treasure, we will misuse and defile our bodies, not realizing that they are

holy vessels. Our physical sight is only as accurate as the power of our

spiritual sight.

This is why God calls us to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and

pleasing to Him. It is a reasonable act of worship. God is particularly

displeased when we defile our bodies, for they are His temple. This is why

He opposes sexual sin, declaring that all other sins are outside the body,

but sexual sin is a sin against one's own body.

The enemy has used sexual sin as one of his most powerful tools to bring

down mighty warriors, knowing how deeply it offends God. His mission is

3
 to destroy God’s most precious creation, man. While sex is ordained by

God, it is meant to be experienced within the sacred boundary of

marriage. Think of this analogy: If you've never tasted a ripe mango and

your first experience is with an unripe one, your perception of mangoes

will be distorted. You’ll think all mangoes are bitter until you finally taste

the ripe one, and you’ll wonder why you ever settled for the unripe one.

Similarly, engaging in sex before marriage distorts the beauty and

intimacy God designed for this act. It leads to pain, regret, and counterfeit

intimacy. But sex within marriage is God’s perfect design, bringing joy,

security, and deeper connection.

Why settle for something bitter and unfulfilling when God has something

beautiful in store for you? If you wait, you will experience love and

intimacy in their purest, most fulfilling form, at the right time—God's time.

 ** Discovering Your Divine Identity**

The core purpose of a family in every civilization is to foster a close

relationship unlike any other. Every family has a leader—a head who

governs, nurtures, and ensures the well-being of its members.

Think about your own family setup. Imagine what life would be like without

leadership—whether from parents, guardians, or any other guiding

authority. Without order, chaos would reign. This fundamental principle

applies not just to earthly families but to the entire human race. We are

all part of a grand, divine family governed by one supreme being: The Lord

God Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth.

This truth offers great hope. Even if our earthly families are flawed or

imperfect, we have a heavenly Father who governs with love, wisdom, and

1
 purpose. His divine family is one of perfection, grace, and eternal

belonging.

The Divine Blueprint: Understanding God’s

Plan for You;

To truly understand our identity and purpose, we must reflect on God’s

mind concerning us. He did something extraordinary—something that has

shaped history, transformed lives, and provided undeniable clarity about

our existence.

God did not leave us to wander without guidance. Instead, He gave us a

divine manual—the Bible—a document that reveals our original design and

purpose. Genesis 1:26 declares, "Then God said, 'Let us make mankind in

our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea

2
 and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and

over all the creatures that move along the ground.'"

Unlike the rest of creation, which was made after its own kind, man was

uniquely fashioned in God’s image. This truth is profound—it means that

our identity is not defined by earthly standards but by our Creator

Himself. When we pause and reflect on this, we begin to grasp the

immense value God has placed upon us.

Many struggle with uncertainty, pain, and brokenness because of

distorted perceptions of God. Corrupt teachings and misconceptions have

led people into fear and doubt, keeping them from experiencing the

fullness of life God intended. However, God is eager to reveal Himself

personally to those who seek Him. He desires that we know Him—not just

through facts but through divine revelation.

3
Even though the first man, Adam, fell into sin, which brought suffering into

the world, God had a redemptive plan. John 3:16 tells us, "For God so loved

the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him

shall not perish but have eternal life." God did not abandon humanity to

destruction. Instead, He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to take the penalty of

our sin. Jesus left His throne, took on human form, endured suffering, and

died on the cross to offer us salvation. He had the power over death—

something man did not—and through Him alone, we can be saved (John

14:6).

Now that we understand this truth, how can we continue to live in

ignorance of God’s love and sacrifice? Why suffer in despair when victory

has already been secured for us? What truly matters in life if we live

outside of God’s will, rejecting the very Creator who gave us breath?

4
 Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart (Revelation 3:20). Will you

answer His call? He loves you even when you do not see it. Simply ask Him

to reveal Himself to you.

If you are already saved but feel distant from God, remember that He is

never far. Pray and say: "Jesus, I know You live and love me. It is Your

desire to walk with me daily. Reveal Yourself to me more and more so that

I may know You deeply. Thank You, Lord, for Your salvation."

If you have never accepted Jesus as Lord or if you are uncertain, align

your heart with Him today. Confess this prayer aloud, as Romans 10:9

instructs: “Dear Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I have sinned and fallen

short of Your glory. I believe You paid the debt I owed, and through You, I

receive new life. I accept Your forgiveness, given through Your sacrifice

on the cross and Your resurrection. Come and live in me today. Remove

5
 my name from the book of death and write it in the book of life. I now

believe that I am saved, in Jesus' mighty name, AMEN.”

If you prayed this prayer, know that you are saved. Seek a Bible-believing

church and ask God for guidance on where to grow spiritually. Take the

next step of baptism by full immersion, as Mark 16:16 says, “He who has

believed and has been baptized will be saved.” This act identifies you with

the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, symbolizing your new

life in Him.

May God strengthen you as you walk in the truth of your divine identity.

 Awakening to the Times

Are we truly aware of the times we are living in, or are we walking blindly,

unaware of God's perfect will for our lives? The way we answer this

question reveals whether we are fully surrendered to God's transforming

power or conforming to the fallen wisdom of this world. The increasing

darkness and moral decay in society may seem overwhelming, but God’s

plan is unshaken. He is calling His people to discern the times and walk in

His truth.

God’s Call to Awareness;

Many wonder why ungodliness appears to be spreading rapidly. Is the

enemy truly winning? Absolutely not. The patience of God is not a sign of

delay but of His deep love for humanity. He desires that none should

perish but that all come to repentance. Though the path to life is narrow,

1
it remains open to all who seek Him. The Lord has set before us a way of

holiness, calling us to walk in His light and reject the deception of the

world. The signs of the last days are evident, just as foretold by the

prophets and the faithful who came before us. No one will have an excuse

for ignoring the truth. Creation itself testifies to the power and reality of

God.

A Call to Decision;

Now is the time to wake up and embrace the truth. Jesus has already

made a way for us to be reconciled to God. His sacrifice on the cross paid

the debt we could never repay. Through His resurrection, He has given us

victory over sin and death. But this gift of salvation requires a response.

Will you continue in the ways of the world, or will you step into the

abundant life God has prepared for you?

2
 Prayer of Salvation;

Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I need Your forgiveness. I

believe You died for my sins and rose again to give me eternal life. Today,

I surrender my life to You. Please forgive me, change me, and help me to

follow You. Fill me with Your Spirit and write my name in the Book of Life.

Thank You for loving me and saving me. From now on, I am Yours. In

Jesus’ name, Amen.
