Trust God's No "If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him?" Matthew 7:11 When Jesus was here on earth, one of his major teachings to the people who listened to him was about prayer. This teaching went hand in hand with how he taught us that God is our Father and our provider. When you pray to God, He does not always give you the answers you were expecting, He does not always give you what you ask for. Because today's word says "How much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him?"*? Here, we see that God gives only "good things"** to those who ask Him. So, when you pray to God, He receives your prayers and evaluates them. He looks to see if this thing is good for you. If He sees it is not good, He will not give it to you. Today, what you need to know is that you should trust God even when He does not answer you as you were expecting. Know that whatever the response may be, it is good for you. With your human understanding, it is very difficult to know if what you are asking for is good for you or not. God says again in Psalm 84:11 "...No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly." So, believe that if something is good, God will not withhold it from you. God’s answers to our prayers are always good. He gives you things that will become a blessing to you. He can not give you something that will trouble you later. In James 1:17 it is written, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change." So, continue to pray and trust God even when He is silent or does not answer you as you wish. Believe that His plans for you are always good. Prayer: Oh, LORD, I ask you to give me faith in you, especially when you have not answered me as I want. I believe you always have good plans for me. Amen. ---------------------------------------------- Author: Minister Lucas Kaaya Telegram @Bibleverses

THE GOD MOST HIGH "I will cry out to God Most High, To God who performs all things for me. Psalms 57:2" If you live according to God's purpose and rely on Him, do not have doubts when you encounter challenges and things that you can not accomplish on your own. Know that God is with you to help you. You need God's help to succeed in your dreams and the purpose that He has placed within you. David knew this, which is why he confidently said, "I cry out to God Most High." What gives us faith and courage is knowing that our God is the Most High. This means that here on earth, there are times when you are told something is impossible. Yes, it may indeed be impossible, but when you hear or see that, know it is time to call upon the "God Most High". In His word, He says: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9 So, the God Most High is above all; nothing is impossible for Him, and He fulfills all your needs. Therefore, do not hesitate to involve God in your needs. God has called you for a special purpose and knows there are things you need to fulfill His purpose. In the Amplified Translation translation, this word says: "I will cry to God Most High, Who performs on my behalf and rewards me [Who brings to pass His purposes for me and surely completes them]! Psalm 57:2 AMPC Here it says, the God Most High is the one who will fulfill and complete His purpose in you. Therefore, when people refuse to help you, or they have tried and failed, remember there is "the God Most High" who goes before you to bring you success. Prayer: I call upon you, God Most High, I ask you to fulfill my needs, and I pray for success in everything I do. Amen ---------------------------------------------- Author: Minister Lucas Kaaya Telegram @Bibleverses

GOD WILL NOT LET YOU FALL "When I said, 'My foot is slipping,' your unfailing love, Lord, supported me. Psalm 94:18" A blessing in life is when you find someone who truly loves and values you, someone who is ready to help you when you need assistance. But there comes a time in life when you realize that no one can stand with you in life as much as you need. Only God can stand with you and help you with a loving and sincere heart. There are times when you may be surrounded by people who are close to you and think they wish you well and want the best for you, only to discover that they are with you but secretly wish to see you fall and fail. But our God is not like that; He is different. Some people may see you making mistakes and let you make them so they can rise against you to accuse or speak ill of you. But our God is not like that. David says in today's word, "When I said, 'My foot is slipping,' your unfailing love, Lord, supported me." God does not want to see you make mistakes or get lost. When you make a mistake, He restores you. God has abundant mercy. He helps us every day so that we do not fall as a father would help his little child. When you are overwhelmed and feel you are about to make a mistake, pray to God first to help and guide you. Do not seek help from people first. Talk to your God. You do not know what the person you are asking for help or advice is thinking about you. David always depended on God, and when he felt he was slipping and making mistakes, God, in His grace, helped him. Because God loves us. Prayer: Thank you, Father, for your love for me. I know you wish me well and will not let me make mistakes. I ask you to guide me and help me always. Amen. ---------------------------------------------- Author: Minister Lucas Kaaya Telegram @Bibleverses

GOD WANTS YOU TO BE WHOLE He stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." And immediately the leprosy left him. Luke 5:13 For some people, whenever they ask God to deliver them from afflictions and heal them, doubts and worries come into their minds. That's why God has frequently reminded us in His Word to be strong and have faith. We see this in the story of the leper who met Jesus in the book of Luke 5:12: "While He was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged Him, 'Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.'" You'll notice that this leper was uncertain if Jesus wanted to heal him. He also didn't know if he deserved to be healed. He had no doubts about Jesus' ability to heal; he fully believed Jesus could heal him. His question was, "Does Jesus want to heal me?" This is a problem for many people even today. Due to our weaknesses, we often feel unworthy before God. You may pray earnestly, but when you look at yourself, you have doubts about your own worthiness and whether you deserve what you are asking for. This was the state of the leper, which is why he said to Jesus, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean." Now, do not sabotage or reject yourself before God. The Word of God says: "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:15-16" I assure you, by the Word of God, Jesus Christ wants you to be whole. He wants you to be healed, to be free, to succeed in your work, and to live a life of joy and peace. And this morning, Jesus Christ is saying, "I am willing; to be cleansed." Prayer: Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your love and mercy towards me. I entrust all my needs to You. I know You want to heal me. I ask You to heal me and cleanse me completely. Amen. ---------------------------------------------- Author: Minister Lucas Kaaya Telegram @Bibleverses

EVEN IF HE HAS COMMITTED SINS, HE WILL BE FORGIVEN And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up; even if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. James 5:15 When we believe in God and pray in faith, the things He can do in our lives are amazing and astonishing. The Word of God says, "Everything is possible for one who believes. Mark 9:23" Today's word encourages us to pray for one another. God knows our weaknesses, but He also knows that there are others He has gifted with talents and strength that they can use to help those who are weak in faith. First, let me encourage you; the prayers you are praying for your relatives, friends, and your family are not in vain. God hears them and acts on them because He commanded us to pray for others. The book of James 5:16 says: "Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." Effective prayers are those prayed with diligence, which is why God tells us to pray for each other earnestly. When diligence is combined with faith, it will surely bring results. Prayers offered earnestly and in faith have great power to bring healing. The Word of God also says that the person you are praying for, "even if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven." What discourages us when praying for others is seeing no change in them or knowing the sins and evil they have committed or are currently committing. Sometimes, you might pray for someone but become disheartened when you think of what they have done or are doing. Today's message assures us that if we have faith and diligence in praying for someone, God will heal and deliver that person, and "even if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven." Prayer: Oh, LORD, I ask you to give me diligence and faith as I pray for others. Amen ---------------------------------------------- Author: Minister Lucas Kaaya Telegram @Bibleverses

CHANGE IS YOUR CHOICE AND YOUR DECISION "By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter; Hebrews 11:24" Everyone in this world has been given the opportunity by God to change. It does not matter the circumstances of your birth or the type of family you come from. You may indeed be where you are because of your nature or circumstances, or perhaps because of a wickedness and curse in your family. But I want you to know that you have the chance to change. Today's message says, "By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter;" where it is written " by faith" it means there was no tangible evidence or sign of change—it was Moses' faith that made it happen. What you need is faith and the decision to reject the kind of life you are currently living that has no benefit. Also, do not think that you can not change because your family is under punishment or a curse. No! The word of God says; "The one who sins is the one who will die. The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them. Ezekiel 18:20" And if you have already lived a life of sin and become like one of them and you feel God's punishment is upon you because of what you have done, the word of God says; "But if a wicked person turns away from all the sins they have committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and right, that person will surely live; they will not die. Ezekiel 18:21" Therefore, just as Moses refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter, today you should refuse to be the person that Satan has made you or wants you to be. And break out of every family pattern. Have faith like Moses, and God will change and use you. Amen. Prayer: "O LORD, by faith, I refuse to live a life of suffering and curses. Today, I choose to be a different person. O Jesus, help me. Amen." ---------------------------------------------- Author: Minister Lucas Kaaya Telegram @Bibleverses

UNCHANGING Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. However, three major things can change our perspective of God and make us see Him differently. 1. False Teachings: Some people preach a God they do not know, They teach a different Jesus than the one written in the Bible. They distort words and give incorrect interpretations of the scriptures. Some do this to gain money, while others are agents of Satan leading God's people astray. 2. Personal Inner Perspective: The challenges you face in your life can change your perspective, making you see God differently than the one you read about in the Bible. Especially when you have prayed for certain things, but He hasn’t responded as He did in the Bible. 3. Sin: From the beginning, when man sinned, he saw God as his enemy and hid. Genesis 3:9-11: Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, "Where are you?" So he said, "I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself." And He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?" From this point, man has always seen himself as unworthy before God and thinks that God sees him the same way. Therefore, when we sin and face challenges, we feel that God is not pleased with us and that He does not love us, and that’s why we go through difficulties. Satan has heavily invested in our thoughts, creating enmity by often using God’s own words to condemn and convincing us that God hates us because of our weaknesses. But Jesus has reconciled you to God you are no longer enemies with Him. You are his child, the Word of God says: "And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled; Colossians 1:21" Therefore, our God is the same one who loves and values us always. He is ready to do great and wonderful things for you if you believe and love Him because He is our Father. Do not think that God does not love you because of your weaknesses; God's grace is upon you to help you. Amen. Prayer: O God, you are unchanging. I pray, help me not to change and leave you. Grant me the grace to see you always as a loving and merciful Father. Amen. ---------------------------------------------- Author: Minister Lucas Kaaya Telegram @Bibleverses

GOD IS THE ONE WHO MAKES YOU PROSPEROUS "I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who summons you by name." Isaiah 45:3 God blesses you so that you may know that He is God because one of the most important things in a person's life is their daily needs. Therefore, when God blesses you, it is so that you may know that He is the one who created you, your God who takes care of you and makes you prosper. That is why He says, "so that you may know that I am the LORD, who summons you by name." There are times in life when you may need something and try many ways to get it but get stuck, or you may use a lot of effort but you won't get results, and if you get results, they will be minimal. When you believe in God and depend on Him, you need to know that success and wealth come from God. That is why He says, "I will give you the treasures of darkness," so it is God who gives you wealth and success. Even when they are hidden in darkness. If you work without God's blessing, you can not succeed, no matter how hard you try. The important thing in life is to seek God first, and then you will succeed in your work. Some people work very hard, and some do not sleep day and night, but still they are not successful. For God to give you His blessings, there are things He is searching for in you. It is not that you will just sit and wait for God to bless you—no! You must be diligent and hardworking in your work, and then God will come to bless you. The Word of God says; "So then, you must never think that you have made yourselves wealthy by your own power and strength. Remember that it is the Lord your God who gives you the power to become rich. He does this because he is still faithful today to the covenant that he made with your ancestors." Deuteronomy 8:17-18 GNT So today, ask God to give you strength and diligence in your work so that He may bless your work, and you may achieve the success you desire. Prayer: I thank You, God, for Your love for me. I know you are with me to make me prosperous. I pray that You give me diligence in my work so that You may bless me even more. ---------------------------------------------- Author: Minister Lucas Kaaya Telegram @Bibleverses

God is Your Defender from Oppression and Unrighteousness When you face oppression and unrighteousness, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and alone. But the Bible reminds you that God is your defender, your protector, and your saviour. One powerful verse that highlights this is Isaiah 33:22: "For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is he who will save us." This verse speaks directly to God's multifaceted role in your life. As your judge, God ensures that justice prevails. As your lawgiver, He provides the divine laws that guide your actions and protect you from harm. As your king, He reigns supreme, wielding power to rescue you from any form of oppression. God is committed to defending the afflicted and saving those in need. His justice is not passive; it’s active and decisive against those who seek to oppress you. This assurance allows you to place your trust in Him, knowing that He is actively working for your good. Throughout the Scriptures, God has promised us protection. His promises reassure you that no matter what form of unrighteousness or oppression you face, God’s righteous hand will uphold and strengthen you. His presence is a constant source of courage and support. When you meditate on these scriptures, you recognize that God’s role as your defender is an integral part of His nature. He is committed to protecting you from all forms of oppression and unrighteousness. By trusting in His power and promises, you can face any challenge with the confidence that God is actively working for your salvation and justice. Prayer: God, thank you for your protection, I believe you are with me always, no matter what I go through, you are with me to save me and deliver me. Amen
