Welcome to another day with Jesus, the lover of our souls!
Hope this morning’s podcast will truly bless and equip you for the day.
Now the term “Humble yourself and God will lift you in honour” has been repeated several times in the Word. Jesus has said it, James and Paul quoted it too!
Today, keep this in your heart and mind, that if you want God to lift you up then you will have to be willing to humble yourself at the feet of Jesus.
Many of us go through humility or humble situations not because we wanted to be humble but God had to humble you and apply the brakes on your life.
It is not about that humility. It’s about what God said if you exalt yourself, you will be humbled but if you humble yourself, you will be exalted.
It’s easy to point fingers at others’ mistakes, failures and struggles but when we look at our own lives we find it hard and impossible to humble and submit before God.
Jesus planned and laid down His life, God didn’t push it on Him. He humbled Himself to the point of death.
We can humble ourselves for a day but God is calling us for a lifestyle of being humble, laying ourselves everyday at the altar and dying to ourself. When we do that, you move God’s heart to elevate you!
And when God lifts you up, He does it with style and honour.
I pray this season, you will take a step of faith and lay yourself down at God’s altar and tell God not my will but Your will God.
You are a blessing!

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
