    THE INCREDIBLE DESIGN OF PILOT WHALE SKIN

    Ships traveling through the ocean have to be regularly cleaned because barnacles attach themselves to the hull. If enough build up, they create drag and reduce the ship’s efficiency.

    Whales can have the same problem. Barnacles are commonly seen clinging to the skin of several whale species, sometimes in large numbers. Some barnacles are even specially adapted for life attached to whales.

    But pilot whales are remarkably free of them.

    Researchers studying pilot whale skin discovered that part of the answer may be found at the microscopic level. The skin contains tiny pores surrounded by structures called nanoridges. Along with these structures, the skin produces a gel-like material with antifouling and antimicrobial properties.

    Together, these features make it difficult for barnacle larvae to establish a secure grip while also helping protect the skin from microorganisms.

    Human engineers have taken notice. Researchers have studied pilot whale skin for ideas that could lead to better antifouling surfaces for ships, potentially preventing barnacles from attaching in the first place.

    Think about that. Intelligent engineers face a difficult problem, discover that a whale already has an effective solution, study how it works, and then deliberately try to copy it.

    We recognize intelligence when humans imitate the system, yet we're told the original arose through unguided evolutionary processes.

    From a biblical perspective, there is no mystery about why nature contains engineering that repeatedly inspires our own. The creatures filling our oceans are the workmanship of a Creator whose wisdom far exceeds our own.

    “O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.” — Psalm 104:24

    THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD

    “One of the clearest biblical demonstrations of the Holy Spirit's deity appears in Acts chapter 5.

    Peter confronted Ananias and said:
    ‘Why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit?’

    TITLE: "SURRENDER AND COMMIT: LET GOD DIRECT YOUR PLANS"

    ANCHOR SCRIPTURE(S)

    Romans 12:1–2 (KJV) "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

    Proverbs 16:3 (KJV) "Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established."

    QUOTE TO REFLECT ON

    “Surrender your life to God, renew your mind, and commit your plans to Him.”

    DAY'S REFLECTION

    A new month gives us a fresh opportunity to surrender, reset, and refocus. Romans 12:1 calls us to present ourselves to God as a “living sacrifice.” Unlike an offering that is given once and forgotten, a living sacrifice means continually yielding our lives, choices, plans, and desires to God.

    Paul says, “be not conformed to this world.” To conform means to allow outside pressures to shape our thinking and behaviour. The world will constantly tell us what to value, pursue, and imitate. But believers are called to follow God's standards.

    Instead, Scripture says, “be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Transformation begins from within. When God's Word changes our thinking, it changes our attitudes, decisions, habits, and ultimately our lives.

    Then Proverbs 16:3 gives us a practical key: “Commit thy works unto the LORD.” To commit means to entrust or hand over completely. It does not mean abandoning responsibility; it means doing our part while trusting God with the outcome.

    Many people make plans and then ask God to bless them afterward. Biblical wisdom teaches us to bring our plans to God first. When our desires are surrendered to Him, He establishes our thoughts and helps bring clarity and stability to our decisions.

    Life experience shows that plans made without proper direction can produce unnecessary stress and disappointment. But when we seek God's will, we gain wisdom to know what to pursue, what to change, and what to leave behind.

    As September begins, don't simply make new plans—give God your plans. Don't just seek new opportunities—seek God's direction. Don't allow the pressures of the world to shape your identity—allow God's Word to renew your mind.

    Surrender. Renew. Commit. Then move forward with confidence.

    MEDITATION SCRIPTURE(S)

    Psalm 37:5 (KJV) "Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass."

    Proverbs 3:5–6 (KJV) "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

    Philippians 4:8 (KJV) "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, **think on these things."

    LIFE LESSONS (IMPLICATIONS)

    1. True worship includes surrendering our entire lives to God.

    2. Our minds must continually be renewed by God's Word.

    3. We should not allow worldly pressure to determine our values.

    4. Commit your plans and work to God before pursuing them.

    5. God's direction brings stability and clarity.

    6. Surrender does not mean inactivity; it means working while trusting God.

    EVERYDAY ACTION

    Give God your plans before pursuing them. Renew your mind with Scripture. Reject one unhealthy influence. Do today's work wholeheartedly. Trust God with the results.

    PRAYER

    Father, I surrender my life, plans, and desires to You. Renew my mind through Your Word, establish my thoughts, and direct my steps throughout this new month. In Jesus' name, Amen.

    DECLARATION

    I belong to God. My mind is renewed, my plans are committed to the Lord, and my steps are divinely directed. September shall be a month of God's purpose, wisdom, and fruitful progress in my life. Amen!

  • GOD Sees The Intention of the Heart. There is no Anointing if you Make it About your Self and There is no Anointing if it's Operate in the Flesh, Since Biblical Times up to now, Still GOD never Shares His Glory with us. By giving us the Glory through Victory, He gets the Glory and No One can steal it from Him. And Anyone who is doing anything for GOD must do it hidden, Knowing that GOD knows how to unveil his People at His Timing, Anything we do for GOD should be to Advance His Kingdom, not our own career. This distinction must be Learn by everyone.

    In This Perilous Times and End Time Generation, Many Church Denomination TURNED THE SACRED ALTAR INTO A STAGE.

    Isaiah 42:8

    8 “I am the Lord; that is my Name!
    I will not yield my Glory to another
    or my praise to idols.

    Isaiah 48:11

    11 "For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this.
    How can I let myself be defamed?
    I will not yield my Glory to another.

  • TODAY'S KINGDOM INSIGHTS:

    SERMON TOPIC:

    SERMON: BE SPIRITUALLY ALERT — EMBER MONTHS ARE HERE.

    Theme:

    “Watch and Pray: Finishing the Year Strong in Christ”

    Key Text:

    1 Peter 5:8–9

    > “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”


    THE YEAR IS NOT OVER YET!

    Beloved, we have entered the final stretch of the year.
    The ember months—September, October, November and December—are often associated with celebrations, travelling, weddings, parties, business activities, family gatherings and end-of-year excitement.
    But as Christians, we must understand something:
    The end of the year is not a time to become spiritually careless. It is a time to become spiritually alert!
    Many people become relaxed because they think, “The year is almost over.”
    But the devil does not take a holiday.
    Your prayer life must not go on holiday.
    Your Bible study must not go on holiday.
    Your holiness must not go on holiday.
    Your spiritual discernment must not go on holiday.
    The fact that we are approaching the end of the year does not mean we should lower our spiritual guard.
    This is the season to watch, pray, discern and finish well!

    1. BE SOBER AND VIGILANT.
    1 Peter 5:8
    Peter says:
    > “Be sober, be vigilant…”
    To be sober means to remain spiritually clear-minded.
    To be vigilant means to remain watchful and alert.
    A Christian can be physically awake but spiritually asleep.
    You may attend church and still become spiritually careless.
    You may carry a Bible and still lose spiritual sensitivity.
    You may pray yesterday and still need to pray today.
    The ember months can bring many distractions:
    Excessive celebrations
    Ungodly relationships
    Financial pressure
    Peer pressure
    Sexual temptation
    Substance abuse
    Unnecessary travelling
    Reckless spending
    Internet and social-media distractions
    Pressure to “make it before the year ends”
    Do not allow the excitement of the season to silence the voice of the Holy Spirit.
    2. WATCH AND PRAY
    Matthew 26:41
    > “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation…”

    Notice that Jesus did not say pray without watching.
    He said:
    Watch AND pray.
    Prayer without spiritual alertness can make us careless.
    Spiritual alertness without prayer can make us powerless.
    We need both.
    During these months, increase your prayer life.
    Pray concerning:
    Your family
    Your children
    Your marriage
    Your career
    Your ministry
    Your finances
    Your travels
    Your relationships
    Your spiritual life
    The decisions you will make
    Do not wait until trouble comes before you begin to pray.
    Prayer is not only a crisis response; prayer is spiritual preparation.
    3. DO NOT LET THE SEASON STEAL YOUR SPIRITUAL FIRE
    Romans 12:11
    > “Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.
    One danger of the ember months is spiritual fatigue.
    People become tired and say:
    > “I have prayed enough this year.”
    No!
    You don't retire from your relationship with God because the calendar is approaching December.
    Your spiritual fire must continue burning.
    Leviticus 6:13
    > “The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.”

    Your altar must remain alive.
    Don't let December find you spiritually empty.
    Keep reading the Word.
    Keep praying.
    Keep worshipping.
    Keep serving.
    Keep witnessing.
    Keep forgiving.
    Keep walking in holiness.
    4. BE CAREFUL WITH DECISIONS MADE UNDER PRESSURE.
    The final months of the year can create tremendous pressure.
    People begin asking:
    “What have you achieved this year?”
    “How much money have you made?”
    “When are you getting married?”
    “When will you build your house?”
    “When will you buy a car?”
    “What are you doing with your life?”
    Such questions can create comparison and desperation.
    And desperation can lead people into wrong decisions.
    Remember:
    You do not need to destroy your future because you are trying to impress people before December 31.
    Psalm 37:7 says:
    > “Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him…”
    Do not enter a wrong relationship because you are afraid of being single.
    Do not enter fraudulent business because you want quick money.
    Do not compromise your faith because you want acceptance.
    Do not abandon God's principles because you feel behind.
    God's timing is better than human pressure.
    5. FINISH THE YEAR STRONG.
    Philippians 3:13–14
    Paul says:
    > “Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before…”

    There is still time.
    Perhaps January did not go as planned.
    Maybe February brought disappointment.
    Maybe March brought unexpected challenges.
    Maybe you made mistakes.
    Maybe opportunities passed.
    Maybe you experienced losses.
    But the year is not over yet.
    Don't spend the remaining months mourning what went wrong.
    Ask:
    > “Lord, what can I still do with the time You have given me?”
    You can still pray.
    You can still reconcile.
    You can still start.
    You can still learn.
    You can still serve.
    You can still evangelize.
    You can still correct your mistakes.
    You can still become spiritually stronger.
    There are still chapters of your story that have not been written.

    BIBLICAL CASE STUDY:

    NEHEMIAH.

    Consider Nehemiah.
    When Nehemiah and the people were rebuilding Jerusalem's wall, their enemies attempted to distract and intimidate them.
    Nehemiah 4:9
    > “Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night…”
    Look at the balance:
    They prayed AND they watched.
    They did not say:
    > “We are praying, so we don't need to be careful.”
    Neither did they say:
    > “We are watching, so we don't need God.”
    They did both.
    Prayer + Watchfulness = Spiritual Alertness
    This is a powerful principle for the ember months.
    Pray as though everything depends on God.
    Work and watch as though God expects you to be responsible.

    DEEP SPIRITUAL INSIGHTS.

    1. Not every opportunity is a God-given opportunity.
    Some opportunities are simply distractions dressed as blessings.
    Discern before you accept.
    2. Not every relationship deserves access to your destiny.
    Some relationships strengthen your faith.
    Others weaken it.
    Watch your associations.
    3. The enemy often uses distraction before destruction.
    He does not always begin with something obviously evil.
    Sometimes he begins with:
    > “Just this once.”
    Then another time.
    Then another.
    Eventually, compromise becomes normal.
    4. The final months require spiritual discipline, not spiritual panic.
    Do not wait until December to start asking God to fix everything.
    Walk with God daily.
    5. Your greatest victory may be finishing faithfully.
    Not everyone who starts well finishes well.
    Your goal should not simply be:
    > “I want to end the year wealthy.”
    Say:
    > “I want to end the year closer to God, stronger in faith, cleaner in character and faithful to my assignment.”

    PRACTICAL ACTION STEPS FOR THE EMBER MONTHS.

    1. Establish a daily prayer time.
    Even if it is 15–30 minutes, be consistent.
    2. Read the Bible daily.
    Don't allow social media to receive more attention than God's Word.
    3. Examine your relationships.
    Ask who is strengthening your faith and who is weakening it.
    4. Avoid unnecessary risks.
    Be wise with travelling, finances, relationships and celebrations.
    5. Control your spending.
    Don't spend January's resources trying to impress people in December.
    6. Stay connected to Christian fellowship.
    Don't isolate yourself spiritually.
    7. Practice gratitude.
    Count your blessings instead of comparing yourself with others.
    8. Set spiritual goals.
    Before the year ends, decide what you want to accomplish spiritually.
    9. Reconcile where necessary.
    Do not carry unnecessary bitterness into another year.
    10. Finish what God has entrusted to you.
    Don't abandon your assignment because the year has been difficult.

    QUESTIONS FOR PERSONAL REFLECTION

    1. How spiritually alert am I right now?
    2. Has my prayer life become weaker?
    3. What distractions are threatening my relationship with God?
    4. Are there relationships I need to reconsider?
    5. Am I making decisions because of God's leading or because of pressure?
    6. What temptation do I need to become more watchful against?
    7. What unfinished assignment should I complete before the year ends?
    8. If the year ended today, would I be satisfied with my walk with God?
    9. What must I stop doing?
    10. What must I start doing?

    POWERFUL PRAYER POINTS

    1. Prayer for spiritual alertness
    Father, awaken my spirit and make me sensitive to Your voice. Help me to recognize every distraction and every trap of the enemy.
    2. Prayer for protection
    Lord, preserve me, my family and everyone connected to me throughout these remaining months. Keep us from evil and unnecessary danger.
    3. Prayer against temptation
    Father, strengthen me to say NO to every temptation that can destroy my testimony, destiny and relationship with You.
    4. Prayer for divine direction.
    Lord, guide my decisions. Give me wisdom to know what to accept, what to reject and what to wait for.
    5. Prayer against desperation
    Father, deliver me from the pressure to compete, compare or compromise. Help me to trust Your timing.
    6. Prayer for restoration
    Lord, restore whatever I have lost that is according to Your will, and give me wisdom to recover what can still be recovered.
    7. Prayer for finishing well
    Father, I will not finish this year spiritually empty. Give me grace to finish stronger, wiser, purer and closer to You than I started.
    8. Prayer for the family
    Lord, preserve our families. Let no tragedy, division or destructive influence prevail over our homes.
    9. Prayer for purpose
    Father, help me to complete every assignment You have entrusted to me before the end of this year.
    10. Prayer of surrender
    Lord Jesus, I surrender the remaining months of this year to You. Take control of my life, my plans, my family, my decisions and my future. Let Your will be done in my life. Amen.

    STRONG CLOSING: DON'T SLEEP THROUGH YOUR SEASON!

    Church, the ember months are here, but God's grace is still available!
    Don't become careless.
    Don't become distracted.
    Don't become desperate.
    Don't compromise.
    Don't allow celebrations to replace consecration.
    Don't allow social pressure to replace God's direction.
    Don't allow the mistakes of yesterday to destroy the possibilities of tomorrow.
    WATCH!
    PRAY!
    DISCERN!
    STAND FIRM!
    FINISH STRONG!

    The year may be approaching its final months, but your assignment is not finished.
    Your testimony is not finished.
    Your purpose is not finished.
    Your story is not finished.
    And above all:
    God is not finished with you!
    > “Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.” — Mark 13:33

    MY CHARGE TO YOU:

    Enter the ember months with prayer.
    Walk through them with wisdom.
    Live through them with holiness.
    Move through them with discernment.
    And finish them with thanksgiving.

    Be spiritually alert.
    Your destiny is too valuable to sleep through your season!
    In Jesus' name, Amen.

    Surrender your life to Jesus by joining a Bible believing Church.

    TODAY'S KINGDOM INSIGHTS: SERMON TOPIC: 🔥SERMON: BE SPIRITUALLY ALERT — EMBER MONTHS ARE HERE. Theme: “Watch and Pray: Finishing the Year Strong in Christ” Key Text: 1 Peter 5:8–9 > “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” 🔥 THE YEAR IS NOT OVER YET! Beloved, we have entered the final stretch of the year. The ember months—September, October, November and December—are often associated with celebrations, travelling, weddings, parties, business activities, family gatherings and end-of-year excitement. But as Christians, we must understand something: The end of the year is not a time to become spiritually careless. It is a time to become spiritually alert! Many people become relaxed because they think, “The year is almost over.” But the devil does not take a holiday. Your prayer life must not go on holiday. Your Bible study must not go on holiday. Your holiness must not go on holiday. Your spiritual discernment must not go on holiday. The fact that we are approaching the end of the year does not mean we should lower our spiritual guard. This is the season to watch, pray, discern and finish well! 1. 🛡️ BE SOBER AND VIGILANT. 1 Peter 5:8 Peter says: > “Be sober, be vigilant…” To be sober means to remain spiritually clear-minded. To be vigilant means to remain watchful and alert. A Christian can be physically awake but spiritually asleep. You may attend church and still become spiritually careless. You may carry a Bible and still lose spiritual sensitivity. You may pray yesterday and still need to pray today. The ember months can bring many distractions: Excessive celebrations Ungodly relationships Financial pressure Peer pressure Sexual temptation Substance abuse Unnecessary travelling Reckless spending Internet and social-media distractions Pressure to “make it before the year ends” Do not allow the excitement of the season to silence the voice of the Holy Spirit. 2. 🙏 WATCH AND PRAY Matthew 26:41 > “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation…” Notice that Jesus did not say pray without watching. He said: Watch AND pray. Prayer without spiritual alertness can make us careless. Spiritual alertness without prayer can make us powerless. We need both. During these months, increase your prayer life. Pray concerning: Your family Your children Your marriage Your career Your ministry Your finances Your travels Your relationships Your spiritual life The decisions you will make Do not wait until trouble comes before you begin to pray. Prayer is not only a crisis response; prayer is spiritual preparation. 3. 🕯️ DO NOT LET THE SEASON STEAL YOUR SPIRITUAL FIRE Romans 12:11 > “Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord. One danger of the ember months is spiritual fatigue. People become tired and say: > “I have prayed enough this year.” No! You don't retire from your relationship with God because the calendar is approaching December. Your spiritual fire must continue burning. Leviticus 6:13 > “The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.” Your altar must remain alive. Don't let December find you spiritually empty. Keep reading the Word. Keep praying. Keep worshipping. Keep serving. Keep witnessing. Keep forgiving. Keep walking in holiness. 4. ⚠️ BE CAREFUL WITH DECISIONS MADE UNDER PRESSURE. The final months of the year can create tremendous pressure. People begin asking: “What have you achieved this year?” “How much money have you made?” “When are you getting married?” “When will you build your house?” “When will you buy a car?” “What are you doing with your life?” Such questions can create comparison and desperation. And desperation can lead people into wrong decisions. Remember: You do not need to destroy your future because you are trying to impress people before December 31. Psalm 37:7 says: > “Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him…” Do not enter a wrong relationship because you are afraid of being single. Do not enter fraudulent business because you want quick money. Do not compromise your faith because you want acceptance. Do not abandon God's principles because you feel behind. God's timing is better than human pressure. 5. 🎯 FINISH THE YEAR STRONG. Philippians 3:13–14 Paul says: > “Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before…” There is still time. Perhaps January did not go as planned. Maybe February brought disappointment. Maybe March brought unexpected challenges. Maybe you made mistakes. Maybe opportunities passed. Maybe you experienced losses. But the year is not over yet. Don't spend the remaining months mourning what went wrong. Ask: > “Lord, what can I still do with the time You have given me?” You can still pray. You can still reconcile. You can still start. You can still learn. You can still serve. You can still evangelize. You can still correct your mistakes. You can still become spiritually stronger. There are still chapters of your story that have not been written. 📖 BIBLICAL CASE STUDY: NEHEMIAH. Consider Nehemiah. When Nehemiah and the people were rebuilding Jerusalem's wall, their enemies attempted to distract and intimidate them. Nehemiah 4:9 > “Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night…” Look at the balance: They prayed AND they watched. They did not say: > “We are praying, so we don't need to be careful.” Neither did they say: > “We are watching, so we don't need God.” They did both. Prayer + Watchfulness = Spiritual Alertness This is a powerful principle for the ember months. Pray as though everything depends on God. Work and watch as though God expects you to be responsible. 💡 DEEP SPIRITUAL INSIGHTS. 1. Not every opportunity is a God-given opportunity. Some opportunities are simply distractions dressed as blessings. Discern before you accept. 2. Not every relationship deserves access to your destiny. Some relationships strengthen your faith. Others weaken it. Watch your associations. 3. The enemy often uses distraction before destruction. He does not always begin with something obviously evil. Sometimes he begins with: > “Just this once.” Then another time. Then another. Eventually, compromise becomes normal. 4. The final months require spiritual discipline, not spiritual panic. Do not wait until December to start asking God to fix everything. Walk with God daily. 5. Your greatest victory may be finishing faithfully. Not everyone who starts well finishes well. Your goal should not simply be: > “I want to end the year wealthy.” Say: > “I want to end the year closer to God, stronger in faith, cleaner in character and faithful to my assignment.” ✅ PRACTICAL ACTION STEPS FOR THE EMBER MONTHS. 1. Establish a daily prayer time. Even if it is 15–30 minutes, be consistent. 2. Read the Bible daily. Don't allow social media to receive more attention than God's Word. 3. Examine your relationships. Ask who is strengthening your faith and who is weakening it. 4. Avoid unnecessary risks. Be wise with travelling, finances, relationships and celebrations. 5. Control your spending. Don't spend January's resources trying to impress people in December. 6. Stay connected to Christian fellowship. Don't isolate yourself spiritually. 7. Practice gratitude. Count your blessings instead of comparing yourself with others. 8. Set spiritual goals. Before the year ends, decide what you want to accomplish spiritually. 9. Reconcile where necessary. Do not carry unnecessary bitterness into another year. 10. Finish what God has entrusted to you. Don't abandon your assignment because the year has been difficult. 🤔 QUESTIONS FOR PERSONAL REFLECTION 1. How spiritually alert am I right now? 2. Has my prayer life become weaker? 3. What distractions are threatening my relationship with God? 4. Are there relationships I need to reconsider? 5. Am I making decisions because of God's leading or because of pressure? 6. What temptation do I need to become more watchful against? 7. What unfinished assignment should I complete before the year ends? 8. If the year ended today, would I be satisfied with my walk with God? 9. What must I stop doing? 10. What must I start doing? 🙏 POWERFUL PRAYER POINTS 1. Prayer for spiritual alertness Father, awaken my spirit and make me sensitive to Your voice. Help me to recognize every distraction and every trap of the enemy. 2. Prayer for protection Lord, preserve me, my family and everyone connected to me throughout these remaining months. Keep us from evil and unnecessary danger. 3. Prayer against temptation Father, strengthen me to say NO to every temptation that can destroy my testimony, destiny and relationship with You. 4. Prayer for divine direction. Lord, guide my decisions. Give me wisdom to know what to accept, what to reject and what to wait for. 5. Prayer against desperation Father, deliver me from the pressure to compete, compare or compromise. Help me to trust Your timing. 6. Prayer for restoration Lord, restore whatever I have lost that is according to Your will, and give me wisdom to recover what can still be recovered. 7. Prayer for finishing well Father, I will not finish this year spiritually empty. Give me grace to finish stronger, wiser, purer and closer to You than I started. 8. Prayer for the family Lord, preserve our families. Let no tragedy, division or destructive influence prevail over our homes. 9. Prayer for purpose Father, help me to complete every assignment You have entrusted to me before the end of this year. 10. Prayer of surrender Lord Jesus, I surrender the remaining months of this year to You. Take control of my life, my plans, my family, my decisions and my future. Let Your will be done in my life. Amen. 🔥 STRONG CLOSING: DON'T SLEEP THROUGH YOUR SEASON! Church, the ember months are here, but God's grace is still available! Don't become careless. Don't become distracted. Don't become desperate. Don't compromise. Don't allow celebrations to replace consecration. Don't allow social pressure to replace God's direction. Don't allow the mistakes of yesterday to destroy the possibilities of tomorrow. WATCH! PRAY! DISCERN! STAND FIRM! FINISH STRONG! The year may be approaching its final months, but your assignment is not finished. Your testimony is not finished. Your purpose is not finished. Your story is not finished. And above all: God is not finished with you! > “Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.” — Mark 13:33 🔥 MY CHARGE TO YOU: Enter the ember months with prayer. Walk through them with wisdom. Live through them with holiness. Move through them with discernment. And finish them with thanksgiving. Be spiritually alert. Your destiny is too valuable to sleep through your season! In Jesus' name, Amen. Surrender your life to Jesus by joining a Bible believing Church.
