GOD REVEALED! — JOHN 1:18

No one has ever seen God. But the unique One [Jesus], who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us.v— John 1:18 NLT

God is much too holy to be seen by human eyes. A face-to-face encounter with the Holy God of Israel was beyond the scope of human capability. [1] Jesus, however, came as God in human flesh, Immanuel, God with us! [2] So Jesus did much more than tell us about God. He revealed God. Jesus is God revealed. In his touch of the leper, in his raising of Lazarus, in his healing of the blind, in his feeding of the 5000, we see God at work and God in love with his human creation. Jesus is the great reminder that God not only wanted to know us but that he also wanted to be known by us. So as John finishes his beautiful prologue, please hear his invitation to come and see what Jesus did and know his life on earth was God at work, God in ministry, and God offering us his love.
[1] Exodus 33:20.
[2] Matthew 1:23.

Today's Prayer

Holy and righteous Father, thank you for wanting to make yourself known to me. Open the eyes of my heart, Lord, and in Jesus' ministry help me fully see you and your love for me and your call upon my life. I pray this in the name of Jesus, Immanuel. Amen.

So much of sin begins when “I” becomes bigger than God.

I want what I want.
I deserve this.
I know better.
I will do it my way.
I do not need anyone to tell me what to do.

Pride slowly shifts the center of our lives from God to ourselves.

The problem is not that we have dreams, desires, opinions, or ambitions.
The problem begins when we place ourselves above God and make our own will the highest authority.

Sin says, “What do I want?”
Surrender says, “Lord, what do You want?”

Pride says, “Look at what I have accomplished.”
Humility says, “Everything I have is because of Your grace.”

That is why Jesus calls us to deny ourselves.

*“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.”*
Luke 9:23

Sometimes the greatest spiritual battle is not against what is around us.
It is against what is inside us.

The desire to be right.
The need to be recognized.
The hunger to control.
The refusal to surrender.

Because when “I” sits on the throne, there is very little room for God.

But when we surrender ourselves to Him, we finally discover who we were created to be.

Less of me.
More of Him.

Because the center of a surrendered life is no longer “I.”

It is Christ.

Following God is not always easy. 🙏

When you choose to follow Christ, you cannot simply live however you want. God’s love comes with correction and discipline. When He loves you, He will chastise you and redirect you when you go wrong.

Be mindful of your decisions and take your walk with God seriously. His correction is proof of His love. ❤️🔥

NOT SEEKING THE SPOTLIGHT — JOHN 1:19-21

This was John's testimony when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Temple assistants from Jerusalem to ask John, "Who are you?" He came right out and said, "I am not the Messiah."
"Well then, who are you?" they asked. "Are you Elijah?"

"No," he replied.

"Are you the Prophet we are expecting?"

"No."— John 1:19-21 NLT

Who are you?
What would you do to be viewed as important by others?
How much does your acceptance by others matter?
I don't know about you, but these are convicting questions for me. Most of us are not happy living our lives in the shadow of someone else, no matter how important that person is. Most of us want to be viewed as significant. John the Baptizer, however, lived a life of importance BECAUSE he chose the shadows and pointed others to Jesus, the light. He directed his followers to Jesus. In spite of having crowds of followers, [1] he refused to be called the Messiah they were seeking. God was pleased with John's choice! Jesus said of him, "John was like a burning and shining lamp, ..." [2] May the same also be true of each of us!
[1] John 1:15.
[2] John 5:35.

Today's Prayer

Almighty God, I ask that you make my role in your Kingdom clear. I not only want to be faithful, but I also want to be fruitful. Please show me where you want me to serve and empower me to serve with a heart of humility and grace. I pray that you will be glorified in my life and that I will be found faithful in your sight. In Jesus' name. Amen.

🔥 HELL IS REAL. ETERNITY IS REAL.

Hell was not created for man, but for the fallen angels. Yet the choices made in this life determine where eternity is spent.

Choose Jesus. Choose life. Choose eternity with God. 🙏🏾

Don’t wait until it’s too late.

Praying is the most important thing you can ever do in your life.

🌼 *Topic*: Trust His Ways
*Scripture*: Isaiah 55:8 (RSV)
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord."

God's wisdom is far above our understanding. Even when His plans seem unclear, we can trust that His ways are always perfect and for our good. Choose to rely on His wisdom rather than your own, knowing He sees the bigger picture.

*Prayer*:
Father, help me to trust Your plans even when I do not understand them in Jesus' name, Amen.

*Declare*🤚🏼‼️
I trust God's perfect wisdom and willingly follow His ways above my own.
