The Gospel Diary

As we gather on this last Sunday of the year, December 29th, 2024, let's take a moment to reflect on our spiritual journey. We're on the threshold of a new year, and it's essential to examine our lives and ensure we have the seal of God. In Revelation 9:4, we see that God's seal protects His people from harm. As we prepare to enter 2025, let's ask ourselves: Do we have the seal of God? This seal represents God's ownership, protection, and empowerment. It signifies that we belong to Him, and He has set us apart for His purposes. As we crossover into the new year, let's seek God's seal and protection. Let's commit to living according to His will and purposes, and trust in His goodness and faithfulness. May we enter 2025 with hope, faith, and spiritual renewal, knowing that we have the seal of God to guide and protect us. Reflection Questions : 1. Have you examined your spiritual life lately? 2. Are you living according to God's will and...

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I invite you to join me in reflecting on the supremacy of our God. In a world filled with uncertainty and chaos, it's easy to lose sight of who's truly in control. But Revelation 5:13 reminds us that God is the Supreme Leader, not just over heaven and earth, but also over the sea and unknown realms. This verse says: "And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever." As we celebrate this season, let's remember that God's sovereignty is not limited to our individual lives or our local communities. His reign extends far beyond our understanding, encompassing every corner of the universe. So, let's take a moment to praise God for His supremacy. Let's acknowledge that He's the One who si...

🌺Memory Verse🌺: "For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." - Hebrews 4:12 (NIV). Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ. Today, I want to remind you of the power that lies in the word of prophecy. In the Bible, we see numerous instances where prophecies were spoken, and they came to pass. As it is written in Jeremiah 1:12, "The Lord said to me, 'You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.'" From the prophecies of Isaiah to the prophecies of Revelation, we see the power of God's word unfolding. As our Lord Jesus Christ said in Matthew 24:35, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away." But prophecy is not just limited to the Bible. In our own lives, we can experience the power of prophecy when we hear a word from God, spoken through H...
