As a child, I used to think about eternity and the state of never dying to the point of getting gripped with fear. It has always been my desire to find out more about the life ahead after physical death and of course, it is the truth I always looked out for. I read and listened to many teachings. I also heard many testimonies of people dying and coming back but this one stood out to me the most. I found some scriptures I would like to quote to you Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through His Son Jesus Christ" Romans 10: 9-10, NKJV " [9] that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation." Matthew 7:21, "Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord will inherit the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father in...
"I do" is a statement that crowns weddings, representing a pledge and a covenant between God and the couple. Though only two words, it seals a promise that fulfills God's purpose for humanity in marriage. Today, we reflect on sealing a promise to fulfill God's purpose for our lives—hence the title, 'Dear God, "I do."' I n the Bible there was a young man named Jeremiah. God's word and plan for his life were revealed to him while he was still young. His initial response to God was not "I do"; instead, he made excuses for why he could not fulfill what God was asking of him.

From this scripture, we can identify seven reasons why we must not underestimate ourselves but instead respond to God's call to fulfill His purpose for our lives. Let's read Jeremiah 1:4-10,...
COMBATING NEGATIVE THOUGHTS WITH THE WORD OF GOD. Sometimes, when we receive instructions from God, the devil begins to implant negative thoughts into our minds to discourage us from doing it. The Lord gave me a secret weapon to combat those thoughts. We can use the following scriptures to pray against them. Zechariah 3:1-2 NKJV [1] Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to oppose him. [2] And the Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?” Psalms 28:7 NKJV [7] The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him. Isaiah 54:17 NKJV [17] No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the herit...
