God wants you to grow. Don't settle for where you are right now. There is so much you can do in your life. God is waiting for you to SPEAK faith and ACT faith. God didn't create you so that you can live in fear and anxiety. Jer. 29:11 [NIV]For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.God's Word says that he plans to prosper you. But He needs you to first believe in yourself. He needs you to believe in Him and His Word. And most importantly, He needs you to BUILD YOUR CAPACITY!Catch the replay of the sermon 'Building Capacity Into Sonship' on our YouTube channel.www.jcckikuyu.co.ke

1 Peter 5:9 [NIV]Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Luke 11:1And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.Prayer is not sending God on you errands, or trying to get God to rubberstamp your plans. Prayer is laying down your will for God's will. Get to learn more on the topic of Prayer with Pastor Bob Wanjau through this teaching.

Acts 1:8But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.This portion of scripture says that you shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you. Now, as a new creation, you already have the Holy Ghost living inside of you.1 Corinthians 6:19know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?Therefore, this means that you ALREADY have the power of God upon you! You don't need to pray to receive power; it is already inside of you! Decree it, "I have the power of God inside of me!"#power #holyspirit

"You don't tell God what to do. God tells you what to do."~Pastor BobGod is always speaking, but we need to take time to listen to him. Many are the times that we begin listening to God well then we grow impatient and start to look for our own ways of doing things.Purpose to learn God's plan for your life and to stick to it. Take time to listen to God in the secret place. Don't be in a hurry. He is always speaking and He wants to speak to you; even today.Have a blessed week and enjoy this teaching from Pastor Bob Wanjau.

Romans 1:11For I long to visit you so I can bring you some spiritual gift that will help you grow strong in the Lord.What a blessed time it was today. Bodily pains and aches were healed.

We know that your lives will never be the same again.Have a prayed up, fruitful week!

This Easter Sunday, join us as we revisit the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. We shall answer questions like:What did Jesus achieve by dying on the Cross for us?To what extent was His punishment?What are some of the prophecies in the Old Testament that predicted His death and suffering?Find the video of this teaching on our YouTube page, @jcckikuyu www.jcckikuyu.co.ke

he New birth is not a change of habit! Though it will produce a change of habit! It "produces" a New creature! The New man, born of the Spirit! The new creature is supernaturally known, by the revelation which is found in the Word! It's a new man, born of the Spirit. It's not a reformation of the sinner, it's the birth of a saint. It's the union of God and man, enacted by the Spirit's indwelling! It's eternal life now given, it's God's eternal word bringing forth! The New birth is not about a "pardoned" sinner, it's about a new creature, sins forgiven, righteousness imputed! God now has sons, by the fact of Christ's resurrection, sons brought into glory, when Christ was born from death to life - in the resurrection. Death has got nothing on us, because Christ being raised dieth no more, even so, because we are IN CHRIST, all of Christ's accomplishment at resurrection are now ours! We are sons - IN CHRIST Christ died - We died with HimHe was buried - We were buried with Him He was raised - We were raised with Him He is seated today and we are seated with Him! This is the new creature! The New creature is perfectly identified in the Saviour's work! Christ's accomplishment at resurrection are all ours today! He gave Him (Christ) to be head over all things to the church, which is His body! Christ's accomplishment are towards the church - the family of the New Creature, the Father's family! This revelation when fully seen will give rise to men who walk in victory, who walk in power and who walk in love! Today, you and I, having believed the gospel are IN HIS WORK! Now and always ...Blessed!

1 Timothy 2:4 KJV Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.The word KNOWLEDGE here is the Greek word is EPIGNOSIS which means accurate, precise definite knowledge... God not only wants you saved, but for you to come to the EPIGNOSIS of the truth.What is the truth?Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world!More?Catch the replay of today's sermon on our YouTube or Spotify channel.www.jcckikuyu.co.ke

Today, we started a sermon series on The Saviour, The Saved and His Salvation. The theme of the entire Bible is Salvation through a Saviour. The Saviour is Jesus and we should see Him in all the 66 books of the Bible.Join us next Sunday as we continue to build on this teaching and learn more about our Saviour.#salvation

The moment you got born again, you stepped into a position of AUTHORITY.Ephesians 1:20-21Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:YOU are seated together with Christ in the heavenly places! Far above all principalities and rule of this world! So as a believer, you have POWER. The power of God is in you, but you need to first KNOW that you have the power of God. How do you get to know? by reading the Word of God.Ephesians 1:18The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may KNOW what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,This week, take some time and pray this scripture. May God open the eyes of your understanding as you continue to walk with Him in Jesus' name.#prayer

Acts 20:32So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.GOD IS BUILDING YOU!God is building your future, God is building your assignment, God is building your marriage, God is building your business.

Exodus 3:1-3Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.”The backside of the desert refers to a place of clarity of assignment, a place of hardship and a place of divine waiting. It is in the backside of the desert that Moses was called by God via the burning bush experience. It was while Jesus was in the wilderness that He conquered the temptations of the Enemy.Do you feel like you're in a place of hardship? Do you feel like God is taking His time to answer your prayers? Listen to this message by Pastor Cathy Wanjau and be encouraged!

Man, if you're going to be effective at finishing what God has given you to do, whatever it is. Whether it's business, whether it's raising a child, whether it's starting a company, whether it's writing a book, or whatever it is. And it's a major project. You have to be prepared, number one, to finish in phases.You attack a big project by phases. David went down there to whip Goliath. He went down there to kill him, but he didn't start out by killing him. He had to confront him, he had to attack him, and then he had to assassinate him. He knocked him down before he knocked him out. You have to finish in phases. It takes phases. To whom much is given, much is required. You have to finish in phases. Somebody say, "I'm gonna finish in phases".

SELF-SABOTAGE THROUGH UNFINISHED PROJECTSToday we learnt how unfinished projects can affect our energy, time and even spiritual walk. It is prudent to enquire with God before you begin a project. The Christian man or woman is meant to be led by God in all the spheres of life. That includes matters such as marriage, finances, business and service.Want to know more on how to avoid self-sabotage? Watch the video of today's sermon on our Youtube channel.#sabotage

THE SHACKLES OF SABOTAGE ARE BROKEN!John 16:33 [KJV]These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but BE OF GOOD CHEER; I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD.Jesus has overcome the world, and through Him, we have also overcome the world! There is no delay in our camp, no form of sabotage will prosper against us, the devices of the enemy are defeated in Jesus' name!"We don't pray for victory; we pray from a place of victory."~Pastor BobFor more information about us, kindly visit our website www.jcckikuyu.co.ke#prayer #sabotage

Sabotage is the deliberate act of obstructing someone or something from progress. Sabotage is spiritual. It doesn't just happen.

Isaiah 48:17 [KJV]Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.18. O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! Then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:19. Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.God is always speaking but are we listening to his voice? How can we distinguish His voice from other voices?How do we know if it's the flesh or the Spirit leading?Get to learn more about the leading of the Spirit through listening to this message.

1 Chronicles 4:9-10[9]Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.”[10]And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested.What happens when the hand of God is with you?1. He keeps you from evil.2. You will not cause pain.3. God will enlarge your territory.Want to know more about the prayer of Jabez. Kindly listen to this message by Pastor Bob Wanjau.

1 Chronicles 4:9 - 1 [NKJV] Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.” 10. And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested.. Today we examined the Prayer of Jabez in the LIGHT of the Gospel. What can we learn from it? How can we model it in our Christian faith? Listen to this sermon and get to know more about the prayer of Jabez.

1 Corinthians 14:2 [NKJV] For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. When we pray in tongues, we speak mysteries in the Spirit. This weekend we have spent much time praying in the Spirit. It is never in vain. One day we shall reap the harvest of the time we have spent in prayer. Romans 12:11-13 [NKJV] 11not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, patient[c] in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given[d] to hospitality.

John 14:16 [NKJV] And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever The word 'another' in this verse is the Greek word 'parakletos' which means 'another OF THE SAME KIND'. So Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the SAME SPIRIT; they are the SAME PERSON. The only difference is that Jesus while He was on earth, was restricted to his physical body, therefore he could only preach the Gospel in Israel. But now the Holy Spirit, since He is Spirit, is not restricted to one geographical location; He can be everywhere at the same time, and that means He can preach the Gospel to everyone everywhere!

2 Chronicles 26:14-15 [NIV]Uzziah provided shields, spears, helmets, coats of armor, bows and slingstones for the entire army. In Jerusalem he made devices invented for use on the towers and on the corner defenses so that soldiers could shoot arrows and hurl large stones from the walls. His fame spread far and wide, for he was greatly helped until he became powerful.We are mightily helped of God! This is our year of supernatural intervention. We decree that the hand of God is upon our lives, to make our ways prosperous, to restore what we have lost, to grant us favour, to grant us increase! We are marvelously helped of God. Our lives shall be a testimony. It shall be said of us as it was said of king Uzziah, that God greatly helped us in the year 2025 and we became POWERFUL by the hand of God.Start you year with a spirit-filled message on 'Marvelously Helped' by our very own, Pastor Bob Wanjau.

Psalms 100:4 [NIV]Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.Giving thanks to God is scriptural. It is God's will for us to give thanks to Him at all times and in every season of your life. One other reason why we should give thanks to God is that it opens the door to the miraculous.

"There is nothing like a faithful, LAZY person." ~Pastor Bob Proverbs 10:4 [NKJV] "He who has a slack hand becomes poor, But the hand of the diligent makes rich." The Word of God in the book of Proverbs repeatedly instructs us in the book of Proverbs to be diligent in our places of work. Laziness does not glorify God; it only leads to poverty and lack. Whereas diligence surely leads to riches. So do you want your needs to be met? Or a job promotion? Then choose to be faithful and diligent in your place of work and you will surely see the hand of the Lord increase and multiply your finances.

Pr. 20:6 [KJV]Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?God is looking for faithful servants. What is a servant? A servant is one that performs duties for a person or a master. God has called you to serve others; this is how He represents Himself to the world. So, any place that you are called to work is a opportunity for you to represent God. What does it mean to be faithful? A faithful person is one who is loyal and steadfast. Faithfulness and loyalty has suffering, but in the end it bears a reward and grants us elevation.For more information about us, visit our website:www.jcckikuyu.co.ke#faithful #servant #proverbs

2 Samuel 21:17 [AMP]But Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to David's aid, and struck and killed the Philistine. Then David's men swore to him, “You shall not go out again with us to battle, so that you do not extinguish the lamp of Israel.”Abishai came to David's rescue when David was at his weakest point. One of the qualities of an Abishai Generation is that they are close enough to their king so that they can come to their rescue. As we serve the Lord, let us purpose to be close to our leaders and pastors. To learn more about The Abishai Generation, tune in to this sermon and be blessed!

Retaining God's Word in your heart is all about meditation. Meditation is seeing the possibility of practicability of God's Word in your life. So when we meditate on the Word of God, we release its power over our lives. Take some time this week and meditate on the Word of God. Take a scripture and ponder on it, read it over and over again until it becomes a part of you. That is how you release the power of God's Word over your life. #scripture #wordofGod #meditation

John 3:3-5 [KJV]3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.If we read this portion of scripture in the Greek lexicon, we find out that verse 5 actually says 'Except a man be born of water WHICH IS the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.' What does this mean? It means that being born again is by the Spirit of God. It is not by being baptised in water that we become born again but when we allow Jesus into our hearts, that we truly become born again. Then the Spirit of God can dwell in our bodies and we have the assurance of entering the kingdom of God.

Eph 3:14-17 14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; The Holy Spirit prepares the way for our Lord Jesus to dwell in our hearts. It is through this strength that we can contain the power of Christ in our mortal bodies. Want to learn more about The Unsearchable riches of Christ? Listen to this sermon and be blessed.

There are things that money can't buy; like the Glory of God, the Truth of God, the Wisdom of God, the Life of God, and the Love of God. These are some of the things the Word of God refers to as the 'unsearchable riches of Christ'. Such riches cannot be measured financially, they are INVALUEBLE! And what's even better is that God has given us these riches FREELY as a gift!Want to hear more about the Unsearchable Riches of Christ?

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. The truth is not a statement or confession. The truth is Jesus Christ. John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Ephesians 4:13-14 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive Spiritual growth comes by KNOWLEDGE; knowledge of what? Knowledge of the truth. From the above scriptures, we've proven that Jesus is the truth. Therefore, we can say that when you grow in the knowledge of Jesus and what He did for you, you can no longer be tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine. More? Listen to this sermon on the Knowledge of The Truth.

phesians 4:13 TPT These grace ministries will function until we all attain oneness into the faith, until we all experience the fullness of what it means to know the Son of God, and finally we become one into a perfect man with the full dimensions of spiritual maturity and fully developed into the abundance of Christ. 14.⁠ ⁠And then our immaturity will end! And we will not be easily shaken by trouble, nor led astray by novel teachings or by the false doctrines of deceivers who teach clever lies.Knowledge is everything for the New Man in Christ's MIND…It matters what he feeds…It matters what he meditates upon…God's creative ability is inherent in the New Man's Spirit…Feed the right content and the miraculous, the supernatural becomes the natural…More?

'If you do no renew your mind, you will think God is not for you.' ~Pst. Bob You need to continuously renew your mind for your walk with God to be effective. In today's sermon, we discuss the importance of walking with God everyday and using His Word to reshape and reform your mind. 2 Corinthians 3:18But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Have you ever heard someone talk about the power of thought? Our mind has a remarkable influence over us. What is on our minds influences the way that we act. Reflect on this for a moment: When something makes us angry, the more we think about it, the angrier we get. When we are sad, it can seem like our mind is a dark room full of sad thoughts. Anyway, our thoughts influence us a lot.The LORD has been impressing in our hearts the battles of the mind that have increased exponentially over the last few months. Today we shall begin a short series on understanding the mind. Welcome and share this sermon with someone who you think needs to hear it.

Jonah is unique among the books of the prophets, which are typically collections of God's words spoken through a prophet. This book doesn't really focus on the words of a prophet; rather, it's a subversive story about a prophet who resents his God for loving his enemies.The prophet Jonah appears only one other time in the Old Testament, during the reign of one of Israel's worst kings, Jeroboam II. Jonah prophesied in his favor, promising that he would win a battle and regain territory on Israel's northern border (2 Kgs. 14:23-25) Now, it's important to know that the prophet Amos confronted Jeroboam II and that, through him, God specifically reversed Jonah's prophecy (Amos 6:13) You who rejoice in Lodebar, And say, “Have we not by our own strength taken Karnaim for ourselves?” 14“For behold, I am going to raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel,” declares the Lord God of hosts, “And they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath To the brook of the Arabah.”). Amos promised that Jeroboam II would lose those same territories because of his sin. So before Jonah's story even begins, we're already a bit suspicious of this character.More on this? Tune in and listen to this sermon. #advancingbyprayer#leadingofthespirit#fruitfulness2024

Ezekiel 22:30 NKJV So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one. God is looking for a man to stand in the gap. He is looking for an intercessor; a prayer warrior who will stand up for their generation, their family, their relatives and their friends! Are you going to be that man, that woman who won't settle until they come to see the will of God come to pass in their lives and in the lives of those around them!

The human heart, in its natural condition, is evil, treacherous and deceitful. Jeremiah 17:9 says, “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?” In other words, the Fall has affected us at the deepest level; our mind, emotions and desires have been tainted by sin—and we are blind to just how pervasive the problem is. We may not understand our own hearts, but God does. He “knows the secrets of the heart” (Psalm 44:21; see also 1 Corinthians 14:25). Jesus “knew all men, and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man” (John 2:24-25). Based on His knowledge of the heart, God can judge righteously: “I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings” (Jeremiah 17:10). Jesus pointed out the fallen condition of our hearts in Mark 7:21-23: “From within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality.. More? Listen in to this sermon.

Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,    but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. To defer means to delay or postpone something. Therefore 'hope deferred' means hope delayed or hope postponed. From this explanation, we can now understand the context verse better. Therefore 'Hope deferred makes the hear sick' means that once you've put your hope on someone and they delay to make good on what they said, you will lose heart.

Matthew 26:22-23 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

Eph. 6:10-13 [NIV] Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

"The gifts of the Spirit are meant to benefit the entire body of Christ." ~Pastor Bob The gifts of the Spirit are not meant to be used to manipulate others, or to get our way. They are meant to be used with love. Whenever the Holy Spirit administers a gift to you, it is not for your own benefit; it is for the benefit of your fellow brethren.

1 Cor. 12:4-8 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.  But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, The gift of word of knowledge is an utterance gift. In the above scripture, we see that it is WORD of knowledge, not WORDS. What is a word? It is a FRAGMENT of a sentence. Therefore, a word of knowledge is a fragment of someone's knowledge. This gives us the definition of the gift of word of knowledge; it is a fragment of the knowledge of God.

1 Corinthians 12:1-3 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb[b] idols, however you were led. Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. Paul says that concerning spiritual gifts, he does not want us to be IGNORANT. It is our responsibility as Christians to not only learn about the gifts of the Holy Spirit but to also manifest and walk in them. Get to know more about the gifts of the Holy Spirit through this sermon by Pastor Bob Wanjau.

A bondservant is a slave who willingly decides to stay with his master even when he is free to leave. This means that the person will no longer be treated as a slave, but as an extension of the family. Eph. 6:5-7 Bondservants,[a] obey your earthly masters[b] with fear and trembling, with a sincere heart, as you would Christ, not by the way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man,  Paul says here that we are 'bondservants of Christ'. That means that our purpose is to carry out the will of Jesus in this world.

Ps. 84:1-7 How lovely is Your tabernacle, O Lord of hosts! My soul longs, yes, even faints For the courts of the Lord; My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. Even the sparrow has found a home, And the swallow a nest for herself, Where she may lay her young— Even Your altars, O Lord of hosts, My King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; They will still be praising You. Selah Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, Whose heart is set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of [c]Baca, They make it a spring; The rain also covers it with [d]pools. They go from strength to strength; Each one appears before God in Zion.

Acts 9:15-16 [NIV] But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel. I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.” 'There is no glory without sacrifice.' ~Min. Francis For us to fulfil our destinies, we need to undergo seasons of preparation. Preparation is often painful and stressful. This is necessary for us to be able to bear the fruits that God desires. We need to be willing to push through the suffering and fulfil God's plan for our lives.

A human being is consisted of three parts: mind, body and soul. We are naturally predisposed to follow our body's instincts. That is why things such as eating and sleeping are so easy to do. However, from the word of God, we learn that we are meant to be led by the Spirit of God. Rom. 8:14 [NKJV] For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Therefore, a large part of our work as Christians is training ourselves to listen to our spirit rather than our bodies.

Psalms 91:1-2 [NKJV] He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Divine protection is real. If God were to reveal to us how many things He has protected us from, our mouths would be filled with appreciation rather than complaining. The closer we are to God, the easier it is for Him to protect us because we will be sensitive to His leadings and nudging. Choose to be led by the Spirit of God, choose to be spiritual. That is the safest place to be as a Christian. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jcckikuyu/message
