Radical generosity is heaven’s catalyst: when treasure leads, hearts follow, the devourer is rebuked, and windows of blessing swing wide—from Jesus’ “these ought ye to have done” to the restoration promised in Joel and the lessons of Corinth. Step into the tithe, silence lack, and watch God restore more than you release—start today and live blessed!

    Tithing isn’t fund-raising; it’s heart-shaping. The first tenth belongs to God, not because He needs money but because He longs for trust, holiness, and love from His people. When treasure is returned to its rightful Owner, windows of heaven open, the devourer is rebuked, and revival begins—personally and corporately.

    God is one, and He has revealed Himself to us. From the Old Testament to the New, the Bible declares His oneness: "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord" (Deuteronomy 6:4). Jesus Himself confirmed this truth, declaring, "Before Abraham was, I am" (John 8:58). Understanding the oneness of God isn’t just theology—it’s the foundation of salvation.

    A heart on fire for God can change lives, but only when that passion is guided by wisdom and submission to His order. David’s fervor for building the temple teaches us that even when we’re not the one to complete the work, our role in preparing the way matters deeply. Misguided zeal, like Saul’s and Jehu’s, can lead to destruction, but zeal aligned with God’s purpose builds the church and draws others to His presence.

    The Bible, a tapestry of divine revelation, was intricately woven in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic, languages chosen by God to carry His eternal truth. Studying these original tongues isn't just academic; it’s an act of devotion. Just as Greek unified the ancient world for the gospel’s spread, so can our pursuit of understanding unify us in faith and knowledge. Let’s honor God’s providence by exploring His Word, step by step, with hum...

    When life feels like a personal hell, remember this: there is hope in the darkest depths when you turn to God. Jonah cried out from the belly of despair, and God heard him. The burdens, the mistakes, the turmoil—they're not the end. But don’t wait until it’s too late. Respond to the call of repentance and seek the joy and restoration that only God can provide. Today is the day to rise from the depths, to reconnect with the One who ...

    Vision isn't just about setting goals; it’s about embracing God’s prophetic guidance for your life. True vision moves beyond personal ambition to fulfill a purpose bigger than ourselves. Whether in the pit, facing false accusations, or in a waiting season, vision propels us forward. Trust God's timing, keep your integrity, and remember—vision refines us, aligns us with His will, and equips us to serve others.

    God calls us to contend for the faith, embracing the treasure of the Holy Spirit and the process that transforms our lives. True faith is not a buffet of choices; it’s a complete surrender to God’s design—repentance, baptism in Jesus’ name, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost. The power of the gospel brings resurrection life, breaking chains and leading us into holiness. Start where the apostles started, walk in obedience, and expe...
