i honestly can’t wrap my head around it. if God put this much order into the smallest parts of creation, what makes you think He would leave you completely on your own?
Today is Ascension Day, the day Jesus Christ ascended into Heaven, 40 days after the Resurrection.
For 40 days Jesus remained on Earth to prove he had truly risen from the dead. He appeared to his disciples—teaching them, strengthening their faith, and confirming that He had truly conquered death. Especially to Thomas who had to literally touch Jesus's glorified body to believe it 😂
Then, in their presence, in the Mount of Olives, after one final blessing He ascended.
As He did a cloud took Him away from their sight, echoing the same divine signs seen in Exodus and at the Transfiguration.
This moment was not a departure in the sense of loss, Jesus wasn't going away. He was going to the Father to reign in glory. He was enthroned at the right hand of the Father.
The Ascension makes something crystal clear: Christ reigns now. He rules over Heaven and Earth.
But most importantly we must remember: He will come again. Just like the angels said "He will return.
Until that day, the mission continues: to live as witnesses of what has been seen and received.
To spread the Faith to all corners of the world and to live according to His teachings.
"Whoever has my commandments and keeps them loves me. Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and reveal myself to them" - John 14,21
I am receiving death threats for preaching Jesus Christ. But I will not live in fear. God is with me, and He is my protector. No threat can silence the truth. No fear can overcome faith. I will keep speaking the name of Jesus Christ.
There is something powerful I noticed during my Bible study this morning while reading the story of Joshua and Caleb.
When Moses sent twelve men to spy the land of Canaan, they all saw the same thing. They saw the same cities, the same land, and the same giants — the sons of Anak.
But when they returned, their reports were completely different.
Ten of the spies came back with fear.
They said the cities were fortified, the people were strong, and the giants were too powerful. They concluded that the land could not be taken.
But Caleb and Joshua had a different confession.
They did not deny the presence of the giants. They saw them too. But their focus was not on the giants — their focus was on God.
They remembered what God had already done.
They remembered how God delivered them from Pharaoh in Egypt.
They remembered how the Red Sea opened before them.
They remembered how God provided food in the wilderness.
So instead of spreading fear, they spoke faith.
They said: “We are well able to go up and take the land.”
This story reveals something very important for us as believers today:
Two people can see the same problem but respond with completely different faith.
Many believers today are surrounded by giants.
Some people are facing the giant of rent and financial pressure.
Some are battling the giant of sickness.
Some are facing the giant of unemployment.
Some are struggling with depression, fear, or addiction.
And sometimes these giants can make people feel like going back to Egypt.
The children of Israel forgot how God fought for them. Because of fear, they even said it would have been better to return to Egypt — the same place where they were slaves.
That is what fear does.
Fear makes people forget God’s past faithfulness.
Sometimes rent pressure can make someone return to compromise.
Sometimes sickness can make someone lose faith in God.
Sometimes lack of employment can make someone return to sin or begin to doubt God.
But today I want to remind someone reading this:
Do not take your eyes off God because of the giants.
The size of the giant does not determine the outcome — the power of God does.
If God delivered you before, He can deliver you again.
If God opened a door before, He can open another one.
If God protected you yesterday, He can protect you today.
What matters is your confession and where your eyes are fixed.
Caleb and Joshua did not allow the giants to control their faith.
They chose to trust God even when the situation looked impossible.
And that should be our mindset as believers.
No matter what you are facing right now —
no matter how big the problem looks —
no matter how impossible the situation seems —
Do not allow the problem to become bigger than God in your mind.
Keep your eyes on Him.
Because the same God who fought for Israel is still fighting for His people today.
And when God fights for you, no giant can stand.
Stay in faith.
Stay in prayer.
Stay in obedience.
Your victory is not determined by the giants in front of you —
it is determined by the God who goes before you. 🙏🔥
God don’t like ugly, so it’s important to always be a good person. Genuine person. Always tell the truth. Don’t just receive but give as well. Trust me these things go a LONG WAY!!!!!
For the first time, five Black surgeons are leading the Trauma Service at Johns Hopkins Hospital, one of the most respected medical institutions in the U.S. 👏🏾💯
I love God so much! If I had a thousand tongues, it still wouldn’t be enough to thank Him for all that He’s done in my life! Sometimes I just sit in my bed and thank Him and cry out cause I know He hears me. God has been so good to me. Whew babyyyy && when I say that I ain’t talking bout nothing materialistic or tangible.
Just the calling and anointing and the favor that God has bestowed upon me. The things and people He kept me from. So many times God has saved my life without me knowing. To be of SOUND MIND. To be HEALTHY. To be covered by the blood of Jesus. To have family… a mama and a daddy. To be able to get up every single day knowing that I can live the life of my dreams because I’ve been obedient and it’s only going to keep getting better!
When I had nothingggggggg, I mean NOTHING…. I always had God. Ever since I was a little girl 7/8 years old, I would cry cry cry and just tell God I trusted Him and I knew he would give me a good life!!!
Whew!
I don’t think I’m untouchable, but I know that the MIGHTY GOD I serve don’t play about me.
Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future. As we mark 100 years of celebrating Black history, let’s honor the sacrifices of the leaders who came before us, and recommit ourselves to continuing their work.
