91 Days of Victory – Day 63 (2026/05/01)

 


I have to quote this scripture again, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). As I am reading Psalm 63 today and I think about the challenges I face, and you know when we face battles we tend to think about our past and the mistakes, we made. Those forgotten and those that still haunts us today. I have made many mistakes and I still do. Paul writes that no one is good not even one and Jesus also said that no one is good, but we are made right by the sacrifice Jesus made for us. We can never defeat sin, so Jesus did it for us. Therefore, be cheerful for Jesus has already overcome the world. Now in verse 8 David writes, “I cling to you; your strong right hand holds me securely”. If I may take my kids as an example. When they were little and my daughter still is, they would run to you when they are afraid or hurt and they would cling to you, knowing that you will do something about their fear or their hurt. They instinctively seek out their parents for help when they have to deal with something that is too much for them at that age. Now that instinct is supported by love and authority, because you love your kids and instinctively you are wired to protect them. Now I am getting to something, stay with me. Jesus said in Matthew 7, “How much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him”. How much more does your Father know what you need, so if He created us to instinctively protect our children and they instinctively run to us when in danger or in need, then when David says I cling to the Father (like a child for we are His children) then He will protect us by His strong right hand (His power and authority) and then all things will work out for good because the reason we cling to Him is because we love Him and when we delight in Him, He will make it all come to pass. In other words when we seek Him (cling) above all else everything else will be added (given or receive). So, my dear friend, come with me today as we cling to the Father and be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 62 (2026/04/30)

 


My victory and honour come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me. Today I want to remind you that seeking God and placing Him first in your life should always be a priority. Why do we fail and why do we fall, because for a moment we lose sight of that. The very fear of God, the respect we should have for Him becomes a distant thought and we step into the trap before us. The only way the enemy will not be able to get to you is when God is your refuge. The very rock you stand on. How do we accomplish this? We must consistently seek God above all else and we should seek to obey His commands and walk the path set before us. Why are we attacked, because we become a thorn in the side of the enemy and he does not like it. When we align ourselves with the Word and we follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the enemy will come with every cunning trick in the book, and he will throw at you anything that he can get. James writes in chapter 4 – “Resist the devil and he will flee from you”. True resistance is impossible without first surrendering to God's will and authority. "Resist" comes from the Greek word anthistemi, meaning to "stand against" or oppose, implying an active, aggressive stand rather than a passive one. When a believer stands firm in faith and acts on God’s authority, the devil will "flee" - meaning to run away or retreat. Resistance involves using Scripture and faith to fight against the devil’s lies and temptations, similar to what Jesus did in the wilderness. That brings me back to Psalm 62 verse 12, “Surely you repay all people according to what they have done”. It simply states that God is both loving and just and it reminds us to trust in His judgements and not in man or man’s wealth. That is why I say as for me and my house, we will follow God. My friend, truly seek God and let Him be your refuge and your rock. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 61 (2026/04/29)


From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety, for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me. Let me live forever in your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of your wings! (Psalm 61:2-4). Wherever you find yourself today, God is aware of your challenges and the obstacles you face. I may be good at falling down and doing the wrong thing, making mistakes, taking the wrong direction and listening to the wrong voice, but God is good at never giving up and never leaving you. He is good at forgiveness, and He is good at washing away our hurt and sorrow. He is good at love and His love is unconditional. He is good at understanding and listening and He is really good at changing circumstances and creating a way out when you face a dilemma. He is good and He is good all the time. He loves me as I am and even when I can’t He still loves me as I am. So, I will stand up each day no matter what comes my way or what I have to face and even when I am overwhelmed, I will remain standing for He is my rock and my refuge where I seek help and my answers. He is the place of safety where nothing and no one can remove me. I am safe in His hands and under His wings. I am more because He is my God and even when I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will walk with confidence and without fear. I may see thousands fall beside me and thousands more before me, yet I will not be afraid nor will I give up. I may fail today but with Him all things are possible. I may struggle today but His plans for me is of hope and a future. I may be under attack, but the swords of my enemy will pierce their own heart. I may seem poor but the meek shall inherit the earth. I may seem broken, but Jesus came for the broken and hurt. I may be a little unstable but with Him I am strong and powerful, and I will be cheerful all day for He already overcome this world. I may lose my life for Him, but I gain heaven. Have an awesome day, my friend.

91 Days of Victory – Day 60 (2026/04/28)

 


I want to remind you of the words of Jesus in John 14: “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father”. Now here in Psalm 60 we see “With God’s help we will do mighty things, for he will trample down our foes”. In simplicity it boils down to the fact that we have the same power that rose Jesus from the dead in us which is the same power He used when He was here on earth to do great things. That is why He said that they should believe the Father is in Him and He is in the Father, hence the works He did. Now comes the important part: “You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!”. Then comes the part you should not mis – “If you love me, obey my commandments”. Jesus sends the Holy Spirit who leads us in all truth, and He will teach us everything and reminds us of everything that Jesus taught. That is why an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit is vital to our survival and to be obedient to the commandments Jesus gave. The Holy Spirit leads us and guides us, and He works through us so that we can do the things Jesus did and more. Can you see how important it is that we live in a humble and obedient relationship with Him. My fear friend, how do we do that. Again, it is simple, read the Word, spend time in the Word of God, meditate over it and ask the Holy Spirit to open the Word and speak to you. This is the way to faith and faith is the way to victory and the way to the Kingdom of heaven. Have an awesome day, my friend. He who is in you are far greater than he who is in the world. Seek Him above all else.

91 Days of Victory – Day 59 (2026/04/27)

 


But as for me, I will sing about your power. Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love. For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress. Today I just want to bring all the glory and all the praise to our Lord and God who so lovingly took all our sin to the cross and by His stripes we are healed. In this world we can try and satisfy our needs through material and carnal solutions, but we will never have peace and content until we put Jesus first and allow the Holy Spirit to be our comforter and our guide. Worldy things are a bottomless pit that will never satisfy but in God we find true peace and fulfilment and when He is first, we will also have all else we need. The only difference is that those material and carnal things will not dominate us because God is our priority and we put Him first and then He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. Therefore, we should seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to us.  Now remember there is a first in this scripture and then a second. First seek the kingdom (give God first place in your daily schedule, career, and family) then all these things (all that we need) will be added. This is not just a nice scripture, it is a do with a result (a promise). Put God first and the rest is added. My dear friend, that is why we should sing and rejoice of His power and His unfailing love for when God is for us who can be against us and with Him (first) all things are possible. So, come with me today as we put God first in everything we do, and you will see the reward. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 58 (2026/04/26)

 


I guess we all feel at a stage that God seems distant and that it feels as if He is not hearing us or maybe He is ignoring us or even we are not worthy of His help. How often do our circumstances dictate our feelings and our worth in our own minds. My dear friend I am here to tell you today (and I am speaking to myself also) that God is not a distant God, He is a present God. He is not a selective God, He gave His Son Jesus Christ for all. He is not a careless God, He is a patient God for me and you and our enemies. He is not an unjust God, He loves justice and He will not allow the wicked to prevail. He is not blind to your problems or your challenges, He is in the midst of it giving you strength to overcome them and guidance to follow His Word and remain faithful in His Word and to trust Him in the process. That is why we can say this in faith and in trust: Then at last everyone will say, “There truly is a reward for those who live for God; surely there is a God who judges justly here on earth.” My dear friend, do not allow the lies of the enemy to hinder your progress and to create distance between you and God, instead run towards God and seek Him above all else. Seek His Word and His voice and block out the enemy and his lies. God will hear from heaven, and He will save you from your challenges. He will restore you and reconcile you. He will give you peace and He will prepare a table (of victory) in the presence of your enemies. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 57 (2026/04/25)

 


Psalm 57 is an amazing Psalm. David wrote this when he was hiding from Saul in a cave. Now we all have a cave where we hide out. Maybe it is in your mind or the mall or the gym or a park that you like to go to or maybe it is just a walk or a drive away from the things that kind of haunt you. David writes that he cried out to the Lord and He will send help from heaven to disgrace those who hound him. What stands out in this Psalm is something we have been discussing for the last few weeks. He writes, “My heart is confident in you, O God; my heart is confident. No wonder I can sing your praises!”. This is exactly what we have been saying because in the midst of our trials we should always sing praises to the Lord and when we speak, we should always say it shall be well and finally thank God for His help. David goes further and says that he is confident and that is why he can sing praises. In other word he knows it will be well and he knows that the one in him is far greater than the one who comes against him. Just as he stood confident before Goliath, he now stands confident as Saul tries to kill him. His confidence is not in his own self but in the power and grace of God. In the Word of God and in His promises. David knows that he is God’s anointed one and that Saul will not prevail just as you must remember you are God’s anointed one and nothing will prevail and no weapon formed against you shall prosper. My dear friend, come with me today and let us turn our worries and fear and hurt and pain and trouble into confidence in the Lord God almighty, who will hear from heaven and send help to rescue you. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 56 (2026/04/24)


But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. Sometimes we are working in a process, and it all seems to be going well, and your timelines and planning is all working out, but right there when you expect a bit of good news the opposite happens. Another unforeseen snag in the process and sometimes this can set you back. In verse 7 David writes “Don’t let them get away with their wickedness; in your anger, O God, bring them down”, honestly, I am feeling much the same. You know how sometimes you really think that this can now come to an end and then a small thing now pushes this forward and what has been frustrating will now take even longer. So, when David writes do not let them get away you begin to think will this ever happen and will this wickedness be stopped. We get negative and a whole bunch of negative thoughts start to surface. Now I need you to hear this in verse 9 – “My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help. This I know: God is on my side!”. Important phrase – THIS I KNOW. I know that God is for me and not against me, I know that I can do all things through Jesus who strengthens me, I know that I have authority over the enemy, I know that God will answer me, I know that His thoughts are to give me hope, I know that ALL things will work out for good and I know God is on my side. I know what God’s promise is and I know He said we will have victory and so “I praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me?”. As for me and my house, we will follow God, and I will stand on His promises, and I will see it all come to pass for I delight in my Lord, and I seek Him above all else. Have an awesome day, my friend and never allow negativity to enter into you mind and out your mouth but instead know ALL THINGS WILL WORK OUT FOR GOOD.

91 Days of Victory – Day 55 (2026/04/23)


Please listen and answer me, for I am overwhelmed by my troubles. When you start the Psalm, you can see how David is afflicted by his circumstances and the betrayal of those close to him. Our theme mainly this week is gratitude and living with a grateful attitude and recognising the things in our lives that we normally miss. Now looking at this verse I can relate so much to it and how David is tormented by the lies and deceit and wickedness of people close to him. Loving someone and to find out they are deceitful and they plan your demise can be a rude awakening. You know David writes in verse 6 “Oh, that I had wings like a dove; then I would fly away and rest! I would fly far away to the quiet of the wilderness”. I can’t tell you how many times this year I felt exactly like that. If I had wings, I would just fly away and go somewhere like a wilderness and just get away from all this nonsense. But that is not what I want you to see here, I want you to see his heart when he says, “But I will call on God, and the LORD will rescue me”. This is where we should run to. This is where we will find our rest and our peace. This is where we will find the answers and this is where we will see victory over all the things that so unexpectantly enters into our lives. This is where we find strength and this is where we find hope and a future. My dear friend, I wish I could say a word and all your troubles will vanish and all your pain and hurt will be gone. What I can do is to tell you how to overcome them and how to defeat them and how to find true healing and true restoration. In a grateful heart we are humbled again and we open our souls to God and His amazing love. Romans 8 Paul writes “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them”. All things not some things but all things will work out for good. I can honestly testify to this because it is truly so. My dear friend, God’s thoughts about you are like the sand of the ocean, impossible to comprehend and those thoughts are of peace to give you a future and a hope. Know it and believe it. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 54 (2026/04/22)


But God is my helper. The Lord keeps me alive! I think in this one verse lies a multitude of things to consider. Let’s start with who is God. God is the creator of all and the one who helps us and blesses us with our health and what we all so easily take granted for is another day added to our lives. Another day to glorify His name despite our battles and our challenges. Another day to draw nearer to God and to live expectant of His promises. I wrote to you about the “It shall be well” principal and in what we say and what we believe we become. If we see only the negative in our lives our attitudes will reflect that. I am saying today that we must stop our natural way of negativity and complaining and turn our attitude to gratitude. Pastor At spoke so nicely about this and he reminded us of the ten leapers that Jesus healed yet not made well and one returned and fell to His feet and thanked Him. He was healed and fully restored, which means the deformities of his sickness was also removed. It is in our humble and gratitude hearts that we are not only healed but fully transformed. Jesus came to give us life, but we must also remember where we were and what we are saved from. His cross did not just take away our sin, but it changed our entire course and our direction. We are turned from eternal pain and death to eternal life with Him. Take a moment and just thank Him for your salvation and the promise that lies in that. My dear friend, I challenge you to live a life that shows gratitude and I can promise you, you will see God’s favour and blessings like never before. I can testify to this because I start all my mornings with thanksgiving and I praise Him for who He is and what He is doing in my life. It is worth it; it will truly be well with you. Have an awesome day.
