FEBRUARY was the month of celebrations: Black history, Presidents’ Day, Valentine’s Day, American Heart Health Awareness, and possibly others. We trust the victory of God, in all the areas of your life, was available to you, and that you found a reason to celebrate every day of the shortest month of the year. Fewer days does not equate to less impact.
In 2026, we discern God desires His people to experience a Kingdom Connection by extending us “Life with Purpose.” Through ove, fellowship, and unity, we receive the eternal promise of our sovereign God. The Apostle Paul, in 1 Corinthians 12, encourages us to live in control. A good question to ask ourselves is…how do Ido that? One answer is found in Matthew 6:33, “seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all the things you need will be added to you,” (paraphrased), such as control, by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Each believer makes a unique contribution to the Kingdom and is urged to utilize the gifts God has given you to serve others. Our uniqueness is to bring greater glory as we work in unity. For a healthy Body of Christ, we are encouraged in chapter 12 to balance, understanding that all of humanity is not the same, yet is designed to work collaboratively, demonstrating the maturity of who we are in the use of the Lord.
For those who have walked closely with the Lord, you are familiar with the wisdom and insight God provides to us. When God speaks, we are “Inspired to Reach Higher” based on 1 Corinthians 2: 6-9. Once again, the writings of the Apostle Paul highlighted the preparedness given to those who love God. Now is not the time to be ‘iffy’ or inconsistent. God does not want us living beneath our spiritual promises. Black History Month helps us to remember where we have come from and how far we have yet to go for the cause of equality. To go higher, we must look beyond our current level so we may obtain a higher level where things look and are better. God declared us to be the authority in the earth, for His namesake and His pleasure—to take us higher. The immature (in Christ) delight in pulling people down, while the mature take delight in lifting people up. God called us to speak life, a mature Christian knows that others are worth it. When we are mature, God will reveal the hidden mysteries, so when the time comes, you can handle whatever is coming, proving how much God loves us.
Speaking of love… love is not arrogant, unforgiving, or envious; love is patient and kind! In a culture where love is often misunderstood, misrepresented, and miss-handled, we must know the true signs and responsibilities of love. “How Deep is Your Love,” is the sermon that ripped the Band-Aid off some broken hearts who believed they could receive love but did not love themselves. This text breathed fresh power to enhance our knowledge that God‘s people are gifted to love because of the love of Jesus Christ. And agape love is the kind of love God has for us; it’s unconditional, freely given, and covers a multitude of faults. I pray this message challenged all of us to love deeper every day.
Approach… Perspective. Have you ever been looking for something and could not find it, and somehow thought when you looked again in that same area that you would find it the next time? More than likely if it wasn’t there before, it won’t be there later. In the sermon titled, “You Can Adapt,” the anointing destroyed the yolk of inflexibility, pride, and impatience when some in the Corinthian Church, because of their stature, thought they were better than others they perceived as beneath them. What does that say to us today? Is it possible that someone in a lowly position can be used by God? Of course it is! Paul wrote to encourage the Corinthian church not to think so highly of themselves and to embrace all who seek God’s grace and the freedom that is theirs to enjoy in Christ Jesus. Jesus came for every one of every stature who needs forgiveness. Paul said to see others as God sees them. They were to divert attention from themselves and see others through God’s perspective. Like Paul, it is my promise to God to help anyone He sends my way who desires to walk with God and receive Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. So, climb down from your high horses, discomforts, and inconveniences, and you can adapt too.
As the month of celebrations ended, Lenten Season was upon us. Pray and believe with me that the days leading to our Resurrection Celebration will be reflective in repentance, prayer, and caring for those in need. Victory of the Cross of Christ, Jesus is coming back soon…are we prepared?
