Today’s Bible Verse

I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

The Qualifier

Have you ever felt unqualified? Perhaps in your job, at your school, in your home, or even in your ministry? Everything in life tells us we must become qualified to attain a specific goal, a career path, or even a personal ambition. While there is nothing wrong with qualifications per se, we tend to live our lives believing that if we aren’t qualified by the worlds standards then we must therefore be unqualified. We can even be so quick to disqualify ourselves at different junctures of our lives. 

We then bring that mentality into our Christian lives. Yet, everything in Gods Kingdom is contrary to the world’s required standards. God doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called. It was at the Cross where we were qualified! 

Your life is not meant to meet the approval of humanity. Your life is meant to live surrendered, to live as a “dead man walking.” We are dead to self and alive in Christ. Be encouraged to live for Jesus and be that instrumental person that changes the generations around you. You are a person of influence! If your parents, teachers, peers or otherwise have said the opposite- those words are not of God. Words that go against His Word are meant to keep you in darkness and motionless. However, we are meant to MOVE! This is our run. This is our press. There is such an urgency inside that everywhere you go, you shine so brightly that people are drawn to you – that’s the light of the Father that dwells on the inside of you. (Pastor Annette Sagarnaga)

An Uncommon Life

You and I are the fire starters. We light the fire so that those that are in darkness can open their eyes and see Jesus! You are called to win the lost! You are called to make disciples! Plain and simply put, you are called! You are anointed to win the multitudes! You are anointed to multiply this generation for Jesus! 

Let our thirst for Jesus be unquenchable. Let our fire be ablaze and inextinguishable. Let our pursuit be undaunted. Let perseverance be our banner! 

Let this be our cry, our peace, and our comfort! Jesus, it’s all You! Holy Spirit, You lead! I will follow! When life is out of sorts, when life’s challenges come before us faster than a speeding bullet, my armor is the Word, my mouth declares His promises, and my heart is built up with faith! So let it come, it will NOT shake me! 

I move by faith. 

I walk by faith. 

I see by faith. 

I speak by faith. 

Oh that the Christ, Who dwells on the inside of me, may be glorified with the life that I live. It is not I but He who lives and dwells within me! 

Today’s Declaration

I declare that Christ that dwells on the inside of me is my qualifier. I declare that nothing and no one can ever disqualify me from being a minister of the Gospel. I am qualified by Jesus! I live and walk by faith! I am a faith walker! I am anointed to WIN! I am anointed to multiply! Thank You, Jesus!
