We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your^[a] faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully. Romans 12:6-8 (NIV) Thank you God for giving us many gifts that were ordained before the foundation of earth. You confirm our calling even when the world attempts to make us doubt our worth. Empower us to do all that you created us for. We look to you and position ourselves for all that you have in store. Help us to not stifle or hinder the gifts you’ve place inside. Help us to operate in all our gifts and not allow fear to cause us to hide. We declare today to be all that you’ve called us to be in this season. We will not doubt you or the gifts you’ve placed inside us for any reason. Whom you have called you created with unique specificity. We will walk in our purpose and calling unapologetically. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Back On Track

Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Acts 3;19 (NLT) Let the conviction in your heart cause you to change paths. You’re under God’s grace, not His wrath. Get up from your fall, repent and press ahead. Avoid condemnation from setting in by embracing God’s grace instead. Don’t wallow in regret, God heard your plea for forgiveness. He saw your sin and impact on your witness. Yet, He restores and places you back on the path that He has ordained for you. In spite of it all God still has work for you to do. All that you’ve proven is that you are human saved by His grace. Thankfully, when we repent our transgressions are erased. You are forgiven, loved and God has never left your side. Stop running in shame; there is no need to hide. Shame is the opposite of forgiveness wrapped in grace. Trust God as He restores you and puts you back in divine place. Change course, pick up your cross and follow Him. He’s with you and His power dwells within. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Never Alone

Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close. Psalm 27:10 (NLT) There will be many that walk away but God remains. He sees your hurt and heals your pain. He reaches the deepest places and restores all empty spaces. He draws you close to Him and fills you with love from deep within. He mends every broken piece of your heart and regulates your emotions. He is faithful and doesn’t waiver in HIs devotion. He loves you with an everlasting love. The kind of love that only comes from above. The love that can fill a room even when no one is there. A love that goes above and beyond to assure you that He cares and is near. A love that soothes your heart right from the start. A love that sets us apart. So, when you feel like no one loves you and you think you have no one by your side. Fact check the false narrative and believe that His love dwells inside. He will never forsake you. He loves you for who you are, through and through. You are not abandoned and are never alone. God sees you and calls you His own. Press Forward! ADaubon

Winning In Worship

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose. Acts 16:25-26 (NIV)) When we worship in the midst of our trials it is a witness of God’s keeping power. Our faith must shine through our darkest hour. In every circumstance praise God, as His divine purpose manifest. Stand firm in your faith and let God do the rest. Your praise will bring you and others out. So, lift your hands, sing praises, dance and shout. Set the atmosphere and prepare the way for a breakthrough. Your disposition of worship and praise gives space for God to work a miracle for and through you. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

For it is your divine presence that we need. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Heart Regulator

Deceit fills hearts that are plotting evil; joy fills hearts that are planning peace! Prov. 12:20 (NLT) Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Prov. 4:23 (NIV) God help us to truly love from the depths of our heart. Let all that we do be a witness that we’ve been set apart. Let us not take part in any schemes that are not rooted in authentic love and the edification of others. Help us to truly do what is best for one another. Give us discipline to not participate in meetings and discussions that are rooted in deceit. Give us an honest desire to bring life to others not defeat.

Be Still & Restored

He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. Psalm 23:2-3 (NLT) In our darkest hour God provides light. He knows what we are going through and is fully aware of our plight. We can place all our trust in Him, because He sees beyond our limited sight. He is faithfully watching over us by day and night. Our challenging seasons does not catch Him by surprise. Out of every storm – we shall arise. In the safety of His arms we can truly rest. Find shelter under El Elyon, our Most High God; for He knows what’s best. He is faithful to supply all our needs according to His divine will. Enter into HIs presence and be still. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Don’t Judge – Love

Don’t speak evil against each other, dear brothers and sisters. If you criticize and judge each other, then you are criticizing and judging God’s law. But your job is to obey the law, not to judge whether it applies to you. God alone, who gave the law, is the Judge. He alone has the power to save or to destroy. So, what right do you have to judge your neighbor? James 4:11-12 (NLT) Every time you’re tempted to judge someone, consider showing radical love instead. Let your thoughts and comments about others be spirit-led. No one is perfect and you don’t know their story. God is working on us all – so our lives will give Him glory. While you’re judging on the outside, God is looking at the heart. No matter what you may see, anyone can have a brand-new start. We are all in need of the Lord’s forgiveness and renewal every day. So, if you open your mouth towards anyone – let it be to pray. Set your intentions to uplift and never tear down with your words or deeds. Remember, everything that comes forth from a child of God is planting a seed. Let what you send forth have the intentions of bringing life, hope and love. Leave all judgement for our heavenly Father above. We are all clay in the potter’s hands and no one can be counted out. No matter what someone is dealing with, it’s never too late for God to bring them out. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Promise Keeper

Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Hebrews 10:23 (NLT) God help our faith to not fluctuate in times of uncertainty. Let us hold fast to all that you’ve predestined, as we wait patiently. It is in you that we place all our hope and trust. To overcome life vicissitudes in life unwavering faith in you is an absolute must. So, when the tides come and the foundation shakes, we stand on your word knowing you are never late. Help us to trust your timing without giving into the temptation to vacillate. You are a promise keeper and every word you speak comes true. We shall stand on your promises and walk by faith forevermore. We maintain the posture of expectation as we wait for what is in store. In Jesus name, amen. Press Forward! ADaubon
