January 9 Hebrews 3:13 You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. It’s a blessing to have people in your life. It’s a greater blessing to be able to influence those in your life. As Christians we need to get to a place where we are 1. unapologetic about our faith and stance in Christ and 2. What we do and don’t accept. Whether we like it or not we have the
January 1 Are you ready for the day of the Lord? This is one of the many questions that we often lock up in the very back of our minds because we do not want to accept the reality of our unpreparedness.

January 4 1 Thessalonians 5:19 “19 Do not quench the Spirit.” Whether we accept it or not the power to quench the Spirit is in our hands. We have all it takes to ensure that the Spirit of God within us is not quenched, but rather we ourselves quench the Spirit and blame it on the devil. The devil cannot make us do anything unless we relinquish that power to him. The sins we entangle ourselves with are the things that quench the Spirit in us. Secondly, living an unholy life
January 5 We all love to make excuses. Excuses for why we are not where we wish to be in life. Excuses for why we did or did not do what we said we would or excuses for why things are the way they are even as we speak. What we fail to realize is that excuses keep us down.
