30 and grateful
Well, today is my 30th birthday and I have decided to stay home from work. As I stand here cooking up some birthday pancakes, I am so grateful that God has blessed me with another year and three decades of life. He has guided me, protected me, provided for me and loved me through my [...]
Take some time to SEE
Living in New York City requires a fast-paced multi-tasking spirit. Everyone is always rushing somewhere. Excuse me, EXCUSE ME! is all you hear as people rush past you nearly knocking you over to get to their destinations. Fast, fast, fast, rush, rush, rush, that is the mantra of today’s society. Because of this, we rarely [...]
My God Confidence
Ah! It’s morning. WAIT! OH NO! IT’S MOVING DAY. I scramble to gather together the last minute things as we wait for the moving company to arrive at 8am. An hour into it, I realize a sense of sadness has come over me. I ask God why do we have to move again. I feel [...]
Chameleon Christians
All through my childhood years, I have always heard that we ought to be set apart and not conformed to this world. Although I understood what my elders were trying to relay to me, I also felt that they used the verse to keep us from mingling with the other denominations (but that’s a matter [...]
Let Him be
Father, I want….., Lord, please bless me with….Jesus, when will you…. When it comes to requesting things from God, humans are experts especially Christians. We ask and ask and ASK. Then we quote scriptures and ask and ask and ASK some more. We commit to memory the verses “ask and it shall be given unto [...]
No Condemnation!
Have you ever seen a child who gets caught doing what they’re not suppose to be doing? If they have some form of consciousness, they will shiver in their boots and start crying right away without you ever having to say one word. My niece is notorious for this. The minute you say “Kailah”, she [...]
Fear? Nope not me!
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. – 2 Timothy 1:7 I work as a Project Specialist/Manager for a New York City technology firm. Part of my job requirement is to certify in a number if different industries and specialties. I have been [...]
Don’t you let go
Last night as I tried to think of a topic for this morning’s devotion, the statement Don’t you let go came to mind. I thought about it for a minute and was brought to the story of Jacob and the Angel. You see Jacob had stolen Esau’s birthright and now was in need of the [...]
I don’t want to know
I was watching Joel Olsteen last night and he was talking about having a critical spirit. In his sermon he shared the story of a wife who would call her husband over to the window everyday and point to the neighbors laundry. “Look how dingy her clothes are. Doesn’t she know how to do laundry? [...]
He is drawing nigh…
Last night two of my girlfriends and I linked up for some relaxation time. The guys were off to their Superbowl party, so the ladies had some girl time. We watched the movie “Precious” which is a definite must see. After the movie, we shared some of our experiences and how faithful God has been [...]
It could have been you
New York City is known for its skyscapers, yellow cabs, transit system and fast paced lifestyle. As a New Yorker, I can tell you that it is as beautiful as you’ve heard. Although I was born and raised here in “the big apple”, I still marvel at some of the sights sometimes. However, amidst the [...]
Bible Study – Feb. '10 – Apostle Paul
Hey Everyone! Great things are happening here at Break-Free Daily Devotions. In order to better equip ourselves to write the inspirational messages that we send to you every morning, Kenton and I have decided to dig deeper into the Word of God by spending 15-30 minutes every night studying a topic of choice. This month, [...]
The State of YOUR Union
A few days ago millions sat in front of their televisions to watch President Obama deliver the state of the union address. As he delivered his speech, you could clearly see the divide between the two parties. The democrats were giving him standing ovations on almost 90% of everything he said, while the republicans clearly [...]
Help my unbelief
One of our young ladies delivered a powerful message today. She focused her message on Mark 9 beginning from verse 17. In this story, we are told that a father brought a child who had a dumb (mute) and deaf spirit. The father brought him to Jesus for healing. Jesus asked him do you believe? [...]
God’s Morning
“Bye Mom, Bye Dad” I said. I rushed out of the house and into the cold as I headed to Utica Avenue to catch the bus. The funds are kind of low today so no dollar cab (really $2 now) for me. As I dipped my metrocard in the slot I greeted the bus driver [...]
It’s greater than feelings
“It’s 5pm! YES!” Another day of work ended and I was elated. It was a long and packed day but the good Lord brought me through it. I began packing up and realized that I had class tonight. Even worse, it’s my Theological Survey class which is a bit challenging. “But I’m soo tired. I [...]
