The Roar of the King

In the wild, the male lion doesn’t just sleep under the sun—he roars. His roar is not random or for show. It can be heard up to five miles away, a thunderous warning to all enemies: stay away. When lionesses make a kill, the roar of the male lets hyenas, leopards, and other threats know that the pride is protected. His presence secures the ground and brings confidence to the pride.

This powerful image mirrors the strength of Jesus, the Lion of Judah. He stands guard over His people, and when He speaks, the enemy flees. Just as the lion’s roar wards off invaders, the authority of Jesus’ name drives back the powers of darkness.

“The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.” – Proverbs 28:1

As believers, we carry the authority of Christ. When we declare His name in faith, it’s not our own strength—but His roar—that causes the enemy to scatter. Jesus doesn’t just give us comfort—He gives us power.

“Behold, I give you authority… over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” – Luke 10:19

So when fear, temptation, or opposition draws near, don’t stay silent. Speak His name. Declare His promises. Let the roar of the King echo through your life, and watch the enemy retreat in defeat. The Lion of Judah fights for you—and His roar still reigns.

God Gives Power to Gain Wealth

“You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant…”

— Deuteronomy 8:18 (ESV)

Wealth doesn’t begin with a paycheck—it begins with God. He is the one who gives us the ability, wisdom, and strength to gain wealth. Jesus taught us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11), reminding us that provision is part of God’s promise for our lives.

But God’s provision goes beyond daily needs. Through the Holy Spirit, He gives ideas, strategies, and insights to create and manage resources. This is more than financial success—it’s about fulfilling His purpose. God empowers us to build wealth not for selfish gain, but to bless others and expand His Kingdom.

When we recognize God as our Source, we shift from ownership to stewardship. Our finances become tools for generosity, missions, and impact. As we are faithful with what He entrusts to us, He multiplies it for His glory. God gives wealth-building power with purpose. Let’s walk in wisdom, live generously, and partner with Him to make a lasting impact.

Faith in the Cold: Christian Lessons from the Emperor Penguin

Faith in the Cold: Christian Lessons from the Emperor Penguin

In the frozen wilderness of Antarctica, emperor penguins display an awe-inspiring combination of perseverance, precision, and community—a living reflection of God's wisdom and the values He calls us to live by.

60 Seconds of Precision
When a mother penguin lays her single egg, she has just 60 seconds to transfer it to the father's feet. If it touches the ice for too long, the chick won’t survive. But here's the wonder: they practice the movement beforehand—again and again—until they master it. That’s not a chance. That’s divine design. The theory of evolution tells us that this complex, intelligent behavior came together and just happened by sheer chance. The complexity and beauty of the penguin’s behavior laugh in the face of evolution.

“Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them.” — Psalm 111:2

What the Emperor Penguin Teaches Us About Perseverance
Once the transfer is complete, the father stands still for nearly two months, holding the egg on his feet through sub-zero temperatures and howling winds, without food. He simply endures through these severe challenges. He doesn’t move, not for himself, but for the life growing under him.

✨ Perseverance.
✨ Faithful partnership.
✨ Sacrifice for the next generation.

“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9

Huddle Up: The Power of Unity
To survive the cold, males form tight huddles, rotating positions so no one stays in the cold too long. They don’t compete. They cooperate—because life depends on sacrifice and teamwork.

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2

Stop Being a man of YOUR Word

Stop Being a man of YOUR Word.

“Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.”-Hebrews 10:23 NLT

As humans living in a world subject to brokenness and disappointment, we have all failed. We have made promises that cannot be kept. 

My friend Raegan recently had a situation come to light, where she had made a promise to harbor unforgiveness if someone betrayed her. When she was in fact betrayed, she was quick to action to show unforgiveness. She became resentful and angry and tried to justify her actions by saying she could not break her promise. She allowed this unforgiveness and pride to consume her for many months, until she finally understood that her own words were only failing her.

Pslams 119:160 tells us that, “The very essence of your words is truth; all your just regulations will stand forever.” (YouVersion Bible NLT) 

Scripture tells us that our flesh fails us, but His word is true. It is time to put down the promises we have made that lead ourselves, and others, away from the Word of God. Now is the time to turn away from pride, and stand in humility, whether it causes embarrassment or not to ourselves and what we have claimed to be the truth. Our words will always fail us, but His word never will. 

• Take action today, to lead your family in the word of the Lord and come under the justice of God.

• Repent of the words you have spoken that come against God, and realign yourself to His word. It’s time to put our pride to shame!

• Ask the Lord to soften your heart to experience His unfailing promises in this life. And speak those out to yourself, the people you love, and the people you have hurt.
