From Head to Toe Pray for Their Mind and ThinkingEphesians 2:10 –…

Let’s also reflect on Genesis 21:16–17, which tells the story of Hagar—a woman cast out with her son, a victim of circumstances beyond her control. She was sent away with barely any resources, wandering in the wilderness. When the water was gone and death seemed near, Hagar couldn’t bear to watch her son die. She moved away from him, unable to listen to his cries.

But God could.

Another key quality: David was courageous. He fought the lion and the bear before facing Goliath. He built up his faith step by step, challenge by challenge. Sometimes we think our gifts will only matter on big stages, but what are you doing when your audience is one—or none? How do you carry yourself when no one is clapping?

Always give your best. Never cut corners. People might laugh at you in the early stages, but when destiny unfolds, the same people will see your purpose clearly. David's harp-playing and shepherding were mocked—but not when he killed Goliath and later became king.

Lord Jesus, I align myself and my household with the grace that Esther experienced. Let divine favor rest upon us—individual favor, public favor, royal favor. I declare that when people see me, hear my name, or come into contact with me, favor will arise.

Let teachers favor my children.
Let examiners favor me.
Let employers and managers favor me.
Let economic systems, industries, structures, and governments favor me.
Let nations favor me, in the name of Jesus.

Esther didn’t need to explain where she came from; her background didn’t limit her. Favor spoke for her. Favor set her apart. Favor made her stand out. I declare:

Jesus doesn’t just want to resurrect you—He wants to release you. He doesn’t want you walking around alive but still bound by the stench of shame, disappointment, or regret. He wants you free and fully restored.

When God created you, He did so with a purpose in mind; He had intent for your existence.Genesis 1:27-28 states that God created mankind in His own image, male and female. Verse 28 says that God blessed them and commanded them to be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it, giving them dominion over all living things.

I have yet to meet anyone who does not wish to be successful. It's easy to wish for something; all you have to do is sleep and dream about it. However, success is not about wishing—an illusion that what you desire is already true—but rather about working hard toward your goals. In this text, I would like to share the 4 D's that can help you reach your purpose in life.

The burdens that easily beset me weighed heavily upon me, and I could feel the gaze of others looking down at me in disgust, wondering how long it would take for me to rise again. In that moment, I lost all hope. I was battered by sins, guilt, hurt, and pain. Then, I looked up and saw the Lord, who had been reaching out His hand to me all along. I asked Him, "Lord, why are You wasting time on me? I'll never meet Your expectations. Look how deep I have fallen and the shameful things I have done."

One thing I know beyond all reasonable doubt is that God never fails. His faithfulness endures forever. Whatever His promises are to you will surely stand; nothing can stop it. It may not look like it now, but trust in His love—He always comes through. Remember, His thoughts are not our thoughts, neither are our ways His ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are His ways higher than our ways and His thoughts than our thoughts.
