WORD OF THE WEEK

December 8, 2025

Pastor Jo’s message teaches that our words are powerful reflections of the heart that directly shape our reality. By auditing our daily speech and shifting from “confessions” of lack or sickness to declarations of faith, we align ourselves with biblical principles like Mark 11:23. Ultimately, since we “get what we say,” we are encouraged to hold fast to a positive confession, guarding our tongues to protect our souls and ensure that the words we plant today are the harvest we actually want to reap tomorrow.

Dear friend,

Anything done outside of love is worthless. God’s values love above all else.

Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:8 (NLT)

1 Corinthians 13 is known by Christians as “the love chapter,” and we often turn there to check ourselves on whether we are demonstrating God’s love. Verse three of this chapter says that if we give our money to the poor, but we don’t have love, it will profit us nothing!

God wants us to come to Him with our personal needs. However, if we have selfish motives, He cannot give us His blessing.

And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure.

James 4:2,3 (NLT)

I want to encourage you to check your heart. Is God’s love strong and alive within you? Repent of any selfishness that God shows you. Call out to God to fill you this week with His wonderful love.

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13:13 (NKJV)

Now, I leave you with this precious scripture:

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

2 Corinthians 13:14 (NKJV)

Hallelujah!

Pastor Jo

Who truly owns your bank account? As believers, we are called to be stewards of the resources God supplies. Our work, our homes, and our finances all belong to Him. When we prioritize seeking the Kingdom of God first (Matthew 6:33), we align our spending with His divine purpose.

A key to financial wisdom is letting the Holy Spirit act as your "umpire." Before making a purchase or investment, check your internal peace. If you feel frantic, panicky, or find yourself wavering, wait. We cannot clearly hear the Spirit’s guidance when we are overwhelmed by the world’s pull. Remember, we are in this world but not of it (John 17:16). Our radical approach to money reflects our devotion to the One who provides everything we need. Glory to God!
