Most people talk about “winning the morning.” They talk about waking up early, praying early, and commanding the day at sunrise. But there’s a truth many believers overlook:

You cannot win the morning if you lose the evening.

In Scripture, a day does not begin at sunrise.
It begins in the evening — “And the evening and the morning were the first day” (Genesis 1).

That means if you truly want to “win the day,” your preparation must begin before the sun rises, not after.

1. Why Your Day Really Starts in the Evening

We often think the morning is where discipline begins. But according to biblical timing, the evening launches a new day. That means your spiritual focus, your habits, and your decisions the night before determine how your next morning unfolds.

If you went to bed spiritually empty, distracted, or prayerless…
you wake up already behind.

If you ended your night in the flesh, it will be harder to rise in the Spirit.

This is why evening preparation matters.

2. Why “Commanding Your Morning” Feels Difficult

Many believers struggle with waking up early to pray. They feel guilty. They think they lack discipline.

But often the issue is simpler:

You didn’t prepare your spirit the night before.

Without evening prayer, quietness, and shutting down distractions, the morning prayer becomes a battle. You’re starting cold, not warmed in the Spirit.

If you want consistent early-morning devotion,
start praying from the previous evening.

3. The Biblical Pattern of Fasting Also Begins in the Evening

We often say we’re “starting a fast in the morning.” And that’s why most people struggle.

Biblically, fasting begins with the start of the day — the evening, not sunrise.

If you begin your fast at night, you’re already 8–12 hours into it by the time you wake up. This makes the fast far easier and creates momentum.

For many people, dinner is the easiest meal to skip.
Eat breakfast, eat lunch…
skip dinner…

Go to bed…
Wake up already deep into the fast.

Now the morning becomes lighter. And the ripple effect continues throughout the day.

4. The Ripple Effect: Why Evening Discipline Creates Morning Power

When you:

• Shut down your evening properly

• Pray before bed

• Skip the last meal

• Enter rest with intention

…you wake up already spiritually and physically ahead.

This is how you truly win the day.

Not by hoping tomorrow morning goes well…

…but by setting it up tonight.

Conclusion

If you want stronger mornings, easier fasting, and more spiritual consistency:

Start winning your evenings.
Because spiritually and biblically…

The day begins when the sun goes down, not when the alarm rings.

Everyone faces days when nothing seems to go right. Plans collapse, emotions sink, and it feels as if heaven has gone silent. Yet, in the middle of life’s storms, one truth remains unshaken — God is still good, even on a bad day.
Understanding this truth can transform how we respond to trials, pain, and disappointment. Let’s explore three biblical reasons why God’s goodness doesn’t fade when life does.

1. God Proved His Goodness at Calvary

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8

The cross remains the ultimate evidence of God’s goodness. When Jesus shed His blood at Calvary, He made the greatest sacrifice in human history — not for the righteous, but for sinners.
Even if God never did another thing for us, the fact that He gave His Son for our salvation would be enough proof of His goodness forever.
Our bad days do not erase the price He already paid; they only remind us how much we need the grace He freely gives.

2. Life Itself Is Proof That God Is Good

“For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.” — Ecclesiastes 9:4

The very fact that you are alive means there is still hope. Life is not random; it is a gift sustained by God.
A bad day doesn’t mean a bad life. You may be surrounded by uncertainty, but as long as there is breath in your lungs, God is still giving you another chance — another sunrise, another opportunity to change, to rebuild, and to believe again.
Hope lives as long as you do, and hope itself is a testimony of God’s goodness.

3. A Bad Day Doesn’t Change Who God Is

Imagine a loving husband who provides for his spouse, gives gifts, and cares deeply. Now imagine that spouse comes home frustrated after a rough day at work. The difficult day doesn’t make the husband any less loving. His character hasn’t changed — only the circumstances have.
It’s the same with God. Your situation might change, your emotions might shift, but God remains the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
Bad things happen in a fallen world, but that doesn’t mean God caused them.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” — Romans 8:28

He doesn’t cause every bad thing that happens, but He can use every bad thing for your ultimate good. His goodness is not defined by how comfortable your life feels — it’s defined by who He is.

God’s Goodness Never Changes

A bad day is temporary; God’s character is eternal.
When you can’t trace His hand, trust His heart. When life hurts, remember the cross. When all else fails, remind yourself:
“God is good — all the time, and all the time, God is good.”

There are seasons when life feels like too much. Between ministry, family, work, and personal growth, it’s easy to feel buried beneath it all.

Personally, I wear many hats:

• I lead an assembly
• I serve in our wider church organization
• I’m a husband and father to a newborn
• I work a full-time job
• I manage an online ministry

It’s a lot—and yes, it can feel overwhelming.

The Root of Overwhelm

But here’s the wisdom the Lord gave me:

Overwhelm doesn’t come simply from having too much to do—it comes from trying to process everything in your mind at the same time.

The Bible says in Isaiah 26:3:
“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You.”

This scripture revealed the core issue: my mind was juggling too many thoughts at once. The peace of God couldn’t settle in because everything was swirling in my head.

A Simple Solution That Works

The Lord led me to do something very practical:
Write things down.

Instead of carrying all my responsibilities in my head, I began journaling and planning my day on paper. This simple step helped clear my mind and allowed me to focus on what truly matters—God’s presence and His Word.

You don’t need a fancy system. Just get it out of your head.

But if you’d like a tool that helps, I’ve linked one of my favorite Amazon planners here. It’s simple, effective, and helps bring structure to busy days. (affiliate link)

Meditate on the Word, Not the Work

Once I offload my mind onto paper, I turn my focus to Jesus. Meditating on Scripture—even if only briefly—restores peace and order to my spirit. I’m reminded that I don’t carry the weight of life alone.

This shift has helped me overcome overwhelm time and time again.

What About You?

This is the wisdom God gave me—and I pray it blesses you.

In the book of Judges chapter 11, we encounter one of the most tragic stories in the Bible—the rash vow of Jephthah. This powerful narrative serves as a cautionary tale about making foolish promises to God, misunderstanding His will, and following through with actions that contradict God’s nature.

Jephthah’s Vow: A Rash Promise

“And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,
Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me… I will offer it up for a burnt offering.”
— Judges 11:30–31

In a desperate moment before battle, Jephthah vowed to offer up as a burnt sacrifice whatever came out of his house first—believing it would guarantee him victory. The vow was not required by God. It was impulsive and dangerous.

A Heartbreaking Outcome: His Daughter

When Jephthah returned from battle victorious, he was devastated to see his only child—his daughter—come out to greet him with tambourines and dancing (Judges 11:34). Bound by his own words, Jephthah felt trapped. He declared:

“I have opened my mouth unto the Lord, and I cannot go back.”
— Judges 11:35

But did God truly expect Jephthah to carry out this horrific act?

God Never Sanctioned Human Sacrifice

The Bible is clear: God detests human sacrifice. While Jephthah may have felt obligated to keep his vow, it directly violated God’s commands:

“Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomination… have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire…”
— Deuteronomy 12:31

Jephthah’s vow may have seemed pious, but it was rooted in ignorance of God’s Word. God explicitly forbade such practices.

Ecclesiastes Warns Us About Foolish Vows

Scripture urges caution when making vows to God:

“When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it… Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.”
— Ecclesiastes 5:4–5

However, verse 6 adds vital clarity:

“Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin…”

Jephthah’s vow caused him to sin. God does not require us to fulfill sinful vows.

The Principle in Deuteronomy 23:18

“Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the Lord thy God for any vow…”

This shows that sinful offerings are invalid, even if made in the context of a vow. The principle is clear: A vow that requires sin to fulfill is not acceptable to God.

What Jephthah Should Have Done

Jephthah should have repented for his rash vow rather than carry it out. The correct course would have been:

• Confess the sin of the vow.
• Refuse to commit further sin (e.g., human sacrifice).
• Offer a proper sacrifice of repentance and seek God’s guidance.

Why Didn’t Jephthah Know Better?

Now, you may be wondering, “Wouldn’t Jephthah have known the Word—and realized his vow was invalid?”

Scripture gives us a clue:

“Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him.” — Judges 11:3

If vain men surrounded Jephthah, it suggests that he himself was vain and lacked deep spiritual roots. As we often say where I’m from: “Show me your friends, and I’ll tell you who you are.”

Jephthah suffered because of his ignorance of God’s Word. This is why growing spiritually is essential, as we emphasize on our Spiritual Growth page.

🎭 A Modern Analogy: The Merchant of Venice

In Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, a man promises a pound of flesh as collateral. Yet he cannot fulfill the contract without committing murder—so the contract is void.

Likewise, Jephthah’s vow, once it required shedding innocent blood, became void by God’s own standards.

Final Thoughts: Let Your Yes Be Yes

The story of Jephthah reminds us that:

• Not all vows are holy.
• Ignorance of God’s Word can lead to destruction.
• God values obedience, not reckless zeal.

Before making promises to God, we must be sure they align with His character and Word. Jesus Himself warned:

“Let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’; anything more comes from the evil one.”
— Matthew 5:37

If your pastor were to declare, “I am a perfect Christian,” how would you respond?
Would words like pride, arrogance, or self-righteousness come to mind? Most of us would instinctively cringe at such a bold statement.

But what if we’ve misunderstood what “perfect” truly means in the Bible?

Rethinking “Perfect” in the Bible

In our modern context, perfection usually means being flawless or without error. This definition makes the idea of a “perfect Christian” seem unrealistic or even offensive.

However, the original biblical use of the word “perfect” often carried a different meaning. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, an older (now considered obsolete) definition of perfect is “mature.” This aligns with the way the King James Version (KJV) often uses the term.

Even in today’s usage, the verb to perfect means “to bring to final form” or “to refine or improve.” It’s about growth—not flawlessness.

The Biblical Case for Maturity

Let’s look at Ephesians 4:13:

“Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.” (KJV)

The Greek word translated here as perfect man is the same word used in Hebrews 5:14, where it’s translated as full age:

“But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”

In both cases, the focus is clearly on spiritual maturity, not sinless perfection.

Was Job Really “Perfect”?

Consider what God said about Job:

“Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man…” (Job 1:8)

Does this mean Job was flawless? Not at all. A deeper study of the book reveals that Job struggled with self-righteousness—a flaw God eventually corrected.

(I explore this further in this blog post on Job’s hidden sin of self-righteousness.)

Yet even in his weakness, Job’s final response to God reveals the hallmarks of spiritual maturity:

“…therefore have I uttered that I understood not… Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.” (Job 42:3, 6)

Mature believers are not sinless—but they are humble, teachable, and quick to repent when corrected by God.

Why This Matters for Today’s Christian

When Jesus said, “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” (Matthew 5:48), He wasn’t calling us to never make a mistake. He was calling us to grow into spiritual maturity—to reflect the character of our Heavenly Father more and more each day.

Yet, many Christians still use the phrase “I’m not a perfect Christian” as an excuse to remain stagnant, particularly when it comes to sin and holiness.

So, Back to Your Pastor…

If your pastor stood up and said, “I am a perfect (mature) Christian,” would that still offend you?
In truth, you should expect your pastor to be spiritually mature. Who wants an immature spiritual leader?

The real question is: Are you striving for maturity too?

Final Thought

Maturity doesn’t come overnight. It’s the result of walking in the light of what we know, applying the truth of God’s Word, and humbling ourselves before Him when we fall.

What steps are you taking to grow in maturity?

Introduction

There are many popular memes today suggesting that when others spread lies about you, the best thing to do is simply leave it alone. The reasoning behind this is that those who believe the lies were too gullible to begin with — and that, over time, the truth will eventually come out.

But is this really how Christians should respond?

Lies Can Affect Your Testimony for Christ

First of all, lies about someone are a form of defamation of character. When your character is attacked, it can damage your witness and testimony — whether directly or indirectly.

Defamation of character is a weapon the enemy often uses against the children of God. It should not always be ignored, especially when it affects your ability to minister, serve, or represent Christ well.

Deal With the Spirit of Lies in Prayer

As Christians, we are called to deal with lies — and the spirit behind them — through prayer and spiritual warfare.

Consider this passage of Scripture:

In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and He heard me. Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
— Psalm 120:1–4

In this psalm, the writer was attacked by lying lips — but he did not simply ignore the situation. Instead, he took the matter before God in prayer, seeking both deliverance and judgment against the lying spirit.

A Personal Testimony: When Lies Were Spread About Me

I myself faced a situation where someone began spreading lies about me — lies that could have had a serious impact on both my career and my ministry as a minister of the Gospel.

The situation was very delicate, as the individual was showing early signs of mental instability that very few people knew about. Because of this, what they were saying appeared believable to others.

I knew I could not attack the individual personally, but I also understood that this was more than a natural situation — this was a spiritual attack. So I brought the matter before God, specifically targeting the spirits of defamation and lying that were influencing the situation.

How I Prayed

In prayer, I presented my case to God — much as one would before a righteous Judge.

• I explained my innocence in the situation.
• I reminded God of what His Word says about lies and false accusations.
• I specifically quoted Psalm 120, asking the Lord to judge the spirits of lying and defamation of character.

I committed to several days of prayer and fasting, repeating this prayer persistently.

Praise God — by the end of that season of prayer, the individual came back to their right mind and publicly confessed that what they had said was not true.

Understanding Spiritual Warfare in This Context

This experience aligns with what I’ve shared in a previous article about how the devil operates as a plaintiff in the court of Heaven, bringing accusations against believers and requesting judgment when we sin.

What many believers don’t realize is that the roles can be reversed. We, too, can enter into the role of plaintiff and bring charges against the enemy.

When I say the enemy, I mean anyone or anything being used by the adversary — whether witches, warlocks, devils, unclean spirits, or even misguided individuals.

Why This Works

The enemy brings reports of our sins to God and requests judgment — often resulting in things like:

• Sickness
• Poverty
• Depression
• Death
• Various forms of spiritual oppression and curses

But remember: God is a righteous Judge. His judgment can also go in favor of His children when they bring matters before Him in line with His Word.

When someone — or an unclean spirit — comes against you unjustly, you can present your case to God and request judgment against that attack. The key is to have the Word of God to back up your petition.

Final Thoughts

So should Christians simply ignore lies spread about them?

The answer is no. While we must maintain love and forgiveness toward the individual, we are also called to stand firm in spiritual warfare when an attack threatens our testimony or calling.

In situations like these, take the matter to God in prayer. Stand on His Word, and trust in His justice. He is both your Defender and Judge.

Finding The “Perfect One” Doesn’t Mean You Will Not Face Problems

God gave Eve to Adam. There could be no more perfect match than this. Yet, the enemy came, deceived Eve, and caused such a big problem that affected the entire human race. When God started to question what happened, he responded by saying “…The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat” – Gen 3:12. Adam was casting the blame on God. 

If God had not given him that woman, then this would not have happened. If the devil could bring problems in the relationship of Adam of Eve, then the idea that a marriage will last forever because you have found “the one” is absurd. 

Abraham sent his servant to seek a wife for his son Isaac. Abraham gave him strict instructions not to take a woman of the land of Canaan but was to seek one from his home land (Mesopotamia) and of his relatives. 

When the servant arrived, he asked the Lord to fulfill a specific list of requests to show that this is the woman that He had appointed for Isaac. Rebekah came and fulfilled all of the signs. Eventually, Isaac and Rebekah got married and you would say this is a perfect marriage ordained of God and so problems wouldn’t occur. Yet, Rebekah instructed and helped her son Jacob to deceive his father Isaac, so that he could get the blessings of Abraham instead of his brother Esau. 

Such a deceptive move of this mother brought about a strife between brothers that lasted for generations until God stepped in and destroyed the descendants of Esau because they refused to forgive. 

Amos 1:11 “Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:”

If Rebekah was appointed by God, and problems still occurred in the marriage, then your quest to find “the one” because you want a perfect and problem free marriage is a waste of time.

We from the outside look at marriages that have failed, and say it is because they never waited to find “the one”. Some of those who have had failed marriages will also agree with the idea that their marriage failed because they didn’t wait to find “the one”. 

But, a failed marriage is not a symptom of not finding “the one”. It is a result of not adhering to the principles and guidelines of God’s word. Or, as the scripture says “the devil comes not but to kill, steal and destroy”. The marriage was destroyed because no one was able to discern the enemy and if they did, just didn’t know how to fight back.

Now, you may be asking “how do I fight back against the enemy’s attack on my marriage?”. Good question, but before we can answer that, we must first deal with the terminology of “the one” in the next blog.

Faith Skips Any Line

Jesus was on his way to Jairus’s house to heal his daughter (Luke 8:41-56) but, while they were going, this woman with the issue of blood for all of 12 years was fed up with being sick. This was her opportunity to be healed and she was not going to let it pass. She said if I can but touch the hem of his garment, I will be made whole or be healed. She touched his garment and was healed.

Lessons To Take Away

What can be learned from this? There is no line for blessings or healing. God is not going to delay you because he is working on someone else’s blessing and he is preoccupied. If you mean business, God means business.

Jairus probably had a mindset that he was next but then this woman got her healing before his daughter. After studying the scriptures, we realize that the reason why Jairus’ daughter did not get healing before the woman with the issue of blood was because of his faith. The woman with the issue of blood had more faith than Jairus.

What do I mean by this? Jairus wanted Jesus to come home with him to heal his daughter. It would require Jesus to leave where he was to go to where Jairus’s daughter was. We later read about a Centurion’s servant who was also sick, but he didn’t bother Jesus to come home to heal him. He said just speak the word and it shall be done. Jesus did it and it was done.

This means if Jairus had the faith that the centurion had, then it could have also been done for him.

Jairus is not to be looked down upon because he didn’t have as great faith as the centurion. What we are to do is to take notes and learn. We may see individuals around us being blessed and we are wondering what about us? 

The time it takes to receive your blessings has nothing to do with the length of the “blessings line” but is more in line with your faith.

Please note Faith Pushes You To Act. Faith is not Passive.

If you have faith that God is not only able to bless you, but He desires to do so, then you will not stop seeking Him unto you get your blessings.

My question to you is “What line have you been waiting in?”

Isn’t God’s Strength Made Perfect in Weakness?

In defending this doctrine, someone may quote “My strength is made perfect in weakness” – 2 Corinthian 12:9. Ok, let’s examine this scripture. The true understanding of this scripture is that God’s strength is complete in an individual who is weak because that individual will wholeheartedly depend on God. People who are strong tend to go on their merry way, doing their own thing and rarely, if ever, consider God.

You must also consider the context of the scripture. Paul had issues with being boastful so a thorn was given to humble him. Don’t believe me? Ok, let’s look at the scriptures.

2 Corinthians 12

1: It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

In verse 1 of chapter 12, Paul starts off by saying it is not good to glory (boast). In verse 6 of the same chapter, Paul said:

6: For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.

So Paul was admitting that deep within himself, he does have that desire to glory (boast) but he will constrain himself. But by verse 11, Paul was singing a new song.

11: I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.

Paul stated clearly that he fell into the trap of boasting. Why Paul was boasting is something we can address in another article. Even though Paul was given the thorn to humble him, he was still boasting. So, can you imagine what he would be like if the thorn was not there?

If Paul could have dealt with his issue of boasting, then the thorn could have been removed. So, this scripture cannot be used to justify the statement that “God wants broken people or being gracefully broken”. This was a totally different issue God was dealing with Paul.

You Don’t Have to Be Broken

God’s strength can be made perfect or complete in an individual who is strong because “in all their ways, they have acknowledged God” so he/she can be directed.

Also, the scripture plainly states in Psalms 147:3 – He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

Why would God do this if he wanted broken people??? 

Songs are a tool used by the enemy to cripple the church of God. When we sing songs that do not line up with the word of God, it subconsciously shapes the way we think and act, and eventually, we believe the words we sing in the gospel songs are biblical.

Which Scriptures Speak To Waiting On The Lord?

• Psalm 27:14 – wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord
• Isaiah 40:31 – But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
• Lamentation 3:25 – The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him
• Psalms 40:1 – I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry

What Does The Greek/Hebrew Word For “Wait” In The Above Scriptures  Mean?

• The Hebrew word used for “wait” in all the above verses is Qavah.
• Qavah is a Hebrew word meaning ‘binding together, eagerly waiting, hoping for, expecting’.
• This Hebrew word has two broad meanings:
• “Binding together” or;
• “Eagerly waiting”, “hoping for” and expecting” is speaking of one thing – Hope

What Does The English Word “Wait” Mean?             

1. stay where one is or delay action until a particular time or event.
2. used to indicate that one is eagerly impatient to do something or for something to happen.

Note: Definition 1 would be the most appropriate definition to use in the context of the scriptures. The Lord telling you to be “eagerly impatient” about something does not line up with “be anxious for nothing”.

What Does It Mean to Wait on the Lord – Explanation

The English word “wait” is speaking about ‘tarrying’ or ‘delaying one’s action’. The Hebrew word in the above scriptures is speaking more about “hope” rather than “tarrying” or ‘delaying action’. The Hebrew word that speaks to tarrying or delaying your action is Chakah. This can be seen in Hosea 6:9 – “And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company or priests murder in the way…”

It means therefore that scriptures such as Isaiah 40:31 have been misunderstood. The word of God was speaking about having hope in the Lord. Also, it means then when we have prayed to the Lord for things and we heard the instruction “wait” or “wait on the Lord” we misunderstood what God was trying to say OR…

It was not the voice of God but the devil trying to deter us from praying because he knows God will answer, and we have misunderstood what it means to “wait” on God. This shouldn’t come as a surprise since the devil tried to use scriptures when tempting Jesus.

What To Do While Waiting?

NEVER STOP PRAYING and fast if needed.
