S.O.A.P. 30 Day Challenge – Day #26 Monday, February 26, 2024 “Share Your Story”

S.O.A.P. 30 Day Challenge – Day #26 Monday, February 26, 2024 “Share Your Story”

S. Mark 5:19-20 (NIV) 19 Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” 20 So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis[a] how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.

O. Jesus told the healed demonic to go to his own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for him.  There is nothing more powerful than a person telling their own story of what Jesus has done for each of us to our families and those closest to us.

A. I will continue to share with those close to me, my story, i.e., what the Lord has done for me. I will continue to teach and encourage others to also share their story with those closest to them.

P. Thank you Lord for your word today. Thank you for what you have done in my life and the blessings you bring to me and others who trust in you and who share their story of your love and grace in their lives. In Jesus’ name.

S.O.A.P. 30 Day Challenge – Day #25 Saturday, February 25, 2024 “Keep Planting”

S.O.A.P. 30 Day Challenge – Day #25 Saturday, February 25, 2024 “Keep Planting”

S. Mark 4:28-29 (NIV) All by itself, the soil produces grain, first the stalk, then the head, and then the full kernel in the head. As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”

O. Jesus teaches about the parable of the Sower. Though the act of sowing only yields a 25% “success rate (1 of 4), the one good soil type is able to produce a crop 30, 60, and even 100 times what was planted. If ware faithful in planting, it will reach good soil and grow – producing all by itself.

A. We must continue to plant because it only takes 1 seed to reach the right soil type that can produce much. We must not worry about harvesting – rather, we must faithfully plant and leave the results with the Lord.

P. Thank you Lord for this passage. Holy Spirit, fill me and guide me to keep planting and trusting you with the results. I am believing you for a great harvest this year. In Jesus’ name.

S.O.A.P. 30 Day Challenge – Day #24 Saturday, February 24, 2024 “The Faith Report”

S.O.A.P. 30 Day Challenge – Day #24 Saturday, February 24, 2024 “The Faith Report”

S. Numbers 14:8-9 (NIV) “If the Lord is pleased with us, He will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will devour them. Their protection is done, but the Lord is with us. Do not be afraid of them”

O. Joshu and Caleb had reports of faith of the new land. They didn’t look at the size of the people inhabiting the land – they saw the size of God! They firmly believed God had led them to this point that they might take the land and experience victory.

A. This is true of us today. We must not look at the size of our obstacles – we must look at the size of God. Where God guides, He provides. Rather than have doubt and fear – choose to live by the report of faith and experience the blessings of God.

P. Thank you Lord for this passage. Holy Spirit, fill me and guide me to keep my eyes on the Lord and what he wants to do through me. Grant me faith, wisdom, and boldness to take kingdom ground and experience his blessings. In Jesus’ name.
