WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING THE NEXT GENERATION?

WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING THE NEXT GENERATION? PART 5: WHAT ARE YOU PASSING ON? Deuteronomy 6:6–7 (NLT) “And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.” In Part 1, we asked: WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING YOURSELF? We discovered that what we consume matters. In Part 2, we asked: WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE YOU? We learned that what enters us must be processed. In Part 3, we asked: WHAT IS FLOWING OUT OF YOU? We learned that what is inside us eventually finds expression through our words, attitudes and actions. In Part 4, we asked: WHAT ARE YOU PRODUCING? We looked at the fruit of the Spirit and discovered that our lives should produce something that others can receive. Now we come to another important question: WHAT ARE YOU PASSING ON? Because life does not end with us. Something is al...

THE LINE AND THE LAKE: WHEN OBEDIENCE MEETS UNLIKELY PROVISION PART 6: PROVISION FOR TWO — WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE COVERS OTHERS

THE LINE AND THE LAKE: WHEN OBEDIENCE MEETS UNLIKELY PROVISION
PART 6: PROVISION FOR TWO — WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE COVERS OTHERS


Matthew 17:27d

“…take that and give it to them for Me and you.” NKJV


🔄 Recap (Part 5):

Peter obeyed the instruction to cast his line—and from the mouth of the fish came a coin. It was a reminder that God’s provision can come from strange places, but it always meets the exact need.


🔍 Focus: Obedience that Overflows

Jesus could have said, “Give it for Me.”

But He said,


 “Give it to them for Me and you.”


The coin wasn’t just enough for Jesus’ temple tax—it was enough for Peter too.


That’s the nature of divine provision:


 It rarely blesses just the one who obeys—it blesses those connected to the obedient one.


This wasn’t about money alone. It was a prophetic statement:


Peter, your obedience just paid for both of us.


Peter, you’re not walking this road alone.


Peter, what I’m doing through you will always be enough to cover you.


🧠 Pause and think:


That job you’re doing?


That ministry you’re building?


That gift you’re stewarding?


If you do it in obedience, it won’t only bless you—it will bless others, too.


🔑 Your obedience today can open doors, cancel debts, and lift burdens for more than just you.


💡 Kingdom Principle:

When you follow God’s instructions, you never walk away with “just enough.”

You walk in the overflow—where your yes becomes someone else’s breakthrough.



🧠 Reflection:

Who might God be using your obedience to cover right now?


Are you hoarding obedience as personal, or are you seeing it as part of a bigger assignment?




✅ Call to Action:

Write down the names of 1–2 people whose lives are impacted when you walk in obedience.

Pray for them—and recommit to obedience, knowing it’s bigger than you.


Speak aloud:

My obedience is not just for me. I walk in alignment for the sake of others connected to my journey.





🛐 Prayer:

Lord, thank You for provision that overflows. Teach me to see obedience not just as a personal act but as a generational one. Let my decisions today unlock answers for others. Help me carry this responsibility with joy, knowing that my obedience creates space for someone else’s relief. In Jesus’ name, Amen.




💬 Let’s Talk:

Has someone else’s obedience ever benefited you? Who is currently benefitting from yours? Let’s talk about the ripple effect of walking with God.




⏭️ Teaser for Part 7:

As we wrap up this journey, we’ll zoom out and look at the big picture: The line. The lake. The instruction. The coin. In Part 7, we’ll reflect on how obedience positions you for supernatural purpose.

WHEN FOLLOWING JESUS COSTS EVERYTHING PART 7: WHAT IS YOUR “ONE THING”?

WHEN FOLLOWING JESUS COSTS EVERYTHING PART 7: WHAT IS YOUR “ONE THING”? Luke 18:22 (NIV) When Jesus Christ heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing…” In Part 6, we encountered the rich young ruler—a man who was disciplined, moral, and sincere, yet walked away from Jesus Christ because of one thing he could not surrender. He was close to Jesus—but not surrendered to Him. Opening Thought 🌅 Sometimes, the greatest barrier between you and your next level in God is not many things—it is just one thing. Not obvious. Not loud. But deeply rooted. Key Phrase “ You still lack one thing …” Insight 🔍 This statement is both simple and profound. It means: You can be doing many things right… and still miss one thing. You can be progressing… and still be held back. You can be committed… and still be divided. The rich young ruler didn’t lack discipline. He lacked surrender in one area. And that one thing became everything. Deeper Application 🔥 Your “ one thing ” may not be money—but ...

THE GREAT WALL: WHEN WALLS FAIL PART 2 — THE ENEMY AT THE GATE: STRONG WALLS, WEAK WATCHMEN

Image
THE GREAT WALL: WHEN WALLS FAIL PART 2 — THE ENEMY AT THE GATE: STRONG WALLS, WEAK WATCHMEN In Part 1, we saw that walls do not fail because they are weak; they fail when the gates are compromised. Even the mighty Great Wall of China, built with stones, sweat, and sacrifice, could not stop an enemy when its gatekeepers failed. True strength lies not in the wall itself, but in the vigilance and integrity of those who guard it. Now in Part 2, we explore how weak watchmen at the gate can undo even the strongest defenses. Every wall has two sides: the builders who raise it and the watchmen who guard it. A wall can be tall, thick, ancient, and mighty…but if the hearts of its watchmen grow tired, distracted, or compromised, the enemy does not need strength — just an opportunity. The Great Wall teaches us this: Strength is useless without vigilance. Protection is fragile without attention. A boundary is only as safe as the person standing at the gate. Let’s journey deeper. THE STORY — Part 2 ...

🐦THE TAILORBIRD AND THE WISDOM OF STARTING SMALL PART 1: USING WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HANDS

🐦THE TAILORBIRD AND THE WISDOM OF STARTING SMALL PART 1: USING WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HANDS Exodus 4:2  “What is that in your hand?” Luke 16:10  “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much…” PERSONAL ENCOUNTER STORY Recently, I came across something that genuinely arrested my attention. I was scrolling through TikTok one evening when I saw a short clip about a small bird called the tailorbird. At first, I thought it was just another nature video—something interesting but ordinary. But as I kept watching, something unusual happened. This tiny bird was shown “ sewing ” leaves together to build its nest. At first, I doubted it. It looked almost staged. But curiosity pushed me further. I paused the video… watched it again… and then again. That moment didn’t just stay on TikTok—it followed me off the app. I found myself searching: “ Is this real? How does a bird sew leaves?” And that was the beginning of a deeper journey. The more I researched, the more I r...
