WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING THE NEXT GENERATION? PART 4: WHAT ARE YOU PRODUCING?

WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING THE NEXT GENERATION? PART 4: WHAT ARE YOU PRODUCING? Galatians 5:22–23 (NLT) “But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!” In Part 1, we asked: WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING YOURSELF? We learned that what we consume matters because what we feed can grow. In Part 2, we asked: WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE YOU? We learned that what enters us must be processed. Hearing the Word is not enough. The Word must enter our hearts and transform our lives. In Part 3, we asked: WHAT IS FLOWING OUT OF YOU? We learned that what is happening inside us will eventually find expression through our words, attitudes, decisions and actions. Now we come to another important question: WHAT ARE YOU PRODUCING? Because something is always being produced by our lives. The question is not whether your life is producing something. The question is: WH...

THE FREEZER, THE FRIDGE & THE HOLY OF HOLIES PART 3: THE HOLY PLACE — ILLUMINATED, NOURISHED, BUT STILL GUARDING

THE FREEZER, THE FRIDGE & THE HOLY OF HOLIES
PART 3: THE HOLY PLACE — ILLUMINATED, NOURISHED, BUT STILL GUARDING


Exodus 26:33, Hebrews 9:6-8,

And you shall hang the veil from the clasps, and bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil. And the veil shall separate for you the Holy Place from the Most Holy.


In Part 2, we stepped into the Outer Court and learned that:

Activity is not intimacy. Visibility is not preservation. Being busy for God is not the same as being close to God.

The Outer Court introduced us to God — but it was never meant to keep us there.

📖 “Press toward the goal.” (Phil. 3:14)

God always invites us deeper.


Entering the Holy Place (Inner Court)

Beyond the Outer Court was the Holy Place — accessible only to the priests. Inside were three sacred items:

The Lampstand (light)

The Table of Showbread (nourishment)

The Altar of Incense (prayer)

This was a place of illumination, sustenance, and communion.

📖 “Your word is a lamp.” (Ps. 119:105 – key phrase)

The Holy Place & the Fridge (Almost the Freezer)

If the Outer Court is the fridge door, the Holy Place is the coldest shelf. Decay is greatly slowed here — but it is not fully stopped.

Why?

Because the veil still stands.


Spiritual Dimension

Spiritually, the Holy Place represents:

Consistent prayer

Daily Word intake

Active worship

This is a mature walk — yet Scripture still warns:

📖 “Take heed lest you fall.” (1 Cor. 10:12)

Spiritual maturity without humility can still spoil.


Physical Dimension

Physically, Holy Place living looks like:

Discipline instead of reaction

Health awareness instead of neglect

📖 “Let us run with endurance.” (Heb. 12:1 – key phrase)

Endurance requires consistency, not bursts.


Emotional Dimension

Emotionally, it reflects:

Emotional awareness

Healing in progress

Better regulation of responses

Yet Scripture reminds us:

📖 “Do not let the sun go down on your anger.” (Eph. 4:26)

Unresolved emotions still ferment — even at maturity.


Social Dimension

Socially, the Holy Place produces:

Accountability

Spiritual friendships

Shared growth

📖 “Exhort one another daily.” (Heb. 3:13)

Isolation invites decay, even at depth.


Economic Dimension

Economically, this stage shows:

Planning

Stewardship

Intentional giving

📖 “The plans of the diligent lead to profit.” (Prov. 21:5)

But diligence must remain consistent.


The Veil — The Final Barrier

Despite the light, bread, and incense, the veil remained.

📖 “The way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed.” (Heb. 9:8 – key phrase)

Something deeper still awaited.

The Warning

You can be illuminated, nourished, and prayerful — and still not fully preserved.

Spiritual spoilage at this level often comes through:

Pride

Burnout

Familiarity

📖 “Knowledge puffs up.” (1 Cor. 8:1 – key phrase)


Reflection

Am I feeding daily but still guarding my heart?

Am I mistaking depth for arrival?


Prayer

Lord, thank You for light, nourishment, and communion. But keep me humble and watchful. Do not let maturity turn into complacency. Draw me beyond the veil — where my life is fully preserved in You. Amen.


Part 4 Preview

Next, the veil is removed.

We enter the Holy of Holies — the place of full preservation, total surrender, and uninterrupted presence.

Stay tuned!

God is speaking, are you listening?

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...
