  • Episode 1341 - Jarvis Kingston Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one.
    2025/05/14
    Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Genesis 2:24

    Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”
    GENESIS 2:24

    DEVOTION
    Based on Genesis 2
    This verse speaks to the sacred unity of marriage. God designed it not as a contract but as a covenant—two lives becoming one. Leaving and cleaving are about forming a new foundation, rooted in love, loyalty, and shared purpose.

    Oneness doesn’t mean losing identity; it means growing together under God’s guidance. In marriage, we reflect the intimacy and faithfulness of God’s love for His people. This kind of union takes humility, grace, and commitment. Whether you’re married or preparing, God’s design points us toward sacrificial love and lasting connection.
    A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
    ADORATION: Lord, I praise You as the Creator of marriage, the One who unites hearts and purposes for Your glory.

    CONFESSION: Forgive me for times I’ve misunderstood or neglected Your design, for being selfish or distant in relationships You’ve called me to honor.

    THANKSGIVING: Thank You for the gift of covenant love—for relationships built not just on emotion but also on Your truth. Thank You for the beauty of oneness in Your plan.

    SUPPLICATION: Father, strengthen my commitment to love selflessly and cling to what honors You. Whether in marriage or preparation, teach me to build relationships on grace, truth, and unity. Let every relationship I enter reflect Your faithfulness and draw others to You.

    PRAYER
    “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”
    GENESIS 2:24
    Dear Heavenly Father, You have created marriage to be a beautiful reflection of Your love. The oneness between husband and wife is sacred, mysterious, and precious in Your sight. We pray for all marriages in need of Your unifying Spirit. For those couples feeling disjointed and distant, remind them of the magnificent union marriage is meant to be. Unify them under Your love, and galvanize them through Your word. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏🏾

  • Episode 1340 - Jarvis Kingston Lord, help me treat others with love, especially when difficult. Change my reactions and renew my mindset YAH
    2025/05/12
    Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Luke 6:31

    Luke 6:31 And as you would like and desire that men would do to you, do exactly so to them.

    DEVOTION
    Based on Luke 6
    This simple but powerful command—known as the Golden Rule—calls us to treat others not based on how they act, but how we wish to be treated. It’s a call to empathy and action, to extend grace, kindness, and patience, even when it’s undeserved. Jesus didn’t just teach this; He lived it.

    When we respond with love instead of retaliation, we reflect His heart. This principle transforms relationships, creates peace, and builds trust. It’s not easy, but it’s holy. And every time we choose to live this way, we shine God’s light in a dark world.
    A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
    ADORATION: Jesus, I praise You for living this truth perfectly—for treating others with love, even when mistreated. You are the perfect example of compassion.

    CONFESSION: I confess that I often act based on how others treat me rather than how You’ve called me to respond. I hold grudges and choose silence over grace.

    THANKSGIVING: Thank You for Your mercy that teaches me to be merciful. Thank you to those who have extended kindness when I least deserved it.

    SUPPLICATION: Lord, help me treat others with love, especially when difficult. Change my reactions and renew my mindset. Let me mirror Your grace to others, creating peace, healing, and a deeper sense of Your love in every interaction.

    PRAYER
    “For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate.”
    LUKE 6:31
    Dear Lord Jesus, You are the perfector of the golden rule. You are the ultimate example to follow for our conduct. I pray for a renewed appreciation for Your words and deeds. I pray they would inspire me in my day-to-day life. I want to treat people like I want to be treated – with understanding, patience, and love. When I fail at these things, gently guide me back to a faithful place. I want others to be better off because I was in their life. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏🏾

  • Episode 1339 - Jarvis Kingston Purify my heart, strengthen my character, and refine my conduct for Your glory, Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen ❤️
    2025/05/11
    Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Titus 1:7-8

    For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate.”
    TITUS 1:7-8

    DEVOTION
    Based on Titus 1
    Paul’s instruction to Titus outlines the high calling of a spiritual leader. But these qualities aren’t just for bishops—they’re a blueprint for anyone who wants to honor God.

    Leaders in the Kingdom are to be marked by humility, patience, self-control, and love for what is good. These traits come from living close to God, not striving for image but cultivating Christlike character. God entrusts His work to those willing to be stewards, not owners. True leadership is not about control but service—reflecting God’s heart in all things.
    A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
    ADORATION: Lord, You are the ultimate example of holy leadership—gentle, just, and full of truth. I honor You for Your perfect character.

    CONFESSION: Forgive me for the times I’ve led with pride, impatience, or selfish ambition. Too often, I’ve focused on appearances more than heart alignment.

    THANKSGIVING: Thank You for calling me to growth, not perfection. Thank You for the Spirit’s work in shaping me to lead and love with humility.

    SUPPLICATION: Father, refine my heart. Help me walk in integrity, self-control, and kindness. Let me lead—at home, work, or ministry—with a posture of service. Make me a lover of truth and a steward of Your grace, worthy of your calling on my life.

    PRAYER
    “For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate.”
    TITUS 1:7-8
    Dear Lord, You have set clear standards for leaders in Your church. For that, I am grateful because the flock of God can be vulnerable to corruption. Its shepherds must be people of integrity! But I also know these qualities do not just apply to pastors and ministry leaders. These qualities apply to anybody who desires to be effective for the Kingdom of God. Purify my heart, strengthen my character, and refine my conduct for Your glory, Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏🏾

  • Episode 1338 - Jarvis Kingston Pick yourself up and choose to press forward today. Ask God for what’s next, and confidently walk forward YAH
    2025/05/10
    Your Daily Prayer 🙏🏾 1 Samuel 27:7

    Your mistakes don’t make you.

    FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT ACTION: KINDNESS
    Send flowers or a handwritten card to someone grieving.

    Today’s daily devotional is based on David making the terrible mistake of uniting with the Philistines and using them as a shield against Saul.
    STORY
    Bible in a Year: David in Ziklag
    Scripture
    "And David inquired of the Lord, ‘Shall I pursue after this band? Shall I overtake them?’ He answered him, ‘Pursue, for you shall surely overtake and shall surely rescue.’” 1 Samuel 30:8
    Have you ever made a terrible mistake out of desperation? You’re not alone.

    We’ve all had our backs against the wall. We’ve made bad calls.

    But what matters most is how we respond to those failures.

    In this episode of Bible in a Year, David makes a terrible mistake. He unites with the Philistines and uses them as a shield against Saul. He cons the king of Gath into letting them settle in Ziklag. At first, it seems like a good partnership. David raids nearby villages for King Achish, pretending the spoils are from Israel. But really, he is raiding camps from Israel’s enemies. In David’s mind, he’s killing two birds with one stone. He’s protecting Israel while gaining an ally.

    But David has befriended the enemy. You can’t play with fire and not expect to get burned. David’s lies catch up to him, and he’s eventually forced to march against Israel. Lucky for him, God bails him out. But David’s neglect came at a cost: the women and children in his community were kidnapped.

    David’s men were furious at him. David was furious at himself.

    He could have given up. He could have let his failure anchor him to the floor. But we aren’t defined by our mistakes. Our inner strength is revealed when we pick ourselves back up and press forward.

    David marches alone to retrieve his people. His men followed, and together they triumphed.

    Your mistakes don’t define you. Get up. Press forward. Step into God’s calling.

    REFLECTION
    Consider your life right now. Are there any decisions you’ve made out of desperation that are costing you today? You don’t have to be stuck in those decisions. Don’t let your past keep you from your future. Pick yourself up and choose to press forward today. Ask God for what’s next, and confidently walk forward.

    PRAYER
    And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
    1 SAMUEL 27:7
    Dear Lord, as a tree finds its strength to endure from its roots, I too will find my strength in the depths of my roots and from the ground I choose to grow in. In moments of loneliness, give me the resolve and strength to remain planted in the place You’ve called me to. I will not abandon my values and morals to partner with others who offer protection and gain at the cost of my character and right to stand with You. I will not become comfortable with compromise as David and his men did during their season of loneliness in 1 Samuel 28. Because I am new and transformed, I will instead take on the latter spirit of David and fight for what is mine! I will retake and regain what the enemy has stolen from me! Through Your power God, I will be able to reclaim my land, my position and all that belongs to me, my family, and my future. I declare that compromise is not an option! In Jesus’ Name, Amen. 🙏🏾

  • Episode 1337 - Jarvis Kingston So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands Psalm
    2025/05/09
    Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Psalm 78:72

    So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.”
    PSALM 78:72

    DEVOTION
    Based on Psalm 78
    This verse describes David’s leadership, blending two key qualities: integrity and skill. God chose David not just for his outward abilities, but for the heart behind them. His leadership was marked by compassion, honesty, and excellence. In our own lives, whether we lead many or few, we are called to lead like David—with a heart rooted in integrity and hands equipped by God.

    Talent alone is not enough; character sustains influence. As we grow in both heart and ability, we reflect God’s shepherd-like care and become a blessing to those we serve.
    A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
    ADORATION: God, You are the Good Shepherd who leads with wisdom and love. I praise You for modeling perfect leadership in all things.

    CONFESSION: Lord, I admit I often focus on performance rather than the condition of my heart. Forgive me for prioritizing outward success over inward truth.

    THANKSGIVING: Thank You for the examples in Scripture of leaders like David. Thank You for the ways You are shaping both my heart and my hands for Your glory.

    SUPPLICATION: Father, give me a heart of integrity and hands ready for Your work. Whether I lead at home, in ministry, or at work, help me to lead with Your grace. Strengthen my character and sharpen my gifts, so that my leadership reflects You.

    PRAYER
    “So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.”
    PSALM 78:72
    Dear Lord, I know that there is no replacement for integrity. No false humility or manufactured words could ever replace pure intentions. I pray that You would give me a pure heart, oh Lord, and set my gaze upward toward You. I want to be a person of honor, always matching my actions with my convictions. I know this is truly impossible without Your guidance, power, and comfort. So, I pray Your Spirit would give me all these things and more, for Your names’ sake. Make me more like You every day, Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
    🙏🏾

  • Episode 1336 - Jarvis Kingston It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness Proverbs
    2025/05/08
    Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Proverbs 16:12

    It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.”
    PROVERBS 16:12

    DEVOTION
    Based on Proverbs 16
    This verse highlights the divine standard for leadership. Righteousness, not power or success, is the foundation of lasting authority. When leaders act with integrity and justice, their rule is strengthened; but when wickedness prevails, the very structure of leadership begins to crumble.

    This principle applies not only to kings but to anyone in influence—parents, teachers, pastors, or employers. God honors righteousness because it reflects His character. As believers, we are called to uphold truth and integrity in every role we fill. It’s not about perfection, but about alignment with God’s ways.
    A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
    ADORATION: Lord, You are righteous and just in all Your ways. I praise You for being a King whose rule is pure and eternal.

    CONFESSION: Forgive me for the times I’ve compromised truth for comfort or failed to lead with integrity in my responsibilities.

    THANKSGIVING: Thank You for the wisdom in Your Word that sets the standard for true leadership. I’m grateful for Your guidance.

    SUPPLICATION: Father, shape my character to reflect Yours. In every area of leadership, you’ve given me—at home, work, or ministry—help me to walk in righteousness. Let my words and decisions honor You and encourage others to trust in Your justice.

    PRAYER
    “It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.”
    PROVERBS 16:12
    Dear Lord, Your word is clear that leaders are held to a higher standard. Those who desire to lead will be held accountable for everyone under their care. That is why we pray for the leaders of our communities. We pray for the decision makers, movers, shakers, and people in power. We pray that they would understand the gravity of their position, and humble themselves, lest they be humbled by You. We all occupy some sort of influence in this world, therefore, we all need to be dependent on You, filled with fear and reverence. Help us to seek Your will and lead well. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏🏾

    PRAY FOR YOUR COMMUNITY
    Favor with God, finances, healing, relationships, Salvation, protection, and favor on our jobs.

  • Episode 1335 - Jarvis Kingston Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. -Proverbs 4:23 Arsenal PSG NBA WNBA
    2025/05/07
    Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Proverbs 4:23

    Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”
    PROVERBS 4:23

    DEVOTION
    Based on Proverbs 4
    The heart is the wellspring of life—what flows from it determines the direction of our thoughts, words, and actions. That’s why Scripture urges us to guard it closely. What we allow into our hearts—bitterness, pride, love, or truth—shapes who we become.

    Diligence means intentionality. We don’t drift into godliness; we pursue it. To keep our hearts is to filter everything through God’s truth and to stay alert to what nourishes or poisons our inner life. A guarded heart isn't a closed heart—it’s one open only to what leads to life.
    A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
    ADORATION: God, You are the Searcher of hearts. I worship You for knowing me fully and caring about what lives deep within me.

    CONFESSION: I admit I’ve let too many distractions, wounds, and lies settle in my heart. Forgive me for being careless with what I dwell on.

    THANKSGIVING: Thank You for giving me Your Word as a guard and guide. Thank You for the Spirit who convicts, teaches, and transforms my heart.

    SUPPLICATION: Father, help me guard my heart diligently. Give me discernment to recognize what’s toxic and strength to let go of what doesn't honor You. Fill my heart with what is pure, lovely, and true so that everything flowing from it reflects Your love.

    PRAYER
    “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”
    PROVERBS 4:23
    Dear Lord, I pray that You would keep our hearts aligned with Yours, so the paths we forge would honor You. People are counting on us to make decisions with conviction, courage, and resolve; we can’t do that if we are double-minded and our hearts are conflicted. Keep our gaze set on You, so our path might be straight and aimed at the ultimate destination– You! In Jesus' name we pray, Amen. 🙏🏾

    2025/05/06
    Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Mark 10:44-45

    And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.”
    MARK 10:44-45

    DEVOTION
    Based on Mark 10
    Jesus redefines greatness—not as status or authority, but as servanthood. He, the Son of God, came not to be served, but to serve and give His life. This example flips worldly ambition on its head. True leadership in the kingdom of God begins with humility and sacrifice. If we desire to follow Christ, we must be willing to pour ourselves out for others, just as He did for us.

    Service isn’t a lesser calling—it’s the highest. In serving others, we reflect the heart of Jesus and step into the kind of greatness that heaven honors.
    A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
    ADORATION: Jesus, I adore You for being the Servant King. You laid down Your rights, took on humility, and served the broken—me included.

    CONFESSION: Forgive me for chasing recognition or comfort instead of humbling myself. I confess how often I want to be seen more than to serve.

    THANKSGIVING: Thank You for showing that true greatness is found in love and sacrifice. Thank You for giving Your life so I could have mine.

    SUPPLICATION: Lord, shape my heart to serve with joy and humility. Make me aware of the needs around me, and I am willing to respond. Help me follow Your example—not just in words, but in actions, seeking no reward but to honor You.

    PRAYER
    “And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.”
    MARK 10:44-45
    Dear Lord, You are the great example of humility and selfless love. You showed us that the path to true greatness lies in serving others. As Your humble servant, help me to put aside my own ambitions and desires. Let me never think myself too important or too busy for the needs of others. May I never seek to be served, but rather to serve with love and kindness. Order my steps as I step outside myself to help those in need around me. Let me walk humbly without pride or arrogance, ever mindful of Your word and Your perfect example of service. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen 🙏🏾
