One of the most essential tools you must carry with you throughout the year is faith—Bible faith. This is your lifeline. Scripture teaches us that “above all, taking the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one” (Ephesians 6:16 NKJV). Faith is not optional; it is a shield, meant to be worn at all times.

The year 2026 is here, brand new! It comes with a lot of expectations and anticipations. You can hear people saying “new year, new me!” Others have resolutions drawn out and goals they intend to achieve. I must be better this year, they say. Something inside them stirs them for more. I call it a dream. Tell me, do you have one? That thing that inspires you to get up in the morning and keep going.

Have you ever wondered why, even when no one is watching, something inside you whispers, “This is right… this is wrong”? That gentle voice—often ignored or called imagination—is actually God’s divine guidance system within your spirit. The human spirit is a threefold design: conscience, intuition, and heart, perfectly crafted by God to keep us spiritually alive, alert, and aligned.

Have you ever desired to grow and flourish in every area of your life—spiritually, emotionally, financially, socially, and even physically? The remedy is simple: abide in the Word of God and make it your dwelling place. Sounds easy, right? And it truly is—but only when you understand what abiding means. To abide is to stay, lean on, and fully trust in God’s Word.
