    Moving to Higher Ground

    Send a text Moving to Higher Ground Theme for the Month: Spiritual Growth Scripture: 2 Peter 3:18 “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”   I heard about a man who decided he needed to get in shape. So, he bought a treadmill. The first day he walked on it for five minutes and said, “Lord, I’m moving!” The second day he walked ten minutes and said, “Lord, I’m progressing!” The third day he looked at the treadmill and said, “Lord, you know my heart.” Then say: “Some Christians want spiritual growth without spiritual movement. But God didn’t call us to stay on the same level — He called us to higher ground.” Growth means movement upward.   A child grows. A tree grows. Faith must grow. Peter did not say stay in grace — he said grow in grace.   Illustration: Climbing a Mountain Imagine climbing a mountain. The higher you go: • The air gets thinner • The climb gets steeper • But the view gets better Some people never climb spiritually because they are comfortable in the valley. But God is calling His people higher. 1. Higher Ground Requires Leaving Some Things Behind Philippians 3:13–14 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.” I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Spiritual growth requires release. Some people cannot move higher because they keep dragging the past. Illustration: A hot air balloon cannot rise if heavy sandbags remain attached. Before the balloon goes up, the pilot must release weight. The same is true spiritually. Sometimes God says: Let go of • old habits • old grudges • old mindsets. You cannot climb higher while holding on to things that keep pulling you down.   2. Higher Ground Requires Closer Relationship with God James 4:8 “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.” The higher you go spiritually, the closer you walk with God. That means growth in: • prayer • fasting • worship • studying the Word. Illustration: When Moses went up Mount Sinai, the people stayed below. But Moses experienced God’s glory on the mountain. The crowd stayed comfortable — but Moses went higher. Some blessings only happen at higher levels of intimacy with God.   3. Higher Ground Requires Forgiveness Some believers are stuck on low ground because of unforgiveness. Unforgiveness is like carrying a backpack full of rocks while trying to climb a mountain. You cannot reach higher ground holding on to yesterday’s hurt. Illustration: A man said he couldn’t forgive someone. His pastor told him, “Every time you refuse to forgive, you give that person free rent in your mind.” Spiritual growth means: • releasing offenses • letting go of bitterness • walking in grace.   4. Higher Ground Requires Greater Faith Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please Him.” Every new level with God requires greater trust. Illustration: When Peter stepped out of the boat, the other disciples stayed seated. They saw the same storm, the same waves, and the same wind. But Peter experienced something they never did Support the show

    The Importance of Knowing God's Word

    Send a text Kingdom Teaching 02/25/26  www.facebook/com/owcoc 7pm.  From my Book Word up!  Chapter one – The Importance of Knowing God’s Word    A Lamp to Our Feet  Imagine walking through a dense forest at night without a flashlight. The path ahead is uncertain, filled with obstacles,, and every step feels risky. This is what life is like without the guidance of God’s Word. Psalm 119:105 declares, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” God’s Word illuminates our journey, giving us direction and keeping us from stumbling.  Illustration: The Lost Hiker  A young man named David set out on a hiking trip in the mountains, confident that he knew the way. He ignored the map and trail markers, relying on his instincts. As the sun set, he realized he had wandered far from the path, lost and surrounded by darkness. Panic set in until he remembered the small flashlight in his backpack. With its dim glow, he carefully retraced his steps, finding his way back to safety.  Much like David’s flashlight, the Word of God provides clarity in the midst of confusion. It helps us navigate life’s challenges and keeps us from being led astray by the distractions and temptations of the world.  The Power of God’s Word  God’s Word is more than a book of history or moral teachings; it is living and active. Hebrews 4:12 tells us, “For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword.” This means Scripture is not just for reading—it is meant to change us. It convicts, corrects, and strengthens us.  Short Story: The Prisoner’s Transformation  John had spent years in and out of prison, each time returning to the same destructive habits. One day, a fellow inmate handed him a Bible, challenging him to read just one verse a day. Skeptical but curious, John began reading. Over time, something changed. He found hope in the words of Jesus, strength in the promises of God, and a new identity in Christ. When he was released, he didn’t go back to his old ways. Instead, he started a ministry to help others find freedom—not just from prison, but from the bondage of sin.  Why We Must Know God’s Word  1.     To Discern Truth from Falsehood – In an age of misinformation and deception, we need God’s Word to distinguish right from wrong (2 Timothy 3:16-17).  2.     To Build Spiritual Strength – Just as food nourishes the body, Scripture nourishes the soul (Matthew 4:4).  3.     To Fight the Enemy – Jesus used Scripture to defeat Satan’s temptations in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). We, too, must arm ourselves with God’s Word.    Conclusion: A Daily Commitment  Knowing God’s Word is not a one-time event; it is a lifelong journey. Like a well-trained soldier, we must equip ourselves daily with Scripture, allowing it to shape our thoughts, decisions, and actions.  Let us commit to not just reading the Word, but living it. Because when we truly know God’s Word, we come to know God Himself.    Part I – True or False (10 Questions) Write T for True or F for False. God’s Word is compared to a lamp that gives guidance in Psalm 119:105.The lost hiker ignored the map and trail markers because he trusted his instincts.God’s Word is only a historical document and not relevant for today.Hebrews 4:12 describes God’s Word as living and powerful.Scripture is sharper than a one-edged sword.John, the prisoner, refused to read the Bible when it was given to him.God’s WoSupport the show

    Except!

    Send a text There is much confusion today about what the new birth is.  Most Christians, if asked what the phrase “New Birth” or “Born Again” means, could not give a clear answer.  Yet, our eternal salvation hangs on our understanding of how to be born again.   Jesus taught the New Birth: John 3:3 – Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. John 3:5 – Except a man be born of Water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.    Clearly, being born again is the same thing as being saved.  Therefore, it is of utmost importance that we know how to be born of water and spirit. Simply stated, the birth of water is water baptism, and the birth of the Spirit is Holy Spirit baptism.  The word baptism means to be born of.  There is no other logical way. To interpret this passage.    The Plan of Salvation   The only salvation available to the human race was purchased by Jesus Christ at Calvary (John 8:24, 14:6).  This was God’s grace to us while we were yet sinners (Rom 5:8).  We must accept this by faith and by obedience to Calvary’s plan.  The work of Calvary consists of Jesus’s death, burial, and resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 - 1. Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.  For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,   Since the work of Calvary consists of dying, being buried, and rising again, Jesus called this plan being born again.  We are all born into this world as sinners (Psalms 51:5, Romans 3:10 & 23.  Therefore, we all must be born again into the Kingdom of God.  Therefore, we must follow the steps of Calvary by dying out of sin, in repentance, being buried with Jesus in water baptism, and being raised again by the baptism of the Spirit of God (Romans 6:3-5.   Salvation then consists of:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Grace– Ephesians 2:8- For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,                 Titus 2:11- For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. Faith – (Romans 5:2 - through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.   Hebrews 11:6) - But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Repentance (Luke 13:3)  I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.

    Genesis 48 - The Younger Over the Older

    Send a text Genesis 48 – Covenant Blessing: The Younger Over the Older (Part 48 in the “God Keeping Covenant” Series) 🌟 INTRODUCTION Genesis 48 answers a vital covenant question: How does God transfer covenant promise to the next generation? Jacob is near death. Joseph brings his two sons: Manasseh (firstborn)Ephraim (second born)What happens next is deliberate, prophetic, and covenant-driven. Theme: God keeps covenant by sovereignly choosing, prophetically blessing, and transferring promise according to divine purpose — not human tradition.   📖 VERSE-BY-VERSE COVENANT INSIGHTS   Genesis 48:1–2 — Strength Rises for Blessing Joseph is told his father is ill. Jacob gathers strength to sit up. Covenant Lesson: Blessing requires intentional effort. Even in weakness, covenant fathers speak life.   Genesis 48:3–4 — Jacob Rehearses the Promise Jacob recounts God’s appearance at Luz (Bethel): “Be fruitful and multiply.”“I will make you a multitude of people.”“I will give this land to your descendants.”Covenant Lesson: Before blessing others, rehearse God’s promises. Legacy flows from remembrance.   Genesis 48:5–6 — Adoption of Ephraim & Manasseh Jacob declares: “Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine as Reuben and Simeon are.” Joseph’s sons are adopted as full tribal heads. This gives Joseph a double portion. Covenant Lesson: Covenant inheritance can be expanded by grace. Joseph receives restoration for years of loss.   Genesis 48:7 — Remembering Rachel Jacob briefly recalls Rachel’s death. This is emotional. Covenant Lesson: Even grief is part of covenant history. God writes promise through pain.   Genesis 48:8–12 — Personal Connection Jacob asks: “Who are these?” Joseph presents his sons. They bow. Covenant Lesson: Covenant blessing is personal, not mechanical.   Genesis 48:13–14 — The Crossed Hands Joseph places: Manasseh at Jacob’s right handEphraim at Jacob’s leftBut Jacob crosses his hands. The younger receives the greater blessing. Covenant Lesson: God’s sovereignty overrides human order. This is not accident — it is intentional. Biblical Pattern of Reversal: Abel over CainIsaac over IshmaelJacob over EsauJoseph over ReubenEphraim over ManassehGod chooses by purpose, not birth order. Genesis 48:15–16 — The Covenant Blessing Spoken Jacob blesses Joseph’s sons: “The God before whom my fathers walked…”“The God who has fed me all my life…”“The Angel who redeemed me from all evil…”This is one of the richest covenant declarations in Scripture. Covenant Lesson: God is Shepherd, Sustainer, and Redeemer. Jacob summarizes his entire life in covenant language. Genesis 48:17–19 — Joseph Protests Joseph tries to correct Jacob. But Jacob refuses. “I know, my son, I know.” Covenant Lesson: Spiritual discernment is not determined by physical sight. God’s will is intentional, not accidental. Genesis 48:20 — Ephraim Elevated Jacob declares: “By you Israel will bless, saying, ‘May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.’” Ephraim becomes dominant in northern Israel.

    Genesis 49 - The Blessing of the Twelve Tribes

    Send a text Genesis 49 – Covenant Prophecy: The Blessing of the Twelve Tribes (Part 49 in the “God Keeping Covenant” Series)   🌟 INTRODUCTION Genesis 49 answers a profound covenant question: How does God reveal the destiny of a nation before it is born? Jacob gathers his twelve sons and says: “Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days.” This is prophetic. This is covenant destiny. This is national formation. Theme: God keeps covenant by prophetically declaring the destiny of His people and revealing the coming Messiah through Judah.     Genesis 49:1–2 — A Prophetic Gathering Jacob calls his sons together. This is not casual. This is authoritative. Covenant Lesson: Covenant fathers speak destiny into generations.   Genesis 49:3–4 — Reuben: Instability Reuben was firstborn. But Jacob declares: “Unstable as water, you shall not excel.” Because of past immorality. Covenant Lesson: Privilege without character forfeits blessing.   Genesis 49:5–7 — Simeon & Levi: Violence Jacob condemns their anger and cruelty (Shechem incident). They will be scattered. Covenant Lesson: Uncontrolled anger affects generational destiny.   Genesis 49:8–12 — Judah: The Royal Prophecy This is the centerpiece. Judah receives: Praise from brothersLeadership authorityThe scepterThe promise of Shiloh (Messiah)“The scepter shall not depart from Judah… until Shiloh comes.” This is Messianic.

Covenant Lesson: God assigns territory and influence strategically.   Genesis 49:14–15 — Issachar: Burden-Bearing Strong but submissive. Covenant Lesson: Strength must avoid complacency.   Genesis 49:16–18 — Dan: Judgment Dan will judge Israel. But Jacob cries: “I have waited for your salvation, O Lord!” This interrupts the prophecy. Covenant Insight: Jacob looks forward to ultimate salvation — the Messiah.   Genesis 49:19–21 — Gad, Asher, Naphtali These tribes reflect: WarfareProsperityFreedomCovenant Lesson: Each tribe carries distinct purpose.   Genesis 49:22–26 — Joseph: Fruitfulness Joseph receives expansive blessing: Fruitful branchStrength under attackHelp from the Mighty God of JacobJoseph’s suffering produced strength.

    Genesis 47 - God Sustains Israel in Goshen

    Send a text 📘 Genesis 47 – Covenant Provision: God Sustains Israel in Goshen (Part 47 in the “God Keeping Covenant” Series)   🌟 INTRODUCTION Genesis 47 answers a practical covenant question: How does God provide for His covenant people during widespread crisis? The famine is severe. Egypt is collapsing economically. The world is desperate. Yet Israel thrives in Goshen. Theme: God keeps covenant by sustaining His people during crisis, preserving them through wisdom, and positioning them for future multiplication.   📖 VERSE-BY-VERSE COVENANT INSIGHTS   Genesis 47:1–6 — Israel Settles in Goshen Joseph presents five of his brothers to Pharaoh. Pharaoh grants them: The land of GoshenThe best of the landAuthority over livestockCovenant Lesson: When God opens doors, He secures favor with authority. Israel is protected, separated, and positioned. Goshen becomes: A place of provisionA place of preservationA place of multiplication  Genesis 47:7–10 — Jacob Blesses Pharaoh Jacob stands before Pharaoh and blesses him. Notice: The shepherd blesses the emperor. Covenant Lesson: Covenant authority is spiritual, not political. The greater blesses the lesser (Hebrews 7:7 principle). Even in foreign land, covenant identity remains intact.   Genesis 47:11–12 — Israel Provided For Joseph provides bread for: His fatherHis brothersTheir households  Covenant Lesson: God uses covenant leaders to provide for covenant families.

Egyptians: Spend moneyTrade livestockSell landOffer themselves as servantsCovenant Lesson: The world system collapses under famine — but covenant people remain sustained. Crisis reveals the strength of leadership.   Genesis 47:20–22 — Egypt’s Land Purchased Joseph centralizes Egypt’s land under Pharaoh. Only the priests’ land remains separate. Covenant Insight: God is using Joseph to reshape Egypt’s economy. Joseph does not exploit — he stabilizes.   Genesis 47:23–26 — Joseph Establishes Economic Order Joseph institutes a 20% tax system. This preserves: Food supplyNational stabilityEconomic sustainabilityCovenant Lesson: Godly wisdom includes strategic planning. Spirituality does not eliminate administration — it sanctifies it.   Genesis 47:27 — Israel Multiplies in Goshen “And they were fruitful and increased abundantly.” While Egypt weakens, Israel grows. This fulfills God’s earlier promise: “I will make you a great nation.” Covenant Lesson: God multiplies covenant people even in foreign soil.   Genesis 47:28–31 — Jacob’s Final Request Jacob lives 17 years in Egypt. He makes Joseph swear: Do not bury me in EgyptBury me in CanaanCovenant Lesson: Even in prosperity, Jacob remembers the promise. Egypt is temporary. Canaan is covenant.

    Genesis 45 - I Am Joseph!

    Send a text Genesis 45 – Covenant Reconciliation: “I Am Joseph” (Part 45 in the “God Keeping Covenant” Series)   Genesis 45 is one of the most emotional and redemptive chapters in the Bible. ·       Genesis 37 → betrayal ·       Genesis 42–44 → conviction and testing ·       Genesis 45 → reconciliation and revelation This chapter shows us what covenant grace looks like when hearts are finally ready.

Covenant Lesson: Grace often overwhelms guilty hearts.   Genesis 45:4–8 — Joseph Interprets the Past Through God Joseph says something extraordinary: “It was not you who sent me here, but God.” Joseph does NOT deny their sin — but he reframes the story through God’s sovereignty.
