The Two Friends You Must Let Go of in 2026

The Two Friends You Must Let Go of in 2026

by | Jan 28, 2026 | Christian Walk, Healing & Freedom

There are two companions many of us carry quietly, often without realizing the damage they cause. They may feel familiar and even justified at times, but they are not your friends.
Their names are murmuring and grumbling.

They will make you unhappy & never help you grow!

They will neither build you nor others.

They will always make you the victim.

They will destroy your life and let you down.

The more you hangout with them, the more likely they will lead you into depression.

In 2026, if you want to soar in Christ, these two have to go.

Let Go

A Real-Life Picture
I had a colleague, she would always murmur and grumble about work. She would do it so often and whenever her boss asked her why she was late, she would keep silent for a few seconds and after the boss steps away she would grumble.

Over time, her attitude frustrated everyone around her. Nothing changed, not because solutions weren’t possible, but because murmuring never fixes anything. It only poisons the atmosphere.

That’s when I realized this is exactly what God despised when Israelites grumbled in the wilderness.

God Hears Your Grumblings
The Israelites saw with their eyes where God put plagues on Egypt, opened up the red sea for them and fought for them and delivered them from years of slavery and oppression.

The Word of God says , “Israel saw the great power that the Lord used against the Egyptians, so the people feared the Lord, and they believed in the Lord and in His servant Moses” (Exodus 14:31).

Yet, only days later, they began to complain. Instead of asking God, they grumbled against Moses and Aaron.

What’s amazing is this: although they complained about the men of God, God said,

“He has heard your grumbling against the Lord.” (Exodus 16:7–8)

Another verse confirms it:
“How long shall this wicked congregation grumble against me? I have heard the grumblings of the people of Israel.” (Numbers 14:27, ESV)

Murmuring may feel harmless, but God hears it clearly.

2026: A Year to Change
If murmuring and grumbling have quietly become part of your life, let 2026 be the year you release them.

God doesn’t ask us to pretend life is perfect. He invites us to bring our concerns to Him instead of rehearsing complaints that keep us stuck.

The Word of God says in Philippians 2:14-16 “Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life…”

Reflect on this: Are there things in my life I grumble or complain about instead of praying to God about it?

Prophecies Not Coming to Pass? This Could Be the Reason

Prophecies Not Coming to Pass? This Could Be the Reason

by | Dec 18, 2025 | Christian Walk, Healing & Freedom

Every year we receive a prophetic Word for that year that leaves us in awe. But in our hearts, many of us wonder, “Lord, how is this going to be?”
You must have received a Word for you in the previous year. But, you saw your life very different from that Word. You must have even said, “Lord, this is what you promised in the last season, and I didn’t see it happen.”
So the next year when a prophetic Word comes to you, you are wondering, “God how is this going to happen?”
Promises

Taste (And Not Test) the Word of God
Let me tell you — the problem is not from the Lord’s side. It is never from the Lord’s side because God’s Word never fails.
The real problem is when you receive a prophetic Word, you are analysing it. You are trying to test the Word of God to see whether it’s going to work.
Many of us are saying, “Let’s see how this year is going to unfold because our man or woman of God is saying that this is the prophetic Word for this year.”
But we are not supposed to test the Word; we are supposed to taste the Word of God. (Psalms 34:8)

Your Answered Prayer Glorifies God.
God in His love and compassion, completely overlooks your past, and uses men and women of God to come to you to start something fresh, and He equips you with a prophetic Word for that year.
When God says this is how it is going to be, it is a done deal from the Lord’s side. Now it is up to us.
We don’t sit and test that Word, but we take that Word, we believe God and we start running with that Word. And as we do that, we will see the manifestation of that Word.
Jesus said in John 14:13, “And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” Isn’t that so beautiful? That means God is saying that when your prayers are answered, He is glorified in that.
God is not fighting your desires. In fact, when you receive an answer, God’s chest swells with pride. He’s so happy. He celebrates it. So that is how important our prayers are to Jesus, and He takes it seriously.
As we are nearing 2026, when we receive a prophetic Word for the new year, let us know that when He speaks it is done. And all we need to do is believe and run with that Word.
Shalom.

How Do I Stop Overthinking and Racing Thoughts?

How Do I Stop Overthinking and Racing Thoughts?

by | Dec 8, 2025 | Christian Walk, Healing & Freedom

“Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” (Genesis 6:5)

 The above verse talks about a time where God was about to destroy the whole world. It says how every intent of the thoughts of their hearts were “only evil continually”. 

 It was not random thoughts causing a flutter, but thoughts that were “continually” evil. 

 If you are continually in a state of anxiety, negativity and lack of confidence, then that’s a problem. Because, brick by brick the enemy is making a stronghold in your life.

 Now you are unable to move forward because you are caught up in this stronghold, and you don’t know the way out. 

 Finding yourself in this situation? Try Thought Seeding

Thoughts

Ever heard of cloud seeding? It’s a technique where certain substances are dispersed into clouds to encourage rainfall.

 Thought seeding is similar to that. If you can hit your mind with the Word of God, it will cause rain from Heaven to come in favor of you and destroy every strong wall that is around you. 

 When David wanted to build a temple for the Lord, that thought became a determination in his heart. And God acknowledged it. (1 Kings 8:17-18 AMP)

 In the end, although it was Solomon who built the temple, Jesus was still called the seed of David because David’s heart and his thoughts were very different. 

 So I want to encourage you: you are made in the image and likeness of God. You are much loved. You carry greatness within you. There is so much that God wants to do through your life but He cannot do it if you keep thinking small about yourself. 

 There has to be a point where you say, “I hear God saying this and I know that He will do exactly what He said.” No matter how impossible a situation may look, change your thinking because when you change your thinking, you make place for God’s presence to usher in.

 Philippians 4:8 encourages you to keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real. That’s the Word of God. Honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. The Bible encourages us not just to think about these things, but to keep your thoughts continually fixed on such things.

 Because the Bible says, As a man thinks in his heart, so is he (Proverbs 23:7). You cannot go beyond your thinking. 

 Remember, when you think what is right, you attract supernatural help in your life. 

 Shalom.

The One Thing You Should NEVER Do!

The One Thing You Should NEVER Do!

by | Oct 8, 2025 | Christian Walk, Healing & Freedom

Girl, can you say this with me? 

Never! Never doubt the Word of God.

You can doubt your feelings, you can doubt your experience. You can even doubt your friends.

But never doubt the Word of God.

But sometimes when we go through a problem for a long time, we may begin to doubt the Word of God. We may begin to wonder why is God not working in my life?

word

Maybe you see that in a particular area you have not received your breakthrough for a long time. The devil will even lie to you that God is ok with you being blessed in all the other areas, but this area He has spared. 

That’s what he said to Eve. He showed her how God had given them the entire garden but spared that one tree. 

Yet Romans 8:32 says, “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” 

When Joshua and the Israelites were finally in the promised land, we see Joshua testifying how not one Word that the Lord spoke had failed.

“Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one word of them has failed.” (Joshua 23:14)

So when you don’t see a breakthrough in an area, you need to get into the Word and start reasoning and asking like Gideon. 

“Gideon said to Him, “O my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us?” (Judges 6:13)

You need to investigate and wrestle with God asking, “My God is good; He gave me His Son Jesus, and if I am not seeing a breakthrough in my life in this area what is it that is blocking it?”

And you will find the answers not from your friends or Google, but from the time you spend reading the Word of God. 

This is where you will receive the keys to open every stubborn door in your life. 

Remember, if there is one thing that is unshakeable it is the Word of God. This is the only foundation that will stand the storms that come your way and make you overcome it.

You Are Wearying God, And This Is How…

You Are Wearying God, And This Is How…

by | Sep 18, 2025 | Christian Walk, Healing & Freedom

Can the Almighty God who created the heavens and the earth get tired? Do you know that the Bible says that He does get tired? Want to know how? This is what Malachi 2:17 says:

“You have wearied the LORD with your words”

You can weary God with your words.

Again Malachi 3:13-14 says,

“Your words have been harsh against Me,” Says the LORD, “Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against You?’ You have said, ‘It is useless to serve God; What profit is it that we have kept His ordinance, And that we have walked as mourners Before the LORD of hosts?”

your words

We may not outrightly speak like this. But when we say things like I am not good enough, I cannot do it, I am a loser, you are wearying God with your words, and thereby limiting God with your words. 

God wants to do big things in your life. God wants to give you nations(Acts 2:8). But when we speak things like How is it going to be possible? I can’t even speak properly, I’m not qualified, you are limiting God.

Do you know that one of the names of God is, “I Am”? And how many times do we take the name of the Lord in vain? When you say I am not worthy, I am incapable, I am so ugly, I am not beautiful like her or gifted like her, you are taking the Lord’s name in vain and you are wearing your God.

Your words are the only extent to which God will work in your life. If you think God can do only this much in your life, that will become the limit to which God will work in your life. 

Consider this: whatever you see God did for anyone in the Word of God is an invitation for you. If God can do it for Abraham, He can do it for you. If He can do it for Ruth, He can do it for you.

Only, never limit God by your own words.

Unveiling the Power of Service + New Launch: Why The Devil Hates To See You Serve

Unveiling the Power of Service + New Launch: Why The Devil Hates To See You Serve

by | Feb 18, 2025 | Christian Walk, Healing & Freedom

In God’s kingdom, there are certain principles, which when activated brings the blessings of God on your life. One such principle that will bring kingdom exploits into your life is SERVICE. And the best thing about serving in the house of God is that you don’t need any special gifts or talents for it. Anyone can serve.

Because the devil knows that this is a principle that will cause you to reap exploits in your life, he twists it and makes it look bad so that you walk away from it.

“..Jesus, knowing that the Father had put everything into His hands, and that He had come from God and was [now] returning to God, got up from supper, took off His [outer] robe, and taking a [servant’s] towel, He tied it around His waist. Then He poured water into the basin and began washing the disciples’ feet and wiping them with the towel which was tied around His waist.” (John 13:3-5 AMP)

Jesus had the power to show off because He knew that the Father had put everything into His hands. But He shows it off by doing something very cool— He served!

He took off His outer garment and began to do the job of a servant. Washing someone’s feet was the job of the least of the servants. And this is what Jesus did. And this is the attitude God wants us to have.

What is service?

Service is God’s hidden power.

Service is love in action.

Service is seeing a need in the house of God and fulfilling it.

The House of God is His bride, His body and God holds it of great value. When you start serving in the House of God, you will learn what no seminar or Bible study can teach you.

Want to know more about how to serve in the House of God efficiently and with excellence? We have an exclusive ebook that will give you in depth understanding and insights into everything you need to know about serving in the House of God.

Written by Author Kim D’Souza, Why The Devil Hates To See You Serve will open your eyes to why the enemy fights the principle of serving. It will also show you how you can attract God’s favour and unlock hidden treasures in your life through service. Bonus! In this book, you will discover 10 principles of serving to help you serve efficiently in God’s house.

With this resource you will be fully equipped to serve in God’s house with the right heart and the right understanding.
