Coming from Matthew 13 where Jesus teaches about the heart. Matthew 14 shows the disciples’ hearts in real situations again.
John the Baptist is killed.
Jesus feeds five thousand.
Then, in the quiet of the night, a storm rises again.
This time, Jesus comes walking on water.
Peter steps out, bold and courageous… until fear creeps in.
Jesus catches him and says:
“O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” Matthew 14:31
LIFE IN HIM is not a life without fear , it is a life where faith wins over fear.
Yesterday was learning the Word.
Today is living it out in real storms.
Now, write down one fear you want Jesus to help you overcome. Pray over it and take one small step of faith today.

🌧️ DAY 14 – When Fear Meets Faith (Matthew 14)

DAY 11 – When You Don’t Understand Everything (Matthew 11)
In Matthew 10, Jesus sent the disciples out with authority.
In Matthew 11, we find John the Baptist, the same man who prepared the way, struggling with doubts in prison.
He sends messengers asking, “Are you the One?”
Jesus responds gently:
“Go and tell John… the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed…” Matthew 11:4–5
Sometimes LIFE IN HIM means trusting even when we don’t understand the season we are in.
Then Jesus gives one of the most comforting invitations in Scripture:
“Come to me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
Yesterday was a mission.
Today is a rest.
Both are part of Life in Him.
Take 5 quiet minutes today. Breathe deeply and surrender one burden to Jesus.Share this:

DAY 7 – The Foundation of Life 🕊️ 🕊️ 🕊️ (Matthew 7)
Jesus ends the Sermon on the Mount with a call to choose our foundation.
Two builders.
Two houses.
One storm.
The one who hears and does His word stands firm.
Life in Him is built on obedience, not emotion.
Jesus also teaches about:
Asking and receiving
Seeking and finding
Knocking and open doors
The narrow way
True and false fruits
Reflection:
Is your life built on Christ’s teachings or on convenience?Share this:

DAY 5 – Kingdom Life, Kingdom Heart (Matthew 5)
Matthew 5 unveils what many call the “Constitution of the Kingdom.”
Jesus teaches not just about doing right, but being right from the heart.
The Beatitudes show us the kind of life He blesses:
The humble
The pure in heart
The merciful
The peacemakers
LIFE IN HIM is a transformation of character, not just conduct.
We are also called:
The light of the world
The salt of the earth
Meaning: Life in Him influences everything around us.
Reflection:
Which Beatitude do you need grace to grow in today?Share this:

Blogmas Idea 2025 – A Journey Through the Gospel of Matthew.
Matthew-A-Thon Announcement
Greetings on the commencement of a new month!
I extend my sincere gratitude for the continuous support over the past 11 months, expressed through views, follows, shares, and subscriptions.
I am excited to announce the beginning of Season 5 of Annual Blogmas, a 25-day event dedicated to celebrating Christmas. This year’s theme is LIFT HIM UP, and the format this year will be video-based. Each day, leading up to Christmas, I will be reading a chapter from the Gospel of Saint Matthew.
A short overview of this writer – Matthew, a disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ, called by Christ Himself from his tax collecting booth, serves as the focal point for this year’s exploration. Despite being one of the quieter apostles, Matthew’s prolific writing shines through.
Today being Day 1, I will delve into Chapter 1 and 2 at 6 pm here and on my Facebook page, as we collectively embark on this journey to LIFT HIM UP.#Matthew_a_thon #2025Blogmas #lifthimup
