Matthew 9 ends with Jesus saying, “The harvest is plentiful…”
Matthew 10 begins with Him sending workers into that harvest the disciples.
He gives them authority, not to boast, but to serve.
Jesus says:
“Freely you have received, freely give.”
Yesterday we saw compassion; today we see compassion put into mission.
But Jesus also prepares them for difficulty rejection, opposition, discomfort.
Life in Him is powerful, but it is not always easy.
Still, He assures:
“Do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”
Share something God has blessed you with today — a prayer, a smile, a gift, a word of hope.

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

Is your life built on Christ’s teachings or on convenience?Share this:

DAY 4 – The Wilderness Before the Ministry (Matthew 4)
Before miracles, teachings, and crowds, Jesus went through testing.
The wilderness is not punishment — it is preparation.
Jesus overcame temptation by the Word, showing us that life in Him is sustained by truth, not feelings.
Then He called His first disciples with the invitation that still stands today:
“Follow me…”
Reflection:
LIFE IN HIM is a journey of trust. Are you ready to follow even when you don’t have all the details?Share this:

Day 2 – PREPARE THE WAY
Welcome to Day 2 of Annual Blogmas. This year’s theme is LIFE IN HIM.Matthew 3 opens with John the Baptist crying out in the wilderness. His message was simple yet powerful: Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
LIFE IN HIM means preparation.
Before Jesus began His ministry, the hearts of people had to be made ready.
John reminds us that the life God wants to build in us begins with a turning:
— Turning from sin.
— Turning from self.
— Turning toward God.
When Jesus stepped into the water to be baptised, Heaven confirmed Him with love:
“This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Reflection:
Are there areas God is calling you to prepare? LIFE IN HIM begins with a heart open and ready.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
