When Breakthrough Meets Battle

 

There’s something I’ve noticed about walking with God: the closer you get to your breakthrough, the harder the enemy fights to block your path. It almost feels unfair—you’ve prayed, fasted, sown seeds, and trusted God, and then, right when the answer is on the horizon, distractions, discouragement, and roadblocks start popping up like weeds in a freshly tilled garden.

But here’s the truth: opposition is not a sign that God has forgotten you—it’s confirmation that you are on the right track. The enemy doesn’t fight what isn’t a threat. If your faith wasn’t powerful, if your prayer wasn’t moving heaven, if your blessing wasn’t near, the enemy wouldn’t bother.

Think of Jacob in Genesis 32. He wrestled all night long with God, refusing to let go until the blessing came. That fight left him with a limp, but it also left him with a new name, a new destiny, and undeniable favor. Sometimes we come out of the struggle with scars, but those scars are proof of survival and reminders that God’s hand never left us in the dark.

Maybe today you feel worn out from the fight. Maybe your grip on faith feels weak. Friend, even if all you can do is tie a knot and hold on—do it. Hold on to the promises of God. Hold on to the prayers you’ve prayed. Hold on to the little bit of faith you have left, because Galatians 6:9 tells us that “in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

Your roadblocks are not dead ends—they are setups for testimony. What looks like delay is just God positioning everything in His perfect timing. Joy is still on the other side of this.

Call to Action:

This week, choose one scripture that speaks to your season of struggle. Write it down, memorize it, and declare it over your life daily. Let that word become your weapon in the fight.

The blessing is closer than it feels. Don’t quit now—your morning joy is already on the way.


Unapologetically, G.

Practice Forgiveness for a Peaceful Heart

Image
"Bear with each other and forgive one another… Forgive as the Lord forgave you." -  Colossians 3:13 Forgiveness isn’t always easy, but it’s an essential part of a peaceful and fulfilling life. When someone wrongs us, the initial reaction might be to hold onto the hurt, replaying moments of pain and frustration. Yet, Colossians 3:13 reminds us that just as God has forgiven us, we too are called to forgive others. This act of forgiveness brings healing not only to the relationship but also to our own hearts. Holding onto grudges often weighs us down, filling our minds with anger, bitterness, and stress. Forgiveness, on the other hand, allows us to let go of this burden. When we forgive, we’re choosing freedom from resentment and moving forward in peace. As difficult as it may seem, forgiveness doesn’t mean excusing or forgetting the wrongdoing; it simply means releasing the control it has over our lives. It's about finding peace by trusting that God will give us the strengt...

The Power of Listening

Image
"Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry." James 1:19 Listening is a gift that connects and strengthens families across generations. When we truly listen, we show love and respect, giving younger generations the wisdom and guidance they need for their journey. For the older generation, this listening brings a deep satisfaction, knowing that their experiences and lessons add value to their family and are cherished by those they love. "Lord, help me listen with a loving and patient heart. May I encourage the younger and older generations alike to see the value in each other's lives and experiences, growing together in love and wisdom. Amen." UNAPOLOGETICALLY, G

Mending Brokenness: God’s Call to Forgiveness and Unity

Image
  We live in a world full of division—families torn apart, friendships ended, churches split, and individuals walking around with silent, unhealed wounds. Brokenness is the enemy’s favorite weapon because a divided people are a weakened people. But God calls us to a different way. Through Christ, we are offered healing, forgiveness, and realignment. What the enemy tries to destroy, God desires to rebuild in love and unity. Forgiveness is one of the hardest yet most freeing acts of obedience. It’s not about ignoring pain but refusing to let pain dictate the direction of your life. When we forgive, we unlock healing not just for ourselves, but for everyone connected to us. Unity is the heartbeat of heaven. Scripture reminds us that “a house divided cannot stand” (Mark 3:25) .  This isn’t just about households—it’s about communities, churches, and even our inner life. The cracks in our hearts are mended when we choose love over bitterness, forgiveness over revenge, and unity ove...
