Welcome to Risen Grace Ministries!
Before Christ, our lives often mirrored an endless pursuit of fulfillment through fleeting things—approval, possessions, or achievements. Yet, all these roads lead to emptiness. You are no longer bound by the empty pursuits of this world. In Christ, *you are loved, accepted, and redeemed. You are set on a new path*, one illuminated by His Spirit and purpose. Whatever weighs on your heart today, bring it to Him and trust in the work He is doing in you. His redemption frees you to walk in the fullness of His love and Grace. Christ’s sacrifice wasn’t made with gold or silver—treasures the world holds dear—but with His own Blood. His payment wasn’t temporary or insufficient; it was eternal, final, and immeasurable in value. Through Him, we’ve been redeemed from a purposeless existence and brought into a life filled with meaning and hope.
.... *but the precious Blood of Christ—who like a spotless, unblemished lamb was sacrificed for us.* 1 Peter 1:19 TPT

Job had endured unimaginable suffering—loss of wealth, family, and health. In the midst of his pain, God spoke, asking, "Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?" (Job 38:4). *These words weren’t meant to dismiss Job’s anguish but to provide perspective*. It’s natural to question God in difficult times. Like Job, we sometimes wrestle with “why” or “how long.” Yet, God’s response reminds us of His infinite wisdom and power. *He is the Creator who holds the universe in place and the Sustainer who lovingly cares for His creation—you (we're)included*. The One who laid the earth’s foundation is the same God who knows your struggles and surrounds you with His love. Trust Him, for He sees the bigger picture and works all things for your good. Take a moment to pause, reflect, and be grateful for His faithfulness. He holds your life in His hands, and His plans are always perfect.

To the believer, the Name of Jesus is not just a comforting word; it is a weapon, a shield, and a refuge. When we speak His Name in faith, it carries the full authority of heaven. Demons tremble, sickness flees, and peace is restored. This power isn’t reserved for a select few; it is available to all who abide in His Word and trust in His promises. The more we align our lives with Him and let His Word saturate our hearts, the more we experience the authority of His Name. There is no situation too dark, no burden too heavy, and no challenge too great that the Name of Jesus cannot overcome. His Name carries the weight of His finished work on the cross and His eternal reign as King of kings. Today, speak the Name of Jesus over your life. Declare His victory over your circumstances. Whether you face illness, fear, or uncertainty, remember: Jesus is exalted above all, and His Name brings hope, healing, and power.
so that in the name of Jesus everyone should bow in respect, whether in heaven or on earth or under the earth, Philippians 2:10 FBV

What feels bitter in the moment often becomes the foundation for growth, character, and a closer relationship with Him. *It was definitely for my own good I went through this bitter experience. You in your love saved me from the pit of destruction and you have forgiven all my sins*. Isaiah 38:17 (FBV) Notice how Isaiah shifts his focus to God's love: *You in your love saved me from the pit of destruction*. God's love is not passive; it is active, rescuing, and relentless. He does not leave us to face destruction alone. Instead, He reaches into our brokenness and pulls us toward life and restoration. This is the essence of Grace—a love that saves us when we cannot save ourselves. You have forgiven all my sins." Beyond physical healing or deliverance from trials, the greatest gift is the restoration of our relationship with God. No matter what we've done or how far we've strayed, His forgiveness is complete and unconditional. If you're walking through a bitter season, take heart.His love is greater than any trial, and His Grace is sufficient for every need.

For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ,Colossians 1:19 NLT
All the fullness of God dwells in Jesus Christ. This means that everything we need—Grace, Strength, Peace, Wisdom, and Love—flows through Him. Through Christ, we experience the totality of God’s character—*His mercy that forgives us, His power that sustains us, and His presence that never leaves us*. When you face challenges, remember that Jesus is fully equipped to meet your every need. *In Christ, you are never left with a partial solution or insufficient resources*. His fullness is enough for every aspect of your life. Moreover, this fullness isn’t distant or unreachable. Jesus, the one in whom all the fullness dwells, has drawn near to you. you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone or in your own strength. *The fullness of God is in Christ, and Christ is with you*.

When you cannot see how God is moving, remember His past wonders. Reflect on the times He has shown His Grace and power in your life or the lives of others.These reminders strengthen our faith and renew our hope. God’s wonders are *not always* grand displays of power like splitting seas or calming storms. *Sometimes,they are the quiet, personal miracles,healing a broken heart and relationship, providing in a time of need, or giving peace that surpasses understanding*.These, too, are His mighty works “*You are the God who does wonderful things*! – Psalm 77:14 (FBV) reminds you that God is still in the business of doing the miraculous.His might is not just a story from ancient times; it is alive and active in your life. He has not changed, and His power is as active now as it was then. Trust Him to work wonders, both seen and unseen, as you place your faith in His unchanging power.

“Because You have been my help, therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.” — Psalm 63:7 Life’s challenges can leave us searching for a place of refuge—a place where we can find rest and reassurance.God is our help, and under the shadow of His wings, we can rejoice. God embraces us with His unfailing love and tender care. No matter how difficult the wilderness may seem, His wings are always stretched out, offering protection and comfort to those who seek Him. Take a moment to reflect on how Lord Jesus Christ has been your help in the past. Think of the ways He has provided, protected, and guided you through trials. Let those memories strengthen your faith and give you hope for today. When the shadows of doubt or fear creep in, remember that you are not alone.

“ *And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ* .” - 1 Thessalonians 5:23 In this beautiful prayer from Paul, we find a picture of God’s care for the entirety of our being—Spirit, Soul, and Body. This verse reminds us that God’s work in us is holistic. He is not only concerned with our spiritual growth but also our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. He desires that every part of who we are be preserved and made whole, reflecting His glory. What a comfort it is to know that God’s peace is both our starting point and our sustaining power. He sanctifies us wholly, meaning He sets us apart for His purposes, and He keeps us blameless until the day of Christ’s return. Even in moments of failure or weakness, His Grace remains sufficient to uphold us. Trust in the God who preserves. Commit every part of yourself—Spirit, Soul, and Body—into His faithful hands. He is able to guard what we entrust to Him.

Life often presents seasons of darkness—moments of uncertainty, loss, or pain that seem to envelop our hearts. Yet Psalm 112:4 offers a powerful reminder *that even in these shadowed times, light will dawn for the upright*. The promise of light does not mean life will always be free from struggles. Instead, it assures us that God’s presence will pierce through our darkness, bringing clarity, hope, and peace. This light is not something we generate; it is a gift from the One who is light Himself. Are you facing a dark moment today? Remember that the light of God is near. *His Word is a lamp to your feet* Psalm 119:105, *His Spirit is your comforter* John 14:16, and *His love never fails* Lamentations 3:22-23. Trust in His timing, for *dawn always breaks after the longest night*, no matter how deep the darkness may feel, the light of God’s Grace will find you.

Life often feels like a rollercoaster—moments of soaring joy followed by valleys of disappointment. When hopes are dashed and dreams seem out of reach, it’s easy to feel discouraged. Yet in those low moments, Psalm 119:116 offers us a lifeline: “*Uphold me according to your promise, and I shall live; and let me not be disappointed in my hope*.” These words remind us that even in our struggles, God’s love and faithfulness remain constant. Some experiences, though painful, can be an opportunity to deepen our trust in God. *What we desire may not always align with what is best for us, but God’s plan is unique*, perfectly designed for each of our lives. Instead of wrestling against unmet expectations, let’s choose to rest in His embrace, trusting His perfect timing. Shake off discouragement, keep moving forward, and fix your eyes on the One who holds your future. You are not alone—God’s promises are true, His grace is sufficient, and His love will always sustain you.

the Lord, do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day."Isaiah 27:3 God’s promise in this verse is a tender assurance of His unceasing care. “I, the Lord, do keep it” reminds us that He takes full responsibility for guarding and preserving us. *His care is not distant or delegated; it is personal, deliberate, and constant*. In a world filled with uncertainty, we are not left to fend for ourselves. God watches over us with a steady hand and a vigilant eye, ensuring that nothing can harm us beyond His sovereign control. The promise continues: “I will water it every moment.” This speaks of God’s constant provision and nourishment. He pours out His Grace daily, refreshing us through His Word, strengthening us in prayer, and uplifting us by His Spirit. Even when we are unaware, God is faithfully nurturing our souls. Lastly, He assures us, “*I will keep it night and day*.” His protection is unwavering, both in seasons of light and in times of darkness. Whatever challenges you may face, rest in the truth that the same God who keeps His vineyard keeps you. *You are His treasured possession, shielded by His power and sustained by His love*.

“Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.” — John 13:1 This verse reminds us that His love is not fleeting or conditional but steadfast, enduring “to the end.” When we face trials, doubts, or seasons of loneliness, John 13:1 reminds us that Jesus’ love for us is just as enduring. He loves us in our failures, fears, and uncertainties. *His love doesn’t depend on our worthiness but flows from His unchanging character*. Just as He loved His disciples to the very end, He loves us with the same divine commitment today. Take comfort in this truth: You are loved completely, eternally, and without reservation. Whatever you are facing, Jesus is walking with you,His love never gives up, never grows weary, and never falters.

"And now I commend you to God and to *the word of his Grace*, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified." — Acts 20:32 Paul describes the *Word of God* as the “ *Word of His Grace*.” This reminds us that Scripture is not merely a collection of instructions or stories but a living message of God’s unmerited favor and love. *The Word of Grace reveals God’s character, His promises, and His plan for our lives. It assures us that even in the darkest times, God is with us, working all things for our good. Paul also reminds us that God’s Word leads us to an inheritance—a glorious future prepared for all who belong to Him. This inheritance isn’t just something to look forward to in eternity; *it’s a present reality*. As children of God, we already experience the riches of His grace: peace, joy, purpose, and the assurance of His presence. When you feel discouraged, remember that you are part of a sanctified family, set apart for God’s glory. *Your inheritance is secure, not because of what you’ve done but because of what Christ has accomplished on the cross on your behalf*.

*And now at last they know that everything I have is a gift from you*, John 17:7 TPT Scriptures reminds us that all the Blessings, Truths, and Provisions in our lives come from God through Christ. Everything Jesus taught and revealed was not merely His own initiative *but directly from the heart of the Father*. His life and mission were a perfect expression of God's love and purposes for humanity. When we feel uncertain, weary, or doubtful, we can take comfort in knowing that God’s gifts through Christ are intentional and sufficient. The love, forgiveness, and truth Jesus brought into the world are meant to anchor our souls. Take heart in knowing that Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection were not random acts but part of the divine plan to draw us closer to God.

“...because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.” – 1 John 4:4 (NLT) The pressures of life, the lies of the enemy, and the weight of circumstances can leave us questioning if we’re *strong enough to endure*. The spirit in the world—the forces of evil, negativity, and deception—may try to shake you, but they cannot overcome the Spirit of God. God’s Spirit is not just a distant presence; He resides within you. He is the source of strength when you feel weak, peace when you feel anxious, and courage when fear tries to creep in. His power far exceeds anything the enemy can throw your way. This isn’t a promise that life will be free of challenges, but it is a promise that you are never facing them alone. Rest in His strength, and allow His presence to fill you with peace.

For God has said, ‘I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.’” – Hebrews 13:5 (NLT) Consider the weight of the words, “I will never fail you.” God is the Creator of the universe, the One who holds all things together. He cannot fail because His power, wisdom, and love are limitless.What a comfort to know that the *One who is guiding your life is incapable of letting you down* ! Then, He adds, “I will never abandon you.” Abandonment is one of the deepest human fears, but God addresses it with absolute assurance. *His love is not conditional.when life gets messy. Instead, He draws closer, offering His strength, grace, and peace*. Take heart in this promise: God will never fail you. He will never leave your side. Let this truth sink deep into your spirit and bring peace to your heart. When fear whispers that you are alone, when doubt questions if you are enough, let God’s unchanging word speak louder: “I am with you always.”

“For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.” – Philippians 2:13 One of the most comforting truths in Scripture is that God is actively working in our lives. Philippians 2:13 reminds us that *we are not alone in our spiritual journey*. It is God Himself who stirs our hearts and strengthens our hands to do what pleases Him. Sometimes, we may feel inadequate, overwhelmed by life's challenges, or uncertain about our purpose. But this verse reassures us that our faith and obedience are not solely dependent on our strength or determination. God is at work within us, shaping our desires and empowering our actions to align with His divine will. His Spirit dwells within every believer, guiding, teaching, and transforming us from the inside out. Even when we stumble or face setbacks, God does not abandon His work. He is faithful to complete what He has started (Philippians 1:6).

Philippians 2:13 offers a comforting truth: the transformative power in your life doesn’t come solely from your effort—*it comes from God Himself*. God is not distant, watching from afar as you struggle to live according to His will. He is actively working in you, shaping your desires and strengthening you to live a life that pleases Him. This means you are never alone in your journey of faith. *Even when you falter, His grace sustains you, His Spirit empowers you, and His love motivates you*. Notice the twofold promise in this verse: God gives you both the desire and the power. He plants within you a heart that longs to follow Him, and He equips you with the strength to do so. *This process is not about perfection but about progress*. It is God’s work in you, and He will complete it (Philippians 1:6). God is not just calling you to live a life that pleases Him; He is equipping you for it.

The God of heaven will give us success. We, his servants, will start rebuilding. .. – Nehemiah 2:20 In our own lives, we often face situations where the task seems too big or the obstacles too many. Whether it’s rebuilding a relationship, overcoming a personal challenge, or stepping out in faith for something new, the road can feel overwhelming. *But Nehemiah’s words remind us that our success doesn’t depend on our abilities or circumstances; it depends on God*. God calls us to be faithful, to start rebuilding even when the walls seem impossibly broken. He promises to strengthen us for the work and to prosper His plans through us. Like Nehemiah, we may encounter critics and doubts, both external and internal. But we can stand firm, knowing that the God of heaven is with us. Trust in His power to bring success to the work He has called you to do. Step forward with faith, and watch Jesus Christ transform the ruins into something beautiful for His glory.

Life often brings setbacks—unexpected challenges that feel like roadblocks to our plans. But with God, setbacks are not the end of the road; they are divine detours, designed to teach, mold, and redirect us toward His perfect will. Think about Joseph in the Bible. Sold into slavery by his brothers and falsely accused by Potiphar’s wife, he faced one setback after another. Yet, those detours led him to a position of great authority in Egypt, where he was able to save countless lives, including his family (Genesis 50:20). What seemed like a series of misfortunes was part of God’s grand design to fulfill His purpose. How we view our trials makes all the difference. Instead of asking, "Why is this happening to me?" ask, "What can I learn from this? How can I grow closer to God through this?" Remember, God sees the bigger picture. While we may focus on the immediate discomfort, God is orchestrating a future filled with hope and blessings (Jeremiah 29:11).

As co-heirs with Christ, we share in every Blessing He secured through His sacrifice. *Grace is God’s generous gift, and faith is the open hand that receives it*, saying, “*Lord, I trust You and accept all You have for me*.” Rest in the assurance that God’s favor is yours, not because of what you’ve done, but because of who He is.

Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them or abhor them so as to destroy them completely, breaking my covenant with them. I am the Lord their God. Leviticus 26:44 NIV The faithfulness of God shines brightly against the backdrop of human failure. but even when Israel’s sins led them into exile, God's heart remained steadfast. His covenant with His people was unshakable because it rested on His character, not their performance. God's faithfulness is rooted in His identity: "I am the LORD their God." He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Just as He kept His promises to Israel, He will keep His promises to you. Through Christ, we have the ultimate assurance of God’s covenant love. His blood secures our place in His family, and His Spirit guarantees His presence within us. Take heart, beloved. Even when you feel unworthy or defeated, God’s love remains unchanging. His mercy covers your failures, and His grace empowers you to start anew. Trust in His faithfulness, for He will never leave you nor forsake you.

All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as He pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back His hand or say to Him: 'What have you done?'Daniel 4:35 What comfort it is to know that no one can thwart God’s plans or question His purposes! He is the Creator who holds all things together, the One who sees the end from the beginning. *Even when we don’t understand His ways, we can trust His heart. He is working all things for His glory and our ultimate good (Romans 8:28)*. This truth is especially comforting in seasons of uncertainty or difficulty. When we feel powerless, we can rest in the assurance that God’s hand is at work. No situation is too big for Him, no detail too small for His attention. His sovereignty is a refuge for our Soul, a reminder that we are never alone or forgotten. Instead of resisting or questioning His will, we are invited to surrender and trust, knowing that our lives are in the hands of a loving and all-powerful mighty Jesus Christ.

To Him, *we are not ordinary but precious*—so valuable that He spares and saves us as His beloved children. Assurance of His Protection The promise that God will "spare them" assures us of His Mercy and Grace. Even when we falter, *His love remains steadfast, and He shields us with the same care a father has for his son.* You are one of His jewels, cherished and protected.

He stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. - Isa 27:8 God who is deeply invested in shaping His people. He does not abandon or destroy but works to refine and restore. *God allows challenges to remove what hinders our spiritual growth*. The reference to the east wind—a strong and often harsh wind in biblical symbolism— wind clears away the debris, preparing the way for new life. In our trials, we can trust that God is building us, not casting us off but calling us deeper into His purpose. Be encouraged that the hardships you face are not signs of *God’s abandonment but of His attention*. He sees the potential within you and is working to refine you for His glory. Remember, the same God who allows the wind to blow also controls its power and duration. He is always in control, and His plans for you are good.

God declares a transformative new covenant where *His law is written directly on our hearts and minds*. This is a deeply personal act, showing His commitment to not just guide us but to dwell within us, shaping our lives from the inside out. When life feels overwhelming or when you struggle to walk in obedience, remember that God's Spirit is actively at work in you. He has not left you to strive on your own. His law in your heart is not a burden but a delight, because it is infused with His Love, Grace, and Empowerment. This promise also reassures us of our identity: “ *I will be their God, and they will be my people*.” In Christ, we belong. *We are loved, chosen, and secure in Him*. No matter how far we stray or how unworthy we feel, *God's covenant is unbreakable*.

"Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Psalm 73:25-26 "Whom have I in heaven but You?" Scripture reminds us that *God is our ultimate treasure, the source of true peace and joy*. Heaven’s greatest wonder is His presence, and nothing on earth compares to His constant love and provision. "My flesh and my heart fail." In moments of weakness, whether physical or emotional, we can turn to God. *These challenges are opportunities to rely on His unfailing Strength and Grace*. "But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." God satisfies every need and sustains us through all circumstances. *He is our refuge, anchor, and eternal hope*. Today, let this truth comfort you: no matter what you face, God is enough.

To look to God means to fix our eyes on Him in faith, trust, and dependence. It’s an intentional act of shifting our focus from our struggles to His goodness. In this act of surrender, the psalmist assures us of two beautiful truths: radiance and freedom from shame. Radiance: This isn’t a superficial glow but a deep, inner transformation. When we draw near to God, His light reflects on us, much like Moses’ face shone after encountering Him. *This radiance comes from the assurance of His presence, love, and faithfulness. It’s a joy and peace that transcends understanding*. Freedom from Shame: Shame has a way of binding us—reminding us of our failures and shortcomings. But when we look to God, we are reminded of His Grace. He doesn’t see us through the lens of our past mistakes; instead, He sees us through the righteousness of Christ. *In His presence, shame dissolves into the confidence of being fully known and fully loved*. Today, whatever burdens you may be carrying, take a moment to lift your eyes to God. Let His light fill your heart, chasing away the shadows of fear, guilt, or despair. He is faithful to meet you, to make you radiant, and to remind you that in Him, there is no shame—only Love, Grace, and the promise of His unfailing presence.

"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." Psalm 147:3 The Lord is described here as one who binds up wounds—as a *skillful healer* who tenderly and precisely addresses each pain, tending to our hearts in a way only He can. This means He sees every hurt and knows each one by name.God does not simply leave us to bear our brokenness alone; He actively moves toward us in love and compassion to bring healing.He patiently cares for us, knowing that real healing is often a process. If you’re feeling brokenhearted today, take comfort in knowing that you are not alone. *Jesus Christ understands the depth of your pain. Let Him draw close and invite Him to work within the wounds that feel unfixable*. He will not only heal you but also strengthen and restore you as He gently binds up every hurt. In His hands, there is hope, and in His care, there is true healing for the brokenhearted.

"The LORD caused the Egyptians to look favorably on the Israelites, and they gave the Israelites whatever they asked for. So they stripped the Egyptians of their wealth!"Exodus 12:36 (NLT) - Sometimes we find ourselves in difficult, even oppressive situations where freedom seems distant. In those moments, it’s easy to feel abandoned or forgotten. Yet, this verse reminds us that God is never limited by our circumstances. He can open doors of Blessing, even in unlikely places, to provide for our needs. This account is not just a story of liberation but also a reminder that God cares for the details of our lives. *He doesn’t want us to move forward empty*; He equips us with what we need. Like the Israelites, *God may surprise us by turning hearts and bringing favor from unexpected sources*. If you’re facing a season of uncertainty, feeling trapped by your own circumstances, take comfort in knowing that God can work through anyone and anything. When He leads you out, He won’t leave you empty. Instead, He’ll provide what you need, even in ways you might never expect. Trust Him to bring favor in the midst of challenge, to turn things around, and to make sure you’re equipped for the journey ahead.

In a world brimming with noise,fake news and distraction, finding clarity and purpose can often feel like walking through a fog. Yet in these moments, God offers us a profound comfort: His guiding truth and His personal teaching.David's plea in Psalm 25:5 " *Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day* ." is both humble and powerful, inviting God to lead and teach him because he recognizes that *only God holds the true path to peace,wisdom, and salvation*. God’s truth is steadfast, unchanging, and reliable—a foundation in times when so much else seems to shift. But not only does He lead us in His truth, He also teaches us, shaping our hearts and minds to understand His ways. His guidance is not impersonal; it is intimate, shaped by His understanding of our unique journeys, strengths, and struggles. He knows the paths we take and is ready to guide us, step by step. *You lead Lord Jesus, and to rest in the assurance that You know the way even when I cannot see it*. Amen.

Isaiah 12:2 - “*Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation*.” God Himself is our salvation— The One who provides daily refuge and strength. This is not just a promise for eternity but a promise for every moment of our lives. When we choose to trust in God, we are reminded that we have no need to be afraid. The world around us may shift, our circumstances may be challenging, but the *Lord Jehovah* is steadfast. His power is infinite, His Grace and love unchanging. *He does not only provide strength*—*He is our strength*. When we’re weak, He fills us with resilience; when we’re lost, He becomes our guide. Isaiah calls the Lord “my song,” reflecting a deep joy that transcends circumstances. Even in difficult seasons, we can find a reason to rejoice, for we are not walking alone. Our lives can be a song of praise and gratitude, no matter what we face.

God’s mercy is active. It’s not just sympathy but a desire to *bring healing, to offer hope, and to restore what has been broken*. Sometimes we don’t recognize His mercy right away. We may feel like we’re going through a valley, uncertain of the way out. But in these very places, God's mercy often works in unseen ways. He surrounds us with support, strengthens us through His Word, and uses even the smallest blessings to remind us of His love. Today, rest in knowing that God’s heart is tender toward you. He is both mighty and merciful, always ready to lift us up, to show us kindness, and to walk with us every step of the journey. Take comfort in unfailing love of Jesus Christ, knowing that no matter how heavy the burden, His mercy is always there to sustain you. "The Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy." - James 5:11

Bursting Light in November God has a powerful plan to drive out darkness this November—He will flood your life with *His glorious light* ! “*When darkness overtakes him, light will come bursting in*.” Psalm 112:4, TLB The Bible promises that light will burst in, suddenly and unexpectedly.

"*In thy name shall they rejoice all the day; and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted*." - Psalm 89:16 As you go about your day, ask yourself: Am I rejoicing in His name, finding my joy in His presence? Let this reminder ground you in His love and righteousness, no matter what comes your way. To rejoice in His name "all the day" means that we find our joy not in temporary things, *but in the eternal security and faithfulness of God*. Whatever we face—whether it's the Blessings that come easily or the challenges that stretch us—*His name remains a constant source of strength*. We are called to embrace that joy, knowing that He is with us in every moment, guiding us,loving us, and sustaining us. The second part of this verse, "in thy righteousness shall they be exalted," speaks to our elevation, not through personal achievement, but through the righteousness of God. *Our worth and standing are found in the perfection of Jesus*, whose righteousness covers us. It reminds us that while we strive to walk in obedience and grow in faith, our identity and our exaltation come solely through *God's Grace*.

Remember the words of Peter: “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life” (John 6:68). This simple yet profound truth reminds me that Jesus is our only true guide, our unwavering source of hope and peace. He is the one who holds our lives in His hands, just as Paul wrote: “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed to Him until that day” (2 Timothy 1:12). In those moments when the weight of the world presses down, I have cried out to God, and He has always been there—a steady presence in the storm. He pulls us from the shadows and brings us into His light, offering us refuge, protection, and companionship.Let’s remember His goodness together and trust that He is always with us—yesterday, today, and forever. God is good, all the time.

"Call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me." (Psalm 50:15) Life's journey can sometimes feel heavy, and the weight of our struggles may bring a sense of discouragement. *But the psalmist reminds us not to let our souls stay downcast or our spirits unsettled*. We have an anchor in the storm and a reason to hope—God Himself. He is the "health of our countenance" (Psalm 42:11), our sustaining strength, and our ever-present help. The Scriptures reveal that *God not only hears us but also prepares our hearts to call upon Him*. In our lowest moments, when we come to Him humbly, He is attentive and merciful. Psalm 10:17 reassures us that the Lord "hears the desire of the humble." Our cries for help are not only heard but are answered by a God who is "good and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon him" (Psalm 86:5). Today, let us remember that God is faithful. In every season and every struggle, He is near, ready to deliver and restore. Our call to Him in trouble becomes an act of worship as we glorify Him in our reliance and faith.

Though we are different in many ways, God is at work in each of us. 1 Corinthians 12:6 reminds us that our talents vary, but it is the same God behind them all. Just as He used the brave men of Manasseh to help David in battle, God uses our gifts for His purpose. Our strength comes from Him. The tribe of Issachar had understanding and wisdom, knowing what Israel should do. This was a gift from God, just as He gives each of us wisdom and knowledge to guide and bless others. The men of Zebulun, experts in war, stayed faithful and united. Their steady hearts teach us to stay focused and not be divided in our commitment to God. God's plan for us is unity. Like a body, each part is essential—if one suffers, all suffer; if one rejoices, all rejoice. We are one in the Lord, serving Him with our unique gifts. Ephesians 4:5 reminds us that we share one Lord, one faith, one baptism. Let’s work together in love, honoring God with our diversity and unity. There are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. - 1 Cor 12:6

In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus teaches us to ask God, “*Give us this day our daily bread* ” (Matthew 6:11). This reminds us to rely on God daily for our needs, trusting Him to provide for us. *God is faithful*, and He promises that those who follow Him will not be left without help. He provided for Elijah through ravens, bringing him food each day (1 Kings 17:6). In the same way, God will take care of us. Philippians 4:19 says, “ *My God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus* .” This promise reminds us to trust God’s abundant provision. Jesus later revealed that He is the true bread from heaven, sent to give life to the world (John 6:32-33). When we ask God to give us daily bread, *we are not only asking for physical food but for the spiritual nourishment that comes through Jesus*. Let’s trust God every day for what we need, knowing He will provide both physically and spiritually. Like the people in John 6:34, may we say, “Sir,” they said, “give us that bread every day.”

The Bible tells us that God accepts us. He loves us and wants us to be close to Him. But sometimes we wonder how to show our love for Him. Do we need to offer expensive sacrifices or do special things to please Him? The answer is simple. God doesn't want us to focus on rituals or offerings. *He wants us to live a life of love and kindness. He wants us to be fair and just in our actions, to show compassion to others, and to walk humbly with Him.* We are all imperfect, but God's Grace covers our flaws. He sent His son, Jesus, to die for us, so that we can be forgiven and made right with Him. All we need to do is believe in Jesus and His sacrifice. This is how we show our love for God - by living a life of kindness, justice, and humility, and by trusting in Jesus's sacrifice.

It’s hard to believe that God wants to Bless us, when we’re so absorbed by our failures and all the wrong things we see about ourselves, it’s hard to believe that God wants to Bless us. Our Blessings from God are not a result of our goodness.They are the result of His Goodness. We are entitled to God’s Blessings for only one reason: because we’re His children. Satan loves to trip us up on this one. As soon as we think it is right for us to be Blessed, he points to our weaknesses or our failures. *God points to our relationship. That’s the difference.* *Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No* .” John 21:5 ESV65810290

"Let your light shine before others, so they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven" (Matthew 5:16). You are a *reflection of God’s presence in the world*. When you live according to His Word and allow His Grace to shape your actions, your light shines for all to see. Even when life is difficult, maintaining a positive outlook and a thankful heart can inspire others to praise God. Notice that this scripture emphasizes, “they will see your good deeds.” People are not drawn to God by what we know or say, but by the goodness we show. Ask God to guide you in sharing His love with those around you. Whether at home, work, or in Church, there are always moments to reflect His goodness. As you live this out, you bring glory to God, and He will bless and honor you in return, pouring His abundant Blessings into your life.

There are times in our lives when God feels distant, when it seems as though He has hidden Himself from us. During these moments, our faith is tested. It's easy to worship God when everything is going well, but what about when He feels far away? True worship happens when *we trust Him in the silence*, *praise Him through the pain*, and *continue loving Him even when we can’t feel His presence*. Our relationship with God deepens in the seasons of waiting and doubt. David, a man after God’s own heart, often cried out in confusion and loneliness, yet he continued to place his hope in the Lord. Isaiah 8:17 says, “The Lord has hidden himself from his people, but I trust him and place my hope in him.” These periods of spiritual dryness are not signs of abandonment but opportunities to strengthen our trust in Him. Even when God feels distant, He is still with us, shaping our hearts and growing our faith. Trust in His faithfulness, and He will sustain you through every trial.

Goliath was strategically placed in David's path, not to defeat him, but to elevate him.Goliath was a catalyst, a stepping stone,a divine setup for David's destiny.Without Goliath, *David would have remained a shepherd, never reaching the throne*. We often forget that God can use our enemies to bless us.- He brings Goliaths into our lives, not to crush us, but to help us become the people we were meant to be. When these challenges arise, we might cry out, "God, why is this happening to me?" But the truth is, these disappointments, discouragements betrayals, and setbacks are not random.They are part of God's intricate plan to get you to where you're meant to be. Life's challenges - the family member who disappoints you, the coworker who undermines you, the friend who betrays you, the business failure, the sickness — these are not obstacles, but opportunities. They are the Goliaths that will push you to your destiny, forcing you to rely on God's strength and revealing the hidden potential within you."

You are a beloved child of God, and His peace resides within you. It's important to identify what steals your peace and address those issues so they no longer trouble you. Remember, when you feel anxious or unsettled, you have the power to reclaim the peace God has given you. Whenever worry or fretfulness arises, take a moment to release those concerns to God through a heartfelt prayer. Then, consciously focus on the blessings in your life or anything good that brings you joy. Don’t fall into the trap of believing you have no control over your thoughts. You absolutely do. Peace of mind is invaluable, and enjoying the goodness of life is difficult without it. Seek and pursue the peace that is yours through Jesus Christ. As you do, you will experience God’s peace, which surpasses all understanding. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7 NLT)

Trust in Divine Purpose “*Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails*.” — Proverbs 19:21 In our journey through life, it's natural to have many plans and dreams. We envision our paths, set goals, and work diligently toward them. Yet, despite our best efforts, things often don't unfold the way we expect. This can lead to frustration, disappointment, or confusion. When our plans don't come to fruition, it might be because God has something better in store. Trusting in His purpose allows us to release our worries and embrace the journey, knowing that He is guiding us toward something greater. His purpose for us is filled with hope and promise, and even if the path is uncertain, we can find comfort in the fact that He holds the ultimate plan. Let this Grace and truth bring you peace and assurance as you navigate through the twists and turns of life. Embrace the journey with confidence, knowing that God's plan is unfolding perfectly according to His will.

*My enemy, do not be happy because I am in trouble. I have fallen down, but I will get up. I am in the dark, but the Lord will be a light to me*. Micah 7:8 EASY This verse speaks to us all. We face challenges, experience setbacks, and sometimes feel lost in the darkness. But Micah reminds us that God is always with us, ready to help us rise, ready to be our light. The enemy rejoices, expecting the end. But the word says , though wounded, k " *I will rise* ." This isn't a blind optimism, but a deep-seated faith in the power and Grace of God. We may stumble, we may fall, but the promise of rising again is a beacon in the storm. And even when darkness surrounds us, the verse reminds us that "the LORD is my light." In the absence of external light, God becomes our source of hope, our guide, our strength.

In 1 John 4:4 (CEV), we read, "Children, you belong to God, and you have defeated these enemies. God's Spirit is in you and is more powerful than the one who is in the world." This verse is a powerful reminder of our identity and strength in Jesus Christ. When facing difficulties or feeling overwhelmed, remember that God’s Spirit in you is more powerful than anything that comes against you. Draw strength from this truth, and trust that God has already given you victory over your challenges. Consider the story of David and Goliath. David, a young shepherd, faced a giant warrior who seemed invincible. Yet, David’s faith in God gave him the courage to face Goliath, and with a single stone, he defeated the giant. This story illustrates that, like David, we too can overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles when we rely on God's power rather than our own strength.

The disciples had toiled all night. Their nets were empty, their efforts fruitless. Exhausted and discouraged, they returned to shore, only to find a scene that must have filled them with both wonder and relief. Jesus, their Lord and Savior, was there, a charcoal fire burning, and fish already grilling on it. He simply said, "Come and have some breakfast." This simple act, captured in John 21:9, speaks volumes about God's love and provision. Just as Jesus prepared breakfast for His disciples, He has prepared a feast for us. He has already provided for our needs, even before we ask. He has already overcome our struggles, even before we face them. He has already prepared a way, even before we know the destination. So, let us come to Jesus, trusting in His provision. Let us rest in His presence, knowing that He has already prepared everything we need. Let us receive His blessings with open hearts, knowing that they are not a result of our own efforts, but a gift of His Grace. Let us remember the prepared feast, and find peace in knowing that God has already provided.

You may not have even realized that you’re a son or a daughter of promise and that God has already spoken the Word and set you free. Don’t allow anything to keep you bent over and bound up, because “ *So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free*. John 8:36 NLT You are free today! You’ve been bought with a great price. You are a joint heir with Jesus Christ. You have a covenant between you and God.The enemy cannot bind you any longer.No matter what situation you’re in right now, no matter how unnoticed you feel, He sees you and He knows you. He’s calling you forward to become everything He created you to be. Stand up straight and look into His wonderful face.

But God has not given us a spirit of fear but of love, self-discipline and a sound mind. We have to face every situation in order to change the situation. Change needs to be conceived on the inside before you perceive it on the outside. You have to work with God. It all starts with the decision to change. Change can be daunting, but it's often necessary for *growth and transformation*.Before we can see it manifest in the outside world, we must first conceive it in our hearts and minds. This inner work requires collaboration with God. It's not about forcing our will, but about surrendering to His guidance and trusting His plan. The decision to change is the first step, but it's only the beginning. 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."

God is a faithful God who pushes us. He doesn’t pat us on the back all the time. He’s loving and kind and gentle, but He is saying, “Get up! I am with you. You’re going to be strengthened in your faith as you go through this, so when you get to the other side you’re prepared for the next level. Notice that when Jesus called His disciples, He said, “Follow Me, and *I will make* you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19). And when God spoke to Abraham, He said, “Go from your country…to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; *I will make your name great* ” (Genesis 12:1–2). You see that God’s pattern is to “take” and “make” us. “I will make you” means He will enable us to become everything He calls us to be. We are not called by God because we are somehow qualified and equipped to follow Him, but because we are willing to follow and believe in Him. As imperfect and lacking as we are, we just have to be willing, and He will “take” and “make” us.

God loves it when you come *confidently to Him* ! When we pray with an attitude of faith and expectancy, it shows that we believe God and His Word and that opens the door for Him to move on our behalf. In a world full of uncertainty, our connection with God can be a source of unwavering confidence. James 4:8 reminds us, " *Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you* ." This promise reassures us that our relationship with God is built on mutual closeness and commitment. It's in these moments of *intentional connection* that we experience His presence most profoundly. Remember, God's closeness isn't based on our perfection but on His grace and our willingness to come close.Lean into His promises, trust in His guidance, and walk confidently, knowing that He is always near.

*We know everything is going to be alright*. The three Hebrew teenagers, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, when they were told they would be thrown into a fiery furnace,they said *God will deliver us*,Notice they didn’t fight it.They weren’t upset. They weren’t complaining. They were at peace. *They knew God Almighty had His hand upon them*. Notice that God didn’t deliver them from the fire; *He delivered them through the fire*. Maybe you are going through the fire today. Know that God is with you. He’s doing a work in you, and He’s displaying His glory through you. Remember, on the other side of the fire is a place of abundance and blessing! Stand strong and see the fulfillment of the promises He has in store for you!. “…*We went through fire and flood, but you brought us to a place of abundance*.” Psalm 66:12, NLT

No matter how good a person you are, you’re going to have some “rain” ,some challenges in your life. When these storms come, a lot people use their faith to try to control their circumstances. When you face adversities, one of the most powerful things you can do is simply *stay calm*. [7] Do-Nothing. Isaiah 30:7 NIV When you are at peace, you are displaying your faith in God. By your actions, you’re saying, “God, I know You’re still care for us. I know You’re bigger than this problem.” So keep peace in the midst of your storms today. Trust that He is working behind the scenes. Keep your heart open to Him because soon He will deliver you!

Welcome to Risen Grace Ministries!
In many things we feel stuck in our circumstances because we are looking at them from a natural perspective, people get distracted by what they consider to be a *disadvantage* or *weakness* in their lives. But just because you have a “disadvantage,” just because you’ve been through a tough time doesn’t mean you’re supposed to sit back and settle where you are. But if we’ll rise up to a higher level, we will see things the way God sees them. *The supernatural*.We’ll understand His purposes and see the way to victory! Today, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, Jesus is the Rock who is high above your circumstances. “I told you these things so that you can have peace in Me. In this world(natural) you will have trouble. But be brave! I have defeated the world (natural)!” John 16:33 ICB but we can be encouraged today because He has overcome the natural and disarmed it of the power to harm us! Greater is He who is in us.His ways are higher than our ways and natural. He has promised to deliver us!

Every Child of God want victory without battle, triumph without effort, and ease without labor. It's my desire too..... God’s world simply doesn’t function that way. And that’s where the devil sometimes creeps in to say, “If God loves you so much, why are you in this mess?” The best answer Word of God gives is to repeat the words of Paul the great apostle: … *Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.* Romans 5:3-5 NIV Try not to look at the hardships; but look at the opportunities.God does promise a blessed life.

1 Samuel 2:10 NLT .... He increases the strength of his anointed one.” This verse serves as a powerful reminder of God's promise to provide strength and exaltation to His chosen ones. It is a source of encouragement for us to trust in the Lord's provision and guidance. Like King David, we too can draw strength from the Lord in our daily lives. When we feel overwhelmed by circumstances or unsure of our abilities, we can rely on God's promise to give us the strength we need to overcome. As we walk in faith and obedience, God will exalt us in His perfect timing, just as He did for David. Just as God strengthens and uplifts His anointed ones, He is also faithful to support and empower us in our journey. Let us take comfort in the assurance that God is with us, granting us the strength we need to overcome challenges and the exaltation that comes from walking in His will.

Hope Endures Discouragement often visits our lives, but we must remember that God's promises are eternal and unchanging. His faithfulness surpasses time and circumstance. Keep your hope anchored in Jesus Christ, the source of our enduring strength. Even when we stumble or face trials, blessings, healing, and breakthroughs are within reach. Sometimes, we disqualify ourselves, overlooking the opportunities God provides. Yet, His mercy exceeds human judgment and He does not define us by our mistakes, knowing every path we will take. Trust that the blessings promised to you are on their way. Wait patiently on the Lord, our deliverer and shield, as Psalm 33:20 says, "We wait for the Lord; he is our deliverer and shield."

"Therefore, as God’s chosen people, Holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." Colossians 3:12 (NIV)
Cultivating Christlike Manners Manners are not Law,its seen as simple gestures of politeness, but in the eyes of God, they reflect something deeper—our character and our heart.Paul encourages believers to clothe themselves with virtues that embody Christlikeness.These virtues—compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience—are not merely external displays but expressions of our relationship with God and others. Compassion prompts us to see beyond ourselves and genuinely care for others. Kindness demonstrates the love of Christ through our actions and words. Humility teaches us to consider others as more significant than ourselves. Gentleness reflects a spirit of Grace and Peace in our interactions. Patience reminds us to bear with one another in love, as Christ patiently bears with us. When we embody these virtues, our manners become a reflection of our faith. They testify to the transformative power of God in our lives and invite others to experience His love through us. As we go about our day, let us remember that every interaction is an opportunity to glorify God by showing Christlike manners.

"Everything is permissible for me," but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me," but I will not be mastered by anything. 1 Corinthians 6:12NIV It's a reminder that while we have the liberty to make choices, not all choices lead to Blessing,growth or are in our best interest.True freedom in Christ means choosing what is beneficial and aligns with God's purpose for our lives. Consider the decisions you face today. Ask yourself, "Is this beneficial for my Spiritual, Emotional, and Physical well-being?" Seek to make choices that glorify God and contribute positively to your life and the lives of those around you. Remember, true freedom is found not in indulging every desire, but in living a life that reflects God's love and wisdom. You have the power, through Christ, to choose what is good and to avoid being mastered by anything that can harm you.

You may sometimes feel that Jesus is far, far away, but trust me, He’s right there with you. Sometimes we feel like we have to try so hard to get into the presence of God, but the truth is that it’s impossible to get away from Him because He’s constantly pursuing us.
When the prophet Isaiah brought a complaint to the Lord, reporting that His people were saying: “The Lord has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me. “Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you! See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands. Isaiah 49:15-16 NLT
How precious is that! Your heavenly Father loves you so much that He has your picture permanently on His hands. The next time you question your self-worth, remember that God has your picture on the palms of His hands and that He has a beautiful future for you (see Jeremiah 29:11).

No matter what kind of trouble or difficulty you got yourself into, you can still have a Blessed life. You cannot do anything about what is behind you, but you can do a great deal about what lies ahead of you. God is a redeemer, You cannot make a series of bad choices that result in significant problems and then make one good choice and expect all the results of all those bad choices to go away. You did not get into deep trouble through one bad choice; you got into trouble through a series of bad choices. If you really want your life to change for the better, you will need to make one good choice after another, over a period of time, just as consistently as you made the negative choices that produced negative results.
Invite God to get involved, trust in and follow His directions, make one good choice after another, and you will see amazing results.

When we have problems, it is important not to dwell on the problems worrying, but we also need to continue doing the things we know to do. For example, if you have commitments, be sure to keep them, instead don't withdraw from normal life and spend all the time trying to solve the problem.
Psalm 37:3 says Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper,in return, we will experience His faithfulness,by remaining dedicated to studying God's Word, maintaining a prayerful attitude, fulfilling the commitments, and help as many people as you can, you can experience breakthrough much faster. Helping others while we are hurting is actually a very powerful thing to do.

In times of hardship, we may not always feel God's presence ,but He promised He’ll always be with us. Difficult seasons are inevitable in life.
God stands by us in our struggles, providing us with the necessary support—be it His love, strength, a sense of security, or the reassurance that we are not alone. Jesus understands suffering, rejection, and loss . He is familiar with the trials and obstacles we encounter. Moreover, He carries our burdens (Psalm 68:19) and offers comfort to our wounded hearts.
We are called to live a life of faith, believing in God's promises even when circumstances seem bewildering. When challenges surround you, hold onto this truth: God will never forsake or abandon you (Hebrews 13:5), and His good purposes will always prevail (Isaiah 14:27).

God is our Protector, and when we run to Him, we can have peace in the midst of uncertainty. If He is our Rock, then we won’t be shaken by the events in this world or even those in our own life.
The Lord is able to safeguard us in treacherous times. No matter where trouble originates—with others, external circumstances, or our own actions—we can find ourselves in danger and afraid. Thankfully, we have a loving God who leads us to safety.
He will walk with us through every painful circumstance. As we pour out our heart to God and let His Word bring comfort, He will renew our mind, calm our fears, and strengthen our trust in Him.
Trust God, my friends, and always tell Him each of your concerns. God is our place of safety.
Psalms 62:8 CEV

Do you trust God to give you strength in your weaknesses? Do you believe He will help you stand strong in tough times? The Lord supports those who have faith by helping them endure challenges, showing His power in their weaknesses, and bringing them peace and joy during suffering.
Moses was chosen to be a leader of the Hebrew people and is seen as a hero in the Old Testament. He did great things with the help of the Lord and had a close relationship with God. His incredible achievements were possible because of his strong Faith in God.
Having faith doesn't mean life will be easy. It can involve challenges and even persecution. But when we stay faithful to God, our belief is proven to be real, and we become more like Christ. 🙏

Trusting God is simply believing that He loves you and knowing He’s good, He has the power to help you, and He wants to help you. Christians are called believers, but many times, we are more like unbelieving believers. We trust our friends, the bank, or the government more than we trust God and His Word.
In John 15:5, Jesus says that apart from Him, we can do nothing. We need to lean on Him for help with everything in our lives.
Sadly, a lot of people go to church, hear what they should do and then go home and try to do it on their own.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says, Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths
God wants us to put Him first in our lives. He wants us to put our confidence and trust in Him, all the time, in everything.

Choose to trust the Lord. Make the decision to believe God and follow, no matter how you feel. We live by what we believe, not by what we can see. Once we have made up our minds to trust God, we gather courage around us.
As you take a step of Faith, in every step of Faith God will strengthen you through His Spirit and enable you to continue on. Before you realise it, your Faith will become strong and steady, joy will surround, and you will be moving ahead once again, for we walk by faith, not by sight living our lives in a manner consistent with our confident belief in God's promises.

But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
Psalms 3:3 NIV
As we step into the month of July, let us anchor our hearts in the truth of Psalm 3:3, where we are reminded that God is the lifter of our heads.
Just as a shield provides protection and security, God surrounds us with His divine presence, shielding us from harm and danger. In this new month, may we trust in His unfailing protection, Love and Grace knowing that He is our refuge and strength.
In the moments when we feel weighed down by the cares of life, when our heads are bowed low with worries and fears, God is there to lift us up. He gently raises our gaze, reminding us of His presence, His promises, and His faithfulness. May we lean on Him for strength, courage, and the assurance that He is with us every step of the way.

Welcome to Risen Grace Ministries!
Most of us spend our entire lives trying to earn acceptance. We want to earn it from our parents, friends, partners in life, people we respect, and even people we dislike. The desire to be accepted drives us to do all kinds of things. It can influence the kind of clothes you wear, the kind of car you drive, the kind of house you buy, even the career you choose. Would you agree that people do the craziest things to be accepted? We love the feeling of being accepted. Being chosen does tremendous things for your self-esteem. 1 Peter 2:9 says, “You are a chosen people”. That ought to raise your self-esteem! Christ has accepted you — not based on your performance, something that you earned, or something that you deserve. God simply says, “I chose you.” You may have accepted Jesus into your life, but have you ever realized that Christ has accepted you? You don’t have to earn it; you don’t have to prove yourself.
Our Mission
At Risen Grace Ministries, we are dedicated to embodying and radiating the boundless grace of God, igniting transformation in lives, fostering reconciliation in relationships, and catalyzing profound heart change. United in faith, we embark on a collective journey, passionately pursuing God's purpose for each individual and the world at large.

Our Beliefs

His commitment to delivering the Word of God in a compelling and relevant manner reflects his passion for helping others grow in their faith and experience the life-changing power of God's truth.
Our Story
From its inception in 2004, Risen Grace Ministries has been a testament to the transformative power of faith. Founded by Rev. Augustine Babu and a dedicated group of families from Singapore, our church began as a small gathering with a big vision.
Through the years, we've journeyed together, witnessing the profound impact of God's grace in our lives and the lives of those we touch. From humble beginnings, we've grown into a vibrant community, united by our shared commitment to following the teachings of Jesus Christ.
In the face of challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, Rev. Augustine Babu has highlighted four ways in which we are protected:
1. Protection by God
2. Protection by Angels
3. Protection by the Blood of Jesus Christ
4. Protection by the Word of God.
These pillars of protection remind us of the unwavering strength and assurance we find in our faith, even amidst uncertainty and adversity.
As we reflect on our journey, we're reminded of the countless testimonies of healing, deliverance, and restored relationships that have unfolded within our midst. Each story is a testament to God's faithfulness and the transformative power of His love.
Amidst our progress, we rely solely on the Holy Spirit's guidance and the teachings of the Bible. As Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." In our journey of faith, we trust in God's wisdom to lead us forward and guide our steps.
Jesus Christ is…
Jesus Christ is God in flesh who preached Love, Grace and Faith
As the Bible says in John 1:14, "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling
among us ". Jesus Christ is our God who came down to earth to die for our sins so we
may gain salvation.
Love as a Central Message
John 15:12 - "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you."
Matthew 22:37-39 - "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind... Love your neighbor as yourself."
The Gift of Grace
Ephesians 2:8-9 - "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast."
Faith in Christ
John 11:25-26 - "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die."
In essence, Jesus embodies the fullness of God's love and grace, inviting us to respond in faith and live out this message through our actions towards others.
