As to share with future readers and to provide a brief quotation for critical review - I have included an excerpt of the (August 19^th) message from an inspirational book - (of which I'd like to recommend). The below message was taken from "Jesus Calling - Enjoying Peace in His Presence" as written by Sarah Young. This book was written from the perspective as if JESUS - was saying "these words" directly to "you"!  (Please read the below inspirational message:)

-----------------

 I CONTINUALLY CALL YOU to closeness with Me. I know the depth and breadth of your need for Me. I can read the emptiness of your thoughts when they wander away from Me. I offer rest for your soul, as well as refreshment for your mind and body. As you increasingly find fulfillment in Me, other pleasures become less important. Knowing Me intimately is like having a private wellspring of Joy within you. This spring flows freely from My throne of grace, so your Joy is independent of circumstances.

Waiting in My Presence keeps you connected to me, aware of all that I offer you. If you feel any deficiency, you need to refocus your attention on Me. This is how you trust Me in the moments of your life.

 

 

 

Psalm 131:2

New King James Version (NKJV)

² 
Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, Like a weaned child with his mother; Like a weaned child “is” my soul within me.

 

 Psalm 21:6
New International Version (NIV)

 

⁶ Surely You have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of Your presence.

Nehemiah 8:10b
New King James Version (KJIV)

 

^10b for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Thank You Jesus – Romans 5:6-9 – No Exceptions to God’s Love

 

This is Namma for Christ with the two hundred ninetieth inspirational message dated Tuesday, August 5th, 2025. The title of this message is “Thank You Jesus – Romans 5:6-9 – No Exceptions to God’s Love”.

The first three words of this message’s title are also the words of the title of the below anointed song/video, “Thank You Jesus (with lyrics)” as performed by Josh Baldwin.

The below passage of scripture (that accompanies this message) is from the sixth through the ninth verses of the fifth chapter of Romans:

Romans 5:6-9

New King James Version - (NKJV)

 

⁶ For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷ For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. ⁸ But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹ Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

 

The title of this message includes the words – “No Exceptions to God’s Love” – which is the “title” of the late Dr. Charles Stanley’s “In Touch” Daily Devotional for (July 30th, 2025) – which I have included below (Dr. Charles Stanley passed away on 4/18/23). Dr. Charles Stanley was the founder of the “In Touch” daily devotional. Those who work on behalf of this daily devotional are continuing its publication - as it ministers to readers around the world. I recently read the below message and wanted to share this message in “Namma for Christ”.

 

 No Exceptions to God’s Love

  Romans 5:6-9

 

      If you’ve been to church, then you’ve likely heard that God loves you and has a plan for your life. Do you believe that? Some, sadly, have decided verses like “For God so loved the world…” (John 3:16 - see verse below) don’t apply to them. They think they’re too weak, sinful, or broken to merit the Lord’s love.

John 3:16

King James Version - (KJV)

 ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 

God thinks you are special. Because of the heavenly Father’s love for the world, He sent His Son to die on the cross as a sacrifice for the sins of everyone living in the past, present, or future. None of us deserve His care and protection, but thankfully, deserving isn’t the basis for His love. In fact, God’s very nature is love (1^st John 4:8 – see verse below), which He demonstrated through Christ’s death “while we were yet sinners” (Romans 5:8 – see verse below).

1^st John 4:8

New King James Version - (NKJV)

⁸ He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

 

Romans 5:8

New King James Version - (NKJV)

⁸ But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

 

God cares so much for His children that He gives each one a unique place in His plan for the world. His followers are gifted with the specific abilities and attributes needed to carry out His individualized purpose for them in His kingdom (1^st Corinthians 12:11 – see verse below).

 

1^st Corinthians 12:11

New King James Version - (NKJV)

¹¹ It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have.

THE LORD LOVES YOU.  He says so again and again in the Scriptures. That may be challenging to accept, especially if you’ve been mistreated by others – but don’t let those experiences detract from how He wants to bless you. Read His Word for yourself and see how deeply He cares for you, His beloved child.

When I Fall – Exodus 4:10-13 – When Doubt Is at Work

This is Namma for Christ with the two hundred eighty-ninth inspirational message dated Thursday, July 10th, 2025. The title of this message is “When I Fall – Exodus 4:10-13 – When Doubt Is at Work”.

The first three words of this message’s title are also the words of the title of the below anointed song/video, “When I Fall (with lyrics)” as performed by Katy Nichole.

The below passage of scripture (that accompanies this message) is from the tenth through the thirteenth verses of the fourth chapter of Exodus – as written by Moses:

Exodus 4:10-13

New Life Version - (NLV)

 ¹⁰ Moses said to the Lord, “Lord, I am not a man of words. I have never been. Even now since You spoke to Your servant, I still am not. For I am slow in talking and it is difficult for me to speak.” ¹¹ Then the Lord said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Who makes a man not able to speak or hear? Who makes one blind or able to see? Is it not I, the Lord? ¹² So go now. And I will be with your mouth. I will teach you what to say.”

¹³ But Moses said, “O Lord, I ask of You, send some other person.”

 

 

The title of this message includes the words – “When Doubt Is at Work” – which is the “title” of the late Dr. Charles Stanley’s “In Touch” Daily Devotional for (April 27th, 2025) – which I have included below (Dr. Charles Stanley passed away on 4/18/23). Dr. Charles Stanley was the founder of the “In Touch” daily devotional. Those who work on behalf of this daily devotional are continuing its publication - as it ministers to readers around the world. I recently read the below message and wanted to share this message in “Namma for Christ”.

 

 When Doubt Is at Work

  Exodus 4:10-13

 

      Doubt can fill us with uncertainty, make us indecisive, and affect our ability to connect with God. We know doubt is at work when we struggle to believe the following truths:

-       God loves us all the time. His love for us does not fluctuate with our behavior.   We can be certain of this because “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8 – see verse below). That’s amazing grace – God loving us while we rebelled against Him.

 

Romans 5:8

New King James Version - (NKJV)

 ⁸ But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

-       God has a plan to forgive us for our disobedience. We know the Father promises to forgive us when we confess our sins, but we often have trouble believing we are forgiven. That’s why we must not use feelings to determine truth. God’s Word is true, and it says, “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us” (Psalm 103:12 see verse below).

Psalm 103:12

New King James Version - (NKJV)

¹² As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

-        God has called us to serve Him. Our Heavenly Father often invites us to join Him in His work, but doubt might cause us, like Moses, to make excuses for why we can’t obey (see Exodus 4:10 above). Yet God promises He has equipped us with everything we need to do the work He has chosen for us (see Eph. 2:10 below).

Ephesians 2:10

New King James Version - (NKJV)

 

¹⁰ For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

 

We’ll all experience some doubts but can’t let them blind us to the truth: Almighty God cherishes and protects His children.

Whisper And The Wind – Eph. 3:13-19 – The Power of Christ

 

This is Namma for Christ with the two hundred eighty-eighth inspirational message dated Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025. The title of this message is “Whisper And The Wind – Eph. 3:13-19 – The Power of Christ”.

The first four words of this message’s title are also the words of the title of the below anointed song/video, “Whisper And The Wind (with lyrics)” as performed by Bodie.

The below passage of scripture (that accompanies this message) is from the thirteenth through the nineteenth verses of the third chapter of Ephesians – as written by the Apostle Paul:

Ephesians 3:13-19

New International Version - (NIV)

 ¹³ I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.

¹⁴ For this reason I kneel before the Father, ¹⁵ from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. ¹⁶ I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, ¹⁷ so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, ¹⁸ may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, ¹⁹ and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

 

The title of this message includes the words – “The Power of Christ” – which is the “title” of the late Dr. Charles Stanley’s “In Touch” Daily Devotional for (April 26th, 2025) – which I have included below (Dr. Charles Stanley passed away on 4/18/23). Dr. Charles Stanley was the founder of the “In Touch” daily devotional. Those who work on behalf of this daily devotional are continuing its publication - as it ministers to readers around the world. I recently read the below message and wanted to share this message in “Namma for Christ”.

 

 The Power of Christ

  Ephesians 3:13-19

 

      Paul frequently wrote about the need to rely on Christ’s strength. He shared a promise the Lord had given him: “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness” (2^nd Cor. 12:9 – see the below verse). Paul was a great Christian leader, but in God’s eyes, he was no more deserving of grace than any other person. We can have the same confidence in the Lord’s power that the apostle had.

 

2^nd Corinthians 12:9

New King James Version - (NKJV)

 ⁹ And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

 

      When Paul received Jesus as his Lord and Savior, he was adopted as God’s son. His sins were forgiven and he received the Holy spirit (Acts 13:9), so he could begin his work for the Lord’s service (Gal. 1:15).

      Consider Paul’s jail time. To help him endure imprisonment, the Holy Spirit provided physical and mental stamina. And at the same time, He burdened the hearts of other believers to provide for Paul’s needs (Phil. 4:18). Most importantly, God’s Spirit gave him the courage to speak of Jesus Christ with his Roman guards (Phil. 1:13).

      Paul relied upon God for strength and consequently never gave up on his faith. We serve the same all-powerful God, which means we have no excuse for running away from His plan, either. His Spirit dwells in us and is ready to release power when we obey our Father’s call.

TRUST ME IN EVERY DETAIL of your life. Nothing is random in My kingdom. Everything that happens fits into a pattern for good, to those who love Me. Instead of trying to analyze the intricacies of the pattern, focus your energy on trusting Me and thanking Me at all times. Nothing is wasted when you walk close to Me. Even your mistakes and sins can be recycled into something good, through My transforming grace.

While you were still living in darkness, I began to shine the Light of My Presence into your sin-stained life. Finally, I lifted you up out of the mire into My marvelous Light. Having sacrificed My very Life for you, I can be trusted in every facet of your life.

Jordans – Exodus 2:3 & Heb. 11:23 – THE RIVER OF GOD

 

This is Namma for Christ with the two hundred eighty-sixth inspirational message dated Thursday, April 3rd, 2025. The title of this message is “Jordans – Exodus 2:3 & Heb. 11:23 – THE RIVER OF GOD”.

 

The first word of this message’s title is also the same word of the title of the below anointed song/video, “Jordans (with lyrics)” as performed by Blessing Offor.

The below scripture is a New Testament verse from the eleventh book of Hebrews – verse twenty-three:

Hebrews 11:23

Amplified Bible Version - (AMP)

²³ By faith Moses, after his birth, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful and divinely favored child; and they were not afraid of the king’s (Pharaoh’s) decree.

 

The below passage of scripture (that accompanies this message) is from the third verse of the second chapter of the book of Exodus:

Exodus 2:3

Amplified Bible Version - (AMP)

³ When she could no longer hide him, she got him a basket (chest) made of papyrus reeds and covered it with tar and pitch [making it waterproof]. Then she put the child in it and set it among the reeds by the bank of the Nile.

 

 The scripture text of “this” message was taken from the “same” scripture text that I read on (October 5th, 2024) in my daily devotional book entitled: “The Word for You Today”.

 

The inspirational message I read on October 5^th, 2024, was titled – “THE RIVER OF GOD”. I knew that it was a message that I wanted to share in my next message in my “Namma for Christ” blog. I hope you find (some of the excerpts) as inspirational as I did:

 

THE RIVER OF GOD

  Exodus 2:3

 

      Moses’ mother put him in a basket, placed it in the river Nile, and the tide carried him to Pharaoh’s daughter, who adopted him and made him part of Pharaoh’s family. His next forty years would be spent preparing him for one of the greatest assignments of all time: the exodus. There is a lesson here. The river took him from a place of hopelessness and despair to a place where all things became possible. And God can do that for you, too. (1.) The river of His grace can blot out your sins, clothe you in the righteousness of Christ, and bring you into a new relationship with God. (2.) The river of His power can carry you from the place of defeat to the place of victory. (3.) The river of His wisdom can carry you from the place of mistakes and confusion to the place of vision and success. (4.) The river of His provision can take you from the place of lack to the place of abundance. This may mean God will have to disconnect you from those who tear you down because they don’t understand what He has called you to do and connect you with a new circle of friends. Or place you in a church that can build you up spiritually and help equip you to fulfill God’s plan for your life. As a slave, Moses’ mother couldn’t have introduced him to Pharaoh’s daughter. But God could. And He did. And what God did for Moses, He will do for you if you seek Him in prayer and follow His instructions.

Desperate – Job 13:15 – KEEP TRUSTING GOD

 This is Namma for Christ with the two hundred eighty-fifth inspirational message dated Saturday, March 15th, 2025. The title of this message is “Desperate – Job 13:15 – KEEP TRUSTING GOD:

 

The first word of this message’s title is also the same word of the title of the below anointed song/video, “Desperate (with lyrics)” as performed by Jamie MacDonald.

The below passage of scripture (that accompanies this message) is from the thirteenth verse of the fifteenth chapter of the book of Job:

Job 13:15

New King James Version - (NKJV)

¹⁵ Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.”

 

 The scripture text of “this” message was taken from the “same” scripture text that I read on (February 11th, 2025) in my daily devotional book entitled: “The Word for You Today”.

 

The inspirational message I read on February 11^th, 2025, was titled – “KEEP TRUSTING GOD”. I knew that it was a reminder that I wanted to share in my next message in my “Namma for Christ” blog. I hope you find (some of the excerpts) as inspirational as I did:

 

KEEP TRUSTING GOD

  Job 13:15

 

      The story of Job reads like this: Chapter 1, he is one of the wealthiest men in his generation. Chapter 2, he loses everything, including his health, his wealth, and his children. Chapter 42, he is back on top again. Wouldn’t you like to know what happened from chapters 3 through 41? If so, you should read the book of Job and find out how he had it all, lost it all, got it all back, and ended up with twice as much as he lost. Did Job have unanswered questions? Lots of them. Did he experience grief? Yes, to a depth that is hard to imagine. But Job never changed his mind about God, and God never changed His about Job. This Scripture best summarizes Job’s attitude: “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” If you’re stuck at a place you don’t understand right now, don’t give up on God or yourself. When you don’t understand your circumstances, and it feels like they’re more than you can bear, stand on this great Bible promise: “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for in…the Lord, is everlasting strength” (Isaiah 26:3-4 NKJV). Trusting God does not mean He will answer all your questions, but that He will give you “perfect peace” regardless of the circumstances. Trusting God does not mean that you won’t struggle, but that He will give you “everlasting strength”. So, the word for you today is – keep trusting God, and He will bring you through this.

I pray that you have enjoyed the above message and I pray that you will enjoy the accompanied song.
