Dear Beloved Partners,

We are living in a world where everyone is either failing, surviving, or thriving. But as children of God, we are called to THRIVE! The Bible teaches us why people fail and how we can build a firewall of spiritual protection.

From Adam and Eve, we learn the importance of listening to the voice of our Good Shepherd rather than the opinions of others. Cain teaches us that envy opens a portal to failure—when we covet another’s success instead of celebrating. Lot’s wife reminds us that looking back prevents us from moving forward. Failure is not an option in the Kingdom of God, for He desires us to live from glory to glory (2 Corinthians 3:18). He has destined us to succeed!

Our ability to thrive is rooted in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. When He conquered death, He secured our victory over failure, sin, and limitations. Because He lives, we have the power to rise above challenges and walk in divine abundance. His resurrection ensures us that we are no longer bound by the struggles of the past, but instead, we can embrace a future filled with His promises. Just as Christ was raised to life, we too are called to rise into a life of thriving, living as testimonies of His grace and power.

Philippians 1:6 tells us that God, who began a good work in us, is faithful to complete it. He doesn’t want us merely surviving—He wants us thriving! If we use a biblical metaphor, failure is Egypt, survival is the desert, and thriving is the Promised Land. Jesus did not die on the cross and rise again for us to live in bondage or lack. He desires for us to flourish so that we may be a blessing to others, an answer to someone’s prayer, a reflection of His glory and power.

How do we move from surviving to thriving? It’s through the work of sanctification. Sanctification is a daily work of grace. It takes our wounds and turns them into healed scars that testify of his victory in our lives.
