❤️ From the Heart of Brother Jesse – Thursday, August 28, 2025 – The Right Time

Dear Beloved in Christ,

One of the most difficult parts of doing good is waiting for the harvest. We live in a world of instant gratification, but God’s blessings come “at just the right time” (Galatians 6:9 NLT). His timing is perfect, even when it doesn’t match our expectations.

There may be days when your efforts seem unnoticed, your kindness unappreciated, or your generosity taken for granted. But the Lord sees every seed you have planted, and He will bring forth a harvest that will far exceed anything you could imagine.

Hold on to His promise today. Keep doing good. Keep loving. Keep serving. The harvest will come.

❤️ From the Heart of Brother Jesse – Wednesday, August 27, 2025 – Opportunities All Around Us

Dear Beloved in Christ,

Galatians 6:10 reminds us that “whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.” Opportunities to do good are all around us, if we are willing to look.

Sometimes they are obvious—a neighbor in need, a church member going through hardship. Other times, they are hidden in the quiet moments—a word of encouragement, a listening ear, or a prayer whispered on someone’s behalf.

Today, ask God to open your eyes to the opportunities He has placed before you. Remember, doing good is not reserved for grand gestures. It is often found in the small, everyday acts of love that reflect the heart of Christ.

🎂 A Milestone of Gratitude: Sixty Years of God’s Faithfulness

Dear Beloved in Christ,

Today marks my 60th birthday, and as I reflect on these years, my heart is filled with gratitude to the Lord who has carried me every step of the way. My journey has not been without valleys—loss, uncertainty, and moments when the future seemed clouded—but through it all, God’s unfailing love and sustaining grace have never let me go.

My parents’ lives were shorter than I would have wished—both passing before they reached the age of 65. I have often thought about how short life can be, and how each moment is a gift we cannot take for granted. That is why I cherish each day God gives me and count every opportunity to serve Him as a blessing beyond measure.

In these sixty years, the Lord has allowed me to serve as a chaplain, to share His Word through SFIHG Ministries, and to walk alongside many of you in faith. I have seen His hand at work in the small and in the great—in answered prayers, in moments of unexpected joy, and in the quiet assurance that He is with us.

As I celebrate this milestone, I do so with a heart that says, “Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to Your name goes all the glory for Your unfailing love and faithfulness” (Psalm 115:1 NLT). My prayer is that the years ahead—whether many or few—will be spent serving Him wholeheartedly, loving others well, and planting seeds that will bear fruit for His Kingdom.

Thank you for walking this journey with me. Your prayers, encouragement, and fellowship mean more than words can express. Together, let us keep pressing forward in faith, trusting the One who holds our past, present, and future.

📬 From Brother Jesse – Tuesday, August 26, 2025 – Giving Without Expecting in Return

Dear Beloved in Christ,

In Luke 21:1–4, Jesus praised a poor widow who gave all she had—not to be seen by others, but out of pure devotion to God. This is the heart of giving: not expecting anything in return, but doing it because it is the right thing to do.

At SFIHG Ministries, we follow that same principle. We freely share every message, prayer, and Bible study without charging a fee. We do not sell subscriptions or merchandise. Everything we provide is a gift to encourage believers and reach the lost with the Good News of Christ Jesus.

If our ministry has been a blessing to you, would you prayerfully consider helping us continue? Your gift—whether great or small—will make an eternal impact. Simply click the “Donate” button on our website to give through our “Buy Me a Coffee” page.

Thank you for your love, prayers, and generosity. Like the widow’s offering, every gift given in faith is precious in the eyes of the Lord.

❤️ From the Heart of Brother Jesse – Tuesday, August 26, 2025 – The Heart of the Widow

Dear Beloved in Christ,

The story of the poor widow in Luke 21:1–4 has always touched my heart. She gave all she had, not for recognition, but out of pure devotion to God. Her gift was small in the eyes of men, but priceless in the eyes of the Lord.

Doing good as Christians should follow that same spirit—not motivated by applause or earthly reward, but by love for God and others. Our good deeds are seeds sown into eternity, not just transactions for immediate benefit.

Let us remember the widow’s heart today. May our acts of kindness and generosity come from a place of love, not obligation, and may we trust that God sees and values every single one.

❤️ From the Heart of Brother Jesse – Monday, August 25, 2025 – Keep Planting Seeds

Dear Beloved in Christ,

Yesterday’s message reminded us of the truth that we will always reap what we sow. If we plant seeds of kindness, generosity, and love, the harvest will reflect the Spirit’s work in our lives. The challenge we face is to remain faithful even when we don’t immediately see the results.

The Apostle Paul encourages us not to grow weary in doing good because the Lord’s timing is perfect. Every act of love, no matter how small, is noticed by God. We may never know this side of heaven the full impact of our actions, but we can rest assured that our labor in the Lord is never in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58 NLT).

So today, keep planting those seeds. Smile at the stranger. Offer help to the one in need. Pray for those who are hurting. The harvest will come in due season.

📬 From Brother Jesse – Sunday, August 24, 2025 – Planting Seeds for the Harvest

Dear Beloved in Christ,

Today’s message, Do Not Grow Weary: The Reward of Faithful Goodness, reminds us that every act of kindness, every prayer, every gift given in the name of the Lord is a seed planted for eternity. God promises that “at just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up” (Galatians 6:9 NLT).

Our ministry plants seeds every day through messages, prayers, Bible studies, and devotionals freely shared with all who seek encouragement from God’s Word. None of these seeds would be planted without the faithful support of those who believe in this work.

If God has placed it on your heart, I humbly ask you to consider giving to SFIHG Ministries today. Your gift—large or small—is a seed that will help us continue to spread the Gospel. You can give by clicking the “Donate” button on our website, which links to our “Buy Me a Coffee” page.

Together, we can plant seeds that will grow into a harvest of blessing for countless lives.

✟ Do Not Grow Weary: The Reward of Faithful Goodness

The Apostle Paul’s words to the Galatian believers remind us of an unchanging truth: God’s justice cannot be mocked. Just as a farmer reaps what he plants, our actions—good or bad—will produce a harvest in due time. This principle is not only about avoiding sin; it is also about faithfully doing good, even when the world offers no applause.

In our fast-paced, results-driven culture, we are often tempted to look for immediate rewards for doing good. Yet, the Kingdom of God operates on a different timetable. The seeds we plant today in kindness, generosity, and compassion may not yield an instant return, but in God’s perfect timing, they will produce a harvest far greater than we can imagine.

Paul draws a sharp contrast: those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will reap decay and death, but those who live to please the Spirit will reap eternal life.

When we sow to the flesh, our efforts are self-serving. They may produce temporary satisfaction, but the end result is emptiness. Conversely, when we sow to the Spirit—living in obedience to God’s Word, motivated by love and humility—the harvest is everlasting.

Think of it this way: if a farmer plants weeds, he cannot expect a field of wheat. Likewise, if we plant selfishness, we cannot expect a harvest of righteousness.

Paul knew the human heart. He understood that doing good can be exhausting, especially when it seems unnoticed or unappreciated. But here’s the key: we are not doing good to impress others; we are doing it to honor the Lord.

Our reward is not determined by public recognition but by God’s promise—“at just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.” The timing of the harvest belongs to Him, and His timing is always perfect.

This is where the story of the poor widow speaks so powerfully. In Luke 21:1–4 NLT, we read:

“While Jesus was in the Temple, He watched the rich people dropping their gifts in the collection box. Then a poor widow came by and dropped in two small coins. ‘I tell you the truth,’ Jesus said, ‘this poor widow has given more than all the rest of them. For they have given a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she has.’”

The widow’s act was not grand in the eyes of men, but it was precious in the eyes of the Lord. She gave without expecting anything in return, purely out of devotion. That is the heart of doing good—it’s not about the size of the gift, but the sincerity and sacrifice behind it.

Paul concludes with a call to action: “Whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.”

This is not a selective kindness; it is a consistent, Spirit-led lifestyle.

• Doing good to everyone means we show love to friend and stranger alike, even those who have wronged us.
• Doing good especially to the family of faith means we bear one another’s burdens, support one another in times of need, and strengthen the witness of the church.

Opportunities to do good are everywhere if we are willing to look for them. Sometimes it is a word of encouragement, a helping hand, a meal for someone in need, or a quiet prayer for a hurting soul. Other times it may mean sacrificial giving, much like the widow’s offering—hidden from the crowd, but seen by God.

The Christian life is not a sprint; it is a lifelong planting season. Every act of kindness, every prayer lifted for another, every selfless deed is a seed planted in the soil of eternity.

We must not let discouragement stop us from doing what is right. Your labor in the Lord is never in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58 NLT). You may not see the harvest today, but God has promised that in due season, it will come.

So, let us go on doing good—not for applause, not for personal gain, but because it is what honors Christ. Like the widow, let us give all we can—not just from our surplus, but from our hearts—trusting that the God who sees in secret will reward in His time.

So, I say to you, “May the Lord strengthen your faith and use it for His glory, as you walk humbly in His presence.”

❤️ From the Heart of Brother Jesse – Friday, August 22, 2025 – What Will You Do Today?

Dear friends,

As this week comes to a close, I ask you one simple question: What will you do today?

Not what will you pray about. Not what will you think about. But what will you actually do to honor God and love your neighbor?

Faith without action is not faith at all—it is only belief. But when belief meets obedience, we become instruments of God’s grace in a world that is desperate for it.

You know what is right. Now go and do it—with courage, love, and faith.

Pressing on with you,
Brother Jesse
