True blessing under the New Covenant is not measured by material wealth and health, but by spiritual transformation and union with Christ. The mark of God's blessing is internal holiness and a clear vision of Christ, not external prosperity.

Zac Poonen · Jan 12, 2026 · 31m
Zac Poonen continues his exposition of the Sermon on the Mount, emphasizing that Jesus did not come to lower God's standards but to raise them.

Entering God’s Kingdom By Doing His Will — Ajay Chakravarthy — January 11, 2025
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jan 12, 2026 · 31m
The speaker uses the analogy of a driving test to emphasize that entering God's kingdom requires more than just saying Jesus' name; it demands doing the will of the Father. Citing Matthew 7:21, he warns that many who perform good works or miracles will still be rejected if they are acting out of their own will. Jesus serves as the ultimate example, consistently acting only according to the Father's will, which is the standard believers must follow.

January 12 | Daily Devotion | Love Of Money Will Cause Spiritual Blindness | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 11, 2026 · 9m
Love of money causes spiritual blindness and leads to compromise of spiritual principles.

The key warning is that those who love money will miss spiritual truths and God's guidance that others, even the humble and simple, can perceive.

January 10 | Daily Devotion | Self Justification Is An Abomination To God | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 9, 2026 · 8m
Self-justification, exemplified by Aaron's excuses after the golden calf incident, is an abomination to God because it reflects a failure to take responsibility and acknowledge sin. The transcript emphasizes that God values those who take a stand for holiness and obedience—as He honored the sons of Levi for their decisive action against idolatry—and warns that comfort and wealth, rather than hardship, are the greatest threats to a church's spiritual faithfulness and purity.

Santosh Poonen · Jan 8, 2026 · 1m
God desires believers to become partakers of His divine nature, which requires a process of sanctification while still on earth. The speaker clarifies that while justification and cleansing are complete at salvation, sanctification is an ongoing work that continues after conversion. Therefore, one cannot claim ultimate perfection based solely on initial salvation.

Santosh Poonen · Jan 8, 2026 · 1m 1s
True security does not come from God solving external problems, such as career success or relationships.
