“In him was life; and the life was the light of men.” John 1:4
I was the first in my family to graduate from a university, the first to wait until I was married to have children, the first to own and operate a graphic design business, the first to lead a global women’s ministry, the first to go to grad school, the first to publish books and the first to release music. It still takes the supernatural help of Holy Spirit for me to embrace the reality that I am a pioneer. A pioneer is one that goes before to remove obstructions or prepare the way for another. Because no one in my surroundings has done what God has called me to do, I have had to read books, watch documentaries of great men and women, and look to Jesus, who is my example.
No one on earth had ever fed multitudes of people with three fish and five loaves of bread. No one had performed healing miracles, raised the dead, cast out demons, or calmed stormy seas with just a word. Instead of fighting the pioneer within Himself, Jesus embraced it. He understood that He was paving the way for you and me to do great works and be with Him where He is.
My sister, God has called you to be a pioneer. You will be the first in your family to do great works, live on that level, and achieve wonderful things for God’s glory. Yes, you are paving the way for others who will come after you and you will drop a ladder. I declare over you now that just as Jesus completed His assignment, so will you. Just as Jesus stole away to receive strength and wisdom from His Father, so will you. Just as Jesus didn’t allow Himself to be thrown off course by the opinions of those who had never done what He was sent to do, you won’t either. You will be the beautiful pioneer God has created you to be.
Prayer: Father, thank you for your encouragement to the core of my being. You have called me to do something no one around me has ever done. Help me, Lord, to be the pioneer you’ve created me to be. My trust is in you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

This devotion is such a blessing to me, especially in this season of my life when everything seems to be falling apart. I am facing hardships that I honestly don’t know how to overcome, and right now, I badly need a remote job just to survive and keep going.
Yet somehow, through these words, the Lord is gently opening my closed mind and heart, reminding me to trust Him even when I cannot see what He is doing. John 1:4 reminded me that in Him is life, and that life is the light that keeps us going even in the darkest seasons.
Maybe I don’t understand this season yet, but I choose to believe that God is preparing a way where I cannot see one. I may be struggling, but I will keep going. I may be afraid, but I will continue to trust. Lord, please lead me, provide for me, and give me the strength to walk through this. I believe You are not finished with me yet. 🙏🏻🤍

Thank you, Father for opening my eyes to see how you have made me a pioneer; that I was created for such a time as this; and that you did indeed place in the Family You placed me in; not so they would help me as much as I would help them. It’s me for them. This is one way I present my body as a living sacrifice to You. Thank you that my strength comes from You. My wisdom comes from You and my hope for the future comes from You. Thank You that in returning and rest. I find my confidence and strength in You. Sometimes I feel like this is too much and I can’t do it that it’s beyond me, but I know it’s not by my might, it’s not by my power, but by Your Spirit that I will go great things, and fulfill the good works You wrote down in Your Book did you plan long ago for me to do. Thank you for your good plans of peace and the future for hope and not of evil.
