In this episode, we’re reminded of a powerful truth woven throughout Scripture: God’s favor is not fragile. It is steadfast, surrounding His people like a shield. Drawing from the story in Numbers 22:6, we look at the moment King Balak watched Israel from a distance—intimidated not by their numbers, but by the unmistakable presence of God that covered them. His fear drove him to summon Balaam, hoping a curse could sever what he could not defeat.
But just as no curse could override God’s blessing on Israel, no lie from the enemy can override the truth spoken over your life. The real battle is not fought with weapons—it is fought in awareness. The enemy works to cloud your identity, to distract you from the favor already resting on you, to make you forget the power that comes from walking with God. Yet the moment you begin confessing what God has declared, everything shifts. Blessing aligns you with His heart; faith reconnects you with His strength.
This episode calls you to rise in that awareness. Just as Balaam could not curse what God had blessed, the enemy cannot touch what God has sealed. When you speak life over your home, your marriage, your future, you step into the victory already prepared for you. Every attack becomes a testimony, every obstacle a platform for God’s glory.
Through Scripture and prayer, you’re invited to stand firm, to lift your voice, and to walk in the confidence of a believer who knows—deeply and unshakably—that God is for you, God is with you, and His favor will carry you into every breakthrough.

In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave explores 1 Corinthians 2:12, reminding us that as believers, we’ve received God’s Spirit, not the world’s. The Holy Spirit is not just an accessory to our faith—He is the heartbeat of it, revealing the treasures God has already given us.
Dave encourages us to stop living beneath our inheritance. Many Christians fail to walk in daily conversation with the Holy Spirit, leaving their gifts and authority untapped. The Spirit unveils deeper truths about who we are in Christ—empowered, complete, and full of divine potential.
In this episode, you’ll be challenged to ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the gifts and grace already inside you. You were never meant to live powerless. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, empowering you to bring God’s gifts to a world in need.
If you're ready to rediscover the fullness of what you’ve been given, this message will encourage you to listen and move in step with the Holy Spirit.

In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave unfolds a powerful reflection from Numbers 21:23, where Israel faces unexpected resistance from King Sihon. What began as a peaceful request for passage turned into a battle—but behind the conflict was a divine setup for breakthrough.
Dave reveals how every step of obedience stirs opposition, not because God’s people are wrong, but because heaven is advancing. Sihon’s hostility wasn’t random—it was provoked by the presence of purpose. When Israel sought God before acting, they received direction that turned resistance into inheritance. The very ground that denied them became their possession.
Drawing parallels to our own journeys, Dave reminds us that closed doors and rising opposition often signal movement toward promise. The key is discernment—to know when to wait and when to advance under God’s command. When heaven gives the green light, no power can stand against His plan.
Through Scripture and prayer, this episode encourages you to see battles as bridges to destiny. Every obstacle that rises against a surrendered heart is destined to become a testimony of victory.
If you’re facing resistance on the road to your promise, this message will strengthen your faith to keep moving—listening, trusting, and advancing until every “no” becomes God’s “now.”

In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave opens a powerful reflection from 1 Corinthians chapter 1, where Paul pleads with the church in Corinth to return to unity, humility, and the centrality of the cross.
The Corinthian believers were rich in gifts and revelation, but something subtle had begun to divide them. Their devotion had shifted from Christ to personalities—some followed Paul, others Apollos, and still others claimed Christ as their banner of superiority. What looked like loyalty was actually pride. Paul’s heart broke over a church that was celebrating people instead of presence.
With deep pastoral insight, Dave unpacks how Paul redirected their focus: “Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in my name?” In this, Paul was reminding them that every gift, every revelation, every leader flows from one foundation—the cross of Jesus Christ. The Gospel’s power doesn’t rest in eloquence or personality, but in the raw, redemptive strength of a crucified Savior.
Dave draws a striking parallel to our generation—an age of platforms, influence, and names. We’re often tempted to measure calling by visibility and anointing by applause. But just as in Corinth, the Spirit is calling us back to simplicity: to boast only in the Lord. The cross is where comparison dies and unity is reborn. The blood of Jesus doesn’t create camps or cliques; it creates family.
Through Scripture and real-life reflection, Dave reveals that true spiritual power flows through humility, not hype. God still chooses the foolish things to confound the wise, the weak things to shame the strong—so that no one may glory in His presence.
This episode is a call to realign our hearts with heaven—to trade competition for communion, pride for purity, and division for devotion. When the church centers itself again on the cross, confusion breaks, unity returns, and the glory belongs where it should—to Jesus alone.
If you’ve battled comparison, disappointment, or disunity, this message will re-center your soul. May it remind you that your worth was settled at Calvary and your place is secure in His body. One name. One cross. One family.

In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave opens a powerful reflection from Numbers 20:21, where Edom refuses Israel passage through its land—forcing God’s people to turn away. What seems like a simple moment of rejection unfolds into a sobering spiritual picture: when Edom shut its gates, it wasn’t just blocking travelers—it was resisting the very favor of God.
With prophetic insight, Dave reveals how this ancient story mirrors a modern struggle—the tendency to turn away the very people who carry the grace we’ve been praying for. Like Esau trading his birthright for a meal, Edom repeated the pattern of despising what was chosen. And today, when pride, comparison, or offense lead us to dishonor those carrying God’s hand, we risk shutting our doors to divine visitation.
Through Scripture and real examples, Dave shows that favor often comes disguised—in relationships, correction, or opportunities to serve. The way we treat those anointed by God determines how heaven responds to us. Abraham welcomed strangers and unlocked a promise; David was blessed by those who chose to honor him in weakness. Every act of honor invites God’s presence.
This episode is a call to recognize and host favor—to feed what God is doing, not resist it. When you bless what heaven has chosen, you attract blessing to your own house. When you make room for those carrying grace, you make room for God Himself.
If you’ve struggled with comparison, dishonor, or withholding kindness, this message will realign your heart to humility and honor. May it awaken in you the discernment to see God’s favor—no matter how it comes—and the courage to celebrate it.

In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave opens a sobering and timely warning from Romans 16:17, where Paul cautions believers to “watch out for those who cause divisions and offenses.” With pastoral clarity and prophetic urgency, Dave exposes how the enemy’s most effective weapon against the church isn’t persecution—but deception from within.
Through the lens of Scripture, he reveals how division often begins subtly—with a conversation, an offense, or a question that sows doubt. Just as the serpent enticed Eve with dialogue, the enemy still uses words to weaken conviction and disrupt unity. Dave explains how spiritual deception often wears a mask of discernment, and how easily the body of Christ can be ensnared when it lends its ear to the wrong voice.
This episode is a call to vigilance and discernment. Unity is not maintained by emotion, but by conviction. The strength of a church, a family, or a team depends on its ability to guard against the quiet seeds of offense that grow into full-grown division. Dave urges believers to protect the purity of their agreement, honor their leaders, and refuse to entertain voices that tear down what God has built.
If you’ve felt the sting of offense, confusion, or disconnection, this message will realign your heart to truth and restore your sensitivity to the Holy Spirit’s voice. The snare of division is silent—but discernment keeps you free. As you listen, may the Lord expose every hidden trap, heal every wound of offense, and strengthen your commitment to unity in His body.

In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave uncovers a powerful revelation from Numbers 19—the ordinance of the red heifer—and how it still speaks to the church today. Beneath this often-overlooked passage lies a divine invitation to purity, surrender, and restoration in God’s presence.
Dave explains how the ashes of the red heifer, once mixed with living water, became the means by which Israel was cleansed from defilement. Through this, God revealed that holiness always comes at a cost—through sacrifice and total surrender. In a world surrounded by spiritual decay and compromise, this ancient picture calls believers back to consecration. The fire that consumes also purifies; the ashes of what we lay down become instruments of renewal for others.
With deep insight and pastoral warmth, Dave challenges us to examine the places where spiritual dust has settled on our hearts—to allow the Holy Spirit to wash us again, to restore reverence, and to renew the fragrance of holiness in our lives. The ashes of repentance are not symbols of shame but testimonies of mercy.
If you’ve been feeling spiritually distant, weary, or dulled by life’s battles, this episode will remind you that God still turns ashes into cleansing waters. Purity isn’t perfection—it’s alignment. As you yield to His refining fire, you’ll find renewed intimacy, purpose, and power to carry His presence in a world desperate for holiness.

In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave shares a timely word on the transforming power of God’s goodness.
Drawing from Luke 18 and Romans 15, Dave reminds us that true goodness isn’t human perfection—it’s divine nature expressed through us. When Jesus said, “No one is good except God alone,” He revealed that goodness belongs to God Himself. Yet through the Holy Spirit, that same goodness becomes planted within us, shaping us from the inside out.
Dave explores the depth of the Greek word chrēstotēs, meaning moral wholeness and integrity—a life that is complete and undivided before God. Just as an integer stands whole, the Spirit forms in us a consistency of character that remains steady in both public and private life. This isn’t about performance; it’s about transformation. The Spirit doesn’t manufacture goodness—He produces it, revealing the Father’s heart through surrendered lives.
If you’ve been longing to walk in greater integrity and maturity, this episode will encourage you to stay near His presence. Wholeness comes not through striving, but through abiding. As you yield to the Spirit, His goodness will fill your life until every part of you reflects His nature.

In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave shares a powerful reminder about the sacred weight of God’s call.
Drawing from Numbers 18, Dave reflects on God’s charge to Aaron and his sons—a call not just to serve, but to bear responsibility for the sanctuary and priesthood. The message reveals that the closer we stand to God’s presence, the greater the care and reverence He expects from us. Ministry is not about visibility or title; it’s about living with holy awareness and unwavering obedience.
Dave explains that true service flows from the altar—our provision and strength come from what belongs to God. When the Lord becomes our portion, our inheritance is no longer measured by earthly success but by intimacy with Him. Those who serve in His house are called to purity, humility, and devotion, carrying His presence with fear and love.
If you’ve been weary in your service or distracted by the work itself, this message will call your heart back to reverence. God is your portion, your supply, and your inheritance—and when your heart stays fixed on Him, you will never lack what you need to serve well.

In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave shares a comforting word for those walking through pain and disappointment. Drawing from Paul’s call to “rejoice in the Lord always”—written from a prison cell—Dave reminds us that faith doesn’t remove sorrow; it sustains us through it. Pain isn’t proof of weak faith but of real life in a broken world, and even in the darkest moments, the Holy Spirit offers a joy that no circumstance can steal.
This episode reveals the difference between happiness and joy—happiness depends on what happens to you, but joy flows from who lives within you. Joy isn’t forced; it’s a fruit of the Spirit that rises when we invite the Holy Spirit into our pain. When His presence fills our hearts, mourning turns to worship, grief to communion, and heaviness to praise.
If you’ve lost your smile or strength, let this message remind you: the Comforter is near, and His joy is still alive in you.

In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave shares a stirring word about recognizing what God confirms and honoring what carries His breath. Drawing from Numbers 17, he unpacks how God settled Israel’s doubts by causing Aaron’s dry staff to blossom in His presence—a powerful picture that only what rests before Him can truly live. The budding rod became proof that divine calling isn’t maintained by effort or position but by the sustaining presence of God Himself.
This message reminds us that the evidence of His choosing always carries life. You don’t have to prove what God has already marked—just stay in His presence, and fruit will follow. For those in hidden seasons, Dave encourages you to remain where He’s placed you; transformation often begins in the unseen tent of meeting. When the time is right, God will reveal what He has breathed upon.
If you’ve felt overlooked or weary from striving, let this word restore your confidence in His timing and presence. What feels dry today will soon testify of His life.

In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave brings a profound word on the tension between submission and rebellion, authority and independence, and honor and dishonor. Drawing from Romans 13, he unpacks the biblical call to honor governing authorities—even when those in power are imperfect or corrupt. Dave reminds us that authority is God's design, not man's invention, and when we resist rightful authority, we resist God's divine order. He challenges listeners to move beyond political division and return to a posture of submission that reflects trust in God's sovereignty, no matter the circumstances.
Through this message, Dave encourages us to embrace humility and love as we navigate the complexities of leadership and authority. He highlights how submission is not weakness but strength under control—acknowledging that true honor comes from recognizing God’s hand in all things, even when systems fail. The episode also emphasizes the importance of praying for those in power and walking in love, which fulfills the law of God and enables us to respond rightly, even in difficult times.
If you've wrestled with frustration, offense, or rebellion, this episode is a call to realign your heart with Heaven’s order. Let God restore your posture of honor, bring healing to your spirit, and lead you back into a place of peace under His protection.
Stay humble. Stay submitted. Stay in love. And remember—true authority is always aligned with God's sovereign will.

In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave brings a sobering word on the spirit of rebellion and the call to return to divine order. Drawing from Numbers 16, he revisits the story of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram—men who served near God’s presence but let pride distort their posture. Their rebellion wasn’t loud at first; it began quietly, in the heart, disguised as discernment but rooted in discontent.
Dave reminds us that rebellion doesn’t just oppose leaders—it resists God’s design. He contrasts Korah’s pursuit of recognition with Moses’ posture of surrender, showing that true anointing doesn’t fight for position—it bows before God in humility. Through this message, we are invited to examine our own hearts: to see where honor may have faded, where offense has settled, or where familiarity has dulled our reverence.
This episode calls believers back to the fear of the Lord, to the humility that Heaven trusts, and to the honor that releases divine grace. When we walk in submission to God’s order, we walk under His covering. When we choose humility, we are entrusted with His oil.
If your heart has wrestled with pride, weariness, or offense, this message is a call to realignment. Let God cleanse your posture, restore your honor, and bring you back into rhythm with His heart.
Stay in alignment. Stay in honor. And remember — rebellion divides, but honor unites.

In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, we dive into Romans 12, where Paul challenges every believer to live a life fully surrendered to God. He writes, “Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God.” This isn’t about rituals or religious acts—it’s about allowing every part of our daily lives to become worship.
Through this message, we’re reminded that spiritual transformation begins when we renew our minds and choose not to conform to the world’s patterns. Culture often pulls us in directions that blur our devotion to Christ, but Paul calls us to a higher way—a life that reflects God’s design, values, and truth.
Living as a “living sacrifice” means inviting God into our ordinary moments—our work, our relationships, our rest—and saying, “Lord, this is for You.” It’s not perfection God seeks, but a heart posture of surrender. When He becomes the center of our lives, everything else falls into its rightful place.
This episode encourages us to evaluate our walk: Is God truly at the center? Are we allowing His Word to shape our thoughts and actions? As we align our hearts with Him, our faith becomes alive, our perspective shifts, and we begin to live with renewed purpose and spiritual maturity.
If your heart is longing for deeper surrender or fresh transformation, this message will help you fix your eyes back on Jesus and live each day as an offering to Him.
Let this episode inspire you to renew your mind, offer your life to God daily, and live in the fullness of His will.

In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave reminds us of the mercy of God—the steady anchor that keeps our hearts aligned with His purpose. Drawing from Numbers 15, he reflects on God’s instruction to the Israelites to make tassels with blue cords on their garments—visible reminders of their covenant and calling.
Dave explains how these tassels weren’t just ornaments; they were daily symbols of remembrance. Every movement reminded God’s people who they belonged to and called them back to obedience. In the same way, God still places reminders in our lives today—His Spirit, His Word, His presence—to keep us close to Him.
Forgetfulness can pull us away from purpose, but remembrance restores us to God’s plan. Each answered prayer, fulfilled promise, and moment of grace is a sign that He has not forgotten us. Dave invites us to return to a life of holy awareness—where our words, choices, and steps reflect that we are marked by His covenant love.
If your heart has grown distracted or weary, this message calls you back to remembrance. The same mercy that carried you before is carrying you still. God’s mark is on your life, and He is faithful to lead you forward.
Let this episode renew your awareness of God’s mercy. Remember His goodness, walk in His Word, and keep your steps aligned with His heart.

In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave challenges us to renew our faith and revive our trust in Jesus. Drawing from Romans 11:20–21 and the lessons from Israel’s journey, he reminds us that faith is not a one-time act—it’s a living posture of dependence on Christ every single day.
Over time, familiarity with God’s presence can dull our sensitivity to His grace. We may not stop believing, but we slowly shift our trust—from Christ’s finished work to our own efforts. Dave calls us back to the heart of true faith: resting in what Jesus has already done, not striving in what we can do.
When we rely on our strength, even subtly, we step into pride disguised as humility. But when we anchor our hearts in the cross, faith becomes alive again—fresh, vibrant, and rooted in reverence. Dave urges us to keep returning to the Word, to guard our faith with holy fear, and to never take for granted the grace that sustains us.
Let this message stir your spirit to depend wholly on Jesus. Keep your faith alive, keep your heart humble, and keep walking in His steps.

Drawing from Numbers 14 and the life-changing teachings of Apostle Priji Varghese, he reminds us that fear and discouragement are the enemy’s greatest tools to delay our destiny.
When we take our eyes off the Lord, we start searching for safer paths—plans God never wrote. But true faith doesn’t retreat to Egypt; it moves forward into promise. Dave shares how submission to God-appointed leadership preserves our purpose and how courage becomes the soil where faith grows.
Don’t let frustration rewrite your direction or offense disconnect you from your covering. Stay planted, stay submitted, and keep your eyes on the promise—your promised land is still ahead, and God is still faithful to take you there.

In this moving episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave reminds us of a truth that should fill every believer’s heart with awe: you were prepared for glory. Not by chance, not by your own effort, but by the mercy of a God who chose you before time began.
Drawing from Romans 9:23, Dave unpacks the mystery of divine mercy—the God who allows His glory to shine brightest on those He has prepared in advance for Himself. You are not random. You are not forgotten. You are the object of His mercy, handpicked to carry His presence and reveal His glory to the world around you.
Through this message, you’ll discover how the glory of God is not something you earn, but something you guard. It’s a weight we carry in humility, not in pride; in surrender, not in striving. Dave challenges you to live like one who has been chosen for glory—to worship deeply, obey joyfully, and walk humbly, knowing that everything you have is mercy.
If you’ve ever felt ordinary, overlooked, or unworthy, this episode is your reminder that you were set apart to shine. You were prepared, not for destruction, but for glory. Let this truth draw you back to gratitude, to worship, and to a posture of daily surrender before the One who called you His own.
