Another Day in His Steps

In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave turns to Numbers 26, a chapter that unfolds at the threshold of a new season for Israel. After decades in the wilderness, a fresh generation stands poised to inherit the land God promised—but before they move forward, God instructs a census. What might seem like a simple headcount becomes a powerful reminder of something far deeper: God’s faithfulness across generations and the enduring impact of those who remain obedient in seasons of testing.Just as the first generation out of Egypt faltered in disobedience, the new generation now learns that faithfulness in the wilderness is what prepares you for inheritance in the promise. As Dave unpacks this moment, he highlights how every name recorded in the census isn’t just historical detail—it’s testimony. Testimony that God remembers, that God preserves, and that God honors those who choose to stand firm when everything around them shakes. What appears merely administrative is, in truth, a declaration of covenant: God counts those who stayed faithful, and their legacy becomes the foundation for the future.Just as Israel had to pause and remember the cost of their inheritance, we too face the temptation to overlook how our everyday obedience shapes the world that comes after us. In the quiet places—our choices, our prayers, our perseverance—God is forming a legacy. The enemy often pushes us to believe our faithfulness doesn’t matter, that what we do in secret affects no one. Yet Numbers 26 shows that God sees the long view, and the faithfulness of a remnant becomes the pathway through which His promises flow from one generation to the next.This episode reveals the truth that the greatest impact of your obedience isn’t always seen in your own lifetime. Like Israel standing on the brink of promise, we are called to remember that we’re part of a story much bigger than ourselves. When we choose faithfulness—especially in wilderness seasons—we secure spiritual inheritance for those who follow. Your steps of obedience today echo into your children’s children; your unwavering trust becomes the soil where future generations flourish.Through Scripture and prayer, Dave encourages listeners to walk with generational vision, to persevere when the wilderness feels long, and to build a legacy shaped by covenant faithfulness. This is a call to endurance—to trust that God is recording every step, honoring every sacrifice, and weaving your obedience into a story far greater than you can see.Connect: +918861598674 | IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@dave.dsouza⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Father → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠apostlepriji.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daily Strength Podcast → Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HisNearness Church (Bangalore) → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Church Podcast

In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave turns to 1 Corinthians 5, where Paul confronts a church that has allowed compromise to take root in its midst. What seemed like a private matter—a hidden sin left unaddressed—had become a spiritual contagion affecting the entire community. Dave unpacks how Paul’s sharp warning isn’t about punishment, but about protecting the purity, unity, and spiritual health of God’s people.Just as Corinth tolerated what slowly weakened the body, we too face subtle pressures to minimize sin, to ignore what quietly erodes our devotion, and to believe that what we do in secret affects no one else. The enemy doesn’t always attack with force—sometimes he works through the quiet tolerances that dull our spiritual senses. But Paul reminds us that God calls His people to something higher: to holiness that guards the atmosphere of the community. In Corinth’s crisis, Paul urges the believers to confront compromise—not in harshness, but in courageous love that leads to restoration.This episode reveals the truth that the greatest threat to the church isn’t external persecution but internal accommodation. Compromise always starts small, like a little leaven working its way through the whole batch. Yet when we choose purity, when we refuse to let hidden sin linger, when we take responsibility not only for our walk but for the health of the body, we step back into the strength and unity God designed for His people. Like Paul, we are invited to rise with spiritual clarity—removing what weakens us and guarding the holiness entrusted to the church.Through Scripture and prayer, Dave encourages listeners to embrace accountability, confront compromise with grace, and cultivate a community shaped by truth and love. This is a call to courage—to protect the unity of Christ’s body and to walk each day in holiness, integrity, and unwavering devotion.Connect: +918861598674 | IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@dave.dsouza⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Father → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠apostlepriji.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daily Strength Podcast → Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HisNearness Church (Bangalore) → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Church Podcast

In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave explores a fierce and timely truth from Numbers 25, where Israel stands on the edge of promise yet finds itself pulled into compromise. What looked like harmless invitation became a spiritual ambush—seduction, distraction, and idolatry designed to steal the very inheritance God had placed before them. Dave shows how this same pattern plays out in our own lives, not through ancient enemies, but through the subtle forces that try to draw our hearts away from God’s call.Just as Israel lost focus at the threshold of breakthrough, we too face battles that don’t come with warning labels. The enemy works quietly, appealing to comfort, pleasure, and convenience—anything that weakens our devotion. But Dave reminds us that God always raises a standard. In the midst of Israel’s crisis, Phinehas stepped forward in holy courage, confronting compromise and stopping destruction. His boldness wasn’t about violence—it was about decisive, fearless loyalty to God. And that same spiritual conviction is what believers are called to walk in today.This episode reveals how the greatest threat to our destiny is not external opposition, but internal surrender to distraction. Compromise always begins small. But when we choose holiness, when we remove what pulls us away, when we take responsibility for our own purity and purpose, we step back into the inheritance God designed for us. Like Phinehas, we are invited to rise in spiritual authority—driving out anything that weakens our walk and reclaiming the ground God has already given.Through Scripture and prayer, Dave encourages listeners to silence distraction, reject compromise, and stand firm in the freedom Christ has secured. This is a call to boldness—to live as territorial enforcers of God’s promises, walking each day in focus, purity, and unwavering devotion.Connect: +918861598674 | IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@dave.dsouza⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Father → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠apostlepriji.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daily Strength Podcast → Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HisNearness Church (Bangalore) → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Church Podcast

In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave unpacks a powerful truth drawn from 1 Corinthians 4:7–8 (MSG), where Paul reminds the church that everything they possess—every gift, every ability, every moment of access to God—is freely given. What the world measures as competition or comparison becomes irrelevant when you realize that your life is defined not by circumstance, but by the God who lives within you.Dave shows how this single revelation dismantles the pressures that try to shape us from the outside. Just as Paul confronted the mindset of striving in Corinth, we too are called to step out of limitation and into identity. No insecurity can stand when you recognize that your worth does not begin on earth—it begins in the heart of the God who designed you for an extraordinary life. His Spirit moves before we notice, His authority rests on us before we understand it, and His grace empowers us long before we pray for it.This episode reminds us that the enemy’s greatest tactic is to make believers forget what they already carry. When we lose sight of God’s generosity, we start chasing what has already been given. But like Paul urging the church to see their true position, we are called to live from the inside out—letting joy, faith, and divine confidence shape our world rather than the other way around.Through Scripture and prayer, Dave encourages you to release comparison, silence limitation, and walk boldly in the life God has already placed within you—living each day in gratitude, authority, and unshakable joy.Connect: +918861598674 | IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@dave.dsouza⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Father → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠apostlepriji.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daily Strength Podcast → Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HisNearness Church (Bangalore) → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Church Podcast

In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave unpacks a striking moment from Numbers 24:1, where Balaam—once determined to profit from cursing Israel—suddenly recognizes that it pleased the Lord to bless His people. What Balaam intended for manipulation became a revelation: God’s favor flows not from obligation, but from delight.Dave shows how this single shift dismantled every plan spoken against Israel. No curse could stand because the blessing did not begin on earth—it began in God’s joyful heart. In the same way, God’s pleasure still surrounds His people today. His grace works before we see it, His favor positions us before we understand it, and His love moves long before we ask.This episode reminds us that the enemy’s greatest strategy is to make believers doubt God’s delight. When we lose awareness of His favor, we stop expecting what He’s already released. But like Balaam looking toward the desert, we are called to stand still, look up, and recognize the blessing already unfolding over our lives.Through Scripture and prayer, Dave encourages you to step out of striving and into surrender—walking confidently in the goodness of a Father who enjoys seeing His children rise.Connect: +918861598674 | IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@dave.dsouza⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Father → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠apostlepriji.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daily Strength Podcast → Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HisNearness Church (Bangalore) → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Church Podcast

In this episode, we’re reminded that every life, every ministry, and every calling will one day face the fire. Not the fire of destruction, but the fire of revelation—the very test Paul speaks of in 1 Corinthians 3. The foundation may be Christ, but what we build upon that foundation will be proven by flame. Fire doesn’t ask permission; it arrives to reveal what is real, to expose the difference between what was built in God and what was built in self.Just as gold, silver, and precious stones are formed through depth and pressure, the work that truly carries eternal weight is shaped in hidden places—through obedience, sacrifice, and grace. Wood, hay, and straw may look impressive on the surface, but when the heat comes, they cannot endure. And the truth is this: God loves us enough to send refining fire now, not to punish us, but to purify us. Ambition, charisma, success—these can all masquerade as calling until the flame touches them. What survives the fire is what was born of Him.This episode calls you to examine what you’re building. Are you constructing platforms or altars? Monuments to self or ministries unto God? The fire will tell the truth. Yet even this truth is mercy. For if what you built remains, you receive a reward—but even if it burns, the foundation of Christ still holds you steady. You are not rejected; you are refined. The heat you feel is shaping you into a vessel that can carry His glory without cracking under its weight.When the fire passes, what remains in your life will be pure, steady, and eternal—gold that reflects His image. And the greatest reward is not applause, impact, or success, but the voice of the Master saying, “Well done, faithful builder. You built with Me.”Through Scripture and prayer, you’re invited to welcome the refining work of God—to surrender every motive, every dream, every hidden piece of your heart. Let the fire do its holy work. What emerges will carry heaven’s weight and heaven’s beauty. God is not destroying you. He is establishing you.Connect: +918861598674 | IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@dave.dsouza⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Father → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠apostlepriji.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daily Strength Podcast → Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HisNearness Church (Bangalore) → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Church Podcast

In this episode, we’re reminded of a timeless truth echoed throughout Scripture: what God has spoken over your life cannot be overturned. In Numbers 23, Balaam stands before King Balak with every intention of releasing a curse, yet heaven interrupts the agenda of man. Instead of destruction, blessing flows. Instead of accusation, affirmation rises. God’s word towers above every other voice, and His decree becomes the atmosphere His people walk in.Just as Balaam could not reverse God’s blessing on Israel, no voice, no prediction, no opposition can override what God has sealed over you. The real battle is not fought in the noise of accusation—it is fought in the confidence of identity. The enemy aims to distract you with fear, pressure, and comparison, hoping you’ll forget who God has declared you to be. But the moment you stand in the awareness of His covenant, everything shifts. His promise becomes your protection; His faithfulness becomes your foundation.This episode calls you to rise in that truth. Just as Balaam’s attempted curse became a public declaration of blessing, every scheme formed against you becomes an opportunity for God’s glory to be revealed. When you hold fast to what God has spoken, when you walk in the covering of His favor, every mountain meant for your downfall becomes a platform for His grace. You are blessed. You are kept. You are defended by a word that cannot be reversed.Through Scripture and prayer, you’re invited to stand boldly in the blessing already written over your life—to walk with the assurance of someone who knows that heaven’s voice is the final voice. God has spoken. God has established. And God will make it good.Connect: +918861598674 | IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@dave.dsouza⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Father → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠apostlepriji.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daily Strength Podcast → Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HisNearness Church (Bangalore) → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Church Podcast

In this episode, we’re reminded of a powerful truth woven throughout Scripture: every life stands or falls by its foundation. In 1 Corinthians 3, Paul speaks as a master builder, declaring that Christ alone is the cornerstone. While many polish the surface of their lives, the real strength is found in what no one sees—the unseen alignment of the heart with Jesus. Everything lasting begins below the surface.Just as no curse could override God’s blessing on Israel, no storm can shake what is built on Christ. The real battle is not fought with effort—it is fought in foundation. The enemy works to distract you with noise, comparison, and pressure, hoping you’ll neglect the place where true endurance is formed. But the moment you anchor yourself to Jesus, everything shifts. Obedience strengthens your structure; humility secures your footing.This episode calls you to return to that foundation. Just as Balaam could not alter what God established, the fire Paul describes cannot destroy what is rooted in Christ. When you speak truth over your life, when you build with faith instead of striving, every trial becomes a testimony of what God has planted beneath you.Through Scripture and prayer, you’re invited to build deeper, to stand firm, and to walk with the confidence of a believer who knows—deeply and unshakably—that Christ is your foundation. He holds you steady, strengthens your steps, and sustains you through every shaking.Connect: +918861598674 | IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@dave.dsouza⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Father → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠apostlepriji.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daily Strength Podcast → Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HisNearness Church (Bangalore) → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Church Podcast

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.Connect: +918861598674 | IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@dave.dsouza⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Father → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠apostlepriji.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daily Strength Podcast → Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HisNearness Church (Bangalore) → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Church Podcast

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.Connect: +918861598674 | IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@dave.dsouza⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Father → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠apostlepriji.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daily Strength Podcast → Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HisNearness Church (Bangalore) → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Church Podcast

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.”Connect: +918861598674 | IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@dave.dsouza⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Father → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠apostlepriji.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daily Strength Podcast → Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HisNearness Church (Bangalore) → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Church Podcast

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.Connect: +918861598674 | IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@dave.dsouza⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Father → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠apostlepriji.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daily Strength Podcast → Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HisNearness Church (Bangalore) → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Church Podcast

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.Connect: +918861598674 | IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@dave.dsouza⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Father → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠apostlepriji.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daily Strength Podcast → Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HisNearness Church (Bangalore) → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Church Podcast

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.Connect: +918861598674 | IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@dave.dsouza⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Father → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠apostlepriji.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daily Strength Podcast → Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HisNearness Church (Bangalore) → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Church Podcast

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.Connect: +918861598674 | IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@dave.dsouza⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Father → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠apostlepriji.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daily Strength Podcast → Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HisNearness Church (Bangalore) → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Church Podcast

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.
