How to find the path to prosperity?

Have you noticed what we say to each other when the Year ends …? We wish you all a Happy and prosperous New Year!

To prosper is to advance, to grow, to move forward. So, when we think about prosperity, we think about the future.

Do you think 2021 can be a prosperous year in your life?

Do you think, want or need?

In fact, the distance between being prosperous and wanting to be prosperous is not wanting too much or needing too much … who doesn’t? Many need it!

It is also not to have a hunch or even a feeling.

The difference is in finding, finding the path to prosperity!

So I want to leave here some tips of what we learn from the Word of God about it:

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”

Isaiah 43:18-19

Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3:13-14
  1. Anyone who wants to prosper cannot look back
  2. Whoever wants to prosper, has to focus on the target
  3. Whoever wants to prosper, must learn to recognize the new

If to prosper is to move forward, how then do we live looking back? Don’t let the marks of the past trap you!

If to prosper is to succeed, we must achieve goals; and for that, we have to be clear about what our target is. As has been said a lot; “For those who do not know where to go, any place is a destination …”.

If prospering is growing in the future, we cannot restrict ourselves to the comfort zone of what we already know how it works, and venture into the new of God for us.

Take the opportunity to really declare a Happy New Year in the lives of your brothers and friends!

And a Happy 2021 to all of us…

We graduated from the Google Play Apps Accelerator 2026

We graduated from the Google Play Apps Accelerator 2026

We believe that technology and faith can walk hand in hand. This conviction has driven us since the very first day of the JFA Bible, and over the past few months it has led us to experience one of the most remarkable chapters in our history: we graduated with our new Bible AI app as part of the first global cohort of the Google Play Apps Accelerator 2026. We want to share with you not only the outcome, but also the behind-the-scenes journey of everything that happened. The invitation that changed our year At the end of 2025, Google launched the first edition of the Google Play Apps Accelerator, a pioneering global program that selected only 38 high-potential apps from around the world. Among them, only two were Brazilian, and Bible AI was one of them. We received the news with a mix of joy and gratitude. 12 weeks of the program During twelve intensive weeks, we immersed ourselves in masterclasses led by leaders in the global tech industry, one-on-one mentoring sessions covering everything from technical scalability to leadership, and exclusive conversations with experts from Google and some of the world’s largest technology companies. Every session helped us think bigger, […]

Prayer: Running from religious fear

Prayer: Running from religious fear

In the previous text, we talked a little about religious OCD and how it takes our focus away from what Christ truly expects from us. Today, I want to invite you to pray with me about this subject, so that we may feel free in the Father’s presence, seeking Him with love, gratitude, and true peace. You do not need to pray exactly as I will write here. Open your heart genuinely to God. But it will be a pleasure to accompany you in this moment of prayer and seeking. Prayer Father, I know that many times my mind is filled with fear, guilt, and thoughts that steal the peace of my faith. I know that You do not want me to live imprisoned by spiritual anxiety, constantly trying to earn a love that was already given to me on the cross. Teach me to rest in You and to remember that Your love is not sustained by my performance, but by Your infinite grace. When intrusive thoughts come, when the fear of condemnation tries to dominate my heart, and when I feel spiritually overwhelmed, help me remember Your truth. Your Word says that I was not given a spirit […]

Google chose us… Here’s why

If you use the Bible JFA app, this news is yours too. For the past 15 years, we’ve built something together that we never imagined would go this far: over 130 million downloads, with 3 million people opening the app every month to read, study, and connect with the Word of God. These numbers aren’t just ours—they belong to every person who opened the app in a difficult moment, who read a verse before going to sleep, and who shared a passage with someone who needed it. To everyone who has trusted our work. It’s this foundation, built with great care and faith, that gives us the courage to now create new tools. Introducing Bible AI Bible AI (B.AI) is our newest app. A personalized Bible study experience powered by artificial intelligence, designed to learn how you study and walk alongside your spiritual journey—always staying faithful to the biblical text while supporting you in a personal and individual way. It is not a replacement for Bible JFA. It’s the next step for those who want to go deeper—to ask questions, follow their devotional time, develop more in-depth studies and sermons, and much more. What It Means That Google Chose Us […]
