Every day in the God's Word

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

SATURDAY JANUARY 17, 2026.

SUBJECT: WHAT HAS THE LORD SAID?

Memory verse: "So David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?” And He answered him, “Pursue: for you shall surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.” (First Samuel 30 vs 8.)

READ: First Samuel 23 vs 1 - 5:

23:1: Then they told David, saying, “Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are robbing the threshing floors.”

23:2: Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go and smite these Philistines?” And the LORD said to David, “Go, and attack the Philistines, and save Keilah.”

23:3: But David's men said to him, “Look, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”

23:4: Then David inquired of the LORD once again. And the LORD answered him and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah. For I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.

23:5: And David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and fought with the Philistines, struck them with a mighty blow, and took away their livestock. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.

INTIMATION:

What has the Lord said in that matter? What has He said in your situation? What has He said in that endeavor of yours? Such questions aforesaid are the beginning of a wise decision and action. Inquiring from the Lord puts us on a safe drive to God ordained destination. It makes us triumphant in all our lives' endeavors. This truth is known from ancient times.

God is the source of all truth. Whoever seeks the truth from Him will receive it and will be preserved from error. This is His promise. Knowledge of this led the faithful of ancient times to enter into communion with God when seeking the truth and the right ways. In ancient times they did not expect this communion to come about and to bring conviction by way of inner illumination, but by way of revelations of the truth received from without, and sent by the Lord in a manner perceptible to the human senses.

They inquired of God by means of human expedients, and were answered by Him through the same channel. They were well aware that the good spirit world in the service of God is the agent of His Will, and that to consult the spirit beings of God's Kingdom is equivalent to inquiring of God Himself. They were equally well aware that there is such a thing as an evil spirit world, and daily experience had taught them the possibility of communicating with this also.  

At all times before the birth of Jesus Christ and in the early days of His era, the godly made liberal use of the privilege of inquiring of God. The writings of the Old and the New Testament abound in instances in which it is related that the faithful, when desirous of learning the truth, inquired of God and received their answers, transmitted to them through God's spirits. If you will open your Bible and carefully read through its Books one by one, you will find my statement confirmed. Wherever in the Scriptures you find a reference to inquiring of God, you will also find confirmation of the truth that God will send His answer, to all those who obey Him, turn to Him, and who appeal to Him for counsel, in a way that they can clearly understand.  

David was a classic example of a man who was extensively used to the practice of inquiring from God, and the results are known to all Bible scholars. David sought the Lord’s guidance before he took action. He listened to God’s directions and then proceeded accordingly. This is the way to go by all believers in God. This privilege is given to us by God Himself. He said, “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” (Jeremiah 33 vs 3.) 

David’s trust and confidence in God’s guidance among other things is unparalleled in the Scriptures. David fought his battles the way God instructed him. In each instance he (1) asked if he should fight or not, (2) followed instructions carefully, and (3) gave God the glory. He never, at any point, tried helping God like King Saul. 

For Christians, we can err in our “battles” by ignoring these steps of David, and instead: (1) Do what we want without considering God’s Will, (2) do things our way and ignore advice in the Bible or from other wise people, and (3) take the glory ourselves or give it to someone else without acknowledging the help we received from God. All these responses are sinful.

Wisdom demands that rather than trying to find God’s Will after the fact or having to ask God to undo the results of our hasty decisions, we should take time to discern God’s Will beforehand. We can hear Him speak through the counsel of others, His Word, and the leading of His Spirit in our hearts, as well as through circumstances.

For instance, David knew he would become king (First Samuel 16 vs 13; 23 vs 17; 24 vs 20), and although the time seemed right when Saul was dead, but David still asked God if he should move back to Judah, the home territory of his tribe (Second Samuel 2 vs 1). Before moving ahead with what seems obvious. He first brought the matter to God, who alone knows the best timing. This should be the pattern of all believers in Christ.

Only those who put their whole faith in Him and who look to Him for help, will God allow to inquire of Him. But all those who hold communion with the ‘evil one’ and who look for help to the spirits of the Abyss, God will reject. It is not the half-hearted, not those who today turn to God and tomorrow to evil, not those who today pray and devote tomorrow to wickedness, whose appeals for counsel God will answer. This was true in olden times and it is true today.  

Prayer: Abba Father, the end is known to You from the beginning. Endue me with Your excellent spirit that I may seek You, and Your counsel at all time, and in all things, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed. Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

GOD’S EXPECTATION OF YOUR FRUIT

Date: Saturday, January 17th, 2026 

Title: GOD’S EXPECTATION OF YOUR FRUIT

Luke 13:6-7, John 15:1-2

As you move further into this new year, I want you to settle something in your spirit: God has expectations over your life. He is not an onlooker, He is a planter and an investor. Jesus told a parable about a certain man who planted a fig tree in his vineyard and kept coming year after year to look for fruit. For three years he came and found nothing, then he said, Cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground. In the same way, you did not get born again just to occupy space in church. God saved you, planted you in His vineyard and He is coming from time to time to check whether anything is coming out of all His investment over your life.God is not only interested in you being saved and speaking in tongues; He is asking, What is the reason for your salvation. What did I give you the baptism in the Holy Spirit for? Why am I pouring word, anointing, corrections, opportunities and resources into your life? The fruit He is looking for is manifestation. Jesus said He is the true vine and His Father is the husbandman. Every branch in Him that does not bear fruit, the Father takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, He purges so that it can bring forth more fruit. That means God is not indifferent. If you stay barren after all His labour, there are consequences. If you begin to bear fruit, He starts another serious work on you, removing things that are competing with His resources in your life so that you can bring forth more. Many times what you call a hard season is actually the scissors of the Husbandman cutting away weights, relationships, habits and distractions that are swallowing the sap meant for your destiny.So I want you to sit down and look at your life in the light of this truth. What has come out of the last three years of church, teachings, prophecies and experiences in your walk with God? Has your character changed? Has your prayer life grown? Has your obedience increased? Is there any soul, any department, any assignment, any fruit that you can point to as a result of His dealings with you? If not, then this is not the year to joke again, it is the year to respond. Cooperate with His purging. When He begins to touch that friendship, that habit, that use of time, do not argue with Him. When He calls you into deeper commitment in a particular area, respond. Abide in Christ deliberately; stay where the word can clean you and where the Spirit can correct you. If you will allow the Husbandman to work on you this year, you will not just be a planted tree, you will become a fruitful branch that answers God’s expectation and blesses the people He has tied to your manifestation.THOUGHT TO PONDER: If God were to come to inspect your life as His tree, what fruits from the last few years could you honestly lay before Him? How will you respond this year to His purging and dealings so that you move from being a consumer in His vineyard to a truly fruitful branch?

Prayer: Father, help me to take Your expectations seriously, to submit to Your purging and to bear the fruits that answer Your investment in my life. Amen.

Every day in the God's Word

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

FRIDAY JANUARY 16, 2026.

SUBJECT : WHY PRAY?

Memory verse: "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." (Second Chronicles 7 vs 14.)"

READ: Psalm 5 vs 1 - 3: 

5:1: Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.

5:2: Give heed to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I will pray.

5:3: My voice You shall Hear in the morning, O Lord, in the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up.

INTIMATION:

Prayer is to speak reverently to God in order to sincerely express thanks, praise, or make a request. Therefore, to pray is to express one’s desires; praise or appeal to God in words or thought. Prayer brings us closer to God; it not only establishes a relationship with God, it is vital to maintaining our relationship with Him. It helps us in recognizing who God is and offering Him glory, honor, and adoration. The secret of a close relationship with God is built on the altar of prayer. It is essential to start each morning with prayer, when our minds are more free from the usual daily hustles and bustles, and commit the whole day to God. 

Regular communication helps any friendship, and it is certainly necessary for a strong relationship with God. This is evidenced in the life of Jesus. He constantly went before God in prayer to determine God’s Will and direction, resist temptation, ask for courage, discover what His Father in heaven would do, offer thanksgiving, pray for others, etc. Matthew 26 vs 36 - 39 and Mark 14 vs 34 - 41 describe Jesus being very distressed about His crucifixion. He brings this matter to His Father, seeking His Will.

Prayer is one of the greatest opportunities given to man by God. It is one of the greatest privileges and ministries available to all Christians. It brings us in communion with God, and our humbly being in the presence of God at all times is the secret to continual triumph of the believer, hence the reason to pray without ceasing. Indeed, everyone who seeks to take his or her place in the Kingdom of God should seek or learn how to pray effectively. Jesus Christ never taught His disciples how to preach, but rather taught them how to pray. (Matthew 6 vs 9 - 13.) Jesus Christ told the disciples "WHEN YOU PRAY" and not "IF YOU PRAY" therefore, the onus is on us to pray. 

Jesus is a prime example of a life lived by prayer that offers relevance, purpose, answers, and above all, a relationship with God the Father. Jesus prayed wholeheartedly for every move He made, asking God for guidance, leading, and direction. He prayed prayers of thanksgiving, prayers for healing, prayers for His disciples, and prayers for believers—present and future.

Apostle Paul, in First Thessalonians 5 vs 17, advises the believers thus, "Pray without ceasing." For him, prayer is the ultimate lifeline for the believer to God. This attitude of praying at all times is built upon acknowledging our dependence on God, realizing His presence within us, and determining to obey Him fully. We cannot spend all our times on our knees, but it is possible to have a prayerful attitude at all times. And we will find it natural to pray frequent, spontaneous, and short prayers. Short prayer attitude is not a substitute to regular times of prayer, but should be an outgrowth of it. In Philippians 4:6, Paul tells believers to pray for everything with thanksgiving.

Prayer is the platform of seeking direction from God. In Matthew 7 vs 7 - 11, Jesus talks about asking, seeking, and knocking, “For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks finds. And the door is opened to everyone who knocks.” Jesus encourages us to ask God for things. “If you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him?”

Prayer is to be offered in the Name of Jesus (John 14 vs 13), that is, the prayer must accord with His character, and must be presented in the same spirit of dependence and submission that marked His pattern (Matthew 11 vs 26; 26 vs 39, 42; Luke 22 vs 42).

Faith is essential to prayer (Matthew 21 vs 22; Mark 11 vs 24; James 1 vs 5 - 8), for faith is the recognition of, and committal of ourselves and our matters to the faithfulness of God. Sometimes you think that God will not hear you because you have fallen short of His high standards for holy living, but if you have faith, and have trusted Him for salvation, you should know that God has forgiven us and He will listen to us. 

Some other times you grow tired of praying because it seems God is not answering you, but a Christian's persistence in prayer is an expression of faith that God answers prayer. Faith shouldn't die if the answers come slowly, for delay is not denial, and may be God's way of working His Will. Always be confident, and know that God is present, always listening, and always answers in ways that He know are best for us.

Prayer: Abba Father, endue me with spirit of supplication, and total dependence and trust in You. I am persuaded that in Your lovingkindness You will liberally give me if I ask. For without You I can do nothing. Give me the grace to come to You in all things, and at all times, in Jesus Name I have prayed. Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

WHAT ARE YOU SERVICING?

Date: Friday, January 16th, 2026 

Title: WHAT ARE YOU SERVICING?

John 15:4, Isaiah 53:5

You must service your relationship with Jesus if you want to stay in vital union with Him. When you gather with other believers to fellowship, what you are servicing is a relationship. Relationship gives birth to fellowship and the fellowship you activate strengthens the relationship. When you do not get into fellowship, the relationship will begin to die in your experience. That is why some people are closer to their friends than to their own siblings. It is not because blood has changed, it is because of the lack of interaction and failure to service that family relationship. Fellowship is the servicing of a relationship. A deliberate, intelligent fellowship with Jesus will lead to vital union. The Lord wants you to bring this understanding into your walk with Him. When you are not in vital union with Him, He will not be real to you and Christianity will look dry and hard.Relationships carry different weight in our lives because of what we are servicing. You can service a problem to the point where it becomes more real to you than the power of God. A person can have a medical condition that he is servicing by fellowshipping with the doctors report until it becomes stronger in his mind than the word of God that says with His stripes we are healed. Some service their relationship with a human being more than their relationship with God. A man can be closer to his wife than to the Lord, or closer to his pastor than to the Great Shepherd. Your pastor is supposed to be a signpost pointing you to Jesus, not a replacement for Him. It is possible to have a relationship with human beings that is more real than your relationship with God and that is a very dangerous place to live from in these days.So I want to ask you today as you go on in 2026, what exactly are you servicing? What gets your meditation, your time, your excitement and your repeated attention. If you give deliberate, intelligent fellowship to fear, fear will become a vital union in your life. If you service anger, lust, worry or offence, they will grow roots around your heart. But if you choose to service your relationship with the Holy Spirit, His presence will become more real to you than any other thing. Make a decision to change what you are fellowshipping with. Replace endless worry and complaining with speaking the word. Replace idle talk with worship. Replace long hours of mindless entertainment with quality time in the scriptures and in prayer. Choose gatherings that stir your spirit, not the ones that drain it. As you service your relationship with Jesus consistently, you will find that His voice becomes clearer, His leading becomes surer and His life flows through you in fruits that glorify the Father.THOUGHT TO PONDER: What have you been unconsciously servicing with your thoughts, conversations and daily routines and how has it been shaping your inner life. What practical changes will you make from today so that your most serviced relationship becomes your relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to stop servicing my problems and distractions and to start servicing my walk with You until You become the most real person in my life. Amen.

Every day in the God's Word

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

THURSDAY JANUARY 15, 2026.

SUBJECT: THE GIFT OF SPEAKING IN TONGUE! 

Memory verse: "For he who speaks in tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries." (First Corinthians 14 vs 2.)

READ: First Corinthians 14 vs 2 - 5:

14:2: For he who speaks in an unknown tongue does not speak to men, but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.

14:3: But he who prophesies speaks edification, and exhortation, and comfort to men. 

14:4: He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but he who prophesies edifies the church.

14:5: I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that prophesied: for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification.

INTIMATION:

Speaking in tongue is a special prayer language, and a legitimate gift of the Holy Spirit. It is a heavenly language unknown to anyone, and considered as language of angels. The gift of speaking in tongues that continues throughout church history and is so widespread today is the Spirit-prompted ability to pray and praise God in a heavenly dialect, possibly even an angelic language that is not related to anything spoken on earth such as English or French or German or Latin. 

The Holy Spirit personally crafts or creates a special and unique language that enables a Christian to speak to God in prayer, praise, and thanksgiving. This gift is not a human language that one might encounter in some foreign country, but a Spirit-empowered capacity to speak meaningful words that are only understood by our Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God can also provide the interpretation through the one speaking or through another believer. 

It is noteworthy that speaking in tongues is not a sign of spiritual superiority nor the invariable sign of Spirit-baptism or Spirit-filling. There are numerous instances in Acts of true conversion and Spirit-baptism where no tongues are mentioned. No one should put down those Christians who do not speak in tongues. The apostle Paul made several points about speaking in tongues: (1) It is a spiritual gift from God; (2) it is a desirable gift even though it isn’t a requirement of faith; (3) it is less important than prophecy and teaching. Speaking in tongues primarily benefits the speaker. 

The exercise of the gift demands some guidelines so that the purpose of the gift—to help the body of Christ—is not lost. Those who speak in tongues should follow the guidelines. Those who do not speak in tongues ought not seek the gift as a sign of salvation or for special closeness with God, for it is neither. It is a gift of God, given only to whomever God chooses. If a person has not experienced the gift of tongues, he or she ought not seek it but seek what gifts God has given.

The gift of speaking in tongues is of no value to the congregation as a whole, only to the person who speaks to God in the unknown language. But if the person also has the gift of interpretation, the tongue could be used in public worship if the one praying (or someone else with the gift of interpretation) would then interpret what has been said. This way the entire church or congregation would be edified by the gift. 

The apostle Paul says that the one who speaks in a tongue “speaks not to men but to God” (First Corinthians 14 vs 2). This means that tongues is a form of prayer: “For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.” (First Corinthians 14 vs 14.) 

Tongues is also a form of praise: “What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.” (First Corinthians 14 vs 15.) 

It is also a way in which we give thanks to God: “Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the room of the uninformed say “Amen” at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you say? For you indeed give thanks well, but the other is not edified.” (First Corinthians 14 vs 16 - 17.) 

Tongues is also a way in which we edify or strengthen ourselves: “He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.” (First Corinthians 14 vs 4.) It is noteworthy that self-edification is a good thing, as we are commanded in Scripture to edify ourselves: “But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,” (Jude 20.) Self-edification is only bad if it is done as an end in itself. It is good to take whatever steps you can to edify yourself, to build up and strengthen your soul, so that you might be better able and equipped to build up others (see First Corinthians 12 vs 7). 

The self-oriented use of the gift of tongues by believers must be carefully practiced in order not to pursue self-development at the expense of broken, lost people. When we give too much attention to our own needs, ideas, and spiritual expression, we may push aside the Spirit’s true desire and abandon those who need encouragement. 

Spiritual gifts are beneficial only when they are properly used to help everyone in the church. We should not exercise them only to make ourselves feel good. No matter what gift(s) a person has, all spiritual gifts are distributed by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit decides which gift each believer should have. We are responsible to use and sharpen our gifts, but we can take no credit for what God has freely given us.

Prayer: Abba Father, thank You for Your manifold spiritual gifts in the body of Christ. I crave for the gift of speaking in tongues that can enable me communicate with You directly; praying, praising, and giving You thanks, and edify myself; building myself up in the most holy faith, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed. Amen.

RUNNING YOUR OWN DIVINE PROGRAMME

Date: Thursday, January 15th, 2026 

Title: RUNNING YOUR OWN DIVINE PROGRAMME

Romans 8:19, Hebrews 6:12

The whole creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. That means creation is not just waiting for Christians in general, it is waiting for you in particular to show up in the programme God wrote for your life. One of the ways many believers weaken that manifestation is by comparison. God is investing in you because of the future He planned for you, not because of what your friends are doing. Just because you share a house and even a bed with someone does not mean you did the same things overnight. You do not know what they read, what they prayed, what they watched or what they discussed while you slept. In the same way, you do not know what God has in mind for them and what He has in mind for you.The Bible says we should be followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. You follow faith and patience, not fashion and pressure. There is a difference between learning principles from those ahead of you and trying to copy people whose journey is completely different from yours. Some Christians are carrying visions that will touch nations, yet they want to live like people who are only planning to survive in one street. God knows what you are carrying, so He begins to put you through a stricter programme. While some people can sleep all night, the Holy Spirit is waking you to pray because of the battles He wants you to win ahead of time. You are meant to be a guide for someone’s future, but you will delay that person’s destiny if you keep postponing your own growth. Personal commitment is required to bear much fruit.So as you move further into 2026, stop complaining that your life is tighter than your friend’s life. Instead of murmuring, ask the Holy Spirit, Lord, what are You preparing me for that is making You demand this level of discipline. Stop trying to escape from every training that stretches you. Stay with the reading schedule He gave you, the prayer time He instructed, the service He planted you in, the financial discipline He is teaching you. Do not abandon your divine programme because a friend without any future plan seems to be enjoying more freedom. That freedom is very expensive; it is being paid for with their tomorrow. Decide that you will not manifest partially. You will press with God until everything He has put inside you comes into the open, in character, in calling, in capacity and in impact. That is how your life will answer the groaning of creation and bring glory to the Father.THOUGHT TO PONDER: In what areas have you been comparing yourself to friends instead of submitting to the specific programme God is running for your life? What concrete steps will you take this year to embrace His disciplines and follow those who through faith and patience inherit the promises?

Prayer: Father, deliver me from unhealthy comparison and help me to stay with the programme You designed for me until my full manifestation appears. Amen.

Every day in the God's Word

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

WEDNESDAY JANUARY 14, 2026.

SUBJECT: CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS FOR GOOD WORKS! 

Memory verse: "Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. (Titus 2 vs 14.)

READ: Ephesians 2 vs 4 - 10: 

2:4: But God, who is rich in mercy, because for His great love with which He loved us,

2:5: even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ, (by grace you have been saved;)

2:6: and raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 

2:7: that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

2:8: For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 

2:9: not of works, lest anyone should boast.

2:10: For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

INTIMATION:

We are saved and became Christ followers through God’s unmerited grace, not as the result of any effort, ability, intelligent choice, or act of service on our part. However, out of gratitude for this free gift of salvation, we will seek to do good works; helping and serving others with kindness, love, and gentleness. While no action or work we do can help us obtain salvation, God’s intention is that our salvation will result in acts of service and good works. We have been created anew in Christ by obedience to the gospel. We have been so created, not by good works, but for good works. 

The Christ follower owes all that he or she is to God who gave us a reason for transforming our thinking and life (Romans 12 vs 1 - 2). Through the manifestation of God’s grace, Christ followers have been driven by faith to conform their lives to the Will of God. They do good works in thanksgiving to the grace of God (Second Corinthians 4 vs 15). The Christ follower is not saved by works of merit that he or she has devised according to his or her own desires. They are saved for the purpose that God might work through them. Therefore, they do good works in response to what God has done for them. 

It is our works that manifest our response to the grace of God. They are indication of our thankful response to God for His gift of grace. It is noteworthy that final judgement will be based on our deeds because they proclaim what sort of heart is within us. When we realize how far God had to send His Son in order to redeem us from condemnation, we respond with a life of thanksgiving. Our good works, therefore, are works of thanksgiving, not works of merit. We should continue to believe in God in order to maintain good works. Our maintaining of good works manifest our belief in God and appreciation for His grace.

While good works can’t save us or even increase God’s love for us, they are true indications of our faith and love for Christ. Discipleship for Christ followers is not optional, but a requirement. Every believer should be involved in good works. In carrying out good works, Christ followers will develop a solid spiritual foundation of a good character that is fit for eternal dwelling. Good works manifest the goodness of one’s heart. We therefore, judge ourselves by our works, for it is by our works that we manifest our hearts (Second Corinthians 5 vs 10). 

Christ followers are the light of the world, and their light should shine before everyone that when they observe or see their light, which is their good works, they will glorify our Father in heaven. If we live for Christ, we will glow like lights, showing others what Christ is like. Christ followers must behave with integrity among the unbelievers in whose presence they live. They must behave in a way that presents hope to others. In doing this, they influence others for good, and also bring glory to God. If your actions are above reproach, even hostile people will end up praising God. Gracious, godly, and winsome behavior on the part Christ followers could even win some of the unsaved souls to the Lord. 

Prayer: Abba Father, thank You for Your free gift of salvation to me. Give me the grace to represent Christ appropriately in good works, that they will see my good works and glorify You, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!
