SUBJECT : ESSENTIALS OF AN EFFECTUAL AND WINNING PRAYER!

Memory verse: "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” (Philippians 4 vs 6.)

READ: Matthew 6 vs 9 vs 13:

6:9: In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

6:10: Your kingdom come. your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

6:11: Give us this day our daily bread. 

6:12: And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.

6:13: And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, Amen..

INTIMATION:

Prayer is making supplication or petition to God. It is speaking fervently to God in order to express thanks or make a request, and earnestly entreating God in sincerity of your intention. It’s the greatest privilege and ministry available to any Christian. It is the greatest assets for the believer. Indeed everyone who seeks to take his or her place in the kingdom of God should seek or learn how to pray effectively. Prayer is not optional for the believer because it is one of our vital covenant responsibilities. 

Because prayer, in itself, is our fellowship with the Father, He awaits us to come to him in prayers, and consequently welcomes us in fellowship with Him. It is noteworthy that our Master, Jesus, never taught His disciples how to preach but rather taught them how to pray; He said to His disciples "When you pray" and not "If you pray," and it’s for this reason that the Word of God admonishes us to pray always; "Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart." (Luke 18 vs 1.) And "pray without ceasing." (Thessalonians 5 vs 17.)

Prayer has remained the key to an excellent way to maintain a constant grace of God in your life and correct priorities throughout the day. A disciplined prayer life entails going to God in prayers often, preferably three times a day; morning, afternoon and night. The Psalmist in Psalm 55 vs 17 says:-"Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice" 

Unfortunately, however, many people have tales of ineffective use of this asset, or have failed in their battles against the devil and his cohorts. The reason being that they have failed to properly engage the essentials of effectual and winning prayer. They have failed to take advantage of the privilege, or they approached it wrongly.

The apostle James in his epistle, James 4 vs 2 - 3, tells us the reason for their failure,

"You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss....." 

James mentions the most common problems in prayer. These problems he enumerated as; not asking, asking for the wrong reasons, asking for the wrong things, asking for the wrong purposes. Until you know the meaning of prayer and how to pray correctly, you cannot win with prayer, and will never be free from pressures. It takes praying aright to be heard and to win. The kingdom of God is a kingdom governed by principles. Everything is expected to be done according to the guidelines of the Word of God, otherwise it will yield no profit.

Your answers to the questions listed below will help you know how rightly or wrongly you have engaged the essential of effectual and winning prayer:-

1. Do you talk to God at all?

2. If yes, when do you talk to Him?

3. What do you talk about?

4. Do you ask only to satisfy your desires?

5. Do you seek God's approval for what you already planned to do?

Sincere self-evaluation will help you so much in achieving the right fellowship with the Father in heaven and our Messiah Jesus Christ.

To ensure our adherence to right principles for effectual and winning prayer, Jesus taught His disciples how to pray. The prayer is anchored on four essential points:-

1. Praises to God.

2. Pray for His work in the world.

3. Pray for our daily need.

4. Pray for help in our daily struggles.

Our Lord’s Prayer, enumerated in the passage we read today, is the prototype for effectual and winning prayer. It is a failure-proof prayer guide. It is called “our Lord's Prayer” because Jesus gave it to the disciples. When you get it right winning is assured.

Prayer: Abba Father, endue me with the spirit of supplication with thanksgiving unto You, that my prayers may ascend to You with a sweet smelling savor, pleasing and acceptable to You for my good, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

BIRTH ISHMAEL IN MARRIAGE

Date: Tuesday, December 30th, 2025 

Title:  BIRTH ISHMAEL IN MARRIAGE

Genesis 16:2, Galatians 4:23

When marriage is handled outside divine order, the result is Ishmael—something born of impatience and flesh that wars against the promise. Sarah, weary of waiting, told Abraham, “Go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her” (Genesis 16:2). Abraham yielded, and Ishmael was born. Galatians 4:23 explains, “He who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.” That one decision, though seemingly practical, birthed a conflict that continues to this day. The lesson is clear: when you step outside God’s process in marriage, you invite battles that will outlive you.Many Christians, under pressure of age, culture, or family expectations, have made Ishmael choices in marriage. They thought they were solving a problem, but they created bigger ones. Ishmael marriages drain peace, sap strength, and complicate destiny. Unlike Isaac, who came by promise, Ishmael came by human calculation. God is not obliged to back what He didn’t initiate. That is why some unions are full of constant strife—because they were born out of flesh, not Spirit. Don’t assume that because a choice looks logical or convenient, it is divine. Flesh can birth, but only Spirit produces promise.Practically, wait for Isaac. Don’t marry just to silence pressure or please people. Refuse to let impatience push you into wrong unions. Ask yourself: “Is this marriage born of Spirit or of flesh?” If you are already married, don’t despair—commit your home to God and trust Him to turn what looks like Ishmael into a platform for grace. But if you are still waiting, don’t compromise. Isaac always comes, though he may tarry. The will of God will never be late. Marriage is too serious for experiments; only what is born of promise will carry destiny without sorrow.THOUGHT TO PONDER: Am I allowing pressure to push me into birthing Ishmael in marriage? Am I willing to wait for Isaac, God’s covenant choice, no matter how long it takes?

Prayer: Lord, deliver me from impatience that births Ishmael. Help me to wait for Isaac, the covenant fulfilment of Your promise.

WHEN MARRIAGE BECOMES A SNARE

Date: Monday, December 29th, 2025 

Title: WHEN MARRIAGE BECOMES A SNARE

Judges 16:19–20, Nehemiah 13:26

Marriage is meant to be a blessing, but outside God’s will, it becomes a snare. Samson, anointed from the womb, lost his consecration and strength through his involvement with Delilah. The Bible says, “She made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head… And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him” (Judges 16:19–20). Nehemiah also reminded Israel how even Solomon, the wisest king, was corrupted by strange women: “Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him… nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin” (Nehemiah 13:26). A wrong marriage can neutralise the strongest anointing and silence the greatest wisdom.Satan knows he may not confront your calling directly, so he works to infiltrate through your spouse. Once your partner is a wrong influence, battles multiply inside the home, draining the strength you should spend on destiny. Many have entered marriages that looked attractive but became cages—prayer died, vision faded, and consecration was lost. Marriage is a covenant, and covenants amplify whatever they carry. If it is right, it multiplies strength; if wrong, it multiplies sorrow. Don’t assume you are too strong to be affected—Samson and Solomon were greater, yet they fell through wrong marital ties.Practically, never ignore red flags in relationships. If a man or woman pulls you away from God, mocks consecration, or despises your call, that is not a partner—it is a snare. Don’t baptise bondage with emotions. If you are single, let God’s choice alone be your compass. If you are already married, refuse to surrender to despair. Align your union to God in prayer, break every foothold of the enemy, and fight for your home to become a platform of strength again. Marriage can either advance destiny or imprison it—the choice depends on whether you let God lead.THOUGHT TO PONDER: Am I discerning enough to see when marriage is a snare rather than a blessing? Am I allowing God to lead me, or am I letting my emotions tie me into bondage?

Prayer: Lord, preserve me from marital snares. Let my marriage be a channel of strength, never a cage of sorrow.

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

SUNDAY DECEMBER 28, 2025.

SUBJECT : THE WORD IN OUR RECREATION!

Memory verse: "Of His own Will He brought us forth by the Word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures." (James 1 vs 18.) 

: First Peter 1 vs 23 - 25: 

1:23: Having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the Word of God which lives and forever,

1:24: because “All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls away, 

1:25: but the Word of the Lord endures forever.” Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.

INTIMATION:

No one would ever have been redeemed by one’s own efforts. You could never have gotten in there by your own efforts. You had to be born of the Holy Spirit (John 3 vs 5). You have to be recreated through the energy of the Word; for He says, "Of His own Will have we been begotten through the Word." (James 1 vs 18 and First Peter 1 vs 23). It is not of man. It is not of the Will of the flesh, it is of the Will of our own heavenly Father. (John 1 vs 13.) It is through the Father's Word. It is by the energy of the Holy Spirit that Eternal Life has been given to us, and we have become New Creations. 

The new creation in Christ—the confession and believe in our Messiah, Jesus Christ—is based upon legal grounds. You have come into the Father's family because you responded to His call. You have received the Word—Jesus Christ, who was God, and with God in the beginning (John 1 vs 1 - 2). You have received Him, and believed in His name, and He has given you the legal right to become His child (John 1 vs 12).

What Jesus taught—His Word, and what He did—His works are tied inseparably to who He is. Although Jesus took upon Himself full humanity and lived as a man, He never ceased to be the eternal God who has always existed, the Creator and Sustainer of all things, and the source of eternal life. This is the truth about Jesus and the foundation of all truth. 

The Scripture in Psalm 33 vs 6 says that the Word is agent of creation, and the source of God’s message to His people through the prophets (Hosea 4 vs 1), and also God’s Law, His standard of holiness (Psalm 119 vs 11). This same Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1 vs 14). 

All who welcome Jesus—the Word—as Lord of their lives are reborn spiritually, receiving new life from God. Through faith in Him, this new birth changes us from the inside out—rearranging our attitudes, desires, and motives. Being born makes you physically alive and places you in your parents’ family. Being born of God makes you spiritually alive and puts you in God’s family (John 1 vs 12). 

The passage we read today was a quotation by the apostle Peter from the Book of Isaiah 40 vs 6 - 8. He reminded us that everything in this life—possessions, accomplishments, people—will eventually fade away and disappear. Only God’s Will, Word, and work are permanent. Therefore, we must stop grasping the temporary, and begin focusing our time, money, energy on the permanent: The Word of God and our eternal life in Christ. God’s Word is eternal and unfailing; it is constant, and only in God’s eternal Word will we find lasting solutions to our problems and needs.

Prayer: Abba Father, You are the same with Your Word. I am recreated by Your Word, and in Your Word lies all answers to my problems and needs. Endue me greatly with Your Word that I may live a victorious and all sufficient life, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

DESTINY DEMANDS A MARRIAGE OF AGREEMENT

Date: Sunday, December 28th, 2025 

Title: DESTINY DEMANDS A MARRIAGE OF AGREEMENT

Amos 3:3, Matthew 18:19

Marriage is not just about sharing a house—it is about sharing a destiny. Scripture asks, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3). Jesus also affirmed, “If two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 18:19). Agreement is the backbone of destiny fulfilment in marriage. Where there is agreement in the Spirit, strength multiplies. Where there is discord, destiny is delayed or derailed.Agreement in marriage is not about trivial things like favourite meals or hobbies; it is about alignment in purpose, values, and obedience to God. If a man is pursuing ministry but his wife despises it, frustration is inevitable. If a woman is consecrated but her husband resists the things of God, her fire will eventually be quenched. Agreement is spiritual, not sentimental. It is standing side by side, facing the same direction, and pulling in the same Spirit. The devil knows this power, which is why he works to plant seeds of disagreement in homes. Once agreement is lost, prayers are hindered, and destinies are crippled.Practically, don’t ignore spiritual agreement when making marital choices. Sisters, ask plainly: “Does this man’s spirit align with mine in pursuing God’s purpose?” Brothers, ask: “Will this woman walk with me in obedience or fight against the call of God on my life?” If the answer is no, then don’t proceed. For those already married, fight for agreement. Pray together until your spirits align. Refuse to allow bitterness, pride, or distractions to weaken your unity. Destiny demands agreement; without it, your marriage becomes a burden instead of a blessing.THOUGHT TO PONDER: Is my marriage or relationship marked by spiritual agreement or silent discord? Am I intentionally cultivating unity of purpose with my partner?

Prayer: Lord, give me a marriage of true agreement that multiplies strength and accelerates destiny.

SATURDAY DECEMBER 27, 2025.

SUBJECT : BE ETERNITY CONSCIOUS IN YOUR BRIEF LIFE ON EARTH!

Memory verse: "Whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away." (James 4 vs 14.)

READ: Psalm 39 vs 4 - 6:

39:4: Lord make me to know my end, and what is the measure of my days, that I may know how frail I am.

39:5: Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths, and my age is as nothing before You.

39:6: Surely they busy themselves in vain; he heaps up riches, and does not know who will gather them.

INTIMATION:

Life on earth is the period between birth and death. And because it has a beginning and an end, it is temporary, and not permanent. The brevity of life is a theme throughout the books of Psalms, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes. The Bible is full of metaphors that teach about the brief, temporary, transient nature of life on earth. The earth is not your permanent home or final destination. You're just passing through, just visiting earth. The Bible uses terms like alien, pilgrim, foreigner, stranger, visitor, and traveler to describe our temporary and brief stay on earth. 

Ironically, people spend so much time securing their lives on earth but take little or no thought about life after here; where they will spend eternity. They are busy with the things that are temporary, but neglecting the things that are permanent. Amassing riches and busily accomplishing worldly tasks that would make no meaning and difference in eternity. Few people understand that their only hope is in the Lord. The only thing that matters in eternity is your relationship with your Maker, and it is the relationship built with Him that you take to eternity. All other things you have acquired, built, accomplished and so on, are abandoned here on earth to the cares of others, and they will one day perish.

To make the best use of your life is to build a superb relationship and fellowship with the Lord which is the only thing that qualifies you for eternity with Him, and your mansion in His house. Realizing that life is short helps us use the little time we have more wisely for eternal good, and don't get too attached to this world. May God help you see life on earth as He sees it. 

In First Peter 2 vs 11, the apostle Peter stated, "Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul." As believers, we are "sojourners and pilgrims" in this world, because our real home is with God. Our true loyalty should be to our citizenship in heaven, not to our temporary stay here, "For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ." (Philippians 3 vs 20.) How prepared are you to receive Him at His coming?

Real believers understand that there is far more to life than just the few years to live on this planet, and their homeland is heaven. When you grasp this truth, you will stop worrying about "having it all" on earth. God is very blunt about the danger of living for the here and now and adopting the values, priorities, and lifestyles of the world around us. When we flirt with the temptations of this world, God calls it spiritual adultery: "Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God." (James 4 vs 4.)

We are in the world and constantly in association with the world, its standards, and circumstances. Though we are in the world, but we are not of this world (John 15 vs 19). The prince of this world is the greatest enemy of God, and by extension, our greatest enemy. "We are ambassadors of Christ" (Second Corinthians 5 vs 20). As an ambassador you will not be able to isolate yourself from the rulership of the prince of this world where you have your ambassadorial assignment. To fulfill your mission, you would have to have contact with the world.

God warns us not to get too attached to what's around us because it's temporary, "For the form of this world is passing away" (First Corinthians 7 vs 31). The cares of this world; financial security, self actualization, worldly happiness, marriage, and so on, are not the ultimate goal of life. As much as possible, we should live unhindered by the cares of this world, not getting involved in burdensome life activities that might keep you from doing God's work.

Compared with other centuries, life has never been easier for much of our world today. The advancement in technology has made life much more easier and enjoyable. We are constantly entertained, amused, and catered for. With all the fascinating attractions, mesmerizing media, and enjoyable experiences available today, it's easy to forget that the pursuit of happiness is not what life is about. Only as we remember that life is a test, a trust, and a temporary assignment will the appeal of these things lose their grip on our lives. 

Life is short no matter how long we live. Be conscious of the two divides in eternity—heaven and hell. Take time to number your days by asking, “Where do I want to be in eternity?” “What do I want to see happen in my life before I die? What small step could I take toward that purpose today?” If you want to be with the Lord, deal with an undisciplined area in your life, and tell someone about Jesus. Because life is short, don’t neglect what is truly important.

Prayer: Abba Father, give me the grace to be eternity conscious, and not be consumed in seeking after the cares of the world that are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed. Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

MARRIAGE MUST MULTIPLY YOUR STRENGTH, NOT DRAIN IT

 

Date: Saturday, December 27th, 2025 

Title: MARRIAGE MUST MULTIPLY YOUR STRENGTH, NOT DRAIN IT

Proverbs 31:3, Deuteronomy 32:30

Scripture warns, “Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings” (Proverbs 31:3). Marriage is either a multiplier or a destroyer of strength. God designed it so that one shall chase a thousand, and two shall put ten thousand to flight (Deuteronomy 32:30). But when you marry outside His will, the reverse happens: one who could chase a thousand becomes unable to chase even one. The wrong partner drains energy, focus, and zeal, while the right one multiplies them. That is why you must see marriage as a strength equation, not just a romantic arrangement.Adam was distracted by Eve’s compromise and fell. Samson lost his consecration because of Delilah. Solomon, despite his wisdom, was weakened by strange women until his kingdom crumbled. On the other hand, Aquila and Priscilla multiplied their strength together, becoming effective co-labourers in the Gospel. The difference was not personality but alignment with God’s purpose. Satan knows if he cannot stop you directly, he can sap your strength through your spouse. A drained man cannot lead, and a drained woman cannot help. Marriage must therefore be chosen carefully, with destiny and strength in view.Practically, singles must ask: “Will this person multiply or drain my strength in God?” Don’t let beauty, wealth, or pressure blind you to the truth. Sisters, don’t accept a man who pulls you away from prayer and consecration. Brothers, don’t marry a woman whose appetite is for vanity rather than destiny. If you are already married, deliberately realign your home. Pray together, fight distractions together, and ensure your union channels strength into your calling. A marriage that drains is a trap, but a marriage that multiplies strength is a fortress for destiny.THOUGHT TO PONDER: Is my relationship multiplying my strength in God or draining it? Am I choosing a partner who adds spiritual weight or one who subtracts from destiny?

Prayer: Lord, give me a marriage that multiplies strength. Deliver me from every union designed to drain my calling and zeal

Every day in the God's Word

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

FRIDAY DECEMBER 26, 2025.

SUBJECT : REJOICE ALWAYS IN THE LORD!

Memory verse: "Rejoice always.” (First Thessalonians 5 vs 16.) 

READ: Philippians 3 vs 1; 4 vs 4:

3:1: Finally, My brethren, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe.

4:4: Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say rejoice.

INTIMATION:

To rejoice is to delight, be joyful, be happy, or make happy. To rejoice in the Lord is to be joyful, happy, delighted, or gladdened in the Lord for who He is, and what He does, is doing, and can do. Rejoicing is pleasing to God hence His demand on people to be joyful. God encourages joy. God doesn’t intend for religion to be only meditation and introspection. He also wants us to celebrate. 

Serious reflection and immediate confession of sin is essential of course, but this should be balanced by celebrating who God is and what He has done, is doing, and can do for His people. Therefore, worship involves both celebration and confession. In believers’ meetings, there are times for meditations and times of celebration—rejoicing in the Lord and demonstration of His goodness. 

One of the feasts that God gave to Moses for the children of Israel is the feast of Tabernacles, also called the feast of ingathering (Leviticus 23 vs 33 - 44). It was a special celebration involving the whole family that lasts for seven whole days. The feast taught family members of all ages about God’s nature and what He had done for them, and was a time for renewed commitment to God. 

In our societies in the world today, families need rituals of celebration to renew their faith and to pass it on to their children. Among Christians are Christmas and Easter. Also, Churches and Fellowships have other special days to commemorate God’s goodness and nature. 

But the apostle Paul tells us that rejoicing in the Lord should be a constant practice for us. It was so important to him that he emphasized the word ‘rejoice’ twice in a verse of just nine words (Philippians 4 vs 4.) In his letter, from the prison in Rome to the church in Philippi, he emphasized the need of rejoicing in the Lord always. 

Although, it seems strange that a man in prison would be telling a church to rejoice. But his attitude teaches us an important lesson: As believers in Christ, and trusting in God, our inner attitudes do not have to reflect our outward circumstances. The apostle Paul was full of joy because he knew that no matter what happened to him, Jesus Christ was with him.

It is in our nature to get easily discouraged about unpleasant circumstances. It’s also easy for us to take unimportant events too seriously. There are times when the last thing we want to do is rejoice. Our mood is down, our situation is out of hand, and our sorrow or guilt is overwhelming. Yes, but this is as a result of our not looking at life from the right perspective: Our focus is on the circumstance we face, instead of on Him who controls all circumstances. 

We can relate to the writers of the psalms in the Bible who often felt the way stated above. But no matter how low the writers felt, they were always honest with God. And as they talked to God, their prayers ended in praise. When you don’t feel like rejoicing, tell God how you truly feel, be attentive, and you will find out that God will give you a reason to rejoice; Even at that same time, God has given you that day, that hour to live and to serve Him, be glad!!

You may not have been joyful because you have a wrong perspective of life. For instance, in the event of someone abusing you, calling you names indicative of the person’s regard of you as useless. Such circumstance is mostly unpleasant and discouraging. But such should not be taken serious, and not worry you, knowing that the ultimate assessment that matters is God’s assessment, not fellow human’s assessment. “Let God be true and every man a liar” (Romans 3 vs 4.)

Several occasions necessitate our rejoicing in the Lord always. They include: (1) His Incarnation—the union of God and man in the person of Jesus Christ, (2) God’s power available to us, (3) His presence with the Father interceding for us, (4) His presence with us, (5) His ultimate triumph, (6) Hearing the gospel, (7) Our salvation, (8) Receiving the Lord, (9) Our enrollment in heaven, (10) Our liberty in Christ, (11) Our hope in Christ, (12) Our prospect of reward, and (13) The obedience and godly conduct of fellow believers. 

The apostle Paul, gives us three very important commands—be joyful, never stop praying, and be thankful (First Thessalonians 5 vs 16 - 18). Our joy, prayers, and thankfulness should be continuous, and not fluctuating with our circumstances or feelings. However, obeying these commands often go against our natural inclinations. But when we make a conscious decision to do what God says, we will begin to see life in the right perspective, that is as God sees it. And when we do God’s Will, we will find it easier to be joyful and thankful.

Prayer: Abba Father, give me the grace to rejoice in You always; having the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that I may be called a tree of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that You may be glorified, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

MARRIAGE WITHOUT DESTINY IS VANITY

Date: Friday, December 26th, 2025 

Title: MARRIAGE WITHOUT DESTINY IS VANITY

Ecclesiastes 4:9, Genesis 2:18

Marriage in itself is not fulfilment—it is meant to be a vehicle for destiny. The Bible says, “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour” (Ecclesiastes 4:9). God did not create Eve for Adam just to cure loneliness, but to help him accomplish the divine assignment: “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him” (Genesis 2:18). Marriage is not just for children, sex, or companionship; it is for destiny fulfilment. When a marriage is not tied to destiny, it quickly becomes vanity and eventually frustration.Many couples enter marriage chasing comfort and end up asking, “Is this all there is?” They soon discover that physical things alone cannot sustain excitement in marriage. True fulfilment comes when the union is yoked to a higher purpose in God. That is why the devil tries hard to push believers into marriages without destiny. Once you are tied to the wrong partner, you waste years managing fleshly issues instead of advancing divine purpose. A destiny marriage, on the other hand, keeps you sharp, focused, and productive in God’s programme. It multiplies your impact and preserves your generational assignment.Practically, singles must ask: “What has God called me to do, and who will help me accomplish it?” Don’t enter marriage just to silence pressure from family or society. Don’t accept pity proposals or emotional manipulations—these are traps of vanity. If you are married already, lift your home into destiny alignment. Decide together that your marriage will be a platform for advancing God’s kingdom, not just a playground for personal desires. When marriage is destiny-driven, it never loses flavour; it only increases in relevance and fulfilment.THOUGHT TO PONDER: Do I see marriage as a platform for destiny fulfilment or just as a fulfilment of personal desires? Is my union tied to purpose or drifting into vanity?

Prayer: Lord, let my marriage serve Your eternal purpose. Deliver me from vanity and align me with destiny in my home.

Everyday in the God's Word

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

THURSDAY DECEMBER 25, 2025.

SUBJECT : THE SIGNIFICANCE OF CHRISTMAS!

Memory verse: "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord." (Luke 2 vs 11.)

READ: Isaiah 9 vs 6 - 7:

9:6: For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

9:7: Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David, and over His kingdom, to order it and to establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

INTIMATION:

Christmas is an annual festival in celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, whom Christians believe is the Son of God, and holds on 25th December—Christmas Day. The name Christmas comes from the Mass of Christ. A Mass service (which is sometimes called Communion or Eucharist) is where Christians remember that Jesus died for them and then came back to life. It’s also the season when Christians celebrate the coming of the King who’s to liberate the world from sin and evil. It is a time of God’s show of His great love for Christians—followers of Jesus (John 3 vs 16), by sending His Son, Jesus, into the world to be born, and to die for the sins of the whole world.

The fall of man in the book of Genesis is the foundation of Christmas. The fall of man into sin at the Garden of Eden necessitated the need for a Savior to be born to deliver the world from sin. The bad news of Adam’s sin was punishable by death (Genesis 2 vs 17). Jesus would fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah, for He would be Immanuel (“God with us,” see Isaiah 7 vs 14). Jesus was God in the flesh; thus, God was literally among us, “with us.” Through the Holy Spirit, Christ is present today in the life of every believer. In Jesus, the infinite, unlimited God took on the limitations of humanity so He could live and die for the salvation of all who would believe in Him. His story is one of truth, love, and hope—it brought salvation to all of those who believe. 

Through the sins of Adam and Eve, we have all inherited that sin nature. We need to have that removed. The only way is through Jesus. Jesus came so He could die on the cross for all of our sins. If we believe that Jesus died for our sins, we can ask Him to come into our lives, and forgive us. Then, we are clean and made whole. Jesus came to the world to restore the dignity of man that was lost to Satan through Adam’s treason at the Garden of Eden. God sent His only Son to die for us so that we could be spared from the eternal death we deserve, but instead receive eternal life (John 3 vs 16.) Because Jesus lived as a man, He fully understands our experiences and struggles (Hebrews 4 vs 15 - 16). Because He is God, He has the power and authority to deliver us from sin (Colossians 2 vs 13 - 15).

Christ’s work is to defeat all evil on earth. First, He defeated sin and death, and in the end He will defeat Satan and all evil. World events may seem out of control, and justice may seem to have vanished, but God is in control, allowing evil to remain for a time until He sends Jesus to earth again. Then Christ will present to God a perfect world,

Jesus means “the Lord saves.” Jesus came to earth to save us because we can’t save ourselves from sin and its consequences. No matter how good we are, we can’t eliminate the sinful nature present in all of us. Only Jesus can do that. Jesus didn’t come to help people save themselves; He came to be their Savior from the power and penalty of sin. 

Jesus came to give us peace. Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14 vs 27.) With the Spirit of Jesus—the Holy Spirit—at work in our lives, we have deep and lasting peace. Unlike worldly peace, which is usually defined as the absence of conflict, this peace is confident assurance in any circumstance; with Jesus’ peace we have no need to fear the present or future. Sin, fear, uncertainty, doubt, and numerous other forces are at war within us. The peace of God moves into our hearts and lives to restrain these hostile forces and offer comfort in place of conflict.

Jesus came to give us life. He said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10 vs 10.) in contrast to the thief who takes life, Jesus gives life. The life He gives right now is abundantly rich and full. It is eternal, yet it begins immediately. Life in Christ is lived on a higher plane because of His overflowing forgiveness, love, and guidance.

You can never truly enjoy Christmas until you can look into God’s Face and tell Him you have received His Christmas gift. You should ask yourself: “He came to be my Lord and Savior, to save me from sins and reign as King in my heart; have I fulfilled the significance of His birth by responding to the significance of His death and resurrection? (See Acts 2 vs 36 - 38). If you forget about Jesus in this Christmas season, you’ve missed the entire and glorious point of the celebration. Jesus Christ is the reason for the season.

Prayer: Abba Father, thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord Jesus, I surrender myself totally to You, and confess You as my personal Lord and Savior, forgive me my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness, that I may live for You henceforth, in Jesus’ Name I prayed. Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

DESTINY MARRIAGE DEMANDS DIVINE ACCURACY

Date: Thursday, December 25th, 2025 

Title: DESTINY MARRIAGE DEMANDS DIVINE ACCURACY

1 Corinthians 6:17, Deuteronomy 32:30

Marriage is not just two bodies coming together—it is a fusion of spirits. The Bible declares, “He that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit” (1 Corinthians 6:17). When you marry outside God’s will, you tie your spirit to a person who can either dilute or destroy your destiny. On the other hand, when you marry in God’s will, one shall chase a thousand and two shall put ten thousand to flight (Deuteronomy 32:30). Marriage amplifies destiny, whether for good or for evil. That is why divine accuracy is non-negotiable. You cannot afford to gamble here—this is about eternal assignments, not romantic feelings.Destiny marriages don’t happen by chance; they are products of submission to divine leading. Satan knows the power of agreement, so he works hard to push believers into unions that neutralise them. If you marry someone who does not carry the same spiritual burden, your energy will be spent dragging them along instead of pursuing your call. A man who has no vision cannot lead you, and a woman who has no consecration cannot help you. Don’t reduce marriage to emotions, appearance, or convenience. Accuracy in marriage is as important as accuracy in ministry, because your partner becomes part of your covenant journey.Practically, train your spirit for accuracy now. Don’t let impatience or pressure push you into Ishmael while Isaac is on the way. Refuse to baptise lust as “compatibility” or call human arrangement God’s will. Ask hard questions: “Does this person strengthen my walk with God? Do we carry the same spirit for destiny?” If the answer is no, then heaven’s answer is no. If you are already married, align your home to God’s standard and fight for accuracy in destiny together. Marriage is not for experiments; it is a covenant of accuracy for destiny fulfilment.THOUGHT TO PONDER: Am I demanding divine accuracy in the matter of marriage? Or am I letting emotions and pressure decide what only God should decide?

Prayer: Lord, align me with the covenant partner You have chosen. Deliver me from every error and keep me accurate in destiny.

Every day in the God's Word

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 24, 2025.

SUBJECT: CRAVE FOR THE HIDDEN MANNA!

Memory verse: "He who has an ear, Let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden Manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” (Revelation 2 vs 17.)

READ: Exodus 16 vs 13 - 16 & 31:

16:13: So it was that quails came up at evening and covered the camp, and in the morning the dew lay all around the camp.

16:14: And when the layer of dew lifted, there, on the surface of the wilderness, was a small round substance, as fine as frost on the ground.

16:15: So when the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, “This is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat.

16:16: This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: ‘Let every man gather it according to each one’s need, one Omer for each person, according to the number of persons; Let every man take for those who are in his tent.

16:31: And the house of Israel called its name Manna. And it was like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.

INTIMATION:

“Hidden manna” suggests the spiritual nourishment that the faithful believers in Christ will receive. Christ is our daily bread who satisfies our eternal, and spiritual needs. In John 6 vs 48 - 51, Jesus compares Himself to manna: “I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”

Jesus is the Living Bread (the hidden manna), which provides spiritual nourishment that satisfies our deepest hunger. To eat living bread means to accept Christ into our lives and become united with Him. We are united with Christ in two ways; (1) by believing in His death (the sacrifice of His flesh) and resurrection and (2) by devoting ourselves to living as He requires, depending on His teaching for guidance and trusting in the Holy Spirit for power.

The bread from heaven (the manna) was a special meal from God to His people that sustained them for forty years in the wilderness. As the Israelites travailed in the wilderness for forty years, traveling toward the Promise Land, God provided the bread from heaven (manna) for their physical nourishment. In ancient Hebrew, manna means "what is it?" And this was the question the famished Israelites asked each other when the manna first appeared? No one was sure. But because everyone was asking the same question, the strange milky white ground cover was called manna (What is it). 

Every morning, the desert floor east of the volcano and Red Sea was white with this mysterious substance. Like snow it lay evenly on the ground. Like frost it began to crystallize and evaporate in the midday sun. The wandering Israelites harvested the manna each day of their 40-years trek in the wilderness of Sanai. On the day it first appeared, their leader Moses declared this unusual seedless crop "bread from heaven." Most of the people were so hungry they spent less time questioning the dietary value of the manna than they did collecting it. It tasted sweet like honey. It resembled coriander seed with a waferlike consistency. 

The manna was nutritious enough. Men and women and children survived on this bread substitute. But the "bread from heaven" was an awesome creation of God, a customized never-before-heard-of food just for His chosen people, the Israelites. The manna kept a whole nomadic nation of Israel alive when their survival seemed in jeopardy. It even fueled the amazing growth of the nation of Israel so that they could supplant the people living on the edges of the desert—the Edomites, the Midianities, and eventually the Canaanites. 

The same perplexing nature and nutritional value associated with manna in sustaining the life of the nomadic Israelites, is inherent in our believe in Christ. Jesus is the bread of life that was sent from the Father in order to nourish the spiritual poverty of humanity. Our believe in Him is the ‘hidden manna’ which satisfies our deep spiritual and eternal needs. In the hidden manna do all our need to live for God consist. Therefore, crave to have it.

Prayer: Abba Father, I crave for the hidden manna. Satisfy my thirst and let my eyes of understanding be enlightened that I may know what is the hope of Your calling, and what the riches of the glory of Christ’s inheritance in those who believe. Give me the grace to live for You forever, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

COURTSHIP IS NOT A TIME TO EXPERIMENT WITH SIN

Date: Wednesday, December 24th, 2025 

Title: COURTSHIP IS NOT A TIME TO EXPERIMENT WITH SIN

1 Thessalonians 5:22, Genesis 34:1–2

The period of courtship is not for testing sin but for proving character. Scripture commands, “Abstain from all appearance of evil” (1 Thessalonians 5:22). Joseph understood this when Potiphar’s wife grabbed him; he fled rather than explain. Contrast that with Dinah, Jacob’s daughter, who mingled with the daughters of the land and was defiled by Shechem (Genesis 34:1–2). The difference is clear: one fled and preserved destiny, the other wandered and lost purity. Courtship is not permission to experiment with immorality under the guise of engagement; it is a time to guard destiny and keep the standards of God intact.Many today have confused love with lust. A man who demands sex in courtship to “prove love” is not led by God but by his flesh. A lady who strips herself before marriage is not preparing for destiny but for destruction. Wrong choices here can wound souls deeply and leave scars that counselling may never erase. God’s standard has not changed: holiness before marriage, faithfulness in marriage. You cannot lower the bar and expect a destiny marriage. Grace empowers you to flee temptation, not flirt with it. To ignore this is to fail heaven’s test before you even begin the journey.Practically, avoid environments that expose you to temptation. Don’t go to places where your purity can be compromised, and don’t assume you are too strong to fall. Even God tests men before entrusting them with serious things; you must demand the same standard. If you are in a courtship, keep it pure and Spirit-led. If you are single, prepare yourself in consecration so that when the time comes, you will not be carried away by lust disguised as love. Destiny marriage is not for careless people—it is for those who treat purity as sacred.THOUGHT TO PONDER: Am I guarding purity in courtship as a covenant responsibility? Or am I excusing sin as “love” while jeopardising destiny?

Prayer: Lord, help me to keep my body and spirit pure. Deliver me from every appearance of evil in relationships.

SUBJECT : OPEN UP YOURSELF!

Memory verse: "For thus says the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones." (Isaiah 57 vs 15.)

READ: Romans 7 vs 14 - 20:

7:14: For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.

7:15: For that what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will do, that do I not practice; but what I hate, that do I.

7:16: If, then, I do what I will not do, I agree with the law that it is good.

7:17: But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

7:18: For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me; but how to perform what which is good I do not find.

7:19: For the good that I will do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.

7:20: Now if I do what I will not do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

INTIMATION: 

The starting point of ministry is being moldable. The more you open up yourself to God, the more He comes in to mold and use you. The more you let down your guard, take off your mask, and share your struggles, the more God will be able to use you in serving others. It is notable that opening yourself can be risky. It can be scary to lower your defenses and open up your life to others. When you reveal your failures, feelings, frustrations, and fears, you risk rejection. But the benefits are worth the risk. Opening up yourself is emotionally liberating; it relieves stress, defuses your fears, and is the first step to freedom.

We have already seen that God "gives grace to the humble," but many do not understand humility. Humility is not putting yourself down or denying your strengths; rather, it is being honest about your weaknesses. The more honest you are, the more of God's grace you get. You will also receive from others. Being moldable or meek, that is opening up yourself, is an endearing quality; we are naturally drawn to humble people. 

Pretentiousness repels, but authenticity attracts, and meekness is the pathway to intimacy. Your life becomes a testimonial when people see God using you in spite of your weaknesses, and they are encouraged, and they will then think that God can use them too. This is why God wants to use your weaknesses, not just your strengths. Our strengths create competition, but our weaknesses create community.

At some point in your life you must decide whether you want to impress people or influence people. You can impress people from a distance, but you must get close to influence them, and when you do that, they will be able to see your flaws. That's okay. The most essential quality for leadership is not perfection, but credibility. People must be able to trust you, or they won't follow you. How do you build credibility? Not by pretending to be perfect, but by being honest, and open.

Our Scriptural model, the apostle Paul, openly and honestly shared his impressions at various times. In his failures he said, "For the good that I will to do, I do not; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice." (Romans 7 vs 19.) Concerning the openness of his heart, and his feelings, he said to believers in Corinth, "O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open." (Second Corinthians 6 vs 11.) On his frustrations, he said, "For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life." (Second Corinthians 1 vs 8.) On his fears, he said, "I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling." (First Corinthians 2 vs 3.)

In the passage we read today, the cry of the apostle Paul is more than the cry of a desperate man, it describes the experience of all Christians struggling against sin or trying to please God by keeping rules and laws without the Spirit’s help. He opened up himself, emphasized his weakness, and sought help. We must never underestimate the power of sin and attempt to fight it in our own strength. Satan is a crafty tempter, and we have an amazing ability to make excuses. Instead of trying to overcome sin with our own human willpower, we must take hold of God’s provision for victory over sin—the Holy Spirit, who lives within us and gives us power. And when we fall, He lovingly reaches out to help us up.

The inward struggle with sin was as real for the apostle Paul as it is for us. From him we learn what to do about it. Whenever he felt overwhelmed by the spiritual battle, he would return to the beginning of his spiritual life, remembering how he had been freed from sin by Jesus Christ. When we feel confused and overwhelmed by sin’s appeal, let us claim the freedom Christ gave us. His power can lift us to victory. 

Self-determination (struggling in one’s own strength) doesn’t succeed (Romans 7 vs 15). The apostle Paul found himself sinning in ways that weren’t even attractive to him. Becoming a Christian does not stamp out all sin and temptation from a person’s life (Romans 7 vs 22 - 25). Being born again takes a moment of faith, but becoming like Christ is a lifelong process. 

Prayer: Abba Father, all to Jesus I surrender, all to Him I freely give. I will ever love and trust Him, and in His presence I will daily live, and humbly at His feet I bow. Give me the grace not to put any form of trust in myself, but to follow You to the end, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

DON’T CONFUSE GRACE WITH PERMISSION TO ERR

Date: Tuesday, December 23rd, 2025 

Title: DON’T CONFUSE GRACE WITH PERMISSION TO ERR

Romans 6:1–2, Ezra 9:2

One of the dangerous lies creeping into the church today is the idea that grace is a subsidy for error. Some believers think God’s grace allows them to marry anyone they like, even when that choice clearly violates His word. But Paul asked pointedly, “Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid” (Romans 6:1–2). Grace is not a cover for recklessness—it is the empowerment to live above compromise. Ezra rebuked Israel because they mingled the holy seed with strange nations, saying, “The holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands” (Ezra 9:2). That same error is alive today: believers lowering God’s standard in marriage and expecting grace to cover the fallout.Beloved, marriage is not where you experiment with the mercy of God. If God gave priests strict instructions on whom to marry under the Old Testament, how much more under grace, where we carry His Spirit within us? Grace is not license; it is responsibility. Grace demands you wait on God for His choice and refuse every counterfeit that appeals to the flesh. The devil will always present “good-looking alternatives” to destiny, but grace gives you strength to say no. If you truly value your calling, you cannot afford to lower the standard. Marrying outside God’s will may look harmless at first, but it is a seed of sorrow that grows into regret.In practice, don’t let emotions, pressure, or pity deceive you. Refuse to baptise lust as “compatibility.” Don’t think a good man without the Spirit, or a nice woman without consecration, is God’s choice for you. Grace empowers you to stand alone until God’s plan appears. It strengthens you to flee every appearance of evil and wait for heaven’s release. If you are married already, grace can realign your home—yield to the Spirit and He will raise the standard again in your union. Always remember: grace is divine energy to keep God’s standard, never to lower it.THOUGHT TO PONDER: Am I treating grace as divine strength to uphold God’s standard, or as an excuse to lower it? Have I allowed emotions to baptise what God has clearly rejected?

Prayer: Lord, let Your grace strengthen me to uphold Your standard in marriage. Deliver me from every deception that lowers the bar of destiny.

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

MONDAY DECEMBER 22, 2025.

SUBJECT : THE SHEPHERD OF THE RIGHTEOUS!

Memory verse: "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 27 vs 1.)

READ: Psalm 23 vs 1 - 6:

23:1: The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 

23:2: He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 

23:3: He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name sake. 

23:4: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 

23:5: You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. 

23:6: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

INTIMATION:

The Lord is the shepherd of the righteous. The Scriptures in the 'New Testament' calls Jesus the good shepherd (John 10 vs 11); the great shepherd (Hebrews 13 vs 20); and the chief shepherd (First Peter 5 vs 4). When one submits to the shepherding of God, he trusts that God will provide all that is necessary for survival. Because of the Lord’s care over us, we are satisfied with the spiritual food that comes from Him, and thus we take our rest in the shadow of His care. The righteous know their God, and He leads them according to His Will to places of security. 

Jesus is the good Shepherd, who tends to us—His sheep—out of love, and is committed to us, even to the extent of laying His life for us. As the Lord is a good shepherd, so we are His sheep; not frightened and passive, but obedient followers, wise enough to follow one who will lead us in the right places and right ways. As calm waters naturally soothe one’s mind in times of trouble, so God takes us to places where the turmoil of life can be endured. And the calm waters our inner man is renewed and refreshed. 

The Lord leads us down paths that take us to that which is good for us. The two significant results of the death and resurrection of our Messiah, Jesus Christ, our great Shepherd, is found in His work in us to make us the kind of people that would please Him, and He equips us to do the kind of work that would please Him. Consequently, 'He restores our souls, and leads us in the paths of righteousness for His name sake: "Righteousness will go before Him, and shall make His footsteps our pathway." (Psalm 85 vs 13.) He does this in order that His name be glorified among the nations. He is holy, and therefore, desires that His people be holy. 

We can trust that God will always meet the needs of the righteous. Whatever they need on earth He will supply, even if it is the courage to face death. Whatever they need in heaven He will supply. The psalm we read today is probably the most quoted of all the psalms simply because in a few words it portrays the life of the righteous. Though the righteous must live in a world that is plagued with suffering and turmoil, they must put their faith in God as they struggle through life. The psalm is a sublime utterance of those who are focused on staying close to God.

God has complete ability to meet our needs. Just as the sheep is dependent on the shepherd to meet its needs, so are we to our Father in heaven. He is our Shepherd and we are His sheep (flock). The sheep are completely dependent on the shepherd for provision, guidance, and protection. 

We must remember, however, the difference between our wants and our needs. Most people want to feel good and avoid discomfort or pain. We may not get all that we want. By trusting in Christ, our attitudes and appetites can change from wanting everything to accepting His provision and power to live for Him.

When we allow God our shepherd to guide us, we have contentment. He knows the "green pastures" and "still waters" that will restore us. We will reach these places only by following Him obediently. Rebelling against the shepherd's leading is actually rebelling against our own best interests. God works in us to make us the kind of people that would please Him, and if you are obedient, you will eat the fruit of the land: "For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe every tear from their eyes" (Revelation 7 vs 17).

Even in death, He is with us. Death casts a frightening shadow over us because we are entirely helpless in its presence. We can struggle with other enemies; pain, suffering, disease, injury, but strength and courage cannot overcome death. It has the final word. Only God—the God of life—our shepherd, can walk us through death's dark valley and bring us safely to the other side, and ensures our eternal comfort amidst life's uncertainties. God offers protection even when enemies surround us, and believers will dwell with God. 

The perfect shepherd and host, promises to guide and protect us through life to bring us into His house forever. The psalmist says, "One thing I have desired of the LORD, that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in His temple. For in time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; in the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon the rock. And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me..." (Psalm 27 vs 4 - 6.)

Prayer: Abba Father, in You I live, and move, and have my being. You are my strong tower, I run into You and am saved. Give me the grace to hear Your voice, know Your ways, and follow You all the days of my life, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed. Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

MARRIAGE IS A PROGRESSION OF DESTINY, NOT A DETOUR

Date: Monday, December 22nd, 2025 

Title: MARRIAGE IS A PROGRESSION OF DESTINY, NOT A DETOUR

Genesis 2:18, Ecclesiastes 4:9

Marriage was never designed to derail or distract you—it was instituted by God to advance destiny. “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him” (Genesis 2:18). Marriage is a continuation of God’s programme, not a side project. It is not a “special season” that suspends destiny; rather, it is the next stage in its unfolding. Ecclesiastes 4:9 confirms this: “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.” When marriage is in God’s will, both partners accomplish in a short time what one would have struggled to do alone.The tragedy today is that many treat marriage as an end in itself. Some sisters think once they marry, everything is complete; and some brothers think a wife is merely an accessory to their success. No! Marriage is not a trophy—it is a tool. A wrong marriage reduces speed, weakens the spirit, and clouds vision. That is why the devil fights hardest at this junction: he knows that once you marry wrong, your destiny is compromised. But when you marry right, marriage becomes a launchpad for destiny. It sharpens your focus, multiplies your strength, and gives you a companion in the battles of life. Don’t see marriage as a holiday from consecration; see it as a higher classroom in destiny.Practically, before saying “yes” or giving a proposal, ask yourself: Does this person help me see clearer? Do they multiply my pursuit of God or diminish it? If the answer is negative, don’t let pity, age, or pressure deceive you. Marriage is not rescue from loneliness; it is responsibility for destiny. If you are already married, align your home to God’s purpose. Pray together, plan together, and pursue destiny together. When marriage is properly aligned, it is not a detour but a divine progression that brings you into the fullness of God’s plan.THOUGHT TO PONDER: Do I see marriage as a progression of destiny or as a detour into personal comfort? Is my union helping me accomplish more for God than I could alone?

Prayer: Lord, let my marriage be a continuation of Your programme for my life. Deliver me from every detour that derails destiny.

Every day in the God's Word

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

SUNDAY DECEMBER 21, 2025.

SUBJECT: THE BANE OF IMPURE MOTIVES!

Memory verse: "But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments.” (Matthew 23 vs 5.)

READ: Matthew 6 vs 1 - 6, 17 - 18: 

6:1: “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven.

6:2: Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 

6:3: But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 

6:4: that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly. 

6:5: And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

6:6: But you when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

6:17: But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

6:18: so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

INTIMATION:

Motive is something—incentive, purpose, intention—that causes a person to act. Therefore, a pure motive is devoid of any form of selfishness. When we pray, when we fast, and when we give, the Bible says that we must be pure in our motives. If you do any of these things being self-centered other than being God-centered, then your motive is impure. God abhors anything that we do that takes Him out of the first place in our lives. 

For instance, when you do something for the sake of being seen by others, your motive is impure, and Jesus said that being seen by others is our only reward. If, however, we do what we do in obedience to God—putting God and His desires first—then our motive is pure, devoid of any selfishness, and God will reward us. Obedience to God is key to receiving from Him: “If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity and their years in pleasures” (Job 36 vs 11).

Therefore, believers should avoid doing their deeds of righteousness in order to receive recognition of men. If they do, then they have received their rewards. Believers let their light shine, but not for the purpose of drawing attention to themselves. Believers should give in a manner by which they do not intentionally seek the praise of men. Their giving should be as private as possible in order that one’s motives for giving be kept pure. The hypocrites do good, but their hearts are far from God. 

It’s easier to do what’s right when we gain recognition and praise. To be sure our motives are not selfish, we should do our good deeds quietly or in secret, with no thought of reward. Jesus says we should check our motives in three areas: generosity, prayer, and fasting. These acts should not be self-centered but God-centered, done not to make us look good but to make God look good. 

Impure motive Jesus calls ‘hypocrisy.’ The term hypocrisy, as used in the Scriptures, describe the acts of people doing good for appearances only—not out of compassion or other good motives. Their actions may be good, but their motives are questionable—empty and self-serving. These empty and self-serving acts, wanting to boost their ego, are their rewards. But God will reward those who are sincere in their faith, obeying and serving Him sincerely.

Our relationship with God is personal, hence Jesus requiring us to be private in our dealings. When He says not to let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, He is teaching us actions in pure motives. It is easy to give with mixed motives, like doing something for someone if it will benefit us in return, or doing things for selfish ambitions, like public recognition and applaud. Jesus teaches that believers should avoid all forms of scheming, but rather our actions must be in response to God’s love, and obedience to Him.

Some people really don’t care about holiness, as demanded by God, but likes looking holy, or be seen as holy in order to receive people’s admiration and praise. Such people like public prayers where they speak on top of their voices and gyrate as if under the power of the Holy Spirit, just for public recognition. The essence of prayer is not public style, but private communication with God. There is a place for public prayer (corporate prayer), but to pray only where others will notice you indicates that your real audience is not God, but rather self-recognition, which is an impure motive.

Some may conclude that Jesus’ directions about private prayer calls into question all public prayers. That is an obvious misunderstanding of His teaching. The Gospels recorded Jesus praying both privately (Matthew 14 vs 23) and publicly (Matthew 14 vs 18 - 19). Jesus did not condemn public prayer, but praying in order to be seen of men He condemned. 

Jesus was only drawing attention to the motives behind actions. The point really wasn’t a choice between public and private prayer, but between heartfelt and hypocritical prayer. When asked to pray in public, focus on addressing God, not on how you are coming across to others. Believers should pray often in a quiet environment in order to express their innermost feelings to the Father. 

Fasting should not be in order to draw attention to one’s performance of religious rites. Fasting is to be directed toward the inner self in order to focus one’s mind on God. By concentrating on the inner spiritual part of man, believers should give no outward indication of their fasting. The purpose of fasting is to inwardly humble oneself before God in order to proclaim one’s dependence on the work of God in his or her life. In humbling ourselves before God, we manifest our dependence on God in order to plead for His work in our lives.

Prayer: Abba Father, give me the grace to be pure in my motives in all I do, especially in my prayers, that I may please You in my supplication, and eschew compromises of any form in my life, that I may not to be a friend to the world, and an enemy to You, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

YOUR DESIRES CANNOT SUBSTITUTE GOD’S WILL

Date: Sunday, December 21st, 2025 

Title: YOUR DESIRES CANNOT SUBSTITUTE GOD’S WILL

Matthew 26:39, Jeremiah 29:11

The greatest enemy of divine leading is personal desire. Jesus Himself had to bring His will under subjection when He prayed, “O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt” (Matthew 26:39). If the Son of God had to lay down His desires for the Father’s will, then you too must come to Gethsemane in your marital choices. God already has thoughts of peace for you, not of evil, to give you an expected end (Jeremiah 29:11). But you must surrender your emotions, preferences, and ambitions so that His higher wisdom can prevail.The mistake many believers make is to confuse desire with destiny. A man says, “I like her shape,” or a woman says, “He has money,” and they conclude God has spoken. Your desires are shaped by culture, upbringing, and flesh—they are unreliable compasses for destiny. If you follow them blindly, you will walk straight into satanic traps. Grace is not a licence to indulge your emotions; it is a divine empowerment to rise above them. Don’t assume that because you prayed with fasting, God will rubber-stamp your desire. If your will is not crucified, you will still mishear Him. A destiny marriage begins when you can genuinely say, “Lord, not my will, but Thine be done.”Practically, take every attraction to the cross. Refuse to baptise lust as “love.” Refuse to let family pressure push you into choices God has not approved. Train yourself to hear God in small things daily, so that when marriage is before you, His voice will be clear. If you ignore His leading and go ahead with your desire, you will not only frustrate yourself but endanger your children’s inheritance. But if you embrace His will, even when it cuts across your flesh, you will walk into joy, peace, and a marriage that powers your destiny.THOUGHT TO PONDER: Am I allowing my desires to compete with God’s will in the matter of marriage? Have I surrendered fully to the Lordship of Jesus in this area of my life?

Prayer: Lord, crucify my fleshly desires and align my heart with Your perfect will for marriage and destiny.

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

SATURDAY DECEMBER 20, 2025.

SUBJECT : THE FLESH AND BLOOD OF JESUS!

Memory verse: "He who eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, dwells in Me, and I in him.” (John 6 vs 56.) 

READ: John 6 vs 51 - 58:

6:51: I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

6:52: The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

6:53: Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

6:54: Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

6:55: For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

6:56: He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

6:57: As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

6:58: This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. 

INTIMATION: 

The Lord’s Supper (the eating and drinking of the flesh and blood of Jesus) was when Jesus celebrated with the apostles their deliverance from sin through the cross. He also wanted them and all that will believe in the new covenant to celebrate what would take place that would result in their forgiveness of sins. The blood of Jesus that cleansed us of sin, brings us into a covenant relationship with God. 

Jesus gave His incarnate body in order to be a sacrifice for the sins of those who would hear and learn from Him. As a result they would respond to the events of the good news of His death, burial and resurrection. Therefore, through the eating of the Supper (the flesh and blood of Jesus), Christians spiritually drink and eat of His blood and body because they abide in Him and He in them.

The life of the flesh is in the blood (Leviticus 17 vs 11). The two are essential elements in man’s physical being. Those who eat the flesh of Jesus, who is the Bread of Life, will never die spiritually. They will dwell in God’s presence without end. Jesus said the metaphorical statement that one must partake of Him as the Bread of Life in order to sustain his life throughout eternity. Jesus gives spiritual life that comes from His sacrificial death on the cross.

When we partake of the bread during the Lord’s Supper, we partake of the life that we have in the body of Christ. If one is not in the body, therefore, he does not have life. It is for this reason that we are baptized into the body in order to have life. As the life of the flesh is in the blood, and was forfeited by sin, life eternal can be imparted only by the expiation made in giving up of His life by the sinless Savior.

The shedding of His blood in expiratory sacrifice brings us into a covenant relationship with God to enjoy His covering. To “drink His blood” is to appropriate the saving effects of His expiatory death. "God's Covering" is an expression which describes the spiritual protection and nurture which God provides for all those who are in a covenant relationship with Him. You cannot see His covering but you can certainly experience the effect which it has. The believer is not only saved, redeemed, and justified by the blood of Christ, the blood sets the believer free from the power of sin and makes him holy and enables him to grow in Christ likeness by the work of the Holy Spirit.

The new covenant in the blood of Jesus is the platform that allows us to enter into the presence of a perfect and holy God. It was shed on our behalf, and it grants us membership into a divine family and access to God's presence. It is the most precious treasure, and we should never lose our gratitude toward it. Through the blood of Jesus, our sins are not just covered, but completely washed away. The blood of Jesus is the bridge that reconciles us to God and makes us his beloved. In the blood of Jesus, we find victory over death and the promise of eternal life.

Those who are eating and drinking the “flesh and blood” of Jesus are the ones who have eternal life. Therefore, Christians are actively eating and drinking of the Lord’s Supper today that Jesus instituted. They eat and drink of the bread and fruit of the vine that represents the body (life) and blood (atoning sacrifice) of Jesus. Therefore, they are the ones who are in possession of eternal life because they have obeyed the Gospel in order to come into Christ (Romans 6 vs 3 - 6). When Christians partake of the Super, they are figuratively partaking of the incarnate blood and body of Jesus that was given as an atonement offering for their sins (Romans 3 vs 25).

In His incarnate state on earth, the Son was sustained by the power of God as everything of this world is sustained. Jesus lived because of His obedience to do the Will of the Father. In like manner, those who continue to feed on Jesus will continue to be sustained by Jesus who continues throughout eternity. Therefore, the eternity of anyone depends on their feeding on the life that proceeds from Jesus. Those who do not feed on Jesus cannot expect to be sustained throughout eternity. 

Eternal existence, therefore, depends on remaining in the presence of God who is indigenously eternal. Nothing can maintain eternity apart from the presence of God. Only God is eternal, and thus, all who would desire eternal existence must seek to come into a relationship with God. 

Prayer: Abba Father, thank You for the Supreme Sacrifice of Jesus Christ our Messiah on the cross for our salvation, and for our new covenant relationship with You. I will continually celebrate the event of the cross by the eating and drinking of the body and blood of Jesus, and rejoice in my continued sustenance in Your presence by Your mighty power, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed. Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

MARRIAGE MUST ALIGN WITH YOUR CALLING

Date: Saturday, December 20th, 2025 

Title: MARRIAGE MUST ALIGN WITH YOUR CALLING

Amos 3:3, John 5:30

No man fulfils destiny in isolation. The Bible asks, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3). Agreement here is not about hobbies or preferences—it is about alignment in the spirit. Jesus Himself declared, “I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me” (John 5:30). If Jesus submitted His will to the Father to fulfil His mission, how much more must we submit our marital choices to God’s will? Any marriage that does not align with your calling will eventually drag you away from it.A husband is meant to be helped by his wife, not hindered, and a wife is meant to be covered by her husband, not confused. When you marry outside your calling, you either spend your years struggling to pull a reluctant spouse along or you abandon your call to keep the marriage. That is why God will never choose a partner for you who is opposed to His assignment for your life. Sisters, you must ask, “What is this man’s destiny? What exactly am I to help him with?” Brothers, don’t marry a woman who despises your call, no matter how beautiful she looks or how much she flatters you. Beauty fades, but divine purpose endures.Practically, don’t be sentimental when it comes to destiny. If God says no, don’t negotiate. If He says wait, don’t run ahead. Marriage is a covenant partnership for divine assignment. A missionary cannot afford to marry a partner who hates the mission field, just as a minister cannot marry someone who despises the anointing. Let God choose for you; He knows who will fit your calling perfectly. If you are married already, consecrate your union afresh to God and insist that your home will serve His purpose. Anything less than destiny alignment is dangerous compromise.THOUGHT TO PONDER: Am I choosing a partner who aligns with God’s call on my life? Or am I dragging sentiment into a decision that demands accuracy?

Prayer: Lord, let my marriage align fully with Your call on my life. Deliver me from every compromise that will hinder my destiny.
