EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

SUNDAY JANUARY 25, 2026.

SUBJECT: THE THIN LINE BETWEEN GRACE AND FAITH!

Memory verse: "Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” (John 11 vs 40.)

READ: Mark 9 verse 23 - 29:

9:23: Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.

9:24: Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord I believe, help my unbelief!”

9:25: When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!”

9:26: Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, “He is dead.”

9:27:But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

9:28: And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?

9:29: So He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.”

INTIMATION:

There is a very thin line between grace and faith that is often missed by many. Because these two work together, the line between them is difficult for many to discern. And if we do miss it, our lives become confused. Many trust their faith to meet their needs. When their needs are not met, then they tried to have more faith because they are unable to discern the very fine line between faith and grace. They are not seeing beyond their faith to seek the grace of God (the power of God) to meet their needs.

In our memory verse, Jesus told Mary that it was only her faith (her believe) that would make her see the glory of a God (the power of God) raise the brother Lazarus from the dead. And this was the reason why Jesus said in Matthew 17 vs 21, "...if you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there," and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you." It is not the tiny faith (as tiny as the tiniest seed on earth) that will move the mountain, but the mighty power of God (the grace of God) which came through your tiny faith to bring about the answer to the petition.

For instance, Jesus had faith (great faith I supposed) all the time He was suffering. He had faith while in the Garden of Gethsemane. He had faith before the high priest and Pilate. He had faith when He was being ridiculed, abused and mistreated. He had faith on the way to Golgotha. He had faith while hanging on the cross. He even had faith while His body lay in the tomb; He had absolute faith that God would not leave Him there but would raise Him up, as He had promised.

At the point of completing His task, when God separated from Jesus, His faith was shaken hence His question, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" That is "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" (Matthew 27 vs 46). That was an indication of His shaken faith. Consequently, Jesus called the Father 'My God,” instead of 'My Father' He had all through called Him before then. For all of Jesus’ faith, nothing happened until the power of God came forth to bring about the resurrection. His faith only kept Him stable until the Father's appointed time for His deliverance. We can have all the faith in the world, but it will avail us nothing until it is 'plugged into' the source of power, which is the grace of God.

In order to get our needs met, in order to receive anything from the Lord, we must have both faith and grace. It is by grace through faith that we are saved. And it is by grace through faith that all our prayers are answered and all of our needs are met. Keep your eyes on God to deliver you, not your faith. In Second Timothy 2 vs 13, the Bible says, "If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself." The Bible is teaching us here to get our eyes off our ability to believe (as the ultimate), but rather on God's willingness to meet our needs even though we do not have perfect faith.

In the passage we read today, the man asked Jesus for healing of his son. Jesus told him that all things are possible to those who believe. The man replied, "Lord, I believe! Help my unbelief" or "Help my weakness of faith!" The man knew his faith was lacking, but he was honest about it, and Jesus healed his son. God's grace (power) came on the scene and gave the man what he did not deserve considering his faith—his believe. Jesus made it clear to His disciples that it’s not the faith or believe, but the power or grace of God, which can only be activated to deliver to us by prayer, or by prayer and fasting, in some cases.

Prayer: Abba Father, You are ever faithful, even in my unfaithfulness, and Your steadfastness never seizes. Endue me with spirit of complete obedience and trust in You, casting all my cares upon You, knowing that there is nothing difficult nor beyond your power, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

THE CAPACITY TO OVERCOME CAME WITH YOUR SALVATION PACKAGE

Date: Sunday, January 25th, 2026

Title: THE CAPACITY TO OVERCOME CAME WITH YOUR SALVATION PACKAGE

Revelation 2:7, 1 John 5:4

When Jesus wrote to the churches in Revelation, He kept repeating one word: OVERCOMER. To Ephesus, He said, “To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God” (Revelation 2:7). God is not raising a group of pampered Christians that collapse when people talk against them or cut them out of their circle because they stand for righteousness. He is raising sons and daughters that can walk through affliction, persecution, blasphemous names and evil speaking and still keep their walk with God intact. This kingdom is for overcomers. There are things to overcome in every generation, and you will not be the first Christian to face what you are facing now. If you keep your vital union with Jesus and stay with the programmes of your future that the Holy Spirit is running in your life, the very things that look as if they will swallow you will become the stepping stones by which you eat of the tree of life in your own destiny.If you are born again, you have the nature of an overcomer already inside you. What makes a lion different from a goat is not the beard, it is the heart. Many unbelievers dress like you, talk like you and even carry Bible, but what makes you different is that God has put the spirit of the overcomer inside you. 1 John 5:4 says, “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” You are not a loser, you are not a failure, and you must stop talking like one. Caleb looked at the same giants that terrified Israel and said, “We are well able to overcome it,” and God said he had a different spirit. That same different spirit is at work in you as you follow the Holy Spirit and feed on the word. Tell the devil today, my case is different, I am an overcomer in Christ Jesus.Overcomers are people that refuse to stay down. Losers give up, overcomers get up. You may have been knocked down in business, in ministry, in academics or even in a relationship, but you can come back from every setback because of the life of God inside you. Do not let any experience rename you. Do not sit down inside self pity and call yourself names that God did not call you. Start doing what overcomers do. Fill your mouth with the right words. Wake up in the morning and declare, “I am not a failure, I am not a loser, I am coming back from every setback.” As you resume obedience and keep your gaze on Jesus, the Holy Spirit will bring you out on a higher level. Men will look at your life and see fruits that prove that the overcomer nature God gave you is real.THOUGHT TO PONDER: How have you been speaking about yourself in the face of challenges, like an overcomer or like a victim?

Prayer: Lord, thank You for giving me the heart of an overcomer help me reject every loser identity, rise from every setback and walk in the victory You have given me in Christ, in Jesus Name. Amen.

Every day in the God's Word

EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

SATURDAY JANUARY 24, 2026.

SUBJECT : GRACE AND FAITH WORK TOGETHER!

Memory verse: "So the Lord said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you." (Luke 17 vs 6.)

READ: Hebrews 11 vs 4 - 7:

11:4: By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.

11:5: By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not sea death, "and was not found, because God has taken him", for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

11:6: But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

11:7: By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

INTIMATION:

There is a very fine line between grace and faith that is often missed by many. Because these two work together, the line between them is difficult for many to discern. And if we do miss it, our lives become confused.

Many trust their faith to meet their needs. When their needs are not met, then they tried to have more faith because they are unable to discern the very fine line between faith and grace. They are not seeing beyond their faith to seek the grace of God (the power of God) to meet their needs.

Most people seemed to base all achievements on their faith, when, in reality, every victory or achievement is based on God's faithfulness bestowed on us by His grace—the power of God. If we frustrate the grace of God, we are going to feel frustrated. This explains why, by the grace of God, we receive our petition even when our faith is near zero: "So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there," and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you." (Matthew 17 vs 20.)

It is not the tiny faith (as tiny as the tiniest seed on earth) that will move the mountain, but the mighty power of God (the grace of God) which came through your tiny faith. All the faith story at the dawn of history, in the passage we read today, were the power of God (the grace of God) manifesting. But without faith, it is impossible to plug into the power source—the grace of God.

Jesus had faith (great faith I supposed) all the time He was suffering. He had faith while in the Garden of Gethsemane. He had faith before the high priest and Pilate. He had faith when He was being ridiculed, abused and mistreated. He had faith on the way to Golgotha. He had faith while hanging on the cross. He even had faith while His body lay in the tomb; He had absolute faith that God would not leave Him there but would raise Him up, as He had promised.

But do you realize that for all His faith, nothing happened until the power of God came forth to bring about the resurrection? His faith only kept him stable until the Father's appointed time for His deliverance. We can have all the faith in the world, but it will avail us nothing until it is 'plugged into' the source of power, which is the grace of God.

In order to get our needs met, in order to receive anything from the Lord, we must have both faith and grace. It is by grace through faith that we are saved. And it is by grace through faith that all our prayers are answered and all of our needs are met: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God." (Ephesians 2 vs 8.)

In Second Timothy 2 vs 13, the Bible says, "If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself." The Bible is teaching us here to get our eyes off our ability to believe (as the ultimate), but rather to God's willingness to meet our needs even though we do not have perfect faith.

Remember the man who came to Jesus asking for healing of his son. Jesus told him that all things are possible to those who believe. The man replied, "Lord, I believe! Help my unbelief" or "Help my weakness of faith!" The man knew his faith was lacking, but he was honest about it, and Jesus healed his son. (See Mark 9 vs 17 - 24.) God's grace (power) came on the scene and gave the man what he did not deserve.

Keep your eyes on God to deliver you, not your faith. But always pray with faith for the grace of God (unmerited favor) to come upon you, and enable you to meet all your needs.

Prayer: Abba Father, You are my source of everything. By my strength I cannot prevail, for without you can do nothing. My eyes are upon You. Give me the grace to have faith in Your power to help me always obtain a good testimony of Your grace working in me and for me in all things, in Jesus' Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

DEVELOPING AN OVERCOMER’S HEART TO BECOME FRUITFUL

Date: Saturday, January 24th, 2026

Title: DEVELOPING AN OVERCOMER’S HEART TO BECOME FRUITFUL

Romans 8:17, 1 Samuel 17:32

Anywhere the Bible talks of us as partakers of the glory of Christ, it talks of suffering with Him. Romans 8:17 says “if we suffer with Him, we shall also be glorified together.” The suffering the Bible is talking about here is not the affliction of the devil that you must resist, it is the affliction of the gospel. It is the training that God allows so that the wealth of maturity can come out of you. If you go through that training beautifully without complaint, it matures you. If you go through it murmuring, you will repeat the class. God will not pamper you in a way that weakens you. What you are going through now is doing something to your heart if you allow it. The question is, will it build in you the heart of an overcomer or the heart of a quitter?When Goliath showed up, everybody in Israel had size and training, but only one boy had heart. Saul was taller than everybody, yet he did not have the heart for the fight. David had not attended any military school, but the lion and the bear he fought in the bush had done something to his inside. The private battles you are facing now are not a waste. Overcomers are not people who never meet tough situations, they are people who refuse to give up inside those situations. Many times when Christians lose, it is not because the devil is stronger, it is because they gave up too quickly.Many parents have accepted what they should have resisted. If the devil comes to attack your child with sickness, stand your ground and tell him to take his hands off. If it will take you twenty one days of fasting and prayer, give it. As a couple, labour together and build. You do not have time to start another marriage, another destiny, another calling. Let this year be the year you tell yourself, I will not negotiate away my future. I will not bow to fear. I will stay with God in the training until my heart becomes strong. As you allow the Holy Spirit to work like this on your inside, you will discover that you are not just a churchgoer, you are truly an overcomer, and your life will bear fruits that remain.THOUGHT TO PONDER: What does the way I handle pressure say about my heart today, and what changes must I embrace so that God can trust me with bigger battles and bigger fruits?

Prayer: Lord, work on my heart and deliver me from fear and quitting. Give me the heart of an overcomer that stands with You for my life, family and assignment until Your will is done. In Jesus name. Amen.

Every day in the God's Word

EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

FRIDAY JANUARY 23, 2026.

SUBJECT : SIN AND GOD’S FORGIVENESS!

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: Second Chronicles 6 vs 36 - 39:

6:36: When they sin against You, (for there is no one who does not sin), and You become angry with them, and deliver them to their enemies, and they take them captives to a land far or near;

6:37: yet when they come to themselves in the land where they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication to You in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned, we have done wrong, and have committed wickedness’;

6:38: and when they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have been carried captives, and pray toward their land which You gave to their fathers, the city which You have chosen, and toward the temple which I have built for Your name:

6:39: then hear from the heaven Your dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive Your people who have sinned against You.

INTIMATION:

Sin is a condition we all share, and we all should acknowledge it. The Bible makes it clear that no one is exempt from sin. The Scriptures say, “What is man, that he should be clean? and he who is born of a woman, that he could be righteous? If God puts no trust in His saints, and the heavens are not pure in His sight, How much less man, who is abominable and filthy, who drinks iniquity like water!” (Job 15 vs 14 - 16.)

No one but God is perfect, all of us stand guilty before Him (Romans 3 vs 23) and need His forgiveness. No matter how well we perform or how much we achieve compared to others, none of us can boast of his or her goodness when compared to God’s standard. God not only expects us to obey His laws, but He wants us to love Him with all our heart. No one except Jesus Christ has done that perfectly. Because we all fall short, we must turn to Christ to save us (Romans 10 vs 9 - 11).

The Scripture says, “For there is not a just man on earth who does good and does not sin.” (Ecclesiastes 7 vs 20.) No one can say I am pure from sin. As soon as we confess our sin and repent, sinful thoughts and actions begin to creep back into our lives. We all need ongoing cleansing, moment by moment. Thank God for He provides forgiveness by His mercy when we ask for it. Make confession and repentance a regular part of your talks with God. Rely on Him moment by moment for the cleansing you need.

The four conditions God has given us for forgiveness are: (1) Humble yourself by admitting your sins. Humbling yourself before the Lord is the first condition for seeking God’s forgiveness. God hears and dwells with the humble: “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.)

(2) Pray to God, ask for forgiveness. Prayer is to make supplication or petition to God. It is a call of love of the Father to come and fellowship with Him. Prayer is our need crying out for help with the voice of faith to the Father. Prayer therefore, is born out of the sense of need, and the assurance that the need will be met. In summary, prayer is God's Will and part of His program for us, to come before Him with our needs.

(3) Seek God continually. To seek the Lord is to search for Him, and desire to know Him, even the more. It is God’s delight that we seek Him; The Lord said, “Yet they seek Me daily, and delight to know My ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and did not forsake the ordinance of their God: they ask of Me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching God.” (Isaiah 58 vs 2). The Scripture says, “Seek the LORD and His strength, seek His face continually.” (First Chronicles 16 vs 11.)

(4) Turn from sinful behavior. True repentance is more than talk—it is changed behavior. Turning from your sinful ways is actually acknowledging that your former ways are unacceptable, and you genuinely desire to change. True repentance also involves a commitment not to continue in sin. We wouldn’t be genuinely repenting from our sins if we planed to commit them again, and just wanted temporary forgiveness. We should also pray for strength to defeat temptation the next time we face it.

God will answer our earnest prayers, and knowing we have a tendency to sin should keep us close to God, seeking His guidance and strength. When we realize we have sinned, we should quickly ask God for forgiveness and restoration.

Prayer: Abba Father, You are so merciful; forgiving my sins and remembering them no more. I desire to be in fellowship with You always, and for the endowment of Your grace to live a purposeful life in line with Your Will, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed. Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

FAITHFUL UNTO THE END

Date: Friday, January 23rd, 2026

Title: FAITHFUL UNTO THE END

Revelation 2:10, James 1:12

When Jesus spoke to the church in Smyrna, He did not promise them a life without pressure. He said, “Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer” (Revelation 2:10) and He told them plainly that some would be cast into prison so that they would be tried. That does not sound like the modern gospel of convenience, but it is the voice of the Master who has passed through death and is now alive forevermore. James says the man that endures temptation will receive a crown of life (James 1:12). God does not waste suffering. Every pressure that meets you inside a vital union with Christ is meant to end in praise, honour and glory, not disgrace.If you will grow in fruitfulness, you must have settled some decisions and buried them. There are matters that must be closed in your spirit so that you are no longer negotiating them with the devil. You settle that you will live by faith, even if it means standing when it is not popular. You settle that you will walk in holiness, even if it means losing some relationships. You settle that you will obey God, even when obedience looks like the slower road. The Lord told Smyrna to be faithful unto death. That is not only about physical martyrdom. It is a call to an attitude that says, “Satan, even if I must stand on this promise for as long as it takes, I am not backing down.” Many believers stand for a short while and then collapse when the answer delays. The problem is not that faith does not work, the problem is that they did not stay long enough on the faith lane.As we move further into this new year, God is looking for men and women who will not only shout hallelujah in church but will stand with Him on Monday morning when the furnace is hot. The three Hebrew boys told the king that even if God did not deliver them, they would still not bow. That is the kind of posture that makes the devil afraid of you. Faithfulness unto death is not stubbornness in your own will, it is stubborn loyalty to the will of God as revealed by the Holy Spirit and the word. Check your life today. Where have you been treating obedience as a trial arrangement that you can cancel if it becomes uncomfortable? As you stay in vital union with Jesus, settle your decisions, and refuse to give up, the same pressures that threatened to break you will become the pathway by which you wear your own crown of life.THOUGHT TO PONDER: What decisions about faith, obedience and holiness do I still keep on the negotiation table whenever pressure comes, instead of settling them once and for all before God?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, deliver me from the fear of suffering and from a weak, unstable heart. Help me to settle my decisions in Your will and to stay faithful until the end in every assignment You give me. Amen.

Every day in the God's Word

EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

THURSDAY JANUARY 22, 2026.

SUBJECT : HAVE A CONTINUED ATTITUDE OF PRAYER!

Memory verse: "Pray without ceasing." (First Thessalonians 5 vs 17.)

READ: Luke 18 vs 1 - 8:

18:1: Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,

18:2: saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man.

18:3: Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary,’

18:4: And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man,

18:5: yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’”

18:6: Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said.

18:7: And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?

18:8: I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

INTIMATION:

It is the desire of the Father that His children approach Him in prayer. It is through prayer that, not only the inward man is strengthened, but also the work of God is called upon by the believer to function in his or her life. Prayer is the natural response of those who recognize their need for the help of God in their lives. Most Christians have realized the fact that the Father's heart is hungry for the companionship of His children. His heart hunger is the reason for man’s redemption. God wants a constant fellowship with His children. It was His plan from the beginning hence He visited Adam everyday in the Garden. He loves us and that love impels Him to call us to prayer.

Prayer is the call of love of the Father to come and fellowship with Him. Prayer is our need crying out for help. It is the voice of faith to the Father. It is for this reason that the Lord wants us to always pray; always be in His presence. Prayer, then, is facing God with man's needs, with His promise to meet those needs. It is born out of the sense of need, and the assurance that the need will be met. The Lord taught us to pray, He is one with us in this prayer life. Prayer is part of God's program for us.

It is God's Will that His children will come to His Throne Room, to stand in His presence without reproof or condemnation. It is for this reason that Jesus Christ, while teaching His disciples how to pray, said, "When you pray" (Matthew 6 vs 5), and not "If you pray." It is God's intention that His children will visit their Father, the children coming joyously into the presence of their Loving Parent, and are welcome.

The apostle Paul, in consonance with the Lord’s demand, says we should pray without ceasing; persist in prayer and not give up; continuing steadfastly, and earnestly in it, and being vigilant in it with thanksgiving (Romans 12 vs 12; Colossians 4 vs 2). To persist in prayer does not mean endless repetition or painfully long prayer sessions. It means keeping our requests constantly before God as we live for Him day by day, believing He will answer. Emphasis here is not on a continued action of prayer, but on a continued attitude of prayer. In other words, the believer should be in a state of mind that he or she can at all times take part in the action of praying to the Father; being of an attitude at all times that is conducive for offering prayer to God.

When we live by faith, we are not to give up. God may delay answering, but His delays have good reasons. As we persist in prayer we grow in character, faith, and hope. When we pray, we are in constant communication with the Father and it enriches us spiritually. We touch the Father through our prayers, and there cannot be any touching of the Master without the Master knowing it. When our need touches Him, it makes a demand upon his ability to meet that need.

For instance, one day when the crowd was pressing around the Master, Jesus said, "Who touched Me?" And they said, "Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, "Who touched Me?" But Jesus said, "Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me." (Luke 8 vs 45 - 47.) Touching the Master is making a demand from Him. The woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, touched Him, making a demand upon His ability to meet her need, and the Master knew it, and she got her need met—she was healed of the disease (See Luke 8 vs 40 - 48).

In the passage we read today, we learned that the Lord wants us to persist in prayer and not give up. It’s a Christian behavior, and an expression of our faith that God answers our prayers. Faith shouldn’t die if the answers come slowly, for the delay may be God’s way of working His Will in one’s life. He is ever present—Omnipresent—, always listening, always answering, may be not in ways you had hoped, but in ways that He knows are best as the All-knowing—Omniscient God. If the unjust judge responds to constant pressure, how much more will a great and loving God respond to us? If we know He loves us, we can believe He will hear our cries for help.

Prayer: Abba Father, You are my Loving Father, and Faithful Companion. Endue me with the spirit of continuous prayer and supplication to You, making my requests known to You, with thanksgiving, believing that You will come through to me, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

TRIALS THAT MAKE YOU STRONGER IN CHRIST

Date: Thursday, January 22nd, 2026

Title: TRIALS THAT MAKE YOU STRONGER IN CHRIST

Revelation 2:8-10, 1 Peter 1:7

One of the names Jesus introduced Himself with to the church in Smyrna was, “the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive.” He was telling a persecuted church, “Nothing you are going through is outside My control, and I have passed through the worst and come out victorious.” When persecution or pressure comes, the devil’s first lie is that you are alone and that your problem is peculiar. The Bible says, “that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire (1 Peter 1:7),” is meant to end in praise, honour and glory. God sees your tears, your secret insults, the mockery you swallow quietly because you have chosen to stand for righteousness. He knows when people misinterpret your obedience as foolishness. He is not an absent Father. He is the first and the last, and He is standing inside that fire with you.You must begin to see trials as part of the training programme for a fruitful Christian life. Many of the things you hated when you were younger are what God is now using as stamina for your destiny. Every destiny has a cup of suffering. The church in Smyrna suffered because they were doing what God wanted, not because they were careless. Israel would never have left Egypt if Pharaoh remained friendly; it was the hostility that made them cry for freedom. In the same way, God sometimes allows people around you to change so that you will stop enjoying slavery and start pressing into inheritance. Do not waste your trials. Instead, tell yourself, “This pressure is adding something to me. It will end as praise, honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.”Stop envying people who seem to have no battles. Some children of wealthy parents are weak because nothing has ever stretched them. Some children of poor parents are strong because life has trained them. If God has allowed some rough roads on your journey, gather the strength, faith and experience from there and pass the spirit of courage to your own children. Refuse to define yourself by what you suffered; define yourself by the God who brought you through it. As you stay in vital union with Jesus in the fire, keep obeying Him and keep your heart tender, those same trials will become the fertiliser that makes you bear much fruit in life and destiny.THOUGHT TO PONDER: What adjustments do you need to make so that your present challenges become platforms for deeper intimacy with Jesus rather than excuses for compromise?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, open my eyes to see my trials the way You see them. Deliver me from self pity and complaining. Work in me the heart of an overcomer that learns, grows and bears much fruit in every season, in Your name. Amen.

Every day in the God's Word

EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

WEDNESDAY JANUARY 21, 2026.

SUBJECT : GOD’S MERCY IN OUR LIVES!

Memory verse: "But go and learn what that means: 'I will have mercy, and not sacrifice.' For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." (Matthew 9 vs 13.)

READ: Zechariah 3 vs 1 - 5:

3:1: Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to oppose him.

3:2: And the Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?”

3:3: Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the Angel.

3:4: Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, “Take away the filthy garments from Him.” And to him He said, “See I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes.”

3:5: And I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head, and they put the clothes on him. And the Angel of the Lord stood by.

INTIMATION:

Mercy is kindness or forbearance towards someone in one's power: a good thing regarded as derived from God. Mercy is God's nature, and is one of His profound ways of helping His people. God's mercy is forgiving, compassionate, withholding of the punishment or judgement our sins deserve. And because we can't do without help from God, His mercy endures forever.

King David, the man God described as; “a man after My own heart,” extensively utilized that nature of God. For instance, God was angry with David when he counted the people of Israel and sent a plaque among the people, such that seventy thousand men died in one day. But David cried out for God's mercy, which he knew would always answer for him and God was intreated. David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Please let us fall now into the hand of the Lord; for His mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man." (Second Samuel 24 vs 14.)

In the passage we read today, the prophet Zechariah, had a vision of how merciful God is. In the vision, he saw the activities or accusations of Satan against the children of Israel represented by Joshua the high priest (He was Israel’s high priest when the remnant returned to Jerusalem and began rebuilding the walls). Satan accused (“opposed”) Joshua. Though the accusations were accurate because the children of Israel had sinned against God (the reason Joshua stood in filthy garments (sins), but yet God revealed His mercy, stating that He chose to save His people in spite of their sin.

Satan is always accusing people of their sins before God (Job 1 vs 6). But he greatly misunderstands the breadth of God’s mercy and forgiveness toward those who believe in Him. God punished Judah through the fire of great trials, but He rescued the nation before it was completely destroyed, like “a brand plucked from the fire.”

Zechariah’s vision graphically portrays how we receive God’s mercy. We do nothing ourselves to deserve it. But God removes our filthy garments (sins), then provides us with fine, new clothes (the righteousness and holiness of God (Second Corinthians 5 vs 21; Ephesians 4 vs 24; Revelation 19 vs 8)). All we need to do is repent and ask God to forgive us. When Satan tries to make you feel dirty and unworthy, remember that the clean clothes of Christ’s righteousness make you worthy to draw near to God.

There is a need to understand the place of God's mercy in our lives. It’s important also to note that what you are fighting against may not be the devil, or witches and wizards as you had thought; it could be something you had done, like David, that angered God. He can be intreated when you call for His mercy. Also, certain things may be responsible for where we find ourselves and we may not know what they are. You may know all that you are doing, but will not know all that is doing you. But the mercy of God will always answer for us when we cry to Him in prayers.

Maybe a curse was placed upon one of your forefathers, which you inherited without knowing. Some people have so much money but can't account for how it was spent. They have no land, house, or anything to show for all the money that passed through their hands, yet they are heavily indebted. Some don't even know what next to do with their lives. They just keep wandering about. They invest in all manner of businesses and never realize anything out of them.

For some people, the things or habits plaguing them are like ancestral curses. They discover that things such as poverty, failure, marriage spell, immorality, drunkenness, lying, etc run through all their family tree. If you find yourself in any of such predicament, you can cry for the mercy of God to severe you from them. You can say to God, "Lord, I don't know the cause of this thing, but You know all things. Whatever I may have dabbled into through carelessness or ignorance, which has brought this affliction in my life, Lord have mercy! Whatever may have come on me through the negative side of my natural background, let Your mercy prevail for me!" Plead the mercy of God against that mysterious affliction in your life and it will give up, and you will be free.

It is God's Will to show mercy, therefore, His desire is to have mercy on us out of His Love nature, and not out of our ability to appease Him with our sacrifice. Hence God's instruction in Psalm 50 vs 15, "And call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me."

God willingly responds with help when we ask. Perhaps there is a sin in your life that you thought God would not forgive. God's steadfast love and mercy are greater than any sin, and He promises forgiveness: "Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: Great is Your faithfulness."(Lamentations 3 vs 22 - 23.)

Prayer: Abba Father, You are loving, and ever merciful. Like David, I prefer to fall into Your hands because I know Your mercy endures forever. Great is Your faithfulness. Let Your mercy, O Lord, locate me in my distress, even when I don’t know the source for my afflictions, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

DISCERN THE SPIRIT IN YOUR ENVIRONMEN

Date: Wednesday, January 21st, 2026

Title: DISCERN THE SPIRIT IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT

Ephesians 6:12, Acts 8:5-9

As you grow as a Christian that wants to bear much fruit, you must understand that you are not living in a vacuum. You are planted in a territory that has a spiritual climate. The Bible says we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers. Those principalities sit over cities, tribes, families and even professions, pushing people in a particular wrong direction. When you decide that you will live as a serious Christian in your own city, the ruling spirit in that land will notice you. Some of the pressures you call ordinary trouble are actually the environment trying to pull you back to its old pattern. Until you discern the spirit in your environment, you will keep explaining away spiritual battles as normal life and you will surrender fruits that God is looking for.One of the things God must teach you if you will fruitful as a believer is how not to team up with the spirit in the land. In some places, people worship money; corruption is normal conversation. The spirit in the land is only adding names to its list of people it has conquered. The Church cannot copy that pattern and expect to manifest the glory of God. For a believer, excellence must become a lifestyle that flows from the nature of God inside you, not a performance you put on when people are watching.Acts 8 shows us another important truth. Principalities do not operate in the air alone, they look for personalities to express them. In Samaria, there was a man called Simon who used sorcery and bewitched the city, giving out that he was some great one. When Philip came with the gospel, the unclean spirits cried out and came out of many that were possessed, and there was great joy in that city. The principality that had ruled through Simon lost its grip. In every land the devil is looking for men and women that will become his mouth, his hands and his legs, so that he can spread rebellion, immorality, laziness, bad work attitude and wrong values. You must therefore be sensitive, not suspicious, and ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the ruling attitude in your environment and to the personalities that carry it. As you refuse to copy the spirit in the land and insist on copying Christ, you will stand out as an overcomer, finish what you start, honour God where others despise Him and bear fruits that no territorial power can stop.THOUGHT TO PONDER: How will I practically refuse to team up with that spirit and instead follow the Holy Spirit so that I can finish my God-given assignments?

Prayer: Lord, open my eyes to the spirit in my environment and to the personalities it uses, help me to refuse every wrong pattern and to finish every assignment You give me, so that my life will bear fruits that glorify You. Amen.

Every day in the God's Word

EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

TUESDAY JANUARY 20, 2026.

SUBJECT: THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!

Memory verse: "So that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure,” (Second Thessalonians 1 vs 4.)

READ: Acts 2 vs 1 - 4:

2:1 When the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

2:3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

INTIMATION:

The power of the Holy Spirit is the power of God. The Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, has appeared throughout Scriptures as a Being through and by whom great works of power are made manifest. His power was first seen in the act of creation, for it was by His power the world came into being (Genesis 1 vs 1 - 2; Job 26 vs 13).

The Holy Spirit also empowered men in the Old Testament to bring about God’s Will: “So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the Lord came upon David in power” (First Samuel 16 vs 3; see also Exodus 31 vs 2 - 5; Numbers 27 vs 18).

Although the Spirit did not permanently indwell God’s people in the Old Testament, He worked through them and gave them power to achieve things they would not have been able to accomplish on their own. All of Samson’s feats of strength are directly attributed to the Spirit coming upon him (Judges 14 vs 6, 19; 15 vs 14).

Throughout history God has revealed His power through mighty miracles over nature. He promises to continue to reveal His power. The apostle Paul urged us to understand how great God’s power is (Ephesians 1 vs 18 - 23). The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to help us with our daily problems.

When you feel weak and limited, don’t despair. Remember that God can give you strength. The same power that control creation and raises the dead is available to you. The Holy Spirit is the manifestation of God who works in and through Christians in this dispensation of time in order to accomplish the work of God on earth through the church.

Jesus promised the Spirit as a permanent guide, teacher, seal of salvation, and comforter for believers (John 14 vs 16 - 18). He also promised that the Holy Spirit’s power would help His followers to spread the message of the gospel around the world: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1 vs 8). The salvation of souls is a supernatural work only made possible by the Holy Spirit’s power at work in the world.

At Pentecost (Acts 2 vs 1 - 4) the Holy Spirit was made available to all who believed in Jesus. We receive the Holy Spirit (are baptized with Him) when we receive Jesus Christ as our Savior. The baptism of the Holy Spirit must be understood in the light of his total work in Christians: (1) The Spirit marks the beginning of the Christian experience. We cannot be Christians without His Spirit (Romans 8 vs 9); we cannot be joined to Christ without His Spirit (First Corinthians 6 vs 17); we cannot be adopted as His children without His Spirit (Romans 8 vs 14 - 17; Galatians 4 vs 6 - 7); we cannot be in the Body of Christ except by baptism in the Spirit (First Corinthians 12 vs 13).

(2) The Spirit is the power of our new lives. He begins a lifelong process of change making us more like Christ (Galatians 3 vs 3; Philippians 1 vs 6). When we receive Christ by faith, we begin an immediate personal relationship with God. The Holy Spirit works in us to help us become like Christ.

(3) The Spirit unites the Christian community in Christ (Ephesians 2 vs 19 - 22). The Holy Spirit can be experienced by all, and he works through all (First Corinthians 12 vs 11; Ephesians 4 vs 4). The kingdom Jesus preached about was, first of all, a spiritual kingdom established in the hearts and lives of believers (Luke 17 vs 21). God’s presence and power dwell in the person of the Holy Spirit.

The “power” the believers receive from the Holy Spirit includes courage, boldness, confidence, insight, ability, and authority. If you believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior, you can experience the power of the Holy Spirit in your life.

During His earthly ministry, Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit (Luke 4 vs 1), led by the Spirit (Luke 4 vs 14), and empowered by the Spirit to perform miracles (Matthew 12 vs 28). After Jesus had ascended to heaven, the Spirit equipped the apostles to perform miracles, too (Second Corinthians 2 vs 12; Acts 2 vs 43; 3 vs 1 - 7; 9 vs 39 - 41). The power of the Holy Spirit was manifest among all the believers of the early church through the dispensation of spiritual gifts such as speaking in tongues, prophesying, teaching, wisdom, and more.

Jesus had instructed His disciples to witness to people of all nations about Him (Matthew 28 vs 19 - 20). But they were told to wait first for the Holy Spirit (Luke 24 vs 49). God has important work for you to do for Him, but you must do it by the power of the Holy Spirit. We often like to get on with the job, even if it means running ahead of God. But waiting is sometimes part of God’s plan. Are you waiting and listening to God’s complete instructions, or are you running ahead of His plans? We need God’s timing and power to be truly effective.

All those who put their faith in Jesus Christ are immediately and permanently indwelt by the Holy Spirit (Romans 8 vs 11). And, although some of the spiritual gifts have ceased (e.g., speaking in tongues and prophecy), the Holy Spirit still works in and through believers to accomplish His Will. His power leads us, convicts us, teaches us, and equips us to do His work and spread the gospel. The Holy Spirit’s powerful indwelling is an amazing gift we should never take lightly.

PRAYER: Abba Father, thank You for the unparalleled gift of the Holy Spirit and the subsequent manifestation of His power in the lives of believers in Christ. I covet earnestly the constant leading of the Holy Spirit in my life at all times and in all things, in the Jesus’ mighty Name I have prayed, Amen.

RAISING GODLINESS IN A HOSTILE WORLD

Date: Tuesday, January 20th, 2026

Title: RAISING GODLINESS IN A HOSTILE WORLD

2 Timothy 3:12, Matthew 5:10

At salvation, you were not only called to follow Jesus, you were also enlisted to raise the standard of godliness wherever you find yourself. The moment you decide that you will be like God in your words, habits and choices, you have signed up for persecution. The Bible says, “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12). There are people who will tell you that you are taking Christianity too far simply because you refused to lie, cheat or dress like the crowd. Some of that persecution will come from human beings who are offended that you no longer fit their description of a normal person. If you do not understand this, you will interpret every resistance you meet as a sign to lower your standard instead of seeing it as proof that you are on the right path.Godly living is not a gift that falls on you, it is a decision you make every day, and that decision has consequences. When you decide that you will talk like a Christian in your family, some relatives will pick offence. When you decide that you will run your business honestly, colleagues who cut corners will persecute you because your life is silently rebuking them. If you will be fruitful this year, you must make up your mind that you will always raise the standard of godliness, not reduce it to keep people happy.Jesus said, “Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake.” That means Heaven is watching how you respond when persecution comes because of your stand. Some women come to church every Sunday after a tongue lashing at home from an unbelieving husband, yet they lift their hands and rejoice before the Lord. Another sister with a born again husband is still grumbling because he did not wait for her to tie a particular headgear before leaving the house. Who is really serious with God between the two? Sometimes God will even allow a bit of persecution to wake you up from spiritual softness so that you toughen up inside. In this new year, refuse to hide your light just to blend with the crowd. Decide that in your dressing, your speech, your work attitude, your money and your relationships, you will quietly raise the standard of godliness, and as you abide in Christ, the Holy Spirit will use every pressure and persecution as tools to grow you into a fruitful, overcoming Christian.THOUGHT TO PONDER: Where am I quietly lowering the standard of godliness in order to avoid persecution or please people? What practical decisions must I take today to raise God’s standard in my home, work and church?

Prayer: Lord, strengthen my heart to choose godliness even when it attracts persecution. Help me to raise Your standard in every area of my life and turn every pressure to fruitfulness, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

MONDAY JANUARY 19, 2026.

SUBJECT: GOD USES ANYBODY TO ACHIEVE HIS PURPOSE!

Memory verse: "Now Joshua the son of Nun sent out of two men from Acacia Grove to spy secretly, saying, “Go view the land, especially Jericho.” So they went, and came to the house of a harlot named Rahab, and lodged there.” (Joshua 2 vs 1.)

READ: Acts 23 vs 16 - 22:

23:16: So when Paul's sister's son heard of their ambush, he went and entered the barracks and told Paul.

23:17: Then Paul called one of the centurions to him and said, “Take this young man to the commander, for he has something to tell him.”

23:18: So he took him and brought him to the commander and said, “Paul the prisoner called me to him and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to say to you.

23:19: Then the commander took him by the hand, went aside, and asked privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”

23:20: And he said, “The Jews have agreed to ask that you bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though they were going to enquirer more fully about him.

23:21: But do not yield to them: for more than forty of them lie in wait for him, men who have bound themselves by an oath that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now they are ready, waiting for a promise from you.

23:22: So the commander let the young man depart, and commanded him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”

INTIMATION:

God has no favorites; none preferred above others, liked or loved above others. We are all created in His own image and after His likeness. We are equally loved by Him; “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3 vs 16). God’s work in history is not limited by human failures or sins, and He works through ordinary people. He can use anyone, of any age, and any background, who is willing to yield to Him. Just as God used all kinds of people to bring His Son into the world, He uses all kinds today to accomplish His Will. And God wants to use you. Nobody is excluded from God’s love, but we appropriate it to ourselves by believing in His Son—Jesus Christ—He sent to us.

Several heroes in the Bible were common people: Jacob was known as a deceiver but God used him to “father” the Israelite nation (Genesis 27 - 28). Joseph was a slave in Egypt, but God used him to save his family, and the birth of Israelite nation (Genesis 39). Moses was a shepherd in exile and a murderer, but God used him to lead Israel out of bondage to the Promised Land (Exodus 3). Gideon was a farmer but God used him to deliver Israel from the Midianites (Judges 6 vs 11 - 14). Jephthah was the Son of a harlot, but God used him to deliver Israel from the Ammonites (Judges 11).

David was a shepherd boy and last-born of the family, but God used him exceedingly to defeat the enemies of the Israelites, and he became Israel’s greatest king. Esther was a slave girl, but God used her to save her people from massacre (Esther). Mary was a peasant girl, but God made her the mother of Jesus (Luke 1 vs 27 - 28). Matthew was a tax collector, but God used him as one of the apostles and Gospel writer (Matthew 9 vs 9). Paul a persecutor of Christians, but God converted him to be the most influential of the apostles (First Corinthians 15 vs 9 - 10).

Our memory verse relates to the use of prostitute by God to accomplish His plan. Rahab was a prostitute in the city of Jericho. As a prostitute, she lived on the edge of society, one stop short of rejection. Her house, built right into the city wall, provided both lodging and favors to travelers. God used her and gave her the courage to hide the spies and lie to the authorities. God works through people, like Rahab, whom we are inclined to reject. God remembered her because of her faith, not her profession. If at times you feel like a failure, remember that Rahab rose above her situation through her trust in God. You can do the same.

In the passage we read today, God used a child to accomplish His plan to save the apostle Paul’s life. It is easy to overlook children, assuming that they aren’t old enough to do much for the Lord. But this young man played an important part in protecting Paul’s life. Even Jesus made it clear that children are important (Matthew 18 vs 2 - 6).

The encounter of Jesus with the woman of Samaria in John 4 vs 7 - 42 clearly emphasizes God’s character of not being particular about your background, and loves us equally. The woman (1) was a Samaritan, a member of the hated mixed race, (2) was known to be living in sin, and (3) was in a public place. No responsible Jewish man would talk to a woman under such circumstances. But Jesus did, her social status, past sin, and her race notwithstanding. The same woman was used to convert a whole city—the city of Samaria. Jesus selected “ordinary” men with a mixture of backgrounds and personalities to be His disciples. He can use you!

Prayer: Abba Father, I love You, all I have is Yours, Yours I am, Yours I want to be, use me as it pleases You. Here I am, use me, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed. Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

YOU BECOME WHAT AND WHO YOU FOLLOW

Monday, January 19th, 2026

Title: YOU BECOME WHAT AND WHO YOU FOLLOW

Matthew 4:19, 1 Corinthians 11:1-

At salvation, God’s first call to you is not to join a group in church but to be a follower of Jesus. Church membership is part of God’s plan, but it is a means to an end, not the end itself. Jesus did not say, “Join my crowd”; He said, “Follow me, and I will make you.” It is as you follow that He makes you into a fruitful Christian that can bear much fruit in life, ministry and destiny. Many people are very active in church but are not deliberate about following Jesus personally, so their lives do not move from level to level in manifestation. If your Christianity is only group based, you will hide inside the crowd, but when persecution, pressure or temptation comes, it will be clear whether you truly followed the Lord or only followed friends.When you come into a local church, you must find out who and what you are supposed to follow. Paul said, “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.” That means you follow men only to the degree that they are clearly following Jesus. A believer who does not understand this will follow anybody that looks successful, even if such a person is walking with the devil. As a child of God there is nothing wrong in learning in your field from people ahead of you, but you must know the limits of your followership. Jesus must remain the primary person you are following in everything, or you will gradually raise the standard of success while lowering the standard of godliness.In this new year, I want you to sit down and examine your secret models, because you become who you follow. Some Christians come to church but are actually following celebrities, worldly professionals and unbelieving relatives in their behaviour and choices. If your real pattern in finances is a corrupt businessman, or in marriage is a godless entertainer, do not be surprised when your fruits begin to look like theirs instead of like Christ. God is calling you to raise the standard of godliness again in your own life. Decide that you will study Jesus in the Bible, follow His lifestyle of obedience, meekness, purity and courage, and then follow leaders whose doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, love and patience match that pattern. Break away from any influence that is dragging you into compromise, no matter how admired or wealthy that person is. As you choose to follow Jesus closely and follow men only as they follow Him, you will see the Holy Spirit begin to make you, shape your heart and cause your life to bear fruits that will stand in the fire of eternity.THOUGHT TO PONDER: Who are you truly following in your secret thoughts, desires and decisions today? What practical step will you take this week to shift your followership back to Jesus and godly examples that point you to Him?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to stop copying the wrong patterns, to follow You closely and to follow only leaders that truly follow You, so that my life will bear fruits that glorify God. Amen.

Every day in the God's Word

EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

SUNDAY JANUARY 18, 2026.

SUBJECT: THANKSGIVING IN WORSHIP!

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: Psalm 69 vs 30; 100 vs 4; Colossians 2 vs 6 - 7; 4 vs 2:

Psalm 69:30: I will praise the name of the LORD with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving.

100:4: Enter into His gate with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His Name.

Colossians 2:6: As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,

2:7: rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

4:2: Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.

INTIMATION:

The Christian works in thanksgiving for what God has done through His grace, acknowledging God’s goodness, which expresses your faith and confidence in Him. There is no powerful living apart from a life of thanksgiving which, of course, is the will of God for us. The Christian is zealous in the Lord because of his or her salvation that has come from the Lord through the offering of His Son Jesus Christ as a propitiation for our sins. Prayer and petitions (supplication) are to be made in the spirit of thanking God for all that He has done in our lives. When one truly understands the grace of God, He or she will respond in thanksgiving for all that God has done through Jesus.

God desires an attitude of thanksgiving, not just an act of it. Thanksgiving is an application for more. Being thankful for all the things He has done and is doing in your life is a pathway to receiving your petitions from Him. Therefore, when you have petitioned God for something, immediately begin to thank Him in trust and confidence that the thing you have asked for is on the way coming. The apostle Paul counsels all believers to give thanks in everything; for this is the Will of God in Christ Jesus for them (First Thessalonians 5 vs 18.)

The apostle Paul lived a life of thanksgiving and preached the same to all believers. In some of the passages we read today, his counsel on thanksgiving, as an integral part of worship, is clearly expressed. In our memory verse (Philippians 4 vs 6), Paul counsels all believers to be thankful for what we ask in prayer, and to continuously be thankful and grateful for what He has already done in the past, what He is doing now, and what He is going to do in the future, including answer to your petition.

Jesus, our Messiah and perfect example, lived a life of thanksgiving during His earthly ministry. He knows the power of thanksgiving when communing with the Father, and gave thanks to the Father always. For example; He gave thanks to God when He broke the seven loaves and fishes and fed the four thousand (Matthew 15 vs 36). He gave thanks to God when He took the five loaves and two fishes and fed five thousand (John 6 vs 11). He also thanked God for hearing Him at the tomb of the dead Lazarus (John 11 vs 41). And He gave thanks to God when He gave the bread and wine to His disciples at the Last Super (Mark 14 vs 22 - 23).

Thanksgiving magnifies the Name of the LORD (Psalm 69 vs 30), and opens the gate of the court of the LORD (Psalm 100 vs 4). It also, multiplies what we have received (Second Corinthians 9 vs 12). For instance, when Jesus lifted up the bread and fishes and gave thanks it multiplied, thus thousands were fed by the meal of a child. Also, the power of thanksgiving in prayer helps us abound in Christ, drawing our life-giving strength from Christ (Colossians 2 vs 7). The more we draw our strength from Him, the less we are fooled by those who falsely claim to have life’s answers. If Christ is our strength we will be free from human regulations.

This kind of lifestyle of thanksgiving is an evidence of a grateful heart. If a person is grateful for what he already has, it is an indication that the individual is mature enough to receive other blessings. But if a person is always complaining about what he has now, why should the Lord bother to give him anything else to crab and gripe about. 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. Christians are motivated because of what they already have in Christ.

Prayer: Abba Father, there is none like You. Your steadfastness never seizes, and Your mercies never come to an end. Your compassion never fails. I will forever remain thankful to You for all Your great and wondrous works in my life. What You cannot do for me let it remain undone, and what You cannot give me may I never have it, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

PAYING ATTENTION TO THE LITTLE THINGS

Date: Sunday, January 18th, 2026

Title: PAYING ATTENTION TO THE LITTLE THINGS

Romans 8:19, Luke 16:10

The distinguishing factor between something good and something great lies in attention to detail. Those who stand out in any field are the ones that pay attention to the finer points, while those who remain average overlook them. As a believer, you must train yourself to be detail-oriented if you will fully manifest the glory of God over your life. The whole creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. The entire creation eagerly anticipates the revelation of your divine destiny. There is a heightened level of expectation for your manifestation because your revelation is the answer to someone’s prayers. When you manifest your true potential, someone else finds the solution to their problem. When you refuse to manifest, their cries seem unanswered.In spiritual things, details matter. It is not enough to say, I love God, if you are careless with the specific instructions He gives you. Salvation is the beginning of the journey, but it is your attention to the details of what the Holy Spirit is showing you that moves you from potential to manifestation. Little things like being punctual where God planted you, finishing the books He led you to read, praying when He wakes you, adjusting a wrong attitude when He corrects you, handling money the way He is teaching you, all these are details that add up. Many believers want a glorious future, but they ignore the small disciplines that are part of the programme of that future. They want to be mighty in ministry but despise simple obedience in their local church. They want to carry power, yet they are casual about holiness and private purity. You cannot be sloppy with details and expect great manifestations.So as you journey through 2026, I want you to begin to ask the Holy Spirit to show you the little things that matter to your destiny. What are the small instructions you have been treating as optional? Where have you been saying, It does not really matter, when heaven is saying, This is critical for where I am taking you. Start by writing down the key dealings God has been pressing on your heart. Arrange your daily routine around them. Let people call you strict if they like, you know you are aligning with the programme of your future. Pay attention to the way you speak, the way you think, the way you handle relationships, the way you respond when God nudges you. Creation is not waiting for your good intentions; it is waiting for a son or daughter who has honoured God enough to follow Him in the details.THOUGHT TO PONDER: What small instructions and details has God been repeating to you that you have treated as unimportant or optional? How will you reorder your daily life this year so that your attention to these little things can move you from potential to manifestation?

Prayer: Father, open my eyes to the little details that matter to my destiny and help me to be faithful in them so that Your glory can fully show in my life. Amen.

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!
