Text: 1 Samuel 30:18–19 (KJV)

And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives. And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.

Friends, we have an encouraging truth this morning that our God is a God of total restoration. He is not limited by the extent of our losses, disappointments, or setbacks. Yes, when God steps into a situation, He has the power to restore what was lost, rebuild what was broken, and renew what seemed beyond recovery. So, cheer up. David experienced this reality after the Amalekites attacked Ziklag and carried away their families and possessions. What appeared to be a devastating loss became a testimony of God's restoring power as David recovered all. So, no matter what we may have lost through trials, delays, mistakes, or difficult circumstances, God is able to bring restoration. His restoration is not partial but complete. The Scripture declares that nothing was lacking when David recovered all. Hence, don’t give up in seasons of loss or delay but continue to trust God as we stand on His promises. The God who restored David is still at work today. Joel 2:25 - And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

Amazingly, we must learn to place our confidence in God's ability to restore every area of our lives. For instance, God restored the life of Job. Job lost his possessions, health, and family comforts, yet God restored him and blessed his latter end more than his beginning. Jeremiah 30:17 - For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD. Joseph lost his freedom and reputation, yet God restored him and elevated him to a place of honour. Also, Naomi experienced deep loss, but God turned her sorrow into joy and gave her a new testimony. Therefore, whether the loss is spiritual, emotional, financial, or relational notwithstanding, God is able to make you whole again. Let’s remain faithful, and expect His intervention. I pray that God will bring complete restoration and cause us to experience His goodness, in Jesus' name.

Prayer Point:
Oh Lord, let Your power of complete restoration work in us as you restore every good thing that we have lost and make us whole again, in Jesus' name.

Action Quote: Friends, when God restores, He does not merely replace what was lost; He turns your loss into a greater testimony of His grace.

Text: Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.

Friends, life is filled with different seasons. There are seasons of joy and celebration, and there are also seasons of waiting, trials, and uncertainty. Yet, God desires that we worship Him faithfully in every season of life. Many people find it easy to worship when prayers are answered and things are going well, but true worship continues even in difficult moments. Worship in all seasons demonstrates trust in God’s unchanging nature. It acknowledges that God remains good whether we are on the mountaintop or walking through the valley. So, even if the fig tree did not blossom and the fields produced no food, he would still rejoice in the Lord. This kind of worship pleases God because it flows from deep faith and complete surrender. Habakkuk 3:17–18 - Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines… Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. Worship should not depend on circumstances; it should remain constant because God never changes.

Amazingly, worship during difficult seasons often releases strength, peace, and divine encouragement into our hearts. When we choose to worship instead of complain, we shift our focus away from problems and place it upon God’s greatness and faithfulness. Like, Paul and Silas worshipped God while imprisoned, and God responded with supernatural deliverance. Hence, worship invites God’s presence as it reminds us that He is working even when we cannot yet see the results. Psalm 34:1 says, I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. Romans 8:28 assures us that all things work together for good to them that love God. Therefore, never allow odd season to dim your oil of worship. Let’s continue to praise God in every season because He remains faithful through it all. As you worship Him continually, He will strengthen your heart, guide your steps, and bring beauty out of every season of your life, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer Point:
Oh Lord, help me to worship You faithfully in every season of my life and let my heart remain steadfast in Your love and goodness, in Jesus’ name.

Action Quote: Friends, true worship is revealed not only in seasons of joy but also in moments when faith chooses to praise God through every challenge.

Text: James 1:5 (KJV) 
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Friends, we live in the world full of noise, yet lacking clarity. Yes, we are overwhelmed with choices, opinions, and uncertainty, but we are not called to into confusion rather to carry divine wisdom. It is not based on human understanding; it flows from God Himself. It gives direction when others are lost, peace when others panic, and clarity when situations seem complicated. Even Daniel in a foreign and complex system, he was able to interpret dreams, solve problems, and give direction because God’s wisdom was at work in him. Divine wisdom sets you apart as it makes you a light in dark places and a voice of reason in chaotic moments. When you depend on God daily, He equips you with insight that goes beyond your natural ability. Ecclesiastes 8:1 (KJV) Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed

Amazingly, in your decisions, your conversations, and your plans, let us choose to seek God’s wisdom in all. Do not rely solely on what you see or feel but ask God for the way out. Proverbs 3:5–6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” You need trust. You may not always understand the process, but allow the bigger picture with God as you acknowledge Him. He orders your steps and keeps you away from costly mistakes.  We shall become a solution carrier in a confused world. I pray that people will come to you for counsel, not because of who you are, but because of what you carry in Jesus name.

Prayer Point:
Faithful father, fill me with Your divine wisdom and guide my decisions today so I will not walk in confusion, in Jesus name.

Action Quote: Friends, when you carry God’s wisdom, you will always have direction even in a confused world.

Text: Daniel 6:3 (KJV)
Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

Friends, there is something undeniable about a life that carries the Spirit of God as it cannot be hidden. Just like Daniel, when God’s Spirit is at work in you, it produces excellence that speaks louder than words. It shows in how you think, how you respond under pressure, and how you handle responsibility. This kind of excellence is not about perfection, but about consistency, integrity, and dependence on God. Proverbs 22:29 A man diligent in his business… shall stand before kings. Even in a foreign land, Daniel stood out, not because he tried to impress men, but because he was aligned with God. The truth is, when God places His Spirit within you, people will notice something different. You become a solution where others see problems. You carry wisdom where others are confused. Your life begins to answer questions that people cannot explain. Remember, excellence is not striving; it is flowing from the Spirit of God within you. So, do not shrink yourself to fit into average standards. You are called to stand out, not for pride, but for purpose. Daniel 4:9 (KJV) says: O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.

Amazingly, in this new day, choose to walk in that spirit of excellence. Let your decisions, your discipline, and your devotion reflect God’s nature in you. And as the day unfolds, trust that God will position you where your gift will be recognized and needed. Yes, you will not be ignored just like Daniel but you will be remembered, sought after, and lifted. Colossians 3:23 says, “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” Remember, your excellence is first unto God before it is seen by people. When you work, serve, speak, or lead, do it with the awareness that God is your audience. That mindset will transform ordinary actions into extraordinary impact today in Jesus name.

Prayer Point:
Oh Lord, fill me afresh with Your Spirit and let the spirit of excellence be evident in all I do today, in Jesus name.

Action Quote: Friends, let your life speak excellence because when God is in you, it cannot be hidden.

Text: Luke 10:19(KJV)

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Friends, we cannot enjoy a walk with spiritual authority without our knowledge of who we are in Christ and yield our vessels to God. So, as we surrender to Him, we are clothed and rooted in the identity of Christ. Therefore, when we begin to stand on God’s word with confidence it is what releases His power and authority over the storm. Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Hence, God’s word is our legal ground which we receive as we are led by His Spirit through obedience and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit.  Our faith in God enforces what Christ has won which gives us spiritual authority over situations. Howbeit, authority flows from our intimacy with God. So, the more we walk in obedience, submission, and faith, the more clearly His authority is expressed through our lives, daily. 1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD

Surprisingly, we don’t strive to earn this authority rather it is a gift already given through Christ. When Jesus rose from the dead, He stripped the enemy of power and delegated His authority to those who believe in Him.  Mathew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. To walk with spiritual authority is to live daily with an awareness of who you are in Christ and whose name you carry that makes us to exercise such divine authority over darkness. I pray we shall no longer stand at the point of fear and uncertainty but walk in spiritual authority daily in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

Oh Lord, grant me access to this authority as I live and speak with confidence, knowing God backs His Word and His promises in every situation in Jesus name

ACTION QUOTE: Remember to walk in the authority Christ has given me as I stand firm to advance God’s purpose.

Text: Hebrews 11:1(KJV)

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 

Congratulations and Happy New Year - 2026

Friends, we must recognize that life often requires our moving forward without seeing the full picture of the future. It takes faith to bridge the gap between where you are and the unseen. Yes, God calls us to trust Him even when the path is unclear, the outcome can be uncertain, or the journey feels long, but we are expected to also trust Him. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 - In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.  Hence, faith is not believing in what we see rather it is believing in the God we cannot see who is originator. Therefore, trusting God for the unseen means releasing our control and resting in His promises that cannot fail. For instance, Abraham obeyed God’s call to go to a land he had never seen because there is an assurance of peace and joy as we trust God. Isaiah 55:8–9 - For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD

Interestingly, even when circumstances suggest doubt or fear, the unseen hand of God is at work behind the scene even to the details. Psalm 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart.  So, our responsibility is to trust and obey God and His own responsibility is to deliver His promise at the appointment time. Stop arguing his schedule. But, we must remember that the unseen plan of God is always for good and not evil as His timing is always perfect no matter the delayed season. I pray God will help us to act in faith by meditating on God’s promises through His word in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT: 

Father, help me to remind myself of God’s faithfulness that He has shown in the past even when the full path at the moment is not visible in Jesus name. 

ACTION QUOTE: Remember to silence fears as to focus on Him for the unseen not minding the storms.

Text: Isaiah 40:29-31(KJV)

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Congratulations and Happy New Year - 2026

Friends, we cannot rely on human strength alone for the journey ahead of us. There are moments of uncertainties and weariness when our physical strength has limitation because every journey either spiritual, emotional, or physical require divine energy. Yes, we can see challenges but there is an assurance for the power of God which is here to lift us up at those discouraging hours ahead of the year. He is promising strength for every step, so we cannot wait for our strength to run out because His strength is available and sufficient. Ephesians 6:10 - Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. We are not relying on last year’s strength rather He offers fresh strength for a new beginning today. So, in that distressed and exhausted moments ahead, we are drawing and leaning on the strength of God. Relax, His grace is sufficient in our weakness for spiritual growth and unending peace. There is strength for today, courage for tomorrow and boldness for the future. Joshua 1:9 - Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Interestingly, we should form the habit of waiting on the Lord as He is not inactive rather we should absolutely trust in Him. Despite the overwhelming trails and opposition moments, let remember there is grace for new start.  2Cori. 12:9 - And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Hence, we can lean on Him through prayer, worship, and obedience, He renews our inner strength and equips us to continue moving forward through His Word. The goodnews this morning is that, you may not feel strong, but God’s power is perfected in your weakness all through the year as we fix our eyes on Him in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT: 

Oh Lord may Your strength remain most evident when our own strength is exhausted as we journey through the year 2026 in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember to come unto Him with your labour and heavy burden as to receive His own rest. 

Text: Colossians 1:27(KJV)

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Friends, the powerful truths remains that the Christ that we know by faith as Christians is actually in us for glory. When we accept Him as our Lord, His Spirit dwells in us to outshine darkness as He is light. It is a great mystery that shows when you carry Him as He cannot be hidden. The evidence can be visible and tangible with glory and not shame that is expressed daily in our actions. Galatians 2:20 - I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. Hence, our hope of glory is not based on circumstances, achievements, or background, but on the indwelling presence of Jesus. So, we should live with this assurance that our future is full of glory and beauty. Ultimately, He provides the wisdom for decisions, power to overcome sin, and peace in the midst of trials. Therefore, Christ living in us is the source of spiritual growth, love, and the hope of eternal glory as we are no longer defined by our past which limits us. 1 John 4:4 - Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

Amazingly, His indwelling Spirit is the very presence of God in our hearts, guiding, empowering, and transforming us from the inside out. So, as we live and move in our everyday activities, we walk by the glory that is in Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:21 - For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. This means having Christ makes us not to be alone or empty but we are wrapped with His wisdom and glory which shapes our decisions. Remember. this hope of our glory is not a distant dream rather an instant experience the moment we accept Jesus into our lives. Hence, we rely on His strength rather than our own in times of challenge as we acknowledge Him and meditate on scriptures daily, in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

Lord Jesus, thank You for dwelling in my heart and may my decision align with God’s will for eternal rest in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, Christ in you is the greatest treasure, the source of hope, power, and eternal life.

Text: Romans 5:8(KJV)

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Friends, the love of God was made manifest as Jesus revealed the Father’s heart through His life, compassion, sacrifice, and resurrection. Hence, God’s love is not hidden, neither is it conditional. But, Jesus Christ clearly expressed this love in a practical way as He was sent to save man. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. So, every healing, every act of forgiveness, and every word of grace pointed to a love that restores what was lost. His love is not just a spoken word rather it is demonstrated in all areas of our lives. This is seen as He unfolds His redemptive package through our saviour Jesus. His love is not based on our perfection at all because he demonstrated this love while we were yet sinners. His revealed love gives us confidence that we are saved, accepted, and secure in Christ Jesus. 1 John 4:9-10 - In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Amazingly, the gift of His dear Son reveals His mercy and compassion towards humanity. Therefore, there is a call to respond as we yield in faith, gratitude, obedience, and love, today. We are invited to live from that love, not striving to earn it but allowing it to transform us daily. Ephesians 2:4-5 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) The love of God is not something you chase because it came by mercy as already revealed but ours is to embrace it, live in it, and share it everywhere. Like the woman caught in adultery, His love was revealed that brought about mercy and total restoration. I encourage us to yield our hearts by His revealed love this season as to experience total freedom from quilt and shame in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

Father help me to fully receive your love and live in its truth through Jesus Christ as He shapes my life this season in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember to allow His love guide your actions as it reflects through our daily lives.

Text: Colossians 2:16-17(KJV)

Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Friends, it is very common to be caught up in the celebrations, the lights, the gift, the entertainment, and traditional celebrations. They can pose as distractions if you are not intentional to maximize the Jesus in the season. So, we should not allow that to shift our focus from the central reason for the season which is JESUS Himself. Jesus is more than the lights, music, and festivities which has taken over most part of the society. He is not limited to a day, a month, or a season. Hence, His presence, love, and purpose extend all year round and to eternity.  Hebre13:8 - Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. The Christmas season points to Him that is why there is need for reflection before it is completely abused, as our relationship with Christ is not a seasonal adventure.

Amazingly, it should be life transforming season, as we live beyond the calendar and remain in a life of faith, gratitude and obedience to God. Psalm 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. We should enjoy continual reminder every day and not seasonal rather learn to place Him first as the main focus for the season. However, I encourage us to carry this attitude of prioritizing Christ over festivities and celebration, as our faith is not seasonal but daily faith engagement that brings about fulfillment of destiny in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

Lord Jesus, help me to see beyond the season and embrace Your love as my Savior that makes my life a reflection of His light in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember our daily devotion in worship and prayer shows that honoring Jesus is a lifestyle, not a seasonal activity.

Text: Isaiah 7:14(KJV)

Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel

Congratulations and Merry Christmas to everyone

Friends, the name Emmanuel is a promise as fulfilled in the birth of Jesus Christ. The gift - God with us is a practical reality that calls for celebration as it can be visible around us this Christmas season. The gift of Emmanuel reminds us that God is not distant but right by our side.  Hence, in every joy and trial, He is a very present help in time of trouble. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Yes, His presence changes our circumstances, strengthens our faith, and brings purpose and clear direction to our lives. So, receiving this gift is not merely a celebration of Christmas party rather it calls for daily acknowledgment that God is with us, guiding, comforting, and reigning in our hearts.

Interestingly, it is not just a title as God didn’t just send a messenger or a prophet; He sent Himself in human form to dwell among us, to experience life as we do, and to provide salvation, hope, and peace. John 14:27 - Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. So, let’s accept the gift Emmanuel just like the shepherds recognized God’s presence immediately as they responded in worship. I encourage us to open our hands as we receive this gift as to enjoy the peace, strength, guidance and eternity that lives us with unending joy in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

Lord Jesus, help us to fully embrace the gift of Emmanuel in our daily life and never to limit His presence in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember to acknowledge His presence as a daily gift loaded for life and godliness.

Text: Luke 1:7(KJV)

And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.

Friends, this profound truth should resound in our minds daily. The question is, have we truly made room for Jesus in our hearts? Yes, the birth of Jesus reveals that the Savior came, but there was no room for Him. The Inns were full, hearts were occupied, and lives were busy. That notwithstanding, yet heaven’s greatest gift arrived and was humbly laid in a manger. We should no longer consider only physical space rather examining our hearts and taking away worries, distraction and several other habits as we make space for His presence, His will and His reign in our lives, today. Mathew 6:33 - But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. This can be a reflection of hearts that is too busy, in that it did not recognize God’s visitation. Hence, Jesus does not force His way in. He stands at the door and knocks, patiently waiting for us to open. When we make room for Him, He brings peace, purpose, and transformation.

Amazingly, we can see that Mary made room through her obedience as she declared “be it according to thy word”.  Also, Joseph despite the betrayal he trusted God’s space over oppositions and forgave his brethren. However, we can leave everything today to encounter the king of the world, who is a gift to humanity. Revelation 3: 20 - Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. I encourage us to become sensitive for divine visitation as we make room for Jesus in our innermost being.  So, let’s make room for Jesus today as to enjoy inner peace and divine direction with a transformed character in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

Lord Jesus, I open my heart to You today as you remove every distraction, burden, and idol that competes with Your place in my life in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, it take a willing heart to always find room for Him.

Text: Isaiah 9:6(KJV)

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Friends, from the very beginning, God revealed His heart to redeem humanity by giving unto us His Son the Prince of Peace. So, God’s promise was not delayed, it was perfectly timed and delivered. Hence, the promise of a Saviour assures us that God does not abandon His people but He is ready to save us, daily. When humanity was helpless, God stepped in with His only begotten son. Galatians 3:16 - Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. And till today He is still a wonder to the world of turbulence by His saving grace. Therefore, Jesus came not just to save us from sin, but to restore our relationship with God, as He brings peace to troubled hearts, and offer eternal life through the everlasting father. Let’s start a fresh walk with Jesus as we reconcile with Him in this season of good tidings of great joy. Luke 2:10-11 - And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Amazingly, whatever you are facing like fear, guilt, uncertainty, we must not forget that God keeps to His promises. Remember, the same God who fulfilled the promise of a Saviour is faithful to fulfill every promise concerning your life no matter the current challenge. Genesis 3:15 - And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. However, all we need is to accept Him, believe Him and confess Him as our saviour today and we shall begin to enjoy the benefit of a saviour in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Jesus, the promised Saviour as you have been faithful across generations in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, God keeps His promises for our peace and hope of eternity. Cheer up!

Text: Proverbs 12:1(KJV)

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.

Friends, it is important that we become open, humble, and ready to learn rather than resist instructions. The scriptures emphasizes that God honors those who are pliable in spirit and eager to receive His instruction that is loving His knowledge. So, a willing and teachable heart is one that seeks God’s guidance, respond to correction as well as grow in wisdom and understanding. You cannot view correction as criticism rather an opportunity for growth. Proverbs 9:9 says, Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning. Therefore, this is what we must do to demonstrate that willingness to learn is a hallmark of spiritual maturity.

Amazingly, our willingness involves action that means responding promptly to God’s call, obeying His instructions, and surrendering personal preferences. According to Psalm 25:4-5 Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. This reflects a heart ready to listen and be molded by God’s will. Hence, it is a quick to hear attitude but slow to speak that align to God’s instruction. Therefore, with a teachable heart you are led rather than misled. So, you become wiser that brings about divine favour and unspeakable peace even in this season, in Jesus name

PRAYER POINT:

Heavenly father, cultivate in me a heart that is both willing and teachable as I apply humility to my life in Jesus name

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, you can accept correction and sought God’s guidance in every situation.

Text: Isaiah 6:8(KJV)

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!

Friends, throughout the scriptures we can see that God works powerfully through people who simply said “Yes” to Him. This is the heart that surrender in faith with practical obedience to God’s will. God does not call for latter time and not with delays or negotiation. So, a heart of Yes to God does not wait for perfect condition rather absolute trust on the wisdom of God. Isaiah encountered God and his willingness preceded his assignment. Remember, God is not primarily looking for ability, but availability. For instance, when God called Abraham, he obeyed without knowing the destination.  Hence, his “Yes” positioned him as the father of many nations. Psalm 40:8 - I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. Also, Mary the mother of Jesus, offered one of the clearest examples of a yielded heart when she said, “Be it unto me according to your word”. It is this willingness that ushers us to God’s fullness to our destiny. 1 Samuel 3:10 And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.

Amazing, when we form the habit of saying “Yes” to God it often requires letting go of fear, control, pride, or convenience. James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Therefore, a yes to God is a sign of spiritual maturity that will make one to choose obedience even when the cost is high. But, it is exciting to know that every Yes to God will lead one to growth and alignment to divine purpose. Let’s be encouraged that God is not looking for perfect people, but for a willing heart. I pray we shall be that willing heart today in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT: 

Oh Lord, align my heart with Your will as you remove every fear and help me to obey You fully and joyfully in Jesus name. 

ACTION QUOTE: Remember to give your “YES’ to God today.

Text: Hebrew 3:15(KJV)

While it is said, today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

Friends, God desires hearts that are soft before Him and not stubborn or defensive. Yes, yielding does not mean weakness rather it means strength under God’s authority. So, it is important that we are responsive, teachable and obedient to God. Ezekiel 36:26 - I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh It requires that we listen when God speaks and responds with humility of faith at all times. But a hardened heart resist God’s voice and rejects his loving corrections. And this makes one not to be sensitive to His leading.  Hence, let’s examine ourselves and the condition of our hearts with sincerity as God works through the flow into our hearts. Proverb 28:14 Blessed is the one who always trembles before God, but whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble.

Interestingly, as believers we need a yielded heart that put her trusts in God even when the path is unclear and obeys even when obedience is costly. This is possible as we continue to journey with God in this kingdom. Proverb 4:23 - Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. We should guide against a hardened heart like Pharaoh who despite witnessing God's mighty works he refused to yield to God’s command but King David though imperfect maintained a yielded heart that will make him cry out in prayers trusting God to create a clean heart in him. I pray we shall present a heart, ready and soft towards God daily as we restore deep intimacy with God and joy unspeakable in Jesus name.

Text: Acts 3:6(KJV)

Then Peter said, ‘Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk

Friends, there are simple and powerful words that can mark a turning point in the life of an individual. For instance the word “Rise Up and Walk” speaks about giving direction to his position for a progressive living. Yes, it was a loaded phrase. Psalm 107:20 - He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Though, this man was born lame with a limit but a word of instruction by faith gave strength to his ankle bones at the beautiful gate. We can see that God’s instruction is a command embedded with unending blessings but we need the right attitude to access the inheritance. Isaiah 60:1 - Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. So, he received more than alms for a new beginning as he is rising into new life through the name of Jesus.

Amazingly, he was living out what God has done as God’s power does not just change our condition but moves us to a new glory. Remember, faith is not complete until there is obedience as a response. Isaiah 35:6 - Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. Hence, he is rising up to leave the posture of defeat, fear, and limitation as he moves forwards in the new strength. So, let’s embrace Jesus, the giver of the command and the power to rise, walk, and live victoriously today, in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

Heavenly father, by the power in the name of Jesus I receive grace and strength to rise above every form of limitation as I walk into my divine purpose this season, in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, a step of obedience activates divine power.
