LIVE IN THE FULLNESS OF THE SPIRIT And Be Not Drunk With Wine, Wherein Is Excess; But Be Filled With The Spirit (Ephesians 5:18 KJV). Many have approached their walk with God as though spiritual effectiveness comes only through occasional moments of intense preparation. So, when they need to do something significant for God, they feel they must first “get ready” spiritually before they can function effectively. But that’s not the life the Lord Jesus demonstrated or mirrored for us. The Lord Jesus didn’t live from one spiritual emergency to another. He lived in uninterrupted fellowship with the Father. Prayer to Him wasn’t a burdensome “Preparation” because He needed to minister to people; it was His life. He didn’t have to suddenly withdraw to become spiritually fit each time a situation arose. He lived consistently filled with the Spirit, conscious of the Father’s indwelling presence and power at all times. This is the understanding the Apostle Paul conveys in Ephesians 5:18. The expression “Be Filled With The Spirit” in the Greek carries the idea of being constantly and continually filled with the Spirit. It’s not a one-time experience or an occasional encounter. It’s a way of life. Some have misunderstood certain portions of the book of Acts where the Bible records that the Apostles being filled with the Spirit, did something. For example, Acts 4:8 says, “Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said….” This doesn’t presume or suggest that Peter was empty at one moment and, because of an emergency, suddenly became filled with the Spirit. No. The apostles lived under the continuous influence and fullness of the Holy Spirit. Their lives were yielded to Him daily. This is the life God wants for every Christian. He doesn’t want you struggling spiritually today and trying to recover tomorrow. He wants you continually aflame with the Spirit, always sensitive to His guidance, always full of faith, wisdom, power, and divine consciousness. When you’re continually filled with the Spirit, you won’t panic when challenges arise. You’ll respond from a place of spiritual strength and dominion. How do you maintain this continual infilling? It’s through fellowship with the Word, praying in tongues, worship, and yielding yourself consciously to the Holy Spirit every day. Make it your desire to live constantly under His influence. That’s the higher life in Christ: a life of consistent victory, power, and unbroken fellowship with the Lord. Hallelujah!

Daily devotion for September 13th What's There To Live For? For the love of Christ controls us, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died. And he died for all, that those who live might live no longer for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 RSV Here again is the great motive in the life of the apostle--the love of Christ controls us. Actually, controls is a word that means constrains us, drives us out, motivates us, and then guides us after we get there, that sets the limits to what we should and should not do. That motive, he says, comes from the sense that Christ loves us. I do not know anything greater and more powerful as a motivating factor than that. I get terrified sometimes at what God can do to me if I do not behave. That motivates me sometimes. It is a low motivation, but it is there. But the thing that will get to me, when nothing else will, is the continuing experience of the love of Christ for me, a refreshment of spirit that I gain from the awareness that He loves me, He is for me, He stands beside me, He delights in me. Knowing that will move me like nothing else. That is what Paul is experiencing here--the awareness that God loves him. There is nothing like it. It gives him a sense of security, a sense of self-worth, and a good self-image. If you suffer from a bad image of yourself, then start thinking about what God says about you, how He loves you, and how Christ loves you and has given Himself to you, and that will change everything. He also says he has learned that the death of Christ freed him from the need to live for himself. I do not know anything more relevant to the current day than that statement. Everywhere I turn I hear people talking about what they have to do to meet their needs. Whatever they do or wherever they go is determined by how well their needs are met. You need to understand this important truth: Jesus Christ died to set you free from that syndrome. You do not need your needs met; He has already met them. You must learn that He has met your needs, because they will never be met by any other source. No one else is able to meet them. If you have that expectation of other people, you will find yourself suffering rejection at others' hands because they know they cannot meet your needs. One has died for all, and that means, all have died in order that they might understand that they live no longer for themselves. After Christ has met your needs, you discover that the secret to life as it ought to be lived is that you then turn and try to meet the needs of others. That is what Paul is saying here. He died for all, that those who live might live no longer for themselves, no longer with their needs at the center of their life, trying to build everything around them, but for him who for their sake died and was raised. Lord, reveal more and more of Your great love to me. Let Your love meet all of my needs, and set me free to live not for myself but for You.

*TODAY'S PROPHETIC DECLARATION - SUNDAY, 13TH SEPTEMBER, 2026.* 🌟*LET THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD GIVE THANKS!*🌟 ⛪ 15TH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY | 2ND SUNDAY IN SEPTEMBER 📖 SCRIPTURE: “Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.” — Psalm 107:8 & 32 (KJV). 🔥*REFLECTION — FROM DELIVERANCE TO TESTIMONY.* Psalm 107 is a powerful song of thanksgiving. It repeatedly tells the story of people who were in difficult situations, cried unto the Lord, and experienced His intervention. Again and again, we hear the same beautiful declaration: “Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!” This is the heart of testimony. A testimony is not simply the story of what happened to us. It is the story of what God did for us. There are things we survived because of God's mercy. There are doors that opened because of God's favour. There are battles we won because God stood with us. There are dangers we never knew about because God protected us. There are prayers He answered. There are tears He wiped away. There are needs He supplied. There are times He made a way where there seemed to be no way. And sometimes, we become so accustomed to God's blessings that we forget to stop and say: “THANK YOU, LORD!” Psalm 107 calls us to remember God's goodness and publicly acknowledge His wonderful works. Verse 32 says: “Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.” There is a time to pray privately, but there is also a time to testify publicly. There is a time to cry. There is a time to wait. But there is also a time to lift your voice and declare: “THE LORD HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME!” Perhaps you don't yet have everything you are praying for. But you have something to thank God for. You may still be waiting for one miracle, but don't forget the miracles you have already received. You may be believing God for a new door, but don't forget the doors He has already opened. You may still be praying for restoration, but don't forget the things He has already restored. 🔥 DON'T LET ONE UNANSWERED PRAYER MAKE YOU FORGET A THOUSAND ANSWERED PRAYERS. God's goodness deserves remembrance. His mercy deserves praise. His faithfulness deserves testimony. His protection deserves thanksgiving. His salvation deserves worship. His wonderful works deserve to be declared. And today, as the 15th Sunday after Trinity and the 2nd Sunday of September, may your heart overflow with gratitude. 🙌 YOUR TESTIMONY IS COMING! The same God who delivered the people in Psalm 107 is still able to deliver. The God who restores is still restoring. The God who provides is still providing. The God who opens doors is still opening doors. The God who answers prayer is still answering prayer. The God who has brought you this far will not abandon you. Therefore, remember His goodness, recount His works, and give Him praise. 🔥*PROPHETIC DECLARATION:* Today, I declare over my life: I WILL NOT BE SILENT ABOUT THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD! 🔥🙌 I declare that my life shall become a living testimony of God's faithfulness.

I will testify of His mercy. I will testify of His deliverance. I will testify of His provision. I will testify of His favour. I will testify of His wonderful works.

Lifeline Today Sunday September 13 Assurance of Divine Turnaround He replied, “As you know, the kingdom was rightfully mine; all Israel wanted me to be the next king. But the tables were turned, and the kingdom went to my brother, for it was his from the Lord.” 1Kings 2:15 (NLT) You can have absolute assurance that God can and will turn things around for you just as He did for Solomon, because God’s character, power, and covenant love have not changed. The same divine hand that shifted the kingdom to Solomon is actively working on your behalf today. Solomon’s turnaround was based on an earthly kingdom and a temporary throne. As a believer, your assurance is anchored in Jesus Christ, which gives you access to a "better covenant established on better promises" (Hebrews 8:6). You aren't just fighting for an earthly position; you are already an heir to the riches of God's grace. If God orchestrated political history to put Solomon on a throne, He will without doubt move heaven and earth to fulfill His destiny for your life. This is your day. Wisdom Fountain: “A divine turnaround happens when God steps into a hard situation and changes it past scientific or logical explanation.” Prayer: Father Lord God, fill me afresh with the power of Your Spirit to change my story. Open doors that were closed against me and remove every obstacle in my way. Turn my sorrow into joy and my mourning into dancing and restore everything I have lost. I receive peace, strength, and a fresh start in Jesus' name.

Like a Tree Planted by the Rivers of Water The location of planting determines the long-term condition of the tree. A tree planted next to an inexhaustible water source does not suffer during drought as much as one planted on a dry hillside. The "rivers of water" signify divine sustenance, the Word of God, which the preceding verses describe as the delight of the blessed person who meditates on it day and night. The one who meditates on the Word is a tree planted by the river. Its roots run deep into the streams of divine truth, and from those roots, the tree's visible life- its fruit, its leaves, its stability- is sustained. Notice the comprehensive promise: "whatever he does shall prosper." Not some things, not only the religious things, but whatever. Business, family, ministry, relationships, creative endeavours; all of it falls under the prospering hand of God when the root system is deep in the Word. Press forward as a tree planted by rivers: deep-rooted, consistently fruitful, and permanently green in every season. PRAYER: Gracious Heavenly Father, plant me deep beside Your rivers. Let the roots of my life sink into Your Word so that my fruit, stability, and prosperity are all drawn from the inexhaustible supply of Your presence. In the name of Jesus Christ! Amen!

THANKS 🙏 LESSON: 1 CHRONICLES 4:9-10 🔥TOPIC: GOD, CHANGE MY ALGORITHM 📖 TEXT: “And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he required 1 CHRONICLES 4:9–10. (NKJV) INTRODUCTION: An algorithm is a system that follows patterns and instructions to determine what happens next. In today's digital world, what you repeatedly watch, search for, or interact with can influence what keeps appearing on your screen. Life can sometimes feel the same way. You experience one disappointment after another, one delay after another, one failed opportunity after another, and you begin to wonder, “Why does this keep happening?” Today, we are looking at Jabez, a man who refused to allow a painful beginning to determine his entire story.His prayer was essentially: “Lord, change my pattern. Change my story. Change my trajectory.”. And that is our prayer today: “GOD, CHANGE MY ALGORITHM!”. Be immensely blessed by the word in Jesus powerful name . EXPOSITION 1. 🔥 RECOGNIZE THE PATTERN THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE: The Bible says in 1 Chronicles 4:9: “And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow.” Jabez had a painful beginning. Even his name carried the memory of sorrow. But notice something important: his beginning was painful, but his character was honourable. This teaches us that your circumstances may describe what you have been through, but they do not necessarily describe who you are. Sometimes, what we need to confront is not one particular problem but a recurring pattern. You keep starting but never finishing. You keep getting close to breakthrough and then encountering another obstacle. You keep entering relationships that end in disappointment. You keep making progress and somehow returning to the same place. You keep asking yourself, “Why me?” Beloved, there comes a time when we must stop merely complaining about the pattern and begin asking God for wisdom concerning the pattern. What keeps repeating in my life? What needs to change? And let me make this clear: not every repeated difficulty is caused by a spiritual force. Sometimes the pattern may involve our decisions, habits, environment, relationships, or lack of wisdom. That is why we need God. Because sometimes God changes the situation, and sometimes God changes us so that we can stop producing the same result. Jabez recognized that his story needed divine intervention. And he called upon God. You cannot change a pattern you refuse to recognize. EXPOSITION 2: 🔥DON'T ALLOW YOUR HISTORY TO PROGRAM YOUR FUTURE. Jabez's name was connected to sorrow. Imagine growing up with a name that constantly reminded you of pain. But Jabez refused to let the meaning of his name become the meaning of his entire life. This is where the message becomes personal. Some people are still allowing yesterday to program tomorrow. Because you failed before, you believe you will always fail. Because somebody rejected you, you believe nobody will ever accept you. Because one business failed, you believe you can never succeed. Because you experienced disappointment, you have stopped expecting good things. But hear this: Your past may explain where you came from, but it does not have the authority to determine where God is taking you. The enemy wants you to look backward and conclude that nothing can change. But God specializes in new beginnings. Isaiah 43:19 says: “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth...” God can introduce a new thing into an old story. And sometimes the algorithm that needs to change is not around you. It is inside you. God may need to change your thinking. Change your expectations. Change your associations. Change your priorities. Change your approach. Change the way you respond to disappointment. Romans 12:2 tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Because when your mind changes, your perspective changes. When your perspective changes, your decisions can change. And when your decisions change, your direction can change. Don't let yesterday become the software controlling tomorrow. You are not condemned to repeat every chapter you have already lived. EXPOSITION 3: 🔥 CALL ON GOD TO WRITE A NEW PATTERN: Now Jabez did something that changed everything. He prayed. He said: “Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast...” Jabez didn't simply ask God to remove his problems. He asked God to change the trajectory of his life. He asked for God's blessing. He asked for enlargement. Then he said: “...and that thine hand might be with me...”. This is powerful. Jabez understood that he didn't just need more. He needed God's hand. Because more money without God's wisdom can create more problems. More opportunities without God's direction can take you into the wrong place. More influence without character can destroy a person. So Jabez prayed: “Lord, let Your hand be with me.” Then he asked: “...keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me.” In other words: “Lord, don't just change what I see. Change what surrounds me. Protect me from what can destroy the blessing You are giving me.” And then comes the beautiful conclusion: “And God granted him that which he requested.” What a testimony! Jabez's story did not end according to the pain of his beginning. Prayer interrupted the pattern. Beloved, that is why you must never underestimate the power of calling upon God. When you don't know what to change, ask God. When you don't know where to turn, ask God. When the same problem keeps appearing, ask God for wisdom. When you have tried everything you know and still cannot see a way forward, call upon the Lord. Your prayer today can be: “Lord, change my algorithm!” Change the cycle. Change my thinking. Change my direction. Change my relationships. Change my decisions. Change my opportunities. Change whatever needs to change so that my life can align with Your purpose… And above everything else: “Let Your hand be upon me.” 🎯 CONCLUSION: 🔥 GIVE ME A NEW BEGINNING TODAY 🔥: Beloved, Jabez teaches us one powerful lesson, A painful beginning does not require a painful ending. You may have experienced the same pattern for years, but that does not mean it must continue forever. God can give you a new beginning. So today, don't simply say, “This is my life.” Call upon God. Say, “Lord, change my algorithm!”. Let my next season not be a repetition of my last season. Let my story change. Let my direction change. Let my testimony change. And let everything bring glory to God. Amen. 🙏🔥 PROPHETIC PRAYER: Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I pray for everyone receiving this Word. Lord, change their algorithm! Break every negative cycle that has continued from season to season. Where there has been repeated disappointment, release a new testimony. Where there has been stagnation, release divine movement. Where there has been confusion, release wisdom and direction. Where wrong relationships have brought pain, give divine discernment and healthy connections. Where repeated mistakes have produced repeated results, give the grace to make better decisions. Father, renew their minds and redirect their steps. Close every door that is not aligned with Your purpose and open the doors You have ordained for them. Let their next season not be a repetition of their last season. Change the pattern. Change the direction. Change the story. Let there be undeniable evidence that You have heard their prayer. Just as You answered Jabez, let somebody testify: “I called upon the Lord, and God changed my story!” In Jesus' mighty name, Amen! 💌 PROPHETIC DECLARATION. May the Lord change every negative pattern working against your peace, progress and purpose. May He turn your sorrow into testimony, your delay into divine timing, and your disappointment into celebration. May your next chapter be greater than your previous chapter. And may your testimony be:“God changed my algorithm, and He changed my story!” In Jesus' POWERFUL name, Amen. HAPPY WONDERFUL SUNDAY, HAVE A PROFITABLE WEEK. LIKE IT OR NOT!

Heavenly Father, This beautiful Sunday morning, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude. Thank You for the gift of life. Thank You for preserving me , my family, my friends and familes around the world, throughout the night and allowing me to see another glorious day. Lord, I thank You for Your mercy, Your grace, Your protection, and Your faithfulness over my life and my family. Thank You for the battles You fought for me that I did not even know about. As I enter this new day, I declare: This is the day that the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it. 📖 Psalm 5:3 "My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up." Lamentations 3:22–23 "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness." My Meditation. Every new morning is evidence that God has not finished with me. His mercy has brought me this far, and His grace will carry me forward. Today, I refuse to be discouraged. I refuse to be afraid. I refuse to allow yesterday's challenges to control today's joy. My God is still on the throne, and my story is not over. MY PERSONAL SUPPLICATIONS. You can also turn this to your own personal Supplications, were you seeing me, you add yourself. 1. Prayer for Mercy over me. Father, have mercy upon me in every area where I have fallen short of Your glory. Forgive my sins and cleanse my heart. Remove every burden of guilt and give me the grace to walk in righteousness. Lord, let Your mercy speak for me today. 2. Prayer for Divine Direction Father, direct my steps today and throughout this new week. Let me not make decisions that will take me away from Your purpose. Show me where to go, what to do, and the people I should connect with. Lord, order my steps and establish me in Your perfect will. 3. Prayer for My Life and Destiny Father, I commit my life and destiny into Your hands. Every good plan You have for me shall come to pass. Every delay shall turn into divine acceleration. Every disappointment shall become an appointment with destiny. I shall not die before my time. I shall fulfill my destiny in Jesus' name. 4. Prayer for My Family Lord, I commit my family into Your mighty hands. Let there be peace, love, unity, healing, and progress among us. Every spirit of misunderstanding, division, violence, and hatred shall have no place in my family. Lord, make my family a family of peace and testimony. 5. Prayer for Financial Breakthrough Father, bless the work of my hands. Open doors of opportunities for me. Deliver me from financial struggles and grant me wisdom, favour, and legitimate opportunities to prosper. I shall not beg for bread. The Lord shall supply my needs and establish me financially. 6.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: SUNDAY 13TH SEPTEMBER 2026 TOPIC: PRIDE COMES BEFORE A FALL, PART 1 MEMORIZE: "The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts." Psalm 10:4 (KJV) BIBLE READING: DANIEL 4:29-37 29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon. 30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty? 31 While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee. 32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. 33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws. 34 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation: 35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou? 36 At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me. 37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase. MESSAGE: God made Nebuchadnezzar a great king, but pride entered into his heart, and he began to parade himself as a self-made man. God admonished him to be careful and make his way right (Daniel 4:1-27), but he didn’t heed the counsel. He woke up one morning and began to boast, “Look at the empire I have built; see how far my wisdom and understanding have brought me.” God looked at him from heaven and said, “Alright, mighty king, I am removing you from your kingdom. Go and join the animals in the field for seven years. Eat with them, and look like them, then we will know who is really in charge.” Immediately, the king lost his senses and joined the animals in the field. After seven years, however, the merciful God restored his senses, and he praised the most High God. And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation: Daniel 4:34 As soon as he acknowledged the Most High as the One with all dominion and authority, the glory of his kingdom was restored to him. At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me. Daniel 4:36 Romans 1:28 says that because some people chose not to retain God in their knowledge, He gave them over to a reprobate mind to do things which are not convenient. When people refuse to acknowledge God’s power, might, and authority over all of creation, they begin to act like animals or even worse. For example, in recent times, we have seen men who call themselves women and have even gone as far as surgically removing their private parts so that they can appear as women, and some women doing likewise. People who engage in such depraved behaviour have failed to retain God in their knowledge and have been giver over to reprobate minds. Beloved, acknowledge God in all your ways and shun pride. Those who allow pride in any form into their hearts are only giving the devil a chance to destroy them. KEY POINT: Pride debases people and makes them think and act like animals. BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR: DANIEL 9-12 AUTHOR PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE HYMNAL 18: PRAISE TO THE LORD THE ALMIGHTY 1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty the king of creation; O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation; all ye who hear, brothers and sister draw near, praise Him in glad adoration. 2. Praise to the Lord, who doth proper thy work and defend thee; surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee; ponder anew what the Almighty can do if with His love He befriend thee. 3. Praise to the Lord, who, when tempest their warfare are waging who, when the elements madly around Thee are ranging, biddeth them cease, turneth their fury to peace, whirlwinds and waters assuaging. 4. Praise to the Lord, who when darkness and sin is abounding who, when the godless do triumph, all virtue confounding, Sheddeth His light, chaseth the horrors of night, saints with His mercy surrounding. 5. Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore Him! All that hath life and breath come now with praises before Him! Let the amen sound from his people again; gladly for aye we adore him.

The part of Psalm 32:8 I tend to hear is, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go.” I hear that and start looking for a map. But the verse continues: “I will counsel you with My eye upon you.” A map can be handed over and carried alone. His eye upon me means He stays close. “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom” settles who gets the final say. And “lean not on your own understanding” doesn’t mean I stop thinking. It means I don’t put all my weight on what I can see. So I pray, stay in His Word, and take the step in front of me. There are steps I took years ago I’m still not completely certain about. He rarely hands me the whole road. He asks me to walk it with Him.

Devotion: Galatians 3:26-27 “But the scripture says that the whole world is under the power of sin; and so the gift which is promised on the basis of faith in Jesus Christ is given to those who believe. But before the time of faith came, the Law kept us all locked up as prisoners until this coming faith should be revealed. And so the Law was in charge of us until Christ came, in order that we might then be put right with God through faith. Now that the time of faith is here, the Law is no longer in charge of us. It is through faith that all of you are God’s children in union with Christ Jesus.” We are all sinners. Romans 3:23: “everyone has sinned and is far away from God’s saving presence.” If we were all pure of heart there would have been no purpose or reason for Jesus to come to earth in the first place. We needed salvation! We know the rules, through the Law written and handed over to Moses thousands of years ago. The difference between right and wrong is no big secret; it is but a matter of choice. Yet we always manage to make the WRONG decision and we end up in sin alley with a whole lot of baggage – pain, depression, loneliness, abandonment, sorrow, all the baddies. Then we sit in wonder that things turned out as it did. You, human, are responsible for your own life and your own choices. God gave us free will, after all. But if you make mistakes and blame it on an inhumane God, you are wrong. God does not punish us, He guides us and His guidance can, at times, be a painful process. The problem is that we, as humans, are always so dead set on getting OUR OWN WAY that we lose focus and forget God’s plan and purpose for us. Once you make the seemingly insane decision of following the lead of an invisible God (yes, your pals will have a good laugh at that) you will notice that things start to fall into place. You see, we were not just born by accident. We were placed here, in this temporary home for a specific purpose and once you understand your purpose and follow God’s will, your life will be more peaceful, less anxious. Why? Because you’ll know God is in control. Now, how do you know what God wants from me? You study His Word, you listen to His voice in your heart (that conscience you so abruptly shrugged off in the old days), you bring each decision to Him in prayer and you will receive an answer if you are patient and if you are listening well. 2 Peter 3:9: “The Lord is not slow to do what he has promised, as some think. Instead, he is patient with you, …” God speaks to you all the time; you just seem to NOT notice the signs at all. Look for it, listen for it…He is always near. Remember, no matter what happens, or what sins you committed, God will forgive you through Jesus Christ who died on the cross just for that purpose – to release us from the stronghold of sin. He doesn’t want you to be lost, He sent His Son so you can be saved. 2 Peter 3:9: “…because he does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants all to turn away from their sins.” Are you still a prisoner of the Law or are you free through the blood of Jesus Christ? More reading: Acts 16:31, Romans 10:9, 1 John 5:1-21 Prayer: Father, we are humbling ourselves today in Your presence. We have been fools, stubbornly trying to carve out our own path. We are still prisoners of the Law. Help us then, Lord, to listen to Your voice. Open our hearts and minds so that Your will can be done in our lives. Thank you for granting us forgiveness. Thank you for accepting us as Your children. Amen. Would you like to share your testimony, need prayer or would like to talk to our counselors?
