Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* SATURDAY 10TH OCTOBER, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* BENEFITS OF GRACE. *TOPIC:* SONSHIP. *TEXTS:* JOHN 1:12-13, 1 JOHN 3:1-2. *JOHN 1:12-13.* 12 However, to all who received Him, those believing in His name, He gave authority to become God’s children, Isa 56:5 Rom 8:15 Gal 3:26 2Pe 1:4 1Jn 3:1 [Gal 4:5] [1Jn 3:2] [1Jn 5:1] 13 who were born, not merely in a genetic sense, nor from lust, nor from man’s desire, but from the will of God. [1Co 15:50] *1 JOHN 3:1-2.* 1 See what kind of love the Father has given us: We are called God’s children—and that is what we are! For this reason the world does not recognize us, because it did not recognize Him, either. Joh 1:12 [Rom 8:18] 2 Dear friends, we are now God’s children, but what we will be like has not been revealed yet. We know that when the Messiah is revealed, we will be like Him, because we will see Him as He is. Isa 56:5 Mat 5:12 Joh 1:12 Rom 8:15 Rom 8:18 2Co 4:17 Gal 3:26 Gal 4:6 Phi 3:21 Col 3:4 [Mat 22:30] [Mar 12:25] [Luk 20:36] [1Jn 2:28] *TOPIC:* SONSHIP. *THE MESSAGE:* Through Christ Jesus, believers become sons of God. This is a position of honour because they are now: (i) partakers in the divine nature, receiving a new identity and character, (ii) heirs of God's promises, inheriting eternal life, and (iii) enabled to experience intimate fellowship with God. What a great love He lavished on us that we should be called His children to enjoy all the privileges duly belonging to the heirs. In addition, when Christ appears, we shall see Him as He is and be like Him with an incorruptible immortal body. What a privilege! Are you a member of God's family? If not, believe in Jesus and live as a bona fide child who knows their rights and privileges in the household. *REFLECTION:* Are you a child of God? *PRAYER:* Thank You, Father, for accepting me to be Your child. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* TITUS 2:11. For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* MARK 1-3. ED.ii. GOD WANTS TO HELP YOU "People of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious He will be when you cry for help! As soon as He hears, He will answer you." - Isaiah 30:19 This Scripture says that the Lord will help us when we call to Him. When difficulties arise, people either go away from God or to God. When there are problems, when there is a catastrophe, such as during the Second World War, the churches are full again and people start to pray. However, it is does not necessarily mean that difficulties will always bring people closer to God. On the contrary, it may well be that a person hardens his or her heart, just like King Ahab did. 'Ahab did more to arouse the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, than did all the kings of Israel before him' (1 Kings 16:33). Do not forget to consult God People try to find all kinds of solutions to their problems, but God is not seen as one of the options. So-called Christians visit and participate in paranormal conferences. Many Christians - and also the government - forget to consult God. They make plans and take their own decisions. However, God cannot help us unless we first ask Him for advice. If you do not go to the living God with your plans, you are building your house on sand. When a storm comes, your house will be blown away. If you are in such a state, if you are disappointed and keep thinking about what happened, do what the prodigal son did. He decided to go to his father, who welcomed him with open arms. The Lord Jesus wants to bless you. He wants to heal you and take you out of your difficulties. He is ready to help you with open arms. https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if [there be any] wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. ⏤ Psalm 139:23-24 God delights to answer the prayer of faith. ⏤ Samuel Chadwick Dear heavenly Father, our hearts are filled with gratitude tonight as we think about how wisely You’ve led us this week. It’s been a week full of loving-kindness and tender mercy. You’ve walked with us every day and guarded us every night. You’ve brought us many blessings that will make this week bright in our memory. We’ve met new friends, read new books, had prayers answered, and found new joys. For all these things, we are very grateful. Look over the record of this week, which is now laid out before You. You see the spots and stains—things we did that we shouldn’t have, and things we left undone that we should have done. Speak forgiveness to our hearts. We also ask for the grace to make the coming week better than this one. We can’t change the past, but we want to make the most of what’s left. Prepare us for the Lord’s Day, and may Sunday prepare us for the new week. Let Your Word search our hearts and reveal anything that’s not right—then make us clean. Tonight, we pray for Your ministers who are preparing for tomorrow’s work. Fill them with Your Spirit, and lead them to the truth they need to share with Your people. Give them messages that bring life, peace, and comfort. Teach them what You want them to say. Hold them close to Your heart tonight so they’ll be ready for their sacred work. Give them empathy, so they can connect with those they’ll serve. Baptize them with a sense of human need, so they can truly help those who are hungry for the bread of life. We ask all this in Jesus' precious name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/06/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🎀💝🎁🌺🌹MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. SATURDAY OCTOBER 10, 2O26. "JOB'S CREED (2)" ‘…This I know…I shall see God.’ Job 19:26 NKJV JOB ENDS his creed by saying, ‘After my skin is destroyed, this I know, that in my flesh I shall see God.’ When Christ returns, your body which sleeps in the grave will be replaced with a glorious Christ-like body. And then the promise of God’s Word will be fulfilled: ‘Your dead shall live; together with my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust…’ (Isaiah 26:19 NKJV). Of all the religions on earth, Christianity is the only one that guarantees the resurrection of your body. And that’s because Christ, our leader, was the only one capable of promising to rise from the dead bodily, and keeping that promise. Rejoice, when they lay you in your grave it will not be the last of you. Paul writes: ‘…I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality…then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: ‘Death is swallowed up in victory’’’ (1 Corinthians 15:51-54 NKJV). In that day faith will give way to sight. When a little boy’s kite flew so high it went out of sight, a man standing nearby asked him, ‘How do you know it’s still up there, son?’ Tightening his grip on the string, he replied, ‘Because I feel the tug!’ Do you feel something tugging you heavenward?

He spoke about the love of Jesus who willingly offered His life on the Cross for our sins. The girl's heart was deeply touched by what she heard. She had no money, so it seemed as though she had nothing to give to the Lord. Then, she thought of a gift that would please God very much. When the usher passed the offering plate, she whispered to him, "Please lower the offering plate." He lowered it. She kept requesting the plate to be lowered until it reached the floor. Then, she stepped into the offering plate and stood in it. She was giving the Lord the very best gift she could ever afford. She was giving herself to the Lord!* *Like the Levites in today's text, believers are to give their best as hallowed gifts to the Lord. As a song writer, Howard Benjamin Grose captured it in a hymn:* _*"Give of your best to the Master;*_ _*Give of the strength of your youth;*_ _*Throw your soul's fresh, glowing ardour;*_ _*Into the battle for truth."*_ *Believers are to offer their best unto the Lord. Jesus proved His love by giving us the best - His life.* *We must give Him our all - heart, life, time, talents and treasures. This can be done through total obedience to His words; we must preach the gospel, share His love, and be devoted and consecrated, teach, model and mentor the old and young until Christ is formed in them. Then, you will experience more of His transforming and satisfying love.* *As recipients of God's covenant grace and mercies, there should be no limit to what we render to our God. We must give our all, our very best and lay them on the altar unconditionally. Giving to Him must be sacrificial, wholesome, exciting and free. We must see it as a privilege reserved for those who truly appreciate the uncommon gesture of God in giving up His only begotten Son that we may be partakers of all things.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*True fulfilment consists in giving all and serving the Lord wholeheartedly.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *LUKE 20-21*📜📜 Only The Best https://dailymanna.app// *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna10thOctober2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [09/10, 7:42 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```SATURDAY 10TH OCTOBER, 2026``` *TOUGH JOB FOR THE TOUGH - 3* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️💪🏽🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽🙌🏽 📜📜```TEXT:1 SAMUEL 17:42-51```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field" (1 SAMUEL 17:44).*_ *David had a formidable and boastful enemy to fight, but he had no reason to panic before him because he was not a weakling but a tough-minded child of God.

The boy grew up to become an armed robber, and was caught and convicted by the court. When he was about to be executed for his crime, he requested to whisper a message into his mother's ear. In the process, the condemned criminal grabbed his mother's ear with his teeth and bit it off, claiming that she failed to correct his misdeeds from his childhood days and had led him to die in shame. Many children always feel very unhappy when they are corrected by their parents. Some children would pull the shoulders, murmuring and grumbling in rebellion to their parents' correction. Such attitudes are evil in the sight of God. Parents are commanded by God to lovingly but firmly correct their children when they are wrong, and train them up in the way of the Lord. It is evil to call for the arrest of your parents because they lovingly and firmly corrected you for your wrong doings. In 1 Samuel chapters 3 and 4, there was the story of a father called Eli who was not firm in correcting his two unruly and sinful sons. God was very unhappy with them. Therefore, both himself and his two sons perished on the same day. *Always give thanks to God for giving you such parents who lovingly and firmly correct you when you are wrong, and train you in the way of the Lord. Also, appreciate, love, respect and obey your parents always. This is the sure way to enjoy the blessings of God.* 🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥 ```🅿️rayer:``` _*Dear God, I thank You for giving me such loving parents who correct me when I am wrong.

No good action of any man would go unrewarded and when those things are done for the sake of God, the reward would always be in multiple folds and at times eternal. This shows the nature of God as someone who appreciates little things done by men and as someone who faithfully rewards His servants. The text shows the reward system for temple servants, who we can call workers in the Christian setting. Our service to God is never in vain when rendered with a sincere heart. *1. Believers' Reward for Sustenance* a. Aaron and his seed, including the Levites, were commanded not to have any landed property in Israel. It is curious that this commandment was given after the rebellion of Dathan, Korah and Abiram for which the ground splitted open and consumed them. The thought of making material gain through priesthood might have been unspoken motivation that moved them to rebel against priestly office and Aaron. God decided to address the tendency towards this ministerial greed. God demanded consecration from His chosen temple servants and that they should not be chasing material wealth like those who are not called to the service of God. Seeking wealth in an ungodly way and seeking for impactful service to God don't mix. There must be a priority and a choice. *"For they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts which drown many unto perdition"* (1Timothy 6:9). b. Those consecrated to the service of God will not be forgotten by God. God said of Aaron and the Levites, *"I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel"*. What does this mean? While other Israelites inherited lands, farms and houses, God was the inheritance of the Levites and Aaron, the Priest . That meant all that God had belonged to them and they could have access to them anytime the need arose. To the New Testament saints, this is the same as being joint heirs with Christ. All the kingdom blessings are at the disposal of the consecrated Christian. *"Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you"* (Matthew 6:33). It is blindness of the mind to think a life consecrated to God is a call to poverty and penury. Serving God is the greatest security any person can have in this life. All forms of earthly distractions should be minimized for the service of God. *"Having food and raiment , let us therewith be content"*. *Question* Are you trusting God as your ultimate source of provision while faithfully fulfilling the responsibility He has committed to you? *2. Basic Remittance for Servants* a. All the tithes of the children of Israel were to go to the Levites. The Levites were just a tribe in Israel. While the tithe was 10%, it was even more than 8% (1/12), which was the average revenue of a tribe in Israel. Thus, in reality, they gained more than what they could averagely have gotten if they were not serving God. This tithe was also called a wave or heave offering which were to be waved and surrendered to God in recognition of Him as the source of all blessings. God instructed the Levites to offer a tenth of the tithes they received to Him. The Levites were to pay tithes to God too. b. Paying tithes cuts across dispensations. It predated the Law of Moses. Both Abraham and Jacob gave tithes as part of worship (Genesis 14:20, 28:22). The text speaks about tithes during the time of the Law. The prophetic writings also emphasised that dodging tithes is a sin against God and there is a curse attached to it (Malachi 3:10-11). In the New Testament, Jesus was also positive about paying tithes as something that should not be left undone (Matthew 23:23). The New Testament does not put much emphasis on paying tithes not because it is optional, but because God expects more since Jesus gave us all. Those who preach against tithes end up not giving it to God at the end of the day. They end up playing economic smartness with God. Since the Bible commanded that we should give according to the proportion of what we have (1 Corinthians 16:1,2), what percentage do we use better than the 10% which should be the minimum or baseline for believers. Believers are to give abundantly beyond the Old Testament since Jesus gave us His all. The whole lesson is on the principle of giving. Your needs must not give you anxiety to the point of cutting corners with God who desires your love and sincerity. Ministers, Christian workers and all believers must practice faithful stewardship, giving to God willingly and managing His resources honestly since the resources actually belong to God. *Question* Are you faithfully returning to God what belongs to Him and managing the blessings entrusted to you with integrity? *3. Best is Right for the Saviour* a. God commanded the Levites to offer the best and holiest portion of what they received. Their offering was not to be made carelessly or with what was left over after satisfying their personal desires. God deserved their best because He was holy and had graciously provided for them. After setting apart the required portion, they could enjoy the remainder as their reward for service. God gave us His very best. The best salvation, the best forgiveness, the best sacrifice for sin ever possible, His best heaven etc. The God who gives His bests also demands our best as love is reciprocal. He expects wholehearted devotion, excellent service, and faithful obedience from His people. Our giving, worship, time, talents and service should reflect our bests and the greatness of the God we serve. We must honour Him with our best, not merely with what costs us nothing, but sacrificial. *Question* Are you giving God the best of your life, resources, talents and service or only what remains after your personal interests? *Prayer Points* 1.Father, thank you because You are my inheritance. Help me to trust You as my inheritance and be satisfied with You 🙏. 2.Lord, deliver me from selfishness and unbelief and teach me to be a faithful steward of every blessing You entrust to me 🙏. 3.Father, fill my heart with perfect love for You to always honour You with the best of my resources, time, talents and service 🙏. 4.Help all Your children to be cheerful and sacrificial givers 🙏. *HYMN:* Give Of Your Best To The Master. *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* LUKE 20-21. 2. Morning Prayer for today. MP.i. Morning Prayer [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. ⏤ Lamentations 3:22-23 To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing. ⏤ Martin Luther As we come to the end of another week, Father, we ask for Your blessing on this last morning. We’ve failed in many ways, and with humility and repentance, we confess our failures. We ask for the grace to make this last day of the week better than any of the others, to do its duties more faithfully, and to live more according to Your pure and holy laws. We thank You for all Your mercies. You’ve blessed us abundantly. The things we feared at the start of the week didn’t happen. The clouds we thought would bring darkness and storms either passed us by or brought only gentle rain that made our fields more fertile. The tasks we thought would be too hard for us have been manageable, and we’ve had the strength we needed as they came. We thank You for all the blessings of the week, which came to us in so many ways—through Your providence, through our friends, through our work. We’ve had food to eat and clothes to wear. We’ve had health and life’s comforts. You haven’t failed us once! This morning, we pray for our neighbors. Some of them are in trouble. Some homes have sickness. May You send Your tender grace and healing to them. Give strength to those who are suffering, so they can endure patiently, and may their suffering bring good to their souls. Remember the homes that have been darkened by sorrow. May those who are mourning catch glimpses of Heaven’s glory through their tears. Bless our neighbors who don’t know You yet, who are still resisting Your love. Lead them to surrender their lives to You. We ask all this in Jesus' precious name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/06/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good evening, brethren. 1 Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* FRIDAY 9TH OCTOBER, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* BENEFITS OF GRACE. *TOPIC:* ATONEMENT. *TEXT:* HEBREWS 2:16-18. 16. For surely it is not angels He helps, but Abraham’s descendants. 17. For this reason He had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that He might make atonement for the sins of the people. 18. Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted. *TOPIC:* ATONEMENT. *THE MESSAGE:* To atone for means "to cover" or "pardon" and make compensation for sin, thereby removing its guilt. The consequence of the fall was eternal condemnation. But Jesus became fully human in every aspect, except for sin, to represent believers and serve as their High Priest. His death was an atoning sacrifice to cancel sin and satisfy God's wrath (Rom. 3:24-25). His death reconciled us with God. Amazingly, God graciously pardoned our sins through Christ! Sadly, many people reject the Gospel of Christ, which calls sinners to repentance. Some do not even appreciate what God has done in their lives. Are you one of such people? Remember, you were condemned because of sin, but Christ paid for it to set you free. Believe in Him. *REFLECTION:* Christ has paid for your sin once and for all. *PRAYER:* Thank You, Lord, for atoning for my sin. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* TITUS 2:11. For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* MATTHEW 26-28. ED.ii. FAKE CONVERSION "They worshiped the Lord, but they also served their own gods in accordance with the customs of the nations from which they had been brought." - 2 Kings 17:32-33 The Lord Jesus Christ teaches us in His Word that conversion is essential to enter heaven. But conversion can also be imitated. I call that a 'fake conversion.' In 2 Kings 16 and 17 we read that God warned the people of Israel that He would surrender them to the enemy if they did not obey His commandments. They did not listen. The king of Assyria captured the Israelites and brought people from all over his kingdom to the land of Israel to live there. They thought differently, lived differently and had a completely different religion than the Israelites. This caused great difficulties; because of this, God became angry with them and sent wild lions among them. The result was that they continued to serve their own gods, but also worshiped the God of Israel. They did not really turn to the Lord but had a fake conversion. Are you truly born again? Today there are many people like this living in our country. The entire Western world is built on the teachings of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Many became religious because the lions were after them. But they have not really repented from their sins. It is a fake conversion and these 'Christians' have absolutely no desire to get to know the living God personally. Someone who is truly converted is shaken up in his conscience. The spiritual eyes of this person are opened, and he will, like the prodigal son, go to God to say: 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against You. I am no longer worthy to be called Your son… Forgive me Father, allow me to come back to You.' This is true conversion and such person is born again. You no longer want to serve other gods besides Jesus Christ. https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. ⏤ Psalm 16:7 It is not enough to begin to pray, nor to pray aright; nor is it enough to continue for a time to pray, but we must patiently, believingly continue in prayer until we obtain an answer. ⏤ George Müller We come to You, O God, for Your blessing at the end of this day. It’s dark around us—but darkness and light are the same to You. Your care is as perfect and full of blessings in the night as it is in the day. This has been a good day for us. You’ve led us along paths we didn’t know, and we couldn’t have found without Your guidance. Forgive us if we weren’t always willing to follow Your way. If any of us have strayed from the right path, forgive us and bring us back before we sleep. We want to follow Your plan for our lives, and we don’t want to ruin it by choosing our own foolish way. Now, as the day ends, we lay all our work before You. Nothing is truly finished until it has Your blessing. Bless the work of our hands. Correct our mistakes. Complete the beauty that we only began to sketch with our poor efforts. Make all our work holy, and take it into Your hands to be part of Your great plan. We ask You to bless the people we’ve met today with the influence of our lives on them. If we didn’t live in a way that truly represented Jesus, please forgive us. Let no harm come from our errors. We pray for all our friends everywhere. We pray for the sick, for those who are lonely tonight, for the sailors on the sea, for those facing temptation, the weary, the sorrowful.

FRIDAY OCTOBER 9, 2O26 "JOB'S CREED (1)" ‘I know that my Redeemer lives…’ Job 19:25 NKJV THE PATRIARCH Job survived boils, bankruptcy and bereavement and came out with his faith intact. Let’s look at the creed he lived by: 1) ‘I know.’ When you can say, ‘I know,’ you’re an exclamation point in a world of question marks. Job didn’t say, ‘I have been told.’ What he knew about God, he knew through experience and personal revelation. Is such a life possible? Yes, ‘You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things’ (1 John 2:20 NKJV). You can ‘know’ things about God in your heart that you can’t fully understand or explain. Why? Because they’re spiritually discerned. 2) ‘That my Redeemer lives.’ Though Christ was not yet born, Job caught a glimpse of our pre-existent Redeemer whom Scripture describes as ‘…the Ancient of Days…’ (Daniel 7:22 NKJV); the One Micah referred to ‘…whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting’ (Micah 5:2 NKJV). He existed before He was born, and He outlived His pallbearers. Paul says, ‘…He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich’ (2 Corinthians 8:9 NKJV). 3) ‘And that He shall stand at last on the earth.’ Job saw what Zechariah the prophet saw: ‘In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives…’ (Zechariah 14:4 NKJV).The truth is, the first time Jesus came, He came to save. The next time He comes, He comes to reign. His first coming was to be our Redeemer; His second coming is to usher in His rule as King of Kings. ‘Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ’ (Titus 2:13 NKJV).

[08/10, 8:29 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* FRIDAY, 9TH OCTOBER, 2026. *ADDICTED GIVERS* *TEXT:* PHILIPPIANS 4:14-18. 14 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. 15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. 16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. 17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. 18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. *Timeless Truth:*_"This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men"_ (Titus 3:8). *INTRODUCTION* Paul the apostle once commended the house of Stephanas as having addicted themselves to the ministry to the saints (1 Corinthians 16:15). The Philippians Church also carries the same tag when considering their bountiful giving to the saints. Giving is one of the clearest expressions of Christian love, commitment and partnership in the Gospel. The Philippian believers were not occasional givers; they developed a lifestyle of supporting God’s work. The Church was commended for giving to the ministers and needy brethren. Some brethren got to the extreme of sharing for God's service, but seldom give to the necessity of the saints and ministers. This is hypocrisy. The generosity of Philippians Church teaches us that true giving is not merely about what we possess, but about our willingness to become channels of God’s provision. *1. Communicating Members of the Church* a. The Apostle Paul's affliction was not sickness, disease or attack of Satan. Rather, it was a kind of sufferings or persecutions, including imprisonment, that befell him in the course of preaching the gospel. He even encouraged and challenged believers to be partakers of this kind of afflictions of the gospel. *"Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God"* (2 Timothy 1:8). Paul the apostle commended the Philippians because they *“communicated with my affliction”* through their giving. They did not merely sympathize with the suffering of the minister; they participated in meeting his needs. Their giving demonstrated fellowship, partnership and concern for the advancement of the Gospel. b. As 1 Timothy 6:18 says, believers should be *“rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate.”* They are expected to be natural, passionate and addicted givers. The benefits of giving are immeasurable. The givers are blessed in multiple folds, the recipients will have their needs met and will be refreshed, while God Himself is glorified that the needs of His children are being met. *Question* Am I merely observing the needs of God’s workers or am I actively communicating with them through sacrificial giving? *2. Continuous Ministrations and Care* The Philippians did not give only once. It was their way of life. Paul the apostle testified that *“even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.”* Occasionally, charity results in occasional divine blessings. Their generosity was continuous and dependable. Addicted givers do not wait for repeated appeals before responding; they cultivate a consistent heart of generosity. Their giving becomes a ministry of care through which the needs of God’s servants and the work of God are continually supported. b. Paul the apostle told Titus to affirm constantly to his congregation that believers should have the heart and habit of maintaining good works. Many often start with the habits of cheerfully, sharing with others, but slow down along the way. It must be deliberately maintained (Titus 3:8). *Question* Is my generosity occasional and convenient or is giving a consistent expression of my Christian commitment? *3. Contented Ministers of Christ* a. Apostle Paul clarified that he was not primarily seeking their gifts, but *“fruit that may abound to your account.”* He was not a covetous person, but had more delight in their spiritual fruitfulness. He had earlier told them that he had the grace of contentment and self discipline. *"For I have learnt in whatever state I am therewith to be content"*. Notwithstanding, he still expressed deep appreciation for their giving and sharing. He declared, *“I have all, and abound,”* describing their gifts as *“an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.”* God therefore, sees sincere giving not simply as a financial transaction, but as worship and a sacrifice that pleases Him. b. True ministers of God do not turn to predators milking the sheep for their benefits and personal enrichment. Like Apostle Paul, they are to be contented with what they have and rely on God for provision whenever they lack anything. This is how they can show Christlikeness. *Question* Do I have the grace of self discipline and contentment or am I covetous? *Prayer Points* 1.Father, give me a generous heart that willingly support Your work and Your servants 🙏. 2.Lord, deliver me from selfishness and make me a consistent and dependable giver 🙏. 3.Father, let my giving produce abundant spiritual fruit to my account 🙏. 3.Lord, deliver and keep Your ministers and servants from the covetous spirit 🙏. *HYMN:* I Gave my Life For Thee. *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* LUKE 17-19.

She was reiterating a principle backed by a divine balance that ensures a steady return stream of what is given back to the giver. Thus, the giver cannot run out of what they offer.* *The truth in Anne's observation reechoes the message of Apostle Paul's prison letter to the Philippian brethren. The Philippians had benefited from the priceless riches of the gospel brought to them by Apostle Paul years ago. Beginning with Lydia, the purple dealer, many Philippians were saved from sin and ushered into a new life of spiritual prosperity. Now, they heard of their mentor's needs as a missionary giving his all in the service of the Lord, as he did in Philippi. They repeatedly came to his aid when others did not. They did not forsake Paul in confinement in Rome, either. The apostle initiated this process of sacrificial giving, which left neither side impoverished.* *The Philippians received uncommon apostolic commendation and benediction that should spur today's believers to be liberal in supporting the Church for the propagation of the gospel of Christ. Doing the work of God is not a business venture that yields money. It can only be sustained when we embrace the spirit of giving faithfully and cheerfully.* *With mounting pressure on the Church to reach more unsaved mankind before the return of the Son of God, there should be no hesitation on the part of members of the Body of Christ to give willingly for the release of more missionaries into the field. We also have to pray to be part of the mammoth throng moving into the harvest space with our family members, time and talents. We must not forsake our leaders, especially in their hour of need. That is the lesson from the Philippians. They reciprocated the generosity of their spiritual father.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*Truly, giving to promote the work of God will not make you poor.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *LUKE 17-19*📜📜 Reciprocal Generosity https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 62: GO, LABOUR ON; GHS 85: GIVE OF YOUR BEST TO THE MASTER; AND GHS 87: TAKE MY LIFE* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna9thOctober2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [08/10, 10:10 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*(SINCERE MILK: Children Daily Devotional Guide 2⃣0⃣2⃣6️⃣)*_ 🙇🏼🙇🏼🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇🏼🙇‍♀️🙇🏼🙇‍♀️🙇🏼‍♂️ ```FRIDAY 9TH OCTOBER, 2026``` *ONE GOOD THING ABOUT THE PRODIGAL SON* 📓📖🎚️🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️✝️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```LUKE 15:17-24```📜📜 🕔📚🖋️🚻😁🎼🏆🍉🪴🌈💻 🔑📖 ```Key Verse:``` _*"I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee" (Luke 15:18).*_ 📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖 Many children have heard the story of the prodigal son again and again; how the prodigal son wasted his money and resources, how he began to be in want, how all the friends that helped him waste his money deserted him, how he became homeless, how he wanted to eat the food meant for pigs and they did not give him. Whao! The poor boy suffered and nobody cared for him, he was lost. But one day, something happened, he came to his senses and realized his folly. He agreed that he had done wrong. He admitted his wrong. He took a bold decision and followed it up with a bold and practical action. He said, *"I will arise and go to my father,... And he arose, and came to his father..."* This is courage. This is what can turn a life around from failure to success, from shame to honour, from regret and self-pity to a glorious achievement in life. *Somebody once said, no matter how far you have gone on a wrong way, the only wise thing to do is to turn back.

Morning Prayer for today. MP.i. Morning Prayer Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. ⏤ Psalm 143:8 Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend. Not that it is necessary in order to make known to God what we are, but in order to enable us to receive Him. ⏤ E.M. Bounds Almighty God, our Father, another day has begun, and we want to start it with You. If we spend a little time talking with You, we’ll be ready to face whatever comes our way. If we can look into Your face and feel Your presence with us, we won’t be afraid to face any danger. We thank You for the rest we had last night. Many people didn’t make it through the night—but here we are, alive and well. Now, we give ourselves to You for this new day. We want to make it a holy day, and we ask for the grace to do so. May Your word guide our steps and light our path. Let its teachings stay in our hearts, and give us the grace to follow them. Lead us according to Your word. Don’t let sin control us. Don’t take Your Holy Spirit away from us. Restore the joy of Your salvation to us. Our trust is in Jesus Christ alone. We’re not worthy on our own, because we’ve sinned and our hearts are flawed. But Jesus died for us, and in His name, we come to You, asking for Your favor and blessing. We thank You for Your love, from which nothing—neither death nor life—can separate us. May we remain in Your love, and may Your peace always be with us. We ask for a blessing on everyone we interact with today. Help them become Your friends. Draw them closer to You. Help us to live in a way that makes them think of You and the realities of Heaven. May we speak Your words to those who are hurting or lost, and may Your grace and peace flow through us to others. We place our hands in Yours as we go out today. Lead us, bless us, keep us, and use us! We ask in Jesus' precious name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/05/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* THURSDAY 8TH OCTOBER, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* BENEFITS OF GRACE. *TOPIC:* GIIFT OF SALVATION. *TEXTS:* EPHESIANS 2:8-9; TITUS 3:5-7. *EPHESIANS 2:8-9.* 8. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God 9. not by works, so that no one can boast. *TITUS 3:5-7.* 5. He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6. whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7. so that, having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. *TOPIC:* GIIFT OF SALVATION. *THE MESSAGE:* Since the fall, man has been in dire need of salvation. There is no amount of work a man can do to gain salvation. In these texts, Paul states categorically that salvation is entirely an act of God's grace and not a result of human effort or merit. We are saved by grace through faith, not something earned through works or righteous deeds, leaving no room for boasting. God mercifully initiated our salvation through the washing of regeneration and renewal by Holy Spirit. This results in justification and the hope of eternal life. Beneficiaries of salvation must remain loyal and submissive to God. They must not boast of anything of theirs. Have you accepted the salvation Christ offers? If not, take a decisive step. Today is the day of salvation (Heb. 3:15). *REFLECTION:* God is offering you salvation today; receive it. *PRAYER:* Thank You, Lord, for the offer of salvation. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* TITUS 2:11. For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* MATTHEW 24-25. ED.ii. DO NOT BE AFRAID "When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as though dead. Then He placed His right hand on me and said: 'Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.'" - Revelation 1:17 The words 'do not be afraid' are found throughout the Bible, both in the Old and the New Testament. God said to Abraham: 'do not be afraid' when he had to fight the kings of the north. To Isaac, God said: 'do not be afraid' when he was afraid of the Philistines. Jacob heard these encouraging words when he wanted to go to Egypt. Perhaps, like Abraham, you are engaged in a major battle. But God wants to tell you: 'do not be afraid.' Maybe you are afraid of the enemy like Isaac was. Or you are about to make a big change in your life, just like Jacob. You are afraid of it, but the Lord also tells you: 'do not be afraid.' When the Israelites stood in front of the Red Sea, they could not go further. They were scared and thought they were going to die. Then Moses said to them: 'Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today' (Exodus 14:13). At the announcement of Jesus' birth, the angel said to the shepherds: 'do not be afraid.' Mary also heard the same words. Jesus said to John on the island of Patmos: 'do not be afraid' and He laid His right hand on John. If everybody on earth would know who Jesus is, they would not be afraid. He also puts His hand on you and says: 'I love you. I have given My life for you. I have paid the price for your sins.' God is not a bad guy who is always ready to punish when you do something wrong. Jesus loves you and me. He is our Redeemer, Savior and Lord. https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth. God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. ⏤ Psalm 46:1 Faith is to prayer what the feather is to the arrow; it feathers the arrow of prayer and makes it fly swifter and pierce the throne of grace. ⏤ Thomas Watson Night has fallen again, and we come to find refuge in You. You are our safe place and our strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. We don’t fear the darkness because You’re there too. It’s just Your way of wrapping us up in Your care. You’re as present in the darkness as You are in the light. Let the night cover us like Your wings—where we find safety, warmth, and blessing. Not everything went well today. We had our struggles. Our hearts were hurt. But You are the healer—will You heal us? Take the tangled messes we’ve made, straighten them out, and weave them into something beautiful! Take the dark moments of today, the things that seem wrong, and by Your grace, turn them into blessings. Help us let go of the complicated parts of our lives that we can’t fix and trust You to bring good out of them. We ask for a stronger faith so that we never doubt Your love or goodness. Save us from fear and from disbelief. Help our weak faith to grow. Help us see the invisible truths and rest on them like a solid rock! Forgive the sins of this day. Thank You for all Your goodness. Watch over us tonight and bless us with restful sleep, giving us renewed strength. If we wake up in the morning, let us be ready for a new day of service. We ask all of this in Jesus’ name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/04/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🌺🌹🎁🎀💝 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. THURSDAY OCTOBER 8, 2026. "MARITAL HAPPINESS" ‘Blessed (happy, to be envied…) are the poor in spirit (the humble, who rate themselves insignificant)…’ Matthew 5:3 AMP WHEN THE rosy glow diminishes and reality sets in, what makes some marriages happy while others slide into misery? Luck? Good genes? Hanging tough? Hardly! Marital happiness that transcends changing circumstances is built on the qualities Jesus taught. Let’s look at them: 1) Happy are the humble. ‘Blessed (happy…) are the poor in spirit (the humble, who rate themselves insignificant).’ Pride that’s self-promoting and always demanding its rights brings misery, while humility, self-denial and considering your mate’s needs brings happiness. 2) Happy are the meek: the gentle, patient and kind. Handling your spouse’s struggles with kindness, sensitivity and long-suffering is an expression of love that brings healing into the painful chapters of life and marriage. 3) Happy are the merciful. Sooner or later we’ll inflict injury on one another. Hurt, disappointment and anger will rise up, followed by a desire to make them pay. But just as revenge begets revenge, mercy begets mercy. Mercy isn’t ‘letting them get away with it.’ Treating your spouse mercifully is reciprocal. It creates an atmosphere, where, when you fail, you ‘shall obtain mercy.’ Mercy ends disputes when nothing else works! 4) Happy are the peacemakers. The need to be ‘right’ and ‘win’ only intensifies conflict. In marriage, when one ‘wins,’ both lose! Giving up personal victory to be a peacemaker is ultimate victory. You’d be eternally lost if Jesus hadn’t willingly surrendered His rights for your wrongs. The ring is not the sole symbol of Christian marriage, but the cross superimposed on the ring. Christ-like surrender of our uncrucified self promotes marital happiness! Bible In A Year: 2 Sam 14:21 – 17:13, John 3:1-21, Ps 89:15-37, Pro 23:15-18.

[07/10, 7:20 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* THURSDAY, 8TH OCTOBER, 2026. *A SCIENTIFIC PROOF OF JESUS AS CREATOR* *TEXT:* JOHN 9:1-7. 1And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. 4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, 7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing. *Timeless Truth:*_"All things were made by him (Christ); and without him was not any thing made that was made."_ (John 1:3). *INTRODUCTION* One of the distinguishing features of a scientific result is that it must be repeatable. This is one of the greatest points against the theory of Evolution that teaches that man evolved from monkeys. Millions of years have passed after creation and nobody has been able to see a monkey evolving into a man. It has never been repeated and therefore, the theory is not yet proved as scientific. The Scriptures revealed that man was created from the dust of the earth and that Jesus is the Creator revealed in Genesis (John 1:3, Colossians 1:15,16). These two assertions were repeated by Jesus showing that what the Scriptures said about Jesus' creative credentials have been repeated by Jesus, thus, scientifically confirming Him as the Creator and as the Person who created man from the dust. It shows clearly that whatever needs supernatural recreation including body organs, human spirit, human soul, etc, is possible in this life if we bring it to Christ. *1. Reasons for Creation Weaknesses* a. *"Who did sin?"*. The disciples correctly knew that sicknesses, infirmities, death deformities, evil nature and characters, all originated from the fall of Adam as consequences of sin. *"The wages of sin is death"*. The curses on Adam and creations were as a result of sin. It is still true today that many bitter and evil experiences we pass through are as a result of the sins of our fathers, including forefathers. For example, there are covenants and curses that our fathers have incurred that are limiting their children who may not even be aware of what transpired before they were born. However, Jesus said that in this specific case, *"neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents"*. The creative deformity of blindness of this man was not as a result of the specific sins of the parents or the man though in general terms, it was as a result of the fall of man. b. The answer of Jesus teaches the danger of generalisation and presumption on causes of problems that people may have. While some may be the fault of people having the problem, at times, it is never their fault. Jesus gave the blind man and his parents a clean bill on the cause of the deformity of the man. This is a reason for human love and compassion in dealing with human problems and challenges. Even when sin and ignorance are involved, the heart should show compassion. The answer of Jesus shows that the Trinity has moved on from the stupidity of man that caused man to fall and is concentrating on giving solutions. Thus, Jesus has been given to man to solve all the sin problems and consequences. Move on from blaming others, nursing hatred and pointing accusing fingers and start working on solutions. This is how to be like God. *Question* Do I always interpret human limitations and problems to be as a result of sin or rather leave the cause to God and give needed helping hand? *2. Revelation of Christ in the World* a. Jesus declared,*“I am the light of the world”*. He is not one or part of the light, but the light. In the creative work, He is the One who created light and said, *"Let there be light and there was light"*. Without Him there was no light. John 1:9 reveals that He *"was the true Light, that lighteth every man that cometh into the world"*. This shows the connection between life and light and as Jesus the Giver of both. He demonstrated this by giving life to the dead eyes. Light reveals, dispels darkness and makes growth possible. Think of a world without Christ. It will be a world without the life of God, without the knowledge of the truth and without an example of how to practically, live out righteousness. Christ's presence brings life illumination where darkness and death exists. b. Christians derive their lights from Christ and must be little Christs showing forth the light of God that is bright enough for the world to see the difference. Jesus said, *"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."* *Question* Is the light of Christ clearly manifested enough through your life? *3. Repetition of Creative Work* When Jesus can merely *"speak the word only"* and the blind would be healed, why did He go through the process of using clay to heal him? It was to announce to the Jews and the world at large, that the Person who created man in the Garden of Eden was among them physically and He is visiting the world again to redeem the man who was lost at the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:7). It was also to announce to the world of skeptical scientists that will later come that His creative claims can be scientifically, proved or verified. It shows that whatever God has ever created or done before can be repeated by Christ if need be. He can create more holy angels if need be. He can recreate any dead organs of the body. He can recreate the human perverted soul and make him a new creature. *"If any man is in Christ, he is a new creature"*. What can take man days and weeks and years, with all his technological advancements, will take Jesus just a moment of time. Recreation of the soul and salvation of man by Jesus does not take Him hours or days in a progressive mode, it only takes a moment of time. Resurrection and Rapture of the saints will not take Jesus several hours. It will take place *"in the twinkling of an eye"*. Praises be to Jesus Christ, the Creator of heaven and earth. *Question* How much is your faith in Christ? *Prayer Points* 1.Lord Jesus, I accept and believe You as Lord and Creator to rule my life. Let all praises be to You 🙏. 2.Let the light of Christ shine upon every area of my darkness and restore everything good that is missing in my life 🙏. 3.Help me to recognize, trust and proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and Creator 🙏. 4.Open the eyes of Your people to see and believe in Jesus more and more as God the Creator 🙏. *HYMN:* All Hail the Power of Jesus *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* LUKE 13-16.

When our Lord, Jesus Christ declared, "I am the light of the world," He meant every word and spoke with a sense of solemn responsibility. He had just healed a man who was born blind. In what appears to allude to the doctrine of transmigration (the presumption that people's afflictions are punishment for their pre-existent sins) prevalent then, His disciples asked whose sin caused the man's blindness. Christ did not lend credence to that notion but emphatically asserted that the man's case was an opportunity to for the display of God's miraculous work. He affirmed that He must fulfil the mandate that brought Him to the world, "while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work." He emphatically declared Himself as the light of the world.* *Like Christ, Christians must seize every opportunity to do good before it is lost. To be light is to expose darkness, to illuminate paths, to burn with purpose. And as Christ is, so are we in this world, says the Bible. Therefore, the sacred burden of lighting the world now rests upon His followers. Tragically, modern religious professors who lack transformation claim the Light but cast no glow. The early Christians turned cities upside down not with polished sermons, but with radiant lives, healing the broken, embracing the outcast, living as reflections of the Radiant One, Jesus Christ.* *To the one still in shadow: turn to Christ. The Light has come. Embrace its healing and redemptive power and reflect it so that others can be saved through it. As you turn your life over to Jesus, He will make you shine just like Him. Let your life rise above mere existence. Live in such a way that darkness winces at your entry. Speak the truth that liberates. Extend kindness that shatters cynicism. As He is, so must we be, unapologetically bright in a dimming world.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*The light of Christ is so intense that no one can abide in it and fail to reflect it.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *LUKE 13-16*📜📜 Light Of The World https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 231: SEND THE LIGHT; GHS 49: LET OTHERS SEE JESUS IN YOU; AND GHS 114: BRIGHTEN THE CORNER WHERE YOU ARE* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna8thOctober2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [07/10, 8:37 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```THURSDAY 8TH OCTOBER, 2026``` *TOUGH JOB FOR THE TOUGH - 1* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️💪🏽🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽🙌🏽 📜📜```TEXT:1 SAMUEL 16:10-13```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward.

They want to be the first to get into the school bus after closing hour, also the first to get down from the bus. When in the classroom, they want to be the first to finish the exercise given by the teacher, not minding how correct their work is. Sometimes, a mother prepares food for a hungry baby; but while the food is still hot, the baby wants to take it not minding the burning effect on his tongue. Actually, impatience always has a harmful effect. What is patience? Patience is the ability to wait, accept or bear with delays, problems, and sufferings without becoming annoyed or anxious. As friends of Jesus, one great virtue you must have is patience. In our text, the Psalmist said *"I waited patiently for the LORD;..."* Unlike the Psalmist, many friends of Jesus rush their daily Bible reading exercise, and they rush their prayer too. The result is that they gained nothing. It is a mark of respect to God to be patient when you are before Him reading your Bible, praying, or waiting to receive the answer to your prayer. *What are the rewards of patience? God always give the best to the patient child. Joseph waited for God's time to be promoted, and he got the best. God will answer your prayer and bring you out of serious trouble.* *He will make you to sing a song of victory and joy. He will deliver you from fear and anxiety. He will increase your trust in Him.

Bless us, let Your face shine on us, and be gracious to us. Lift up the light of Your presence on us and give us Your peace. We wouldn’t dare go out into the world today without knowing You’re with us. But You are everywhere. Where could we go that You wouldn’t be there? No matter where we end up today, we will see You watching over us. Nothing can separate us from Your love! No power can pull us out of Your hands! So, even as we leave the safety of our home and go into a world full of dangers, we aren’t afraid because You’re with us wherever we go. We dedicate ourselves to You. You’ve redeemed us, and we belong to You. We recognize Your rightful ownership of us, and we offer ourselves to You freely. Yet, we know how hard it is to truly give ourselves to You because our hearts are constantly pulled away. So, take us, God—because we can’t do it on our own. When temptation comes, shelter us and don’t let us fall. If we face evil, lead us safely through it. Protect us from anything that would dishonor You or harm our lives. We ask for the grace to make this a holy day. Help us do our everyday tasks in a way that pleases You. Save us from laziness, from greed, from neglecting our responsibilities, from bad tempers, and from holding grudges. Help us be patient with everyone, to be forgiving, kind, thoughtful, courteous, loving, and prayerful. Protect us and bring us home safely tonight. We ask all of this in the name of Jesus, our Redeemer. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/04/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀💝🌺🎁🌹🎀 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 7, 2O26. "HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT LEADER" ‘They nominated…Barsabbas…and Matthias.’ Acts 1:23 NLT WHEN Judas committed suicide, the team of apostles was one man short. So what did they do? ‘They nominated two men…Barsabbas…and Matthias.’ To decide which one was called to take the place of Judas, they used a method known as ‘casting lots.’ It was a system used in biblical times when only a few select people could actually speak with God or hear from Him personally. As a result, Matthias was chosen. You say, ‘But I’ve never heard of Matthias.’ And nobody else has either! He is not mentioned again in Scripture. But Barsabbas, the man who didn’t get the vote, is referred to as one of the leaders who steered the church through some treacherous waters of doctrinal error (Acts 15:22-23). There are two important lessons for us in this story: 1) You can know God but you will never be able to figure Him out. So stop trying. You can’t reduce Him to a formula and say, ‘This is the way He always does it.’ Casting lots was a system God may have honoured in the past, but when the apostles tried it they didn’t get the results they hoped for. 2) God will speak to you if you are willing to listen. Before leaving them, Jesus had told His disciples that the indwelling Holy Spirit would guide them. ‘All that belongs to the Father is mine; this is why I said, “The Spirit will tell you whatever he receives from me”’ (John 16:15 NLT).

However, He operates a shared leadership method where He uses different means to appoint and install leaders and rulers as His representative in all strata of life. They are accountable to God first and to the people second. Often many started leadership in a humble way, but as time progressed, pride, the deceptions of authority, power and people brought out the beastiality and base nature in them, thereby turning them into wicked rulers. Rulers and leaders should be watchful against the common evil tendencies of rulers because the day of accountability will definitely come in this life and in the world to come. *1. Danger of Pride after Exaltation* a. God pronounced the judgment of King Jeroboam, that took over from Solomon, that he would be destroyed and his family line will be obliterated because of the idol worship he introduced to Israel (1 Kings 14:9). Years after the death of Jeroboam, Baasha conspired against the son of Jeroboam, killed him and took over the throne (1 Kings 15:27). It is easy to conclude that Baasha took the throne through his smartness, bravery and power. However, God said NO. *"Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust and made thee Prince over my people Israel..."*. Baasha missed out on this revelation and decided *" to walk in the way of Jeroboam, and make my people to sin, to provoke me to anger"*. b. Pride and selfwill are the besetting sins of leaders and rulers. When the conviction that God is the author of exaltation is lost or not there, it is easy for leaders to be deceived by Satan and position and stoop down to pride and irresponsibility. Position without humility can produce pride, rebellion and abuse of authority. Every elevation is an opportunity to serve God and people, not an excuse for self-glorification. Also put into mind that God put you there and you are accountable to Him and also watch against pride. The Person who exalts has the power to abase. *"God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble"* (James 4:6). *Question* Has your elevation made you more humble and obedient to God, or more proud and self-reliant? *2. Damnation of Posterity of Evildoers* It is expected that the Owner of the world and the Person who gave the appointment will punish evil and reward good doing at His own time. It is self deception to think that leadership opportunity is also an opportunity to lead wrongly, damn the consequences and escape them . God told Baasha. *"Behold I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house"*. His evil conduct affected not only himself, but also his posterity. Sinful leadership can leave destructive consequences for generations. b. God pronounced different levels of judgments for erring and proud leaders depending on their evils. Therefore, those entrusted with authority must fear God and consider the spiritual legacy they are creating. The world is as good as their rulers. The same with communities, families and even churches. God puts a lot of premium on leadership and therefore, they must be responsible. *Question* What kind of spiritual legacy are your present choices creating for those who will come after you? *3. Dependable Prophet Against Evils* God sent His Word through the prophet Jehu to expose Baasha’s evil and announce His judgment. Jehu, as God's representative or appointed ruler in his own calling, was faithful to God. He did not fear the reaction of the powers that be. He was not sold out and neither did he compromise. He spoke the truth exactly as God has inspired him without any cloak of covetousness. He is an example of responsible leadership. If ministers are faithful to the Word of God, their church members who are also rulers and leaders in their own world will be assisted to do the right. But when they compromise, it has a viral effect on all, including the ministers themselves. Divine truth is God’s instrument for confronting wickedness, correcting rulers and calling people to repentance. *Question* Do you accept God’s Word when it confronts your wrongdoing or do you resist the messenger who brings it? Are you a faithful or flirting minister? *Prayer Points* 1.Lord, deliver and preserve me from pride and self-exaltation whenever You lift me up 🙏. 2.Father, help me to exercise every position of authority with humility, righteousness, constant watchfulness and the fear of God 🙏. 3.Lord, help me to be effective and godly so that my life and leadership leave a godly legacy for generations after me 🙏. 4.Father, give Your children grace to be godly leaders in any area of appointment 🙏. *HYMN:* Count Me *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* LUKE 11-12.

Even the post-tenure probe, which has become traditional in many countries, has not deterred many from stealing public funds and indulging in many other abuses. This is only a reflection of the depravity of man.* *Baasha ruled Israel for over two decades. Even though he came to power through a coup that saw him kill his predecessor, it was God's providence that permitted him to stay on. Yet he could not learn from history that "It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness" (Proverbs 16:12). He was not only wicked, but like Jeroboam, he made Israel to sin and to provoke the Holy One to anger with their sins.* *God was particularly pained by the fact that He exalted Baasha "out of the dust". He was most unworthy to be king in Israel and therefore should have been humbled by the significant office he was privileged to occupy. Instead, he became full of himself and waxed gross in wickedness. When the wicked mount the throne, the people are doomed. The throne of unrighteousness can only succeed in multiplying unrighteousness in the land. For this abuse, the Lord passed a fearful judgment upon Baasha and his posterity (verses 3 and 4).* *As you reflect on the reign and ruin of Baasha this day, consider also how the Lord has elevated you to some position of influence. How much value have you added? You should glorify Him with the privileges and opportunities given to you. You can avoid ending disastrously like Baasha if you will prayerfully resolve to walk only in the path of righteousness and serve humbly.

At school, Loveth and Sarah were arguing over a little misunderstanding, and some students made things worse by encouraging them to keep fighting, but Victoria, who loved Jesus, saw what was happening and knew she had to help. She talked to both girls, helping them understand each other and reminding them that Jesus wants them to be friends. After the intervention, Loveth and Sarah made up, and peace returned to the class. *Like Victoria, we should all be peacemakers helping others find peace and love, just like Jesus did for us.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🎀💝🎁🌺🌹 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY TUESDAY OCTOBER 6, 2026. "POST-TRAUMATIC GROWTH (3)" ‘…My grace is sufficient for you…’ 2 Corinthians 12:9 NKJV. ONE OF the classic stories of adversity in the Bible is about Joseph. At the beginning of his life he is the favourite son, envied by his brothers, with dreams of being someone everybody bows down to. Then he’s kidnapped by his brothers and ends up serving as a slave in Potiphar’s house. He loses his home, his culture, his security and his status as favourite son. What does Joseph have left? He is in a strange bed, in a strange house, in a strange land, with no friends, no prospects, and no explanation. But he has one gift—one that makes all the difference. ‘The Lord was with Joseph…’ (Genesis 39:2 NIV). What happens when you lose everything but God, then find out that God is enough? You experience His presence in a way you never did before! Paul writes: ‘…Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death…No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us’ (Romans 8:35-37 NLT). God wasn’t at work producing the circumstances Joseph wanted; He was at work in bad circumstances producing the Joseph that God wanted. Just as a diamond is formed out of common carbon placed under millions of pounds of pressure—so the character of Christ is formed in you by adverse circumstances. So the question is: Will you hold up or fold up? When Paul thought he couldn’t stand any more, God told him, ‘…My grace is sufficient for you…’ (2 Corithians 12:9 NKJV). And do you know what? His grace is sufficient for you too. Bible In A Year: Est 4:9 – 5:3, Heb 4:7-16.

[05/10, 7:24 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* TUESDAY, 6TH OCTOBER, 2026. *EXPRESSIONS OF TRUE LOVE* *TEXT:* ROMANS 12:9-21. 9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. 14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. *Timeless Truth:*_"And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."_ (Romans 5:5). *INTRODUCTION* GOD is love and godliness is rooted in love. This is beyond natural, filial, emotional or friendly love. It is the outworking of the Holy Spirit in the heart of believers. Nobody can fully manifest it without salvation and sanctification of the heart. It is the barometer that should be used to measure true spirituality. It is the greatest of all virtues (1 Corinthians 13:13). Lest any be deceived or deceive himself, Paul the apostle, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit listed some of the expressions of love without which the love is fake. There are different levels. It gives each sincere believer an opportunity to check up how loving he is and areas to deepen in his love life. The text speaks for itself. *1. Love with Sincerity* *"Let love be without dissimulation"*. True love is void of hypocritical expressions meant to deceive. *2. Love Separates* He, consciously, separates from every evil action or word that will displease God or harm or hurt others physically, psychologically, emotionally and otherwise. *"Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good"*. *3. Love has Sympathy* He has a tender heart that sympathizes sincerely with people who need it. *"Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love"*. *4. Love Salutes* He salutes others in areas where others are better without pride. He is low enough to see others and prefers them as better than him. *"In honour preferring one another"*. He is not envious or engages in carnal rivalry with anyone. *5. Love is not Slothful* Many claim love for God. But true love for God is expressed in spiritual, fervent zeal for the service of God. *"Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord"*. *6. Love Sparkles* True love still glows and is cheerful in the midst of challenges. He is not sad at the blessings or promotion of others. He is not moody. He rejoices not because he does not have standards and expectations, but because he is full of faith and hope in God for better things when things go wrong. *"Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer"*. *7. Love Shares* He willingly shares good things he has with those who need it. This includes experiences, knowledge and physical things. He does this without compulsion. *Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality"*. *9. Love is Sociable* He is friendly and enjoys the company of other people without bearing grudge or harbouring bitterness or vengeful spirit. He graciously forgives with ease. *"Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not"*. *"Recompense to NO man evil for evil"*. He is a courageous and addicted peace maker. He is not quarrelsome. *"If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord"*. He is not a man of fire for fire, but a gracious and sweet personality that people like to move with. *"Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head"*. The coals of fire will melt the heart of the adversary to repentance and if he refuses to repent, the judgment of God will follow. *"Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good"*. *10. Love is Selfless* He has a sanctified disposition and rejoices at what makes other people happy and he is sorrowful at what makes others sorrowful. He thinks of others welfare and happiness more than that of himself like Jesus. He is a man with empathy. *"Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep"*. He is simple and humble and is always united with the brethren in things that glorify God. *"Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits"*. His honesty and transparency are clearly visible to others. *"Provide things honest in the sight of all men"*. He has a good report of those inside and outside. *Assignment* Score yourself "Excellent", "Strong", "weak', "very weak" on each of the ten expressions of love above. Map out what you will do to improve on each of them? *Prayer Points* 1.Ask the Lord for divine purging from all fake and hypocritical expressions of love 🙏. 2.Ask Him for mercy and strength on each of them where you are very weak 🙏. 3.Ask the Father, that the Holy Spirit does a deeper work of grace in your life in areas that you are weak 🙏. 4.Pray that all brethren will grow in practical love towards one another 🙏. *HYMN:* Deeper Deeper in the Love of Jesus *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* LUKE 9-10.

They speak nicely and softly, but inwardly, they are full of scorn. They smile at others, but in their hearts, they are full of hatred. They know how not to hurt the feelings of other people openly, but secretly, they hack down their name and reputation. Pretence is not just a character flaw; it is a sin that hurts deeply.* *There is no better way to conquer this vice than to learn to love others unconditionally. This will mean avoiding anything that has a semblance of evil or wickedness, and endeavouring only to be good to all. This is unfashionable in a world where competition, envy and greed are in full bloom. For believers, however, it is an imperative to love one another, give preference and honour to others, inspire others to be hardworking and fervent in the service of the Lord. Believers should not forget their greatest possession: a place in heaven. And for this, they should be full of joy, patiently bearing all trials, and be prayerful always.* *The Lord expects believers to care for one another, provide for the poor, needy and strangers, bless and never curse others, empathise with people, whether in happy or sad times. They should be in agreement with other believers, and not proud especially towards those not as endowed materially as themselves. Nor should they pay back evil for evil, but shun all forms of revenge, preferring instead to leave it to God. Honesty and peacefulness must characterise the lives of believers. They should help those who are undeserving of such deeds, and by so doing, overcome with good, the evil deeds of adversaries.* *We are required by God not to be merely polite, but gracious, and show real and sincere love to others, especially fellow believers. We should, in practical ways, show love to those in need by giving willingly and sacrificially to them. This could be in the form of food for the hungry, room for the homeless, generally fending for those who cannot afford to help themselves. We should forgive all who offend us, never repay them in their own coins, nor seek to tactfully exact revenge on them. We should never fail to help other people because we think we are poor, or tired, or afraid, or have not been appreciated for past deeds. Instead, we should walk in the steps of Jesus Christ, who went about doing good to all.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*A helping hand, a gift, or a smile best define true love.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *LUKE 9-10*📜📜 The Power Of Love https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 122: SOMEBODY NEEDS YOUR LOVE; GHS 117: SHOW A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE AND KINDNESS; GHS 119: DO SOMETHING FOR OTHERS; GHS 232: BLEST BE THE TIE THAT BINDS; AND GHS 114: BRIGHTEN THE CORNER WHERE YOU ARE* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna6thOctober2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [05/10, 8:05 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```TUESDAY 6TH OCTOBER, 2026``` *WORSHIP MEN'S WORKS? - 2* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🧜🏽‍♀️🧞🧜🏽‍♂️⚠️‼️🛑❌⚖️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:DANIEL 3:13-22```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

Morning Prayer I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. ⏤ Galatians 2:20 Christ is not valued at all, unless He is valued above all. ⏤ Saint Augustine Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer, hear our prayer. You suffered to save us from eternal separation from God. Have mercy on us and bless us. We praise You and worship You, Son of God, who reigns with the Father in heaven. What can we give You for Your great love and sacrifice for us? Your mercy is endless, and Your grace is beyond understanding.

Good morning, brethren. I hope you had a nice weekend. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🌹🎀🎁💝🌺 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. MONDAY OCTOBER 5, 2O26. "POST- TRAUMATIC GROWTH (2)" ‘…God intended it all for good…’ Genesis 50:20 NLT RISING TO a challenge reveals hidden abilities within you that otherwise would have remained dormant. Just as you find out what’s inside a tube of toothpaste when it gets squeezed, adversity reveals what you’re made of. Sometimes we say, ‘I could never go through what that person went through. I would die.’ Then you go through it, and guess what? Your heart keeps beating. Your world goes on. You don’t know what you’re capable of until you have to cope. Wise people have always understood the connection between suffering and growth. Meng Tzu, the Chinese sage, said, ‘When heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on any man it will place obstacles in the path of his deeds so as to stimulate his mind, harden his nature, and improve wherever he is incompetent.’ God could have let Abraham stay in the comfort of Ur, and Moses in the splendour of Pharaoh’s courts. He could have kept Daniel out of the lions’ den, Nehemiah out of captivity, Jonah out of the whale, John the Baptist away from Herod, Esther from being threatened, Jeremiah from being rejected, and Paul from being shipwrecked. But He didn’t. In fact, God used each of these trials to bring them closer to Himself—to produce perseverance, character and hope. It’s said, ‘The school of hard knocks produces the greatest scholars.’ And guess who the teacher is? Adversity! You either face it with God, or without Him. And those without God are watching you. When they see your faith sustain you and God bring you through, they’ll get interested in what you have to say. And not before! Bible In A Year: 2 Sam 7:18 – 11:27, John 2:1-11, Ps 110, Pro 23:6-9.

I had power challenges after returning from a trip yesterday. Every power generating gadget in my house was down and my phone was out of charges. It was a trial I cannot remember to have ever faced. But the Lord has taken the glory. Thank you for your understanding and God bless. [04/10, 7:08 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* MONDAY, 5TH OCTOBER, 2026. *TESTED AND TRIUMPHANT* *TEXT:* MARK 1:9-15. 9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. 10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: 11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 12 And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness. 13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him. 14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. *Timeless Truth:*_"For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin"_ (Hebrews 4:15). *INTRODUCTION* The more sensitive, influential or great a position of responsibility, service or blessing is, the more the stringent conditions for those who will occupy the position. This is true in the world. It is a satanic deception to think that God is so liberal and desperate that He admits every Tom Dick and Harry for His purpose. Before Abraham could be the Father of faith with generational blessings, he passed through protracted uncommon tests and trial of faith. Every person who will be used of God or receive sustained uncommon blessings from God must rise up to live a life that is transparent and sanctified because grace does not replace personal responsibility. *1.Open Heavens for Beloved Children* a. Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, humbled and submitted Himself to water baptism though He was God in human flesh. He gave a strong example that no matter how high we may be, submission to the Word and will of God must be total. Nobody is above the Word of God except the deceived, proud and rebellious. *"Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan"*. b. Humble obedience and submission to the Word and will of God always attract divine blessings. In the case of Jesus, He experienced open heavens in His ministry and gifts of the Holy Spirit. *"He saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him"*. Experiencing open heavens in prayer, gifts and blessings of God cum divine approval and success in life and ministry is conditioned on diligent and humble obedience to His Word and will without being selective. The humble and obedient are always well beloved of God. *"Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased"*. *Question* Are you fully obedient to His Word or are you cheating yourself by being selective? *2. Obedience and Holiness of Baptized Christians* a. Jesus was not led to fast for 40 days and night so as to receive power for miracles. The Holy Spirit had descended on Him like a dove after His water baptism. *"And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him"*. Moses did not fast to receive the power of God. Before he was made to fast for 40 days on mount Sinai God had used him to perform great miracles in Egypt. The same with Elijah who fasted for forty days. Elijah only fasted for forty days towards the end of his ministry after he had commanded fire from heaven and performed many miracles. In fact, Moses and Elijah fasted for 40 days without planning for it. The question is, why was Jesus led to the wilderness? *"And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts"*. To be in a lonely and hidden place is a great temptation for someone with global ministry awaiting Him. For someone with the mighty power of God to be tested to fall down and show He has power is very tempting. For someone who was without food for forty days and being tempted on food matters is hard. So Jesus faced tests on pride of life, lust of the flesh and lust of the eyes. b. At times we are put in a very difficult environment and situation in life to be tested without our knowledge. It is the victorious that would be approved of God for impactful ministry. In the midst of the test, no matter how grievous, God would always give the needed grace to overcome if we are determined to. In the case of Jesus, the ministering of angels was an encouragement for Him to move on. *"And the angels ministered unto him"*. Anybody who falls in the day of tests, trials and temptations has himself to blame for not making use of the grace of God available. *"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it"* (1 Corinthians 10:13). *Question* Are you determined to pass any test and overcome any temptation that may come your way? *3. Overcoming Hindrances to be Best in Your Calling* John the Baptist had been a forerunner of Jesus and he made the work easier for Christ. In fact, some of the disciples of Jesus followed Him because of the testimony of John the Baptist concerning Jesus. But now John the Baptist was put in prison. There are times our obedience to God is threatened by loss of loved ones, unexpected calamity, distracting challenges, disgraceful failures among others. Jesus did not allow that to hinder Him from what God sent Him to do. Jesus, rather than going into hiding because of the hostile environment decided to relocate and still continue with His God- given ministry. *"Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God"*. *Question* What can you learn from Jesus commitment to God's purpose for His life? *Prayer Points* 1.Father, I have resolved to do away with selective obedience for full obedience. Give me abundant grace 🙏. 2.I want to pass my tests and overcome my temptations. Help me to always make use of the means of grace available 🙏. 3.Lord, I want to experience Your manifold blessings all the time. Keep me from acts and thoughts that will deny me free access to the throne of grace 🙏. 4.Give Your children the grace and the humility to always triumph in every test, trials and temptations. *HYMN:* Count Me *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* LUKE 7-8.

When He rose from the waters of baptism, He did not rise alone. The Father and the Holy Spirit united to bear witness to and endorse His earthly life and ministry, ensuring that nothing would hinder heaven's ultimate purpose for mankind.* *Remarkably, Jesus began His ministry only after receiving the Father's approval and the Spirit's empowerment. Heaven opened, the Father spoke, and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in a visible form, establishing for us a divine pattern for ministry. Christ's experience teaches that those called to God's work must first fulfil all righteousness through genuine salvation, scriptural water baptism, sanctification, and then heaven's endorsement through the baptism of the Holy Ghost. This is the way to secure the support of the Trinity and receive the assurance of success in life. Believers must avoid unprepared and presumptuous assumptions of calling or rushing into ministry without getting the endorsement of heaven.* *Just as Jesus overcame Satan's relentless temptations after being empowered by the Spirit, believers can only triumph over the challenges of their calling when clothed with the power of the Holy Ghost. This divine confirmation was not just a declaration; it was heaven's undeniable seal upon Christ's mission. It confirmed that Jesus was not merely another prophet but _The Prophet_ promised by God, the fulfilment of divine prophecy and the embodiment of God's redemptive plan.* *Christ's ministry transcends nations, ethnic groups, and boundaries, reaching every tribe and tongue. His mission was, and still is, for you. No one who calls upon Him is ever rejected, for His heart remains open to all repentant souls seeking His kingdom. Christ has delegated the same power to believers to accomplish and exceed what He was able to accomplish within the short period of His earthly ministry. In Him, we find life, purpose and eternal fulfilment.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*What makes a difference in life is neither skills nor ability, but heaven's endorsement.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *LUKE 7-8*📜📜 Obtain Heaven's Endorsement https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 154: GIVE ME A DOUBLE PORTION; GHS 153: WITH SIGNS FOLLOWING; AND GHS 257: JESUS SEND MORE LABOURERS* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna5thOctober2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [04/10, 7:43 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```MONDAY 5TH OCTOBER, 2026``` *WORSHIP MEN'S WORKS? - 1* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🧜🏽‍♀️🧞🧜🏽‍♂️⚠️‼️🛑❌⚖️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:DANIEL 3:1-12```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up" (DANIEL 3:12).*_ *The Israelites were commanded to bring up their children with religious education based on God's Word, which includes the Ten Commandments.

They stood firm upon God's word in a strange land. The great king, Nebuchadnezzar, made a golden image which everyone in the land should bow to at the hearing of certain music sounds or risk being burnt in the fire. However, all around bowed, except Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.* *All Christians are also expected to worship only God today, no matter the threat.

The Bible gives us many examples of people and nations who were punished by God because of their sins, many among the children of Israel were bitten to death by fiery serpents (Numbers 21:6). The idol-worshipping people of Canaan and their wicked kings were wiped away because they rejected God (Deuteronomy 2:21). Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, ate grass like an animal for seven years (Daniel 4:33), the children who mocked Elisha, the prophet of God, were devoured by bears (2 Kings 2:24). Herod was eaten up of worms (Acts 12:23). God hates and punishes sin. His righteous nature remains the same today. Even though God does not delight in iniquity, yet, God pardons iniquity and He delights in showing mercy. Our Bible passage refers to Him as the only One who pardons iniquity, who passes by the transgression of His heritage, who retains not His anger but delights in mercy and have compassion upon us. *You must repent from your bad ways and ask God for forgiveness.

Morning Prayer for today. MP.i. Morning Prayer And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. ⏤ Colossians 3:17 There is no wonder more supernatural and divine in the life of a believer than the mystery and ministry of prayer. ⏤ A.W. Tozer God, as we start another workweek, we ask for Your blessing. Help us carry the rest and lessons of Sunday with us as we face the busy days ahead. Even if we’re too busy for quiet reflection, may the memories of Sunday inspire us throughout the day. Let the songs and prayers of yesterday keep lifting our hearts as we work. Help us live out what we learned yesterday in our everyday lives. We want our faith to be real in everything we do. We’ve caught glimpses of Your beauty, and now we want that beauty to shine through us. We’ve read Your commandments, and we want to follow them so that our lives reflect Your goodness. But it’s not always easy to do what’s right. We make good resolutions on Sunday, but during the week, it’s easy to forget them and fall back into old habits. We need more of Your grace to help us stay faithful and do our best. Our spirit is willing, but we often struggle to follow through. Strengthen us, God, so we can keep our promises and live out our intentions to obey and serve You. Let the spirit of Sunday carry into our week, making it bright with love, truth, and goodness. Help us not to fail in our work, our duties, or our challenges. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/01/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* SUNDAY 4TH OCTOBER, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* BENEFITS OF GRACE. *TOPIC:* DOMINION. *TEXT:* GENESIS 1:28b-30. Be masters over the fish in the ocean, the birds that fly, and every living thing that crawls on the earth!” Gen 8:17 Gen 9:1-2 Gen 9:7 [Gen 9:1] 29 God also told them, “Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant that grows throughout the earth, along with every tree that grows seed-bearing fruit. They will produce your food. Gen 9:3 Psa 104:14-15 [1Ti 4:3] 30 I have given all green plants as food for every wild animal of the earth, every bird that flies, and to every living thing that crawls on the earth.” And that is what happened. Psa 104:14. *TOPIC:* DOMINION. *THE MESSAGE:* God created everything on earth and entrusted them to man to rule and have dominion over. This dominion implies a partnership between God and humanity, working together to care for the environment and its creatures. It further demonstrates the trust God has in man in saddling him with such a huge responsibility. Sadly, man has failed to keep to this responsibility by mishandling these creatures through bush burning, overhunting, indiscriminate use of herbicides and destruction of other creatures. Thus, some species of animals, insects and plants have become extinct. What can you do to conserve God's creation? Cultivate the habit of planting trees and rearing animals and desist from using harmful chemicals on the soil. Beloved, remember that you will be held accountable for the trust God has placed in you. *REFLECTION:* Handle God's creation with respect. *PRAYER:* Lord, forgive me for not handling Your creation with integrity. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* TITUS 2:11. For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* MATTHEW 11-12. ED.ii. THE SMALL JAR OF OIL "Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left." - 2 Kings 4:7 In this story the widow did not know what to do. She needed money and she could not go anywhere. Both her sons would be taken away from her to work as slaves for the creditor. Nowadays there are also many needs. Financial problems, but also family problems, employment or housing problems, etc. Some people do not have peace in their hearts and are looking for God but do not know how to receive from Him. Today I want to tell you not to be discouraged, because there is a living God who loves you. The prophet asked this woman: 'How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?' The woman replied: 'Your servant has nothing there at all except a small jar of olive oil.' She did not yet know that this small jar was the solution to her problem. The source is within you Today it is exactly the same. You may not know it yet, but the solution to your problem is very close. God does not need great things to do great things. With Moses, God used the staff that was in his hand. For David it was a sling and a stone. That small jar of oil was no longer an ordinary jar when God took hold of it. The little you have is big enough for God to give you your miracle. Most people look for great things for God to work with, but the source is within you, because God lives in you. The widow had to put empty barrels everywhere in her house and then... with her little jar she filled all the barrels with oil. This widow believed the man of God and the oil began to flow because of her faith. An act of faith Through this act of faith, she got rid of all her problems. The message is the same for you today. God also request an act of faith from you. Bring your faith into action and trust His promises. https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. ⏤ Psalm 4:8 Prayer is not learned in a classroom but in the closet. ⏤ E.M. Bounds As this Sunday comes to an end, we come to You, God, with our evening prayers. We’re thankful for everything this day has given us—peace, comfort at home, the chance to worship, and opportunities to help others. Bless all these experiences, and may they stay with us throughout the week. Help us to handle our challenges better, do our work with more joy, and face our difficulties with more confidence because of today’s blessings. We want to grow in grace, learn more about spiritual things, and embrace whatever is good and beautiful. May the rest and teachings of today stay with us—in renewed spiritual energy, in deeper sincerity, and in a stronger desire to do what is right. May the words we’ve read and heard stick with us, helping us to live better lives. Let them comfort us when we’re sad, strengthen us when we’re weak, deepen our understanding, and guide our steps. God, we ask You to bless the work done in churches today. Many ministers have shared the gospel; bless every word spoken in love for Jesus. Let none of the truth shared today be lost. May the Holy Spirit use the sermons, lessons, and conversations to bring good into the world. We also remember our friends and loved ones, and everyone who prays for us. Whatever they need, please bless them. Now, watch over us as we sleep. Cover us with Your love and keep us safe. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/00/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good morning, brethren. I hope you woke up safely. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🌺🌹🎁🎀💝 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. SUNDAY OCTOBER 4, 2O26. "POST TRAUMATIC GROWTH (1)" Despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ…’  Romans 8:37 NLT JUST AS there is a condition known as ‘post-traumatic stress,’ researchers are now talking about ‘post-traumatic growth.’ One line of thinking is that adversity can lead to growth. Another is that the highest levels of growth cannot be achieved without adversity. But adversity doesn’t automatically bring growth. Much of the outcome depends on how you respond to adversity. Ernest Hemingway wrote, ‘Sooner or later, the world breaks everyone, and those who are broken are strongest in the broken places.’ Sometimes that’s true. But sometimes people write beautiful things and believe them to be true—or hope they’re true—and yet they don’t help. Hemingway himself had a brokenness that ended his life because the pain was too great. On the other hand Joseph, who was betrayed by his family, falsely accused of rape and unjustly imprisoned, looked back and said, ‘…God intended it all for good…’ (Genesis 50:20 NLT). The key to post-traumatic growth is in seeing God in all things, drawing close to Him, trusting Him when you can’t understand the situation, and knowing He only has your best interests at heart. When it comes to serving God there are two sides to the coin: success and suffering. We like the first, and try to avoid the second. But they’re both part of God’s plan. God called Paul into the ministry, saying, ‘I will show him how much he must suffer for my name’s sake’ (Acts 9:16 NLT). But hard times didn’t make Paul doubt his faith, or the God he served: ‘No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

Sorry for not sending the Daily Manna Devotional for today. MD.ii. OPEN HEAVEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: SUNDAY 4TH OF OCTOBER 2026 THEME: WILL YOU BE READY? I MEMORISE: Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Acts 1-11 READ: 2 Peter 3:3-14 3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. MESSAGE: One of the reasons I spent three years studying Elijah was that he was gloriously taken to heaven without having to taste death. If I could have my way, I also would prefer not to die but rather be raptured (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). Ever since I have learnt of the rapture, my prayer every night before I sleep has been, “Lord, if You return before tomorrow, please don't leave me behind." The realisation that tomorrow may never come, and that the Lord may return before sunrise, has kept me on my toes since I surrendered my life to Jesus. He can even come this very night. It is clearly written in Luke 17:34 that two people will be on the same bed; one will be taken, and the other will be left behind. If Jesus returns tonight, will you be with Him in glory, or will you be left behind? Today, I will discuss three out of six crucial things you should know about the Lord's second coming. The remaining three will be discussed tomorrow. 1. It is in two phases: The first phase is the rapture when Jesus descends from heaven to receive believers who have died and those who are still alive unto Himself (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). The second phase is His glorious return, which all eyes shall behold (Revelation 1:7, Revelation 19:11-16). 2. It is imminent:Although it may seem delayed, Jesus will return soon. Ignore people who speak and act as if He will never return. Peter already spoke about them in today's Bible reading, how they will arise in the last days to challenge this truth. Sadly, many pastors have not preached about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ in years. Beloved, don't lose focus; keep in mind that Jesus' return is closer than you think. I know His coming seems to be delayed, but God's measurement of time is different from man's measurement, as today's Bible reading also tells us. 3. It is certain: Jesus' return is certain, and there is nothing anyone can do to change it. Today's Bible reading also tells us that the Lord is not slack concerning His promise. He has promised to return, and it is certain that He will (Acts 1:10-11). In Matthew 24:4-51, Jesus gave us numerous signs of His coming, and one of the prominent signs is that many deceivers will arise and many will be deceived. I pray that you will not be deceived in any way, in Jesus' name. REFLECTION: How prepared are you for Jesus' second coming? BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Matthew 7-9 AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE HYMN 15: PASS ME NOT, O GENTLE SAVIOUR 1.Pass me not, O gentle Savior Hear my humble cry While on others Thou art calling Do not pass me by. CHORUS: Saviour, Saviour Hear my humble cry While on others Thou art calling Do not pass me by. 2.Let me at Thy throne of mercy Find a sweet relief; Kneeling there in deep contrition Help my unbelief. 3.Trusting only in Thy merit Would I seek Thy face Heal my wounded, broken spirit, Save me by Thy grace. 4.Thou, the spring of all my comfort More than life to me Whom have I on earth beside Thee Whom in Heav'n but Thee? 2. Morning Prayer for today. MP.i. Morning Prayer Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. ⏤ Exodus 20:8 The Sabbath is the link between the paradise which has passed away and the paradise which is yet to come. ⏤ Andrew Murray Dear God, we start this Sunday with You. It’s Your day, and we want to honor that. You’ve given us this day not as a burden but as a gift. We need the rest to stay healthy, and we need the spiritual refreshment to keep our hearts warm and full of love. Without this day, we might forget to keep You at the center of our lives. So we’re grateful for this day that You’ve set aside for us. Please make this Sunday a day full of blessings. Help us to focus on You and let go of the world’s distractions. Let us hear Your gentle voice in the quiet moments, reminding us of Your love. Fill our home with Your peace. Our minds have been stressed and overwhelmed by the week’s demands. Give us Your calm this morning. Take away our worries and anxieties. If the world has taken too much of our focus, let Your grace take over so that You are at the center of our lives again. Strengthen our love for You, so it pushes out any love for things that don’t matter. Bless everything about this day. As we read Your word, help us understand it and let its teachings guide our lives. As we pray, may we receive the blessings we need: comfort when we’re sad, strength when we’re weak, guidance when we’re unsure, and wisdom when we don’t know what to do. As we try to be a blessing to others, help us to have the same mindset as Jesus. We ask all this in Jesus' name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/00/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion. NB.

Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* SATURDAY 3RD OCTOBER, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* BENEFITS OF GRACE. *TOPIC:* PROCREATION. *TEXT:* GENESIS 1:28-29a. 28 God blessed the humans by saying to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it! Be masters over the fish in the ocean, the birds that fly, and every living thing that crawls on the earth!” Gen 8:17 Gen 9:1-2 Gen 9:7 [Gen 9:1] 29 God also told them, “Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant that grows throughout the earth, along with every tree that grows seed-bearing fruit. *TOPIC:* PROCREATION. *THE MESSAGE:* Creation is the work of God. He created everything, including man. He graciously involves man in the work of creation through procreation. Man is blessed and given the mandate to "Be fruitful and increase in number..." The human ability to procreate reflects God's creative power and authority bestowed upon them. By producing offspring, man is participating in creation and fulfilling his mandate to fill the earth. This divine mandate is an immeasurable favour. However, man has abused this privilege in many ways. Deliberate termination of pregnancies, gay marriages and lesbianism are not consonant with God's plan for humanity. Wanton killing of human beings is wickedness at its highest level. It is against God's plan for multiplication. Do not thwart God's plan for procreation. *REFLECTION:* It is an honour for man to produce his kind. *PRAYER:* Thank You, oh Lord, for involving me in Your procreative work. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* TITUS 2:11. For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* MATTHEW 8-10. ED.ii. WE WILL HONESTLY SHARE EVERYTHING "So David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep." - 1 Samuel 30:4 In this story we read that David and his men came back from the battle and discovered that their city was burned down. The enemy took all women and children captive. There was no welcome when David's warriors returned from the battle. As they realized that all their loved ones were taken captive, they cried out in grief until they had no strength left to cry. The men were also angry with David and wanted to stone him. David, however, continued to trust in God and asked Him: 'Should I pursue this gang? Shall I catch up with them?' God answered him: 'Pursue them… You will certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue.' Go faithfully into battle When the Lord Jesus says: 'go', we must go to win as with Him we are more than conquerors. If the evil one has stolen your husband, wife or child from you, God also tells you: 'Pursue and believe that you will overcome.' David set off with 600 men and left 200 men in the Besor Valley because these 200 men were too exhausted. The remaining 400 men were helped by an Egyptian slave. David and his men attacked the partying gang and saved everything and everybody which had been stolen from them. When David and his men came back to the Besor Valley with the plunder, the 400 men did not want to share the big plunder with the others who were waiting. However, David said in verses 23-24: 'No, my brothers, you must not do that with what the Lord has given us. He has protected us and delivered into our hands the raiding party that came against us… The share of the man who stayed with the supplies is to be the same as that of him who went down to the battle. All will share alike.' Today we would say: 'We will honestly share everything.' It is the desire of the Lord Jesus that we share in His glory. That is why He went to Calvary. We did not deserve it, but Jesus did everything so He can share His glory with us. As you received this from Him, you must share it with others. https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ: ⏤ Ephesians 1:3 Our hearts overflow when we remember the family we have in Him. ⏤ Charles Spurgeon O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and our Father, we come to You with love and faith this evening. Please graciously forgive all our sins, which are many, and give us Your peace. We belong to You as Your children, and we owe You the best honor, obedience, and service that we can give. Help us to fulfill our obligations and meet our responsibilities. We thank You for Your goodness to us throughout this past week. You have showered us with blessings from Your bountiful hand. You have given us many favors, some of which have come in the form of trials, burdens, disappointments, and losses. But we know that these are also gifts from You, meant to bring good and blessing into our lives. Give us the grace to accept whatever You send, knowing that Your love can only give us what is ultimately good for us. Even if the cup is bitter, help us to accept it with faith. We long for deeper and richer blessings for our home. We want to become more like our Savior. May our home life be filled with sanctifying influences. May our human love for each other deepen our love for You. Help us to live together with patience, thoughtfulness, and unselfishness, always seeking to do good to one another. Come and be our guest, O Lord, just as You were a guest in the home at Bethany, bringing comfort, love, and blessing. Come and bless our home in the same way. Bless each of us with Your presence, both now and for eternity. We ask this in Your precious name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/90/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good morning, brethren. I hope we had a nice night rest! 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀💝🌺🎁🌹🎀 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. SATURDAY OCTOBER 3, 2O26. "ARE YOU HEARING FROM GOD?" 'Then Moses said to the Lord'...Exodus 33:12 NKJV THROUGHOUT THE book of Exodus we read these two statements: ‘The Lord said to Moses,’ and ‘Moses said to the people.’ There’s an important lesson here. Until you have heard from God, what do you have to say to anybody else that’s worth consideration? Does that mean God won’t use your brain? No, when your thoughts and desires are submitted to Him He will actually think and speak through you. What a privilege. The trouble is, we want to speak without first consulting God and hearing from Him. The people Moses had been called to lead hadn’t heard from God for four hundred years. After ten generations of living without God’s Word, can you imagine the shape they were in spiritually? If you want to know how such a mindset will act, look at their responses every time they had a problem in the wilderness. They wanted to go back to the security of Egypt! This is one of the dangers you will face as a leader. You must love people and listen to them, but you must be led only by God. And unless you know God intimately, when times get tough people will take you back to what’s familiar and comfortable to them. When people want to go back to their old way of doing things, it’s usually because they don’t know God well enough. The litmus test of spiritual leadership is found in the ability to hear from God, and then to teach people to love God, to discern His will, and begin to walk according to it! Bible In A Year: 2 Sam 1:1 – 3:21, John 1:29-42, Ps 131, Pro 23:1-3.

[02/10, 8:39 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* SATURDAY, 3RD OCTOBER, 2026. *KEEP MOVING FORWARD* *TEXT:* NUMBERS 21:10-20. 10 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth. 11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising. 12 From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared. 13 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. 14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon, 15 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab. 16 And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water. 17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it: 18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah: 19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth: 20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon. *Timeless Truth:* _"Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."_ (Philippians 3:13,14). *INTRODUCTION* The forward movement—often referred to as the "advance" or maintaining momentum—is a fundamental tenet of military strategy, tactics and doctrine. In military operations, moving forward is not just about changing geographic location; it is about seizing the initiative, dictating the terms of engagement and forcing the enemy to react. Moving forward, regardless of setbacks and disappointments, is the secret of advancement, promotion, progress, achievements and even healthy living. Paul the Apostle wrote about one thing he always did and that was to put behind the progress and the defeats of the past and moved on to greater heights. Man is created to be mobile and not to be stagnant. Stagnant rivers are not useful to the healthy living of mankind. Stagnant lives cannot glorify God in any way. *1. Temptation of Being Tied to the Past* a. Israel had experienced rough times in the wilderness for 40 years before this text. The loss of most of their loved leaders, like Aaron, the deadly bites of snakes due to their murmuring, the hostile and violent surrounding nations, lack of water and satisfactory food, coupled with the rough terrain of the wilderness. To compound their problems, the journeys for 40 years were not progressive, but were just moving round in the wilderness. All these were some of the things that could have made them build their tents in the wilderness with resignation to their fate and discouragement. b. It is dangerous to allow past success or failures to make someone sit at the same spot without advancing. A car, packed for a long time will rust away. A brain that is not being exercised will deteriorate in intelligence. Many past knowledge and technology have become obsolete today. Due to the success of the past, David decided to stay at home while others went for war. He fell into deep sin and the rest is history. The young prophet in 1 Kings 13 decided to take a pleasurable rest after a great victory and he ended up being killed by a lion. After withstanding and overcoming the adversary, the command is to stand and be on the move waiting for another battle (Ephesians 6:13). *Question* Are you aspiring for greater knowledge, gifts, anointing, exploits or are satisfied with stagnancy? *2. Timely Tactics of Progress* The children of Israel did not allow all those setbacks to discourage them from moving forward to possess their possessions. *"And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth"*. "If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward" (Martin Luther King Jr). When man disappointed God in the Garden of Eden and it appeared God's plan would be frustrated, God focused on His lofty eternal goals and kept moving. When the journey to Calvary looked unbearable, Jesus was focused and got going without giving in to weariness. The secret of Gideon with his very few soldiers in conquering a massive array of soldiers was in keeping going forward when the going became tough. *"And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them"* (Judges 8:4). It is not the beginning of the Christian race that matters most, but whether you are able to complete it. *"He that endureth unto the end the same shall be saved"*. In order to endure to the end, you must keep making advancement in every area. There is no successful race without continuous advancements and progress inspite of all odds. *Question* Do you have an advancement mentality? *3. Triumphant Treat and Provision* When God is happy with someone, divine blessings follow. They were used to murmurings anytime they were in want of food and water. They eventually, learnt their lesson the hard way. The 40 years of punishment in the wilderness had taught them to always look up to God when there was a need. In fact, this time around they enjoyed divine provision without even asking for it because they kept on moving along the path of obedience. God told Moses, *"Gather the people together, and I will give them water"*. They rejoiced at the timely divine provision. *"Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it"*. There is always a well of water prepared for those who keep moving against all odds towards God's plan and purpose for their lives. *Question* Mention two scriptures that guarantee that God will care and supply our needs when we are in the path of obedience. *Prayer Points* 1.Father, forgive me for all my inactivity, laziness and stagnation and give me a new spirit 🙏. 2.Give me faith and courage that will never give up the heavenly pursuit 🙏. 3.Help all Your children with power and determination to endure the race to the end 🙏. 4.Give strength to all Your children who are cast down and lift them up to action again 🙏. *HYMN:* Never Give Up *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* LUKE 1-2 [02/10, 8:39 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DAILY Ⓜ️ANNA - (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR ADULTS) SATURDAY 3RD OCTOBER, 2026``` *SET FORWARD* 📓📖🎚️🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🔜🆙🔝👣🛣️🔚👑🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:NUMBERS 21:10-20```📜📜 🔑📖```KEY VERSE:``` _*"And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth" (NUMBERS 21:10).*_ *Boxing is one game that many decent minds disagree should be rightly called a sport. The deliberate inflicting of injuries on one another in the quest for praise or payment can only appeal to the beastly instinct in man. But there is one lesson professional boxers are taught which is valuable for us all. They are taught not to retreat but to move forward when in the ring.* *In our text, it was said of the children of Israel that they 'set forward...' The significance of the statement becomes clearer when it is recalled that they had just suffered a serious setback in their progress towards the Promised Land. In their weariness as they marched from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea, they murmured against God and Moses, discrediting the gracious provision of manna that the Lord made for them. The righteous judgement of God came upon them for this. Fiery serpents got in their midst and bit many to death. Upon their repentance and Moses' intercession, the Lord pardoned them and initiated the remedy of the brazen serpent, on which if any victim of the snake bite looked, he was cured.* *At this juncture in their journey, they probably would have felt reluctant to move on, at least for the time being. But they set forward! Forward is upward and is the secret of success in every sphere of life. Apostle Paul was conscious of this when he wrote: 'I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus' (Philippians 3:13, 14). Their recall of God's past goodness at this instance and their songs of victory indicate they made the most of the divine discipline.* *Have you faced a setback recently? Are you tempted to give up because of what you see as unfair treatment? Are past experiences weighing you down? Are you losing motivation for the race? Take a cue from Israel: look up and press on.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*Whatever you've got, whatever you've lost, the real trophy is ahead - press forward!*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *LUKE 3-4*📜📜 Set Forward https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 27: I AM BOUND FOR CANAAN; GHS 179: HIGHER GROUND; AND GHS 79: THE WAY OF THE CROSS LEADS HOME* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna3rdOctober2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [02/10, 8:39 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```SATURDAY 3RD OCTOBER, 2026``` *FORBIDDEN FRIENDSHIPS - 1* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️👥🫂🤝⚠️‼️🛑❌🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:GENESIS 34:1-7```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land" (GENESIS 34:1).*_ *In the _Oxford English Reader_ used by Primary Six in the 1960s, a story was told about some Massai hunters.

He wants to live a healthy and happy life all the time with everybody around loving and caring for him. You wish that everyone would give you gifts, smile at you, and praise you. Also, every child wishes to understand all his subjects and pass his examinations in first position. That is why they are always sad when disappointments and problems come their way. However, life is not always so beautiful. Things don't always work well all the time, at least, not in this world. Yet, you should give God the glory and please Him more through what you say and do in your time of trouble and disappointment. The woman in our Bible passage had only one son. That was after she had been barren many years. God had to intervene through His servant, Elisha, before she could give birth to this one. But sadly, that child died. She was speaking in faith, believing God was able to make all things well again. *In your time of trouble, when it appears as if everything is working against you, go to God in prayer believing, and He will cause all things to be well with your soul. He will bless you and be gracious to you.* 🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥 ```🅿️rayer:``` _*Lord, hear my prayer and cause everything to work well with me even in my time of difficulties.*_ 🙏🏽 ```📖 Further Reading:``` *Numbers 6:24-26* Is It Well? https://dailymanna.app// *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#SincereMilk3rdOctober2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS]. 2. Morning Prayer for today. MP.i. Morning Prayer And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. ⏤ Galatians 4:6 As His children, we walk in the light of His love, reflecting His glory. ⏤ Oswald Chambers O God, our heavenly Father, we bless You for the way You have revealed Your love to us through Jesus Christ. He has taught us to call You our Father, showing us that You love us with all the tenderness of a father’s heart. Your care for us is constant, and we enjoy all the privileges of being Your children. Help us also to be faithful children—obedient, trusting, loyal, and true. We thank You, Father, for Your goodness and mercy throughout the night, and for all Your kindness toward us. Give us hearts full of gratitude so that we may never fail to recognize Your hand in the blessings we receive. May Your goodness lead us to live more carefully, avoiding sin and unbelief. Keep our hearts open to the gentle influences of Your love. We remember before You all the needs of Your church. Bless everyone who has confessed Your name, and give them the grace to remain faithful and true in all their ways. Lead Your people into holier living, deeper experiences of Your love, more earnestness in serving You, and fuller consecration to Your work. Give Your church greater power and influence in the world. We also ask that our home may be filled with more of Your grace. Whatever is not in line with Your will, help us to bring it into harmony with You. May we be drawn closer together in true affection. Help us live together with love, patience, and unselfishness, so that Jesus would feel at home in our midst. We ask all these blessings and mercies in Jesus Christ’s precious name.

ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* FRIDAY 2ND OCTOBER, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* BENEFITS OF GRACE. *TOPIC:* BEING A LIVING SOUL. *TEXT:* GENESIS 2:7-8. 7. Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. 1Co 15:45 1Co 15:47 [Job 10:9] [Ecc 12:7] [Act 17:25] 8. Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there He put the man He had formed. [Eze 31:8] *TOPIC:* BEING A LIVING SOUL. *THE MESSAGE:* God formed man from the dust. He then breathed the breath of life into his nostrils and man became a living soul. Having the image of God and breath of life is a demonstration of God's grace to man. The fact that you are living today is all about God. However, many people believe that being alive is a result of their efforts, and therefore, they can do whatever they want with their lives. This notion is not true. Your life is in God's hands. No matter how much you try, unless God wills, your breath can cease at any moment. Human life is sacred such that no one has the power to terminate it, whether yours or another's. Live a purposeful life to honour God and impact others, knowing that you shall account to Him what you did while in this body. *REFLECTION:* Respect the sanctity of life. *PRAYER:* Thank You, Lord, for giving me life. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* TITUS 2:11. For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* MATTHEW 5-7. ED.ii. SHAKE IT OFF "If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet." - Matthew 10:14 I often say: 'If you don't want to be criticized, don't say anything, don't be anyone and don't do anything.' If you say something, if you are somebody or you do something, you will get criticism for sure. Sometimes it is right, but often it is unjust criticism. There are many people who want to put you down by criticizing you. You might think that there is also constructive criticism. However, most of the time criticism is not given to build you up, but to break you; not to bless, but to discourage you. Unjust criticism causes a lot of pain and sorrow and mostly comes from jealousy, a spirit of envy. It means that you have something I want. The person who is so critical, wants to be like you or if possible, surpass you. That is what it is about. Instead, this person should say: 'Lord, I thank You for blessing him or her so much. Will You please also do this for me?' The more successful you are, the more criticism you will get. It is also very Dutch to not appreciate others when they get blessed. However, say today: 'I shake it off. I put it in the hands of the Lord. As a child of God, I want to bless other people. If God blesses someone else, I want to be happy for that person.' Often, God wants to bless us with abundance and He tests whether we can bear that blessing. Are you still jealous when God blesses someone else? Don't you understand God when that person receives what you have been praying for? Then repent! Are you still bothered by the criticism others have for you? Shake it off! Do not fight back, because you might get an awful and unclean heart like the person who is hurting you. Let God be your mediator. Let Him prove that it is not true. Keep your eyes on Him and He will make all things right. https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. ⏤ Philippians 4:7 In His peace, our hearts find their home, untouched by the storm. ⏤ J.R. Miller The day is done, Father, and we bring it to You. Please bless it. As it is folded away with all past days, to remain closed until the books are opened, pass Your cleansing hand over it, and seal it with Your grace. Bless all we have done, forgive our sins, and sanctify all our experiences. Make our hearts clean and strengthen our souls. We ask for Your rich blessings upon our home and family life. You created the home; the family is Your design. So, we ask with confidence that You make our home pleasing to You, filled with love, fellowship, and all that is good. Bless each of us, young and old. Guide our family in the future, helping the young to grow in divine beauty, making our home a place that reflects Heaven. Help us make our home welcoming, loving, and a source of holy influence. We bring all our concerns to You—our work, our household chores, our studies, our friendships, our hopes, plans, and fears. Grant Your grace upon all these things. We pray for the responsibilities You have given us, especially those related to Your kingdom. Help us be faithful in every duty, and may nothing suffer under our care. Almighty and most merciful Father, we commend ourselves and all who are dear to us into Your hands. Tenderly care for the elderly, have pity on the weak and tempted, show mercy to the fallen, comfort the sorrowing, and bless the sick and those who care for them. Hear us, O God.

"SUFFRING WITH GRACE" 'For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ…to suffer…’ Philippians 1:29 NKJV YOU NEED the kind of faith that not only believes God for good things, but also sustains you through bad things. The Bible says, ‘…If you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don’t worry or be afraid…Instead…worship Christ as Lord of your life…’ (1 Peter 3:14-15 NLT). God has foresight but we have only hindsight. So whether the path you’ve been called to walk is rough or smooth, your attitude should be one of ‘worship,’ acknowledging ‘Christ as Lord of your life.’ Joseph’s kidnapping led to the saving of his family. The lions’ den led Daniel to a cabinet position. Christ entered the world by a surprise pregnancy and redeemed it through an unjust murder. Do you believe what the Bible teaches—that no disaster is ultimately fatal? Chrysostom did. He was the archbishop of Constantinople from AD 398 to 404. He gained a following by his eloquent denunciations of corruption in the church. Twice banished by the authorities, he asked: ‘What can I fear? Will it be death? But to know that Christ is my life, and that I shall gain by death. Will it be exile? But the earth is the Lord’s and its fullness is the Lord’s. Will it be by loss of wealth? But we have brought nothing into the world, and we can carry nothing out. Thus all the terrors of the world are contemptible in my eyes; and I smile at all its good things. Poverty I do not fear; riches I do not sigh for. Death I do not shrink from.’ That’s suffering with grace! Bible In A Year: Eph 4:17 – 6:24, John 1:14-28, Ps 29, Pro 22:26-29.

[01/10, 9:54 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* FRIDAY, 2ND OCTOBER, 2026. *RESTORATION BY GRACE* *TEXT:* HOSEA 2:16-23. 16 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali. 17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name. 18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely. 19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. 20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD. 21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth; 22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel. 23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God. *Timeless Truth:*_"Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come"_ (1 Corinthians 10:11). *INTRODUCTION* The primary audience of the Old Testament writings was Israel. However, the messages also had future prophecies and implications for their good. Beyond that, they are written for nations in the New Testament so that they can know the nature of God and be able to walk with Him. This is premised on the ground that God is immortal. His character and nature do not change. So, for us as individuals, families and nations, we have many things to learn about God, His plan for the future and His ways in dealing with mankind. *1. Restored Relationship* a. The idol worshippers, worship their idols as a god to be feared with no personal relationship. God wants us to see Him, differently. He wants us to be in a relationship with him. It is not about religion, but about a personal relationship with Him. What will mark the restoration of Israel will be a restored relationship where *"thou shalt call me Ishi (husband) and shalt call me no more Baali (threatening lord)*. Some people use the name of their gods to name their children and in their interactions with people. When Israel is restored, they would use the name of God to name their children and possessions. This is total restoration when God is brought into view in all relationships and activities. *"For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name"*. b. God used the metaphor of husband and wife to describe His relationship with restored Israel. The relationship of husband and wife is the strongest relationship on earth. *"And I will betroth thee unto me for ever"*. The full character and nature of God: righteousness, justice, lovingkindness and mercy will be involved showing that the relationship will be totally and perfectly involving. *"Yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies"*. *Question* Do you have this kind of total and perfect involving sonship relationship with God or are you just practicing religion? How can one have a son-father relationship with God? *2. Reliable Rest* God's order is relationship with Him first, then other blessings follow. In this case God will make a covenant of total and full security with restored Israel. The beasts will not be able to harm man any more, the fowls of heaven will all be friendly and the creeping animals will no longer be a threat to any man including babies. *"I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground"*. Furthermore, there will be no fear of aggressors, terrorists or any form of attack. *"And I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely"*. Israel experienced this in the wilderness except when they sinned. This will fully be realized again during the millennial reign of Christ. Israel will only enjoy all these as soon as they are in a righteous relationship with God. b. Believers who have a genuine relationship with God have this privilege and are to enjoy them now. Protection from dangerous humans and real animals, security from all attacks are their portion regardless of what may be happening in the earth. *Question* Do you have assurance of a son-Father relationship with God? Are you aware that the evils and insecurities that the ungodly suffer are not meant for you based on your relationship with God? *3. Rich Resources* Relationship with God guarantees divine security and opens the doors to prosperity, whether physical or spiritual. God promised *"I will hear the heavens"* and supply rain; *"and they shall hear the earth"* and the earth will produce *"corn, and the wine, and the oil"* and instead of being judged as Jezreel, their status will drastically change they shall hear Jezreel. *"And I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God"*. Abundant of blessings and all kinds of breakthroughs will be opened to all those who come into relationship with God through repentance and acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Saviour. The text teaches that God will always show abundant mercy and grace to those who have fallen deep into the miry, murky and dirty water of sin, but returned to God for a sonship relationship. No case is hopeless with the returning backslidder. *Question* What do you do to receive an abundance of physical and spiritual blessings from God? *Prayer Points* 1.Praise God for giving us the Holy Bible to reveal His ways to mankind 🙏. 2.If you are already a child of God, pray that God will help you so that your relationship with Him will grow deeper and closer 🙏. 3.Ask God for faith to always claim all those entitlements for those who have a relationship with Him 🙏. 4.Ask God for full restoration for those who have backslidden privately or openly in the Church, that the power of God will reach out to them and bring them out from the deep dirty water 🙏. *HYMN:* *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* LUKE 1-2 [01/10, 9:54 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DAILY Ⓜ️ANNA - (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR ADULTS) FRIDAY 2ND OCTOBER, 2026``` *RENEWED INTIMACY WITH GOD* 📓📖🎚️🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🗣️🙏🏽🙌🏽 📜📜```TEXT:HOSEA 2:16-23```📜📜 🔑📖```KEY VERSE:``` _*"And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD" (HOSEA 2:19, 20).*_ *The prophecy of Hosea portrays God's relationship with His people as a marriage filled with love, commitment, and, unfortunately, also a cycle of unfaithfulness. In our text, God shares a promise of restoration alongside His earlier warnings of judgement.* *Israel was depicted as the unfaithful wife of Jehovah, having wandered into idolatry. The nation broke its covenant with God, wrongly attributing their blessings to the idols they worshipped. They overlooked God as the source of their provision and prosperity. As a result, God warned them that He would take away the blessings they had wrongly credited to idols until they turned back to Him. However, the story didn't end with judgement. God promised that when they repent, He would restore and rekindle a close relationship with them.* *Once some people experience success today, they forget that the source is none other than Almighty God. Many today often credit their achievements to their hard work or the people God has placed in their lives to help them, thereby denying God the glory He rightfully deserves. Yet, God calls us to repentance and a renewed closeness with Him. He longs for us to turn away from misplaced priorities and return to a faithful relationship with Him.* *As Christians, the example of Israel serves as both a warning and a source of encouragement. If we, therefore, must break free from the destructive cycle of judgement, we must prioritise a consistent relationship with God through daily communion, prayer, and obedience. Furthermore, if we avoid attitudes and actions that grieve the heart of God, such as pride, ingratitude, and idolatry - we can walk consistently with Him.* *The promise of renewed intimacy, as expressed in today's text, underscores God's deep longing to restore His wayward people. Just as Israel was promised a renewed covenant relationship where they would again be called God's people, we are invited into a profound intimacy with God through Jesus Christ. As recipients of the Spirit of sonship, we can proclaim "Abba, Father" as we enjoy a closeness with God that transcends the failings of the past.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*God writes His judgements with restoration in view.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *LUKE 1-2*📜📜 Renewed Intimacy With God https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 86: NOTHING BETWEEN; GHS 168: I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR; AND GHS 227: NEARER, MY GOD TO THEE* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna2ndOctober2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [01/10, 9:54 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*(SINCERE MILK: Children Daily Devotional Guide 2⃣0⃣2⃣6️⃣)*_ 🙇🏼🙇🏼🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇🏼🙇‍♀️🙇🏼🙇‍♀️🙇🏼‍♂️ ```FRIDAY 2ND OCTOBER, 2026``` *THE FRUIT OF YOUR LIPS* 📓📖🎚️🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️👄🗣️🎼🎶🎵🎹🎷🎺🪊🪗🪉🎻🪈🙏🏽🙌🏽 📜📜```HEBREWS 13:15-17```📜📜 🕔📚🖋️🚻😁🎼🏆🍉🪴🌈💻 🔑📖 ```Key Verse:``` _*"By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name" (Hebrews 13:15).*_ 📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖 How do you feel when you eat sweet and nourishing fruits like mango, pineapple, apple and nuts? As fruit is pleasant to our taste, so does praise gladdens God's heart. You are always delighted when you get some sweet fruits to eat. God is always glad when He hears the voices of His people singing His praise. It is recommended that you eat fruits regularly. It is commanded that we should praise and thank the Lord at all times. Your lips are compared to a good tree that produces fruits to nourish mankind. Praise to God comes in many forms: singing songs, telling the story of His goodness to us, sharing the story of His salvation to bring others to Him. Living a righteous life that honours God's Name, obeying His servants who preach to us, and by showing kindness to those in need; all these activities are fruits of a godly life that brings praise to the Lord and please Him. *Is your life full of praises to God?

Morning Prayer for today. MP.i. Morning Prayer If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ⏤ 1 John 1:9 Forgiveness is the grace that draws us close, keeping us humble and pure. ⏤ F.B.

We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/89/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *WELCOME TO OCTOBER, 2026.* *SUB-THEME:* BENEFITS OF GRACE. *INTRODUCTION:* Grace is the unmerited favour of God - freely given, never earned and richly available to all who believe in Christ Jesus. It is a divine expression of God's love, kindness towards humanity. Beyond being a gift, grace is a powerful force that brings numerous blessings and advantages into the life of a believer. This month, under the sub-theme "THE BENEFITS OF GRACE," we will explore the many ways God's grace enriches, empowers and transforms our lives. As you reflect on each day's topic, open your heart to the blessings of grace and allow its benefits to shape your walk with God. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* TITUS 2:11. For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. *DATE:* THURSDAY 1ST OCTOBER, 2026. *TEXT:* GENESIS 1:26-27. 26. Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27. So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them. *TOPIC:* MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE. *THE MESSAGE:* Man is the only creature created in the image and likeness of God. What an honour! To be made in the image and likeness of God means humans: (i) Possess spirit, reflecting God's spiritual nature (Jn. 4:24), (ii) Have the capacity for rational thinking and decision making, manifesting God's wisdom and intelligence (Ps. 8:3-5), (iii) Have the ability to make moral choices, distinguish right from wrong, as well as relate well with God. Child of God, these are the privileges God bestowed on you. Alas, some misuse these privileges to indulge in evil instead of doing what is right and good. Do not abuse God's inherent qualities in you. Cultivate a high regard and honour for Him at all times. *REFLECTION:* You are wonderfully made. *PRAYER:* Thank You Lord, for creating me in Your image and likeness. Amen. *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* MATTHEW 1-4. ED.ii. PREPARATION FOR PRAYER "Whenever they enter the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water so that they will not die. Also, when they approach the altar to minister by presenting a food offering to the Lord." - Exodus 30:20 Friends, praying is a holy task and it is to be performed in a holy manner. If that does not happen, God will not be happy with our prayer. You can notice when people come unprepared to the prayer meeting. Aaron and his sons were allowed to come to the altar to perform their duties as priests. They brought the sacrifices and mediated between God and the people. A Divine calling They owed their task to a Divine calling. They were chosen and sanctified by God. God wanted them to prepare well before they approached the altar. They had to wash themselves from the filth of this world before they did their work in the Holy Place. They would even die if they did not go first to the wash basin. Priests and priestesses The priesthood as it was then does not exist anymore, because God has introduced the priesthood for all believers. In 1 Peter 2:9 we read: 'But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.' This means we are all called to serve. When we come to the prayer meeting, we are priests and priestesses serving in the Holy Place. You are also a priest by Divine calling. We cannot serve at the altar or in the Holy Place if we have not first been at the copper wash basin. Ephesians 5:25-26 says: 'As Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the Word.' So, if there are things which are not right in God's eyes, you have to deal with them before you pray. Make sure you come well-prepared to the prayer meeting. https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. ⏤ Mark 10:15 Rest in His arms with childlike faith, and peace will fill your heart. ⏤ Corrie Ten Boom Our Father in Heaven, we come to You tonight with the confidence of children, calling You “Abba, Father.” Teach us to love You and trust You more deeply. Fill our hearts with the spirit of adoption. We thank You for the privileges we enjoy as Your children. Help us to fully understand and appreciate them. Reveal Your love to us more and more. Though we cannot see You, and sometimes we struggle to believe in Your love, make this precious truth known to us, and may Your love be poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. We are grateful for all the blessings You have given us—for the good things of Your providence and the even greater things of Your grace. We thank You for our home and its warm affection. We thank You for our friends and all the blessings of friendship. We thank You for our children and their sweetness and beauty. We thank You for schools, books, and teachers. We thank You for Your church, with its sacraments, fellowship, and the many ways it helps us. As another day comes to an end, we ask for Your blessing. Accept all the work we’ve done today and bless it. Forgive us our sins, and strengthen us so that we may not sin against You so easily. Help us live in this world as pilgrims, just passing through on our way to our heavenly home. Yet, while we are here, help us live well, using the world but not abusing it, leaving a blessing behind us. Lead us onward, and when life’s last day comes, bring us to the end in peace and into the eternal life of Heaven, through Jesus Christ our Redeemer. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/88/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🌹🎀🎁💝🌺 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. THURSDAY OCTOBER 1, 2O26. "BE THEIR GUIDING LIGHT" …Let your light shine…’ Matthew 5:16 NIV EVERY CHILD, including yours, is born ‘lost’ into a world of moral and spiritual darkness. So parent, your most urgent responsibility is to be their guiding light. Paul Harvey told of a hard-drinking father who left his adolescent son in a pick-up truck and went into a bar for a drink. Two hours later, Dad lumbered back to the truck, finding his boy missing. Later, in the bar, he found his son in the company of a couple of inebriated young lads who’d got him drunk. In the ensuing fight with them, Dad ended up bleeding on the floor, his distressed son kneeling over him, pleading; ‘Please don’t be mad at me, Dad. I just followed you!’ We all follow someone, hoping they know the way. The Bible says, ‘Ahaziah son of Ahab…did evil in the eyes of the Lord, because he walked in the ways of his father and mother…’ (1 Kings 22:51-52 NIV). Our children may not follow our advice, but they will follow our example, whether good or bad. We are called to be signposts at their crossroads; road maps in their confusion. Paul encouraged his spiritual children, saying, ‘Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ’ (1 Corithians 11:1 NIV). You don’t need a college degree in parenting to shine at home. Embracing and living out Christ’s teaching each day qualifies you to be the best parent you can be! ‘A righteous man who walks in his integrity—how blessed are his sons [and daughters] after him’ (Proverbs 20:7 NAS). Bible In A Year: Eph 1:1 – 4:16, John 1:1-13, Ps 92, Pro 22:24-25.

[30/09, 8:05 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* THURSDAY, 1ST OCTOBER, 2026. *THE IMPACT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN A MINISTRY* *TEXT:* LUKE 4:14-21. 14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. 16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. *Timeless Truth:*_"How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him"_ (Acts 10:38). *INTRODUCTION* Every Christian has a ministry from God. Some would be popular and loud while some would be silent and still impactful. Whatever be the case, God demands faithfulness from all. Reward would be based on faithfulness and fruitfulness, and not necessarily on the nature of the calling? How do we know a calling and ministry that is Christlike? Jesus set the example as He began His ministry *1. Christlike Fasting Superblessed* Jesus just ended His 40 days fasting. How do we know that His fasting was effective and blessed of God? The question is important because many fast, including people from other religions. However, not all fastings are blessed by God. First, Jesus received supernatural power from God. *"And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee"*. True and divinely acceptable fasting will bring supernatural results beyond food denial. Second, He had a ministerial extension and impact. *"And there went out a fame of him"*. True fasting extends your spiritual capacity, influence and impact. His preaching was received and prevailed in the lives of the audience. *"And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all"*. The purpose of true fasting is to bring down supernatural power and intervention into human affairs, including personal. If it does not, the fasting may be said to be ineffective. b. Isaiah 58:3-8 gives reasons why some fastings are wasted. Isaiah 58:6-7 shows us how fasting can bring supernatural results and Isaiah 58:8-14 shows us the justification or blessings of acceptable fast. Jesus also in Matthew 6: 16-18 gives revelation on how to fast. What can you learn from all these and how do they apply to you? *2. Correct Fullness of the Spirit* a.Every Christian receives the Holy Spirit as a Guest at the point of conversion. *"But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his"* (Romans 8:9). The Holy Spirit gives definite assurance of salvation and forgiveness of sin when He enters the heart. *"The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God"* (Romans 8:16). However, the Spirit is given in a measure. The fullness is given when you want to embark in fruitful ministry including soulwinning. b. The fullness of the Holy Spirit brings supernatural impact into the service and ministry of the recipient beyond speaking in tongues. So the fullness is to anoint for impactful service according to the Lord. *"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised"*. Note the audience of the ministry of Jesus. The poor are the poor in spirit (Matthew 5:3), who acknowledge and accept their spiritual poverty; the blind are spiritually ignorant people who need the light of the truth; the brokenhearted need spiritual and supernatural healing and comfort; the captives need the yoke of Satan, sin, sicknesses etc. broken from their lives. The Ministry of every believer is just a subset of what Jesus listed as His ministry. Any other "ministry" outside these is not of God. Your effectiveness in any of these is relative to the level of anointing of the Holy Spirit you have. *Question* What are the different effects of receiving the Holy Spirit at salvation and receiving the fullness of the Holy Spirit? Where does your ministry fit in, in what Jesus mentioned that he was doing? *3. Christ's Fulfills the Scriptures* Jesus was able to read the passage with uncommon anointing that made them believe that the passage is all about Him. *"And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears"*. The truth is that every Christian is born again to live the life that fulfils the Scriptures. A life that is not fulfilling the Scriptures in the positive sense is a wasted life. *Question* How is your life fulfilling the Scriptures? Which area of your life negates the Scriptures and what do you want to do to turn it around? *Prayer Points* 1.Father, give me more hunger and thirst for the power of the Holy Spirit 🙏. 2.Father, let the Holy Spirit work in me to be more effective in the ministry You has given me 🙏. 3 .

The quest for it can hardly cease because independence comes in different forms and levels. For instance, there is political independence - the freedom of a nation to govern itself without external control; personal independence - a person's freedom to manage his or her affairs without being controlled by external forces; and financial independence - the ability to support oneself financially without relying on a job or income from others.* *Today's text highlights what may be regarded as the ultimate independence, much more desirable than the forms of freedom that people chase endlessly in life. When Christ, at the outset of His earthly ministry, appeared in a synagogue in Galilee after overcoming Satan's temptations in the wilderness, He revealed His identity and mission. He came to set the captives free. He unrolled the sacred manuscript to read the lesson of the day, which turned out to be a passage from the prophecy of Isaiah that principally talked about the Messiah (Himself): "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord." He was, in essence, declaring to the Jews that He was the fulfilment of this prophecy.* *Christ brought liberation to hopeless sinners and those oppressed by Satan. He preached the message of freedom from sin. He taught on how people can enter and flourish in the kingdom of God. He healed sicknesses of diverse nature and brought deliverance to those held captive by Satan. Talk of independence or freedom; no one is independent who is still under the oppressive control and domineering influence of sinful habits, Satanic manipulation, guilt and inner condemnation.* *And the emphatic testimony of the Scriptures is that Jesus "went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil" (Acts 10:38). He is still liberating people today from the shackles of Satan, sin, sickness, and sadness through the power of the gospel. Irrespective of the enormity of your sins, the weight of the burden it has imposed on you, or the depth of despair into which you have sunk, if you turn to Christ now in repentance and faith, He will set you free from the judgement God has reserved for all who offend by their character and conduct. You should be wise and seize this moment to change the direction of your life.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*True freedom comes not through perennial fight but by personal faith.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *JUDE*📜📜 Reframing True Independence https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 215: O HAPPY DAY, THAT FIXED MY CHOICE; GHS 124: CHRIST RECEIVETH SINFUL MEN; GHS 128: VICTORY IN JESUS; GHS 133: OUT OF MY BONDAGE; AND GHS 136: AT CALVARY* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna1stOctober2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [30/09, 8:05 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```THURSDAY 1ST OCTOBER, 2026``` *THE SLOTHFUL STUDENT - 2* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🥱😴🛌🏽💤⚠️‼️🛑❌🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:PROVERBS 24:30-34```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down" (PROVERBS 24:30, 31).*_ *The slothful is someone who dislikes work or anything that tasks one's physical or mental energy.

Morning Prayer for today. MP.i. Morning Prayer 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. ⏤ 2 Corinthians 12:9 Our strength is not in our circumstances, but in His all-sufficient grace. ⏤ Charles Spurgeon O God, You have kept us safe through the night and brought us to this new morning—seal Your mercy to us with new gifts of grace. We thank You for the rest of the past night and for the blessings that await us today. We are grateful for the provisions You’ve made for our bodies and for the hopes we have as we begin this day. Give us truly thankful hearts, and may we never grieve You by coldness, unfaithfulness, ingratitude, unbelief, or lack of love. We ask that You prepare us by Your Spirit for all the duties and challenges of this day. We don’t know what this day will bring, nor do we need to. We’d rather leave it all in Your hands, trusting that You will lead us and prepare the way for us. We trust You to take us on the path You’ve chosen for us, rather than trying to choose our own way. Your wisdom is perfect, and we are often foolish and blind. We dare not choose for ourselves. This day may bring shadows or hardship, but we won’t be afraid. Our path through the gloom will lead to joy and peace. So, we will press on in patient self-denial, accepting the challenges, and not shrinking from any losses. Our blessing lies beyond the hour of trial—our crown lies beyond the cross. Let us not falter in any difficulty. Help us not to be overcome by the world today. Keep our eyes fixed on our heavenly home, and help us press on toward the glory that awaits us there with You. Hear our prayers, O God, and grant us Your blessing and grace, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/88/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* WEDNESDAY 30TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD. *TOPIC:* VALUE ONE ANOTHER. *TEXT:* PHILIPPIANS 2:3-5. 3 Do not act out of selfish ambition or conceit, but with humility think of others as being better than yourselves. Rom 12:10 1Pe 5:5 4 Do not be concerned about your own interests, but also be concerned about the interests of others. 1Co 10:24 1Co 13:5 [Exo 23:4] 5 Have the same attitude among yourselves that was also in the Messiah Jesus: Mat 11:29 Joh 13:15 1Pe 2:21 1Jn 2:6 *TOPIC:* VALUE ONE ANOTHER. *THE MESSAGE:* Christ humbly laid aside his rights to serve humanity by offering them salvation. Paul urges believers to value one another by eschewing selfish ambition, embracing humility, and considering the interests of others. Selfishness builds pride and breeds jealousy and division, which is harmful to the family. However, humility and care for others foster unity and fellowship. Couples that value each other will work in harmony to ensure the provision of food, school fees and medical bills, among other essentials. Regrettably, some couples spend their money separately, claiming it is their hard-earned money. This attitude will have an adverse effect on the family. Resolve to emulate Christ's humility, set aside selfish ambitions and serve the members of your family. REFLECTION: Value your family members. *PRAYER:* Lord, help me to seek the interests of others. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* PROVERBS 3:34. He mocks proud mocker but gives grace to the humble and oppressed. *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* MALACHI 1-4. ED.ii. GOD LOVES US "The Father Himself loves you." - John 16:27 The love of God can be compared to the love of a mother for her child. A mother who really loves her child will always defend it. If you touch her child, you touch her. She continues to love the child, although it is so naughty. God says in Isaiah 57:17: 'I was enraged by their sinful greed; I punished them, and hid My face in anger, yet they kept on in their willful ways.' God was talking about His people whom He also refers to as His son. There are children who do not want to listen. They are stubborn, go their own way and do not behave well. That is why sometimes you must correct your children. Do not hit or abuse them; that is something completely different. No, you punish your child as God corrects His people. But then God says in verse 18: 'I have seen their ways, but I will heal them; I will guide them and restore comfort to Israel's mourners.' God's great love We also need to be comforted in our lives. The love of God is just like that of a mother; she cries with the child, because it is her child. That is the kind of love that comes from God, the kind of love we see between God the Father and His Son, and between God and the human being. We are His creation. He made us, but we would not listen to Him. God said: 'You must not do that; if you do it you will die!' We did not listen to God, but to His opponent, the evil one, and did what he told us to do. That is how the first sin was born. We were stubborn. God loved us but He had to punish us. He had warned us in advance. On the other hand, He has shown His great love by giving His Son for us. Jesus hung on the cross to pay the price for our sin. He had to punish us with death, but because God loves us so much, He Himself took the punishment. Real fathers and mothers do that. And so does God. Don't forget it: GOD LOVES YOU! https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. ⏤ 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Praise is the language of faith, lifting our hearts to see God’s hand in all things. ⏤ Matthew Henry Lord, we praise You for Your mercy, truth, and all the wonders of Your love. Teach us how to sing Your praises. Sometimes we forget to sing because we so rarely express our gratitude. We come to You often with our needs, asking for many things, but we don’t thank You as often as we should. We forget to thank You for the very things we prayed for, not realizing that they are answers to our prayers, gifts from Your hand. Father, we confess this sin of ingratitude and ask for Your forgiveness. Help us to show our repentance by thanking You more faithfully for all the blessings of Your love and grace. We thank You now for answered prayers, for the good things You provide, for the blessings of Your Word and Spirit, for our home and friends, and for all the benefits of living in this country and being part of Your church. We thank You for today’s blessings, for its joys, for all the good it has brought us, for Your presence with us, and for the hope of eternal life. We thank You for being our Father, for loving us, and for revealing Your grace and comfort to us. Teach us to sing Your praises, not just with our lips, but with our lives. May our actions, our character, and our conduct be a song of praise to You. May everyone who sees us hear the music of love and praise in our lives. Fill us with the joy of Jesus, and then we will sing. Breathe Your life into our souls, and then our lives will be a song. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/87/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion. Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. word for today How to deal with discouragers. 29 September 2026. ‘‘He then turned away to someone else.’’ 1 Samuel 17:30 NIV. The first person who tried to discourage David from fighting Goliath was his own brother. ‘Eliab…burned with anger at him and asked, “Why have you come down here? And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know how conceited you are…You came down only to watch the battle.” “Now what have I done?” said David. “Can’t I even speak?” He then turned away to someone else and brought up the same matter’ (1 Samuel 17:28-30 NIV). Don’t fall into the trap of giving too much thought and consideration to a discourager. Spend your time with those who add to you, not detract from you. Even King Saul told David, ‘You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth’ (v. 33 NIV). But David wasn’t concerned about how much experience Goliath had, because he knew that his God was all-powerful. How tragic it is when we limit our faith only to what we can see. To think we are inadequate for a task is to engage in self-centredness and focus on our own capabilities apart from God. This independent mindset shuts God out of the equation and ignores the fact that He has declared that His strength is made perfect in our weakness (see 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NIV). The name ‘Eliab’, David’s older brother, means ‘God is my father’. How ironic, because he had no confidence in God at all. So in order to experience victory, you may first have to overcome the doubts and unbelief of those closest to you. For more information about the terms of use, contact publications[ucb].co.uk MD.ii. [28/09, 8:47 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* TUESDAY, 29TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *FIGHTING THE BATTLE OF FAITH* *TEXT:* 2 CHRONICLES 13:1-12.  Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah. 2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. 3 And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour. 4 And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel; 5 Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? 6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord. 7 And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them. 8 And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with your golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods. 9 Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods. 10 But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business: 11 And they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the Ltord our God; but ye have forsaken him. 12 And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper. *Timeless Truth:*_"For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him"_ (2 Chronicles 16:9). *INTRODUCTION* Jesus said in Mark 13:7 that wars and conflicts are both old and new normal as long as man is not redeemed and Satan is not yet totally caged, *"For such things must be"*. He also said *"offences must surely come"*. Everybody must prepare his mind that it is not possible to have a world of total peace outside the millennial reign of Christ. The beautiful thing is that in the world of turmoil, troubles, turbulence and trials, believers can enjoy the peace of God in their heart like a stormy ocean which is peaceful down deep within. Jesus said *"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"* (John 14:27). It is only in Christ we can have the truest peace in this world of hatred, hooliganism, hostility, heartlessness, hopelessness and hypocrisy. The text shows an avoidable hostility between two tribes of the same progenitor in the name of contending for the faith. In the end, many lives, in hundreds of thousands, were lost. Those who call themselves brothers by the virtue of their being children of God must take pain to disallow and reject all forms of destructive infighting, hatred and wars that are of no eternal value. *1. Conflicts and Family Wrangling* a. The kingdom of David was divided into two after the death of Solomon. The son of Solomon, Reroboam, had two tribes, Judah and Benjamin; while Jeroboam, the servant of Solomon had 10, called the Northern kingdom of Israel. This was an act of God due to the foolishness of Rehoboam and the sins of Solomon. In order to secure the 10 tribes, Jeroboam built two calves for the 10 tribes to worship rather than going to the Temple in Jerusalem. Abijah, the son of Rehoboam took over from his father and under the pretext of fighting idolatry in the domain that was not given to him by God decided to go into warfare. Abijah did not live long. He reigned for only three years. *"And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam."* It was 400, 000 soldiers (Judah) versus 800, 000 soldiers (Israel). b. Abijah hinged his reason for warfare as contending for the faith and the throne of David. *"Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?"*. That was a wrong reason for fighting because he knew too well that God gave the 10 tribes to Jeroboam. At times, the battle we fight may have the undertone of ignorance, selfishness and bitterness though we cover it with the garment of contending for the faith. Abijah also accused Israel of idolatry. *"And there are with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods"*. He also accused Israel of consecrating those who were not Levites to sacrifice against the commandment of God. However, does this justify the war? Abijah had not set her heart right with God and neither had he succeeded in making Judah godly. He should have removed the beam in his eyes first before trying to remove the speck in other people's eyes. *"First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye"* (Matthew 7:5). *Question* Are you sure that there are no underlying selfish motives while fighting the battle of faith or contending for the faith? *2. Confidence without Fear in Warfare* a. There are still lessons to learn from Abijah. He demonstrated courage and confidence while fighting for the Lord. *"But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business"*. His ceremonial righteousness built a strong faith in him that he was doing the will of God. Righteous living produces confidence in God while unrighteous living with accusing conscience weakens faith in God. On the other hand true faith in God produces righteous and holy living. So confidence in God and holy living are inseparable. *"Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God."* (1 John 3:21). Happy and victorious over every battle is he whose heart is purified from all accusing conscience. b. Abijah wisely weakened the morale and confidence of Israel; *"but ye have forsaken him"*. Satan also uses this strategy by falsely accusing the brethren of what God has forgiven or has overlooked after confession. He is called the *"Accuser of our brethren"* which he does day and night. If you are ignorant of the truth or your heart is not right with God, be sure that Satan will use this strategy on you. b. Abijah assured himself that God was with Judah. Think about it, *if God is with us, who can be against us?"*. The assurance of divine presence should dissolve all doubts, assures against all defeat mentality and strengthen confidence in divine assistance mentality. Jesus has assured that as long as we remain in His will, *"Behold I am with you alway, even to the end of the earth"*. His faith in God was not disappointed and the same for all who have confidence in Him. *"And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you"*. *Question* Do you have a good conscience and the assurance of divine presence? If not, why? *3. Contending for the Faith with Wisdom* Abijah had his own selfish interest while going into warfare. If he was sincerely contending for the faith of God, was that the best way to do it? Were there no prophets and priests that he could encourage and mobilize to proclaim the Word of God in cities and villages and ask them to come to repentance? How did his approach help him to bring back true faith to Israel? It is not just fighting for faith with impure motives. The Bible says *"fight the good fight of faith"* indicating that there are some fights that are not good though they may appear spiritual. Thousands of Israelites were destroyed except that he gained some territorial expansion. Pure motives, divinely and scripturally approved wisdom are essential in fighting the good fight of faith. The characteristics of true wisdom are written in James 3:17. *"But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy."* *Question* Do you contend for the faith and preach the gospel with the wisdom of God? *Prayer Points* 1.Ask God to cleanse your heart and conscience with the blood of Jesus🙏. 2.Father, give us more faith and confidence in Your divine presence and give us knowledge of the Word that Satan will not succeed in accusing us falsely 🙏. 3. Lord, give me increasing wisdom while doing Your service 🙏. 4.Father, keep Your children from avoidable fights and divisions 🙏. *HYMN:* Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* 1 JOHN 1-5.

O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper" (2 CHRONICLES 13:12).*_ *James McGranahan's hymn, _If God Be for Us,_ always comes in handy when we are pitted against formidable adversaries in life. The song, which derives from the rhetorical question raised in Romans 8:31, reminds us that if God is with us, we do not need to worry because no opposition can successfully overcome us. In any battle, if God fights on your side, your weaknesses and deficiencies don't count. God loses no battles.* *Abijah, king of Judah, in our text, armed himself with this consciousness when he went out against the army of Israel under Jeroboam with an army of four hundred thousand soldiers as against Israel's eight hundred thousand soldiers. Although he was not altogether balanced in his assertions about Jeroboam's coming to power in Israel, he nonetheless capitalised on the backsliding and idolatry of Jeroboam and Israel in his address. He talked proudly about Judah's pure worship and faithfulness to the Mosaic Law. This way, he identified with the Almighty God and emphatically appealed to his opponents thus: "O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper" (2 Chronicles 13:12).* *The outcome of the war was a clear victory for Abijah despite Jeroboam's superior army and tactics. The presence of God with us should afford us comfort, courage, and rest, as well as terrify our enemies. If we have made Jehovah the Captain of our host, there is no need to live in fear. With Him on our side, we can pass through waters and fire and come out unscathed; surmount the most difficult challenge and fight every battle with confidence.* *Truly, if God is on your side, you have the greatest possible advantage. His power and love far exceed whatever force any potential opposition can muster against you. As you step out today into a world full of uncertainties, have you made the Lord your own Captain? Are you at peace with God? If not, why not humbly go to Him in penitent prayer and by faith accept His provision of salvation and restoration through Jesus Christ, His Son?* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*God's presence with us is a powerful quit notice to our enemies.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *1 JOHN 1-5*📜📜 If God Be For Us https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 16: IF GOD BE FOR US; GHS 98: THE SONG OF THE SOLDIER; GHS 100: CHRIST, OUR MIGHTY CAPTAIN; AND GHS 233: STAND UP, STAND UP FOR JESUS* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna29thSeptember2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [28/09, 8:47 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```TUESDAY 29TH SEPTEMBER, 2026``` *WALKING AS JESUS WALKED* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️✝️👣🚶🏽🚶🏽‍♀️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:1 JOHN 2:1-6```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked" (1 JOHN 2:6).*_ *A military parade has been described by _Wikipedia_ as a formation of soldiers whose movement is restricted by close-order maneuvering known as drilling or marching.

Morning Prayer for today. MP.i. Morning Prayer Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. ⏤ Psalm 51:10 True blessing is the gift that transforms, leading us into His likeness. ⏤ J.C. Ryle Father, we ask for Your true blessing this morning. Let it come into our lives and make us more like Jesus. May it become a source of life within us, causing us to hate sin more and to love what is right and good. May it leave a deeper mark of Jesus upon us, imprinting His image more clearly in our hearts. We want to carry Your blessing with us throughout the day. May it help us love You more, follow You better, and serve You more faithfully. We ask You, as we always do, to forgive our sins and cleanse our hearts and lives. We know we’re not worthy to receive any blessings from You, but You are gracious and merciful. We come to You, trusting that our sins will be blotted out when we truly confess and repent of them. Give us the grace of true repentance, so we can receive Your forgiveness and peace. We want to leave our sins behind and not keep repeating them. Help us to put them away for good. If we’ve wronged anyone, give us the grace to make it right. If we’ve taken anything that doesn’t belong to us, help us to return it. May our faith make us honest and truthful, just and righteous. Save us from a faith that doesn’t change our lives. May our faith go deep into our hearts, cleansing and transforming us, and leading us to live in a way that honors You. We pray in Jesus' precious name.

Eph 5:15 Eph 5:16 6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone. Mar 9:50 [Son 4:3] *TOPIC:* GRACIOUS COMMUNICATION *THE MESSAGE:* Paul exhorts believers to conduct themselves wisely in their interactions with non-Christians. Furthermore, he emphasises that their speech should be gracious, with kindness, wisdom and tact. Such words are tasteful and preserving, bringing truth, encouragement and spiritual nourishment. Indeed, balanced communication enables Christians to respond appropriately to everyone. Sadly, some Christians speak harshly and arrogantly, claiming it is their nature. Is this your attitude? Understand that believers are being transformed into the likeness of Christ. The old nature is dealt with and the new has come. Beloved, allow the transformative grace of God to take its cause in changing you into the image of Christ. *REFLECTION:* Let your conversation be full of grace. *PRAYER:* Oh Lord, help my communication to be seasoned with salt at all times. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* PROVERBS 3:34. He mocks proud mocker but gives grace to the humble and oppressed. *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* ZECHARIAH 13-14. ED.ii. WHAT IS GOD'S WILL FOR MY LIFE? "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." - Matthew 6:9-10 God created us to be in relationship with Him and He desires to draw us closer to Him. We may ask Him anything. He also wants to show you His will for your life. 1) Ask Him for the right way. The One who loves you, knows exactly what you need, so ask God to make His will your will.'Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; may Your good Spirit lead me on level ground' (Psalm 143:10). Jesus taught His disciples to pray: 'Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven' (Matthew 6:10). 2) Follow Jesus. Discover who He is and what He has said and done. Read the words He spoke and the works He did from the Bible. 'Follow God's example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us' (Ephesians 5:1-2). 3) Stay connected to the Body of Christ - the Church. By dealing with others and walking the same way, we find nourishment and encouragement to learn God's will in our lives. 'And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another' (Hebrews 10:24-25). 4) Be prepared to accept and follow what God has chosen for you. The apostle Paul said this quite clear: 'Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will' (Romans 12:2). https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer [I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. ⏤ Psalm 27:13 Even when shadows fall, His goodness remains our constant guide. ⏤ Elisabeth Elliot Father, we come to You tonight with confidence and trust. We know we can trust You because You have never failed or disappointed us when we’ve come to You with our needs. You won’t fail us now, even when things seem to be against us. Help us believe that, though things may seem difficult, the story of Your providence isn’t finished yet. We don’t have the power to bring good out of evil or to turn opposition into blessing, but You can. So, we leave all the things that seem to be against us in Your hands, trusting You to bring good from them. Tonight, we remember our friends who are going through tough times. You know who they are and what they’re facing. Give them faith and comfort in their trials. Let them not be overwhelmed by what they’re enduring. May their faith remain strong, no matter what they face. We also lift up our own home to You. We want our home to be a place where we grow into the people You want us to be, and a place that prepares us for Heaven. We need Your help to make our home loving, sweet, and filled with Your presence. May Your love dwell with us, softening our hearts and making our spirits more gentle and kind. We pray for all who love the Lord Jesus. May their love for Him grow deeper every day. We pray for the lost world. Have mercy on it and save it. Help us to do our part in bringing salvation to others. And may the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with us all forever.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀💝🌺🎁🌹🎀 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 29. 2026. "KEEP GROWING (3)" ‘The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be…’ 2 Peter 1:8 NLT LET’S LOOK at two more things you need to grow: 1) Don’t just grow in knowledge, grow in character. The truth is, God is more interested in your character than He is in your career. Why? Because success without character has the potential to hurt you, and those around you. The Bible says: ‘…make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone. The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be…’ (2 Peter 1:5-8 NLT). Note the words ‘make every effort.’ You’ve got to work at it! 2) Always stay fresh. Did you hear about the country pastor who was preaching when his notes flew out the church window and a cow grazing nearby ate them? Three days later the cow went dry. Hello! Stay thirsty. Stay hungry. Jesus said, ‘Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled’ (Matthew 5:6 NIV). Ultimately it’s not your talents, but your desire that determines your destiny. One of Paul’s highest compliments was given to the believers in the Thessalonian church: ‘We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing’ (2 Thessalonians 1:3 NIV). Let that be said of you. Bible In A Year: Eze 37:1-14, Matt 27:50-53, 1 Thes 4:13-18.

[28/09, 8:47 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* TUESDAY, 29TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *FIGHTING THE BATTLE OF FAITH* *TEXT:* 2 CHRONICLES 13:1-12.  Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah. 2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. 3 And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour. 4 And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel; 5 Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? 6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord. 7 And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them. 8 And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with your golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods. 9 Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods. 10 But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business: 11 And they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the Ltord our God; but ye have forsaken him. 12 And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper. *Timeless Truth:*_"For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him"_ (2 Chronicles 16:9). *INTRODUCTION* Jesus said in Mark 13:7 that wars and conflicts are both old and new normal as long as man is not redeemed and Satan is not yet totally caged, *"For such things must be"*. He also said *"offences must surely come"*. Everybody must prepare his mind that it is not possible to have a world of total peace outside the millennial reign of Christ. The beautiful thing is that in the world of turmoil, troubles, turbulence and trials, believers can enjoy the peace of God in their heart like a stormy ocean which is peaceful down deep within. Jesus said *"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"* (John 14:27). It is only in Christ we can have the truest peace in this world of hatred, hooliganism, hostility, heartlessness, hopelessness and hypocrisy. The text shows an avoidable hostility between two tribes of the same progenitor in the name of contending for the faith. In the end, many lives, in hundreds of thousands, were lost. Those who call themselves brothers by the virtue of their being children of God must take pain to disallow and reject all forms of destructive infighting, hatred and wars that are of no eternal value. *1. Conflicts and Family Wrangling* a. The kingdom of David was divided into two after the death of Solomon. The son of Solomon, Reroboam, had two tribes, Judah and Benjamin; while Jeroboam, the servant of Solomon had 10, called the Northern kingdom of Israel. This was an act of God due to the foolishness of Rehoboam and the sins of Solomon. In order to secure the 10 tribes, Jeroboam built two calves for the 10 tribes to worship rather than going to the Temple in Jerusalem. Abijah, the son of Rehoboam took over from his father and under the pretext of fighting idolatry in the domain that was not given to him by God decided to go into warfare. Abijah did not live long. He reigned for only three years. *"And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam."* It was 400, 000 soldiers (Judah) versus 800, 000 soldiers (Israel). b. Abijah hinged his reason for warfare as contending for the faith and the throne of David. *"Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?"*. That was a wrong reason for fighting because he knew too well that God gave the 10 tribes to Jeroboam. At times, the battle we fight may have the undertone of ignorance, selfishness and bitterness though we cover it with the garment of contending for the faith. Abijah also accused Israel of idolatry. *"And there are with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods"*. He also accused Israel of consecrating those who were not Levites to sacrifice against the commandment of God. However, does this justify the war? Abijah had not set her heart right with God and neither had he succeeded in making Judah godly. He should have removed the beam in his eyes first before trying to remove the speck in other people's eyes. *"First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye"* (Matthew 7:5). *Question* Are you sure that there are no underlying selfish motives while fighting the battle of faith or contending for the faith? *2. Confidence without Fear in Warfare* a. There are still lessons to learn from Abijah. He demonstrated courage and confidence while fighting for the Lord. *"But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business"*. His ceremonial righteousness built a strong faith in him that he was doing the will of God. Righteous living produces confidence in God while unrighteous living with accusing conscience weakens faith in God. On the other hand true faith in God produces righteous and holy living. So confidence in God and holy living are inseparable. *"Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God."* (1 John 3:21). Happy and victorious over every battle is he whose heart is purified from all accusing conscience. b. Abijah wisely weakened the morale and confidence of Israel; *"but ye have forsaken him"*. Satan also uses this strategy by falsely accusing the brethren of what God has forgiven or has overlooked after confession. He is called the *"Accuser of our brethren"* which he does day and night. If you are ignorant of the truth or your heart is not right with God, be sure that Satan will use this strategy on you. b. Abijah assured himself that God was with Judah. Think about it, *if God is with us, who can be against us?"*. The assurance of divine presence should dissolve all doubts, assures against all defeat mentality and strengthen confidence in divine assistance mentality. Jesus has assured that as long as we remain in His will, *"Behold I am with you alway, even to the end of the earth"*. His faith in God was not disappointed and the same for all who have confidence in Him. *"And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you"*. *Question* Do you have a good conscience and the assurance of divine presence? If not, why? *3. Contending for the Faith with Wisdom* Abijah had his own selfish interest while going into warfare. If he was sincerely contending for the faith of God, was that the best way to do it? Were there no prophets and priests that he could encourage and mobilize to proclaim the Word of God in cities and villages and ask them to come to repentance? How did his approach help him to bring back true faith to Israel? It is not just fighting for faith with impure motives. The Bible says *"fight the good fight of faith"* indicating that there are some fights that are not good though they may appear spiritual. Thousands of Israelites were destroyed except that he gained some territorial expansion. Pure motives, divinely and scripturally approved wisdom are essential in fighting the good fight of faith. The characteristics of true wisdom are written in James 3:17. *"But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy."* *Question* Do you contend for the faith and preach the gospel with the wisdom of God? *Prayer Points* 1.Ask God to cleanse your heart and conscience with the blood of Jesus🙏. 2.Father, give us more faith and confidence in Your divine presence and give us knowledge of the Word that Satan will not succeed in accusing us falsely 🙏. 3. Lord, give me increasing wisdom while doing Your service 🙏. 4.Father, keep Your children from avoidable fights and divisions 🙏. *HYMN:* Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* 1 JOHN 1-5.

O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper" (2 CHRONICLES 13:12).*_ *James McGranahan's hymn, _If God Be for Us,_ always comes in handy when we are pitted against formidable adversaries in life. The song, which derives from the rhetorical question raised in Romans 8:31, reminds us that if God is with us, we do not need to worry because no opposition can successfully overcome us. In any battle, if God fights on your side, your weaknesses and deficiencies don't count. God loses no battles.* *Abijah, king of Judah, in our text, armed himself with this consciousness when he went out against the army of Israel under Jeroboam with an army of four hundred thousand soldiers as against Israel's eight hundred thousand soldiers. Although he was not altogether balanced in his assertions about Jeroboam's coming to power in Israel, he nonetheless capitalised on the backsliding and idolatry of Jeroboam and Israel in his address. He talked proudly about Judah's pure worship and faithfulness to the Mosaic Law. This way, he identified with the Almighty God and emphatically appealed to his opponents thus: "O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper" (2 Chronicles 13:12).* *The outcome of the war was a clear victory for Abijah despite Jeroboam's superior army and tactics. The presence of God with us should afford us comfort, courage, and rest, as well as terrify our enemies. If we have made Jehovah the Captain of our host, there is no need to live in fear. With Him on our side, we can pass through waters and fire and come out unscathed; surmount the most difficult challenge and fight every battle with confidence.* *Truly, if God is on your side, you have the greatest possible advantage. His power and love far exceed whatever force any potential opposition can muster against you. As you step out today into a world full of uncertainties, have you made the Lord your own Captain? Are you at peace with God? If not, why not humbly go to Him in penitent prayer and by faith accept His provision of salvation and restoration through Jesus Christ, His Son?* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*God's presence with us is a powerful quit notice to our enemies.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *1 JOHN 1-5*📜📜 If God Be For Us https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 16: IF GOD BE FOR US; GHS 98: THE SONG OF THE SOLDIER; GHS 100: CHRIST, OUR MIGHTY CAPTAIN; AND GHS 233: STAND UP, STAND UP FOR JESUS* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna29thSeptember2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [28/09, 8:47 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```TUESDAY 29TH SEPTEMBER, 2026``` *WALKING AS JESUS WALKED* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️✝️👣🚶🏽🚶🏽‍♀️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:1 JOHN 2:1-6```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked" (1 JOHN 2:6).*_ *A military parade has been described by _Wikipedia_ as a formation of soldiers whose movement is restricted by close-order maneuvering known as drilling or marching.

Morning Prayer Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. ⏤ Philippians 4:6 Prayer is the voice of faith to the ear of our loving Father. ⏤ A.W. Tozer Lord, teach us how to pray. We’re grateful for the privilege of coming to You with our needs and desires, knowing that You will listen with patience and love. You never turn away any of Your children. Even the smallest request from the weakest among us is heard by You. We are so thankful to have such a loving Father in Heaven. Help us learn to pray with the confidence of children, coming boldly to Your throne of grace to find mercy and help in our times of need. We trust that You will always do what’s best for us, so we bring our requests to You, saying, "Your will be done." Give us the faith to trust You with our desires, leaving the outcome in Your hands. If what we ask isn’t given, help us believe that Your refusal is a greater kindness than granting our request would have been. We come to You with our needs for daily provision, for health, and for success in our work. If it’s Your will, grant us these mercies. But if You withhold them, we trust that it is out of love, and we will say, "Your will, not ours, be done." We also ask for spiritual blessings—more grace, more love, and more of Your Spirit in our lives. Hear our prayers and grant us peace. May we stay close to You, and may Your love fill our hearts. Give us what we need most, even if it’s not what we ask for. We pray in Jesus' precious name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/86/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

He was the greatest man among all the people of the East. 4. His sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5. When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified. Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular custom. *TOPIC:* FELLOWSHIP IN THE FAMILY. *THE MESSAGE:* Today's text presents a family that maintained constant fellowship with one another. Job's blameless and God-fearing life influenced his children to live in harmony, enjoying each other's company. Whenever his sons organised a feast, they would invite their sisters to join in the celebration with them. Fellowship strengthens and nurtures family bonds, allowing members to understand each other better and appreciate their needs. A family that prays and studies the Bible together will not only build a foundation for good relationships but will be spiritually strong. How often do you meet as a family to fellowship? Endeavour to meet as often as possible so that you do not give room for divisions or discords in your family. A family that feasts together grows strong in unity. *REFLECTION:* There is strength in fellowship. *PRAYER:* Lord, help me to cherish family fellowship. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* PROVERBS 3:34. He mocks proud mocker but gives grace to the humble and oppressed. *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* ZECHARIAH 11-12. ED.ii. BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said: Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." - Hebrews 13:5 When the Lord God says: 'Be content with what you have' it means to be thankful and happy in all circumstances. Do not rebel when things are not perfect. Do not start to murmur or complain. In the Netherlands we often worry a lot about things we do not have. However, we could also talk about all the things we do have. I would like to take you to those countries where people have nothing, where the rule is that if you do not work, you will not get an income. If you are sick, there is no help because they do not have any money. When you return to The Netherlands, you see the wealth we have. From the cradle to the grave you are being looked after. The hymn says: 'Count your blessings, name them one by one. Count your blessings, see what God has done!' Your happiness does not depend on the circumstances or on earthly wealth. You are happy when your heart is right with God. Be satisfied with what you have and enjoy it. God knows what is best Just as you know what is best for your child, so does God know what is best for His children. God is the best Father of all fathers! Sometimes children of God think that God is a strict Father, because He does not always give the things they want. However, a good father knows what is good and what is not good for his child. Unfortunately, many fail the test which comes with the blessings and then - just like Israel – they follow their own way again. Be content with what you have, for the Lord will provide for all your needs. Philippians 4:19 says: 'And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus.' https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. ⏤ Psalm 55:22 Faith grows strongest when it’s placed in the hands of a loving Father, even when the path is unseen. ⏤ Charles Spurgeon God, bring us light this evening. Whatever shadows have lingered over us today, may they be lifted now as Your love surrounds us. Sometimes life is hard to understand. We face troubles and sorrows, and our hearts ache. We experience loss and grief, and Your ways can be difficult to comprehend. It’s hard to see love in the midst of our pain, and we sometimes wonder if You are really with us, as the challenges we face seem overwhelming. But Father, we thank You for the many assurances that in all Your ways, love is at work. Even when it seems like things are against us, we trust that You are working for our good, even if it takes time to see the outcome. Give us a faith that never doubts Your love, no matter what we go through. Help us to trust You when we cannot see the way forward, knowing that in the end, we will understand and see the good that has come from our trials. Give us patience and teach us to wait on You, even when it’s hard to see Your hand at work. We bring all our burdens to You tonight. We don’t want to carry them into the night with us. We leave them all with You. Take the tangled threads of our lives into Your hands and weave them into something beautiful. Forgive us for our doubts and fears, and for our small and weak faith. Give us the simple faith of a child, so we can rest in Your love and care. May Your peace be with us tonight and always. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/85/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🎀💝🎁🌺🌹 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. MONDAY SEPTEMBER 28, 2O26. "KEEP GROWING (2)" ‘Let the wise listen and add to their learning…’ Proverbs 1:5 NIV WHEN IT comes to growth, Christ is our example. The Bible says that He ‘…grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men’ (Luke 2:52 NIV). To enjoy favour with God and others you must keep growing spiritually, mentally and emotionally. That requires you to do two things: 1) Never stop learning. Every experience in life, including the ones you don’t enjoy, yields knowledge that can make your future better than your present. But you have to look for it. The downside to the Internet and Smartphones is that you get endless ‘hits’ of information you don’t process or glean anything from. Instead of letting life just ‘happen’ to you, you need to stop and ask yourself, ‘What’s really happening here? I’m hearing it, but what does it mean?’ You are body, soul, and spirit, so you need to ask, ‘Am I healthy physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually?’ No one can answer that question but you. 2) Never stop developing your talents. When asked as an old man why he still practiced six to eight hours every day, one of the world’s best violinists replied, ‘Because I think I’m getting better.’ What a great attitude! It’s not enough just to live longer; you’re supposed to get better! Paul told Timothy, ‘…Stir up the gift…which is within you…’ (2 Timothy 1:6 NKJV). Wesley Tracy said, ‘Some people have the notion that following your spiritual gift is spending the days and years of your life doing only those things which come naturally, easily, with no effort, discipline or practice. No, your gift can either be mediocre or excellent; it’s up to you.’ Bible In A Year: 1 Sam 27-31, Matt 28:11-20, Ps 63, Pro 22:17-23.

[27/09, 8:27 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* MONDAY, 28TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *THE END TIME IS HERE* *TEXT:* MARK 13:1-13. And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! 2 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? 5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: 6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. 8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. 9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. 10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations. 11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. 12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. 13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. *Timeless Truth:*_"And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved"_(Mark 13:13). *INTRODUCTION* Everything that has a beginning has an end. God and His dwelling place in heaven do not have a beginning and therefore, do not have an end. However, the whole earth with all its beauties and gigantic structures, in addition to all its observable galaxies will all be destroyed one day because they were all created and all have beginnings. The grim truth that is generally known, but faintly sinks into the subconscious mind of man is that all humans will one day die out of this world no matter how old. The programme of God for each dispensation differs. When a dispensation ends, God's programme for the dispensation ends with it. This is a dispensational end. Also there is a generational end in which a generation seizes to exist again. However, the Bible speaks more of a global or final end in which God's programme for man on earth is ended and a new heaven and a new earth are brought into existence. The text, strictly, is all about what would happen to the disciples and all has been fulfilled and an end was brought to the occupation of Israel in their Canaan land. This was a foreview of the end times in the latter times which was to them very far away, but to us, we are already in the bracket of the final end time. It is a call for a sober reflection for the wise. *1. The Destruction of the Temple* a. The disciples were beholding the Temple as a masterpiece of an architectural edifice which took about 46 years to build by Herod, one of the best in the first century. The ancient Jewish historian Josephus described many of the standard white limestone blocks used in the structure as being roughly 25 cubits long (about 37 feet), 8 cubits high (12 feet), and 12 cubits wide (18 feet). It would appear that such structures with such big stone blocks will never be destroyed. They asked Jesus to see *"what manner of stones and what buildings are here!"*. Jesus gave them a surprising prophecy that would only take about 35 years to fulfil. He said, *"Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down"*. This came to pass in AD 70 when General Titus of the Roman empire came with his army to destroy Jerusalem and the Temple and the destruction was total. The destruction was total such that it was not possible, up till now, to locate the exact place and foundation of that temple. b. There is nothing on earth that is highly valued by man that will not eventually, be destroyed. *"For the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."* (2 Corinthians 4:18). All that man spends his life on are visible things and unfortunately, will be done away with as a matter of time. The invisible things like the soul and spirit, which are often neglected, will live for eternity. *Question* What do you spend most of your life on? *2. The Deceptions of the Transgressors* a. Deceptions originated with Satan even before man was created and he successfully, deceived one- third of the angels. It was followed by the deception of Eve. Now, he has recruited many human beings as agents in this "ministry" of deceptions compared to when he was doing it alone. These agents include many in ecclesiastical regalia. One mark of the last days is the multiplicity of satanic deceptions and human agents of deceptions. They asked Jesus signs of the end and He said, *"Take heed lest any man deceive you"*. It is curious that the vastly intelligent man and the spiritual God-loving-disciples need this warning. The spirit of deceptions are so mysteriously captivating, convincing and compelling that the disciples also can fall into it. *"For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many"*. The agents of darkness will go far to the point of attempting to deceive the disciples of Jesus who had seen Him physically as to the personality of Jesus. Not a surprise that Jesus asked them to *"take heed"*. b. If Satan can deceive the holy angels then, if Satan can deceive the sinless Adam and Eve, if Satan can deceive Judas who was so physically, close to Jesus and was taught directly by Jesus, who can claim immunity? Only those who are rigidly and diligently close to the Bible will escape different kinds of deceptions of the wicked. He can deceive about mammon, material wealth, meaning of life, messages of God (doctrines) and even about the coming Messiah. When we see the deceptions very common and affecting the pew, the pulpit and influences, know that we are in the last days of the last days. *Question* What are you putting in place to ensure that you don't fall and sink into the deceptions of sin, satan and the society? *3. The Distress and the Troubles* a. The world has ever been in distress and one trouble of the other. However, one of the signs of the last days is the severity of troubles and distress that will increase getting out of hand. *"And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be"*? There are multiplicity of avoidable wars that are increasingly causing distress, famines and troubles by the leaders who listen to Satan and themselves more than God. The fact is that things will not be getting better and life becomes easier. Each nation and communities will continually live in a delusion that better governments will come and make life better. It will all tend to be a false hope. *"But the end shall not be yet"*. This was to warn the disciples that all these should make them retire expecting better things and the end to come. They must keep serving God. All other things Jesus told the disciples were already fulfilled in the first 35 years of Jesus ascension to heaven. There were sorrows after the invasion by General Titus. They delivered them to councils, were beaten and severely persecuted as Jesus said. They were brought before rulers and kings and God used these to preach to powers that be as Jesus prophesied for *"a testimony against them"*. b. When they faced these, did it mean that the end had come? NO. Jesus told them the end will not come till *"... this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."* (Matthew 24:14) Gospel saturation of the nations must precede the final end of God's programme for man. One of the greatest revival will be during the time of the Great Tribulation. *"And the gospel must first be published among all nations"*. Obviously, they did not understand this message until Jesus allowed persecution to scatter them all over the world to preach the gospel. Jesus told them of severe persecution and betrayal among natural family members. That happened when they were even alive. *"And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake"*. The true and unadulterated gospel will always be hated by the carnal man, unless the Holy Spirit arrests them. Jesus did not promise a Christianity that is void of persecutions, sufferings, hatred of sinners etc. He only challenged us to endure to the end. *"But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved"*. The fulfilment of all most prophecies within 35 years of uttering them is an indication that all other yet to be fulfilled prophecies of the last days will unconditional come to pass. *Question* Is your own Christianity loved by wicked, carnal and compromising people? If yes, you need to check the genuineness. *Prayer Points* 1.Give praises to Jesus for His revelation of the last days 🙏. 2.Pray that you will be wiser and that your pursuit will be more on eternal things rather than temporary things 🙏. 3.Ask God to help you live the old fashioned Christian life without compromise 🙏. 4.Pray that all of us brethren will always have eternity in view and the Word of God will keep us from all deceptions 🙏. *HYMN:* Watch and Pray *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* 2 PETER 1-3.

In the 1970s, following negative media attention, the preacher moved with some 1,000 of his followers to the Guyanese jungle, where he promised they would establish a utopian community. On November 18, 1978, while armed guards stood by, Jones ordered his followers to ingest poison-laced punch.* *Christ was asked questions in our text concerning the destruction of Jerusalem, the signs of His Second Coming and of the end of the age. In reply, He warned about false prophets coming in His name to deceive many as a sign of His second advent. Wars and rumours of wars will characterise the period with earthquakes happening in quick successions in divers places. The persecution and killings of believers will then increase as the world demonstrates more hatred towards Christ's followers just before He returns. He spoke about the gospel message reaching all nations before the end of the age comes.* *False prophets have been existing from Bible days. They teach destructive heresies. Scripture tells us that false teachers introduce or bring in damnable heresies deceptively, quietly and secretly. False teachers are very active in every part of the world today and have penetrated the christendom. These are the very last days indeed. And the signs are pointing to the imminent return of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Believers must rise to preach the pure gospel truth to counter the error being peddled by false prophets, who are far more in number now than they have ever been. Let us thus be firmly admonished to be wary of false prophets masquerading as apostles of light.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*False teaching is the poison of the soul.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *2 PETER 1-3*📜📜 End-time Deceivers https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 73: JESUS ONLY IS OUR MESSAGE; GHS 75: THE CHURCH'S ONE FOUNDATION; AND GHS 89: O JESUS, I HAVE PROMISED* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna28thSeptember2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [27/09, 8:27 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```MONDAY 28TH SEPTEMBER, 2026``` *TO BE FRESH AND FLOURISHING* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🌊🌳🍇🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:JOHN 15:1-10```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit" (JOHN 15:2).*_ *A gardener had spent months watering a particular apple tree.

On a closer look, he noticed that the branch had long been splitting from the stem. It finally detached, and wasted with the fruits.* *The anecdote further reinforces the message in the Bible reading. The life of a true Christian is dependent on Christ for growth, freshness and fruitfulness. The detached branch is like a backslider that leaves Christ. Such will wither away and become fruitless because he/she can no more derive nutrients for growth, strength, and victory that Christ provides.* *Abiding in Christ means daily fellowship with Him and obedience to His word.

It was not just a natural wind, but a supernatural manifestation of God's presence through the Baptism in the Holy Ghost. The disciples were gathered in unity, waiting as Jesus had commanded them. Suddenly, heaven opened, and the power of God was released upon them. They all received tongues of fire and began to do exploits for God. When the Holy Spirit moves like a rushing mighty wind, He sweeps away spiritual dullness and backwardness, ignites fresh fire in our hearts, and empowers us for divine assignments. Fear is replaced with boldness, weakness with strength, and confusion with clarity. The wind of God does not come to leave us the same way it met us. It comes to change us completely. *Today, we need the rushing mighty wind more than ever.

Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* SUNDAY 27TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD. *TOPIC:* FORGIVENESS IN THE FAMILY. *TEXT:* GENESIS 45:3-15. 3. Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still living?” But his brothers were not able to answer him, because they were terrified at his presence. 4. Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.” When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt! 5. And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you. 6. For two years now there has been famine in the land, and for the next five years there will be no plowing and reaping. 7. But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 8. “So then, it was not you who sent me here, but God. He made me father to Pharaoh, lord of his entire household and ruler of all Egypt. 9. Now hurry back to my father and say to him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me; don’t delay. 10. You shall live in the region of Goshen and be near me—you, your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and all you have. 11. I will provide for you there, because five years of famine are still to come. Otherwise you and your household and all who belong to you will become destitute.’ 12. “You can see for yourselves, and so can my brother Benjamin, that it is really I who am speaking to you. 13. Tell my father about all the honor accorded me in Egypt and about everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.” 14. Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin embraced him, weeping. 15. And he kissed all his brothers and wept over them. Afterward his brothers talked with him. *TOPIC:* FORGIVENESS IN THE FAMILY. *THE MESSAGE:* Joseph forgave his brothers despite their hatred and betrayal, recognising that God use their evil actions for a greater purpose. Instead of seeking revenge, he reassured them of security and provision, emphasising reconciliation over past wrongs. His grace highlights the power of love and forgiveness in restoring broken relationships. Verily, love triumphs over past wrongs and jealousy, and restores harmony. Hatred, jealousy, unresolved conflicts and a lack of communication over matters such as inheritance, and land disputes plague many families. Is this the story of your family? Believers must not allow such things to affect their relationship with one another and with Christ. Like Joseph, embrace forgiveness and tolerance in your family. *REFLECTION:* Forgiveness helps broken relationships. *PRAYER:* Lord, help me to always forgive, in Jesus' name. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* PROVERBS 3:34. He mocks proud mocker but gives grace to the humble and oppressed. *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* ZECHARIAH 9-10. ED.ii. WHAT DOES CHRISTIAN MEAN? "So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch." - Acts 11:26 Originally the name Christian was used for those who changed radically through the resurrected Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The dictionary says that Christian means 'to be like Christ'. The followers of Jesus Christ were different because of that change in their lives. Therefore, people came up with a new name for this group who behaved differently. For example, they did not join secular things and did not have sinful habits anymore. Unfortunately, the true meaning of a Christian has been lost, because the name is being used for several things. Despite the enormous wickedness in the Western world it is still called a Christian community. However, the West is full of idols and the wickedness of man is increasing. A Christian should be different Today the question is: how different are you? For example, do you respond differently when someone hurts you? Being different sticks out in your circle of family and acquaintances. You do not join secular parties and you do not laugh at dirty jokes. You do not gossip, you obey the rules, etc. A Christian is: - someone with a different heart, a new heart; - someone who is born again. Born again Being born again makes you love other people. Even if they curse you, you will bless them. A born-again Christian keeps God's laws. Paul says it like this: 'Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will' (Romans 12:2). If you say that you are a Christian, then you are different than the world. https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. ⏤ 2 Corinthians 4:6 When Christ is in us, we walk in His radiant light, untouched by the shadows. ⏤ D.L. Moody O God, who commanded light to shine out of darkness, shine into our hearts this evening and fill us with Your peace. We thank You for all that this Sunday has brought us — for its quietness, its teaching, its worship, its fellowship with You and with Your people, and for the opportunities of serving You. We ask that You bless the rest and fellowship we have enjoyed in our home today. May our family life be enriched through the privileges of this day. Help us to make our home a place filled with the sweetness of Heaven. Bring us closer to You in our personal spiritual lives. May our thoughts of the risen Jesus lift our hearts into a deeper communion with Him. May He be more than ever our personal Friend, dearer to us than anyone else in the world. May we live closer to Jesus from this day forward. We pray that our Christian lives may grow deeper and holier. May we have more of Jesus in our hearts and be more fully dedicated to Your service. Make us more earnest, more prayerful, and more holy in heart and life. Give us wisdom as we work for You. May we teach others about Your grace and lead souls to You. Let our influence be for good, and may we be more helpful to others. We ask Your blessing on all the work done for You today. Bless not only the public ministry of Your Word but also the quiet, humble work done in private ways. Give us now Your peace as we close our eyes tonight. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/84/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🌹🎀🎁💝🌺 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 27, 2O26. "KEEP GROWING (1)" ‘When you come, bring…my scrolls…’ 2 Timothy 4:13 NIV IN PRISON with no possibility of release, and facing the certainty of death on the chopping block, Paul asked Timothy to bring his books. Why? Because he wanted to keep growing. The truth is: 1) When you finish growing, you’re finished. When the poet Longfellow was old an admirer asked him how he was able to keep writing so beautifully. Pointing to a nearby apple tree he replied, ‘That tree is very old, but I never saw prettier blossoms. The tree grows a little new wood every year, and out of that new wood those blossoms come. So I try to grow a little each year.’ 2) Growth doesn’t come easy. It will stretch you. It will challenge you to rethink assumptions you’ve always believed to be right. Indeed, it can cost you friends and money. But when you’re committed to growth you cannot settle for ignorance. 3) Growth is your responsibility. When you were a child, your parents were responsible for your growth, but now you are. The poet Robert Browning wrote, ‘Why stay we on earth except to grow?’ Yet few dedicate themselves to the process. That’s because growth requires change, and we’re uncomfortable with the things change brings. Gail Sheehy said, ‘If we don’t change we won’t grow, and if we don’t grow we’re not really living. Growth demands the temporary surrender of security. It means giving up familiar but limiting patterns, safe but unrewarding work, values no longer believed in, relationships that have lost their meaning. Taking a new step is what we fear most, yet our real fear should be the opposite.’ Can you think of anything worse than a life devoid of growth?

[26/09, 8:52 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* SUNDAY, 27TH SEPTEMBER, 2026 *THE TRAGIC COST OF SPIRITUAL UNFAITHFULNESS* *TEXT: EZEKIEL 23:22–35* 22. Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side; 23. The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses. 24. And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set against thee buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments. 25. And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire. 26. They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels. 27. Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more. 28. For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated: 29. And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms. 30. I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols. 31. Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand. 32. Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much. 33. Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria. 34. Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. 35. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms. *Timeless Truth:* _Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen._ ( 1 John 5:21) *INTRODUCTION* In 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear disaster became one of history's greatest technological catastrophies. Investigations later revealed that the tragedy was not caused by a single event alone, but by a series of ignored warnings, compromised safety standards and deliberate negligence. What began with small acts of disobedience, eventually, resulted in devastating destruction that affected generations. This tragic event illustrates a spiritual reality: persistent disregard for God's warnings always carries serious consequences. Sin seldom destroys a person instantly; it usually progresses through repeated compromise until judgment becomes unavoidable. Ezekiel 23 portrays the spiritual adultery of Aholah (Samaria) and Aholibah (Jerusalem)—two sisters who symbolize the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel. They abandoned their covenant relationship with God and pursued idolatry and foreign alliances. Verses 22–35 reveal God's righteous judgment upon persistent unfaithfulness. The cross of Jesus Christ demonstrates both God's justice and His mercy. Christ bore the judgment our sins deserved so that all who repent and believe might be reconciled to God. May we never be known as people who forgot God, but as believers who remained faithful to the One who loved us with an everlasting love. *1. The Consequences of Compromise* a. God announced that the very nations Judah trusted would become instruments of her judgment. Judah trusted foreign nations instead of trusting the Lord. Whenever believers place greater confidence in worldly systems, wealth, influence or human power than in God, spiritual compromise begins. b. God declared that He would bring against Judah those very nations she had pursued. God's discipline is not evidence of His rejection, but of His holy love calling His children back to Himself. God's purpose was to remove Judah's dependence upon idols and immoral practices. Modern idols may include money, success, pleasure, pride, relationships or anything that occupies God's rightful place in our hearts. *Questions* i. What worldly dependence or hidden idol is competing with my devotion to God? ii. Do I recognize God's loving discipline as an opportunity to return to Him? *2. The Certainty of Divine Judgment* a. God emphasized that His judgment was both righteous and inevitable because of Judah's persistent rebellion. God cannot ignore persistent sin because His character is perfectly holy. Grace never removes God's holiness; rather, it calls us to live holy lives through Christ. b. Judah would reap the consequences of the choices she had repeatedly made. Every decision plants a seed. Our present choices shape our future character and consequences. God held His people accountable because they knowingly abandoned His covenant. Spiritual knowledge brings spiritual responsibility. Hearing God's Word should lead to obedient living. *Questions* i. Am I sowing habits today that will produce godly fruit tomorrow? ii. Have I ignored convictions that God has repeatedly placed upon my heart? *3. The Call to Covenant Faithfulness* a. God reminded Judah that her suffering resulted from forgetting Him and abandoning their covenant relationship. Judah would drink the cup of shame because of her spiritual adultery. Sin always promises pleasure, but ultimately produces sorrow, bondage and emptiness. b. Spiritual decline begins long before outward failure—it begins when hearts gradually, drift away from God. Daily fellowship with God protects us from gradual spiritual drift. Though this passage emphasizes judgment, the broader message of Ezekiel repeatedly includes God's invitation to repentance. No matter how far someone has wandered, God's desire is restoration through genuine repentance. *Questions* i. Have I allowed busyness, success or distractions to weaken my intimacy with God? ii What practical step can I take this week to renew my covenant fellowship with Christ? *Prayer Points* 1. Lord, keep my heart faithful to You and remove every idol that competes for my affection.🙏 2. Father, help me respond quickly to Your conviction and grant me a repentant spirit.🙏 3. Lord Jesus, strengthen me to resist worldly influences and to walk in holiness each day.🙏 4. Prayer for Covenant Faithfulness, Father let the “Holy Spirit, deepen my daily fellowship with Christ and help me remain steadfast until the end.🙏 *Hymn:* I Need Thee Every Hour* *THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* I PETER: 1-5 [26/09, 8:52 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DAILY Ⓜ️ANNA - (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR ADULTS) SUNDAY 27TH SEPTEMBER, 2026``` *AVOID COSTLY MISTAKES* 📓📖🎚️🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️⚠️‼️🛑❌🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:EZEKIEL 23:22-36```📜📜 🔑📖```KEY VERSE:``` _*"Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side" (EZEKIEL 23:22).*_ *Many times, what gets people into trouble are not big but little things. They omit to do what is right. They indulge in little careless or reckless acts, including those they knew spelt disaster for other people. With the passage of time, they become self-confident in their ability to tackle issues their own way. They dismiss pointers in their own lives to things that caused misfortune for others on the hollow belief that 'it cannot happen to me'. In the process, they seal their own misfortune.* *Aholibah, or Judah in Israel, had witnessed judgement that came on Samaria (or Aholah) for turning away from God and embracing the nations that did not know the Lord. They were shipped into exile. Instead of learning from God's retribution on evil nations, Judah became more sinful before God. They connived, formed alliances with heathen nations, exposed their treasure to them and served their idols. God paid them in their own coins: He turned their new friends against them, who plundered their wealth and exposed them to shame, humiliation and disgrace.* *It is only reasonable to learn from the mistakes of other people and avoid things that brought them down. Where we find that the pursuit of power, wealth and pleasure took them away from God, we must flee from such. The lives of those around us who fell out with God should be a lesson to us to shun their ways. Anything that will lull our minds and dull our sensitivity to sinful enjoyment must be avoided. We must not wait to taste the judgment of God. Anything we must do to live right before God and avoid His rod of punishment must be done now. Mercifully, God gives us grace to live the acceptable life before Him. It is thus up to us to fully tap into that inexhaustible grace and present a commendable portrait of glory and beauty, rooted in His love.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*Sin is deceptive and deadly, and those that toy with it have bitter tales to tell.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *1 PETER 1-5*📜📜 Avoid Costly Mistakes https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 6: YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION; GHS 246: O BROTHER LIFE'S JOURNEY BEGINNING; AND GHS 205: HAVE YOU COUNTED THE COURSE.* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna27thSeptember2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [26/09, 8:52 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```SUNDAY 27TH SEPTEMBER, 2026``` *COME TO CHRIST* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️✝️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:JOHN 3:1-10```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (JOHN 3:3).*_ *Pride is one notable reason why many look down on the greatest gift God has for every human being on earth.

Daniel lived a righteous life, and because the wicked people could not find any fault in him, they cleverly convinced the king to issue a decree in Babylon, forbidding anyone from praying to any god except to the king, with death being the penalty for disobedience. In spite of the decree, Daniel, who knew his God, continued his unwavering commitment to God in the secret place of prayer. As expected, he was arrested and thrown into the lion's den. But glory be to our all-powerful God. He intervened and miraculously delivered Daniel from the hungry lions. This remarkable event led to a national transformation with the entire nation turning to acknowledge and worship the God of Daniel. Unfortunately, while Daniel was being promoted, those who plotted the evil decree were thrown into the same lion's den for the lions to feast on. *When you remain steadfast and true in your ways, seeking the glory of God in all you do, He will always show up for you and deliver you from every harm.* 🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥 ```🅿️rayer:``` _*Dear Lord, please help me to stand true for You at all times, in Jesus' name.*_ 🙏🏽 ```📖 Further Reading:``` *Daniel 9:1-4* Daniel - The Prayer Warrior https://dailymanna.app// *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#SincereMilk27thSeptember2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS]. 2.

Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* SATURDAY 26TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD. *TOPIC:* SHOWING KINDNESS. *TEXT:* EPHESIANS 4:31-32. 31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. Col 3:19 32 And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you. Mat 6:14 Mar 11:25 Phi 2:1 Col 3:12 Col 3:13 *TOPIC:* SHOWING KINDNESS. *THE MESSAGE:* Kindness is the quality of being friendly, generous and considerate. According to our text, a kind person must avoid bitterness, harsh words, slander and malice. Some acts of kindness include washing clothes, giving someone a meal, payment of bills or fees, and so on. Kindness brings joy and inspires others to do the same. In families, conflicts are inevitable, yet some hold grudges for years, which displeases God. Family members must learn to respond with grace and show Christian love while also embodying the spirit of compassion and forgiveness. This will further strengthen their unity and knowledge of Christ. Therefore, Christians are encouraged to be intentional in showing kindness daily. *REFLECTION:* As a recipient of God's grace, be kind to all. *PRAYER:* Lord, thank You for the grace to show kindness to others. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* PROVERBS 3:34. He mocks proud mocker but gives grace to the humble and oppressed. *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* ZECHARIAH 7-8. ED.ii. SPIRITUAL HUNGER "A person who is full refuses honey, but even bitter food tastes sweet to the hungry." - Proverbs 27:7 There is a difference between being hungry and having a desire to eat. We are not really hungry here in The Netherlands. Maybe you desire to eat because you have not eaten for a while. When you eat, then the desire will be satisfied. The Bible says that God abundantly fed the people of Israel in the desert. It was common for them to receive bread from heaven. It was so familiar that they said: 'again this bread!' This is exactly the same today. It is not without reason that Proverbs here says that someone who has just eaten refuses even honey. This Proverb does not only apply to the physical body, but also to the spiritual things in life. Spiritually all is well with us. There are many church meetings, Bibles in different languages in all sorts and sizes and this causes that people no longer wish to study the Bible. I want to ask you the following questions: What was it that made you so hungry to read the Bible? What made you love Jesus so much that you wanted to do everything for Him? I want to add another question to this: how come you are not hungry anymore? If you have reached that stage today and you are spiritually not hungry, I want to tell you that it will only get worse if you do not act to change that. Jesus turns bitter into sweet Isn't Jesus Christ enough for you? Is He not the only one who can satisfy your soul? Doesn't Jesus turn the bitter into sweet in your life? Can you go to Him with all your problems? When you come to God's house with your bitterness and allow yourself to be filled by the Holy Spirit, then His love comes and turns all bitter into sweet. You will receive joy instead of sorrow, peace instead of fear and victory instead of disappointment. https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. ⏤ Psalm 19:14 Our lives are richer when each lesson learned is a step closer to Him. ⏤ F.B. Meyer As the week comes to a close, we come to You, Father, in this evening prayer, entrusting ourselves to You. Bless all the days that have passed, and use the work we have done for Your glory. Impress upon our hearts the lessons we have learned this week, so that we may not forget them. May our lives be richer because of them, and may we put into practice what You have taught us. Bless the teachings from Your Word that we have received during this week. May they take root in our hearts and shape our character, making us more like You. Bless the influence of our lives on others. Those who have seen us have observed how we live. Our words may have been spoken in passing, but they have fallen on ears and into hearts, leaving a lasting impact. May You bless this influence. Prevent any harm from coming from our actions, and let those who have encountered us carry something good from our lives into theirs. May we also be blessed by the good and beautiful lives we have seen, growing stronger and holier because of them. Help us to be a blessing to others. As we go to rest now, we ask for Your protection. Enfold us in Your everlasting arms, keeping us safe from the world’s dangers. Forgive our sins, wash us in the blood of Jesus, and fill us with Your Spirit. Give us restful sleep and prepare us for a day of worship tomorrow. We ask all this in Jesus' precious name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/83/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.
