Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🌹🎀🎁💝🌺MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 15, 2O26. "BEFORE YOU BUILD(1)" ‘You must build…according to the pattern I will show you.’ Exodus 25:9 NLT GO TO God for the plan. God told Moses: ‘You must build this tabernacle and its furnishings exactly according to the pattern I will show you.’ God knows what you will need in the future, you don’t. He prepared Noah a hundred years in advance of the flood. He prepared Joseph to feed Egypt seven years in advance of the famine. Without God’s guidance the best you’ll ever have are estimates, educated guesswork and projections. ‘To the Israelites at the foot of the mountain, the glory of the Lord appeared at the summit like a consuming fire. Then Moses disappeared into the cloud as he climbed higher up the mountain. He remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights’ (Exodus 24:17-18 NLT). Moses spent over a month waiting in God’s presence for direction. Why? Because what he was building had to meet the needs of God’s people for generations. So go to the place of prayer. Tell those around you, ‘I’m not coming back until I hear from God and get His plan!’ When God orders it, He pays for it. But when He doesn’t give the order, and you decide to do it anyway, you’re on your own! Why? Because you won’t have confidence to go to Him in your time of need. Unless you start right, you won’t finish right. You say, ‘But I’m nobody special. Why would God speak to someone like me?’ If God has called you, and He has, then you’re special. His promise is, ‘If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God…and it will be given to him’ (James 1:5 NIV). Bible In A Year: Gen 24:1-51, 2 Cor 6:14 – 7:1.

The king sought a more formidable presence to intimidate enemy forces. However, it became evident that moose were too dangerous to manage, prone to disease, and had specific dietary needs that were challenging to meet. Additionally, their intelligence posed a logistical issue, as they would avoid areas where other moose had died, complicating their deployment in warfare.* *The saying "a cassock cannot make a priest" emphasises the difference between outward appearance and true inward value. A cassock, often worn by clergy, does not automatically confer priesthood on the wearer. This further explains the difficulty in attempting to use the moose in battle instead of the horse. Paul described himself as a prisoner of the Lord. He had the option of living a free life like others, but he chose to invest his life in serving the Master despite the risks. He enjoined Ephesian believers to walk worthy of their vocation, emphasising the importance of bearing the right fruit and living in unity with the brethren. He emphasised the beauty of living the new life in Christ, in unity with the brethren, with all lowliness, meekness and longsuffering.* *It all begins with the process leading to the salvation experience. A penitent seeker begins by sensing the need for salvation in the heart, follows that up with genuine repentance and confession of sin, and places his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, accepting Him as Saviour and Lord. The absence of this foundation has produced the so-called believers, who lack the grace to live righteously in the present evil world. It has also given occasion for people to doubt the claims of Christians, a situation worsened by the appearance of many false ministers whose character and practices are at variance with the gospel.* *You need to observe the following: Do not open up to people who claim to be servants of God until you see proof of their calling and Christian character. It is also not safe to lay hands suddenly on anyone who claims to have a call, without first verifying them. Furthermore, we need to recognise that conversion is necessary, so we don't put forward the moose instead of a horse.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*If he can't be safely imitated, he shouldn't be tolerated in the pulpit.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *NUMBERS 16-18*📜📜 New Nature And A Worthy Walk https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS: 35: A NEW NAME IN GLORY; GHS 215: O HAPPY DAY, THAT FIXED MY CHOICE; AND GHS 256: REDEEMED* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna15thSeptember2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [14/09, 9:49 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```TUESDAY 15TH SEPTEMBER, 2026``` *TURN THE SITUATION OVER TO GOD* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:2 KINGS 20:1-6```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight.

Such conditions may be failure, lack, bereavement, rejection, loneliness or terminal illness, as was the case of Hezekiah in our study today. However, "Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal," said Thomas Moore.* *When Isaac lost his mother, Sarah, he must have been heartbroken. However, he and his father, Abraham, turned the situation over to God, and God provided a wife for Isaac at the age of forty. The Bible states that he loved her, "and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death" (Genesis 24:67).* *No matter the situation in your life, turn it over to God. You cannot cope alone, yet worrying and thinking will not solve your problems. Beloved, are you or a loved one sick, and the medical bills are piling up, or are you having a problem paying your school fees? Do not fret. Rather, turn that situation over to Jesus, for He cares and has power to save.

Morning Prayer for today. MP.i. Streams in the Desert Scent of The Rose Blow upon my garden that the spices may flow out - Song 4:16 Some of the spices mentioned in this chapter are quite suggestive. The aloe was a bitter spice, and it tells of the sweetness of bitter things, the bitter-sweet, which has its own fine application that only those can understand who have felt it. The myrrh was used to embalm the dead, and it tells of death to something. It is the sweetness which comes to the heart after it has died to its self-will and pride and sin. Oh, the inexpressible charm that hovers about some Christians simply because they bear upon the chastened countenance and mellow spirit the impress of the cross, the holy evidence of having died to something that was once proud and strong, but is now forever at the feet of Jesus. It is the heavenly charm of a broken spirit and a contrite heart, the music that springs from the minor key, the sweetness that comes from the touch of the frost upon the ripened fruit. And then the frankincense was a fragrance that came from the touch of the fire. It was the burning powder that rose in clouds of sweetness from the bosom of the flames. It tells of the heart whose sweetness has been called forth, perhaps by the flames of affliction, until the holy place of the soul is filled with clouds of praise and prayer. Beloved, are we giving out the spices, the perfumes, the sweet odors of the heart? —The Love-Life of Our Lord. “A Persian fable says: One day A wanderer found a lump of clay So redolent of sweet perfume Its odors scented all the room. ‘What are thou? was his quick demand, ‘Art thou some gem from Samarcand, Or spikenard in this rude disguise, Or other costly merchandise?’ ‘Nay: I am but a lump of clay.’ “‘Then whence this wondrous perfume—say!’ ‘Friend, if the secret I disclose, I have been dwelling with the rose.’ Sweet parable! and will not those ‘Who love to dwell with Sharon’s rose, Distil sweet odors all around, Though low and mean themselves are found? Dear Lord, abide with us that we May draw our perfume fresh from Thee.” https://www.youdevotion.com/streams/september/15 #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* MONDAY 14TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD.. *TOPIC:* SHOWING RESPECT. *TEXTS:* EPHESIANS 5:33, 1 PETER 3:6. *EPHESIANS 5:33.* 33. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. *1 PETER 3:6.* 6. like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear. *TOPIC:* SHOWING RESPECT. *THE MESSAGE:* It is the grace of God that enables two people from different backgrounds to live together mutually. God commanded husbands to love their wives as they love themselves. Likewise, the wife must also respect her husband. Loving your wife means treating her well and providing all her needs as the Lord provides. Like Sarah, women are instructed to honour, respect, and obey their husbands in all seasons of their marital journey. Disrespect can lead to quarrels, insults, physical violence, and all sorts of harm. These attitudes conflict with God's will for marriage. How is the situation in your family? Husband, know that love motivates respect. Wife, do not shout at your husband or reject his counsel. Learn to live by biblical injunctions and enjoy your marriage. *REFLECTION:* Respect each other. *PRAYER:* Lord Jesus, help families to love and respect one another. 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:* JONAH 3-4. ED.ii. THE DANGER OF GRUMBLE AND COMPLAIN "Now the people complained about their hardships in the hearing of the Lord, and when He heard them His anger was aroused. Then fire from the Lord burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp. When the people cried out to Moses, he prayed to the Lord and the fire died down." - Numbers 11:1-2 Hebrews 11:6 is a well-known Bible verse which mentions that if someone does not believe, he cannot satisfy God. Faith is essential in order to receive from God. The evil one uses two weapons to ruin our faith, these are fear and anxiety. You believe in God, but suddenly you notice that fear and anxiety come over you. Fear and anxiety are the greatest enemies of our faith. We have to fight against them so that our faith will not to be destroyed. We need faith as through faith we receive from God. Disabling your own faith There is, however, another thing which destroys our own faith and that is grumble and complain. The evil one uses fear and anxiety to destroy our faith, but we ourselves crush our faith by grumbling and complaining. In the Old Testament you read that the people of Israel started to complain in every difficult situation. You grumble and complain when you are not satisfied with the circumstances. Reasons to grumble and complain There are various reasons to complain. One is self-pity. You are sad because of what people did to you or because of your difficulties. Another cause is the longing for pity from others. Everyone should feel sorry for you as you are the 'victim.' Anger and bitterness could also be reasons to grumble and complain. For example, you are angry with God and influence others with your dissatisfaction. I advise you not to feel sorry for people who have bitterness in their hearts. It is better to tell them to stop the grumbling and complaining. All these things come from unbelief. When your heart is full of faith and gratitude to God, you will say: 'God is with me. God takes care of me.' Then it does not even occur in you to complain. https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. ⏤ Psalm 119:105 God shapes the world by prayer. ⏤ E.M. Bounds Bless to us, our Father, the words we have just read from the holy book. We thank You for the Bible, in which we may learn Your will, where You have told us so clearly what pleases You in conduct and character, and have warned us so plainly against the things that are sinful, that displease You, and that will bring harm and curse to those who do them. We thank You, too, for the promises and comforts of Your word. You have filled the sacred pages with them. They shine like stars in our night. In the time of our darkness, of sorrow or trial, they give us light. We pray for grace to understand Your word better and better. Incline us to love it. Its holiness makes our hearts disinclined to turn to it. Teach us to love it more, to receive it more cheerfully, to make it the guide of our life. May it become indeed a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. May it be rod and staff to us. We would hide it in our heart so that it shall transform our life, keeping us from sin and leading and impelling us to all holiness. We pray for our home and for all our friends. But we would pray for all men. We pray for all who love the Lord Jesus Christ, wherever they may be. We pray for all sorts and conditions of people—for the evil and the good, for the poor, the sick, the tempted, the sinning. We pray especially for any who are our enemies. If we have done anything to make them enemies, help us to remove the evil so that the enmity may be destroyed. We pray for grace to live peacefully with all people, as far as it depends on us, and to be gentle, meek, unselfish, and patient. Forgive our many sins and grant us Your favor. We ask in Jesus’ precious name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/71/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🌺🌹🎁🎀💝 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. MONDAY SEPTEMBER 14, 2O26. "TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE" '...I have set before you life and death...choose life...’  Deuteronomy 30:19 NIV CHOICE IS the greatest power God gave you. Too many of us just accept our lives—we don’t become leaders of ourselves. As a result, we can’t get out of our own way. Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel wrote in 'Souls On Fire' that when you die and go to meet your Maker, you’re not going to be asked why you didn’t become a Messiah or find a cure for cancer. All you’re going to be asked is, ‘Why didn’t you become you? Why didn’t you become all that you are?’ Fulfilling God’s will for your life requires taking responsibility for yourself and your life. How do you do that? By saying yes to God first—then to yourself. Every time you say yes, you open yourself up to your God-given potential and to the greatest of possibilities. If you’re used to saying no, you may find this difficult. If that is true in your case, then at least be willing to say ‘maybe.’ One day a father whose child was chronically ill asked Jesus to heal him. ‘Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!’’’ (Mark 9:23-24 NKJV). If you’re a self-doubter, pray that same prayer. God will answer it. Never forget that you are unique, possessing talents, experiences and opportunities that no one else has ever had—or ever will have. You’re responsible to become all God made you to be, not only for your own benefit but for everyone else's. Bible In A Year: 2 Cor 11:16 – 13:14, Matt 25:31-40, Ps 19, Pro 21:3.

[13/09, 10:29 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* MONDAY, 14TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *WHEN RESERVED GOD'S BLESSINGS ARE DEFERRED* *TEXT:* PSALM 89:25-27.  25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. 26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. 27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. *Timeless Truth:*_"Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name... Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest...He shall build an house for my name"_(1 Chronicles 22:8-10). *INTRODUCTION* God has prepared and reserved blessings, privileges and divine purposes for everyone of His children. Yet, sometimes, what God has ordained does not manifest at the expected time. Such delay does not mean denial. David had prepared to build the temple and had made all things ready for the construction. However, God did not permit him, but transferred the project to his son to do so because he had shed much blood (1 Chronicles 22:8-10). Elijah was ordained and commanded to anoint both Elisha and Jehu as a matter of privilege. *"And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room"* (1 King 19:16). Elijah could only anoint his successor Elisha while the responsibility of anointing Jehu was shifted to Elisha by divine rearrangement (2 Kings 9:1-13). When someone has favour with God, rather than the person losing what God promised him, God in his sovereignty may decide to transfer the fulfilment of the blessing to someone dear to the person's heart, especially the son. b. David was chosen and anointed by God, but the full expression of his kingship was preceded by seasons of waiting, rejection and hardship. The text reminds us that God’s promises are certain, but their manifestation may occur according to His sovereign timetable. When reserved blessings are deferred, faith must remain alive, character must be developed and dependence upon God must become stronger. Furthermore, saints must be extra careful so that they will fulfil God's purposes for their lives and ministry. *1. Divine Reach* God promised to extend David's influence from the sea to the rivers. This speaks of divine enlargement and influence. He promised David an expansion and prosperity. *"I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers"*. The full fulfilment was transferred to his son Solomon. David could not enjoy this fully in his lifetime. 1 Kings 4:24 states that Solomon had dominion over all regions west of the Euphrates River and enjoyed *"peace on all sides round about him"*. 1 Kings 4:25 notes that Judah and Israel lived safely, with everyone dwelling under their own vine and fig tree throughout his lifetime. This era of rest was built upon the groundwork laid by his father, King David, who subdued surrounding conflicts, but he himself did not fully experience and enjoy them. From the desert where he was confined to take care of the sheep, he came to national prominence. He did not really have any rest as Saul was chasing him from one wilderness to another. His immorality and the consequent family problems created a dark spot in his life and made part of his life unenviable. God's promise of peace, prosperity and expansion which he could have enjoyed was transferred to his son. b. God can reserve great territories, opportunities, achievements and spheres of influence for His people. However, the promise may preceed the possession by a considerable period. The people to whom He promised might not even enjoy the blessings except the generations that followed if they were careless with those blessings. David was anointed king long before he actually, occupied the throne. Furthermore, a deferred blessing should therefore, not make us conclude that God has forgotten us. God's delay may be preparing us for the dimension of blessing He has already reserved for us. We must continue walking faithfully, while waiting for divine enlargement. *Question* What really made David not enjoy the promised blessing that God had to transfer the full manifestation to his son? *2. Declaration of Relationship* a. *"He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation"*. The greatest inheritance and blessings anyone can receive from Christ is the blessings of an endowed relationship. Any worshipper, no matter how zealous, who lacks the assurance of a personal relationship with God is in a pitiable and not privileged state. The greatest blessing is not merely what God gives, but who God is to us. David would recognize God as his Father, his God and the rock of his salvation. When blessings are deferred, God may be drawing us into deeper fellowship with Him. Waiting seasons can expose whether we desire God Himself or merely God's gifts. A believer who knows God as Father can remain confident even when the promised blessing appears delayed. The relationship sustains the faith until the manifestation arrives. b. The only route to have God as a Father is simply by receiving Christ as Lord and Saviour. *"As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God"*. The privilege of divine sonship is the greatest privilege any mortal can receive from God in this life. All other lasting and enduring divine blessings flow from this relationship. *Question* Do you have the assurance of the Holy Spirit that you are a child of God? If the blessing I am expecting is delayed, will I still confidently call God my Father, my God, and my Rock? *3. Designated Rise* a. *"Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth"* The natural firstborn in a family, as used in the Old Testament, is worthy of double honour in the family compared to other siblings. While the firstborn may retain his position as the first born, the privileges of the firstborn can be transferred to someone else in the family. Reuben was the firstborn in the family of Jacob, but due to incest, he lost the privilege while retaining the title. The authority of the firstborn was transferred to Judah while Joseph received the double portion from Jacob as his two children, Ephraim and Manasseh, were privileged to be added to replace Joseph as tribes in Israel (Genesis 48:22; 49:3,4, 8). However, the concept of firstborn is never restricted to the natural family set up in the Scriptures. The fact that God promised David that *"I will make thee my firstborn"* is an indication that he was not firstborn and neither borne by God, but divine privileged and lifted him to that position, privilege and authority. God also said *"Israel is My son, even My firstborn"* (Exodus 4:22). Obviously, God was referring to Israel as a specially privileged nation above all other nations on earth. So the main thing in firstborn is that of special privilege and portion above all in the same family or comity of nations. Some religions fail to understand this. God had reserved a position of special honour and authority over all the kings for David, and no human opposition can ultimately cancel God's purpose. However, the manifestation was transferred to his Seed Jesus. b. Jesus was called the Son of God in several places of the Scriptures. He was called the first begotten of the dead (Revelation 1:5) which means the first person to ever be resurrected from the dead with a resurrected body. He is also called the only begotten Son of God (John 3:16). Nobody in the Bible is given that privilege, honour and authority of being the only begotten Son of God except Jesus. The title shows the special relationship Jesus has with the Father which no other personality has. The repentant believers in Christ are also given the sonship privilege (not firstborn) above all the persons created by God (John 1:12). Christianity and not a religion, but more of living in Father- son relationship with God. David was specially favoured by God that though the promise was not fully manifested during his lifetime, it was transferred to his Seed, the only begotten Son of God. *Question* Are you a child of God? What are the privileges you have that even saints in the Old Testament don't have? *Prayer Points* 1.Father, strengthen my faith to wait patiently for every blessing and promise You have reserved for me, in Jesus' name 🙏. 2.Lord, let every delayed blessing ordained for my life receive divine acceleration according to Your perfect timing, in Jesus' name 🙏. 3.Father, deepen my relationship with You during every season of waiting and keep me from seeking Your gifts above Yourself, in Jesus' name 🙏. 4.Lord, let every divine purpose concerning our life come to fulfilment and keep Your children from wrongs that will make their blessings to be deferred to others 🙏. *HYMN:* My Portion for ever *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* NUMBERS 14-15.

He famously demanded and received adoration as a living god. He was quoted as saying, "Remember that I have the right to do anything to anybody". He humiliated his senators by making them run behind his litter or forcing them to fight for his amusement.* *Unlike Emperor Caligula, David knew his limits as Israel's king. The Lord promised to make him "higher than the kings of the earth" in our text, yet he constantly prayed to God in humility. "He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation". This virtue of constantly depending on God and ascribing greatness and supremacy to Him was what preserved King David on the throne, despite several attempts on his life.* *Humility comes from the heart. It is a product of grace through heart circumcision. It manifests the virtue of self-abasement and resentment for the praises of men. Unlike popular thinking, where the rich and powerful are said to be inherently proud while the poor and weak are supposedly meek and humble, the state of the heart is the determining factor, and not the richness or emptiness of the pockets. We have seen poor people and even beggars, whose character and boisterous nature are repulsive. And conversely, we have seen people of power and influence maintain such a commodious attitude that draws everyone to them.* *God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. Like David, we are bound to remember our little beginnings, no matter what heights we may have attained in life presently. We must, in humility, acknowledge God and ascribe all greatness to Him alone. And if, for any reason, our talents, knowledge and achievements in life inadvertently draw unwarranted attention to us, we should politely insist that God is behind it all. We should avoid big names that kill a puppy. We must reject all adulation and hide ourselves behind the cross whenever the world attempts to deify us.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*The heart is the factory where our attitudes are manufactured.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *NUMBERS 14-15*📜📜 Humility In Greatness https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS: 259: MORE LIKE THE MASTER; GHS 6: YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION; AND GHS 189: TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna14thSeptember2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [13/09, 10:29 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```MONDAY 14TH SEPTEMBER, 2026``` *SACRIFICIAL GIVING SANCTIONED* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🤜🏽📨🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:LUKE 21:1-4```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had" (LUKE 21:4).*_ *There was a young man born to Christian parents.

That was sacrificial giving, portraying the depth of her love for God.* *Friend, giving to God willingly, cheerfully and sacrificially shows the depth of your love for Him and His kingdom.

It brings torment to the body. This is one of the weapons used by our archenemy (Satan). Fear can be triggered by past experiences, failures, death, insecurity, etc. It is *'False Experiences Appearing Real'.* However, sin is the greatest tool that provokes fear. Abraham, in our Bible passage, told a lie because of fear. God was not happy with his action. His fear brought punishment upon the women in Abimelech's house. God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). You have power in the name of Jesus, power in the blood of Jesus, and power in the word of God to conquer in all situations. *To possess this confidence, you need Jesus if you are still telling lies, stealing, abusing, and doing all manner of evil.

Morning devotion for today. MD.i. Morning Prayer Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted from the world. ⏤ James 1:27 True prayer is a way of life, not just for use in cases of emergency. ⏤ Billy Graham Father, it is not a holy world into which we must now go forth. It is full of sin. We must meet many temptations. Then it is not an easy life into which we have to go. It has its tasks, its duties, its responsibilities, and its conflicts. We shall have our burdens to carry and our duties to do. Yet we would not refuse to go forth into the world. It is Your voice that calls us forth—and wherever Your voice calls us, we would go without hesitation. We have no strength or wisdom of our own to make us equal to all the work and struggle of the day—but we know that when You send us forth, You will give us all the strength and wisdom we shall need. You have promised that as our days—so shall our strength be. Fill us with Your grace, that we may be able to move through this evil world without faltering in our faithfulness. We are not of the world, but belong to Heaven, and are citizens of the kingdom of Jesus. Help us to live out here on earth, our true life, the life of Jesus, the life of Heaven. May we be enabled to keep ourselves unspotted from the world. May we live so purely, so earnestly, with such abundant life, that our influence shall be a real force for Jesus. We ask for grace to make our common weekday work holy and beautiful, with the beauty of Christlikeness. May we be as Jesus to everyone we meet. In our social life, our business, our responsibilities at home, in all our friendships, in our leisure—may we show the sweetness of the love of Jesus. May You keep us, each and all, in all our goings and comings. Bless us—and use us to bless the world. Bring us together in the evening. We ask all these favors for Jesus’ sake. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/71/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* SUNDAY 13TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD. *TOPIC:* FAITHFULNESS IN MARRIAGE. *TEXT:* MALACHI 2:13-15. 13 “This is another thing you do: you flood the altar of the LORD with tears, weeping and wailing because He no longer pays attention to your offering nor takes pleasure in it from your hand. 14 Yet you ask, ‘For what reason?’ Because the LORD acts as a witness between you and the wife of your youth, because you were unfaithful to her, your partner, the wife of your covenant. [Gen 2:23] [1Co 7:10] 15 Did He not make them one? And the vestige of the spirit remains in Him. And why did He make them one? He was seeking godly offspring. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and don’t be unfaithful to the wife of your youth. *TOPIC:* FAITHFULNESS IN MARRIAGE. *THE MESSAGE:* God is faithful to His promises to man not because of any good man has done but His mercy. God demands faithfulness in marriage. Husband and wife must not take lightly or downplay the bond that is between them. Couples must be committed to maintaining a satisfying intimacy and always being captivated by each other. Unfortunately, some husbands are captivated by adulteresses. They seek to find pleasure in other women rather than their wives. Women are not left out of this sin either. Know that God never intends marriages to be boring, pleasureless, and dull. God is pleased when you are faithful (Prov. 3:3-4). Are you guilty of infidelity? Stop it! Make God happy by being faithful. *REFLECTION:* The marriage bed must be kept pure. *PRAYER:* Lord, help me to be committed to my spouse. 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:* JONAH 1-2. ED.i. THE PRECIOUS COMFORTING LOVE OF GOD "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever." - John 14:16 Jesus calls the Holy Spirit our Helper or Comforter. A comforter is someone who assists and encourages you in times of need, pain and misery. It reminds me of a loving father or mother who watches over the child. When I was young and afraid of the storm, I crawled far under the bed cover. But when the storm did not stop, I went to my mother and was allowed to hide close to her in her large bed while she was comforting me. I then felt safe. How sad is it that there are children who have never had such a person to look after them! This is what a comforter does. The Holy Spirit is the Comforter The Holy Spirit comforts your soul in the same way. He makes sure that your soul feels safe with Him. Jesus spoke about the Holy Spirit as a Comforter because He knew that times would come when the disciples would need a genuine Comforter. Today too we see that Christians need a genuine Comforter in their lives. There is a lot of sadness and struggle. I sometimes hear people say: 'Yes, but I don't notice this especially now that I need a comforter.' And yet, dear readers, the Holy Spirit comforts you, because time and again He allows you to experience that He is there for you. However, it is so important to walk by faith and to believe what God said: 'I will never leave you nor forsake you. I will be with you all the days of your life.'  While you do not feel anything yet, you will still thank God and tell Him that you trust His Word. Then suddenly you will come out of that dark tunnel, there is light around you, and you receive peace and joy. God will comfort you with His precious love! https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. ⏤ Hebrews 4:9 Prayer is the ascent of the soul to God. ⏤ John Bunyan Our heavenly Father, help us to draw near to You this evening. Our thoughts wander so easily that it is hard for us to bring them into a reverent attitude. Our lives gravitate earthward. The old nature in us is strong. The influences around us are worldly. When we would do good—evil is present with us. We cannot even pray without Your help. Help us, O God. Have mercy upon us, and draw us by Your Spirit to Yourself. Enable us to commune with You. Put into our hearts holy thoughts, and may we breathe them back to You in prayers. Fill us with Your love—and then we shall be loving as You are. We beseech You, our Father, to make this Sunday truly a day of blessing and good in our lives. Our minds have been turned to holy things; may we be holier through all the week because of this. May our minds carry the sacred memories of the day, and may they be like sweet songs singing in us wherever we go. May invisible spiritual things be more real to us because of these Sunday hours. May the hold of the world upon us be loosened, and may its power over us be lessened through this day’s holy influences. So may abiding blessing be ours, as we leave another Sunday behind us, and may our lives attest to the reality of our union with You. We thank You for the hope of the eternal rest of which this earthly day is a token and a pledge. Prepare us for that rest which remains for Your people. May the influence of this heavenly hope draw upon us mightily while we journey through this world. May its holiness keep us from sinning. May we get nearer in heart and life to You each day as we draw nearer each day to Your glory. We ask in Jesus’ precious name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/70/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good morning, brethren. Pray for God's blessings on us as worship in our various churches. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀💝🌺🎁🌹🎀MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 13, 2O26. "WHEN CONFLICT COMES HOME (2)" '...Let there be no strife between you and me…for we are brothers.’  Genesis 13:8 NAS FAMILY CONFLICT brings out the worst and the best in all of us. But conflict itself isn’t the problem—character is! Conflict just reveals what’s important to us. Abram’s priority was the family; Lot’s was ‘getting rich.’ Abram’s concern was harmony; Lot’s was self-preservation. Abram was driven by his faith; Lot by his greed. Abram was a giver; Lot was a taker. But watch how the story turned out. 1) What should have happened? The junior partner should have submitted to the senior; the follower should have deferred to the leader; the less-spiritual should have acknowledged the more-spiritual. But Lot failed on all counts! 2) What could have happened? As the God-appointed leader Abram could have assumed top dog status and enforced his will, but he didn’t. He could have been concerned about winning, but wasn’t. He could have called in his debts with Lot, but refused to. 3) What did happen? First, Abram elevated relationship above personal advantage. Second, he relinquished his ‘rights’, to keep peace in the family. Third, he ‘turned the other cheek’ and deferred to Lot. The greater gave way to the lesser. The stronger made allowance for the weaker. The mature showed mercy toward the immature. Did it make Abram the weaker man and Lot the stronger? Did Abram lose and Lot win? No! God always has the last word. And it was this: ‘…Look…northward and southward and eastward and westward…all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your descendants forever’ (Genesis 13:14-15 NAS). Doing things God’s way is the certain road to peace and prosperity. Bible In A Year: 2 Cor 9:1 – 11:15, Matt 25:22-30, Ps 24, Pro 21:1-2.

[12/09, 8:19 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* SUNDAY 13TH SEPTEMBER, 2026 *TRIUMPHING IN CHRIST AND SPREADING HIS FRAGRANCE* *TEXT:* 2 CORINTHIANS 2:14–17 14. Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 15. For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: 16. To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? 17. For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. *Timeless Truth* _Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven._(Matthew 5:14) *INTRODUCTION* In 2010, Jessica Watson, an Australian teenager, completed a solo, nonstop circumnavigation of the world by sea at the age of 16. The journey was extremely dangerous. She faced severe storms, enormous waves, isolation, and the constant possibility of failure. Yet she continued because she had a clear goal and refused to allow the difficulties of the journey to determine her final destination. Her story illustrates an important principle: the journey may be difficult, but purpose gives us the strength to continue. Apostle Paul's ministry was also marked by difficulty. He experienced opposition, persecution, rejection, imprisonment and hardship. Yet he could confidently say: *Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.* (2 Corinthians 2:14) Paul the apostle did not say that every circumstance was easy. He said that God always leads His people in triumph in Christ. Furthermore, Apostle Paul's life was not only a testimony of victory; it was also a fragrance. Wherever he went, his life and ministry made Christ known. The passage therefore, challenges us to consider three questions: Are we walking in Christ's triumph? Are we spreading Christ's fragrance? And are we serving Christ with sincerity? We are not called to use Christianity as a means of personal gain. We are called to represent Christ faithfully “in the sight of God.” This should transform the way we approach ministry. We do not preach merely because people are listening. We preach because God is watching. We do not serve because people will applaud. We serve because Christ is worthy. We do not live holy lives merely to protect our reputation. We live holy lives because we belong to Jesus. Therefore, let us go into our homes, churches, workplaces, schools, businesses and communities as representatives of Christ. *1. The Triumph of Christ's Victory* a. Apostle Paul begins with thanksgiving because the victory belongs to God. He does not say, "I always lead myself in triumph." He says God leads him. Christian victory does not come from self-confidence, but from dependence upon Christ. We may face temptation, disappointment, opposition, or hardship, but Christ remains our source of strength. b. Paul the apostle says God “always” leads His people in triumph. This does not mean Christians will never experience suffering or apparent defeat. Paul himself endured imprisonment, beatings, rejection and hardship. Rather, it means that nothing can ultimately defeat God's purpose for those who belong to Christ. Do not interpret temporary difficulties as evidence that God has abandoned you. Paul's response to God's victory was thanksgiving: Victory should produce worship. *Questions* (i). When I face difficulties, do I focus more on my problems or on Christ's power? (ii) Do I regularly thank God for His victories, including victories I may not immediately recognize? *2. The Fragrance of Christ's Witness* a. Apostle Paul moves from triumph to testimony. God uses His people to spread the knowledge of Christ. The gospel is compared to a fragrance that spreads. Every Christian is called to make Christ known—not only through preaching, but also through everyday conduct. Our homes, workplaces, schools, communities and churches should encounter something of Christ through us. b. Our character should make the gospel attractive. People should see Christ in our patience, honesty, kindness, forgiveness, humility and integrity. A believer's conduct can either strengthen or weaken his or her testimony. Paul the apostle says the fragrance has different effects: The gospel demands a response. Some will receive Christ; others will reject Him. *Questions* *(i)*. What kind of spiritual "fragrance" do people experience when they interact with me? (ii) Does my conduct attract people toward Christ or create barriers to the gospel? *3. The Truthfulness of Christian Ministry* a. Paul the apostle distinguishes genuine Christian ministry from those who manipulate God's Word for personal advantage. He refused to corrupt or manipulate God's Word. Christian teachers and preachers must communicate God's Word faithfully rather than changing it to please people. b. Christian service should flow from a sincere desire to please God. We should examine why we serve. Are we serving for God's glory or for recognition, money, influence or applause? Paul the apostle emphasizes that ministry happens: God sees both the public ministry and the private motives behind it. *Questions* (i). Are my motives for Christian service genuinely centered on God's glory? (ii). Am I faithful to God's Word even when compromise would make me more popular? *Prayer Points* 1. Lord Jesus, help me to depend upon Your strength and walk confidently in the victory You have accomplished for me.🙏 2. Father, make my life a beautiful fragrance of Christ wherever I go. Let my words, attitudes and actions point people to You.🙏 3. Lord, purify my motives and help me serve You sincerely, faithfully and without seeking selfish recognition or personal gain.🙏 4.Father , let the Holy Spirit, use my life and testimony to spread the knowledge of Christ and draw unbelievers to salvation.🙏 *Hymn:* Let the Beauty ofJesus Be seen in Me *THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* NUMBERS 11-13 [12/09, 8:19 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DAILY Ⓜ️ANNA - (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR ADULTS) SUNDAY 13TH SEPTEMBER, 2026``` *DANGER OF CORRUPTING THE GOSPEL* 📓📖🎚️🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🗣️📢📣🤪⚠️‼️🛑❌⚖️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:2 CORINTHIANS 2:14-17```📜📜 🔑📖```KEY VERSE:``` _*"For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ" (2 CORINTHIANS 2:17).*_ *In the _Spokesman Review_ of December 8, 1984, we find the story of Pedro De Mesones, who served a three-year prison sentence for mail fraud and conspiracy. He told a congressional panel that in three years of "expediting" medical degrees, he provided about 100 clients with false transcripts showing they had fulfilled medical requirements of schools they didn't attend. "Clients paid me from $5,225 to $27,000 for my services, De Mesones said. In all, I earned about $1.5 million in those three years. I only got to keep about $500,000 of this total. The rest went for bribes and expenses."* *Fraud not only exists in the secular world, but it is sadly present too among the clergy. There are so-called men of God who carry certificates from Bible schools and colleges, but showcase lives that are uncomplimentary of their calling. Paul, in his second letter to the Corinthians, breaks it all down for us. He tells of the air of aura around the minister, which draws both saints and sinners unto him to hear the truth about the divine demands upon man. He warns that the gospel will become a savour of death unto death if not made a savour of life unto life.* *Once the gospel is corrupted, it becomes a different variant, or 'another gospel', which lacks the essential ingredients to make it whole. Those whom the Apostle accuses of the contrary practice, of corrupting the word of God, seem to have been Jews, who accepted Jesus to be Christ and His gospel to be divine, yet adulterated it by intermingling with it the law of Moses and their own traditions. And in doing this, their principal intention was to make a gain of Christ, which, consequently, brought them under a necessity of concealing the end they proposed, as well as the means they used to obtain it.* *On the contrary, those who intend the good of humanity are by no means concerned to hide their intentions. They come out plain. They do not preach a gospel with private interpretation. If the benefit we purpose in speaking is to ourselves alone, it is often in our interest to keep it private. If the benefit we propose is to others, it is always in our interest to make it public. Corrupting the gospel can be in the form of adding, subtracting or embellishing it with worldly contents so that it loses its form and strength. We should, as believers and preachers of the word, be very vigilant and contend for the faith once delivered unto the saints. We should avoid all forms of adulation for errant preachers who preach the gospel to fill up their bellies. We should always live our lives in conformity with Christ's demands.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*The gospel corrupters soon perish with their filthy lucre.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *NUMBERS 11-13*📜📜 Danger Of Corrupting The Gospel https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 23: NO OTHER PLEA; GHS 49: LET OTHERS SEE JESUS IN YOU; GHS 73: JESUS ONLY IS OUR MESSAGE; AND GHS 83: THY WORD HAVE I HID IN MY HEART* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna13thSeptember2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [12/09, 8:19 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```SUNDAY 13TH SEPTEMBER, 2026``` *GOD HATES LYING LIPS* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️👄🫦🗣️⚠️‼️🛑❌⚖️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:PROVERBS 12:18-22```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight" (PROVERBS 12:22).*_ *According to the _Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary,_ "Lying is, to say or write something that you know is not true."

She discovered it was easier to hold her temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally, the day came when the girl did not lose her temper at all. Over time, she overcame the problem of anger, and she was so happy. The mother then suggested the girl now pull out one nail for each day that she was able to control her temper. The days passed and she happily told her mother that she has pulled out all the nails. The mother took her daughter by the hand and led her to the fence. She said, *"You have done well my daughter, but look at the holes in the fence, the fence will never be the same again." "When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one.

Blessed [be] the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, [and] my fingers to fight: My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and [he] in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. ⏤ Psalm 144:1-2 Prayer is the language of a man burdened with a sense of need. ⏤ E.M. Bounds Blessed are You, O God, our strength, who teaches our hands to war and our fingers to fight. Teach us to war against all wickedness. You are our goodness and our fortress, our high tower, our deliverer, our shield, and the God in whom we trust. You are our refuge and strength, our keeper in the midst of trouble, and our deliverer. Lord, what is man that You take knowledge of him? Man is like vanity; his days are as a shadow that passes away. Yet we rejoice in Your love and thought for Your redeemed children. Though we are so frail, like a flower, like the reed, bruised and broken—still You do indeed take account of us. You have put Your image upon us. You have put Your Spirit within us. You have made us Your own children. We are dearer to You than all other things in the universe because we are Your own children, and You are our Father, and because You have redeemed us at the price of the blood of Your own Son. In the person of Your Son, we are as dear to You as He is. Help us to realize our nearness and dearness to You. We would rejoice as a family in Your goodness and grace. Rid us and deliver us from the hand of evil men, whose mouths speak vanity and whose right hands are right hands of falsehood. May our sons be as plants grown up in their youth. May our daughters be as cornerstones polished after the similitude of a palace. May our garners be full, that we may feed the hungry. May we all honor You by holy and beautiful lives. Fill our home today with Your love, and may all of us receive from You grace, mercy, and truth, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Good evening, brethren. 1 Evening devotion for today. ED.1. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* SATURDAY 12TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD. *TOPIC:* CARE AND COMFORT. *TEXT:* 1 SAMUEL1:3-8. 3. Year after year this man went up from his town to worship and sacrifice to the Lord Almighty at Shiloh, where Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were priests of the Lord. 4. Whenever the day came for Elkanah to sacrifice, he would give portions of the meat to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters. 5. But to Hannah he gave a double portion because he loved her, and the Lord had closed her womb._ 6. Because the Lord had closed Hannah’s womb, her rival kept provoking her in order to irritate her. 7. This went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the Lord, her rival provoked her till she wept and would not eat. 8. Her husband Elkanah would say to her, “Hannah, why are you weeping? Why don’t you eat? Why are you downhearted? Don’t I mean more to you than ten sons?” *TOPIC:* CARE AND COMFORT. *THE MESSAGE:* To care is to show due concern, while comfort is to encourage, help, and strengthen someone in pain or anguish. Hannah was always in pain as Peninnah mocked and ridiculed her because she was barren. Her husband, Elkanah, showed care by giving her a double portion of the meat to comfort her. Spouses need to show care and concern for each other when faced with challenges. When you care and comfort one another, you lighten their burdens and give them a reason to strive. Sadly, some people do not pay attention to what is happening to their spouses whether they are happy or in pains. Some even go to the extent of insulting them publicly. Are you like that? Change and imitate Elkanah's care for Hannah. *REFLECTION:* Care and comfort strengthen family bonds. *PRAYER:* Lord Jesus, help me to care for and comfort those in pain. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* PROVERBS 3:34. He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble and oppressed. *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* OBADIAH 1. ED.ii. THE DEATH OF STEPHEN "While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed: 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.' Then he fell on his knees and cried out: 'Lord, do not hold this sin against them.' When he had said this, he fell asleep." - Acts 7:59-60 You do not know when you will stand before the throne of God. It is important that we are always ready to meet Jesus. The story of Stephen's death allows us to think about this. Stephen died in the middle of his ministry for the Lord. The apostles were busy preaching the gospel and they said: 'Let us appoint men who can deal with the day-to-day affairs so we will be able to focus entirely on prayers and the ministry of the Word.' Seven men were appointed and one of them was Stephen who was full of faith and the Holy Spirit. Many miracles happened: people were healed, and others were delivered from evil spirits (see Acts 6). The opponents of the gospel were also aware of this. In this time while Stephen was preaching and God was doing great miracles, Stephen was stoned and removed from his ministry. Many people wonder: 'Why Lord'? It is a great privilege if you are taken away while you are busy working for Him. However, the Lord's work always goes on. God's work cannot be stopped. Stephen's death was painful. He was surrounded by people who hated him. They gnashed their teeth at him and stoned him. Yet his passing was full of victory. He did not surrender to feelings of hate or revenge. Stephen was full of God's love and prayed: 'Lord, do not hold this sin against them' (Acts 7:60). When Jesus waited for Stephen at the gates of heaven, He must have said: 'Good and faithful servant.' How will it be when we die? Are we ready to meet Jesus today? https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening prayer for today. E.D.i. Evening Prayer I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. ⏤ Psalm 138:2 The reality of prayer is found in a life that is devoted to God. ⏤ Andrew Murray We will praise You, O God, with our whole heart. We will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your lovingkindness and for Your truth, for You have magnified Your word above all Your name. In the day when we cried to You, You answered us. We thank You for Your love, which never fails, and for Your grace, which is given for every moment of need. Though You are high, yet You have regard for the lowly. Your eyes see even the least of Your redeemed children. The youngest child is watched over by You. You hear the cry of the birds in their hunger. We rejoice to think of the care You have for every child of Your own, and how secure we are in the keeping of Your love. You have been, and You are, our dwelling place. Though we walk in the midst of trouble, You will protect us. You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of the Evil One, who seeks our destruction. Forsake not the work of Your own hands. Allow us not to fall away into darkness and into the pains of eternal death, but deliver us, we beseech You, from all sin, and save us to eternal life. May this evening be one of preparation for the coming Sunday. Grant us rest so that we may be ready for the day's duties and worship. Then turn our thoughts and affections toward Sunday worship, that we may be in the Spirit on the Lord's day. Give holy thoughts to all who are preparing to speak the words of life to Your people. Warm their hearts with Your love, and hold them near to You, that they may come from the very secret of Your presence to stand and speak for You before others. We ask all in the name of our Redeemer. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/69/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🎀💝🎁🌺🌹MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 12, 2O26. "WHEN CONFLICT COMES HOME (1)" '...Let there be no strife between you and me...’ Genesis 13:8 NAS THE CONFLICT between Abram and Lot teaches us important principles about our families. Lot had lived peacefully in his Uncle Abram’s home. Abram had taken him along on the journey of faith, when suddenly conflict arose. And because conflict reveals character, Lot showed his true colours. Since their growing herds were too big to share the same pastures, Abram suggested they split the land between them, offering Lot first choice. Lot ‘…chose for himself…’ (Genesis 13:11 NAS) the best land, leaving the rest to his uncle. Lot moved to rich, sinful Sodom; Abram built an altar to the Lord. Same genes—totally different values! So: 1) Consider the facts. Abram was God’s appointed leader and Israel’s primary patriarch. God had promised him a homeland, fatherhood of a great nation, blessing and protection. And above all these, God promised that in him, ‘…All the families of the earth will be blessed!’ (Genesis 12:3 NAS). In practical, day-to-day terms, Abram was the senior partner and major stockholder in the family business. He had shown love and generosity to his nephew, and in the crunch, valued their relationship over personal interests. Abram, therefore, deserved consideration and deference from his nephew. But Lot never gave it to him. 2) Consider the point. For the family’s sake, Abram chose not to ‘pull rank,’ or ‘insist on his rights,’ or ‘show who’s boss.’ He proved that God alone vindicates us! We shouldn’t even attempt to vindicate ourselves. Abram chose grace over law, humility over pride, self-denial over ‘rights,’ mercy over justice, love over lust, and character over popular opinion.

[11/09, 8:07 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* SATURDAY, 12TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *SOBERING REFLECTIONS ON HUMAN LIFE* *TEXT:* JOB 34:20-22.  20.In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand. 21 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. 22 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. *Timeless Truth:*_"For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings"_ (Job 34:21). *INTRODUCTION* Most people who will die tomorrow, except those told by their Physician, would not believe and accept their time to vacate this planet earth has come. The following song captures this reality of imminent death. "Some will die tomorrow As many have today, This life is so uncertain we can see, Someone the call will answer, We know not who it will be, Maybe it's you and then Maybe it's me". The question is "Who will be the next to face eternity?" Human life on earth is brief, uncertain and constantly exposed to the sovereignty of God. Job 34:20–22 reminds us that no human being, regardless of strength, status, wealth or achievement, can escape the limitations of earthly existence or the searching eyes of God. These verses call us to live wisely, soberly and in readiness for eternity. Since our earthly journey is temporary and our deeds are fully known to God, we must make every moment count for Him. *1. The Brevity of the Soul on Earth* a. *"In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.”* The passage presents the uncertainty and brevity of human life. Death does not always announce its arrival; sometimes it comes suddenly, at a moment when people least expect it. Many die, "after a brief illness" while some die without any visible sickness. The mighty may appear secure because of their position, possessions, influence or accomplishments, yet none can prevent the appointed end of earthly life. Scripture therefore, declares, *“Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour”* (James 4:14). Psalm 90:12 urges us, *“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”* The brevity of life should not produce fear in the believer, but should awaken seriousness, gratitude, holy living and readiness for eternity. b. Children die just like adults too. Humans die, like animals die though they have different destinations after death. The most important question is, where will you spend eternity? *Question* If your earthly life is so brief and uncertain, are you using your remaining days wisely for God and eternity? *2. The Beaming Searchlight from Eternity* a. God is not a man. He is the Father of eternity. He does not sleep and neither does he get engaged in what to eat or drink. He has the whole time for Himself. What does He use His time to do? The text gives us one. *"For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.”* God sees all the thoughts, activities and actions of every person as if the person is the only one on earth and as if God has no other business to do. His eyes that were described as *"flames of fire"* (Revelation 1:14) sees all things. He weighs all our thoughts, motives and actions in the balance of truth and holiness. *"By him all actions are weighed"* (1 Samuel 1:2). God, *"is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart"*. Nothing and nobody is hidden from Him. b. God sees every step of every person. Nothing about our lives is hidden from His searching eyes. He sees our public actions and our private decisions, our words and thoughts, our obedience and our disobedience. Hebrews 4:13 declares, *“Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight.”* The awareness that God watches our lives should encourage the righteous and challenge the careless. We may hide things from people, but we cannot hide them from God. His divine searchlight reaches every corner of our lives, reminding us that earthly existence is lived under eternal accountability. *Question* If God sees all your ways, what changes will you make today in your thoughts, choices, relationships and conduct? *3. The Belittling Sinners’ Exhibition* a. Sinners will be condemned to eternal shame and contempt. All humans that ever lived will witness the judgment of every sinner and all hidden and unconfessed sins will be exposed to all to see. No sinner can circumvent it except through repentance. *“There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.”* Sin may be disguised before people, but it can never be concealed from God. Sinners sometimes imagine that secrecy provides safety, but divine omniscience exposes every hidden work. b. Numbers 32:23 warns, *“.....Be sure your sin will find you out.”* Ecclesiastes 12:14 likewise declares that God will bring every work into judgment, including hidden things. Human beings may applaud appearances, but eternity will reveal reality. Therefore, the wise person abandons secret sin, seeks God's mercy and walks transparently before Him. The proper response to God's searching knowledge is not hypocrisy, but repentance and holy living. *Question* Is there any hidden sin or secret practice in your life that you need to surrender to God today? *Prayer Points* 1.Lord, teach me to number my days and to live each day with eternity in view 🙏. 2.Father, help me to use my brief earthly life for Your glory and the advancement of Your kingdom 🙏. 3.Lord, let Your searching light expose and remove every hidden sin and ungodly habit in my life before it is too late 🙏. 4.Father, prepare us all to meet You in eternity and help each of the brethren to finish well in faith, holiness and obedience 🙏. *HYMN:* Where will you spend eternity? *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* NUMBERS 8-10.

In 44 BC, Julius Caesar was named dictator for life (dictator perpetuo) of Rome. North Korea's revered founder, Kim Il-Sung, ordered his doctors to find a way to make him live to 100, taking treatments that range from the bizarre to the sinister to stay young. Kim So-Yeon, his personal physician for many years before she defected to South Korea in 1992, led research at a _"Longevity Centre"_ set up to help in Kim's quest for a longer life, according to a CNN report. It didn't work - he died at 82.* *Man may propose, but God makes the ultimate decision. Nothing exists in perpetuity. Elihu, one of the three argumentative friends of Job, made the remark about the brevity of life. His narrative about man's attempt to control others oppressively wasn't exactly applicable to Job, who was a righteous man, by God's own confession. His statement, nonetheless, is a clear fact about the futility of man's attempt to remain in the spotlight forever. Elihu expanded his remarks by honouring the supremacy of God, who sees the ways of men and retains the divine ability to superintend over our affairs. God possesses the unique ability to bring an end to the regime of proud dictators, who wish to oppress their subjects forever.* *This chapter offers significant insights for leaders who maintain a proud demeanour in their interactions. Reflecting on the downfalls of historical dictators serves as a crucial reminder for contemporary leaders. While the advice from Job's friends may not have alleviated his suffering, their observations on the fleeting nature of life and the eventual consequences of wickedness provide valuable lessons that can inform our own lives and decisions.* *The dialogue surrounding Job reveals several profound lessons. It emphasises that God is just and will reward everyone based on their deeds, regardless of status. Additionally, it reflects on the fleeting nature of life, urging humility and repentance to seek God's mercy. The text advocates against oppression and encourages living a life that, when death comes, even the undertakers will feel sorry. Ultimately, it calls for emulating the humility and compassion of Jesus Christ, which draws many into His grace.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*The thought of our own death should keep us humble.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *NUMBERS 8-10*📜📜 Ambitions Cut Short https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 246: O BROTHER, LIFE'S JOURNEY BEGINNING; GHS 208: THE GREAT JUDGMENT MORNING; AND GHS 251: ONLY REMEMBERED* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna12thSeptember2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [11/09, 8:07 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```SATURDAY 12TH SEPTEMBER, 2026``` *COME NOW FOR A CLEANSING* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🖤🩸🤍🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:ISAIAH 1:11-20```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool" (ISAIAH 1:18).*_ *Leonard Ravenhill asserted, "The greatest miracle that God can do today is to take an unholy man out of an unholy world and make him holy, then put him back into that unholy world and keep him holy in it."

Morning Prayer for today. MD.i. Morning Prayer For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light: ⏤ Ephesians 5:8 Prayer brings God’s omnipotence into the fight for human souls. ⏤ Wesley L. Duewel O God, as the morning has risen upon us, may the Sun of Righteousness also rise upon us. Chase away the shadows of darkness from us, and may we be light in the Lord. Enable us to put off all the works of darkness, whatever belongs to the old evil nature, and to put on the garments of light, doing the works of the day and not of the night. May our light shine before others so that seeing us, they may glorify You. We desire to grow in grace. As the deer pants after the water brooks, so our souls long after You. Our souls thirst for God, for the living God. Nothing else will satisfy them. This world has nothing in it to meet the needs of our immortal spiritual natures. Let us not try to feed ourselves on that which is not bread, but may we learn to bring all our needs to You who alone can satisfy them. We come to You to begin the day so that we may have Your blessing upon it. Nothing is complete without You. As the flowers need the dew and the sunshine to make them fragrant, so our lives need Your blessing to make them truly happy. Lay Your hand upon our heads as we bow before You. Direct our feet in all the day's paths. We want to carry out Your plan, not our own. Order our steps in Your word. Give us our work as we go on. Help us to be truthful, honest, and diligent in all our words and conduct. Prosper us in all our undertakings unless they are wrong. Defeat whatever we undertake that is not agreeable to Your will. We go out now in our Savior's name, and we ask You to take us and use us to do Your will and to bless others. We ask all for Jesus' sake.

Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* FRIDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD. *TOPIC:* FULFILLING MARITAL DUTY. *TEXT:* 1 CORINTHIANS 7:3-5, 10. 3. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. 5. Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 10. To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. *TOPIC:* FULFILLING MARITAL DUTY. *THE MESSAGE:* Sex is God's gift to married people for their pleasure. It is a marital duty that both husband and wife must seek to fulfil. Their bodies belong to each other, and none of them has the right to deprive the other or treat it with contempt. Depriving your partner of your body without any mutual consent gives room for Satan to step into your marriage. Fulfilling marital duties is difficult when couples live separately. For this reason, couples should make a greater effort to avoid such distancing. Additionally, every couple should avoid any situation that may prevent them from fulfilling their marital duties. Do not deprive your partner with the intention to punish. Are you guilty of denying your spouse? Have a rethink and do the needful so that you live peacefully. *REFLECTION:* Fulfil your marital duty. *PRAYER:* Lord, help me to fulfil my marital responsibilities. 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:* AMOS 8-9. ED.ii. HEALING LEAVES "Flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations." - Revelation 22:1-2 The first inheritance man received from God after he was created was a beautiful garden, the Garden of Eden - a paradise that lacked nothing. It was the image of the heavenly paradise with beautiful flowers and trees with delicious fruits. As you know man was banished from the garden, when he sinned. Angels were placed at the entrance to guard the tree of life so man would not eat from it (see Genesis 3:24). Mankind lost the paradise because of the disobedience of the first Adam. The second Adam, the Lord Jesus Christ, has reclaimed that paradise for us. The new Jerusalem In the book of Revelation, the Bible speaks about the New Jerusalem which will descend from heaven. In that city you see the throne of God and from that throne flows a crystal clear river, full of the water which gives life. On both sides of that river are trees with healing leaves. It will be a paradise, because 'no longer will there be any curse' (Revelation 22:3). This is amazing. Everything is holy and healthy. In that city there is God the Father and there is Jesus Christ who loves us with an eternal love. There will be our loved ones who have gone before us. We have the assurance that we will see them with our Lord and Savior around the throne. In this New Jerusalem there are even healing leaves. I will never have to say: 'I am sick.' The Bible says that there will not be any sickness in the New Jerusalem. That is the case because in the middle of that city is the tree of life. Jesus says in John 10:10: 'I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.' https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer Come unto me, all [ye] that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ⏤ Matthew 11:28 God delights to answer prayer because it is His nature to be good and to show mercy. ⏤ Arthur Pink We hear Your voice this evening inviting us to come to You for rest. We need rest, and we thank You for Your ordinance of night, when we can cease our labors and find renewal of strength in the quiet of the evening. We thank You for sleep, which refills nature's exhausted fountains, and renews the life that has been used in the day's experiences. May You give us blessing in sleep tonight. We thank You also for the spiritual rest You give to those who come to You. You alone can give us this rest. You alone can take away sin and the consciousness of guilt and deliver us from sin's penalty and power. You alone can give us rest in the assurance of Your love and Your power to make all things work together for our good. Give us Your peace. We do not ask for all care to be removed from our lives, but for so much of Your life in us that, come what may, our souls shall be quiet in You. As we learn from You, may we find rest for our souls. In the darkness, may You hide us and shelter us. Let no harm befall us. Keep our dwelling from danger. Preserve us all in good health. Sanctify to us all the experiences of this day. Bless all that we have done, and use the words we have spoken. Forgive our mistakes, follies, and all our sins. We ask for blessings on all our friends. Bless our friendships and make them more and more tender, constant, and true. May we all be Your friends—faithful, true, and constant. Help us to receive Your friendship into our hearts, and may its blessing enrich our lives. Forgive us, and grant us Your protecting care this night. We ask in Jesus' precious name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/68/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🌹🎀🎁💝🌺MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 11, 2O26. "A NEW ATTITUDE" '...Change the way you think...’ Romans 12:2 GWT FOR THINGS to change for the better, you must ‘change the way you think.’ For example: a) View setbacks as detours, not dead ends. Winners don’t just face adversity; they embrace it, knowing it leads to future success. b) Tune out the critics and focus on doing your best. Anybody who accomplishes anything worthwhile has to overcome naysayers. c) When you’re afraid, praise God until your faith rebuilds. It may take a while, but praise and thanksgiving never fail, and they strengthen you to go on. d) When you fail, look for the lesson and remember all the times you’ve succeeded. Weed out self-doubt and replace it with scriptural self-talk. e) When you’re heading into battle, visualise yourself winning in God’s strength—with Him ‘…all things are possible’ (Matthew 19:26 NIV). f) Instead of focusing on the past and worrying about the future, focus on the now—that’s where your influence is greatest. Remember, God said, ‘…As your days, so shall your strength be’ (Deuteronomy 33:25 NKJV). g) Instead of complaining, work on identifying solutions, and more will come to you. h) When you’re distracted, focus on your breathing, take a walk and clear your mind, think on what you can control, and surrender the rest to God. i) When you’re lonely, remember the people who’ve helped you this far and who love and support you. j) When you’re fatigued, take time to rest—but never ever give up! Finish strong in everything you do. k) When you’re under pressure and under scrutiny, smile and have fun. You only live once. Life is short… so seize the moment!

[10/09, 9:27 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* FRIDAY, 11TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *RECEIVE THE WORD, ENDURE THE SUFFERINGS* *TEXT:* I THESSALONIANS 2:13-16. 13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.  14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judæa are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:  15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:  16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. *Timeless Truth:*_"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution"_ (2 Timothy 3:12). *INTRODUCTION* The Christian life is not a promise of freedom from trials, but a call to receive God’s Word faithfully and endure suffering courageously. Apostle Paul commended the Thessalonian believers because they accepted the Gospel not merely as human information, but as the very Word of God. Their experience reminds us that genuine faith produces steadfastness even when obedience to Christ attracts opposition. As we receive the Word, we must also be prepared to endure suffering and oppositions for the sake of Christ and the Gospel. *1. Correct Perception of the Word* Your inner perception of the Word of God will determine your attitude towards it and consequently, will determine your altitude in life and ministry. The one who sees the Bible as one of those religious books will end up becoming merely, religious by following the letters of what it says. Those who see it as a book of wisdom will always see wisdom nuggets in it to feed the mind and nothing else. Those who see it as mere writings of deeply, devoted religious people will see it as the ideas of men to inculcate in order to nourish the religious mind. However, all those notions about the Bible will not have any meaningful and lasting effect until the reader and the believer see and accept it as the supernatural Book of God with the Word of God sent to the living man. The Bible does not just contain the Word of God, it is actually, the Word of God. The Thessalonians Christians received special commendations from Paul the apostle for their spiritual sensitivity and piety (1:6-10). They became *"ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia"*. It was in this same Church that was given special revelations about the Rapture, the Second Coming of Christ and the coming reign of the Antichrist. The greater the respect and regard you give to the Word of God, the more God gives you His special revelations. b. The Thessalonian Christians received the message preached to them *“not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God.”* Their spiritual progress began with the right perception of God’s Word. The Bible is not merely human philosophy, religious tradition or the opinion of a preacher; it is God’s authoritative revelation capable of transforming the lives of those who believe it. When the Word is received with faith, humility and obedience, it works effectively within the believer. It produces supernatural results and *"effectually worketh in you that believe"*. A wrong attitude towards the Scripture produces spiritual weakness, but a right attitude produces spiritual conviction, growth and holy living. *Question* Do I receive the Word of God as divine truth that must govern my life or merely as human advice to consider? *2. Christ’s Pattern of Walk* a. The Thessalonian Christians became *"followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus”* as they experienced similar sufferings from their own countrymen. The Church of God will never lack good examples to follow in Christ. In the worst scenario, Christians are to follow the examples of Jesus and walk like He walked on earth. *"For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps"* (1 Peter 2:21). Our mentor determines our manners. The right mentor to follow in the Christendom is the one that closely follows and walks like Christ. Apostle Paul said, *"follow me as I am a follower of Christ"*. We can always observe the life of Jesus in the Scriptures so that no sincere follower can be deceived. b. Like Master, like disciples. If Jesus was hated and persecuted by the world because of the Word of God He stood for, true followers of Jesus and the Word of God will also face persecutions of different shades or form. Christian Persecution is a badge of true discipleship. Their willingness to endure persecution reflected the pattern already established by believers in Judea and, ultimately, by Christ Himself. Following Jesus does not always lead to comfort, popularity or acceptance; sometimes it leads through rejection, misunderstanding, sacrifice and suffering. Yet suffering for righteousness is not evidence that God has abandoned us. Rather, it can demonstrate that we are walking faithfully in the footsteps of Christ and His people. *Question* When following Christ becomes costly, do I remain faithful or withdraw because of opposition and suffering? *3. Christians' Persecution in the World* *"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution"* (2 Timothy 3:12). Paul the apostle described the hostility directed against Christ, the prophets and the apostles, showing that opposition to God’s truth is not a new phenomenon. Those who reject the Gospel may attempt to hinder its proclamation and persecute those who faithfully proclaim it. The Christian must, therefore, distinguish between suffering because of righteousness and suffering caused by personal wrongdoing. The Gospel must continue to be proclaimed despite resistance because the salvation of souls is at stake. Believers should respond to persecution with endurance, prayer, love and unwavering commitment to the truth rather than hatred or revenge. For those who specialize in persecuting the truth and resisting the salvation of others directly or indirectly, *"the wrath (of God) is come upon them to the uttermost"*. *Question* What are the modern ways you face persecutions in your profession or ministry? Are you prepared to endure opposition or suffer loss faithfully when standing for Christ and His Gospel? *Prayer Points* 1.Lord, give me grace to receive Your Word with faith, humility and complete obedience 🙏. 2.Father, help me to follow Christ’s pattern faithfully, even when obedience becomes difficult or costly 🙏. 3.Father, make me steadfast in the Gospel and use my life and testimony to bring others to salvation 🙏. 4.Lord, strengthen every believer facing persecution and give us courage to endure suffering for righteousness 🙏. *HYMN:* Thy Word is a lamp to my feet *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* NUMBERS 5-7.

The California Department of Fair Housing and Employment sued Miller, claiming it was discrimination under the _Civil Rights Act._ A judge ruled in Miller's favour, allowing her to deny the service based on her religious beliefs. This ruling has significant implications for religious freedom and discrimination laws.* *Long before contemporary persecutions of Christians, the early church endured significant hardships as the gospel spread to regions governed by oppressive rulers. In Thessalonica, new believers faced intense persecution, much harsher than what might be encountered today. When Paul preached there, the message resonated with the people as divinely inspired. He encouraged them to seek strength from the churches in Judea, which had been suffering similar trials at the hands of their own countrymen, who had previously persecuted Jesus and the prophets.* *The church is currently facing significant challenges due to increasing persecution for adhering to traditional biblical values and standards. In numerous countries, those who uphold these beliefs are labelled as fundamentalists and haters, while actions deemed sinful according to the Bible are gaining recognition as human rights. This climate of intolerance has led to military chaplains being pressured to conduct homosexual marriages, public school teachers being terminated for refusing to promote diversity, doctors being censored for refusing to perform abortions on demand, and the potential loss of accreditation for Christian institutions that do not support LGBT. Furthermore, there are reports of pastors in many nations being arrested for preaching biblical teachings on homosexuality.* *So, we are headed for increasing persecution if we faithfully hold to what the Bible teaches about these moral issues. The question is, "Will you persevere and hold on to the Bible teachings on all issues, like the Thessalonians? Or will you capitulate and bow to the present godless culture to avoid persecution?"

Morning Prayer for today. MP.i. Morning Prayer I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, ⏤ Ephesians 4:1 Prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance, but laying hold of His willingness. ⏤ Martin Luther O Jesus, You have called us with a holy calling. We desire to be worthy of the honor You have bestowed upon us. You have redeemed us by Your blood. You have taken us into fellowship with Yourself. You are not ashamed to call us brethren. You have made us heirs of God, joint heirs with You. You have given us eternal life! Make us indeed worthy of this exalted honor. Cleanse and purify us, that we may be like You in spirit, disposition, and character. Give us the same desires that are in Your heart, that we may hate what You hate and love what You love. May we be partakers in Your work for the upbuilding of Your cause and the extension of Your kingdom. Give us this day the same mind that was in You. You left Your heavenly glory and became human, that You might be our Redeemer. You lived to serve, giving out Your life in unsparing service, even dying in love for Your people. We desire to have the same spirit. Save us from all selfishness, which would lead us to withhold ourselves from serving others with the best that is in us. Save us from all pride, which would lead us to think of ourselves more highly than we ought to think, and may we always be clothed with humility. Lead us into Your ways of service. Lord Jesus, help us to live this day as You would live if You were here in our place. May we be holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate from sinners. May we be kind in all our family relationships and with those outside. Help us to be diligent in all our business. May we live unspotted from the world. Bless us in all ways in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/68/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* THURSDAY 10TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD. *TOPIC:* SUBMISSION. *TEXT:* EPHESIANS 5:21-22. 21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. Gen 3:16 1Co 14:34 Col 3:18 Tit 2:5 1Pe 3:1 *TOPIC:* SUBMISSION. *THE MESSAGE:* To submit is to yield to someone voluntarily. Husband and wife are urged to submit to one another. Doing so is an indication that they honour and reverence Christ as the Lord of their lives. Just as Jesus submitted His will to the Father, wives are also admonished to submit to their husbands. Christian women are counselled to submit to their husbands, even the unbelieving, to win them over to Christ (1 Pet. 3:1). The husband should not abuse this submission character to enslave his wife. As a wife, understand that your submission to your husband is unto the Lord. So, do it with joy. Are you a stubborn wife, always wanting to have the final say? Please change and submit your rights to your husband. *REFLECTION:* Submission reveals your love for God. *PRAYER:* Lord, help me to practice Christ-like submission. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* PROVERBS 3:34. He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble and oppressed. *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* AMOS 6-7. ED.ii. Evening Prayer I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men; ⏤ 1 Timothy 2:1 Prayer can do anything that God can do. ⏤ R.A. Torrey O Lord, give Your blessing to us this evening. Let Your face shine upon us and be gracious unto us. Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us and give us peace. May our sins be forgiven. May our errors be corrected. May the work of our hands be blessed. May the influence of our lives upon others be sanctified. We can never have this day again to amend anything in it, to recall what is evil, or to add what is lacking. So we leave it with You, asking for Your blessing upon it. We remember the community around us, asking that You would send Your blessing upon all its homes. Remember all the children and keep them in their tender years; carry them in Your bosom, Good Shepherd. Remember all the young people amid the world's temptations and attractions. Keep them, and may they become noble men and women. Remember the sick, the old, the sorrowing, and the poor, and have pity upon the unsaved. We pray for our country. Remember those who rule over us and give them wisdom to rule in Your fear and for You. Bless all our institutions. May Your grace more and more rule in them, making them influences for good in the world. Keep Your protection around those who go upon the seas and those who work amid dangers. We pray for Your church. Bless its ministers, and may they be faithful and earnest. Bless all its members, and may they be true in all their life before men. May their light so shine that all who see them shall be led to believe in the power of Jesus. Hear us, bless us, and keep us through the night. We ask in Jesus' precious name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/67/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion. 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. THE DECEPTION "Not everyone who says to Me 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven." - Matthew 7:21 When you listen to these words our Lord Jesus said and read the entire chapter, you will discover that it is quite difficult to be a sincere Christian. Matthew 7:13 also says: 'Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction.' The Lord Jesus says that the way leading to hell is wide and easy to walk on, but the way to eternal life is narrow. The reason Jesus mentions this is because it is difficult to find that narrow way. There are many fake ways which actually lead you to the broad road. These fake ways look so attractive that it is easy to get deceived. False prophets and deceivers The Lord also says that there are many false prophets, deceivers, who come to you as innocent sheep, but they are wolves in sheep's clothing. Like earlier times, today there are false prophets who do their work successfully and are misleading many - even Christians. The Lord God wants us to pay attention, so we do not fall for this. I advise you not to believe a preacher if his teaching is not according to the Word of God. Such a person is a false prophet and a liar. Paul says in Galatians 1:8: 'But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God's curse.' Many deceivers come in sheep's clothing or like an angel of light. As such they lead people to a road whose end is the death. Dear readers, I advise you to be filled with the Holy Spirit. He is the source of all truth. You will then know the difference between the real thing and what is false. https://www.theblessingdevotional.com

Good morning, brethren. I hope we had a nice night rest? 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🌺🌹🎁🎀💝 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 10, 2O26. "AVOID TRIANGLES" '...Mind your own business; do your own job...’     1 Thessalonians 4:11 TM WE’RE NOT very good at knowing the difference between helpfulness and interference! Suppose two people we care about are in conflict. We think we can be the Red Cross, and salvage things. Ultimately, with our good intentions in ruins, we’re in over our heads. Looking back, we say, ‘I’ll never do that again’—until the next time! Here are some healthy relationship boundaries. Sometimes when two people are at odds with each other they ‘triangle in’ a third person to focus on, attempting to lower their stress. Whoever they triangle in gets caught in the middle, becomes entangled in their unresolved issue, and ultimately becomes their shock absorber. Unfortunately, when that person’s rescue attempt backfires they become part of the problem, keeping the issues and themselves stuck. So what should you do? 1) Unless God puts you in the middle, stay out! The Bible says, ‘…Mind your own business; do your own job...’(1 Thessalonians 4:11 TM) If your name’s not on it, don’t pick it up! Try saying, ‘I care about you both too much to complicate things with unqualified advice. I’ll pray that God gives you the wisdom to do what’s right for each other.’ 2) Maintain a caring relationship with both people. Relationship specialist, Edwin Friedman, says, ‘The way to bring change to the relationship of two others is to maintain a well-defined relationship with each, and avoid taking responsibility for their relationship.’ Don’t take sides. Don’t let them pull you in. If they try, remind them that you’re praying and trusting God to help them resolve the problem, and that you’re confident He will do it.

[09/09, 7:56 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* THURSDAY, 10TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *FROM STUBBORNESS TO PERPETUAL BACKSLIDDING* *TEXT:* 2 KINGS 24:17-20. 17 And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah. 18 Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 19 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. 20 For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. *Timeless Truth:*_"Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return"_ (Jeremiah 8:5). *INTRODUCTION* Rebellion against a particular instruction from God opens the door of exit for a particular measure of the glory of God from the Rebellious person, family, community or nation. Without heart felt repentance, this will continually, lead to further rebellion in some other aspect of the Word of God and the end result will be perpetual backsliding which will be almost impossible to reverse. After about 135 years of the captivity of Northern Israel by Assyria, Judah also was taken into captivity by Nebuchadnezzar because they followed the exact evils that destroyed the Northern Kingdom. They continually, despised and took the Word of God from God's prophets for granted until God could no longer forgive them. Anybody that takes any part of the Word of God for granted will do well by taking a total reverse gear or U-turn before hardness of heart sets in and it becomes perpetual backsliding which will lead to eternal damnation. *1. The Roll Call of Kings* Judah was blessed with good kings. Josiah was the last good king of Judah. He reigned for 31 years and died at 39 (2 Kings 22:1). He was a revivalist who enforced righteousness in his days. Josiah died prematurely as a result of meddling in what did not concern him after repeated warning (2 Chronicles 35:20-25). Obviously, his untimely and avoidable death denied all his four children who reigned after him enduring parental and godly training. None of them had the fear of God and was able to follow his godly steps. If he had lived longer, his sons might have not have suffered the moral failures that followed. Orphans of godly parents need special attention so that they can continue in their godly ways. b. The final four monarchs who ruled the Kingdom of Judah from the death of King Josiah until the Babylonian captivity consisted of Josiah's sons and grandson are: I. King Josiah (640–609 BCE): The righteous reformer king who died in battle against Pharaoh Neco at Megiddo. II. King Jehoahaz (609 BCE): Also called Shallum, Josiah's fourth son who reigned for just three months before being deposed and taken to Egypt, where he died. III. King Jehoiakim (609–598 BCE): Originally named Eliakim, another son of Josiah placed on the throne by Pharaoh Neco; he later became a vassal to Babylon before dying during a revolt. IV. King Jehoiachin (598–597 BCE): Also called Jeconiah or Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim and grandson of Josiah who ruled for three months before being exiled to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar. He was also cursed by God for his evils, Jeremiah 22: 28-30. IV. King Zedekiah (597–586 BCE): Named Mattaniah at birth, Josiah's third son and Jehoiachin's uncle whom Nebuchadnezzar made king; he rebelled against Babylon, leading to the final siege, the destruction of Jerusalem, and the ultimate captivity. The Babylonians slew all his sons in his presence and immediate remove his eyes. He was bound with fetters of brass like an animal and taken to Babylon (2 Kings 25:7). *Question* Read 2 Kings 23:31-24:20 and observe how all of them did that which was evil in the sight of God. *2. The Rebellious and the Condemned Kings* a. The fall of Jerusalem did not happen overnight. There were abundant opportunities for those kings to reflect, repent, return and seek for revival like it happened during the reign of their father, Josiah. They all refused and rejected the opportunity. It occurred in stages. · Nebuchadnezzar initially subjugated the city about 605 BC. · Destruction from Nebuchadnezzar’s marauding bands followed from 601 to 598 BC. · The siege and fall of Jerusalem occurred under Nebuchadnezzar’s main army on 16 March, 597 BC. · Nebuchadnezzar returned to completely destroy and depopulate Jerusalem in the summer of 586 BC. Throughout that period, Jeremiah, the "weeping prophet", kept on warning and prophesying to them and all those warning went into their deaf ears. It was as if the judgment would never happen, at least at their own time. The last four kings had the same records of rebellion. *"And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done"*. b. *"And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the LORD"*. Despising the God-sent is despising the God who sent them. The attitude of one of those four Kings, Zedekiah in particular, was the representative of all the other Kings, *"he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD God of Israel"* (2 Chronicles 36:12,13). *Question* Do you tremble at the Word of God or you just spurn His Word and select which one you will do? *3. The Righteous Condemnation by the King of kings* Zedekiah, like all other Rebellious kings in Judah and outside was judged and condemned. Think of Pharaoh. Think of Herod. Think of Belshazzer (Daniel 5). There is no partiality with God. *"For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah... that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon"*. The repercussion was that God *"cast them out from his presence"*. Preachers and saints can also manifest this trait by restricting themselves to preaching or obeying some parts or doctrine of the Word while the others are being neglected. Selective obedience to some doctrines will produce selective rebellion against some doctrines. The righteous condemnation of the King of kings came upon Judah because of persistent rebellion and disobedience against God, despite His repeated warnings. Zedekiah and the people experienced the consequences of turning away from the Lord, showing that divine patience does not cancel divine judgment. God remains righteous in His judgments and no king, nation or individual can escape the consequences of deliberate rejection of His Word. *Question* Are you humbly obeying the King of kings today or are your actions leading you toward His righteous judgment? *Prayer Points* 1.Give praises to God because of His righteous judgments 🙏. 2.Ask God to scan through your heart through His Word and by the Holy Spirit and expose any seed of rebellion in your heart 🙏. 3.Ask the Lord to search your inner being and purge you of all traces of rebellion 🙏. 4.Pray that none of us will be selective in obedience, but our obedience will be total 🙏. *HYMN:* Have you been to Jesus? *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* NUMBERS 3-5.

King, a Christian architect and woodworker, shared an enthralling story: In 1982, _ABC Evening News_ reported on an unusual work of modern art - a chair affixed to a shotgun. It was to be viewed by sitting in the chair and looking directly into the gun barrel. The gun was loaded and set on a timer to fire at an undetermined moment within the next hundred years. The amazing thing was that people waited in lines to sit and stare into the shell's path! They all knew the gun could go off at point-blank range at any moment, but they were gambling that the fatal blast would not happen during their minute in the chair.* *In our text are the kings of Judah, who also gambled with the destiny of their nation with the confidence that they could get away with sin despite the unmistakable and endless warnings from God through His prophets over the centuries. Moses in the Pentateuch was not frugal with his warnings against backsliding and the consequences in the event of rebellion, idolatry or apostasy. Also, the pre-exilic prophets, especially Jeremiah, did not fail to warn, but neither Manasseh nor Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, nor Zedekiah would budge. The end was disastrous! Jerusalem became a vassal of Babylon. The potentates, princes, people and paupers of Judah were moved out, and the population became stateless. What a woeful price to pay for rebellion and sin!* *Interestingly, despite Judah's recalcitrance, judgement was never God's goal. It is almost always the means to an end. The end is to bring sinners and backsliders to understand the errors of their ways, humble them and make them return to the path of life and righteousness.* *Even today, God longs for the repentance of sinners and backsliders. Tarrying could be fatal. Christ affirmed in His call to the lost: "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20).* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*He suffers doubly who falls into a ditch he saw others fall into.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *NUMBERS 3-4*📜📜 Sin's Awful Consequences https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 205: HAVE YOU COUNTED THE COST?; GHS 246: O BROTHER, LIFE'S JOURNEY BEGINNING; GHS 158: COME BELIEVING; AND GHS 159: WHY DO YOU WAIT?* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna10thSeptember2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [09/09, 7:56 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```THURSDAY 10TH SEPTEMBER, 2026``` *GOD HAS NOT FORGOTTEN YOU* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:ISAIAH 49:13-16```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me...Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me" (ISAIAH 49:14, 16).*_ *Life is full of challenges and unpleasant experiences which tend to negatively influence our feelings towards God. In times of extreme hardship, we feel that God is estranged from us. The experience of disappointments, financial difficulties, failures and set-backs is common to everyone, including youths.* *When youths navigate through such experiences, they feel that no one cares and that God has forgotten them. In our text, Israel claimed that God had forsaken and forgotten them. Is this your experience? There is hope for you in God.* *Replying Israel's claim, God stressed that a woman may forget her suckling child, but He will not forget them, having graven them in the palms of His hands.

He will neither forget nor forsake you. He did not forget Joseph in Egypt, or Jeremiah in the dungeon of Malchiah in the court of the prison (Jeremiah 38:4-13).

One day, Tony gave Hamed, his classmate, a Christian magazine. Hamed collected it and tore the magazine into shreds and threw its shredded pieces at Tony, warning him never to preach to him or give him anything about Jesus anymore! Some days later, during the lunch break period, Tony observed that Hamed remained unusually quiet as he sat at his desk, looking frail and hungry. Having asked him, Tony discovered that Hamed was indeed very hungry and weak because he and his family were going through some hardship. Tony comforted him, shared his lunch with him, and further promised to always share his lunch with him anytime he did not come to school with food. Hamed wondered why Tony was so kind to him despite his bad attitude to Tony. Then Tony used the opportunity to preach about Jesus to him and led him to Jesus through prayer and repentance. Hamed became a true friend of Jesus from that day. *Soul-winning is the primary assignment of all friends of Jesus.

Morning Prayer for today. MP.i. Morning Prayer Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. ⏤ Psalm 119:105 The greatest thing anyone can do for God and man is to pray. ⏤ S.D. Gordon Our Father in Heaven, we, Your earthly children, worship You. We thank You for Your word, which we can read at the opening of the day, taking it as a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. May it be to us indeed a light this day, shining for us and showing us the way of holiness. We always need a divine lamp, for the earth is dark. Sin has made it perilous to travel on these treacherous ways without a lamp. No human friend can guide us infallibly. We cannot guide ourselves. We would never find the way home were it not for the light of truth which You have given, which makes every smallest part of the path through this world clear and plain if we will walk in the light. Let us not try to walk in the light of our own understanding, stumbling and falling. We put our hands in Yours this morning, and we would be led by You all day. We do not know where our paths will take us. It may be that darkness lies before us, or hard and rough ways, or that we must enter some Gethsemane. Lead us, O Jesus, where You will, and give us grace to follow submissively. We seek Your blessing upon all the work of this day. Show us what You would have us do. May we find the tasks You have in Your plan and purpose for us, and then do them faithfully. Let us never resist Your gracious leading. Enable us always to do Your will, as it is done in Heaven. Bless us . . . In our home life, In our friendships, In our social life, In our play and work, In our praying and serving, In our toil and struggle, In our joy and sorrow. We ask all in the name of Jesus our Savior. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/67/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* WEDNESDAY 9TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD. *TOPIC:* SHOWING LOVE. *TEXTS:* EPHESIANS 5:25; COLOSSIANS 3:19. *EPHESIANS 2:25.* 25 Husbands, love your wives as the Messiah loved the church and gave himself for it, Gal 1:4 Eph 5:2 Col 3:19 [1Pe 3:7] *COLOSSIANS 3:19.* 19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them. Eph 5:25 [Eph 4:31] [1Pe 3:7] *TOPIC:* SHOWING LOVE. *THE MESSAGE:* Today, Apostle Paul advises husbands to love their wives. Love makes a man to give preference to the wellbeing of his wife rather than his. The husband must not treat his wife harshly; instead, love and care for her needs and be willing to sacrifice everything for her. Some husbands often shout at their wives, insult them, and shut them down, rarely allowing them to speak or express themselves. This is a harsh treatment that negates love. Husbands ought to extend God's grace to their wives, love them, and build a holy union with them. This will lead to a precious relationship that produces tender and self-sacrificing care within the family. *REFLECTION:* Love builds the family. *PRAYER:* Lord, help me to love my family unconditionally. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* PROVERBS 3:34. He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble and oppressed. *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* AMOS 3-5. ED.ii. GOD WILL SHOW ME THE WAY "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He and that I do nothing on My own but speak just what the Father has taught Me." - John 8:28 This is very beautiful! I pray that God's Spirit will show you how Jesus walked with His Father and how we should also walk with God the Father. Jesus clearly says here that He is led daily by His Father. His daily dedication, His complete dependence on His Father was because He always listened to His Father's voice. Jesus was completely dependent on this voice who told Him what to do. He did nothing without His Father. So often we forget to first consult with our Father and we get into trouble. First, we act and when we get into trouble we talk to our Heavenly Father. We are often too late on our knees to ask: 'Father, how should I do this or that'? God the Father told Jesus exactly what He should do. 'Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself; He can do only what He sees His Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does' (John 5:19). God wants to speak to you How did Jesus learn this? By listening to the voice of God the Father within Him. The same voice that spoke to Jesus also wants to speak to you and me. We have the Holy Spirit in us. God lives in us and His Kingdom is within us. He is a speaking God and wants to speak within us, just as He spoke to Jesus. Luke 6:12 states that Jesus went into the mountains to pray and that He prayed all night to God. It was while praying that God was able to give instructions to Him. Do you know God's voice? Dear brothers and sisters, Christian friends, church members and believers, if we want to hear from God, we will have to do what Jesus did. Do you recognize His voice? To learn to understand His voice, you will have to isolate yourself from others. You have to do something if you really want God to speak to you. 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 Prayer is the mighty engine that is to move the missionary work. ⏤ A.B. Simpson We thank You, our Father, for the privilege of trusting You and abiding in Your love. We thank You that in this great world of peril, You are accessible everywhere, that wherever we are, we can find You—and, finding You, be safe. You are a very present help in times of trouble. You are our refuge and our rock, our high tower, our deliverer, and our shield. We are glad that we are Your redeemed children and that You care for us with infinite tenderness. We rejoice in the privilege of having You as our hearts' home. We are Yours, O God, for You have made and redeemed us. We confess ourselves Yours and would consecrate ourselves to You. We have tried to serve You today and to be faithful to You. Where we have failed, may You forgive us. We bring the broken things of our obedience and service now to Your feet—we have nothing but broken things to bring. Accept them in Jesus' precious name, and use them in Your service. We have many interests that are dear to our hearts, on which we would ask Your blessing at the close of the day. Bless our common tasks. It is not easy. Much of it is wearisome—the same rounds day after day. May the very routine do us good, teaching us to be patient and diligent, prompt and energetic, earnest and faithful. May these tasks all be part of the Father's business, and may we do all of them in the name of Jesus, and thus find joy and delight in them. We pray also for all our spiritual interests, the things that concern our souls. Let nothing harm us. May all things work together for good to us. Receive us now to rest in Your care, we ask in Jesus' precious name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/66/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion. Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* TUESDAY 8TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD. *TOPIC:* KIND ACTIONS. *TEXT:* 1 THESSALONIANS 5:14-15. 14 We urge you, brothers, to admonish those who are idle, cheer up those who are discouraged, and help those who are weak. Be patient with everyone. [Gal 6:2] [Eph 4:2] 15 Make sure that no one pays back evil for evil. Instead, always pursue what is good for each other and for everyone else. Lev 19:18 Pro 20:22 Pro 24:29 Mat 5:39 Rom 12:17 1Co 6:7 1Pe 3:9 [Pro 17:13] *TOPIC:* KIND ACTIONS. *THE MESSAGE:* Family members are urged to eschew laziness and vengeful attitudes. Instead, they should help the weak, encourage the timid, and be patient and kind to one another. These acts of kindness should be emulated by members of the Christian community. They should express their appreciation by giving gifts, helping them through their challenges where necessary, and speaking to them kindly. Ganging up against one another is disrespectful and should not be entertained. Shamefully, a mother and her children ganged up against their father just because he was not supporting their immoral lifestyles. Kindness does not support lawlessness. Lean on God's grace, accept corrections, and be kind to one another. *REFLECTION:* Family members, be kind to one another. *PRAYER:* Lord, help me to show kindness to all. 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:* AMOS 1-2. ED.ii. THE MYSTERY "I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and among the lampstands was someone like a son of man." - Revelation 1:12-13 The apostle John, who was already old, heard a voice and wanted to see who spoke to him. And there on the island of Patmos he met Jesus again. He tried to describe what he saw. He tried to put into words the majesty and glory of God. He saw the throne of God in heaven and saw what was happening in heaven. He tells us about this in the book of Revelation. The apostle had such a wonderful experience when he saw the throne and it was a mystery to him. The mystery of God Dear readers, God is a huge mystery to us. John saw how the 24 elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne. They worshiped Him who lives forever, and John heard the elders say: 'You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and by Your will they were created and have their being' (Revelation 4:11). This tells me that the almighty God created the universe, all the stars and galaxies. A new heaven and a new earth The Bible also says that one day this mighty God will put an end to this corrupted world, and He will make something new. Revelation 21:1-2 says: 'Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.' Something new is coming and this gives me hope; hope for recovery from this corrupted world. God loves you! https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer gir today. EP.i. Evening Prayer Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. ⏤ Psalm 121:4 Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire, unuttered or expressed. ⏤ James Montgomery O Lord, we humbly beseech You to accept this, our evening sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Mercifully grant to us, through the merits of Jesus Christ, Your Son, the remission of our sins, and all the blessings of eternal life. Fill our hearts, we ask You, with Your Spirit. Simply to Your cross we cling, O Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. The night is now before us. We do not know what perils are veiled in the darkness. We know only that we are safe in You, by night as by day, for the darkness and the light are both alike to You. Your eye sees in the night as clearly as at noonday. So, while we sleep, You will watch over us, and we shall be as safe as if it were day. Be our shelter, our keeper, protecting us from all danger. We may not all live through the night. If any of us shall end our life here and go away before the morning, may it be unto You that we shall go. We ask that You will shed abroad Your love in our hearts. May Your will be done here in our home as it is done in Heaven. We ask for special individual blessings. We have different needs. Some of us are strong, and others are weak. As our day is, so may our strength be. Let none of us ever be overwhelmed by this world's evil. We ask for refreshing rest in sleep. May nothing disturb our repose until the morning. Give us in sleep the blessings of Your love. May we be stronger for the night's rest. Fit us for whatever is before us. Watch over us and bring us to the morning light in peace and health. Guide us in safe and good paths, and help us to be useful to many others. We ask it in the blessed name of Jesus. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/65/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🎀💝🎁🌺🌹 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 8, 2O26. "FOUR KINDS OF GIVERS (4)" '...Joseph opened the storehouses [barns] and sold grain to the Egyptians...’ Genesis 41:56 NIV BARN PEOPLE. God used Joseph to feed the nations during a time of worldwide famine. When Pharaoh’s advisers couldn’t interpret his dream, Joseph did. He actually gave Pharaoh a plan that would not only feed Egypt during seven years of famine, but also feed the world and cause Pharaoh to come out of this crisis a richer man. When you serve God, He can give you information about the future. He can give you not only the wisdom to survive, but thrive when you’re in a recession. But you can’t build such a relationship with God overnight! Joseph’s journey to the throne of Egypt led through years of delay, detours and discouragement. He experienced betrayal at the hands of his family, temptation and slander at the hands of his employer’s wife, false imprisonment, years of waiting and wondering when God would fulfil His promise to make him a leader. But he never doubted God. And you must not either! If God can take an ex-con like Joseph and make him the prime minister of Egypt, no obstacle and no enemy can keep Him from fulfilling His promise to you. So, if you’re a bag person, ‘consider your ways’ and start putting God first in your finances. If you’re a bin person, ‘be not afraid,’ give, and God will give back to you. If you’re a basket person, place what you’ve got into God’s hands and watch Him multiply it. If you’re a barn person with a heart that longs to meet the needs of a hurting world, nothing your enemies do will stop you. Bible In A Year: Gen 2:7-25, 1 Cor 15:39-55.

[07/09, 9:16 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* TUESDAY, 8TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *RUMBLE IN THE ROYAL FAMILY* *TEXT:* 1KINGS 1:1-13. Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat. 2 Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat. 3 So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king. 4 And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not. 5 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. 6 And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was a very goodly man; and his mother bare him after Absalom. 7 And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him. 8 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men which belonged to David, were not with Adonijah. 9 And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by Enrogel, and called all his brethren the king's sons, and all the men of Judah the king's servants: 10 But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not. 11 Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not? 12 Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon. 13 Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign? *Timeless Truth:*_"It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness."_ (Proverbs 16:12). *INTRODUCTION* The family institution is ordained by God to be a citadel of care, comfort, character cultivation, character formation, charity and compassion. However, if any of the family members open the door to Satan, a family setting may turn to a place where bitterness, ungodly rivalry, strives and all forms of evils germinate. The origin of such a problem may be traced to parental laxity, lawlessness, lusts and lack of wisdom. The problem may also be due to some members who decide to align with evil habits and character despite all entreaties. The case of David shows how a good family should not be managed. The rumble in the family was a tragedy that affected every member of the family in a most tragic and regrettable manner. Well, it had irreversibly happened. What is expected of us is to learn from those errors and work definitely to avoid them in order to avoid what Jesus said that *"a man's enemies are they of his own household"*. The text is an example of a royal family filled with conflicts, confusion, selfish ambitions and lawlessness. The root cause is avoidable carnality which if all the parties had subdued would not have resulted into this household wickedness among members. *1. Time Segment of Man* a. Man has different inescapable time segments in life. *"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven"* (Ecclesiastes 3:1). Broadly, there is a time of childhood with childish dreams, actions and vanities. There is the pick of human strength and agility which is a time of adulthood and there is the time of old age. It will be a disgrace to still be using a feeding bottle as a youth. *"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things"* (1 Corinthians 13:11). No matter how educated, endowed and exemplary a man is, he must pass through all those stages if he is privileged to live long. It is on this note that people say, *"opportunity once lost can never be regained"*. Every stage of a man's life should be well utilized because once someone crosses to another stage, he cannot go back to do what he missed at the earlier stage effectively. King David bore witness to this fact. b. We could see him at the backside of the desert taking care of the sheep of his father and learning how to sing psalms and play instruments. From there we saw him agile and strong while confronting Goliath. From there he passed through the wilderness of life with many good, bad and the ugly experiences to learn from. He rose to the peak of his popularity, honour and advancement when he became King. The text shows us another David who was now old and physically weak with no ability to fight again. He could not even keep himself warm again. They must now decide for David as to what to do to keep himself warm and who is the best lady to do that. Such is life. This reminds us that every human being has different seasons in life. Strength, influence, wealth and physical ability are not permanent. Make the best use of the moment for what you will not regret of, in the future. The best way to do that is to follow God and His Word closely. *Question* Have you learnt to recognize the changing seasons of life and plan to make the best use of the present? *2. Throne and Source of Madness* a. Would this family have had this problem and confusion if the throne was not involved? The problem was not really the throne, but the parental negligence, carelessness and carnality of the heart to start with. The wilderness experience of David was allowed to take a toll on him to the point that he did not have time for real character formation and parental trainings of the children. He himself lacked discipline with respect to women that he could not give a good example to the children. Wilderness experience and unexpected challenges of life should not be allowed as an excuse in doing the needful because the resultant effect of neglect would be anguish, afflictions and irreversible regrets. b. The children too did not have an excuse. They could decide to learn from the mistakes of their father and decide to live a more responsible life. They ended up destroying themselves. Adonijah did not learn from the fact that it was not David that exalted himself to be king and David was not even the firstborn in the family. He decided to ride on the vehicle of being the firstborn alive to exalt himself and force himself to be king. He refused to learn good lessons from David. The Bible is given to us to learn from. Keep glued to it and be teachable. He said, *“I will be king.”* His ambition was not rooted in divine appointment, but in self-exaltation. Ambition without submission to God can become dangerous madness. Adonijah desired the throne, but ignored the divine purpose concerning Solomon. He gathered people who supported his agenda and resorted to self management. God factor was not in his plan. Many conflicts in families, churches and organizations arise when individuals seek positions rather than divine purpose. A throne obtained through manipulation cannot bring lasting peace. *Question* Is your ambition governed by the will of God or are you pursuing position at all costs? *3. Truth that Saves from Mischief* Nathan, the prophet, decided to be a man of the hour though he had the option of folding his arms out of fear of what Adonijah could do to him. He recognized the danger and acted with wisdom. He approached Bathsheba with the truth and gave her a strategy to preserve both her life and the life of Solomon. Truth, when spoken at the right time and in the right manner, can prevent disaster. Nathan did not ignore the conspiracy. Silence in the face of mischief can allow evil to grow. God often uses faithful people who are courageous enough to speak truth and take wise action. Bathsheba was instructed to inform the king about what was happening before Adonijah's plot became irreversible. In times of confusion, God provides truthful counsel to preserve His purpose. We must, therefore, value godly advisers and be willing to act upon the truth. *Question* Are you willing to speak, receive and act upon the truth that can save you from destruction? *Prayer Points* 1.Lord, help me to understand and prepare wisely for every season of my life 🙏. 2.Father, deliver me from selfish ambition and give me a heart that submits completely to Your will 🙏. 3.Lord, expose every evil conspiracy and mischief designed against Your purpose for my life and family 🙏. 4.Father, raise truthful and godly counsellors around Your children who will help them fulfil Your divine purpose 🙏. *HYMN:* Yield not to Temptation *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* LEVITICUS 25-27.

Some he rules through lust. Some he rules through covetousness. Some he rules through appetite. Some he rules by their temper, but he rules them. And none will ever seek to be delivered until they get their eyes open and see that they have been taken captive."* *From our text, Adonijah, the fourth son of David, after Amnon, Chileab and Absalom, was caught in the web of ungodly ambition. Amnon, the first son, who had an unholy affair with his sister, Tamar, had already been killed, while Absalom, the third son, who staged a coup against his father, was also killed.* *Nothing was known of Chileab, David's second son, born to him by Abigail, widow of Nabal the Carmelite. Adonijah, who wanted to become king instead of Solomon, was the oldest son still alive. Therefore, Adonijah thought he would be the next king, after his father, David, who was very old. He made plans towards achieving his course. He knew his father would soon die, and he got the support of Joab, David's military commander, and Abiathar the priest to make him king. But Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah and David's bodyguards refused to support him. Adonijah still went ahead with his selfish ambition, planning a ceremony where he would declare himself the new king. Nobody can run faster than God. Adonijah's inordinate ambition led to his premature death. Solomon did not even fight for the fulfilment of God's promise that he would succeed his father.* *Whatever God has ordained for you must come to pass, the machinations of enemies notwithstanding. He knows how to thwart the conspiracy of darkness against your job, business, promotion and family. Pray and trust God. Be it further noted that a child of God must never resort to self-management and carnal display in governing his or her affairs. Once in Christ, we are to trust Him with our entire life span, confident that He who saved us knows what is best for us in time and eternity. Your lot, therefore, is to simply trust Him to the uttermost.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*Ungodly ambition is a gilded misery.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *LEVITICUS 25-27*📜📜 Peril Of Inordinate Ambition https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 59: LITTLE IS MUCH WHEN GOD IS IN IT; GHS 6: YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION; GHS 246: O BROTHER, LIFE'S JOURNEY BEGINNING; AND GHS 185: THE THING MY GOD DOTH HATE* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna8thSeptember2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [07/09, 9:16 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```TUESDAY 8TH SEPTEMBER, 2026``` *THE LOST PIECE OF SILVER* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:LUKE 15:8-10```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth" (LUKE 15:10).*_ *Dr. David Yongi Cho of the famous Yoido Full Gospel Church in South Korea, narrated in one of his books, the touching story of a Christian mother who was heartbroken over her wayward daughter.

Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* MONDAY 7TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD. *TOPIC:* BUILDING A GODLY FAMILY. *TEXT:* GENESIS 2:24-25. 24 (Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother and cling to his wife, and they will become one flesh.) Mat 19:5 Mar 10:7 1Co 6:16 Eph 5:28-29 Eph 5:31 25 Even though both the man and his wife were naked, they were not ashamed about it. Gen 3:7 *TOPIC:* BUILDING A GODLY FAMILY. *THE MESSAGE:* The command in our text leaves no space for conditions. God desires that the man should leave his parents and cleave to his wife. This is what builds oneness. To build a godly family, both husband and wife must shift their grounds and pitch their tents on biblical principles. The husband must always be willing to show grace to his wife by accommodating her into his life and helping her to grow. Couples must not listen to or entertain any negative talk about themselves from anyone. They must cherish faithfulness and eschew the sin of adultery, homosexuality, bigamy, polygamy, and so on. They must do well to avoid anything that hinders their bonding and spiritual and moral growth. How is your family life? Evaluate! *REFLECTION:* Appropriate God's grace to build your family. *PRAYER:* Lord, help me to build a godly family. 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:* JOEL 3. ED.ii. 'I WILL GIVE YOU REST' "Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." - Matthew 11:28 What a wonderful promise Jesus has given us here: 'I will give you rest.' As He has promised this, we are allowed to remind Him of His promise: 'Lord, You have promised this and I want to receive it.' Come to Jesus There is one condition to this promise. Jesus says: 'Come to Me. I will give you rest.' So, if you want to have peace and rest in your life, you have to come first to Jesus and then He will do what He said. When your body is tired, you have to take a rest. When Jesus says: 'I will give you rest' this means rest for the soul. The heart of man is always restless and looking for love or affection, peace and tranquility. Some of you are in pain and sorrow because of circumstances in your life. Perhaps due to the loss of a partner. Jesus says: 'Come to Me today, for I will give you peace in that broken heart.' He wants to fill your life with His love. He will always be with you. He will never be unfaithful to you. You can count on Him. He is your best friend. Every person has a conscience and sin causes restlessness in the heart. Fear comes in the heart just as with Adam and Eve. After they had sinned, they wanted to hide from God. You do not feel good when your conscience speaks. The soul is being tormented. The psalmist says: 'For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me' (Psalm 51:3). The sin continued to haunt him. Dear reader, do you also have your sins as a bag of stones on your back? If that is the case, then Jesus says: 'Come to Me. I will give you rest.' https://www.theblessingdevotional.com Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou [art] God. ⏤ Psalm 90:1-2 God does nothing but by prayer, and everything with it. ⏤ John Wesley Heavenly Father, whose favor is life, whose lovingkindness is better than life, we thank You for all the blessings You have shown to us. Through another day, You have led us. Goodness and mercy have followed us all the way. We enter now into the quiet and rest of the evening, and Your banner over us is love. We hide in the shadow of Your wings. We remember before You this evening all the interests of our home. We thank You for all that home means to us of love and shelter. Bless us in our family life, making it more and more like the heavenly life. Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. A thousand years in Your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. We are but creatures of a moment, dying and passing away. We are like the grass which in the morning flourishes and grows up, and in the evening is cut down and withers. We spend our years as a tale that is told. You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your countenance. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/64/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* SUNDAY 6TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD. *TOPIC:* FRUITFULNESS (II). *TEXT:* GENESIS 1:28-29. 28. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” 29. Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. *TOPIC:* FRUITFULNESS (II). THE BMESSAGE: From the time of creation, God has planned that the whole earth should be populated by humanity. He graciously placed man over other creatures. To subdue the earth and have dominion over it means that humans are permitted to make the earth beneficial for themselves. They are to investigate and develop its resources. It does not mean that humans should exploit the earth and its resources to satisfy their greed. God must be glorified in the way we mine and use the resources thereof. God has given us the knowledge to improve on animals and food production. However, do not go beyond God's stipulation. As a child of God, how do you use His given resources? Be warned, do not forget the Lord when you are blessed (cf. Deut. 8:13-18). *REFLECTION:* God's resources are available for you. *PRAYER:* Father, thank You for Your blessings. 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:* JOEL 1-2. ED.ii. LUCK HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING SUCCESSFUL "Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit." - 2 Kings 2:9 There is a saying 'good luck'. This is of course a good wish, but there are Christians who think they are successful because of luck wished to them. The living God, the Creator of heaven and earth, says: 'Luck has nothing to do with My children being healthy or receiving financial blessings. If you are successful, it is because of My anointing and My blessing.' Obedience Dear readers, do you understand this? It is not about being lucky, but it is the obedience to God's Word which makes you successful. By holding on to God's promises you receive His blessings. It is the search for God's righteousness. It is walking in the anointing of the living God that blesses you. You do not need a lucky necklace or bracelet to become successful in the Kingdom of God. Standing on God's promises God has given us great promises in His Word and standing on these promises makes you successful. Even gamblers do not get anything from luck. 'So David, can't I buy a lottery ticket or put some money in a slot machine?' If this is how you want to spend your money, there will be no blessing on it. God's children know where to sow their seed. A farmer knows that you should not sow your precious seed in soil that does not yield, but he sows the seed in good soil where fruits are brought forth. The Johan Maasbach World Mission has for years proven to be good soil that brings forth fruit. When Elijah was about to go to heaven and had to say goodbye to Elisha, he asked Elisha: 'Tell me, what can I do for you?'Elisha's reply was: 'Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit' (2 Kings 2:9). If you want to be successful in the Kingdom of God, then this will only happen due to God's anointing on your life. https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. ⏤ Romans 5:8 The prayer of faith is a sincere, sensible, affectionate pouring out of the heart or soul to God. ⏤ John Bunyan O God of love, we offer You our heartfelt thanks for all Your mercies, but especially for Your unspeakable gift, Jesus Christ, Your Son, in whom all gifts and blessings are included. We thank You that You loved us in our sin, not waiting for us to come to You with our love to win Your love, but that You demonstrated Your love to us in that while we were yet sinners, Jesus died for us. We humbly adore this wonderful love, without which we would have perished forever in our sins. O may our hearts respond to Your love. Our love is so small in comparison with Yours—so unworthy, so fickle, and uncertain, that we are ashamed to offer it to You. Have mercy upon us, O God, and grant us more of Your grace and of Your Holy Spirit, that our love may be deepened and strengthened. May this Sunday be blessed to us. Fix in our hearts all the good things we have heard and learned. Sanctify to us all our worship, the instruction we have received, and the holy impressions made upon us. Accept what we have tried to do to help and bless others. Bless us again as a family as we bow at Your feet. Give us many rich blessings out of Your grace. Bless our time together today. May our home friendships grow deeper and more tender. Teach us how to love each other better. Preserve us from those miserable little faults that mar the life of love in so many homes—criticism, impatience, discourtesy, thoughtlessness, lack of gentleness. May love abound in each heart, so that our home life may be sweet and full of blessing. We come beneath the shadow of Your wings as we go to our rest. Keep us, enrich us with all goodness and mercy, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/63/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🌺🌹🎁🎀💝 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 6, 2O26. "FOUR KINDS OF GIVERS (2)" '…“the bin…shall not be used up...”’ 1 Kings 17:14 NKJV BIN PEOPLE. In the middle of a devastating famine, God sent the prophet Elijah to Zarephath, saying he’d meet a widow there who would feed him. Why did God not send Elijah to a wealthy family? Because they didn’t need a miracle, she did! When Elijah asked this woman for something to eat she told him that she’d ‘…only a handful of flour in a bin…’ (1 Kings 17:12 NKJV). She had just enough for one more meal, then she and her son would die. Perhaps you’re thinking, ‘Typical preacher! They’ll take the last bite out of your mouth and the last penny out of your pocket.’ No, this was the best day of her life! She was about to step into miracle territory. But first she had to overcome the fear of giving. ‘Elijah said to her, “Do not fear…make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me…” For thus says the Lord God of Israel: “The bin of flour shall not be used up…until the day the Lord sends rain on the earth’’’ (1 Kings 17:13-14 NKJV). How does this story turn out? ‘So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah; and…The bin of flour was not used up…’ (1 Kings 17:15-16 NKJV). Day after day, without fail, she reached into the bin and found more flour. She discovered that when you obey God’s Word, He will meet your every need. Are you a bin person? Are you afraid of letting go of what you have in case you don’t have enough? Don’t be. You will never out-give God! Whatever you give to Him, He has promised to give back ‘…good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over…’ (Luke 6:38 NKJV). Bible In A Year: Ezek 37:1-40:9; Matt 24:1-14; Ps 78:9-16; Prov 20:11-14.

[05/09, 8:47 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* SUNDAY, 6TH SEPTEMBER, 2026 *DELIVERED FROM BONDAGE TO GROWING INTO SPIRITUAL MATURITY* *TEXT:* GALATIANS 4:19–26 19. My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, 20. I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you. 21. Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? 22. For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. 23. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. 24. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. 25. For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. 26. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. *Timeless Truth:* _But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord._( 2 Corinthians 3:18) *INTRODUCTION* In 1952, Florence Chadwick, a renowned long-distance swimmer, attempted to swim from the island of Catalina to the coast of California. She had already accomplished difficult long-distance swims, but on this particular attempt, thick fog surrounded her. After swimming for many hours, she became discouraged and eventually, stopped. When she reached the shore, she discovered that she had stopped only about a mile from her destination. Later, she said that if she had been able to see the shore, she probably would have continued. Her experience illustrates an important spiritual truth: what we see influences how we persevere. When believers lose sight of God's purpose, they can become discouraged and return to spiritual patterns from which Christ has already delivered them. Paul the apostle was deeply concerned about the Galatian Christians. They had begun well in Christ, but false teachers were persuading them to return to reliance on the law. Apostle Paul therefore, expressed the heart of a spiritual parent: Apostle Paul's concern was not merely that the Galatians should know more religious rules. His desire was that Christ Himself would be formed in their character and conduct. The passage therefore, challenges us to examine our spiritual growth, our response to God's grace and the freedom we have received through Christ. May Christ be formed in our thoughts, our speech, our families, our workplaces, our ministries, our relationships and our private lives. And as He is formed in us, may others see Christ through us. *1. The Pains of Spiritual Formation* a. Apostle Paul describes his concern for the Galatians in the language of childbirth. He was willing to labour again because their spiritual development was incomplete. His correction came from love. True spiritual leadership does not merely seek to increase numbers; it seeks to produce mature disciples. Christian leaders, parents, teachers and mature believers should care deeply about the spiritual growth of those God has entrusted to them. b. Paul identifies his ultimate goal: *_“Until Christ is formed in you.”_* Christian maturity is more than knowing biblical facts. It involves becoming increasingly like Jesus.We should regularly ask whether our attitudes, words, relationships and decisions increasingly resemble Christ. Paul the apostle was perplexed because the Galatians had begun to drift from the gospel. This explains the pains of spiritual Immaturity. Remaining spiritually immature makes believers vulnerable to false teaching, confusion and compromise. *Questions* (i). Is Christ increasingly visible in my character, attitudes and relationships? (ii) Am I growing spiritually or have I remained at the same level of Christian maturity for years? *2. The Perils of Spiritual Bondage* Apostle Paul uses the story of Abraham's two sons to illustrate the difference between bondage under the law and freedom through God's promise. The Galatians were in danger of returning to a system of trying to establish righteousness through human performance. Religious activity cannot replace genuine faith in Christ. We must never make human performance the basis of our acceptance before God. b. Ishmael was born through Abraham's human arrangement with Sarah, while Isaac was born according to God's promise. There is a difference between doing something for God through human strength and allowing God to accomplish His purpose through faith and dependence upon Him. The Galatians were being tempted to add law-keeping to the gospel as a requirement for righteousness. Good works are important as the fruit of salvation, but they are not the foundation of salvation. We obey God because we have been saved, not in order to make ourselves worthy of salvation. *Questions* (i). Am I trusting Christ's finished work, or am I trying to earn God's acceptance through my religious performance? (ii). Are there religious traditions or human expectations that have become more important to me than the grace of God? *3. The Promise of Spiritual Freedom* a.Apostle Paul contrasts earthly Jerusalem, associated with bondage, with the Jerusalem above, which represents freedom. Paul the apostle presents two contrasting spiritual realities: bondage and freedom. The gospel does not merely forgive us; it brings us into a new relationship with God through Christ. b. Those who belong to Christ are children of promise. Our identity should be based on our relationship with Christ rather than our past, failures, social position, or human achievements. Christian freedom does not mean freedom to live however, we please. It means freedom to serve God and pursue righteousness. We should use our freedom to love God, serve others, resist sin, and live according to the Spirit. *Questions* (i) Am I living like someone who has been liberated by Christ or am I still allowing guilt, fear and sin to control me? (ii). How am I using my Christian freedom to serve God and bless others? *Prayer Points* 1. Lord Jesus, cause Your character to be formed in me. Help me to grow into spiritual maturity and become increasingly like You.🙏 2. Father, deliver me from every form of spiritual bondage, self-righteousness, fear and dependence on human works. Help me to rest completely in Christ's finished work.🙏 3. Lord, help me to understand my identity as Your child and to live confidently in the freedom and grace You have given me through Christ.🙏 4. Holy Spirit, produce Your fruit in my life so that my conduct, words, relationships and decisions will reflect Christ to everyone around me.🙏 *Hymn:* Amazing Grace *THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* LEVITICUS 18-20 [05/09, 8:47 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DAILY Ⓜ️ANNA - (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR ADULTS) SUNDAY 6TH SEPTEMBER, 2026``` *THE MAIN POINT* 📓📖🎚️🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:GALATIANS 4:19-26```📜📜 🔑📖```KEY VERSE:``` _*"My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you" (GALATIANS 4:19).*_ *Newscasters on the radio and television open their presentation by declaring what they call the main points of the news. When they are through and are about to leave the studio, the broadcaster refers us to a recap of the highlights. It is the traditional style that helps listeners and viewers retain the main gist of the news. However, it is not often easy for the newsroom staff to sift through the stories to select items that qualify for the most prominent mention.* *Today's writers would have much more difficulty telling the world the main points of the epistle to the Galatians, because every inspired line yearns for attention. But one thing cannot be overlooked: Apostle Paul's determination not to rest until "Christ be formed" in the Galatians. The Apostle had taught them that, having embraced salvation through faith in Christ, they were no longer to be controlled by the doctrines of Judaism that gave no hope for Gentiles like the Galatians. So, Paul was troubled to learn that his converts were falling for false teachings that did not proclaim Christ's finished work as the solution to the problem of sin. He said he would not give up on them; he would go through again with his parental care and tenderness for them till they were completely weaned.* *That is the mind of Christ that all evangelists should cultivate. The Lord crisscrossed land and sea, teaching the people the new way of freedom from the bondage of sin. He nursed all, beginning with His disciples, with divine love which He wants His followers to show to the unbelieving world. They may be slow to understand our message; they may even seem to be relapsing into old habits. We may find them with toxic literature, spurring them to ask strange questions. The Lord expects us to exercise patience and prayerfulness while trusting God to touch them.* *We cannot win the unsaved completely for Christ by strong-arm tactics. We cannot restore those who have backslidden by being impatient with them. Since it is a spiritual warfare, we must fortify ourselves with the strength of the Lord, who has sent us into the battlefield. We need to remember: no one goes to war at their own expense.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*God doubly blesses those who not only take care of their souls but also care for others'.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *LEVITICUS 18-20*📜📜 The Main Point https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 111: RESCUE THE PERISHING; GHS 114: BRIGHTEN THE CORNER WHERE YOU ARE; AND GHS 119: DO SOMETHING FOR OTHERS* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna6thSeptember2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [05/09, 8:47 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```SUNDAY 6TH SEPTEMBER, 2026``` *ARE YOU EVER TEMPTED? - 2* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️⚠️‼️🛑👀🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:MATTHEW 4:5-7```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God" (MATTHEW 4:7).*_ *Our text focuses on Satan's second temptation to make Christ sin against God.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀💝🌺🎁🌹🎀 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 5, 2O26. "FOUR KINDS OF GIVERS (1)" ‘…he…earns wages to put into a bag with holes.’ Haggai 1:6 NKJV THERE ARE four kinds of givers noted in the Bible. For the next few days let’s look at each. Bag people. In the days of Haggai the prophet, the Israelites were so busy making money that they had no time for God. Sound familiar? So he said to them: ‘‘‘Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your panelled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins?”…“Consider your ways! You have sown much, and bring in little…and he who earns wages, earns wages to put into a bag with holes”…“You looked for much, but indeed it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says the Lord of Hosts. “Because of My house that is in ruins, while every one of you runs to his own house’’’ (Haggai 1:4-9 NKJV). If you want God to be interested in your house, be interested in His house. If you want God to bless your house, begin to bless His house. If you want God to provide for your house, start providing for His house. You say, ‘How much should I give?’ God sets the baseline at one-tenth of your income (Leviticus 27:32). Whatever you give beyond that will be determined by three things: a) Your ability. ‘Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you’ (Deuteronomy 16:17 NKJV). b) Your desire to reap. God will ‘…multiply the seed that you have sown…’ (2 Corinthians 9:10 NKJV). c) Your love. ‘…“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind”’ (Matthew 22:37 NKJV).

The lukewarm Church of the last days will be steadfastly and successfully remove the landmark teachings and separation between the world and the Church. The consequent result is that the real presence of God will continually depart from the Church until what remains in the Church will just be a form of religion, entertainment and celebrations of her backslidings. A painstaking study of the Word, especially, the symbolic revelations or types, in the Old Testament, will give the needed conviction on what the perfect will of God is as clearly stated in the New Testament. Heavenly minded ministers and saints should stand on the watch against compromises and backslidings of the latter days. Only few will make it according to the Scriptures. *"Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able"*. Why will they not be able? Because they will be unwilling to pay the full price. *1. Relationships with Unclean Animals* a. The chapter deals with unclean and clean water animals, flying birds and insects and then land animals. Why is God dictating to man what human relationships should be with these inferior creatures? A wrong relationship or carelessness towards these creatures can result in avoidable destructive sicknesses and diseases. It can also lead to untimely deaths, avoidable fatal injuries, misuse and abuse of those animals by man. Since there were little or no scientific discoveries at that time, the only Person that can authoritatively give us reliable and valuable information and caution is God, the Creator Himself. The text deals with land animals and the right attitude or relationship with them. They were classified into clean and unclean animals. The first emphasis here is on creeping and unclean animals. b. Salient points would be outlined. I. Not all creeping animals were classified as unclean. Those that were unclean are listed in text. *"These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping"* (verses 29,30). II. Since those classified as unclean were good creatures of God, anybody could touch them, but it was wrong to touch their dead bodies. *"Whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even"*. Anything their dead bodies touched, including vessels, whether deliberately or accidentally, also became unclean till the even after washing with water. However, the breakable must be broken (verses 32, 33). For emphasis, those vessels touched by the dead bodies of the unclean animals also became defiled until cleansed with water. III. If the dead bodies touched any edibles or the utensils they used to prepare the edibles, all of them, including the edible, remain unclean until washed (verses 34,35,36). IV. Touching or eating a dead animal were the same offence that would make the culprit to be unclean until he was cleansed by water in the evening (verses 39, 40). It must be observed that if those laws were observed, it would reduce bacteria and virus outbreaks and infections which at times might be deadly. V. And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten. VI. They could touch any of the creeping animals as long as they were not dead. However, eating any of the creeping animals was an abomination, either clean or unclean (verses 42,43) and made the eaters abominable before God. *Question* What are the spiritual lessons you can learn from the above? *2. Relationships with the Ungodly and Abominable* a. The Scripture says all these were written for those of us in the New Testament as types, figures, shadows or ensamples. *"Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come."* (1 Corinthians 10:11). The passage, in effect, actually, is an instruction on man's relationship with each other especially as it relates to the saints. This can be supported further. 2 Corinthians 6:17 says *"Touch not the unclean thing"*, referring to our text. It was given as a condition for being acceptable by God. *"And I will receive you"*. A look at the context in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18) shows that the command *"touch not the unclean thing"* is actually, speaking about our relationship with unbelievers who are actually, dead in sin and trespasses. So the dead animals stand for sinners and unbelievers, in the New Testament, who are dead in sins and trespasses (Ephesians 2:1). b. It is in order, then, to apply each of the points in our text. I. All sinners are abomination to God and our relationships with them should be at the superficial level so as to get them saved and not so deep to the point of deep and influencing closeness in businesses, marriage, worship and other areas. That will be an "unequal yoke". II. You can touch an unclean animal except when it is dead. You can relate with sinners, but not to the point of doing their deadly evils and sins. Don't allow the sinners (dead bodies) to contaminate your life. If you do, you become unclean. *"Keep thyself pure"*. III. Believers are God's vessels. Once they pollute their lives, secretly or openly, with dead bodies (sinners), they become unfit for the service of God regardless of the anointing on them. *"If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work"* (2 Timothy 2:21). IV. What about contaminated and unclean food? Any spiritual meal given by any man of God or anybody is not pleasing to God if it is contaminated with carnality, false doctrines etc. If you don't separate from those teachings and you swallow it, or you deceive yourself to believe you can make the right selections, you also become unclean before God. God is only pleased with the unadulterated and pure doctrine of His word. You don't manage with any, you separate. V. In sum, the Biblical teaching of separation is still valid today with its root from the Old Testament. Anybody who ignores or compromises any of those teachings does so at his own peril. *Question* What are the other implications on Christian separation as it affects ministers and saints? *3. Righteousness Undefiled with Activities* The teachings are all about holy living in Christian relationships with God, fellow saints and sinners.*"For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy"*. Holiness in relationship, in conduct and thought are clearly emphasized in the Bible. The teachings on Biblical separation must not be allowed to fizzle out in the last days so that entering heaven would be a reality. *"Neither shall ye defile yourselves"*. The Israelites were saved through the blood of the lamb at the passover. However, God's requirement went beyond salvation. *"For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy"*. Increasing and deeper holiness is required by God from all His children. This holiness will make a clear difference and separation from the ungodly. *"To make a difference between the unclean and the clean"*. *Question* Are you a separated christian or compromising and worldly believer? *Prayer Points* 1.Give praises to God for the revelation of His will and ask that He will open your eyes to areas you are found wanting 🙏. 2.Ask God to search your heart and life and purify your heart and relationships so that you will not experience His anger 🙏. 3.Lord, Keep your church from the latter day compromises with the world 🙏. 4.Father, help Your children to take Your Word seriously and separate from the world 🙏. *HYMN:* There is power in the blood *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* LEVITICUS 15-17. [04/09, 8:32 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DAILY Ⓜ️ANNA - (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR ADULTS) SATURDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER, 2026``` *BLESSING OF BOUNDARIES* 📓📖🎚️🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️⚠️‼️🛑🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:LEVITICUS 11:29-47```📜📜 🔑📖```KEY VERSE:``` _*"To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten" (LEVITICUS 11:47).*_ *God's words to Adam in Eden at the beginning of creation provided freedom and liberty. Man's diet, however, did have a restriction, a boundary: the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was off limits. Whatever this tree was, it was, quite literally, forbidden fruit. The book of Leviticus serves as God's worship manual, guiding His people to maintain His presence. It also outlines boundaries, prohibiting the Israelites from eating or touching certain species of birds, animals, and fishes. Those who come into contact with forbidden things undergo rigorous washing and ceremonial cleansing before being re-admitted into God's presence. The book serves as a codified directory for ceremonial cleanliness and adherence to God's rules for a closer relationship with Him.* *The prohibition of certain animal species raises questions about the criteria for such distinctions, as the reasoning behind why some animals are deemed permissible to eat while others are not remains unclear. Various explanations have been proposed, including the notion of Israel maintaining its unique identity and the necessity for hygiene. The hygienic argument suggests that unclean animals were considered carriers of diseases, making them unsuitable for consumption, particularly in an era lacking refrigeration, which could result in serious foodborne illnesses. However, this view is complicated by later biblical assertions, such as those made by Jesus, which indicate that all meats may be considered clean. Additionally, these dietary laws might serve an ecological purpose by helping to protect certain species from extinction by reducing the likelihood of their needless slaughter.* *The failure of man to adhere to the boundary established by God led to sin and resulted in a state of uncleanness, causing expulsion from Paradise and a broken relationship with God. This transgression initiated a legacy of physical and spiritual health issues. While believers today may partake of various foods, it remains essential to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit and adhere to available health advice, ensuring compliance with God's commands and maintaining the boundaries divinely appointed for their well-being.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*Without boundaries, man will stray into forbidden and harmful territory.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *LEVITICUS 15-17*📜📜 Blessing Of Boundaries https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 47: JUST OBEY; GHS 246: O BROTHER, LIFE'S JOURNEY BEGINNING; AND GHS 6: YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna5thSeptember2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [04/09, 8:32 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```SATURDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER, 2026``` *ARE YOU EVER TEMPTED? - 1* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️⚠️‼️🛑👀🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:MATTHEW 4:1-4```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread" (MATTHEW 4:3).*_ *Temptation is an enticement to do evil.

As a Christian youth, are you ever tempted? Temptation is not a sin, but yielding to it is. In the next few days, we shall be considering areas of Christ's temptation by Satan, namely: appetite, ambition, and avarice.* *In our text today, Satan tempted Christ on appetite, having fasted, and obviously hungry. Relying on Christ's immediate need for food, Satan asked Him to turn stones into bread to satisfy His hunger.* *Friend, watch it! Satan will tempt you when and where you are most vulnerable.

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 Prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan. ⏤ John Bunyan Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from Your ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against Your holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not to have done, and there is no soundness in us. O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare those, O God, who confess their faults. Restore those who are penitent, according to Your promises declared in Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, O merciful Father, for Your sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of Your holy name. We bless Your name, O God, our Father, that we can come to You with our confessions, assured that You will, for the sake of Jesus Christ, forgive us all our manifold transgressions. May we today have Your divine peace in our souls. May the love of Jesus also be in us, warming our hearts and making us more like You. Help us in all our work and duties. Let us not falter. Preserve us from laziness and carelessness. Make us diligent in our responsibilities. Strengthen us for all burden-bearing and cross-bearing, for all struggle and conflict. Let us not faint nor fail. Enable us to do every task in a way that pleases You. We ask also for wisdom that we may not make mistakes. Bless our influence on others; may it always be good and helpful. Give us the true spirit of neighborliness. May the mind that was in Christ Jesus be in us, making us humble and helpful. Grant these mercies and favors in the name of Jesus Christ.

If the dead bodies touched any edibles or the utensils they used to prepare the edibles, all of them, including the edible, remain unclean until washed (verses 34,35,36). IV. Touching or eating a dead animal were the same offence that would make the culprit to be unclean until he was cleansed by water in the evening (verses 39, 40). It must be observed that if those laws were observed, it would reduce bacteria and virus outbreaks and infections which at times might be deadly. V. And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten. VI. They could touch any of the creeping animals as long as they were not dead. However, eating any of the creeping animals was an abomination, either clean or unclean (verses 42,43) and made the eaters abominable before God. *Question* What are the spiritual lessons you can learn from the above? *2. Relationships with the Ungodly and Abominable* a. The Scripture says all these were written for those of us in the New Testament as types, figures, shadows or ensamples. *"Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come."* (1 Corinthians 10:11). The passage, in effect, actually, is an instruction on man's relationship with each other especially as it relates to the saints. This can be supported further. 2 Corinthians 6:17 says *"Touch not the unclean thing"*, referring to our text. It was given as a condition for being acceptable by God. *"And I will receive you"*. A look at the context in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18) shows that the command *"touch not the unclean thing"* is actually, speaking about our relationship with unbelievers who are actually, dead in sin and trespasses. So the dead animals stand for sinners and unbelievers, in the New Testament, who are dead in sins and trespasses (Ephesians 2:1). b. It is in order, then, to apply each of the points in our text. I. All sinners are abomination to God and our relationships with them should be at the superficial level so as to get them saved and not so deep to the point of deep and influencing closeness in businesses, marriage, worship and other areas. That will be an "unequal yoke". II. You can touch an unclean animal except when it is dead. You can relate with sinners, but not to the point of doing their deadly evils and sins. Don't allow the sinners (dead bodies) to contaminate your life. If you do, you become unclean. *"Keep thyself pure"*. III. Believers are God's vessels. Once they pollute their lives, secretly or openly, with dead bodies (sinners), they become unfit for the service of God regardless of the anointing on them. *"If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work"* (2 Timothy 2:21). IV. What about contaminated and unclean food? Any spiritual meal given by any man of God or anybody is not pleasing to God if it is contaminated with carnality, false doctrines etc. If you don't separate from those teachings and you swallow it, or you deceive yourself to believe you can make the right selections, you also become unclean before God. God is only pleased with the unadulterated and pure doctrine of His word. You don't manage with any, you separate. V. In sum, the Biblical teaching of separation is still valid today with its root from the Old Testament. Anybody who ignores or compromises any of those teachings does so at his own peril. *Question* What are the other implications on Christian separation as it affects ministers and saints? *3. Righteousness Undefiled with Activities* The teachings are all about holy living in Christian relationships with God, fellow saints and sinners.*"For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy"*. Holiness in relationship, in conduct and thought are clearly emphasized in the Bible. The teachings on Biblical separation must not be allowed to fizzle out in the last days so that entering heaven would be a reality. *"Neither shall ye defile yourselves"*. The Israelites were saved through the blood of the lamb at the passover. However, God's requirement went beyond salvation. *"For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy"*. Increasing and deeper holiness is required by God from all His children. This holiness will make a clear difference and separation from the ungodly. *"To make a difference between the unclean and the clean"*. *Question* Are you a separated christian or compromising and worldly believer? *Prayer Points* 1.Give praises to God for the revelation of His will and ask that He will open your eyes to areas you are found wanting 🙏. 2.Ask God to search your heart and life and purify your heart and relationships so that you will not experience His anger 🙏. 3.Lord, Keep your church from the latter day compromises with the world 🙏. 4.Father, help Your children to take Your Word seriously and separate from the world 🙏. *HYMN:* There is power in the blood *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* LEVITICUS 15-17.

Man's diet, however, did have a restriction, a boundary: the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was off limits. Whatever this tree was, it was, quite literally, forbidden fruit. The book of Leviticus serves as God's worship manual, guiding His people to maintain His presence. It also outlines boundaries, prohibiting the Israelites from eating or touching certain species of birds, animals, and fishes. Those who come into contact with forbidden things undergo rigorous washing and ceremonial cleansing before being re-admitted into God's presence. The book serves as a codified directory for ceremonial cleanliness and adherence to God's rules for a closer relationship with Him.* *The prohibition of certain animal species raises questions about the criteria for such distinctions, as the reasoning behind why some animals are deemed permissible to eat while others are not remains unclear. Various explanations have been proposed, including the notion of Israel maintaining its unique identity and the necessity for hygiene. The hygienic argument suggests that unclean animals were considered carriers of diseases, making them unsuitable for consumption, particularly in an era lacking refrigeration, which could result in serious foodborne illnesses. However, this view is complicated by later biblical assertions, such as those made by Jesus, which indicate that all meats may be considered clean. Additionally, these dietary laws might serve an ecological purpose by helping to protect certain species from extinction by reducing the likelihood of their needless slaughter.* *The failure of man to adhere to the boundary established by God led to sin and resulted in a state of uncleanness, causing expulsion from Paradise and a broken relationship with God. This transgression initiated a legacy of physical and spiritual health issues. While believers today may partake of various foods, it remains essential to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit and adhere to available health advice, ensuring compliance with God's commands and maintaining the boundaries divinely appointed for their well-being.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*Without boundaries, man will stray into forbidden and harmful territory.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *LEVITICUS 15-17*📜📜 Blessing Of Boundaries https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 47: JUST OBEY; GHS 246: O BROTHER, LIFE'S JOURNEY BEGINNING; AND GHS 6: YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna5thSeptember2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [04/09, 8:32 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```SATURDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER, 2026``` *ARE YOU EVER TEMPTED? - 1* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️⚠️‼️🛑👀🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:MATTHEW 4:1-4```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread" (MATTHEW 4:3).*_ *Temptation is an enticement to do evil.

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 Prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan. ⏤ John Bunyan Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from Your ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against Your holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not to have done, and there is no soundness in us. O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare those, O God, who confess their faults. Restore those who are penitent, according to Your promises declared in Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, O merciful Father, for Your sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of Your holy name. We bless Your name, O God, our Father, that we can come to You with our confessions, assured that You will, for the sake of Jesus Christ, forgive us all our manifold transgressions. May we today have Your divine peace in our souls. May the love of Jesus also be in us, warming our hearts and making us more like You. Help us in all our work and duties. Let us not falter. Preserve us from laziness and carelessness. Make us diligent in our responsibilities. Strengthen us for all burden-bearing and cross-bearing, for all struggle and conflict. Let us not faint nor fail. Enable us to do every task in a way that pleases You. We ask also for wisdom that we may not make mistakes. Bless our influence on others; may it always be good and helpful. Give us the true spirit of neighborliness. May the mind that was in Christ Jesus be in us, making us humble and helpful. Grant these mercies and favors in the name of Jesus Christ.

Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* FRIDAY 4TH SEPTEMBER, 2026 *SUB-THEME:* THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD. *TOPIC:* CHILDREN: GIFT FROM GOD. *TEXT:* PSALM 127:3-5. 3 Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward. 4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s youth. 5 Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. He will not be put to shame when he confronts the enemies at the gate. *TOPIC:* CHILDREN: GIFT FROM GOD. *THE MESSAGE:* Children are gifts from God. Our text describes them as heritage and a reward from the Lord. Couples should thank and praise God for all children, regardless of whether they are desired gender or not. God is all-knowing, and His Gifts are good. It is painful to see some parents acting inhumanly to the children God gave them. Neglecting and maltreating them does not please God. Know that you will be accountable to God for how you treat your children. Parents should not give up on a child who misbehaves, but treat them with love that combines reproof and restoration. Parents should not abdicate their responsibilities to others or abandon them to the streets. Parents, how do you treat your children? Check and amend where necessary. *REFLECTION:* Cherish God's gift of children in your home. *PRAYER:* Thank You, Lord, for the gift of children. 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:* HOSEA 9-11. ED.ii. A CONSTRUCTIVE MEDICINE "I will never leave you nor forsake you." - Joshua 1:5 Today I have a medicine for God's servants and all God's children. This medicine is a constructive one. I would like to bring this forward, because many are tired while others do not know how to move on. There are even Christians who think God has abandoned them. However, today I would like to give you this constructive prescription. In Joshua 1:5 we read: 'No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.' Joshua was a man of great faith and it was this faith which brought him and Caleb in the promised land. The time for a new task for Joshua has come. His task is to lead the people of Israel across the Jordan and to bring them into the promised land, the land of milk and honey. When Joshua is about to face this, the Lord God comes and speaks these words to Joshua: 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.' God does not leave you There had been major problems during Moses' time and there were also major problems in the days of Joshua. Today too there are major problems. However, new problems bring new protection, because God is the same. He protected Moses, He protected Joshua and He also protects you, me and all His children. Even in difficult times we can thank God, because He is with us and He will not abandon us. Expect new things Danger and disappointment only bring us Divine opportunities to open new doors. Now is the time for God to open these new doors. I expect God to do new things, to raise new leaders and to fill new youth with the Holy Spirit. We do not only need young people, but also 'old-timers' in order to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ together. Joshua had to fight against the enemy. What is impossible with man is possible with God. https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i Evening Prayer Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double minded. ⏤ James 4:8 God shapes the world by prayer. ⏤ E.M. Bounds O God, our Father, we hunger for more life. We have gone through this day longing for life, yet how little life we have had! Our souls have felt empty of You. Our hearts have been crying out for more and more life. Reveal Yourself to us. Bring us into closer and closer personal friendship with Jesus. This is what we crave—friendship with Jesus. It is not enough for us to know Jesus as our Savior and our Lord; we long to come into deeper and closer personal friendship with Him. Show us how to have more of Jesus in us. Whatever hinders us from welcoming Him into our hearts, help us to find it and cast it out, so that Jesus may receive a glad welcome into our deepest affection. May we be blessed by the experiences of today. May they all work for our good. Some things have not gone according to our plans. We hoped for things we did not receive. Help us to know that Your way is better than ours, and help us to cheerfully give up our way for Yours. If we are not fully submissive, forgive us, and teach us how good it is to accept our Father’s way. We pray for Your church. It is in many fragments; we pray that soon Your people may be one. Bring Christians nearer together in love, faith, and life. While there is separation, may You overrule all divisions for good. May hearts be drawn together, and thus may Your people become one in spirit and effort. Save Your true disciples everywhere from sectarianism and from all that fosters differences. May Your Holy Spirit be given in such measure that all denominational lines may melt away. Hear us in our prayer tonight, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/61/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🎀💝🎁🌺🌹MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 4, 2O26. "ARGUING; IT'S A WASTE OF TIME" 'A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.’ Proverbs 15:1 NAS DO YOU sometimes find yourself saying, ‘I get so angry when they refuse to listen to my viewpoint. How can I make them listen and hear what I’m trying to say?’ Unless you’re involved in an official debate, arguing with someone who’s unwilling to listen is useless and a waste of time. State your viewpoint with clarity and purpose, but don’t become defensive and argumentative if it’s not received. You’ll only hurt yourself and the relationship if you become argumentative. Don’t allow anyone to draw you into strife or arguing. Hold your tongue, and try to remember these words of wisdom: ‘A gentle anger turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise makes knowledge acceptable, but the mouth of a fool spurts folly’ (Proverbs 15:2 NAS). What must surely be one of the most frustrating conversations in history was reported in Theatre Arts Magazine. A subscriber, wishing to report on a particular upcoming event in his community, dialled directory enquiries to get the magazine’s telephone number. The operator drawled, ‘Sorry, but there’s nobody listed by the name of Theodore Arts’’. The subscriber insisted, ‘It’s not a person; it’s a publication. I want Theatre Arts.’ The operator responded, this time a little louder. ‘I told you, we have no listing for Theodore Arts in this city. Perhaps he lives in another city.’ By now the subscriber was thoroughly peeved. ‘Confound it, the word is theatre: T-H-E-A-T-R-E!’ The operator came back with equal certainty in her voice, ‘That – is not the way to spell Theodore.’ Arguing; it’s a waste of time.

[03/09, 9:18 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* FRIDAY, 4TH SEPTEMBER, 2026. *STRENGTH AND EMPOWERMENT BY THE WORD* *TEXT:* PSALM 119:25-32. 25 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. 26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes. 27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. 28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word. 29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. 30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me. 31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O Lord, put me not to shame. 32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. *Timeless Truth:*_"I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me"_( Psalm 119:30). Aw *INTRODUCTION* There is unquantiable power stored in the Word of God which can only be released through revelation knowledge and faith in whatever comes from the mouth of the Lord. As a result of its supernatural inspiration, import, impact and influence, anyone who believes the Word will experience the supernatural power of God. The psalmist, in the text, listed some of the supernatural manifestations of the Word of God. The Bible is a supernatural Book producing supernatural effects on those who read and study to believe and act upon it. *1. Strength from Defeat* *"My soul cleaveth unto the dust"*. This is indicative of defeat, fall, depression and powerlessness. How do you handle this? The psalmist shows the best secret by asking God to use His Word to make him alive. *"Quicken thou me according to thy word"*. The Word of God is life and God never does anything outside His Word. When the dose of the Word of God is mixed with faith through the help of the Holy Spirit, spiritual life and strength is injected into the human spirit and make it lively and strong. *Question* Do you dive into the Word of God whenever it appears you are weak and getting defeated? *2. Spiritual Direction* The psalmist was first opened to God when he confessed all his actions and ways to God. *"I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me"*. Definitely, such confession will be heard by God. Why was he opening up his ways to God when God did not ask him to do so? He wanted God to examine, instruct, correct and teach him. The only way God could do it was through His Word. *"Teach me thy statutes"*. Without studying the Word, all hope and expectation of hearing from God will be wasted. *Question* Do you receive and act on corrections, instructions and rebuke from the Word of God? *3. Sensitivity to the Doctrines* One thing is to read the Word of God, perhaps casually. It is another thing to take time to prayerfully, meditate on it and understand the message. Without prayerfully, making efforts to understand by the help of God, the Bible will be as powerless as other books or literature. *"Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works"*. *Question* How often do you sincerely, pray this prayer? *4. Strength Over Depression* The Word of God is an effective dose for depression, disappointments, defeats and distress. The Word of God with prayers gives strength and fortitude to bear heavy burdens which could seriously weigh a graceless person down. The comfort of the Holy Spirit, through the Word of God, can penetrate into the innermost soul and give succour and joy when it is not humanly possible. *"My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word"*. *Question* Do you have the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit? *5. Sanctification Through Devotion* How shall a man cleanse his ways? By taking heed according to God's Word. The Word of God purifies the souls, renews scriptural convictions and keeps someone in righteousness. When a preacher stops eating the Word, his personal convictions on the truth will fade with time. How much more of just a church member. *"Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously"*. *Question* How has the Scriptures effectively helped you to live a holy life always? *6. Separation Through Decision* A heart that is void of definite decisions for God and righteousness will find it difficult to make godly choices in this polluted and corrupted world. Godly decisions must be guided by the Word of God and not philosophy of men or our own ideas.*"I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me"*. *Question* What are the non-negotiable decisions you have made in line with the Word of God? *7. Shame Destroyed* You cannot be stuck in the Word of God and be put to shame. He promised, *"My people shall not be ashamed"*. *I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame"*. *Question* Where in the Scriptures is the promise, *"My people shall not be ashamed"?* *8. Saintly Determination* *"I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart"*. How about you? *Prayer Points* 1.Give praises to God for the gift of the Word of God 🙏. 2.Ask that the Word of God will work mightily in your life bringing forth fruits 🙏. 3.Pray that your faith in the Word of God will continue to grow stronger and deeper 🙏. 4.Ask that the Word of God we read and hear will mix with faith in the heart of all 🙏. *HYMN:* Thy Word Is A Lamp To My Feet. *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* LEVITICUS 12-14.

I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me" (PSALM 119:29, 30).*_ *At a county fair, a distinctively dressed Quaker offered a horse for sale. A non-Quaker farmer asked its price, and since Quakers had a reputation for fair dealing, he bought the horse without hesitation. The farmer got the horse home, only to discover it was lazy and ill-tempered, so he took it back to the fair the next day. There he confronted the Quaker. "Thou hast no complaint against me," said the Quaker. "Had thou asked me about the horse, I would have told thee truthfully the problems, but thou didst not ask." "That's okay," replied the farmer, "I don't want you to take the horse back. I want you to try to sell him to someone else."* *Heaven-bound believers are not allowed to be like the Quaker in the above story. Believers must have a reputation for telling the truth. Our Bible text portrays the believer as someone who abhors lying and chooses the way of truth deliberately. There is no middle ground or neutrality between truth and falsehood. If you are not in the way of truth, then definitely you are in the way of error. Men do not just drop into the right way by chance; they must choose it and continue therein or else wander away from it. Also highlighted in the text is the fact that there is a practical way of holiness which we must diligently follow, in spite of the odds we might face.* *As believers in Christ, we must live up to divine expectation. Interestingly, the Spirit of God in us will not lead us in the way of error and falsehood. So, we must be careful not to learn sinful habits of joking with lies and deceit. The devil does not consider lies as jokes because he is a liar and the author of it.* *Choosing the way of truth begins with a salvation experience and continues with abiding in Christ, His word and fellowship with fellow believers. Each of us must have the purpose of mind like Daniel to follow the way of truth, speak the truth and stand for the truth always.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*Truth transforms, prevails and blesses.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *LEVITICUS 12-14*📜📜 A Reputation For Truth https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 260: GRACIOUS SPIRIT, DWELL WITH ME; GHS 49: LET OTHERS SEE JESUS IN YOU; GHS 185: THE THING MY GOD DOTH HATE; AND GHS 189: TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna4thSeptember2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [03/09, 9:18 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```FRIDAY 4TH SEPTEMBER, 2026``` *SUFFICIENT DIVINE SUPPLY* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🗣️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽🙌🏽 📜📜```TEXT:PHILIPPIANS 4:15-20```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus" (PHILIPPIANS 4:19).*_ *It is heartwarming to know that God is the source of our supply.

It is common to give presents to your friends and siblings, but the last person you imagine you can ever give something to, is God. We often feel God is too rich. He owns everything in heaven and on earth - what can we give to Him? God desires a present from you: your heart and your whole body. Give Him your heart: your thoughts and motives; your mouth: your words and songs; your hands: what you touch and take; your eyes: what you watch and delight to see; your legs: where you go to and how you play; your ears: the music you enjoy and the words you hear. Give everything about your body as a present to God. Make all a living, holy, acceptable and reasonable present to God. Your body is not your own, it is God's. He made you in His own image.

Gordon O Jesus, our Savior, You alone can give us life. You came into this world that we might have life, abundant life. Fill us with life as we begin this new day. We will need it at every step.

Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* THURSDAY 3RD SEPTEMBER, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD. *TOPIC:* HUSBAND: A GIFT TO THE WIFE. *TEXT:* SONGS OF SONGS 2:1-7. 1. I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. 2. Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the young women. 3. Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste. 4. Let him lead me to the banquet hall, and let his banner over me be love. 5. Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love. 6. His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me. 7. Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. *TOPIC:* HUSBAND: A GIFT TO THE WIFE. *THE MESSAGE:* The genuine love that binds husbands and wife comes from God. Our text makes it clear that God directs a man to a woman. At first sight, he fell in love with her and would not want a competitor. His love and care for his wife please her so much that she does not desire any other. Indeed, this is a good gift. Their love was not based on material things. Sadly, some families struggle because their love for each other is centred on material things. The foundation of such homes is shaky and easily crumbles when lack or poverty sets in. Husbands, do you love your wife as God desires? Remember, you are a gift to your wife, so treat her well. *REFLECTION:* Cherish your spouse. *PRAYER:* Lord, thank You for the gift of husbands. 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:* HOSEA 7-8. ED.ii. HOLY WATER "But whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life." - John 4:14 There is nothing on this earth that gives man everlasting satisfaction. Everything is temporary, just for a while. Everybody longs for complete fulfillment. However, if we find something which makes us happy, this too is temporary and you would need a new 'shot' for satisfaction over and over again. Our desire for complete fulfillment cannot be satisfied. Living water Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well and tells her that everyone who drinks this earthly water does not quench their thirst, because it is only temporary. Jesus gives us the living water, the eternal life. It is free. 'If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked Him and He would have given you living water' (John 4:10). This method also applies for today. You just have to ask and the Lord will give it to you. The big problem is that many do not know that there is eternal life for them and that is why they do not ask for it. However, if you ask for it, God will give it as a free gift. The gift of eternal life You can receive Divine life through 'rebirth'. Eternal life is a gift of grace from God. Jesus talks about the 'gift from God'. You do not have to do anything but accept it. Jesus has already paid for it when He died on the cross. There we find forgiveness and the promise of an eternal life. This gift is the only true, everlasting satisfaction people are able to receive spiritually. This is the living water Jesus is talking about. Jesus is the Fountain who wants the living water, the Holy Spirit, to flow into us. https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in thee. ⏤ Isaiah 26:3 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, uttered or unexpressed. ⏤ James Montgomery Father, though it’s dark around us, it is always light with You. We come at nightfall to thank You for the day’s mercies and to confess our sins. Blot out every transgression. Wash us, and we shall be whiter than snow. Accept what we bring to You tonight, and let Your blessing be upon it all. We ask You for Your special peace. We remember Your promise to keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on You. We desire to keep our minds stayed on You. You are an everlasting rock. You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. You are the everlasting Father. Nothing ever disturbs Your security. We would lean . . . Our weakness on Your strength, Our ignorance on Your wisdom, Our trembling insecurity on Your unchangeableness. We would rest in You. Help us to rest in You as birds rest in their nests in the great rock, and not be afraid. Save us from all fear. We are only little children in this world of danger, but we are safe in You. Help us, therefore, to trust and never be afraid. Cover us with Your sheltering wings. Hold us in the clasp of Your hand—in the embrace of Your everlasting arms. Preserve us from . . . The fascinations of the world, The assaults of the tempter, The insidious wickedness of our own hearts. May You bless our mutual influence as a home. We love each other; may our love grow more tender. Sometimes we fail to show our love, even appearing cold, indifferent, and ungracious. Help us to be kindly affectionate in manner as well as loving in heart. We pray for our neighbors and friends. May Your grace be upon them. Comfort the sorrowful, Relieve the distressed, Have mercy upon the sinful. We ask all in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/60/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🌹🎀🎁💝🌺 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 3, 2026. "IMPORTANT OR INSIGNIFICANT, YOU CAN BE SAVED" '…Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved...’ Acts 16:31 NKJV BY PUTTING your trust in Christ, your soul will be saved and your life will be changed for the better. The testimonies that this is so, exists in hundreds of thousands of famous people such as William Gladstone, one of Britain’s greatest Prime Ministers, whose life was transformed by God. Abraham Lincoln tells us in his letters that at Gettysburg, the day he delivered his famous address, he too, was born again of God’s Spirit. Martin Luther had been exceedingly religious, even as Nicodemus was, and yet had known nothing of the new birth. But all that changed when he discovered these words in scripture: ‘…The just shall live by faith’ (Romans 1:17 NKJV). Writers like Fyodor Dostoevsky and Leo Tolstoy of Russia, have described the work of God’s Spirit in utterly transforming their lives. Men like Chuck Colson, aide to President Richard Nixon and author of the bestseller Born Again have told of being radically changed by the new birth. And whether you live in a mansion or a mud hut, you too can be saved. When the Philippian jailer asked Paul, ‘What must I do to be saved?’ Paul didn’t give him a theological dissertation. No, he simply said: ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.’ Think: Not only can you be saved today, but through your life and testimony your entire family can be won to Christ, if they repent (2 Peter 3:9 CEV). Imagine the difference that could make! Do you have to understand it? No, but you can experience it. How? By placing your trust in Christ today.

[02/09, 9:54 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* THURSDAY, 3RD SEPTEMBER, 2026. *EVANGELISM BY THE FIRE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT* *TEXT:* ACTS 5:12-16. 12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch. 13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them. 14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.) 15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. 16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one. *Timeless Truth:*_"And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover"_ (Mark 16:17,18). *INTRODUCTION* Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke led over 79 million people to Jesus Christ during his 30 years outreaches that spanned 1987-2017. He believed and practiced "Evangelism by Fire" which was compiled into a Book. It focused on passionate, Holy Spirit-led soul-winning. Preaching with the fire of the Holy Spirit is rooted in scripture like Luke 3:16, *"he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire"*. The "fire" represents God's active, undeniable power, zeal and purity in sharing the Gospel. Bonnke’s teaching emphasized that an unpreached gospel is incomplete; believers are called to actively engage the lost rather than wait passively. The Great Commission urges Christians to center their lives and ministries around fulfilling Jesus' command to preach to all nations. While not every believer is called to be an evangelist, every believer is called to be a passionate soulwinner. Obedience to the call to win souls is pivotal to Christian growth, exploits for Christ and making heaven at last. *1. Miracle Attestation by Christ* a. Holy Ghost fire was kindled in Jerusalem, the city that killed the Saviour and were breathing out hatred and violence against anything called Christ. That fire of the gospel, rather than being quenched, was able to overcome satanic oppositions of religious leaders. There was an explosion of revival. The population of the early Christian church grew from about 1,000 believers in AD 40 to roughly 6 million people, about 10% of the Roman Empire by AD 300. At that rate, in 350 AD, there were 33,882,005 Christians in a population of 60 Million or 56.% of the Roman Population. What was the main and initial secret that could break all oppositions? *"And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people"*. First, this was what Jesus promised them in Mark 16:16-20. God will always faithfully keep to the part of His deal if we do our part. While every believer is given power to heal and deliver the oppressed, God determines who He will use for mighty miracles and great deliverances. That time He used the Apostles. *"And they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch"*. First, it takes a greater miracle to turn the mind and heart of man to be united with that of fellow believers than to move mountains. Where there is true unity, the genuine work of the Holy Spirit is evident and the mighty manifestations through the power of the Holy Spirit is irresistible. b. Their venue of the gathering was Solomon’s Porch. It is the second temple with a massive compound, with extensive colonnades and covered areas. No doubt, the early Christians gathered together in a particular area of the temple complex, in an area open to all. This underlines the importance of vibrant fellowship for revival to take place. Once there is coldness and mere routine in the attendance of fellowship of the brethren, personal and corporate revival becomes elusive. *Question* Do you have the fire for fellowship, unity with the brethren and passion for souls? *2. Multitude Additions to the Church* a. True revival or divine visitation is not known by just the additions of people to the local church, but by the additions of people to the Lord through genuine and observable conversions. "Mixed multitudes" can just be added to the church so as to belong to the winning team in the society or to continue eating the daily manna in the wilderness. *"And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women"*. The multitudes that were added were first added to the Lord before they were counted as being added to the visible church. Changed and transformed lives are the only parameter for true additions to the church. b. There were miracles that attested to what they were preaching and those undeniable miracles contributed to the silencing of the arch-enemies of the gospel and made people to rebel against their antagonism of the gospel. *"Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them"*. The shadow of Peter did not have healing power, but Jesus used his shadow to heal. People understood Peter when he announced that the miracles that happened were never *"by our power and holiness"* (Acts 3:12-16). Since they did not idolize the shadow of Peter, Jesus could continue using that shadow for His glory. We should not idolize whatever or whosoever God is using to do wonders else the wonders will cease. What do you expect? There came *"Multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one"*. This was an answer to what the Apostles prayed for in Acts 4:30. Some prayed for prosperity and they got it. It is always good to prioritize prayers according to the mind of Christ. Our prayers should be salvation centred. Miracles are heralds of church growth that break skepticism in the heart and convince the sinners of the presence, power and passion of Christ to help the needy. *Question* "And they were healed everyone". Why is this not happening today? *3. Many still Adamant in Carnality* a. Can you imagine that inspite of the visible transformed lives of believers and the clear manifestations of the power of God in a way that had never happened in Israel, some still refused to be converted? They admired the miracles, the integrity, the righteous living and the consecration of the saints to Christ, but they were not ready to pay the price of righteous living. They chose to continue in the carnal ways against all entreaties to get converted. They were deceived to think that serving self and Satan rather than the Saviour was better. *"And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them"*. This is the state of sinners today. This makes the preaching of the gospel to be continuous without relenting or satisfaction with the status quo. Every believer must be engaged, therefore, in persuading and convincing sinners that following Christ is better than following the way of sin and carnality. *"Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men"* (2 Corinthians 5:11). Peter also did this work of persuasion in the day of Pentecost. *"And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation"* (Acts 2:40). Persuasive and convincing presentation of the gospel is an added key to opening the hardened and blinded door of the heart of sinners. *Question* Do you take pain to persuade sinners or you just dump the gospel on them and go your way? *Prayer Points* 1.Ask for forgiveness where you have been negligent in soulwinning🙏. 2.Ask for more fire of the Holy Ghost so that your preaching will bring conviction and salvation 🙏. 3.Pray for wisdom and unction to know how to persuade sinners to obey the gospel 🙏. 4.Ask for more of God's miracles, signs and wonders through you and the church leaders 🙏. *HYMN:* These signs shall follow them *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* LEVITICUS 8-11.

Was it only meant to be true of the early church? ... The Scriptures never anywhere say that these things were only temporary - never! There is no such statement anywhere." Signs and wonders heralded by purity are the insignia of the Church Age.* *Our text details the supernatural flow of power from believers in the early church to accomplish divine counsel. The downpour of pentecostal power on those early believers led to an unprecedented ingathering of souls who would ordinarily not believe the gospel. Expectedly, "many signs and wonders were wrought among the people". More staggering was the result that followed the miracles: "Believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women". It is obvious then that the divine, unassailable purpose of power manifestation principally is to shatter the shell of disinterest, shame the jeers of cynicism, and smash the shield of false religion. Power heralds the word of grace, softens the hardened heart, and wings the gospel into the heart of sinners. Wherever the true soul-saving gospel is preached, the miraculous comes to authenticate it to the glory of God.* *Many believers today think that miracles are on par with the word of His grace. That is a fallacy. Signs and wonders do not save. They are not the power of God unto salvation; the gospel is! God's power to work wonders neither competes with His Word nor contradicts it. It is not above the Word, either. Signs, wonders and miracles are divine witnesses to the value, necessity, and centrality of the Word.* *You have the privilege of a beautiful blend of benefits for a God-pleasing life and fruitful service today. The word of His grace that emphasises and teaches the necessity of the new birth and the purity of life is at your disposal. Added to this is the promise of enduement with power to confirm the Word in soul-winning, which follows a consecrated thirst and tarrying to receive.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*Power evangelism is a necessary validator of the gospel even today.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *LEVITICUS 8-11*📜📜 Power Evangelism https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 150: PENTECOSTAL POWER; GHS 153: WITH SIGNS FOLLOWING; GHS 154: GIVE ME A DOUBLE PORTION; AND GHS 255: LET THE FIRE FALL* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna3rdSeptember2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [02/09, 9:54 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```THURSDAY 3RD SEPTEMBER, 2026``` *SING SPIRITUAL SONGS* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🗣️🎙️💬🎼🎶🎵🎹🎷🎺🪊🪗🪉🎻🪈🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽🙌🏽 📜📜```TEXT:EPHESIANS 5:15-21```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord" (EPHESIANS 5:19).*_ *Spiritual songs minister to the total man.

They had agreed before that it was a convenient time to go and pluck the mangoes, now that the owner had travelled for a holiday. They were not aware of the camera installed on the solar light pole standing close to the mango tree. The solar enables the owner to watch his compound wherever he is in any part of the world. It was foolish for them to think that there is a convenient time to do what is wrong. No time is convenient to do evil. Some people wait for a convenient time to commit crime. How could it ever be convenient to sin? Some children say, *"It is not convenient now, let us wait until when mom and dad have gone out."* Some say, *"Wait until when the invigilator is not looking in this direction."* Some say: *"We will do it when everyone has gone away, or when it is night."* How convenient is it for some people to do what is bad: tell a lie, fight, cheat, deceive, betray and even kill? Unfortunately, Judas Iscariot waited for a convenient time to betray his Master. For that, he is suffering terrible pain and eternal regret in hell fire. *Do not betray the Lord in your word and in your action. The eyes of God see better than the best camera in the world.

The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” 19. Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam no suitable helper was found. 21. So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, He took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 22. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib He had taken out of the man, and He brought her to the man. 23. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” *TOPIC:* WIFE: A GIFT TO THE HUSBAND *THE MESSAGE:* God declared that it is not good for the man to be alone. This statement is a clear expression of His grace towards him. God decided to meet man's needs. From the man, a rib was taken and made into a wife. She was brought to the man, and he recognised her as bone and flesh of himself. Proverbs 18:22 says, "He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favour from the Lord." A wife who fails to present herself as a favour to her husband has been unable to recognise her worth as a precious gift from God. Women ought to cherish and submit to their husbands as God intends. You are a good gift from God to your husband. Hence, do not be troublesome such that your husband will desire happiness outside the home (Prov. 27:15-16). *REFLECTION:* Wives are gifts from God. *PRAYER:* Lord, thank You for the gift of wives. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* PROVERBS 3:34. He mocks the proud mocker but gives grace to the humble and oppressed. *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* HOSEA 4-6. ED.ii. THE EVIL ONE PATROLLING THE EARTH "One day the members of the heavenly court came to present themselves before the Lord, and the accuser, satan, came with them. 'Where have you come from?' the Lord asked satan. Satan answered the Lord, 'I have been patrolling the earth, watching everything that's going on." - Job 1:6-7 There are many people who do not believe in the evil one. But if you look around and see what is happening, you realize that you do not see the evil one personally, but you do see what he is doing. Do you know that the evil one is patrolling the earth? One day, while God was sitting on His throne, He allowed the angels to appear before Him so He could judge their works. On that day which we read about in the book of Job, the evil one also appears among the angels. God interrupts His lawsuit, turns to the evil one and asks: 'Where have you come from'? The evil one answers: 'I have been patrolling the earth.' The work of the evil one When the evil one is patrolling the earth, he inspires troublemakers to mess things up. He tries to separate husband and wife, mother and child or brother and sister. There is no greater pleasure for him to bring separation into a church. Jesus says to Peter: 'Listen, satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat.' Separation is the work of the evil one while he patrols the earth. He will also visit you during his patrol. You cannot escape from it. Another tactic he uses is deception. With his lies, he attempts for example for people to disobey the Word of God. There are many who hear 'voices' and do terrible things. I can tell you from whom those voices are. There is hope Yet there is hope! Because Jesus Christ came into the world to put an end to the activities of the evil one. There is hope in whatever misery, there is hope in each circumstance. Jesus crushed the head of the evil one on the cross. James 4:7 says: 'Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.' https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. ⏤ Matthew 18:10 Work as if everything depended upon you and pray as if everything depended upon God. ⏤ Francis of Assisi We asked You this morning for the grace to be cheerful and to be messengers of good cheer to others. We thank You for whatever we were able to do in learning this lesson. Bless to others every cheerful word we spoke, and may the influence of our lives be a blessing to many. Where we failed to practice this lesson, please forgive us. We ask that You continue to teach us, and may we grow in this grace of cheerfulness until our daily lives become daily blessings. We have tried to carry comfort and strength to others. Yet some of those around us are in trouble that we cannot reach. The trouble is beyond our ability to help. May You be their comforter. If it is not Your will to take away the trial, may You give them the grace to endure it with patience, and may You cause it to work for their good so that they grow in grace and are brought nearer to You. We make a special prayer tonight, O God, for the children. We thank You for childhood and for all it means to homes and to this world. We thank You for children’s voices, which bring so much music into life. We thank You for the simplicity and humility of the children. Bless the children of this world. May they be instruments of grace in every home where their voices are heard. Bless homes for the sake of the children. May all parents be so like Jesus to the little ones who gather around them, that the young and tender lives will be beautiful and blessed, and that they may grow up into strong men and women, fearing You, loving and living the truth, and making the world holier. And to Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we will give praise, honor, and worship, forevermore. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/59/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good morning, brethren. 1. MD.i. 😀🌺🌹🎁🎀💝 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 2, 2O26. "TAKE GOD TO WORK WITH YOU" 'You are the salt of the earth...Matthew 5:13 NKJV. JON GORDON says: ‘I speak to a lot of organisations on the importance of positive leadership and the benefits of building a positive culture that fuels performance. Yet the most common question I receive is, “How do I stay positive when my boss isn’t?” Here are a few suggestions: Even though you’re not the leader…focus on being the best and bringing out the best in the people you work with…tune out negativity and negative comments. Remember, you can’t control what other people say and do, but you can control how you react.’ Dr. David Hawkins says, ‘Eighty percent of the population vibrates to a negative frequency. It’s all around us. Stay above the fray.’ There’s an old adage, ‘Never wrestle with a pig because you’ll both get dirty—and the pig will enjoy himself!’ Jesus said, ‘You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.’ Matthew 5:14 NKJV. Make up your mind to be the beacon that shines in your workplace. Bottom line: most people don’t enjoy being negative. Many times they’re that way because of stress, being too busy and fear. Most of them just need a wake-up call to break out of their rut, and contrary to what you may think, you can be that instrument of change. Jesus also said, ‘You are the salt of the earth,’ and salt has two functions. It stops things from going bad, and it adds taste and flavour. Your job as a Christian is to preserve, reconcile, and give hope to those around you; including the people you work with every day.’ So, take God to work with you.

[01/09, 9:29 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* WEDNESDAY, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 2026. *EXPLOITS AFTER A REGRETFUL AND GREAT FALL* *TEXT:* JUDGES 16:22-31. 22 Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven. 23 Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand. 24 And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which slew many of us. 25 And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars. 26 And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them. 27 Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport. 28 And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O LORD God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes. 29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left. 30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life. 31 Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years. *Timeless Truth:* _"Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me"_ (Micah 7:8). *INTRODUCTION* Have you ever experienced a fatal fall, a deadly defeat or a failed project and frustrations before? Do you have a great expectation of being used by God, but suddenly the unexpected happened and you became hopeless? Samson comes as an encouragement and hopes that the beginning does not recommend a man, but the end. It is not the great fall that matters, but how you respond to it. Micah was very hopeful when he said *"when I fall I will rise again"*. There are people who think a great fall or failure is the end of life. Samson turned his own to a great exploit and his name is among the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11. Failure is painful, especially, when it follows great privilege, remarkable strength and outstanding opportunities. Samson's fall was regrettable because he allowed lust, carelessness, and disobedience to rob him of his spiritual strength and divine usefulness. Yet, the text reveals that failure does not necessarily have to be the final chapter of a person's life. Though Samson lost his sight, freedom, reputation and strength, God was still able to accomplish His purpose through a repentant and dependent servant. There can be restoration and renewed exploits after a great fall when we return genuinely to God. *1. Faith Restoration Through Strategic Silence* a. Though he fell through his carelessness, he had the opportunity to go into silence and reflected about his life, how he fell, why he fell and the pathway to restoration. He did not allow his fall to resign him to hopeless regrets. The restoration of his faith and strength was represented by the restoration of his hairs, the emblem of his power. *“Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven off.”* Samson's hair began to grow again while he was in captivity. It took time. Restoration from a great fall may take time too and it will require patience. There is no record of great speeches, self-defence or public arguments from him during this period. Sometimes, restoration begins in the quiet place of reflection, repentance and renewed dependence on God. Samson's growing hair symbolized the gradual restoration of his consecration and relationship with the Lord. b. At times, the Church puts someone on Church discipline after a great or regrettable fall. It is not meant to destroy the person's life and ministry. It is meant to help him withdraw from the noisy environment of activities and reflect to get restored and get refuelled. Times of silence should not be a time of passivity or engaging in worldly and vain engagements. Apostle Paul, though never a fallen hero, had several long time of silence in ministry. After conversion, he stayed three years in Arabia and Damascus (Syria) (Galatians 1:17,18). He also spent two years at least once in incarceration (Acts 28:30). Were they a waste of years for a very active itenerant apostle? The silent period was an opportunity for him to stay away from the noisy environment and concentrate on God for restoration, renewal, revival and revelation of the mystery of the gospel Those who have fallen should not remain permanently in despair; they should quietly return to God and allow His grace to rebuild what sin has destroyed. *Question* Are you allowing God to restore your faith and consecration in the quiet place of genuine repentance? *2. False Representation of Satanic Strength* a. The Philistines ascribed the fall and the defeat of Samson to their idol. The Philistines gathered to celebrate and give glory to Dagon for Samson's capture. They falsely concluded that their god had defeated the God of Israel. Was it true that it was the god of the Philistines that made Samson to be defeated? Was it the Dagon that made Samson to be careless with women? Was it Dagon that made Samson marry outside Israel which was against the will of God? Was it Dagon that made Samson to be careless with his calling? Definitely NO. Samson decided to yield his will in the wrong direction and the consequences of such actions were inevitably deadly. In the same way, Satan deceives his followers to believe that all the good that happens to them are from him and all the defeats or falling that happen to the saints are his works. But they are lies. Today many saints ascribe their falls or defeats to Satan when in actual fact the problem was the state of their heart and wrong choices in life. Satan does not have the power to make a saint of God to fall or backslide without the cooperation and will of the person. He is not Almighty. b. Satan always seeks to turn the failure of God's people into an occasion for mocking God and celebrating evil. Samson bore full responsibility for his actions and had nothing to do with God's power. In fact, no matter the satanic assault, God has the power to keep the saint from falling. *"Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.."* (Jude 24). God can keep all His children from falling and from any fault from now till eternity. Satan may exploit a believer's momentary fall, but God's purpose cannot be permanently destroyed. What appears to be the end may become the beginning of a new testimony. Let no failure give the enemy the final opportunity to define your destiny. *Question* Will you rise through God's grace and refuse to allow your past failure to become Satan's permanent testimony against your life? *3. Full Realization of the Strength of the Spirit* a. Samson, though for a short time, got his ministry back in full force, the angel that prophesied of his birth prophesied that *"he shall begin to deliver the children of Israel from the hand of the Philistines"*. His faith was restored, he also got the power of prayer which we did not see manifested in him before his fall, showing a deeper and closer walk with God as a result of his confinement. He got the lost anointing back. He was able to destroy thousands of Philistines more than he ever did altogether in his lifetime. Mighty exploits can still be done for God at an old age when it appears the person should only be expecting death. Age is a number and challenges are all stepping stones to greater profitability. Great exploits can still be accomplished inspite of human frailty or weakness. Samson did more as a blind person than when the two eyes were seeing. Great things can still be done for God after a great fall or defeat like it happened to Samson. Samson was listed among the great heroes of faith because he did not allow his unfortunate spiritual and ministerial accident to define his life. He shook that psychological trauma off his garment and continued to move on after a fresh encounter with God. b. He cried unto the Lord, saying, *“O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once.”* His greatest victory came when he fully depended upon God's strength. The Spirit of God enabled Samson to accomplish in his final moment what he could not achieve by personal strength alone. The exploit was not a celebration of Samson's physical power, but a demonstration of divine strength working through a humbled and dependent man. His final victory teaches us that God can still use a broken vessel that sincerely, returns to Him. Those who know how to cry to God will have their limitations under their feet. *Question* Have you fully realized that lasting victory and meaningful exploits can only come through the strength supplied by the Spirit of God? *Prayer Points* 1.Lord, have mercy upon me and restore every area of my life that has been damaged through sin, disobedience and carelessness 🙏. 2.Father, grant me the grace to remain quiet, humble and repentant while You rebuild my faith and consecration 🙏. 3.O Lord, disappoint every satanic celebration and turn my past failures into testimonies of Your restoring grace 🙏. 4.Father, let the Holy Spirit, strengthen Your children afresh and enable us to accomplish great exploits for Your glory , in Jesus' name 🙏. *HYMN:* Never Give Up *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* LEVITICUS 5-7.

This is quite understandable. To the runner, already seeing the finishing line, the last lap is so decisive and, therefore, demands that the runner throws in everything he can muster.* *As seen in our text, Samson was in the final lap of his ministry and life. For about two decades, he had been the champion of Israel. Severally, he had humbled the enemies of Israel, especially the Philistines, by his God-given superhuman strength. But alas! he fell in love with Delilah - a Philistines harlot who had a mandate to bring him down. She tricked Samson into revealing the secret of his power. The Philistines cashed in on that information, bound Samson, put out his eyes and made him grind in their prison. Thus, Samson became a classical victim of fleshly lust.* *In today's text, we find Samson thoroughly abused during the Philistines' solemn festival in honour of Dagon, their god. They made a show of him. But Samson remembered his God and prayed for just one more chance to deal with the Philistines. The Lord granted his prayer, and he, holding on to the two key pillars of the huge theatre, pulled the structure down, crushing the whole assembly of men and women and dying in the process. He slew more in death than in life.* *We have as much to learn from Samson's restoration as from his last prayer. Any backslider that sincerely runs back to God, even if it be by the force of adversity, will receive pardon and grace. As believers, we must be conscious of the desperate hour we are in today. We have come to the last lap of history. The hosts of hell must not be allowed to have the last laugh. Our reserved strength and preserved resources must be called up for the great commission and the challenges of the hour. We must muster our reserved strength and passion to cause unprecedented damage to the kingdom of Satan and rescue souls from his prison house.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*We have limited time to make an impact for God.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *LEVITICUS 5-7*📜📜 One More Chance For The Lord https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 58: THE LAST MILE OF THE WAY; AND GHS 251: ONLY REMEMBERED* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna2ndSeptember2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [01/09, 9:29 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```WEDNESDAY 2ND SEPTEMBER, 2026``` *SAFETY WHEN IT IS STORMY* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🌊🌨️⛈️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:ACTS 27:13-25```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me" (ACTS 27:25).*_ *Stormy weather refers to a violent disturbance of the atmosphere with strong winds, rain, thunder, lightning or snow.

Storms, like persecution, hunger, academic setback, inadequate provision, loss of close relatives, are common to believers. Storms do not signify the end of the road.

No amount of storm can flush out the water inside the coconut fruit. Apostle Paul got to Rome despite the storm on his way. With Jesus in your heart, you will surely smile during stormy moments.

Morning Prayer for today. MP.i. Morning Prayer These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. ⏤ John 16:33 There is nothing that makes us love a man so much as praying for him. ⏤ William Law May You teach us the lesson of cheerfulness, O God. We are too easily irritated and cast down. We let little troubles and difficulties discourage us. Our joy is too easily overshadowed. Our song of gladness too often turns into a dirge. We fret ourselves needlessly and fail to rejoice always. Sorrows come over us like a flood and bury us beneath their dark waves. Our gladness is too easily turned to sadness as life’s cares and trials come upon us. We hear You bidding us to be of good cheer because You have overcome the world, telling us that though we have tribulations, we may have peace in You. But the lesson is not easy. It’s hard for us to keep the song always in our hearts and the sunshine always on our faces when there are so many cares. We come to You, pleading that You will teach us how to always be cheerful. Help us to have such a strong, quiet, firm faith in Jesus that no matter what comes into our lives, we may always rejoice. Rescue us from discouragement, no matter how great its cause may appear to be. Help us to cast every burden on You, sure that You will sustain us. Help us to learn to rejoice even in disappointments, knowing that if we could see all as You see, we would find beauty and good in everything that seems painful and dark to us. We desire to be ministers of cheer to others. Forbid that we should go out with sadness in our faces, casting a shadow on other lives. May we be sunshine to others. May we show the world what grace can do in making us messengers of gladness. We ask this in the name of Him who overcame the world and can give us peace. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/59/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion. Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *WELCOME TO SEPTEMBER, 2026.* SUB-THEME: THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD. *INTRODUCTION:* Humility is the product of God's grace. Man is justified freely by God's grace through the redemptive work of Christ Jesus (Rom. 3:24). God intends for the family to enjoy His grace. Therefore, the focus for this month is "THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD." We shall study how the family should live and display grace to one another. As we examine how grace should be displayed in family relationships, may we be willing to learn and change our graceless attitudes where necessary so that our homes may fulfil God's desire for families. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* PROVERBS 3:34. He mocks the proud mocker but gives grace to the humble and oppressed. *DATE:* TUESDAY 1ST SEPTEMBER, 2026. *TOPIC:* FAMILY INSTITUTED BY GOD. *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:* FAMILY INSTITUTED BY GOD. *THE MESSAGE:* The creation of man in God's image is simply by grace. Man did nothing to merit that. God foresaw that man would need a companion, so, in creation, a provision was made for the woman. Today's passage makes it clear that God created the female alongside the man, though not visibly seen. That is why, at the right time, God only needed to make visible the woman who was in man (Gen. 2:18, 21-22). Indeed, this is the institution of the family. The understanding that God is the originator of the family is enough to make humanity respect the family setup. You are counselled to seek God's will and directions in seeking a life partner because He knows the person who can help fulfil His mandate or purpose in life. *REFLECTION:* The family is God's initiative. *PRAYER:* Lord, thank You for the gift of my family. Amen. *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* HOSEA 1-3. ED.ii. WHY IS THE BIBLE THE TRUTH? "For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." - Hebrews 4:12 God wants us to have a good life, because Jesus says: 'I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full' (John 10:10). To be able to enjoy this good life it is important for our faith to be based on the firm foundation that the Bible is the inspired Word of God! The Bible teaches all that God has spoken. If you do not believe that, then there is no need to discuss further! God speaks through His Word I believe the Bible is true because of the content. God speaks to us from His Word. You have to know the Word. God says: 'My people are being destroyed because they don't know Me' (Hosea 4:6). When you get to know the Bible, you will believe God. Inspired by God's Holy Spirit The Bible is written by shepherds, politicians, princes, kings, poets, doctors and prophets. People from different layers of society, from different cultures and backgrounds and during a period of 2000 years. The 66 books of the Bible deal with various topics such as history, poetry, prophecy, proverbs, etc. So many different writers, so many different books and yet one book full of harmony. All chapters have the same purpose, the same doctrine: a plan of love, a plan of salvation, a plan of faith. How is it possible for these 40 writers to be so united? They all were inspired by the Holy Spirit of God, who has always been the same throughout the ages. This is the reason for the harmony. Nobody has ever been able to prove that the Bible is not true. That is why I say to you: be filled with the Word of God. Read your Bible - the Truth - every day. Let the Bible take a central place in your life. The Bible provides the answer to all your problems. Approach God more and you will see that He shows Himself to you more and more. https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. ⏤ Proverbs 27:17 To clasp the hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising against the disorder of the world. ⏤ Karl Barth Father in Heaven, we, Your children, come before You at this holy evening hour. Your blessings have followed us every day, and Your protection has sheltered us every night. We are weak, mere infants in this great world, but Your strength has always enfolded us, and Your love has always warmed our hearts. This evening, we seek new blessings. May Your holy love fill our hearts, and may the beauty of the Lord Jesus be upon us. We have encountered many people today. May the words we spoke to others, even in passing, not be lost or in vain. May they be as good seeds, growing beauty along the paths we have walked. If we have spoken wrong words, forgive us, and grant us an opportunity to say something good that will counteract the negative influence. Bless and sanctify the touches and influences that other lives have left upon us today. Let nothing be done that mars our character because of any wrong done to us or in us today.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🎀💝🎁🌺🌹 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY FRIDAY JULY 24, 2O26. "DON'T LOOSE YOUR COMPASSIONATE EDGE (2)" '…Faith…if it does not have works, is dead.’  James 2:17 NKJV MOTHER TERESA said, ‘The biggest disease today isn’t leprosy or cancer. It’s the feeling of being uncared for, unwanted—of being deserted and alone.’ As a result, she spent her life rescuing sick babies and giving dignity to the dying. Asked why she did it, she replied, ‘Because Jesus did.’ What a great answer! When simultaneous disasters hit different countries around the world, humanitarian organisations say we suffer from ‘donor fatigue’. Let’s add one more: ‘compassion failure.’ Philosopher Miguel de Unamuno wrote, ‘Warmth, warmth, more warmth! For we are dying of cold and not of darkness. It is not the night that kills, but the frost.’ Think about this: of the 1,189 chapters in the Bible, 250 contain the words of the prophets. That’s roughly 25 percent. Half of what they say denounces sin and the other half condemns those who see human suffering and do nothing about it. Yet events that horrified those same prophets take place in our world every day, and we’re immune to them. Like wearing a watch, you get used to it and after a while you don’t even notice it. But the prophets noticed! They never became desensitised to sin—or human suffering. And you mustn’t either. You say, ‘But my main focus at the moment is on building up my faith.’ That’s a good thing; but never forget that ‘Faith by itself, if it does not have works [of compassion], is dead.’ Bible In A Year: Deut 3-4; Matt 12:1-14; Ps 46; Pro 16:20-22.

It may be that they had recorded successes in previous battles, or have become famous for their accomplishments. They may deem themselves to be invincible, and either declare a war that's totally unnecessary, or inject themselves into other people's battles. In the end, they become the victims of their ego and exaggerated sense of power and importance.* *This is what happened to the kings of the nations on the east of River Jordan. The children of Israel were on a journey ordered by the Almighty God. They were heading to the land of Canaan, in fulfilment of the promise God made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Their land was not part of Canaan, and therefore, was not intended to be inherited by the Israelites. The inheritance of the Israelites was to be solely Canaan, the land flowing with milk and honey. But on their way, the Israelites encountered nations that had heard about the supernatural work of God in bringing them out of Egypt. Although the Israelites did not declare war against them, these nations, some out of unfounded fear of losing their territory, and others out of envy and hatred against this nation that had a God that can subdue, humble and defeat Egypt, the great world power of the time, took it on themselves to stop Israel from progressing towards their land of promise. One of such kings was Sihon, king of the Amorites, whose nation was mainly a lush vegetation sandwiched by rivers and plain land that was a haven for pastoralists and for other forms of agriculture. The other king was Og, king of Bashan, a land of the remnants of the giants, with similar topography as the land of the Amorites. When they rose against the Israelites, they were roundly defeated, their kingdoms destroyed and their land confiscated by Moses. He subsequently allocated the land to two and half tribes of Israel, which desired to settle there because it was suitable for their vocation as pastoralists. Had those nations stayed out of the way of the Israelites, they would have remained in their land.* *We must be wise and not take on battles that are not ours, whether out of sympathy with other people or to prove that we are powerful. As believers, we have more than enough battles against principalities and powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, spiritual wickedness in high places, against sin and Satan. The armour Christ has given us is intended to defeat these adversaries. It is not to be wasted on self-imposed battles that do not benefit the kingdom of God. Those who engage in the wrong battles suffer great loss, and live to regret it for the rest of their lives. Let us focus on the assignment Christ has given us, namely, taking the gospel to the world of sinners, and endeavouring to bring as many as are willing, into the kingdom of God.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*Those who fight battles without profit, reap rewards without benefits.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *EXODUS 26-29*📜📜 [23/07, 10:32 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```FRIDAY 24TH JULY, 2026``` *DIVINE FRESHNESS* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️✨🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽🙌🏽 📜📜```TEXT:PSALM 1:1-6```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper" (PSALM 1:3).*_ *Freshness implies newness of life, originality, and the absence of weakness or death. It is always God's will that His creatures be strong, hale, and hearty. The reverse, however, is the case with many who live in continual weakness, pain, and disability.* *God provides the means of drawing from His life for energy. Still, instead of utilizing the provision, they resort to the use of hard drugs and destructive substances for strength and vitality.* *Our passage for today unveils simple steps for young people to enjoy God's divine freshness. One, they must abstain from the way, walk, and counsel of the wayward and wicked. Two, they should delight in, read and meditate daily on God's word.* *Three, they should appropriate the avalanche of God's blessings and prosperity through prayer and faith. Four, they should not meddle with the ungodly. Friend, the ungodly experience dryness instead of divine freshness.

Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good" (Psalm 53:1).*_ 📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖 An extract from _Merriam Webster_ dictionary goes thus: *"Something is said to be 'in full' when it has come to the highest or the fullest state of degree, when it is at the uttermost extent or when it is complete, especially in details, number, or duration."* The fool in full is the greatest fool that will ever live on earth. He breathes in the air made by God, cultivates the soil created by God, and eats out of the produce thereof, lives in the world God created and enjoys the gift of life given by God, to mention a few; and yet, turns around to say "there is no God." The fool deliberately denies the existence of God despite the many proofs of God's existence. He sees the sun, the moon, the stars, the seas and the uncountable creatures in it, but never pauses to ask: *"Who made the world?"* The things he sees tell him there is God, but in his heart, he refuses to give Him the glory. There is, however, another fool who accepts there is God but refuses to accept His gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. This category of fools claim they can worship the Living God the way they like. They corrupt the way of worshipping Him; worshipping idols, the work of their hands. The fool can never do what is good before God. *You should not be a fool. Believe in the only true God and in Jesus Christ, whom He has sent.

Some are penned down in the Bible while there are many more that have been experienced by individuals, families, communities and nations since creation of man. The fact that God is immutable guarantees that those miracles can be repeated and increased in greatness and number. One of the greatest ways to strengthen faith is to deliberately rehearse God's faithfulness and meditate on those past wonders of God. Throughout Scripture, God often instructed His people to remember His mighty acts so that they would trust Him for future victories. Israel's conquest of the Amorites under Sihon and the later record of those victories in Joshua remind us that God's past interventions are powerful testimonies of His unfailing covenant. Every believer should cultivate the habit of recalling God's goodness instead of dwelling on past fears or failures. As we recount His faithfulness, our confidence in His promises grows. *1.Arrogant Courting of Battles* Israel peacefully requested passage through the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, but Sihon arrogantly rejected the request and chose war instead (Numbers 21:21–25). It is the norm in military warfare that you don't fight those who come and prefer peace to war. The worst is to lead them as captives. Sihon had taken pride in defeating Moab and taking her possessions (Numbers 21:26-2). Their victory over Moab was celebrated as it became a song in the land. He was optimistic and emboldened that he could repeat the same feat against Israel. However, he was thoughtless and proud. His pride blinded him to the fact that he was fighting against God's covenant people. It is dangerous and risky to fight against the covenant people of God. The battle ended in complete defeat of Sihon because no human strength can prevail against God's purpose. b. Believers have the domineering power of Jesus Christ to crush every power of the adversaries. However, this is not a license for believers to arrogantly court and tempt the people of darkness to unnecessary warfare. When Herod wanted Jesus to perform some miracles for a show of power, Jesus declined because it was unnecessary (Luke 23:8). When Satan tempted Jesus to jump down from the mountain, Jesus also declined because it was an unnecessary show of power. Believers should avoid unnecessary boasting and fight in the name of the Lord that is borne out of arrogance or pride. Believers should never fear opposition, for God remains the Defender of those who trust Him. At the same time, we must guard against pride, remembering that arrogance always invites destruction. *Question* Am I trusting God's strength in life's battles, or am I relying on human confidence and pride? *2. Appreciative Counting of Blessings* Joshua carefully recorded the kings and their land, whom God had delivered into Israel's hands (Joshua 12:1–5). These verses are more than historical records—they are memorials of divine faithfulness. God's people are encouraged to remember every victory and every answered prayer. Gratitude protects the heart from discouragement and unbelief. When we regularly count our blessings, we discover that God's mercies greatly outweigh our trials. Thanksgiving also prepares us to receive greater blessings from the Lord. As the psalmist puts it, *"Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits."* This will take a diligent and deliberate effort like Joshua did when he wrote down and recalled the good wonders of God to himself and to the whole Israel. *Question* How often do I deliberately remember and thank God for His past faithfulness in my life? *3. Additions to Covenant for the Beloved* a. The conquered territories were not part of the promised Canaan inheritance. But Sihon and Og lost their land through their pride and arrogance and those blessings were taken from them and added to the children of Israel (Joshua 12:6). After getting victory, Moses assigned the conquered territory to the tribes of Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh as their inheritance. God's faithfulness extends beyond victory in battle to the fulfillment of His covenant promises. b. There are several cases where God took away the assigned blessing of the arrogant and added them to the portion of the godly. Reuben and Esau were supposed to have the double blessings of their first born, but they both lost them through carelessness and profanity. Their blessings were added to Judah and Jacob respectively. Jesus warned the Ephesian Church of loss of ministry if they didn't repent from the loss of their first love and the immoral practices of the Nicolaitans(Revelation 2:5). He also warned the Pastor of Philadelphia that if he was not watchful, his crown would be taken from him and be given or added to another person. *"Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown"* (Revelation 3:11). Remember, King Saul lost his crown, which was supposed to be generational, to David. The same with Esau and none of them could get his back. Fight and be watchful to retain and enjoy all your blessings and inheritance assigned to you by God. *Question* Am I very watchful and prayerful in ensuring that my blessings and inheritance are not taken from me and transferred to another person? *Prayer Points* 1.Heavenly Father, help me always remember and celebrate Your faithfulness in every season of my life 🙏. 2.Lord, deliver me from every form of pride, boasting and unnecessary show of power and grant me victory over every battle confronting my faith 🙏. 3.Give me a grateful heart that continually counts Your blessings instead of focusing on life's difficulties. 4.Give Your children grace to be watchful and prayerful and don't allow anyone to take their assigned blessings and inheritance 🙏. *HYMN:* Count Your Blessings *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* EXODUS 26-29. 2. Morning Prayer for today. MP.i. Morning Prayer A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. ⏤ Proverbs 16:9 To pray is to let go and let God take over. ⏤ Philip Yancey O God, our Father, we, Your children, wait for Your blessing before we go out to the work and care of this new day. We thank You for the blessings You gave us in our sleep. You have renewed our strength and restored what yesterday’s toil took from us. We are strong this morning and ready for another day’s work because of the blessings You gave us in our sleep. We consecrate our lives to You for this new day. Take us and use us as You will. We don’t want to make our own plans, for we are too short-sighted and would only plan for present comfort or earthly success. We would rather have You reveal Your plan for our day. It may not be easy, but we know it is wiser and better than our way could ever be, for You see the end from the beginning, and You choose the best things for us. We lay our plans at Your feet and ask You to use them if they are the best, but if not, to set them aside so that Your plan for the day may work unhindered in us. We pray for our neighbors. Some of them are sick. Remember them and grant them healing and restoration. Send them Your comfort in their pain, and let them be richly blessed by the experiences they are going through. Some of our neighbors have gone through sorrows. Heal their broken hearts and give them comfort that will make them stronger to bear their grief, and help them find the blessings You have hidden in their sorrow. Receive us now into Your care for this day; bless us, keep us, and use us as You will. We ask in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/19/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* MONDAY 31ST AUGUST, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* YOUTHS: VESSELS OF GOD’S GRACE. *TOPIC:* FUTURE ASSURED. *TEXT:* JEREMIAH 29:11-13. 11. For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12. Then you will call on Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart. *TOPIC:* FUTURE ASSURED. *THE MESSAGE:* While our parents may plan for our future, God's plan for us is always perfect in timing and direction. His plans are always good, filled with hope and purpose. When we align with His will and seek Him wholeheartedly, we can be confident of a secure and fulfilling future. Even in times of hardship or uncertainty, like the current killings and land grabbing, God is not absent. He may be shaping a brighter future for us, just as He did for the people of Judah. The message of this text reflects God's unchanging character towards His people. His plans are always for peace and restoration, not harm. When we seek Him sincerely and pray, He listens and reveals Himself to us. The wicked may flourish, but for a short time (Ps. 92:27). *REFLECTION:* Believe that God has an assured future for you. *PRAYER:* Lord, help me to seek You wholeheartedly. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* 2 TIMOTHY 2:21. "If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be instruments for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master, and prepared to do any good work." *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* DANIEL 7-12. ED.ii. USE WHATEVER YOU HAVE "The One (Jesus) who is in you is greater than the one (the evil one) who is in the world." - 1 John 4:4 David was a shepherd boy and used handling a sling. He was familiar with it. When he was dressed in Saul's armor, he knew that he could not fight in that. He was not familiar with such armor. He could handle his simple sling. With this he killed Goliath, and this was a huge victory. Shamgar was a simple farmer. He was familiar with working with an ox stick. He knew exactly how to handle it. So, he used what he was familiar with to defeat the enemy. Work with what you have You too must use what you are familiar with for the Lord's case. With this you will win the battle, because the Lord will be able to do miracles for you. Most work done in the Kingdom of God is done by simple people, who use what they have and start working with it. God does not need big things We do not need difficult things to enable God to perform great miracles. God does not need big things to do something big. You should not be afraid, but brave; you have to use what you have at hand and work with it. Be obedient and go to war with what you have. Fight the enemy. The enemy is great, and he is always against us, but what does that matter when God is on our side? Although it seems that we are not in the majority, with Jesus we are more than conquerors, because He who lives in us is more powerful than he who controls the world. We do not need to be afraid of the enemy, because if we use what we have, we will overcome with Jesus. https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light [are] both alike [to thee]. ⏤ Psalm 139:11-12 You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed. ⏤ S.D. Gordon Breathe upon us with Your breath of grace and love, our Father, and give us an evening blessing. Let our prayers rise before You as fragrant incense. Let Your peace be upon us. The shadows have deepened around us, but You are in the shadows, and we are safe. Darkness holds no danger when You are watching over us. Night is as day when . . . Your eye keeps watch on us, Your hand protects us, And Your arm embraces us. We go to our rest without fear or anxiety, for You are keeping us. Human arms, though their embrace is dear, are not strong. They cannot always hold us. Even the strongest of them must one day fall in the weakness of death. But Your arms are everlasting. Nothing can tear us from Your grasp. Nothing in the universe can separate us from Your love. No one can snatch us from the hand of our Savior. We bless You for Your love, for our security in it, and for the eternity of Your grace. Your promises are sure forever. We are as safe as if we were already in Heaven, for You are our God and Father, and we are Your redeemed children. Whatever sins we have committed today, please forgive. If we have harmed one of Your little ones, show us how we have done it so that we may seek to make it right. If we have lost our temper and spoken unadvisedly, impatiently, unkindly, or uncharitably, either to or about someone else, we ask for forgiveness. Take not Your Holy Spirit from us. Restore to us the joy of Your salvation. Grant us grace and teach us the better way, the more excellent way, the way of love. We want to show forth Your praise in all our lives. Bless us and enable us to manifest Jesus wherever we go. We ask all this in the name of Jesus our Redeemer. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/57/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.
