Good morning, brethren, and happy New Year 2026. 1. Morning devotional: 😀🎀💝🎁🌺🌹MORNING TEA. THE WORD FOR TODAY THURSDAY JANUARY 1, 2026. "GET TO KNOW GOD THIS YEAR " ‘Let him…boast…that he understands and knows Me.’ Jeremiah 9:24 NIV GOD SAYS: ‘Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows Me’ (vv. 23-24 NIV). The truth is, if you don’t know God it doesn’t matter how much money you have in your bank account, or what diplomas hang on your wall, or what position you hold in the company. Until you have a relationship with God, you haven’t really begun to live! And part of getting to know Him is learning the truth about yourself. After witnessing the miracle-working power of Christ, Peter5 acknowledged, ‘I am a sinful man!’ (Luke 5:8 NIV). When the prophet Isaiah saw the Lord sitting upon His throne, he cried, ‘Woe is me!’ (Isaiah 6:5 NKJV). But God doesn’t tell you the truth about yourself and then leave you that way. No, like a good doctor, He tells you you’re sick so that you can get the proper treatment. And the proper treatment for sin is salvation through the blood of Jesus. You will never know God until you are related to Him through Jesus Christ. So if you’ve never accepted Him as your Saviour, start this New Year by praying: ‘Lord, I repent and turn from my sin. I place my life in Your hands, trusting You as my Lord and Saviour. By faith I receive the gift of eternal life. Starting today, I ask You to lead and guide me and fulfil Your will through me. In Jesus’ name I pray: Amen.’ Happy New Year! Bible In A Year: Rom 13:12 – 14:19, John 1:1-14.

Morning prayer: Morning Prayer If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ⏤ 1 John 1:9 Forgiveness is the grace that draws us close, keeping us humble and pure. ⏤ F.B. Meyer Father, we confess that we have fallen short in many ways, and we ask for Your grace and mercy. You have promised in Your Word that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. So, we come to You now with confession, asking You to shine Your face upon us and grant us Your peace. You have kept us safe through the night, protecting us from all harm. We thank You and ask for more of Your blessings and grace today. Help us to make this day a beautiful and worthy one. May we complete every task, fulfill every duty, and do all things with love and care. Guide us in our interactions with others, making us gentle, thoughtful, charitable, and unselfish. Help us to be useful, comforting others in their pain, and bringing peace wherever we go. Give us patience and strength in all our trials and challenges. May we endure difficulties with calmness and grace. Let us pass through temptations unharmed, just as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego passed through the fiery furnace without being burned. May we live in this world without being harmed by it. May our love for You grow stronger every day, drawing us closer to You as we journey through life. Let the hope of Heaven lift our spirits and ennoble our lives. As we go into this day, help us serve You faithfully and truthfully. Breathe upon us and fill us with Your Spirit. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/89/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.
