Good evening, brethren. 1.Evening devotional for today. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* THURSDAY, 22ND JANUARY, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* THE AMAZING GRACE OF GOD. *TOPIC:* ADOPTION. *TEXTS:* 1 JOHN 3:1-3, ROMANS 8:15. *1 JOHN 3:1-3,* 1 Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. Joh 1:12 [Rom 8:18] 2 Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is. Isa 56:5 Mat 5:12 Joh 1:12 Rom 8:15 Rom 8:18 2Co 4:17 Gal 3:26 Gal 4:6 Phi 3:21 Col 3:4 [Mat 22:30] [Mar 12:25] [Luk 20:36] [1Jn 2:28] 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as Christ is pure. *ROMANS 8:15.* 15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery that leads you into fear again. Instead, you have received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba! Father!” Isa 56:5 1Co 2:12 Gal 3:26 Gal 4:5-6 2Ti 1:7 [Joh 1:12] [Gal 4:6] [Eph 1:13] [Heb 2:15] [2Pe 1:4] [1Jn 3:2] *TOPIC:* ADOPTION. *THE MESSAGE:* The two texts explained God's grace and the nature of our relationship with Him. We were once alienated from the commonwealth of Israel but now through Christ, God has adopted us as His children. John reflects on this incredible love of God in calling us His children. Adoption into God's family is not based on anything we have done but purely by His grace. Now that we are part of God's family, we have both security and a sense of belonging. As a bonafide child of God, do not live with the mentality of an alien in your father's house because you are entitled to the privileges that an heir has. You are also responsible to guard jealously the integrity of the family. Therefore, have confidence in approaching the Father and exhibit the qualities that will not jeopardize your identity. *REFLECTION:* Live like a child of Grace. *PRAYER:* Father, thank You for adopting me into Your family. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* EPHESIANS 2:8-9. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast." *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* EXODUS 11-12. 2. Evening Prayer for today. Evening Prayer Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge, [even] the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. ⏤ Psalm 91:9-10 In the darkest times, we can rest knowing that God is our refuge and fortress. ⏤ Charles Spurgeon As the day ends, we come to You, Father, to hide ourselves away for the night in the secret place of the Most High, and to rest through the darkness under the shadow of the Almighty. O God, You are our refuge and fortress, our God in whom we trust. You will deliver us from the traps of the enemy and from deadly dangers. You will cover us with Your wings, and under Your wings of love, we will find refuge. Your truth will be our shield and protection. We won’t be afraid of the terror of the night, or the arrows that fly by day, or the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, or the destruction that strikes at noon. None of these dangers can harm us. Even if a thousand fall at our side and ten thousand at our right hand, the peril won’t come near us. You, Lord, are our refuge. Because we have made You, O Most High, our home, no evil will come upon us, no plague will come near our dwelling. You will command Your angels concerning us, to guard us in all our ways. They will lift us up in their hands, so we won’t even strike our foot against a stone. We will tread on the lion and the cobra without harm; we will trample the great lion and the serpent underfoot. Because we have set our love on You, You will deliver us from all danger. You will be with us in trouble; You will deliver us and honor us. With long life, You will satisfy us and show us Your salvation. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/18/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.
