Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* THURSDAY, 12TH FEBRUARY, 2026 *SUB-THEME:* THE NATURE OF GOD'S GRACE *TOPIC:* PROPELS SOUL WINNING *TEXT:* ROMANS 1:1-6 1. Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God— 2. the gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures 3. regarding His Son, who as to His earthly life was a descendant of David, 4. and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. 5. Through Him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for His name’s sake. 6. And you also are among those Gentiles who are called to belong to Jesus Christ. *TOPIC:* PROPELS SOUL WINNING *THE MESSAGE:* Paul states that the purpose of his apostleship is to bring about the obedience to faith among all nations. The mention of "all nations" signifies the universal scope of the Gospel. This call to mission is vital for the Church's growth, urging us to be active participants in sharing grace and spreading the message of Christ to all people. As a child of God, are you obeying the Father's command? Many Christians, as well as some church workers do not engage in soul-winning. Do not be like that. Make it a point of duty to share the Gospel with someone. Do not just be a distant preacher while souls around you are perishing. You can also maximise technology to propagate the Gospel. Take action today! *REFLECTION:* You are called to win souls. *PRAYER:* Father, help me as I share the Gospel. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* ISAIAH 26:10 "Though grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness; even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil and regard not the majesty of the Lord". *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* NUMBERS 5-8. ii. ICHABOD "She named the boy Ichabod, saying: 'The Glory has departed from Israel." - 1 Samuel 4:21 We read in 1 Samuel 4 about Israel fighting with their worst enemy, the Philistines. Israel suffered a defeat. The elders of Israel then came up with the idea to take the ark of the Lord from Silo into battle. When the ark arrived at the camp, the Israelites started to cheer. The enemies were frightened and said: 'The God of Israel, that same mighty God who struck the Egyptians with plagues, is in their midst.' The honor lost The Israelites expected to win the battle because God was where the ark was. However, the ark - the honor and glory of Israel - was conquered. What a disaster! Our country, the Netherlands with its Christian foundation, has also lost its honor. Our Christian foundation is torn into pieces. The ark of the old covenant was the image of Jesus Christ. For years, people have been dethroning the Lord Jesus Christ in many nations. When the wife of Pinechas heard that not only her husband, brother-in-law and the high priest Eli had died, but also the ark of the Lord had been captured, she was overcome by contractions and gave birth to a son. Before she died, she called him Ichabod: the honor has departed from Israel. Is Jesus the center of your life? Today I have a question for you: What about you? Is the ark of the Lord - Jesus Christ - in your life? Is He the center of your life? Are the glory and power of God in you? Or have they been captured? Have you lost Him? Have you changed? God says: 'Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever' (Hebrews 13:8). We have changed, the Church has changed. People lost the battle in Israel because of their sins. It is because of sin that the glory has disappeared from the Netherlands. Yet we see a desire; a desire for the glory to return in the Netherlands. Do you also have this desire for your nation? The Christian values and beliefs are good for everybody. 'If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face… then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land' (2 Chronicles 7:14). https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. i. Evening Prayer 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 The best remedy for a troubled heart is to focus on God’s unchanging character. ⏤ Charles Stanley O Lord, we bow before You in loving reverence. All our blessings come from You, and we praise You. We are sinful, and You are holy. We are not worthy to approach You, yet You have made a way for us to draw near to You with confidence, as children to a Father. Lord, cleanse our hearts as we come to You. Fill us with Your Spirit so that, renewed in the spirit of our minds, we may display all the virtues and graces of the Christian life in our daily walk. We need Your cleansing tonight after the day's journey in this sin-stained world. Our feet have been soiled in the dust as we walked through the day, our hands have been stained with the evil around us, our lips have spoken words we should not have spoken, and our hearts have been made unclean by wrong thoughts, feelings, and imaginations. Cleanse us tonight. Wash us, and we shall be whiter than snow! We have cares and worries that distract us at the end of the day. Help us to lay them all in Your hands and leave them there. Give us Your peace. Help us to cast our burdens on You and trust that You will take care of them. Make all things work together for our good. Have pity tonight, O God, on this sorrowful, sinful world. Remember the poor and open the hearts of those who have plenty to help those in need. Look with compassion on the sick and give them relief or the patience to endure their pain. Comfort those who are in sorrow. Hear us in these evening prayers, we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/39/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.
