Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🌺🌹🎁🎀💝 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. WEDNESDAY APRIL 29, 2026. "JESUS CAN HEAL YOU". 'Jesus saw her...and said, "Dear woman, you are healed of your sickness!" Luke 13:12 NLT THE BIBLE says: 'As Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, he saw a woman who had been …bent double for eighteen years and was unable to stand up straight… He called her over and said, “Dear woman, you are healed”…Then He touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. How she praised God! But the leader in charge of the synagogue was indignant that Jesus had healed her on the Sabbath day’ (vv. 10-14 NLT). Notice three things about this woman: 1) She had a long-term problem. It was a visible condition everyone could see. But many of the people we meet have problems within: situations they’ve wrestled with for years; issues so painful that it causes them to ‘act out’ what’s going on inside them. They need to be handled with care and compassion. 2) No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t straighten up. She had a burden that nobody but Jesus could lift, and she would never be free until He did so. Can you relate? Are you trying to medicate your pain through tireless work, wrong relationships, or mood-altering substances? Have you become so used to your problem that even when you’ve a chance to be delivered, you won’t let it go; it’s like your security blanket? Jesus will set you free if you turn to Him! 3) What she needed was a touch from Jesus. The church she went to couldn’t help her. The pastor actually condemned Jesus for healing her on the Sabbath. Away with powerless religion that has no answers! Today turn to Jesus, by Whose stripes we are healed, within and without. Bible In A Year: Num 14-15, Ps 37:1-7, Pro 11:1-2.

IS THERE A SAFE SHELTER? "By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family." - Hebrews 11:7 The only reason Noah was saved from death is because he believed what God said about a flood and the ark (a boat) he had to build. How are we saved? The same way as Noah was saved. We must also believe what God says in His Word: Jesus Christ, His Son, is the only One who can save us from the coming judgment. The flood was an image of this. Jesus Christ is the ark who is able to save us. The plan to save Noah through an ark came from God Himself. 'Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God… So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out' (Genesis 6:9,14). We clearly read here that this plan was not a human thought. The plan to save us and secure us in the ark Jesus Christ also comes from God, from Him alone. He is a wonderful and loving God. He wants to protect those who walk righteously before Him in bad times. It is the great grace of God that He wants to save us from judgment. All we have to do is: 1) regret our sins; 2) repent and obey God; 3) believe in the truth of the gospel that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sins. The people at that time thought Noah was crazy. He was mocked and laughed at. Noah was saved by believing the Word of God about things not seen yet. In the same way we, based on the Word of God, must believe the Lord Jesus and accept Him as our Savior. https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. MP.i. Morning Prayer For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. ⏤ Romans 8:15 The greatest privilege of prayer is not what you can get from God, but simply to be with God. ⏤ A.W. Tozer It is a great comfort, our Father, to always be able to come to You with our needs. It is reassuring to know that You are truly our Father. We understand something of what fatherhood means to a child, and it is wonderful to know that You are our divine Father, not just in name, but in all that a father can be to a child—You are to us, and even more, as Your divinity is greater than humanity. Help us to know You as our Father, to trust in Your fatherly love for us, and in Your fatherly care. Grant us the spirit of being Your children, the spirit of adoption, that we may look up to You and say, "Abba, Father!" May we be obedient children, doing all that You ask us to do. May we honor You as children are taught to honor their parents. May our commitment and our actions be worthy of You. Let us never do anything that would bring dishonor to You. May Your image be reflected in our lives so clearly and brightly that everyone who sees us will see Your divine fatherly qualities shining through us. Today, as we go out into the world, we ask that we may indeed go as Your children. We will need Your protection. The world is full of dangers, subtle enemies, insidious influences, and crafty evils. We cannot take care of ourselves—so we ask You to take care of us. Hide us away in the secret of Your presence, from the strife of tongues. We will need Your sustaining grace for every step of the way—grace upon grace. Just as the flowers cannot live without Heaven's dew, rain, and sunshine—so neither can we live without Your love and strength. Fill us with Your Spirit. Pour Your love into our hearts. Then we will be able to live lives worthy of Your children. We ask all this in Jesus' precious name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/24/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion. Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* TUESDAY 28TH APRIL, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* THE CROSS: CULMINATION OF GRACE. *TOPIC:* THE COST OF OUR SALVATION. *TEXT:* ROMANS 5:8-11. 8. But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9. Since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through Him! 10. For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life! 11. Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. *TOPIC:* THE COST OF OUR SALVATION. *THE MESSAGE:* Grace is a gift of immeasurable worth that is freely given yet paid for at the highest cost. This divine grace was displayed on the Cross when Jesus gave us His life willingly. He did not wait for us to become righteous or worthy; instead, He died for us while we were still sinners (1 Jn. 49-10). Our salvation cost Him His life. He was beaten, crushed, pierced, mocked, betrayed, deserted, and spat upon. He endured all manner of maltreatment to save us. Painful enough, some believers do not appreciate the extent Jesus went through to save them. As regents of Christ on earth, be ready to face the same humiliation and suffering Jesus went through. Beloved, do not ignore the author of your salvation because He will keep you going in the faith. *REFLECTION:* It cost Christ His life to save you. *PRAYER:* Father, thank You for saving me. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* COLOSSIANS 2:15. "And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross." *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* 2 CHRONICLES 26-28. ED.ii.

His are the thousand sparkling rills That from a thousand fountains burst, And fill with music all the hills; And yet He saith, I thirst. All fiery pangs on battlefields; On fever beds where sick men toss, And in that human cry He yields To anguish on the cross. But more than pains that racked Him then, Was the deep longing thirst divine That thirsted for the souls of men: Dear Lord! and one was mine. O love most patient, give me grace; Make all my soul athirst for Thee; That parched dry lip, that fading face, That thirst, were all for me. Deep Love How deep our Saviours love for me, how cavernous His thirst for you. The Lord breathed out His life-breath after His final joyous shout:- it is finished, for every jot and tittle of the law had been fulfilled when Christ pleaded:- I thirst. Eternal Victory Every painful step had the goal of His calling in view – the salvation of man. Every moment of His life had been a journey to His final and eternal victory. Sins were forgiven, the power of sin and death broken and Satan was defeated – so that all that believe on Him would not perish but have eternal life. Thirsty Love So many simply look on His thirst at Calvary as a purely bodily need, yet each scene and every word preceding His death contains a depth of meaning. He thirsted for more than soothing water to refresh His pain-racked body. He thirsted for the very souls of sinful men to bring them into union with Himself. His thirsty love yearns so deeply that it stretches throughout eternity – for it is His desire that all should come to repentance and life, in Him. Oswald Saunders: Oswald Saunders put it this way when He wrote: Did He not thirst to be thirsted after? He is still athirst for the fellowship and devotion of those for whom He thirsted on the cross. His was a thirst that could assuage the thirst of the whole world. “I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink,” He said to His surprised listeners. ‘Lord, when saw we Thee athirst and gave Thee drink?” they replied in amazement. “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me. Deep Yearning We can still hold the cup to His lips by going to those who are needy and ministering His name. Sin separates all from God and Christ’s sacrifice is the only way to reconciliation, Jesus Christ yearns after us with a depth of love that we do not understand – yet we have been commissioned to love as He loves – to thirst as He thirsts. But before we can satisfy the need of others, we must first yearn for Him. Before we can satisfy the thirst of others, we must first thirst for Him. O love most patient, give me grace; Make all my soul athirst for Thee. Post navigation Previous Post Previous Father Forgive Proudly powered by WordPress. 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose. ⏤ Romans 8:28 In God's economy, nothing is ever wasted. ⏤ Oswald Chambers We lift up our hearts to You, O God, at this evening hour. We are grateful for the mercies and blessings of the day. You have kept us from harm. You have provided for our needs, giving us our daily bread and supplying all our necessities. You have prospered us in our work and helped us in our tasks. We haven't had our way in everything. Some things we desired, we didn't receive. Some plans we weren’t able to carry out. Some hopes we had in the morning weren't realized. We had to take up our cross at times and deny ourselves. But we believe that these difficult things were just as much a part of Your loving plan for us as the things that were pleasant and agreeable. All Your ways are mercy and truth. Whatever form Your will takes, we know it is goodness and love. So we accept the hard things that came to us today with the same confidence and trust as the pleasant things. Help us to say cheerfully and with unwavering faith, "May Your will be done," and may we receive the blessing You have hidden in the painful things. We leave this day in Your hands now. We will never see it again until we meet it when the books are opened before Your great white throne. We can change nothing we have done. We can’t unsay unkind words we’ve spoken. We can’t correct mistakes, recall unkindness, or take back any evil influence we've put into the world. We can only leave the day with You. You are merciful and gracious. Have compassion on us. Deal gently with the day that is now out of our hands, for Jesus' sake. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/23/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.
