Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* SUNDAY 3RD MAY, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* RESPONSE TO GRACE. *TOPIC:* HUMILITY. *TEXTS:* MICAH 6:8; 1 PETER 5:5-6. *MICAH 6:8.* 8. He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. *1 PETER 5:5-6.* 5. In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” 6. Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. *TOPIC:* HUMILITY. *THE MESSAGE:* Anyone who has truly experienced and understood God's grace will not be puffed up with pride. He will walk humbly before God and men, irrespective of their age and social standing in life. No one who has truly encountered Christ will boast of any accomplishment. They know well that all they are and have is of the Lord. Remember, without Christ, you can do nothing! Humility will prompt you to consider others and be gentle with them in their difficult situations. You must serve others, even the undeserving, as Jesus did. Have you tasted God's grace? Then walk humbly lest you fall. A humble person is teachable, listens to others' opinions, admits when he is wrong and takes correction. *REFLECTION:* A humble person does not crave attention. *PRAYER:* Lord, help me to walk humbly before You. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* TITUS 2:12. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age. *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* EZRA 5-6. ED.ii.

What an unfathomable mystery. All who are in Christ are expected to live their lives as His life living in them. In the prayer He prayed just before Calvary, Christ prayed to the Father: The glory You gave Me I have given them… that they may be one just as We are one. John 17:22 Body of Christ In this body, Christ has a counterpart that is to compliment and complete Him! What is true of the Head is to be true of the body and we are the body of Christ! We are complete in Him Who is the Head of all principality and power. The church of Christ has been born out of God and are sent out from God. Each have a spiritual revelation which has come from the Father. Mystery of Grace Christ spoke only what His Father said and we must only speak the words from Him, Christ did His earthly work through the Father and we must do our work through Him, Christ had a zeal for His Father’s house and kingdom and so must we who are His body. In the life we live, all things are out of God – all things come from Him. What a glorious mystery of grace – what mysterious grace and glory. Work of God A band of timid and fearful men who all forsook their Lord, denied Him and fled.. became a most powerful group of fearless spiritual warriors – the most powerful group of fearless spiritual warriors the world has ever seen. This was the work of God. This was the result of the Spirit coming in power. This is what was meant when we read, they were all baptized by one Spirit… For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body— whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free— and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.” 1Cor.12:13 Baptised into Christ And Christ is the head of that body into which all believers are ‘baptized.’ And the ‘body’ are those that are born from above – born out of God. The disciples had no action-plan that was independent of Christ. They had no board-meetings to decide strategy – no self-laid plans; no schemes. They had no pre-planned programme or enterprise – no undertaking to follow.. except as they were taught but the Word of truth – the Lord Who is their head – except as they were led of the Holy Ghost.. incorporated into Christ, the Head… Christ the Head As the Son looked to the Father – so the body must look to the Son. As Christ abode in the bosom of the Father – we too must abide in Christ. It is the head that does the thinking – not the arm or toe; not the eye or ear. Never be led to act or react from your own natural being – your own self-life. Wait, pray and permit the judgments of the Spirit to lead and to guide in all things. Power of the Spirit Our own emotional leanings or reasoning power can devastate God’s best. In His grace and mercy He rescues our foolish folly but we pay the consequence. Yes all things work together for good…. but lets not lose His best will for our lives. Today so much Christian work is expended in our own time, energy and way.. but unless effected by the power of the Spirit – it is pretty ineffective. Position of Christ The real work of God is measured by the position of Christ in a believer’s heart. Fires of judgment, loosed on the works of the kingdom will test effectiveness, If gold, silver and precious stones are not revealed – there will be a sad pile ashes. We may be acclaimed and honoured by man for our great and good works – but unless implemented from Christ, such acts of His body produce nothing.. for the works of the flesh will profit nothing. Remember – it is not what is done for Him, that is important. It is what is done by Him through the believer, as he remains in Christ.. Remain in Christ Day by day the most important work a believer can do is to remain in Him. Moment by moment we must be sure we have been incorporated into Christ.. born out of God and are sent out from God – Thy will not mine be done.. To remain in Him and He in us in every step of life – from this point forward.. speaking only the words out from Christ – ‘til I am nothing and He is everything.. Working only the works of God that He has prepared for us through Him. Like Him, to maintain zeal for His Father’s House and Kingdom – Thy Kingdom come on earth… the Millennial kingdom rule of Christ… By My Spirit We are the body of Christ, Who is the Head and His ways are unfathomable. But what a glorious mystery of grace. What mysterious grace and glory. Not by might – nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord.

Evening Prayer There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. ⏤ Hebrews 4:9 The sabbath is the day we go to the mountain to see God’s creation. ⏤ Eugene Peterson May Your peace be upon us, our Father, this sweet Sunday evening. The day has been like a quiet oasis in the wilderness of the world. We have enjoyed its restfulness. We have sat under Your shadow with great delight. We have drunk from the springs of water that flow from under Your throne. Bless to us all the enjoyments and privileges of this Sunday. May we be better able to work because of the strength we have received while waiting on You. Give us now our evening blessing. We long to know You more deeply. Somehow, we do not know You as well as we desire to. We cannot see You with our physical eyes, feel Your touch, or hear Your voice, and we don’t always realize Your closeness to us. Help us to know You better. Reveal Yourself to us in Your word as we read it. May Your Spirit make You known to us. Make us more aware of Your love for us. May we receive more spiritual life into our souls. Give us a deeper measure of Your joy, peace, and love. May Jesus be in us, and may we be filled with all Your fullness. We wait at Your feet this evening, asking that our lives be filled with Your grace. We want to be like You, Lord Jesus, and we can only become like You through Your transforming presence in our lives. We hunger and thirst for righteousness, to have our characters made holy and good like Yours. You have promised to satisfy those who have this longing. Fill us and satisfy our cravings. May we go into the new week full of Jesus, and thus be prepared to bless many. We wait now for Your blessing. We ask in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/28/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.
