Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *WELCOME TO JUNE, 2026.* *SUB-THEME:* EXAMPLES OF GOD'S AMAZING GRACE. *INTRODUCTION:* Praise God for His faithfulness in watching over us and bringing us to the middle of the year. Our focus for June is "EXAMPLES OF GOD'S AMAZING GRACE". This month, we will explore how God intervened in the lives of specific individuals, meeting them at their points of need and blessing them beyond their wildest imagination. God reaches out to men and women in love, bringing life even when not warranted. God pours His Grace on people for them to experience a personal and intimate relationship with Him in order for them to avoid eternal damnation. May we open ourselves to receive God's Grace for daily living. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* JOHN 1:16. "From the fulness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another." *DATE:* MONDAY 1ST JUNE, 2026 *TEXT:* JOHN 8:1-11. 1. but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2. At dawn He appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around Him, and He sat down to teach them. 3. The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4. and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do You say?” 6. They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with His finger. 7. When they kept on questioning Him, He straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8. Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10. Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11. “No one, Sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.” *TOPIC:* THE ADULTEROUS WOMAN. *THE MESSAGE:* According to the law, both parties to adultery should be stoned to death (Lev. 20:10; Deut. 22:22). In our text, the Jewish leaders brought a woman to Jesus whom they said was caught in the act of adultery, but with an ill motive to entrap Jesus. Why did they not present the man with whom she was committing the act? Jesus asked them that the one without sin should throw the first stone. They all left one after the other since none of them was sinless. Unlike her accusers, Jesus acted graciously. He did not condemn her; instead, He forgave her, set her free, and urged her to sin no more. Are you stuck in any sin? Jesus is always gracious, offering forgiveness and deliverance to those who repent. Repent and be set free today. *REFLECTION:* Jesus took the violence for you and me. *PRAYER:* Thank You Lord, for identifying with me. Amen. *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* PSALM 1-6. ED.ii.

How we all would hope to be like this wise, trustworthy, and dedicated steward. He is to provide spiritual food and nourishment to those entrusted into his care: “Feed my lambs…” John 21:15 He is to feed the little flock, given into His charge with the whole council of God. “Feed my sheep…” John 21:16. He is to give his fellow-servants their portion of food in due season. “Feed my sheep…” John 21:17 A Blessed Servant How blessed is this faithful, trustworthy, dedicated servant of the Lord. The Lord Himself tells us: “Blessed is that servant, whom his Lord, when he comes shall find so doing” Luke 12:43. How illuminating it is to reflect on the words of the apostle in Luke 12. Peter asks the Master if He is speaking to the disciples, or the unsaved: “Lord, are you speaking in this parable to us, or to everyone?” Luke 12:41 Consequences of Worldliness Only a few verses earlier Christ warned them of the consequences of worldliness – chiding them for their worldly outlook and prompting them to, “lay up treasure in heaven….” for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” Luke 21:34 Christian Preparedness Jesus then gives a clear outline of what wise Christian preparedness is. He is the faithful servant – the trustworthy servant that feeds the household of God. He’s the wise steward –who gently nurtures and tends for the little flock in his care. He is the one that feeds the Lord’s lambs and tends the Lord’s sheep. What an incredible privilege and what an awesome and formidable responsibility. Necessary Warnings Taking care of the household of the Lord is vital in these last days. The family or God needs to be fed, cared for, encouraged, uplifted, edified, yet the family of God also needs to be warned.. Whatever the situation in your life and whatever the conditions in mine. We would do well to recognise the favour and duty laid on our shoulders. Little Flock Each of us have a little flock, whom the Lord has entrusted into our care. It may be one tiny little lamb or perhaps a flock of wandering sheep! But each of us have been called upon to tend some part of the masters vineyard. And most have been entrusted into the care of an under-shepherd’ Christ being the Chief Shepherd as well as being our Good, Great Shepherd Burden of Responsibility May we each carry out our burden of responsibility as wise and faithful servants. May we each recognise the strain of the task laid on the one who cares for us: “Blessed is that servant, whom his Lord when He cometh shall find so doing. Of a truth I say unto you, that He will make him ruler over all that he hath.” Matthew 24:46 Post navigation Previous Post Previous Where Is Your Treasure? Proudly powered by WordPress. 2. Evening Prayer fordtoday. EP.i. Evening Prayer If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light [are] both alike [to thee]. ⏤ Psalm 139:11-12 You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed. ⏤ S.D. Gordon Breathe upon us with Your breath of grace and love, our Father, and give us an evening blessing. Let our prayers rise before You as fragrant incense. Let Your peace be upon us. The shadows have deepened around us, but You are in the shadows, and we are safe. Darkness holds no danger when You are watching over us. Night is as day when . . . Your eye keeps watch on us, Your hand protects us, And Your arm embraces us. We go to our rest without fear or anxiety, for You are keeping us. Human arms, though their embrace is dear, are not strong. They cannot always hold us. Even the strongest of them must one day fall in the weakness of death. But Your arms are everlasting. Nothing can tear us from Your grasp. Nothing in the universe can separate us from Your love. No one can snatch us from the hand of our Savior. We bless You for Your love, for our security in it, and for the eternity of Your grace. Your promises are sure forever. We are as safe as if we were already in Heaven, for You are our God and Father, and we are Your redeemed children. Whatever sins we have committed today, please forgive. If we have harmed one of Your little ones, show us how we have done it so that we may seek to make it right. If we have lost our temper and spoken unadvisedly, impatiently, unkindly, or uncharitably, either to or about someone else, we ask for forgiveness. Take not Your Holy Spirit from us. Restore to us the joy of Your salvation. Grant us grace and teach us the better way, the more excellent way, the way of love. We want to show forth Your praise in all our lives. Bless us and enable us to manifest Jesus wherever we go. We ask all this in the name of Jesus our Redeemer. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/57/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion. Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* SUNDAY 31ST MAY, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* RESPONSE TO GRACE. *TOPIC:* PRAISE. *TEXT:* PSALM 145:1-3. 1 I will speak highly of You, my God and King, and I will bless Your name forever and ever. 2 I will bless You every day and I will praise Your name forever and ever. 3 The LORD is great, and to be praised highly, though His greatness is indescribable. Job 5:9 Psa 18:3 Psa 150:2 *TOPIC:* PRAISE. *THE MESSAGE:* Praise is simply lifting God. It expresses admiration and thanks. Everyone who has received grace must learn to praise God daily. Today's text emphasises God's majesty, the believer's response, and the boundless nature of divine greatness. David commits himself to extol and bless God always. This expresses reverence and a lifelong devotion rooted in a relationship. God's greatness transcends human understanding, inviting perpetual awe and praise. Indeed, God is love, just, faithful, and full of mercy. Such testimonies encourage others to trust and praise God. How often do you express gratitude to God for His goodness in your life? Do not allow life challenges to deter you from giving God praise. Make praise an ethos of your life! *REFLECTION:* Praise the Lord even amid trouble. *PRAYER:* I praise You Lord, for Your abounding grace in my life. 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:* JOB 40-42. ED.ii. Skip to content Dalily Devotional by Elizabeth Haworth Posted onMay 31, 2026 by Editor Where Is Your Treasure? Christian Applications Store:: Christian devotional App Store; Explore Recommended Christian Books and Devotionals For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:20 Practical Preparation What a lot of practical commands there are in the Bible concerning preparation. How often are we warned of the foolish consequences of ignoring them.. yet how many of us really heed such cautions? How many of us truly obey His Word? “Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven… we are warned where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:20 Heavenly Home This is not an airy-fairy tales of princesses and peas – or dungeons and dragons. This is no cute little bed-time fantasy to escape from the drudge of a hard life. This is the reality of God’s plans and purposes for each blood-bought child of His. Heaven and its wonders will still be rich and glorious in the future ages to come. Heaven will still be a fact when this world has slipped into a distant bygone age, And we are charged to store up treasure in the world to come – our heavenly home, and if we comply with this directive, we will be blessed both here and there. Man’s Mind But what does it mean to store up treasure? Should we give everything away, like the rich young ruler was instructed? Should we eat husks; sleep under cardboard; retire to a cave? – I doubt i, But God does desire an undivided heart.. and He does know the evil intent of man’s mind. Divided Heart God knows that your possessions; your home; your bank balance can become your god. He knows that in a divided heart, (mammon and God) cannot reign together, and mammon is so much more than money – much more than dollars or pounds. Mammon is the whole realm of riches, possessions, property and commerce.. and God knows if our eye is not single – for God knows the inner heart. His Light But if our eyes are on Him, our vision is unimpaired and we walk in His Light: and if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 1John 1:7 Our Choice Treasure is not to do with whether we have much or whether we have little. It is not to do with whether we have goods or money; houses, career or position. It is whether we have become so attached to them they we prefer them to Him. It is a choice between the two – for only one can rule your heart and life. Master or Friend So what does it mean to make friends with mammon? Why in Luke 16, are we instructed to: “make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon” Luke 16:9 Does this not contradict scriptures, which warn us against the love of money? No, it does not contradict scripture, but is does have an important meaning. God has entrusted us with many things, one of which is our money – mammon. Mammon is not to be our master – but we are to master our goods and wealth. Wise Servant The world is shrewd in the way it conducts itself – and we must be shrewd too, but they are shrewd in an ungodly way and make mammon their god. We too must be shrewd with all we have by dealing with it a godly way. We are to act wisely with all that has been entrusted to us. God translates faithfulness into a faithful and wise servant in His service. He is watching to see if we are faithful and wise in all that He has entrusted to us… waiting to see if we fall into the category of a divided heart – waiting to see if He is all in all. Warning Words It is only when a crisis arrives in our lives that our true attachments surface. It’s only when we truly recognise our position in Him that we can remain undivided. This world is not our final resting place – we are sojourners, passing through, and these little warning words against a divided heart have a deeper meaning. They are unmistakably linked to the any-day return of our Lord Jesus for His own. Seek Him First We are entreated in all things to have our hearts set upon Him. We are implored to, seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; for if we do: all the things we need shall be added unto us. But life from start to finish is made up of many choices. We can choose the good or we can choose the evil – but we cannot have both. We cannot serve God AND mammon – the choice is God OR mammon. A Single Heart Do you remember Lot’s wife? – Do you remember what she did as she fled the wrath to come? She looked back – all she had built up over the years was back in Sodom, and she couldn’t bear to let it go. She compromised the grace that was afforded her – in the day of her crisis. Her actions and attitudes demonstrate the realities of a divided heart. She had not come to terms with true singleness of heart. Treasure in Heaven How important singleness of vision and an undivided heart is in this day of crisis – whosoever shall gain His life shall lose it.. but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall gain it. “store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, we are warned where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:19 Post navigation Previous Post Previous Guard Your Heart Proudly powered by WordPress. 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it. ⏤ Isaiah 55:11 It is possible to move men, through God, by prayer alone. ⏤ Hudson Taylor We come back this evening, our Father, to continue our prayer for the coming of Your kingdom. The day is past, and the work of Your servants is done. Thousands of ministers have preached Your word, tens of thousands of teachers have taught the children, and in millions of Christian homes, supplications and prayers have been offered. Let not all this work be in vain. May Your Spirit gather up all that has been done for You today and give it Your divine blessing, without which nothing can come of it. Revive Your work in this land and in the world through this Sunday's ministrations. May many of Your children carry new earnestness and zeal into their living and work tomorrow. May the seeds sown in the furrows today take root and grow. Let not the birds gather up and devour what has been sown. Let not the thorns spring up and choke it. Let not the heat of trials scorch the tender growths. May the good seed grow wherever it has been sown, and may abundant harvests wave on thousands of fields. Prosper Your work on the earth. May Your peace rest upon our home tonight. May the gentle Dove descend and spread His white wings over us, sheltering us while we sleep. May holy influences rest upon us from this Sunday, and may its teachings and impressions stay with us throughout the week. Keep each of us from the world's ungodly power. Hold us all near Your heart, in the warmth of Your love, in the strong security of Your grace. May the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God our Father, and the comfort of the Holy Spirit be with us forever. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/56/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.
