Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🌹🎀🎁💝🌺MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. TUESDAY JUNE 9, 2026. "SERVING REQUIRES HUMILITY" 'Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.’   Philippians 2:5 KJV PAUL WRITES : ‘You must have the same attitude that…Jesus had. Though He was God, He did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, He gave up His divine privileges…took the…position of a slave…humbled Himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on the cross. Therefore, God elevated Him to the place of highest honour and gave Him the name above all other names…’ (vv. 5-9 NLT). Being a celebrity often means we expect others to serve us, but being a Christ follower means we are called to serve others. There’s a big difference, isn’t there? Christ modeled servant-hood before His disciples. On the social totem pole, the lowest servant in the house washed feet. Try to picture God washing the feet of common fishermen, then saying, ‘As I have served you, now go and serve one another?’ Download that picture the next time you view somebody as a burden, or beneath you, or an obstacle to your success. You’ll never serve as Christ served if your focus is on building your own image. ‘Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands and that He had come from God and was going to God …began to wash the disciples’ feet’ (John 13:3-5 NKJV). Jesus had settled three big issues: 1) He knew Who sent Him. 2) He knew Who sustained Him. 3) He knew Who was going to reward Him. Therefore He was liberated from the fear of people, the fear of failure and the fear of rejection. J L Massed said it so well: ‘Service can never become slavery to the one who loves.’ Bible In A Year: Lev 23:15-22; Acts 2:1-18.

WHERE CAN WE BE SAFE? "Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty." - Psalm 91:1 Many people around the world are looking for security and warmth today. They look for a place where they can hide, a place where they will not be affected by disaster, misery, hatred, jealousy or anger. I am happy that the Bible teaches us that God is our Refuge and that today Jesus is our Shelter where we are safe. Jesus promised in Matthew 28:20: 'And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.' The Bible teaches that we can hide with Jesus when we hear about horrible happenings such as floods, earthquakes, famines, wars, etc. Our life is with Him; whether dead or alive we are safe with Him. It is in Jesus Christ that we can have peace in our hearts. His love dispels every fear from our hearts. Can you say for sure that your life is safe with God? Jesus tells us in Luke 21:5-38 about the things to happen just before He returns to gather all those who believe in Him. Jesus says in the verses 25-28: 'There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.' Make sure you know today where you are going to when you pass away. Do not miss that wonderful place prepared for us, as we read in Revelation 21:4: 'He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.' Amen! https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Morning Prayer for today. MP.i. Evening Prayer Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. ⏤ Psalm 121:4 Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire, unuttered or expressed. ⏤ James Montgomery O Lord, we humbly beseech You to accept this, our evening sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Mercifully grant to us, through the merits of Jesus Christ, Your Son, the remission of our sins, and all the blessings of eternal life. Fill our hearts, we ask You, with Your Spirit. Simply to Your cross we cling, O Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. The night is now before us. We do not know what perils are veiled in the darkness. We know only that we are safe in You, by night as by day, for the darkness and the light are both alike to You. Your eye sees in the night as clearly as at noonday. So, while we sleep, You will watch over us, and we shall be as safe as if it were day. Be our shelter, our keeper, protecting us from all danger. We may not all live through the night. If any of us shall end our life here and go away before the morning, may it be unto You that we shall go. We ask that You will shed abroad Your love in our hearts. May Your will be done here in our home as it is done in Heaven. We ask for special individual blessings. We have different needs. Some of us are strong, and others are weak. As our day is, so may our strength be. Let none of us ever be overwhelmed by this world's evil. We ask for refreshing rest in sleep. May nothing disturb our repose until the morning. Give us in sleep the blessings of Your love. May we be stronger for the night's rest. Fit us for whatever is before us. Watch over us and bring us to the morning light in peace and health. Guide us in safe and good paths, and help us to be useful to many others. We ask it in the blessed name of Jesus. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/65/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion. Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotional for today. ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* MONDAY 8TH JUNE, 2026 *SUB-THEME:* EXAMPLES OF GOD'S AMAZING GRACE. *TOPIC:* CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. *TEXT:* NUMBERS 14:1-5, 20. 1. That night all the members of the community raised their voices and wept aloud. 2. All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, “If only we had died in Egypt! Or in this wilderness! 3. Why is the Lord bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword? Our wives and children will be taken as plunder. Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt?” 4. And they said to each other, “We should choose a leader and go back to Egypt.” 5. Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown in front of the whole Israelite assembly gathered there. 20. The Lord replied, “I have forgiven them, as you asked. *TOPIC:* CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. *THE MESSAGE:* This text reveals the sad reality of Israel's rebellion against God after their wondrous deliverance. They grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and wished they had died in Egypt rather than for the Lord to have brought them out to die in the desert. Therefore, they preferred to go back to Egypt after a leader of their choice. They preferred slavery to freedom. And they seem to suggest that God's choice of a leader was faulty. These people could have enjoyed God's unending supplies, but for their rebellion. God forgave them as Moses and Aaron interceded on their behalf. Truly, God's Grace towards His children is inexhaustible and unfathomable. He forgives over and over again. Do you grumble and rebel against your leaders? Doing so may cost you God's blessings. So watch out! *REFLECTION:* You cannot exhaust God's Grace. *PRAYER:* Lord, forgive my complaints and grumblings. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* JOHN 1:16. "From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another." *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* PSALM 40-41. ED.ii. Skip to content Dalily Devotional by Elizabeth Haworth Posted onJune 8, 2026 by Editor Holy Conduct Christian Applications Store:: Christian devotional App Store; Explore Recommended Christian Books and Devotionals Since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. 1Thessalonians 5:8 Children of Light We are children of the light, for we walk in the light of the knowledge of Christ. We are children of the day, yet we live in a world of darkness, sin and lawlessness.. and so we are to be sober, clear-headed and wise in our Christian walk and witness. We are to be sober and circumspect as we work, watch and wait for the Lord’s return. Realistically Alive This doesn’t mean living with a long face or putting on an illusion of piousness, but rather we are to be realistically alive and living in prepared anticipation. We are to be calm and collected in spirit but not lulled into a false sense of security. We are to be temperate in mind, dispassionate in heart and vigilant in soul. We are children of light; children of the day – and so we are to be clothed in Christ. Three Preeminent Graces There are three preeminent graces, which form a believers’ protective covering. Together they shine as shafts of light when Christ is seated on the throne of the soul.. for when we are covered with Christ we have put on faith and hope and love. Protective Breastplate Both faith and love unite as one, for faith works through love – while love feeds faith. This protective breastplate of faith and love is our covering of Christ’s righteousness: for the heart that abides in Christ is the one that stands firm in the day of trouble. Spiritual Fruit Faith is the spiritual fruit of patient endurance: as seeing Him who is invisible. Love is the root that bears all things, believes all things, hopes and endures all things. The former enables the patient tenacity of trusting faith in Christ Jesus. The latter excites the diligent works of a growing love for the Jesus Christ, and they intertwine as His banner of love, over those that trust in His name. Protective Peace The third grace of this harmonious trio of protective peace – is the hope of salvation. The helmet of hope should protect our thoughts and flood through our minds, for hope is that sure anticipation of the glory of Christ that is to be fully revealed. The breastplate of faith and love covers our heart, enfolding us in His righteousness. The helmet of the hope of our salvation protects our minds from the darkness of this age. All three unite in our future promise in Christ, when we shall see Him as He is – for all are founded in the assured anticipation of the glory that shall be revealed. Clothed in Christ We belong to the day, for we are children of light… let us, therefore.. be sober, clearheaded, watchful and wise. Let us put on the breastplate of faith and love, for we are covered in His righteousness, and for a helmet – let us wear the hope of eternal salvation in Him.

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou [art] God. ⏤ Psalm 90:1-2 God does nothing but by prayer, and everything with it. ⏤ John Wesley Heavenly Father, whose favor is life, whose lovingkindness is better than life, we thank You for all the blessings You have shown to us. Through another day, You have led us. Goodness and mercy have followed us all the way. We enter now into the quiet and rest of the evening, and Your banner over us is love. We hide in the shadow of Your wings. We remember before You this evening all the interests of our home. We thank You for all that home means to us of love and shelter. Bless us in our family life, making it more and more like the heavenly life. Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. A thousand years in Your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. We are but creatures of a moment, dying and passing away. We are like the grass which in the morning flourishes and grows up, and in the evening is cut down and withers. We spend our years as a tale that is told. You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your countenance. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/64/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.
