Have you met them yet?

The Chosen isn't just another Bible film. It's the story of ordinary people — a fisherman drowning in debt, a tax collector everyone despised, a woman the town had written off — who met the Savior and were never the same again.

That's what makes it so moving. You don't watch distant saints in golden halos. You watch people like us: doubting, tired, afraid, making mistakes — and yet choosing to believe. And through their eyes, Jesus becomes wonderfully close: someone who laughs, listens, and calls each person by name.

Seasons 1–5 are streaming now on https://watch.thechosen.tv/season-1 , and Season 6 premieres on 15 November 2026 — the story leading to the cross. There's never been a better moment to start.

Czy już ich poznałeś?

The Chosen — Wybrani to nie jest kolejny film biblijny. To historia zwykłych ludzi — rybaka tonącego w długach, znienawidzonego poborcy podatków, kobiety, na której wszyscy postawili krzyżyk — którzy spotkali Zbawiciela i już nigdy nie byli tacy sami.

I właśnie to porusza najbardziej. Nie oglądamy tu odległych świętych w złotych aureolach. Oglądamy ludzi takich jak my: zwątpiałych, zmęczonych, zalęknionych, popełniających błędy — a mimo to wybierających wiarę. A przez ich oczy Jezus staje się cudownie bliski: ktoś, kto się śmieje, słucha i woła każdego po imieniu.

Sezony 1–5 są dostępne na https://watch.thechosen.tv/season-1 , a 15 listopada 2026 roku premierę ma sezon 6 — historia prowadząca prosto pod krzyż. Nie ma lepszego momentu, żeby zacząć.

THE HARD TRUTH ABOUT ETERNITY
“Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” —Matthew 28:19–20 
A Christian father who was terminally ill called his three sons to his bedside. To his two sons who were believers, he said, “Goodbye, my sons. I will see you in the morning.”
Turning to his third son, he simply and sadly said, “Goodbye, my son.” 
The young man was deeply disturbed. He said, “Father, why is it you said to my brothers, ‘I will see you in the morning,’ and you only said to me, ‘Goodbye, my son’? Why didn’t you say you would see me in the morning, too?” 
His father replied, “Son, you have never asked Jesus Christ into your heart to be your Savior and Lord. And that is what breaks my heart the most. I will never see you again.”
That son began to ask his father how he could be saved, how he could see his father again. His father told him how.
The son prayed and received Christ into his life. Then his father said, “Now our family will be together in eternity.” 
That can happen for everyone who has put their faith in Christ.
It will be a great reunion one day in the future. But what does the unbeliever have to look forward to? Judgment after death and a miserable, empty life on earth.
There might be some fun in sin—for a while. But payday comes.
The hard truth about eternal life is found in the apostle Paul’s words in Romans 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death” (NLT). 
That’s why believers are called to share the gospel far and wide, as the Christian father in the story did with his son.
In what’s known as the Great Commission, Jesus gave His followers these instructions: “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:19–20 NLT). 
Eternal life is the hope believers cling to when the things of this life start to overwhelm us.
There’s a reason that John 3:16 is perhaps the best-known passage in all of Scripture. Jesus’ words to Nicodemus still resonate powerfully today: “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life” (NLT). 
If you do not commit your life to Christ, ultimately you will look back on your life and realize that you wasted it. But don’t wait until the end of your life to figure that out. Figure it out now. 
God bless you

Now look at the other side:

One Lion leading 10 sheep.

It doesn't look impressive.

The crowd is small.

The conference may have only 10 people.

The church may have 100.

The preacher may not be famous.

The ministry may not trend online.

But what if that small congregation is being faithfully taught:

Christ.
Repentance.
Righteousness.
Sanctification.
Holiness.
Truth.
Readiness for eternity.

Never despise a small gathering where the truth is being preached.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: TUESDAY 25TH AUGUST 2026

TOPIC: FEAR GOD, PART 1

MEMORIZE:
"But the Lord your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies." 2 Kings 17:39 (KJV)

BIBLE READING: PSALM 112:1-9
1 Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

MESSAGE:
The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom (Psalm 111:10); therefore, anyone who does not fear God is not wise. He is a Consuming Fire (Hebrews 12:29), and those who do not fear Him are truly foolish because even a mad dog fears fire. Psalm 111:10 also means that those who fear God become wise.

Apart from wisdom, however, there are many other benefits to fearing God, and today's Bible reading outlines many of them. One of the benefits is that the seed of a person who fears God will be mighty upon the earth (Psalm 112:2). That same verse also tells us that the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Psalm 112:3 says that you will have access to wealth and riches when you fear God. Also, Psalm 112:7 says that you will not be afraid of evil tidings. People who fear God do not need to be afraid of anything because He will deliver them out of the hands of all their enemies and everything that can harm them.

Those who do not fear God will find it easy to commit sins, and this can bring a curse upon them and their descendants. For example, Gehazi's lack of fear for the Lord caused him and his descendants to become carriers of the leprosy that was previously upon Naaman (2 Kings 5:20-27). Whenever a person acts in a way that shows that he or she does not fear God, such a person robs his or her children of the opportunity to be great and exposes them to curses rather than blessings.

Joab was another person whose lack of fear for the Lord brought curses upon his lineage. In (2 Samuel 3:27-29), the Bible details how he tricked Abner and murdered him in cold blood. When David heard about it, he placed a curse on Joab's lineage that sicknesses, leprosy, poverty, weakness, and untimely death would befall Joab's family and his descendants. People who do not fear God purchase trouble for their children.

Beloved, if you want your future and that of your children to be glorious, you need to have the fear of God in you. If you're going to have peace of mind in your old age, you must fear God. The reason I am sure that my tomorrow and those of my children will be alright is that I fear the Lord. I pray that your life and those of your descendants will be filled with blessings and not curses, in Jesus' name.

KEY POINT:
The fear of the Lord guarantees God's blessings for you and your lineage.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR:
EZEKIEL 5 - 8

HYMNAL 7 - I AM THINE O LORD
1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
and it told Thy love to me;
but I long to rise in the arms of faith,
and be closer drawn to Thee.

REFRAIN:
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
to the cross where Thou hast died;
draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
to Thy precious, bleeding side.

2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
by the pow'r of grace divine;
let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
and my will be lost in Thine.

[Refrain]

3 O, the pure delight of a single hour
that before Thy throne I spend,
when I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend!

[Refrain]

4 There are depths of love that I cannot know
till I cross the narrow sea;
there are heights of joy that I may not reach
till I rest in peace with Thee.

GOD'S PROMISES CALL US TO HOLINESS

2 Corinthians 7:1

"Therefore, since we have these promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God."

Paul has just reminded believers of God's promises: He dwells in the midst of His people and desires to be their Father (2 Corinthians 6:16-18). These promises are therefore not a license to live as before, but a call to a consecrated life.

God's promises are not only meant to comfort us, they are also meant to transform us. Those who hope to experience God's reality must accept being purified by Him.

Grace draws us closer to God, and holiness teaches us to remain close to Him. We cannot claim the Father's promises while rejecting the Father's character.

Identify today what is defiling your life, your heart, or your thoughts, and then resolutely renounce it. Don't just wait for God's blessings; let His Word also mold you to His will.

Lord, since You have made me precious promises, cleanse me from all defilement. Help me to grow in holiness each day and to live in Your fear.

WHY SHOULD YOU HONOUR MEN? — AND WHAT IF YOUR MIRACLE IS CONNECTED TO IT?
‎Sometimes the person carrying the answer to your next season doesn't look like a miracle.
‎In Part 1 of The Wisdom Table, Vessel of Grace takes us into one of the most overlooked biblical principles: HONOUR.
‎We explore a provocative question:
‎Could familiarity make you lose access to what God placed in someone?
‎From the wedding at Cana to Jesus' warning about honouring a prophet, this episode challenges the way we see pastors, mentors, parents, leaders, teachers—and even ordinary people God may use to influence our lives.
‎But there's a deeper question:
‎How do you recognize the people you should honour?
‎This isn't about worshipping people or blindly submitting to everyone. It's about discernment, humility and recognizing value where God has placed it.

‎Where faith meets wisdom, and conversations reveal truth.

Morning Prayer for Healing and Restoration
If you are carrying pain in your body, heaviness in your heart, troubling thoughts, or wounds from the past, this prayer is for you. Today, we come before God honestly, without pretending to be strong, and simply ask:
“Father, please heal me.”
This is a prayer for healing and restoration—for your body, heart, mind, and every area of life where you need God's comfort and strength.
Scripture for Today:
"Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for You are the one I praise." — Jeremiah 17:14
As you pray, ask God to:
Bring comfort where you are hurting
Strengthen you when you feel weak
Bring peace to your troubled mind
Heal the wounds in your heart
Restore your joy, hope, and strength
Help you through grief, disappointment, and painful experiences
Give wisdom to those caring for you
Give you grace and hope through your healing journey

You do not have to hide your pain from God. He knows what you are going through, including the things you have never been able to explain to anyone else.
If this prayer speaks to your heart, comment:
“Father, I trust You with my healing.”

May God bring you comfort, renew your strength, restore your hope, and walk with you through every step of your healing journey.
In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

Dear Father,

I love the teaching style of Jesus, particularly because He used parables to make illustrations, and from these parables, so much can be deduced. Today, I pondered the Parable of the Talents, which says: “The kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his servants and entrusted his goods unto them. He gave one five talents, another two, and another one. The one with five talents traded and gained five more talents, and he that had received two also gained two more. The last one did nothing with what he was given…”

However, between the periods of receiving the talents and the reward lies a season of struggle. Such great conversions are not instantaneous; if they were, they would all have brought back returns. And perhaps the five talents measured as returns for the five given were not a literal representation of how his harvest was without losses. Perhaps, in the process of conversion, he gained some harvests and some lessons. And perhaps both the lessons and the fruits are counted as gains in this kingdom.

In seamlessly telling the story, He had no intention of bypassing the struggle; He left us to discern the various ways in which it applies: that both the fruits and the lessons are counted as gains in this kingdom, so long as we proceed-- not to bury what has been entrusted to us, but to put it to use.

I’d like to write You about the struggles and the lessons I’ve encountered, and how all people see are the fruits. But do I need to? When most of all, You see how in the midst of all these, I’ve grown.

The Lord Is My Portion

Lamentations 3:24 (AMP)
“The Lord is my portion and my inheritance,” says my soul; “Therefore I have hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him.”


There are seasons when everything around us seems uncertain. Plans change, people may disappoint us, and circumstances can leave us wondering what tomorrow will bring. Yet in the middle of his sorrow, Jeremiah makes a powerful declaration: “The Lord is my portion.”

A portion is what belongs to you—your inheritance, your provision, your security. Jeremiah was reminding his soul that even when everything else felt unstable, God Himself remained enough.

Our hope is not ultimately found in what we possess, how successful we are, or how comfortable our circumstances may be. Our greatest treasure is the Lord. When He is our portion, we can face uncertain days with confidence because our future rests in His hands.

Notice that the verse says, “Therefore I have hope in Him.” Hope is a choice to trust God's character even when we cannot yet see the outcome. Waiting on God does not mean He has forgotten us. Sometimes the waiting is where He strengthens our faith, deepens our dependence, and teaches us to trust His timing.

Today, remind your soul: God is still my portion. God is still my inheritance. God is still my hope.
Whatever you may be facing, you don't have to have every answer today. You can place your confidence in the One who holds tomorrow.

Prayer
Father, thank You for being my portion and my inheritance. When life feels uncertain, help me remember that I have everything I truly need in You. Teach me to wait patiently and expectantly for Your perfect timing. Strengthen my faith when I cannot see what You are doing. Let my hope remain firmly anchored in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Today’s Declaration
The Lord is my portion. He is my hope, my security, and my inheritance. I will trust Him, wait on Him, and believe that He is working even when I cannot see it.
