Brothers and sisters in Christ, Please hear my heart: this is not an attack on anyone, nor am I telling you to leave church. No, no I am still in church, and I am still part of what we call church in this modern day. For a very long time, God has been showing me clearly through His Word that much of what we see today is not His original design. Many have come against me and tried to convince me that these modern setups are from God, but when I open the Scriptures, I see something completely different. I am not telling you what to do with what I share in this group. All I know is that revelation does not mean leave, and revelation does not mean attack. Revelation means: Question and search the Word (Acts 17:11). Test all things (1 Thessalonians 5:21). Read and study the Scriptures (2 Timothy 2:15). Most importantly, PRAY. When the disciples walked with Jesus, received all His wisdom, knowledge, and revelation, they didn't go out to fight the religious leaders or destroy the system the Pharisees had built. Instead, they asked Jesus one specific thing: "Lord, teach us to pray" (Luke 11:1). They knew that prayer is the ultimate source of power, the answer, and the only thing that brings true change from our Heavenly Father. So yes, if you want to do something about what you read here, you have my full support: pray for the Body of Christ and for HIS Church not mine, not yours, but the Church of King Jesus Christ. Amen, brothers and sisters Exposing Religion, Restoring Covenant, and Understanding the True Body of Christ THE ROOT PROBLEM: ADAM'S BLOODLINE VS. THE LAST ADAM To understand what the Church is supposed to be, we must first understand why we needed Jesus in the first place. The Inherited Condition: In Genesis 2:21-23, Eve was taken out of Adam’s side they shared the same life and blood. When Adam sinned, spiritual death and corrupted iniquity entered the human spiritual DNA. The Transmitted Curse: Just like a child born with a condition inherited from their parents through no fault of their own, every human born of human seed inherited Adam’s fallen nature (Psalm 51:5, Romans 5:12). The Pure Virgin Birth: This is why Jesus could not have an earthly human father. The Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary (Luke 1:35). Jesus was born with pure, heavenly, undefiled blood bypassing Adam's fallen seed. "The first man Adam became a living being. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit." 1 Corinthians 15:45 Key Insight: Salvation through Holy Communion and the Blood of Jesus acts like spiritual dialysis filtering out the toxicity of Adam's sin and replacing it with the pure, incorruptible life of King Jesus! GOD’S DESIGN FOR MARRIAGE AND COVENANT Why did God create marriage, forbid sex outside of it, and tell us not to be unequally yoked (2 Corinthians 6:14)? God is Eternal Community: God exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Love requires relationship. When God said, "It is not good that man should be alone" (Genesis 2:18), He wasn't just fixing Adam's loneliness He was creating humanity to reflect His relational, self-sacrificial nature. Godly Offspring: Sex inside marriage creates a covenant shield over the home. Malachi 2:15 asks why God made two into one: "He seeks godly offspring." Born-again parents create a holy atmosphere covered by prayer (1 Corinthians 7:14). Important Note: Born-again parents give their children a spiritual foundation, but every child must still reach an age where they personally accept Jesus as their Savior. God has children, not grandchildren! Marriage as a Prophetic Picture: In Ephesians 5:31-32, Paul reveals that marriage between a husband and wife was created from Genesis to be a prophetic mirror of Christ and the Church. THE TRAP OF MODERN RELIGION, CULTURE, AND TRADITIONS In Matthew 15:6–9, Jesus confronted the religious leaders of His day with a severe warning: "You have nullified the word of God for the sake of your tradition. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules." When the modern Church strays from the Holy Spirit, it falls into three traps: Religion: Replaces raw intimacy with God with mechanical checklists and outward appearances. Culture: Waters down the Gospel to avoid offending people offering a soft "love" without Truth that leaves people bound in sin. Tradition: Protects "how we've always done it," defending empty human routines even when the Holy Spirit wants to move. The Pool of Bethesda Warning (John 5) A paralyzed man lay by the pool for 38 years. He said, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up." He was inside a place called the "House of Mercy," yet he was totally isolated by religious crowds pursuing their own blessings. Jesus bypassed the crowd, spoke Kingdom power, and commanded him to rise! The Holy Spirit does not need a human run-sheet; He needs obedient vessels. TRUTH AND LOVE: THE GREAT PHYSICIAN Modern churches often preach Truth without Love (Legalism) or Love without Truth (Compromise). Jesus came full of Grace and Truth (John 1:14). Truth without Love - Brutality: Uses Scripture like a hammer to condemn people without helping them. Love without Truth - Deception: Tells a drowning person they are fine while they perish in their sin. The Doctor Analogy: A good doctor hates the cancer, but loves the patient. To the woman caught in adultery (John 8): Jesus offered unconditional Grace ("Neither do I condemn you") AND uncompromising Truth ("Go and sin no more"). Why Jesus Acted Differently with Different People: To the broken, lost, and hurting sinner: Jesus was gentle, patient, and merciful (Zacchaeus, the woman at the well). To the hypocritical religious leaders: Jesus was sharp, bold, and uncompromising ("Woe to you, hypocrites! White-washed tombs!" - Matthew 23:27). WHAT IS THE TRUE CHURCH (EKKLĒSIA)? If Jesus walked into our towns today, He wouldn't look for a brand name, a denomination, or a big building. The word "Church" in Greek is Ekklēsia, meaning "the called-out ones." The Origin of the Setup: For the first 300 years, the early Church met from house to house as a family (Acts 2:46). When Emperor Constantine legalized Christianity in 313 AD, church life was merged with Roman pagan structures building giant basilicas, introducing altars, and turning active believers into passive spectators watching a priest or pastor perform on stage. What is a "Saint"? In Scripture, every born-again believer is a saint (Ephesians 1:1). The "assembling of the saints" (Hebrews 10:25) was never meant to be watching a weekly 90-minute show. 1 Corinthians 14:26 says: "Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation." Whose Church Does Jesus Visit? Where believers gather in HIS Name (not human brand names - 1 Corinthians 1:12-13). Where people worship in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:24). Where genuine Love is shown to the broken (John 13:35). Where Jesus is not locked outside the door by human programs (Revelation 3:20). REVELATION IS A CALL TO PRAYER, NOT REBELLION Testing what we hear against Scripture is biblical the Bereans were praised because they searched the Scriptures daily to verify what Paul taught (Acts 17:10-11). When God gives you revelation to see the flaws in religious traditions: Do not use it to destroy or attack: Revelation is not a weapon to throw rocks at the Bride of Christ. Use it as an assignment to intercede: In Luke 11:1, the disciples didn't ask Jesus how to preach or do miracles they asked, "Lord, teach us to pray." Follow Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer (John 17): Right before the cross, Jesus prayed for the protection and supernatural unity of His believers ("that they all may be one as We are one"). OUR CALLING AS STEWARDS We do not own the Church; we are only stewards of what Jesus built. It was already perfect in the New Testament. We don't need to reinvent it with human business models or cultural traditions. It is time to be soft and compassionate toward the broken sheep, but bold and uncompromising against the religious spirit that keeps people trapped. Let us return to the original blueprint: living in the pure bloodline of Jesus, worshipping in Spirit and Truth, loving one another, and being His living Body on the earth! Amen!

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🌹🎀🎁💝🌺 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY FRIDAY JULY 31, 2O26. "CONTROL YOUR TONGUE " '…If we could control our tongues, we…could also control ourselves in every other way.’  James 3:2 NLT THE SAYING goes, ‘We are like cats; we lick ourselves with our tongues!’ When someone spreads gossip, mark that person carefully. Why? Because if they talk to you about somebody else, they’ll talk to somebody else about you. The Bible warns us about three things: 1) a hasty tongue. ‘Do you see a man hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him’ (Proverbs 29:20 NKJV). If you take time to get the facts, much of the time you’ll speak differently. Hannah prayed so passionately for a child that Eli the high priest thought she was drunk. When the disciples saw Jesus walking toward them on the Sea of Galilee, they thought He was a ghost. So think, or better yet, pray before you jump to conclusions. 2) a flattering tongue. ‘…There is no faithfulness in their mouth…they flatter with their tongue’ (Psalms 5:9 NKJV). Say what you mean and mean what you say. Be genuine. When you flatter people, you manipulate them for your own ends. Don’t do that. Give it to them straight. If you love them, be truthful with them. 3) a judgmental tongue. Jesus said, ‘Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you’ (Matthew 7:1-2 NKJV). If you live long enough, you’ll be guilty of many of the same things you’re so quick to condemn in others. The truth is, how you deal with other people determines how God deals with you.

The palace was built by Nawab Viqar-ul-Umra, and it was completed in 1894. The dining table was crafted with the finest materials available at that time. It is 108-foot-long and is designed to seat 101 guests. The table is part of the furniture still used today at the Taj Falaknuma Palace, which has been converted to a luxury hotel. It takes an uncommon table to entertain uncommon guests.* *It was Passover time and for Jesus, it would be His last with His disciples. He wanted to celebrate it in an uncommon way. He instructed them to go and prepare a place for the feast, though, unknown to them, He had by divine power, already put arrangements in place. Getting the work done well will take their willingness, faith in His word and implicit obedience to His instructions for them to make a success of their assignment. Jesus sent Peter and John on this special assignment and wonderfully enough, on this occasion, Peter did not ask questions. He went as instructed and found the words of Jesus true to the letter.* *There is nothing on earth that can take our Lord by surprise. John says Jesus "needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man" (John 2:25). He knew the houses and spaces available for Him. He knew the locations and available "large rooms" furnished to receive Him. But He did not take chances by keeping the guests wondering when He would come. He sent an advance party to get all things ready.* *The Lord Jesus is coming again and He wants you to be ready for the marriage supper of the Lamb. He has gone to prepare a place for the elect and He wants us to be watchful and prepared for the glorious occasion. Peter and John did not hesitate to carry out His plan to get the table for the feast ready. He has great expectations that you will carry out His instructions. Will you let Him down?* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*The Christian that fails to prepare for the coming glory will have a sad story.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *PHILIPPIANS 1-4*📜📜 Preparations For The Master https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 175: HE IS COMING AGAIN; GHS 176: CHRIST RETURNETH; AND GHS 174: JESUS IS COMING AGAIN* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna31stJuly2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [30/07, 9:00 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```FRIDAY 31ST JULY, 2026``` *RESTITUTION* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:LUKE 19:1-10```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold" (LUKE 19:8).*_ *The _Collins Dictionary_ defines restitution as one, "the act of giving back something that has been lost or stolen;" two, "the act of compensating for loss or injury by reverting as far as possible to the position before such injury occurred;" and three, "the return of an object or system to its original state, especially a restoration of shape after elastic deformation."* *This three-layer definition of restitution provides a clear picture of what restitution entails in the Christian faith. Restitution is important because it shows how repentance and conversion come with a broken and contrite spirit. The example of Zacchaeus in the Bible demonstrates that becoming a disciple of Christ requires restoring to others what has been taken wrongfully.* *Restitution concretises your repentance and it also makes people around you to know about the grace of God which could help you to be desirous of amending your ways. Seek to amend your ways today by restoring things taken from others wrongfully and by restoring peaceful relationship with those you offended. Seek counsel from mature believers to handle cases that may implicate others.* 💬 ```QUOTE:``` _*Restitution concretises your repentance.*_ 🏆 ```CHALLENGE:``` _*Make your restitution without further delay.*_ 🙏🏽🙏🏽 ```PRAYER:``` _*Lord, help me to do all necessary restitutions.*_ Restitution https://dailymanna.app// *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#HigherEveryday31stJuly2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [30/07, 9:01 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*(SINCERE MILK: Children Daily Devotional Guide 2⃣0⃣2⃣6️⃣)*_ 🙇🏼🙇🏼🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇🏼🙇‍♀️🙇🏼🙇‍♀️🙇🏼‍♂️ ```FRIDAY 31ST JULY, 2026``` *RIGHT YOUR WRONGS!* 📓📖🎚️🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```LEVITICUS 6:1-5```📜📜 🕔📚🖋️🚻😁🎼🏆🍉🪴🌈💻 🔑📖 ```Key Verse:``` _*"Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering" (Leviticus 6:5).*_ 📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖 John borrowed a story book from the library and forgot to return it. In church, years after he left primary school, he heard a message on restitution. He made up his mind to take the book back to his former school. The head teacher of the school was very happy with John. When we become saved, God expects us to make right all our wrongs. Perhaps you took something that does not belong to you, return it to the rightful owner. If you told a lie or bore false witness against an innocent person or gossiped about your pastor, friend or teacher, then, you must do your restitutions and make things right with them. The verse three (3) of our text says, *"Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein". You must return all that does not belong to you to the rightful owners and confess to people you have wrongfully accused.

An unconverted person will see obedience as a burden and when he may be willing he may not have the power to obey. When someone is genuinely converted, all forms of resistance and reluctance in obeying God are given a deadly blow. The more consecrated he is, the more tender his heart is and the more surrendered to the will, word, way and wisdom of God. Obedience is the practical proof of love for God. As the hour of His suffering drew near, Jesus did not avoid the Father’s will; He moved steadily toward the cross even when it was not convenient. In this passage we see obedience displayed first by the Saviour, then by His servants and finally by those who would become obedient saints. True discipleship is not selective obedience, but complete surrender, even when the path leads to sacrifice. *1. The Obedient Saviour* *"Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.”* The law of the passover had been in existence for thousands of years since the children of Israel were delivered from Egypt. It is easy to see the ceremonial law as outdated and Jesus could easily have waived it off as inconsequential. Rather, Jesus took it seriously as something that must be obeyed since it had not been abrogated by God. There is also the psychological trauma that He could have used as an excuse for not obeying this law of passover. He knew that the Passover pointed to His own death as the Lamb of God and the thought of it could be very distressing. Yet, He was obedient unto death; He did not resist the divine timetable. His obedience was deliberate, timely and total. b. Obedience to the Word of God should be total and there should not be any excuse when the Word of God is clear. He teaches us that obedience is not merely doing what is easy; it is submitting to God’s will even when it involves suffering. There is no record of spots in the character of Jesus though He passed through most emotionally tasking situations and circumstances. We are to follow His example and this will take determination, consecration and prayer for grace. *Question* Am I willing to obey God when obedience demands sacrifice, inconvenience or personal loss? *2. The Obedient Servants* a. Jesus sent Peter and John with specific instructions concerning the Passover preparation. *"Go and prepare us the passover that we may eat"*. They were told what to do, where to go and whom to follow. That kind of commandment was strange. The disciples were always with Jesus and they never saw or heard Him telling someone about using his house for passover. It was natural for people like Peter not to "play the fool" but rather ask questions from Christ so as to be more certain. Surprisingly, they did not ask Jesus for clarifications, argue, delay or substitute their own ideas; they simply obeyed. Actually, the instructions were detailed enough that without any question they could easily follow the instructions of Jesus. But it would require faith in the Omniscience and Omnipresence of Jesus to obey. b. Pride and unbelief are two major drivers of disobedience. He who will follow Jesus must have faith in Christ as the faithful Lord of heaven and earth. He is Omnipotent and Omniscient. There must be humility too. It is the humility of Christ that made Him submit to God's Word and paid the ultimate price for the salvation of mankind. Obedient servants trust the wisdom of their Master even when they do not fully understand His instructions. God often guides step by step and blessing follows those who respond promptly. *Question* Do I obey God promptly or do I delay until His command agrees with my own plans? *3. The Obedient Saint* There was no evidence that Jesus had ever met this owner of the house on one on one. He might have been among those multitudes that have heard of Jesus and perhaps followed Jesus. He is a type of secret saint or secret disciple of Christ. The owner of the house responded positively when the disciples conveyed the Master’s request. He made available a large furnished upper room for the Lord’s use. This unnamed man became an example of a saint whose possessions, home and resources were surrendered for God’s purpose. Obedience is not limited to dramatic acts; it includes the faithful dedication of what we have to the service of Christ and willingness to give up anything the Master asks for, no matter how precious. *Question* Is my life, my home, my time and my substance fully available for the Lord’s use? Is there any aspect of the Word of God that you waive aside because you are not willing to obey? *Prayer Points* 1.Lord Jesus, give me a heart that delights to obey You completely 🙏. 2.Father, remove every spirit of disobedience, delay and self-will from my life 🙏. 3.I consecrate my life, family, home and resources for Your service and keep me obedient unto the end 🙏. 4.Circumcise the heart of Your children and purge them from secret, silent and sinning disobedience 🙏. *HYMN:* Trust and Obey *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* PHILIPPIANS 1-4. 2. Morning Prayer for today. MP.i. Morning Prayer Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. ⏤ Psalm 19:14 It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, but why he does it. ⏤ A.W. Tozer O You who dwell in the heavens, we lift our eyes to You. The morning calls us again to worship You, and we gladly come to Your feet with our praise. It is fitting that we should bring You our hearts' worship. We have been called from death, as it were, for in our sleep we were like the dead. Our waking is a new beginning of life. We give ourselves to You for another day. We dedicate this day to You and want to make it entirely Yours. We want to make it a holy day, without blemish. We don't want to do anything to stain its white page. We want to write on this little page of ours only beautiful things—a record of worthy deeds, faithfulness, kindness, and unselfishness. But we know that we can only make this day white and worthy with Your help. We are naturally selfish—but may You fill us with Your love so that we will do only loving things today. Preserve us from impatience, from outbursts of temper, from quarrelsomeness, and from all harsh and bitter speech. Help us as a family to live together with affection, bearing with one another, restraining anger and unkind feelings, and showing only thoughtfulness, gentleness, and sweetness of spirit. Help us to make our home a place of love where no sharp or unkind words are spoken, where each person thinks only of the others' happiness. Make our home one where Jesus Himself would be glad to be a constant guest. Then may our home today be a center of holy influence that spreads light, warmth, and cheer to other homes. There are homes without Your love—without the blessing of Your love revealed and understood. May the influence of our home help to make these homes truer. We ask this in Jesus' precious name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/26/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🎀💝🎁🌺🌹 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY MONDAY JULY 20, 2026. "WHAT ARE YOU LIVING FOR?" ‘Grey hair is a crown of splendour; it is attained by a righteous life.’ Proverbs 16:31 NIV WE ALL live for something; the question is, what? Ben Patterson writes in ‘The Grand Essentials’: ‘I have a theory about old age…I believe when life has whittled us down, when joints have failed and skin has wrinkled and capillaries have clogged and hardened, what is left of us will be what we were all along in our essence. Exhibit A: a distant uncle. All his life, he did nothing but find new ways to get rich. He spent his [last years] very comfortably, drooling and babbling constantly about the money he had made. When life whittled him down to his essence, all that was left was raw greed. This is what he had cultivated in a thousand little ways over a lifetime. Exhibit B: My wife’s grandmother. When she died in her mid-eighties, she had already been senile for several years. What did this lady talk about? The best example I can think of was when we asked her to pray before dinner. She would reach out and hold the hands of those sitting beside her, a broad, beatific smile would spread across her face, her dim eyes would fill with tears as she looked up to heaven and her chin would quiver as she poured out her love to Jesus. That was Edna in a nutshell. She loved Jesus and she loved people. She couldn’t remember our names, but she couldn’t keep her hands from patting us lovingly whenever we got near her. When life whittled her down to her essence, all there was left was love…for God and love for people.’ What are you living for? Bible In A Year: Acts 24-25; Matt 11:1-9; Ps1; Pro 16:10-15.

A more recent work by Rodney Stark, titled, _America's Blessings,_ relying on sociological data, concluded that compared to less religious and nonreligious individuals, people of faith are better off. He believes that a person renewed by the gospel increasingly acts in a self-controlled and selfless manner, engages in less criminal behaviour and experiences higher marital happiness and lower divorce rates, while producing more and better-behaved children.* *In today's Bible passage, Apostle Paul believes that the gospel of Christ has positively transformed the lives of the Corinthian Christians. This is because God did not consider the smallness or stature of the Corinthian believers before saving them from the power of sin. Paul reminds the Corinthians of their humble beginning in the journey of faith and how God's transforming grace turned their lives around. God can make giants of anyone no matter his or her poor beginning.* *Paul believes that God usually does not apply worldly methods to spiritual things. "God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise" (1 Corinthians 1:27). The Bible is full of stories of people like the shepherd boy, David, who was brought from obscurity to the throne. Who would have imagined that a man like Zacchaeus would voluntarily surrender his loot to repair the financial damage done to many families?

Each one of us has influence over someone in this world. It is obvious that the more you lead, the more opportunities for influence you will have. Both positive and negative influences have been recorded in the history of mankind. Good people have an effect on others for good, and bad people have some influence that turn out bad. Everybody is being influenced by someone or something no matter who you are, nobody is an island. We see it all around us; everyone is contributing something to influence others. The question is not if we will influence others, but rather what quality of influence we will generate in the lives of others. *As Christians, we should be positive influencers. We should influence others for Christ. Let others see Jesus in you, let them see Him in your attitude, lifestyle, behaviour, and from the way you treat others. Someday, we will stand before the Lord Jesus and give an account of how we spent our lives.

If God is partial, He will cease to be God. The voice of God is loud enough for every person, including the deaf, to hear. However, many close their ears to His voice that they might not hear. Of all the people who hear, only few respond. God cannot force anyone to respond for that will be contrary to His nature and plan of creating man as a free moral agent. Those who hear and respond appropriately are chosen and are called the chosen of God. *"Many are called few are chosen"*. Those who are chosen are those who are elected and those that are elected are those that are justified and those that are justified are those that are glorified. The call of God to salvation and eternal inheritance is a general appeal to all. Nobody merits that call. It is free for all. By implication and deduction, those who respond and take the needful action and get saved don't merit it either, and neither do they earn it by any means. Paul the Apostle gave the reasons why God did it so. *"That no flesh should glory in his presence"*. The wise, educated and enlightened cannot boast of their wisdom as the reason for their choice by God and neither can the foolish justify himself as to why they opted not to be saved. The door of salvation is open to all, the decision is left to individuals. *1.God's Unexpected Believers' Choice* a. If a great man is expected to choose those who will be his companion or marry, it is expected that he will look for the wise, brilliant, educated and resourceful people. However, God is looking for those He will make great and wise. The Corinthian believers were reminded to reflect on their own calling. Humanly speaking, not many of them were wise, influential or of noble birth. *"For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: "*. They did not respond to the call of God because of their earthly wisdom, wealth, might and nobility; and as a result they were not chosen by God. Yet God deliberately chose the foolish, the weak, the lowly and the despised, who humbly responded to Him, to shame the wise and the mighty. *"And base things of the world, and things that are despised, hath God chosen, yea the things which are not, to bring to nought things that are"*. Those that are despised as nobody, when they chose God and His salvation are cleansed, glorified and gifted as children of God to reflect the glory of God, have the knowledge of His will and be carriers of His mighty power. God's method of choosing people is completely different from man's. While people often value social status, wealth, intelligence, and influence, God looks upon the heart and calls those who will depend entirely on His grace. To those people He imparts His grace and glory. His choice is not based on human qualification, but on His sovereign love and purpose. b. Who are the people Jesus Christ chose to be His disciples? Mostly, unlettered men who decided to respond to the call of Jesus Christ. They eventually, got transformed by Jesus Christ and became life changers, solutions to problems that are beyond men and became pillars in the present kingdom and eternal kingdom. This truth should encourage every believer who feels insignificant or overlooked. God's election demonstrates that His power is perfected in human weakness, ensuring that all the glory belongs to Him alone. Only the humble, the meek and the lowly, regardless of their status, are those that the gates of heaven will be opened to now and in eternity. *Questions* Do you appreciate that God's choice of you was based on His grace rather than your achievements? Are you depending on human qualifications more than God's enabling power? *2.Glorying Unexpected of the Beloved Chosen* a. "*Where is the boasting then?"* *"For if Abraham were justified by works (merit), he hath whereof to glory; but not before God"* (Romans 4:2). God's gracious choice leaves no room for human boasting. Salvation is entirely His work from beginning to end. Every believer stands before God solely because of His mercy and not because of personal merit. The Lord intentionally, excludes human pride so that all glory belongs to Him. As "*He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord*." The Christian's confidence is therefore, not in educational attainment, financial success, family background, or spiritual accomplishments, but in the Lord Jesus Christ who has accomplished redemption. Those who understand the grace of God remain humble, grateful and devoted to giving Him all the praise. b. No matter the spiritual height anybody has attained, no matter the gift of God a person has, humility and lowliness should continually, guard the mind of the person. *"That, no flesh should glory in His presence"*. *". For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? ?"*. If you are proud as if you earn your salvation, you are likely not to be saved or you have lost it. *Questions* Is there anything in your life that causes you to boast instead of glorifying Christ? In what practical ways can you glorify the Lord rather than yourself? *3. God's Unlimited Blessing Through Christ* Christ is God's complete provision and perfect solution for every believer. *"But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption"* (1 Corinthians 1:30). Through Him we receive wisdom to know God's will being the Wisdom of God Himself (1 Corinthians 1:24). True, lasting and eternal wisdom only comes from Christ. Any human wisdom that does not have Christ as the source is foolishness and will not last. He only gives righteousness that will stand accepted before God and sanctification to live holy lives. No human effort can produce the true righteousness of God in man; only Jesus can. He only is the Redeemer from all sins and all evils. Everything required for salvation and victorious Christian living is found in Christ alone. Believers need not seek acceptance or spiritual completeness elsewhere because God has already provided every spiritual blessing in His Son. Therefore, our confidence, hope, strength and future are securely anchored in Jesus Christ. *Questions:* Are you relying fully on Christ as your wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption? Which aspect of Christ's provision do you need to embrace more fully today? *Prayer Points* 1.Father, thank You for choosing me by Your grace; help me to remain humble and faithful to Your calling🙏 2.Lord, remove every form of pride from my heart and teach me to glory only in Christ🙏. 3.Heavenly Father, enable me to depend daily upon Christ for wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption🙏 4.Lord, enable all Your children and let our lives continually reflect Your grace so that others may glorify You through our testimony 🙏. *HYMN:* All things in Jesus *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* EXODUS 12-16. 2. Morning Prayer for today. MP.i. Morning Prayer [It is of] the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. [They are] new every morning: great [is] thy faithfulness. ⏤ Lamentations 3:22-23 Begin each day with private prayer, with great earnestness. ⏤ George Whitefield Father, as the brightness of a new day comes to us, we pause to receive Your blessing. We want to make this a fresh start in our lives. We want to forget the past—our mistakes and sins, our sorrows, and our struggles. We begin this new day asking for the grace to live in a way that honors You and blesses the world. As we go about our tasks today, we ask for Your special presence with us. We hold onto Your promises. You’ve said, "As your days, so shall your strength be!" and "I am with you always, even to the end of the world!" We wait for these promises to be fulfilled. We need Your guidance and help at every step. We are weak, but You can make us strong to endure. Fill us with Your Spirit so that we can bring something of the love of Jesus to everyone we meet. We want to live in this world as those who belong to Heaven, carrying Heaven’s love in our hearts and Heaven’s light in our faces. Knowing our weakness, we cast our lives with all their burdens on You and ask You to keep us. Watch over each of us and bring us all together again this evening, if it is Your will. But if our circle is broken, if any of us are taken away from this earth, receive us into the Father’s house, where we will never have to leave. We pray for those who will have a hard day today—the poor, the sick, the tempted, those in the darkness of sorrow. Show Yourself to them in tender love. Hear our morning prayers. Keep us from all evil. Help us to faithfully do every duty. We ask all this in Jesus’ precious name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/15/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

TODAY'S KINGDOM INSIGHTS. SERMON TOPIC: GOD'S ANSWER TO CORRUPTION Anchor Text: Proverbs 14:34 "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." A WAKE-UP CALL Corruption is one of the greatest enemies of individuals, families, churches, businesses, and nations. It destroys trust, weakens institutions, steals the future of the young, and dishonors God. Today, corruption is no longer seen only in government offices. It appears in schools through examination malpractice, in businesses through dishonesty, in churches through manipulation, in homes through deception, and even in personal lives through compromise. Many ask, "Who will save our nation?" God's answer is clear: He changes people before He changes nations. God's solution to corruption is not merely better laws—it is transformed hearts. > 2 Chronicles 7:14 – "If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land." KEY BIBLE PASSAGES 1. Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness lifts a nation; corruption brings shame and destruction. 2. Micah 6:8 "He has shown you... what is good: to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God." God demands justice, mercy, and humility—not exploitation. 3. Luke 19:1–10 (Zacchaeus) A corrupt tax collector encountered Jesus, repented, restored what he had stolen, and became a changed man. This shows that genuine repentance produces visible transformation. 4. Exodus 18:21 Moses was instructed to appoint leaders who were: Able God-fearing Truthful Haters of dishonest gain Godly leadership begins with godly character. POINT 1: GOD CHANGES THE HEART BEFORE HE CHANGES THE NATION > Ezekiel 36:26 Corruption begins inside the heart before it appears in society. A greedy heart will produce dishonest hands. A selfish heart will create unjust systems. God's answer is a new heart. Religion alone cannot cure corruption. Only Christ can. Spiritual Insight: Every national problem is first a spiritual problem. POINT 2: INTEGRITY IS GOD'S CURRENCY > Proverbs 11:3 Integrity means doing what is right when nobody is watching. God blesses honest people. Dishonest gain may produce temporary wealth but permanent sorrow. Many have money but no peace. Integrity attracts God's favor. Joseph refused corruption in Potiphar's house. Daniel refused compromise in Babylon. Their integrity eventually promoted them. POINT 3: REPENTANCE MUST PRODUCE RESTITUTION Zacchaeus did not merely say, "Lord, forgive me." He also said, "If I have cheated anyone, I restore fourfold." True repentance repairs damaged relationships whenever possible. Where there is genuine repentance: Lies stop. Bribery stops. Fraud stops. Oppression stops. Grace changes behavior. POINT 4: BELIEVERS ARE THE LIGHT AGAINST DARKNESS > Matthew 5:13–16 The church must not imitate the corruption around it. Believers should be known for: Honesty Transparency Faithfulness Accountability Justice We cannot condemn corruption publicly while practicing dishonesty privately. Your office should become better because you work there. Your business should reflect heaven's values. Your family should demonstrate integrity. BIBLICAL CASE STUDY ZACCHAEUS (Luke 19:1–10) Zacchaeus became rich through dishonest practices. People hated him because of corruption. Then Jesus entered his house. One encounter with Christ changed everything. Instead of stealing more, he started giving. Instead of cheating, he started restoring. Jesus concluded, "Today salvation has come to this house." Salvation transformed both his heart and his conduct. REAL-LIFE ILLUSTRATION A contractor was offered a large government contract on the condition that he paid a bribe. He refused because of his Christian conviction. He lost the contract. Months later, investigators uncovered widespread corruption involving that project. Because he had remained honest, his reputation stayed intact, and he was later entrusted with an even greater opportunity. Integrity may seem costly today, but it often protects and rewards tomorrow. PRACTICAL ACTION STEPS 1. Refuse every form of bribery and dishonesty. 2. Be truthful in your workplace, business, and family. 3. Return what does not belong to you if possible. 4. Teach your children that character is more valuable than quick wealth. 5. Pray regularly for righteous leaders and for God's mercy upon your nation. 6. Let your daily life reflect Christ wherever you are. DEEP SPIRITUAL INSIGHTS Corruption flourishes where the fear of God disappears. Integrity is worship in everyday life. National revival begins with personal repentance. God is more interested in holy people than merely prosperous people. Lasting change comes through transformed hearts empowered by the Holy Spirit. QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION 1. Are there areas of compromise in my own life? 2. Would people describe me as trustworthy? 3. Am I willing to lose money rather than lose my integrity? 4. Does my lifestyle honor Christ in public and in private? 5. What example am I leaving for the next generation? PRAYER POINTS 1. Father, create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me. 2. Lord, deliver me from every spirit of greed, dishonesty, and compromise. 3. Give me the courage to stand for truth even when it is costly. 4. Raise righteous leaders in our churches, communities, and nation. 5. Heal our land from corruption and injustice. 6. Let revival begin in my heart, my family, and my generation. 7. Make me a shining light of integrity wherever You place me. 8. Let righteousness exalt our nation once again. CALL TO ACTION God's answer to corruption is not merely stricter laws or harsher punishments. His answer is changed hearts, righteous living, and courageous believers who refuse to compromise. The world does not simply need more intelligent people—it needs more people of integrity. When Christians walk in truth, they become salt that preserves society and light that exposes darkness. Today, make a fresh commitment: Choose righteousness over riches, integrity over influence, and obedience over compromise. As we surrender our hearts to Christ, He can use us to bring healing to our homes, our churches, and our nation. Closing Scripture: "The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity." — Proverbs 11:3 May God raise a generation that cannot be bought, cannot be intimidated, and cannot be corrupted, for His glory. Amen. If you have not given your life to Jesus kindly do so by joining a Bible believing Church.

‎*Bible study Title: The Mystery of Mercy*  ‎*Text: Lamentations 3:22-23* – _“It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”_  ‎*Theme:* Mercy is God’s kindness we don’t qualify for, but it sustains us, and calls us to extend it to others. ‎ ‎--- ‎ ‎*Introduction: What Is Mercy?* ‎*Mercy means the timely renewal of Gods compassion*  ‎ ‎*Mercy is the kindness of God to a man*  ‎*A kindness that a man does not qualify for.*  ‎*But for God we are not qualified yet he shows us kindness*  ‎ ‎*Mercy is that kindness of the lord that witholds punishment*  ‎ ‎*Mercy talks about the forgiveness of sin*  ‎*Mercy talks about the release of the suffering of sin*  ‎ ‎_Boost:_ Just like the air we breathe, mercy keeps us alive when we should have been judged. That’s why the psalmist said _“great is thy faithfulness”_ every morning. Mercy is God’s refusal to give us what we deserve. ‎ ‎--- ‎ ‎*1. To Live In Mercy Is To Partner With God* ‎*1= To live in mercy is to partner with the lord who is rich in mercy.. When a man shows mercy he has displayed the nature and character of God*  ‎ ‎*2= When we show mercy we are only given an offender what he does not deserve, what he is not qualified for..*  ‎ ‎*Anyone you show mercy you are stronger and more holy than that man (Ephesians 2:4-5)*  ‎_“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ”_  ‎ ‎*Showing mercy can be painful and costly but it is worth it*  ‎ ‎_Boost:_ Ephesians 2:4-5 shows us God’s pattern. We were dead in sin, but He showed mercy. When you show mercy, you are acting like God. The cross was painful and costly, yet it was worth it. That’s the model of mercy. ‎ ‎--- ‎ ‎*3 Parts Ways Of Mercy* ‎ ‎*1= You must love the ministry of mercy (Micah 6:8)*  ‎_“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?”_  ‎*Any man that must show mercy must begin by loving mercy* ‎ ‎_Boost:_ Loving mercy means your heart breaks for people the way God’s heart breaks. Mercy is not a duty. It’s a delight. ‎ ‎*2= Learn the ministry of mercy (Luke 6:36)*  ‎_“Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.”_  ‎*Every man shall know how to be merciful it is a learning process.* ‎ ‎_Boost:_ Jesus didn’t say “be perfect first.” He said “be merciful like your Father.” You learn mercy by practicing it — in your home, church, and workplace. ‎ ‎*3= You will reap the reward of mercy (Matthew 5:7)*  ‎_“Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.”_  ‎*Therefore if you dont show mercy, no mercy for you. (James 2:13)*  ‎_“For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.”_  ‎*The reward of mercy are for those who has shown mercy* ‎ ‎_Boost:_ Mercy is a seed. What you sow to others, God sows back to you in your time of need. The merciful are called “blessed” because heaven backs them. ‎ ‎--- ‎ ‎*Quick Ways To Show Mercy* ‎*1= Be patient with people... especially mostly those who are not like you.*  ‎ ‎*2= Always help those who are hurting*  ‎ ‎*3= Learn to give people a second chance or chances.*  ‎ ‎*4= Be kind to those who offend you.*  ‎ ‎*5= Reach out with love to very difficult people*  ‎ ‎*6= Learn to value relationship over rules.* ‎ ‎_Boost:_ Jesus modeled all 6. He was patient with Peter, He healed the hurting, He gave the woman caught in sin a second chance, He was kind to those who crucified Him, He reached out to Zacchaeus, and He chose people over the Sabbath rules. ‎ ‎--- ‎ ‎*Conclusion: Mercy Is Heaven’s Restoration Agenda* ‎*Mercy is the restoration agenda for heaven*  ‎ ‎*The bank of mercy and kindness lent you an overdraft in the time of adversity*  ‎ ‎*2 Samuel 9:1* – _“And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake?”_  ‎ ‎_Boost:_ David didn’t owe Mephibosheth anything. But for Jonathan’s sake, he showed kindness. That’s mercy. Because of Jesus’ sake, God shows us mercy even in our weakness. Heaven’s agenda is not to destroy you, but to restore you. ‎ ‎*prayer point*   ‎Today, receive the timely renewal of God’s compassion. And ask God: _“Lord, make me a vessel of mercy. Teach me to love mercy, learn mercy, and reap mercy.”_ ‎ #Son_Of_Man #JesusMustBeenSeen #SaveAsoul #GospelPreacher ‎

Hello, I would like to share with you the message from 1 July 2026 from “The Good Seed” daily calendar. And he sought to see who Jesus was. (Luke 19:3) Zacchaeus Zacchaeus had achieved something in his life: he had become a wealthy chief tax collector. But neither money nor his professional success could fulfil all his desires. When he heard that Jesus, the Son of God, was coming to Jericho, he wanted to get to know Him. – Are you also under the impression that possessions and success ultimately don’t make you happy?  People obstructed Zacchaeus’ view of Jesus because they were taller than him. But this determined man overcame this obstacle. He wasn’t afraid of people’s opinions but simply climbed up a sycamore tree. – Whenever you want to get to know the Lord Jesus Christ because you sense that He can give you what you long for, people will get in your way and try to stop you. Don’t let them deter you! Overcome your fear of people and start reading the Bible! In this book, you’ll find out who Jesus Christ really is.  When Jesus came to the tree where Zacchaeus was, He looked up and spoke to him: “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house” (Luke 19:5). Zacchaeus joyfully welcomed Jesus into his house and believed in Him.  The Lord Jesus Christ knows if you are seeking a relationship with Him. Just as He met the tax collector Zacchaeus back then, He wants to meet you today. Of course, no visible figure will appear to you, yet He wants to reveal Himself to you and come into your life. The four gospels provide detailed accounts of Him, so that everyone has the opportunity to be convinced of the uniqueness of this person. But it mustn’t remain a casual reading. When we recognise Him as the Saviour and entrust ourselves to Him, we will realise that He Himself is the answer to all our questions and desires. Today’s reading: Leviticus 15:1-33 – Psalms 63:1-11
