Monday Encouragement — Our Sovereign God Still Reigns Blessings, dear brothers and sisters in Christ. As we begin another week, the condition of our world has not suddenly changed. Wars and rumors of wars continue, nations struggle with uncertainty, economies create anxiety, and political leaders offer countless plans and promises for solving the problems confronting humanity. Yet as followers of Jesus Christ, we must continually remind ourselves of one unchanging truth: Our sovereign God is still upon His throne. Our hope must never rest upon presidents, prime ministers, governments, political parties, military strength, or human wisdom. God may certainly use leaders and nations to accomplish His purposes, but Scripture reminds us that ultimately He alone rules over the affairs of mankind. “For the kingdom is the LORD’S: and he is the governor among the nations.” — Psalm 22:28 Therefore, we should not allow every headline or political development to control our peace. Instead, Scripture commands us to pray for those in authority. We pray that God will grant them wisdom, restrain evil, protect the innocent, and accomplish His sovereign purposes through them—even when they themselves may not recognize His hand. “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority…” — 1 Timothy 2:1–2 There is an important difference between being informed about the world and being consumed by it. We should care deeply about suffering, injustice, war, poverty, and the difficulties facing our neighbors. But we must never carry these burdens as though the future depended entirely upon human beings. Instead, take them to the throne of grace. Pray for our nation. Pray for the nations of the world. Pray for those in authority. Pray for peace. Pray for the persecuted Church. Pray that doors will continue opening for the Gospel. And above all, pray that men and women everywhere will repent of their sins and turn to Jesus Christ. Whatever happens this week, remember: God has not surrendered His authority. Christ is still Lord. His Word remains true. His purposes cannot be defeated. Let us therefore begin this week not with fear, but with prayer; not trusting in human power, but resting confidently in our sovereign God. “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” — Psalm 46:10 May the Lord keep our eyes fixed upon Christ and make us faithful witnesses of His Gospel in an anxious and troubled world. Serving Christ Together for His Glory Alone. Soli Deo Gloria.

*SEED FOR LIFE* There is nothing better for a man than to eat and drink and assure himself that there is good in his labour. Even this, I have seen, is from the hand of God. • Ecclesiastes 2:24 *King James Version:* There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God. For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I? At creation, labour was appointed as a blessing. It meant development, power, happiness... though the curse of sin has brought a change in the conditions of labour, it is still a source of happiness and development. It is a safeguard against temptation. Its discipline places a check on self-indulgence and promotes industry, purity, and firmness. Thus, it becomes a part of God’s great plan for our recovery from the fall. • Education, p.214 *• A Point To Ponder •* Work is not merely a means of survival; it is a gift from God. It points us to Christ, who Himself spent most of His earthly life as a carpenter. He dignified honest labour by His own example. _(FrontierOfHopeMinistry)_

Thursday, 13th August, 2026 TITLE: "WAIT FOR GOD'S TIMING AND NEVER GIVE UP" ANCHOR SCRIPTURE(S) Habakkuk 2:3 (KJV) "For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry." Galatians 6:9 (KJV) "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." QUOTE TO REFLECT ON "God's promises may take time, but His timing is never late." DAY'S REFLECTION There are seasons when we pray, work, wait, and wonder why the answer has not yet come. Habakkuk 2:3 reminds us that God's vision has an appointed time. What God has promised may not happen according to our preferred schedule, but His timing is purposeful and certain. The word "vision" represents what God has revealed or promised concerning His purpose. "Appointed time" reminds us that God has a specific season for its fulfilment. When Scripture says, "though it tarry, wait for it," we are being encouraged not to abandon faith simply because the answer seems delayed. Waiting on God is not wasting time. It is a season of preparation, strengthening, character development, and deeper dependence on Him. Sometimes God is preparing the blessing; sometimes He is preparing us for the blessing. Paul gives a similar encouragement in Galatians 6:9: "Let us not be weary in well doing." To become weary means to lose strength, enthusiasm, or determination. Life can make us tired, especially when we continue doing what is right without immediately seeing results. Yet God promises that "in due season we shall reap." The phrase "due season" teaches us that harvest has a proper time. A farmer does not abandon the field simply because the seed has not produced fruit immediately. He continues watering, cultivating, and waiting. Likewise, our prayers, obedience, service, kindness, and faithful labour are seeds whose harvest belongs to God's timing. The final instruction is powerful: "if we faint not." Do not quit at the point of breakthrough. Do not allow delay to turn into discouragement. Continue praying. Continue believing. Continue doing good. Continue trusting God. Whatever you are waiting for today, place it in God's hands. His delay is not His denial, and His silence does not mean He has forgotten you. The vision will speak at the appointed time, and the harvest will come if you refuse to give up. MEDITATION SCRIPTURE(S) Psalm 27:14 (KJV) "Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD." Isaiah 40:31 (KJV) "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." LIFE LESSONS (IMPLICATIONS) 1. God's promises have appointed seasons for fulfilment. 2. Delays can be seasons of preparation rather than rejection. 3. Faithfulness requires perseverance when results are not immediate. 4. Those who continue doing good will eventually reap God's appointed harvest. 5. Never give up simply because the answer has not yet appeared. EVERYDAY ACTION Keep praying, keep doing good, and keep trusting God's timing without giving up. PRAYER Father, give me patience to wait for Your appointed time and strength not to become weary. Help me remain faithful until I see the fulfilment of Your promises. In Jesus' name, Amen. DECLARATION I will not give up. I trust God's appointed time. I will remain faithful, continue doing good, and reap my harvest in due season. God's promises concerning my life shall surely come to pass. Amen. Devotion by Rev.

THE MONEY’S MIND The Money Is a Person By Omodolapo Ogunye Before we can properly discuss money, wealth, finance and economics, there is a more fundamental question we must ask: Who is the Money? We have been taught to think of money as a thing—a currency, an asset, a medium of exchange, a store of value. But Scripture gives us another way of seeing. In Song of Solomon 5:11, the Beloved is described: “His head is purest gold.” This is a remarkable description. Gold is precious. Gold carries value. Gold has been used throughout human civilisation as a store of wealth and a monetary asset. Yet in this passage, gold is not merely an economic object. Gold is used to describe a Person. And the Scriptures testify that the Person of the Word is revealed throughout Scripture. Jesus said: “These are the Scriptures that testify about me.” — John 5:39 This gives us the foundation for The Money’s Mind: The Money is a Person. The Money is the Word. And if the Money is the Word, then the Money has a Mind. The question, therefore, is no longer simply: “What is money?” The deeper question becomes: “What is the Mind of the Word concerning money, wealth, finance and economics?” --- THE BODY OF THE WORD IS ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL This revelation becomes even more significant when we examine the descriptions of the Body of the Word. In Revelation 1, John sees the glorified Christ with feet like bronze glowing in a furnace and eyes like blazing fire. His feet reveal a way. His eyes reveal sight. His head, in Song of Solomon, is described as purest gold. We therefore begin to see three dimensions of the Body of the Word: The Word has a way. The Word has sight. The Word has an economic and financial identity. The Word is therefore not disconnected from the material and economic realities of the earth. The Word has implications for how we see value, how we build, how we produce, how we steward resources, how we create wealth and how nations develop their economic capacity. This is why the economic revelation of the Word cannot be reduced to a collection of biblical principles about giving, saving or prosperity. The revelation is about a Person. --- THE MONEY HAS A MIND Every economic system has a mind behind it. Markets operate according to assumptions about value. Businesses operate according to ideas about production and human need. Investments are based on judgments about the future. Governments make economic decisions according to their understanding of resources, productivity and national development. There is always a mind behind the money. But The Money’s Mind asks us to look beyond the minds that govern earthly financial systems. What is the Mind of the Word? How does the Word understand value? How does the Word understand wealth? How does the Word understand productivity? How does the Word understand resources? How does the Word create enduring wealth? How does the Word enter the economic environments of nations? These are not merely financial questions. They are questions about the Person of the Word. --- THE ECONOMIC WAY OF GOD Proverbs 3:16 says: “In her left hand are riches and honor.” Proverbs 8:18 says: “With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity.” The language is unmistakably economic. But the Scriptures testify of the Person of the Word. Therefore, riches, honor, wealth and prosperity must be understood within the wisdom and order revealed through Him. This changes the way we think about wealth. The question is no longer merely: How can I acquire money? It becomes: What wisdom produces wealth that can endure? There is a difference between possessing money and possessing the capacity to create value. There is a difference between receiving wealth and possessing the wisdom to preserve, multiply and transmit it. There is a difference between financial success and enduring economic capacity. The Word therefore presents an economic way that goes beyond immediate accumulation. It points toward enduring wealth. --- THE MONEY’S MIND This is the reason for the title of this series. The Money is not merely a thing. The Money is a Person. The Money is the Word. And therefore: The Money has a Mind. The Money’s Mind is an exploration of the economic and financial Mind of the Word—the revelation of the Word concerning value, wealth, productivity, finance and the economic destinies of nations. The starting point is therefore not: “Where is the money? It is: “Who is the Money?” Because when we discover the Person, we can begin to discover the Mind. And when we discover the Mind, we can begin to understand the Way. The Body of the Word is the economic and financial way of the Lord. The Money is the Word. And The Money’s Mind is the Mind of the Word. --- Omodolapo Ogunye THE MONEY’S MIND The Body of the Word as Finance & Economics The Kitchen Listen to The Kitchen on Amazon Music. Apple podcasts.
