Blessed morning beloved hope you are doing great today Rejoice because Jesus has has already won the battle You already have victory over the enemy. And the only way he wins is if you let him! “The reason the son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s works.” (1John 3:8) “For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” (Colossian1:13) “Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death, he may break the power of him who holds the power of death – that is the devil.” (Hebrews 2:14) “And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of burning sulphur where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown down. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.” (Revelation 20:10) Remember, God has victory in your life. Even if the enemy tries to delay the plan, it is still going to happen

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. 😀🌹🎀🎁💝🌺 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY THURSDAY JULY 23, 2026. "DON'T LOSE YOUR COMPASSIONATE EDGE (2)" '…When He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them…’ Matthew 9:36 NKJV CHRIST’S CONCERN for a hurting world revealed itself in two ways: condemnation towards those who took advantage of others and compassion towards those who couldn’t help themselves. One time He took a whip and threw the money changers out of the temple; another time He healed the sick and fed the hungry. There’s a lesson here: you can become complacent and say, ‘I know there’s trouble in the world. It’s regrettable. But as long as it doesn’t touch me personally, I’d prefer not to think about it. Cheating goes on every day in business and politics. That’s just the way things are.’ Like the priest and the Levite in the story of the Good Samaritan, you ‘pass by on the other side’ (Luke 10:30-36). The sad fact is that even churches that faithfully preach the Word and win souls (two all-important missions) fail in this area. Why? Because they’re afraid of being identified with those who promote a ‘social gospel’. But the opposite should concern us! ‘If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity…how can the love of God be in him?…Let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth’ (1John 3:17-18 NIV). What moves you? Success in business? Building a great family? Excelling in ministry? Those are worthy goals, but if you want to know what moved Christ, read this: ‘When He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion.’ So don’t lose your compassionate edge.

L. Moody, observed that "Consecration is only possible when we give up our will about EVERYTHING." This may explain why most professing Christians shy away from true consecration. For some others, consecration should be moderated in such a manner as not to exceed the boundary set by "common sense".* *Abraham, as seen in today's text, demonstrated a high level of consecration. To a normal person, God's command to him to offer his son, Isaac, as a sacrifice to him was an invitation to eternal sorrow. But Abraham's love for and devotion to God were more than skin deep. It was such a commitment that was not hinged on any material benefit. The Lord's demand was explicit: "Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest... and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of..." Isaac was an only son whose name meant _laughter,_ a child of promise and therefore very beloved to his parents. Yet Abraham was willing to sacrifice him to God.* *By that act, Abraham's obedience and faith were only being put to the test. He was willing to part with his highest love and hope on earth... to even go on a three-day journey to obey God's extraordinary command. He was moved neither by Isaac's affecting remark nor the thought of how others would react to him. Satisfied that Abraham's devotion to Him was no half measure, God intervened and prevented him from sacrificing Isaac. A lamb was divinely provided in his stead, a pointer to the Lord Jesus Christ, the "Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world".* *As you reflect on all these, consider how you will fare in God's test of obedience and faith. If the Lord today requires your _Isaac_ - whatever constitutes your greatest joy on earth - will you be willing to part with it for God's sake? How much do you love God? Do social and material pursuits stand between you and God? Are you willing to place your prestige on the altar for the Lord? The test is ongoing. Will you pass it?* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*Our commitment to the Lord is determined by how far we are willing to go with Him.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *EXODUS 23-25*📜📜 Costly Consecration https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 85: GIVE OF YOUR BEST TO THE MASTER; GHS 87: TAKE MY LIFE; AND GHS 92: I SURRENDER ALL* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna23rdJuly2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [22/07, 11:01 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```THURSDAY 23RD JULY, 2026``` *THE DIVIDEND OF DILIGENCE* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️💪🏽💰💴💵🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽🙌🏽 📜📜```TEXT:PROVERBS 10:1-5```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich" (PROVERBS 10:4).*_ *George Washington Carver wisely said, "There is no shortcut to achievement. Life requires thorough preparation, veneer isn't worth anything." Similarly, Thomas Edison reminds us, "Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration."* *Proverbs 10:4 tells us, "He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich." This powerful verse reminds us that diligence in our work leads to rewards, while laziness brings failure. As youths, we often face the temptation to seek shortcuts or to delay our efforts, but the Bible teaches us that true success comes from being faithful and diligent in whatever we do.* *Diligence means consistently putting in effort, being disciplined, and staying focused even when the results are not immediate. This teaches us that hard work during the right seasons brings success, while neglecting opportunities leads to regret. Let us be diligent in our studies and daily tasks. When we invest in smart work, we will see the fruit of our labour in time. God honours diligence and rewards those who are faithful in their efforts.* 💬 ```QUOTE:``` _*God honours diligence.*_ 🏆 ```CHALLENGE:``` _*Be diligent.*_ 🙏🏽🙏🏽 ```PRAYER:``` _*Lord, bless my efforts to succeed.*_ The Dividend Of Diligence https://dailymanna.app// *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#HigherEveryday23rdJuly2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [22/07, 11:01 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*(SINCERE MILK: Children Daily Devotional Guide 2⃣0⃣2⃣6️⃣)*_ 🙇🏼🙇🏼🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇🏼🙇‍♀️🙇🏼🙇‍♀️🙇🏼‍♂️ ```THURSDAY 23RD JULY, 2026``` *HONOURED BY GOD* 📓📖🎚️🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽✨🏆🥇🎖️🙌🏽 📜📜```LEVITICUS 26:9-12```📜📜 🕔📚🖋️🚻😁🎼🏆🍉🪴🌈💻 🔑📖 ```Key Verse:``` _*"For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you" (Leviticus 26:9).*_ 📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖 A story was told of a girl called Queen.

How can it be that the One we are commanded to respect and honour now promises to honour us - His creatures? There is nothing God cannot do for a child whose life pleases Him.

And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? 8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. 9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. 10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. 11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. *Timeless Truth:*_"And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment"_ (Mark 12:30). *INTRODUCTION* God demands perfect love from the saints just as He had demonstrated His perfect love for man. He requested Abraham to *"walk before me and be thou perfect"* (Genesis 17:1). Jesus also emphasised that the first commandment, broadly speaking, has to do with perfect love for God (Mark 12:30). It is easier for man to profess love for someone without actually, having or demonstrating that love. Great blessings of God, especially those that are earned and not just unmerited, are based on our love for God. True love for God, beyond mere mouth profession, must be tested by God to ascertain its genuineness. It is necessary for man so that man will see himself the way God sees him and not his mere mouth profession. Abraham, did not just profess love for God, He actually, manifested it and great generational blessings followed. *1. Costly Test: Futuristic Significance* a. Abraham had passed through many things that demanded great sacrifices for God. It started with God asking him to leave his country to a strange land that he had never been to. At a point, he had to also separate from his nephew, Lot that he loved so much. The climax of the sacrifice that God expected from him was the sacrifice of his only promised son. It was a test of his professed perfect love for God. The greater the divine blessings coming the way of anyone, the more severe and demanding is the test of love for God that must be passed. Don't be worried about the trials of faith and divine demands, focus on the blessings, both temporal and eternal, that await you. b. *"And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt (or test) Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am"*. Abraham was always available to God without giving any excuse at any time. To him, God is first and every other engagement is secondary. Can you think of what God asked Abraham to do? First, Abraham understood that it was God speaking and not a stranger. Believers should be well groomed in the Bible and in hearing from God that they can discern the voice of God from other voices. *"And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah"*. The divine emphasis was to help Abraham to see the gravity of the sacrifice so that he would be able to make an informed and not just sentimental or emotional decision. *"And offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of"*. Abraham, from his first encounter with God knew that if God would tell him to go anywhere, he would not tell him the exact place as at the first. When he was called to leave his country, he was just told to take off to a land he would show him. God repeated this same mode here. Always watch for the way God uses to lead you. It may not be the same way He leads others. Did Abraham know that it was a test? The context does not show that. This is how man's test is different from that of God. In most cases, when a divine test comes unannounced, the tested will not know that it is a test from God. However, it is a test of his love for God and faith in God. *Question* How is this a test of his faith and a test of his love for God? *2. Courageous Triumph: Faith Sacrifice* a. Human sacrifice was condemned by God and that was one of the reasons the land of Canaan was overthrown. Interestingly, Abraham counted himself too small to question God since he had no doubt that it was from God. Unquestioning and immediate obedience to God is one of the evidences of our love and faith in God. Willingness to sacrifice your most loved "Isaac" without looking back is true spirituality in action. *"Abraham rose up early in the morning..."* Obviously, he did not tell the wife and all those who could have discouraged him. He had known in his walk with God that God would never do evil but bless. He practiced the consecration of the New Testament saints where in Luke 14:26 Jesus said it is only those who can sacrifice all their relationships for Christ that can be His disciples. *"On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off"*. Three days was enough for Abraham to have a rethink, but his mind was fixed. Those who love God have a fixed mind which cannot be swayed by any relation or public opinion. Abraham also did not allow his young men to go far with him because they could also use emotions to discourage him from doing the will of God. *"And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you"*. The consecrated are not seeking human sympathy. Their song is "I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back". b. Abraham decided to go alone with Isaac to the place of sacrifice. Isaac was about 19+ years of age at this time. So, he could carry the wood and other things. He was intelligent enough to ask his father questions. *"And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"*. This question could force tears and emotions from Abraham, but Abraham was determined to obey God at all cost. Isaac himself had strong faith and confidence in his father and of course in his God, so he did not rebel. He behaved like Jesus who *"....he is brought as a Lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth"* (Isaiah 53:7). b. Abraham was a man of faith truly. The New Testament says that he believed God will resurrect Isaac because the promise of God for him was based on Isaac being alive (Hebrews 11: 19). Our consecration to God is a function of our faith in God. When there is strong faith in God as a faithful Rewarder now in time and eternity; when there is faith in the pronounced promises and promised eternity, consecration becomes very easy. *"And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering"*. The father exercised perfect love and faith in God while the son likewise demonstrated perfect voluntary obedience. *"And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son"*. *Question* Do you have the faith of Abraham and Isaac? *3. Compensation for the Trustworthy: Faithful Saviour* Abraham was totally ignorant of the purpose of the test that it was beyond him and that God wanted to use it for a generational lesson. Apart from the test of his faith and love for Him, it was meant to present a figure of the coming Son of God who voluntarily submitted Himself to sacrifice for the salvation of the whole world. It was to present the gospel in the Old Testament. He really wanted to sacrifice his son before *"the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I"*. What did Abraham lose by his uncommon consecration? Nothing. What did he gain? Revelation of the gospel and confirmation of generational blessings. No sacrifice should be too big for a true child of God. It is always a blessing in disguise. There are always reciprocal blessings when you love God purely and perfectly above all else. God will always lavish the blessings of heaven on you in return. *Question* Are you ready to fully love God perfectly and always be willing to consecrate anything God demands without questioning? *Prayer Points* 1.Father circumcise my heart to love You perfectly 🙏. 2.Give me grace to be willing that nothing will be too much to consecrate to You 🙏. 3.Give me the faith of Abraham that always looks beyond the present but focuses on Your promises 🙏. 4.Father, Take all Your children deeper in the love of Jesus🙏. *HYMN:* Nothing Between *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* EXODUS 23-25. 2. Morning Prayer for today. MP.i. Morning Prayer A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

From everlasting to everlasting, You are God. We want to make You the home of our hearts. We aren’t truly at home in this world because it isn’t secure. Everything here passes away.

Help us see the best in each other and give the best of our love to one another. May our home life today be tender and affectionate. Fill us with Your divine love so that our hearts and lips will overflow and that everything lovely will grow within us. You know our special needs, and we ask for personal blessings. Forgive us all our sins. Comfort us in our sorrows. Give us a blessing now as we go out into the world. May we live in such a way that we are constantly receiving from Jesus and then giving out the good things of divine love. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/18/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

I’m writing this a week after Good Friday,this week we paused to remember all of Who Jesus was as we took communion together ! it was special time , but one particular aspect stood out to me . Standing right in front of me , serving communion was a woman named Chris she could have done anything she could have done anything on that Friday night , but she came to serve , and the simple act of holding out a basket of bread and offering a small cup of grape juice with the accompanying words , the Body and Bood of Christ was a sacred thing to see . I was so deeply touched by her service . I was grateful that she gave like Jesus . At the core of my faith is this simple truth ! Following Jesus means becoming like Jesus .And Jesus was a servant . His entire mission was centered on serving humanity and giving His life for others .That’s not just something He died it’s who He is . if I want to follow Him I have to embrace that same identity Serving is not optinal in the Kingdom of God -it’s essential it’s how I reflect Christ in my everyday life .The apostle John wrore :”Whoever claims to live in Him must live as Jesus did “( 1John 2:6) That verse challenges me . to design my actions with my identity every single day .If I belong to Christ , my life should reflect His character , and I should serve just as He did . Serving becomes a daily decision not just in big moments , but in small moments , but in small everyday acts of love and kindness .Think about how we change the world , if we served like Jesus Today , I commit to living like Jesu serving like Jesus will you Join me ? Let’s pray together . Jesus , I want my life to reflect yours .Teach me to serve with humility love with sincerity and live with purpose .Help me to follow Your example in every area of my life .Make me more like You each day .ij Your name .amen !Never forget my friend ,You are a miracle !-Grant Fishbook (A Miracle Everyday )

I SAW THE NEW EARTH AND NEW HEAVEN AND THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT by Thiago Owerton Revelation of the rapture of the church, the Lamb supper in the New Jerusalem. The revelation you hear was given to Brother Thiago Owerton by Jesus Himself on the Third of May 2014 so that the world would wake up about what is to come. Jesus is coming back On that Sunday night, I was on my knees around my bed asking for forgiveness for my mistakes, thanking God for everything. Then I slept. I remember that night I was very cold and it was raining a lot. Then I had fallen asleep around two in the morning. It was around four in the morning, I knew it because I saw the clock in the kitchen indicating the time. I do not know how to explain what followed. Suddenly someone burst into my room and he woke me up. I did not feel my body which was laying on the bed. I realized that I was awake and not in the body but rather in the spirit. Then a supernatural force took me to the hill next to my house. And when I opened my eyes, I realized that I was on the hill and it was day, but I did not understand what was happening on the hill. There was still fog on top of the hill and the city was still sleeping. I hardly heard noises, only the wind blowing and the birds singing. I suddenly heard soft music with their sounds almost like a flute. It shifted my whole body. I looked up from the city to the sky and I saw a being of light in the form of an angel. He was descending from Heaven as if he was floating and hovering over. I was just curious to know who was that brilliant and resplendent being who was coming towards me. I was still watching him approaching close to me. He was floating without touching the ground. He wore a white robe, his face shone brightly like the sun but I noticed an impressive radiance and glow on his face and my eyes could look at him without getting hurt. His countenance was a great light. Then he looked at me and smiled at me. His voice was the most beautiful that I've ever heard in my entire life. It was sweet. At the moment he told me, “You invoked the Lord who searches the heart. He sent me to show you things that are hidden and things that people never imagined.” The moment he touched me, I was transported thousands of kilometers away. In seconds, I was taken to many places of the Earth. And in seconds, from there, I have seen incredible things that have changed my life forever. The Angel of the Lord took my hand and we quickly flew out together towards the center of the planet Earth to a country called Croatia. He took me to a street where I was seeing a procession. I saw that there were many people worshiping idols there. I realized at that moment that people were passing in front of me. They did not see me. I was with the angel observing people from a window. They could not see us. I was not only accompanied by the angel, I was also accompanied by my wife and my son Michael who today is four years old, but in the vision, he appears to be seven years of age. I realized that in this vision we were in the future time. We were observing the future from a window. There was also a child that had white hair smooth with curly ends. The angel instructed the 11-year boy and my son to step out of the window in the physical reality and evangelize. He said to them, “Chosen Ones, go to the midst of the people and evangelize.” They both came out in the middle of the procession and began to preach the Word of God. But people seemed to bother with the presence of little Michael, who was talking about the love of Jesus and trying to deliver the brochures to all the people that were there. I saw people pushing him and trying to assault my child who was so small and helpless. The Spirit of God did not let that happen. My son returned to the spiritual window where I was and he was sad with tears. He looked at me for comfort and he shook the head as if he was trying to tell me, “Dad, I could not evangelize. They did not want to hear the words of salvation. They did not want to understand the love of Jesus in their lives.” Then the angel smiled at him and took the leaflets from his hand and caressed his head. Then he looked at me and said, “Take the leaflets Son of Man, go to the crowd and evangelize.” Immediately I was overwhelmed by a strong desire to speak of the love of Jesus to all without fear. I went out of the window where I started to speak up in a loud voice, “Jesus is coming back, Jesus is coming back. He is the hope of the world. Repent and accept Him as the Savior of your lives.” But nobody wanted to hear that. Many of the people were heading in my direction to attack me. They said, “Arrest this Christian. He deserves to die. We do not want your Jesus because we have our gods.” At that moment, I saw the crowd coming into my direction to kill me. I was very scared and when I closed my eyes, I felt my body flying as fast as the speed of light. When I opened my eyes again, I was inside the spiritual window with the angel who smiled at me. My wife, my son and my little girl, were looking out from the window. I saw Croatia no more. We were somewhere else in another country in a square full of people and there was a party. At that moment, I realized that we were in France. We tried to evangelize. But the beautiful people called me crazy and the crowd screamed, “Kill this Christian. And let's see if Jesus that he preaches will save him. Because we don't need to be saved from anything. We are well.” Then all these people began to run in my direction with great fury to kill me. I once again felt the power of the Spirit of God pulling me into the spiritual window and took me to another place. When I opened my eyes, I was in another place. I remember that the climate was hot. The day was clear without clouds in the sky. I knew I was in the Middle East. When I looked in front of me there was a multitude of bodies on the ground and I was in the midst of all those bodies. The bodies were mutilated, and I saw decapitated heads. Charred bodies were rotting with very strong smell. I knew that all these bodies belong to Christians, people who have been killed because they have proclaimed the Word of God. When I turned to look, I saw war. I saw people killing each other with machine guns and all kinds of weapons. I went into the middle of the war and saw that those who fought were Jews and Muslims and other peoples as well. So I began to shout aloud the Gospel of the Lord Jesus, but no one cared. Then I saw men running in my direction to kill me. Suddenly, I was taken back by the Spirit to my city. I was in a small church near my house. I was preaching God's Word to all those people that were there. I remember screaming loudly to everyone to repent of their sins because Jesus is coming back. People here were saved but they were carnal. They did not humble themselves to repent. I shouted to them to repent or they will be sentenced to eternal death. But they were accustomed to hearing the Word of God so they did not pay attention. They hardened their hearts. Many of them didn't respect the house of the Lord. They were chewing gum while others gossiped. They talked to each other and others were laughing and mocking me in their heart. I did not care about that. I shouted louder so that they should repent. I shouted, “Jesus is coming back!” but they did not hear. They were there only with their bodies, but their minds were far from the Lord. In that moment, I began to feel a strong presence of God. My heart was beating fast, and I started to shake while I was still preaching. Suddenly, I saw a strong light entering the gate of the church. A couple sitting in the crowd saw it as well. Together, we began to contemplate that light. No one else could see the light except the three of us. Inside the light, I saw a white cloud heading in my direction. At that moment, I was sure that Jesus had returned to take the chosen ones to eternal life. I started to cry and I shouted to the people with all my strength, “Jesus has returned. Repent for the love of God. Repent from your sin.” With a sad heart, I saw that crowd bursting into laughter and mocking me. Then I fell on my knees crying out to God for all these people listening to me. At that moment I also saw the cry of the Lord and the couple who were standing in the crowd. And then came a voice from Heaven like the sound of thunder. It was heard throughout the whole planet. The voice said, “The end is here.” At that moment the Earth stopped turning, the time stopped and a great earthquake happened. Then all the wicked and sinners fell to the ground with much violence. I began to hear people in the church calling the name of the Lord. They shouted to the Lord out loud for forgiveness, saying there were sorry, but it was too late. For this reason, you also must be ready because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him. The cloud of light in this church took two babies and also the couple that stood up. We began to float within the church. People got scared when they saw this. At that moment, I felt my body becoming light as if there was a force pulling me in the air in a horizontal trajectory out of the church. At that moment, despair took over all the people that were left there in the church. I saw young adults, couples, and parents in and out of the church in all places in despair because they understood that we were going up. Then several people clung to my legs with their hands, saying, “I want to go. Take me with you. I played with Jesus, please forgive me.” I began to pray because all of them were on me. As a result, they were no longer able to bear the power of God. A force dragged me outside the church and pulled me up. When I looked down, I saw many that were left behind. They were in full agony and despair. I realized that many were coming up beside me everywhere, but they were far fewer than those who are left behind, maybe 1000 times less than those who were behind. What I witnessed was scary. I saw people running from one side to another in total confusion. The crowd was crying out for forgiveness, but there was no hope. I still cried for all the lost souls. When I was rising in the clouds, a ray of light emerged and touched my forehead. As a result, I receive a new name that was in that ray of light. I do not know what was written. But when I was touched by this ray of light, I felt the power of God passing through my body. Suddenly my garments were changed and I acquired a garment that was whiter than snow. And I noticed that I was wearing sandals on my feet that were golden. From my forehead was flowing a glowing light that went down throughout all my body like rain until it reaches the soles of my feet. At that moment, I acquired the ability to fly in that very moment the same ray of light entered in my eyes. As a result I was given the gift of the eye of an eagle. I could fly wherever I wanted to fly. The Bible says that they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings of eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31) I thought I was two meters away, but I noticed that I was already above the clouds. I noticed on my left my son and my wife. I know some of my people were there, but most did not make it. There were people from all parts of the Earth. I was seeing people of various races, languages, colors, and cultures. So I looked down to Portugal again, I saw a church that was in total despair because the shepherd could not be caught in the rapture. He could not fly. I also saw people who never had entered an evangelical church but were rising too and I did not understand. The Angel of the Lord approached me and said, “Remember, the mysteries and the plans of God are not to be understood, but they are to be accepted because He is the Master. The world has given itself to religions. According to your choices, you will receive your reward.” At that moment I saw radiant and resplendent angels of Heaven. They were standing around the opening above the Earth's atmosphere, and they were sounding the trumpets. As a result, a light descended from Heaven and from within the light was a rider and knight who appeared in the light. He was riding a white horse and He was in His golden armor. I saw that it was written on His thigh, “King of kings and Lord of lords.” Then He raised His sword and said, “Everything is finished on the Earth. I'm the Morning Star.” At that moment I saw Michael, the Prince of the Lord’s Armies on the Earth who spoke in an unknown language that I never heard on Earth, but everyone understood his voice. In that tower, all the hills of the Earth fell and there was a great earthquake. I was facing the light of the Lord and my eyes ached. When he spoke, his explosive and thunderous voice was powerful in the ears of all saints who were floating there above the Earth. It was also possible to hear people shouting down on the Earth. They could not bear to look at the light that was the Son of God Himself, whose explosive voice was also heard on the face of the Earth. The wicked could not bear to hear the powerful voice that was so strong. Then I saw behind the Lord objects in queer shapes that looked like spaceships but were not made from a material of the Earth or known to man. The carriages were made of pure power. The celestial chariots of light were made of flames of fire that were adorned with sheer glory and light. They were thousands of thousands of them. Then the supernatural force of the Lord settled a million saints into the carriages of the Celestial chariots of light and fire. Once the angels sealed the doors of the chariots of fire, we started our trip to the eternal kingdom of Heaven. I remember that I saw the sun stopped shining, the moon turned red as blood. We then traveled in a blink of an eye at an incredible speed that it is impossible to describe. Suddenly, we surged into a place similar to a planet that seems 10 times or perhaps 20 times the mass of the Earth. We were beholding a world of glorious light before us. I saw that there was no sun and no moon. There existed no night and no stars shone in the light of day. It was incredible and extraordinary. So we all stood before a huge gate of pearl. The pearly gate there was an immense garden with green grass and many fruits. Then a radiant Angel approached and said, “Enter into the joy of Your Master.” And everyone started going through this gate. I saw everyone entering the gate of the city. When it got to my turn something surprising happened. When passing through the gate, I felt like I was floating and I noticed that my body was transformed. The body that was perishable is raised imperishable. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown in a natural body but it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body there is also a spiritual body. I no longer had the body of flesh. I no longer had a carnal skin since my skin became transparent light as a spirit of diamond color. I looked at my hands and I saw that I could see through them. I realized that red blood was no longer flowing in my veins. Instead, there was light and lightning raging strong in my system. There was electricity in this immortal body. The light that was flowing in my glorified body was golden as if it was fire. I realized that we were the same as Jesus Christ Himself. The Bible said, we will be like him. 1John 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be. But we know that when He shall be revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. One difference is that His brilliance and radiance was stronger. The wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever. (Daniel 12:3) I looked at all the saints that were there. I realized that I knew the name of each one of them. Moreover, I saw that it was no longer possible to see their faces because of the brightness that they had. But I knew who was who. We were entering this celestial garden, then we saw before us in the middle of the garden, a huge and infinite table that went forever. I saw golden chairs aligned to this unending table, then a banquet appeared on the same table. The taste of the smell of that food is impossible to describe. There is nothing like that on the Earth smelling so tasty. And everybody took a seat in order to be served the meal. We all sat and dined. Nobody was left standing and no one was left without seat and food. Blessed are those who are invited to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. I noticed that Jesus was not in one location, but He was everywhere at the same time. I have seen Him in three places at the same time. There was a lot of joy and a lot of party and fun. This festivity and banquet did not stop. It was a seven years party. Many will come from east and west and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of Heaven. I noticed that during this seven years period, the Christians were continually eating and drinking. No one became fat yet the saints were eating and enjoying continually. Many of the things that I saw during the seven years of banquet were beyond men’s imagination. I saw glittering and radiant precious stones that do not exist on the Earth. I saw living and vibrant colors that were beyond understanding. While the banquet continued for seven years, we did not realize the time elapsing on Earth. Actually our memories of the Earth were removed. They had been taken away by God. The Mighty Lord was sitting on the Throne and that was the source of light that illuminated everything. He was the Light lighting the whole celestial kingdom. So after seven years of the banquet of the Lamb, the angel of the North, of the South, of the East and of the West stood before God's Throne. They showed themselves before the Almighty Who reigns forever, who is the Light of all the existence, the Master of all that exists. He is the Lord that the saints have not yet contemplated nor the face of the Creator that had been worshiped by the saints yet. Than the angels blew the trumpets in a loud voice before the Mighty One who reigns eternally, the One who is the light of all existence, the Master of everything that exists. As a result, in all the Heaven the saints, the cherubim and angels all prostrated themselves before the Creator and they pressed their faces to the ground and worshiped Him. Then the Throne of God moved closer to the people, then He spoke in a huge voice, “Now all things are subjected to My Son.” Everybody worshiped Him, the saints of Heaven and the angels said, “Holy, Holy, Holy, the whole universe is full of Your glory.” Then I saw emerging from behind the throne, a huge city that was being created by God Himself. It descended from God toward the saints and the angels of the Lord. I do not know how to describe its full size or width. But there never was and never there will be a city like that. It was made of gold. There was a river of crystal glass and streets of gold. The houses were made of precious stones. Its walls impenetrable as they were very high. The Angel of the Lord came down and led us to the gate of a city. We entered into the holy city that the Lord Almighty prepared for us. The angels led us to the city and I flew over it. When everyone was there in the holy city, admiring I saw the throne of God descending in the middle of the city. He left the transparent dome like glass that sealed the whole city through the walls and filled all its extension and its space. At that moment, the order was given by the Lord to descend to the Earth. We were inside the holy city that was descending. We were heading back to Earth. I saw the holy city, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God. (Revelation 21:3)” And when we got to the solar system, I looked up and I saw that the sun did not really shine, the stars disappeared. The sea no longer existed and there was no water anywhere. The ground was empty, but there was still a man who was lying on the Earth. The holy city and the glory of God began to enter the Earth. I was amazed to see the brightness of the city of glory. The man who was lying in the middle, he lifted up his head and stood and shook his body and his arms. At that moment the ashes that were around him fell and he turned into a cherubim of immense wings. Then the holy city landed on the Earth right in the center of the ancient Jerusalem, and the dome kept the city open. The throne of the Lord and the Lamb were over the entrance. The Lamb was sitting next to the Creator, and an immense crystal ramp came down from the Throne to touch the Earth. And then at the end of the ramp was a light. Then I saw God standing from the throne. I was on the side of the Lord's throne, I saw something spectacular. A breath came out of God and spread throughout the Earth. As a result, I saw the redemption of the Earth, the air and the sea. I saw the sea rising again. Then I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth, for the first Heaven and Earth had passed away and the sea was no more. Romans 8:18-21 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him who has subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. In a blink of an eye, God restored the Earth. I saw that the Earth and all that was in it, all the sin and Satan and his demons were destroyed together in the Lake of Fire. They disappeared forever from the whole universe and the Lord rebuilt the sky and the Earth and the land. There was a rock of grass green with trees and crystal clear waters. All animals were good. In this age, there was only one city and in the middle of the city, there was a river of crystal clear water, and the tree of life that gave 12 fruits per year. In this city in the new Earth and new Heaven I realized that I was very smart. I had superior knowledge. I knew physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, geology, astronomy. It was as if a part of me that awakened, a part of us that died in the Adamic sin was restored. I was no longer hungry and had no need to sleep. I could travel to wherever I wanted with the power of thought. I could move to any part of the Earth in the speed of thought. Then I saw Jesus sitting next to a source of water and playing with children. I approached Him. When He saw me He hugged me. I looked into His flaming eyes and told Him that I had a request to make. He looked at me in the eye and smiled. I said, “You gave me so many revelations. You granted me to see God, and so many other extraordinary things that I have experienced, but I still have a dream. I know the beautiful things that God created far from here on Earth. I read one day in Your words that all that God created would be revealed to men. I wish I can see the mystery of God that is yet to be revealed that is hidden.” Jesus was not willing to reveal more mystery. Then a breath came out of the mouth of God. As a result, I saw the reconstruction of the bodies of all those who had died without Jesus. I saw the dust of the Earth and water. I saw visceral arteries be reconstructed, bones were refitted, then blood in their veins and organs, hair and skin, and the breath of God blew inside the nostrils of the dead, and they came back to life the same way they had died with all the consciousness and conscience of their past lives as if they were awakened from a deep sleep. And I saw the dead great and small, standing before the Throne. And there were open books and one of them was the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their deeds as recorded in the books. I saw a being of light among the crowd of the dead. It was Satan and his demons who were to be judged before the Throne of God and angels. I saw angels with huge books, and I heard a voice coming from the Throne of God and that voice called the first person. The man was in a suit and carried something in his hands that looked like a Bible and he stepped to the Lord’s Throne and adored Him. When he raised his head, I saw terror in him. God had not yet said anything, but the sins of that man began to torment him right there in front of the Creator. Then I saw Satan looking at him. The man started to scream, “Lord, I am the pastor, I did Your will. I won souls for Your kingdom. I built temples for Your name and made sacrifices. I walked all my life according to Your word, but I am here being judged by You, instead of being rewarded with Your heavenly joy and glory.” Then I saw God give a sign to the angel. Then the angel brought a huge book and touched the book. The book opened and the angel said, “Here is your story where your most hidden secrets are written.” The man was filled with fear and despair. The angel said to this pastor, “What you just said is true. However, later in your walk with God, your heart changed. It was corrupted for money. You introduced doctrines in the church that were not within the Word of God because you lived many lives. You are stealing the tithes and offerings of the house of the Lord for your own benefit for greed. Money that can be spent on God’s house, you spent it on your carnal desire. You ended up in fornication and drinking. Your wife inside the house waited for forgiveness and reconciliation but you never asked her. Today the Creator has tried you according to your works.” Then I saw on the side, a river of fire that seemed like volcanic lava. It stretched across the land. The angel of the Lord took the man and cast him to the abyss of the river of fire and he was consumed. Afterward, the voice that came out of the Throne of God called another man, and I saw someone coming out from within the crowd on the ramp. And when arriving before God, he prostrated. Another angel was called. The angel stepped forward and the book was opened. In that book was written the whole history of that young man who began to speak desperately with tears in the eyes almost without a voice. He said, “Sir, I acknowledge that You are God. I've lived my whole life believing in You. I attended church service every week to worship. I always prayed in the church. I was evangelizing. I did what Your words told me. But why am I being judged by You? Why am I not in the holy city and Your heavenly joy?” Then God gave a signal to the angel who started reading the book and he said, “You often worshiped God who blesses you. You read the Scriptures daily, but your heart was in the world but not the Scriptures. You were praying to God but you did not regret your sins. You performed your services in Church but you did not win souls for God. You despised your own family. You did not love your family and your children because your friends were more important. One of them is the love of money. It is written love one another as the Lord loves you. You forgot about the true essence of God that is love. So you are being tried in the court of divine justice with truth and wisdom.” At that moment fire came down from Heaven and consumed the young man right there and he was thrown into the fire. Then I saw a young man of about 17 to 18 years old who came to the ramp. He was well dressed and came forward and prostrated. Then he raised his head and beheld the glory of God. At that moment he was filled with fear and started crying desperately. So once again, God called another angel who came with a book in his hand and which was written the life of that boy who said nothing. But I saw the terror in his eyes. He was terrified. The angel started to read a book and said, “You were blessed since you were born and you were raised in a rich family where you lacked nothing. You always had available drink and food. You had all the wealth of the Earth. You had an issue of loving your neighbor. Your parents prepared everything they had for you. But when your parents heard about the death of the Creator, they accepted Him in their hearts, hoping that you will join them, but you rebelled against them. You hardened your heart when the Lord was calling you. Is it not true that you preferred drugs? Alcohol and prostitution dominated you. You preferred that lifestyle over the Lord and the love of God. Your parents who were obedient though they had everything loved you and had affection for you. Later in your life a believer offered you an invitation to accept Jesus Christ in your life. However you thought nothing else matters, except to have fun, partying with friends. You did not care about your family and God. One day a last chance of salvation came in your life. On that day the Lord Jesus Christ made you the last invitation through your own parents. But you said, “I do not need this Jesus Christ. I do not need this God of yours.” Despite the fact that time after time you fell victim of your own drug poison, Jesus Christ brought you back to life, the same Jesus that you refused and denied. Now you are being tried in God’s tribunal where there is no forgiveness to those who rejected His name.” At that moment. I saw God standing up and He looked at the young man and ordered his punishment And the angels took him and cast him in the lake of eternal fire to be tormented for all his sins. The multitudes who were there before God knelt and adored Him. It was hard for me to see all this judgment especially of seeing all those people who had the chance and opportunity of God's love. The multitude of people that were before God were all judged according to their works. I do not know how long that trial lasted. Later on, we traveled towards my city and landed at the same place on top of the hill. I saw the whole city from above and stayed confused at that moment. I did not understand what was happening. Then he touched my forehead and my memories came back. My head remembered everything I had seen and felt. I wanted to go back. I wanted to stay there with Him in that wonderful place forever. I wanted to be with my Lord forever. Jesus said, “I chose you to be a witness of all these things I've shown you.” But I wanted to go back anyway. I wanted to stay there with Jesus.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🌺🌹🎁🎀💝 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. FRIDAY JULY 10, 2026. "THE IMPORTANCE OF FELLOWSHIP" ‘…You are members of God’s family.’  Ephesians 2:19 NLT Nathaniel Hawthorne said, ‘No man, for any period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which is the true one.’ We like to wear masks in public, yet, only as we open up to one another can we truly change and grow. ‘…If we live in the light…we can share fellowship with each other…’ (1John 1:7 NCV). One author writes: ‘The world mistakenly thinks that intimacy occurs in the dark, but God says it happens in the light. Darkness hides our issues, but, when we are able to bring them out into the light, they lose their power, we find forgiveness, our wounded areas are healed and we begin to make progress.’ We’re afraid of transparency, yet it’s the only way to become spiritually and emotionally whole. None of us is as strong individually as all of us are collectively. We’re more consistent in our faith when others walk with us and encourage us. Over and over in the New Testament we’re told to be devoted to one another, submit to one another, forgive one another, bear one another’s burdens, honour one another, accept one another, teach one another, serve one another, encourage one another, pray for one another and love one another. You’re not responsible for everyone in your church, but you are responsible to them. God expects you to do whatever you can to serve them. Paul challenged the believers in Rome, saying, ‘…I want us to help each other…Your faith will help me and my faith will help you’ (Romansf 1:12 NCV). That’s what it’s all about! Bible In A Year:  Acts 6-7; Matt 8:18-27; Ps 118:1-9; Pro 15:27-30.

Morning Prayer Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. ⏤ Psalm 143:8 Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend.

July 7th, 2026 Read; 1John 3:11 The first message was to love each other. The message that will last is to love each other. The most powerful message is to love each other. The hardest message is to love each other. I think of the short verse, "To live in heaven with the saints we love, that will be glory." But to live down here with the saints we know is a different story. But that's the story our lives are meant to tell. This is the message that God wants His children to always remember. Let's get out there and do it! Prayer Dear Father, I promise to intentionally demonstrate my love for Your children in all that I say and do. I do this in the belief that Your grace will enable me to accomplish more than I could on my own. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

Lifeline Today Thursday June 25 Winning All the Way With God on our side we will win; he will defeat our enemies. Psalms 60:12 (GNB) It is good to know your true status before God. And that is, you are destined to win the battles of life. As the Father surrounds you with His love and guides you by His power, you will win no matter how fierce the conflict is. He promised in Isaiah 45:20 (MSG):"I'll go ahead of you, clearing and paving the road. I'll break down bronze city gates, smash padlocks, kick down barred entrances.” Though it is your destiny to win, it may not necessarily be your experience except you understand what it takes to win. To win, you must fight. It is a fight of faith and a good one (1Timothy 6:12). You must contend for your faith to continue in it and be victorious through it. You are an overcomer (1John 5:4) but you must conquer by faith! It will take wisdom for you to fight by faith and win. (Proverbs 24:6). Seek for that wisdom today. This is your day. Wisdom Fountain: "Greatness lives in one who triumphs equally over defeat and victory." Prayer: Father, I pray for wisdom and strategy for winning in life. I surrender my own understanding and ask that You grant me the clear insight I need to make the right decisions. Lead me, guide me, and show me exactly what steps I need to take to win in Jesus' name.

What Does Bible Say About Tithe Did Jesus teach tithing in Matt 23:23? Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Q Who was Jesus addressing here? A Scribes and Pharisees Q Are they disciples of Jesus? A No! Q What does "Woe" mean? A it means, ""the scribes and Pharisees are cursed" Q Why did Jesus curse them? A Because they keep a part of the law but neglect the other part Q Which part of the law do they keep A The law of tithing Q Which part of the law do they neglect? A The weightier matters of the law Q What is weightier than tithing under the law? A the laws pertaining to judgement faith and mercy Q Was Jesus telling His disciples to pay tithe and also practice judgement, mercy and Faith? A Not at all. i) The statement was addressed to scribes and Pharisees not His disciples ii) Jesus said that tithe, judgment mercy and faith were matters under the law. Q Are disciples of Jesus expected to fulfil the requirements of the law? A No! John 1:17 says, For the law was given by Moses, BUT grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Q So is the law irrelevant to disciples of Jesus? A No! The law defines sin. Even in this NT era sin is still defined as transgression of the LAW 1John 3:4 But keeping the law does not result in justification and righteousness. Romans 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: Q Is it wrong to try to keep the law including tithing? A Yes! That was the lesson Jesus was teaching the scribes and Pharisees If you are not going to keep all the 650 laws of Moses dont start. Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in ALL things which are written in the book of the law to do them. See also James 2:10 Q Abraham was not under the law when he gave Melchisedec tithe. Can we tithe outside the law like Abraham? A NO! Abraham was a prophet. He gave tithe to the heavenly priesthood on behalf of the earthly priesthood. Heb 7:5,12. All believers belong to the heavenly priesthood which received tithe from Abraham so to who shall we of the heavenly priesthood give tithe? We are not called to give a fraction but ALL our Spirit, Soul and Body. That includes our possession, our time, our energy etc The priesthood has changed and all the laws of priesthood including the law of tithing also changed. Shalom
