THE WORD FOR TODAY. MONDAY OCTOBER 5, 2O26.
"POST- TRAUMATIC GROWTH (2)"
‘…God intended it all for good…’ Genesis 50:20 NLT
RISING TO a challenge reveals hidden abilities within you that otherwise would have remained dormant. Just as you find out what’s inside a tube of toothpaste when it gets squeezed, adversity reveals what you’re made of. Sometimes we say, ‘I could never go through what that person went through. I would die.’ Then you go through it, and guess what? Your heart keeps beating. Your world goes on. You don’t know what you’re capable of until you have to cope. Wise people have always understood the connection between suffering and growth. Meng Tzu, the Chinese sage, said, ‘When heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on any man it will place obstacles in the path of his deeds so as to stimulate his mind, harden his nature, and improve wherever he is incompetent.’ God could have let Abraham stay in the comfort of Ur, and Moses in the splendour of Pharaoh’s courts. He could have kept Daniel out of the lions’ den, Nehemiah out of captivity, Jonah out of the whale, John the Baptist away from Herod, Esther from being threatened, Jeremiah from being rejected, and Paul from being shipwrecked. But He didn’t. In fact, God used each of these trials to bring them closer to Himself—to produce perseverance, character and hope. It’s said, ‘The school of hard knocks produces the greatest scholars.’ And guess who the teacher is? Adversity! You either face it with God, or without Him. And those without God are watching you. When they see your faith sustain you and God bring you through, they’ll get interested in what you have to say. And not before!

Calvary greetings, brethren.
Kindly accept my sincere apologies for the late posting of today's devotionals.
I had power challenges after returning from a trip yesterday. Every power generating gadget in my house was down and my phone was out of charges. It was a trial I cannot remember to have ever faced. But the Lord has taken the glory.
Thank you for your understanding and God bless.

*TESTED AND TRIUMPHANT*
*TEXT:* MARK 1:9-15.
9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12 And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.
13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
*Timeless Truth:*_"For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin"_ (Hebrews 4:15).
*INTRODUCTION*
The more sensitive, influential or great a position of responsibility, service or blessing is, the more the stringent conditions for those who will occupy the position. This is true in the world. It is a satanic deception to think that God is so liberal and desperate that He admits every Tom **** and Harry for His purpose. Before Abraham could be the Father of faith with generational blessings, he passed through protracted uncommon tests and trial of faith. Every person who will be used of God or receive sustained uncommon blessings from God must rise up to live a life that is transparent and sanctified because grace does not replace personal responsibility.
*1.Open Heavens for Beloved Children*
a. Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, humbled and submitted Himself to water baptism though He was God in human flesh. He gave a strong example that no matter how high we may be, submission to the Word and will of God must be total. Nobody is above the Word of God except the deceived, proud and rebellious. *"Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan"*.
b. Humble obedience and submission to the Word and will of God always attract divine blessings. In the case of Jesus, He experienced open heavens in His ministry and gifts of the Holy Spirit. *"He saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him"*. Experiencing open heavens in prayer, gifts and blessings of God cum divine approval and success in life and ministry is conditioned on diligent and humble obedience to His Word and will without being selective. The humble and obedient are always well beloved of God. *"Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased"*.
*Question*
Are you fully obedient to His Word or are you cheating yourself by being selective?
*2. Obedience and Holiness of Baptized Christians*
a. Jesus was not led to fast for 40 days and night so as to receive power for miracles. The Holy Spirit had descended on Him like a dove after His water baptism. *"And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him"*. Moses did not fast to receive the power of God. Before he was made to fast for 40 days on mount Sinai God had used him to perform great miracles in Egypt. The same with Elijah who fasted for forty days. Elijah only fasted for forty days towards the end of his ministry after he had commanded fire from heaven and performed many miracles. In fact, Moses and Elijah fasted for 40 days without planning for it. The question is, why was Jesus led to the wilderness? *"And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts"*. To be in a lonely and hidden place is a great temptation for someone with global ministry awaiting Him. For someone with the mighty power of God to be tested to fall down and show He has power is very tempting. For someone who was without food for forty days and being tempted on food matters is hard. So Jesus faced tests on pride of life, lust of the flesh and lust of the eyes.
b. At times we are put in a very difficult environment and situation in life to be tested without our knowledge. It is the victorious that would be approved of God for impactful ministry. In the midst of the test, no matter how grievous, God would always give the needed grace to overcome if we are determined to. In the case of Jesus, the ministering of angels was an encouragement for Him to move on. *"And the angels ministered unto him"*. Anybody who falls in the day of tests, trials and temptations has himself to blame for not making use of the grace of God available. *"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it"* (1 Corinthians 10:13).
*Question*
Are you determined to pass any test and overcome any temptation that may come your way?
*3. Overcoming Hindrances to be Best in Your Calling*
John the Baptist had been a forerunner of Jesus and he made the work easier for Christ. In fact, some of the disciples of Jesus followed Him because of the testimony of John the Baptist concerning Jesus. But now John the Baptist was put in prison. There are times our obedience to God is threatened by loss of loved ones, unexpected calamity, distracting challenges, disgraceful failures among others. Jesus did not allow that to hinder Him from what God sent Him to do. Jesus, rather than going into hiding because of the hostile environment decided to relocate and still continue with His God- given ministry. *"Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God"*.
*Question*
What can you learn from Jesus commitment to God's purpose for His life?
*Prayer Points*
1.Father, I have resolved to do away with selective obedience for full obedience. Give me abundant grace
.
2.I want to pass my tests and overcome my temptations. Help me to always make use of the means of grace available
.
3.Lord, I want to experience Your manifold blessings all the time. Keep me from acts and thoughts that will deny me free access to the throne of grace
.
4.Give Your children the grace and the humility to always triumph in every test, trials and temptations.

*OBTAIN HEAVEN'S ENDORSEMENT*

```TEXT:MARK 1:9-15```
```KEY VERSE:``` _*"And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (MARK 1:10, 11).*_
*From the very beginning, God's plan for redemption unfolded with unmistakable clarity, focusing on Jesus, the Saviour. When He rose from the waters of baptism, He did not rise alone. The Father and the Holy Spirit united to bear witness to and endorse His earthly life and ministry, ensuring that nothing would hinder heaven's ultimate purpose for mankind.*
*Remarkably, Jesus began His ministry only after receiving the Father's approval and the Spirit's empowerment. Heaven opened, the Father spoke, and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in a visible form, establishing for us a divine pattern for ministry. Christ's experience teaches that those called to God's work must first fulfil all righteousness through genuine salvation, scriptural water baptism, sanctification, and then heaven's endorsement through the baptism of the Holy Ghost. This is the way to secure the support of the Trinity and receive the assurance of success in life. Believers must avoid unprepared and presumptuous assumptions of calling or rushing into ministry without getting the endorsement of heaven.*
*Just as Jesus overcame Satan's relentless temptations after being empowered by the Spirit, believers can only triumph over the challenges of their calling when clothed with the power of the Holy Ghost. This divine confirmation was not just a declaration; it was heaven's undeniable seal upon Christ's mission. It confirmed that Jesus was not merely another prophet but _The Prophet_ promised by God, the fulfilment of divine prophecy and the embodiment of God's redemptive plan.*
*Christ's ministry transcends nations, ethnic groups, and boundaries, reaching every tribe and tongue. His mission was, and still is, for you. No one who calls upon Him is ever rejected, for His heart remains open to all repentant souls seeking His kingdom. Christ has delegated the same power to believers to accomplish and exceed what He was able to accomplish within the short period of His earthly ministry. In Him, we find life, purpose and eternal fulfilment.*

```TEXT:DANIEL 3:1-12```
``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up" (DANIEL 3:12).*_
*The Israelites were commanded to bring up their children with religious education based on God's Word, which includes the Ten Commandments. Hear this, "And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up" (Deuteronomy 6:7).*
*So, before Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego went to Babylon, they had learnt that Jehovah God forbids idol worship. They stood firm upon God's word in a strange land. The great king, Nebuchadnezzar, made a golden image which everyone in the land should bow to at the hearing of certain music sounds or risk being burnt in the fire. However, all around bowed, except Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.*
*All Christians are also expected to worship only God today, no matter the threat. You must not worship man-made gods or any creature of God. "Worship is man's response to the nature and action of God," says Ralph Martin. God is good and should be praised.*

*GOD PARDONS INIQUITY*
🫵🏽
🏽
🏽
🏽
🏽
🏽
```MICAH 7:18-20```
```Key Verse:``` _*"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity..." (Micah 7:18a).*_
God is righteous and holy altogether. Any child that wants God's blessing and favour must be holy like God. The Bible gives us many examples of people and nations who were punished by God because of their sins, many among the children of Israel were bitten to death by fiery serpents (Numbers 21:6).
The idol-worshipping people of Canaan and their wicked kings were wiped away because they rejected God (Deuteronomy 2:21). Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, ate grass like an animal for seven years (Daniel 4:33), the children who mocked Elisha, the prophet of God, were devoured by bears (2 Kings 2:24). Herod was eaten up of worms (Acts 12:23). God hates and punishes sin. His righteous nature remains the same today.
Even though God does not delight in iniquity, yet, God pardons iniquity and He delights in showing mercy. Our Bible passage refers to Him as the only One who pardons iniquity, who passes by the transgression of His heritage, who retains not His anger but delights in mercy and have compassion upon us.
*You must repent from your bad ways and ask God for forgiveness. Promise Him that you will never go back to your sins. God will pardon your iniquity.*
```
rayer:``` _*God, who pardons iniquity, forgive me all my sins.*_

2. Morning Prayer for today.
MP.i. Morning Prayer
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. ⏤ Colossians 3:17
There is no wonder more supernatural and divine in the life of a believer than the mystery and ministry of prayer. ⏤ A.W. Tozer
God, as we start another workweek, we ask for Your blessing. Help us carry the rest and lessons of Sunday with us as we face the busy days ahead. Even if we’re too busy for quiet reflection, may the memories of Sunday inspire us throughout the day. Let the songs and prayers of yesterday keep lifting our hearts as we work.
Help us live out what we learned yesterday in our everyday lives. We want our faith to be real in everything we do. We’ve caught glimpses of Your beauty, and now we want that beauty to shine through us. We’ve read Your commandments, and we want to follow them so that our lives reflect Your goodness.
But it’s not always easy to do what’s right. We make good resolutions on Sunday, but during the week, it’s easy to forget them and fall back into old habits. We need more of Your grace to help us stay faithful and do our best. Our spirit is willing, but we often struggle to follow through. Strengthen us, God, so we can keep our promises and live out our intentions to obey and serve You.
Let the spirit of Sunday carry into our week, making it bright with love, truth, and goodness. Help us not to fail in our work, our duties, or our challenges. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.

*All Christians are also expected to worship only God today, no matter the threat. You must not worship man-made gods or any creature of God. "Worship is man's response to the nature and action of God," says Ralph Martin. God is good and should be praised.*

*GOD PARDONS INIQUITY* 📓📖🎚️🫵🏽🙋🏽♂️🙋🏽♀️✝️🧎🏽🧎🏽♀️🗣️🖤🩸🤍🙏🏽

🔑📖 ```Key Verse:``` _*"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity..." (Micah 7:18a).*_
📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖
God is righteous and holy altogether. Any child that wants God's blessing and favour must be holy like God. The Bible gives us many examples of people and nations who were punished by God because of their sins, many among the children of Israel were bitten to death by fiery serpents (Numbers 21:6).
The idol-worshipping people of Canaan and their wicked kings were wiped away because they rejected God (Deuteronomy 2:21). Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, ate grass like an animal for seven years (Daniel 4:33), the children who mocked Elisha, the prophet of God, were devoured by bears (2 Kings 2:24). Herod was eaten up of worms (Acts 12:23). God hates and punishes sin. His righteous nature remains the same today.
Even though God does not delight in iniquity, yet, God pardons iniquity and He delights in showing mercy. Our Bible passage refers to Him as the only One who pardons iniquity, who passes by the transgression of His heritage, who retains not His anger but delights in mercy and have compassion upon us.
*You must repent from your bad ways and ask God for forgiveness. Promise Him that you will never go back to your sins. God will pardon your iniquity.*

2. Morning Prayer for today.
MP.i. Morning Prayer
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. ⏤ Colossians 3:17
There is no wonder more supernatural and divine in the life of a believer than the mystery and ministry of prayer. ⏤ A.W. Tozer
God, as we start another workweek, we ask for Your blessing. Help us carry the rest and lessons of Sunday with us as we face the busy days ahead. Even if we’re too busy for quiet reflection, may the memories of Sunday inspire us throughout the day. Let the songs and prayers of yesterday keep lifting our hearts as we work.
Help us live out what we learned yesterday in our everyday lives. We want our faith to be real in everything we do. We’ve caught glimpses of Your beauty, and now we want that beauty to shine through us. We’ve read Your commandments, and we want to follow them so that our lives reflect Your goodness.
But it’s not always easy to do what’s right. We make good resolutions on Sunday, but during the week, it’s easy to forget them and fall back into old habits. We need more of Your grace to help us stay faithful and do our best. Our spirit is willing, but we often struggle to follow through. Strengthen us, God, so we can keep our promises and live out our intentions to obey and serve You.
Let the spirit of Sunday carry into our week, making it bright with love, truth, and goodness. Help us not to fail in our work, our duties, or our challenges. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
