A Life Rooted in God’s Word “A life rooted in God’s Word may face storms, but it will not be shaken.” Psalm 1:2–3 “But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night... That person is like a tree planted by streams of water.” The strength of a tree is not found only in its branches; it is found in how deeply its roots are established. When the wind blows, the branches may sway. When a great storm comes, branches may break and leaves may fall. But a tree with deep roots will stand firm and will not easily fall. In the same way, the Bible does not say that a Christian life will be free from problems. Storms will come, trials will come, tears will come, and unexpected circumstances will arise. But a heart rooted in God’s Word will not be shaken by those circumstances. In Matthew 7:24–25, Jesus compares the person who hears His words and puts them into practice to a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came, the floods rose, and the winds blew against that house—yet it did not fall. Why? Because its foundation was built on the rock. What is the foundation of our life today? Is it money? People? Our abilities? All these things can change. But God’s Word never changes. As roots grow deeper, a tree becomes stronger. In the same way, as God’s Word goes deeper into our hearts, our faith becomes stronger. Therefore, instead of only praying that storms will never come, let us become so deeply rooted in God’s Word that we can stand firm even when the storms come. Even when circumstances change, people change, and we do not know what tomorrow holds, let us hold firmly to what God has spoken. A life rooted in God’s Word may be shaken by the storm, but it can never be uprooted. “Be deeply rooted in God’s Word; no storm in life will be able to shake you.” Hepsi Sam ✍️

The Joy of Being Mentored. Human resource is an integral part of success. As you go up you need people to support your ladder of success. The saying goes, “Be good to people on your way up, because you will meet them on your way down.” No man has ever made it in his/her own however talented. God gives His servants people to support their endeavors because no single individual knows everything. One is an expert in this, and another an expert in that. You need to bring all their ideas on board to build your tower. Hence, the adage, “Together we are rock but singly you are sand”. Sand has never supported a foundation by itself. Christ Jesus taught, “Therefore whoever hears these words of mine and does them, I’ll liken him to a wise man that built his house upon a rock: and the rain descended, and floods came, and wind blew and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And everyone that hears not these words of mine, and does them not, shall be likened to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.” (Mathew 7:24-27). Almighty God puts this precious resource into your life to bless your life, and as you prosper you also bless other lives. And to lead a people you must be a leader. And to be a leader one must learn leadership skills from the leader. It takes following those who have gone before us to enter a city. This is called mentoring. The Scripture teaches, “That the heir, as long is a child, differs not from the servant, though he be lord of all; but is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father”(Galatians 4:1-2). This is also true of Father God: those whom He calls, He puts under the tutoring of men and the Holy Spirit until they fulfill His purpose on earth. Therefore, to ascend to greatness, mentoring is part and parcel of the process. A mentor is simply a guide or adviser. She/he is someone used by God to pull you up from a lowly life. You need someone who has been there to take hold of your hand and lead you to the top of the mountain. It takes following the King to enter the palace gates. In our calling, we are all called forth as little children but it takes tutoring and lessons from those who have gone before us to realize our dreams. Greatness is a product of growth. During our growth, we follow the leaders who have gone before us to be like them if not better. The Scripture reminds us that, “He that walks with the wise men shall be wise; but a companion of fools shall be destroyed”. (Proverbs 13:20). It takes following the wise to be wise. And the wise are also the great of the earth. They lead the way for others to follow onto their footsteps. The Scripture therefore warns that, “_____He that follows vain persons is void of understanding” (Proverbs 12:11). But cursed is everyone that follows after strong drinks. The Scripture laments, “Woe to them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow after strong drinks; that continue until night till wine inflame them” (Isaiah 5:11).

Good morning to everyone. Grace and Peace be with you. This month, I have taken a break from doing events in an attempt to sell my books. I have got the giveaway going, but that is all for now. It is funny that in a matter of just a couple of hours, I have September looking pretty solid for different sites. Add to that a couple of new projects in the works. So, while my physical is taking a break while the littles are here, my mind never shuts off. Haha. Today we have an appointment to see the VA lawyer and work on next steps for my hubby’s compensation. I have questions, and supposedly this alternate site has a calmer venue to ask those questions. As the rain falls, yet again today, please pray for those areas that are over drainage capacity and are flooding. My yard is a soggy mess and when I actually get to mow … in six months … we will need a rake to bundle the grass for the horses; however … my little puddles in my yard are nothing compared to those who have been ousted from their homes and businesses. I would encourage you to seek an audience with the Father today, as you should every day; however, today make a special appearance and pray for those who are watching their livelihood wash away in the floods. Pray for the emergency workers who are trying to keep everyone safe. Pray for the linemen who are trying to keep the power on. Pray for those who just happen to be in the wrong place when a road washes away. Pray for those in your community who are struggling with something that you are not aware of. Pray for our government leaders to put Him first and to follow His direction. Today, spend a considerable amount of time in prayer. Let's come together as a church and cover our country. While in the community, randomly stop and help someone … be the church in the physical as well as the spiritual. Today, let us show the world how His church demonstrates His love. Be blessed. **Jesus replied, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” –Matthew 22:37-40

praise Jesus: brethren heb1:1-2 is speaking to this last age today. the son has shown me 3 visions after vanished. eg Red 7 in the sky, Green 7 on the wall, and skeleton vision. Joel 2:28, but mind you they are of divine warning, mercy, judgement unto living ones in this last age. scripture torch at no. 7 as sanctified no of God. and as no of spiritual perfection & completion. Gen2:1-3, and RED COLOR in it= blood of Jesus, sacrifice of Jesus, sin, spiritual warfare well no.7 stands as warning. seen 7days floods warning in Noah's time. therefore: Red 7 vision= call to repentance, sinners, 7 churches, and spiritual awakening, renewal, revival, through repenting & blood of Jesus purify you. 1john1:7, Luke 13:3-5, and Christ appointed me to testify to those visions that the son has shown me by sharing them to people of Last age. so that they repent and obey the word and become right before God. acts26:16.

SHAKEN, BUT NOT STIRRED BECAUSE OF MY FAITH! Key Scripture: “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord…” — 1 Corinthians 15:58 (KJV) Thought for the Day... There are moments in life when your faith will not prevent the shaking—it will keep the shaking from destroying you. Sometimes we mistakenly believe that strong faith means we will never experience fear, disappointment, uncertainty, pressure, betrayal, loss, or unexpected trouble. But the Bible never promises that believers will live unshaken lives. Instead, Scripture teaches us how to remain unmoved while everything around us is shaking. You may be shaken by what happened, but you don't have to be stirred away from what you believe. You can say: “I felt it, but I didn't fold.” “I cried, but I didn't quit.” “I was disappointed, but I didn't stop trusting God.” “The storm shook my surroundings, but it couldn't shake my foundation.” Why? BECAUSE OF MY FAITH! FAITH DOESN'T ALWAYS STOP THE SHAKING—SOMETIMES IT HOLDS YOU THROUGH IT Jesus told Peter: “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not…” — Luke 22:31–32 (KJV) Notice that Jesus didn't tell Peter, “You won't be sifted.” He said, essentially, “When you're sifted, I'm praying that your faith survives.” That's powerful! Sometimes God doesn't immediately remove the situation. Instead, He strengthens you in the situation. The enemy wants the shaking to become a breaking. But God says: “You may shake, but you will not shatter.” Your emotions may shake. Your finances may shake. Your relationships may shake. Your plans may shake. Your confidence may shake. But when your faith is anchored in Jesus Christ, your foundation remains secure. THE STORM CAN SHAKE THE HOUSE, BUT IT CANNOT MOVE THE FOUNDATION Jesus said: “…a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not…” — Matthew 7:24–25 (KJV) Notice something important. The house built on the rock still experienced the storm. The rain still fell. The floods still came. The winds still blew. And the storm still beat upon the house. The difference wasn't the absence of a storm. The difference was the foundation. Somebody looking at your life may wonder: "How are you still standing after everything you've been through?" The answer is simple: MY FOUNDATION IS JESUS! I've been shaken—but my foundation hasn't moved. I've been wounded—but my foundation hasn't moved. I've been disappointed—but my foundation hasn't moved. I've had nights when I didn't understand what God was doing—but my foundation hasn't moved! WHAT SHAKES YOU REVEALS WHAT'S HOLDING YOU! Hebrews declares: “Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace…” — Hebrews 12:28 (KJV) Sometimes shaking reveals what we have unknowingly depended upon. We trusted the job—until the job changed. We trusted people—until people disappointed us. We trusted our plans—until life interrupted them. We trusted our own strength—until we discovered we weren't strong enough. Then the shaking reminded us: God was supposed to be our foundation all along. When temporary things start moving, faith grabs hold of the One who never changes. “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” — Hebrews 13:8 (KJV) Everything around you can change while the God underneath you remains the same. FAITH SAYS, “EVEN IF GOD DOESN'T CHANGE IT YET, I STILL TRUST HIM!” Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego faced a fiery furnace because they refused to bow. Their response was remarkable: “Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us…” — Daniel 3:17 (KJV) But then they said: “But if not… we will not serve thy gods…” — Daniel 3:18 (KJV) That's shaken-but-not-stirred faith! They knew God could deliver them, but their faith wasn't dependent upon God doing exactly what they wanted. “God can—but even if He doesn't, He's still God.” That's mature faith. If He heals me—I trust Him. If I'm still waiting—I trust Him. If the door opens—I trust Him. If the door stays closed—I trust Him. If I understand—I trust Him. If I don't understand—I STILL TRUST HIM! My circumstances don't determine God's character. God is faithful even when life doesn't make sense. YOU MAY BEND UNDER PRESSURE WITHOUT BREAKING Paul described the Christian journey this way: “We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.” — 2 Corinthians 4:8–9 (KJV) Look at those contrasts: Troubled—but not distressed. Perplexed—but not hopeless. Persecuted—but not abandoned. Knocked down—but not destroyed. In other words: SHAKEN—BUT STILL STANDING! Faith doesn't mean you never have difficult moments. Faith means difficult moments don't get the final word. WHEN THE SHAKING STOPS One day you'll look back and realize: What you thought was going to destroy you actually developed you. The shaking taught you how to pray. The shaking taught you how to trust. The shaking taught you who was really for you. The shaking exposed what wasn't stable. The shaking drove you deeper into God's Word. And the shaking taught you something about yourself: “I didn't know my faith was this strong until life gave me something heavy enough to test it.” James 1:3 declares: “Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.” Your faith isn't merely being tested. Your faith is being strengthened. Prayer... Heavenly Father, thank You for being my Rock when everything around me feels unstable. When life shakes me, strengthen my faith. When fear tries to enter my heart, remind me of Your promises. When I don't understand what You're doing, help me trust who You are. Lord, let every storm drive me closer to You. Give me faith that refuses to quit, worship that refuses to stop, and confidence that declares, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust in him” (Job 13:15). I declare that trouble will not destroy me, disappointment will not define me, and fear will not control me. My life is built upon Jesus Christ, the Solid Rock. I may be shaken, but I will not be stirred away from my faith. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen! DECLARATION... I may be shaken, but I will not be stirred away from my faith! I will not allow fear to replace my faith. I will not allow disappointment to replace my worship. I will not allow delay to make me doubt God's promises. I will not allow what I see to make me forget what God said. My faith is anchored. My hope is secure. My foundation is Jesus Christ. The winds may blow. The rain may fall. The ground around me may shake. BUT I WILL STILL BE STANDING! Because I've discovered something about God: HE IS FAITHFUL IN THE FIRE. HE IS FAITHFUL IN THE STORM. HE IS FAITHFUL IN THE WAITING. HE IS FAITHFUL IN THE SHAKING. I'M SHAKEN, BUT I'M NOT STIRRED—BECAUSE OF MY FAITH!

‎Chapter Three: The Great Self-Deception Bake-Off: How to Frost a Lie and Call It Prophecy ‎ ‎“The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?” — Jeremiah 17:9 ‎ ‎Now, that is not a verse you’d want embroidered on a throw pillow. The prophet Jeremiah, who was never invited to many parties, drops this bombshell with the casualness of someone announcing the weather. Your heart—that warm, fuzzy center of emotion you've been taught to "follow" like a GPS—is, in fact, a pathological liar with a doctorate in spin. It is not just occasionally mistaken; it is deceitful above all things. Above a used chariot salesman. Above a politician promising lower taxes. Above a toddler with chocolate on his face insisting he did not eat the cake. Your heart is the most brilliant con artist you will ever meet, and it lives inside your chest, rent-free, forging your signature on checks you didn't even know you had. ‎ ‎And yet, we treat this internal fraudster as if it were the Holy Spirit's personal secretary. "The heart wants what it wants," we sigh, as if that's a profundity and not the battle cry of every disastrous decision since Eve looked at a piece of fruit and thought, "That looks like a good idea, and I feel strongly that it's fine." ‎ ‎Let's talk about what's actually happening when you feel something so intensely that it must be true. You are not receiving a divine download. You are attending the Great Self-Deception Bake-Off, a competition where your own mind whips up a three-tiered cake of false reality, frosts it with emotion, and then serves it to you on a silver platter while a tiny voice in your head screams, "Bon appétit! This is definitely from God!" ‎ ‎The recipe is deceptively simple. You take one genuine fact—a real hurt, a legitimate desire, a valid frustration—and you place it on the counter. So far, so good. This is the flour. But then, instead of following a sane recipe, you hand the kitchen over to a crew of sous-chefs named Assumption, Projection, and Catastrophic Thinking. Assumption dumps in an entire bag of "I know what they were thinking." Projection adds a heaping cup of "This is just like that time in 2007." And Catastrophic Thinking, wearing a chef's hat made of old newspapers, throws in a gallon of "This will never get better and I will die alone and my funeral will be sparsely attended." Mix thoroughly. Bake in the oven of rumination at 400 degrees of anxiety. Frost with a thick layer of righteous indignation or self-pity, depending on your preferred flavor profile. And there you have it: a magnificent, towering cake of Illusion à la Mode, garnished with a sprig of "I'm pretty sure God told me." ‎ ‎You sit down, take a bite, and the flavors explode. The anger tastes like power. The self-pity tastes like a warm hug from yourself. The lust tastes like a preview of heaven that is, in fact, a timeshare presentation for hell. And because the flavor is so intense, so vivid, so consuming, you conclude that the cake must be true. "I feel this strongly, therefore it is valid. God gave me taste buds, didn't He? This is confirmation." And you go back for a second slice, and a third, until you're lying on the floor in a sugar coma of self-deception, wondering why your life has turned into a cautionary tale. ‎ ‎The Apostle James, who had clearly witnessed a few bake-offs in his day, described the process with surgical precision: "Each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." (James 1:14-15). Did you catch that? Desire conceives. It has a baby. And the baby is sin, and when that baby grows up, it becomes death. The whole thing starts with a tiny little desire—a spark, a wisp, a passing thought—and if you midwife it with enough emotional intensity, it eventually births a full-grown monster that eats your life. James is essentially saying, "Your feelings are not a prophet; they are a maternity ward for disaster." And you, my friend, are the one pushing. ‎ ‎But here's where the comedy curdles into something so absurd you have to laugh or you'll cry: we then take that monster baby, dress it in a little suit of Bible verses, and present it to the world as a word from the Lord. "God is leading me to leave this church," we declare, when in fact the pastor's sermon stepped on our toes and we felt convicted, but conviction feels uncomfortable, so we rebranded the discomfort as "discernment." "The Lord is telling me to speak truth into this situation," we announce, right before we unleash a torrent of unsolicited criticism that burns down a friendship, and we walk away feeling like Jeremiah at the gate, when in fact we were just a jerk with a vocabulary. ‎ ‎Imagine a man who eats an entire extra-large pizza with extra garlic and anchovies, followed by a milkshake, right before bed. He falls into a fitful sleep, and in the depths of the night, his stomach begins to churn and boil like a cauldron in a witch's kitchen. A dream arises—a wild, vivid, Technicolor dream full of dragons, floods, and talking donkeys. He wakes up in a cold sweat, clutching his abdomen, and gasps, "A vision! A prophetic vision! God is warning me of impending doom and possibly a dietary restriction!" He immediately texts his prayer group: "Urgent: I believe the Lord is calling us to a season of fasting and apocalyptic readiness. I saw a donkey and a flood. Repent!" The prayer group, equally susceptible to the Bake-Off, responds with fire emojis and "Amen, brother, I felt a shift." Meanwhile, the real prophecy was the anchovies, and the only shift needed was in his late-night eating habits. The man has mistaken his gastric distress for divine revelation. And before you laugh too hard, ask yourself: how many of your "leadings" were just spiritual indigestion? How many of your "words from God" were just the echo of your own anxieties bouncing around an empty room, dressed in a robe and sandals? ‎ ‎The internal bake-off is fueled by a simple, terrible engine: the illusion that intensity equals authenticity. If I feel it hotly, it must be holy. This is the spiritual equivalent of mistaking a car alarm for an angelic choir. The car alarm is loud, it demands attention, it rattles the windows—but it's not a herald of the Second Coming. It's just a malfunctioning sensor on a Toyota Camry. Your emotions are the Camry. The alarm is going off. And you're on your knees in the parking lot, weeping, "Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening," while a security guard taps you on the shoulder and says, "Sir, that's just your own panic. Also, your lights are on." ‎

A FOSSIL BED OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS West Coast Fossil Park at Langebaanweg, South Africa, has become a powerful window into the reality of the Flood and truth of the fossil record. What researchers have uncovered there is a massive fossil deposit spread across a wide area, containing thousands of fossils from many different kinds of animals all buried together. Marine creatures like whales, seals, and sharks are found alongside land animals such as elephants, antelope, and predators, with large numbers of birds mixed in as well. Evolutionists often ask, “If there was a global Flood, where are all the animals mixed together?” Well, here is one of those places where we do find exactly that. This creates a serious problem for the secular timeline. If the fossil record formed slowly over millions of years, animals should be separated by environment and time. Instead, everything is jumbled together in the same layers, as if buried in one overwhelming event. The rock layers confirm it. Thick sediments and large-scale cross-bedding show fast-moving water laid these deposits down rapidly. This is not slow accumulation. This is sudden, forceful burial. Local floods cannot explain this scale, this mixing, or the sheer number of fossils concentrated in one place. This matches what the Bible describes in the global Flood. A world covered by water, ecosystems uprooted, and countless creatures buried quickly under massive layers of sediment. The contrast is clear. The secular timeline depends on slow, orderly processes that separate life over vast ages. The evidence here shows rapid burial and mixed environments. The Genesis Flood explains what we actually see in the fossil record.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🌺🌹🎁🎀💝 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY SUNDAY JULY 26, 2O26. "NEVER STOP LEARNING" '…You need someone to teach you…’  Hebrews 5:12 NIV MARLENE LEFEVER quipped, ‘Becoming an effective teacher is simple. You just prepare and prepare until drops of blood appear on your forehead.’ In the 1920s Charlie Chaplin was the most famous person in the world. Born into poverty, he worked on the stage to support himself and by the age of 17 he was a veteran performer. Then at the age of 29 he did something unheard of: he signed the entertainment industry’s first million-dollar contract. But he wasn’t successful simply because he had talent and drive. He was also teachable. He kept learning and perfecting his gift. Even at the height of his career, the highest paid performer in the world didn’t rest on his laurels. He said: ‘When I watch one of my pictures, I pay attention to what the audience doesn’t laugh at. If several audiences don’t laugh at a stunt, I tear it apart and try to discover what’s wrong. On the other hand, if I hear laughter I hadn’t expected, I ask myself why that particular thing rang the bell with the audience.’ The truth is, if Charlie Chaplin had replaced teachability with complacency and arrogance, we probably wouldn’t even remember his name today. But he didn’t. He never forgot the basics and he committed himself to learning. Eventually he co-founded United Artists, a mega-movie company that’s still in business today. There’s an important principle in this story. The Bible says, ‘Though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s Word all over again.’ If you want God to use you, stay teachable and never stop learning.

They miss the crucial turning point, unlike David who cried out to God: "early will I seek thee... my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee." How wise it is for people to turn to the Lord early, for then they are able to prevent the experiences that leave them bruised all through life, as happened to Jonah.* *Jonah's suffering was avoidable. He was sent by God to take the message of salvation to Nineveh, but instead of obeying, he consciously rebelled against God. He bought a ticket and boarded a ship heading in the wrong direction. He thought he could outwit God. But there is no hiding place from God. He trailed Jonah in his escape ship with a tempest, and when he was about to be thrown into the sea, God prepared a whale to swallow him. This is in itself an act of mercy, for it is physically impossible to be in the belly of the whale for three days without dying. It means that God allowed Jonah to sink to the depth of hopelessness in the valley of the shadow of death, and yet granted him the grace to consciously bow at last, to His demands.* *Deep in the belly of the fish, Jonah at last, cried out for mercy from God. He was mortified at the prospect of drowning at sea, and being eternally separated from God. He remembered God, and began to plead passionately to Him for another chance at life. He admitted that he had forsaken his only source of mercy. Now repentant, Jonah pledged his loyalty to God, and promised to redeem his vows, which presumably, included going anywhere the Lord sent him. Expectedly, God graciously extended His salvation to him, and commanded the whale to vomit out Jonah.* *You must avoid being the architect of your misfortune, and flee from the temptation to reject God's word. You do not need to go through near-death experiences before retracing your steps from rebellion and disobedience. Where you have strayed from God's leading and guidance, and have erected your own devices, or excused your moral failures and weakness in character, you must seek God's mercy, asking for grace to follow Him faithfully, serve Him diligently and obey Him completely. Once He sees your sincerity of purpose, He will pardon and bring you back to His perfect will.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*God responds to even prayer made in a fish's belly, but it's better to avoid getting there.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *EXODUS 33-36*📜📜 Flee From Headwinds https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 246: O BROTHER, LIFE'S JOURNEY BEGINNING; GHS 42: CLOSE TO THEE; AND GHS 43: TRUST AND OBEY* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna26thJuly2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [25/07, 9:22 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```SUNDAY 26TH JULY, 2026``` *DON'T BE LEFT BEHIND* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️⚠️‼️🛑🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:1 THESSALONIANS 4:13-18```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first" (1 THESSALONIANS 4:16).*_ *For centuries, the great expectation of saints all over the world is the return of Jesus Christ to take away His sons and daughters from this wicked world. The doctrine of the rapture is not misplaced. Peter and the other apostles heard Christ when He told them He would prepare a place for them in His Father's house and return to take them to Himself to live with Him forever.* *Yet, believers must be aware that Christ also said some might be careless and miss going with Him when He returns. Such careless believers would be left behind. Our passage for today gives hope to all saints of God. It reassures us that Christ would come back for His children, both the living and the dead - those who might die before His return.* *What happens to sinners, backsliders, hypocrites, and nominal church attendees? They will be highly disappointed. They will be shocked to discover that they wasted the privilege of turning to God, and regret the painful repercussions of sinful living.

Ella realized that God's timing had made everything better. *Sometimes, waiting can be hard, but it helps us grow in patience, trust, and preparation. God knows what is best for us and when the right time will come. Trusting His timing means we are allowing Him to work in our lives in the best way possible. God's timing is always perfect, and when the right moment comes, we will be ready to receive His blessings.* 🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥 ```🅿️rayer:``` _*God, help me to trust You and teach me to patiently wait for Your perfect plan.*_ 🙏🏽 ```📖 Further Reading:``` *Psalm 27:13, 14* Trusting God's Timing https://dailymanna.app// *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#SincereMilk26thJuly2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [25/07, 9:23 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILYⓂANNA* SUNDAY 26TH JULY, 2026 *FROM THE DEPTHS TO DELIVERANCE: LESSONS FROM JONAH'S PRAYER* *TEXT:* JONAH 2:1–10 ‭ 1. Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly, 2. and said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, And he heard me; Out of the belly of hell cried I, And thou heardest my voice. 3. For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; And the floods compassed me about: All thy billows and thy waves passed over me. 4. Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. 5. The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: The depth closed me round about, The weeds were wrapped about my head. 6. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with her bars was about me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God. 7. When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: And my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple. 8. They that observe lying vanities Forsake their own mercy. 9. But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD. 10. And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. *Timeless Truth:* _‭The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, And delivereth them out of all their troubles._ (Psalm 34:17) *INTRODUCTION* On October 13, 2010, the world watched with amazement as 33 Chilean miners were rescued after spending 69 days trapped nearly 2,300 feet underground following a mine collapse. For weeks, they lived in darkness with limited supplies, uncertain whether they would ever see daylight again. Yet they prayed together, encouraged one another, and held on to hope until the day rescue finally came. Their deliverance became an international testimony of perseverance and hope in seemingly impossible circumstances. Jonah's experience was even more extraordinary. Because of his disobedience, he found himself in the depths of the sea and inside a great fish. What seemed like the end of his life became the place where he rediscovered the mercy of God. In the darkest moment of his life, Jonah prayed and God answered. Often, God allows us to reach the depths of helplessness so that we may discover the heights of His grace. *“Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shall glorify Me.”* ( Psalm 50:15) The book of Jonah chapter 2 teaches us that sincere repentance, steadfast faith and grateful obedience open the door to God's restoring mercy. Jonah discovered that God's mercy is greater than human failure and that no circumstance is beyond His power to redeem. The question for each of us today is: When God graciously delivers and restores us, will we return to our old ways, or will we rise in grateful obedience and faithfully fulfill His calling? Jonah's prayer reminds us that no place is too deep for God's grace. The depths of the sea could not separate Jonah from the presence of the Lord. What appeared to be a prison became a place of prayer, repentance and renewal. Many believers experience seasons when they feel overwhelmed by failure, guilt, disappointment or suffering. Jonah's testimony assures us that God hears the cry of the repentant heart. *1. The Cry of Genuine Repentance* a. From inside the great fish, Jonah turned to God in humble prayer, which is the recognition of his distress. Jonah acknowledged that he was in great trouble and could not save himself. ‭*The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.* (Psalm 51:17) God hears the humble cry of those who sincerely turn back to Him. Faith clings to God's mercy, rejects false hopes and worships Him even in adversity. b. Jonah recognized that God was still in control, even in the midst of his suffering. Though feeling cast away, Jonah looked again toward God's holy temple in faith. God welcomes sincere repentance. No matter how far we have wandered, His mercy remains available to those who return to Him. *Questions* i. When I fail, do I run from God or return to Him in repentance? ii. Am I willing to acknowledge God's sovereignty even during painful experiences? *2. The Confidence of Growing Faith* a. Although Jonah remained inside the fish, his prayer shifted from despair to confident trust. Jonah remembered the Lord even when hope seemed to disappear. Jonah declared that those who cling to worthless idols forsake God's mercy. *“Little children, keep yourselves from idols.”* (1 John 5:21) b. Jonah promised to offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and fulfill his vows. True faith remembers God's mercy, rejects false securities, and responds with worship and renewed commitment. *Questions* i What "idols" or misplaced confidences might be competing with my trust in God? ii. Do I thank God only after deliverance or do I worship Him while I am still waiting? *3. The Celebration of God's Great Deliverance* a. God answered Jonah's prayer and commanded the fish to release him onto dry land. God delivers His people according to His perfect timing and restores them for His purposes. The same God who prepared the fish also commanded it to release Jonah. God delivered Jonah at exactly the right moment.*“He has made everything beautiful in its time.”* (Ecclesiastes 3:11) b. God restored Jonah, not merely for his comfort, but so he could fulfill the mission to Nineveh. God's deliverance is never an end in itself. He restores us so that we may return to faithful service. *Questions* i. After experiencing God's deliverance, am I faithfully fulfilling His purpose for my life? ii. Do I trust God's timing, even when His answer seems delayed? *Prayer Points* 1. “Lord, give me a humble heart that quickly turns back to You whenever I stray.”🙏 2. “Father, strengthen my faith to trust You even when I cannot see the way forward.”🙏 3. “Lord, restore every area of my life that has been damaged by sin, failure or discouragement.”🙏 4. Heavenly Father, help me obey Your calling faithfully and fulfill the purpose for which You have saved me.🙏 *Hymn:* Amazing Grace *THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* EXODUS 33-36. 2. Morning Prayer for today.
