TODAY'S KINGDOM INSIGHTS: SERMON TOPIC: 3 PLACES IN YOUR HOME THAT NEED PRAYER Theme: When You Pray Over Your House, You Build a Spiritual Wall Around Your Family Your home is more than a building. It is a place where destinies are formed, children are raised, marriages are strengthened, decisions are made, and spiritual battles are sometimes fought. You can lock your doors physically and still leave your home spiritually exposed. That is why prayer must not only happen in the church. Your home must become an altar. Joshua declared: «“As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” — Joshua 24:15» Joshua did not say, “As for me, I will serve the Lord.” He said, “Me and my house.” There are places in your house that should not only be cleaned, decorated, or furnished—they should be covered in prayer. Today, we are looking at three places in your home that need prayer. 1. YOUR BEDROOM — PRAY OVER YOUR REST, MARRIAGE AND PRIVATE LIFE The bedroom is a place of rest, intimacy, vulnerability, and sometimes deep emotional battles. It is where you sleep after the activities of the day. It is also where many people experience anxiety, fear, disturbing thoughts, marital tensions, and spiritual heaviness. Bible Verse «“I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.” — Psalm 4:8» Notice the connection: Sleep + peace + God's protection. Before you sleep, don't only check your phone. Check your spiritual atmosphere. Pray over your bed. Pray for peaceful sleep. Pray over your marriage. Pray against fear and anxiety. Pray for your thoughts. Pray that your home will be a place of peace. For Married Couples The bedroom should not become a battlefield of bitterness. Husbands and wives should learn to pray together. A marriage that prays together is inviting God into its battles. Deep Spiritual Insight The enemy wants to disturb your peace because he knows that a tired, fearful and confused person is easier to discourage. But God gives His beloved sleep. «“He giveth his beloved sleep.” — Psalm 127:2» Prayer “Father, let Your peace fill this bedroom. Let everyone who sleeps here experience divine rest. Protect our minds, our marriage, our bodies and our dreams. Let every atmosphere of fear, confusion and unrest disappear, in Jesus' name.” 2. YOUR LIVING ROOM — PRAY OVER YOUR FAMILY'S WORDS, RELATIONSHIPS AND DECISIONS The living room is where families gather. People talk there. Arguments can happen there. Children learn there. Guests enter there. Important decisions are sometimes made there. Therefore, your living room needs an altar of prayer. Bible Verse «“But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” — Joshua 24:15» The home should have a spiritual identity. Ask yourself: What atmosphere dominates my home? Is it prayer? Is it love? Is it anger? Is it television? Is it social media? Is it gossip? Is it constant quarrelling? Your home will eventually reflect what you consistently permit. A Biblical Example: Cornelius In Acts 10, we meet Cornelius, a man whose household was connected to God. His home became a place where God's presence and instruction were welcomed. The Bible says: «“He was a devout man, and one that feared God with all his house.” — Acts 10:2» Notice the phrase: “With all his house.” One person's spiritual commitment can influence an entire household. Practical Application Make your living room a place where: - The Bible is read. - Children are taught God's Word. - Family prayer happens. - Thanksgiving is offered. - Forgiveness is practiced. - Christian conversations are encouraged. You don't need a large prayer meeting. Sometimes, ten minutes of sincere family prayer can change the atmosphere of a home. Prayer “Lord, let this home be filled with love, wisdom, unity and Your Word. Let our conversations bring grace. Let our decisions be guided by You. Remove bitterness, hatred and unnecessary conflict from this family, in Jesus' name.” 3. YOUR FRONT DOOR / GATE — PRAY OVER WHAT ENTERS AND LEAVES YOUR HOME Your door represents access. People enter through it. Things enter through it. Influences enter through it. And although we should not become superstitious about physical objects, we should understand the spiritual principle of guarding what we allow into our lives and homes. Bible Verse «“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” — Proverbs 4:23» Your home needs boundaries. Not everything should enter your home. Not every conversation should enter your home. Not every relationship should enter your home. Not every piece of entertainment should enter your home. Not every influence should have access to your children. Psalm 101:3 David said: «“I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes.”» This is a powerful principle for the modern home. Today, your front door is not the only entrance into your house. Your phone is a door. Your television is a door. The internet is a door. Social media is a door. What are you allowing to enter? Practical Spiritual Watchfulness Pray: “Lord, give us discernment concerning what we allow into this home.” Don't only pray for God to protect your family. Teach your family what to reject. A REAL-LIFE PICTURE Imagine a father who locks his doors every night. He checks the windows. He installs security lights. He even has security personnel around his compound. But inside the house, nobody prays. There is constant hatred between husband and wife. The children consume anything they find online. The television is always on, but the Bible is rarely opened. The family eats together but hardly prays together. The house may be physically secure but spiritually neglected. The answer is not fear. The answer is Christ-centered living and consistent prayer. 5 PRACTICAL ACTION STEPS 1. Establish a family prayer time. It doesn't have to be one hour. Start with 10–15 minutes daily. 2. Pray in every room. Walk through your home occasionally and pray—not because the walls have magical power, but because your family belongs to God. 3. Watch what enters through your screens. Ask: “Is this content helping my family spiritually or poisoning our atmosphere?” 4. Teach your children to pray. Don't make prayer only the responsibility of the pastor. Teach your children to call upon God themselves. 5. Make your home an altar, not merely a residence. A Christian home should have evidence of Christ. Let there be Scripture. Let there be forgiveness. Let there be worship. Let there be prayer. Let there be love. QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION 1. What atmosphere currently dominates my home? 2. Do we pray together as a family? 3. What are we allowing into our home through our phones and entertainment? 4. Is there unresolved bitterness in my household? 5. If Jesus physically visited my home today, would I be comfortable with everything He would see and hear? 6. Am I building a house or building a godly legacy? POWERFUL PRAYER POINTS 1. Father, let Your presence fill my home and let Your peace rule in every room, in Jesus' name. 2. Every power working against the unity and peace of my household, be defeated in Jesus' name. 3. Lord, protect every member of my family from evil influences and destructive relationships. 4. Father, give our children wisdom and protect them from ungodly influences. 5. Every atmosphere of fear, confusion, hatred and unnecessary conflict in my home, I command it to end, in Jesus' name. 6. Lord, restore every broken relationship in my household. 7. Let my home become a place where Your Word is honoured, Your name is worshipped and Your presence is welcomed. 8. Father, let no member of my household be lost spiritually. Draw us all closer to Christ. 9. Give every parent in this house wisdom to lead this family according to Your Word. 10. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord! CALL TO ACTION Beloved, don't wait until there is a crisis before you pray over your home. Don't wait until your marriage is collapsing. Don't wait until your child has been badly influenced. Don't wait until fear has taken over. Build the altar before the battle comes. Tonight, when you enter your bedroom, pray. When you sit in your living room, pray. When you pass through your door, pray. And remember: Your house may have beautiful furniture, expensive electronics and modern decorations—but the greatest decoration a Christian home can have is the presence of God. Joshua made a decision: «“As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” — Joshua 24:15» Make that decision today. Let your bedroom become a place of peace. Let your living room become a place of unity. Let your home become a place of prayer. Let your family become a testimony of God's faithfulness. PRAY OVER YOUR HOME. PRAY FOR YOUR FAMILY. BUILD THE ALTAR. AND LET CHRIST BE THE HEAD OF YOUR HOUSE. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen. If you have not given your life to Jesus kindly do so by joining a Bible believing Church.

𝐓𝐎𝐏𝐈𝐂: 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐆𝐎𝐃 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐒𝐀𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐄 BIBLICAL TEXT: Genesis 8:20-21 (KJV) After the flood, Noah did not begin by building a house for himself. His first priority was to build an altar unto the Lord. He understood that gratitude, worship, and sacrifice should come before personal comfort. His sacrifice rose before God as a sweet savour, and it marked the beginning of a new season for humanity. "And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord... and offered burnt offerings on the altar. And the Lord smelled a sweet savour." (Genesis 8:20-21 KJV) God never overlooks a genuine sacrifice offered in faith, love, and obedience. While we are saved by grace through faith and not by sacrifices, the Bible repeatedly shows that God notices wholehearted acts of worship, generosity, and devotion. Every sacrifice made according to His will is precious before Him. 𝘼) 𝙉𝙊𝘼𝙃'𝙎 𝙎𝘼𝘾𝙍𝙄𝙁𝙄𝘾𝙀 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘿𝙄𝙑𝙄𝙉𝙀 𝙍𝙀𝙈𝙀𝙈𝘽𝙍𝘼𝙉𝘾𝙀 𝙏𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝙁𝙊𝙇𝙇𝙊𝙒𝙀𝘿 Noah's sacrifice came after a season of suffering, waiting, and obedience. Before asking God for anything, he chose to honour Him. As Noah's offering ascended before God, the Lord declared that He would no longer curse the ground because of man as He had done before. "And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake." (Genesis 8:21 KJV) Your sincere worship, thanksgiving, obedience, and generosity are never wasted. God sees every act of faithfulness, even when no one else notices. 𝘽) 𝙎𝘼𝘾𝙍𝙄𝙁𝙄𝘾𝙀 𝙏𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝘽𝙍𝙄𝙉𝙂𝙎 𝘼𝙉 𝙀𝙉𝘿 𝙏𝙊 𝘿𝙄𝙑𝙄𝙉𝙀 𝙅𝙐𝘿𝙂𝙈𝙀𝙉𝙏 Noah's sacrifice marked the end of judgment and the beginning of mercy. The flood was over, and a new covenant of hope was established. God delights in showing mercy. Through Jesus Christ, the perfect sacrifice has provided forgiveness and reconciliation for all who believe in Him. There are also practical sacrifices that honour God today, including prayer, praise, thanksgiving, generosity, serving His kingdom, supporting His work, and living in obedience. "By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually." (Hebrews 13:15 KJV) Whenever we draw near to God with sincere hearts, we position ourselves to experience His mercy and grace. 𝘾) 𝙃𝙊𝙒 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝘼𝙇𝙏𝘼𝙍 𝘾𝘼𝙉 𝘽𝙀𝘾𝙊𝙈𝙀 𝘼 𝙏𝙀𝙎𝙏𝙄𝙈𝙊𝙉𝙔 𝘽𝙀𝙁𝙊𝙍𝙀 𝙂𝙊𝘿 An altar is more than a place of prayer. It is a place of surrender, worship, thanksgiving, and communion with God. As you consistently maintain your altar through prayer, the study of God's Word, praise, holy living, and faithful giving, your life becomes a testimony of God's faithfulness. Cornelius was another example of a man whose prayers and generous giving were remembered before God. "Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God." (Acts 10:4 KJV) God is not unjust to forget your labour of love. He remembers every sincere act done for His glory. 𝙇𝙄𝙁𝙀 𝘼𝙋𝙋𝙇𝙄𝘾𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉 Many believers have experienced seasons when they felt unnoticed despite their faithfulness. Yet God's timing is always perfect. Noah waited patiently, remained obedient, and honoured God first when his season changed. Continue serving God faithfully. Continue praying, praising, giving, and living a life that pleases Him. Your labour in the Lord is never in vain, and in His appointed time, He will reward faithfulness according to His perfect wisdom. 𝑷𝑹𝑨𝒀𝑬𝑹 𝑷𝑶𝑰𝑵𝑻𝑺 1. O Lord, remember my labour of love and let my sacrifice speak before You, in the name of Jesus Christ. 2. Father, let every season of delay and hardship come to an end by Your mercy, in the name of Jesus Christ. 3. O Lord, make my life a living sacrifice that is holy and acceptable before You, in the name of Jesus Christ. 4. Father, let my prayers, praise, and faithful service rise before You as a sweet savour, in the name of Jesus Christ. 5. Every blessing delayed in my life, receive divine remembrance today, in the name of Jesus Christ. 6. O Lord, establish a new season of favour, restoration, and testimony in my life, in the name of Jesus Christ. 7. Father, let my altar continually bring glory to Your name and become a testimony of Your faithfulness, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Monday, 3rd August, 2026 TITLE: "TRUSTING GOD'S DIRECTION EVERY STEP OF THE WAY" ANCHOR SCRIPTURE(S) Proverbs 3:5–6 (KJV) Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Psalm 32:8 (KJV) I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. QUOTE TO REFLECT ON "God's direction is always the safest path for those who trust Him completely." DAY'S REFLECTION Life is filled with decisions, and every decision shapes our future. God's desire is not for His children to walk in uncertainty but to live under His divine guidance. Proverbs 3:5–6 teaches that true wisdom begins by learning to trust the Lord completely rather than depending on our limited understanding. To trust God means placing complete confidence in His wisdom, character, and promises, even when circumstances seem unclear. Human understanding is often influenced by emotions, experience, and limited knowledge, but God sees both the beginning and the end. Therefore, we are commanded not to lean on our own understanding but to rely on His perfect wisdom. The instruction to acknowledge Him in all thy ways means inviting God into every area of life—our family, career, ministry, finances, relationships, and daily decisions. When Christ is honoured as Lord over every aspect of our lives, He faithfully directs our paths, leading us away from danger and toward His perfect will. In Psalm 32:8, God gives a beautiful promise: "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go." He is not a distant observer but a loving Father who personally teaches, guides, and watches over His children. His guidance comes through His Word, the Holy Spirit, prayer, and godly counsel. As we remain close to Him, we become more sensitive to His direction. The safest place in life is not where circumstances appear easiest but where God's will is being followed. When we surrender our plans to Him, He transforms uncertainty into confidence and confusion into clarity. Trusting God's direction today will save us from many unnecessary mistakes tomorrow. MEDITATION SCRIPTURE(S) Isaiah 30:21 (KJV) And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. James 1:5 (KJV) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. LIFE LESSONS (IMPLICATIONS) 1. God's wisdom is far greater than human understanding. 2. Trusting God requires surrendering our own plans to His perfect will. 3. God faithfully guides those who seek Him through His Word, prayer, and obedience. 4. Acknowledging God in every area of life leads to clarity, stability, and peace. EVERYDAY ACTION Seek God's guidance before making decisions, study His Word daily, pray consistently, and obey His direction without hesitation. PRAYER Heavenly Father, teach me to trust You with all my heart. Direct my steps, grant me wisdom, and help me follow Your will in every decision I make. In Jesus' name, Amen. DECLARATION I trust the Lord with all my heart. He is directing my paths, ordering my steps, and leading me in His perfect will. I will not be guided by fear or human understanding but by God's unfailing wisdom. Amen. Devotion by Rev.

Hello, I would like to share with you the message from 3 août 2026 from “The Good Seed” daily calendar. But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light. (1 Peter 2:9) Royal priests Through faith in the Lord Jesus, we are not only holy priests who worship God. We also form a royal priesthood. This describes our position on earth and our service towards others. The Apostle Peter uses four expressions to describe our position:  1. As a “chosen generation”, we have been appointed by God to be His witnesses in the age of grace and to make people acquainted with Him.  2. The term “royal priesthood” emphasises the high dignity that God has bestowed upon us. He has honoured us so that we may bring great blessings to our fellow human beings.  3. As a “holy nation”, we are reserved for God. He has set us apart for Himself and separated us to send us as His witnesses to others.  4. We are “His own special people”. This means that we belong to God. He has a claim on us and our lives. This should be evident to the people around us.  God has entrusted us with the task of proclaiming His virtues or attributes. This happens not only through words but through our entire behaviour as Christians. Our lives should display Christ, who has revealed God in all His attributes. – As royal priests, we serve people. We present Christ to them so that they may come to know God through Him. Thus, we are His witnesses. Today’s reading: Joshua 8:24-35 – 1 Corinthians 7:12-24

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.

The State Government raised a podium and set Queen on it, for everybody present to file past to salute the queen. God has promised to bless and honour His children who are obedient to Him. 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. That was His promise to Israel and to anyone that does His will. That honour manifested in God making Israel fruitful, established and secured. *You must do everything to gain the honour, respect, blessing, favour, goodness and mercy of God.

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. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou [art] God. ⏤ Psalm 90:1-2 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. ⏤ Martin Luther Lord, You have been our dwelling place through 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. The mountains may crumble, and the hills may disappear. Our souls are immortal and can’t find a lasting home on this earth—no place where they will be sure of undisturbed rest forever. Only You are enduring and eternal, and only in You can our souls find a home, a refuge of love that will last forever. Help us to make our home in You. We thank You for our earthly home. We thank You for the love that binds us together, for the refuge we find here from the world’s hostilities. Here we can trust each other and be sure of each other’s love. Deepen our home affections. Draw us closer together as a family. Make our home life sweeter. Help us to be more supportive of each other. Teach us patience as we live together. 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.

TODAY'S KINGDOM INSIGHTS SERMON TOPIC: RISING COST OF LIVING. Theme: God Is Still Our Provider in Difficult Times. A Message That Touches Every Home. Almost every family is feeling the pressure of today's economy. Food prices keep rising. Transportation costs are increasing. Rent is becoming difficult to pay. Many people work harder than ever, yet their income seems insufficient. The question is not, "Does God know what is happening?" The real question is, "How should believers respond when the cost of living keeps rising?" The Bible reminds us that although economies may fail, God never fails. Inflation may increase, but God's promises never lose their value. > Psalm 37:25 "I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread." This is not merely a promise of financial abundance, but an assurance of God's faithful care for those who trust Him. Key Bible Texts Matthew 6:31–33 > "Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink?... But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Philippians 4:19 > "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Paul wrote these words while facing hardship. God's provision is not limited by economic conditions. Psalm 23:1 > "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." The Shepherd knows how to feed His sheep, even in dry seasons. 1. Difficult Times Should Draw Us Closer to God, Not Away from Him Economic hardship often reveals where our confidence truly lies. Some become discouraged. Some lose hope. Some compromise their integrity. But God's children are called to trust Him more deeply. When the widow of Zarephath met Elijah (1 Kings 17), she had only one final meal left. Yet when she obeyed God's instruction, her flour and oil did not run out. Lesson: God specializes in sustaining His people when resources appear exhausted. 2. God's Provision Often Comes Through Wisdom and Diligence Faith is not laziness. The Bible encourages planning, hard work, and wise management. > Proverbs 6:6-8 "Go to the ant... consider her ways, and be wise. God blesses: Honest labour Wise budgeting Saving where possible Avoiding unnecessary debt Contentment instead of endless comparison Prayer opens doors, but wisdom helps us walk through them. 3. Never Compromise Your Integrity Because of Financial Pressure Many people justify fraud, bribery, corruption, and dishonesty because life has become expensive. But temporary gain can lead to lasting regret. > Proverbs 10:2 "Treasures of wickedness profit nothing." God can bless clean hands more than dishonest wealth. Joseph refused compromise in Egypt. Daniel refused corruption in Babylon. God eventually honoured them publicly. 4. Learn the Secret of Contentment The world teaches us to measure success by possessions. The Bible teaches us to measure success by our relationship with Christ. Paul declared: > Philippians 4:11-12 "I have learned... to be content." Contentment does not mean lacking ambition. It means refusing to allow possessions to control your peace. 5. God Uses Difficult Seasons to Build Strong Faith Storms reveal strong foundations. Economic hardship teaches us: Dependence on God Gratitude Compassion Patience Generosity Sometimes God does not immediately remove the challenge because He is developing stronger character within us. Biblical Case Study: Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath (1 Kings 17:8–16) The widow was preparing her last meal before expecting death from famine. God instructed Elijah to ask her for food. Human reasoning would say, "She has almost nothing." But obedience released divine provision. The flour never finished. The oil never failed. God did not send truckloads of food. He sustained her day after day. Lesson: God's provision may not always come as abundance overnight, but He is faithful to sustain His children one day at a time. Practical Action Steps 1. Put God first in every decision. 2. Pray consistently for wisdom and open doors. 3. Work diligently and develop useful skills. 4. Manage money carefully and avoid waste. 5. Refuse dishonest ways of making money. 6. Help others whenever you can. 7. Keep thanking God even while waiting for greater breakthroughs. Deep Spiritual Insights God's economy is greater than the world's economy. Provision is rooted in God's faithfulness, not merely in market conditions. Financial hardship should strengthen our dependence on God rather than weaken our faith. The greatest poverty is not lack of money but lack of God's presence. A believer's security is ultimately found in Christ, not in changing economic circumstances. Questions for Reflection 1. Where do I place my trust—my income or God? 2. Have financial pressures affected my spiritual life? 3. Am I managing God's blessings wisely? 4. Have I been tempted to compromise my integrity? 5. How can I encourage someone facing financial hardship? Prayer Points 1. Father, strengthen my faith in these difficult economic times. 2. Lord, provide for every need in my family according to Your riches in glory. 3. Grant me wisdom to manage every resource You have entrusted to me. 4. Open new doors of honest employment, business, and opportunity. 5. Deliver me from fear, anxiety, and hopelessness. 6. Protect me from every temptation to compromise my integrity. 7. Bless the work of my hands and establish me in fruitfulness. 8. Let Your peace rule in my heart regardless of economic conditions. 9. Remember the poor, the unemployed, widows, and vulnerable families with Your mercy. 10. Bring healing, justice, and righteous leadership to our nation, that communities may flourish and people may live in peace. Call to Action The rising cost of living is real, but it is not greater than the power of God. The Lord who fed Israel in the wilderness, sustained the widow during famine, and multiplied the loaves and fish is still able to provide today. Do not let fear define your future. Trust God wholeheartedly, work faithfully, live with integrity, and remain steadfast in prayer. As you seek first His kingdom, believe that He will guide you, sustain you, and supply your needs according to His perfect wisdom and timing. May the God who provides open doors where there seem to be no doors, strengthen every weary heart, and fill every home with His peace and faithful provision. Amen.

DAY 14 - Morning Theme: LOVE IN ACTION – BUILDING A MARRIAGE THAT SERVES 🌅 Reflection A Home That Reflects Christ Good morning, The greatest compliment a family can receive is not, "You have a beautiful house." It is: "We see Christ in your home." When love, humility, prayer, hospitality and forgiveness become daily habits, our homes quietly preach the Gospel. People may forget our furniture. They rarely forget how they felt in our presence. 📖 God's Word "By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another." — John 13:35 ❤️ Today's Love Action Welcome someone with kindness today or pray together as a family for another household. Let's Talk If someone spent one week in your home, what would they learn about Christ? Prayer Lord Jesus, make our home a place where Your love is seen, Your Word is honoured and Your peace is experienced. Amen. 🌿 From The Counselor's Chair A Christ-centred home is not a perfect home. It is a home where Christ is welcomed every day. Marriage Nugget "The strongest testimony of a Christian marriage is not perfection but the visible presence of Christ." Remember In marriage, it is not about winning the argument; it is about winning each other's hearts

What does it imply when a Bible is present on the table of the inauguration ceremony if we are not certain that the one stating his or her commitment when taking office, submits to the authority of God and His Word? The swearing of allegiance to the Republic / Country (and its people) by a new President is a constitutional requirement and a formal ceremony held during the presidential inauguration, where the incoming leader takes an official Oath of Office to legally bind themselves to the country and its Constitution. In doing so a Bible is presented which would implicate an acceptance of a Godly calling where God is honoured with words in an oath, taken in a public statement to be faithful to the specific country. To obey, to observe, uphold and maintain the Constitution and all other law of the Republic; and to solemnly and sincerely promise to always- • promote all that will advance the Republic or country, and oppose all that may harm it; • protect and promote the rights of all South Africans; • discharge my duties with all my strength and talents to the best of my knowledge and ability and true to the dictates of my conscience; • do justice to all; and • devote myself to the well-being of the Republic / country and all of its people. So help me God. Where this statement and list of commitments were made with no true regard for the God, our Heavenly Father or His Word, where the declared Oath was made in its presence and even concluded by calling Him for guidance & assistance, it would be futile and of no value. In Scripture, as written in thus Bible at hand on the table during the Oath, it is quoted in Deuteronomy 17:18 to 20 it reflects on the obligation of instated Kings which would clearly be applicable to today’s appointed Presidents as follow: V18 When he becomes king (President), he is to HAVE A COPY OF THE BOOK OF GOD'S LAWS AND TEACHINGS… V19 HE IS TO KEEP THIS BOOK NEAR HIM AND READ FROM IT ALL HIS LIFE, so that he will LEARN TO HONOR THE LORD AND TO OBEY FAITHFULLY EVERYTHING THAT IS COMMANDED IN IT. V20 This will keep him from thinking that he is better than other and from disobeying the Lord's commands in any way. Then he will reign for many years,… Let us all take hands with SATM (Southern Africa Truckers Ministry) in praying that all Presidents would take heed and honour their Oath taken during their inauguration. May they accept accountability for this enormous responsibility to a country and its people who look up at him, and where he did not accept this responsibility, may God forgive Him and bring such President to his senses. Please be safe on the road and arrive

‎LIFE GATE DAILY: A Quiet Time Manual With REVELATION CODEX  for Spiritual Excellence By Pastor Babajide Charles Ihimodu ( The Narrow Way Christian Ministries) ‎Sunda,y June 28, 2026 ‎Morning ‎Topic: The Architecture of the Upper Room ‎Texts: ⁴ 2 Kings 4:8-11, 14-16a, Psalm 89:2-3, 16-19, Romans 6:3-4, 8-11 and Matthew 10:37-42  ‎Memory Verse: Matthew 10:39 ‎Opening Prayer ‎Lord of the Sabbath, I awake this morning and step away from the crowded, noisy streets of my own ambitions. I confess that my mind is often so cluttered with earthly anxieties that there is no space for Your presence to rest. As I prepare to enter Your sanctuary today with Your people, I ask You to clear away the debris of my distractions. Help me build a quiet upper room in my soul today—a space dedicated entirely to You, where Your word can take root and Your peace can dwell. Amen. ‎Hymn ‎"Take My Life and Let It Be" ‎Introduction: Making Room for the Holy ‎We enter Sunday morning seeking a divine encounter, hoping God will speak to our exhaustion and replenish our souls for the week ahead. Yet, we often walk into corporate worship with minds utterly jam-packed with the luggage of the marketplace. . ‎In today’s first reading, a wealthy Shunammite woman recognise the holiness of the prophet Elisha passing through her town. She does not just offer him a quick meal; she completely alters the architecture of her home. She says to her husband, *"Let us make a small roof chamber with walls, and put there for him a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp."* She built a dedicated space for the holy. ‎“Christ says ‘Give me all. I don’t want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want you. I have not come to torment your natural self, but to kill it... Hand over the whole natural self, all the desires which you think innocent as well as the ones you think wicked—the whole outfit. I will give you a new self instead. In fact, I will give you Myself.’--C.S. Lewis ‎Today, The Revelation Codex asks you a piercing question: Have you made room for the King, or is He just a passing visitor in the crowded house of your life? To find the true life Christ promises, you must deliberately lose the cluttered life you are so desperately trying to hold together. ‎Reflection: The Cost of the Open Door ‎The Furnished Chamber (2 Kings 4:10):** The Shunammite woman didn't just clear a corner; she provided a bed (rest), a table (communion), a chair (attention), and a lamp (revelation). True spiritual hospitality requires intentionality. ‎The Codex Mirror: When you sit in the pew today, what will occupy your mind? Are you providing the Holy Spirit a chair of undivided attention, or will you spend the hour mentally scrolling through tomorrow's to-do list? ‎The Cross of Relinquishment (Matthew 10:38-39): Jesus speaks a hard, violent truth: to be worthy of Him, you must take up your cross. The cross is an instrument of death to your right to rule yourself. We lose our lives by surrendering our tight grip on our own agendas. ‎The Codex Mirror: The miracle of the Shunammite woman was that in making room for the prophet, she was given the one thing she thought was impossible—a son. When you empty yourself of your own demands this morning and give God the space, He fills it with resurrection life. ‎Life Application: Clearing the Space ‎THE DIGITAL FAST: Refuse to look at your emails, social media, or news feeds before you enter corporate worship today. Keep the upper room of your mind completely empty of the world's noise so it is ready for the Word. ‎THE OPEN HAND: As the worship music begins today, physically open your hands and rest them palms-up on your lap. Let it be a physical declaration: "I am holding onto nothing. My life is Yours." ‎REVELATION CODEX: Transcribing the Codex. Write the answers to these questions in your REVELATION CODEX Notebook, Phone or PC Notebook. Help yourself, Give honest and sincere answers: ‎WHAT I HEAR (The Rhema Word): (What specific earthly affection or worry is the Spirit asking you to move out of the way today to make room for Him?) ` ‎WHAT I SEE (The Discernment) ‎(Where is the enemy trying to crowd your mind with distractions to keep you from experiencing deep corporate worship this morning?) ‎WHAT I RECEIVE (The Impartation): ‎(Take the grace of a cleared mind and an open heart from the altar right now. ‎Conclusion ‎You do not have to fight for your own life today. Step out of the exhausting business of self-preservation. Build the room, light the lamp, and prepare the table. Go into the house of the Lord today completely empty of yourself, and watch how quickly the Father fills the space. ‎Closing Prayer ‎Father, I surrender my schedule, my reputation, and my earthly affections to You. I want to lose my life in Yours. As I join the congregation of the saints today, keep my mind sharp and my spirit attentive. Let my heart be a furnished room where Your presence is honoured above all else. Amen.
