    “WHO GOD IS TO ME”
    MY HIDING PLACE
    Psalm 32:7 (LLV) —
    “You are my hiding place; You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.”
    Sometimes
    we need
    a place
    to hide.
    Not because
    we are running
    from life.
    Not because
    we refuse
    to face
    what lies
    before us.
    But because
    our hearts
    need somewhere
    safe
    to become
    quiet again.
    David knew
    such a place.
    “You are
    my hiding place.”
    Notice
    that David
    does not say,
    “You provide
    a hiding place
    for me.”
    He says,
    “You are.”
    God Himself
    was the place
    David could go.
    When guilt
    weighed heavily
    upon him.
    When enemies
    surrounded him.
    When fear
    filled his thoughts.
    When life
    became too loud,
    David knew
    where to retreat.
    To God.
    There is
    a difference
    between hiding
    from God
    and hiding
    in God.
    We hide
    from God
    when shame
    makes us afraid
    to come near.
    We hide
    in God
    when we finally
    understand
    that He is
    the safest place
    we can go.
    We do not
    have to arrive
    with everything
    figured out.
    We do not
    have to pretend
    we are stronger
    than we feel.
    We can simply
    come.
    And remain
    for a while.
    “You will protect me
    from trouble.”
    David does not say
    trouble
    will never come.
    He had already
    experienced
    far too much
    to believe that.
    But trouble
    would never have
    the final word.
    Then David says:
    “You surround me
    with songs
    of deliverance.”
    What a change.
    At first,
    David is surrounded
    by trouble.
    But when he rests
    in God,
    he discovers
    something else
    surrounding him.
    Deliverance.
    Grace.
    Faithfulness.
    The evidence
    of all the times
    God has already
    carried him through.
    Perhaps
    we sometimes
    need to become
    quiet enough
    to hear
    those songs again.
    To remember
    the prayers
    God answered.
    The doors
    He opened.
    The strength
    He provided.
    The valleys
    He carried us
    through.
    And the grace
    that met us
    when we thought
    we had wandered
    too far.
    There will always
    be noise
    outside
    our hiding place.
    But inside,
    there is
    a familiar voice
    reminding us:
    You are safe
    with Me.
    A new beginning sometimes begins by withdrawing for a little while:
    when life becomes too loud for my heart, God Himself is my hiding place.
    Reflection: When my heart becomes overwhelmed, where do I instinctively retreat—and have I learned simply to become quiet in the presence of God?
    Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for being my hiding place. When life becomes noisy, when worries crowd my thoughts, or when my own heart becomes weary, draw me close to You. Teach me the difference between hiding from You and finding shelter in You. Quiet my heart long enough to remember Your faithfulness and hear again the songs of deliverance with which You surround me. In Jesus' name, Amen.

  • Have you met them yet?

    The Chosen isn't just another Bible film. It's the story of ordinary people — a fisherman drowning in debt, a tax collector everyone despised, a woman the town had written off — who met the Savior and were never the same again.

    That's what makes it so moving. You don't watch distant saints in golden halos. You watch people like us: doubting, tired, afraid, making mistakes — and yet choosing to believe. And through their eyes, Jesus becomes wonderfully close: someone who laughs, listens, and calls each person by name.

    Seasons 1–5 are streaming now on https://watch.thechosen.tv/season-1 , and Season 6 premieres on 15 November 2026 — the story leading to the cross. There's never been a better moment to start.

  • THE HARD TRUTH ABOUT ETERNITY
    “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” —Matthew 28:19–20 
    A Christian father who was terminally ill called his three sons to his bedside. To his two sons who were believers, he said, “Goodbye, my sons. I will see you in the morning.”
    Turning to his third son, he simply and sadly said, “Goodbye, my son.” 
    The young man was deeply disturbed. He said, “Father, why is it you said to my brothers, ‘I will see you in the morning,’ and you only said to me, ‘Goodbye, my son’? Why didn’t you say you would see me in the morning, too?” 
    His father replied, “Son, you have never asked Jesus Christ into your heart to be your Savior and Lord. And that is what breaks my heart the most. I will never see you again.”
    That son began to ask his father how he could be saved, how he could see his father again. His father told him how.
    The son prayed and received Christ into his life. Then his father said, “Now our family will be together in eternity.” 
    That can happen for everyone who has put their faith in Christ.
    It will be a great reunion one day in the future. But what does the unbeliever have to look forward to? Judgment after death and a miserable, empty life on earth.
    There might be some fun in sin—for a while. But payday comes.
    The hard truth about eternal life is found in the apostle Paul’s words in Romans 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death” (NLT). 
    That’s why believers are called to share the gospel far and wide, as the Christian father in the story did with his son.
    In what’s known as the Great Commission, Jesus gave His followers these instructions: “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:19–20 NLT). 
    Eternal life is the hope believers cling to when the things of this life start to overwhelm us.
    There’s a reason that John 3:16 is perhaps the best-known passage in all of Scripture. Jesus’ words to Nicodemus still resonate powerfully today: “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life” (NLT). 
    If you do not commit your life to Christ, ultimately you will look back on your life and realize that you wasted it. But don’t wait until the end of your life to figure that out. Figure it out now. 
    God bless you

  • DAY 25 - Morning
    Theme: BUILDING A SAFE HOME: Creating a Marriage Where Love, Respect and Peace Can Grow

    Reflection
    Honour Family Without Losing Your Marriage

    Good morning,
    Family is a blessing.
    Parents matter.
    In-laws matter.
    Extended family matters.
    But marriage also creates a new primary family unit.
    Sometimes the challenge is not that in-laws are bad people. The challenge is boundaries.
    A mother may mean well but become too involved.
    A father may offer advice that creates tension.
    A sibling may expect more than the couple can reasonably give.
    The answer is not disrespect.
    It is healthy boundaries expressed with honour.
    Jesus taught us to honour our parents, but marriage also carries the principle of leaving and cleaving.

    God's Word
    "That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife." — Genesis 2:24

    Today's Love Action
    Discuss with your spouse one family boundary that would protect your marriage while still showing honour to your families.

    Let's Talk
    How can couples honour extended family without allowing outside pressure to divide them?

    Prayer
    Lord, give us wisdom to honour our families while protecting the unity of our marriage. Help us establish boundaries without bitterness or disrespect. Amen.

    From My Counselor's Chair
    A boundary is not a wall against family. It is a clear line that helps relationships remain healthy.

    Marriage Nugget
    "Honour your family, but don't sacrifice your marriage on the altar of people-pleasing."

    Remember
    In marriage, it is not about winning the argument; it is about winning each other's hearts.

  • OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

    DATE: TUESDAY 25TH AUGUST 2026

    TOPIC: FEAR GOD, PART 1

    MEMORIZE:
    "But the Lord your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies." 2 Kings 17:39 (KJV)

    BIBLE READING: PSALM 112:1-9
    1 Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

    2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

    3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

    4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

    5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

    6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

    7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.

    8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

    9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

    MESSAGE:
    The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom (Psalm 111:10); therefore, anyone who does not fear God is not wise. He is a Consuming Fire (Hebrews 12:29), and those who do not fear Him are truly foolish because even a mad dog fears fire. Psalm 111:10 also means that those who fear God become wise.

    Apart from wisdom, however, there are many other benefits to fearing God, and today's Bible reading outlines many of them. One of the benefits is that the seed of a person who fears God will be mighty upon the earth (Psalm 112:2). That same verse also tells us that the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Psalm 112:3 says that you will have access to wealth and riches when you fear God. Also, Psalm 112:7 says that you will not be afraid of evil tidings. People who fear God do not need to be afraid of anything because He will deliver them out of the hands of all their enemies and everything that can harm them.

    Those who do not fear God will find it easy to commit sins, and this can bring a curse upon them and their descendants. For example, Gehazi's lack of fear for the Lord caused him and his descendants to become carriers of the leprosy that was previously upon Naaman (2 Kings 5:20-27). Whenever a person acts in a way that shows that he or she does not fear God, such a person robs his or her children of the opportunity to be great and exposes them to curses rather than blessings.

    Joab was another person whose lack of fear for the Lord brought curses upon his lineage. In (2 Samuel 3:27-29), the Bible details how he tricked Abner and murdered him in cold blood. When David heard about it, he placed a curse on Joab's lineage that sicknesses, leprosy, poverty, weakness, and untimely death would befall Joab's family and his descendants. People who do not fear God purchase trouble for their children.

    Beloved, if you want your future and that of your children to be glorious, you need to have the fear of God in you. If you're going to have peace of mind in your old age, you must fear God. The reason I am sure that my tomorrow and those of my children will be alright is that I fear the Lord. I pray that your life and those of your descendants will be filled with blessings and not curses, in Jesus' name.

    KEY POINT:
    The fear of the Lord guarantees God's blessings for you and your lineage.

    AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

    BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR:
    EZEKIEL 5 - 8

    HYMNAL 7 - I AM THINE O LORD
    1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
    and it told Thy love to me;
    but I long to rise in the arms of faith,
    and be closer drawn to Thee.

    REFRAIN:
    Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
    to the cross where Thou hast died;
    draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
    to Thy precious, bleeding side.

    2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
    by the pow'r of grace divine;
    let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
    and my will be lost in Thine.

    [Refrain]

    3 O, the pure delight of a single hour
    that before Thy throne I spend,
    when I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
    I commune as friend with friend!

    [Refrain]

    4 There are depths of love that I cannot know
    till I cross the narrow sea;
    there are heights of joy that I may not reach
    till I rest in peace with Thee.

    [Refrain]

Those who do not fear God will find it easy to commit sins, and this can bring a curse upon them and their descendants. For example, Gehazi's lack of fear for the Lord caused him and his descendants to become carriers of the leprosy that was previously upon Naaman (2 Kings 5:20-27). Whenever a person acts in a way that shows that he or she does not fear God, such a person robs his or her children of the opportunity to be great and exposes them to curses rather than blessings. Joab was another person whose lack of fear for the Lord brought curses upon his lineage. In (2 Samuel 3:27-29), the Bible details how he tricked Abner and murdered him in cold blood. When David heard about it, he placed a curse on Joab's lineage that sicknesses, leprosy, poverty, weakness, and untimely death would befall Joab's family and his descendants. People who do not fear God purchase trouble for their children. Beloved, if you want your future and that of your children to be glorious, you need to have the fear of God in you. If you're going to have peace of mind in your old age, you must fear God. The reason I am sure that my tomorrow and those of my children will be alright is that I fear the Lord. I pray that your life and those of your descendants will be filled with blessings and not curses, in Jesus' name. KEY POINT: The fear of the Lord guarantees God's blessings for you and your lineage. AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR: EZEKIEL 5 - 8 HYMNAL 7 - I AM THINE O LORD 1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice, and it told Thy love to me; but I long to rise in the arms of faith, and be closer drawn to Thee. REFRAIN: Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to the cross where Thou hast died; draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to Thy precious, bleeding side. 2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord, by the pow'r of grace divine; let my soul look up with a steadfast hope, and my will be lost in Thine. [Refrain] 3 O, the pure delight of a single hour that before Thy throne I spend, when I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God, I commune as friend with friend! [Refrain] 4 There are depths of love that I cannot know till I cross the narrow sea; there are heights of joy that I may not reach till I rest in peace with Thee.

  • WHY SHOULD YOU HONOUR MEN? — AND WHAT IF YOUR MIRACLE IS CONNECTED TO IT?
    ‎Sometimes the person carrying the answer to your next season doesn't look like a miracle.
    ‎In Part 1 of The Wisdom Table, Vessel of Grace takes us into one of the most overlooked biblical principles: HONOUR.
    ‎We explore a provocative question:
    ‎Could familiarity make you lose access to what God placed in someone?
    ‎From the wedding at Cana to Jesus' warning about honouring a prophet, this episode challenges the way we see pastors, mentors, parents, leaders, teachers—and even ordinary people God may use to influence our lives.
    ‎But there's a deeper question:
    ‎How do you recognize the people you should honour?
    ‎This isn't about worshipping people or blindly submitting to everyone. It's about discernment, humility and recognizing value where God has placed it.
    ‎ The Wisdom Table
    ‎Where faith meets wisdom, and conversations reveal truth.
    ‎Watch Part 1. Then ask yourself: “Have I done an honour check?”

  • Dear Father,

    I love the teaching style of Jesus, particularly because He used parables to make illustrations, and from these parables, so much can be deduced. Today, I pondered the Parable of the Talents, which says: “The kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his servants and entrusted his goods unto them. He gave one five talents, another two, and another one. The one with five talents traded and gained five more talents, and he that had received two also gained two more. The last one did nothing with what he was given…”

    However, between the periods of receiving the talents and the reward lies a season of struggle. Such great conversions are not instantaneous; if they were, they would all have brought back returns. And perhaps the five talents measured as returns for the five given were not a literal representation of how his harvest was without losses. Perhaps, in the process of conversion, he gained some harvests and some lessons. And perhaps both the lessons and the fruits are counted as gains in this kingdom.

    In seamlessly telling the story, He had no intention of bypassing the struggle; He left us to discern the various ways in which it applies: that both the fruits and the lessons are counted as gains in this kingdom, so long as we proceed-- not to bury what has been entrusted to us, but to put it to use.

    I’d like to write You about the struggles and the lessons I’ve encountered, and how all people see are the fruits. But do I need to? When most of all, You see how in the midst of all these, I’ve grown.
