🌅 *THURSDAY MORNING DEVOTION - 27TH AUGUST 2026.*
*Theme: Mighty in Words and Deeds*

*Reflection*
Do you have a Serge to do something? Is there a vision you want to manifest. Preparation is vital before you manifest.
God wants you to develop through learning, discipline and experience.
What if God is waiting for you to be established in all wisdom and understanding before the vision manifests.

📖 *Scripture*
Acts 7:22
“And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.”

*Message*

Acts 7:22 gives us a powerful picture of preparation before manifestation.
Moses had been raised in Egypt and trained in its wisdom. Before he ever stood before Pharaoh, God had allowed him to pass through a season of learning, development, and preparation.
Scripture says he became...
“Mighty in words and in deeds.”
This teaches us that God is interested not only in your spiritual passion, but also in your development.
There are things God can put in you instantly, but there are other things He develops through process, learning, discipline, and experience.

God Can Use Your Preparation
Moses' Egyptian education was not ultimately his calling, but God could use the preparation he received there.
Sometimes you may wonder...
“Why am I learning this?”
“Why am I going through this season?”
“Why am I developing these skills?”
Don't despise preparation.
God can take knowledge, experience, skills, relationships, and lessons from your past and bring them into His purpose.
Nothing surrendered to God is wasted.

Mighty in Words
Moses would eventually stand before Pharaoh and speak the Word of God.
Your voice matters.
What you know must eventually become something you can communicate.
Don't only seek knowledge, seek understanding.
Don't only read the Word, learn to explain it.
Don't only receive revelation, develop the ability to communicate it clearly.
God may have placed a message inside you that someone else needs to hear.
Prepare your voice.

Mighty in Deeds
But Moses wasn't only mighty in words.
He was also mighty in deeds.
This is important because God's Kingdom is not built by words alone.
Your life must give evidence to what you believe.
Your character must support your message.
Your obedience must support your preaching.
Your actions must agree with your convictions.
Don't become someone who speaks beautifully but lives contradictorily.
Let your words carry truth and let your life demonstrate that truth.

Preparation Before Assignment
Moses spent years in places that seemed disconnected from his ultimate assignment.
But God was preparing him.
Then came the burning bush.
Then came the commission.
Then came Pharaoh.
Then came deliverance.
The public assignment was preceded by years of preparation.
Therefore, if you are currently in a season of learning, growing, developing, or being refined, don't despise it.
Your preparation may be connected to your future assignment.
Before God puts you before people, He often develops what He intends to release through you.

*Reflection*
Is there something and somewhere I've not learned?
What is driving me in doing what I'm doing, do I have the wisdom to develop in all ways?
God does not only want to use what is already in you; He also wants to develop what He has placed in you.
Be willing to learn. Be willing to grow. Be willing to prepare.
One day, what you developed in secret may become a tool God uses publicly.

*Prayer*

Father, thank You for every season of preparation.
Give me grace to learn, grow, and develop the gifts You have placed within me.
Help me not to despise my current season because I cannot yet see its connection to my future.
Make me mighty in words, able to communicate Your truth clearly.
Make me mighty in deeds, so that my life demonstrates what I proclaim.
Prepare me for every assignment You have ordained for me.
And when the time comes, may I be ready to stand and fulfill Your purpose.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

*Declaration*

I am being prepared for God's purpose.
I will not despise my process.
I will learn.
I will grow.
I will develop my gifts.
I will become mighty in words and deeds.
My words will carry truth.
My actions will carry evidence.
My preparation will serve God's purpose.
What God is developing in me today will become a tool for His purpose tomorrow.
Amen.

*H.T.L THURSDAY 27TH AUGUST MORNING DEVOTION.*
-With Reinnhardt Bonnkeh

26/08/2026

🌅 *WEDNESDAY MORNING DEVOTION - 26TH AUGUST 2026.*
*Theme: What Comes Out Reveals What Is Within*

*Reflection*
In a time where you think you know someone when they haven't expressed what is inside is a deception. In order to get to understand them, allow them express themselves then you'll know who they really are. We shouldn't judge people from the outside looks.
What if God is waiting for you to see which people you're close to.

📖 *Scripture*
Matthew 15:11, 18
“Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”
“But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.”

*Message*

Jesus takes us deeper than outward behaviour and brings us to the condition of the heart.
We often think the greatest danger is what enters us, what we watch, hear, encounter, or experience. But Jesus says something even more searching:
What comes out of you reveals what is already inside you.
The mouth is not the source.
The heart is the source.
Words are often a window into the inner life.
When anger repeatedly comes out, it reveals something that needs healing within.
When bitterness comes out, it reveals something unresolved within.
When pride comes out, it reveals something that needs surrender within.
When love, wisdom, patience, and grace come out, they reveal something that God has been forming within.
Therefore, the Christian life is not merely about controlling your mouth.
It is about allowing God to transform your heart.

You Cannot Permanently Fix the Fruit Without Addressing the Root
A person can learn to control their words for a while.
They can smile while angry.
They can remain silent while bitter.
They can use religious language while carrying hatred.
But eventually, pressure reveals what has been stored within.
Pressure does not create everything that comes out, it often reveals what is already there.
That is why God wants more than external correction.
He wants a transformed heart.
When the heart is healed, the speech begins to change.
When the heart is filled with God's Word, the mouth begins to speak differently.
When the heart is filled with love, love begins to overflow.

Proverbs says...
“Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.”
What you continually allow into your heart eventually influences what comes out of your life.
So ask yourself...
What am I feeding my heart?
If you constantly feed on fear, fear will eventually speak.
If you feed on offense, offense will eventually speak.
If you feed on God's Word, truth will eventually speak.
If you cultivate gratitude, thanksgiving will eventually speak.
What fills the heart eventually finds a voice.

Jesus is not simply asking us to watch our words.
He is asking...
“What kind of heart is producing these words?”
Don't only pray...
"Lord, help me stop saying the wrong things."
Also pray...
“Lord, transform the place from which those words are coming.”
Heal the wounded places.
Remove bitterness.
Deal with pride.
Cleanse wrong motives.
Restore love.
Fill the heart with truth.
Because when the inside changes, the outside begins to change naturally.

*Reflection*

Which people I'm I walking with?
Do I really appreciate who they are and are they contributing to my spiritual life?
What things have I allowed to enter my ears.
A heart that produces good words will always contribute to a positive health growth.

*Prayer*

Father, search my heart and reveal everything that does not look like You.
Cleanse me from bitterness, pride, anger, hatred, jealousy, and every wrong attitude.
Fill my heart with Your Word, Your love, Your wisdom, and Your Spirit.
Let the words that come from my mouth bring life and not destruction.
When something wrong comes out of me, help me not only to correct the words but to allow You to heal the root within me.
Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me.
May my mouth become an overflow of what You are doing inside me.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

*Declaration*

My heart belongs to God.
My heart is being transformed by His Word.
I will guard what I allow into my heart.
I will not allow bitterness to take root.
I will not allow hatred to govern me.
I will speak words of life, wisdom, grace, and truth.
What comes out of me will testify of what Christ is doing within me.
A transformed heart will produce a transformed life.
Amen.

*H.T.L WEDNESDAY 26TH AUGUST MORNING DEVOTION.*
-With Reinnhardt Bonnkeh

25/08/2026

🌅 *TUESDAY MORNING DEVOTION -- 25TH AUGUST 2026.*
*Theme: Love the Lord Jesus*

*Reflection*
How do you get affectionate with something. It's not about reading and being aware of it but having that intimate relationship with it.
Even the Lord Jesus is not about reading scriptures and performing church activities.
What if God wants you to have intimate relationship with him. To love him from the heart.

📖 *Scripture*
1 Corinthians 16:22
“If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. O Lord, come!”

*Message*

Paul ends his letter with a statement that is both serious and deeply revealing...
“If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ…”
Notice he does not say, “If anyone does not know about Jesus.”
He says...
If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus.
Christianity is ultimately not just about information about Christ, it is about relationship with Christ.
You can know Scriptures about Jesus and still not love Jesus.
You can attend Christian gatherings and still have your heart far from Him.
You can serve in ministry and still lose your first love.
The question is therefore not only:
“Do I believe in Jesus?”
But also..
Do I truly love Him?

Love Is More Than Emotion
Biblical love is not merely a feeling.
Jesus said...
“If you love Me, keep My commandments.”
Love produces obedience.
When you love Jesus, His Word matters to you.
His presence matters to you.
His holiness matters to you.
His desires matter to you.
You begin to ask...
“Lord, what pleases You?”
rather than...
“How close can I get to compromise without crossing the line?”
Love changes your priorities.

What You Love, You Pursue
Your heart naturally moves toward what it loves.
If you love something deeply, you make time for it.
You protect it.
You think about it.
You pursue it.
You sacrifice for it.
Therefore, one evidence of our love for Christ is our pursuit of Him.
Do you desire His presence?
Do you desire His Word?
Do you desire fellowship with Him?
Do you desire to become more like Him?
Do you desire His Kingdom more than the applause of people?
Love makes Jesus more than a part of your life, He becomes the center of it.

Paul ends with...
“O Lord, come!”
This is the cry of a heart that longs for Jesus.
The person who loves Christ does not fear His coming.
They anticipate it.
They look forward to the day when faith becomes sight and we see the King face to face.
This should also affect how we live today.
If we genuinely expect Christ's return, we should desire to be found faithful.
Not merely busy.
Not merely religious.
But faithful.

*Reflection*
What do I love, and how do I love?
Is there something drawing me away from loving the Lord?
The heart of Christianity is not merely knowing about Jesus, it is loving Jesus.
And genuine love for Christ will produce pursuit, obedience, holiness, and longing for His presence.

*Prayer*

Lord Jesus, I want to love You more deeply.
Deliver me from a Christianity that is only outward, religious, or intellectual.
Give me a heart that genuinely desires You.
Teach me to demonstrate my love through obedience, surrender, holiness, and faithful service.
When other things compete for my affection, draw my heart back to You.
Let Your presence become my greatest desire and Your will become my greatest pursuit.
May I live every day ready for Your return, with a heart that can sincerely say..
Come, Lord Jesus.
Amen.

*Declaration*

I love the Lord Jesus Christ.
He is not merely my Saviour, He is my Lord, my treasure, and my greatest pursuit.
I will seek Him.
I will obey Him.
I will follow Him.
I will remain faithful to Him.
My heart belongs completely to Christ.
Jesus is my first love, and my heart cries Come, Lord Jesus.
Amen.

*H.T.L TUESDAY 25TH AUGUST MORNING DEVOTION.*
-With Reinnhardt Bonnkeh

24/08/2026

🌅 *MONDAY MORNING DEVOTION - 24TH AUGUST 2026*
*Theme: There Is Hope for a Tree*

*Reflection*
Have you ever lost something, someone who is very important and of help and you remained confused like not knowing what to do.
The family might remain without support, things might fall apart but the Lord says there is hope.
What seems dead, God is brooding it to manifest again.

📖 *Scripture*
Job 14:7–9
“For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its tender shoots will not cease. Though its root may grow old in the earth, and its stump may die in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and bring forth branches like a plant.”

*Message*

Job gives us a powerful picture of hope after apparent death.
A tree may be cut down.
Its branches may disappear.
Its stump may look dead.
Its roots may grow old beneath the ground.
Yet Job says....
“There is hope for a tree.”
Why?
Because what looks dead on the surface may still have life hidden underneath.
Maybe something in your life looks like it has been cut down.
A dream that didn't work.
An opportunity that closed.
A season that ended.
A relationship that broke.
A ministry that became dry.
A place where you once saw growth but now see nothing.
But don't make a permanent conclusion from a temporary appearance.
The stump is not necessarily the end.

God Can Bring Life Out of What Looks Dead
The tree doesn't need to look alive for hope to exist.
All it needs is a living root system capable of responding to water.
And Job says...
“At the scent of water it will bud.”
What an extraordinary picture!
The tree responds to the possibility of water.
It doesn't need to see a river flowing over it.
The scent is enough to awaken what remained hidden.
There are things in you that may have gone dormant, but they are not necessarily dead.
The gift may be quiet.
The dream may be buried.
The vision may seem delayed.
The passion may have weakened.
But when the water of God's Word, Spirit, and presence reaches that place again, what looked finished can begin to live.

Don't Confuse Pruning With Death
Sometimes God allows seasons where things are cut away.
The cutting can be painful.
But being cut down does not always mean being destroyed.
Sometimes God removes branches so that something healthier can grow.
Sometimes a season must end before another can begin.
Sometimes what you thought was a setback becomes the soil for your next season.
The stump may remain because God is not finished with the tree.
What looks like an ending may simply be a season of hidden preparation.

There Must Be Water
The tree's response is connected to water.
Jesus said that whoever believes in Him would have rivers of living water flowing from within.
The answer to spiritual dryness is not always a change of environment.
Sometimes you need to return to the Source.
Return to prayer.
Return to the Word.
Return to worship.
Return to God's presence.
Return to the place where your roots can drink again.
Don't spend all your energy trying to make dead branches look alive.
Go deeper to the roots.
When the roots receive water, the branches will eventually show it.

There Is Still Hope
Perhaps today you are looking at an area of your life and thinking...
“It's over.”
Job says...
“There is hope.”
The God who causes dry places to blossom can restore what has been lost.
The God who raises the dead can breathe life into forgotten dreams.
The God who makes all things new can bring forth something you thought would never happen again.
So don't bury your hope because of what you currently see.
Your season may have changed, but God's ability has not.
The tree may be cut down.
The stump may look dead.
But at the scent of water, it can bud again.

*Reflection*

What area of my life have I considered “dead” or finished?
Have I mistaken a season of pruning for the end of my story?
Have I returned to the Source, God's Word, prayer, and His presence?
What would I begin believing again if I truly believed there is still hope?

*Prayer*

Father, thank You that there is hope even when things appear dead.
Where I have lost hope, breathe life again.
Where dreams have been cut down, let new shoots emerge.
Where my spiritual life has become dry, lead me back to the living waters.
Water the roots of everything You have planted in me.
Restore my passion, renew my strength, and revive what has become dormant.
Teach me not to judge my future by my present appearance.
I believe You are still working beneath the surface.
At the scent of Your presence, let me bud again.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

*Declaration*

There is still hope for me.
What God planted in me is not finished.
I will not call dead what God is preparing to revive.
My roots are receiving living water.
My faith is rising again.
My passion is returning.
My gifts will bud again.
My purpose will flourish again.
What was cut down will sprout again.
At the scent of water, I will bud again and bring forth branches.
My story is not over. There is still hope!
Amen.

*H.T.L MONDAY 24TH AUGUST MORNING DEVOTION.*
-With Reinnhardt Bonnkeh

23/08/2026

🌅 *SUNDAY MORNING DEVOTION - 23RD AUGUST 2026.*
*Theme: Seek Me With All Your Heart*

*Reflection*
Sometimes where your heart is is where God will reveal himself.
He is not asking for part of your heart but the whole of it.
He wants the whole persuit to him not other parts are on other things...
What if you get to understand that and place yourself in whole to him with your heart.

📖 *Scripture*
Jeremiah 29:13
“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”

*Message*

God makes a remarkable promise...
“You will seek Me and find Me.”
God is not hiding from the person who genuinely desires Him.
But notice the condition...
“When you search for Me with all your heart.”
God is not looking for a divided pursuit.
He is not asking for a portion of your heart while the rest belongs to other things.
He wants wholehearted pursuit.
There is a difference between seeking God and seeking God when you need something.
Sometimes we seek God because we need an answer.
We seek Him because we need provision.
We seek Him because we need a door opened.
But deeper spiritual maturity says:
“Even when I have no request, I still want You.”
That is the heart God desires.

Half-Hearted Seeking Produces Shallow Fellowship
You cannot deeply know someone while giving them only occasional attention.
The same is true in our walk with God.
If prayer is occasional, the relationship becomes weak.
If the Word is occasional, spiritual understanding becomes shallow.
If worship is only based on emotion, our devotion becomes unstable.
God is calling us beyond occasional encounters into consistent pursuit.
Seek Him with all your heart.
Not only on Sunday.
Not only when trouble comes.
Not only when you need a miracle.
Seek Him in the ordinary moments.
Seek Him when you're happy.
Seek Him when you're waiting.
Seek Him when you don't understand.
Seek Him when you have received the answer.

“You Will Find Me”
This is the beautiful promise.
God says....
“You will find Me.”
He is assuring the seeker that sincere pursuit of Him is never wasted.
You may not always find an immediate answer.
You may not always feel His presence.
You may not immediately understand what He is doing.
But continued pursuit of God is never empty.
Sometimes finding God means receiving an answer.
Sometimes it means receiving peace.
Sometimes it means receiving direction.
Sometimes it means discovering something about His character.
And sometimes the greatest thing you find is simply God Himself.

God Wants Your Heart, Not Just Your Attention
God is not merely interested in your religious activity.
He wants your heart.
You can attend services and still have a distracted heart.
You can know Scripture and still have divided affection.
You can pray many words and still not truly desire God.
But when your heart becomes fully His, your pursuit changes.
You stop asking:
“How little can I give God?”
And begin asking:
“How deeply can I know Him?”

*Reflection*
What is drawing my heart these days..
Is my heart yearning deep for himself and not things.
What I'm I thinking of lately within my heart?
God reveals Himself to the wholehearted seeker.
The pursuit of God is not wasted. When you seek Him sincerely, you will find Him.

*Prayer*

Father, draw my heart completely toward You.
Deliver me from divided affection and half-hearted devotion.
Teach me to seek You not merely for what You can give me, but because You are worthy of being sought.
Give me a deeper hunger for Your presence, Your Word, and Your heart.
When I don't understand, help me keep seeking.
When I don't feel You, help me keep pursuing.
When You bless me, help me not to forget You.
May my greatest pursuit in this life be to know You.
I seek You with all my heart.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

*Declaration*

I will seek the Lord with all my heart.
I will not give God a divided heart.
I will pursue Him in every season.
I will seek Him in prayer.
I will seek Him in His Word.
I will seek Him in worship.
I will seek Him when I understand and when I don't.
I know that my pursuit of God will never be in vain.
I seek Him, I find Him, and I grow deeper in Him.
Amen.

*H.T.L SUNDAY 23RD AUGUST MORNING DEVOTION.*
-With Reinnhardt Bonnkeh

22/08/2026

🌅 *SATURDAY MORNING DEVOTION - 22ND AUGUST 2026.*
*Theme: Draw Me After You*

*Reflection*
Have you ever felt a love that is drawned to you. It's not about you going there but you are taken. There is a point where God can make you hungry for his heart. This is the greatest attraction that can ever happen.
What if God is drawing you in him and you need to discern it.

📖 *Scripture*
Song of Songs 1:4
“Draw me, we will run after you; the king has brought me into his chambers; we will be glad and rejoice in you; we will remember your love more than wine.”

*Message*

There is a difference between knowing about God and being drawn to God.
The bride cries,
“Draw me…”
This is the cry of a heart that has discovered that nothing compares to the presence of the King.
She doesn't say, “Give me more things.”
She says, “Draw me closer to You.”
This is the heart of true spiritual hunger.
There comes a point where you stop seeking God's hand and begin seeking His heart.

“Draw Me” , A Prayer for Attraction to God
The greatest work God can do in us is to make our hearts desire Him.
Because when God draws you, you don't have to be forced to pursue Him.
You begin to run after Him.
Prayer becomes a desire.
The Word becomes a desire.
Worship becomes a desire.
His presence becomes your greatest pursuit.
The cry becomes:
“Lord, don't just bless me, draw me.”

“We Will Run After You”
Notice the progression:
Draw me, We will run after You.
Divine attraction produces human pursuit.
When God touches your heart, your response should be movement.
Don't merely experience God's presence and remain unchanged.
Run after Him.
Run after His Word.
Run after holiness.
Run after righteousness.
Run after His presence.
Run after His purpose.
The Christian life is not merely about being touched by God; it is about continually pursuing Him.
“The King Has Brought Me Into His Chambers”
The chambers speak of intimacy.
There is a place beyond the crowd.
Beyond the noise.
Beyond public ministry.
Beyond what everyone sees.
It is the secret place where you know God personally.
God doesn't only want you in His courts.
He wants intimacy with you.
There is a deeper dimension of knowing Him that comes when you seek Him privately.
Your public life will never be stronger than your private pursuit of God.
“We Will Remember Your Love”
The bride says God's love is more precious than wine.
Why?
Because everything earthly eventually loses its power to satisfy.
But the love of God remains.
When you remember His love, you gain strength in difficult seasons.
When you remember His faithfulness, you can keep trusting.
When you remember what He has brought you through, you can worship even before you see the next breakthrough.
Never forget His love.

*Reflection*
What has been drawing me closer?
What I'm I thinking about in my mind.
Is there something that is blocking me from being drawn by the Lord?
The deepest prayer is not “Lord, give me something,” but “Lord, draw me closer to Yourself.”
When God becomes your greatest pursuit, everything else finds its proper place.

*Prayer*

Father, draw me closer to You.
Give me a deeper hunger for Your presence, Your Word, and Your heart.
Remove every distraction that competes for my affection.
Teach me to pursue You beyond what You can give me.
Take me deeper into intimacy with You.
Let my private life with You become stronger than my public expression.
May I run after You with an undivided heart and never lose the wonder of Your love.
Let my heart continually cry:
“Draw me, Lord, and I will run after You.”
In Jesus' name, Amen.

*Declaration*

My heart belongs to God.
I hunger for His presence.
I thirst for His Word.
I will run after Him.
I will pursue intimacy, not merely information.
I will seek His face above His hand.
His love is my greatest treasure.
The more He draws me, the more I will pursue Him.
Draw me, Lord, and I will run after You!
Amen.

*H.T.L SATURDAY 22ND AUGUST MORNING DEVOTION.*
-With Reinnhardt Bonnkeh

21/08/2026

🌅 *FRIDAY MORNING DEVOTION - 21ST AUGUST 2026.*
*Theme: Know Who You Are*

*Reflection*
Do you know yourself? Have you ever been in a situation where you're questioned about who you are and where are you coming from.
What if God wants you to know who you are and for the purpose of you.

📖 *Scripture*
John 1:20–21
“He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, ‘I am not the Christ.’ And they asked him, ‘What then? Are you Elijah?’ He said, ‘I am not.’ ‘Are you the Prophet?’ And he answered, ‘No.’”

*Message*

John the Baptist was asked a series of questions about his identity, and his answers reveal something powerful:
He knew who he was, and who he was not.
John could have taken the glory.
People were looking for the Christ, and John had a great following. He was influential, powerful in his preaching, and clearly carrying a divine assignment.
Yet when they asked, “Are you the Christ?”
He answered, “I am not.”
That is humility.
John understood that being anointed does not make you the Anointed One.
He knew his assignment without stealing Christ's place.

Knowing Who You Are Requires Knowing Who You Are Not
Many people struggle because they are trying to become something God never called them to be.
John did not try to become Elijah.
He did not try to become the Prophet.
He did not try to become Christ.
He simply embraced what God had called him to be.
There is freedom in knowing your assignment.
You don't have to compete with another person's calling.
You don't have to imitate another person's grace.
You don't have to become someone else to be valuable.
Your identity is secure when you know the One you belong to.

John Knew His Purpose
Later, John would declare, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Make straight the way of the Lord.’”
John knew that he was a voice, not the Word.
He was a messenger, not the Messiah.
He was sent to point people to Jesus, not to himself.
That is the heart of true ministry:
The greater your influence becomes, the more clearly people should see Jesus—not you.
Your gifts are not given so people can worship your gift.
Your influence is not given so people can glorify your name.
Your calling is ultimately a signpost pointing people toward Christ.

*Reflection*
Do I really know who I am...?
Do I know the purpose i was created and placed on the land where I am?
What should I do to get to understand my purpose.
You don't need to be someone else to fulfill God's purpose.
Know who you are, know who you are not, and know whose you are.

*Prayer*

Father, help me understand my identity and my assignment. Deliver me from comparison, competition, pride, and the desire to become someone You have not called me to be.
Give me the humility of John the Baptist—to know who I am and who I am not.
Let my gifts, influence, and calling always point people to Jesus.
May I never take the place that belongs to Christ.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

*Declaration*

I know who I am in Christ.
I know my assignment.
I will not compete with another person's calling.
I will not imitate what God has not given me.
I will walk in my own measure of grace.
My life will point people to Jesus.
I am a vessel, not the source.
I am a voice, not the Word.
I am a messenger, not the Messiah.
Christ must increase, and I must decrease.
Amen.

*H.T.L FRIDAY 21ST AUGUST MORNING DEVOTION.*
-With Reinnhardt Bonnkeh

20/08/2026

🌅 *THURSDAY MORNING DEVOTION - 20TH AUGUST 2026.*
*Theme: Go, Stand, and Speak*

*Reflection*
Have you ever felt a burning inside with something that you are to speak but you don't have an opportunity to speak it out.
Sometimes it happens and we miss the instructions by continuing to prayer and sitting in one position not to speak them because of fear and humiliation.
What if God wants you to be bold enough and stand out to speak it.

📖 *Scripture*
Acts 5:20
“Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life.”

*Message*

The apostles had been imprisoned for preaching Christ, but God sent an angel to open the prison doors. Their deliverance was not merely for their comfort, it was for their assignment.
The angel gave them three instructions..

*Go*
There is a time to pray, and there is a time to move. God may have already opened the door, and now He is saying, “Go.” Go into your assignment, your calling, and the opportunities He has prepared for you.

*Stand*
The apostles were told to stand in the very place where they had faced opposition. This teaches us not to allow fear, rejection, or criticism to silence us. If God has called you, stand in faith, stand in truth, and stand in your purpose.

*Speak*
They were commanded to speak “all the words of this life.” The Gospel is life, hope, and salvation. God has entrusted each believer with a testimony, a message, or a gift that can bless others. Do not keep silent what God has placed within you.
The prison could not stop the message, and opposition cannot stop what God has ordained. Therefore, obey His voice, remain steadfast, and boldly share the life of Christ with your generation.

*Reflection*
What do I intend to speak in my area of influence?.
I'm I bold enough to stand out with courage and speak of the things that are inside my spirit?
In what areas I'm I supposed to deal with so that I can be able to get out and speak?
God delivers us not only to experience freedom, but also to fulfill His purpose and speak words that bring life to others.

*Prayer*

Father, give me grace to go where You send me, strength to stand in times of opposition, and boldness to speak the words of life You have entrusted to me. Remove fear and fill me with courage to fulfill Your purpose. Let my life be a vessel through which many encounter Christ. In Jesus' name, Amen.

*Declaration*

I will go where God sends me.
I will stand in faith and truth.
I will speak the words of life.
Fear will not silence me.
My life will reveal Christ to my generation.
Amen.
