TOPIC:Share Your Faith & Acknowledge Every Good In You.

TEXT: Philemon 1:6,ESV" And I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ."

Philemon's love and belief in Christ has made him to be remembered by the great apostle Paul his spiritual father and mentor in Christ. As he encourages him in this amazing letter written in the spirit of love and concern for his protege Philemon.
Beloved,the most significant expression that apostle Paul meant here is,'...the sharing of the faith he had in Christ Jesus should be effective all the time to others by acknowledging the good things in him'.
There are good things that for the sake of Christ is at work in us who believe. Those good things are to be shared with others. The likes of those good things in you are: Love, peace,joy,favor,mercy,faith, eternal life, salvation all of these things are to be shared with others. Not just for you,but the sake of the Kingdom of God.Hallelujah!
As becoming believers,we are meant to come to full knowledge of those good things embedded in us. Glory to God!
The believer in Christ must realize that the inner working of the Spirit of God has deposited a whole lot of good things within your born again spirit. And when you grow in grace and in the knowledge of salvation or Jesus Christ,you will become an agent of God's Kingdom in your world to others.
It is worthy of note to hear brother Paul's testimony about brother Philemon a fellow servant of Christ. Listen:" For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love my brother, because the heart of the saints have been refreshed through you", Philemon 1:7,ESV.
The testimony was that brother Philemon's life and service in Christ has been a blessing to others, and these brought much joy and comfort to those around him even the apostle Paul. Hallelujah!
Today as you come to full knowledge,active and accurate knowledge of the things Christ has deposited in you...as you share them with others,it will produce results and bring comfort and joy to the Kingdom of God. And everyone will be better for it. Praise the Lord!
Therefore,your generosity and kindness should be able to bring joy and comfort to many and the house of God and the Kingdom of God will make advancement in this world. Amen.

" While you also corporate by your prayers for us[ helping and labouring together with us]. Thus [the lips of many persons[ turned toward God will eventually ] give thanks on our behalf for the grace( blessing of deliverance )granted us at the request of many who had prayed".

When you pray for the ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, whether publicly or privately, it attracta s tremendous wave of spiritual blessing.

The minister might not even know you or even see you praying for him or her; his God surely knows and sees you. The body of Christ should see this as an opportunity for spiritual upliftment and grace in the furtherance of the Gospel of Christ. Glory to God!
In this instance, the apostle Paul makes a public request for public prayers for ministers with him inclusive. He says,"...thus the lips of many persons turned toward God eventually give thanks on our behalf for the grace which is the blessing of deliverance at the request of many who prayed", those who prayed are also partakers of the blessing of deliverance as they give thanks to God for the ministers...as these enjoy the same grace.

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHTS OF THE DAY.
Sunday 11th January 2026.

TOPIC: The Benefits Of The Grace For Service.

TEXT: Acts 10:38, NLT " How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power. He went about doing good and healing all who are oppressed by the devil,for God is with him".

The Lord Jesus Christ did Kingdom service by the grace and power of the Holy Spirit. Every act of Ministry he engaged in was by the manifestation of the grace conveyed by the Holy Spirit.
This anointing of the Holy Spirit upon Jesus empowered Him with an ability of God's Spirit to go about doing good and bringing healing and deliverance to those oppressed of the devil. And obviously the LORD Almighty via His presence worked alongside the Lord Jesus Christ.
The anointing of the Holy Spirit is a divine presence Jesus Christ walks with to fulfill His Kingdom assignment.
No one can successfully do service without the help of the Holy Spirit. If Jesus Christ couldn't move to do service without the Holy Spirit,no one in the Kingdom of God can do service without the Holy Spirit. That's why it is important to take advantage of the Ministry of the Holy Spirit in your life to be able to accomplish much, glory to God Almighty.
The benefits of the grace of God for service in the life of the believer in Christ cannot be overemphasized. We all need the Holy Spirit in our lives for ministry fulfillment and spiritual alignment as a benefit He brings to the believer in Christ.
The Psalmist says,"...you anoint my head with oil,my cup overflows", Psalms 23:5b.
The anointing of the Holy Spirit in your life can literally attract the blessing of the overflow upon you in all areas.
Today I believe in God's grace, glory and power working on you for Kingdom efficiency and service. Hallelujah! Amen.

LESSONS TO NOTE:
* God's presence can catapult you for effective Kingdom service.
* The ability of the Spirit of God upon your life is to empower you for Healing and deliverance.

FURTHER STUDY: Psalms 89:20-28; Psalms 92:10.

PRAYER DECLARATION:

Dear Heavenly Father,thank You for Your goodness,I receive the grace of the gift of God to walk in the anointing of the Holy Spirit for effective Kingdom service in Jesus' Glorious Name. Amen.

SALVATION PRAYER:

I believe that Jesus died for me,I believe that God raised Him from the dead for me,I confess Him with my mouth as Lord of my life and eternal life is imparted into my spirit. I'm born again in Jesus' Matchless Name. Amen.

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHTS OF THE DAY.
Monday 5th December 2025.

TOPIC: Rest In The Love Of God Lavished On You.

TEXT: 1 John 3:1, NIV" See what great love the Father has Lavished on us,that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know is that it does not know him".

The incredible quality of love the Father has shown us that we should be permitted or called children of God is so amazing.
The writer wondered the glory we were to enjoy and experience at the appearance of the Glorified Christ. How we are going to be or who we are going to be like? He reasoned nature or kind of being we will become after Jesus Christ returns back to the earth.
Hence the world did not know Him nor know us because we are called children of God. The world could not understand the depth of God in Christ for even calling us the children of God; it is the quality of this kind of love that the Father meted on us in an ever increasing Glory.
The truth is when Jesus Christ will come as He is being revealed we will see Him as He is and we will be like Him exactly. So, the world would wonder what Glory and beauty in Christ Jesus?
The apostle continues," And everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself just as God Almighty is holy,you are Holy too beloved.
This love is unconditional,this love is Sacrificial,is limitless or unlimited love of God and boundless in its true nature and quality. Hallelujah! We will all resemble Him in the manifestation of Christ Jesus again, glory to God for evermore!
The Bible tells us that:" The Lord appeared from old to me [ Israel], saying, Yes I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving kindness have I drawn you and continued my faithfulness to you", Jeremiah 31:3,AMPC.
Beloved,know in you that this love is an everlasting love, nothing can change the Father's mind about His position concerning you in the love He has for you, praise God forever! Amen.
God Almighty loved you so dearly that He has revealed Himself to you in Christ Jesus without reservations and any doubt for what He meant to do in you. Glory to God!
Today it is your right to bask in the love of God displayed for us in the face of Jesus Christ. Walking in this amazing reality will cause your life to glow with The Glory of God. Amen.

LESSONS TO NOTE:
* God's unlimited love is bestowed on your life for His ultimate purpose and pursuit of God's Kingdom and Glory.
* As we would see Him we will look exactly like Him[ Jesus Christ].

FURTHER STUDY: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13; John 3:16.

PRAYER DECLARATION:

Dear Loving Father,thank You for this boundless love You have Lavished on me as your son, and at Your appearance I will resemble as I see You in Glory in Jesus' Glorious Name. Amen.

SALVATION PRAYER:

I believe that Jesus died for me,I believe that God raised Him from the dead for me,I confess Him with my mouth as Lord of my life and eternal life is imparted into my spirit. I'm born again in Jesus' Matchless Name. Amen.

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHTS OF THE DAY.
Sunday 30th November 2025.

TOPIC: Keep Your spirit Revive In Prayers.

TEXT: Acts 6:4,NLT" But we continue to devote ourselves steadfastly to prayer and the ministry of the word".

These moments in the life of the believers in Christ Jesus,where their numbers increased greatly, the Hellenist( the Greek speaking Jews),that are on one side and the others are Jewish( Hebrews) speaking. There was trouble in the daily distributions of Relief materials because of numbers among them. At this point in time,the believer's rapport multiplied rapidly with the rumblings of discontent.
The apostles convened the multiple of disciples that it not desirable or right that we leave the preaching of the word of God in order to serve tables for the distribution of food.
Therefore select out among yourself honest seven men full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom to look over this daily business of food distributions.
The apostles decided to devote themselves to the ministry of prayer and the ministry of preaching of the word of God.
These spiritual cultures of relevance in the Spirit gave them the right footage to have an anchor in Christ.
PRAYER is the communication of the right intent to God with purpose conveyed with clarity to the Father in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah! Glory!
Prayer is service or worship and the preaching of the word of God is equally service to God to strengthen fellowship in the Spirit as you relate with the Father in the name of Jesus Christ.
In these last days,we are to steadfastly give ourselves as believers in Christ to pray first not alone that but also to the service of the preaching and studying the word of God.
These will cause multiplication with special increase as the message of Christ spreads before Jesus Christ returns to the earth for the glorious rapture of the Church of Jesus Christ.
Today I pray for you to receive grace to pray and to study and preach the word of God with passion in Jesus mighty name.
May prayers and the word of God be your spiritual culture be full of faith and power to do exploits for God. Hallelujah,Amen.

LESSONS TO NOTE:
* The service of prayer and the service of the word of God will propel you to see an increase in everything you do.
* Walk in the Holy Spirit and in the wisdom of God for balance in the kingdom of God today!

FURTHER STUDY: Acts 1:14; Luke 18:1.

PRAYER DECLARATION:

Dear Loving Father thank You for Your goodness and enduring faithfulness in my life and destiny,I commit myself to the ministry of prayer and the ministry of the word of God for exploits in the Kingdom in Jesus Matchless Name. Amen.

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHTS OF THE DAY.
Thursday 9th October 2025.

TOPIC: The Fullness Of Grace To Glory.

TEXT: John1:16,ESV" For from his fullness we have all received grace upon grace".

John the beloved revealed the exact manifestion of the grace of Christ melted on the believer who work with the genuine anointing of Christ from grace to glory in Christ.
He narrated in his discuss how that in the beginning 'the 'Word' was with God and the word was God. And He was in the beginning with God.All things were made by Him,without Him was not anything made that was made. This suggests that everything ever created came into being by the Grace and Holiness of Christ.
In the word of God[ Jesus Christ] was life,and the life was the light of men. It means that this eternal life [ Zoe] was what lightened men when they received Him.
The Grace of Christ is the divine power and wisdom in God that made everything new came into existence. It is an anointing drawn from the very Holiness of God to do anything possible in this earth realm from the spiritual realm.
The Bible tells us that: " From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another," John 1:16,NLT. The genuine anointing of Christ which is in abundance,is what we have all received one gracious blessing after another. It could be any divine grace from the true essence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Why is this important? We have a lot of fakes these days,and the sons of God need to be careful what they carry into their lives and this I speak as an apostle of Christ drinking from the true fountain of life and source. Hallelujah!
We live an apostolic life and we are meant to carry the genuine anointing of Christ if we must impact our world for Jesus Christ.
The Spirit of Christ is the Spirit of Holiness, that's what brought Him up from the dead.
Brother Paul revealed this when he spoke to the Roman Church narrating the origin of Jesus from the flesh as descendant of David. This is what he says," Concerning his Son, who descended from David according to the flesh. And was declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of Holiness by His resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord. Through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of the faith for the sake of his name among the nations ",( Romans 1:3-5, ESV).
Today, we have " Lambano" in the Greek, or received His Grace and apostleship to tell people everywhere in the nations of the world how they can be obedient to the faith and believe in Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord!
This genuine anointing of Christ is upon us without measure and in full supply because He has sent us,and this is apostolic. Glory to God!
In John chapter three verse thirty four, apostle John says these words:" For he whom God has sent utters the word of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure". John 3:34.
Brethren,this is purely an apostolic move of God,we have received His Grace and apostleship to speak His word to everyone everywhere everyday without measure of the Spirit. And we grow in Grace from glory to glory.
As Christ apostles, His anointing works in us without limit. You are to work in the fullness of the power of God without measure! Glory to God, hallelujah! Amen.

LESSONS TO NOTE:

* The genuine anointing [ Grace] of Christ works in the believer to manifest the fullness of God wherever he goes in this world.
* This anointing[ Grace or abundant blessing] of Christ is without measure in you.

FURTHER STUDY: John 1:1-16; 1 John 1:1-4.

PRAYER DECLARATION:

My Loving Father, thank You for Your Son Jesus Christ,I receive and I'm walking in the fullness of the anointing of Christ,to tell people everywhere for the sake of His name among the nations to believe Him and accept His life today in Jesus' Matchless Name. Amen.

SALVATION PRAYER:

I believe that Jesus died for me, I believe that God raised Him from the dead for me, I confess Him with my mouth as Lord of my life and eternal life is imparted into my spirit. I am born again in Jesus' Glorious Name. Amen.

Saturday 4th October 2025.

TOPIC:The Gospel Gives Equality To Peoples.

TEXT: Ephesians 3:6, Amp
" it is this that the Gentiles are now to be fellow heirs [with the Jews], members of the same body, joint partakers [ sharing] in the same divine promise in Christ through their acceptance of the glad tidings[ the Gospel]".

Beloved, we are in a great manifestation of the verities of Heaven on the earth.
The believer in Christ is God's treasured possession on this planet, enjoying the full package of the divine blessing given to him by his interaction with the Gospel of Jesus Christ in fellowship with The Son and The Father.
Our theme verse reveals that we as Gentile believers in Christ are fellow heirs with the Jews beyond that, we have become members of the same body and joint partakers sharing in the same divine promise in Christ, through our acceptance of the Gospel.
The vehicle through which Christ would reign and empower our lives is the glad tidings which is the Gospel of Christ.
It's a divine opportunity to participate in this great feast as we await the return of the Master. Our acceptance of the Gospel is to our advantage as we partake in sharing the goodies of the Kingdom of God. Hallelujah!
Now, in Christ, you have become a participator of all that the Father has, and you have the singular right to a beneficiary status in the Kingdom of light. Praise God!
Today, walk in this sense and light as you see the day approaching, the day of Christ, the day of His coming. He tells us:" ...all things are yours,( 1 corinthians 3:22).
Engage and enjoy the divine promise sustained in Christ, for your benefit in God. Amen.

LESSONS TO NOTE:
* The Gospel offers the believer an opportunity to be a participator in the divine promise of Christ.
* You are fellow heirs of the same body with the Jews sharing equality in Christ.

TOPIC: The World Is Not Your Permanent Home.

TEXT: 1 Peter 2:11,NLT" Dear friends,I warn you as " temporary residents and foreigners" to keep away from worldly desires that wage wars against your very souls".

This was apostle Peter's counsel to his brethren as they live on earth with their unbelieving neighbors.
Not to be carried away by the negative desires of this world. That these things have the potential to sway their very souls.
He continued:" when they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior and they will give honor to God when he judges the world ", 1 Peter 2:12.
The concept of this truth is to live your life with the view of eternity at mind always.
Some people don't care how they are being viewed here,they probably don't know that the world will come to an end someday.
Remember, Jesus talked about the desolation of nations, and these things are happening right in our very eyes( Matthew 24:1-31).
Nations are in war against each other,these things have to happen as a sign. But we are to live with the consciousness of God in our spirits not to be carried away by the worldly passion to forget God in the process in this physical life.
The Bible says," Sins will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold", Matthew 24:12, NLT. You are wondering how these things could happen, the fact remains that the love of people towards God will be affected.
There will be drawbacks towards the things of God,they won't even know that their love for God is growing cold. Let's watch what is happening and reconsider our stands in Christ. Praise God!
Today is the day of Salvation as you watch and pray and always remember that we are in perilous times. Ask for the help of the Holy Spirit as you see the day of the Lord approaching. Amen.

LESSONS TO NOTE:
* Stay alert to your life and pay attention to live beyond worldly desires.
* Live each day for God in Christ.

FURTHER STUDY:

TOPIC: Offer Honour And Glory And Thanksgiving To God.

TEXT: Revelation 4: 9,NLT" And whenever the living creatures offer glory and honor and thanksgiving to Him who sits on the throne,who lives forever ( through the eternities of eternity)".

The apostle John describes the posture that the four living creatures and the twenty four elders of the heavenly council take while giving Almighty God glory, honor and thanksgiving.
As they worship the Father in Christ Jesus as the King of Heaven. What they do is that they put down their achievements all through the dispensations of times given to them as crowns,all these rewards are counted as nothing before the presence of Yeshua who is the King of Kings and Lord of lords. As they declare how worthy the King of Heaven is in His Glory and majesty.
The Bible tells us that:" God reigns over the nations,God sits upon his holy throne. The princess and nobles of the people are gathered together, a united people for the God of Abraham,for the shields of the earth belongs to God; He is highly exalted", Psalms 47:8-9NLT.
We are a united people for the God of Abraham. We have been called to offer glory, honor and thanksgiving to Him who sits on the throne. Whatever is your crowns, achievements, rewards and accolades give it up to Jesus Christ,He is the King of Glory,who is and was and who is to come, hallelujah!
Today being the last Sunday in this glorious month of September,we are to remember how great He is to us and our families, preserving the heritage of Jacob, a united people for the God of Abraham, Glory to God!
Remember His righteousness,His Mercies and faithfulness in your life,drop every entitlement and prostrate before His majesty and worship,honor and give Him the highest thanks and praise that you can. Amen.

LESSONS TO NOTE:
* Offer Glory, Honor and Thanksgiving To Your King who sits upon the throne.
* Release your crowns, achievements and possessions to Him in worship,He gave you everything in the first place.

FURTHER STUDY: Psalms 95:6-7; Psalms 136:1-26.

TOPIC: Declare Thanksgiving Always!

TEXT: Jeremiah 30:19,KJV" And out of them shall proceed the thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: I will multiply them,they shall not be few; I will glorify them they shall not be small."

Prophet Jeremiah declared in prophecy the release of songs of thanksgiving out the mouth of Judah,the children of Israel.
This was a celebration of God's faithfulness in their lives. The voice of celebration will be heralded from their mouth,and these will usher in multiplication with exponential increase.
In this piece of prophecy, thanksgiving and excited merriment was seen as an " Antidote" for explosion of growth and overflow. And God honored them and they shall not see smallness in their lives.
And then,their children shall be blessed,their congregation will be established by God. These were some of the benefits that the children of Israel experienced when their mouths were filled with thanksgiving and celebration of joy.
The Lord promised to punish all those who oppressed them. God said to them that their princes shall come forth from among them; and their ruler from their midst. And you shall be my people,and l will be your God.
It is important to note that thanksgiving is an obligation for the child of God and it is good to engage in thanksgiving.
The word of God tells us that:" It is good to give thanks to the LORD,to sing praises to your name, O Most High ",( Psalms 92:1).
"To declare your steadfast Love in the morning and your faithfulness by night...to celebrate in music,for You O LORD have made me glad by Your works; at the works of Your hands I sing for joy...",( Psalms 92: 2-4,ESV).
God expects us to return and give thanks to Him. Jesus Christ said," Go and show yourselves to the priests,as they went they were cleaned.Then one of them,when he saw that he was healed turned back praising God with a loud voice; and he fell in his face, Jesus' feet giving Him thanks, were not ten that were cleaned, where are the nine?...", Luke 17:11-17). This Antidote works then and it is working today.
As we celebrate and worship God with songs of thanksgiving that honour His Name our lives will be blessed by our Father tremendously. Hallelujah!
Today,let this attitude of gratitude be your lifestyle. Amen.

LESSONS TO NOTE:
* Let thanksgiving proceed from your being as you celebrate and worship The King Jesus Christ .
* Come and show yourself to the priests,giving Glory to The Father!

FURTHER STUDY: Psalms 106:1-5; Psalms 136:1-10.

PRAYER DECLARATION:

Dear Loving Father, thank You for Your mercies and grace,my mouth is filled with thanksgiving and celebration of joy for all You have done and who You are as I worship You in Spirit and truth in Jesus' Matchless Name. Amen.

SALVATION PRAYER:

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHTS OF THE DAY.
Friday 26th September 2025

TOPIC: Receiving The Grace Of Christian Fellowship

TEXT: Galatians 2:6, TPT
" When they all recognized the grace flowing in my ministry, James, Peter, and John, the esteemed followers of Jesus, extended to me the warmth of Christian fellowship and honored my calling to minister to non-Jewish people".

Christianity is for the grown-ups, who had exercised their belief system in godliness through ethical living, and great values with one another in the faith. Apostle Paul shared his experience in the gospel on how he was accepted by Christian leaders of his time, those who had been apostles before him.
He narrated that before he could be received amongst the rest of them; a concept he called" The warmth of Christian fellowship" was extended to him, after which his ministry to non-Jewish people was received as Peter was to the Jewish people.
This concept is of great value if we all would enjoy the best of God's investment in those whom God has called. How is this important? Knowing today that our service to the body of Christ is key to the upliftment of the Kingdom of God.
Though ,Some don't believe that other people or ministers can be a blessing to them, I believe that every joint should supply what they have been given from the Lord for the body to benefit,( Ephesians 4:16).
Now, for this to be effective, we have to embrace the grace in our individuality and quality which we have received from the Lord Jesus, as the foundation of our Christian faith.
In this, we are to warmly receive the ministry or service others bring for the benefit of the body of Christ in unionism with Christ.
I believe that Jesus would love this to happen among brethren. Hallelujah!
Today, let your brother, sister, family, friend, and community experience the grace of your Christian fellowship coming forth from your spiritual personality in Christ by the Holy Spirit. Praise God!
Enjoy His grace, as we await the return of the Master.
Receive the ministry of others,as the grace is manifested through them. Hallelujah!Amen.

LESSONS TO NOTE:
* Embrace the service others have to offer especially when they do it from a genuine spirit.
* Be open to the grace of Christian fellowship.

FURTHER STUDY: Galatians 2:1-21; Colossians 2:6.

PRAYER DECLARATION:

Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for the grace you have deposited in me for the benefit of all, I'm walking in the spirit of warmness in fellowship toward the brethren with no partiality in God with persons in Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.

SALVATION PRAYER:

I believe that Jesus died for me, I believe that God raised Him from the dead for me, I confess Him as Lord of my life, and eternal life is imparted into my spirit, I am born again in Jesus' glorious Name. Amen.
