*RBT Passage: 1 Chronicles 5-6*

*GOD IS SOVEREIGN OVER THE NATIONS*
🥒🥒🥒
*Memory Verse:* "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance." Psalm 33:12, NIV
🍐🍐🍐
*Text:* Psalm 33:10-22
📌📌📌
Psalms 33:10-22 NIV
[10] The Lord foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.

[11] But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.

[12] Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.

[13] From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind;

[14] from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth—

[15] he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.

[16] No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.

[17] A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.

[18] But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,

[19] to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.

[20] We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.

[21] In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.

[22] May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you.
🍉🍉🍉
________________________________
The president of a particular country wanted to replace God in the hearts of his people. During the famine, he locked up some people and asked them to pray to their God for supplies. When nothing happened, he asked the people to pray in his name, and then flood the hall with food. He was later deposed in a coup d'etat and killed mercilessly. The people of the nation are still praying to God till today.
🍑🍑🍑
Today's text reveals that God is sovereign over all nations and that true blessing comes to nations that acknowledge Him as their God. Human strength and military power cannot save; only God can deliver. He watches over those who fear Him and places His care on those who hope in His love. The Bible also establishes the fact that God owns the world by creation and sustenance. Some powerful people had reigned or ruled with different titles like Emperors, Kings, and Presidents. They are no more, but God still retains His sovereignty.
🍎🍎🍎
Whatever may be the current situation of our nation, we must believe that it is not beyond the power of God. God is still in control of the affairs of the world, no matter the confusion, conflicts, and wars that may be going on. Worship this God now and commit your nation and the entire world into His hands in prayer.
🍓🍓🍓
________________________________
Insight: God is the Ruler and Controller of the affairs of the world.

Prayer: I bow in worship and stand in awe of You, my God.

RBT Passage: 1 Chronicles 3-4
🚛🚛🚛
PRAY FOR THOSE IN AUTHORITY
🚚🚚🚚
Memory Verse: "I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness" 1 Timothy 2:1-2 NIV
🚙🚙🚙
Text: 1 Timothy 2:1-8
🚐🚐🚐
1 Timothy 2:1-8 NIV
[1] I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people—

[2] for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

[3] This is good, and pleases God our Savior,

[4] who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

[5] For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,

[6] who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.

[7] And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.

[8] Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.

Οn a phone-in radio programme during the August 2024 national protest in Nigeria, a man called and cursed the leaders. A pastor who spoke after him called the attention of the previous caller to his wrong deed and used the opportunity to educate others not to curse those in authority but to pray for them.
🚒🚒🚒
The text today encourages us to pray and intercede for all, especially those in positions of authority. The reason is clear, leadership influences whether believers can live a peaceful and godly life. Paul connects this prayerful attitude to God's broader desire for all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. This shows that praying for our leaders is part of Christian maturity and evangelistic effectiveness. What pleases God should not displease His children.
🚎🚎🚎
Bad governance is a common experience, especially in Africa. This has brought untold hardship on the masses who are expected to enjoy the dividends of good governance. However, we must always remember that praying for our leaders is praying for ourselves because we will experience peace and prosperity when they govern rightly. Do not join those cursing the nation or those in authority. You should rather correct this bad attitude. You can even form a prayer team to be praying for your country and those in authority. This is good and pleasing to God.
🚌🚌🚌
Insight: Praying for leaders is part of a believer's responsibility.

Prayer: Lord, grant me the grace to constantly pray for my leaders.

*Memory verse:* ​"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."
— 1 Peter 2:9, NIV
🌼🌼🌼
*Text:: 1 Peter 2:4-12*
🌻🌻🌻
[4] As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him—
🥀
[5] you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
🥀
[6] For in Scripture it says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”
🥀
[7] Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,”
🥀
[8] and, “A stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall.” They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.
🥀
[9] But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
🥀
[10] Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
🥀
[11] Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.
🥀
[12] Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.
🥀🥀🥀
​Mr John chose peace over retaliation when miscreants destroyed his property.
🪻🪻🪻
Despite his power and influence, as one of God's own, he remained calm and used the moment to share Christ.
🌸🌸🌸
His godly response touched many hearts, and also led to numerous conversions.
🌼🌼🌼
His actions reflected the true character of God's people which is peacefulness, and forgiveness.
🪷🪷🪷
​Peter, in today's passage, reveals the identity of believers as God's own people.
🌼🌼🌼
Though once rejected, we are now chosen and precious just like the cornerstone.
🌸🌸🌸
We are a holy nation, a chosen people, and a royal priesthood set aside to give God praise.
🥀🥀🥀
Our new identity comes with the responsibility to live a holy life.
🪸🪸🪸
Holiness is an uncompromising nature of God. It is a demand from God for His people: just as he who called you is holy, be holy in all you do.
🥀🥀🥀
God's own people must behave in a way to make the people around them praise their God.
🪸🪸🪸
​We must show forth our royal priesthood position in holiness and godliness.
🪻🪻🪻
We are called to be God's people. Let us show the world the true character of God by our lifestyle.

The world will remain in darkness until the people of God switch on the light in them.

Let your life make people around you praise your God.

*SEEK THE WELFARE OF THE CITY*
🚚🚚🚚
*Memory verse:* "Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper." — Jeremiah 29:7 NIV
🚕🚕🚕
*Text: Jeremiah 29:3-7*
🚌🚌🚌
[3] He entrusted the letter to Elasah son of Shaphan and to Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to King Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon. It said:

[4] This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon:

[5] “Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce.

[6] Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease.

[7] Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”

🚙🚙🚙
Some people, though they needed good welfare for Nigerians, did not support the August 2024 protest because they felt it might not bring the expected result. While some took active part, some did not.
🚐🚐🚐
Both sides sought for the welfare of the country.
Today's bible text records God’s message to the exiled Israelites in Babylon.
🚒🚒🚒
Though they were far from home and living under foreign rule, God instructed them to settle down, build houses, plant gardens, marry, and raise families.
🚎🚎🚎
Most importantly, He commanded them to seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which they had been exiled and to pray for it because if it prospers, they will also prosper.
🚌🚌🚌
We are also urged to intercede and give thanks for kings and all those in authority, that they may live a peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
🚐🚐🚐
As the light of the earth and salt of the world, if we want to live in peace and prosperity, we must work towards it.

We must not join others to curse our leaders or country, regardless of the situation.

We are enjoined to pray and not to curse. We are called to seek after peace and stability of our nation and not otherwise.

*​TEACH YOUR CHILDREN GOD’S WAYS*
🎁🎁🎁
*Memory verse:* “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children…” — Deuteronomy 6:6-7, NIV
☘️☘️☘️
*​Text: Deuteronomy 6:3-9*

[3] Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you.

[4] Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.

[5] Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

[6] These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.

[7] Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

[8] Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.

[9] Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
🍀🎁🍀
​Many parents today invest heavily in their children’s education, appearance, and success, yet forget their spiritual foundation.

While academic excellence and good manners are commendable, but without a solid grounding in God’s Word, children may grow up morally weak and spiritually lost.

It is not enough to raise smart children; we must raise godly ones.
​Today’s text is part of Moses’ final address to Israel before they enter the Promised Land.
👌👌👌
He emphasises that Israel must fear the Lord and obey His commandments for them to increase in all aspects.

Their love for God must not be private and also must be taught diligently to their children and generations to come.

The passage is also a call for God’s Word to be visibly present in the home and in children’s personal lives, forming a culture of godliness.

​You cannot ignore this instruction. As a child of God, you must raise godly children.

If you are not yet married, make a commitment to God to follow this instruction in your future home. It is our responsibility to pass our faith to the next generation.
​🍀🎁🍀

*​Insight:* The baton of faith handed over to us must not drop out of our hands.
🙏🙏🙏
*​Prayer:* God, help me to raise godly children who will also keep the faith.

RBT Passage: 2 Kings 19-21
🎈🎈🎈🎈
AN INSEPARABLE UNION
🪭🪭🪭🪭
Memory Verse: So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let man not separate." Matthew 19:6, NIV
🎀🎀🎀
Text: Matthew 19:3-9
🎈🎈🎈
Matthew 19:3-9 NIV
[3] Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?”

[4] “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’

[5] and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?

[6] So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

[7] “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”

[8] Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.

[9] I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
🎁🎁🎁🎁
_______________________
A Pastor who handles a divorce case between a man and his wife had to commit the issue to God in prayer. After a few counselling sessions, the marriage union was resolved and the relationship was restored. Marriage is a spiritual, mystical union that God Himself instituted. No wonder the devil takes a keen interest in destroying the institution.
🎐🎐🎐🎐
In today's passage, the Pharisees test Jesus with a question about divorce. Jesus responded to them by returning to God's original intention: "A man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh". He emphasises that what God has joined together, no one should separate. Though Moses allowed divorce due to the hardness of people's hearts, Jesus reaffirms that marriage is meant to be an inseparable covenant, not a temporary contract. He also teaches that remaining unmarried for the sake of God's kingdom is honourable, but for those who marry, commitment and faithfulness are non-negotiable.
🎊🎊🎊🎊
Are you presently going through some struggles in your marriage? Is the devil whispering to you that the relationship cannot work as it is heading towards a rock? Remember, marriage is an inseparable union. There is nothing you are going through now that cannot be resolved if you humbly submit to the will of God.
🎁🎁🎁
___________________
Insight: Divorce or separation is not an option in marriage.
🪄🪄🪄
Prayer: Father, let there be peace in all troubled marriages.

🏀🏀🏀
WE WILL SERVE THE LORD
🪀🪀🪀
Memory Verse: "And the people said to Joshua, "We will serve the Lord our God and obey him." Joshua 24:24, NIV
🎱🎱🎱
Text: Joshua 24:22-28
🏐🏐🏐
Joshua 24:22-28 NIV
[22] Then Joshua said, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen to serve the Lord.” “Yes, we are witnesses,” they replied.

[23] “Now then,” said Joshua, “throw away the foreign gods that are among you and yield your hearts to the Lord, the God of Israel.”

[24] And the people said to Joshua, “We will serve the Lord our God and obey him.”

[25] On that day Joshua made a covenant for the people, and there at Shechem he reaffirmed for them decrees and laws.

[26] And Joshua recorded these things in the Book of the Law of God. Then he took a large stone and set it up there under the oak near the holy place of the Lord.

[27] “See!” he said to all the people. “This stone will be a witness against us. It has heard all the words the Lord has said to us. It will be a witness against you if you are untrue to your God.”

[28] Then Joshua dismissed the people, each to their own inheritance.
🥏🥏🥏
_____
A church had been experiencing a series of problems that made it difficult for a pastor to serve there beyond four years. A young pastor started his ministry in this church with a week-long revival and focused on Joshua chapter 24. At the end of the revival programme, the entire congregation entered into a covenant with God and declared, "We will serve the Lord our God and obey Him". That brought a breakthrough to the church.
🏀🏀🏀
Joshua, in today's passage, made sure he did not leave the people of Israel until he led them into a covenant decision to serve and obey God. He also made a symbol of remembrance for the covenant they made so that the coming generations will not go astray. Serving God must be a deliberate and public decision, and accountability helps maintain faithfulness. Joshua understood that long-term devotion requires both personal decision and community reinforcement.
🥎🥎🥎
No one can serve God genuinely without entering into a covenant relationship with Him. A service to God has to be done in complete obedience to Him. If anyone is serving the Lord without passion and a sense of commitment, the person is not in covenant with God. Can you check yourself if you are really in a covenant relationship with God?
⚽⚽⚽
Insight: God does not reconcile with people who do not offer Him service in complete obedience.
🏈🏈🏈
Prayer: I renew my covenant with You, O God, and vow to obey You till the end of my life.
