THEME: 🇬🇬THE PLEASING FAITH
"But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him"
TEXT: 👉HEBREWS 11:6
***************************************
MESSAGE 🇬🇬
Faith is seeing the invisible but not the non-existent. Our text declares that without faith, we can not please God. So, the faith that pleases God is the believe that comes from God, not from some other sorts or sources. God teaches us that the only faith which pleases him is the faith in his son, Jesus Christ.
We can now define the Pleasing Faith as the faith that depends on our convictions, confidence, trust, reliance, trustworthiness, and persuasion. In the new testament setting, the Pleasing Faith is the divinely implanted principle of inward confidence, assurance, trust, and reliance in God and all that he says. We can identify faith that pleases God as;
1. Such faith must be in Christ Jesus (John 14:6; John 3:16)
2. Such faith must be an obedience faith. That is it must anchor on obedience to God and his words (James 2: 20).
3. Such faith must be the faith that passes the test (trials and temptations) (James 1:2-3; 1 Cor. 10:12-13).
We know that everything around the kingdom of God is built on faith. And the Bible has declared that whatever is not done by faith is sin.
Based on this, how can I please God with my faith? We can please God by;
1. Having faith in Christ (HEB.11:6).
2. By being spiritually minded (Romans 8:5-6).
3. By fearing the Lord (Prob.15:33).
4. By studying and following Jesus examples ( 1 Peter 2: 21).
5. By obeying God (1 John 3:22).
6. By doing God's will (Isaiah 1:19).
7. By giving the sacrifices the Lord wants (Romans 12: 1-2). One of the greatest sacrifices the Lord wants is to make your life a living sacrifice, holy and that is acceptable to God. In this, we will have being able to please God the God's way. May the Lord give you the grace to please him always in Jesus mighty name Amen.

THEME: 🇬🇬THE GOD OF PEACE
“Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect, in every good work, to do His will, by working in you, that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom be glory, forever and ever, Amen.”
TEXT: 👉HEBREWS 13:20-21
***************************************
MESSAGE🇬🇬
The phrase "God of peace" carries great significance in the Bible. According to the Bible, the peace of God is the harmony and calmness of the body, mind, and spirit that supersedes earthly circumstances. The phrase "God of peace" likely means "the God who gives peace". The peace that God offers is the true peace that comes from calmness, quietness, tranquility, and contentment.
God is the source of peace, maker of peace, and the one who gives peace. So, the peace of God comes from the God of peace. There is no true and lasting peace outside of him. Hebrews 13:20-21; reads: “Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect, in every good work, to do His will, by working in you, that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom be glory, forever and ever, Amen.”
The Bible in Hebrews 13: 20 talks about the God of peace. This means that God is the Source of Our Peace. The “God of Peace,” which is located only here and in the prayers of the apostle Paul. It is found, for example, in Romans 15:33, “Now the God of peace be with you all,... Amen.” Again, it appears in Romans 16:20, “And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.” And in Philippians 4:9, “Those things, which you all have both learned and received and heard and seen in me, do; and the God of peace shall be with you.” Finally, in 1 Thessalonians 5:23, it affirms, “And the very God of peace sanctify you totally; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
The writer of Hebrews, whoever he was, used this Greek word for “peace,” with its Hebrew roots of shalom to refer to every benefit that our Lord can give: physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally — everything! The title is properly assigned to God the Father alone.
Humanity has not been capable of effecting much peace. Thus, there is little or no peace left except what is to be found in the nature and will of God. He alone is the author of peace because He designed it from eternity, and because He carried it out in Jesus Christ.
Now if all evil that befalls us mortals is the result of our original loss of peace with God, think what sorts of compensation can be ours when the God of peace takes over our lives! Therefore, let us fix our eyes on the God of peace, for only He is able to meet us at the level of our deepest needs. No wonder the Psalmists exclaims, “Great peace have they that love the Lord, nothing shall offend them” (Psalm 119: 165).
I pray for you today, as you love the Lord, and do his will, nothing in this world shall offend you or stop you from doing the will of God in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

THEME: 🇬🇬JUDGMENT WITHOUT MERCY
“For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment”
TEXT: 👉JAMES 2: 13
***************************************
MESSAGE🇬🇬
Let us define the words. "Mercy" is love to the weak, the unhappy, and the bad. "Judgment" is punishment, or a severe sentence, or a condemnation’.
The usual mode of explaining these words is that judgment in the case of the merciless shall be merciless, yet in the case of the merciful, mercy glories against judgment, so as to ward off its stroke, and deliver the merciful man, so that mercy does not fear judgment, but rather glories against it and over it. The whole lesson teaching us, that judgment shall be to every one as everyone shall have been. Here we are treating the unjust man and of judgment. You have judged and rejected others, you shall be judged and rejected yourselves. As you have sown, so shall you reap. Proverbs 11: 17 states; “The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh”. And James 2:13 states; “For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment”.
Apostle James speaks here as from the day of doom itself, like one looking back to the transactions of life as over, as things of the past, not of the future or the present. His statement is to the effect that those persons who show no mercy, who work none in the case of their fellow creatures, shall find none at the Divine tribunal hereafter, but be dealt with in strict justice, according to its rigid, unmitigated requirements, apart from any modifying influence or mingling element of mercy. Having acted, not in the spirit of the law of liberty, but in opposition to it, they shall reap no benefit from it themselves at the great future assize. He adds, "And mercy rejoiceth against judgment." It rejoiceth — literally, glorieth, boasteth. more than had it been allowed to hold undisputed sway and reign without a rival. This has been effected by the mission add mediation of the Lord Jesus.
It seems better to regard this clause; “Judgment without mercy”, as a sort of climax to the preceding statement: You are about to be judged by the law which enjoins liberty, and the judgment which will be passed by God according to that law will be unaccompanied by mercy against the man that did not show mercy, even though it is characteristic of God's mercy to glory against judgment. His mercy often spares when we deserve the blow, but it shall not be so then. You have judged and rejected others, you shall be judged and rejected yourselves. As you have sown, so shall you reap. Mathew 7: 1-2 states; “1. Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again”. And Galatians 6:7 concludes, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap”. I pray that you learn to show mercy so that you will reap mercy, in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

THEME: 🇬🇬AT THE DOOR
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hears my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me”
TEXT: 👉REVELATION 3: 20
***************************************
MESSAGE🇬🇬
The Door is that part of the furniture by which an entry is closed and opened. In the Bible the Door may represent the choices we make in life every day. My destiny is shaped by which door I open to. The door is a symbol of opportunity. Apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians 2: 12, “When I came to the city of Troas to preach the Good News of Christ, the Lord opened a door of opportunity for me”. I pray that this year, 2026, a door of opportunity will be opened to you in Jesus mighty name Amen. The Door is the access way. The Door is the path for anything you wish in life. At the door lies both good and evil. But what you open to, is what will come to you. And whatever you shut against will not come to you. In Revelation 3: 20; Jesus says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock…”. Beloved, which door are you are opening? The door of your heart, the door of your ear, or the door of your mouth. Access to life eternal is through the door. Access to eternal damnation is through the door. In 2026, careful of who you open your door to. As Christ is standing at the door, Satan is also standing at the door. You therefore have a choice. The choice you make today will bring blessings or curses. I pray that you open your door today to Jesus, who is standing, begging for you to open for him to come in.
Process of Jesus coming into your heart, if only you will open to him;
1.Jesus is standing at the door of your heart right now, pleading and begging for you to open to him
2. He knocks to see whether you will open to him. He will not force you to open to him. Life is a choice. Life is free will donation. You can donate your life to Satan or to God.
3. He speaks while standing at the door. It is only those meant to for life eternal can hear him. In John 10: 27, Jesus says my sheep hears my voice. If you are not his sheep or meant to one, though he is speaking, you will not hear him.
4. He is willing to come to in. Would not you open to him?
5. He is willing to come and dine with you, and you with him. He has promised to be your God and you, His son or daughter, if you are willing to dine with him.
Beloved you know dinning with the saviour entails that you will put on that garment of righteousness. It means you have to run away from sin and embrace the saviour. It means you have to confess your sins and ask him to be the Lord of your life, if you never did.
Are you willing to open to Jesus? If you are willing, call on Jesus to come and save you.
Say this prayer with me, Lord Jesus, I surrender all to you today. Have mercy on me and help me. I declare today, you are my Lord and saviour in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

THEME:🇬🇬 UNDERSTANDING THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD 4
“AND ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH ARE REPUTED AS NOTHING AND HE DOETH ACCORDING TO HIS WILL IN THE ARMY OF HEAVEN, AND AMONG THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH; AND NONE CAN STAY HIS HAND, OR SAY UNTO HIM, WHAT DOEST THOU?"
TEXT:👉 DANIEL 4: 35
***************************************
MESSAGE🇬🇬
The Sovereignty of God is his absolute right to do all things according to his good pleasure and His will. His sovereignty entails a lot; It entails the fact, that he is the Lord over all creations as sovereign; His exercising his kingdom over all kingdoms (be it the kingdom of witches/witchcraft, marine witchcraft kingdom, etc.), and his ever presence with His covenant people. Thus, takes into account, the word of God in Psalm103:19; “The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth overall”. God’s Sovereignty decides and administers its own laws; determine the use of its lands/territories, and can do as it pleases. Let’s us look at the principal characteristics of God’s Sovereignty;
1. Permanence- God’s Kingdom is forever, his dominion is an everlasting dominion. God rules forever. Psalm 145:13 declares; “Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations”. And Luke 1:33 KJV; affirms: “And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end”.
2. Universality-God’s extends beyond boundaries to include all kingdoms, territories, thrones and associations. Psalm 103: 19 declares: “The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all”. And when Prophet Isaiah was prophesying about Jesus, He said “His government shall have no end; “Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it” (ISAIAH 9: 7).
3. Inalienability-God’s kingdom is not transferable to another or capable of being taken away by another. The devil had tried as recorded in Isaiah 14: 12-15, “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, O Lucifer: or, O day star son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most-High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit”; but could not succeed, and in Mathew 4: 8-9; “Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me”.
4. Indivisibility- God’s kingdom cannot be divided, it remains in unity and as an sovereign entity forever. Ephesians 4:5-6; states; “One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all”.
5. Absoluteness-God’s kingdom, power, and His laws cannot be restricted by anyone, traditions, customs, or constitutions of any nation or kingdom. He does whatever pleases him; “But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased” (PSALM 115: 3).
I pray that you will stick to this great and sovereign God, who has the power, will and pleasure to do whatever he wants to do without restrictions. It means when he wants to bless you, he will not take permission from anyone to bless you. Stay connected to Jesus and you will come back with the testimony. God bless you.

THEME:🇬🇬 UNDERSTANDING THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD 3
“But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased”
TEXT: 👉PSALM 115: 3
**************************************
MESSAGE🇬🇬
In the Sovereignty of the Almighty God, “Whatever the Lord pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps. He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind from his storehouses” (Psalm 135:6–7).
In Genesis 50: 20; God in His sovereignty has the power to turn every evil thing to good. This ought to be written like a banner over every evil and sin that’s ever committed: “As for you,” Joseph says to his brothers who sold me into slavery, “you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today”. So, the very same thing that is evil in someone’s intention — the same event God intends for good.
I am here to decree and declare over your life and destiny in 2026, that every evil and wicked intentions against you and your family, our Sovereign God will turn them to your favour in Jesus mighty name, Amen. You are matching on to permanent victory in Jesus mighty name, Amen.
Then you could go to Psalm 115:3 and read, “Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases.” So, my answer is yes, it is biblical to say that God is sovereign and by that we mean, he has such power and such authority that nothing can successfully stop any act or purpose which God intends to certainly bring about. So, count on our Sovereign God in 2026. He will do you good. He will open His treasury of blessings and bless you, in Jesus mighty name, Amen.
Now, Stephen asked, “What are the big things to see and grasp in this 2026?” Let me mention just two big things.
First, the sovereignty of God is governed by his wisdom. “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!” (Romans 11:33). Everything that is unsearchable and inscrutable to us is governed by the deepest divine wisdom. God never does anything or allows anything whimsically — that is, in a meaningless way or randomly or without an infinitely wise purpose. That’s huge. That is a big thing that we must come to terms with when we think about God’s sovereignty.
Beloved, by God’s sovereign wisdom upon your life and destiny, you will make giants strides this year and will achieve all the achievable this 2026 in Jesus mighty name, Amen.
Second, his sovereignty is governed by his justice and his mercy. “For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him” (Isaiah 30:18). Or, “Is there injustice on God’s part? By no means!” (Romans 9:14). God never, never wrongs anyone. All that he does is righteous and just, but even justice is not the final and highest aim of God’s wisdom. The ultimate aim is that he be glorified for his mercy and his grace toward undeserving rebels. He sovereignly planned and accomplished salvation for sinners by the death of his Son. Because of that, we get a quote like this, from Romans 15:9: “And in order that the Gentiles [the nations] might glorify God for his mercy.” I want to decree and declare that by the mercy of God, you will reach your goal this year in Jesus mighty name, Amen.
Thus, it seems to me, these are the big things to grasp about God’s sovereignty. First, it is unstoppable power and authority over all things, including the human will. Second, it is all in accord with infinite wisdom, infinite justice, infinite mercy through Jesus Christ.
I pray for everyone who reads this devotional, that judgement of God this year in all matters of life shall favour you in Jesus’ name. You will rise never to fall, you will make it by the mercy and power of the Almighty God, in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

THEME: 🇬🇬THE BRIDE OF CHRIST
“And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband”
TEXT: 👉REVELATION 21: 2
***************************************
MESSAGE🇬🇬
We are beginning today by looking at the Bride of Christ. What is it? It is "that holy city, the New Jerusalem" (Rev. 21:2,9-10). This is what the angel pointed out to John when he promised to show him the bride, the Lamb’s wife—the Holy City, the heavenly Jerusalem. What a simple revelation! Who Is Jesus to You? This message encourages Christians to personally know Jesus, publicly proclaim Him as the Messiah, and persistently pursue a relationship with Him in their daily lives. Who will live in the Holy City? All the redeemed will live in the holy city as stated below:
1.The Old Testament saints were promised the New Jerusalem (Hebrews 11:10-16).
2.The early church was promised the city (John 14:1-3; Hebrews 13:14).
3.Every Christian is promised the holy city (Rev. 3:12; John 14:1-3; Hebrews 12:23).
4.The 144,000 Jews will be there (Rev. 7:1-8; Rev. 112:5; Rev. 14:1-5).
5.The tribulation saints will go there (Rev. 6:9-11; Rev. 7:9-17; Rev. 15:2-4; Rev. 20:4-6).
Therefore, we conclude that since all saints in the first resurrection (from Abel to the last
one saved in the future tribulation) will go to live in the New Jerusalem, that all such saints
will be members of the bride.
It takes all to be the holy city—the bride. It would be scriptural, however to say concerning the redeemed, that they are now married to Christ under the terms of the New Covenant, that they are citizens of heaven, that they have a hope of going to live in the New Jerusalem, and that because of
this they expect to be a part of the bride of Christ or a part of the heavenly city. The church will become a part of the bride when its members begin to live in the New Jerusalem but it will not be the exclusive bride of Christ. All the redeemed of all other ages will also be a part of the bride (Rev. 21:9-10). The word bride is used only 5 times in connection with believers (John 3:29; Rev. 21:2,9; Rev. 22:17). The word bridegroom is used 10 times in connection with believers (Matthew 9:15; Mark 2:19-20; Luke 5:34-35; John 3:29).
All these passages refer to believers who will live in the New Jerusalem, which is the bride, the Lamb’s wife (Rev. 21:2,9-10). The Wife of Christ in Greek: gune (GSN-1135), is a woman, married or unmarried; a wife; translated "woman" is found 129 times and "wife" 92 times. That, it refers to single women and widows as well as a married woman (Luke 4:26; Luke 10:38; John 19:26; John 20:11-15; 1 Tim. 5:2,14). The wife or bride here is the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, and is the same as the wife in Rev. 19:7, which is the redeemed of all ages who will have part in the first resurrection and who will live in the New Jerusalem forever. Israel is married to God. And here we are talking about spiritual Israel, not all those who come from Israel (Romans 9:6). The Spiritual Israel are the saints of God.
May the Lord empower us to be part of His Bride in Jesus name, Amen.

THEME: 🇬🇬THE CHURCH TRIUMPH
“And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock, I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it”
TEXT: 👉MATHEW 16: 18
***************************************
MESSAGE🇬🇬
Beloved, if you pay greater attention to the word of Jesus in Mathew 16: 18-29, you will know the mind of Christ concerning His church. The Lord is building His church and the gates of Hell shall not overcome it. Since the day of Pentecost, the church has faced attacks from Satan, but the church has continued to grow and multiply and fill the earth because Christ is building His church. The Lord has given us the keys to the kingdom of heaven. We must use these keys to bind the works and the plans of the enemy and release the blessings and the purposes of God.
In MATTHEW 16:18-19, Jesus says; “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock, I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it”.
The main point of this message is to explore and understand the power, joy, and hope that comes from the resurrection of Jesus Christ, emphasizing that despite our challenging circumstances, we can face tomorrow because our Savior is alive.
In Matthew 28:1-10; Christ by His resurrection has destroyed the works of the devil. The Lord has triumphed over the devil on the Cross of Calvary. The Lord Jesus came to this world to destroy the work of the devil. He went around healing all who were under the oppression of the devil. We must not think that God has caused the suffering we face when it is really the attack of the devil. We must use our faith and spiritual authority to destroy the works of the devil.
In COLOSSIANS 2:15; Christ “…having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross”.
In 1 JOHN 3:8, the Bible declares; “He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work”.
In ACTS 10:38, the Bible declares, “how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him’.
The Christ power has been given to the church to rule, reign and destroy the works of darkness. But by this power, are all believers free? The answer is certainly no. Why? Many believers do not know what is available. They lack the knowledge of the power available to them. This is the reason Isaiah 5: 13 declares, “Therefore, my people are gone into captivity because they have no knowledge; and their honorable men are famished, and their multitudes dried up with thirst”.
The church needs to arise. By this, I mean; the individual church, the local church and the universal church. Men of the altar should seek knowledge from the scriptures, and teach the people so. Pastors, Evangelists, Prophets, Bishops and all ministers of the Gospel should arise, live lives of holiness and righteousness, and take the power available to the church (Luke 10:19), and fight to deliver our members, our territories, thrones, altars and lands. Men of the altars must depose those bound by Satan and their demons, deliver and restore them to the part of glory. The church must not sleep again. The church must arise and fight. In this shall the Lord be glorified in the church. The Lord bless you by heeding this call in Jesus name, Amen.
