SEPTEMBER 2026 EDITION REVIEW
The September 2026 edition is themed “Joy in the Journey.” It reminds us that the Christian life is a journey of faith through pleasant and difficult seasons. God remains faithful in every season, providing grace, strength, guidance, security, and sustaining joy. Trust God, remain grateful, and keep your eyes on the glory ahead. The hope of eternal life with Christ gives strength to continue the journey with joy despite present challenges.
FROM THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT, “Beauty of the Path,” presents the Christian journey as a path laid with grace. It compares the journey with Israel’s journey from Egypt to Canaan, where difficult experiences caused many Israelites to lose their joy. No trial should steal the joy of salvation. The glory-land and eternal home with Christ offer greater hope beyond present circumstances. Maintain gratitude and seek God’s enabling grace at every pace of the race. God can turn stumbling blocks into stepping-stones, and work all things together for good.
COVER STORY, “Joy in the Journey,” encourages us to face life’s challenges with proper perspective, patience, and absolute faith in God. This world is not our permanent home. Challenges, turbulence, adversity, and perplexity are part of the earthly journey, but God does not abandon His children. His delay is not denial. The Canaanite woman’s persistence demonstrates the importance of importunate prayer during difficult seasons. Trust in God’s love and faithfulness, hold firmly to His promises, and keep moving forward in faith. God can turn difficult situations into testimonies.
FROM THE ARCHIVES, “Trusting the Living God With the Whole Heart,” calls us to trust God completely at all times. Such trust is essential during challenges and uncertain seasons. God provides salvation, strength, security, and supply to those who depend on Him. Wholehearted trust shifts attention from circumstances to God’s faithfulness and ability to fulfil His purpose.
YOU AND YOUR HEALTH, “Preventing Bowel Obstruction,” draws attention to bowel obstruction and the importance of protecting digestive health. It encourages awareness of the condition and appropriate attention to symptoms that may require medical care. Readers are reminded to take digestive health seriously and seek professional medical attention when necessary.
DID YOU KNOW THAT?, “Gratitude,” highlights the importance of maintaining a thankful heart. Gratitude helps us recognise God’s goodness, provision, faithfulness, and sustaining grace. The article encourages thanksgiving throughout life’s journey. A grateful heart helps us appreciate God’s blessings and remain joyful, even when circumstances are difficult.
TRACTS OF LIFE, “Tips for the Trip,” provides practical guidance for maintaining joy throughout the Christian journey. Be sure of your salvation, and deepen your relationship with God through His Word and prayer. Live a separated, sanctified, and Spirit-controlled life. Abide in Christ, and fellowship with like-minded Christians. Trust God’s omnipotence and goodness. Continue growing in grace and faith, and avoid spiritual stagnancy and lukewarmness. Obey God’s Word, serve Him joyfully, give thanks always, face challenges with patience and faith, and share the Good News through your lips and life.
THE VIRTUOUS WOMAN, “My Rock, My Refuge, My Rest,” encourages women to trust God through life’s storms. It presents God as the believer’s Rock, Refuge, and Rest. His Word is the rock on which faith stands. He is also a place of safety and refuge in times of trouble. He provides rest in this life and in eternity. Hold on through difficult seasons and remember that storms do not last for ever. God’s faithfulness remains constant.
CHILD TRAINING, “Celebrate the Little Wins,” encourages parents to create an atmosphere of joy and contentment in the home. Children may experience disappointment, delayed dreams, and difficult seasons. Parents should help them trust God’s purpose and timing. Small steps in prayer, Scripture, family devotion, responsibility, service, and other areas of growth deserve recognition. Effort and progress should be celebrated, even when an achievement seems small. Such encouragement builds confidence, resilience, perseverance, and a positive mindset. Parents should also lovingly guide children towards further improvement and encourage joyful service to the Lord.
