A WALKTHROUGH – Sunday 14th June, 2026 Bible lesson

Scriptures: 1 Samuel 3:8-18 & 2 Timothy 1:1-14

Topic: A Generation That Must Hear God Again

Spiritual assignments do not die with one generation; they are transferred. Sometimes the transition happens like Elijah and Elisha, where a servant is prepared under a man still full of power. Other times, it happens like Eli and Samuel, where spiritual weakness has entered, and God begins to raise a younger vessel to continue His work. Today's lessons reveal that when spiritual fire begins to fade, God starts searching for hearts that can still hear Him.

In the first scripture, Israel was in a spiritually dry season. The Bible says, “The word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision” (1 Samuel 3:1). Even more painful is verse 3, which says, “Ere the lamp of God went out in the temple…” This was not only about a physical lamp; it symbolized a generation where spiritual light was gradually fading. Eli had become weak, his household careless, and corruption had entered the priesthood. Yet before the light completely went out, God called young Samuel. While others were no longer hearing clearly from God, Samuel answered, “Speak; for thy servant heareth.” God was already preparing a new voice for a new season.

In the second scripture, Paul, an aging apostle nearing the end of his assignment, encouraged Timothy to continue the work faithfully. Paul reminded Timothy of the genuine faith passed down to him and urged him to “stir up the gift of God” (v.6). Timothy was living in difficult times filled with fear, opposition, and false teachings, yet Paul charged him not to be ashamed of the testimony of Christ. Just as Samuel rose in a declining generation, Timothy was called to preserve truth in a compromised generation.

Brethren, today's message speaks loudly to our generation. The true Word of God is becoming precious again, not because the Bible has disappeared, but because truth is being diluted, debated, and manipulated. We now live in a time where people argue endlessly against sound doctrine, and many no longer rightly divide the Word of truth as Scripture commands in 2 Timothy 2:15. The light of God in many places is growing dim. Things once condemned in the world are now tolerated even celebrated in some parts of our churches. Holiness is mocked, repentance is avoided, and the gospel is increasingly turned into business and entertainment.

The painful truth is that many now pursue titles more than truth, positions more than purity, and popularity more than God's presence. Some have turned the gospel into merchandise, fulfilling what Scripture warned in 2 Peter 2:3: “And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you.” Sin is excused, compromise is defended, and many no longer tremble at God's Word.

But brethren, God will never allow His work to perish. Throughout Scripture, whenever darkness increased, God raised voices. When Israel was confused, God raised Samuel. When Baal worship spread, God raised Elijah. When the early church faced corruption and fear, God raised Paul and Timothy. God is still raising a generation today, I mean, a generation that will hear His voice again and speak truth without fear.

These are not people running after ranks and applause, but people seeking spiritual depth and genuine holiness. They are not perfect people, but surrendered people. They are people who love God's presence more than public praise. People who will stand for truth even when truth becomes unpopular. People who would rather please God than impress men.

Brethren, the question is not whether God is raising a new generation. The question is whether you will be part of it. To become part of this generation, there must be genuine repentance. Sin must be forsaken. Pride must die. Secret compromise must end. The ears that will hear God clearly are ears attached to hearts that truly seek Him.

This is not the time to sleep spiritually. This is the time to return to prayer, holiness, Scripture, and sincere fellowship with God. The world is waiting for believers who still hear from heaven. The church is waiting for men and women whose lives still carry the fire of God.

Gracious Father, revive Your church again and let Your light shine where darkness has increased. Raise a generation that will hear Your voice clearly, stand boldly for truth, and live holy before You. Deliver us from compromise, corruption, pride, and spiritual blindness. Help us to forsake every hidden sin and become vessels fit for Your work in these last days. Let Your fire burn again upon our hearts, and make us part of the generation that will not be ashamed of the gospel of Christ. In Jesus' name, Amen. 🙏

*A WALKTHROUGH – Friday 12th June, 2026 Bible lesson*

Scripture: Luke 11:14-28

Topic: You Need to Remain Strong

When we were younger and fell sick during exam period, many of our parents would say, “You have to be strong; your exams are near.” They understood that weakness is dangerous when someone has an assignment ahead. In the same way, every Christian has an assignment from God, and that is why Jesus is teaching us today that we must remain spiritually strong.

In Luke 11:14-28, Jesus explained that when a strong man guards his house, everything inside remains safe. But when someone stronger attacks him and overpowers him, all his possessions become vulnerable and can be taken away. Jesus used this illustration to teach us an important spiritual truth. Your life is like a house. Your family, faith, peace, joy, purpose, and even people around you are connected to your spiritual strength. The moment spiritual weakness enters, the enemy looks for access.

Many of us are strong in human ways. We are intelligent, educated, skillful, disciplined, talented, and morally uprigh without realizing that the devil is also strategic. He studies people carefully. He attacks gradually. He waits for moments when prayer becomes weak, Bible study becomes occasional, and spiritual fire begins to fade. A believer who stops growing spiritually may still look fine outside while becoming weak inside.

Some Christians once loved God deeply. They prayed fervently, read their Bible daily, and enjoyed fellowship with God. But today, many have become spiritually tired and careless. The devil is not happy when believers are strong, so he fights consistency. He knows that a cold Christian is easier to overpower than a prayerful one.

Jesus taught us to pray, “Give us day by day our daily bread” (Luke 11:3). This means spiritual strength must be renewed daily. Yesterday's prayer cannot fully fight today's battle. Yesterday's revelation cannot completely sustain today's temptation. Every day we need fresh strength from God through prayer, worship, fellowship, and the Word of God.

The Bible warns us in 1 Peter 5:8, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” The devil does not sleep or rest. That is why Ephesians 6:10 says, “Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.”

Brethren, many homes are suffering today because spiritual strength has faded. Many believers are too weak to stand for truth again. Instead of fighting darkness together, Christians are now fighting one another. Our defence headquarters, so to say, is exposed. Jesus warned that “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation” (Luke 11:17). While souls are dying, many believers are distracted by arguments, competition, worldly desires, and spiritual laziness. The only one in the church that is alive to God's purpose is seen as an enemy.

Look around carefully. Many people depend on your strength without even saying it. Your children depend on your prayers. Your family depends on your faith. Your friends depend on your encouragement. Your church depends on believers who are spiritually alive. If the enemy weakens you, many others may become vulnerable too.

Brethren, rise again. Return to your secret place with God. Return to the Bible. Return to prayer. Return to spiritual hunger. Do not allow the fire on your altar to die. Be strong for Christ. Be strong for your family. Be strong for those who depend on you. Be strong because the enemy is looking for weak places to attack.

The good news is this: the same Jesus who cast out demons and brought freedom in today's lesson is still giving strength to His people. Your weakness is not the end. God can renew you again. He can restore your spiritual fire again.

Gracious Father, where our strength is failing, please strengthen us again. We refuse to become weak and vulnerable to the enemy. Restore every dying spiritual fire and renew our hunger for prayer and Your Word. For everyone who is sick, discouraged, tired, or spiritually weak, let Your healing and strength arise today. Help us to stand strong for You until the end. In Jesus' name, Amen. 🙏

A WALKTHROUGH – Wednesday 10th June, 2026 Bible lesson

Scripture: Exodus 3:7-15

Topic: God Is Making You the Solution

There are problems everywhere today from broken homes, struggling marriages, unemployment, sickness, fear, confusion, compromise in the church, and pain in the nation. Many people spend their days asking, “Who will solve these problems?” Yet today's lesson carries a surprising message from God: the solution may be closer than you think. God is saying, “You are the one I want to use.”

In Exodus 3:7-15, God spoke to Moses from the burning bush and said, "I have surely seen the affliction of my people... and have heard their cry" (v.7). What a comforting truth! God sees every pain, every tear, every silent struggle, and every burden His people carry. Heaven is not blind to what is happening on earth. God sees the suffering in families, the hardship in the country, the confusion in society, and even the weakness in the church.

But God did not stop at seeing the problem. In verse 10, He said to Moses, "Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh." The same Moses who once felt rejected, weak, and unqualified was the very person God chose to become part of the solution. Moses looked at himself and asked, "Who am I?" (v.11). In simple words, Moses was saying, “Lord, I do not have what it takes.”

This is where many believers are today. You see the problem clearly, but when God points at you, fear rises. You look at your background, your weakness, your finances, your past mistakes, or your limitations and conclude that you cannot do anything meaningful. But God answered Moses with one powerful assurance: "Certainly I will be with thee" (v.12). The success of God's assignment does not depend on human strength alone; it depends on God's presence.

Then God revealed Himself as "I AM THAT I AM" (v.14). This means God is all-sufficient. He is whatever His people need Him to be. Where you are weak, He is strong. Where you lack wisdom, He supplies wisdom. Where there is insufficiency, He becomes enough. God does not call people because they are already complete; He calls them because He is complete.

Brethren, many of us complain daily about the condition of the church, the nation, our homes, and our generation, yet very few are willing to rise with genuine love, sacrifice, and burden to become part of the answer. The church needs believers who will stand for truth again. Families need fathers and mothers who will lead spiritually again. Young people need examples worth following again. God is still searching for men and women like Gideon, who felt small but trusted God's voice, and Deborah, who rose courageously in a difficult generation.

The tragedy of our time is not only the increase of problems but the silence of people God has called to act. Many kingdom giants are sleeping while darkness grows louder. But today's message is a wake-up call. Stop focusing only on your deficiency and begin to look at Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27). God is looking for willing vessels.

You may be the answer to the cry in your family. You may be the voice your church needs. You may be the encouragement someone is praying for. You may be the leader God wants to raise for such a time as this. Do not run away from the burden God has placed in your heart. If God is sending you, He will also sustain you.

Brethren, rise up in faith. Rise up in prayer. Rise up in holiness. Rise up in love. God is still making ordinary people into extraordinary solutions.

Gracious Father, awaken every sleeping giant in Your kingdom and raise end-time soldiers who will stand boldly for Your purpose. Deliver us from fear, excuses, and feelings of inadequacy. Help us to stop focusing on our limitations and to trust in Christ within us, the hope of glory. Raise men and women who will become solutions in their homes, churches, communities, and generation. In Jesus' name, Amen. 🙏

A WALKTHROUGH – Sunday 7th June, 2026 (Juvenile Harvest)

Scriptures: Proverbs 4:20-27 & Luke 18:15-17

Topic: Raising Children for the Kingdom

Children are a precious gift from God. The Psalmist declared, "Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD" (Psalm 127:3). They do not merely belong to their parents; they belong to God. This means children are not only the future of the church, they are already part of the church today. They have a place in God's heart, God's house, and God's kingdom.

In the first lesson, Solomon spoke passionately to his son, urging him to pay attention to God's Word and to guard his heart with diligence. He understood that a child's heart is like fertile soil; whatever is planted there will eventually grow. Solomon was not merely teaching information; he was shaping a destiny. This passage reminds parents, teachers, and church leaders that raising godly children begins from the heart. Before we can expect children to walk in righteousness, we must intentionally fill their hearts with God's truth.

In the second lesson, people brought little children to Jesus, and although the disciples tried to send them away, Jesus welcomed them with open arms. He said, "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God." What a beautiful picture of the love of Christ! Jesus did not see children as a disturbance; He saw them as precious souls worthy of His attention, blessing, and care. The same Jesus is still calling children to Himself today.

Brethren, one of the reasons our society is bleeding today is because many children have grown up without proper spiritual guidance. We see increasing violence, moral confusion, disobedience, addiction, and broken values because many hearts were left untaught and unguarded. Sadly, this challenge is not only in society but sometimes within the church. Yet God's Word offers hope. The solution is not merely better schools, technology, or stricter rules. The solution begins with raising children in the knowledge, fear, and love of God.

The Bible says, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6). Likewise, Paul reminded Timothy, "And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation" (2 Timothy 3:15). These passages remind us that spiritual training should not wait until adulthood. The seeds of faith planted in childhood often become mighty trees of righteousness in later years.

To our dear children, Jesus loves you deeply. He knows your name, your dreams, your struggles, and your future. He is calling you to walk with Him from an early age. Do not think you are too young to know God, pray, study the Bible, or serve Him. Samuel heard God's voice as a child. Timothy learned the Scriptures as a child. David trusted God from his youth. God has a purpose for your life, and He wants you to grow in His wisdom and grace.

As we celebrate this Juvenile Harvest, let every parent, guardian, teacher, and church worker make a fresh commitment to nurture children spiritually. Let us deliberately teach them God's Word, pray with them, encourage them, and guide them toward Christ. A child taught in the way of the Lord today can become a blessing to generations tomorrow.

Children may still be growing in their understanding of God's kingdom, but they are already members of God's family and precious in His sight. Let us receive them, teach them, protect them, and lead them to Jesus, who is waiting with open arms.

Gracious Father, we thank You for the precious gift of children. Let Your hand rest mightily upon every child in our homes and churches. Make them useful vessels in Your kingdom and preserve them from every evil influence. Give them hearts that love You and minds that seek Your truth. We pray especially for those children who were kidnapped, Lord, let Your mighty hand bring them back safely and frustrate every work of wickedness against them. In Jesus' name, Amen. 🙏

A WALKTHROUGH – Friday 5th June, 2026

Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:1-10

Topic: Lord, Teach Me to Hear Your Voice

One of the greatest tragedies in life is not poverty, failure, or hardship. It is living without recognizing when God is speaking. Many people pray for direction, breakthroughs, and answers, yet when God speaks, they do not recognize His voice. They hear many voices, the voice of fear, culture, friends, social media, and personal desires—but struggle to hear the voice that matters most.

In 1 Samuel 3:1-10, the young Samuel was serving in the house of God under Eli. The Bible says, "The word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision" (v.1). It was a season of spiritual dryness, yet God was preparing a young boy to become His voice to a generation.

One night, the Lord called Samuel. Thinking it was Eli, Samuel ran to him and said, "Here am I." This happened three times. Samuel was willing to respond, but he did not yet know the voice of God. The Bible explains, "Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him" (v.7). Samuel's problem was not rebellion; it was lack of spiritual understanding.

Many believers are like Samuel. God is speaking through His Word, convictions, circumstances, and the prompting of the Holy Spirit, yet they mistake His voice for something else. Some ignore Him completely. Others are too distracted to listen. The danger is not that God has stopped speaking; the danger is that many hearts have stopped listening.

What is beautiful about this passage is Samuel's attitude. Each time he was called, he responded, "Here am I." He had a ready heart. When Eli finally understood what was happening, he instructed Samuel to say, "Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth" (v.9). That simple statement changed Samuel's life forever. The boy who was listening became a prophet through whom God would speak to Israel.

Brethren, God still speaks today. He speaks through the Scriptures, through prayer, through the Holy Spirit, and through godly counsel. But hearing God requires a quiet heart, a humble spirit, and a willingness to obey. Many want God to speak, but few are ready to listen. Many desire His promises, but not His instructions.

This lesson is especially important for our young people. Samuel did not wait until he was old before responding to God. He learned to hear God's voice while still young. The earlier a person learns to recognize God's voice, the fewer wrong turns he is likely to make in life. A child who knows God's voice will be better prepared to resist temptation, avoid deception, and walk confidently in God's purpose.

Today, God is still calling names just as He called Samuel. The question is not whether God is speaking; the question is whether we are listening. May our response be the same as Samuel's: "Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth." A life that hears God will never lack direction.

Gracious Father, remove every distraction that prevents us from hearing Your voice. Give us hearts that are sensitive to Your Spirit and willing to obey Your Word. Teach our children and young people to know You early and to recognize Your voice above every other voice. In Jesus' name, Amen. 🙏

A WALKTHROUGH – Watchnight Service, Thursday 4th June, 2026

Scripture: Genesis 22:1-8

Topic: A Place of Total Submission

The Bible asks a profound question in Amos 3:3: "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" In everyday language, people say, "It takes two to tango." The truth is simple: fellowship, family life, Christian service, and spiritual growth become stronger when people are united in purpose and aligned with God's will. Faith flourishes where there is agreement, and the future shines brighter where there is submission.

In today's lesson, God tested Abraham by asking him to offer Isaac, the son of promise, as a sacrifice. Abraham obeyed without argument and began the journey to Mount Moriah. However, there is another person in the story whose submission is often overlooked, that is Isaac. He was old enough to carry the wood, ask questions, and understand what was happening. Yet he did not resist his father. He trusted him. Abraham displayed obedience to God, while Isaac displayed submission to his father. Together, they created an atmosphere where God's will could be accomplished.

This teaches us that submission is not weakness; it is strength under God's control. Abraham's obedience alone would not have produced this testimony if Isaac had refused to cooperate. Imagine if Isaac had run away, fought back, or rejected his father's instruction. God's purpose would have been much more difficult to accomplish. Instead, father and son walked together in agreement, trust, and faith.

This lesson speaks directly to many homes today. Some families are divided in purpose and direction. Children are moving one way while parents are moving another way. Sometimes even husband and wife are pursuing different paths. In such an atmosphere, it becomes difficult to express faith, maintain spiritual growth, and hear God clearly. Unity does not mean everyone is perfect, but it means everyone is willing to submit first to God and then to one another in love and respect.

This is why Ephesians 6:1 says, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right." Then verse 4 instructs parents not to provoke their children but to nurture them in the ways of God. God did not place the burden on one side alone. Both parents and children must submit themselves to God's authority. When this happens, the family becomes a place where faith can grow and God's purpose can flourish.

The same principle applies to marriage. A husband and wife are not competitors but partners in God's assignment. Sometimes a wife's calling is hindered because there is no support, understanding, or unity from her husband. Likewise, a husband's purpose can be disturbed where there is constant resistance and lack of cooperation from his wife. When there is no place of submission, even good visions can struggle. But when husband and wife submit to God and honor one another, they become stronger together than apart.

As we celebrate our Juvenile Harvest, this lesson carries a special message for our children. Isaac teaches us that young people can trust God, respect godly guidance, and learn obedience early in life. The church, parents, and guardians must help children discover God's purpose from a young age. Children who learn to submit to God early often become adults who stand firm in faith and wisdom.

Brethren, the altar on Mount Moriah was not only a place of sacrifice; it was a place of total submission. Abraham submitted to God. Isaac submitted to his father. Together they experienced God's provision and intervention. If we desire God's best for our homes, marriages, children, ministries, and future, we must learn the same lesson. Where there is total submission to God, there will be divine direction, provision, and fulfillment.

Gracious Father, teach us the beauty of total submission to Your will. Unite our hearts with Yours and with one another. Let our homes become places where faith grows, our children become lovers of Your truth, and our families walk together in Your purpose. Remove every spirit of rebellion, division, and self-will, and help us to trust You completely. In Jesus' name, Amen. 🙏

A WALKTHROUGH – Wednesday 3rd June, 2026 Bible lesson

Scripture: Luke 2:41-52

Topic: The Blessing of Early Spiritual Growth

One of the greatest gifts a child can receive is the knowledge of God from an early age. Many battles in life could have been avoided if people had known God's truth sooner. While God is able to help and accelerate spiritual growth at any stage of life, there is a unique blessing in growing with God from a tender age.

In Luke 2:41-52, we find Jesus at twelve years old sitting among the teachers in the temple, listening, asking questions, and increasing in wisdom. While many children of His age were occupied with other things, Jesus was already showing interest in the things of God. When His parents found Him, He said, "Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" (Luke 2:49). Even at a young age, Jesus understood the importance of God's purpose for His life.

Spiritual growth from an early age helps a person recognize truth and avoid deception. Many people have fallen into error because they did not know God's Word for themselves. Some have been misled, manipulated, or exploited by false teachers because they lacked spiritual understanding. A child who is raised in the knowledge of God learns to discern right from wrong and becomes familiar with the voice of God.

This reminds us of Timothy, of whom Paul wrote: "And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus" (2 Timothy 3:15). Timothy's spiritual strength did not begin in adulthood. It began when he was taught the Scriptures as a child. The Word of God gave him wisdom, direction, and stability for life.

As we celebrate the Juvenile Harvest, today's lesson reminds parents, guardians, teachers, and the church that children must not only be fed physically but also spiritually. We must guide them towards God's Word, prayer, and godly living. Children should not be left to discover God by accident. They should be intentionally taught the ways of the Lord so they can recognize their God-given assignments early in life.

To our children and young people, do not wait until adulthood before seeking God. Learn from the table of God's knowledge now. Read the Bible, ask questions, attend fellowship, and build a relationship with Christ. The earlier you know God, the stronger your foundation will be when life's storms arise.

Brethren, early spiritual growth does not make a child perfect, but it gives them a compass for life. It helps them walk in wisdom, resist temptation, recognize God's voice, and discover His purpose. The seeds of God's Word planted in a young heart today can become a mighty tree of faith tomorrow.

Gracious Father, we thank You for the gift of children and young people in Your church. Plant a deep hunger for Your Word in their hearts from a tender age. Help them to know You, love You, and follow Your ways all the days of their lives. Grant our parents, guardians, and church leaders the wisdom and commitment to train children in the fear of the Lord. In Jesus' name, Amen. 🙏

A Walkthrough – Sunday 31st May, 2026

Scriptures: Joel 2:23-32 & Luke 4:12-21

Topic: The Pathway to Fulfillment

Many believers desire God's promises, but few understand that between prophecy and fulfillment lies a pathway ordained by God. A promise from God does not fail, but the fulfillment of that promise is often connected to our response to Him. The greatest pathway to fulfillment is not human wisdom, connections, strength, or effort; it is Jesus Christ. Whatever God has promised, Christ remains the doorway through which it becomes reality.

In the first scripture, God spoke to a people who had suffered loss and devastation. In verses 25-26, He declared, "I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten." What a comforting promise! Yet God did not stop at material restoration. In verses 28-29, He promised, "I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh." This reveals that the greatest blessing was not the corn, wine, or oil, but the presence of God through His Spirit. Then in verse 32, God said, "Whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered." The pathway to restoration, deliverance, and fulfillment was to turn back to God and depend on Him.

When we come to Luke 4:18-21, we find Jesus standing in the synagogue after overcoming temptation in the wilderness. He opened the book and read, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me..." (Luke 4:18). He declared that He was anointed to preach good tidings to the poor, heal the brokenhearted, deliver captives, recover sight to the blind, and set the oppressed free. Then in verse 21, He made a powerful statement: "This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears." In other words, the fulfillment of God's promises had arrived in the person of Jesus Christ.

This is where both passages meet. Joel announced the promise, while Jesus announced the fulfillment. Joel spoke of the outpouring of the Spirit; Jesus came as the One through whom that promise would be accomplished. Joel promised restoration; Jesus came to restore. Joel promised deliverance; Jesus came to deliver. Joel promised salvation to those who call upon the Lord; Jesus revealed Himself as the Lord who saves.

Brethren, many people pray for fulfillment while keeping Christ at the edge of their lives. They celebrate their intelligence, connections, achievements, and influence, yet neglect the One through whom all things are possible. Some seek God's promises but not God's presence. Some desire the blessing but ignore the Blesser. When Christ is pushed aside, destiny becomes difficult, vision becomes blurry, and God's promises may appear like a mirage in the desert.

The truth is simple: Jesus is not merely a helper on the pathway to fulfillment; He is the pathway. Every genuine achievement, open door, restoration, victory, and divine fulfillment finds its source in Him. Without Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5). When Christ occupies the center of our hearts, what looked impossible begins to align with God's purpose and timing.

Have you pursued the promise more than the Promiser? Return to Jesus today. Surrender your life afresh to Him. Let Him take His rightful place as Lord over your plans, ambitions, and expectations. The One who fulfilled prophecy is still fulfilling promises today.

Gracious Father, as our lives are in Your hands, cause us to always embrace You and never push You to the background of our hearts. For everyone who has become discouraged or has lost hope in Your promises, let today mark a new beginning. As they embrace Christ afresh, let every promise You have spoken concerning their lives begin to find fulfillment according to Your will. In Jesus' name, Amen. 🙏
