SUB-THEME: THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD.

TOPIC: FORGIVENESS IN THE FAMILY.

TEXT: GENESIS 45:3-15.

3. Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still living?” But his brothers were not able to answer him, because they were terrified at his presence.
4. Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.” When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt!
5. And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.
6. For two years now there has been famine in the land, and for the next five years there will be no plowing and reaping.
7. But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
8. “So then, it was not you who sent me here, but God. He made me father to Pharaoh, lord of his entire household and ruler of all Egypt.
9. Now hurry back to my father and say to him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me; don’t delay.
10. You shall live in the region of Goshen and be near me—you, your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and all you have.
11. I will provide for you there, because five years of famine are still to come. Otherwise you and your household and all who belong to you will become destitute.’
12. “You can see for yourselves, and so can my brother Benjamin, that it is really I who am speaking to you.
13. Tell my father about all the honor accorded me in Egypt and about everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.”
14. Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin embraced him, weeping.
15. And he kissed all his brothers and wept over them. Afterward his brothers talked with him.

TOPIC: FORGIVENESS IN THE FAMILY.

MESSAGE:
Joseph forgave his brothers despite their hatred and betrayal, recognising that God use their evil actions for a greater purpose. Instead of seeking revenge, he reassured them of security and provision, emphasising reconciliation over past wrongs. His grace highlights the power of love and forgiveness in restoring broken relationships. Verily, love triumphs over past wrongs and jealousy, and restores harmony. Hatred, jealousy, unresolved conflicts and a lack of communication over matters such as inheritance, and land disputes plague many families. Is this the story of your family? Believers must not allow such things to affect their relationship with one another and with Christ. Like Joseph, embrace forgiveness and tolerance in your family.

REFLECTION:
Forgiveness helps broken relationships.

PRAYER:
Lord, help me to always forgive, in Jesus' name. Amen.

SATURDAY 26TH SEPTEMBER, 2026.

SUB-THEME: THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD.

TOPIC: SHOWING KINDNESS.

TEXT: EPHESIANS 4:31-32.

31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. Col 3:19

32 And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you. Mat 6:14 Mar 11:25 Phi 2:1 Col 3:12 Col 3:13

TOPIC: SHOWING KINDNESS.

MESSAGE:
Kindness is the quality of being friendly, generous and considerate. According to our text, a kind person must avoid bitterness, harsh words, slander and malice. Some acts of kindness include washing clothes, giving someone a meal, payment of bills or fees, and so on. Kindness brings joy and inspires others to do the same. In families, conflicts are inevitable, yet some hold grudges for years, which displeases God. Family members must learn to respond with grace and show Christian love while also embodying the spirit of compassion and forgiveness. This will further strengthen their unity and knowledge of Christ. Therefore, Christians are encouraged to be intentional in showing kindness daily.

REFLECTION:
As a recipient of God's grace, be kind to all.

PRAYER:
Lord, thank you for the grace to show kindness to others. Amen.

FRIDAY 25TH SEPTEMBER, 2026.

SUB-THEME: THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD.

TOPIC: OFFER A SECOND CHANCE.

TEXT: LUKE 15:23-24.

23. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate.
24. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.

TOPIC: OFFER A SECOND CHANCE.

MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we learned that the Father did not hold any malice or grudges against his prodigal son when he returned. Rather, he welcomed him, clothed him, and celebrated him without any resentment despite his past mistakes. The Father saw him as a sheep that had wandered away and, like a dead son, but now alive. So, he expressed unconditional love and gave him a second chance. Many parents lack this kind of love for their children when they make grievous mistakes. Even when the children confess, they hardly accept or trust them. Are you such a parent? Find a place in your heart to forgive the wrongs of your children and give them a second chance.

REFLECTION:
Do not give up on a wayward child.

PRAYER:
Lord, give me a heart of love towards those who do wrong. Amen.

THURSDAY 24TH SEPTEMBER, 2026.

SUB-THEME: THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD.

TOPIC: SHOWING MERCY AND COMPASSION.

TEXT: LUKE 15:20-22

20. So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
21. “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22. “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.

TOPIC: SHOWING MERCY AND COMPASSION.

MESSAGE
Christians should show mercy and compassion, especially to family members (Gal. 6:10). This story shows how a father mercifully and compassionately forgave his wayward son without condemnation, emphasising restoration over punishment. However, some parents find it difficult to forgive their children's offenses. For example, a Christian family sent their daughter away because of an out-of-wedlock pregnancy. Some children sometimes squander their tuition fees, boycott classes, or indulge in vices that affect their academic performance and spiritual moral lives. Despite the hurts and pains caused, believers are encouraged to extend mercy and compassion just as they receive from the Lord. How do you handle wayward persons within your family? Show them mercy and compassion.

REFLECTION:
Be merciful to others.

PRAYER:
Father, help me to be merciful and compassionate to others. Amen.

WEDNESDAY 23RD SEPTEMBER, 2026.

SUB-THEME: THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD.

TOPIC: TEAMWORK II.

TEXT: JOHN 12:1-3.

1. Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
2. Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him.
3. Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

TOPIC: TEAMWORK II.

MESSAGE:
Lazarus and his sisters demonstrated their love for Jesus by frequently hosting Him. Before His crucifixion, Martha honoured Him by preparing a meal, Lazarus dined with Him, and Mary gave Him a precious gift, which Jesus saw as an anointing for His burial. Each expressed their love and commitment to Jesus in their way. This emphasises the power of family teamwork in serving God. It encourages families to work together as a team for greater impact. Sadly, some families are reluctant and rarely agree on what to give for mission work, church projects, or help to alleviate the plight of the needy when the need arises. Working as a team pleases the Lord and accomplishes more than individual efforts. Are you working as a team in your family? If not, it is not too late to develop a team spirit.

REFLECTION:
Teamwork solidifies families.

PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, help my family to work as a team. Amen.

TUESDAY 22ND SEPTEMBER, 2026.

SUB-THEME: THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD.

TOPIC: TEAMWORK I.

TEXT: ACTS 18:24-26.

24 Meanwhile, a Jew named Apollos arrived in Ephesus. He was a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man, and well versed in the Scriptures. 1Co 1:12 [1Co 3:5] [Tit 3:13]
25 He had been instructed in the Lord’s way, and with spiritual fervor he kept speaking and teaching accurately about Jesus, although he knew only about John’s baptism.
26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him home and explained God’s way to him more accurately. [Rom 16:3] [1Co 3:6]

TOPIC: TEAMWORK I.

MESSAGE:
Aquila and Priscilla was a couple that maximised their strengths to form an effective team. Apollos was eloquent and zealous for the Lord but lacked understanding of some doctrinal issues. Aquila and Priscilla invited and helped him by teaching him the way of God more adequately. They were such a couple that were always mentioned together in the Bible, highlighting their unity. Indeed, they are a team to reckon with. Families that work as a team accomplish more for God's kingdom, while disunity hinders progress. Some couples, church workers, or elders are not united in matters that concern the Christian faith. Are you working as a team in your family? If not, take the challenge of this family to embrace teamwork for greater impact.

REFLECTION:
It pays to work as a team.

PRAYER:
Oh Lord, help families to live and work as a team. Amen.

SUB-THEME: THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD.

TOPIC: ACCEPTING JESUS.

TEXT: ACTS 16:25-34.

25. About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
26. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose.
27. The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped.
28. But Paul shouted, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!”
29. The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.
30. He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31. They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”
32. Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house.
33. At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his household were baptized.
34. The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God—he and his whole household.

TOPIC: ACCEPTING JESUS.

MESSAGE:
Paul and Silas, despite being imprisoned, prayed and sang hymns, leading to a divine intervention that freed them. Fearing that the prisoners had escaped, the jailer almost took his life, but Paul stopped him. Realising God's amazing power in the life of Paul and Silas, the jailer sought salvation and accepted Christ. He brought them to his home, where his entire family was saved. This story is an encouragement for those who have found salvation; do not hesitate to share the same with their family members. Are you living a changed life? Unfortunately, some parents caution their children against the consequences of drunkenness and sexual immorality, yet they are equally guilty. Christian parents must be different, setting an example for their children to follow Christ.

REFLECTION:
Have you presented Christ to your family members?

PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, today I present my family members to you. Amen.

SUNDAY 20TH SEPTEMBER, 2026.

SUB-THEME: THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD.

TOPIC: SALVATION FOR THE FAMILY.

TEXT: LUKE 19:1-10.

1. Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.
2. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy.
3. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd.
4. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.
5. When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.”
6. So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
7. All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”
8. But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”
9. Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.
10. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

TOPIC: SALVATION FOR THE FAMILY.

MESSAGE:
Zacchaeus desired to meet Jesus, so he did all he could. Behold, Jesus opted to be his guest. When he encountered God's grace, Zacchaeus openly declared his sins and was willing to amend his ways and make restitution. His salvation affected his entire family. Parents who have experienced Christ's saving grace should also show concern for the salvation of their family members and neighbours. Have you encountered Christ in your life, and what impact has that made on your family? If not, like Zacchaeus, seek Jesus and be a channel of salvation in your family. When you encounter Christ, do not withhold what belongs to others because you are a changed person.

REFLECTION:
Let your salvation speak.

PRAYER:
Lord, help me to be a channel of salvation to others. Amen.

SATURDAY 19TH SEPTEMBER, 2026.

SUB-THEME: THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD.

TOPIC: OBEDIENCE AND HONOUR II.

TEXT: EPHESIANS 6:5-9.

5. Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.
6. Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.
7. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people,
8. because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.
9. And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.

TOPIC: OBEDIENCE AND HONOUR II.

MESSAGE:
Today's passage emphasises obedience, integrity and faithfulness in the household. House helps and all members of the household should perform their duties sincerely, as unto the Lord, whether supervised or not, knowing that God watches and rewards faithfulness. Masters and mistresses must treat those under their care with kindness, compassion and respect, recognising that leadership is a privilege granted by God. In the household, members should not mistreat, neglect or abuse one another but should fulfil their responsibilities faithfully because God will judge everyone according to their work.
How faithful are you in dispensing your responsibility?
Remember, God desires you to act righteously because you are accountable to Him.

REFLECTION:
Honour each other.

PRAYER:
Father, help me to be honourable in all I do. Amen.

FRIDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER, 2026.

SUB-THEME: THE FAMILY AND THE GRACE OF GOD.

TEXT: EPHESIANS 6:1-3.

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is the right thing to do.
Col 3:20 [1Ti 5:4]

2 “Honor your father and mother…” (This is a very important commandment with a promise.)
Exo 20:12 Deu 5:16 Deu 27:16 Mat 15:4 Mar 7:10 [Luk 18:20]

3 “…so that it may go well for you, and that you may have a long life on the earth.”

TOPIC: OBEDIENCE AND HONOUR.

Obedience means doing as told, while honour involves respect and love. The scripture instructs children to obey and honour their parents. Christ set an example by obeying His earthly parents (Lk. 2:51). Honouring parents include being respectful, carrying out their instructions, providing for their needs, such as clothing, housing, and medical care, and also associating closely with them in their old age. Doing these things will lighten their burdens and strengthen them to be hopeful in their old age, knowing that their legacies have been upheld. Children who obey their parents will enjoy a long life and receive favour from the Lord. Are you on good terms with your parents? If things are not going well due to disobedience, then repentance is required for a better living.

REFLECTION:
Obedience attracts blessings.

PRAYER:
Lord, help me to be obedient in Jesus' name. Amen.
