DAILY REFLECTION

*_SATURDAY AUGUST 15, 2026_*

*THEME: _JESUS' TEACHING ON ETERNAL LIFE_*

_TEXT: JOHN 6:35–40_
³⁵ And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
³⁶ But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
³⁷ All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
³⁸ For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
³⁹ And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
⁴⁰ And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

*MESSAGE*
It is amazing to see the rigour each animate object, whether man or any other living organism goes through on daily basis to get food to eat and meet other necessities of life. This becomes imperative to keep and sustain physical life. The problem of ‘where can I get bread or what can I eat’ has always been man's concern. For instance, we need to remind ourselves of how the Israelites, on many occasions, bombarded Moses with the same question.

Also, the problem of food was another issue Esau could not properly handle. In our world today, many are engaging in so many dubious dealings because of bread. Are we not surprised to hear Jesus Christ telling people of His day precisely in verses 26–27, “I tell you the truth, you are looking for Me, not because you saw miraculous signs but because you ate the loaves and you were filled. Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you...”

God, in His wisdom, created food for man to eat for his physical growth and total well-being. Physical food is temporal and cannot guarantee eternal life. It lacks the capacity to offer anyone the hope of everlasting life with God at the end of age. Therefore, Jesus Christ, in His conversation with His audience and, by extension, with all the readers of this devotional, makes it clear that He (JESUS) is the bread of life that comes from God with full assurance that anyone who partakes of Him will have eternal life.

Hence, as we daily crave for the physical food, so we must accept Jesus Christ into our lives for sustainability of our spiritual life which will eventually translate to eternity with Him hereafter.

*HYMN: MHB 769* _(7.7.7.7.7.7.)_
1. Bread of heaven, on Thee I feed,
For Thy flesh is meat indeed:
Ever may my souls be fed
With this true and living bread;
Day by day with strength supplied,
Through the life of Him Who died.

2. Vine of heaven, Thy blood supplies
This blest cup of sacrifice:
'Tis Thy wounds my healing give,
To Thy Cross I look and live:
Thou my life, O let me be
Rooted, grafted, built on Thee! Amen.

_MEMORY VERSE:_
John 6:35 “Then Jesus declared, “I Am the Bread of life. He who comes to Me will never go hungry, and he who believes in Me will never be thirsty.”

*PRAYER:*
Father in heaven, daily condition my heart to crave for the bread that comes from You, through Jesus, my Saviour. Amen.

METHODIST CHURCH NIGERIA DAILY REFLECTION

DATE: FRIDAY, 14TH AUGUST, 2026

THEME: THE HEALING OF THE LAME MAN

PASSAGE: ACTS 14:8–14

8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:

9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.

11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.

12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.

13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.

14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,

THE MESSAGE:
The story this cripple as captured in today's passage, reminds us that God works in mysterious ways and His way no one can fathom. A close look at the preceding verses reveals that Paul and Barnabas only fled to Lystra because people wanted to stone them at Iconium (verses 5–6). On getting to Lystra where they ran to for safety, was a cripple who had never walked with his legs since he was born.

The point of emphasis in this story is that the man in the picture was an adult. We can guess the age one would attain before we can regard him as a man. We can picture the expected responsibilities of the man, either in his immediate family or in the society at large. Unfortunately, the man was stagnated in all ramifications. His destiny, glory, aspirations, visions, dreams, thoughts, ideas, and a host of other purposes in life were all tied down! The situation was seriously precarious and disheartening. Lord have mercy!

Meanwhile, when the devil was inciting people against Paul and Barnabas at Iconium, which forced them to run to Lystra where this man was, he (devil) never knew that he was only working out God's purposes for the cripple. The Lord will do something that will put an end to your suffering.

Is your work crippled? Is your destiny tied down? Are you downcast because nothing is working again? Has your business gone bankrupt? Are you spiritually and physically dry? Are you physically, financially, emotionally, matrimonially and materially stagnated? See, God is arranging your miracle, provided you can activate faith like the cripple. It is your turn to witness an unfathomable miracle of God in Jesus Name. Amen.

MEMORY VERSE: Acts 3:6 “Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”

HYMN: MHB 538 (8.7.8.7.D) WHAT a friend we have in Jesus

1 WHAT a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged:
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness:
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

3 Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge:
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee.
Thou wilt find a solace there.

Joseph Medlicott Scriven, 1820—86.

PRAYER: In the name that is above every other name, my destiny and glory that have been tied down are hereby set at liberty evermore, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
