The Word In Season Devotional

MONDAY - OCTOBER 05, 2026

Read: Genesis 1:1–5

TOPIC: LIGHT HAS COME – SATAN, GET LOST!
“For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.”1 John 3:8

Jesus, the Light of the world, came primarily to destroy the works of the devil. Throughout Scripture, God’s response to darkness and the activities of Satan has always been light.

When the earth was without form and void, and darkness covered the face of the deep, God simply said, “Let there be light,” and there was light (Genesis 1:3). Likewise, when people walked in darkness, blindness, and confusion, God’s appointed means of deliverance was to send His Light. “The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light” (Isaiah 9:2).

Jesus reaffirmed this truth when He declared, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12).

The testimony of Scriptures such as John 1:4–5, “And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not,” and John 10:10, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life,” all point to one unchanging truth: Satan and darkness cannot remain where the Light of Christ shines.

The beginning of the triumph of light over darkness is when a person is born again and receives Jesus Christ into his or her life. Throughout Scripture, whenever and wherever Jesus, the Light, appeared or was magnified, Satan was dislodged and his works were destroyed.

The encounter recorded in Mark 5:6–16, where Jesus confronted the man possessed by a legion of demons, clearly demonstrates that when Jesus, the Light, appears, Satan must get lost.

Prayer: Lord, as Jesus, the Light of the world, shines into my life, let every work of darkness be forcefully driven out and completely destroyed, in the mighty name of Jesus.

The Word In Season Devotional

SUNDAY - OCTOBER 04, 3026

Read: Mark 16:15–20

SATAN: THE DEFEATED FOE (2)
“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”Luke 10:19

The believer in Christ has also been given power and authority to overcome the devil, cast out demons, and destroy the works of darkness in this present life (Mark 16:17). Yesterday, today, and forever, Satan remains a defeated foe. That is his true identity in relation to God and His children.

Therefore, when confronting the devil, every believer should remember that they are dealing with an enemy who has already lost his power and authority. Approach every confrontation with a mentality of victory, not fear. Wherever the devil manifests himself, treat him as the defeated foe that he is.

Let it be firmly settled in your heart that all power belongs to Jesus Christ, and He has delegated His authority to those who believe in Him. In Christ, you are born from above, seated with Him in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power, and the Greater One lives in you (Ephesians 1:20–22; 1 John 4:4).

God has made you a king and priest to reign on the earth (Revelation 5:10). Therefore, Satan is an intruder in the territory over which God has given you authority. Everyday, keep the devil where he belongs—as a defeated foe. Continually enforce the victory Christ has won for you through your faith, your words, and your actions.

Prayer: I receive knowledge and wisdom to perpetually walk in the consciousness of the defeat of Satan and enforce that truth in every aspect of my life, in Jesus’ name.

THE WORD IN SEASON DEVOTIONAL

FRIDAY 2ND OCTOBER, 2026

Read: Luke 15:15–28

TOPIC: YOU CAN HAVE A NEW BEGINNING (2)
“I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.”Luke 15:18–19

Even though God must be trusted and believed in for a new beginning, most of the time, the person who needs to begin again must participate in the process.The following are some things that can be consciously done for a new beginning to occur:

1. Desire and see reasons for a new beginning:
Until you see why you need a new beginning, you will not pursue it (Luke 15:16–19).

2. Do not wait for a new beginning; create one:
God created a new beginning in Genesis 1:2–3, 31. You have waited long enough. Start doing something practically towards the desired new beginning.

3. Accept responsibility and be ready to pay the price:
Do not blame anyone. Your tomorrow is between you and God.

4. Involve God:
Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning God…” You cannot begin again outside God (Philippians 4:13; Psalm 127:1). Therefore, involve God in the place of prayer. Receive instructions from His Word, receive the leading of the Holy Spirit, engage your faith in God, and engage the gifts of God embedded in you.

5. Involve others where necessary:
Even God knew that it was not good for a man to be alone. Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Paul, and the disciples involved other people. Your new beginning needs the work of others.

Prayer: I ask for the wisdom of God to know what to do towards the accomplishment of my new beginning in life and godliness, in the name of Jesus.

Revelation 2; Nehemiah 3; Psalm 97

The Word In Season Devotional

Thursday 1st October, 2026

Read: Luke 15:11–28

TOPIC: YOU CAN HAVE A NEW BEGINNING (1)
“For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.”Luke 15:24

Beyond every end, there is another beginning; beyond every failure, there is success; beyond every disappointment, there is an appointment. In God, failure is not final.

God has given us several examples in the Scripture that show that we can begin again when previous efforts do not fulfill our expected desires. For instance, when the earth was created, it eventually became without form and void, yet God began His work of creation again (Genesis 1:1–3).

When the man He made fell into sin and became dead to God, He began the process of bringing forth a new creature in Christ (Genesis 3:15; 2 Corinthians 5:17). When humanity became a regret because of its sinful life, He started again with one man and his family after the flood (Genesis 6:5–8, 18).

The parable Jesus told in Luke 15:11–32, clearly shows the mind of God towards everyone who thinks he/she has fail, even when he believe the failure was his fault. Our God has given us many opportunities. He is waiting for you to take a step, beginning from your heart, to do it again.

Satan also waits at the point of decision to discourage you because he knows that if you take the decision to begin again, particularly, by believing in God, you will succeed. You have the final say on who should win in this seeming contest.

Your past is not the most important thing; your future is. Your destiny, miracle, and success are in the future.Do not give your future to fear, doubt, and satanic intimidation when you can take a step of faith in God and have a new beginning.

Prayer: Lord, I desire to begin again in the areas where I have failed in life and godliness. Please give me the courage to take the decision to have a new beginning, in Jesus’ name.

Revelation 1; Nehemiah 1-2; Psalm 96

The Word In Season Devotional

Wednesday 30th September, 2026

Read 2 Corinthians 1:17-24

TOPIC: YEA AND AMEN IN HIM
”For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory” 2 Corinthians 1:20 (ESV).

Jesus is the fulfilment of the word of God, the living Word that was made flesh and lived among men, ‘And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.’ (John 1:14).

All the promises of the Word of God can be accessed through Him and in His name, they can become our experience. Until you become born again and receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour, you are a stranger to the covenant promise of God.

‘That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.’ (Ephesians 2:12-13). Your spiritual status changes when you’re become born again, you gain access to the covenant of promise.

We enforce the fulfillment of the promises of God in our lives when we pray in the name of Jesus and come to the Father through Him.‘And whatsoever ye shall asking my name, that will I do, that the Father maybe glorified in the son. If ye ask any thing in my name, I will do it' (John 14:13-14).

Jesus took our place and is currently our intercessor before God. Any time we lay claim to the promises of God in the name of Jesus, it is the same as if Jesus the Son of God laid claims to those promises. Since God cannot refuse Jesus, He won't refuse us.

This is why you can boldly claim the Word of God in faith for your life and see it come to pass. Look through the scriptures, and find the promise that applies to your situation, lay hold on it in the name of Jesus, without doubt, and you will see it become your reality.

Prayer: I declare that all the promises that God has made to me in His Word will be fulfilled in my life, in the name of Jesus.

Tuesday 29th September, 2026

Read Isaiah 54:14-17

TOPIC: NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU SHALL PROSPER
“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.” Isaiah 54:17

We have an adversary, who is called Satan, the devil. His work is to kill, steal and destroy. He uses various agents with diverse physical and spiritual weapons against the saints.

However, God has assured us that no weapon or strategy of the devil will prosper against us who are the sons of righteousness. ‘In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.’ (Isaiah 54:14).

God has given us wisdom in His Word, to nullify every work of the devil against us:

(1) Putting on the whole armour of God, (Ephesians 6:12-13).

(2) Using the name of Jesus against the enemy in the event of any attack. (Mark 16:17-18, Proverbs 18:10).

(3) Resisting the enemy with the Word of God (James 4:7).

(4) Dwelling in Jesus, the secret place of the Most High and abiding in Him. (Psalm 91:1-16).

(5) Making sure that we live in the consciousness of His abiding presence (Romans 8:31).

The Lord our God made the devil and all the weapons the enemy can use. They’re totally subject to Him and under His control, therefore, He can stop them from functioning against us. Moreso, we have been made sons of God.

As a Father, God has the responsibility of using all He has and knows to defend and protect us as children whom He loves. We should trust His words and call on Him as our father if we face any threat of the enemy.

See what He has promised in Isaiah 41:10-11 “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.”

Prayer: Lord, in the name of Jesus, I declare my confidence in Your word. I proclaim that no weapon known or unknown, formed against me, shall prosper.

Sunday 27th September, 2026

Read John 11:37-45

TOPIC: THE COMMANDING POWER OF THE BELIEVER
“And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth” John 11:43.

To command is to give an authoritative order. As believers we are familiar with prayers and confession, but we also need to use the commanding power with authoritative declarations that God has made available.

Particularly so, in relation to the works of the devil and the circumstances of life. Jesus often exercised His commanding power to get things done. For instance, at the resurrection of Lazarus in John 11:43 “And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.”

The disciples issued a command to the lame man at the beautiful gate in Acts 3:6, “Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.”

In Mark 16:17, Jesus instructed believers “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues.” This is an instruction to ‘command’. Throughout His earthly ministry, Jesus commanded the demons as the superior being He is (Hebrews 1:4).

He neither pleaded nor begged He commanded. We should follow His example as His disciples. Our commanding power comes from the authority given to us by Jesus, through the Word, and our knowledge of our position in Christ.

The commands should be in line with the instructions of the word of God and issued in the name of Jesus. The commands should be over Satan and his cohorts, created things and the situations and circumstances of life.

We issue these commands in words and utterances, covenant acts of dominion, combined with declaratory words in obedience. "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” (2 Corinthians 10:5-6).

When you want to see a change, stand in the place of your authority in Christ, and give a command.

Prayer: I exercise my commanding power over the devil, situations and circumstances of life, from today, in Jesus’ name.
