"But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen."
2 PETER 3:18

Read:
MATTHEW 13:5-6, 20-21

5. Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

6. And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

20. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

21. Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

Bible In One Year
JOB 31-34

Message

The Second Kind of Soil Jesus Described in HIS Parable about the Sower is 'Stony Places.'

This Soil type can be Compared to People who Receive the WORD of God with Joy But Turn their Backs on it when they begin to encounter tough situations in their lives as a Result of Persecution.

Remember the word that I said unto you, the servant is not greater than his lord.
IF they have Persecuted me, they will also persecute you... JOHN 15:20

In the Scripture above, Jesus said that HIS Followers will be Persecuted as HE was also Persecuted. Furthermore, Paul told Timothy in 2 TIMOTHY 3:12 that every true follower of Christ will experience persecution in one form or another.
Being persecuted is a painful experience, and believers are not immune to it.
In fact, going through the fires of persecution helps Christians to grow in Faith.
(1 Peter 1:6-7, James 1:2-3). Despite this, however, the-devil manages to convince some believers that the pain they are experiencing as a result of persecution is proof that God is unfaithful and that HE does not love them.
The devil succeeds in doing this because such Christians have not grown in the knowledge of God through HIS WORD and are largely ignorant of HIS Ways, Character, and POWER.
Thus, their Foundation in Faith is very weak, and they are easily Swayed by the-devil.

It's Good to Hear the WORD of God and even be Excited by it.
Beyond that, however, every Believer has the Responsibility to build themselves up spiritually (1 Corinthians 3:9-1 0), and one of the ways to do this is by increasing their knowledge of God through His word. There is a popular saying that ignorance is bliss, but this is not true for a believer. Being in a state of ignorance about the word of God and making no efforts to build yourself up spiritually is very dangerous because it can lead to destruction.
(Hosea 4:6).

Beloved, do Not allow yourself to fall victim to the Wiles of the devil and be destroyed by him.
Don't just listen to the word of God from various ministers and get excited by it or be a believer who only Opens the Bible on Sundays.
Rather, be like the Bereans who took Responsibility for knowing God by themselves.
(Acts 17:10-11).

I PRAY that as you Sow the Seeds of the WORD of God Daily into your heart, you will Reap Bountiful Fruits of HIS GOODNESS and MERCY, in Jesus' Name.

Action Point
Growing in the KNOWLEDGE Of God through HIS WORD is Important for Every BELIEVER.

Hymn-4:
TO THE WORK, TO THE WORK

1. To the work! to the work! we are servants of God,
Let us follow the path that our Master has trod;
With the balm of His counsel our strength to renew,
Let us do with our might what our hands find to do.

Refrain:
Toiling on, toiling on,
Toiling on, toiling on:
Let us hope, let us watch,
And labor till the Master comes.

2. To the work! to the work! let the hungry be fed;
To the fountain of life let the weary be led;
In the cross and its banner our glory shall be,
While we herald the tidings, "Salvation is free!"

3. To the work! to the work! there is labor for all;
For the kingdom of darkness and error shall fall;
And the name of Jehovah exalted shall be,
In the loud-swelling chorus, "Salvation is free!"

4. To the work! to the work! in the strength of the Lord,
And a robe and a crown shall our labor reward;
When the home of the faithful our dwelling shall be,
And we shout with the ransomed, "Salvation is free!"

"As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God."
PSALM 42:1

Read:
MATTHEW 13:3-4,19

3. And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

4. And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

19. When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

Bible In One Year
JOB 25-30

Message

The First Type of Soil that Jesus mentioned in the Parable of the Sower is 'The Way Side', as we see in today's Bible Reading.

This Soil Type Refers to People who Hear God's WORD but do Not understand it or Act upon it.
This category of people do Not Study their Bibles, and even when they do, they don't ask their Pastors or Bible Study Teachers any questions.
They Never seek to understand God's WORD; they Only Hear HIS WORD and move on with their lives.
Many of the People in this Category are Ceremonial Churchgoers; they are often raised in Christian homes, so it is normal for them to attend church on Sundays.
I was once this type of Christian.
I thought that my father, being a church volunteer, and my name being Enoch, was proof that I was a child of God.
I heard God's word several times, but I Never studied it.
I THANK God that HE gave Me a New Heart when I Surrendered My life to Jesus Christ.

Beloved, are you the Same Way I was?

Are you only reading this devotional because it is the norm in your church, family, or office to do so?

Do you ever dig deeper to understand what is discussed?

When you Study your Bible, do you get bored after Reading the Second or third Verse?

IF you Answered "Yes" to these questions, you need to Ask God for a New Heart; a heart that yearns to know HIM More.
Ask God to give you a heart that Finds HIS WORD Interesting and Loves to Spend time in HIS PRESENCE.
Most importantly, ensure that you take some time Every Day to Study your Bible.
You can start by reading a bit further on the topics discussed in this Devotional Each Day, or using the Bible-In-One-Year Passages.
You may not understand much when you begin doing these things, but as you remain consistent and ask God to HELP you, The Holy Spirit will Start Explaining the Scriptures to you, and soon, your heart will begin to Soak in God's WORD and yield Great Fruit.

The best thing you can do for yourself is to seek to UNDERSTAND God's WORD More Each Day.
When you make this your Priority, you will begin to Experience HIS PEACE and FAVOR in Ways you have Never Done Before.

I PRAY that your life will indeed be a Bountiful Harvest of God's Goodness, in Jesus' Name.

Prayer Point:
FATHER, Please give Me a Heart that Yearns For YOUR WORD More than Anything Else.

A BRAND-NEW HEART, part-1

Memorize:

"Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you."
HOSEA 10:12

Read:
EZEKIEL 36:25-30

25. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

26. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

27. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

28. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

29. I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.

30. And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.

Bible In One Year
JOB 21 - 24

Message:

According to (2 Corinthians 5:17), when a fellow becomes Born Again, He Or She Immediately Becomes a New Creature.

In EZEKIEL 36:26, God said that HE will Take Away our stony heart and Replace it with a Heart of Flesh.
When people give their lives to Jesus Christ, they Exchange their stony hearts for Hearts of Flesh. However, despite this, the world is plagued with many people who claim to be believers, but whose hearts appear not to be different from those of Unbelievers.

Sadly, some people who serve as Ministers of God also still appear to have hearts like Unbelievers. Some of them go as far as Not Forgiving Fellow Ministers who have Offended them.
This is Wrong, and it was Not So at the Inception of the Church.
The Bible says that the Church was in ONE Accord (Acts 1:14), and Believers were Called Christians Because they were Christ-like.
(Acts 11:26).

Unfortunately, however, you might find some Self-Professing Christians today Accepting Bribes or Dancing in Nightclubs because they still have Stony Hearts.

From the Parable of the Sower in MATTHEW 13:1-23, it is Very Clear that there was Nothing wrong with the Seeds that were Sown.
The Seeds, which Jesus revealed to be the WORD of God, were Potent, as God's WORD is Always Potent.
However, despite the Potency of the Seeds, Only a Fraction of them yielded a Harvest.
The Reason some of the Seeds did Not bear Fruit was the Ground on which they fell, and as Jesus Explained, the Heart of a Fellow in which the WORD of God is Sown is the Major Determinant of whether the WORD will Bear Fruit in His or Her Life or Not.

Beloved, IF you are living in sin, or IF you Allow the Circumstances Around you to Determine how you Receive the WORD Of God and How it will Operate in you, then you have a Stony Heart, and God's WORD will Not Bear Fruit in you.
For HIS WORD to Bear Fruit in you, you MUST REPENT of Any Sin that Might Exist in your life and Cry Out to HIM to WASH you Clean, Transform you, and give you a Heart of Flesh.
God will Answer you and Make your Heart a Fertile Ground for HIS wo6rd to Grow.

I PRAY that you will Continually Experience the Blessings in God's WORD as you Surrender your life Completely to HIM, in Jesus' Name.

Prayer Point:
FATHER, Please Give Me a Heart of Flesh and Let YOUR WORD Bear Fruit in Me.

Hymn-7:
I AM THINE O LORD

1. I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
and it told Thy love to me;
but I long to rise in the arms of faith,
and be closer drawn to Thee.

REFRAIN
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
to the cross where Thou hast died;

there are heights of joy that I may not reach
till I rest in peace with Thee. [Refrain]

7.
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Bible In One Year;
JOB 17-20

Message:

A Man Once Swallowed a charm that was supposed to make him wealthy, but he remained poor.

On top of that, he was told that he would die after seven years because of the charm he had swallowed. When he had just about two weeks left to live and was already staring death in its face, he ran to the RCCG. When he told us his ordeal, we told him that Our God is the Great Deliverer.
He gave his life to Christ, and when we said a simple Prayer for him, he vomited what he had swallowed.
He Remained Consistent in Church for two weeks, Rejoicing because of what the Lord had done for him.
Then, suddenly, he stopped coming.
When we went to check on him, he said, "The herbalist who made the charm for me told me that I swallowed it wrongly:"
He swallowed another one, and this time, he became very wealthy.
The herbalist told him he would live only for seven years to enjoy the wealth, and when the time was about to elapse, he suddenly had a 'brilliant idea.'
He decided to relocate to London as he felt that demons could only operate in Africa.
Sadly, however, he died on the plane.

My Father in the Lord, Pa Josiah Akindayomi, used to say, "Your FATHER will take Care of You with Whatever HE has.
IF he has evil, he will use it to take care of you, and IF he has Good, that is what you will get from Him."
The devil DOESN'T have Anything good in him; IF you go to him for anything, be sure that whatever he gives you will be evil.
Jesus, however, is the GOOD Shepherd; Whatever comes from HIM is Always GOOD.

According to today's Bible Reading, TRUSTING and Depending on God is your Access to HIS GOODNESS. Those Who TRUST in Jesus will RECEIVE the POWER to Become Sons of God.
(John 1:12).

They will have Authority Over all the power of the enemy, and NOTHING Shall by Any Means harm them.
(Luke 10:19).

NO weapon that is fashioned by the devil against them will prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and they will EAT the Good of the Land.
(Isaiah 1:19).

Beloved, do you Depend Only on the GOOD Shepherd?
Those who Depend on HIM Are like Mount Zion; Regardless of the situation around them, they CANNOT Be Shaken.
(Psalm 125:1).

DELIGHT yourself in the Lord and HE will give you the Desires of your Heart.
(Psalm 37:4).

Action Point:
DO you Depend on the GOOD Shepherd for your Needs, or do you seek Ungodly Alternatives?

Hymn-19:
ROCK OF AGES CLEFT FOR ME

1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save me from its guilt and power.

2. Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All could never sin erase,
Thou must save, and save by grace.

3. Nothing in my hands I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress,
Helpless, look to Thee for grace:
Foul, I to the fountain fly,
Wash me, Savior, or I die.

4. While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

57. Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.

58. And her neighbours and her cousins heard how The Lord had shewed Great Mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.

Bible In One Year
JOB 13-16

Message:

God is Unlimited by Time, and as Such, HE Doesn't Grow Old.

In DANIEL 7:9-10, HE is Referred to as The ANCIENT of Days.
HE Existed Before the Beginning of Time and Created Time in Itself.
As HE Doesn't age, it Means that HIS Strength Never diminishes.
ISAIAH 40:28-31 tells us that God is never tired.
A young man can wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and strong, but he will be tired by the end of the day and will need to sleep.
God, however, can never become tired. In fact, He never sleeps nor slumbers.
(Psalm 121:4).

As the Ageless God, HE is ETERNALLY NEW, and HIS Mercies are New every Morning.
(Lamentations 3:23).

By HIS Mercies, HE can Strengthen the weary, Bring seemingly dead situations back to life, and Restore lost opportunities.

In today's Bible Reading, we see The Ageless God at work in the lives of Zachariah and Elisabeth.
The couple were well stricken in years and had no hope that they could ever have a child again.
When The Ageless One stepped into their case, however, He made their old bodies become new.
Elisabeth received vitality and strength in her womb, and she became pregnant.
No matter how old a thing is, when The Ageless One steps into it, He can make it as good as new.
He did it for Sarah when He caused her womb, which was as good as dead (Romans 4:19), to bring forth a child.
If you feel like you cannot be successful because you missed an opportunity in the past, or that you are too old to be fruitful,

I PRAY in The NAME of Jesus that The Ageless One will Visit you today.
HE will give you A New Lease of Life and cause you to be Fruitful In The MIGHTY NAME of Jesus Amen

Caleb also experienced The Ageless Power of The Ageless God.
At 80 years old, his strength remained as it had been when he was 40 and was sent to spy on the land of Canaan.
An 80-year-old man asked for a mountain because his strength had been preserved.
(Joshua 14:6- 12).

Those who wait on The Lord will renew their strength, regardless of how aged they may be.
Beloved, IF there is any area in your life where you feel like your strength has been depleted or you cannot bear fruit again,

I PRAY that The Ageless God will Renew your vitality and cause you to do the impossible, In The MIGHTY NAME of Jesus Amen

Action Point
The Ageless God can Renew the age and Strength of those who WAIT on HIM, In The MIGHTY NAME of Jesus Amen

Bible In One Year
ESTHER 6 - 10

Message:

Yesterday, We Saw How Peter fell into temptation because he Couldn't keep Watch in Prayer.
(Matthew 26:40-43).

Prayerlessness is one of the Signs that a Believer is Relying on his or her Own strength.
Unlike Peter, however, David kept Watch Day and Night in the Place of Prayer.
(Psalm 55:17).

He often stayed Awake at Night, Spending time with God and Meditating on HIS WORD.
(Psalm 63:6, Psalm 119:148).

He was so aware of the limitations of his strength that on many occasions in the Bible, he enquired of the Lord to know what He wanted him to do (1 Samuel 23:1-5, 1 Samuel 30:8-9). However, in (2 Samuel 11?), where he obviously didn't enquire of the Lord but rather gave in to lust, he got into a predicament that negatively impacted his lineage.
(2 Samuel 12:9-12).

Daniel also knew the Importance of Prayer.
He knew how much he needed God in the strange land of Babylon, and the Bible tells us that he Prayed thrice daily.
(Daniel 6:10).

Even when a decree was made that nobody should pray to anyone except the king, he was too aware of the limitations of his strength that his first reaction was to open his windows and pray as usual.
His response to everything was prayer.

Prayer is So Important that the Bible urges us to Pray without Ceasing.
(1 Thessalonians 5:17).

The Moment you don't feel like praying or see the need to pray is actually the time to Pray More intently because prayerlessness can leave a believer in a weak state and cause such a believer to lose his or her spiritual vitality.
Once the devil douses a believer's spiritual fire, he can ruin him or her.
Praying Puts us in a Posture of Humility before God, where we acknowledge that We Cannot do anything Without HIM.
It keeps Our Hearts tender and reminds us of the limitations of our physical strength.
When We Cultivate a LifeStyle of Waiting on God in Prayer, we Renew Our Strength Daily (Isaiah 40:31) and Are Able to OVERCOME the devil's temptations.
(Matthew 26:41).

Beloved, how do you Respond to Life's Challenges?
Do you always try to solve them with your wisdom and strength first?
Do you only run to God when everything you've tried fails?

Do Not make God a Spare wheel in your life, Rather, HE should Always be your First Resort.
Cultivate the Habit of Praying Without Ceasing, and you will Live Victoriously All the Days of your life, in Jesus' Name.

Action Point:
When you Cultivate a LifeStyle of Prayer, you will Tap into the Lord's Strength Daily.

3. Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! May I'll from mount Pisgah's lofty height, I view my home and take my flight; this robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise to seize the ever lasting prize and shout while passing through the air, farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.

Message

In LUKE 5:1-10, Peter did Not fail because he wasn't diligent, hardworking, or skillful.
He had those characteristics, yet he failed.
However, when HELP came from God, he Succeeded. Your strength, skills, connections, and diligence are good, but IF the Lord is not supporting you, they cannot make you successful.

PSALM 127:1 says:
Except the LORD Build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

Except the Lord guides and directs a fellow in his or her decisions, his or her labour will be in vain.
Without God's support, a person will look like a fool who doesn't know how to get to the city.
(Ecclesiastes 10:15).

Some young people try to do many things because they think they have the strength to do them.
However, the Bible makes us understand that although the glory of the youth is their strength (Proverbs 20:29), they will faint and be weary and utterly fall.
(Isaiah 40:30).

This means that while the strength of the youths can help them achieve some things, it is not enough.
It can fail them at some point, but if they wait on the Almighty God, they will be able to soar like eagles.

In today's Bible reading, Peter felt he was strong enough to withstand temptations, yet he failed. His physical strength was not sufficient to sustain him in the day of adversity.
His overconfidence in himself showed when he was sleeping instead of praying.
(Matthew 26:40-43).

Believers who rely on their strength in the face of temptation will fail.
Many have fallen because they felt they were too prayerful to fall into sin.
They believed they were too wise and strong to fall into temptation, but eventually, they let their guard down.

1 CORINTHIANS 10:12,
Warns us never to think that we can stand without God's help.
People who think in such a manner eventually fall. Today's Memory Verse tells us that a person who puts his confidence in flesh is cursed.
Samson didn't fall the day Delilah called a man to cut off his hair; rather, he started falling the moment he began to trust in his strength.
The day a person stops trusting in God is the day his or her downfall begins.

I PRAY that you will NEVER Come to a Point where you feel you are strong enough to do without God, in Jesus' Name.

Action Point
Put All your TRUST in God Alone.

Hymn-8:
I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

1. I need Thee ev'ry hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.

Refrain:
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;
Ev'ry hour I need Thee;
Oh, bless me now, my Savior,
I come to Thee.

2. I need Thee ev'ry hour,
Stay Thou nearby;
Temptations lose their pow’r
When Thou art nigh.

3. I need Thee ev'ry hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.

4. I need Thee ev'ry hour,
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill.
