WHEN YOU HAVE NO STRENGTH LEFT TO PUSH

A word for when the promise is there, the time is right, but you feel too weak to birth it.

1. It's okay to admit: "This is a day of distress."
Hezekiah didn't fake faith. He called the day what it was - distress, rebuke, disgrace. God can handle your honest confession. You don't have to pretend you're strong. The fact that you're still turning to God in your distress is faith.

2. Distress doesn't mean defeat.
This was Hezekiah's worst day, but it became the day God showed up the most. The next verses, God sends ONE angel and wipes out 185,000 enemy soldiers in one night. Your day of distress is often the doorway to your day of deliverance.

3. When you have no strength to deliver, God becomes the midwife.
Hezekiah said: "The children have come to birth and there is no strength."
You may feel like: My business, my marriage, my calling is at the point of breaking through but I'm exhausted.

Hear God: What you cannot birth in your strength, I will deliver in Mine. You don't need strength to push; you need trust to pray. Hezekiah couldn't fight, but he could pray. And his prayer moved heaven.

> Your weakness is not the end of the story. It's the place where God's strength takes over.

PRAYER
_"Lord, this day feels like distress. I have come to the point of birth but I have no strength left. Today, I give this battle to You. Birth what I cannot birth. Deliver what I cannot deliver. In Jesus' name."_

EXTRACT DEVOTION FROM DAILY POWER ( Daily Devotional book )

HIS NAME IS CALLED, THE "WORD OF GOD"
Text; Revelation 19:11 - 21
26 September, 2026

A new era opens after the fall of Babylon, with the man of Victory on the white horse and his credentials - faithful, true, righteous; and description - eyes like flame of fire, the head with many crowns, for he is king of kings...

His name is given as the word if God....(John 1:1)
What picture do you see from here ??

The king who rules with justice and holiness. You get what you deserve, no favourites !! Your work speaks for you. Observe that members of the armies who follow him must also meet the standard. Theses qualities must be earned here on earth, as we saw in yesterday's reading ( check out yesterday's devotion for reference purpose on the book Daily Guide )

God will execute a massive slaughter of the ungodly at this battle of Armageddon ( Revelation 16:16). The man of war, our saviour, brings to finality the deception perpetrated by the beast ( the antichrist) and the false prophets, as they are captured and cast into eternal doom.

This is the victory of the church. How vain will be the plea of sinners that day. Today, while you hear his voice, repent and get dressed with the proper garment, awaiting Christ's return.

CLOSING PRAYER:
Thank you , Lord, for the victory you have granted me over all the devices and strategies of Satan.

MEDITATION:
Meditate on the implication and the power of the name, "The word of God", in your daily battles of life.

THEME: MAXIMIZING AND REDEEMING TIME

Key Scripture

Ephesians 5:15–16

5:15 — “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
5:16 — Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”

1. TIME IS A GIFT FROM GOD

✓ Everyone receives 24 hours a day, but not everyone uses them wisely.

✓ Time cannot be stored, borrowed, or recovered once it is gone.

God has given each of us time as an opportunity to live, grow, serve, learn and fulfil our purpose. Therefore, we should not take our time for granted.

2. UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF TIME

✓ What you do repeatedly with your time shapes your future.

✓ Small wasted moments can eventually become years of missed opportunities.

The way we spend our time reveals what we value.

3. SET YOUR PRIORITIES

✓ Put God first, then focus on responsibilities, growth, family, work, and other important commitments.

✓ Not everything deserves equal attention.

We must learn to distinguish between what is important and what is merely distracting.

4. MAKE USE OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY

✓ “Redeeming the time” means making the best use of the opportunities God gives you.

✓ Learn, serve, work, build relationships, and develop your gifts.

Every day presents opportunities to become better, help someone, learn something, strengthen our relationship with God and move closer to our purpose. We should not wait for the “perfect time” before we start making a difference.

Yesterday is gone, and tomorrow is not guaranteed. Therefore, the opportunity we have is today.

QUESTION FOR REFLECTION

“Is this helping me become who God has called me to be?”

Before spending your time on something, ask.

NORTHMEAD SECONDARY SCHOOL

We had a wonderful moment of joy and laughter at Northmead Secondary School in Lusaka as we awarded pupils with Bibles and certificates in recognition of their dedication to God’s Word.

It was inspiring to see young people being encouraged to read, study, and live by the Word of God.

Special thanks to ShareWord Global for partnering with us in distributing the Bibles and ensuring that pupils had the opportunity to receive a personal copy of God’s Word.

Together, we continue to put the Word of God into the hands and hearts of the next generation.
