Title: Generous Giving.

-
Scripture Focus:   "Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days." — Ecclesiastes 11:1 (ESV)   Devotion: Generosity often feels risky. When we give—whether it’s our time, resources, or kindness—we don’t always see immediate results. Yet Scripture reminds us that sowing into others’ lives is never wasted. Just as bread cast upon the waters eventually returns, so too will our acts of generosity bring fruit in God’s timing.      Jesus Himself taught this principle: “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap” (Luke 6:38). The promise is clear—our giving multiplies, not because of human effort, but because of God’s faithfulness.      Paul echoes this truth in Galatians 6:9: “Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” Generous living requires patience and trust. The harvest ma...

Title: The Power of Testimonies.

-
Scripture focus: And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD. For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:  1 Samuel 1:26-27 KJV  A testimony is more than just a story — it is a declaration of God’s faithfulness, a witness to His power, and a reminder that He is still at work in our lives today. When we share testimonies, we strengthen our faith and encourage others to trust God for their own breakthroughs.     A testimony is a statement of facts about what God has done. It could be an answer to prayer, a healing, provision, or deliverance. The Bible says:  “They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony” (Revelation 12:11).   - Testimonies are weapons of victory — they silence the enemy and magnify God’s glory.   Biblical Examples of Testimonies:  - Hannah: She prayed for a child, an...

Title: When to and How to Pray.

-
Scripture focus: The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16 KJV  Prayer is the lifeline of the believer — it is how we commune with God, draw strength, and align our hearts with His will. James 5:16 reminds us: “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” This means prayer is not just a ritual, but a powerful force that brings divine intervention. When to Pray:  - Always: “Pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Prayer should be woven into every moment of our lives — in joy, sorrow, work, and rest.   - In times of trouble: Psalm 50:15 says, “Call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.”   - In thanksgiving: Philippians 4:6 teaches us to bring our requests with thanksgiving, acknowledging God’s goodness.   - Morning and night: David declared, “Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice” (Psalm 55:17). ...

Title: Does God Answer Prayers? Is There Any Need to Pray?

-
1. Does God Answer Prayers? Yes, God answers prayers. Scripture is filled with promises that God hears and responds to His children:   - Jeremiah 33:3 — “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”   - Matthew 7:7 — Jesus assures us: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”   - 1 John 5:14-15 — We are told that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.      God’s answers may come as “Yes,” “No,” or “Wait,” but His response is always rooted in His wisdom and love. Prayer is not about bending God’s will to ours, but aligning our hearts with His perfect plan. 2. Is There Any Need to Pray? Absolutely. Prayer is essential for a believer’s life.   - Philippians 4:6 — “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”   -...

Title: The First Thing to Do!

-
Scripture Focus:   "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." — Matthew 6:33 (KJV) Devotion: Life often tempts us to chase after wealth, possessions, and fleeting pleasures. Yet Jesus reminds us that the first thing to do is not to pursue the world, but to pursue God. The kingdom of God is eternal, while riches and fame fade like morning dew.      When we put God first, everything else falls into its rightful place. Seeking His righteousness means aligning our lives with His will, walking in holiness, and trusting His provision.   We seek God first because of following reasons: - God’s Kingdom is everlasting (Daniel 2:44). Unlike earthly kingdoms, it cannot be shaken.   - Righteousness is the foundation of His throne (Psalm 97:2). To seek righteousness is to desire His purity and truth.   - Worldly wealth fades away (Proverbs 23:5). Riches sprout wings and fly off, bu...

Title: Rescue Yourself from Your Natural Man.

-
Scripture Focus: “For the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him…” (1 Corinthians 2:14) KJV. Devotion: The “natural man” represents our fallen nature — the part of us that is drawn to sin, selfishness, and rebellion against God. Left unchecked, it leads us deeper into darkness, away from the life Jesus offers. To “rescue yourself” from this state means recognizing that the natural man cannot save itself. It must be surrendered.      Evil often disguises itself as pleasure, convenience, or freedom. Yet its end is destruction. Scripture urges us to “flee youthful lusts” (2 Timothy 2:22) and “resist the devil” (James 4:7). Running away from evil is not cowardice — it is wisdom. It is choosing life over death, light over darkness.      Rescue is not found in our strength but in Christ. Jesus is the only one who can transform the natural man into a spiritual man. He invites us: “Come unto me, all ye...

Title: In a Time Like This, Praise God!

-
Scripture focus: Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.  Habakkuk 3:17-18  KJV. Devotion: Life today feels heavy — insecurity grips nations, financial struggles weigh families down, unbelief spreads like wildfire, love grows cold, divorce rises, and betrayal seems common. Yet, in a time like this, the call of Scripture is clear: PRAISE GOD! Praise in the Midst of Trouble: The psalmist declares: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear…” (Psalm 46:1–2). Even when the earth shakes and society crumbles, our response must be worship. Praise is not denial of reality; it is defiance against despair. It is choosing to magnify God above the chaos. When Darkness Increases: J...
