Numbers 6:26  The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. Devotion: Numbers 6:26 is part of the "Priestly Blessing", a sacred prayer that God instructed Moses to teach Aaron and his sons to bless the Israelites. This blessing is found in Numbers 6:22-27 and was given during the Israelites' journey through the wilderness after their liberation from Egypt. It was a time of uncertainty and challenges, and this blessing served as a powerful reminder of God's presence, favor, and peace with those who trust Him.   The phrase "The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace" signifies God's attention and favor toward His people. In biblical terms, God's "countenance" refers to His face or presence. When God lifts His countenance, it symbolizes His approval, grace, and peace being bestowed upon the individual. In the Bible are several incidents of God's blessings on His people. You too can receive such bless...

John 13:34  A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. Devotion: This is the concluding part of yesterday's discussion.    Friendship plays a significant role in a believer's spiritual growth, as it provides a supportive and enriching environment for faith to flourish. Here’s how:  1. Encouragement and Accountability-    - True friends in Christ encourage one another to live according to God’s will. They lovingly challenge and correct when one strays from the path.    - Proverbs 27:17 - "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."  2. Spiritual Guidance:    - Godly friends can offer wisdom, share scripture, and provide counsel during challenging times, helping one discern God’s direction.    - Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 - "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other u...

1 Samuel 18:1  And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. (Read 1 Samuel 18: 1-3) Devotion: Friendship is a gift that reflects God's love and design for human connection. While blood relationships are significant, there are friendships that transcend the bonds of kinship, rooted in spiritual purpose and deep mutual affection. Such friendships often mirror the relationship God desires to have with us and teach us the value of love, loyalty, and selflessness.    Biblical Examples of Friendship   1. David and Jonathan     The friendship between David and Jonathan is one of the most powerful examples in the Bible. Despite Jonathan being Saul’s son and heir to the throne, he recognized God's plan for David and supported him wholeheartedly. Their bond was marked by selflessness, loyalty, and covenant.      ...

Trusting in God is one of the core principles of faith. It implies placing unwavering confidence in His plans, wisdom, and timing, even when circumstances seem uncertain or challenging. Those who trust in God find that He never disappoints. While humans may fail, God remains steadfast and faithful, fulfilling His promises and providing in ways that exceed expectations. The Bible provides numerous stories and verses that illustrate the truth of this principle. Take the story of Abraham, for example. In Genesis 12, God called Abraham to leave his country, family, and home to journey to an unknown land that He would show him. Despite the uncertainties, Abraham trusted God. Later, in Genesis 22, Abraham displayed profound trust when he prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac, believing that God’s plan was perfect and His promises would hold true. God intervened, providing a ram for the sacrifice instead. This story emphasizes that those who trust in God, even in moments of great trial, will no...

Psalms 20:1-9 is a powerful prayer and declaration of trust in God's protection and provision. Let’s explore its meaning and use it as a prayer guidance  Discussion of the Verses 1. God’s Defense in Trouble(Verses 1-2): These verses highlight God as our defender and source of help. It is a call for God to hear our cries in times of trouble, sending aid from His sanctuary and strength from Zion. It reminds us that our help comes from the Lord, who is always present and powerful. 2. Acknowledgment of Sacrifices(Verse 3): Here, the psalmist asks God to remember and accept the offerings and sacrifices made in faith. It reflects a heart of worship and dedication to God, acknowledging Him as the provider and sustainer. 3. Fulfillment of Heart’s Desires (Verse 4): This verse is a prayer for God to grant the desires of the heart and fulfill counsel aligned with His purpose. It emphasizes God’s active involvement in shaping our plans and destinies. 4. Rejoicing in Salvation(Verse 5): There ...

Psalms 91:15 KJV "He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him." Devotion: In the midst of trouble, where do you turn? Psalm 91:15 reminds us that we can call upon God, and He promises to answer. He will be with us in our struggles, deliver us from harm, and even honor us.   This verse is not just a promise, but a reminder of God's character. He is a God who listens, who cares, and who acts on our behalf.   As you face challenges today, remember that you are not alone. Call upon God, and trust in His promise to answer, deliver, and honor you. Reflection Questions: - What troubles are you facing today? - How can you call upon God in the midst of these challenges? - What does it mean to you that God promises to honor you?  Prayer: Dear God, I thank you for your promise to answer me when I call. Help me to trust in your deliverance and to seek your presence in the midst of trouble. May I honor you with my lif...

Psalms 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. Devotion: To appreciate is to acknowledge the goodness and blessings we receive, whether from God or others. It's an act of humility and gratitude that aligns us with God's will and fosters a spirit of thankfulness.   The Bible is rich with encouragement about appreciation and gratitude. "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever" (Psalm 107:1). This verse reminds us that our gratitude should spring from the recognition of God's enduring goodness and love.    When we express appreciation to God, we honor Him and acknowledge His sovereignty over our lives. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 encourages us, "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." Even in challenging times, gratitude helps us focus on God's faithfulness rather than our struggles.   Appreciation also deepens ...

Good Evening, My Dear Readers, I bless the name of the Lord for His goodness and mercy that we enjoy daily. Truly, He alone is the secret behind our success so far. I give God thanks for His wisdom, understanding, and the spirit of discernment that He has bestowed upon us. By His grace, I have been given the privilege to write and share His Word with you daily. It is a joy to be a vessel in spreading His truth and love. I humbly invite your feedback on the messages I have sent. I would love to hear how you feel about them, how you understand and apply them in your life, and how the devotional has impacted you. Your testimonies and concerns matter greatly to me, as they help us grow together in faith. Thank you for being a part of this journey, and may God continue to bless you richly. Warm regards,   Elder, Dr Joel Olanrewaju. MD, FWACP(FM)

Proverbs 25:28  He that hath no rule (control) over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. Devotion: Life often throws us into situations where the winds of uncertainty and waves of chaos seem unrelenting. In such moments, the call to "be in control" is not about wielding power over every circumstance, but about anchoring ourselves in God's truth and His guidance. It is about surrendering control to the One who has ultimate authority, while stewarding the responsibilities we are entrusted with.   In Proverbs 25:28, we are reminded, "A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls." Self-control is not just a virtue but a safeguard for our hearts and minds. Without it, we are vulnerable to being swayed by emotions, temptations, and external pressures. The walls of self-control protect us, allowing us to navigate challenges with wisdom and grace.   The Bible also teaches us in 2 Timothy 1:7, "For the Spirit G...

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...

Matthew 12:44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. (Read Matthew 12:43-45) Devotion: A "blank mind" could refer to a state of emptiness or a lack of focus, purpose, or spiritual guidance. Scripture often emphasizes the importance of filling our minds with God's truth and allowing His Word to guide our thoughts and actions.  1. The Danger of an Empty Mind The Bible warns against an idle or empty mind, as it can become a target for negative influences. Jesus speaks of this in Matthew 12:43-45, where He describes an unclean spirit leaving a person, only to return and find the "house" empty, swept, and put in order. The spirit then brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself. This illustrates the importance of filling our minds with godly thoughts and the presence of the Holy Spirit.  2. Renewing the Mind The Bible encourages believers to renew their minds through t...

Isaiah 26:20 KJV Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. Devotion: Isaiah 26:20 invites us into a sacred pause—a moment to step away from the chaos of life and find solace in God's presence. The verse is a gentle reminder that there are seasons when the world seems turbulent and uncertain, when trials and challenges threaten to overwhelm us. Yet, in these moments, God calls us to withdraw, not out of fear, but to seek refuge in His peace.  "Come, my people," He says—an invitation, personal and tender, extended to each of us. It is as though He is saying, "You are mine, and I care deeply for you. Let me shelter you." The chambers symbolize the spiritual sanctuary that God provides. They represent a place where the noise of the world fades, and the voice of God becomes clearer.   This idea of seeking refuge in God resonates with Psalm 91:1-2, which...

Isaiah 26:3 KJV "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." Devotion: A troubled mind can feel like a storm-tossed sea—restless, chaotic, and overwhelmed by the waves of uncertainty, pain, or fear. It steals peace and replaces it with unease, keeping us awake in the still of night and distracted in the noise of the day. Yet, within the Scriptures lies a powerful antidote—a pathway to restoring peace and calm to the soul.   From a biblical spiritual perspective, the root of a troubled mind often lies in our disconnection from God, the source of true peace. The Bible reminds us in Isaiah 26:3, "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you." Trusting in God's sovereignty and goodness anchors our hearts, providing stability amidst life's challenges.    Jesus, in His earthly ministry, spoke directly to troubled hearts. In John 14:27, He said, "Peace I leave wit...

2 Corinthians 5:17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Devotion:  While the Bible doesn't explicitly mention eggs as a spiritual symbol, we can explore some interesting connections and allegories related to eggs, salvation, and spiritual growth.   The Egg as a Symbol of New Life: In many cultures, eggs represent new life, renewal, and fertility. This symbolism aligns with the biblical theme of spiritual rebirth and salvation. Just as an egg contains the potential for new life, Jesus Christ offers humanity the gift of new life through salvation (John 3:16, 2 Corinthians 5:17).  The Shell, the Membrane, and Spiritual Protection: The eggshell and membrane can be seen as symbols of spiritual protection. Just as the shell safeguards the delicate life within, God's protection and care envelop believers, shielding them from spiritual harm (Psalm 91:4, Proverbs 18:10).   The Process of ...

1 Samuel 16:13  Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. 2 Samuel 5:3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David king over Israel. (David waited 15 years before he ascended the throne) Devotion: Waiting without end—a poignant theme resonating with biblical narratives, echoing both the struggles of faith and the triumphs of perseverance. From the scriptures, we see the tale of Abraham, who waited decades for the fulfillment of God’s promise of a son. As years turned into decades, his faith was tested in the crucible of time. Yet, in this prolonged waiting, there arose a deeper trust, a profound dependence on the divine timing. Abraham’s story whispers to the restless heart: that God’s promises are sure, though the wait may stretch beyond h...

 "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." – Psalm 46:1 (KJV) Devotion: Life often brings us to seasons of uncertainty, trial, and loss, when the weight of the world feels unbearable. In such moments, we may ask, *Where is God?* or *How can I endure this storm?* Yet, the Word of God reminds us that He is not distant or indifferent to our struggles—He is near, actively working, and faithful to His promises. The Story of Elijah   The story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19 is a profound reminder of God’s care during difficult times. After his incredible victory on Mount Carmel, Elijah fled into the wilderness, overwhelmed by fear and exhaustion. He felt isolated and hopeless, crying out to God, "It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life" (1 Kings 19:4).   But God did not rebuke Elijah. Instead, He tenderly ministered to his needs. An angel brought him food and water and let him rest. Then, in a still small voice, God reassured Elijah of His presence a...

James 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. Devotion: Wisdom is a vital component of maturity, one that transcends age and knowledge. It's the ability to apply our understanding to everyday choices and situations, making wise decisions that honor God. Seeking Wisdom from God:  In James 1:1-5, James, the brother of Jesus, emphasizes the importance of seeking wisdom from God. He encourages us to ask God for wisdom, promising that God will generously provide it to anyone who asks (James 1:5). Growing in Spiritual Wisdom: Spiritual wisdom grows as we apply our knowledge of God, the world, and ourselves to make right decisions about how we should act, live, and talk as Christians. As we deepen our relationship with God, we gain wisdom and the knowledge necessary to live abundant lives that honor Him (Proverbs 9:10). Cultivating Wisdom in Our Lives: So, how can we cultivate wisdom in our l...

Please read….✍️🍀 Every Man irrespective of who they are must read the book by a German writer Esther Villar In her book "The Manipulated Man"  This book has caused outrage and *hostile criticism* from women, it explains how women since the earliest times have manipulated men and turned them into their slaves, they have *pretended* to be the oppressed s.£¥ while in the real sense they are the oppressors.  She explains how a woman manipulates a man skillfully by steps like *courtship* and finally *marriage* , hence the saying “ *a man chases a woman until SHE catches him”* . In her book she explains how the man is *tricked* to care for the woman all his life and her offspring.  He rolls the stone like *Sisyphus* and in turn gets rewarded by a few minutes of s£xual pleasure.  We can, by observing Esther Villars assertions that a man is a slave of his desires and the woman uses and has used it for thousands of years as a stick and carrot to keep the man chasing vanity a...

"A trustworthy person keeps a confidence, but a gossip betrays a trust." Proverbs 11:13. KJV  Devotion: In a world where trust is often broken, God's Word reminds us of the importance of being trustworthy. As Christians, we are called to be reflections of God's character, and trustworthiness is a fundamental aspect of that.   In the book of Genesis, we find the story of Joseph, a man who exemplified trustworthiness. Despite being betrayed by his brothers and sold into slavery, Joseph remained faithful and trustworthy in his duties as a servant and later as a leader in Egypt (Genesis 39:1-6, 41:37-43). His trustworthiness ultimately led to his promotion and the salvation of his family.   In the New Testament, Jesus teaches us about the importance of being trustworthy in the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30). The master entrusts his servants with talents, expecting them to be faithful and multiply what they have been given. The servants who prove trustworthy are...

Genesis 3:8-10  And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. Devotion : The childhood game of "hide and seek" might evoke memories of playful laughter and clever hiding spots. Yet, this simple game can mirror profound truths about our spiritual lives—times when we feel hidden from God or seek Him desperately. The Bible is replete with stories and verses that reflect this dynamic of hiding and seeking, demonstrating God’s grace and faithfulness as we navigate these moments. The Bible has several stories of people who his themselves es from God and others who sought God and found God.   The Adam and Eve story is one of the most important, it is in (Genesis 3:8-10) ...

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10  Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Devotion: The Bible may not explicitly pronounce a curse on those living alone, but it undoubtedly highlights the importance of companionship and community. From the earliest days of creation, God emphasized the need for human connection. In Genesis 2:18, He declared, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." This statement underscores the value of relationships in our lives. The benefits of companionship are further illustrated in Ecclesiastes 4:9-12. This passage notes that having someone by our side can bring practical and emotional benefits. When we face challenges, a companion can offer support and help us back on our feet. Conversely, those without someone to turn to are often left to face their struggl...

 "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."1 John 4:8 (NIV) Devotion: To walk in love is to walk in God’s very essence, for "God is love". This truth is foundational to our faith and how we live as His children. Love is not merely a feeling or an action—it's the very nature of God Himself. When we walk in love, we carry His presence with us wherever we go.   In 1 Corinthians 13:4–7, Paul beautifully defines love: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." As we meditate on this passage, we understand that walking in love requires a conscious decision to reflect these qualities in our daily lives.    Jesus, our ultimate example, demonstrated perfect love. Jo...

"And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise."Luke 6:31. Devotion: The Golden Rule, as stated in Luke 6:31, is a powerful call to action that transcends cultures and belief systems. It serves as a divine principle for building relationships based on love, kindness, and mutual respect. Imagine a world where every individual lived by this standard—a world filled with harmony and the absence of strife.   We all have an innate desire to be loved, respected, and treated with kindness. However, this verse reminds us that instead of solely expecting these virtues from others, we must take the lead by exemplifying them in our own actions. Our lives are a constant cycle of sowing and reaping. Galatians 6:7 aptly states, "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." This serves as a reminder to sow seeds of goodness, for they will undoubtedly return to us in due season.   Jesus emphasizes this same princ...

 Philippians 4:9 (NIV)  “Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”   Devotion: Several years ago, I observed that one of my sons deeply admired me to the extent that he mimicked nearly everything I did—my manner of speaking, walking, ministering in church, and more. I am grateful to God that what he saw me doing were godly acts, not sinful behaviors like stealing, drinking, or other harmful ways. Today, he proclaims God’s word effortlessly and strives to live fully for Christ.   Similarly, Apostle Paul, during his ministry with the Philippians before his Roman confinement, confidently encouraged them to follow his example. His Christ-centered life allowed him to urge the brethren in Philippi to imitate him, which essentially meant imitating Christ.   In Antioch, believers who modeled their lives after Christ were recognized and called “Christians” (little Christs). Mor...

Psalms 32:8  I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. In the verse above, God promises to instruct and teach us in the way we should go, guiding us with His eye. This promise stands eternal for those who trust Him. Yet, many of us find ourselves complaining about various aspects of our lives – our spouses, jobs, children, and more.   The question remains: did we involve God in our decisions before making a move? How can we expect Him to intervene in situations He wasn't consulted about from the start? Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us to "trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."   Fortunately, no hope is lost. Just like the prodigal son, we can return to our Father God, humble ourselves, and let Him into our affairs (Luke 15:11-32). In 1 John 1:9, we're assured that "if we confess our sins, He is faithful ...

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." James 1:5 KJV Devotion: As we navigate life's challenges, we often face uncertainty, confusion, and overwhelming situations that leave us feeling helpless. We are confronted with complicated circumstances that demand wise decision-making, and we constantly struggle with the need for wisdom.   James reminds us that the ultimate solution to our dilemmas is to ask God, the source of all wisdom (Proverbs 2:6). When we ask, He generously provides, never withholding anything good from us (Psalm 84:11).   To God, no problem is too trivial or too complex. He is always willing to help and guide us, so we should never hesitate to ask for His wisdom (Matthew 7:7-8).   Our God is generous, eager to grant our requests and fill us with the wisdom we need (1 Corinthians 1:30). We don't have to worry about whether God will help us or if we are deserving of...

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13‬:‭8‬ ‭NLT Devotion: In an ever-changing, always-moving, constantly-shifting world, we can count on the unchanging nature of God. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, the author of Hebrews said it like this: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13‬:‭8‬ ‭NLT   A title for the three distinct parts, or “Persons,” of God is the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And the Son—Jesus Christ—is the purest reflection of the Father, who never changes.   When you unpack the stunning mystery that is God made flesh in the Person of Jesus Christ, you’ll notice that He said audacious things like: “I and the Father are one,” (John 10:30) “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father,” (John 14:9) and, “Now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.” (John‬ ‭17‬:‭5‬)    John described Jesus as the Word: “In the beginning was the Word, and t...

Genesis 12:2-3  KJV And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Devotion: Each day, we have an opportunity to tap into the blessings that God bestowed upon Abraham. The promise made to Abraham thousands of years ago holds true for us today, as spiritual descendants of this great patriarch. Through faith, we can claim these blessings as our own, walking in the footsteps of faith and obedience that Abraham so faithfully demonstrated.   Imagine waking up each morning with the certainty that you are a recipient of divine favor, guidance, and provision. Just as Abraham was blessed with prosperity, protection, and a multitude of descendants (Genesis 12:2-3), we too can expect God’s abundant blessings in our lives. This promise is not limited to material wealth, but encompasses peace, ...

Galatians 3:13 KJV  Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Devotion: In the tapestry of human existence, the threads of generational curses can weave a pattern of recurring struggles, pain, and heartache. These curses, often stemming from ancestral transgressions, can manifest in various forms, such as chronic illnesses, financial hardships, and broken relationships. However, amidst this seemingly unending cycle of despair, there shines a beacon of hope and redemption: the liberating power of Christ. The Bible tells us in Galatians 3:13, "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: 'Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.'" Through His sacrificial death on the cross, Jesus took upon Himself the weight of our sins and the curses that came with them. In doing so, He broke the chains that bound us to our past and set us f...
