Title: A Thankful Soul!

-

Scripture Focus:  
“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” — Psalms 100:4  

Reflection:  
There is a Yorùbá adage that says, “Ẹni tó dúpẹ́, ó gba míràn” — “A thankful soul receives another.” Gratitude is not just a polite response; it is a spiritual key that unlocks more blessings. When we pause to say thank you to God, even without a specific reason, we acknowledge His goodness and invite His continued favor.  
   This morning, my heart is overflowing with thanksgiving. No particular event triggered it — just the deep awareness that God is worthy of praise. Sometimes, the purest worship is simply waking up and whispering, “Thank You, Lord.”  

Call to Action:  
I invite you, dear reader, to join me in this chorus of gratitude. Let us sing together, not because everything is perfect, but because God is faithful. Lift your voice, hum a tune, or simply whisper thank you — for life, for breath, for grace, and for the unseen mercies that surround us daily.  
Today, let your soul be thankful, and watch how God multiplies His blessings in your life.  

CAC HYMN 79 - PRAISE MY SOUL THE KING OF HEAVEN

GOSS 8.7.8.7.4.7. 
Bless the lord, O my soul. - Ps.103:1

1. Praise my soul the King of Heaven,
To His feet thy tribute bring,
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who like Thee His praise should sing;
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise the everlasting King!
2. Praise Him for His grace and favour;
To Our father in distress;
Praise Him still the same for ever,
Slow to chide and swift to bless:
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Glorious in His faithfulness.
3. Father-like He tends and spares us;
Well our feeble frame he knows,
In His hands He gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes;
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Widely as His mercy flows.
4. We, like flow'rs its petals bringing!
Blown by wind, withered away,
While on earth or with Thee above,
Our Lord God remain unchanged!
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise the everlasting King.
5. Angels, help us to adore Him;
Ye behold Him face to face!
Sun and Moon bow down before Him!
Dwellers all in time and space,
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise with us the God of grace!
Amen.

Title: Divine Acceleration.

-
Genesis 41:40-41  Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. Devotion: Have you ever felt like your dreams are taking too long to come true? Like you're walking a slow path while others seem to be racing ahead? Take heart—God is a God of acceleration! When He steps in, He can take you from waiting to walking in His promises in an instant.   Consider the story of Joseph. Sold into slavery by his own brothers, imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit—it seemed like his dreams were slipping further away. But when God's appointed time arrived, Joseph was promoted from the prison to the palace in a single day! (Genesis 41:14-41). Years of waiting, hardship, and ...

Title: Wisdom from God.

Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV [5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths. Devotion:  If you’ve ever gone on a trip somewhere you’ve never been, you know how important it is to have a map. Maps help us navigate the unknown areas ahead. Similarly, God’s Word helps us navigate through the unknown seasons of life. It reveals God’s wisdom, which can be essential in guiding our lives.  The book of Proverbs is filled with wisdom and knowledge that helps people live according to God’s purposes for their life. It starts by acknowledging that everything begins with God.   Because God is the creator of life, He knows what direction our lives should go. Our role, according to Proverbs, is to seek Him and trust Him. Trusting God means having a relationship with Him and believing that He knows what's best for us.   The more we trust in God and submit our lives to Him, the more we wi...
