October 30    GIVING THANKS   Luke 17: 11-19 Most of us do not understand the concept of giving thanks for gifts we receive. Thanksgiving is the act of giving thanks, being grateful, acknowledgment of benefits or favors especially to our God. It is an active word, an expression of the state of your mind when you have received a gift, maybe not an expected favor. Today, from our Bible reference we are looking at the story we are very familiar with. We all have heard of the ten lepers who were healed by our Lord Jesus Christ and ONLY one came to acknowledge the awesome gift that he had received, he came to say thank you. Most times we acknowledge the blessing and forget the one who blessed us. Why, I may ask? This is seen when we hear people say “I am a self-made man,” please from where to where?  For us to receive gifts or anything from anyone we must have a relationship with the person. There are many gifts God has given us which we have taken for gr...

  October 29   The Lord Is My Strength            Psalm 54:4–“Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.”         As we continue to read our bible, we shall continue to pray 🙏🏾 to the Holy Spirit for guidance. He will give us the Bible passages to meet our daily needs and to guide us to the Truth -Our Lord Jesus Christ himself. Our life’s journey is premised upon what God has planned for us, we have the responsibility to accept the totality of it all. “ He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” For us to abide in the Lord’s presence, we must have a relationship with Him, we are not passing by, we know Him and He has made room for us. God is our Creator and He will carry us, He will sustain us and rescue us from all evil. In sustaining us, we are leaning and drawing our strength from our Creator, He ensures that we are standing strong a...

    October 28       Me And My Bible           God has written us a letter and is waiting for an answer. Have you received your own letter? This letter is the greatest letter, the greatest gift that you can ever receive. The letter is a big one which you cannot finish reading in a day, not even in a week. The letter has your name, your street and your house number. You are chosen so your letter has been signed and delivered to you by your Maker.  Psalm 139:1-4 “Thou knowest my down sitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thoughts afar off. Thou compasseth my path and my lying down. Thou hast beset me behind and before.” This is part of the letter we have in our hands, God is telling us that He is very much aware of our everyday physical actions (sitting and standing) plus our inner thoughts from afar. God knows us individually and knows our ways and every word we speak before it reaches our thoughts and our tong...

October 27 Matthew 4:4– “ Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God” This bible verse was quoted by our Lord Jesus Christ when he was tempted by the devil to turn stones into bread after fasting for 40 days in the desert. The devil comes to us when we are weak and vulnerable, tempting us to bow to him, we must resist him so he can flee from us. The only armor we have to make him flee from us is God’s word which we wear as our shield. Physical food will sustain our bodies for a while but the SPIRITUAL nourishment, faith, trust, belief and obedience to God are the key to a sustainable life in God.  Our reliance on God for our daily living, relying on His word and His companionship will feed us physically, spiritually and mentally. In Deuteronomy 8:3 God made the Israelites hungry so that He would feed them with food they didn’t know about. He fed them with a strange food, manna, in the wilderness to teach them of total reliance ...

  October 26      Do You Understand What You Are Reading                 On Paul’s missionary journey, he encountered different kinds of believers, he met the Berean christians who checked the scriptures with the words that they heard. In Acts 17:11 he had the opportunity to praise them for eagerness and openness to the word of God. “ These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily,  whether those things were so.” Every day we need to set aside some time to be alone with God, devote some time to study the bible. In reading and studying the bible we hear God speaking to us,we get to know the truth as the Bereans searched the bible for the truth. Knowing the truth will set us free from sin and sorrow, leading us into having an intimate relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. As we spend time in the Word of God, we are ...

October 25      Me And My Letter        Yesterday we received letters from our Father in Heaven, surely out of excitement we started reading the letters immediately. The letters we have in our hands are written in two different segments, the Old and the New. We can start reading from any part we want, the message is about one person, the Author and Finisher of our faith, our Lord Jesus Christ who is our Creator and our sustainer.  I opened my own letter randomly and I found myself reading Psalm 18:29  and I realized that truly, this letter was written to me specifically. I want to share what this verse is telling me. Psalm 18:29– “ For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.” What exactly does this passage mean to me? I realize that the times I come out victorious from overwhelming physical and spiritual challenges, it is because God has stood by me and empowered the efforts that gave me victory. Scaling ...

October 23  The Snare Of Foolishness             Proverbs 18:7  “A fool’s mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to his soul.”  The book of Proverbs is telling us that when our speeches and words are uttered without control, with no decency, without any considerations, we are led to self destruction. “……….. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.” Matthew 12:34. The mouth speaks what has been stored in the heart and this reveals our deepest thoughts, character and what we believe in. When our heart is full, it pours out what it has been fed with. The vile words begin to flow from our mouths and we are not able to control them, our focus is on our victim and we loose all our sensitivity.  What are we feeding our body, soul and our spirit from our thoughts? Today, we are looking at some of the things that knowingly or unknowingly lead us into folly and sinfulness. Some of us are wearing masks but the wa...
