Monday, 15th June PAIN OF CHANGE
MORNING 1 Peter 5: 1 – 10
God is the Potter and we are the clay. God forms and moulds us through a process that may not be palatable. Sometimes, God allows us to go through these unpalatable situations to make us better. It may be like gold going through fire to remove all impurities in the process of intense heat. Similarly, when we go through pain or we are put under pressure, dirt's like pride, selfishness, irritability, being easily offended, bitterness, having a sense of entitlement, etc. are dealt with. It is always an opportunity to become a better person. Pressures of life may be tough, but they help us get rid of our rough edges. Child of God, do not waste your pain. Let the pain bring about lasting peace in your life. Develop the fruit of the spirit as you go through pain. Love more and be more patient with others. Be tolerant, Be kind, Be gentle, exercise self-control etc. Let your pain refine you and enjoy lasting peace. Do not leave your job because your boss is tough. Do not leave your church because certain people are hostile. Do not leave your marriage because your spouse is difficult. Stay positive under the pain. It is for a while. (1 Pet. 5:10). After the pain comes establishment, support, strength
and settlement. Pain is sometimes profitable.
EVENING Genesis 31: 38 – 42
Jacob is a good example of someone who went through a lot of pain and pressure and emerged a better person. He summarised his experience of pain in the text above about being cheated, disappointed and falsely accused. All these experiences transformed him from whom he used to be-a cheat - to a better person. He found God, pursued God and fulfilled purpose. He eventually made peace with his brother. Some experiences of life are set up to change us from glory to glory.

Tuesday, 16th June SCARS
MORNING John 20: 20 – 29
A scar is what is left after an injury has healed. They are reminders of pain or brokenness. Usually ugly, they are symbols of healing and redemption. Thomas was helped in his unbelief by Jesus' scars. His scars was His marks of suffering, death and victory over sin and death. This brought salvation, healing, hope and redemption to us. Halleluiah! Similarly, your scars, whether physical, emotional or spiritual are left to serve God's purpose showcasing God's work in your life. Though borne from pain, difficulties and painful experiences, they can be used as testimonies of God's grace, healing, redemption and transformation. Let your scars speak of a transformed life. Just like Jesus did, show men your scars – don't be embarrassed or ashamed of your scars. Show them to others to point them to grace, healing and the power of the Lord. Those ugly scars are actually beautiful when they reflect the redemption power of God. Child of God, do not waste your scars. Bring others to faith by the story they tell. There is testimony of hope and healing inherent in your scars. Unleash them and tell your story.
EVENING Genesis 32: 24 – 28
Jacob's encounter with the Angel left him with a permanent scar. His hip was injured and left him with a permanent limp which altered his gait. But, that scar told the story of a life changing encounter forever. Today, his story is a testimony of God's grace in transforming lives and bringing us close to Him. That scar is serving the Kingdom purpose. Let your scars tell the same story. Wear your scars with purpose. Good night.

Wednesday, 17th June HEALTHY HABITS
MORNING Roman 7: 14 – 25
Habits are formed by practice. Repetitions become our habits. We are encouraged to live differently after giving our lives to Christ. Renewing our minds from the carnal to the spiritual, and becoming transformed into the image of our Lord. The first step in achieving this is intentionality. You must want it and you must be intentional about it. Christ has already saved us from the hold of sin and death. The second step is persistence. Habits are formed by repetition. Even when it seems you are failing, persist. Remember, it is a process that involves acknowledging your struggles, relying on the grace of God, being deliberate and perseverance. What are you perfecting or practicing? Practice forgiveness; practice financial prudence; practice self-control, practice being kind; practice good spending habits, practice attending services in Church regularly and timely too; practice studying the Bible; practice praying all times; practice meditating on God's Word, practice delayed gratification. It is never too late to start. Practice makes perfect, they say. So, I ask again, what are you perfecting?
EVENING Daniel 6: 8 – 12
Daniel was known for his devout prayer life. In another word, praying was his habit. Even when a new law prohibited it, he still kept it, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to a life style of prayers. What healthy habits are you committed to? Keep at it and it is okay to have more. Habits can be many. Just make sure they are healthy habits. Fasting and praying often are good habits. Regular exercise is another. Practice and perfect them. What do you think? Have a restful night!

Friday, 19th June BEWARE OF OLDER BROTHER SYNDROME (1)
MORNING Luke 15:1 – 10
A sinner who goes on in his sinful ways is like a lost sheep which has gone astray – astray from God, astray from the rest of the flock and lost to himself and the eternal purpose of God. God takes great pleasure in going after such to bring them home. But why do we sometimes get angry when God shows His benevolence to people we consider to be not worthy? We must not be like the Pharisees who were angry at our Lord (Luke 15: 1) for spending time with the ‘unworthy'. God is passionate about seeking and saving the lost. Just like He found us, He will continue to seek the lost and He will continue to find the lost. It is His delight when a sinner repents and returns to him. We must not be like the Pharisees who viewed themselves as righteous, but were angry and critical of the Lord's saving grace. This attitude will blind us to God's mercy and love for the lost.
EVENING Jonah 4: 1 – 5
Jonah was like the Pharisees in our text this morning. He was angry at God for showing mercy to others. Please don't be like Jonah. Rejoice when others enjoy God's benevolence. Beware!

Saturday, 20th June BEWARE OF OLDER BROTHER SYNDROME (2)
MORNING Luke 15:10 – 20
In fact, this parable is the 2nd in the set of 3 parables preaching the same message of mercy and grace. God has taken great pain in the quest for a lost soul. And there will always be a rejoicing after a single soul comes to the Lord. God expects us to be happy when others are getting blessed, to be happy when others get healed; to be happy when others get promotions and lifting. Heaven rejoices over every sinner who repents! Should we not join in the celebration? God's mercy is for everyone including the ones we consider unworthy. Beware, don't become self-righteous and judgmental. God's grace is extended towards all. If you are willing to return to Him, no matter how far you have gone, He will accept you.
EVENING Job 21: 7 – 9, 12 – 13
Do you feel like you deserve more? God's mercy is not a reward for self-righteousness. Mercy is a gift and only God has the prerogative of mercy. God's mercy is way beyond our understanding. God will show mercy to whomsoever He will. True faith will trust God's character no matter the circumstance. No one should feel entitled to God's mercy. Beware. The truth is that nobody deserves anything but death. But God's mercy found us. Be happy and rejoice when others are found. Beware!

Sunday, 21st June HAVE YOU MET THE FATHER?
MORNING Matthew 7: 7 – 11, Romans 8:13 – 17
Happy Father's Day! Happy Sunday. Fathers are being celebrated all over the world this day, the 3rd Sunday in June. Hence today, it is a good day to talk about the fatherhood of God. You have a Father in God if you have given your life to Christ. Every sinner is a slave of sin but Christ came and changed our status and now we have been adopted into the family of God. It is a family where the Father cares, loves, provides and protects His children. The Father's love is ever constant and unconditional. He will not love you today and hate you tomorrow. He will not look away when you are hurting. No true father does that. He is ever so protective of His own, especially the needy and the vulnerable. The Bible calls Him the Father of the fatherless (Psalm 68:5). He is a very generous Father with boundless love and mercy. If earthly fathers provide for their own how much more our heavenly Father. The good news is: if you do not know God as Father yet, there is space for you. His love and mercy are extended to all who turn to Him in faith. You too can call Him intimately 'Abba Father'. Come and experience the love of the Father! Happy Father's Day to all responsible fathers.
EVENING Deuteronomy 32: 9 – 13
The deep affection of God the Father to His children is depicted in the Scripture passage we read tonight. God watches over His own. He nurtures and strengthens. He makes preparations for them to thrive and succeed. What a Father However, verse 12 says: no foreign god was with Him. You shall have no other father besides Him. You must commit to Him only. Commit yourself to God and enjoy the benefits of having Him as a Father .Have a good night!

Monday, 22nd June FORGIVE
MORNING Colossians 3:8 – 17, Matthew 6:14, Ephesian 4:32
Forgiveness is one of the most powerful expressions of love and faith. When we are deeply hurt, it may be very difficult to forgive. But forgiveness is essential for our own wellbeing and relationship with God. Let go of anger, otherwise it keeps us in bondage. If you desire forgiveness from God, you must forgive offences. We have a perfect example in our Lord Jesus who, despite everything, prayed that the Father should forgive us (Luke 23:34). Similarly, Stephen forgave in the face of death (Acts 7:59 – 60) When we let go of anger, choose love over bitterness, we set ourselves free to enjoy God and Christ’s beauty is seen in our lives. You have encompassed this mountain of unforgiveness long enough. Move over the negative behaviour and respond differently, forgive. It is well.
EVENING Job 42; 10 – 15
Job has shown us the power inherent in forgiveness. Forgiveness is often difficult especially when we have been deeply hurt, betrayed or falsely accused. However, forgiveness is the key to restoration and divine blessings. Forgive that person and expect restoration. You cannot tell, your restoration may be waiting for your willingness to forgive your parents, spouse, boss or whoever. Let go and be free. Good night!

Tuesday, 23rd June THE ROBE WAS A LIE
MORNING Genesis 37: 26 – 26
Good morning! It is a happy day. The story we read today is an interesting one. Jacob was told a lie as an evidence of something that did not happen. He held on to that lie for not less than 13 years. Living in deep emotional wounds, his grief was overwhelming, refusing to be comforted. I imagine the number of times he would have brought out the robe to show to people confirming his right to mourn and to be miserable, not knowing that it was all a lie. The question: is, what evidence have you held on to for so long? A negative medical report? A sack letter? A failed business? A failed marriage? What you have in your hand is a lie. It is an evidence of the devil's conspiracy to make you dis-believe God, trying to call God a liar. God is not a liar. He is a promise keeper. Whatever promise He has made to you, He will bring it to pass. Your mistakes cannot even change His mind. The Lord will not only heal you, He will also make you whole. He will not only heal your finances, He will bless you so that your cup will run over. He will not only overrule the academic but He will make you excel excellently in the world of academics failure if only you will attempt it again . He will not only restore your job, He will also promote you. It' is time to let go of the lie. The robe was a lie. The 'evidence' in your hand is a lie. God is a game changer. Have you not heard? …….( Isaiah 40; 28).
EVENING 2 Corinthians 1: 17 – 21
When it comes to the Lord with whom we have to do, His promises are yes and Amen. He is not a man that He should lie. Every other man may be a liar but God is true. True to His Words, true to His promises. He is very reliable. The facts cannot be compared to the truth of God's word. Embrace God's truth.

Wednesday, 24th June RESTORATION IS POSSIBLE
MORNING Matthew 11: 1 - 10
John the Baptist sent his disciples to ask Jesus Christ if He was the Messiah. It is so important to note that all the miracles Jesus chronicled were all about restoration. Restoration is a return of something to a former, normal unimpaired condition. Our salvation is a restoration of life. Halleluiah! Restoration can be heard, it can be seen and it can be reported or shared. Christ is gracious and merciful, He restores what is broken and lost. Have you lost anything? Hope? Loved one? Job? Health? Clarity? Purpose? Faith? etc. God is a restorer. Even when you face disappointment, He will restore hope to you. He can restore your vision and give clarity again. God's Kingdom has come to restore. He will restore your health, physical, mental and emotional He can and He will restore. Jesus' healing touch is available even today, even now. The blind can receive their sight now. The lame can begin to walk now. The dead are raised now . In whatever area of life needs restoration, whatever is broken or lost, relationships, financial stability, purpose or dream, God is able to restore all. Restoration is possible in Jesus' Name. Seek His help right now and all that is broken are made whole in Jesus' Name.
EVENING Joel 2: 25 – 26
Good evening. Please do not forget to thank the Lord as He restores you. God's restorative power is ushering in a new season of overflowing blessing. All things are made new in Christ. Halleluiah
