Sunday, 26th July LIVING DELIBERATELY 6
MORNING Luke 10:25-37
Happy Sunday, the last in July! Have you been living deliberately or intentionally? Have you stopped trusting your life to chance or luck? Let us conclude today by considering living deliberately socially. You are probably familiar with the popular parable of our Lord Jesus Christ about the good Samaritan. There was antipathy between Jews and Samaritans, so the people of his day understood what Jesus was driving at. The lawyer needed to justify himself, or find a loop hole, so to say, asking who was his neighbour. In this context, your neighbour isn't just the person who lives nearby, but anyone who comes into your life. You will agree that this makes it very wide. So, from today, walk in love towards everyone who comes into your life. Live deliberately and touch lives with the love of God. Amen.
EVENING Proverbs 14:28-31
Being kind to the needy is honouring God! (v31). It is easy to assume that needy people are lazy, irresponsible, etc. But our calling is not to judge, but really, most needy people may be victims of society or their upbringing. So, let us stop insulting God by oppressing the already downtrodden (see v. in NLT), but rather show them mercy. Then, they will be interested in our Gospel when they are touched by our love. So, live deliberately, socially.

Monday, 27th July GLOATING OVER EVIL?
MORNING Obadiah 1:10-21
Welcome to the last working week of July. To gloat is to observe or think about something with a triumphant and often malicious satisfaction, gratification or delight. Now, do you gloat over evil, say to your nasty boss, or a neighbour who doesn't greet you well, or a colleague who is not particularly friendly? Maybe because they deserve it, in your opinion? That is not godly at all! The book of Obadiah was written for that purpose. You probably remember that the Edomites were the descendants of Esau, while Jews were the descendants of Jacob. The Edomites gloated and even sided with the enemy against their brothers and God showed His displeasure about it (v14). If that had been your attitude before, desist, lest you incur the wrath of God. What God expects of you is to walk in love.
Meditation: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
EVENING Romans 12:14-21
As Christians, we are to bless and not curse, (v14). We are not to repay evil for evil either (v17). If someone claims to be your enemy, you don't take him as an enemy, but rather feed them, give them drinks (v20). In short, rather than gloat if something unfortunate befalls them, overcome evil with good (v21). So, definitely you are not to wish them evil. That would be behaving like a child of the devil. Amen! Sleep well…

Tuesday, 28th July LIFE PARTNERSHIP
MORNING Deuteronomy 22:1-10
A lot of times, what people will deal with in marriage is obvious from courtship days, but either because people are “in love”, that they are getting on in years, or just plain foolish, they disregard things they should make an issue of! Ask yourself, if in courtship, “supposing this doesn't change, will I be able to live with it for life?” Clearly, immoral and criminal things should not pass the test if you are a serious Christian. Not knowing how to dress, laughing a little too loudly, and such will become trivial. So, think of a life-partnership. Have you met your life partner? In v10 of our text today, an ox was a clean animal while a donkey was an unclean one. They were not to be in partnership! Now think of life partnership! So, it is not everyone that you can marry. Of course, if you are already married, this is too late. Yes!
EVENING 2 Corinthians 6:14-18
V14 of our text this evening is an allusion to what we read in the morning. We are not wrong to see it as a born again Christian not marrying someone who is not, no matter how nice, respectful, generous etc they may be. But even some born again Christians are not straight! Some are always in debt, violent, and their stories keep changing. Do you want to live with that for life? So, unequal yoking can be extended to even some supposed Christians, isn't it? Be careful in your choice of a life partner. God will help you. Amen. Memory Verse: Romans 8:14

Wednesday, 29th July WALKING BY FAITH
MORNING 2 Corinthians 5:1-8
In v7 of our text this morning, we read “for we (Christians) walk by faith and not by sight”. The NLT renders it “we live by believing and not by seeing”. Kindly read the verse in as many versions of the Bible as you can lay your hands on to get the import. This is how a Christian is expected (by God) to live. Is that how you are living right now? Do you subconsciously believe God? We walk by faith in other areas of life. Like we don't consider whether a chair will carry our weight before we sit. We expect a light bulb to come on when we flip the switch and we expect a car to start when we turn the ignition. So, why can't we trust God that He is who He says He is and can and will do what He says He will do? From today, walk by faith and not by sight. Amen.
Memory Verse: Hebrews 11:6
EVENING Genesis 5:21-24
Though we didn't read Heb.11:5 this morning, we read v6. If you are not familiar with it, you may read it now. Enoch had the testimony that he pleased God. A walk of faith pleases God. We read this evening “after he begot… Enoch walked with God”. So, we can start or stop it. Did you notice also that he had a family? So, a spouse, children, job etc should not disturb you from walking by faith. As a matter of fact, we are to practice God's Word in all spheres and areas of life. The Christian life then becomes exciting! Start tonight in Jesus' Name. Meditation: John 20:29

Thursday, 30th July WISE TESTING
MORNING Nehemiah 6:1-12
As the month gradually comes to an end, let us consider the fact that God expects us not to swallow everything hook, line, sinker, fishermen and boat! Nehemiah, an exemplary leader of Old Testament Israel, had to seriously consider or test an issue before him. In v10, a secret informant tried to lure him into a wrong position, so that he would sin against God. How many people would question a “thus saith the Lord”, especially if the “Prophet” has dread locks and wears white? In v11, Nehemiah said should someone like him flee? Then in v12, he perceived that the guy was fake. Know God for yourself, learn the Bible for yourself. The fact that someone gyrates for effect, looks like John the Baptist or Mary Slessor and says “thus saith the Lord” does not mean that it is God!
Meditation: 1 Corinthians 14:29
EVENING 1 John 4:1-6
The Bible says that we should not believe every spirit! So, why do people find it so easy to believe charlatans? Unfortunately, many Christians are gullible! If you know your Bible well, you know God's mind well already. You should be able to discern some things easily, that “no, that can't be God”. God will never contradict Scripture, no matter who the messenger is. Start to build a solid relationship with God and trust your walk with Him. He will not fail you. Hallelujah!
Memory Verse: Hebrews 10:23

Friday, 31st July HOW FAR?
MORNING Genesis 3:1-10
People use “how far” to ask about the distance. But when you ask younger people these days, it has nothing to do with distance at all! It may just mean hello, or it may mean how are things generally. Sometimes, it even means how about the specific thing we discussed the other time we met. It can be quite wide in application therefore! So, dearly beloved, how far? As July runs to an end, are you where you want to be in your walk with God, marriage, ministry, business, career, health, finances or whatever else? When God asked Adam in v 9 “where are you?”, of course He knew where Adam was, both physically and spiritually. Adam was expected to locate himself, so that he could adjust and realign himself. Again, how far?
EVENING Hebrews 4:11-16
All things are naked to God (v13). So, He definitely knew where Adam was, as we saw in the morning. He knows where we all are today too. As you go to bed, preparing for August, how far? Thank God the Lord can sympathise with our weaknesses. So, go boldly to Him in prayers tonight, to obtain mercy and find grace for the journey ahead. All the best in August and the rest of the year, in Jesus' Name.

Saturday, 1st August THE POWER HOUSE
MORNING Psalm 91:1-16
Happy New Month of August. It is already the eighth month of the year so soon. Glory to God Most High. We are confident that His grace which has brought us this far, will take us through the rest of the year. The power house usually has the engine of the ship which keeps the ship sailing. Our power house spiritually is our prayer life. These verses of Scripture are such a great blessing that it is a pleasure to read all the 16 verses. Meditating on them will cause faith to rise in our hearts. However, our focus is on verse 1 which reads thus in the Amplified version: “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty (whose power no foe can withstand)”. This is worth shouting about! We believe it and shall stay under the shadow of the Almighty as we dwell in God's secret place of prayer. It is our power house.
Meditation: Please read Psalm 91:1 aloud
EVENING. Luke 5:13-16
Jesus had a very busy and successful ministry; going about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil (Acts 10:38). The crowd were always close by, yet Jesus never joked with His prayer life. It was His power house. We, like Jesus, must also know how to 'withdraw' to pray. In His presence is the source of our strength. It is our power house. August for us shall be a month of many beautiful manifestations of those things we had asked of the Lord earlier this year. Welcome to August.

Sunday, 2nd August NO BATTLES TO FIGHT (1)
MORNING Deuteronomy 20:1-8
Happy Sunday. 2026 is gradually closing down as August is the eighth month of the year leaving us with four more months. The urgency to see needs met and request answered may make us think that there is MORE for us to do. The numerous bill boards inviting us to prayer mountains abound. One actually said: 'Come to battle the devil' etc. Dearly beloved, verse 1 actually says, WHEN and not IF we go to battle. By this, God is telling us that 'battles 'will arise in life; events and circumstances may want to threaten us. They are part of life. The big deal is not the battle but our response to such. Verses 3 and 4 are the comforting and very assuring words of the Priest to God's people. Jesus paid it all. There is no other sacrifice. As New Testament believers, we know that Christ has fought and won for us. No need to fear. No need to battle the devil.
Memory Verse: Please read aloud Romans 8:37
EVENING. 2 Corinthians 2:14
As we go to bed tonight, let this Scripture passage of our text tonight be on our lips. Let us meditate on it until it becomes real to us. It is done not because of what we do now but because of what Jesus has done. Have a restful night.

Monday, 3rd August NO BATTLES TO FIGHT (2)
MORNING 2 Chronicles 20:1-12, 15
Problems of life are inevitable but we, as God's children, can know peace in the midst of storms. That peace is in the knowledge of the presence of the Lord in our lives. We do not run around like a chicken whose head has been cut off. We do not 'fight in these battle 'because the battle is not ours but God's (verse 15). We stay in rest because we trust absolutely in the faithfulness of our God. He is an ‘on time’ God. He never comes late. When people are talking of battles to fight, we can be shouting 'Hallelujah, the Lord reigns'. It shall end in praise.
Confession: There may be battles alright but they are not my battles. The battle is the Lord's. I do not fight any battles. I celebrate the victories.
EVENING Hebrews 4:1-3.
Are we among those who have believed? If we are, then we enter into rest. Faith is acting on the revealed truth of God's Word. Go to bed. It is done because of what Jesus did. Not because of what we can do. Enjoy the night rest in spite of the storm. This is called faith. It will not go unrewarded. God honours our faith..

Tuesday, 4th August GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH
MORNING 2 Chronicles 20:13-23
Dearly beloved, these accounts of the great works of God, as we have just read, are meant to encourage us who live in the New Testament (1 Corinthians 10:11). God is a wonder! Truly, we have not been called to fight wars but to fight the good fight of faith. The victory is in believing the Word of God through His servants (2 Chronicles 20:20) and acting on it. This is faith. Same still applies today. The greater One lives in us. We are more than conquerors.
Memory verse. Please read aloud 1 John 4:4
EVENING. 1 Timothy 6:11-12 , 2 Corinthians 5:7
The only fight that we are called to fight is the 'fight of faith' which is qualified as good. Dearly beloved, we are faith children of a faith God. Our weapons of warfare are not carnal but effective through Christ (2 Cor. 10:4) as we stay in the place of obedience upholding the Word of the Lord. Never give room to doubt and fear. Fight the good fight of faith.

Wednesday, 5th August IT IS EITHER GOD OR GOD (1)
MORNING Daniel 3:8-18
As we proceed in this beautiful month of August and, we must steadily grow in faith to the extent that we trust in God absolutely. We must get to the point where our love for God is beyond just meeting our needs. Whether He meets our request or not, God is still GOD. The three Hebrews no doubt were at a cross road in life where they had to make a decision and their reply in verse 18, was, in other words; “It is either God or God”. There is no alternative to Him. When we make our resolve clear like this, we are ready to see God show up. As He did for the three Hebrews, He will show up for us in all our concerns because we trust Him absolutely. It is either God or God.
THOUGHT: Whatever God does not give me, I do not want. It is either God or God. Nothing else Nothing less.
EVENING. John 6:66-69
Sometimes life presents us with some 'hard stuff 'that may cause some like the disciples in our text to start considering turning away from the faith. Thank God for men like Apostle Peter whose trust in the Lord could cause him to say as in verse 68: 'To whom shall we go. You have the words that give eternal life'. In other words, “It is either God or God”. Go to bed tonight knowing that the Lord fights all our battles. He is big enough. There is none other besides Him.
