DAILY DIVINE WORD  Saturday, 25th July 2026 Topic:  OPENED UNDERSTANDING  Text: Luke 15:20-31; 24:45 20 - And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21 - And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 22 - But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 23 - And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: 24 - For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. 25 - Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. 26 - And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. 27 - And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy fat...

DAILY DIVINE WORD  Friday, 24th July 2026 Topic : BE AWAKENED!  Text : Matthew 26:34-45 34 - Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. 35 - Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. 36 - Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. 37 - And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. 38 - Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. 39 - And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. 40 - And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me o...

DAILY DIVINE WORD  Thursday, 23rd July, 2026 Topic: WHY SLEEP NOW?  Text: 1 Kings 3: 16-22 16 - Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him. 17 - And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house. 18 - And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house. 19 - And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it. 20 - And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom. 21 - And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear. 22 - And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is...

DAILY DIVINE WORD  Wednesday, 22nd July 2026 Topic: AVOID FOOLISH CONTROVERSY  Text : Titus 3: 8-9 8 - This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. 9 - But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. If we're going to enjoy our journey with God and walk without distractions, we need to learn to prioritise events, activities, and how we spend our energy. I have learned that not everything requires a response; there are times we just need to be silent and focus on what is beneficial to us. Paul was admonishing Titus, his son in the Lord, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit about prioritising. The reason he gave to avoid foolish questions, genealogies, and contention is that they're not profitable and they are vain. It is not...

DAILY DIVINE WORD  Tuesday, 21st July 2026 Topic : IN DUE TIME Text : 1Peter 5:6 - Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Ecclesiastes 3:11 - He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. In my imagination, if you ask anyone why it is difficult to follow God, I think many would say it's because God's ways and timing seem longer. In human calculation, it always looks longer and delayed, without understanding of God and his ways, which can be marked as incorrect. Even at that, every activity done on this planet has timing. When a woman conceives, whether she wants it or not, the child must stay for 90 days, and even when something unusual happens and she's forced into labour when the time is not up, the baby would have to be kept and monitored so that the baby can fulfil the days. Eve...

DAILY DIVINE WORD Monday, 20th July 2026 Topic: THE LIGHT OF LIFE  Text : John 8:12  Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Life can be so complicated that nothing would matter anymore; it can be so confusing that the only word to describe such a situation is darkness. When a man's life seems to be going in a direction with no conviction or assurance of anything good happening ahead, it can be said that such a person works in darkness. Whenever there's darkness, there's no form, there's emptiness and chaos; it's a miserable life to walk in darkness. No matter how smart a man can be, how creative and innovative a man can be, without light, he's a confused man. He may have all the wealth in this world; however, if a part of his life lacks light, he lives a miserable life. Light is an important and necessary part of a successful journey her...

DAILY DIVINE WORD Saturday, 18th July 2026 Topic : SECRET OF PURITY 2 Text : 1John 3:1-3 1 - Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 - Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 - And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. As discussed yesterday, purity is one attribute that we can describe God with, and it's a demand God has placed on us by his grace. Every child of God must access this grace and be as pure as God. So, it becomes imperative to know what the secrets of purity are. One major one we looked at yesterday was God's word.  What other thing can ensure that a man accesses God's grace for purity? John made it so interesting. What a man is hopeful for, he prepare...

DAILY DIVINE WORD Friday, 16th July 2026 Topic : SECRET OF PURITY 1 Text : John 17:17 John.17.17 - Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. The essence of our creation as man is to be like God; this was clearly stated before God created man in Genesis 1:26  " And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." So, it was the intention of God since the beginning that man should be exactly in his image. One of the attributes of God's image is purity; there's no shadow of doubt whatsoever. For this purpose, Jesus came to restore the initial order by forgiving sins and also saving us from its power. So, since Jesus has come to do that, we must embrace what God has done through Jesus Christ. In Christ, we have hope of glory; that means in him we are mad...

DAILY DIVINE WORD  Thursday, 16th July, 2026  Topic: GOD WILL COMPLETE IT. Text : Genesis 24: 1-7 1 - And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things. 2 - And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh: 3 - And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell: 4 - But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac. 5 - And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest? 6 - And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again. 7 - The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, an...

DAILY DIVINE WORD Wednesday, 15th July, 2026 Topic : LET NO MAN DESPISE YOU. Text : Titus 2: 13-15 13 - Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 - Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. 15 - These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. There are phases or stages of life, from birth to old age. Each of these phases is uniquely important with different features and advantages. For example, a child has no worries; he doesn't care how he gets protected or provided for, while an adult would care about all of these and work out for himself to get it done. An old man lives on reflection and navigates his life with experience.  However, one of the best gifts an adult has is his strength; the Bible says the glory of a youth is in his strength. Strength in mind, agility, creativ...

DAILY DIVINE WORD Tuesday, 14th July, 2026 Topic : WHAT MANNER OF LOVE  Text : John 11:33-36 33 - When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, 34 - And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. 35 - Jesus wept. 36 - Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! There are times when we struggle to find the right word to explain or describe certain things. One of such things is the love Christ has for us. Yes, we might have read about it or heard about it, but it's so deep that we can't even understand how much deeper or how wide his love is. However, knowing and being certain of his love towards us should change our relationship with the Lord and draw us closer to him because of the magnitude of his love. One of the fascinating stories in the Scripture for me is the relationship between Jesus and the house of Martha. When their brother died, and Jesus appear...

DAILY DIVINE WORD Sunday, 12th July 2026 Topic : ARE YOU A CHILD? 2 Text : Mark 10:13-16 13 - And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. 14 - But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. 15 - Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. 16 - And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them. If there's a prayer every child of God must pray is that prayer of God making our hearts like that of a child. For Jesus to have set them up as a yardstick for how every child of God must accept and see the issue of the kingdom, it means we must mirror ourselves and pray that our hearts yield to these demands of the kingdom. While we started this matter yesterday, we raised three major question...

DAILY DIVINE WORD Saturday, 11th July 2026 Topic : ARE YOU A CHILD? 1 Text : Mark 10:13-16 13 - And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. 14 - But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. 15 - Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. 16 - And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them. Throughout the earthly ministry of Jesus, all his statements are audacious and made with authority and rightfully so, he's the son of God and so every word spoken by Christ must be believed. Still, those words must be known and understood to have clarity and be able to handle the word.  One of these statements is from our Bible reading today: he told his disciples that Children should come to...

DAILY DIVINE WORD  Friday, 10th July 2026 Topic: LEST I FAINT  Text : Mark 8:1-9 1 - In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them, 2 - I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat: 3 - And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far. 4 - And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness? 5 - And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. 6 - And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people. 7 - And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them. 8 - So they did eat, and were filled: and they to...

DAILY DIVINE WORD  Thursday, 9th July, 2026 Topic : AVOID OFFENDING Text: Matthew 17: 24-27 24 - And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? 25 - He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? 26 - Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. 27 - Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee. It's natural for humans to respond to provocation, especially when we're not at fault. While it's a natural instinct, it doesn't fully justify how we should react as children of God. Not all na...

DAILY DIVINE WORD  Wednesday, 8th July 2026 Topic : LET IT GO Text : Colossians 3:13-14 13 - Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 - And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. It's natural when people work and live together to have offences, and it's going to happen so many times, to live and enjoy our relationship, we must learn to let go of offenses no matter how extremely bad it may be. While every child of God must strive to avoid offending people through our words and actions, we must also note that each time we are offended, the right response is to let go.  Is forgiveness a difficult thing to do? Absolutely yes, and I believe that no man can forgive especially offences that are grievous. But as difficult as this may be, the expectations of God are that we forgive as God forgives. The Bible reading this morning says exactly as Ch...

DAILY DIVINE WORD 7TH JULY 2026 Topic : THE LORD OUR ADVANCER  Text : 1 Samuel 12:5-6 5 - And he said unto them, The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, He is witness. 6 - And Samuel said unto the people, It is the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt. God has been given so many names in the Bible and some of the times it came as a result of their encounter with him. Also, men have tried so many times to try to see if their efforts can make them succeed in life, and over time, it's been proven that it is God who brings increase. I once asked a question during a Bible study I took, whether it was a guarantee that when a student reads and prepares well for an exam he will pass, after much deliberation, we came to the conclusion that it's not, because many other factors can come in and disrupt the student, even death. So it...

DAILY DIVINE WORD  6TH JULY 2026 Topic : ARE YOU AWARE OF GOD? Text : Judges 6: 11-14 11 - And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites. 12 - And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour. 13 - And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites. 14 - And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee? It's dangerous, scary, and painful to have something important in one's hand, yet a man is unaware of it and goes around ...

DAILY DIVINE WORD 4TH JULY 2026 Topic : ACT THE WORD Text : Luke 8:51-56 51 - And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. 52 - And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. 53 - And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. 54 - And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. 55 - And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. 56 - And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done. Yesterday, we looked at how God's word cannot be mocked, even if men attempt it, it doesn't and cannot stop the fulfilment of God's word. One of the things the devil does is to distract us from seeing or believing what God has said about us. He knows he can't stop the fulfilment but he's also sure that if he c...

Text : Luke 8: 49-56 49 - While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. 50 - But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. 51 - And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. 52 - And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. 53 - And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. 54 - And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. 55 - And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. 56 - And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
