  • TUESDAY MORNING FAMILY PRAYER!

    “LORD, MOVE IN OUR FAMILIES!”

    “Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear.” — Isaiah 59:1 (KJV)

    Heavenly Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we come before You this Tuesday morning lifting up our entire family.
    Lord, move in our families as never before! Go into every home, touch every heart, and meet every need.
    Father, we lift up every family member who does not have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Your Word says You are “not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). Lord, save our sons, daughters, grandchildren, spouses, parents, siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family. Draw them to Jesus and bring the wandering ones home!
    Father, touch every family member dealing with physical sickness, mental and emotional struggles, pain, disease, anxiety, fear, discouragement, or exhaustion.
    “Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed.” — Jeremiah 17:14 (KJV)
    Lord, heal bodies, strengthen minds, restore peace, guide doctors, and give wisdom concerning every treatment and decision.
    Father, we cry out for those struggling with drugs and alcohol. Break every chain of addiction! Destroy destructive cycles and give them strength, treatment, support, and godly people to walk with them toward freedom.
    “He brought them out of darkness... and brake their bands in sunder.” — Psalm 107:14 (KJV)
    Lord, we place our finances before You. Provide where there is lack. Give us wisdom, discipline, favor, opportunity, and resources. Help us become faithful stewards of everything You place in our hands.
    We pray for every family member seeking employment.
    “Establish thou the work of our hands upon us.” — Psalm 90:17 (KJV)
    Lord, open doors no one can shut. Give favor with applications, résumés, interviews, and employers. Lead them to the right opportunities.
    And for those who are already employed, Father, we thank You! Now we believe You for increase, advancement, salary increases, new opportunities, and promotion according to Your will.
    Lord, heal broken relationships. Restore communication. Break generational cycles. Remove unforgiveness, division, and bitterness. Protect our children, marriages, homes, and loved ones from dangers seen and unseen.
    Father, move through our bloodline!
    Save our family.
    Heal our family.
    Deliver our family.
    Provide for our family.
    Restore our family.
    Protect our family.
    And let Your Word be fulfilled:
    “I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring.” — Isaiah 44:3 (KJV)
    Lord, do something in our families that only You can get the glory for!
    We place every name, every sickness, every financial need, every job situation, every addiction, every troubled mind, every unsaved loved one, and every unspoken burden into Your hands.
    LORD, MOVE AS NEVER BEFORE!
    In the mighty, healing, saving, delivering, restoring, chain-breaking, door-opening name of JESUS CHRIST, we pray.
    AMEN, AMEN, AND AMEN!

    “As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” — Joshua 24:15 (KJV)

    “WHEN I CANNOT SEE HIS HAND”
    WHEN I CHOOSE TO REMEMBER
    Lamentations 3:21–23 (LLV) —
    “Yet this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD's faithful love we are not consumed, for His mercies never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”
    There are times
    when hope
    seems to arrive
    naturally.
    Something changes.
    A prayer
    is answered.
    A door
    opens.
    The clouds
    begin
    to clear.
    And suddenly
    hope
    feels possible
    again.
    That is not
    what happens
    here.
    Jeremiah
    is surrounded
    by devastation.
    The city
    he loves
    has fallen.
    His people
    are suffering.
    His heart
    is filled
    with grief.
    Nothing
    around him
    has suddenly
    become better.
    Then Jeremiah says:
    “This
    I call
    to mind.”
    He makes
    a choice.
    He remembers
    something.
    And because
    of what
    he remembers,
    hope begins
    to return.
    “Therefore
    I have hope.”
    Sometimes
    hope begins
    not when
    our circumstances
    change,
    but when
    we remember
    what our circumstances
    have caused us
    to forget.
    God
    is still faithful.
    His mercy
    has not
    run out.
    His love
    has not
    disappeared.
    His character
    has not
    changed.
    Jeremiah
    cannot yet
    look around
    and say,
    “Everything
    is well.”
    But he can
    look toward God
    and say,
    “Great is
    Your faithfulness.”
    That is
    a very different
    kind of hope.
    It does not
    deny
    the ruins.
    It does not
    pretend
    the pain
    is small.
    It simply refuses
    to allow
    the ruins
    to tell
    the entire story.
    Then Jeremiah
    gives us
    one of Scripture's
    most beautiful
    images:
    “His mercies
    are new
    every morning.”
    Yesterday
    may have been
    difficult.
    Yesterday
    may contain
    things
    we cannot change.
    Yesterday
    may have exhausted
    every bit
    of strength
    we thought
    we had.
    But morning
    comes.
    And when
    it does,
    God's mercy
    has not been
    used up
    by yesterday.
    There is mercy
    for this morning.
    Grace
    for this day.
    Strength
    for this burden.
    Faithfulness
    for this step.
    Perhaps
    that is why
    remembering
    matters so much.
    When we cannot
    see God's hand
    in what
    is happening now,
    we can remember
    where we have
    seen it before.
    We remember
    the prayers
    He answered.
    The strength
    He supplied.
    The doors
    He opened.
    The times
    He carried us
    through something
    we once thought
    we could never
    endure.
    And memory
    becomes
    a bridge
    between yesterday's
    faithfulness
    and today's
    hope.
    Nothing
    around Jeremiah
    had changed.
    But he remembered
    something
    greater
    than what
    surrounded him.
    God had not changed.
    A new beginning sometimes begins by remembering:
    when I cannot see what God is doing today, I can remember who He has always been.
    Reflection: What evidence of God's faithfulness from yesterday do I need to deliberately remember today?
    Prayer: Heavenly Father, when difficulty fills my vision, I can easily forget the many ways You have already been faithful. Help me call them to mind. Remind me of Your mercy, Your provision, Your strength, and Your presence through every season behind me. Thank You that yesterday cannot exhaust the mercy You have prepared for today. Whatever surrounds me this morning, let me remember and say with Jeremiah: “Great is Your faithfulness.” In Jesus' name, Amen.

  • A WORD FOR YOU.
    (Insights For Life)


    Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. Jeremiah 1:11 KJV.


    WHAT DO YOU SEE?
    This is one of the most powerful question ever asked in the scripture. It is deliberate. This is because your answer to this question, changes everything in and around you. It is the foundation for every genuine change. It is what makes the whole difference in a man's life. What do you see?

    God is not responsible for everything happening to you. The devil is not either. You are at the centre of everything happenings in your life. You are a decider, a contributor, a partner to the decision making process of the changes, events and activities of your life. "I leave everything in God's hands", is an ignorant man's submission. God has so much in his hands already. So leaving yours in his hands, creates a difficult situation for you. The day you understand this truth and leave by it, your life will begin to take a new shape.

    What do you see? CHANGE, PROGRESS, SOLUTION, VICTORY; BEGINS WITH WHAT YOU SEE. This is the first step to a breakthrough or a breakdown. The reason is: LIFE, GOD, is only committed to what you see. What you say, is a conclusion, but what you see is a decision. Many have decided their destiny long before it happens by their constant projection of their thoughts and imagination.

    Until you change what you see, you can't change WHAT YOU SEE. To others, they see nothing. No wonder life and God is delivering nothing to them. Do you see failure or success? Do you see frustration or manifestation? Do you see disappointment or appointment? Do you see marital settlement, financial turnaround, Favour and God's goodness? If YES, NOW, go ahead and declare them upon your self. Say it loud, let the heavens and earth hear it. Say out loud what you see. For me, I see transformation, from glory to glory in Jesus precious name. Be blessed, Stay refreshed!

    TUESDAY

    GOD'S WORD FOR THE DAY

    “Trust God When Life Seems Unfair”

    Jeremiah 12:1

    “You are always righteous, Lord, when I bring a case before you. Yet I would speak with you about your justice: Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease?”

    This is the Word of God. Jeremiah 12 begins with a question that many faithful people have asked: Why do the wicked sometimes seem to prosper while those who seek God suffer? Jeremiah honestly brings his confusion before the Lord.

    God does not condemn us for bringing difficult questions to Him. We can come to Him honestly with our pain, doubts, and struggles. Yet, even when we do not understand His ways, we can still trust that God is righteous and that His judgments are perfect.

    Life may sometimes appear unfair, but God sees what we cannot see. He knows every heart, understands every circumstance, and remains righteous even when His ways are beyond our understanding.

    May God give us faith to trust His righteousness when we cannot understand our circumstances, patience to wait for His timing, and confidence that He is always good and just. Amen.

    Have a blessed day with the Lord.

  • Good evening, brethren.
    1. Evening devotion for today.

    ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST*
    (COCIN DEVOTIONAL)

    *DATE:*
    MONDAY 31ST AUGUST, 2026.

    *SUB-THEME:*
    YOUTHS: VESSELS OF GOD’S GRACE.

    *TOPIC:*
    FUTURE ASSURED.

    *TEXT:*
    JEREMIAH 29:11-13.
    11. For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
    12. Then you will call on Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
    13. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.

    *TOPIC:*
    FUTURE ASSURED.

    *THE MESSAGE:*
    While our parents may plan for our future, God's plan for us is always perfect in timing and direction. His plans are always good, filled with hope and purpose. When we align with His will and seek Him wholeheartedly, we can be confident of a secure and fulfilling future. Even in times of hardship or uncertainty, like the current killings and land grabbing, God is not absent. He may be shaping a brighter future for us, just as He did for the people of Judah. The message of this text reflects God's unchanging character towards His people. His plans are always for peace and restoration, not harm. When we seek Him sincerely and pray, He listens and reveals Himself to us. The wicked may flourish, but for a short time (Ps. 92:27).

    *REFLECTION:*
    Believe that God has an assured future for you.

    *PRAYER:*
    Lord, help me to seek You wholeheartedly. Amen.

    *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:*
    2 TIMOTHY 2:21.
    "If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be instruments for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master, and prepared to do any good work."

    *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:*
    DANIEL 7-12.

    ED.ii. USE WHATEVER YOU HAVE

    "The One (Jesus) who is in you is greater than the one (the evil one) who is in the world." - 1 John 4:4

    David was a shepherd boy and used handling a sling. He was familiar with it. When he was dressed in Saul's armor, he knew that he could not fight in that. He was not familiar with such armor. He could handle his simple sling. With this he killed Goliath, and this was a huge victory.

    Shamgar was a simple farmer. He was familiar with working with an ox stick. He knew exactly how to handle it. So, he used what he was familiar with to defeat the enemy.

    Work with what you have

    You too must use what you are familiar with for the Lord's case. With this you will win the battle, because the Lord will be able to do miracles for you. Most work done in the Kingdom of God is done by simple people, who use what they have and start working with it.

    God does not need big things

    We do not need difficult things to enable God to perform great miracles. God does not need big things to do something big. You should not be afraid, but brave; you have to use what you have at hand and work with it.

    Be obedient and go to war with what you have. Fight the enemy. The enemy is great, and he is always against us, but what does that matter when God is on our side? Although it seems that we are not in the majority, with Jesus we are more than conquerors, because He who lives in us is more powerful than he who controls the world. We do not need to be afraid of the enemy, because if we use what we have, we will overcome with Jesus.

    2. Evening Prayer for today.

    EP.i. Evening Prayer

    If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light [are] both alike [to thee]. ⏤ Psalm 139:11-12

    You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed. ⏤ S.D. Gordon

    Breathe upon us with Your breath of grace and love, our Father, and give us an evening blessing. Let our prayers rise before You as fragrant incense. Let Your peace be upon us. The shadows have deepened around us, but You are in the shadows, and we are safe. Darkness holds no danger when You are watching over us. Night is as day when . . .
    Your eye keeps watch on us,
    Your hand protects us,
    And Your arm embraces us.

    We go to our rest without fear or anxiety, for You are keeping us. Human arms, though their embrace is dear, are not strong. They cannot always hold us. Even the strongest of them must one day fall in the weakness of death. But Your arms are everlasting. Nothing can tear us from Your grasp. Nothing in the universe can separate us from Your love. No one can snatch us from the hand of our Savior. We bless You for Your love, for our security in it, and for the eternity of Your grace. Your promises are sure forever. We are as safe as if we were already in Heaven, for You are our God and Father, and we are Your redeemed children.

    Whatever sins we have committed today, please forgive. If we have harmed one of Your little ones, show us how we have done it so that we may seek to make it right. If we have lost our temper and spoken unadvisedly, impatiently, unkindly, or uncharitably, either to or about someone else, we ask for forgiveness. Take not Your Holy Spirit from us. Restore to us the joy of Your salvation. Grant us grace and teach us the better way, the more excellent way, the way of love. We want to show forth Your praise in all our lives. Bless us and enable us to manifest Jesus wherever we go. We ask all this in the name of Jesus our Redeemer. Amen.

God does not need big things We do not need difficult things to enable God to perform great miracles. God does not need big things to do something big. You should not be afraid, but brave; you have to use what you have at hand and work with it. Be obedient and go to war with what you have. Fight the enemy. The enemy is great, and he is always against us, but what does that matter when God is on our side? Although it seems that we are not in the majority, with Jesus we are more than conquerors, because He who lives in us is more powerful than he who controls the world. We do not need to be afraid of the enemy, because if we use what we have, we will overcome with Jesus. https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light [are] both alike [to thee]. ⏤ Psalm 139:11-12 You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed. ⏤ S.D. Gordon Breathe upon us with Your breath of grace and love, our Father, and give us an evening blessing. Let our prayers rise before You as fragrant incense. Let Your peace be upon us. The shadows have deepened around us, but You are in the shadows, and we are safe. Darkness holds no danger when You are watching over us. Night is as day when . . . Your eye keeps watch on us, Your hand protects us, And Your arm embraces us. We go to our rest without fear or anxiety, for You are keeping us. Human arms, though their embrace is dear, are not strong. They cannot always hold us. Even the strongest of them must one day fall in the weakness of death. But Your arms are everlasting. Nothing can tear us from Your grasp. Nothing in the universe can separate us from Your love. No one can snatch us from the hand of our Savior. We bless You for Your love, for our security in it, and for the eternity of Your grace. Your promises are sure forever. We are as safe as if we were already in Heaven, for You are our God and Father, and we are Your redeemed children. Whatever sins we have committed today, please forgive. If we have harmed one of Your little ones, show us how we have done it so that we may seek to make it right. If we have lost our temper and spoken unadvisedly, impatiently, unkindly, or uncharitably, either to or about someone else, we ask for forgiveness. Take not Your Holy Spirit from us. Restore to us the joy of Your salvation. Grant us grace and teach us the better way, the more excellent way, the way of love. We want to show forth Your praise in all our lives. Bless us and enable us to manifest Jesus wherever we go. We ask all this in the name of Jesus our Redeemer. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/57/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

  • YOU SHALL SPROUT AGAIN. .

    TEXT: Job 14:7-9. (KJV).

    "For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout
    again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
    Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock
    thereof die in the ground; Yet through the scent of water it will
    bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant."

    Other Texts: (Numbers 23:19; Joshua 21:45; 2 Corinthians
    1:20; Genesis 21:1–2; Deuteronomy 7:9; Isaiah 55:10–11; Habakkuk 2:3; 1 Kings 8:56.)

    Introduction:
    There are seasons in life when it appears that everything has come to an end.
    Dreams seem buried, businesses collapse, ministries become dry, families experience heartbreak, and health fails. The enemy whispers, "It is over."
    But God declares through Job 14:7, "There is hope."
    Our God specializes in bringing life out of death, beauty out of ashes, and restoration after devastation.
    If a tree can sprout again after being cut down, then a child of God can also rise again.
    No matter how much has been lost, you shall sprout again.

    I. YOUR SETBACK IS NOT YOUR END.
    Job 14:7
    A tree may be cut down, but its roots remain alive.
    The enemy may cut down your finances, reputation, relationships, or ministry, but if your roots remain in Christ, your future is secure.
    Job lost everything, yet God restored him double (Job 42:10-17).

    Joseph was betrayed, sold into slavery, and imprisoned before becoming governor (Genesis 37; 39-41).
    Naomi returned to Bethlehem empty, but God filled her again through Ruth (Ruth 1-4).
    A farmer does not uproot every tree after cutting its branches because he knows that life is still hidden beneath the surface. Likewise, what appears dead to people may still be alive in God's hands.
    People may write you off, but God has not finished writing your story.

    2. THE ROOT DETERMINES THE FUTURE.
    Job 14:8
    "Though the root thereof wax old..."
    God focuses on the root rather than the branches.
    The branches represent visible success.
    The roots represent: Prayer, Faith, Character, Holiness, God's Word
    A believer with deep roots can recover after any storm.
    (Psalm 1:3, Jeremiah 17:7-8, Colossians 2:6-7)
    Never neglect your spiritual roots during difficult seasons.

    3. THE SCENT OF WATER BRINGS REVIVAL.
    Job 14:9
    The tree sprouts not because someone pushes it but because it senses water.
    Throughout Scripture, water represents:
    The Holy Spirit (John 7:37-39)
    The Word of God (Ephesians 5:26)
    God's refreshing presence (Isaiah 44:3)
    The moment God's presence touches a dry life, restoration begins.
    Ezekiel's dry bones came alive by God's Spirit (Ezekiel 37:1-14).
    Samson regained strength when his hair grew again (Judges 16:22).
    Peter failed terribly, yet Jesus restored him and he became a bold preacher (John 21:15-19).
    During drought, fields appear lifeless. Yet when rain falls, seeds hidden beneath the soil suddenly germinate. What looked dead was only waiting for the right season.
    Stay connected to God's presence because one encounter can change everything.

    4. GOD RESTORES WHAT SEEMS LOST
    God is the God of restoration.
    (Joel 2:25-27, Isaiah 61:7, Psalm 126:1-6)
    God restores: Lost opportunities, Joy, Peace, Relationships, Ministries, Finances, Health etc.
    Lazarus came back from the grave (John 11).
    The Shunammite woman received back her land and possessions (2 Kings 8:1-6).
    The prodigal son was restored to his father's house (Luke 15:11-24).
    God's restoration is often greater than what was lost.

    5. SPROUTING AGAIN REQUIRES FAITH.
    Faith sees life where others see death.
    (Hebrews 11:1, Mark 9:23, Romans 4:17-21)
    Abraham believed against hope.
    Sarah conceived in old age.
    Nothing is impossible with God.
    Faith keeps believing until God's promise becomes reality.

    6. DO NOT DESPISE SMALL BEGINNINGS.
    When a tree sprouts again, it starts with a small shoot.
    God often begins restoration in small ways.
    (Zechariah 4:10, Isaiah 60:22)
    David moved from shepherd boy to king one step at a time (1 Samuel 16; 2 Samuel 5).
    Celebrate every sign of progress because God often starts small before doing something great.

    7. YOUR TESTIMONY WILL ENCOURAGE OTHERS.
    When God restores you, your life becomes a testimony.
    (Psalm 40:1-3, Revelation 12:11)
    Others who have lost hope will gain courage because of what God has done for you.

    LESSONS FOR TODAY'S CHRISTIAN
    Never conclude your life before God has finished His work.
    Remain rooted in Christ during difficult seasons.
    Stay in God's presence because revival comes from Him.
    Believe that restoration is possible even after great loss.
    Be patient with God's timing.
    Small beginnings can lead to great breakthroughs.
    Your restored life will glorify God and strengthen the faith of others.

    PRACTICAL APPLICATION
    Ask yourself:
    Are my spiritual roots still alive?
    Am I staying close to God through prayer and His Word?
    Am I trusting God's promises more than my present circumstances?
    Am I ready to recognize the new beginning God is bringing?
    Even if life has "cut you down," God can cause you to sprout again.

    SUMMARY.
    The enemy may have cut down your dreams, delayed your progress, or shaken your confidence, but he cannot destroy what God has planted.
    The same God who restored Job, raised Lazarus, revived dry bones, and restored Peter is still at work today.
    Your current season is not your final chapter.
    By the power of the Holy Spirit, new life will emerge from what seemed finished.
    Your joy will return, your calling will flourish, your faith will grow stronger, and your testimony will declare God's faithfulness.
    Remember God's promise: "For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again..." (Job 14:7, KJV).
    Declare by faith:
    I shall sprout again.
    My hope is alive in Christ.
    My dry season is coming to an end.
    God is restoring every area of my life.
    My latter days shall be greater than my former days.
    My testimony will bring glory to God.
    In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

    SHALOM.

  • THE BIBLICAL VIEW OF INSPIRATION, THE EXTENT OF INSPIRATION.

    THE BIBLICAL VIEW OF INSPIRATION.
    The biblical view of inspiration is called the Dynamic View. The Scriptures are the result of a divine-human relationship, as set forth in Hebrews 1:1. "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets." God did the speaking, but He did it through the prophets or through His instruments. Inspiration is a supernatural work of God in man, involving both divine and human elements, which produced an infallible record of the divine revelation.

    The Dynamic View holds all the elements together. God did the speaking, but He did it through His chosen vessels and their personalities. Their individualism is as clearly seen as their inspiration. The Holy Spirit moved on the writers in a dynamic way in harmony with their personalities but not completely suppressing them. God created men as it pleased Him, each man having traits of his own; and through these vessels He spoke His Word, using their lips, their minds, their gifts, their temperaments, and their personalities. Then, He breathed out to them His infallible Word. Another example is Nehemiah 9:30. "Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy Spirit in thy prophets." Nehemiah was saying that God spoke out against Israel in judgment by His Spirit in the prophets.

    In conclusion to this view it should be noted that the inspired Word, the Bible, can be compared to the incarnate Word, Jesus. In the incarnation of Christ the divine and human elements are blended; in the inspiration and the writing of Scripture the divine and human elements also come together into one.

    THE EXTENT OF INSPIRATION.
    In speaking of the extent of inspiration, this does not refer to how much of the Bible is inspired, because there are no degrees of inspiration. It is all inspired! The genealogy of chapter one of Matthew is as inspired as the account of Jesus' birth in chapter two. Chapter one shows Him to be a son of Abraham coming through the line of David; in chapter two, the birth narrative, He is seen to be the Son of God.

    Some believe that only the thoughts were inspired, and that God left the writers of Scripture completely free to choose their own words, their own ideas, and their own expressions. This view is incorrect because it is unrealistic. God reveals His thoughts to man through the media of words, just as man does in communicating with others. If God wished to convey His will and His Word to man in such a way that it could not be twisted and misinterpreted, He would have to inspire the very words. If He merely inspires thoughts, the writers would have to choose what they would say.

    The Scriptural view is the plenary verbal inspiration view. The term "plenary" means full, complete, entire, or absolute. This means that the entire Scriptures are inspired, not just a part; all Scripture is God-breathed (II Timothy 3:16). "Verbal" means that which is expressed in words; therefore, verbal inspiration means that God inspired the very words of the Bible and not merely the thoughts. Thus, plenary verbal inspiration means that the Scriptures in their entirety are the words of God; therefore, they are infallible and inerrant in the original autographs or manuscripts.

    God said to Jeremiah, "Go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.... I have put my words in thy mouth" (Jeremiah 1:7-9). He said the same thing to Moses in Exodus 4:10-12, "Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say." In Exodus 34:27-28 God told Moses to write the Ten Commandments. In Revelation 1:11 Jesus said to John, "What thou seest, write in a book." God told Ezekiel, "Speak my words" to the people (Ezekiel 2-3). Isaiah 2:1 and Amos 1:1 both speak of the words which the prophets saw. In II Samuel 23:1-2 David claimed to have been anointed and inspired with the very words of God. He said, "The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his word was in my tongue."

    Critics deny the plenary verbal inspiration view by saying that human agents wrote the Scriptures. Their contention is that all men are fallible; men wrote the Bible; so the Bible is fallible and is not inerrant in all of its words.

    In reply, one must distinguish between the prophet and his prophecy, between the writer and his writings. When the Bible speaks concerning inspiration, the emphasis is on the Scriptures themselves, on the writings and not on the writer. For instance, II Timothy 3:16 says that all Scripture is God-breathed, but it does not say a thing about the writer. Paul truly was inspired, but the thrust is upon the Scripture and not the author. "Prophecy came not in old time by the will of man" (II Peter 1:20-21). The emphasis is on prophecy. While the writers were sometimes inspired, their writings were always inspired. Yes, they were fallible men who could (and did) make mistakes; but their writings were God-breathed and, therefore, infallible. For example, when Peter denied the Lord, he certainly was not inspired of God; but he was inspired when he wrote his epistles.

    In summary, the Bible shows that all Scripture is God-breathed; consequently, when a man was writing Scripture, he was motivated and inspired by the Lord and recorded what God said to write. Edited. Shared.

    God willing, more will be posted soon. All glory to Jesus alone.

  • SERMON: HOW TO KNOW, RESIST AND DESTROY EVIL ALTARS
    Text: Judges 6:25-26 — "Tear down the altar of Baal that your father has, and build an altar to the LORD."
    Text 2: Acts 20:28 — "The church of God, which He obtained with His own blood."
    Key: Revelation 14:1-5 — As one of 144,000 sealed with Name of Jesus the Lamb on foreheads, blameless, firstfruits, alive with Lamb on Mt. Zion.

    INTRODUCTION:

    Church, an altar is a gate of transaction. Genesis 8:20 Noah built altar, God responded. Genesis 12:7 Abraham built altar where he settled, that land became protected.

    Evil altar is a demonic gate where Satan transacts against people, community, ministry. 1 Corinthians 10:20 — what they sacrifice they sacrifice to demons.

    God protects His people UNTIL they are sealed Rev 7:3. When sealed, they receive MORE divine shield — death is sent to unsealed, but sealed are safe from death Rev 9:4. We are that sealed people — looked after much more by God's love, devil cannot kill us, alive with Lamb on Mt. Zion, where we settle sea, trees, earth not allowed to be harmed until we are sealed.

    But many last age believers don't understand evil altars. but the 144000 will understand them, RESIST them, DESTROY them.

    PART 1: 6 EXAMPLES OF EVIL ALTARS — SO YOU CAN SEE THEM

    1. FAMILY / ANCESTRAL ALTAR
    Example: Judges 6:25 — "The altar of Baal that your father has." Gideon's own father had idol altar controlling family.
    Example: Numbers 23:1-3 — Balak told Balaam "Build me seven altars" to curse Israel.
    Signs: Hearing voices when no one present — "You will not marry, you will die like your father." Dreaming dead relatives calling you Deuteronomy 18:11 God forbids consulting dead. Near-success syndrome, backwardness Judges 6:3-4 Midianites destroyed harvest each time Israel planted. Constant misfortune in family.
    Intention: To keep you in cycle of fathers Exodus 20:5 — steal destiny.

    2. LAND / TERRITORIAL ALTAR
    Example: 1 Kings 18:19 — 450 prophets of Baal on high place controlling rain and territory. Daniel 10:13 — Prince of Persia — territorial spirit over land.
    Signs: Where you settle, business fails, ministry fights, same spot accidents, same sea storm like Bukasa. Mark 5:2 — man dwelling among tombs — territorial altar. Dreaming being pursued, dogs chasing.
    Intention: To claim ownership of where you settle Rev 7:3 says where sealed settle, earth, sea, trees cannot be harmed — but territorial altar tries to harm.

    3. MARINE / WATER ALTAR — SNAKES, PRESSING
    Example: 1 Samuel 5:2 — Dagon, god from sea, fell before Ark. Genesis 3:1 — serpent was marine.
    Signs: Dreaming snakes, water, swimming, mermaid, sex in dream, being pressed / choked in sleep, hearing voices near water or in night. Acts 8:7 — unclean spirits crying loud.
    Intention: To steal purity. Revelation 14:4 says 144,000 are undefiled virgins — not defiled — marine altar attacks purity.

    4. WITCHCRAFT / OCCULT ALTAR
    Example: Jeremiah 7:31 — Altar of Topheth where they passed children through fire. 2 Kings 23:10.
    Signs: Sickness defying medicine, objects moving, money disappearing, constant failure despite prayer. 1 Samuel 16:14 — Evil spirit tormented Saul.
    Intention: To kill John 10:10 — premature death, barrenness.

    5. DREAM POLLUTION ALTAR
    Example: Job 33:14-15 — God speaks in dream — Satan also pollutes dream.
    Signs: Eating in dream, sex in dream, seeing dead folks, snakes, dirty water, dogs. Matthew 13:25 — enemy sowed while men slept.
    Intention: To destroy through night transactions while you are unaware.

    6. MINISTRY OWNERSHIP ALTAR — "THIS CHURCH IS MINE" IMPLANT — ATTACKING MAJORITY PASTORS
    This is the altar that has bound many pastors in Kampala.

    Example: Diotrephes in 3 John 1:9 — "Who loves to have preeminence among them." Example: Ezekiel 28:2 — Prince of Tyre said "I am a god, I sit in seat of gods."

    But Bible says:
    Acts 20:28 — The church of God which He obtained with His own blood.
    Matthew 16:18 — I will build MY church — Not your church. MY church — Jesus speaking.
    1 Corinthians 6:19-20 — You are not your own, bought with price.
    Revelation 5:9 — By Your blood You ransomed people for God.

    How this altar works:
    A pastor enters church building at night and hears implant voice: "Leave, this church is mine, you will not build here." That is territorial altar that was there before church Acts 19:13-16 — demon said "Jesus I know, Paul I know, but who are you?"

    Or a family that gave land says "This church is on my land, so it is mine" — family altar speaking.

    Or pastor himself starts saying "MY church, MY members, MY ministry" — pride opens door to ownership altar, then God resists him James 4:6.

    Signs in ministry:
    Hearing voice in church: "This is my church"
    Fights over who owns church, constitution, money
    Church cannot grow beyond number — altar set limit
    Every new pastor chased away — founder spirit
    Members say "We are tired of this pastor, this is our fathers church"

    Intention: To steal what blood bought, to make Christ's church become man's property or demon's shrine. To destroy calling and make pastor blamable.

    PART 2: HOW WE RESIST THEM — AS 144,000 BLAMELESS FIRSTFRUITS

    1. KNOW YOU ARE SEALED BLAMELESS — NO LEGAL GROUND
    Revelation 14:4-5 — Not defiled, no lie in mouth, blameless. Psalm 24:3-4 — Clean hands, pure heart ascends.
    2 Corinthians 6:17 — Come out from among them. Stop fornication 1 Cor 6:15, stop consulting shrines Deut 18:10.
    Evil altar has no power on blameless life John 14:30 — Satan has nothing in Me — Jesus said.

    2. KNOW YOU HAVE HIGHER ALTAR — BLOOD OF JESUS THE LAMB
    Hebrews 12:24 — Blood of Jesus speaks better than blood of Abel and better than blood on evil altar.
    Colossians 2:14-15 — He cancelled record, disarmed rulers. Altar vs Altar — higher swallows lower Exodus 7:12.

    3. KNOW CHURCH BELONGS TO JESUS, NOT TO YOU, NOT TO ALTAR
    When implant says "This church is mine" — Answer: Matthew 16:18 — It is written — I will build MY church — You are liar! Acts 20:28 — This church is bought by blood of Jesus! I am only bondservant Revelation 7:3, not owner!

    PART 3: HOW WE DESTROY THEM — 4 WEAPONS OF SEALED 144,000

    All done at MIDNIGHT 12AM - 3AM Acts 16:25, with anointing oil on foreheads Rev 7:3, for 3 & 7 nights with fasting Matthew 17:21, and Holy Communion 1 Corinthians 10:18.

    WEAPON 1: BLOOD OF JESUS THE LAMB OF GOD
    Revelation 12:11 — Overcame by blood of Lamb and word of testimony.

    WEAPON 2: MIDNIGHT PRAYER WITH ANOINTING OIL ON FOREHEADS
    Acts 16:25-26 — At midnight Paul and Silas prayed and prison shook.
    Anoint foreheads — seal Revelation 7:3. Anoint doors of church, pulpit, land. Declare: This is sealed property of Jesus!

    WEAPON 3: FASTING 3 & 7 NIGHTS
    Matthew 17:21 — This kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.
    Esther 4:16 — 3 nights to break death decree. 7 nights for total destruction. Fasting makes you more blameless — lifestyle of 144,000.

    WEAPON 4: HOLY COMMUNION — RAISING ALTAR OF GOD
    1 Corinthians 10:18 — Those who eat sacrifices participate in altar.
    When you eat communion, you raise Altar of God inside you — your body is temple 1 Cor 6:19. Evil altar must bow. 1 Cor 10:21 — You cannot drink cup of Lord and cup of demons.
    SERMON: HOW TO KNOW, RESIST AND DESTROY EVIL ALTARS Text: Judges 6:25-26 — "Tear down the altar of Baal that your father has, and build an altar to the LORD." Text 2: Acts 20:28 — "The church of God, which He obtained with His own blood." Key: Revelation 14:1-5 — As one of 144,000 sealed with Name of Jesus the Lamb on foreheads, blameless, firstfruits, alive with Lamb on Mt. Zion. INTRODUCTION: Church, an altar is a gate of transaction. Genesis 8:20 Noah built altar, God responded. Genesis 12:7 Abraham built altar where he settled, that land became protected. Evil altar is a demonic gate where Satan transacts against people, community, ministry. 1 Corinthians 10:20 — what they sacrifice they sacrifice to demons. God protects His people UNTIL they are sealed Rev 7:3. When sealed, they receive MORE divine shield — death is sent to unsealed, but sealed are safe from death Rev 9:4. We are that sealed people — looked after much more by God's love, devil cannot kill us, alive with Lamb on Mt. Zion, where we settle sea, trees, earth not allowed to be harmed until we are sealed. But many last age believers don't understand evil altars. but the 144000 will understand them, RESIST them, DESTROY them. PART 1: 6 EXAMPLES OF EVIL ALTARS — SO YOU CAN SEE THEM 1. FAMILY / ANCESTRAL ALTAR Example: Judges 6:25 — "The altar of Baal that your father has." Gideon's own father had idol altar controlling family. Example: Numbers 23:1-3 — Balak told Balaam "Build me seven altars" to curse Israel. Signs: Hearing voices when no one present — "You will not marry, you will die like your father." Dreaming dead relatives calling you Deuteronomy 18:11 God forbids consulting dead. Near-success syndrome, backwardness Judges 6:3-4 Midianites destroyed harvest each time Israel planted. Constant misfortune in family. Intention: To keep you in cycle of fathers Exodus 20:5 — steal destiny. 2. LAND / TERRITORIAL ALTAR Example: 1 Kings 18:19 — 450 prophets of Baal on high place controlling rain and territory. Daniel 10:13 — Prince of Persia — territorial spirit over land. Signs: Where you settle, business fails, ministry fights, same spot accidents, same sea storm like Bukasa. Mark 5:2 — man dwelling among tombs — territorial altar. Dreaming being pursued, dogs chasing. Intention: To claim ownership of where you settle Rev 7:3 says where sealed settle, earth, sea, trees cannot be harmed — but territorial altar tries to harm. 3. MARINE / WATER ALTAR — SNAKES, PRESSING Example: 1 Samuel 5:2 — Dagon, god from sea, fell before Ark. Genesis 3:1 — serpent was marine. Signs: Dreaming snakes, water, swimming, mermaid, sex in dream, being pressed / choked in sleep, hearing voices near water or in night. Acts 8:7 — unclean spirits crying loud. Intention: To steal purity. Revelation 14:4 says 144,000 are undefiled virgins — not defiled — marine altar attacks purity. 4. WITCHCRAFT / OCCULT ALTAR Example: Jeremiah 7:31 — Altar of Topheth where they passed children through fire. 2 Kings 23:10. Signs: Sickness defying medicine, objects moving, money disappearing, constant failure despite prayer. 1 Samuel 16:14 — Evil spirit tormented Saul. Intention: To kill John 10:10 — premature death, barrenness. 5. DREAM POLLUTION ALTAR Example: Job 33:14-15 — God speaks in dream — Satan also pollutes dream. Signs: Eating in dream, sex in dream, seeing dead folks, snakes, dirty water, dogs. Matthew 13:25 — enemy sowed while men slept. Intention: To destroy through night transactions while you are unaware. 6.

  • WHEN I CALL UPON HIM, GOD DRAWNS NEAR

    Lamentations 3:57-58

    "On the day I called to you, you drew near; you said, 'Do not fear! Lord, you have pleaded my cause; you have redeemed my life.'"

    In the midst of his distress, Jeremiah remembered God's faithfulness. In his trial, he cried out to the Lord and discovered that God was not far away: He drew near, He reassured him, and He defended his cause.

    God's presence changes the reality of our struggles. He doesn't promise the absence of trials, but He promises not to abandon us in the midst of them.

    When we cry out to God, we are not speaking into the void. He draws near. He can say to our hearts, "Do not fear!" and take in hand what we are no longer able to bear.

    Do not let the Fear of abandonment. Call upon the Lord. Entrust your cause, your future, and your struggles to Him. You don't need to understand everything to continue hoping: the One who redeemed you watches over you.

    Lord, in my struggles, help me turn to You rather than to fear. Draw near to me, defend the cause of my soul, and teach me to remain in trust in the name of Jesus.
