“Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.”
MATTHEW 5:4
JOIN US NIGHTLY AS WE PREPARE FOR REST🙏🏾

DEVOTION
Based on Matthew 5
Jesus blesses what the world avoids. Mourning acknowledges loss, admits pain, allows tears. 'Blessed' means deeply happy—paradox of the kingdom. 'Shall be comforted' is divine guarantee. Not might be but shall be. Comfort matches mourning's depth. God collects tears in His bottle, counts sorrows in His book. Mourning isn't weakness but honesty that invites healing. Those who mourn meet the God of all comfort. Tears plant comfort's harvest.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: Comforting God, You bless mourners with promised comfort. You meet sorrow with supernatural solace. I worship You, divine Comforter.

CONFESSION: I confess avoiding mourning and missing comfort.

THANKSGIVING: Thank You for blessing and comforting those who mourn.

SUPPLICATION: Comfort every mourning heart today, including mine.

PRAYER
Give thanks to The Lord, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
PSALM 118:1
Let Your steadfast love surround me through the night and grant me peaceful rest till morning. Your enduring care is like an endless stream flowing and flourishing from Your fountain of faithfulness. In You, my heart finds ultimate rest. In Your infinite goodness, You protect and provide for my every need. May Your divine presence envelop me as I sleep. May the vastness of the heavens and glory of the earth remind me of Your everlasting power. Your love endures forever. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

While you cannot always predict what the next season will bring, or what it will look or feel like, you can count on this; things will not always stay the same. They must evolve. Your circumstances are always going to be changing. In order to make the most of each season, to see each season be fruitful despite your circumstances, you must allow joy to be your compass. Verse of the day...Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Worship will get you through the roughest times in your life because it shifts your focus from the problems to the problem solver. Verse of the day...Psalm 95:6-7 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, Have a Thankful Tuesday!

I used to have a childhood friend who would always say "I want to enjoy life very well first, then on my sick bed, when I'm very old, I'll say my last prayer and go to heaven".

We all grew up together and at some point, he became a cultist. He would do the most outrageous things. Eventually, he stopped listening to anyone, he became a terror. I was even scared of him cos he had a lot of ugly mark on this body, he was smoking right in our faces. Everyone knew him as a nuisance. He was really living 'his dream'. But guess what.. Today, that guy is dead! He probably troubled the wrong people and they came for him, shot him dead.

This is not a movie. It happened right before our eyes. We saw his co**se the day he died and it was the most tragic and traumatising thing. Especially because we don't know where he'd be spending eternity since he couldn't make it to a "dying bed".

What are you waiting for to accept Jesus?

Don't wait till it's too late for you. I remember, when we would tell Him about Jesus he would say "I've been hearing that Jesus is coming soon since I was small, till now, what is He waiting for? ". You probably have this thought too. But let me tell you this, He's waiting for you! God knows that the last day is going to be a great dooms-day for the rebels. They will cry rivers but there will be no salvation, they will pray for death but it won't come. It's going to be like that forever and ever. Just imagine it!

It's because of this that Jesus has waited so long. God in His infinite mercy has decided to hold up eternity, just for you!
Accept Jesus Christ today.
Jesus loves you.
Stop running away from Him.
John 3:3.

“My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.”
PSALM 62:5
DEVOTION
Based on Psalm 62
Self-talk that redirects hope. 'Wait thou only'—exclusive dependence, no backup plans. 'Expectation' means hope, anticipation, future. All eggs in one basket when that basket is God. The psalmist commands his own soul like a restless child—settle down, wait, expect. 'From him' identifies hope's sole source. Waiting isn't empty but expectant. When expectation focuses on God alone, disappointment becomes impossible. He exceeds our highest hopes.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: Worthy God, You deserve exclusive expectation. You are the sole source of real hope. I worship You, divine Fulfiller.
CONFESSION: I confess divided expectations between You and other sources.
THANKSGIVING: Thank You for being worthy of exclusive hope.
SUPPLICATION: Help my soul wait only on You with focused expectation today.
PRAYER
I love The Lord, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.
PSALM 116:1
Dear God, my soul has strayed from You. Comfort and peace have alluded me. I have searched for ways to return to You but to no avail. I may sleep tonight, but it will not be true rest. That only comes from You. I earnestly and eagerly ask that You restore my heart to You. Bring me back to a place of harmony with Your Spirit. I am tired and weary. May Your word be my bread. May Your Spirit be my water. May Your loving embrace and tender mercy be my rest. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

“Obedience to God often comes with a heavy price.”

Today’s daily devotional highlights Jesus’ agonizing prayer in Gethsemane and His arrest. Despite His deep sorrow, Jesus submitted to the Father’s will. Judas then arrived with armed men to betray Jesus, who willingly surrendered, emphasizing His resolve to fulfill God’s plan for our salvation.
STORY: The Word Will Be Fulfilled
Scripture
But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
Luke 22:48
Have you ever faced a moment of intense agony, knowing that the path ahead is filled with pain but also knowing it is necessary?

Jesus experienced this profoundly in the garden of Gethsemane. As He led His disciples to this quiet place, He began to pray earnestly, feeling the weight of the suffering He was about to endure. He asked His Father if it was possible to take away this cup of suffering but ultimately submitted to God’s will, saying, “Not my will, but thine, be done.”

What does this teach us about facing our own trials and challenges?

Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane shows us that it is natural to seek relief from suffering, but true faith is demonstrated in our willingness to submit to God’s plan, even when it is difficult. Have you ever struggled to align your desires with God’s will?

As Jesus finished praying, Judas arrived with a small group of armed men to arrest Him. Judas’ betrayal, marked by a kiss, set the plan into motion. Despite the disciples’ initial resistance, Jesus willingly surrendered, highlighting His commitment to fulfill the Scriptures and His mission to save humanity.

In this act of surrender, we see the depth of Jesus’ love and His determination to complete the work His Father sent Him to do.

How do we react when we feel betrayed or when circumstances turn against us? Jesus’ example teaches us to trust in God’s greater plan, even in the face of betrayal and suffering. Can you find the strength to trust God’s plan, even when it leads through the valley of hardship?

REFLECTION
Remember Jesus’ example of obedience and trust, and let it inspire you to face your challenges with faith and courage.

Reach out to someone who might be feeling betrayed or in agony and offer them support and encouragement, reminding them of Jesus’ steadfast love and ultimate victory.
 Make it a great day and that the choice is yours.🕊

“Great is thy faithfulness.”
LAMENTATIONS 3:23
SO AS WE PREPARE TO REST FOR THE NIGHT , LET US REMEMBER TO CLOSE OUT OUR DAY WITH THANKSGIVING 🙏🏾

DEVOTION
Based on Lamentations 3
Three words from rubble's midst. Jeremiah watches Jerusalem burn yet declares divine faithfulness. 'Great' means abundant, more than enough. Not measured faithfulness but overflowing faithfulness. The prophet's circumstances scream abandonment; his faith sees faithfulness. God's faithfulness isn't circumstantial but constitutional—it's who He is, not what He does. Every sunrise proves it, every breath confirms it. When everything fails, faithfulness remains. Great faithfulness meets life's greatest failures.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: Faithful God, Your faithfulness towers above life's ruins. Nothing diminishes Your steadfast love. I worship You, greatly faithful Lord.

CONFESSION: I confess questioning Your faithfulness in difficult seasons.

THANKSGIVING: Thank You that Your faithfulness is great beyond measure.

SUPPLICATION: Show me Your great faithfulness in today's challenges.

PRAYER
Not to us, oh Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.
PSALM 115:1
Dear Lord, I pray You would bless me with a calm spirit and a serene mind. Help me find stillness amidst this world's chaos and trust in Your infinite goodness and wisdom. Even though I know I am flawed and have failed, I humbly ask for Your favor. From Your wellspring of kindness and grace, adorn me with blessings. May the peace of Your presence fill my heart, and may the light of Your grace guide my path. Thank You, O Lord, for Your unending love and mercy, and may Your blessings overflow in all areas of my life. I will not wait for You anxiously. I have seen Your power, love, glory, and faithfulness! I trust and believe that You will move to bless me. I trust that Your name will elevate my life and that the good work You began will be completed. Cause a deep slumber to envelop me tonight, for I know I can rest in Your promises. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.
