Hallelujah! Today’s devotionals gives clarity to the impressions and word I have been getting in my spirit. Assurance in God’s word to step out even when I can’t see the full picture.

The first step is usually the hardest one. Thank God for the grace to move at His Word!

[Ukemeobong Michael]

In our contemplative prayers today we reflect and express our gratitude for God’s blessings:

Gracious Lord,

We thank You for the countless blessings You have bestowed upon us. For the gift of life, the love of family and friends, and the beauty of creation, we are eternally grateful.

Help us to recognize Your hand in all things and to live each day with a heart full of gratitude. May we never take for granted the small and large blessings that come our way.

Teach us to see Your goodness in every situation, even in the challenges we face. Let our lives be a reflection of Your love and mercy, and may our gratitude inspire others to seek You.

As we count our blessings, may we also be a blessing to those around us, sharing Your love and grace with a thankful heart.

In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

I love the part of remembering God’s mighty works. Just yesterday, I was faced with a roadblock that needed only a miraculous intervention of God otherwise I would lose a lot of my work, my request was rejected outrightly. I read a lot of information that only discouraged me and told me how impossible it would be for the decision to be in my favour because it was against their usual rules.

But I turned back to my relationship with God, what He told me regarding this issue and remembered how He came through for me in the past. I stayed on this, kept my peace and went back again.

When I showed up at the point of decision making, the same thing that was rejected only less than 24hours ago, was miraculously approved this time with commendations and the rules were overuled for me. Hallelujah.

I will remember His mighty works to stir my faith and not be too familiar with God that I take His instructions lightly. Amen

[Ukemeobong Michael]

Join in worship today. This is the song I have in my spirit this morning. Declare it over your life. God has never failed.

I love the subject of innovation especially as it relates to spiritual growth and evangelism. From childhood, the primary ways of evangelism included mainly, Street preachers using megaphones, radio programs and sharing paper tracts.

Then it evolved to preachings on Television with growing sophistication and attractions. Some ministries were able to use satellite technology as well typically, the Trinity broadcasting network (TBN), the Christian broadcasting network (CBN), Daystar etc.

With the advent of the Internet it has even become bigger with social platforms like Facebook, YouTube, tiktok, Instagram etc. being leveraged by Christians to share spiritual contents. Of course they have their demerits.

Now we have dedicated Christian platforms away from the distractions of secular media. Platform like the Youversion has made the bible more accessible. The Kingdom Life Platform is another one with focus on Christian discipleship content and connection of believers everywhere on the go. The Glorify app deals with mainly devotionals.

Now the Artificial Intelligence era is here and I can only imagine the possibilities.

I believe it’s our time to engage and leverage on these new discoveries for our spiritual growth and in spreading the gospel.

I’d like to know what other people think about these.

[Ukemeobong Michael]

I love this. It reminds me of earlier in the year when I had a prompting in my spirit to do something but I was not sure what exactly or how to go about. However I only knew the first instruction to move with. I spoke with my pastor about it and stepped out in faith. As the year progressed it became clearer. Waiting is not an inactive state but actively stepping out in faith to continue in what God has told you even when you don’t fully understand it, until clarity comes.

[Ukemeobong Michael]

We lose our minds trying to figure out how today’s challenges fit into our tomorrow. But trusting in God’s sovereignty knowing that it all fits into His perfect plan for us gives us confidence and hope that it will all work for our good. Hallelujah!

[Ukemeobong Michael]

Amen. When we discover ourselves in God’s plan, our work becomes rest. We stop struggling because God becomes the driver and we are passengers enjoying the ride and experiences with Him. We let go of the anxiety, comparisons and pursuit of self ambition and rest in God’s provision and sovereign purpose.

[Ukemeobong Michael]

Amen! Encouraging message.

[Ukemeobong Michael]

I love this. Each new day is a reminder that God starts afresh with us. He doesn’t hold yesterday against us or count the shortcomings. He is dependable and faithful to the end. All we need is to approach the throne of grace boldly to obtain the mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

This bible passage runs deep. Just as proverbs 3:5, says to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and not lean on our own understanding, acknowledging him in all our ways and He’ll make our path straight.

We only bear sustainable fruit when we draw our plans and purposes from the place of submission to His will.

My prayer is to stay conscious and sensitive to the leading of God everyday. Amen

[Ukemeobong Michael]

I’m glad it blessed you too. True. It’s a reminder to me as well on the need to stay on course despite adversity.

[Ukemeobong Michael]

Amen!
