THE CHILDREN’S BREAD
– MONTHLY DEVOTIONAL –
1st. October 2024
‘”He who dwells in the secret place of the Most-High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”
Surely, He shall deliver you from the snare of the Fowler And from the perilous pestilence.
He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day,
Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.
Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked.
Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most-High, your dwelling place,
No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.
In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.”‘
Psalm 91, NKJV.
Child of God Almighty, this we pray, in the name of God Most-High, through His Holy Lamb, YESHUA HAMASHIA, AMEN!!!
HAPPY New month to my precious ones everywhere, and for this month, I pray for you, that may the blessings, protection and love of God Almighty, be with you in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Happy INDEPENDENCE DAY NAIJA! It’s been one tough ride for us as a nation, yet, the good news is that we are still standing, though reeling, it seems! That notwithstanding, we are still here, thus, there is still hope even in the darkness, but only as long as we are diligent in seeking and accepting the TRUE LIGHT; the good and godly path which gives life and not unnecessary death. It is important for us to understand, that a 64 years old, is by no standard a spring chicken! Therefore, my wish for NAIJA, is that regardless of how bitter, or hard changing to a better direction, and for the purpose of a better future for us all, might be to our taste buds, yet, just like drinking that brutal herb, “agbo” is not what anyone of us loves to do freely, but realizing that it is necessary to confront that aggressive malaria when all else fails, we usually toughen up and drink it all the same! Likewise, we have to begin to act like a responsible 64 years old nation! Let us not forget, that we love to quote, that a fool at 40 is a fool forever, which from a godly perspective, I totally disagree with as it relates to the children of God Almighty, but that aside, the truth is just that, acting our age must not feel good to us before we begin to act like it!
Imagine a 64 years old man, perfectly dressed, looking fly, walking as though the world belongs to him alone, holding what looks like the most expensive business bag in his hand as he strides along, but only for you to come near him and see him opening up his briefcase and bringing out a whole DIAPER from it, the exact ones made for babies! Furthermore he turns around and tells you, “PLEASE CAN YOU CLEAN ME UP?!”
DISCLAIMER: Having said that, I am not talking about people who need special care because of the fact, that they are old, have disabilities, or are ill – No, those ones genuinely need such help, and no one should mock them for it, as we all at one point in our lives could be found in that situation. In contrary, I am literally talking about a healthy individual, who just refuses to learn the art of perfect hygiene, but would rather pay anything to anyone to clean up his mess, thereby, messing all others up, as well! This sounds weird right? Yes, it is!
THAT IS THE SCENARIO I WANT US TO REFLECT ON THIS MONTH as to begin to work on ourselves because I pray and believe, that this is not who we are in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
Child of God, with regards to MONTHLY DEVOTIONAL, till the first of next month.
Jesus loves you.
Yours Sister – Susan.
NOTE: From a human, and a layman’s perspective, as well as from the perspective of a woman, there is something, that I am still observing because it just doesn’t make sense to me….!!!
