I WILL PRAISE YOU, 

Lord my God, with all my heart; 

I will glorify your name forever.

Dear Beloved, 

In our day much emphasis is placed on keeping physically t. 

Most of us have seen joggers along the road, running as hard as 

they could go, tongue hanging out of the mouth, sweating, 

panting, and plugging along. Some physical exercise is 

necessary and should be practiced on a regular basis, but the 

Bible says that spiritual exercise should be pursued even more 

rigorously. Time spent in prayer and Bible study and 

meditation and Scripture memorization will bring spiritual 

pro t now, and will yield rich rewards throughout eternity. 

Every one of us needs to strive to stay in top spiritual condition 

through the discipline of daily devotional exercise. The 

absence of private daily devotions is the number one reason 

for backsliding among professing Christians. The practice of 

daily private devotions goes by several names, manna in the 

morning, the daily watch, the quiet time, DAILY 

ENCOURAGER DEVOTIONAL, individual worship, but 

regardless of what you call it, seeing that it becomes a regular 

practice is highly important. 

God truly has great things in store for you! Spend time with 

Him, nd out what those things are, and then go out and 

possess them in the Name of Jesus! MAY YOU face the 

MONTH OF OCTOBER with a greater amount of con dence.

Today's Scripture 

“The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to 

overthrow the wicked.” 

Proverbs 24:16 

GET UP AND GOD UP! 

A Spiritual or a physical knockdown can change your life. Sometimes we are 

living life according to our own plans and desires, thinking we are serving 

God, but we really need spiritual knockout to get on the right path. 

Saul who was later known as Paul was knocked down by the power of God on 

his way to Damascus. Sometimes we need a spiritual knockdown, but we also 

need to get up. He picked himself up: Saul did not lay there pitying himself or 

his wounds, he got up. When you ve been knocked down, do you know how to 

get back up again? As human beings, we are all going to feel defeated at some 

point in our lives. But as followers of Jesus, we don t have to stay there. Learn 

how to persevere with the help of the Holy Spirit. 

There are no stains on the pages of tomorrow. You can have a fresh start 

today! Maybe you ve failed who hasn t? Pick up the broken pieces, and bring 

them to the Lord. Pick up the broken pieces, trust in His Holy Word. He will 

put you back together, and make your life complete. Just lay the broken pieces 

at the Savior s feet. 

Remember, as a believer in Jesus, the same power that raised Christ from the 

dead lives on the inside of you. There is no challenge too dif cult, no obstacle 

too high, no sickness, no disappointment, no person, nothing that can keep 

you from your God-given destiny. If you stay in faith, then God will turn what 

was meant to be a stumbling block into a stepping stone, and you ll move 

forward in strength, full of faith and victory! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Dear Father, thank 

You for setting me up 

for every good works 

and success in all I do. 

Thank you for putting 

in me the resurrection 

p o w e r o f G o d . I 

choose to trust and 

rely on You knowing 

that there is always a 

Getting up for me in 

every situation. In 

Jesus name. Amen!

THE DAILY ENCOURAGER 



“Therefore, since God in His mercy has given us this new way, we never give up.” 

2 Corinthians 4:1 

THE SUN WILL SHINE AGAIN! 

Even A er The Worst Storms, The Sun Will Shine Again. 

No matter what your darkness, a cry for help will touch Gods heart and 

He will lead you from darkness into light. When you are in the midst of a 

storm, don t stop, don t rush ahead; keep alert, look straight ahead, 

press on and pray! Behind every storm God brings at least a little 

sunshine. 

Maybe you re living through a more gurative storm. Maybe the rains 

haven t let up in your life for longer than you care to remember. Maybe 

you ve been caught by a sudden, raging storm that s showing no signs of 

letting up. Be assured, behind every storm God brings at least a little 

sunshine. I am positive the rain will clear, the sun will shine, and God's 

promises are true. Hold onto hope and remember God is there with you 

in the storm, even when the skies seem dark. 

You ll make it through your darkest hour. Jesus will be your friend; The 

Holy Ghost will give you power! So whatever challenge you may face, 

don t give up, keep the faith. Put your trust in Him, surely, your Sun will 

shine again, never give up. Have con dence, He knows your way, He 

sees your pain, He hasn t forgotten you, and He s still at work, even 

through the most dif cult of times. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Thank you Lord for your 

reassuring Word that says 

t h a t T H E S U N W I L L 

SHINE AGAIN. Thank you 

that this storm will not last 

forever, but I am only 

passing through. Thank 

you that You are still at 

work through the most 

dif cult times in my life. 

You know my journey 

better than I know it 

myselves, and you will use 

this time of testing for 

good. 

Amen! 

In Jesus name.

OCTOBER 



“... Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed 

in the last time.” 

1 Peter 1:5 

KEPT BY THE POWER OF GOD! 

Our protection comes from God. More speci cally, from the power of 

God. The heart of God as your Father towards you is always that you 

would be taken care of and protected from the things that would try to 

destroy you. 

You can t effectively make it on your own without the protection of the 

Lord, that is simply not possible. We need Gods power and protection 

at every stage of life. Protection is important. Some people put their 

trust in themselves. It s like being self-insured or self-employed. If 

anything happens, you bear the cost yourself. But the Lord is saying, I 

want to keep you. I guarantee to keep you. It is My purpose to keep you, 

and your part is simply to put your trust in Me. As you do this you will be 

shielded by Gods power until the coming of the salvation 

We are indeed kept by the power of God. We are secure because of Gods 

integrity, He will keep His promises; we are secure because of the 

presence of the Holy Spirit, He seals us; we are secure because of the 

prayers of God, He saves us to the uttermost. Let us give ourselves fully 

to God and learn to hear His voice and be obedient to His directions, we 

can walk in con dence that He is protecting us...and leading us down 

paths that are truly good for us! 

Come what may, you will be kept by the power of God day by day, come 

what may. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Heavenly Father, today I 

set my heart and mind on 

You. I choose to trust that 

You are always there for 

me. You were with me in 

my past and you are with 

me in my present and my 

future, protecting and 

k e e p i n g m e b y y o u r 

power. Thank you for 

caring for me. I stand 

strong on Your Word today 

knowing that I am being 

kept by the power of God, 

in Jesus name. Amen!"

“I will lift up my eyes to the hills -From whence comes my help? My help comes 

from the Lord. Who made heaven and earth.” 

Psalm 121: 1-2 

GOD WILL FIX IT FOR YOU! 

Anytime you are facing an issue, the rst thing you should do before you 

call your friend, before you search the internet should be to simply look 

up. When you look up with your spiritual eyes toward God, that s when 

you have your perspective in the right place. That s when His love will 

empower you and lead you. He already has the answer to your problems 

anyway. When you look to Him, you ll nd help! 

Looking up to God as our help changes our perspective on ourselves 

and the life that we live. Look up unto Him who is able to supply our 

every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Look up unto 

Him who has promised to never leave us nor forsake us. Look up unto 

Him who is the Righteous Judge, Look up unto Him from whence 

cometh our help, because God can open doors no human being can 

shut, and God can make a way out of no way. Look up because God is still 

on the throne, Look up because all power is still in His hands. Look up 

The devil has already been defeated. Look up because we are more than 

conquerors through Him who loves us! 

Don t let the enemy distract you with the cares of this earthly realm. Just 

look up by keeping your heart and mind focused on Him. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, I know that when I 

keep my mind stayed on 

You, I will 

nd peace in 

the midst of the storm. 

Thank You for giving me 

the answers I need and for 

being my help in troubled 

times in Jesus name. 

Amen.

“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have PEACE..” 

John 16:33 

FIND PEACE IN GOD! 

PEACE is my rst name and I love it. It has never crossed my mind to 

change it. I am not a perfect human being, but I have strive for peace my 

entire life. 

In Jesus, Peace; In the World, Tribulation. But take heart, dear beloved; 

the peace that Jesus gives is far greater than any tribulation. Peace with 

one another means being in a right relationship with one another. 

Peace within means being alright within, and peace with God means 

being alright with God. 

Some people assume they would have PEACE if they had, a decent 

salary, a nice home to live in, no sickness or being ill, plenty of food for 

everyone. These things are not unimportant! God expects us to try and 

make many of these things a reality, but the truth is that these things 

won't bring PEACE, PEACE with God will bring them! If these things 

alone are the foundation of our peace we will be frustrated constantly 

and never nd PEACE! 

A relationship with God which is a relationship of Peace is available for 

each one of us who know Him. Peace is there for the taking. Nothing 

can rob you of your peace, because it is based on what Jesus has already 

done, not on who we are or what we have done, or the circumstances we 

nd ourselves in. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Heavenly Father, thank 

You fo r Your p e r fe c t 

peace. Even when things 

don t make sense, I choose 

to trust You. Even when I 

don t feel victorious, I 

know that with You, I am 

always an overcomer. I 

choose to put my faith and 

h o p e i n Y o u t o d a y 

knowing that I will never 

be disappointed in Jesus 

name. Amen.

“And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father 

saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him” 

Luke 15:20 

YOU CAN GO BACK HOME AGAIN! 

At one time or another, we have all been like the prodigal son. We have 

all gone our own way. But God is not looking to condemn us but is 

waiting for our return to Him. He can't force us to come because that 

would violate our freedom of choice. But He is waiting anxiously for the 

return of every lost child who is wandering aimlessly without hope and 

without a Father's love. 

God is not like our earthly fathers, for He is the perfect father and He 

loves us perfectly. If we come home, we won't nd rejection and 

punishment, rather hugs and kisses. 

If you have strayed away from the Father's love, He is waiting for you 

with arms outstretched. He has a special robe with your name on it. He 

wants to put His ring of authority on your nger and sandals for your 

tired road-weary feet. Father is waiting for you to come home so He can 

throw you a party! So don't waste any more time, come home to the love 

that you have been looking for all your life. 

My friend, It doesn't matter where you have gone, what you have done 

or how long you have been away. Your Heavenly Father will welcome 

back home today! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, I acknowledge that 

even though I have sinned 

and turned away from 

Your love, You continue to 

call me home. I am not 

wo r t hy t o b e e ve n a 

servant, yet You call me 

Your beloved child. Your 

love has won my heart, so 

I return into Your loving 

arms. It's good to be home, 

in Jesus mighty name. 

Amen!

He said “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is 

right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, then I will not make 

you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the LORD who heals 

you.” 

Exodus 15:26 

HEALING IS YOURS! 

Healing belongs to us. Jesus is our Healer; His work on the cross is 

nished. Let us believe God for divine health. 

We all need healing at various times in our lives. No matter your 

af iction; emotional, mentally, physical, or spiritual. If you need 

healing in any area of your life today, listen carefully to God by reading 

the Bible, by communicating with Him in prayer and by seeking godly 

counsel. Maybe you ve fallen recently and it feels like you ve crashed so 

quickly you don t even know what happened, turn to God right now. 

Be encouraged to reach out to Jesus for your healing and trust in Him to 

heal you in any area of your life that needs healing. If you want to 

prosper in your health? Seek Gods Word about healing. If the doctor has 

given you a bad report regarding your health, don t despair. Look to 

Jesus and expect healing for your body. He is the same yesterday, today 

and forever. 

I believe God is saying this is a MONTH of Yes : YES to your healing, 

YES to your hurts, YES to your brokenness. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, I thank you that 

you are the Lord who 

heals me. Thank you that 

no matter what the need; 

physical, e m otional, 

mentally or spiritually, 

you are the Lord who 

heals me. I declare YES 

into every areas of my life. 

YES to divine healing in 

my body, In Jesus' name. 

Amen!

“What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?” 

Romans 8:31 

THE UNSTOPPABLE YOU! 

Gods favor, love, and grace tops everything because there is no one or 

nothing greater than God. When God is for you, no one can be against 

you because there is nothing greater or more powerful than God. 

God is for us. Don t ever doubt it. Sometimes it may seem as if God 

doesn't care. The storms come and we wonder where He is. We are 

overwhelmed with life's duties and wonder where our help is. Maybe 

you have felt like the Psalmist who wrote these words: How long, O 

LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face 

from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have 

sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? 

None of us are immune from dif culties and heartache. All of us fall on 

hard times and have moments when we wonder God, are you there? 

Do you see what s happening to me? 

Gods love is steadfast, never ending, and unconditional. It is in times of 

waiting that we need to remember all that God has already done for us. 

He sent His son, Jesus, as a baby Immanuel God with us, who went 

to the cross and paid for all of our sins. That is enough to rest and 

rejoice in. 

God is for us. Don t ever doubt it. Trust and obey Him and you ll discover 

how much HE IS FOR YOU! And with God on your side, you are headed 

for victory all the days of your life! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, I thank You for 

being for me and not 

against me. I believe that 

Your love causes all things 

to work together for my 

good. I renounce every lie 

that says that You are 

against me and not for me. 

Jesus demonstrated Your 

l o ve fo r m e a n d h a s 

convinced me of Your 

unfailing acceptance and 

affection. I thank You that 

I will be forever Your 

child. In the name of Your 

beloved Son Jesus I pray, 

AMEN.

“May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the 

name of our God. May the LORD answer all your prayers” 

Psalm 20:5 

THE LORD OUR BANNER OF VICTORY! 

The Lord is our banner. He protects us; He covers us with love; He 

blesses us continually. The Lord gives us hope and a place to focus 

during the tough ghts when the enemy is trying to make us doubt Gods 

promises. 

We can win the battles we face in life if we will always remember that 

the Lord is our banner. Just as Davod did, we must persistently 

surrender all that we are to the Lord and recognize our dependence on 

Him. 

Is God truly the banner that represents every area of your life? Are you 

living for him rst and foremost? Or is he sometimes replaced by your 

devotion to other people or things, self, relationships, ambition 

doctrine peace at any cost. Today re ect on some of the things that may 

replace God as your banner and remind ourselves to refocus on him. 

When we are willing to stay focused on Him and recognize Him as our 

source, He will bring victory in our lives by answering our prayers. 

Victory only comes under the banner of the Lord. We cannot lose in 

Gods strength. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Lord, I thank you that you 

a r e m y b a n n e r . 

Sometimes I choose not to 

walk under your banner. 

Instead, I put my faith in 

myself or other people or 

things 

instead of you. I 

put my desires above 

yours. Please forgive me 

and help me stay under 

your banner. In Jesus' 

name

“Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight 

yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.” 

Psalm 37:4-5 

DELIGHT AND DESIRE! 

Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desire of your 

heart" YES! But, the secret to receiving is found rst in "delighting 

ourselves in the Lord!" 

God places in our hearts the desires He wants us to have, and when we 

delight ourselves in Him, then He will give us these desires freely, 

holding nothing back. 

Our delight must be in the Lord rather than in things, people or 

ourselves. He alone has to be the centre point of our affection. This 

world can never satisfy our deepest longings, but if we choose to delight 

in Gods way, He will open a door of opportunity and blessing for us that 

no man can shut. 

I encourage you to commit everything you do to Him because He truly 

does desire to do good things for you. When you are willing to commit 

all that you have to the Lord, He will mold it and make it into something 

that is both beautiful and useful for your good and His glory. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, I humbly come to 

You today giving You all 

that I am. Thank You for 

ful lling every desire in 

my heart. Mold me and 

shape me into Your image. 

Remove anything from 

my life that is displeasing 

to You so that everything I 

am brings glory to You in 

Jesus name. Amen. 

13




And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that 

you need, you will abound in every good work. 


OUR GOD OF MORE THAN ENOUGH! 

We serve a God of More Than Enough, who does not just bless us, but He 

always gives more than enough! 

When you come to the place where He is all you have, you will nd that 

He is all you need! He is more than enough. But Jesus wants us to learn 

how to trust in Him. Jesus wants us to learn how to rely on Him. Jesus 

wants us to learn that He wants to glorify Himself through us. 

Beloved, see Gods heart for you today. He wants to prosper you. Don t 

settle for anything less, thinking that He only supplies your needs and 

not your wants. If you need a job, know that He wants you to pray not 

just for a job, but for a position. When you have a position, you have 

in uence and you are able to impact lives. Maybe what you need is a pay 

increment. Then, pray not just for that, but also to be in a position to 

give increments! 

What do you need today? What are the desires of your heart? Gods grace 

is suf cient. He is able to make all grace abound so that in all times, you 

have everything you need. Trust Him to bring increase in unexpected 

ways! Remember, you cannot remain in lack when you follow the God 

of more than enough. In fact, He will supply more than what you need 

and beyond what you have asked! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, I believe that You 

are the God of more than 

enough. Today, I receive 

Your Word and choose to 

have an attitude of faith 

and expectancy. Thank 

You for Your goodness and 

faithfulness to me. In 

Jesus Name. Amen.

“O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the 

clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.” 

Jeremiah 18:6 

YOU ARE A USEFUL DESPITE THE CRACKS! 

God does not look to nd those who are the elites and those who are the 

most skilled. Rather He looks for the weak and insigni cant who trust 

in Him. God uses broken pots and vessels, He uses imperfect people 

who trust in a perfect God. Men throw broken things away, but God 

never, He uses broken things for His honor and glory. 

We are all broken in one way or the other, and if we allow God who has 

already chosen us in our brokenness, we, too, can be blessed and God 

can create beauty despite all our cracks and brokenness. 

God will use the brokenness in your life for His glory. Your weakness 

and fragility becomes the powerful testimony of how God uses ordinary 

people for His purposes. It is then that imperfections become glorious! 

God can take you right now where you are and make out of your life 

another vessel. God can mend a broken life if you give Him all the 

pieces. Just turn it over to Him and say, "Here it is, Lord." God wants to 

give you a second chance. 

You are useful despite the cracks! Don't give up! God SPECIALIZES in 

broken things! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, thank You for 

loving me and setting me 

free. Thank You for being 

my vindicator. I choose to 

release every broken part 

of my life to you. Mend my 

life and use me. I trust you 

will make all things new in 

Your time in Jesus name. 

Amen. 

15




“And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, 

which have been given to us in Christ Jesus” 

Philippians 4:19 

HE WILL SUPPLY YOUR EVERY NEED! 

One of the greatest promises of God is one of the most o en repeated 

promises. And that promise is that God will meet every single one of 

your needs. That promise is so all-inclusive that every other promise of 

God ts under its umbrella! 

In view of life s dif cult circumstances many of us must wonder from 

time to time whether or not God really cares for us or not. All of us have 

had perplexing situations that we have had to deal with. All of us have 

had needs which we have earnestly prayed over. I want you to know 

today that GOD WILL SUPPLY! There s nothing you need that God can t 

provide. You don t know what you re going to need the rest of this year. 

But whatever it is, God has the power to supply it. 

Trust God to meet EVERY need in your life today. He wants to be your 

healer, comforter, wisdom, peace, joy, anything and everything you 

need. He wants you to live in His grace, forgiveness, mercy and 

strength. Rest in Him with con dence that He is THE LORD YOUR 

SUPPLIER! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, thank you for all 

you have given me and 

will give me. You have not 

only supplied my every 

need but you have given 

m e u n t o l d r i c h e s i n 

Christ. Help me to live as 

one so blessed that I can 

say with Paul, "My God 

will meet all your needs 

according to the riches of 

His glory in Christ Jesus. 

Amen! 

16




“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special 

people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His 

marvelous light.” 

1 Peter 2:9 

YOU ARE ELECTED... YOU ARE CHOSEN! 

Jesus was rejected by men, but He was chosen by God, and precious. 

You too may have been rejected by people, but you are chosen by God! 

Most of us spend our entire lives trying to earn acceptance. We want to 

earn it from our parents, peers, spouse, people we respect, and even 

people we envy. The desire to be accepted drives us to do all kinds of 

things. It can in uence the kind of clothes you wear, the kind of car you 

drive, the kind of house you buy, even the career you choose. 

Let these words sink down deep in your heart today. Realize that 

because of Jesus, there is greatness on the inside of you. As you study 

and meditate on the Word of God, you will realize your true potential. 

You ll discover who you really are so you can live the good life He has 

called you to! 

The problem is that you re still trying to prove yourself to your friends. 

You re still trying to earn their acceptance, but in all likelihood, you re 

not going to get their approval if they haven t given it to you by now, 

because that s their problem. The good news is this; You don t need it to 

be happy! There are 6 billion people in the world. If two or ve people 

don t like you, who cares? As a part of Gods family, YOU HAVE BEEN 

ELECTED AND ACCEPTED BY GOD! 

Prayer 

For The Day

“In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my 

soul..” 

Psalm 138:3 

IN THE EYES OF THE TEARS! 

Everybody has cried at some time or the other. Some may cry o en with 

their tears being visible, while others may cry only on the inside, with 

no visible sign of tears 

The Bible talks a lot about tears. It tells us that the Lord Jesus wept 

publicly at the funeral of Lazarus, and that He also prayed with tears. 

Jesus also said, Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh 

Maybe you are looking for healing through your tears that can bring 

reconciliation for a broken relationship? Remember how God healed 

the relationship between Joseph and his terri ed brothers in the midst 

of tears. He can do the same for you. Or is it that like Peter, you are 

looking for healing for some failure through tears of repentance. Once 

again, the Lord can bring the needed healing into your life as He did for 

Peter and for Josephs family. 

Keep your eyes on God when tears cloud your vision, Keep your eyes on 

God for healing through your tears, Keep your eyes on God when 

sowing in tears and most especially, Keep your eyes on God because He 

will permanently wipe away your tears 

Let us therefore nd victory through our tears, by keeping our eyes on 

Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. 

Prayer 

For The Day

my vindicator. Thank you 

for the tears I share openly 

and secretary. I choose to 

release every hurt, pain

You will make all things

tears will never be in vain, 

in Jesus name. Amen!

“....Because the Arameans think the LORD is a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, 

I will deliver this vast army into your hands, and you will know that I am the LORD.” 

1 Kings 20:28 

GOD OF THE MOUNTAIN & THE VALLEY TOO! 

Gods Love and His power are with his children whether we are on the 

mountaintop or in the valley deep. 

God was on the mountaintop with Moses in all His glory and majesty as 

He gave us the 10 commandments, and God was down in the valley with 

Israel and it s sin. God was on the mountaintop with David in Israels 

camp as fear reigned over Israel as they faced the Philistines, and down 

in the valley with Goliaths threats when God guided Davids stone into 

the forehead of the giant. 

Praise God that He is in your valleys as well as your mountains. When 

you re down, when you re feeling low, when you re defeated, when 

you re sick, when you re weak, when you re downcast, when you re 

discouraged, when I m doubting, GOD IS STILL THERE! He has 

promised to never leave us nor forsake us but to be with us until the end! 

His promises are true regardless of how I feel! 

I believe that many of our valley experiences are the result of our own 

doing. But through it all He can take our scrambled eggs and shattered 

eggshell of our lives and put them all back together again and make 

them even better than before! 

You have no valleys he can t bring you out of. You have no mountains 

that He can t bring low. He is your foundation, your rock, your fortress 

and your strength! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father in heaven, thank 

You for Your faithfulness 

today. Thank you for being 

with me on the mountain 

and in the valley. There 

are no valleys I ve been 

through that you have not 

brought me out from. I 

praise you for being by my 

s i d e a n d h ave n e ve r 

forsaken me in Jesus 

name. Amen!

“If they want to brag, they should brag that they understand and know me. They should 

brag that I, the LORD, act out of love, righteousness, and justice on the earth. This kind 

of bragging pleases me, declares the LORD.” 

Jeremiah 9:24 

THE ONLY THING WORTH BRAGGING ABOUT! 

What you brag about shows where your con dence is. If you brag in 

earthly things that fade away, your con dence will fade away with 

them. But when you brag in the Lord, when you declare His greatness, 

your con dence is secure in Him. 

Your praise is one way to brag in the Lord. When you open up your 

mouth and declare His goodness and faithfulness, something happens 

on the inside of you. Praise is direct connection to the heart of God. 

Praise precedes the Victory and invites Gods presence to manifest in 

your life. 

God tells us something amazing about Himself in this verse. Not only is 

He loving, just, and righteous, but He delights in showing us who He is. 

He is the God who loves us completely and wants to individually and 

personally meet our deepest needs. 

Brag in that truth today. Tell others of His goodness. Declare His praises 

everywhere you go. Thank Him for the life He s given you and the plans 

He has for you. Know that He desires to demonstrate His unfailing love 

for you! I encourage you today to brag in God continually, and give 

thanks to His name forever. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, forgive me for the 

many times I boasted 

about things of this world. 

Thank you for teaching 

me what to boast of. I will 

boast of your goodness 

and mercies in my life. I 

w i l l b o a s t o f y o u r 

righteousness and I will 

boast of your unfailing 

love, in Jesus mighty 

name. Amen!

“The first time I was brought before the judge, no one came with me. Everyone 

abandoned me. May it not be counted against them. But the Lord stood with me and gave 

me strength so that I might preach the Good News in its entirety for all the Gentiles to 

hear. And he rescued me from certain death” 

2 Timothy 4:16-17 

NEVER ALONE AGAIN! 

Loneliness is one of the most heart wrenching feelings you can 

experience. You do not have to be alone to feel alone. You can feel lonely 

in a crowd. It is not the number of people around you that determines 

your loneliness , it is your relationship to them. 

When you re lonely, where is God? He s where He has always been: right 

beside you. He is with you even if you don t feel it. The Bible says over 

and over that if you have a relationship with Christ, then God is with you 

all the time. He s always with you. You re never really fully alone. 

Whenever you are feeling lonely it may be that you lack good Christian 

fellowship. The Apostle Paul warns, "Let us consider how we may spur 

one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting 

together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one 

another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Loneliness 

is a time to become better acquainted with God. In your season of 

loneliness, you need to recognize Gods presence. 

I don t know about you, but my days of loneliness are over!! I now feel 

secured, special, and saved. For living He loved me, dying He saved me, 

rising He took all my sins far away. And now I m never alone. In the 

midnight hour, I m not alone. When trials knock on my door, I m never 

alone. Thank God for always being by my side. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Gracious Lord, let us 

follow in the steps that 

you would have us tread. 

Help us to always trust in 

your power and grace to 

guide our pathways and 

to strengthen our hearts 

and our bodies when we 

become weary or fall. 

Give us new awareness of 

your presence, that we 

may always walk in your 

work and, as the 

psalmists of old, let us 

sing songs of praise to 

you, Lord. Amen.

“The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” 

Psalm 23:1 

KEEP THE LORD AS YOUR SHEPHERD! 

As you know, David was himself a shepherd. He was known as the 

"Shepherd King" of Israel. But he saw Jehovah, the Lord God of Israel, as 

his shepherd. He speaks in this psalm as if he was one of the ock, one 

of the sheep. And it is as though he literally boasted aloud, "Look who 

my shepherd is; my owner, my manager! The Lord is!" 

A sheep is under the care of the shepherd and follows the shepherd. We 

must be submitted to the Lord as our shepherd and follow Him. We 

should not live any way we want and go wherever we want. We must 

follow the Lord and be under His care. Then we have the promise that 

we shall not want or lack anything because the Lord will take care of us 

like a shepherd. 

The Lord desires to be our shepherd. He wants to bless us. He wants to 

care for us. When we fully and totally make the Lord our Shepherd, we 

shall not lack any provision of needs in this life. We shall not be in need 

of anything. But must have a relationship with the Lord as our 

Shepherd, and submit to His direction, His leading and realize that we 

don t know the way through this crooked path and that since we don t 

know the way, we need a Shepherd that does know the way. We must 

look to Jesus for our guidance through this world in which we are. 

The LORD is our ONLY trusted GOOD SHEPHERD, who will never ever 

give up on us. 

Prayer 

For The Day

rest. Today I surrender my 

brokenness to You and 

open my heart to receive

“And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death 

nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about 

tomorrow--not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love” 

Romans 8:38 

THERE IS NO SEPARATION WHATSOEVER! 

We cannot be separated from the love that is working all things together 

for our good and from the love that is determined to make you us like 

Christ. God has said it. His plans are all being accomplished. His 

resources are all focused on that. God has made up His mind. We 

cannot be separated from the love that spared not His own Son. 

That is the assurance that the child of God can have; Gods love will 

never fail. It does not mean that we do not have trials in this world. It 

does not mean that we are not persecuted. 

People may come and go from your life, but God is always with you. He 

will never leave you nor forsake you. His love goes way beyond any 

human love you have ever experienced. Human love may be 

conditional, but Gods love is supernatural; it s unconditional and 

knows no limits. There s nothing you can do to earn His love and 

nothing you can do to stop His love. 

Regardless of what you are facing in your life today, Gods love is with 

you; and nothing will ever be able to disconnect you from this awesome, 

powerful, all consuming love! 

As you allow Him to ood you with His love, your faith will be ignited, 

and you ll be empowered to live the abundant life He has for you! 

Prayer 

For The Day

God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM 

has sent me to you.” 

Exodus 3:14 

THE UNCHANGEABLE I AM ! 

I AM ALWAYS WITH YOU! I Am remains unchanged! I Am keeps keeps 

every promise. 

We serve a great and mighty God! He is the Creator of the universe, the 

one who spoke the worlds into existence. He s called the Great I AM, and 

He s saying today, I am everything you need. I am your strength. I am 

your wisdom. I am your protection. I am your provider. I am your way 

maker. I am your problem solver. I am your dream giver. I am your 

victory! 

His love for us remains the same. Our love might grow cold. We might 

sin against God, we might even forget God for a little bit, but He never 

forgets us. We might not love God with all of our heart and soul and 

mind all the time, but God loves us because He does not change. He 

provides for us, He protects us; He preserves us day in and day out. 

He is the Great I AM, and He is the one leading and guiding you into 

victory in every area of your life! He alone is the one who can save our 

souls and give us eternal life. 

I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is, and who 

was, and who is to come, the Almighty. 

Today, remain mindful that God is active in your life and talk with Him 

in prayer without ceasing. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father in heaven, today I 

call on You, the Great I 

Am. I surrender myself to 

You , spirit, soul and body. 

I choose to focus on Your 

greatness today. Thank 

You for being the I AM. I 

ask that You direct my 

steps and supply every 

one of my needs as I move 

forward in obedience to 

Your Word in Jesus name, 

Amen!

“.....Let the Weak Say I AM Strong” 

Joel 3:10 

RENEWING SPIRITUAL STRENGTH! 

There are moments in our walk with God that we do feel weak; we feel 

inadequate. But here, God is calling us to speak his word over our lives, 

He is asking us to call those things which be not as though they were. He 

was us to speak His promises in His word into and over our lives. 

Let the weak say, I am strong. This mighty life changing verse of 

Scripture goes against human logic, but Gods wisdom is greater than 

mans human logic. It is time to think outside the human box, and see 

things from a different level, the level of a heavenly perspective, the 

God-kind of level in faith. Where you take His Living words and let them 

grow and build you up in God. 

Speak His words over every circumstance in your life. Let us say with 

such a strong boldness and con dence, We are strong in Him always. 

Even though we feel weak, we go to God and do as the Bible says. Lord, 

your word says, Let the weak say, I am strong.' Let your word 

strengthen me today and build me up in you. Thank you Lord. 

When you learn to think and speak about your future the way God does, 

you are equipped and positioned to win every battle. When you speak 

words of victory, you ll live a life full of victory. As you do, your heart will 

stay encouraged and you ll move forward in victory the Lord has 

prepared f or you!! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, I humbly come 

before You giving You my 

thoughts, my actions and 

my words. Help me to 

a c t iva t e my f a i t h b y

You always in Jesus name.

“They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green” 

Psalm 92:14 

YOUTHFUL AND FRUITFUL ...! 

Beloved age doesn t matter to God. It is not about how young or how old 

you are but how available to God you are. The more time you spend with 

Jesus in prayer, reading the Bible and doing His will the more you will 

want to serve God, and the more and more fruit you will bear for God. 

Your walk with the Lord will always be fresh, never stale. You will 

always maintain a cutting edge with your testimony and in your 

ministry as you continue to follow Jesus with all your heart. Each and 

every day you will be lled with a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit. You 

will ourish and blossom as you graze on fresh pasture everyday in 

Gods word. In your life there will always be green shoots of hope 

everywhere. Your Life in Jesus will always be green and lush with the 

things of the Holy Spirit. 

My friend, Moses was eighty years old when he led the people out of 

Egypt. Caleb was eighty when he said, full of life and energy, Give me 

this mountain! Never let the world hold you back when they hear how 

old you are. Take hold of the promises of God and enjoy life in God 

They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green. 

Let that be your daily confession and age gracefully in the Lord!! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Fa t h e r i n h e a v e n , I 

humbly come before You. 

I thank you for your 

p r o m i s e s a n d 

encouragement through 

your word. Thank you that 

regardless of my age I 

shall bear fruits, stay fresh 

and green. In Jesus name. 

Amen!

“Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase 

your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.” 


YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES! 

God is the God of increase. He supplies all your needs according to His 

glorious riches in Christ Jesus. He is your EL SHADDAI, the God who is 

more than enough. For when you think you have all you need, He is 

more than enough. 

God wants you to increase; to be bountiful and live in His abundance, 

for the Son of God came to give you Life, and Life more abundantly. He 

wants to increase your storehouse, increase your barns with His 

blessing, increase your life with His Life, increase your spiritual gi ing, 

increase your anointing and increase your growth. 

Whatever area of your life you are looking for God to increase, be 

assured, encouraged, blessed and li ed up, for God will be unto you the 

LORD of the increase. 

God has placed seed in your hand today, but in order for that seed to 

produce, it has to be planted. It has to be watered. It has to be fertilized. 

Today, ask God to show you where to plant your seed. Make sure you are 

sowing in the right ground and tending to the seed He has given you. 

Remember, God has a good plan for your future. He has plans to bless 

you and increase you. Today, you have what it takes to move forward 

and receive the blessing He has prepared for you! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father in heaven, thank 

You for equipping me for 

every good work. Thank 

You for giving me good 

seed to sow! I invite You to 

guide my every step by 

Your precious Holy Spirit. 

Thank You for choosing 

me to be a part of Your 

plan. In Jesus Name. 

Amen.

“I know where you live--where Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to my name. 

You did not renounce your faith in me, not even in the days of Antipas, my faithful 

witness, who was put to death in your city--where Satan lives.” 

Revelation 2:13 

I CAN LOCATE YOU! 

Can you hear God speaking a very personal word to you from today s 

scripture? He is saying to you right now, I know where you live. I know what is 

happening in your life, with your family, with your struggles, with your fears 

and all the other stuff that is going on in your life. I know where you are right 

now and what you re going through, and I am here to help you. 

What a comfort to know that God knows where you live and where you are 

right now. The Bible says in Psalm 46:1 (NIV), God is refuge and strength, an 

ever-present help in trouble. Ever-present, right here and now, God is here for 

you. 

I know where you live. I know where you lie down at night and get up in the 

morning. I know your going out and coming in; your sitting and rising. I have 

your home address and I have always checked up on you. Nobody knows the 

troubles you ve seen but me and me alone. I know your struggles and all that 

you are going through. I know your situation. I am the all knowing, the all 

seeing, the all present- God. I know what your hopes and dreams are, I hear 

you cry and I am here as your all suf cient God. 

How powerful and precious it is for God to make known to us that He knows 

where you live. He is interested in every detail of your life, even where you live. 

But wait, there is something more, God wants you to know today afresh how 

much He has taken a keen interest in every aspect of your life, because He is 

interested in you, for you are the apple of His eye, and He treasure you so 

much. He loves you so very, very much. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

F a t h e r G o d , h o w 

awesome You are! How 

great is Your love! Help me 

to receive Your love so that 

I may know You more. 

Thank You for knowing 

every detail of my life and 

perfecting everything that 

concerns me. I cast my 

cares on You in Jesus 

name. Amen."

“For the LORD God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The LORD 

will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.” 

Psalm 84:11 

OUR SUN AND OUR SHIELD! 

This is a powerful covenant promise. This verse of Scripture just gets 

better and better, richer and fuller with regards to His goodness over 

your life. 

If you walk and stay in obedience, God will do for you what He has 

promised. What do you need from the Lord today? Do you need peace, 

provision or guidance? The Word of God promises that no good thing 

will He withhold from those who walk blamelessly before Him 

Are you ready to receive Him as your sun and shield today? Have you 

been relying on something or someone else to be your protection or 

give you direction? If you have, decide today to lean on your heavenly 

Father. Open your heart and receive all He has for you. Receive His 

favor, blessing and protection today. Let Him be your sun and shield as 

you move forward in victory all the days of your life! 

Be encouraged today, and know without any doubt; God is shining His 

sun on you, His shield surrounds and protects you, His favor is 

bestowed upon you. With his favor, you will never be in lack or need, 

and He crowns you with His honour and no good thing will He hold 

back from you because you are in a covenant relationship with Jesus 

Christ as you walk blameless in Him before God. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Heavenly Father, thank 

You for loving me and 

choosing to pour out Your 

favor and blessing on me 

today. Thank You for 

g i v i n g m e a n e w

blameless in Your eyes. 

Search my heart today and

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God 

forgave you.” 

Ephesians 4:32 

BE KIND AND COMPASSIONATE! 

In this day and age, it's easy to become distracted, almost consumed 

with all the obligations we have on a daily basis. Cell phones, 

computers, the internet have all made it so much easier to pack more 

into our days. And while technology is a great blessing to us, we have to 

remember that how much we get done isn't as important as how we 

treat others. We should never be so focused on plowing through our "to 

do" list that we mistakenly plow past the people in our lives. 

I love this verse in Ephesians that simply reminds us to be kind, to be 

compassionate, to be forgiving. If people had to be reminded back in 

those times, how much more do we need to be reminded today! We 

should always be on the lookout for ways we can be kind to one another. 

Can you share a smile with someone or an encouraging word? Can you 

help meet a need? 

Let your middle name be seen and known as FORGIVENESS, simply 

because you are quick to forgive others. Let each page of your life, 

which is read by the world, speak of the amazing grace of God, the Life, 

liberty and joy in the Holy Spirit which can be found in loving Jesus. Let 

your chapters be lled with kindness, love and mercy. 

Remember, as a believer, you are the hands and feet of Jesus on this 

earth. Look for ways to serve one another. Sow a seed and watch the 

harvest of blessing in your own life in return! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father God, thank You for 

another day to live for You. 

Help me 

nd creative 

ways to show kindness to 

the people you've put in 

my life. Show me ways I 

can sow seed and be a 

blessing to others. Thank 

You for equipping me to 

be Your representative 

and live in victory in every 

area of my life. In Jesus' 

Name. Amen.

“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are 

doing.” 

1 Thessalonians 5:11 

BUILD EACH OTHER UP! 

God designed us to live in relationship with others. He wants us to help 

each other grow. None of us will reach our highest potential by 

ourselves. We need people in our lives to encourage us, and we need to 

encourage the people in our lives and help them reach their potential. 

Let us try to build each other up, not tear at each other, or pull each 

other down. Let us hold each other up in prayer, let us build each other 

up in the most holy faith. Let us do the Christ-like thing, and edify each 

other. 

As we encourage others, we become encouraged ourselves. As we 

express appreciation, we become thankful. As we encourage someone 

to trust God, or own faith is strengthened. As we comfort others who are 

suffering, we ourselves nd comfort and joy. A generous man will 

prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. Pro. 11:25. 

The spirit of encouragement has such power. We have the power to tear 

down and to li up. Compare what a word of criticism does for you, 

versus a word of encouragement or support. Reckless words pierce like 

a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, thank You for the 

people You have placed in 

my life. Help me build 

them up and nd creative 

w a y s t o u r g e t h e m

“The Sovereign LORD is my strength; He makes my feet like the feet of a deer, He 

enables me to tread on the heights... 

Habakkuk 3:19 

THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH ! 

God is calling us to spiritual heights, but we must develop the necessary 

ability for climbing and standing. He really wants us to have high places 

in Him, if we cooperate with Him, He will fashion our feet to climb the 

mountains of God. 

He wants every one of us to climb higher in Him, to know more of His 

glory and power, and for us to see His deeds of wonder and power in our 

days. Our eyes must be ever xed upward on Jesus, our path be solid, 

rm in the Savior s love. He is our strength, so that without Him, we can 

do nothing; He is our strength, so that when we put forth strength, we 

put forth nothing of our own, we add nothing of our own, we use not our 

own strength, of which we have none, but we do use His; and we have It 

ever ready to use, as if it were our own. 

God will raise your status while you are praising Him. He will not leave 

you where He found you. You need people around you that are willing to 

empower you. If they are not willing to empower you, then they are not 

your friends. Iron sharpens iron. 

May the Lord cause you to press on the upward way. May you gain new 

heights every day as you walk with Him. And may you never cease to 

pray as you onward bound. And may the Lord continue to plant your 

feet on higher ground. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Dear Lord, You are my 

strength. The only one 

who make s my feet like 

the feet of the dear and 

who enables me to trend 

on higher heights. Thank 

you for your love and 

being Sovereign God, in 

J e s u s m i g h t y n a m e .

“From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be 

praised.” 

Psalm 113:3 

PRAISE THE LORD! 

As Christians, praising God is our primary calling in life. As the 

psalmist writes; From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, 

the name of the Lord is to be praised. Indeed, God is worthy to be 

praised from the rst moments of consciousness in the morning to the 

last slumbering thoughts before you fall asleep at night. 

If we praise God, it starts to permeate other areas of our lives, and it 

helps draw us closer to God, and to the peace that only He can give, 

because worship changes us. It lls our hearts with gratitude for what 

God has done for us, it reminds us of our status as sons and daughters of 

God, and the promise that we will never be abandoned, and that here is 

a God in whom we can trust. 

We should give our praise and worship to God, not only when we re 

feeling good, or things are going well, but also when times are tough. 

As we praise and worship we turn the attention from our own problems 

and dif culties, and focus instead on God, and recall all He has done, 

and remembering his promises, which kindles and keeps hope alive. 

Today I encourage you to be determined to set the tone for your day, 

week, month and year by praising God and speaking words of faith over 

your future. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Fa t h e r i n h eave n , I 

choose to bless You at all 

times. I choose to set the 

tone to receive Your favor, 

grace and mercy. Thank 

You for Your faithfulness 

at all times in Jesus name. 

Amen!"

“Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give 

you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” 

Acts 20:32 

YOUR GODLY INHERITANCE 

Gods desire for you is to build you up in every area of your life to make 

you bigger and stronger from the inside out; for bigger, stronger and 

more powerful is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. It is 

through the word of His grace, through the powerful word of God, 

which when you take it and apply it to your heart and life will build you 

up. 

We have to commit ourselves to the word of God, to read it, learn it, 

meditate upon it, love it and live it. Let His word change you with its lifegiving 

truth and liberate you into His empowering truths for your life. 

His word, once applied, is like a healing balm; it turns the poison of 

negative lies from the enemy of your soul into His Life-enhancing, 

positive, powerful promises for your life, as He constructs into your 

spiritual DNA His building progress which will strengthen you and 

build you up to face anything and everything, and be an overcomer. 

Our inheritance is in CHRIST JESUS and all that comes from having a 

personal relationship with Him as our LORD and Savior. His desire is to 

build you up not knock you down, His desire for you is for you to have 

con dence, to have boldness and courage, to be positive, to be built up 

in the most holy faith, lled with His strength and power in the Holy 

Spirit to go forward and upward in God to new levels of faith and victory. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father God, thank You for 

Your faithfulness in my
