*DATE: MONDAY, 24TH AUGUST, 2026*

*THEME: DO NOT GOSSIP*

*MEMORISE: A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends. Proverbs 16:28*

*BIBLE READING: MATTHEW 12:33-36*

33. Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

34. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

35. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

36. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

*MESSAGE:*

Gossip is dangerous, and it can destroy relationships and hurt others deeply. When you gossip about others and they find out about it, you have broken whatever trust they might have had in you. Gossip can leave scars that may last forever or take years to heal.

James 1:26 says, "lf anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless." This Scripture tells us that gossip doesn't just hurt others; it also damages a fellow's witness as a Christian. When you engage in gossip, you dishonour God and show a lack of love for others.

My dear child, gossip stirs up unnecessary conflicts. Therefore, if someone tries to drag you into gossip, steer the conversation toward something positive or excuse yourself from that environment. Instead of gossiping, speak kindness and truth or pray for the people being talked about.

*KEY POINT:*

Avoid gossip at all costs.

THEME: NOTHING GOOD TO OFFER



MEMORISE: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

James 4:7



READ: Luke 11:24-26

24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.

25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.

26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.



MESSAGE

The devil has two types of captives: the willing captives and the unwilling captives. An unwilling captive is someone who has entered either willingly or unwillingly into the trap of the devil but now wants to be delivered. Such a fellow will be set free from the devil's hold when an anointed child of God prays for him or her. A willing captive, on the other hand, is someone who also gets into the devil's hold either willingly or unwillingly but refuses to repent or be delivered because of the perceived benefits he or she is getting by serving satan. Even if such a fellow is forcefully delivered, he or she will return to the devil's camp, and this time around, the bo***ge will be much worse because the demon(s) that were previously cast out will be multiplied sevenfold (Matthew 12:43-45).

Many years ago, we discovered that a witch was among us in the church. We prayed for her to be delivered; however, she remained in bo***ge. We then asked her if she wanted to be free, and she said, "No. Do you want me to lose the power that I use to control my husband?" Such thinking is very unfortunate because those who serve the devil are headed for eternal damnation if they do not repent.

A woman whose children were dying one after the other went to seek help from a prophet because she needed him to pray to God for their protection. While waiting fo

*THE GAINS OF GOD'S COVENANT 2*

‎

‎These prayers have no expiry dates! Please, pray them, irrespective of the time they get to you. Remain blessed, in Jesus' name.

‎

*‎READ: Genesis 20: 1-18*

*KEY POINT*

Being in a covenant with God gives you access to tremendous benefits and makes difficult things easy.

‎*Special Note.*

*TOPIC: BE SELF- DISCIPLINED*

*MEMORISE: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. 1 Corinthians 9:27*

*BIBLE READING 😗 1 CORINTHIANS 9:24-27

24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

*MESSAGE:*

Self-discipline is a vital key for anyone who desires greatness. Greatness is not accidental; it is a reward for consistency, focus, and self-control. If you want to become successful, you must be ready to pay the price of discipline. For instance, if you desire academic success, you must be diligent in studying. Also, if you want to do great exploits for God and enjoy His greatness in your life, a lifestyle of prayer, fasting, and obedience is nonnegotiable.

My dear child, you cannot thrive without self-discipline. The devil may try to distract you with social media, unproductive friendships, or worldly pleasures; don't give him that chance. You must distance yourself from anything or anyone that pulls you away from purpose.

Beloved, God has prepared a glorious destiny for you. Jeremiah 29:11 says that the plans He has for you are good; they are to prosper you and give you a glorious future. Therefore, do not allow anything to disqualify you from attaining the glorious height that God has prepared for you. Be disciplined, prayerful, and focused.

*KEY POINT:*

Self-discipline paves the way for greatness.

THEME: THE GAINS OF GOD'S COVENANT II



MEMORISE: Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the coven ant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:

Deuteronomy 7:12



READ: Genesis 20:1-18

1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.

2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.

4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?

5 Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.

6 And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.

7 Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.

8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.

9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.

10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?

11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wif
