Topic: From Religion To Relationship.

Memory Verse : Acts 17:26. Starting from scratch, he made the entire human race and made the earth hospitable, with plenty of time and space for living

Bible Reading: Acts 17:22-24 MSG. Key Verse: v24.

So Paul took his stand in the open space at the Areopagus and laid it out for them. “It is plain to see that you Athenians take your religion seriously. When I arrived here the other day, I was fascinated with all the shrines I came across. And then I found one inscribed, to the god nobody knows. I’m here to introduce you to this God so you can worship intelligently, know who you’re dealing with. “The God who made the world and everything in it, this Master of sky and land, doesn’t live in custom-made shrines

Many people are just like the people of Athens who were very religious in their own ways without knowing the true God who made the heavens and the earth. They believe only in what their eyes can see. That is the reason they like bowing down to things created by God while they ignore the invisible God. “Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;”Exodus 20:3-5.

When men serve idols, they break the hedge of divine protection and open themselves up to divine curses and judgment that follow the rebellious. Many are not interested in serving God in spirit and truth. They rather try to stay with what they knew in the past that helped nobody around them, maybe because of demonic culture they inherited from ungodly people. “For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:” Acts 17:28-30.

Today Jesus had paid the price of death to redeem us. We are his offsprings, made after his likeness. He desires that we all as a family return to the place of knowing him by intimate relationship. We need to realise that he is real, though we can’t see with our physical eyes, we can always tune into his realm by faith and through the functioning of his Spirit living inside us. That is when we can be said to be complete in him who created and controls all things and men. When this happens, we can be known as men who are kept by his great power to function as to be protected from every negativity that is not part of the covenant of blessing.

Prayer :Father God deliver me from religion and help me to live a life of intimate relationship with you. I want to be found in you always. Let your Spirit empower me to journey with you by faith unto everlasting victory in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Friday 3rd November, 2023.

Topic: Lifestyle Of Service.

Memory Verse: John 13:17. So now put into practice what I have done for you, and you will experience a life of happiness enriched with untold blessings!”

Bible Reading: John 13:14-16 TPT. Key Verse: v15.

So if I’m your teacher and lord and have just washed your dirty feet, then you should follow the example that I’ve set for you and wash one another’s dirty feet. Now do for each other what I have just done for you. I speak to you timeless truth: a servant is not superior to his master, and an apostle is never greater than the one who sent him.

When Jesus was rounding up his earthly ministry as a man, he saw the need to teach us his version of leadership. He began to wash the feet of the disciples and clean them up. When it came to the turn of Simon Peter, he objected thinking that it was himself that should be the one to wash the master’s feet rather. Feet washing was a service rendered by mainly servants and the least people in a household to visitors from distant and dusty places who came mainly on sandals. It was not a job the master in any home used to do. Peter for that reason thought it was wrong for Jesus Christ to wash him, when it should have been the other way round.

But the master himself was out to teach the early disciples including ourselves to live to serve their followers or those God kept under us, unlike what is practicable among the general public or the people out there. “So he got up from the meal and took off his outer robe, and took a towel and wrapped it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ dirty feet and dry them with his towel. But when Jesus got to Simon Peter, he objected and said, “I can’t let you wash my dirty feet—you’re my Lord!” Jesus replied, “You don’t understand yet the meaning of what I’m doing, but soon it will be clear to you.” John 13:4-7.

This incident was used by Jesus to teach us a vital kingdom principle that hovers around service. Jesus taught us by example that we as leaders have to humbly come down from our exalted positions to listen to and meet the needs of our followers just as himself did. We are to pattern our lives and ministries after him. We are to serve others in the kingdom, just the way Jesus Christ himself served his followers in a manner that they were around him freely and shared everything together with him in a friendly atmosphere. That was the reason the people had to pay Judas Iscariot to help them identify him when he was in the midst of his early disciples.

Prayer :Thank you Lord Jesus for teaching me humility and service through your own life and ministry. As I obey, use me to touch, bless and succor many just like the master himself. Thank you for giving me your joy in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Turnaround By Mercy.

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Thursday 2nd November, 2023.

Topic: Turnaround By Mercy.

Memory Verse: Ezekiel 36:28. You’ll once again live in the land I gave your ancestors. You’ll be my people! I’ll be your God!

Bible Reading: Ezekiel 36:25-27 MSG. Key Verse: v25.

I’ll pour pure water over you and scrub you clean. I’ll give you a new heart, put a new spirit in you. I’ll remove the stone heart from your body and replace it with a heart that’s God-willed, not self-willed. I’ll put my Spirit in you and make it possible for you to do what I tell you and live by my commands.

Before now the people of Israel was a laughing stock to their neighbours because they laboured under the wrath of God. Now God remembered them in his compassionate love and began to turn things around in their favour. “O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” Psalms 30:3-5 KJV.

At this point in time the Lord remembered his people in his mighty mercy and began to speak to them comfortably. By the mercies of God that prevails over law and judgment, he began to promise them both spiritual and material restoration. Water is a symbol of the Spirit of God. Only him can create, recreate and bring newmess. By his workings, we are able to align with God and his purpose at any point in time. “He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:11-13 KJV.

This new month, the Lord is out to show mercy upon every soul that is thirsty affair him. Where we were mocked because of what we suffered in the past, he is out to honour us. Where the enemy thought he had his way, he is showing up with turnaround testimonies. ” ‘Message of God, the Master: On the day I scrub you clean from all your filthy living, I’ll also make your cities livable. The ruins will be rebuilt. The neglected land will be worked again, no longer overgrown with weeds and thistles, worthless in the eyes of passersby. People will exclaim, “Why, this weed patch has been turned into a Garden of Eden! And the ruined cities, smashed into oblivion, are now thriving!” Ezekiel 36:33-35 MSG.

Prayer: Thank you Father God because there is no situation you cannot handle. Thank for not giving up on me because of my shortcomings. By your Spirit, help me to align with you in obedience to your word. Thank you for every work of restoration you are doing in my life this season in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Wake Up And Stand.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL / /

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Wednesday 1st November, 2023.

Topic: Wake Up And Stand.

Memory Verse: Judges 6:14. But God faced him directly: “Go in this strength that is yours. Save Israel from Midian. Haven’t I just sent you?”

Bible Reading: Judges 6:11-13 MSG. Key Verse: v13.

One day the angel of God came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, whose son Gideon was threshing wheat in the winepress, out of sight of the Midianites. The angel of God appeared to him and said,”God is with you,O mighty warrior!” Gideon replied, “With me, my master? If God is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all the miracle-wonders our parents and grandparents told us about, telling us, ‘Didn’t God deliver us from Egypt?’ The fact is, God has nothing to do with us—he has turned us over to Midian.”

This time the people of Israel sinned against God and he permitted their enemies (the Midianites) to ravage them like locusts for good seven years. The Midianites made life very unbearable for the people of Israel to a point where they had to live abnormal lives in caves and places like that. “Midian overpowered Israel. Because of Midian, the People of Israel made for themselves hideouts in the mountains—caves and forts. When Israel planted its crops, Midian and Amalek, the easterners, would invade them, camp in their fields, and destroy their crops all the way down to Gaza. They left nothing for them to live on, neither sheep nor ox nor donkey.” Judges 6:2-4.

The negative activities of the Midianites against the people of Israel resulted in hunger and famine. Israel began to forget the God they had and what he could do because of the terror of their enemies. “Bringing their cattle and tents, they came in and took over, like an invasion of locusts. And their camels—past counting! They marched in and devastated the country. The People of Israel, reduced to grinding poverty by Midian, cried out to God for help. One time when the People of Israel had cried out to God because of Midian,”

When Israel woke from slumber and began to call on God for help, God raised a prophet to remind them of how he delivered them from the hands of the enemies in the past. Sometimes we run into trouble because of our mistakes. Even at that, anytime we retrace our steps back to God, he always shows mercy. A man like Gideon was trying to hide from the Midianites like every other person, without realising that he was the deliverer that Israel prayed and waited for. The angel of God had to visit him to activate the assignment, as well as help him realise and pursue divine purpose. Today some of us reading this are running helter skelter looking for who will deliver us, our families and generation, when we are the real delivers men and God is wanting for to wake up and stand to make things happen in our generation.

Prayer: Thank you Father God for raising me to be a blessing and a deliverer to my family, people and generation. As I take a stand in your name for kingdom sake, reveal your mighty works in me and through me, till your will ptevails and your kingdom is established in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Love The Brethren And Care For Strangers

DAILY DEVOTIONAL / /

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Tuesday 31st October, 2023.

Topic: Love The Brethren And Care For Strangers.

Memory Verse: John 15:17. So this is my parting command: Love one another deeply!”

Bible Reading :Hebrews 13:1-3 TPT. Key Verse :v1.

No matter what, make room in your heart to love every believer. And show hospitality to strangers, for they may be angels from God showing up as your guests. Identify with those who are in prison as though you were there suffering with them, and those who are mistreated as if you could feel their pain.

Love is the nature of God. His dealings with mankind is founded on the principle of love. This love was so strong that it cost him the life of Jesus Christ, his only begotten son. He could not afford to allow man die in his sin and perish in hell forever. He gave up Jesus, who took the punishment of sin of men upon himself, so that ourselves can be free from the punishment that sin brought upon mankind. “God’s Love for Everyone “And just as Moses in the desert lifted up the brass replica of a snake on a pole for all the people to see and be healed, so the Son of Man is ready to be lifted up, so that those who truly believe in him will not perish but be given eternal life. For this is how much God loved the world—he gave his one and only, unique Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in him will never perish but experience everlasting life.” John 3:14-16.

We are commanded by the master himself to love all men, most importantly members of the household of God. We have to treat and care fot their needs as special people and to the glory of God. That’s the simplest way to confirm that we have a common heritage in him. “So I give you now a new commandment: Love each other just as much as I have loved you. For when you demonstrate the same love I have for you by loving one another, everyone will know that you’re my true followers.” John 13:34-35.

On a very important note, as children of God, we have to show love and care to strangers that comes our way. In doing so, some encountered angels who blessed their lives. Father Abraham in taking care of three strange men, encountered God who released the blessing of the birth of Isaac and confided in him about their intention to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. This confidential information led to Abraham interceeding to save Lot and his family. All this was made possible because of his hospitality to them. “And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.” Genesis 18:3-5 KJV.

Prayer :Thank you father God for loving me and giving up Jesus to save me. I pray that your love dwells in me richly by your Spirit. Help me to always love the brethren and care for even strangers to your glory in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Be Consistent In Prayer

DAILY DEVOTIONAL / /

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONAL.

Monday 30th October, 2023.

Topic: Be Consistent In Prayer.

Memory Verse: Luke 18:1 day Jesus taught the apostles to keep praying and never stop or lose hope. He shared with them this illustration:

Bible Reading: Luke 18:2-3 TPT. Key Verse: v3.

“In a certain town there was a civil judge, a thick-skinned and godless man who had no fear of others’ opinions. And there was a poor widow in that town who kept pleading with the judge, ‘Grant me justice and protect me against my oppressor!’

Prayer is a very important lifestyle every believer that wants to succeed must cultivate. The power and effect of prayer is timeless. Jesus used the parable of the consistent widow to drive home his point on the need for believers to be persistent in the place of prayer here, till we see what we desire. Looking at the judge, he had no regard for neither men nor God himself. But because this widow was constant in going to him to ask for help against her enemies who was making life unbearable for her, she got her heart desire granted at the end, though it was not an easy process.

Now we can see that this particular widow in this picture had no imoney to use and get what get justice or defend herself against the incursions of her oppressors. Her husband, who would have been her pillar and defense has been taken away from her by the cold hands of death. The only way she could get help at this point in time was by the intervention of this particular judge who was full of himself because of his placement in the society. Her refusal to be discouraged by the attitude of the judge as to give up was key to her receiving attention at last and her request being granted.

In like manner, if ourselves can be consistent in prayer before the Lord, though answers may look delayed sometimes, God will certainly come through for us, as his children. Again, we need to understand that here that consistency is seeking the Lord till we find him is always a product of faith. “Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen. This testimony of faith is what previous generations were commended for. Faith empowers us to see that the universe was created and beautifully coordinated by the power of God’s words! He spoke and the invisible realm gave birth to all that is seen.” Hebrews 11:1-3.

Prayer :Thank you Father God because you care so much about me. Thank you because you are a prayer answering God. Today, give me a heart that is stayed on you in faith. Help me not to relent in prayers, even when I experience delays. Thank you because you will always come through for me in Jesus blessed name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Victory By The Spirit.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL / /

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONAL.

Sunday 29th October, 2023.

Topic: Victory By The Spirit.

Memory Verse: Romans 8:4. That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Bible Reading :Romans 8:1-3. Key Verse: v2.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

When someone is condemned, it means that he is found unfit for a good use or that he is found guilty of an offense and and should be punished. Sometimes we see our courts condemn men to death by hanging or other means. When men choose to live their lives outside Jesus Christ, they work themselves out of the work of redemption which Jesus did on the cross to blot out our sins, so that we can experience pardon and not be found guilty.
“He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” John 3:18-19. John 6:23.

After we believe in the only begotten son of God and trust in the finished work of the cross as done by him, we don’t stop there. We need to make progress by taking a step further by walking in the Spirit daily. This becomes possible when we yield our heart to our maker. It is a situation whereby we submit our will to agree with his in everything we do. This is when he becomes our Lord, teacher and master. “For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:13-14.

The flesh on iits own carries a sentence of death because it does not have the capacity to please God because of its flaws. God made a way out for us by the help of his Spirit who is a life giver. This is because the life of the Spirit is stronger than the the power of death at work through the flesh. “For it is written: The first man, Adam, became a living soul. The last Adam became the life-giving Spirit . However, the spiritual didn’t come first. The natural precedes the spiritual. The first man was from the dust of the earth; the second Man is the Lord Jehovah, from the realm of heaven. The first one, made from dust, has a race of people just like him, who are also made from dust. The One sent from heaven has a race of heavenly people who are just like him.” 1 Corinthians 15:45-48.

Prayer : Thank you Father God because of you have done for me. Thank you for giving me Jesus to redeem me by his blood. Thank you for giving me your Spirit by whom am able to overcome the flesh and its desires. Thank you for the life of the Spirit that overcomes death in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

The Victorious New Life.

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONAL.

Saturday 28th October, 2023.

Topic: The Victorious New Life.

Memory Verse: John 4:14. But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Bible Reading: John 4:11-13. Key Verse:v13.

The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

Jesus was resting by this particular well on this very day exhausted while the disciples went to arrange something he could eat inside town. Jesus was not just hungry but thirsty. When this particular woman came to the well to fetch water, Jesus asked her to help him with some water to drink. “There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.” John 4:7-9.

At that point in time, Jesus Christ was positioned to bless this Samaritan woman by changing her life. She was struggling with personal weakness and marital disappointment. Her life was nothing good to write home about. At her age, she had already passed through the hands of five men as husband and in a relationship that had no right standing. She had a problem that was bigger than herself and needed help to overcome the circle of failure that wanted to make a nobody out of her life. Jesus knew her pains and struggles and was there to help her out. “Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.” John 4:16-18.

On a most important note, Jesus wanted her to move from a weak life of failute to be a women empowered by the Spirit of God to begin to experience supernatural lifestyle by the help of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit Jesus wanted her to have will be a living spring in her belly or spiritman empowering her to have a new life that is free of misery, failure and disappointment. “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.* Romans 8:9-11.

Prayer :Thank you Lord Jesus for taking the form of a man to come to the earth you created in order to give me a new and Victorous life. By the of your Spirit, I begin to live above my weaknesses. I receive grace to be a blessing by the help of your Spirit living in me.

Wisdom For Daily Living.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL / /

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONAL.

Friday 27th October, 2023.

Topic: Wisdom For Daily Living.

Memory Verse: Proverbs 15:4. A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

Bible Reading: Proverbs 15:1-3. Key Verse: v2.

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

The word of God (the Bible) teaches us wisdom for daily living. When we study the word meditatively and follow the instructions therein, the journey of life becomes more easy, enjoyable and worthwhile. It takes humility to deal with others gently putting ourselves in their shoes when dealing with them. When someone lack manner of approach in dealing with fellow men, such individual will create much problem for himself out of arrogance. With good manners, there’s no situation that cannot be handled satisfactorily to a point where tension can be doused. The tongue of the wise in an instrument to build men up through words of encouragement.

“The eyes of the Lord are everywhere and he takes note of everything that happens. He watches over his lovers, and he also sees the wickedness of the wicked.” Proverbs 15:3 TPT. The Lord rules in the whole universe. He watches over the affairs of men in order to defend his own (those that love him) from the forays of the wicked. His presence is shield of protection around his children. He presides over the affairs of men to judge the actions of men, weather good or bad. This consciousness should help us avoid the ways of the wicked men because their reward will surely come when they least expect, so that we don’t partake in their judgement.

“When you speak healing words, you offer others fruit from the tree of life. But unhealthy, negative words do nothing but crush their hopes.” Proverbs 15:4 TPT. God desires that the tongue of every of his children should be a spring of blessing by the help of the Spirit of God residing in us.”but if anyone drinks the living water I give them, they will never thirst again and will be forever satisfied! For when you drink the water I give you it becomes a gushing fountain of the Holy Spirit, springing up and flooding you with endless life!” John 4:14 TPT. From today be conscious of men God is bringing your way that needs encouragement, direction, the wisdom of God in you and words of comfort.

Prayer : Thank you Father God for instructing me through your word. Help by your Spirit to humbly be a channel of blessing to as many as will encounter me in their lifetime, in Jesus precious name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Living To Honour God.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL / /

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONAL.

Thursday 26th October, 2023.

Topic: Living To Honour God.

Memory Verse: Matthew 15:11. What truly contaminates a person is not what he puts into his mouth but what comes out of his mouth. That’s what makes people defiled.”

Bible Reading: Matthew 15:8-10. Key Verse: v8.

These people honor me only with their words, for their hearts are so very distant from me. They pretend to worship me, but their worship is nothing more than the empty traditions of men.” Then Jesus turned to the crowd and said, “Come, listen and open your heart to understand.

At this point in time, the Pharisses and Scholars came to Jesus and wanted to know why his followers were not following their traditions strictly, expecially in hand washing before eating. It will be good to point out here that the problem these Pharisees had was that of ritualistic process and not of hygiene. At this point in time the disciples of Jesus has grown beyond traditional teachings of their Jewish ancestors that following such traditional procedure anytime one wants to eat is part of righteousness before God that can even guarantee making heaven, even when the heart of such individuals remained dirty or evil. Mathew 15:1-2.

Jesus then began to let them know that procedural or traditional hand washing is not as important as obeying the commands of God. The Jews were good in obeying their personal laws and traditions of men while they ignored the laws of God who is the source and creator of all men. He was trying to make them to shift their emphasis from personal hygiene (which hand washing represented) to realise the importance of spiritual purity which is deeper that what the eyes can see, but can only be felt or weighed by what comes out of a man mouth. “Then Jesus turned to the crowd and said, “Come, listen and open your heart to understand. What truly contaminates a person is not what he puts into his mouth but what comes out of his mouth. That’s what makes people defiled.” Matthew 15:10-11. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Luke 6:45.

Even today, there are many traditions of men we need to do away with, if we must serve and please God. People around the world including Nigeria and Africa are still holding on to some values of men handed over to them by ungodly forefathers out of ignorance and deceit because they didn’t know the true God, neither did they know or honour his commandments. Some are deeply involved in certain traditional sacrifices to idols and to that extent bring the wrath of God upon localities, cities and nations. It is time to repent of such involvements and rededicate our localities, cities and nations to Jesus Christ by recognising his sacrifice on the cross as the final one for all men.

Prayer : Thank you Father God because your commands are superior to every traditions of men. From today, help me to live my life to honour you and you alone and not men and their traditions. Let your reverence be in me as my father in Jesus blessed name… Amen 🙏🏿.
