TOPIC: *NOTHING GOOD TO OFFER*

MEMORIZE:

"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:7 (KJV)

BIBLE READING: 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 for him, his wife asked her why she wanted to see her husband. She explained why she had come, and the prophet’s wife gave her a kolanut to eat, telling her it would solve her problem and that she didn’t need to wait for her husband again.

When she went to sleep that night, she suddenly found herself among some witches in the spirit realm. They welcomed her and promised to protect her children if she joined them. She agreed based on their promise, and after some time, it became her turn to supply the blood that the coven would drink. At that point, she surrendered her husband to be sacrificed.
More time passed, and it became her turn again to supply blood. This time, however, the witches asked her to sacrifice her children. That was when she decided to seek God’s help to save her children from the devil’s plan. Thank God she came to the church, and God delivered her.

Beloved, the devil offers nothing good or lasting. For everything he gives, he takes a thousandfold in return. I pray that God grants you the grace to avoid his traps, and if he currently has any hold over you and you are willing to be set free, I decree your liberty now, in Jesus’ name.

KEY POINT:

The devil has nothing good to give. Those who serve him are headed for eternal damnation.

BY DR. PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE.

DATE: MONDAY, 24TH. AUGUST, 2026.

TOPIC: *THE PRICE OF A CARELESS TONGUE.*

SCRIPTURE: He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
Proverbs 13:3

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: If you desire preservation in life and destiny, beware of wrong associations and careless speech.

Scripture makes it clear that loquacity leads to sin. That is why a wise person controls what they say and knows when to be quiet (Proverbs 10:19).
There are people in Scripture who paid the ultimate price for careless talk. Their loquacity led to their calamity. Samson was a classical example. He lost his life and destiny on the platform of talking carelessly to the wrong person, a strange woman called Delilah.
Many people blame only the strange woman in Samson's story, not minding Samson’s destructive act of divulging divine secrets and sacred matters to the wrong person. Delilah pressed him daily with her words until his soul was vexed unto death. Eventually, Samson told her all his heart, thereby revealing the secret of his consecration unto God (Judges 16:16-17). It is a dangerous thing for a person to reveal the secrets of their consecration to a stranger.

It was unbelievable that Samson could reveal a secret that held the key to his life and death to anyone, let alone a stranger. That was more like saying, “In case you are interested in killing me, cut this hair lock." He knew he was not an ordinary man. He knew there had not come a razor upon his head because he was a Nazarite unto God from his mother's womb, yet he divulged such a sacred secret.

The moment Delilah discovered that Samson had told her all his heart, she quickly arranged for his downfall. His hair was shaved, his strength departed, and the Philistines captured him, put out his eyes, bound him with fetters of brass, and made him grind in the prison house (Judges 16:18-21).

The strength of Israel became the toy of the Gentiles at the frequency of revealing a sensitive secret to the wrong person.

Samson revealed the secrets of his consecration to someone who had no business knowing them.
There are dealings between you and God that even those closest to you may not know unless God permits it. Not every secret should be shared. Not every question deserves an answer.

The Scripture declares, He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction (Proverbs 13:3). Many people have lost opportunities, relationships, assignments, and even destinies because they talked when they should have remained silent.

Beloved, if you desire preservation in life and destiny, beware of wrong associations and careless speech. Guard your heart, guard your secrets, and guard your tongue. The person who keeps his mouth keeps his life.

REMEMBER THIS: If you desire preservation in life and destiny, beware of wrong associations and careless speech.

ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Avoid relationships that continually pressure you to compromise your convictions.
2. Refuse the habit of excessive talking and unnecessary disclosure of personal matters.
3. Ask God for wisdom to know what to say, when to say it, and to whom to say it.

PRAYER: Father, thank You for the light of Your Word. Deliver me from wrong associations and careless, excessive talk. Grant me the wisdom to guard my heart, my tongue, and my life, Lord, in Jesus' Name.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES, DAILY DEVOTIONAL

BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME DSC DSC DD

MONDAY 24TH AUGUST 2026.

TOPIC: *THE DOMINION AND SUPREMACY OF CHRIST*

_Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come (Ephesians 1:20-21)._

Our Lord Jesus Christ is not one among many authorities, governments or powers in this world; He’s far above them. He’s high above all other government, authority, power, dominion, and every title of sovereignty used in this age and in the age to come. That means there’s no system, no structure, no name, and no office anywhere that is outside the dominion and supremacy of Christ.

Remember, the Bible says He has a government (Isaiah 9:6) and His government is one with unlimited influence, power, dominion and authority: “Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end...” (Isaiah 9:7). His authority supersedes every earthly system. He is the Head and we are His body. And the Bible says His government is upon His shoulders, which means His body.

That’s why when any system stands against the Gospel of Jesus Christ or seeks to hinder the Church, we keep them in check. We frustrate their efforts and overthrow their plans. We have the authority to do that because we function in His Name. As He’s far above every ruler, authority, power and principality of darkness, so are we, because He raised us up together and made us sit together with Him in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6).

His dominion and supremacy aren’t temporary but forever. Both now and in the world to come, His authority stands. The Bible shows the extent of His rule; everything is under Him. Ephesians 1:20-22 (MSG) says, “All this energy issues from Christ: God raised him from death and set him on a throne in deep heaven, in charge of running the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from his rule. And not just for the time being, but forever. He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything....” Blessed be God!

Live with this consciousness. You’re functioning under the authority of the One who is above all—the Lord Jesus. Therefore, walk in dominion and supremacy of His glory and mighty power.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the dominion and supremacy of Jesus Christ over all governments, powers, dominions and principalities of darkness. I walk in the consciousness of His lordship and exercise dominion in every situation. I stand firm for the Gospel, bold and full of faith, knowing that I operate under the highest authority, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY
Colossians 2:10 KJV
And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

Philippians 2:9-11 KJV
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Daniel 7:14 KJV
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

SUNDAY, 23RD. AUGUST, 2026.

TOPIC: *A LIVING WITNESS OF GOD'S GOODNESS*

SCRIPTURE: And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed.
Isaiah 61:9

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Our success is more evangelistic than our failure.

God desires that His people become living testimonies of His goodness, blessing, and faithfulness. A life that reflects the goodness of God is a powerful witnessing tool to an unbelieving world. There is a way God can bless a person that people cannot deny that the Hand of God is upon such a person’s life.

Our success is more evangelistic than our failure.
Failure has no evangelistic power. No one ever follows a broke person to church so they too can become broke. God wants His goodness to be reflected in the lives of His children so those who do not know Him can see the difference.
Your life can reflect such a dimension of God’s goodness that people will become attracted to serving God because they see you. You do not smoke, drink, womanise, or live an ungodly life, and your life exudes the blessing of God.
Those around you who engage in all kinds of worldly and ungodly practices will begin to wonder. They will ask themselves, "Wait, this person who is serving God is bigger than me, heavier than me, and has more resources than me who is not serving God." At that point, they will be compelled to consider serving your God.

When I rededicated my life to God, the Lord showed me a man who was clean, holy, godly, and blessed. He had resources and was enjoying his life despite his commitment to serving God. The Lord asked me, "Look at this man, what is he missing?" I could not find an answer because the man was missing nothing. That encounter helped me realise that there is no loss in serving God.

Zechariah 8:23 says, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
There is something people will hear about you or see in you that will make them follow your God without your preaching.
They will see your marital harmony, family stability, upright life, joy, and peace; they will see that you are not stranded, frustrated, or begging for survival, and this will make them desire to know and serve the God you serve.
God wants you to be a good advertiser of His Kingdom.
Unfortunately, many Christians are bad advertisers of the Kingdom, not deliberately, but because their lives do not reflect the goodness of God as they should.
Psalm 34:8 says, O taste and see that the Lord is good. God is good, and He wants His goodness to be evident in your life.

Beloved, God wants people to follow you to know Him. He wants your community, family, and generation to know that your God is a God worth serving.

REMEMBER THIS: Our success is more evangelistic than our failure.

ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Make up your mind to be a good representative and advertiser of God's kingdom.
2. Maintain a life of uprightness, integrity, and devotion to God.
3. Trust God for the manifestation of His goodness in every area of your life.

PRAYER: Father, thank You for Your goodness and faithfulness. Let my life reflect your goodness to my world, Lord, in Jesus' Name.

TOPIC: *PRAY FOR YOUR CHILDREN*

MEMORIZE:

"As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth." Psalm 127:4 (KJV)

BIBLE READING: 1 KINGS 1:15-31

15 And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king.

16 And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?

17 And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the Lord thy God unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.

18 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not:

19 And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not called.

20 And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.

22 And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.

23 And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

24 And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?

25 For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king's sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.

26 But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called.

27 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewed it unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?

28 Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.

29 And the king sware, and said, As the Lord liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,

30 Even as I sware unto thee by the Lord God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.

31 Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.

MESSAGE:

In (1 Kings 1:1-49), one of King David's sons decided to crown himself king by staging a coup to overthrow his father. Solomon's mother was informed of the development, so she went to David and reminded him that he had promised that her son would succeed him as king. That same day, Solomon was crowned king meaning that Israel had three kings on that fateful day: David, Solomon, and the son who decided to make himself king. Solomon might not even have been aware of the events that led to his coronation; however, because his mother rose and entreated the king on his behalf, he was crowned king.

There are certain things that children might miss if their parents don't rise to pray for them. A child may not know his or her left from right and may not even be qualified for an exalted position; however, his or her parents' prayers can elevate that child into that position. The authority that parents have over their children, both naturally and spiritually, is great, and they must learn to use it effectively. Any parent who does not pray for his or her child is like a mother hen who watches as a hawk carries her chick away, leaving the chick to fight for itself. The chick lacks sufficient strength to fight a hawk; however, if its mother joins in the fight, it would have a better chance of being saved.

If you are a parent, do not keep quiet over your children's destiny so that the devil will not tamper with it. Cry out to God to show your children mercy early in their lives. In Psalm 90:14, Moses prayed that God should satisfy him and the children of Israel early with His mercy so that they would rejoice and be glad all the days of their lives. He knew that the secret to lasting joy and gladness was to start enjoying God's mercy early in life.

Beloved, if you are a parent, do not neglect your spiritual responsibility over your children. Like Moses, ask God to show your children His mercy early in their lives. Let your prayers position them for opportunities early in life. Your children will begin to enjoy supernatural favour that some people only get to experience as adults if you pray for them now. I pray that God will shower His mercies over you and your household, in Jesus' name.

KEY POINT:

Parents should not neglect their spiritual responsibility over their children.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES, DAILY DEVOTIONAL

BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME DSC DSC DD

SUNDAY 23RD AUGUST 2026.

TOPIC: *CHRIST—THE GOD-MAN DELIVERER*

_And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God (Matthew 16:16)._

We have to understand something about the name, Christ. It’s the English form of the Greek “Christos,” and that is the Greek form of the Hebrew “Messiah.” What does “Messiah” mean? It means the God-man deliverer. That’s why Jesus is called the Anointed One, the God-man Messiah.

From the prophecies of Moses and the other prophets, they understood that a Messiah would come, the God-man would come, and that this God-man would deliver them. And what kind of deliverance were they expecting? The ultimate deliverance! It was the deliverance from all evil and from all that’s human. Why did the Jews think that way?

It’s because they knew that what was human had become corrupted. They knew the story of how man fell in the Garden of Eden through Adam’s transgression. Thus, they believed that only the God-man deliverer, the ultimate deliverer, could set humanity free from Satan’s bo***ge and the corruption that worked in nature.

Man’s heart became deceitful above all things and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9). So, man realised he needed deliverance from himself, from that fallen nature. That’s why they looked forward to the coming of the God-man, the Messiah. That’s why He was called the Anointed One. Not because they didn’t know about the anointing.

They knew Moses was anointed, likewise the priests. They knew the Kings, for example, David, and even Saul, and then the Prophets, were all anointed. They were familiar with the anointing. So they weren’t just talking about an anointed one but the God-man. That was their expectation.

But sadly, when He came, they didn’t recognise Him. The Bible says, "He came unto his own, and his own received him not” (John 1:11). Jesus is that God-man. He is the Christ. Not just an anointed man, but the One who brought the ultimate deliverance. In Him, you’ve been delivered from all that’s evil and from the fallen human nature. You’ve been brought into a new life.

You’re not trying to be delivered; you’ve been delivered: “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son” (Colossians 1:13). You’re not of the old human order; you’re a new creation by reason of Christ—the God-man deliverer. Blessed be God!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the revelation of Jesus Christ, the God-man and my ultimate deliverer. I live in the consciousness of this truth that I’ve been brought into a new life in Christ, a life of glory and righteousness. I walk in this reality today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY
John 1:14 KJV
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble. [40] And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

Isaiah 19:20 KJV
And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.

MEMORIZE:

"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world" 1 John 4:4 (KJV)

BIBLE READING: 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17-19
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

MESSAGE:

Years ago, one of my daughters in the Lord came to me and said, "Daddy, a young man approached me and said he wants to marry me." I congratulated her, but she replied, "Daddy, my father told me that I was dedicated to a river goddess when I was born, and a covenant was made that whoever I marry is going to die on our wedding day. I don't want the young man to die." I told her that I know someone stronger than the river goddess. We prayed a simple prayer, and she left. The next time I saw her, she was happily married and already had a baby. I declare that any evil force that might be hindering your progress is destroyed today, in Jesus' name.

A new and greater covenant can cancel a previously existing one. For instance, if you want to break a covenant with someone, all you need to do is enter into a covenant with someone greater; the greater fellow can release you from the lesser person's covenant by force. If a person enters into a covenant with the devil, the moment he or she enters into a covenant with God, He will wipe out all evil covenants from the fellow's life. God's covenant is superior to any other covenant. Our God is stronger than the strongest; therefore, once a person enters into a covenant with Him, He will bind any strong man who was previously in charge of the fellow's life and throw him out.

It is also important to note that the devil still seeks to retain his strongholds in the lives of people even after they have become born again. A stronghold is a deeply entrenched evil pattern that the devil has instilled in a person, and it must be addressed. Otherwise, the person will continue to operate under its influence even after he or she has become born again. Such strongholds typically include bitterness, pride, generational curses, anger, and other similar issues.

Beloved, (2 Corinthians 10:3-5) urges us to pull down strongholds and cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. If you are a party to any evil covenant or are under the influence of any demonic stronghold, cry out to God today to deliver you by His mighty power. I join my faith with yours and decree that you are completely free from any evil covenant or demonic stronghold that might be in your life, in Jesus' name.

KEY POINT:

Having a covenant with God annuls every evil covenant in a person's life.

BIBLE READING IN ONE YEAR: LAMENTATIONS 1 - 2

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

HYMNAL 10 - IN CHRIST ALONE

1 In Christ alone, my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

2 In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live, I live

3 There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

4 No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
