*THE DAILY DEVOTIONAL.* CHURCH OF NIGERIA _(ANGLICAN COMMUNION)_

*DATE:* SUNDAY, 17TH MARCH, 2024 _*{Lent 5}*_ *THEME:* GOVERNOR FOR ALL NATIONS: HOPE FOR THE AFFLICTED

*TEXT:* PSALM 22: 23-29 (NKJV)

22:23. You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, And fear Him, all you offspring of Israel!
22:24. For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from Him; But when He cried to Him, He heard.
22:25. My praise [shall be] of You in the great assembly; I will pay My vows before those who fear Him.
22:26. The poor shall eat and be satisfied; Those who seek Him will praise the LORD. Let your heart live forever!
22:27. All the ends of the world Shall remember and turn to the LORD, And all the families of the nations Shall worship before You.
22:28. For the kingdom [is] the LORD's, And He rules over the nations.
22:29. All the prosperous of the earth Shall eat and worship; All those who go down to the dust Shall bow before Him, Even he who cannot keep himself alive.

*MESSAGE:*

Our text reveals the hope for the afflicted by stating that God does not despise their affliction neither does He hide his face from them, but his ear is attentive whenever they cried unto him for help. For this reason, the Psalmist declared that his praise shall be of the LORD who alone can listen to the afflicted and also deliver him from all his affliction. In order to solidify the hope of the afflicted in God, he also stated that the kingdom of the earth belongs to God, and He is the governor of the nation and as a result of this, God can deliver all the afflicted.

Whatever affliction you may be going through now, there is hope for you. If only you will cry unto God, the LORD will deliver you from all your affliction. That God is the 'governor among the nations' tells of His sufficient power to deliver those who will diligently take time to call unto him for help. As 'governor', God has everything under his control; principalities and powers are subject unto him, and once He arises to save, no power can stop or hinder him.

*PRAYER:*
Dear LORD, I acknowledge You as the governor among the nations. Please intervene in my afflictions, _*Amen.*_

*QUOTE FOR THE DAY*
God Says:

_"When you pass through turbulent waters, I will be close to you."_ *Isaiah 43: 2*

✝️📗DAILY FOUNTAIN DEVOTIONAL
Date: 2024-Mar-11

🎯TOPIC: MANIFESTATION OF GOD'S GLORY


✝️TEXT: John 9: 1-5(NKJV)
9:1. Now as [Jesus] passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth.
9:2. And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
9:3. Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.
9:4. "I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; [the] night is coming when no one can work.
9:5. "As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

✝️STUDY: The passage for today presents a man born blind and living in great difficulty and pain. Usually, in Jewish thought, the blind must be suffering from the consequences of his or his parents' sin. This view is expressed in the question of the disciples. In their thinking, the man was simply suffering for the sin of his parents because he was born blind. According to Jesus, the man was not suffering for any sin although he did not state the source of the problem but pointed out that the problem of the man was destined to show forth the glory of God. Of course, this did not mean that God inflicted the problem on the man. The causes of human problems are many and sometimes complex. For instance, health problems of different kinds could be caused by diseases, misuse of the body, accidents, stress, birth defects arising from carelessness, and of course, attacks from enemies.
Jesus said no matter the problem, God's supreme authority and power are exercised over our situations, bringing about peace, calmness, and joy; His glory is manifested and people will rejoice. If we are passing through any kind of difficult and seemingly irreversible problems - debt, poverty, joblessness, ill-health; barrenness, marital discord-we must keep praying because if we do, we will experience His divine intervention.

✝️🙏PRAYER: Heavenly Father, mercifully intervene in my situation for a miracle, Amen.

*THE DAILY DEVOTIONAL.* CHURCH OF NIGERIA _(ANGLICAN COMMUNION)_

*DATE:* SUNDAY, 10TH MARCH, 2024 {Lent 4} MOTHERING SUNDAY *THEME:* COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

*TEXT:* PSALM 18: 27-38 (NKJV)

18:27. For You will save the humble people, But will bring down haughty looks.
18:28. For You will light my lamp; The LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
18:29. For by You I can run against a troop, By my God I can leap over a wall.
18:30. [As for] God, His way [is] perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He [is] a shield to all who trust in Him.
18:31. For who [is] God, except the LORD? And who [is] a rock, except our God?
18:32. [It is] God who arms me with strength, And makes my way perfect.
18:33. He makes my feet like the [feet of] deer, And sets me on my high places.
18:34. He teaches my hands to make war, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
18:35. You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great.
18:36. You enlarged my path under me, So my feet did not slip.
18:37. I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them; Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.
18:38. I have wounded them, So that they could not rise; They have fallen under my feet.

*MESSAGE:*

Psalm 18 is generally a thanksgiving by David for all the deliverances wrought in his life by God. The psalm helped him to keep the experiences fresh in his memory so as never to forget the mighty deeds of God. This psalm was first sung in 2 Samuel 22 when David was young, however, even at old age, he still remembered all the great acts of God. While reminiscing, David described God as He who repays a person accordingly (Psa. 18: 27), thus, establishing the biblical fact that we reap what we sow (Job 34: 11; Rom. 2: 6). He remembered God as He who lightened his darkness, and helped him to run and leap over the wall, girded him with strength and made his way perfect; made his feet like that of a deer, set him on high places and taught his hands to war (Psa. 18: 28-34). All these depict David's trust and total dependence on divine intervention in all his victories which kept Israel safe throughout his reign.

David's reliance on God throughout his life accounted for all his successes. Who do you depend on: Your efforts, intellect, or connections?Do you see God in all our endeavours? Do you accord Him all the honour due Him for both the 'little' and 'big' wins? Are you humble enough to count our blessings and encourage others to do so? If you do, it will surprise you what God has done.

*PRAYER:*
Quietly count, name and thank God for all your blessings today and always.

*THE DAILY DEVOTIONAL.* CHURCH OF NIGERIA _(ANGLICAN COMMUNION)_

*DATE:* FRIDAY, 8TH MARCH, 2024 *THEME:* ARE YOU REALLY WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE

*TEXT:* JOHN 8: 31-47 (NKJV)

8:31. Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
8:32. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
8:33. They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How [can] you say, 'You will be made free'?"
8:34. Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.
8:35. "And a slave does not abide in the house forever, [but] a son abides forever.
8:36. "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
8:37. " I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.
8:38. "I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father."
8:39. They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
8:40. "But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
8:41. "You do the deeds of your father." Then they said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father -- God."
8:42. Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.
8:43. "Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.
8:44. "You are of [your] father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and [does not] stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own [resources,] for he is a liar and the father of it.
8:45. "But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.
8:46. "Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?
8:47. "He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God."

*MESSAGE:*

Jesus said to the Jews,“If God were your father, ye would love me and do the works of Abraham (John 8:39-42). These Jews had claimed to have Abraham as their Father but failed to love and do the works of Abraham which were counted for him as righteousness. Today, many followers of Christ still dishonour God's word and claim to be children of God (1 Sam.2: 30).

Are you one of such people? If you are a Christian, but the fruits you bear do not tally with those of the Holy Spirit (Gal 5: 22-25), it means God is not your father but Satan. If your spiritual eyes are dim, you may not recognise the truth. More importantly, a carnally minded son or daughter is likely to lose both paternal privileges and rights just like the prodigal son (Luke 15: 11-32). Are you still under the management of the devil or perhaps, you have lost your sonship through carelessness, peer pressure, love of money, inordinate desire for positions or power, wrong association, etc? Our God is gracious. Repent and ask for forgiveness with godly sorrow. Your glory will be restored. Eternal life awaits you if you overcome the devil's end-time agenda. Pray that the tricks and plans of the enemy over you will fail in Jesus' name.

*PRAYER:*
Lord, please be merciful and deliver me from the power of the flesh and devil, _*Amen!*_

*TEXT:* JOHN 8: 12-30 (NKJV)

8:12. Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."
8:13. The Pharisees therefore said to Him, "You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true."
8:14. Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going.
8:15. "You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
8:16. "And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I [am] with the Father who sent Me.
8:17. "It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.
8:18. "I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me."
8:19. Then they said to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also."
8:20. These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one laid hands on Him, for His hour had not yet come.
8:21. Then Jesus said to them again, "I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come."
8:22. So the Jews said, "Will He kill Himself, because He says, 'Where I go you cannot come'?"
8:23. And He said to them, "You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
8:24. "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am [He,] you will die in your sins."
8:25. Then they said to Him, "Who are You?" And Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
8:26. "I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him."
8:27. They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father.
8:28. Then Jesus said to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am [He,] and [that] I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.
8:29. "And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him."
8:30. As He spoke these words, many believed in Him.

*MESSAGE:*

Our text today speaks of Jesus as the light of the world. In several places in the scripture, we see Jesus calling Himself different names. For example in John 15: 1, He called Himself the True Vine. In John 10: 11, He said he is a Good Shepherd. He is also the Door (John 10: 9) while in John 14: 6, He describes himself as the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Jesus' description of himself as the Light of the world implies that He is the source of illumination to the darkness that prevails in the world. Truly, the present-day world has been covered by gross darkness but God wants us to be the light in that darkness. As all terrestrial bodies receive their light through the illumination from the sun, in the same way, no believer can walk in the light without receiving their light from Jesus who himself is the light. That is why Jesus said, “For without me, ye can do nothing (John 15: 58). Any Christian who wants to shine must abide in Christ, else, such a believer would walk in darkness.

Believers are the light of the world and should live out Christian virtues for the world to see. It is our truthfulness that will expose errors and evils in the world. Jesus expects us to follow his footsteps by exhibiting good works to showcase the glory of God to the world (Matt. 5: 14-16). True followers of Jesus are not only the Light but must also walk in the Light. Let us arise to shine the light of Jesus and make Him known to the world.

*PRAYER:*
O Lord, grant me the grace to be a light to my generation, _*Amen.*_

*DATE:* WEDNESDAY, 6TH MARCH, 2024 *THEME:* NEITHER DO I CONDEMN THEE

*TEXT:* JOHN 8: 1-11 (NKJV)

8:1. But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
8:2. Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them.
8:3. Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst,
8:4. they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act.
8:5. "Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?"
8:6. This they said, testing Him, that they might have [something] of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with [His] finger, as though He did not hear.
8:7. So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first."
8:8. And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.
8:9. Then those who heard [it,] being convicted by [their] conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest [even] to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
8:10. When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?"
8:11. She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more."

*MESSAGE:*

It is a popular saying that 'to err is human, to forgive is divine.' This was true of a woman who was caught in the act of adultery and brought to Jesus. The question that would come to mind was 'why was the man she engaged in the act with not brought to Jesus too?' The Scribes and Pharisees only brought the woman to tempt Jesus: Either to contradict Moses (Lev.20:10) and be condemned as a false prophet or to condemn the woman to death and be accused of usurping Roman authority. Jesus answered them that the one among them who was sinless should first cast a stone at the woman. Some think that Jesus was not condemning adultery but the idea was that since none of her accusers stayed to condemn her, He was not going to pass a sentence on the woman.

Jesus came to save men and not to destroy them. So, forgiving the woman and any other person who repents and turns from sin, was part of Jesus' obligation. However, this is not a license for us to continue to sin against God. Anyone who sins shall surely die. As Christians, we should not take the patience of God for granted; we must remember the command that all men everywhere should repent (Acts 17: 30).

*PRAYER:*
Lord Jesus, give me the grace to live above sin all the days of my life, _*Amen.*_

*TEXT:* JOHN 7: 25-53 (NKJV)

7:25. Now some of them from Jerusalem said, "Is this not He whom they seek to kill?
7:26. "But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is truly the Christ?
7:27. "However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from."
7:28. Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, "You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.
7:29. "But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me."
7:30. Therefore they sought to take Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
7:31. And many of the people believed in Him, and said, "When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this [Man] has done?"
7:32. The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him.
7:33. Then Jesus said to them, "I shall be with you a little while longer, and [then] I go to Him who sent Me.
7:34. "You will seek Me and not find [Me,] and where I am you cannot come."
7:35. Then the Jews said among themselves, "Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
7:36. "What is this thing that He said, 'You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come'?"
7:37. On the last day, that great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
7:38. "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."
7:39. But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet [given,] because Jesus was not yet glorified.
7:40. Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, "Truly this is the Prophet."
7:41. Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "Will the Christ come out of Galilee?
7:42. "Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?"
7:43. So there was a division among the people because of Him.
7:44. Now some of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
7:45. Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why have you not brought Him?"
7:46. The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this Man!"
7:47. Then the Pharisees answered them, "Are you also deceived?
7:48. "Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in Him?
7:49. "But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed."
7:50. Nicodemus (he who came to Jesus by night, being one of them) said to them,
7:51. "Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?"
7:52. They answered and said to him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search and look, for no prophet has arisen out of Galilee."
7:53. And everyone went to his [own] house.

*MESSAGE:*

Jesus' words in our text “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink” alluded to the theme of the Messiah's life-giving blessings (Isa. 12:2,3:44:3, 4:58:11) Jesus used the term 'living water' in John 4:10 to indicate eternal life. In our text, He used the term to refer to the Holy Spirit. Wherever the Holy Spirit is accepted, He brings eternal life. He also empowered Jesus' followers to live a life of righteousness to gain eternal life.

Jesus Christ is the river of life and the fountain flowing freely everywhere and whoever drinks from it shall never be thirsty again. This is a great invitation for you to come and drink in order not to be thirsty again. Come to the river of life and drink to have everlasting life. The Holy Spirit is available to all who believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. This is not automatic but one must thirst and empty every other desire so that the Holy Spirit can come and fill our vessels. The Holy Spirit does not dwell in a dirty place -we must be holy to receive a holy thing.

*PRAYER:*
Father; please give me the living water to drink so that I will not thirst again. _*Amen*_

*THE DAILY DEVOTIONAL.* CHURCH OF NIGERIA _(ANGLICAN COMMUNION)_

*DATE:* MONDAY, 4TH MARCH, 2024 *THEME:* CHRISTS MESSIAHSHIP REJECTED BY HIS PEOPLE

*TEXT:* JOHN 7: 1-24 (NKJV)

7:1. After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for He did not want to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him.
7:2. Now the Jews' Feast of Tabernacles was at hand.
7:3. His brothers therefore said to Him, "Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing.
7:4. "For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world."
7:5. For even His brothers did not believe in Him.
7:6. Then Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
7:7. "The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil.
7:8. "You go up to this feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, for My time has not yet fully come."
7:9. When He had said these things to them, He remained in Galilee.
7:10. But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
7:11. Then the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, "Where is He?"
7:12. And there was much complaining among the people concerning Him. Some said, "He is good"; others said, "No, on the contrary, He deceives the people."
7:13. However, no one spoke openly of Him for fear of the Jews.
7:14. Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
7:15. And the Jews marveled, saying, "How does this Man know letters, having never studied?"
7:16. Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.
7:17. "If anyone wants to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or [whether] I speak on My own [authority.]
7:18. "He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.
7:19. "Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?"
7:20. The people answered and said, "You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?"
7:21. Jesus answered and said to them, "I did one work, and you all marvel.
7:22. "Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
7:23. "If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?
7:24. "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."

*MESSAGE:*

The Gospel of John and other Synoptic Gospels contain cases of Christ's rejection by the Jews. The evidence of this in our text corroborates the comment of John, the baptist: "He came unto His own, and His own received Him not (John 1: 11). On many occasions that Jesus performed miracles that should ordinarily have spurred the Jews to believe in Him as their Messiah, such as the healing of the man at the Pool of Bethesda (John 5); healing of a man born blind (John 9); raising of Lazarus from the dead (John 11), etc; the Jews rather responded with controversy and rejection. Paul would later show his dismay at the rejection of Christ as Messiah by his people and prayed for their salvation (Rom. 10: 1-2). The Jews were looking for a messiah that would deliver them from Roman oppression and establish their kingdom. They were also deceived by their wilful ignorance, familiarity, self-centeredness, self-righteousness and unbelief.

Many today also equate Jesus to prophets, religious founders and miracle workers and do not appreciate him as their Saviour and Messiah. It is not that they cannot believe; it is that they would rather not believe. It is not that they need more evidence; it is that they fail to act upon the plethora of evidence available to them. Are you denying the available truth about the messiahship of Jesus? Repent now before it is too late.

*PRAYER:*
Lord, help me never to deny You as my Messiah and Saviour now and always, _*Amen.*_
