The Issued Command
Listen
Today, The Lord wants to remind us that He is in control and is still ruling and reigning over our lives. He is in charge of the whole universe, the whole known and unknown world. The elements that go into forming our circumstances are created by God even the demons that persecute and try to stop our growth are created by the Lord. But when we declare over our circumstances, our circumstances will align so that our lives will bring worship and praise for the Lord. We have to constantly speak over our circumstances like our jobs, relationships our City, and constantly point out that they are created by God and need to give praises to God.
It is the same voice and order and declaration of the Lord that we can now inherit and speak. When we are going through difficult circumstances we tend to put it back to God, asking for help but He has given us the same Authority, Creative power, wisdom and Understanding. Jesus is the Wisdom of God with which the universe was created and that same Wisdom is available for us. When we open up our mouths and issue a command, things that have never been seen can come into existence. We may have all kinds of lack of real issues at hand, but when we open our mouths and issue a command as representatives of the Lord and as those who carry His likeness, it has to come into being. As the Lord created and spoke the land, water and all living things into being so it is when we speak things into existence they come into being. Everything that God has spoken over us as we have understood in today’s verse can never be revoked.
When we open our mouth to make a decree, things that have never been seen can come into existence. Share on XWhen people commit, it can be revoked midway or they withdraw from it. It could be a boss promising promotion at the office or a Husband stating He will be there forever or the Church. All may change or revoke from their statements but the Lord never does. Everything the Lord set into place was by the power of his decreed word and because the Word of the Lord is eternally powerful and impactful, that will remain in existence forever till the time He doesn’t withdraw his word or speak another word. It is a reminder that God will not withdraw His love care and provision over our lives once he has said it, It is so for our entire lives. Today, It is up to us to represent the same grace, character and heart that God has for his people by speaking life-giving and gracious words. May our day be filled with life, Grace and Constant reflection of who God is in our community.

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
