TODAY’S DEVOTION (WEDNESDAY 4TH FEBRUARY 2026)
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
Galatians 6:9 KJV
WELCOME TO THE 35TH DAY OF OUR YEAR OF STRATEGIC VICTORY
We give glory to God for another day of strategic victories. If it is our year of strategic victory, then each day is a day of strategic victory! Hallelujah!!! God’s word certainly does not fail. No force in Heaven or on earth can make it fail. It has an inbuilt performance power.
In other words, it has the capacity to fulfill itself. That is why you save a lot of energy if you choose to put your life under the control and governing force of God’s word. He declared:
“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
So shall my word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”
Isaiah 55:10-11 NKJV
Let’s talk about the word of the LORD! I mean every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD, the Lamb who sit upon the Throne in eternity, and roars His word into time through the pages of the scriptures as the Lion of the tribe of Judah. The Bible says:
“A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken! Who can but prophesy?”
Amos 3:8 NKJV
When His word leaves the throne room to our hearts, the first thing it does is to water it. It waters our hearts with His presence, the very presence it comes with as it proceed from His mouth. If our hearts are humble and contrite, the moisture of the presence will rest on it and make the word bring forth and bud in our spirits.
When it buds in our spirit, it will produce blessings in our lives, as seed to the sower and bread to the eater. In other words, it will come to pass by accomplishing what God pleases in our lives. Creation itself is sustained by the word of God’s power.
IT IS THEREFORE IMPORTANT THAT IF WE WANT TO BE SUSTAINED BY GOD’S POWER, WE DON’T TAKE HIS WORD FOR GRANTED!
His word has inherent energy to release into our lives if we do not take it for granted. In fact, the word of the LORD is for our hearts. God designed it to be the secret of amazing strength in the lives of His Kingdom citizens. It has capacity to take you from sickness to health, from fear to faith, and from spiritual blindness to spiritual sight.
It has all it takes to create and re-create, build and plant, defend and distinguish, etc. If you want your world to be better than it is now, go for the word. It holds the foundation of everything. And nothing good happens for too long if it is absent in people’s hearts.
If the word is absent in a marriage, that marriage is gone. If it is absent in an economic life, that life is gone. No matter how rich you are, if GOD’s word is not at the center of it all, you are poor in disguise. Without the word of GOD your world will fall apart. It is that powerful!
If you put a man who is sold out to the word in an Island, and give him sufficient time, he will fill it with things that never existed there before through the power of GOD’s word. It creates things out of nothing. It is our tool for outsourcing Heaven to the earth. If it is not in our hearts and mouths, we will pay dearly for its absence in the day of trouble. There will be nothing flowing out of our spirits to stop the enemy.
The word has what it takes to discern the thoughts and intents of men’s hearts and direct it towards doing God’s blessed will.
THAT IS WHY THE CHURCH IS CALLED TO SPEAK GOD’S LIVING WORD TO THE HEARTS OF MEN THROUGH THE EXECUTION OF THE GREAT COMMISSION.
God wants none to perish, He wants all men to turn to Him and live for His will. That can only be accomplished when the words that God speak discern the thoughts and intents of our hearts. The Bible says,
“For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.”
Hebrews 4:12 AMPC
What a beautiful rendering of the Holy Scripture!! Yes, it’s exciting to learn that God’s living word has what it takes to expose, sift, analyze and judge the very thoughts and purposes of a man’s heart. It clearly teaches that the word of the LORD does not just take care of the spiritual, it also takes care of the natural. The Bible says:
“it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature],”
If you want God to work on you, so He can work through you, then go for His word. His words contain the inherent power and revelation that can be of great help to you. If you want to survive the wicked world we live in, do not allow anything to cut you off from the word of the LORD.
Some of the greatest mistakes I made in life happened when I did not consult the word or allow it to guide me. If we allow anything to cut our decisions away from the word, our world will be full of the unwanted. But if the word is allowed to rule our decisions, we will see its beautiful power at work in our lives, and through our lives.
OUR DEVOTIONAL TEXT TODAY IS ONE OF THE STATEMENTS TO HAVE EVER PROCEEDED FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD THROUGH HIS HOLY APOSTLE – PAUL.
It is one of those words from God that is worthy to be put in our hearts. From the text, you will understand that one of the major things God wants us to keep filling our days with, in Bible terms is called, “doing well” or doing Holy Spirit inspired good deeds.
In other words, He wants us to spend our days allowing His Holy Spirit to inspire and enable us to put smiles on our fellow human beings. He wants us to spend them yielding to His Spirit to make the world a bit easier for those He allows us to cross paths. It is one of the things God does not want us to grow weary of doing.
The Bible is full of things GOD wants us to grow weary in doing and things He does not want us to grow weary in doing. He wants us to grow weary doing evil and not grow weary doing good!
Everything that fills a man’s life with an absence of God’s manifest presence and sends the Holy Spirit far from him is one of those things that Heaven wants us to grow weary doing. In fact, God wants us to grow weary doing things that leaves our lives vulnerable to the evil one.
He wants us to be useful in the lives of others according to His plans for our lives. Sadly, many do not know that being useful to people around us is very important in life.
You will fill your life with darkness if you are not useful to people GOD placed in your life. God wants us to be assets and not liabilities. He wants us to be valuable to others, not a pain in their neck.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POVERTY AND PROSPERITY LIES IN HOW VALUABLE A MAN IS TO STRATEGIC MEN AND GOD.
If your life is adding value to God’s plans and purposes and those around you, your prosperity will not be a matter of if but a matter of when. Our devotional scripture today says, “you will reap if you faint not.”
However, you will not reap good if you are adding value to the wrong people. In fact, adding value to the wrong people will make you reap sorrow.
As you begin a fresh day today, decide to be useful to God and to the right people. I have decided too. I have decided not to allow the wrong people to make me faint or lose heart, because if you add value to the wrong people they will return terrible things back to you, making you hate the principle of adding value to others.
Make up your mind to add value, spiritually or naturally, to the life of everyone in your space: from your spouse to your kids, to your pastor, to your Church, to your nation, to your neighbors, to those you know and those you may not know. Let no one who touch you go back the same. Let something positive be left in their lives.
Maybe a word of counsel, a healing virtue from the LORD, one form of hospitality or the other, etc.
Leave a deposit of value in the lives that will cross your path this week. It could be a smile, a word of kindness or encouragement. It could be an appreciation. It could be a moment of prayer or preaching.
Declare the rest of your life a season of adding value to all the right people around you, and you will experience a great leap in life.
Start doing something that will make someone have a reason to live. Do what Job did in his days. He lived a life that added value to all. Hence God did not allow his trial to consume him. Heaven gave him double for his trouble.
I believe the message of today has been passed to us all. You will not fail in Jesus precious name. Amen!!
LET THIS SCRIPTURE BE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR YOU TODAY
When the ear heard, then it blessed me, and when the eye saw, then it approved me;
Because I delivered the poor who cried out, the fatherless and the one who had no helper. The blessing of a perishing man came upon me, and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
Job 29:11-13 NKJV
