TODAY’S DEVOTION (Sunday 14th September 2025)
“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 257TH DAY OF OUR YEAR OF VICTORY
We have indeed seen God’s Victorious hands helping us through and through for 257 days. His words certainly do not fail. No force in Heaven or on earth can make it fail.
The reason for that is simple – God’s word has an inbuilt performance power. It has capacity to fulfill itself. That is why you save a lot of energy if you choose to sail on the wings of God’s word. We have been sailing on it through faith and will keep sailing till our time on earth is over. He said in His word:
“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
When the word of the LORD leaves the throne room to our hearts, the first thing it does is to water it. It waters our hearts with the presence of God it comes with. If our hearts are humble and contrite, the moisture of God’s presence will rest on it and make the word we heard to bring forth and bud in our spirits.
When it buds in our spirit, it will produce in our lives – giving seed to the Sower and bread to the eater. In other words, bring the word to pass 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!
We must read it, meditate in it, believe it, apply it in our lives, and make it the center of our lives.
God’s word has an inherent Heavenly energy; it releases that energy into our lives when we treat it well. Yes, it releases into our lives if we do not take it for granted. In fact, the word of the LORD is for our hearts not just for our heads. God designed it to be the secret of His amazing strength in our lives.
IT HAS CAPACITY TO DO SO MUCH IN OUR LIVES, SO MUCH THAN WE CAN EVER IMAGINE.
It has the power to take us from a life of sin to a life of righteousness, from deception and error to truth, from sickness to health, from fear to faith, and from spiritual blindness to spiritual sight. It has all it takes to create and create, build and plant, defend and distinguish, etc.
If you want your world to be better than it is now, go for the word of the LORD. 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 to do God’s blessed will.
That is, you must speak GOD’s living word to men’s heart if you want them to do GOD’s will. 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
THE LIVING WORD OF GOD TRULY HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO EXPOSE, SIFT, ANALYZE AND JUDGE THE VERY THOUGHTS AND PURPOSES OF A MAN’S HEART.
We can also see clearly 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 in you, maybe so that 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.
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 a word from God that presents how God wants us to live our days. From the text, you will understand that one of the major things God wants us to keep filling our days with is “doing well,” or doing good deeds.
In other word, He wants us to spend our days putting smiles on our fellow human beings. He wants us to spend them making the world a bit easier for those He allows to cross our path. That is one of the things God does not want us to grow weary of doing.
The Bible is actually full of things GOD wants us to grow weary in doing and things He does not want us to grow weary in doing. You will discover them wherever the word is not diluted. You will discover that God 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 ON THEIR NECK.
The difference between poverty and prosperity lies in a man’s value to men and to 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 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 week today, decide to be useful to God and to the right people. Do not allow the wrong people to 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, spiritual or natural, to the life of everyone you come across; 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 touches you go back the same.
Let something positive be left in their lives.
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.
Do 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.
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
