TODAY’S DEVOTION (WEDNESDAY 1ST October 2025)
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” Psalms 23:1-4 NKJV
WELCOME TO THE 274th DAY OF OUR YEAR OF VICTORY
Welcome to a new month, the tenth month of our year of victory, a season that overlaps with our year of strategic victories. Get ready for overlapping blessings. Hallelujah!!
The Blessings of the LORD for your life will come and it will overlap itself. Before you recover from one, His mercies will hit you with another, in Jesus precious name. Amen and amen. Satan has filled lives with overlapping curses, crises, and sorrows. But God want to fill them with overlapping blessings.
There are people who go through overlapping illnesses, lack, poverty and disappointments. When a curse sits on someone’s life the person’s troubles overlap themselves. They do not allow the person to rest. You find their victims entering fresh troubles while the last one is finishing and on and on.
For instance, the middle east around the nation of Isreal, and their close Arab neighbors seems to be having overlapping wars, and bloodshed. There are human lives that are like the middle east. There is always one bad report or the other.
God’s answer to such overlapping miseries is His overlapping blessings. Someone may ask if the blessings of the LORD can overlap themselves.
Yes, God Himself said so. He said if we diligently obey His voice (the teachings of the Bible), we will come to the place where His blessings will be overlapping themselves in our lives. The Bible puts it this way:
“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.
And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God: Deuteronomy 28:1-2 NKJV
TO OVERTAKE MEANS TO OVERLAP, IT MEANS TO OVERLAP THEMSELVES.
God’s blessings can so fall on us that they will begin to overlap themselves. That is, before we recover from one blessing, another will show up, and on and on. If you believe, and fix the totality of your energy on it, the Bible says you shall have it.
Joseph went through hell for 13 years. When the time came for God to favor him, the blessings that fell in one day were overlapping themselves.
Pharoah will pronounce something, and before he finishes, he will pronounce another and by the time it was evening, one man who did not even go to school, was made the minister of agriculture, the prime minsters of Egypt, a father to Pharoah and the president of the Egyptian parliament. That is how overlapping blessings behave.
The Bible says,
“Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
You shall be [g]over my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to your word; only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you.” And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
Then Pharaoh took his signet ring off his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand; and he clothed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck.
And he had him ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried out before him, “Bow the knee!” So he set him over all the land of Egypt.
Pharaoh also said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man may lift his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”
And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnath-Paaneah. And he gave him as a wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On. So Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt. Genesis 41:39-45 NKJV
OVERLAPPING BLESSINGS DO NOT CARE WHETHER YOU ARE EDUCATED OR NOT.
They do not care whether you like it or not. Once the lines fall unto you in pleasant places, and your obedience is complete, they will begin to fall upon you. All we should care about this month is complete obedience. People who are tried by the word who obey it to the full, will come into the season of overlapping blessings.
May they fall upon you this month, and beyond. May your obedience be complete, and may you not be lacking in anything.
I believe this month the blessing of the LORD shall overlap themselves in our lives. The blessings of the last months of 2025 will overlap with the initial blessings of the coming year, the year 2026. God wants us to believe His word and pattern for our lives.
The LORD is at the center of our lives, so His blessings will overlap themselves in our lives. I choose to believe in His will for my life. I do not know about you. I believe that the next set of days will be the most exciting and fulfilling in the name of Jesus Christ.
When God is at the center of your life, and His blessings begin to overlap themselves in your life, the days have no choice but to make themselves exciting and fulfilling for you. There is a generation that times and seasons honor and make their life beautiful. It is the generation of those who serve the LORD in Spirit and in truth.
It is a generation of people whose tenacity in following the ways of the LORD, and uncompromising resolutions to live only for Him has placed on the chariots of God’s uncommon grace. Yes, they know how to ride along with God even if they are caught up with storms steaming from the consequences of walking with the LORD.
God literally places them in the chariot of His glory. That is the generation every believer in Christ this end time must strive to become part of. The flight of glory is about living with the redeemed of the LORD, but there is a work to be done – there are many who are yet to board this flight, and our job is to bring them in!
IT IS THE LAST FLIGHT. THE FLIGHT OF THE GLORIOUS DEPARTURE OF THE SAINTS.
That is why God is releasing overlapping blessings these seasons so that we can be fully prepared and play the role of getting others fully prepared as well. You may have flown in the best aircrafts in the world, or rode in the best cars in the world, if you have not flown or driven in the Chariots of God’s glory, you are missing something.
These are days of horsemen, days of riding on horses in the glory. These are no longer days of living by human strength. The Bible made it clear that by strength shall no man prevail. These are days of going back to the very strength Adam used in staying on the face of the earth before the fall – an uncommon strength drawn from the fullness of GOD that was on display in the garden of Eden.
It may interest you to know that the first man never survived by his own strength. He survived by the strength of Jehovah!! One of the primary reasons for the overlapping blessings that are coming is to help us succeed by the strength of God. With overlapping blessings, you do not strive with your strength but the strength of Jehovah.
May the LORD use His overlapping blessing to get you over the plans of the wicked and help you succeed in any clime you find yourself this month in Jesus precious name. May He satisfy you early with the blessing. May He raise you above all who rises against you. May He shelter you and be your man of war this month!!
Our devotional text says:
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” Psalms 23:1-4 NKJV
It is my prayer that the LORD will be our shepherd this month, that we will be able to hear His voice, see His glorious light leading us through the darkness of this world and taking us from one day to the next. May His overlapping blessings respond to our prayers, fasting, obedience to His voice, giving, our saying no to sin and all we do to worship Him in spirit and in truth in Jesus precious name. Amen!!
MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION!
“May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend you; May He send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion;
May He remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah
May He grant you according to your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your purpose. We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners! May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Psalms 20:1-5 NKJV
