TODAY’S DEVOTION (SATURDAY 14TH FEBRUARY 2026)
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Romans 8:31-35 NKJV
WELCOME TO THE 45TH DAY OF OUR YEAR OF STRATEGIC VICTORY
It is also a day after the end of the 40 days with the blessing, a special season we set aside to seek the mercies of the LORD to guide and help us, not just this year, but the years to come.
God’s mercies for me is personal. I have seen myself survive things that I wondered how. Only to wake up to realize that it was God’s mercies that saw me through.
His mercy has shaped my life for over 49 years. That is why I led the people of the LORD under my apostolic stewardship to seek it for these 40 days, and we believe we found it, because we entered boldly into His presence through the doorways of the precious blood of Jesus. The Bible says:
“But Jesus the Son of God is our great High Priest who has gone to heaven itself to help us; therefore, let us never stop trusting him. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses since he had the same temptations we do, though he never once gave way to them and sinned.
So let us come boldly to the very throne of God and stay there to receive his mercy and to find grace to help us in our times of need.”
Hebrews 4:14-16 TLB
For 40 days we sought the LORD and for 40 days He blessed us. We obtained mercy each day, that is why we are confident. Like our devotional text testified, “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” People God grants mercy cannot be messed up by any evil in time or Eternity.
The mercy of the LORD is the only insurance that takes care of things in all realms of visible and invisible realities. So, we sought the LORD for it for 40 days, and obtained it, now we believe we will be able to find grace in any time of need that might come our way. We are confident. Our minds are completely on Him.
THE BIBLE SAYS HE WILL KEEP THEM IN PERFECT PEACE, THOSE WHOSE MINDS ARE STAYED ON HIM.
The Living Bible Translation puts it this way:
“Open the gates to everyone, for all may enter in who love the Lord. He will keep in perfect peace all those who trust in him, whose thoughts turn often to the Lord!”
Isaiah 26:2-3 TLB
Satan will not let you turn your thoughts often or always to the LORD. He will prefer you having your thoughts on your problems, your sins, your inadequacies, your sorrows, your failures and all that. He knows God will not keep you in perfect peace when that happens.
He also knows that He cannot handle people that God is keeping in perfect peace. He cannot destroy their faith, finances or family. He cannot manipulate them or create problems for them. That is why you must strive to turn your thoughts to the LORD, by meditating in his word day and night and absorbing His truths, listening to messages.
People who trust in God’s mercies turn their thoughts to the LORD often.
They live their days under the power of God’s commanded love. The Bible says He commanded His love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. That is why you do not do anything to earn God’s mercies. You just seek Him for it and have it.
If God will love us while we were yet sinners, how much more now that His blood has washed us from filths and sin and made us a righteous seed. That is why our devotional text today is very significant. It was based on this revelation and divine conviction that God’s servant apostle Paul, wrote to the Church at Rome saying:
“For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:38-39 NKJV
SO LONG AS WE REMAIN IN THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, NOTHING SHALL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD.
It is that love that keeps us from evil and all the enemy do muster against us. The reason we need to keep on righteous paths is because sin has a way of separating men from the love of God. It separated Sodom and Gomorrah from His love and many others even in the New Testament.
It’s very important at this point to understand that the only person that can separate us from the love of God is us; when we take sides with sin and the devil and start doing his bidding, we bring upon ourselves the consequences of sin. Outside that, nothing can separate us from the love of God!
That is why the Bible admonishes that we keep ourselves in the love of God.
We must all learn to keep ourselves in the love of God after such a season of prayers and fasting. It’s possible for a man to do things that take him away from the love of God, and the early Church knew that very well, hence documenting that charge.
Sadly, the heretic preachers among us, who call themselves the preachers of grace, do not know that.
They do not tell us that it is our responsibility to keep ourselves in the love of God by making use of His saving grace upon our lives to live right. They do not tell us that if we do not keep ourselves in the love of God His mercy will cease speaking for us and making way for us among the living.
Child of God it’s a new day! You need God’s mercy to navigate through the waters of hate, spiritual warfare, lack, and all evil works. You need God’s mercy and love to overcome the attacks of those who want you dead this month. You need God’s mercy and Love to overcome the spiritual arrows that may be shot against you this year and the years to come.
SO, KEEP YOURSELF IN THE LOVE OF GOD BY OBEYING THE LORD AND DOING ONLY WHAT PLEASES HIM. JESUS SAYS:
“Yes, ask anything, using my name, and I will do it! “If you love me, obey me; and I will ask the Father and he will give you another Comforter, and he will never leave you.”
John 14:14-16 TLB
This scripture teaches the power of praying in the name of the LORD. But praying in His name and getting answers is not possible if we do not keep ourselves in the love of God by loving the LORD. Loving the LORD is not by our lips but with our lives. That is why, the word said, “if you love me, obey me.”
Simply put, this scripture teaches that it is through obedience we demonstrate our love for God not even through a song in tears. Songs in tears only expresses love for God, or make meaning when obedience is complete. If our obedience is incomplete, we will be vulnerable.
Our devotional text today is full of truths that you can glean from and save yourself from the judgments and condemnation of carnal men and satanic people. When I say judgment, I am not referring to rebukes from people of God who want you to make Heaven. Our Church generation calls rebuke Judgment and conviction condemnation.
When I say judgment, I am referring to verdicts passed against you by evil powers, or by evil companions, terrible church members, witches in their covens, misguided pastors, Church leadership, or dark prophets and prophetesses. I am referring to judgments passed by wolves sitting on some pews or standing behind some pulpits.
People do not understand that when the LORD warned us about wolves, it was not just a reference to preachers, terrible church members are part of the wolves in sheep clothing movement. But I feel strong in my prophetic spirit that the days of victory and prevail of wolves in sheep clothing over some poor ignorant Church members or innocent pastors are over.
GOD WILL BEGIN TO MOVE TO SAVE HIS SHEEP AND SHEPHERDS FROM THE MOUTHS OF THE WOLVES IN HIS HOUSE.
When I speak to ministers of the gospel, I usually tell them to do ministry right or they lose their members. I also tell members to respect and honor good shepherds else they come into unredeemable curses. Jesus spoke in His word that He will deliver His sheep from the hands of fallen and perverted shepherds and that there is nothing we can do about it. We just must sit up!
Even members who take delight in attacking God’s true shepherds must become careful. As God moves to save His sheep from the hands of dangerous shepherds, He will also move to save His shepherds from dangerous sheep. I have had some dangerous sheep in my life and ministry over the years, but God has never given me over to their teeth.
Child of God, it’s a new day in the body of Christ! Keep yourself in the love of God and see Him break out against His enemies that surround you. Some major highlights in our devotional text this morning says:
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? …Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.”
Believe this scripture and use it as your guiding light all through your walk and talk with God. It will put God on His feet to keep and position you spiritually to escape the arrows of the evil one being shot by the hands of wrongly aggrieved ministers of the gospel or Church members the devil has taken over to harm you, if you are one of His shepherds. Amen!!!
MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR THE DAY:
“You whom I [the Lord] have taken from the ends of the earth and have called from the corners of it, and said to you, You are My servant — I have chosen you and not cast you off [even though you are exiled].”
“Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice.”
“Behold, all they who are enraged and inflamed against you shall be put to shame and confounded; they who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish.”
“You shall seek those who contend with you but shall not find them; they who war against you shall be as nothing, as nothing at all.
“For I the Lord your God hold your right hand; I am the Lord, Who says to you, Fear not; I will help you!”
“Fear not, you worm Jacob, you men of Israel! I will help you, says the Lord; your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.”
Isaiah 41:9-14 AMPC.
To birth an End Time army within our apostolic territories that will join the global spiritual force of Jesus Christ in destroying the last enemy and converting the Kingdoms of this world into that of God and of His Christ!
