Mark 16:17-19 (KJV): And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
OUR SPIRITUAL LANGUAGE
Our theme scripture is very significant because it reveals some of Jesus' last words before He ascended into glory.
Jesus left believers with a great commission: to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19). He knew this mandate was not something one could accomplish in their natural ability. As such, He endowed believers with supernatural abilities—one of which is the gift of speaking in tongues.
As a believer, you are an ambassador of heaven to the nations. How can you stand in such a privileged position yet not know the language of the jurisdiction you represent? Imagine a foreign diplomat who cannot speak any language from their home country. That would be strange, to say the least. Likewise, it is equally unusual for a Christian not to speak in tongues, for tongues are a heavenly language.
Peter's first notable sermon, which led to the conversion of about three thousand souls, began after this experience (Acts 2:41). The disciples were only able to move from Jerusalem to Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth after this encounter (Acts 1:8).
All of this demonstrates that, to be an effective minister, you need the gift of tongues. Tongues build you up in the spirit and enable you to pray according to God’s will because it is the Spirit praying through you. Take time to understand what speaking in tongues does for your spirit. If the Bible says they edify you (1 Corinthians 14:4), what does that mean? Tongues have degrees—learn about these as well and how to operate in them. Go even further and ask God for the gift of interpretation, for it is also available to you. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: 1 Corinthians 14:2; Acts 2:4
GOLDEN NUGGET: To be an effective minister, you need the gift of tongues. Tongues build you up in the spirit and enable you to pray according to God’s will because it is the Spirit praying through you.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this Word. The Bible says that the disciples spoke as the Spirit gave them utterance. I embrace a lifestyle of praying in tongues—building, repairing, and edifying myself through Your Spirit. As I do, I am sharpened in my service to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Proverbs 22:6 (KJV): Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
FAMILY SERIES: TRAIN UP A CHILD - INAUGURATION (FIRST WORDS)
The Hebrew word for train in our theme scripture is chanak, which is translated, among other things, to mean inaugurate.
What we regard as the birth of a child is actually a transition from one world into another. In the world the child formerly existed—the world of the womb—the baby had parts that made up their person, but these were not exercised. For instance, the child had eyes but could not see, and a nose but could not breathe through it.
When the child transitions into the physical world, they must begin to exercise these body parts to function in this new realm. This world has its own laws and principles, and that child must be inaugurated, initiated, or oriented into it.
One of the principal methods of inauguration is through the first words a child hears during infancy. In Luke 2, we see Simeon speaking into the life of Jesus. He was inaugurating Him, declaring, among other things, that He was “a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of Israel” (Luke 2:32).
Parents, the moment your child is born, welcome them into the world with words of life and blessing. Declare that they are entering a world of possibility, power, influence, affluence, grace, and peace. Speak over them, affirming that violence will be far from them, and the wicked and unreasonable will not come near them.
Tell them that God will favor them, that the wealth of kings is theirs. Declare that they will be great on the earth and wiser than all their peers. Tell them that Jesus is Lord and that He died for their salvation. Preach that first sermon to your child.
Even when you visit a friend or relative who has given birth, take the opportunity to speak words of blessing over the newborn. This is the act of inauguration—setting their path through the power of your words.
FURTHER STUDY: Luke 2:25-35; Jeremiah 1:5

Apostle Grace Lubega
Psalm 51:17 (KJV): The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
OF BROKENNESS
Brokenness is not a one-time occurrence. It should be a consistent posture of the heart, not something reserved for times of trouble when seeking God’s intervention.
If you have observed children, you may notice that they often become contrite when they have done something wrong and been caught. For instance, a child who breaks a glass may suddenly become humble, and responds to the parent easily when asked to do some task or chore.
Similarly, some Christians exhibit brokenness only when faced with challenges. They become prayerful and seek God earnestly when their job is at risk, their marriage is in turmoil, or they receive a troubling diagnosis from a doctor. However, when the situation improves, they often revert to a state of indifference.
Child of God, while you may be able to access certain blessings through intermittent brokenness—such as the restoration of a struggling marriage, the saving of a job, or physical healing—there are greater treasures that require a life of consistent brokenness.
One of these treasures is inner wisdom. There are dimensions of wisdom and revelation that only God can teach and realms in the Spirit that only He can take you to. These are accessible through perpetual and not occasional yieldedness to Him.
I urge you to allow God to work through you continuously—not only during moments of crisis. Break before Him daily, and He will reveal the depths of His heart to you. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Isaiah 66:2; Isaiah 57:15
GOLDEN NUGGET: There are dimensions of wisdom and revelation that only God can teach and realms in the Spirit that only He can take you to. These are accessible through perpetual and not occasional yieldedness to Him. Break before Him daily, and He will reveal the depths of His heart to you.
PRAYER: My Father, I thank You for this Word. Today, I offer my heart to You and place it on Your altar, asking You to work in me thoroughly and completely. May my pursuit of You never be casual but constant—the very reason for my existence. Break and mold me daily, and may my flesh never stand in the way of hearing Your voice. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Genesis 37:18-20 (KJV): And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh. Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
KINGDOM FINANCE PRINCIPLES SERIES: SAFEGUARDING DREAMS
It is one thing to have a dream, but it is another to possess the power to interpret it.
In the Bible, Daniel exemplifies a man who had the ability both to dream and to interpret. When Nebuchadnezzar dreamt and forgot his dream, Daniel accessed the spirit realm, retrieved the dream, narrated it to the king, and provided its interpretation (Daniel 2:1-49).
Joseph, on the other hand, was gifted with the power to interpret the dreams of others, such as Pharaoh. Because of his ability to interpret Pharaoh's dream, Joseph was made governor over Egypt (Genesis 41:39-44).
However, just as there are people who can interpret your dream, there are also those who can destroy it. This was the case with Joseph’s brothers, as seen in our theme scripture.
What, then, is the lesson here? You must be cautious about who you share your dreams with, especially when they are still in their early stages—mere concepts.
Have you ever shared a project idea with someone while it was still in its infancy, only for it to die shortly afterward? Or had an idea that seemed promising but, the moment you shared it with certain individuals, it was aborted?
You must not discuss your dreams with just anyone who is willing to listen. Instead, submit your dream or idea to someone with the wisdom and ability to guide you and help bring it to fruition. What you must avoid is indiscriminately sharing your dreams with the wrong people. This is one of the key principles for safeguarding your dreams.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this Word. I know it is Your desire for me to excel and manifest the great ideas You have placed in my spirit. You have given me the wisdom to discern whom I can trust with my dreams and whom I should not share them with. The wicked and unreasonable who seek to destroy and kill them are far from me. I am surrounded by destiny helpers who can interpret and support the dreams You have given me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Psalm 37:4 (KJV): Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
DELIGHT IN THE LORD
The Hebrew word for delight in our theme scripture is ‘anag, which also means to be soft or pliable.
This reveals the true essence of delighting in the Lord—it requires flexibility and a willingness to be molded by Him.
Examine your life. How malleable are you?
Are you the kind of Christian who resists God's leading because it seems inconvenient?
Do you only allow Him to work through you when it fits within your schedules and plans?
Today's devotion is an invitation to a life that truly delights in God. This comes by cultivating an intimate relationship with Him. To delight in Him means to be consistently yielded, allowing Him to shape you according to His will and purposes.
Make yourself available to Him in every season. Be the kind of Christian who remains committed to God both in times of hardship and in times of ease. Hallelujah!

Matthew 14:29-32 (KJV): And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
THE TRIAL OF YOUR FAITH I
Have you ever wondered why Jesus did not rebuke the wind in our theme scripture? He had done it before, as we learn from Mark 4:39. But in this particular instance, He did not calm the sea.
There are winds that God does not rebuke because they are necessary for the trial of your faith. These winds often test those who dare to step out in faith—like Peter, who walked on water.
What you need is the wisdom to discern that this type of wind is not meant to be rebuked. Instead, your role is to fix your eyes on the Lord who said, "Come."
Today's devotion speaks to the man or woman who started a business or project against all odds, only to face challenges that seem determined to shake their confidence.
It speaks to the Christian who dared to believe and took steps others might consider foolish; the believer who gave to God despite having little; the one who served faithfully even when everything in them wanted to give up.
You stepped out in faith, and now it feels like the winds are trying to prove you wrong. Perhaps those still in the "boat" are mocking your boldness.
Keep your eyes on the Lord! You shall not sink! The winds are only temporary. Your victory is just around the corner. In a short while, you will be counted among those who walk on water, leap over walls, and achieve the impossible. Hallelujah!

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
THE TRIAL OF YOUR FAITH II
Our theme scripture highlights Peter doing the seemingly impossible: walking on water. Notice that when he first stepped out of the boat, he walked on water. Even when unbelief caused him to begin sinking, the Lord steadied him, and together they walked on water back to the boat!
When Jesus and Peter returned to the boat, the Bible says the wind ceased.
Let me reveal a mystery to you. The Greek word for ceased in this scripture is kopazo, meaning "to grow weary or tired." Essentially, the wind grew weary and tired.
What is God teaching us here?
Child of God, you can tire the devil. If you know how to fight in faith, you can frustrate him until he grows weary.
The devil may apply pressure and throw every obstacle in your path, but you must never give up. Persist in your trust in the Lord! If it’s pain, when the devil intensifies it, increase your endurance. If it’s a challenge in your career, business, or ministry, and the situation worsens, toughen up and expect better days.
I have said this before, and I will say it again: the devil may fight hard, but he cannot fight for long. You, on the other hand, have divine tenacity to endure and prevail. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Romans 5:3; James 1:2-3

I am a warrior in spirit, and I know how to fight until the end. No demon in hell can intimidate me because the Greater One lives in me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

If it’s pain, when the devil intensifies it, increase your endurance. If it’s a challenge in your career, business, or ministry, and the situation worsens, toughen up and expect better days.
I have said this before, and I will say it again: the devil may fight hard, but he cannot fight for long. You, on the other hand, have divine tenacity to endure and prevail. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Romans 5:3; James 1:2-3
GOLDEN NUGGET: If you know how to fight in faith, you can frustrate the devil until he gets weary. The devil may fight hard, but he cannot fight for long. You, on the other hand, have the divine tenacity to endure and prevail.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. Your Word says that this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. I do not draw back, give up, or give in. I am a warrior in spirit, and I know how to fight until the end. No demon in hell can intimidate me because the Greater One lives in me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

2 Corinthians 4:17 (KJV): "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;"
THE TRIAL OF YOUR FAITH III
Every trial of your faith is preparation for your next level.
God allows your faith to be tested not just to measure your endurance but because He desires to promote and elevate you to higher realms of responsibility, grace, and power.
When speaking to Simon about his test, Jesus said, "Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat. But I have pleaded in prayer for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. So when you have repented and turned to me again, strengthen your brothers" (Luke 22:31-32 NLT). This test positioned Simon to become a source of strength for his brethren.
Similarly, after Abraham was tested with the command to sacrifice his son, the Lord declared,
"By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;" (Genesis 22:16-17).
Whenever you find yourself in a trial or tough situation that challenges your faith, rejoice in what lies ahead. Understand that you are about to be elevated to a new level and experience greater glory.
Do not cower in self-pity. Instead, laugh at the situation and say, "Oh, Lord, I thank You for the amazing things You have in store for me. This situation is only temporary. I expect a far greater weight of glory—more increase, more favor, and greater expansion. Hallelujah!" That is the mindset of a believer!
FURTHER STUDY: Luke 22:31-32; Genesis 22:16-17
GOLDEN NUGGET: Every trial of your faith is preparation for your next level.
PRAYER: My Father, I thank You for this word. Thank You for the boldness to face every situation without fear. No matter what I encounter, I know who is in charge. I am excited about the days ahead. I see promotion, success, favor, and supernatural opportunities. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Apostle Grace Lubega
Song of Solomon 2:15 (KJV): "Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes."
FAMILY SERIES: RENOVATION VS MAINTENANCE OF MARRIAGE
There are two kinds of couples in marriage: those who have mastered the art of daily maintenance in their relationships and those who are a disaster waiting to happen, requiring major renovations in their marriages.
What does this mean?
Consider the analogy of a house. You may notice a leaking tap in your kitchen, a broken gutter, or a damaged door. You can choose to address these issues as soon as they arise. Alternatively, you might ignore them, allowing the problems to accumulate until the house requires an extensive and costly renovation.
The same applies to marriage.
Often, when things appear to be fine, we tend to overlook the small issues because some aspects of the relationship are still functioning well. For instance, you might take comfort in having a roof over your head and ignore the leaking taps or broken doors.
If you consistently neglect the small things that need fixing and only focus on what still seems functional, you may one day wake up to discover that your marriage is in need of significant and costly repairs.
Renovations can be very expensive—sometimes even more costly than the original investment in the house. Some couples, overwhelmed by the cost, may consider moving to a "new house" (divorce or separation), while others struggle to gather the resources to restore the old one. As a couple, you must decide early—ideally from day one of your marriage—to prioritize maintenance over renovation. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 13:4; Genesis 2:24
GOLDEN NUGGET: As a couple, you must make the choice, especially from day one of your marriage, to prioritize maintenance over renovation.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this word and for the precious gift of marriage. Your Word says that marriage is honorable in all things. Grant me the wisdom to recognize what needs to be addressed in my marriage and the discernment to deal with it at the right time. May I not overlook the small issues or allow little foxes to spoil the vine. Thank You for the grace to nurture my marriage with diligence and love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Apostle Grace Lubega
2 Peter 1:1 (KJV): Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
PRECIOUS FAITH
Faith is exceedingly precious to God. The Bible teaches that without faith, it is impossible to please Him (Hebrews 11:6).
The Greek word for precious used in our theme scripture is isotimos, whose root translates to mean honor or value. This reveals that God honors a person who chooses to believe in Him.
When the Bible speaks of God honoring His servants, it is not simply because they are anointed or serve Him, but because they have chosen to trust Him.
Why is faith so precious?
Faith is the law by which we are saved. The Bible says, "For by grace are ye saved through faith" (Ephesians 2:8).
Faith is the principle by which believers are called to live. "The just shall live by faith" (Hebrews 10:38).
By faith, we receive the righteousness of God. "Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe" (Romans 3:22).
Faith is our response to God's grace, the foundation of our relationship with Him, and the key to accessing His promises. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Ephesians 2:8; Hebrews 11:6
GOLDEN NUGGET: Faith is our response to God's grace, the foundation of our relationship with Him, and the key to accessing His promises.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. I trust You wholly in every circumstance of my life. You are my beginning and my end, my foundation and strength. I choose to stretch my faith daily and make room in my spirit for great and impossible things because I know that You are able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that I hope or expect. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
