Dear Father, Whenever I come across the passage where Jesus says, “But the hour cometh, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him,” I wonder: why do You seek worshippers if most of what we do on Sundays, everywhere around the world, is worship? Today, I pondered three significant words in that sentence: “true worshippers,” “spirit,” and “truth,” and how they shape the entire passage. They reveal that worship is only true when it is not devoid of the elements of spirit and truth. But how, then, can we tell when we are worshipping in spirit and in truth? My first mistake was assuming that worship begins when we sing in church. However, I have learned about the possibility of worshipping even in silence. And the sobering truth that while singing is a form of worship, it is possible to sing without truly worshipping. It all depends on the posture of our hearts and, invariably, our lifestyle. How often do we speak words--powerful words--yet without our hearts in alignment with them? The troubles of life may weigh so heavily on our minds that our spirits struggle to find expression, in aligning our hearts with our words. And with so many responsibilities, we subconsciously begin to schedule even during moments of worship, as though time spent on our knees is too great a sacrifice to offer. I could go on, Father, listing the many limitations that hinder the attainment of true worship. Isn't this why You seek true worshippers? To practice true worship is to know You, and in knowing You, we learn self-mastery.

Dear Father, There was a period in my life when I would afford myself little or no rest until my desires became a reality. Today, I reflected on how the answers to my previous prayer requests have now become prayer requests themselves, often in the form of deliverance from where I once prayed to be. I believe it is okay when change is motivated by the need for growth, but how do we give meaning to the restlessness and quiet dissatisfaction, of staying in places we once prayed so hard to be? Is this how growth presents itself, or were my ambitions faulty? Prophet Isaiah testifies to this when he said, “The twilight I longed for has become a horror to me.” This realization has humbled me in my pursuit of new goals. Now, I find myself seeking answers to every ambition as intensely as I would pursue them. I have come to realize that every new prayer request flows from a place of purpose alignment. I sought to align my ambitions with eternal values, and I found fulfillment in every answered prayer that reflected that purpose. For instance, my desire to build schools was driven by the need for influence. I desired wealth when I perceived the need for warfare globally and its impact on kingdom values. I sought knowledge so that, through freely giving, ignorance might be eradicated. Wealth took on a meaning beyond status. Certifications became more than symbols. Assets became more than luxury. I began to pray differently when I discovered purpose. #purpose #discovery #ambition #meaning #wealth

BIBLE TEACHING: BAPTISM & HOLY COMMUNION - WHAT DOES SCRIPTURE SAY ABOUT BABIES AND CHILDREN? There are two important practices in the Christian faith that many believers ask about: baptism and Holy Communion. The goal is not to create arguments, but to let the Word of God guide us in truth and love. WHAT IS BAPTISM? Baptism is an outward act that points to an inward reality. It shows that a person has believed in Jesus Christ, repented of sin, and identified with His death, burial, and resurrection. Romans 6:3–4 “We were buried with Him through baptism into death… that we also should walk in newness of life.” Baptism is connected to: - faith - repentance - obedience - new life in Christ In the New Testament, the consistent pattern is: hearing the gospel → believing → baptism Acts 2:38 “Repent and be baptized…” Acts 8:12 “When they believed… they were baptized…” Acts 8:36–37 “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” JESUS HIMSELF AS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE Jesus is our ultimate model in everything. Before beginning His public ministry, Jesus was baptized: Matthew 3:13–16 “Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him…” Jesus was not baptized as a baby, but as an adult at the beginning of His ministry—showing identification, obedience, and public alignment with the will of the Father. If Jesus, who is sinless, chose baptism as an adult act of obedience, it shows us the pattern of intentional faith and public declaration. WHAT ABOUT BABIES AND BAPTISM? The Bible does not give a clear example of a baby being baptized. Babies cannot: - understand the gospel - repent - believe personally - confess faith in Christ So from the New Testament pattern, baptism follows personal faith and repentance. This is why many believers understand baptism as something that happens when a person is old enough to make their own decision for Christ. WHAT DID JESUS SAY ABOUT CHILDREN? Jesus loves children and welcomes them: Matthew 19:14 “Let the little children come to Me…” This shows children are precious to God. But blessing children is not the same as baptizing them. Children should be: - loved - prayed for - taught the Word - brought up in Christ Deuteronomy 6:6–7 “Teach them diligently to your children…” WHAT IS HOLY COMMUNION? Holy Communion, or the Lord’s Supper, was given by Jesus as a remembrance of His sacrifice. Luke 22:19–20 “Do this in remembrance of Me.” Communion is about: - remembering Jesus - proclaiming His death - honoring His body and blood 1 Corinthians 11:26 “As often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.” WHO SHOULD TAKE COMMUNION? The Bible teaches self-examination: 1 Corinthians 11:28–29 “Let a man examine himself…” This means Communion is for those who can: - understand what it represents - discern the Lord’s body - examine their heart - participate in faith and reverence WHAT ABOUT CHILDREN AND COMMUNION? Children can be taught about Jesus from a young age, but Communion requires understanding and discernment. Babies cannot: - examine themselves - understand the cross - discern the meaning of the bread and cup So Communion is not an infant ritual it is a faith-based remembrance. SIMPLE SUMMARY Baptism - follows repentance and faith - is a public declaration of belief - is shown in Scripture after personal decision - Jesus Himself was baptized as an adult, setting the example Holy Communion - is remembrance and proclamation - requires self-examination - requires understanding and discernment Children - should be taught the Word - should be brought to Jesus - should be discipled early - can choose baptism and Communion later when they understand and believe FINAL WORD Let us not fight over tradition. Let us stay grounded in Scripture, led by the Holy Spirit, and focused on raising our children to truly know Jesus Christ. Ephesians 4:2–3 “Be completely humble and gentle… eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Romans 14:19 “Let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.” May our homes be built on truth, love, and the Word of God. Jesus Christ remains our perfect example and our foundation. #BibleStudy #VerseByVerse #Gospel #dagoodnews #follow #share #LikeFollowShare #JesusCentered #GodFirst #WordOfGod #PreachTheWord #ChristianLiving #Scripture #Faith #JesusIsLord #DaGoodNews #YouTube #Grow #LordsBook #ChristianLordsbook #ChristianFacebook #DailyDevotional #Jesus #God

DAY 1 — Marked Theme: Don’t Lose What Marked You Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:27, Zechariah 4:10 A small nation stood on the edge of battle. Outnumbered. Uncertain. No guarantee of victory. Their king—Óengus II—did something most leaders only do when they’ve run out of options… He prayed. Not a polished prayer. Not a public performance. A desperate one. And the next morning, something unusual happened. Across the blue sky… clouds formed a white cross. Not straight. Not upright. An X-shaped cross—like the one tied to Saint Andrew. That moment didn’t just win a battle. It marked a people. Long before influence… Before inventions… Before global impact… Scotland was marked by a moment of dependence. Because most people don’t have a problem with being marked. They have a problem with remembering it. There was a moment in your life… when God felt real when conviction was sharp when your direction changed when you knew—you were not your own Maybe it was: a prayer you meant a breaking point a quiet encounter no one else saw You didn’t question it then. You responded. But time does something subtle. Life gets busy. Pressure builds. Opportunities come. Compromises whisper. And slowly… not suddenly… You start building a life that no longer reflects what marked you. Scripture doesn’t glorify big beginnings. “Do not despise small beginnings…” (Zechariah 4:10) Because God never needed something big. He needed something real. That cross in the sky wasn’t about size. It was about alignment. And here’s the uncomfortable truth: You can still be active… still be respected… still be progressing… …and no longer be aligned with what first marked you. God still uses small things. “God chose the weak things of the world…” (1 Corinthians 1:27) But we often trade that weakness for control. We move from: dependence → self-reliance surrender → strategy calling → comfort The Question Not: “Have you ever been marked?” But: “Are you still living from that mark?” Lord, Take me back—not emotionally, but spiritually— to the place where You first marked me. Strip away what I’ve added. Correct what I’ve drifted into. Realign me with what was real. I don’t want progress without You. I don’t want influence without truth. I don’t want a life that forgets its beginning. Let me not lose what marked me. Amen.

🕊️🔥 MONDAY ADMONITION 🔥 Day 103 of 365 (Gregorian 2026) 👑 Year 5786 on the Jewish Calendar 🗓️ > Theme: Hold Fast Your Crown👑 The Voice of the Great Apostle 👑🔥🕊️ 📖 SCRIPTURE ANCHOR ⚓ “Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” 📜 Revelation 3:11 (KJV) “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him… and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John.” 📜 Revelation 1:1 (KJV) 🔥 KINGDOM👩🏻‍🏫 ADMONITION🪖 Understand the order of Revelation: Jesus Christ is the Author. 👑 John is only the writer. 🕊️ The message is not John’s opinion it is the voice of the Great Apostle Himself. 🔥 John was on the island of Patmos, not seeking platform, not chasing recognition but minding his business in obedience. And there, heaven opened. This is the pattern: Revelation comes to those who are positioned, not distracted. Now hear the warning to the Church: “Hold fast your crown.” Crowns are not only given they can be lost. ⚠️ And not always by open enemies. Sometimes by: • Friends without discernment • Family without understanding • Spouses without alignment • Leaders without truth These are gateways through which Mystery Babylon seeks to corrupt, distract, and steal. 🔥 This is not the hour to be casual. This is the hour to be vigilant. ⚔️ Guard your faith. Guard your position. Guard your crown. ⚔️ KINGDOM👑 TRUTH✝️ Revelation demands responsibility. What is not guarded will be taken. 🔥 PROPHETIC✍🏾 DECLARATION😇 👑 I hold fast to my crown. 🔥 I remain vigilant in the Spirit. 🕊️ I discern every influence around me. ⚔️ No one takes what God has given me. ✨ I stand firm in truth and authority. 🕊️ MONDAY🔌 CHARGE 🔋 👑 Guard your crown intentionally. 📖 Stay anchored in the Word. 🔥 Be spiritually alert at all times. 🙏🏽 PRAYER 🧎🏽‍♂️ Father, thank You for the revelation of Your Word.

GOD WILL SHOW YOU HIS PATH Psalm 16:11 reveals a powerful truth: God is not only the giver of life, but also the guide of life. When the Psalmist says, “You will show me the path of life,” it emphasizes divine direction—God leads us in the way that brings purpose, fulfillment, and eternal significance. This “path” is not merely about physical living, but about walking in alignment with God’s will. The verse continues with the promise of fullness of joy in God’s presence. This teaches that true joy is not found in circumstances, possessions, or human approval, but in a close relationship with God. Finally, “pleasures forevermore” points to the eternal reward and satisfaction that come from abiding in Him—both now and in eternity. In essence, this scripture assures us that when we follow God, we are led into a life of purpose, joy, and everlasting fulfillment. #Christianity #faith #lifeInChrist #psalms #Eternallife

*Is your shortcomings getting in the way if your fear of the Lord?* God wants us to truly have the fear of Him. This type of fear can be seen via our love and obedience towards him. Saul whom found grace in the site of God, who rose from nothing to something. But despite this grace operating in his life, he had his Shortcomings. Saul(the first king of Israelites) became so full of himself, that God's instructions counted for nothing before him, he chose to please himself and the people around him above pleasing God. Some of his shortcomings in 1 Samuel 15 were: -He build a monument unto himself -He kept the spoils from the war against the amalakeites as opposed to total destruction -He spared the life of amalekeite King -He kept not the Lord's commands When we deliberately choose to disobey God, just like Saul (the first king of Israelites) did at often times - it can lead to your replacement and ultimate ruin. Saul kept on with his misdeeds while God was busy preparing David for his replacement. Questions to Ponder on: 1.In what Area are you currently disobeying God? 2.Why do you find it difficult to obey God? 3.What can you do to prevent yourself from falling short of God's grace? 4.Are you taking God's instruction seriously or lightly? Prayer: What has been given to you by Grace, May you not Mishandle it, unto your own destruction in Jesus name. Lord help me to be in alignment in my walk with you, so that I won't be a disappointment and replaced in the process. ©ADEBAYOMALAIKA PS: Adebayo Malaika Ojo is a very resourceful person, a moment spent with him will not only awaken you but set you on the right track in fulfilling purpose and destiny.

*🕊 DOMINION DAILY DEVOTION ~ DAY 102* *DATE: 12TH APRIL 2026* *TOPIC: FOLLOWING GOD'S BLUEPRINT* *ANCHOR SCRIPTURE:JOSHUA 1:8 (NKJV)* *“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night… for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”* Devotional Message: Yesterday, we established that the Holy Spirit empowers us to fulfill our divine assignment. Today, we understand that empowerment must be accompanied by alignment with God’s instructions—His divine blueprint. When God instructed Moses on how to build the tabernacle, He gave him specific details regarding the measurements, materials, and pattern to follow. Moses obeyed exactly as instructed, without deviation. As a result, when the work was completed, the glory of God descended upon the tabernacle. This shows us that God’s presence and approval follow obedience to His pattern. In the same way, every assignment God gives comes with divine instructions. God has provided His Word as our manual and blueprint—guiding us on how to live, serve, and fulfill our purpose. Many have zeal, but lack direction because they do not follow the Word. However, when you align your life with God’s instructions, you walk in His will and experience fruitfulness. That is why God instructed Joshua to meditate on His Word day and night. Success and prosperity were tied to obedience and consistency in the Word. Beloved, it is not enough to be called or empowered—you must also be guided. The Word of God provides direction, wisdom, and clarity for every step of your journey. When you follow God’s blueprint, you avoid unnecessary struggles and align yourself with His divine plan. *Prayer:* Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your Word which guides my life. I receive grace to study, meditate, and obey Your instructions daily. Help me not to lean on my own understanding, but to follow Your blueprint for my life. As I align with Your Word, let my life reflect Your glory and bring fulfillment to my assignment. In Jesus’ name, Amen. *Daily Bible Reading:* Joshua 1:1–9, Exodus 25:1–9, Exodus 40:33–38, Psalm 119:97–105 *Author* : Alfred Wabuko Manyasi *Contact* : *Email* :Dominionvoicesminisrty[gmail].com *Facebook* : Alfred Wabuko Manyasi *🌐 Dominion Daily Devotion,2026* *© Dominion Voices Ministry*
