Family, I want to encourage each one of you to share your testimony in this group. Your testimony matters. It is the story of what God has done in your life, through your life, and for your life. There is nothing to be ashamed of, because it is not about glorifying man it is about glorifying God. 📖 “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.” Psalm 107:2 📖 “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” Revelation 12:11 Many of your family and friends don’t actually know your full story. They don’t know where God brought you from, how He saved you, or how He changed your life into who you are today. That story needs to be shared. If you would like to share your testimony on my YouTube channel, I can come to you and record it, or you can record it yourself and send it to me. Let’s not hide what God has done. Let’s speak boldly and give Him the glory. Your testimony might be exactly what someone else needs to hear to believe that God can change their life too. #BibleStudy #VerseByVerse #Gospel #dagoodnews #follow #share #LikeFollowShare #JesusCentered #GodFirst #WordOfGod #PreachTheWord #ChristianLiving #Scripture #Faith #JesusIsLord #DaGoodNews #YouTube #Grow #LordsBook #ChristianLordsbook #ChristianFacebook #DailyDevotional #Jesus #God

Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today. i. Skip to content Marriage Devotional Devotional for Married couples Posted onApril 19, 2026 by Editor 31 Days To A Stronger Marriage – Day 30 Books for Healthy Relationships ‘May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ.’ 2 Thessalonians 3:5(NLT) Your marriage won’t be defined by the size of your struggles but by the size of your commitment to overcome the struggles together. Couples who make it work “til death do us part” aren’t the ones who never had a reason to get divorced. They’re simply the ones whose love and perseverance was always stronger than their reasons for quitting. Those two ingredients (love and perseverance) might be the two most powerful forces in a marriage. If you remain steadfast in your love for each other and unshakeable in your commitment to each other, your marriage will never fail!

John 5:17 He could not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief. Matthew 13:38 Power to Heal What a glorious truth that “the power of the Lord is present to heal.” But there was a place where His power to heal was not a present help in trouble. There was a place where He could not help them – because of their unbelief. He Healed All He was never unwilling to give, for over and again we read, He healed them all Matt.12:15. We read in Luke chapter 4 that, when the sun was setting, ALL those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them” Luke 4:40 Almighty Power God’s arm is not short. His heart is not cold – His power is not diminished.. for His healing touch comes through the almighty power of the almighty God – but He could not do many mighty works there.. because of their unbelief.” Matt.13:58 How sad – Rich Blessings God desired to pour out health and healing – but their foolish bias prevented Him. Their proud hearts were tightly shut against the rich blessings He brought.. hardened against Him, because of familiarity with Him! He desired to pour out on them healing and wholeness, but they dismissed Him. He came with rich blessings in His hands but carried them away with a sad heart. The Open Heart The heart that is open to His presence will gladly partake of all His grace and love. Some even are sufficed to gather the crumbs that fall from the tables of others: “For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance, but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.” Luke 19:26 Abundant Blessings Oh yes, He will give abundantly and He will give more abundantly – pressed down, shaken together and running over. Luke 6:38 There is never any lack of power to save – nor any lack of blessings to receive, yet we may be near to Him, and miss out on the blessings He is wiling to bestow – for hardness of heart.. Prevented by Unbelief He may approach us, desiring to impart rich gifts of strength, comfort and joy. He may come bearing gifts of wholeness and health; wisdom, love and help, and yet He may be prevented by unbelief – as He was that time so long ago, “He came unto His own and His own received Him not…” John 1:11 Channels of Blessing We ourselves must be in a position to accept that which He comes to bring. We also must be in a condition to receive all that He comes to give – to welcome His gifts through whatever channel He chooses to send them. We too can close our hearts to Christ and keep His blessings outside our lives.. for weak as we are, divine Omnipotence will never compel His blessings upon us. There must be a willingness to receive. There must be a heart open to His tender advances. Hearts of Unbelief It is often because of unbelief, that God’s power is prevented from working within. He is able and He is willing and He is ever present to help in time of need.. but He will never force us to accept His gifts. That choice is ours and ours alone. “How often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and yet ye would not!” Luke 13:34 Willing Hearts I wonder how many blessings we have forgone because of our unbelief. May our hearts be ever open to hear His voice. May our hearts be willing to receive the blessings He wants to give.

Evening Prayer I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. ⏤ Psalm 4:8 Prayer is the nearest approach to God and the highest enjoyment of Him that we are capable of in this life. ⏤ Jonathan Edwards Now, at the end of the day, our Father, we come back to You. You’ve heard our prayers. You’ve kept us from harm. You’ve blessed us in many ways. We thank You for all the blessings we’ve had today, for the health and comfort we’ve enjoyed. We now bring all that we’ve done today to Your feet. Whatever has pleased You—please accept and bless. The things we’ve done that didn’t please You—we ask for Your forgiveness and for You to cleanse our hearts from sin. The efforts we’ve made to help or comfort others—please accept and use them. We’ve tried to be cheerful in difficulties and discouragements. We thank You for the strength You’ve given us to endure. If we’ve cast shadows on anyone’s life today by fretting or discontent, we ask for Your forgiveness. We’ve tried to speak kind words to those we’ve met, and we ask You to use those words to bring cheer and courage. Now, as the day ends and darkness surrounds us, we ask You to shelter us. You are our keeper. You never sleep. We will be safe through the night because You will be watching over us. We don’t forget our friends. Some are far from us, but all are close to You. Some of our friends may be in trouble. Some may be in great need. Some may be near death. You know all their dangers and needs; please give each of them the blessing that will do them the most good. Remember the homeless and the lonely tonight. Receive us now into Your care, keep us through the night, and bring us to the morning light if it is Your will. If not, bring us to Heaven’s morning, which is far better. We ask in Jesus’ precious name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/15/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22ND, 2026. TOPIC: REVERSING SHAME AUTHOR: Pastor E.A Adeboye MEMORISE: Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame. Zephaniah 3:19 READ: John 2:1-11 (KJV) 1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. MESSAGE: Sometime ago, a woman came to the church, saying, "Please, help me, I don't know what to do. My husband keeps wandering aimlessly at night without being in full control of his senses." We led her to Christ and prayed with her. Shortly after, she was promoted at her workplace and got a new car. As she couldn't drive, she begged her husband to drive her to church so that her pastor could bless the car. He agreed and told her that he would only drive to the church premises, but he wouldn't enter the building. He did so and sat in the car while his wife entered the church building. As he sat in the car, he could hear the sermon being preached. After some time, an altar call was made, and he went inside the church to give his life to Christ. Some weeks later, the devil attacked him while he was driving to work. He lost his senses immediately and began to drive around aimlessly until the Holy Spirit took control and instructed him to drive to the church. When he got to the church and stepped out of the car, people could tell immediately that something was wrong with him. They sprang into action and helped him into the church. We prayed for him, and God took control of the situation. God knew beforehand that trouble was coming for the man, and if he hadn't become born again, he would have gone mad. Therefore, He arranged for a place where he could turn to in the day of trouble. I pray that every plan of shame the enemy has arranged for you will be cancelled today, in Jesus' name. In today's Bible reading, a couple was getting married, and Jesus was invited to the feast. Everything was going well until they ran out of wine. They had not even started their lives together, but they were already experiencing a crisis and were on the verge of being put to shame. Thankfully, Jesus turned what would have resulted in shame into honour, as they later had more than enough good wine to serve their guests. Beloved, Romans 10:11 says that whosoever believes in God will not be ashamed. If you are currently in a shameful situation, put your trust in God and cry out to Him. He will heed your cry and turn your shame into a testimony, in Jesus' name. PRAYER POINT: Father, please never let me experience shame in any area of my life, in Jesus' name. BIBLE IN ONE YEAR 2 Kings 11 - 13 HYMN 27: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS 1. What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear; what a privilege to carry Ev'rything to God in prayer. Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh, what needless pain we bear- All because we do not carry Ev'rything to God in prayer. 2. Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged, Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a Friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness, Take it to the Lord in prayer. 3. Are we weak and heavy laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Saviour, still our refuge, Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer. In His arms He'll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a solace there.

PROVERB OF THE DAY (Proverbs 22) 1. A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, Loving favor rather than silver and gold. 2. The rich and the poor have this in common, The LORD is the maker of them all. 3. A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished. 4. By humility and the fear of the LORD Are riches and honor and life. 5. Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse; He who guards his soul will be far from them. 6. Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. 7. The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender. 8. He who sows iniquity will reap sorrow, And the rod of his anger will fail. 9. He who has a generous eye will be blessed, For he gives of his bread to the poor. 10. Cast out the scoffer, and contention will leave; Yes, strife and reproach will cease. 11. He who loves purity of heart And has grace on his lips, The king will be his friend. 12.The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, But He overthrows the words of the faithless. 13. The lazy man says, “There is a lion outside! I shall be slain in the streets!” 14. The mouth of an immoral woman is a deep pit; He who is abhorred by the LORD will fall there. 15. Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of correction will drive it far from him. 16. He who oppresses the poor to increase his riches, And he who gives to the rich, will surely come to poverty. 17. Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, And apply your heart to my knowledge; 18. For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you; Let them all be fixed upon your lips, 19. So that your trust may be in the LORD; I have instructed you today, even you. 20. Have I not written to you excellent things Of counsels and knowledge, 21. That I may make you know the certainty of the words of truth, That you may answer words of truth To those who send to you? 22. Do not rob the poor because he is poor, Nor oppress the afflicted at the gate; 23. For the LORD will plead their cause, And plunder the soul of those who plunder them. 24. Make no friendship with an angry man, And with a furious man do not go, 25. Lest you learn his ways And set a snare for your soul. 26. Do not be one of those who shakes hands in a pledge, One of those who is surety for debts; 27. If you have nothing with which to pay, Why should he take away your bed from under you? 28. Do not remove the ancient landmark Which your fathers have set. 29. Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men.

Today we’re talking about something you wear every single day… shoes!” “But not just regular shoes. These are God’s Shoes of Peace! They’re part of His special armor that helps us stay strong on the inside.” “Back in Bible times, Roman soldiers wore tough sandals with little metal studs on the bottom. They helped the soldiers stand strong and not slip. Paul used that picture to teach us something important: God gives us peace that helps us stay steady.” “God’s peace helps your heart feel calm, even when life feels crazy. It helps you stand strong, make good choices, and walk with confidence wherever God leads you.” https://www.professorandfriends.com/

NEED TO KNOW. CONSTANTINE’S CONNECTION WITH THE KNIGHT’S TEMPLAR. No, the Roman Emperor, Constantine, did not start the Knight’s Templar. The Knights are certainly not guardians of the secrets of ancient past, as Hollywood has portrayed them. They do not connect us to a race of strong men or visitors from another time and place. They were a secret society connected to the little horn. A connection between them and Constantine is in the cross Constantine and his army reportedly saw in the sun one day. He heard the words, “In this sign, conquer!” It was not the cross of Calvary, but more of the “iron cross”, shorter, more compact, seen in the tattoo on our Secretary of War. This cross was adopted by the Knights Templar in the Crusades. The Crusades were Holy Wars the medieval church waged on in the Middle East hundreds of years ago. They were planned to wrestle holy sites in Israel from infidels. We were recently alarmed, however, to see a recent 250th anniversary “patriot” song written and illustrated with Knights Templar soldiers. The Founders of America were trying to distance themselves from the bloodshed in Europe which came as a result of religion controlling the country, a church-state co-joined. The Bible says such a relationship is SPIRITUAL ADULTERY, in Ezekiel 16 and in Revelation 17. President Trump promised the evangelicals that they would be given more power than they ever had before. As our country approaches 250 years in July, all sorts of religious events are being held. We must remember that second beast in Revelation 13 is LAMBLIKE. It professes Christianity and the country was blessed with religious freedom. We noticed President Trump and other leaders are participating in reading the Bible orally outside from April 18 to April 25. The entire Bible is being read aloud from Genesis to Revelation at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. It is interesting that this museum was also the place for the Religious Liberty Committee to meet and hold its hearings. They have sent their recommendations just last week to the Office of Faith, inside the White House. A religious “rededication” of the country is being planned in May. We have had a National Day of Prayer annually since Civil War days, but this year’s celebration will be different. It was Constantine who brought all this to be. How? He called bishops to Rome in meet in council. He wanted a unified country, a church and state! He thought by joining his pagan government and Christianity he would have a more unified government to fight the barbaric hordes of marauders attacking the empire. Some Christians were observing Sunday at this time as they were influenced by Rome’s Mithras devotion to the sun. Why not slide that worship to the SON! No, my friends, compromise never strengthens the church. The result was political leaders joining the church just because it was popular. Constantine enacted the first civil Sunday law in 321 A.D. but it did not mention Christ or Christianity. It speaks of the "venerable day of the Sun". There was a controversy in the 2nd and 3rd century among Christian churches about whether we should celebrate communion on Passover, as Christ instituted it, based on the lunar calendar, or establish an Ishtar/Easter date, based on the solar calendar and spring equinox. An influential bishop at one of the seven churches mentioned in Revelation had died. The bishop at Rome took advantage of the vacated seat of Constantine and the death of the other bishop, and established the date of Easter on the solar calendar. He also designated Sunday as the Lord’s Day. They call it the weekly Easter. And of course they claimed that John received his visions on Sunday. The Bible doesn’t say that. It says the Sabbath is the holy of the Lord, HIS HOLY DAY, Isaiah 58:13. You may be aware that Constantine’s mother claimed to be a Christian who had visions directing her to holy sites in Palestine. At one point Constantine built a church over what she saw as the sepulcher of Christ. It is called the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and during the second Holy War, about 1114-16 A.D., a guard was established there by Hugue de Payens, a general in the army of Crusaders. He established an elite group of knights, called the Knights Templar to protect these holy sites. So this is a second connection to Constantine and the Holy Wars. So, why are we seeing this Red Cross all over the place right now? Because it's a Holy War against infidelity. And when they get control of the government, whose will be the infidel? The lamb will speak as a dragon.
