A New Day

A new day is God's gift to mankind — wrapped in mercy, handed to us before we even ask for it.

We did not earn it. We simply woke up into it.

A new day is God giving mankind the opportunity to start again on a clean slate — every mistake of yesterday left behind, every regret given room to breathe, every failure not the final word.

A new day is God speaking, quietly but clearly, into the heart of every man and woman:

You have strength

Use it. Don't bury it in fear or let it sit idle while the day calls for it.

You have weakness

Realize it, and don't be ashamed of it. Trust Me to help you, because My strength is made perfect in your weakness.

You have opportunities

Let Me open your eyes to see them, because some blessings are missed not for lack of provision, but for lack of sight. And when you see them, I will give you the grace to use them well.

You have a threat

Let Me help you and teach you how to overcome it, because I did not give you a spirit of fear. What looks like a wall to you is a door I have already planned to open.

A new day is a day no man on earth can say, "I have used before." It has never been lived. No one has walked in it, failed in it, or triumphed in it — because it did not exist until now. It is untouched, unspent, and full of possibility.

So take this day as it is: a gift, an opportunity, a fresh mercy from God. Use your strength. Trust Him with your weakness. Open your eyes to what He's showing you. And walk boldly past every threat — because He who gave you the day has already given you what you need to live it well.

But a new day is only lived well when it is lived on the right foundation.

The Scriptures outline several essential spiritual pillars that define how humans are meant to truly live — pillars worth carrying into every fresh morning God gives us.

01

Faith

The Bible states multiple times that "the just shall live by faith." Life is sustained by trusting God's promises rather than relying only on what we can see. Every new day is, in a sense, a fresh invitation to walk by faith and not by sight.

Romans 1:17 · Habakkuk 2:4

02

The Holy Spirit

Believers are commanded to "live by the Spirit," letting God's Spirit guide their daily desires, choices, and actions instead of their human nature. The same Spirit who speaks into the heart at the start of a new day is the One meant to lead it from beginning to end.

Galatians 5:16

03

Obedience to Commandments

Keeping God's laws brings life. God told His people to keep His statutes because "the person who does them will live by them." A new day, untouched and unspent, is also a new chance to walk in obedience.

Leviticus 18:5 · Galatians 3:12

04

Love

Walking in unconditional love for God and others is the ultimate fulfillment of life, as "whoever lives in love lives in God." Whatever strength, weakness, opportunity, or threat the day holds, love is the thread that should run through how we meet it all.

1 John 4:16

So take this day as it is — a gift, an opportunity, a fresh mercy from God —

and let it be lived by faith, led by the Spirit, shaped by obedience, and covered in love.

Jesu ni Òrò ti gbe ọ̀rò mi

A Word for the Weary

Jesu ni Òrò ti gbé ọ̀rọ̀ mi

"Jesus is the Word who has taken up my case."

The Wordplay

One breath, two truths

Yoruba carries a confession inside its own grammar. Òrò, spoken with a level tone, is "Word." Ọ̀rọ̀, spoken low, is "matter" — the affair, the case, the situation a person is contending with. To say them together is to declare that these are not two different things after all.

Òrò WORD — JOHN 1:1

Ọ̀rọ̀ MATTER / CASE / AFFAIR

Reflection

He does not speak from a distance

The verb gbé is not gentle. It means to lift, to bear, to shoulder a load too heavy for the one carrying it. It is the language of a case handed to an advocate fully able to win it, or a burden physically taken off someone's back.

To say "Jesu ni Òrò ti gbé ọ̀rọ̀ mi" is to declare three things at once:

• My case is no longer mine to fight alone.
• The One who spoke creation into being is the same One handling what concerns me.
• Because He is the Word, His verdict over my life carries the authority of Genesis 1 — when He speaks, it stands.

This echoes Isaiah 53:4 — He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows — and Psalm 138:8, "The Lord will perfect that which concerns me." What began as a burden becomes evidence of His faithfulness, because the Word who spoke light into darkness is not intimidated by the darkness in my matter.

Declaration

Jesu ni Òrò náà. Òun ni ó ti gbé ọ̀rọ̀ mi.
Ohun tí ó bá sọ ni yóò dúró.

Jesus is the Word. He has taken up my case.
What He has spoken will stand.

FEAR AND FAITH: WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?

 FEAR AND FAITH: WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?

Mark 4:40 (NKJV)

“But He said to them, ‘Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?’”

Mark 5:36 (NKJV)

“As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, ‘Do not be afraid; only believe.’”

Psalm 27:1 (NKJV)

“The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?”

Fear and faith are two different responses to what we encounter in life. In a spiritual context, faith is often presented as the opposite of fear because faith places its trust in God, while fear focuses on uncertainty, danger, and circumstances.

Fear looks at what is seen, but faith looks at what is unseen.

When you are controlled by fear, your attention is often drawn to the visible facts: the size of the problem, the opposition, the circumstances, the limitations, and the things that appear impossible.

But when you operate in faith, your attention shifts from what you can see to what God has said. Faith does not deny the existence of the problem; rather, it recognizes that the power and promises of God are greater than the problem.

FAITH LOOKS BEYOND THE VISIBLE

Hebrews 11:1 (NLT) says:

“Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.”

Faith gives the believer confidence concerning realities that cannot yet be perceived with the physical senses. It enables us to trust God's Word even when our circumstances appear to contradict His promises.

Fear says, “Look at what is happening.”

Faith says, “Look at what God has said.”

Fear magnifies the problem.

Faith magnifies God.

Fear asks, “What if everything goes wrong?”

Faith asks, “What has God promised?”

KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS

Hebrews 12:2 (NLT) says:

“We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.”

The secret to overcoming fear is not simply trying harder to be courageous; it is learning to keep our eyes on Jesus. When our attention is fixed on Him, our circumstances no longer have the final authority over our hearts.

Peter experienced this when he walked on water toward Jesus. As long as his eyes remained on Jesus, he walked by faith. But when he shifted his attention to the wind and the waves, fear took over and he began to sink (Matthew 14:28–31).

Therefore, what you focus on influences how you respond.

If you continually focus on the problem, fear can become stronger. If you continually focus on Christ, your confidence in Him can become stronger.

The believer is called to live by faith and not merely by what is visible.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV)

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”

CONCLUSION

Fear may tell you to run from the storm, but faith tells you to trust the One who is with you in the storm.

Fear looks at the circumstances and says, “It is impossible.”

Faith looks at God and says, “With God, all things are possible.”

Fear focuses on what is seen.

Faith focuses on what is unseen.

Fear magnifies the situation.

Faith magnifies the God who is greater than the situation.

Therefore, do not allow what you see to determine what you believe. Allow what God has said to determine what you believe.

Keep your eyes on Jesus. Trust His Word. Stand in faith. And when fear comes, remember the words of Jesus:

“Do not be afraid; only believe.” — Mark 5:36

Whether you are looking to deepen your walk with God, find uplifting media, or stay updated on kingdom events, this platform is built to encourage and empower you every step of the way.

Clothed in Christ.

Clothed in Christ

It's often said, "And you call yourself a Christian, behaving like that!" This is usually the accusation of unbelievers leveled at believers who fall short of Christ's standard.

The Apostle Paul addressed this directly in his letter to the Colossians:

"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." (Colossians 3:12, NIV)

Paul calls believers to put on these good traits—compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience—not to earn God's favor, but because they are already chosen and loved by Him.

Daily action: Just as we choose our clothes each morning, we should deliberately "clothe" ourselves with these godly traits rather than defaulting to bad attitudes.

Key Virtues to Practice.

Compassion — Caring for the hurts of others.

Kindness — Doing good deeds with a sweet spirit.

Humility — Thinking of oneself without pride.

Gentleness — Choosing softness and mildness over harshness.

Patience — Waiting well and staying calm under stress.

God bless you.

THE THREE DIMENSIONS OF LIFE

Bios, Psuche, and Zoe: The Three Dimensions of Life.

The English language only gives us one word for "life." We use it for a heartbeat, a career, a mood, and a soul all at once — and something gets lost in the flattening. The New Testament writers didn't have that problem. Greek gave them three distinct words, each pointing to a different dimension of what it means to be alive: bios, psuche, and zoe.

In our previous post, we saw that Scripture consistently presents a fuller picture of human existence — one that unfolds not in one dimension but three: physical, soul, and spirit. Today we'll look closer at the words themselves, tracing where each one shows up and what it reveals about the life God intends for us.

1. Bios (Physical Life)

This refers to biological life — the life of the physical body, as well as one's livelihood or material possessions. It is where the modern word "biology" originates.

Biblical Context: It is often used to describe earthly existence or the "manner of life" that can be choked by worldly worries or riches.

Key Verse: "And that which fell among thorns are they, which... are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life (bios)..." (Luke 8:14).

2. Psuche (Soulish Life)

This refers to the psychological life of the human soul, encompassing the mind, emotions, and will. It is the root of the word "psychology."

Biblical Context: It describes the natural life common to all humans — the "self" or the individual personality. Jesus often spoke of "denying" or "losing" this soul-life to find a higher one.

Key Verse: "For whoever would save his life (psuche) will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it" (Matthew 16:25).

3. Zoe (Spiritual/Eternal Life)

This refers to the uncreated, eternal, and divine life of God himself. It is considered the "highest" form of life and is uniquely possessed by God.

Biblical Context: This is the life Jesus came to give to believers — it is not just about living forever in time, but a transformation in the quality of life through a relationship with Christ.

Key Verse: "I have come that they may have life (zoe), and that they may have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).

Conclusion

Put side by side, these three words trace a path upward. Bios keeps the body fed and the bills paid. Psuche gives us a mind to think with, feelings to feel, and a will to choose with. But neither one, on its own, was ever meant to be the summit. Jesus didn't come to improve our bios or optimize our psuche — He came to give us zoe, His own uncreated life, breathed into ours.

That's why He could tell His disciples to lose their psuche in order to find something greater. It isn't a call to despise the body or suppress the soul, but an invitation to stop mistaking the first two dimensions for the whole of life. The abundant life He promised in John 10:10 isn't a bigger bios or a happier psuche — it's zoe, His life, taking root in ours. Understanding the difference changes how we read the rest of Scripture, and how we measure whether we're truly alive

TWO REALMS, ONE LIFE

 Two Realms: Physical and Spiritual.

In the Bible, a realm refers to a domain, territory, or sphere of existence under a specific sovereign authority. Scripture breaks this down into two distinct categories: the physical (earthly) realm and the spiritual (heavenly) realm. The ultimate message of the Bible is that while human kings rule physical realms, God holds absolute dominion over all realms.

"Yes, feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm" (Colossians 3:2, The Passion Translation).

The physical realm is the visible, material order — space, time, matter, and the human body. Scripture treats it as good, purposeful, and derived from the spiritual, even though it is temporary in its present form. The study that follows takes up this physical realm in full, then turns to the spiritual realm, and finally to how Scripture unites the two.

ONE LIFE IN THREE DIMENSIONS.

Life is often lived on a single plane — the visible, the measurable, the physical. Yet Scripture consistently presents a fuller picture of human existence: one that unfolds not in one dimension but three — body, soul, and spirit.

 Paul's prayer for the Thessalonians captures this fully: "may your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless" (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

This is not poetic repetition; it is a window into how God designed us — as physical beings navigating a material world, as soulish beings carrying mind, will, and emotion, and as spiritual beings made for communion with our Creator.

Too often, these dimensions are treated in isolation. The physical is chased for comfort and survival. The soul is trained through education, therapy, and self-improvement. The spirit, when acknowledged at all, is relegated to Sunday mornings or moments of crisis. But a life lived well cannot separate what God joined together. What happens in the body affects the soul. What the soul believes shapes the spirit's posture toward God. And what the spirit receives from Him transforms how we think, feel, and live in the flesh.

This study explores each of these three dimensions — physical, soul, and spiritual life — not as competing priorities but as an integrated whole. Understanding how they interact is not merely theological curiosity; it is essential to walking in wholeness, health, and purpose as God intended.

My Reflection on our position in Christ and it's effect on believers condition of life.

According to Scripture and the teaching of Pastor Poju, “The believer has been made alive together with Christ, raised together with Him, and seated together with Him in heavenly places” (Ephesians 2:5–10).

My Reflection

Your position influences your condition.

When you discover your position in Christ, your life begins to reflect that reality. The position you assign to your spirit, soul, and body determines their condition. For example, when your spirit and soul (the inner man) are positioned in fellowship and communion with the Holy Spirit, the condition of your body (the outer man) is transformed accordingly.

As the Scripture declares in 2 Chronicles 20:15–17, “…take your position, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you.” This reminds us that victory is not achieved through human effort alone but by understanding and standing firmly in the position God has given us in Christ.

Prayer
I affirm my position in Christ. I stand firm in faith and behold the salvation of my God. Amen!

Yours in Christ,

The month of June

In the Gospel of Luke, the Angel Gabriel was sent to Mary in the "sixth month" (Luke 1:26) to announce the conception of Jesus. This marks June as a season of divine encounters, answered prayers, and highly favored blessings.

Prayer: I will have a divine encounter with the Lord. My prayers will be answered and I will be highly favored in Jesus name amen!

Walking with God and Working for God

Reflection on walking with God and working for God.

In the Bible, a walk refers to your personal, daily relationship and intimacy with God. A work, on the other hand, refers to the tasks, ministries, or services you perform to advance His kingdom. Walk represents who you are with God, while work represents what you do for God. While both are essential to the Christian faith, the Bible warns about the danger of working for God without walking with Him. You can work without walking, but a genuine walk with God will naturally overflow into doing His work.

Prayer: God, don't let me be cut off from walking with You while I am busy working for You.

Yours in Christ,

Davidic Warriors

6 Secret to longevity by Pastor E.A ADEBOYE

The secret to longevity is knowing when to hide, when to fight, and when to run. There will always be a time to hide if you are going to last long. 1 Kings 17:1), after Elijah told the king that there would be no rain until he commands it, it was God Himself who told him to go and hide.

Whenever you notice that there will be pressure on you to say certain things or take some actions prematurely or without specific instruction from God, you should go into hiding.  Another time to hide is when brethren try to fight you.

The second secret  to longevity: knowing when to fight. When you are confronted by the devil, you shouldn't run or hide; rather, you must stand and fight. Believers wrestle against principalities, powers, the rulers of darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places. It also says that believers must put on the whole armour of God, but you will notice that there is no piece of armour to protect our backs. This means that the moment a believer turns his or her back on the devil, he will attack the believer.Get up and fight! Never turn your back on the devil; he does not play fair.

EPHESIANS 6:10-17

Another secret to longevity: knowing the times to run. When it comes to dealing with sin, especially lust, the scripture says that we are not just to run away, but we are to flee! The anointing doesn't work on lust, which means that, no matter how strong or anointed you are, the only thing that works is to flee! 

Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. - (2 Timothy 2:22)

1 Thessalonians 5:22 says that you should abstain from every appearance of evil. Beloved, if you want to succeed in the race God has set before you, you must flee from all sins and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. 

To enjoy longevity, especially in the kingdom of God, you must refuel and recharge your spiritual batteries regularly. Read the scripture, fast, and pray regularly to maintain spiritual health.

Recharge your physical batteries by eating right and at the right time. As a married man sex is also a way to recharge your physical batteries so that you won't fall into sin. Your physical batteries must not be neglected, as you need them to succeed in your spiritual assignment.

In summary, The first secret to longevity is knowing when to hide. The second secret  to longevity: knowing when to fight. The third secret  to longevity: knowing the times to run. The fourth secret to longevity is knowing you must refuel and recharge your spiritual batteries regularly. The fifth secret to longevity is knowing you must 

recharge your physical batteries by eating right and at the right time.

The New Man in Christ Jesus, Part 3

The New Man in Christ Jesus, Part 3

Preacher: Pastor Poju Oyemade

Church: Covenant Nation

Series: The New Man in Christ – His Work, Worship & Warfare

Date: 26th April, 2026

The teaching continued the series on The New Man in Christ Jesus, with emphasis on the distinction between the spirit, soul, and body, and how transformation happens in the life of a believer.

It is established that man is made up of spirit, soul, and body.

1 Thessalonians 5:23

The scripture shows the clear distinction between the spirit, soul, and body.

Hebrews 4:12

The Word of God is able to divide between soul and spirit.

The Spirit, Soul, and Body

When a person gets born again, it is the spirit of man that is recreated.

The spirit is the real man.

It is born of incorruptible seed, created in righteousness and true holiness.

However, the soul does not get born again immediately.

The soul is the seat of:

• Thoughts

• Emotions

• Decisions

• Reactions

• Behavioural patterns

This explains why a person can be genuinely born again and still struggle with anger, unforgiveness, wrong reactions, or old behavioural patterns.

The Condition of a Man’s Life Reflects His Soul

The condition of a person’s life is largely a reflection of the condition of the soul.

3 John 1:2

“I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”

If the soul prospers, the outward life begins to prosper.

This means the great error is trying to change outward circumstances without changing the condition of the soul.

Transformation Begins with the Mind

Romans 12:2

“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind…”

True transformation does not begin from the outside.

It begins with the renewal of the mind.

The food of the soul is knowledge.

To change the condition of the soul, a believer must receive the right knowledge and process it properly.

Position vs Condition

A major distinction was made between the believer’s position in Christ and the believer’s condition in life.

• Position refers to what Christ has already done for us

• Condition refers to what is currently being expressed in our lives

Positionally, we are seated with Christ.

Conditionally, our lives may still need to reflect that reality.

The work of the Holy Spirit is to bring the soul into alignment with the believer’s position in Christ.

Why Knowledge Is Important

Paul’s prayers were often prayers for knowledge and understanding.

Ephesians 1:17–18

He prayed that the eyes of their understanding would be enlightened.

This means many problems in a believer’s life are first knowledge problems.

When a person knows what has already been given in Christ, they can begin to walk in the reality of it.

Spiritual Warfare Takes Place in the Soul

Though the believer’s spirit is seated with Christ, the battleground is often in the soul.

2 Corinthians 10:4–5

Spiritual warfare involves pulling down strongholds, casting down imaginations, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

Warfare is not always visible.

It often happens in the thoughts, imaginations, fears, and internal conversations of a person.

Reckoning What Christ Has Done

Romans 6:11

“Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

To reckon means to count as true what God has already done.

The believer does not become a new creation by behaving differently.

Rather, because he is already a new creation, his behaviour must now come into alignment with that truth.

Practical Application

-  Change begins when a believer starts declaring and acknowledging what is already true in Christ.

For example:

• The love of God has been shed abroad in my heart

• I walk in the love of Christ

• I forgive as Christ forgave me

• I am dead to sin and alive unto God

• My mind is renewed by the Word of God

As the soul is renewed, the outward life begins to change.

Key Takeaways

• The spirit is born again, but the soul must be renewed

• Behaviour is largely shaped by the condition of the soul

• The believer’s position in Christ is eternal

• The believer’s condition can change as the soul is renewed

• True transformation begins with knowledge

• Spiritual warfare takes place in the thoughts and imaginations

• The Christian life is learning to walk in the reality of what Christ has already done

Closing Thought

Christianity does not begin with trying harder.

It begins with knowing what Christ has already done, renewing the mind with that truth, and allowing the inward reality to shape the outward life.

The New Man in Christ Is Jesus (Part 2)

The Covenant Nation

Preacher: Pastor Poju Oyemade

Series: The New Man in Christ – His Work, Worship & Warfare

Message Title: The New Man in Christ Is Jesus (Part 2)

Message Focus

Understanding how the new man in Christ lives and expresses himself, especially through the inward man and the soul.

Key Points

1. The Inward Man is Active

The believer is a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17–18), and this new life exists in the inward man, not the outward body.

This new man is an entire new creation. Christianity is not instructing the old man about the new ways in Christ he should now follow. It was that the old man who once lived in that body has now been replaced by an entirely new man in Christ. 

Though the outward man may remain the same, the inward man is renewed daily (2 Corinthians 4:16).

The inward man can:

 • See

 • Hear

 • Feed on God’s Word

 • Worship

 • Engage in spiritual warfare

Spiritual life operates beyond physical senses

2. True Worship is Spiritual

Jesus taught that true worship is no longer about location but about the spirit.

As seen in John 4:23–24, the Father seeks those who worship Him in spirit and in truth.

✔️ Worship flows from the inward man, not outward activities

3. The Inward Man Must Be Clothed

Just as the body wears clothes, the inward man must also be clothed.

Scripture says to put on strength and beautiful garments (Isaiah 52:1–2), and also to put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:13–17).

Spiritual clothing includes:

 • Strength

 • Righteousness

 • Faith

 • Salvation

4. What You Wear Inwardly Matters

A person may have riches but not express them because of what they are wearing outwardly.

In the same way, believers may have riches in Christ but fail to manifest them because they are not wearing the right spiritual garments.

Life responds to what is worn internally

5. Man is Spirit, Soul, and Body

Man is a tripartite being — spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

 • The spirit is recreated instantly

 • The body remains the same

 • The soul is where transformation happens

✔️ The soul is the key area of development

6. The Soul is the Battlefield

Transformation happens in the soul through the renewal of the mind.

As stated in Romans 12:2, believers are transformed by renewing their minds.

The battle is not in the spirit, but in the mind (soul)

7. Putting On the New Man

Believers are instructed to put on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14).

This “putting on” happens in the soul, where what exists in the spirit is expressed.

You wear outwardly what you have inwardly

8. Grave Clothes (Old Patterns)

When Lazarus came out of the grave, he was alive but still bound (John 11:43–44).

This represents believers who are:

 • Spiritually alive

 • But still bound by old thinking and habits

Instruction: Loose him and let him go

9. Renewal of the Mind

The Word of God must be received to bring change in the soul.

As seen in James 1:21, the engrafted Word is able to save the soul.

Strongholds in the soul include:

 • Fear

 • Inferiority

 • Wrong identity

 • Negative patterns

10. The Role of Words

With the heart man believes, and with the mouth confession is made (Romans 10:10).

Words:

 • Shape the soul

 • Reinforce identity

 • Write new patterns

The tongue is a tool for transformation

11. Salvation of the Soul

While the spirit is saved instantly, the soul is saved progressively.

1 Peter 1:9 shows that believers receive the salvation of their souls.

This happens through:

 • The Word

 • Confession

 • Renewed thinking

12. Standing in Freedom

Believers are already free in Christ and must stand in that reality.

Freedom is not something to be achieved later but something to be lived now.

Not: “I will be free”

But: “I am free in Christ”

13. Removing Grave Clothes

There are two primary ways:

 1. Through the Word of God (renewal and confession)

 2. Through the ministry of the Spirit

Core Insight

The spirit is already perfected in Christ.

The believer’s responsibility is to renew the soul so that the life of Christ can be expressed.

Summary

 • The inward man is the real you

 • The soul must be renewed

 • Spiritual realities must be put on

 • Words and the Word transform the soul

 • The believer must live from their identity in Christ.

Independent Christian Small Group

Hello everyone,

My name is Jenyo James Adebayo. I am married to Oseyemi Eunice Jenyo. By God's mercy and His will, I was able to start an online independent Christian small group in 2014. Due to the challenge of online hackers, I created another one in 2021. These small groups were formally called God's General Outreach Ministries and were later renamed Davidic Warriors 1 and 2, respectively. In 2021, a close-knit independent Christian small group was formed for God's servants who are used by God in our small groups. With God's help, we observed a trend of engagement and marriages among our group of friends. My wife and I recognized the need for the kind of knowledge about marriage that we are gaining from our church, Covenant Nation Global, and Ikorodu. Consequently, we decided to create an independent believer’s small group called Couples Corner Worship in 2024, which was a closed small group.

The purpose of Davidic Warriors 1 and 2 independent Believers' small groups is:

- Prayer meeting: We meet online to pray for ourselves, the church of Christ, and our nation Nigeria.

- Word meeting: We share a daily devotional, God's servants' messages, and short clips. We shared an event about the Word Conference and meetings. We shared the inspired word God gave us with our small group. We share biblical principles.

- Share knowledge, skills, and attitudes about ministering through word, prayer, and music.

The purpose of Couples Corner Worship's independent Believers' small groups is:

- It is an association of friends who are married, believers. Seeking God's help, knowledge, and wisdom to handle the institution of marriage.

- Share knowledge, information, skills, and attitudes about marriage through word, prayer, and drama clips.

- Prayer meeting: We meet online to pray for ourselves.

The New Man in Christ – His Work, Worship & Warfare by Pastor Poju Oyemade

Preacher: Pastor Poju Oyemade

Series: The New Man in Christ – His Work, Worship & Warfare

Date: 12th April, 2026

Strong foundation on the New Man in Christ Jesus, focusing on understanding the believer from a New Testament perspective.

2 Corinthians 5:17:

“Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

The emphasis was that the believer is not an improved version of the old self, but an entirely new creation, a new order of being that did not previously exist.

“All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new.” 

The Old Man vs The New Man

The teaching established that the New Testament speaks of two identities:

• The Old Man – corrupt, shaped by sin, rooted in Adam

• The New Man – created after God, in righteousness and true holiness, renewed in knowledge after Christ

Ephesians 4:22–24

Colossians 3:9–10

Salvation is not just forgiveness, it is a change of identity.

The Inward Man vs The Outward Man

A key distinction was also made between:

• The Outward Man – the physical body and external life

• The Inward Man – the hidden man of the heart

2 Corinthians 4:16

1 Peter 3:4

The teaching emphasized that Christianity focuses primarily on the inward man, not outward appearance.

• Outward: appearance, clothing, physical expression

• Inward: character, spirit, righteousness, peace, and joy

Romans 14:17

The Importance of the Inward Man

The inward man is where:

• God works

• Faith operates

• Transformation begins

Philippians 2:13

It was clearly stated that God works from the inside out.

The inward man, once strengthened and developed, determines the outcome of the outward life.

True strength in the believer is not outward, but inward.

What Happens at Salvation

At salvation:

• The inward man is recreated

• The old man is replaced with the new man

• The outward man remains the same, but must now be brought under control

The Christian life is the development and expression of the inward man.

Adam vs Christ – Two Orders of Humanity

 1 Corinthians 15:45–47

• Adam – the first man, earthly, through whom sin and death came

• Jesus Christ (the Last Adam) – the life-giving Spirit, who brought redemption

Through Christ:

• The Adamic race came to an end at the cross

• A new race of men came into existence

1 Peter 1:23

“Born again… of incorruptible seed…”

Third thought communicated is that man is a tripate being. He is a spirit, has a soul and lives in a body.

The soul is the place of expression. The soul doesn't change when you get born-again. It has spent years expressing the life of the old man and has been conditioned and programmed to do that.

Now that the new man exists the soul must learn the laws of this new life.

God seeks to re programme the soul to conform to our new nature in Christ.

Key Takeaways

• The believer is a new creation, not a modified old self

• Christianity is about identity, not behavior adjustment

• The inward man is the focus of God’s work

• True growth is the renewal and strengthening of the inward man

• The outward life is a reflection of the inward condition

Closing Thought

The believer’s journey is to understand who he has become in Christ, develop the inward man, and allow that life to be expressed in daily living.

Christ The Lamb of God

There is a lovely painting by seventeenth-century Spanish artist Francisco de Zurbarán that never fails to move me. Called “Agnus Dei”—meaning Lamb of God in Latin—this painting depicts a spotless white lamb, with all four legs tied together, calmly awaiting its death. 

Christ the Lamb of God is one of the most profound titles given to Jesus in the Bible. It portrays Him as the perfect, innocent sacrifice provided by God Himself to take away the sins of humanity, fulfilling the Old Testament sacrificial system and prophecies.

The Old Testament Foundations

The imagery of the lamb as a sacrifice runs throughout the Old Testament, pointing forward to the coming Messiah.

- In the story of Abraham and Isaac, God provides a substitute: “Abraham said, ‘God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son’” (Genesis 22:8, ESV). This foreshadows God providing His own Son as the ultimate sacrifice.

- The Passover lamb in Exodus is a powerful type of Christ. God instructed the Israelites in Egypt to sacrifice a spotless lamb and apply its blood to their doorposts so that the angel of death would “pass over” their homes (Exodus 12:3-13). The lamb had to be “without blemish, a male of the first year” (Exodus 12:5). This deliverance from physical death through the blood of the lamb pictures redemption from spiritual death through Christ’s blood.

- The daily temple sacrifices involved lambs offered morning and evening for the sins of the people (Exodus 29:38-42), serving as ongoing reminders that sin requires atonement.

- The prophet Isaiah vividly describes the suffering Servant (the Messiah) in lamb-like terms: “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth” (Isaiah 53:7, ESV). Isaiah 53 further explains that this Servant would bear our iniquities: “But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed... the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all” (Isaiah 53:5-6, ESV).

These Old Testament elements established a pattern: a spotless lamb, substitutionary death, blood applied for protection, and atonement for sin—all pointing to a greater fulfillment.

The New Testament Fulfillment in Jesus Christ.

John the Baptist dramatically identified Jesus with this title at the beginning of His public ministry. The next day after baptizing Jesus, John saw Him coming and declared:

> “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29, ESV)

The following day, he repeated: “Behold, the Lamb of God!” (John 1:36, ESV).

This declaration carries deep meaning. Jesus is not just any lamb—He is *the* Lamb *of God*, provided by the Father. Unlike the repeated animal sacrifices that could never fully remove sin (Hebrews 10:4), Jesus’ sacrifice is once-for-all and perfect. He “takes away” sin entirely, offering forgiveness and reconciliation with God to the whole world (1 John 2:2; John 3:16).

The Apostle Peter emphasizes the spotless nature of this Lamb:

> “...but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.” (1 Peter 1:19, ESV)

He connects this to our redemption: we were not bought with perishable things like silver or gold, but with Christ’s blood (1 Peter 1:18-20).

Paul explicitly calls Jesus “our Passover lamb”:

> “For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.” (1 Corinthians 5:7, ESV)

Jesus’ crucifixion occurred during Passover, at the very time the Passover lambs were being slain in the temple. Not one of His bones was broken (John 19:36), fulfilling the Passover requirement (Exodus 12:46). His death provides deliverance from the bondage of sin and death, just as the original Passover brought freedom from Egypt.

In the book of Revelation, the risen and exalted Christ appears repeatedly as the Lamb—worthy of worship because He was slain and has redeemed people from every tribe, language, people, and nation:

> “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!” (Revelation 5:12, ESV)

The Lamb is central to heaven’s throne room (Revelation 5:6), and believers overcome by “the blood of the Lamb” (Revelation 12:11). Revelation even refers to “the book of life of the Lamb who was slain” from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8).

The Meaning for Us Today.

Jesus as the Lamb of God means that salvation is not earned by our works or repeated rituals, but received by faith in His finished work on the cross. His innocent blood was shed in our place, satisfying God’s justice while demonstrating His love (Romans 5:8). Through Him, sins are forgiven, guilt is removed, and eternal life is offered.

Just as the blood on the doorposts protected the Israelites, faith in the blood of the Lamb covers us from judgment. He is both the suffering Servant who died silently and the victorious Lamb who lives forever.

This title invites us to “behold” Him—to look upon Jesus with faith, gratitude, and worship. As the hymn *Agnus Dei* echoes through centuries of Christian liturgy: “Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world, have mercy on us.”

In summary, from Genesis to Revelation, the Bible reveals Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God—the perfect, once-for-all sacrifice who takes away the sin of the world. Trusting in Him brings true freedom, peace with God, and the hope of resurrection.

Understanding and Tracking Your Prayer Watch Hours: A Spiritual Guide.

Author: Shantae White

Date written: Oct 1, 2024

Prayer is one of the most important practices in our walk with God. It helps us build a stronger relationship with Him, align ourselves with His purpose, and stay connected to the Kingdom. One powerful way to strengthen your prayer life is by observing “prayer watches,” which are specific times set aside for different focuses in prayer. But how do you figure out what your prayer watch hours are? Let’s walk through what prayer watches are, how to know which ones you’re called to, and how to honor that time in your spiritual routine.

What Are Prayer Watches?

Prayer watches are based on the ancient biblical practice of dividing the day into specific hours for prayer. In the Bible, particularly the Old Testament, we see the concept of watchmen — those who would keep guard over a city and pray during specific periods. This tradition has evolved, and now many believers observe these “watches” as an intentional way to pray throughout the day and night.

There are eight watches in total, each lasting 3 hours:

First Watch (6 PM — 9 PM): This is a time of reflection, gratitude, and setting intentions for the next day.

Second Watch (9 PM — 12 AM): A time to pray for protection and to combat any spiritual attacks.

Third Watch (12 AM — 3 AM): Known as a crucial time for spiritual warfare and deliverance prayers.

Fourth Watch (3 AM — 6 AM): A period of breakthrough prayers, seeking revelation and fresh anointing.

Fifth Watch (6 AM — 9 AM): Command your day, pray for guidance, and intercede for daily needs.

Sixth Watch (9 AM — 12 PM): A time to pray for growth, wisdom, and clarity in your decisions.

Seventh Watch (12 PM — 3 PM): Seek alignment with God’s will and pray for divine intervention.

Eighth Watch (3 PM — 6 PM): A time of healing, restoration, and preparation for the evening.

How to Know What Your Prayer Watch Hours Are

You may not be assigned to all watches, and that’s okay. God will often reveal the specific watch hours you’re called to through different signs. Here’s how you can tell:

1. Listen to the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit will often lead you into a prayer watch through a nudge or burden. If you find yourself waking up consistently at a particular hour or sensing the urge to pray during a specific time of day, pay attention to that. It’s likely that God is calling you to intercede during that watch.

2. Patterns in Your Life

Look for patterns in your own spiritual life. Do you feel an urge to pray at midnight or are you constantly up at 3 AM? Do you feel more connected to God during early morning hours? These moments could be an indication of the watch God wants you to keep.

3. Your Current Season

Your prayer watch could be tied to the season of life you’re in. For example, if you’re going through intense spiritual warfare, the third or fourth watches — often associated with deliverance and breakthrough — might be where you’re being led. On the other hand, if you’re in a season of praise or seeking clarity, you may be drawn to the first or sixth watches.

4. Spiritual Role

If you’re in a position of spiritual authority, such as being an intercessor, ministry leader, or someone standing in the gap for others, you may be called to several watches. Your prayer watch aligns with your spiritual authority and the mantle you carry.

How to Track Your Prayer Watch Hours

Once you’ve identified your prayer watch, it’s important to be intentional with your time and track your prayer hours. Here are some ways to stay on top of it:

1. Create a Schedule

Make it a habit. Just like anything else that’s important in your life, set aside a specific time for your prayer watch. Write it down in your planner, use your phone’s calendar, or put it on your prayer board. By creating a schedule, you’re committing that time to God.

2. Set Alarms or Notifications

Life can be busy, but you don’t want to miss your watch. Set an alarm or reminder to prompt you when it’s time to pray. This will help you stay consistent and focused.

3. Keep a Prayer Journal

Write down what God is speaking to you during your prayer watch. Keep track of the revelations, answered prayers, and personal reflections. Journaling will help you see your growth and God’s faithfulness over time.

4. Pray with Accountability

If you know others who are on the same prayer watch, pray together or check in with each other. There’s power in agreement, and having someone alongside you in your prayer watch can encourage you to stay diligent.

Consistency is Key

The real power of the prayer watch isn’t just in the timing, but in consistency. It’s about committing to those hours and keeping yourself accountable. Whether you’re praying for deliverance during the early morning hours or lifting up prayers of gratitude in the evening, staying consistent will strengthen your faith and your relationship with God.

Conclusion: Walking in Alignment with Your Prayer Watch

Your prayer watch hours are a divine appointment with God. They aren’t just a ritual but an opportunity to partner with Him and align yourself with His plans. As you seek God through these dedicated hours, you will see growth, breakthrough, and a deeper connection with Him. Whether you’re called to one specific watch or find yourself moving between them, remember that your time spent in prayer is a powerful tool in the Kingdom.

My prayer is that this guide helps you understand and maximize your prayer life as you grow spiritually.

Stay open to what God is leading you to, and let each watch be a moment of transformation and connection.

The Crucible

This is my first time seeing the word 'crucible.' I am curious to know its meaning and how it relates to a man's life. I did some research to understand it better.

The meaning of a crucible in a man's life.

A "crucible" in a man's life is a metaphor for a severe, intense, and often unplanned trial or crisis that tests his character, faith, and inner strength, ultimately refining and transforming him. Similar to the physical crucible used by alchemists to melt and purify metals, a "life crucible" strips away superficiality and ego to reveal what a person is truly made of.

Here is an explanation of the meaning of a crucible in a man’s life:

1. A Catalyst for Character Transformation.

    * Refinement Through Fire: Just as metal is purified by intense heat, a man is refined by the "heat" of challenges—such as professional failure, severe illness, betrayal, or profound loss.

    * Forcing Authenticity: The pressure of a crucible forces a man to abandon illusions and face his deepest fears and limitations, enabling him to emerge stronger, more resilient, and with a clearer sense of his identity and purpose.

     * The "Sandpaper Person": Crucibles often come in the form of difficult people ("sandpaper people") designed to rub against him, grinding down arrogance and building up patience and character.

2. A "Test" of Heart and Values.

     * The Test of Affliction: Biblical references describe this as a "furnace of affliction" (Isaiah 48:10), where God (or the situation) acts as a refiner of the heart.

     * The Test of Praise: A surprising crucible is praise. According to Proverbs 27:21, "the crucible is for silver, and the furnace for gold, but a man is tested by the praise accorded him." A man's character is often more accurately revealed by how he handles success, honor, and adoration than by how he handles failure—showing whether he is proud or humble.

3. A Turning Point for Leadership.

     * Transformative Experience: Research on leaders shows that they often trace their key development back to a specific "crucible moment" that demanded intense self-reflection, forced them to examine their values, and hone their judgment.

     * Adaptive Capacity: The most crucial skill learned in a crucible is "adaptive capacity"—the ability to transcend adversity and emerge with deeper wisdom and integrity.

4. Outcomes of a Crucible.

A man navigating a crucible generally moves through one of three pathways:

     * Surviving & Growing: Those who learn to embrace the heat, allowing it to burn away impurities (ego, fear, sin) so they emerge stronger and more purposeful.

    * Becoming Overwhelmed: Those who are defeated by the pain, becoming bitter or giving up.

Submitting to the Process: Learning to look for the lesson in the trial rather than merely blaming others or the situation.

Ultimately, the crucible of life is not a punishment but a preparation, transforming a man into a more valuable "vessel" of faith, character, and strength.

Wisdom from God

If you’ve ever gone on a trip somewhere you’ve never been before, you know how important a map is. Maps help us navigate unfamiliar terrain and the unknown areas ahead. Similarly, God’s Word helps us navigate the unknown seasons of life.

God’s Word reveals God’s wisdom, which is a trustworthy guide. And Proverbs is a book of wisdom found in God's Word—with knowledge that can help us live according to God’s will.

The book of Proverbs begins by acknowledging that everything begins with God. Because God is the creator of life, He knows how life works best and what direction our lives should go. Our role, according to Proverbs, is to seek Him and to trust Him. Trusting God means believing that He knows what's best for us, and proving it by surrendering our lives and decisions to Him.

The more we trust in God and submit our lives to Him, the more we'll live according to His will. Proverbs 3:6 says that when we submit to God’s wisdom in all our ways, He will direct and guide us. And thankfully, God has given us Scripture to show us what His will really looks like. 

That’s why it’s important to read God’s Word daily and get familiar with all that He says, so that in every area of life, we can trust Him to direct our paths.

Take some time today to pray about the direction your life is headed. If there are situations you’re unsure about, ask God to give you wisdom. Allow Him to direct your paths. And as you talk to Him, get in the habit of reading His Word every day, so that you can grow in His knowledge and wisdom.

I WANT TO SEE YOUR GLORY LORD!!!

In the Bible, God's glory—defined as the "weighty" manifestation of His presence, character, and power—falls or descends in several distinct ways, often serving to validate His presence, consecrate a place, or initiate judgment. It is often described as a tangible, visible, and overwhelming force. 

Source:Renner Ministries

Here is how God's glory falls in the Bible:

1. As a Visible Cloud or Fire:

The most common Old Testament manifestation is the "Shekinah" glory, appearing as a physical cloud or fire. 

* The Tabernacle: The glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle as a cloud after its completion (Exodus 40:34-35).

* The Temple: During the dedication of Solomon’s temple, the glory of the Lord appeared as fire from heaven that consumed the sacrifices, followed by a cloud that filled the temple (2 Chronicles 7:1-2).

* The Wilderness: A pillar of cloud by day and fire by night led the Israelites (Exodus 13:21).

* Mount Sinai: The glory rested on the mountain as a consuming fire, with a cloud covering it for six days (Exodus 24:16-17).

2. Through Physical Manifestation and Human Reaction:

When God's glory "falls" or is revealed, it often causes a dramatic physical reaction in people, commonly causing them to collapse or fall prostrate. 

* Prostration in Worship: When individuals encountered this weight, they often fell face-first into the dirt in reverence, such as Abraham (Genesis 17:3), Joshua (Joshua 5:14), and Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1:28).

* The Transfiguration: Peter, James, and John saw Jesus' glory, causing them to fall to the ground (Matthew 17:6).

* Paul’s Conversion: Paul fell to the ground when he saw the light of Christ's glory on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:4).

3. Through Supernatural Intervention:

The glory of God often "falls" to initiate a major shift or provide divine validation. 

* Creation: The heavens declare His glory, as it is displayed in the natural world (Psalm 19:1).

* Divine Deliverance: The glory falls to deliver, such as in the wilderness to provide manna (Exodus 16:7).

*:Judgment: The glory of God can descend to bring judgment, as seen when it moved away from the temple in Ezekiel 10 due to idolatry, or when it struck down Herod (Acts 12:23).

4. Through Jesus Christ (New Testament)

In the New Testament, the highest, most complete manifestation of God's glory is in Jesus Christ. 

* Incarnation: Jesus is described as the radiance of God's glory (Hebrews 1:3), with His glory seen through grace and truth (John 1:14).

* The Holy Spirit: The glory of God now dwells within believers through the Holy Spirit.

5. As a "Weight" or "Burden" (Experiential) 

The Hebrew word for glory, kabod, literally means "heaviness" or "weight". 

Source: bethelkingdomcitychurch.ca

* Experiential Presence: Many testimonies and biblical accounts suggest the glory can feel like a "spiritual tsunami" or tangible weight of His presence.

* Transformative Power: This, "weight" brings transformation, as believers are changed from one degree of glory to another (2 Corinthians 3:18). 

Source: KCM Blog

How the Glory is Invoked

According to scripture, the glory of God is brought down by specific actions: 

* Unity: When believers gather in unity, such as in the upper room (Acts 2:1-4).

* Worship: God inhabits the praises of His people (Psalm 22:3).

* Prayer: Specifically, by seeking to know God's character more deeply (Exodus 33:18-19).

,* Obedience/Holiness: The glory is tied to the purity of the people, and it often appears when they are in alignment with His will.
