Topic: Get Up and Get Going
For we all stumble and sin in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says [never saying the wrong thing], he is a perfect man [fully developed in character, without serious flaws], able to bridle his whole body and rein in his entire nature…. — James 3:2 (AMP)
Even before we are totally awake, Satan is bidding to deceive us and is ready to plant defeating thoughts in our mind. He wants us to be hopeless, faithless, and negative.
He definitely doesn’t want us to be positive when we get up. He wants us to have a bad attitude and be selfish and self-centered, full of hatred, bitterness, resentment, doubt, unbelief, and fear—to be mad at everybody.
But thank God, through Jesus Christ, we have been redeemed from all of those negative patterns. We can resist Satan and trust God’s power in order to live victoriously today.
Prayer Starter: Father, this is the day You have made! Help me to approach it with a positive attitude, full of faith and hope, knowing You have great things in store. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Topic: Bridle Your Tongue
Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us. — Ephesians 3:20 (AMP)
According to this scripture, the one thing proving our level of spiritual maturity isn’t how religious we are—whether we can quote Scripture, or the good works we do—it is the words from our mouths.
James 1:26 says, If anyone thinks himself to be religious (piously observant of the external duties of his faith) and does not bridle his tongue but deludes his own heart, this person’s religious service is worthless (futile, barren) (AMP).
No matter how religious you think you are, the true test proving your spirituality is whether you bridle your tongue or not. Bridle means “to restrain or control.” If we aren’t controlling our tongues, we are not operating in the level of maturity God wants us to have.
Prayer Starter: Holy Spirit, please help me with my words today. I can’t do it on my own, but with Your help, I can speak words of life and encouragement to those around me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Topic – God’s Word: A Key to Divine Health
Scripture: They had come to hear him and to be healed, and Jesus cast out many evil spirits. Luke 6:18 (NLT)
Thought For The Day: To be worded is to be loaded with power to resist diseases and afflictions.
The Scripture makes it clear that it is the Will of God for His children to live in Divine Health (3 John 1:2). This is why He is committed to the healing and deliverance of every sickness and affliction in our bodies.
Now, one important key of living in Divine Health is the continual ingestion of the Word of God. Our anchor Scripture reveals that there is a connection between God’s Word and healing.
The question is, how does the Word of God make us live in the state of Divine Health? I give you two points:
i. The Word of God is a direct spiritual medication
God’s Word has a direct curative or therapeutic power; the Word of God has the power to heal any sickness when taken just as a person is healed when he takes medication. So, to be in touch with a new light from Scriptures is to be in touch with a new quantum of Divine health; and one word can dissolve any form of sickness in your body.
ii. The Word of God is spiritual nutrition
Just as physical nutrition is an attack on sickness, the feeding of God’s Word, which is spiritual nutrition, is an attack on sickness and diseases. Children are prone to sicknesses when they do not feed very well; and when nutrition is low, immunity is low and infection is high. In the same way, when your Word intake is low, your spiritual immunity is low and your capacity to fight affliction is also low. To be worded is to be loaded with power to resist diseases and afflictions.
My counsel is, make up your mind to be on a steady diet of God’s Word regularly. Be determined to be worded in order to live beyond the reach of afflictions.
Remember This: To be worded is to be loaded with power to resist diseases and afflictions.
Assignments:
1. Attack every sickness in your body by the instrumentality of God’s Word.
2. Make up your mind to live in Divine Health daily by increasing your intake of the Word.

Prayer: Father, I ask for a healthy appetite for Your Word. Give me the grace to study Your Word daily in order to live in Divine Health continuously, LORD, in Jesus’ Name.

Topic: Catching Foxes
Read: Song of Solomon 2:14–17, Bible in a Year: Jeremiah 27–29; Titus 3
Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards. Song of Solomon 2:15
While talking on the phone with a friend who lives by the seaside, I expressed delight at hearing seagulls squawking. “Vile creatures,” she responded, for to her they’re a daily menace. As a Londoner, I feel the same way about foxes. I find them not cute animals but roaming creatures that leave smelly messes in their wake.
Foxes appear in the love poetry of the Song of Solomon, an Old Testament book that reveals the love between a husband and wife and, some commentators believe, between God and His people. The bride warns about little foxes, asking her bridegroom to catch them (2:15). For foxes, hungry for the vineyard’s grapes, could tear the tender plants apart. As the bride looks forward to their married life together, she doesn’t want vermin disturbing their covenant of love.
How can “foxes” disturb our relationship with God? For me, when I say “yes” to too many requests, I can become overwhelmed and unpleasant. Or when I witness relational conflict, I can be tempted to despair or anger. As I ask the Lord to limit the effect of these “foxes”—those I’ve let in through an open gate or those that have snuck in—I gain in trust of and love for God as I sense His loving presence and direction.
How about you? How can you seek God’s help from anything keeping you from Him?
Prayer: Lord God, You are powerful and You are good. Please protect my relationship with You, keeping out anything that would take my eyes off You.
God can guard our relationship with Him.
INSIGHT
Although the author is not specifically named, Song of Songs is traditionally attributed to Solomon, who is mentioned in 1:1, 5; 3:7, 9, 11; 8:11, 12 and who is referred to as “King Solomon” in 3:9–11. Therefore, this book is also called “The Song of Solomon.” Solomon composed 1,005 songs (1 Kings 4:32), but this song is deemed to be “the best”—hence the appropriate title “Solomon’s Song of Songs” (1:1). It is one of two biblical books (the other is Esther) where God isn’t mentioned explicitly. Some interpret Song of Songs as an allegory of Christ’s love for the church; others consider it to be a poem describing the romance and relationship of two passionate lovers. Rich in nature metaphors—“Your eyes are doves” (1:15); “My beloved is like a gazelle” (2:9); “The little foxes that ruin the vineyards” (v. 15)—the song celebrates sexual love and physical intimacy within the bonds of marriage (4:8–5:1). Together husband and wife wield out “the foxes” (2:15), removing anything that threatens their loving union or hurts the exclusivity of their marriage.

Topic: Accessing God’s Presence
Scripture: Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. Psalms 100:4
Thought For The Day: It is critical to give thanks to God if you must access His Presence.
The Presence of God is the greatest asset of man on earth. If a person desires to get to the top in life and stay on top, he/she must cultivate and maintain the Presence of God in his/her life.
Now, one way or avenue of accessing God’s presence is thanksgiving. Thanksgiving gives access to God’s Presence (Psalm 100:4). People who accessed God’s Presence in the Scripture and in contemporary times praised their way into His Presence.
However, when a person comes before God with complains instead of praises, such a person will not gain access to the gates of God, let alone the courts of His Presence. It is like standing outside the gate of a man’s house trying to talk to the man who is in his bedroom.
So, it is critical to give thanks to God if you must access His Presence, and when you gain access to God’s Presence, many things happen (Psalm 100:5).
Let me give you three examples of the things that happen when you gain access to the Presence of God:
1. We encounter the manifestation of the goodness of God
It is not possible to know how to praise and not experience the goodness of God (Psalm 100:4-5).
2. We encounter the manifestation of God’s mercy
The mercy of God is located in the Presence of God; and God’s mercy preserves us from destruction (Psalm 100:4-5).
3. We encounter the manifestation of the truth of God
The truth of God is the Word of God (John 17:17, Psalm 100:4-5).
As you give God praise, you will encounter the truth that will guarantee your liberty in life, in Jesus’ Name.
Beloved, my counsel is, make up your mind to praise God always.
Remember this: It is critical to give thanks to God if you must access His Presence.
Assignments:
1. Avoid the lifestyle of complaining and murmuring.
2. Live a life of deep praise and worship.
