Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day to you and me is a gift, so let’s cherish it.

“Well, I don’t want to hurt my friend’s feelings, so it’s better if I just hope that he will stop behaving like that. I don’t want to cause a wound, because it might take time for it to heal,” he said. But guess what? “Faithful are the wounds of a friend;…(Proverbs 27:6). Why?

Proverbs 27:5 (ESV): “Better is open rebuke than hidden love.”

If we claim to love our friends and we are scared to rebuke them when they do not behave well, then that’s hidden love. Because hidden love hides things and it chooses what to do, but that’s not what the Bible tells us about love, Paul says, “Love bears all things; it endures all things.” (1 Corinthians 13:7). Love can withstand rebuke; do not let rebuke hide in the name of love.

Takeaway: What do you do when you are rebuking someone and he says, “Don’t judge”?

Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name, Ameni!

Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day to you and me is a gift, so let’s cherish it.

Proverbs 18:24 (NLT): “There are ‘friends’ who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.”

Yesterday, I said if you are not a builder in your friend’s life, it’s either you are a destroyer or you are folding your arms. And we can see from today’s scripture that friends can actually destroy each other, so you need not be ignorant of that. I know it’s hard to imagine friends tearing each other down, but it can happen, and some of you can attest to it.

Be cautious of those who stand by with their arms folded. It’s tempting to think that at least they are not causing destruction. However, consider this scenario: on one side, there are people actively building a house, while on the other side, someone is tearing it down. If there’s a person simply standing there with their arms crossed, they are not helping either side.

Builders stick closer, because they can’t build a building from afar. Takeaway: Pray for the builders in your life.

Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name, Ameni!

Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day to you and me is a gift, so let’s cherish it.

No matter how skilled you are at building, you will never build a house alone. Yes, it’s your life, and you can be the architect of it, but you will need builders. So what are we having today?

1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NLT): “So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.”

I thank God for the builders and encouragers in my life. They have encouraged me in difficult times and continue to do so, even in good times. Be that encourager and builder in someone’s life; it does make a difference, I tell you.

Okay, ask yourself this: Am I a builder in my friends’ lives? Because if you are not building, either you are destroying or folding your arms.

Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name, Ameni!

Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day to you and me is a gift, so let’s cherish it.

My sister said something today in the morning; she said, “Lord, help us to come with humility when we come to you in prayer.” And a thought came to my mind: “Is it possible to draw near the throne of grace with excessive confidence?” Because the writer of Hebrews does tell us to draw near with confidence (Hebrews 4:16).

So when I was done tutoring this morning, another thought came to mind: “How will my tutorial sessions be if I had an excessive confidence in what I know? Mind you, I do have to be bold about the stuff I am teaching, because if I am not confident, then how am I expecting the students to be confident about the stuff? But excessive confidence (prideful) may hinder me from being teachable or corrected. because as much as I am the tutor, I am bound to learn something from them.” And this is just one example of what excessive confidence can do to your daily life or any aspect of your life.

Oh no, I thought I was giving you an appetizer, and I ended up not leaving a space in your stomach for the meal. Okay, I guess it will be a takeaway!!

Proverbs 16:18 (ESV): “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”

Are you headed towards destruction or a fall? Check if pride and a haughty spirit are your passengers. And do some inventory today and see if, when there was destruction in your life at some point, there was pride along the way before the destruction.

Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name, Ameni!

Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day to you and me is a gift, so let’s cherish it.

I had some doubts about something yesterday. And a question came to mind: how many of us on a daily basis struggle with doubts, and is there a cure to this disease called doubt? So what are we eating today?

John 20:29 (ESV) : Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Allow me to give you a takeaway today: you are not sitting here and eating. Here is the takeaway: Are you waiting to see in order to believe? They have told you you will be the one to change the situation at home, and because of where you are currently, you are doubting; you are waiting for a job in order to believe it. And trust me, it can be anything that God told you about; this is just one example, but you are waiting to see. And the more you wait to see in order to believe, that’s when doubt is also finding its way to your mind..

Is it easier to believe without seeing? Nope, but “blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name, Ameni!

Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day to you and me is a gift, so let’s cherish it.

So what are we eating today? Yesterday I had the privilege to teach on Wisdom vs. Folly in an online connect called Immovables’ connect. Well, you might ask, what do I know about wisdom? I am just a 24-year-old. I know we have this thing of associating wisdom with age because of experiences. And I will be honest, experiences do teach us. But there’s something better than experiences, and what’s that? The BREAD. Oh, okay, what do you mean? (someone might ask.)

1 Corinthians 1:30 (ESV): “And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, WHO BECAME TO US WISDOM from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption.”

He, being the bread (remember John 6:35 from yesterday’s blog), became wisdom to us. So the reason I am permitted to teach about wisdom is because I have the bread (Christ Jesus). So get yourself the bread, just in case you haven’t received it. And remember the Gentile woman from yesterday’s blog; you don’t need any qualifications to get the bread; just come with your hunger and don’t forget to bring faith along.

Okay, so I don’t want this to be a full meal, so here, take this away with you as a takeaway: What would your life look like if you had the bread? And if you do have the bread, do you see the results of having it?

Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name, Ameni!

Welcome to Daily Bread, where we will be eating the Bible verse by verse. Whether you get this bread in the morning, afternoon, or evening, it doesn’t matter; just make sure the day doesn’t go by without you getting this bread.

Today I would like us to eat from Matthew 15:26 (NKJV): “But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to little dogs.”

The reason why I choose this verse for introducing our blog is that one thing that we take for granted is that the bread is now for everyone (John 6:35 (NKJV), “And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. HE WHO (whoever) COMES to me shall never hunger…) During the days of the Gentile woman, it was not permitted to throw it, not even give it, but throw it to the little dogs. So I want us to take some time today, 5 to 10 minutes, and just thank God for availing the bread to whoever is hungry. Because even when you were hungry during those days, meaning you needed the bread that Jesus was giving, you couldn’t get it. Hunger was not a guarantee that you would get the bread, but today the bread is available, and we choose to live in hunger.

I would like to thank God for this gentile woman whose name we don’t even know, but she was one of those people who showed us that it doesn’t matter if you are a little dog; you don’t need status to get the bread; you just need faith. So I called her the breadwinner, and permit me to add an informal definition to this word, “breadwinner,” because of this woman.

Breadwinner: a person who got the bread from Jesus through her faith, regardless of not deserving to get the bread.

Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name, Ameni!
