WORD DIARY: THURSDAY OCTOBER 22, 2026

 

#Embrace the truth!..

Jer. 29: 26-27 ‘The Lord has appointed you priest in place of Jehoiada to be in charge of the house of the Lord; you should put any maniac who acts like a prophet into the stocks and neck-irons. So why have you not reprimanded Jeremiah from Anathoth, who poses as a prophet among you?

#Beware of falsehood!

Jer. 29: 28 He has sent this message to us in Babylon: It will be a long time. Therefore build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce.’”

#Embrace the truth!

Jer. 29: 29-30 Zephaniah the priest, however, read the letter to Jeremiah the prophet. Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah:

#Uphold the truth!

Jer. 29: 31-32 “Send this message to all the exiles: ‘This is what the Lord says about Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, even though I did not send him, and has persuaded you to trust in lies, this is what the Lord says: I will surely punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants. He will have no one left among this people, nor will he see the good things I will do for my people, declares the Lord, because he has preached rebellion against me.’”

Let us pray: Father God, we receive the grace for discernment in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Are you aware of falsehood?

2. Would you rather embrace the truth?

WORD DIARY: WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 21, 2026

 

#Beware of lies!..

Jer. 29: 18-19 I will pursue them with the sword, famine and plague and will make them abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth, a curse and an object of horror, of scorn and reproach, among all the nations where I drive them. For they have not listened to my words,” declares the Lord, “words that I sent to them again and again by my servants the prophets. And you exiles have not listened either,” declares the Lord.

#Listen to God!

Jer. 29: 20-21 Therefore, hear the word of the Lord, all you exiles whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon. This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says about Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying lies to you in my name: “I will deliver them into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will put them to death before your very eyes.

#Judgment of God!

Jer. 29: 22-23 Because of them, all the exiles from Judah who are in Babylon will use this curse: ‘May the Lord treat you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon burned in the fire.’ For they have done outrageous things in Israel; they have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and in my name they have uttered lies—which I did not authorize. I know it and am a witness to it,” declares the Lord.

#Beware of lies!

Jer. 29: 24-25 Tell Shemaiah the Nehelamite, “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You sent letters in your own name to all the people in Jerusalem, to the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah, and to all the other priests. You said to Zephaniah,

Let us pray: Father God, may we according to your instructions in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Do you listen to instructions from God?

2. Do you obey instructions from God?

WORD DIARY: TUESDAY OCTOBER 20, 2026

 

#Freedom from captivity!..

Jer. 29: 10-11 This is what the Lord says: “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

#Plans for good!

Jer. 29: 12-13 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

#Call on God!

Jer. 29: 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”

#Freedom from captivity!

Jer. 29: 15-17 You may say, “The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon,” but this is what the Lord says about the king who sits on David’s throne and all the people who remain in this city, your fellow citizens who did not go with you into exile— yes, this is what the Lord Almighty says: “I will send the sword, famine and plague against them and I will make them like figs that are so bad they cannot be eaten.

Let us pray: Father God, let your mercy prevail against judgment in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Are you in any form of captivity?

2. Have you called on God for freedom?

WORD DIARY: MONDAY OCTOBER 19, 2026

 

#Mandate to increase!..

Jer. 29: 1-2 This is the text of the letter that the prophet Jeremiah sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders among the exiles and to the priests, the prophets and all the other people Nebuchadnezzar had carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. (This was after King Jehoiachin and the queen mother, the court officials and the leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the skilled workers and the artisans had gone into exile from Jerusalem.)

#Letter to exiles!

Jer. 29: 3 He entrusted the letter to Elasah son of Shaphan and to Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to King Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon. It said:

#Trusted to deliver!

Jer. 29: 4-6 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: “Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease.

#Mandate to increase!

Jer. 29: 7-9 Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” Yes, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “Do not let the prophets and diviners among you deceive you. Do not listen to the dreams you encourage them to have. They are prophesying lies to you in my name. I have not sent them,” declares the Lord.

Let us pray: Father God prosper and bring peace to our nation in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. What is the assignment that God has given you?

2. Can you be trusted to deliver on the assignment?

WORD DIARY: SUNDAY OCTOBER 18, 2026

 

#Response to falsehood!..

Jer. 28: 10-11 Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah and broke it, and he said before all the people, “This is what the Lord says: ‘In the same way I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon off the neck of all the nations within two years.’” At this, the prophet Jeremiah went on his way.

#Demonstration of falsehood!

Jer. 28: 12-13 After the prophet Hananiah had broken the yoke off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: “Go and tell Hananiah, ‘This is what the Lord says: You have broken a wooden yoke, but in its place you will get a yoke of iron.

#Response to falsehood!

Jer. 28: 14 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I will put an iron yoke on the necks of all these nations to make them serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I will even give him control over the wild animals.’”

#Effects of falsehood!

Jer. 28: 15-17 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, “Listen, Hananiah! The Lord has not sent you, yet you have persuaded this nation to trust in lies. Therefore this is what the Lord says: ‘I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. This very year you are going to die, because you have preached rebellion against the Lord.’” In the seventh month of that same year, Hananiah the prophet died.

Let us pray: Father God, delivers us from every falsehood in the name of Jesus.

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Can you discern falsehood?

2. Can you discern the effects of falsehood?

Postscript

Ecclesiastes 7:29 This only have I found: God made mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes.

God, more than earthly manufacturers, created a perfect mankind; and like every manufacturer, He gave the Bible as the manual. As we brush our teeth and eat every day, so much do we need to look into that manual for daily living and thereby prevent a malfunction inherent in seeking our many devices.

These verses and the accompanying nuggets are meant to start you out every day. But you need a personal relationship with God and the Lord Jesus Christ. It will help to contact a Bible believing church near you.

MANIFESTING DIVINE SPEED! - PART 3 – REPAIR THE ALTAR!.. (DILIGENCE PROVOKES DIVINE SPEED)

 

“And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.” — 1 Kings 18:46 (KJV)

There are incommunicable attributes of God that emphasize the absolute distinction between God and His creation. His omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence are some of these attributes. With these attributes, God oftentimes intervenes in the course of our lives to help us and also to fulfil His purpose in our lives.  It does not matter at what season we are in. Sometimes life seems to move at a pace that does not reflect the prayers we have prayed, the sacrifices we have made, or the preparation we have undergone. We have prayed. We have waited. We have worked. We have remained faithful. Yet, somehow, the results seem delayed.

What we need is the hand of God. There is a dimension of God's power that can change the speed of our journey. When God steps into a process, He does in a moment what human strength could not accomplish in years; obstacles give way, doors open, opportunities align, and long-awaited results begin to manifest with unusual speed. This is what we describe as Divine Speed. Divine speed is not merely running fast physically. It is the supernatural enablement of God that causes a person to accomplish, recover, advance, arrive, or experience in a short period what ordinarily might require a much longer time. It is God accelerating a process without compromising His purpose.

Our anchor passage in 1 Kings 18:46 presents one of the most remarkable pictures of supernatural acceleration in Scripture:

“And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah…”

It is obvious that Elijah's speed was connected to the hand of God. The Bible does not simply say that Elijah became stronger through human effort, but that the hand of the Lord came upon him. The supernatural hand of God enabled him to outrun a king who was travelling by chariot. This is significant because Elijah had just experienced an extraordinary spiritual victory on Mount Carmel. Fire had fallen from heaven, the prophets of Baal had been confronted, and the people had acknowledged the Lord as God (1 Kings 18:20–39). Elijah then prayed for rain after a prolonged drought, and God answered (1 Kings 18:41–45). Immediately after this, something unusual happened: the same God who had answered Elijah's prayer for rain also empowered Elijah to move with extraordinary speed.

God is still able and willing to fulfil His purpose in our lives. We can still lean on His promise: "A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time."(Isaiah 60:22). Our four-part series for the month of October “Manifesting Divine Speed”, focuses on a loving God that is with us on every part of our journey. He is interested in our affairs and can be trusted as we discover and fulfil destiny.

Join us this and every Sunday, onsite or online, as we explore the theme.

WORD DIARY: SATURDAY OCTOBER 17, 2026

 

#Wisdom to respond!..

Jer. 28: 1-2 In the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year, early in the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, the prophet Hananiah son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, said to me in the house of the Lord in the presence of the priests and all the people:  “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.

#In the open!

Jer. 28: 3-4 Within two years I will bring back to this place all the articles of the Lord’s house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed from here and took to Babylon. I will also bring back to this place Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim king of Judah and all the other exiles from Judah who went to Babylon,’ declares the Lord, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’”

#Beware of false prophesy!

Jer. 28: 5-6 Then the prophet Jeremiah replied to the prophet Hananiah before the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the Lord.  He said, “Amen! May the Lord do so! May the Lord fulfill the words you have prophesied by bringing the articles of the Lord’s house and all the exiles back to this place from Babylon.

#Wisdom to respond!

Jer. 28: 7-9 Nevertheless, listen to what I have to say in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people: From early times the prophets who preceded you and me have prophesied war, disaster and plague against many countries and great kingdoms. But the prophet who prophesies peace will be recognized as one truly sent by the Lord only if his prediction comes true.”

Let us pray: Father God, confirm the counsel of your faithful servants in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Would you rather respond with wisdom to false prophesy?

2. Would you rather respond with confrontation to false prophesy?
