WORD DIARY: SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 6, 2026

 

#God have mercy!..

Jer. 15:1-2 Then the Lord said to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel were to stand before me, my heart would not go out to this people. Send them away from my presence! Let them go! And if they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ tell them, ‘This is what the Lord says: “‘Those destined for death, to death; those for the sword, to the sword; those for starvation, to starvation; those for captivity, to captivity.’

#God have mercy!

Jer. 15:3-4 “I will send four kinds of destroyers against them,” declares the Lord, “the sword to kill and the dogs to drag away and the birds and the wild animals to devour and destroy. I will make them abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem.

#God have mercy!

Jer. 15:5-6 “Who will have pity on you, Jerusalem? Who will mourn for you? Who will stop to ask how you are? You have rejected me,” declares the Lord. “You keep on backsliding. So I will reach out and destroy you; I am tired of holding back.

#God have mercy!

Jer. 15:7-8  I will winnow them with a winnowing fork at the city gates of the land. I will bring bereavement and destruction on my people, for they have not changed their ways. I will make their widows more numerous than the sand of the sea. At midday I will bring a destroyer against the mothers of their young men; suddenly I will bring down on them     anguish and terror.

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

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Have you offended God?

2. Have you asked God for mercy?

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.

ACTIVATING DIVINE PROTECTION! – PART 1 – INTRODUCTION!..

 

 “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” — Psalm 91:1

Psalm 127:1 cautions against self-help, - "Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain; unless the LORD protects the city, its watchmen stand guard in vain." In a world where uncertainty, danger, fear, insecurity, and unexpected challenges abound, the temptation to rely on ourselves can be overwhelming. But God has not left us without a covering. Scripture reveals that divine protection is not merely a promise to admire but a spiritual reality that believers can walk in through faith, obedience, prayer, and intimacy with God. It is our responsibility to draw on this reality as we progress in our earthly pilgrimage.

Our anchor scripture for this month, Psalm 91, is one of the most powerful passages in the Bible concerning God's protection. The Psalm begins with a condition and a promise: “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91:1). The emphasis is on “dwelling”. God's protection is closely connected to our relationship with Him. The secret place speaks of intimacy, fellowship, prayer, trust, and dependence upon God. Those who make God their habitation discover that His presence becomes their refuge and fortress. Psalm 91 declares that God is able to deliver His people from hidden dangers, terror by night, arrows by day, pestilence, destruction, and threats that cannot always be seen with the natural eye. The picture of a loving God who watches over His children is painted beautifully in verse 4: “He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust.”

Throughout Scripture, divine protection is consistently revealed as part of God's covenant relationship with His people. According to Psalm 121:7–8, “The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in.” Isaiah 54:17 assures us, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper.”, while 2 Thessalonians 3:3 reminds believers that “the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.” God protected Noah and his family in the midst of judgment, preserved the Israelites through the Red Sea, delivered Daniel from the lions, protected the three Hebrew children in the fiery furnace, and rescued Peter from prison. These accounts remind us that God remains a protector in every generation.

The four-part series for the month of September “Activating Divine Protection”, invites us to trust God, remain under His authority, obey His Word, pray consistently, exercise wisdom, and stand firmly on His promises. God's protection does not always mean the absence of storms; sometimes it means His presence and preservation in the middle of the storm.

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

WORD DIARY: SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 5, 2026

 

#No more rejection!..

Jer. 14:17-18 “Speak this word to them: “‘Let my eyes overflow with tears night and day without ceasing; for the Virgin Daughter, my people, has suffered a grievous wound, a crushing blow. If I go into the country, I see those slain by the sword; if I go into the city,     I see the ravages of famine. Both prophet and priest have gone to a land they know not.’”

#No more tears!

Jer. 14:19 Have you rejected Judah completely? Do you despise Zion? Why have you afflicted us so that we cannot be healed? We hoped for peace but no good has come, for a time of healing but there is only terror.

#No more rejection!

Jer. 14:20 We acknowledge our wickedness, Lord, and the guilt of our ancestors; we have indeed sinned against you.

#No more wickedness!

Jer. 14:21-22 For the sake of your name do not despise us; do not dishonor your glorious throne. Remember your covenant with us and do not break it. Do any of the worthless idols of the nations bring rain? Do the skies themselves send down showers? No, it is you, Lord our God. Therefore our hope is in you, for you are the one who does all this.

Let us pray: Father God, remember your covenant with us and have mercy in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Would you rather be accepted?

2. Would you rather be rejected?

WORD DIARY: FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 4, 2026

 

#Be truthful!..

Jer. 14:10 This is what the Lord says about this people: “They greatly love to wander;     they do not restrain their feet. So the Lord does not accept them; he will now remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins.”

#Be committed!

Jer. 14:11-12 Then the Lord said to me, “Do not pray for the well-being of this people.  Although they fast, I will not listen to their cry; though they offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Instead, I will destroy them with the sword, famine and plague.”

#Be acceptable!

Jer. 14:13-14 But I said, “Alas, Sovereign Lord! The prophets keep telling them, ‘You will not see the sword or suffer famine. Indeed, I will give you lasting peace in this place.’”  Then the Lord said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds.

#Be truthful!

Jer. 14:15-16 Therefore this is what the Lord says about the prophets who are prophesying in my name: I did not send them, yet they are saying, ‘No sword or famine will touch this land.’ Those same prophets will perish by sword and famine. And the people they are prophesying to will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and sword. There will be no one to bury them, their wives, their sons and their daughters. I will pour out on them the calamity they deserve.

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

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Would you rather speak the truth?

2. Would you rather speak lies?

WORD DIARY: THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 3, 2026

 

#Desire the mercy!..

Jer. 14:4-5 The ground is cracked because there is no rain in the land; the farmers are dismayed and cover their heads. Even the doe in the field deserts her newborn fawn     because there is no grass.

#Desire the rain!

Jer. 14:6 Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights and pant like jackals; their eyes fail     for lack of food.”

#Desire the food!

Jer. 14:7-8 Although our sins testify against us, do something, Lord, for the sake of your name. For we have often rebelled; we have sinned against you. You who are the hope of Israel, its Savior in times of distress, why are you like a stranger in the land, like a traveler who stays only a night?

#Desire the mercy!

Jer. 14:9 Why are you like a man taken by surprise, like a warrior powerless to save? You are among us, Lord, and we bear your name; do not forsake us!

Let us pray: Father God, arise and save us in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Would you rather desire the mercy of God?

2. Would you rather desire the provision from God?

WORD DIARY: WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 2, 2026

 

#Beware of scarcity!..

Jer. 13:24-25 “I will scatter you like chaff driven by the desert wind. This is your lot, the portion I have decreed for you,” declares the Lord, “because you have forgotten me and trusted in false gods.

#Trust in God!

Jer. 13:26-27 I will pull up your skirts over your face that your shame may be seen— your adulteries and lustful neighings, your shameless prostitution! I have seen your detestable acts on the hills and in the fields. Woe to you, Jerusalem! How long will you be unclean?”

#Beware of shame!

Jer. 14:1-2 This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought    : “Judah mourns, her cities languish; they wail for the land, and a cry goes up from Jerusalem.

#Beware of scarcity!

Jer. 14:3 The nobles send their servants for water; they go to the cisterns but find no water. They return with their jars unfilled; dismayed and despairing, they cover their heads.

Let us pray: Father God, fill us with your living water in the name of Jesus

#Life questions and meditation:

1. Would you rather live in abundance?

2. Would you rather live in scarcity?

WORD DIARY: TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 1, 2026

 

#Mind the pain!..

Jer. 13:20 Look up and see those who are coming from the north. Where is the flock that was entrusted to you, the sheep of which you boasted?

#Mind the flock!

Jer. 13:21 What will you say when the Lord sets over you those you cultivated as your special allies? Will not pain grip you like that of a woman in labor?

#Mind the pain!

Jer. 13:22 And if you ask yourself, “Why has this happened to me?”— it is because of your many sins that your skirts have been torn off and your body mistreated.

#Mind the reason!

Jer. 13:23 Can an Ethiopian change his skin or a leopard its spots? Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil.

Let us pray: Father God, we receive the grace to do good in the name of Jesus
