Topic: God’s Medicine [Kenneth Copeland Devotional 27 June 2019]
The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. – John 6:63
We’ve seen some tremendous medical breakthroughs in our generation. We’ve seen “miracle drugs” developed that can conquer many kinds of sickness and disease.
But, you know, in the 45-plus years I’ve been a believer, I’ve discovered another, much more effective, kind of medicine: the Word of God. There’s never been a miracle drug that could equal it. God’s medicine is the answer to every need. It is life. It is health. It is the power of God. And if you put it in your heart and act on it, you will be healed.
Differences In Male And Female (Part 1) by Pastor Faith Oyedepo
Dear Reader,
You are welcome to this edition of the Family-life, where you will enjoy the presence of God. This month, I shall be exploring male and female differences. It is a very important subject which so many couples often neglect in their homes. It is my prayer that at the end of this teaching, your home shall become a loveable place in Jesus’ name!
I want you to know that everything about God is unique; He excels in variety. There are no two people who are exactly alike. I would like you to know that men are men and women are women and our various needs differ. An understanding of the uniqueness of the male gender will help the woman to appreciate why her husband acts the way he does, and this shall go a long way to preventing crisis in your family.

27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

Laying A Solid Foundation For Your Children (Part 4) by Pastor Faith Oyedepo
Topic: Laying A Solid Foundation For Your Children (Part 4)
Dear Reader,
I welcome you to the concluding segment of the series of this month’s teaching in Jesus’ name! So far, I have taught on laying a solid foundation for your children, love and control and God’s view concerning child-training. This week, I will be sharing with you, The place of the home in child-training.
Some parents lay up money, houses, clothes, cars and other possessions as an inheritance for their children. But the greatest inheritance you can leave behind for your children like I have been emphasizing for the past few weeks is a good Christian upbringing. The best environment to transfer and impart that on your children is the home.
No matter how good or expensive a school is or how glorious the church is, there is no better environment than the home. What these other places transmit to your children cannot be compared with what your home transmits to them. The school, church or society, are only meant to complement the home; they cannot take the place of the home.
Some parents even send their children to boarding schools, for the sole purpose of shying away from their responsibility and for more freedom, according to them. I pray that the freedom you think you are having today will not become a snare to you tomorrow in Jesus’ mighty name. No other place can take the place of the home. When it is time for school, let them go; when it is time for Church, let them go. But remember that they are coming back home to meet you. Don’t claim to be too busy for your children, especially in these fast-moving days. Whatever seeds you sow in their lives today will bear fruits tomorrow. (Genesis 8:22 says:) While the earth remaineth, seedtime, and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. It is important for you to note that children spend more time at home than any other place. Now, let us consider two main ways by which the home affects the children.
Topic: You Are at a Place of Prayer [Joyce Meyer Devotional 26 June 2019]
For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building. — 1 Corinthians 3:9
Under the Old Covenant, the temple was the house of God, the place of prayer for His people, the children of Israel. The temple had three compartments, one of which was the Holy of Holies, and it held the presence of God! Amazingly, now our renewed and sanctified spirit is the place where His presence dwells!
Topic: Take a Stand Against Strife [Kenneth Copeland Devotional 26 June 2019]
The beginning of strife is as when water first trickles [from a crack in a dam]; therefore stop contention before it becomes worse and quarreling breaks out. – Proverbs 17:14, The Amplified Bible
Throughout the Scriptures, God warns us about the danger of strife. Yet, it’s still one of the most common problems among believers. We let it get into our homes, our workplaces, our churches…everywhere!
Topic: Energy Under Control [Billy Graham Devotional 26 June 2019]
You are controlled by your new nature if you have the Spirit of God living in you . . . — Romans 8:9 (TLB)
A harnessed horse contributes much more to life than a wild donkey. Energy out of control is dangerous; energy under control is powerful. God does not discipline us to subdue us, but to condition us for a life of usefulness and blessedness.
Open Heaven 26 June 2019 Wednesday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – The Danger of Fruitlessness
Memorise: “Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.”- John 15:2
Read: Luke 13:6-9 (KJV)
6 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

The young Nigerian man who ordered Prof. Wole Soyinka out of his seat on a flight has broken his silence and opened up on why he took the action.
The young man’s name is Tosin Odunfa. His comment is on the Instagram page of Daddy Freeze and on Twitter. He said the matter was being blown out of proportion by Tonye Cole.

Yes, the one in question with a baseball cap and t-shirt, I am unashamed to be at the prime of my youth, in fact, I blushed a little bit after reading your description of my chest and muscles.

Topic: True Happiness [Billy Graham Devotional 25 June 2019]
And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward . . . — Luke 12:42
It is not wrong for men to possess riches. But the Bible warns that money cannot buy happiness! Money cannot buy true pleasure. Money cannot buy peace of heart. And money certainly cannot buy entrance into the Kingdom of God. Often money is a hindrance to these things. Money takes our minds off God. Riches, when used selfishly rather than for the glory of God, tend to corrupt in our hands. Money cannot be a substitute for God.

11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
