SUNDAY, 5 JANUARY
TEXT: GENESIS 3:1-7
TOPIC: THE FALL FROM GRACE TO DUST

Satan used deceit to make the first man Adam and his wife Eve fall from grace to dust. Incidentally, he has not changed his trick because it is still very effective in the present generation as it was when he first used it in the Garden of Eden.

Satan deceitfully appealed to the pride of Adam and Eve (they would be like God), the lust of the flesh (the fruit of the tree was good for food), and the lust of the eye (the fruit was pleasing to the eye).

The first Adam failed woefully and became a victim of Satan, but praise God that Christ Jesus, the second Adam, was victorious in all three tests. Satan tempted Christ Jesus to turn stone to bread (lust of the flesh), to throw Himself down from the temple top (pride of life), and to bow down and worship him for the kingdom and splendor of the world (lust of the eye) (Matthew 4:1-11).

Let us all heed the warning in 1 John 2:15.

QUESTION:
Do you realize that till date, Satan still uses the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life to deceive believers in Christ and unbelievers alike into sinning?

PRAYER:
Oh God, I pray that You grant me the grace to live in the victory that You won for me over the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life so that I would never be a victim of Satan's temptations, in Jesus' name. Amen.

SATURDAY, 4 JANUARY
TEXT: GENESIS 2:18-25
TOPIC: THE MOST SUITABLE COMPANION

Someone was overheard exclaiming, "Women, you never can understand them!" Then, a woman answered him, "How can you ever understand someone that was created when you were deeply asleep?"

Whether men understand women or not, of all creatures created by God, women still remain the most suitable companions for men and the best for relationship and fellowship.

In this sin-ridden world, humans are increasingly resorting to animals like cats, dogs, and all kinds of pets for companionship, especially in the so-termed advanced western world

Companionship with animals must have it's limits. Close or intimate companionship with animals is an aberration to God's original design and should never take the place of companionship with fellow humans, especially our wives and husbands if we are married.

QUESTION:
Have you been blessed with the companion of a wife or husband, or do you desire one?

PRAYER:
Oh God, I pray that you bless and help me maintain close companionship with my spouse, in Jesus' name. Amen.

MONDAY, 30 DECEMBER
TEXT: PSALM 34:1-10
TOPIC: EXALT THE LORD FOR ALL HE HAS DONE

The Lord's interventions in our lives are so innumerable that we need to exalt His name.

The Psalmist outlined some of the things God had done for him to include answered prayers, getting him out of trouble and providing his needs, among many others.

We must understand that our God has done even more than these for us. We must learn to talk about His goodness amongst the nations as we exalt Him all the days of our lives.

QUESTION:
Do you see God's goodness in your life as you reflect on your journey so far?

PRAYER:
Sorry, dear Lord, for my inability to appreciate Your work upon my life. Please help me to appreciate You as long as I live, in Jesus name. Amen.

SUNDAY, 29 DECEMBER
TEXT: PSALM 33:1-11
TOPIC: CREATED TO PRAISE GOD

The call to sing songs of praises to the Lord is an appeal to continue building our lives around what we shall be doing in eternity.

The Psalms are filled with songs, poems and beautiful renditions from the hearts of the writer about God's wonderful deeds.

God's nature, as revealed in His justice, righteousness and unfailing love, is enough to draw our hearts to sing praises to Him.

We are also encouraged to consider the creative works of God and His interventions in the affairs of the nations of the world. All of these call for singing praises to God.

I challenge you to remember today and always to praise the Lord for all He has done for you.

QUESTION:
Are you always willing to sing praises to God as an individual or only when you are in the congregation of the saints?

PRAYER:
Help me, dear Father, to continue praising You as long as I live because I was created to praise You, in Jesus name. Amen.

TEXT: LUKE 2:21-38
TOPIC: CELEBRATE THE SAVIOUR

Today's passage is about two great individuals who should serve as an example of how to celebrate Christmas.

When Jesus' earthly parents took Him to the Temple to fulfil the Law, Simeon the righteous man saw Jesus and celebrated Him as the saviour of mankind. He felt that, at last, he could peacefully depart this earth for his eyes had finally seen the salvation of God.

The Prophetess Anna also spoke well about the child and gave thanks to God because the child would bring redemption to the world.

We must remember the greatness of the miracle that happened in the birth of this child and always return thanks to God for His work of salvation.

QUESTION:
What do you think about the celebration of Christmas?

PRAYER:
Father, please help me to understand the importance of this great event and help me to always celebrate You as long as I live, in Jesus name. Amen.

TEXT: LUKE 2:1-20
TOPIC: THE SAVIOUR IS BORN

Christmas is celebrated all over the world. This is because it marks the birth that is so different from every other that had ever taken place or would ever happen again in human history.

God chose to become man on a day like this so that humanity will be delivered from sin and translated into His kingdom.

This event is so important because the salvation of mankind started with the birth of this Messiah. And even though He chose to come through a humble family, shepherds, angels celebrated His birth.

We must also understand that this day is foundational to many events that have happened in wisemen and human history.

QUESTION:
How do you intend to celebrate this Christmas?

PRAYER:
As I celebrate Your birth today, help me to tell others about its significance so that they can also enjoy the gift You brought to mankind, in Jesus name. Amen.

TUESDAY, 24 DECEMBER
TEXT: LUKE 1:67-80
TOPIC: THE LORD WILL FULFIL HIS PLANS IN YOUR LIFE

Because Zachariah believed the Lord's promise that He was going to give him a child, he sang a prophetic song to the Lord and for his son.

He recognized the Lord's plans to redeem mankind and fulfil the covenant he made with their father, Abraham.

He saw the future ministry of John and spoke into his life in keeping with God's words concerning him.

We should learn not only to trust the Lord but to speak positively in keeping with His plans for our lives and our children's. That will set the stage for the ministry that God has called us to do.

QUESTION:
What do you make of the promises and the blessings of God in your life?

PRAYER:
Help me, dear Father, to celebrate You in worship as You fulfil of Your promises in my life and make me pass a godly legacy to future generations, in Jesus name. Amen.

*MONDAY, 23 DECEMBER*
*TEXT: LUKE 1:57-66*
*TOPIC: GOD'S FAITHFULNESS*

*LUKE 1:57-66 NIV*

57:When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son.

58:Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy.

59:On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah,

60:but his mother spoke up and said, “No! He is to be called John.”

61:They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who has that name.”

62:Then they made signs to his father, to find out what he would like to name the child.

63:He asked for a writing tablet, and to everyone’s astonishment he wrote, “His name is John.”

64:Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue set free, and he began to speak, praising God.

65:All the neighbors were filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judea people were talking about all these things.

66:Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, “What then is this child going to be?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.

*GOD'S FAITHFULNESS*

John's birth brought glory to God from the lips of the people who witnessed it and even those who heard about it.

The miraculous intervention of God by loosening Zachariah's tongue dazed the people who began to wonder what kind of person the child was going to become.

The people saw the hands of the Lord upon John in line with the prophecy made to his father about his ministry of restoring people back to God (Luke 1:16-17). Because God is always faithful in keeping His promises, we need to trust Him as long as we live.

*QUESTION:* What made Zachariah lose his power of speech and how are you different from him in your dealings with God?

*PRAYER:* Help me, dear Lord, to know that You will always do the things You say You will do, in Jesus name. Amen.

*SUNDAY, 22 DECEMBER*
*TEXT: LUKE 1:46-56*
*TOPIC: THE SONG OF MARY*

*LUKE 1:46-56 NIV*

46:And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord

47:and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

48:for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed,

49:for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name.

50:His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation.

51:He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.

52:He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble.

53:He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.

54:He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful

55:to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors.”

56:Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.

*THE SONG OF MARY*

Mary's encounter with Elizabeth left a great mark in her heart about God's greatness. It made her appreciate God for considering her fit for the monumental task of carrying the saviour of the world in her womb.

Mary glorified the Lord in what is considered her song in today's passage. She praised the Lord for uplifting her to a new status; she spoke of the mercies of the Lord which extends from generation to generation; and mentions the fact that this same God provides for those who are hungry and humiliates the proud and haughty.

We should endeavour to understand God's work in our lives so that we can appreciate Him every day.

*QUESTION:* What do you make of God's dealings with you?

*PRAYER:* Even when things are happening to me and do not go according to my plans, help me to see You at work in my life so that I can praise You, O Lord, in Jesus name. Amen.

*TEXT: LUKE 1:39-45*
*TOPIC: MARY VISITS ELIZABETH*

*LUKE 1:39-45 - NIV*
39. At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea,

40. where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth.

41. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

42. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear!

43. But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

44. As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.

45. Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”

*MARY VISITS ELIZABETH*
The two women finally met each other. One was carrying a child even though she had never known a man while the other was pregnant after she had been declared 'barren' by the society.

God used their different situations to raise godly 'seeds' that totally changed human history.

Mary's visit to Elizabeth further confirmed the Lord's prophecies to her concerning the child she was carrying. Her greetings caused the child in Elizabeth's womb to leap for Joy while she herself was filled with the Holy Spirit.

Jesus was indeed the saviour of the world who brings joy to mankind. He feels people with the Holy spirit to accomplish His purposes on earth.

*QUESTION:*
What is your view about Jesus and His ministry on earth?

*PRAYER:*
Help me, dear Lord, to always encounter You so that Your Spirit will empower me to do exploits on this side of eternity, in Jesus name. Amen.

FRIDAY, 20 DECEMBER
TEXT: LUKE 1:26-38
TOPIC: SUBMIT TO THE WILL OF GOD

The birth of the Lord Jesus Christ happened in an extraordinary way because God always chooses to work in His own way. He chose one virgin amongst the many that were in Israel to demonstrate His power and make a difference.

This news shocked Mary and it was going to be very difficult for Joseph and others to believe. However, God's ways are different from ours. He took His time to convince Mary about what He was going to do through her.

After He informed her about the miracle He had wrought in Elizabeth's life, Mary bowed to the wishes of the Lord. We must always allow God to do what He wants to do in and through us for His glory.

QUESTION: How do you often react when something you never expected suddenly happens?

PRAYER: Dear Lord, help me to always submit to Your will so that You can accomplish what have planned for humanity and through me in Jesus name. Amen.

TEXT: LUKE 1:6-25
TOPIC: GOD'S TIME IS ALWAYS THE BEST

The story of Zachariah and Elizabeth always brings hope and encouragements to the hearts of many.

It is a bold declaration that our God can do much more than we can ever imagine.

This family of faithful priests had committed itself to the service of God but was without a child.

You can imagine the kind of ridicule they were exposed to by the people of the world after giving their lives to serving the Lord. But when God's time for them came, He visited them in an extra ordinary way.

The process God used shocked not only Zachariah and his wife but everyone who saw and heard their story.

We must never lose sight of the fact that God preserves people to use them at His own appointed time.

QUESTION:
How do you feel each time God seems to be delaying in responding to your needs?

PRAYER:
Dear Father, please use me for Your glory and help me to wait patiently for the time You have set to manifest Your wonders through me, in Jesus name. Amen.
