O ever Immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy, Health of the Sick, Refuge of Sinners, Comfort to the Afflicted, you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings. Deign to cast upon me a look of mercy. By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes, you were pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary, whence you dispense your favors; and already many sufferers have obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal.
I come, therefore, with the most unbounded confidence to implore your maternal intercession. Obtain, O loving Mother, the granting of my requests. Through gratitude for favors, I will endeavor to imitate your virtues that I may one day share your glory.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us. Amen.

THEME: GRATITUDE

MEMORISE
Psalms 92:1
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

READ
Psalms 92:1-6, 9-10
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*It is a good thing to give thanks to God always.*

MESSAGE
Happy New Month to you and your family beloved, welcome to the sixth month of the year.

According to our text today, gratitude is a good thing that begets good things as a reward in our lives.

When you are genuinely grateful for God's faithfulness in your life, He enlists you for greater glory ahead.

It is an established fact that only a handful of people are thankful because you have to be thoughtful to be thankful.

Only a handful of people are thoughtful enough to be thankful for all of God's faithfulness.

The story of the ten lepers in Luke 17 readily comes to mind, Jesus cleansed ten undeserving lepers who were ostracized and excommunicated from their families and friends because of their highly contagious disease.

Only one was thoughtful enough to return with gratitude. And the remaining nine of them went away like that. They probably thought it was a coincidence. This is the irony of life.

A wise man once said: only great fools are ungrateful.
Today is the first day of the sixth month of the year. Be thoughtful enough to be grateful today because God has been faithful in keeping you alive in spite of your inadequacies and weaknesses.

It is a good thing to give thanks always.

ACTION STEPS
1. Ensure that you are in church today to praise and worship God for His mercies and goodness.
2. Remain thankful always to appreciate God for the gift of life.

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. Thank you for the privilege of being alive. Forgive me for every sin of ingratitude. And help me to stay thoughtful enough to be grateful always in Jesus' name. Amen.

REMEMBER
*It is a good thing to give thanks to God always.*

Early in the morning, our song shall rise to Thee ;

Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea ;
Cherubim and Seraphim falling down before Thee,
Which wert, and art, and evermore shall be.

Though the eye of sinful man

Only Thou art holy, there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

All Thy works shall praise
Thy name in earth, and sky,and sea ;

THEME: *HELL IS REAL!*

MEMORIZE
Psalms 9:17
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

READ
[Matthew 5:22,29,30]
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*There is nothing on earth that is worth going to hell for.*

MESSAGE
There is nothing on earth that is worth going to hell for.

Wealth, fame, popularity, success and all the accolades of this transient life is nothing to compare with the eternal glory that awaits us in the celestial city for all who would truly follow the Lord Jesus Christ in truth and in spirit.

The people of this world are blind and can not see what lies ahead in eternity, hence their pursuit of the things of this fleeting life.

In a bid to acquire the wealth of this life, they would rather trade away their eternal souls for perishing and vanishing earthly glories.

If there is anything you want to be sure you have, it is your soul. The Lord Jesus Christ said; it takes patience to possess one's soul in this life because of the fight involved in keeping one's soul intact.

The numerous bizarre and bewitching distractions of this world, the pressure to belong to a class of happening circles, the rat race of picking bills, and meeting needs, marital obligations etc; all tug the souls of men and cause them to stagger, reeling back and forth as men fight their ways through life.

However, in the midst of these pressures, God's Word is our most authentic and reliable guide.

Individuals who would keep God's word handy, reading always with hearts lighted by the Holy Spirit, will never miss their ways in this darkening world.

The entrance of God's Word will always give light and understanding to the simple.

On the other hand, there are people who use religion as a covering to do wicked things. They are in the church and other worship places but are working for Satan directly or indirectly by their lifestyles. They're involved in all manners of evil practices; covetousness, immorality, greed, avarice, etc. These have identified themselves as agents of Satan by their works. To these ones, hell-fire is prepared.

Beloved, hell is full of many powerful people who thought following the ways of God was ****** and archaic, only for them to be repenting severally when their repentance was useless. Do not allow anything to make you go to hell fire.

It is a real place of torment for all who reject the ways of God.

ACTION STEPS
1. Prayerfully meditate on today's devotional guide again.
2. Be determined to guard against anything that can possibly take you to hell.
3. Pray that your heart be purified from every wrong intentions and motives.

REMEMBER
*There is nothing on earth that is worth going to hell for.*

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. I receive grace to accept the responsibility of staying away from everything that defiles and pollutes, I receive grace to live acceptably and pure in your eyes, always in Jesus' name. Amen.

What can wash away my stain ?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus !
What can make me whole again ?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus !

Oh, precious is the flow,
That makes me white as snow !
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus !

2
For my cleansing this I see —
Nothing but the blood of Jesus !
For my pardon this my plea —
Nothing but the blood of Jesus !

3
Nothing can for sin atone —
Nothing but the blood of Jesus !
Naught of good that I have done —
Nothing but the blood of Jesus !

4
This is all my hope and peace —
Nothing but the blood of Jesus !
This is all my righteousness —
Nothing but the blood of Jesus !
