Glory is like a circle in the water, which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, till by broad spreading it disperse to naught."

WHEN YOU LEAVE THE CHURCH SYSTEM OF TODAY, THIS IS WHAT GOD DOES FOR YOU…. Let’s start with a simple analogy. When your heart was illuminated from heaven, and you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you left Satan. Since then, have you noticed that Satan has NOT left you alone? Yes, by God’s grace, Satan does not control your life today - as he used to. But, have you been able to get rid of him completely? I’m sure the answer is NO. In exactly the same way, when God illuminates your heart and you leave the evil, lukewarm church system of today, please always remember that the church system does NOT quite leave you! This is partly because the church system of today possesses the STUBBORN NATURE of its designer and builder – Satan. It’s also because the ways of the church system of today blends excellently with our fleshly nature. So, depending on how long you have spent in the church system, its spirit continues to hover around you, seeking to influence you as the Lord rescues you from its clinging claws to follow Christ. Therefore, when God rescues you from the church system, please always remember this: you’ll need a lot of PATIENCE and HUMILITY to move forward in the journey ahead. (A journey that many believers will find very, very challenging.) As you get out of the church system it will take some time for God to get the church system out of you. Primarily, this is because the church system was NOT built around Christ. Rather, it was built around MAN! Built by MAN. Built for MAN. (This is why, till today, many sincere, Christ-loving believers find it difficult to leave the church system – even after they realise that Jesus Christ is NOT at its centre). But when God calls you out of that church system - to properly integrate you into the heavenly Body of Christ - it will take a considerable time for you to adjust to the process. There would be lots and lots to learn and re-learn. The primary lesson will revolve around how to be LED DIRECTLY FROM HEAVEN by the spirit of God. This will be in contrast to how you were LED in the church system both by your own will, and by the WILL OF MEN (pastors). Now, let’s break this down further. In God’s plan of salvation, a believer’s life no longer belongs to him. It belongs EXCLUSIVELY to God! And that life is supposed to be lived EXCLUSIVELY for Christ (2 Cor 5:15). Because of this divine reality, that life can only be CONTROLLED from heaven. This is why Jesus (who modelled the life we ought to live as believers) kept repeating words like these: “I can of mine own self do NOTHING (John 5:19,30, etc). So, when God rescues you from the church system of today, one of the FIRST LESSONS He’ll teach you relates to directing your attention to WHOM you were called in salvation. Most believers that come out of the church system of today would want God to show them WHERE to go next (that is, which new church/fellowship to attend next). But, Christianity is primarily not about WHERE, it’s about a WHO!!! And that WHO is Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God. So, God will take time to get you to become more acquainted with Jesus MORE INTIMATELY. Yes, you may have known Him in salvation. But, God wants you to know Him MORE INTIMATELY. To see Him. To hear Him. To smell Him. To feel Him. To touch Him. And, above all, to be LED BY HIM! This is NOT a lesson that is taught primarily by man. Rather, it is taught from heaven by the Spirit. The Spirit of God. So, when you leave the church system of today, instead of rushing to join another church, God might ‘leave you’ for some time with the Holy Spirit to be your direct Teacher – rather than men. The Holy Spirit will teach you more and more of Christ AND how to be led by His Spirit. To accomplish this goal, He will supernaturally plant resources around you. Resources that you may not notice – if ALL your focus is channelled towards the desire to simply be led to the next church/fellowship! But, if you are sensitive, you may notice the resources He’s sending your way. A book here. A message there. An article here. A video there. As well as one, two, or three brethren that He connects to you for discussions/informal fellowship. And so on. As you utilise these resources and continuously remain sensitive to His leading, you’d be amazed at how you’ll begin to GROW in the Spirit and in your sensitivity to Him! And that’s because, gradually, He’ll shift your focus from the ‘WHERE’ (which we learnt from the church system) to the ‘WHO’ (as ordained by God in salvation). It is in this way that the Spirit of the Lord will eventually LEAD YOU to the physical fellowship that HE Himself has prepared for you - and prepared you for. (For some believers, this process may take years!!!) In such an assembly, you’ll find other believers that may have undergone a similar divine training/journey. Believers that have been WEANED from the evil origin/ways of the church system – so that their focus can be on Christ ALONE. Where Christ ALONE is at the centre of the church. It is only in such a Christ-honouring assembly that you can truly grow in fellowship as ordained by God (Heb 10:25). The alternative is to rush from one church/fellowship in the church system of today to another church/fellowship that has NOT been delivered from the spirit of the church system of today. What a disaster! And, then, God will have to rescue you again. And the process starts all over again. Of course, there’s no sense in this. And there’s no time to waste in this perilous end-time. So, when God delivers you from the church system of today, please understand that there will be A PERIOD OF RE-ORIENTATION as the Holy Spirit Himself realigns your focus back to Christ as the SPRINGBOARD of your life. A life that is controlled from heaven and channelled into the will of God on earth. The journey will be quite challenging. But, at the end, you’ll be grateful that God, in His wisdom, did not only take you out of the evil church system of today, but that He also took the evil church system of today out of you! So that you may thrive and flourish in the life of Christ (and in destiny) – as ordained by God when He saved you by His unfailing love for your precious soul. Thanks for reading, God bless you. (PS - To understand WHY/HOW the church system of today became lukewarm and evil, pls have a look at the article titled, 'THIS IS WHY GOD WILL NEVER, EVER COMPROMISE WITH THE CHURCH SYSTEM OF TODAY....' Here's the link to the article - https://www.facebook.com/742640349163995/photos/pb.100064517749584.-2207520000/1640733416021346/?type=3 )

The obvious trap that anti-GMO campaigners keep falling into is to base their argument around science instead of economics. That's a surefire way of losing the debate and making yourself look like some kind of Pastor Chris conspiracy kook. Look, I come from a family where if you close your eyes and throw a stone, it will hit a doctor. They're like ants. And I can tell you for free that doctors are some of the most arrogant and intransigent professionals you will ever meet, especially where it concerns things that fall within their scope which they don't fully understand - but they will never admit it to you. A doctor is like a pilot. They are trained to carry out specific tasks using a written set of instructions and parameters. Everything functions off checklists, instructions, and equipment that someone else created, and their job is to demonstrate knowledge of, and compliance with these things. It's not a doctor's job to question the funding, motive, or methodology behind a peer-reviewed research paper. It's not a doctor's job to question why certain research studies have NOT been carried out and why. A doctor's job, like a pilot's job, is to read what someone put in the book and follow the instructions built on this information. If a study conclusively proving that GMO food has negative health consequences has not been done because nobody will fund it, it's not a doctor's job to ask why. Just like despite Boeing whistleblowers as far back as 2014 having complained about the 737 MAX program, it wasn't the Lion Air pilot's job to determine whether the design of this aircraft posed any hazards. Their job was to follow checklist and do as they were told. The truth that you will never hear a doctor admit is that most doctors are not especially knowledgeable about things outside their narrow field of specialisation. And even within their field, the knowledge they have is the knowledge that the medical industry allows them to have. Until now as you're reading this, many American doctors and nurses are still taught that there are racial differences in how pain is felt, and that black women feel less pain than white women. As a result of this completely racist, unscientific, 18th century nonsense which nobody has removed from the books, black women in the US are routinely given less anaesthetic during medical procedures, and they are 7-12 times more likely to die during pregnancy and childbirth than white women. If you point this out to an American doctor, he will find excuses to deny the obvious or take offense at being queried by a layman who hasn't done 100 level Anatomy. Until Bill Gates funds a peer-reviewed study showing that this 18th century anachronism shouldn't be taught in medical school, and then lobbies the Department of Health to change its guidelines, they will keep defending it because that's what the books say. So as an anti-GMO campaigners, the dumbest thing you can do is start quoting obscure or suppressed studies to 'prove' to a medical professional that GMOs are bad. It's a fight you cannot win and you would be foolish to even try. By the time he whips out a paragraph of 5-syllable words that he learnt from his medical textbook, you'll be left blinking your eyes and looking like a dickhead. Bill Gates is a very smart guy. He has ensured that the entire medical research space cannot produce any research that contradicts the one that supports his financial interests, and typically nobody who wears a white coat dares to stand up to him. So stick to the economic argument, which is that one man cannot be allowed to privatise and monopolise an entire continent's food supply. Force them to remain on the defensive by using an argument that anyone can understand, and there is no logical comeback for. Stop losing and looking silly because you want to take on a white coat on their own turf. It doesn't end well. Stick to what you can prove and defend empirically. Leave the Pastor Chris nonsense out.

Dear Nigerians, ‼️ Please do not joke with this warning. Read & share widely. This is not about politics. Tinubu's relentless foreign aid threatens to plunge Nigeria into its darkest era yet, a pit from which recovery may be impossible. GMOs will fuck us all!! Around June 2024, the Federal Government of Nigeria quietly launched the TELA Maize Variety, a genetically modified organism (GMO) seed allegedly designed to boost maize production in the country, with little to no publicity. The TELA Maize was developed at the Institute of Agricultural Research (IAR) at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, in collaboration with the African Agriculture Technology Foundation (AATF), which is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. GMOs, or Genetically Modified Organisms, are plants, animals, or microorganisms whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Scientists isolate specific genes from one organism and insert them into another to transfer desired traits. For example, scientists can insert genes from a bacterium that naturally produces insect-killing proteins into a crop plant. This modification helps the plant resist pests without requiring chemical insecticides. How will it affect Nigeria? GMOs are like seeds with superpowers; they can harm other living things, such as: - Bees, birds, and butterflies that interact with the plants - Animals like cows, horses, and goats that eat the plants - Nearby plants that grow alongside GMO crops The use of herbicide-resistant GMOs can trigger dangerous ecological changes in Nigeria. One major risk is the rise of herbicide-resistant weeds, which thrive despite chemical control. This disrupts balance in our ecosystem and build a chain reaction and that's just the beginning If bees are harmed, they can't help natural plants grow by spreading pollen. That means animals depending on those plants for food or shelter start to suffer. With their habitats shrinking, they migrate or die off. We could see huge wildlife extinction within a few decades. Health implications: Introducing genes from one food into another can trigger new allergens or unknown effects in the human body. The long-term health impact of GMO foods is still unclear. It’s like being used for experiments without your consent. Just like a fucking Lab rat GMOs have been linked to cancers, allergies, and other health issues partly due to their reliance on toxic pesticides. By harming biodiversity and reducing nutritional diversity, they pose serious risks to both human health and the environment. There has been growing speculation around GMOs in Africa, especially with figures like Bill Gates involved. Many see it as more than just control over Nigeria’s food system; it raises fears of long-term harm to public health and population through toxic, life-altering food. Let’s talk about the economic implications: What is a patent? A patent is the sole right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention. In this context, it means Nigeria can only buy seeds from Bill Gates. From our laws too “Patents and Designs Act Cap 344,” GMO seeds are often patented, meaning a few foreign companies control the seed supply, forcing farmers to buy new seeds every season at higher costs. The result? Farmer dependency, and loss of control over Nigeria’s agriculture & food security to a foreigner, Be worried. Just like our oil was patented, so Nigeria must rely on a few foreign companies to refine it, and we’re seeing the same with our farmlands. GMO patents threaten our food security, leaving food production in the hands of outsiders. Same trap, different sector. GMO seeds are made to resist pests and herbicides. But once planted, they lead to super-strong weeds that won’t die even after spraying herbicides. These “superweeds” are a tough, lasting problem for farmers and the environment. They become herbicide-resistant weeds, plants that survive even after weedkiller sprays. When weeds face the same herbicide over and over, they adapt and build resistance, making them harder to control; they keep spreading, threatening crops and ecosystems. When herbicide-resistant weeds take over farmland, they kill any non-GMO crops planted. This forces Nigerian farmers or the Nigerian state to rely only on patented GMO seeds controlled by foreign companies like those linked to Bill Gates or risk losing their harvest and going hungry. Control over our food supply gives these companies huge power, potentially swaying government decisions just to keep access to GMO seeds. “He who controls a nation’s food chain controls the nation.” This could put Nigeria completely in their pocket. The biggest issue? Market transparency. GMO seed monopolies often hide or don’t label their products, so farmers can’t make informed choices. The Nigerian government already gave them the go-ahead to enter our market. This means many will end up unknowingly buying and planting GMOs

Let’s write a love story worth rereading

*I shut my office door and wept. I couldn’t hold back the tears, especially after stepping into the female hostel, now overcrowded*. *Every single girl under our care this session is under 25 years old. Some are just 12. And here’s what breaks my heart even more-none of these girls were rescued from the streets*. *Every one of them was brought in by their own parents. While checking in bags at both the girls’ and boys’ hostels, we found paraphernalia - evidence of addiction, rebellion, deep-rooted pain…* *This is not just a problem. This is a pandemic*. *Let’s stop pretending. Let’s stop covering our eyes*. *Things are NOT right with our Youths*. *Today, I read about a young man expelled from Babcock University - a teenager with a ₦100,000 ritual soap from a herbalist.* *He borrowed ₦500,000. He became a drug peddler.* *Not from a poor home. Not a street child. But a well-groomed boy from a comfortable background. Wetin him dey find? KILO NWA KIRI !!!* *What is going on with our YOUTHS? Why this desperation for quick wealth*? *What has happened to HARD WORK, INTEGRITY, and DIGNITY*? *Last week, we struggled to find a tiler for one of our projects. We had to bring in one from Togo. Why*? *Because our own YOUTH do not want to learn any skill*. *They don’t want SCHOOL.* * *They want “HOOKUP*” * *They want “YAHOO*.” * *They want to do nothing but SCROLL, LIE, PARTY and they want MONEY FAST*. *And let’s be real. You cannot do Yahoo or Hookup without drugs or Alcohol. They go hand in hand*. *My heart is heavy. Are we just going to fold our hands and watch this generation waste away*? *PARENTS! Wake up*! *Where are you*? *Why the silence*? *Why the complacency*? *Why are some of us condoning and funding this destructive lifestyle*? *Your child doesn’t need a new Phone - they need PURPOSE*. *They don’t need more Data - they need DISCIPLINE*. *They don’t need “FREEDOM” - they need BOUNDARIES*. *We cannot keep blaming SOCIETIES, FRIENDS, INFLUENCERS. It starts from the HOME*. *Please, let’s start talking again*. *Let’s check their bags*. *Let’s check their hearts*. *Let’s check ourselves*. *To every Parent reading this please be present*. *Your child doesn’t just need your MONEY; they need your TIME and VOICE*. *Ask questions. Don’t be afraid to dig deeper, even if it’s uncomfortable*. *Teach values. Wealth is GOOD, but WISDOM, CHARACTER, and CONTENTMENT are better*. *Be their safe space. If you don’t listen, the world will and it will feed them lies*. *Let’s rise up and fight for the souls of our children. We may not be able to save all, but we must not give up on the ones we can reach* *They are not just the future - they are our now*. _*Let’s not lose them...*_ *WHEN PARENTS FAIL – HOW LACK OF DISCIPLINE IS CREATING A GENERATION OF LOST SOULS* There was a time when parents raised warriors. Now, they raise weaklings. A time when children feared their fathers’ discipline. Now, children insult their fathers online. A time when a slap from your mother could reset your entire future. Now, mothers watch their children twerk for clout. The world changed — not because evil became more powerful, but because parents became weaker. Children no longer have boundaries. No fear. No respect. No discipline. And the result? A generation that mocks God, worships vanity, and embraces sin with pride. *BRUTAL THREAD:* 1. *CHILDREN WITHOUT DISCIPLINE BECOME ADULTS WITHOUT SELF-CONTROL* A child who never hears “NO” at home will hear “NO” from life when it’s too late. The boy who was never told to control his desires will become a man addicted to sex, gambling, and laziness. The girl who was never told to respect herself would become a woman who exposes her body for money and attention. The child who was never corrected for lying will become an adult who deceives, manipulates, and steals. If parents don’t discipline their children, the world will punish them later. 2. *THE FALL OF FAMILY VALUES IS THE RISE OF MORAL DECAY* What happened to parenting? Mothers used to teach daughters how to be women of dignity. Now, they encourage them to _“secure the bag”_ by any means. Fathers used to teach sons how to be responsible men. Now, they are absent — either too weak, too distracted, or too scared to lead. So children are now learning from TikTok instead of at home, and the internet is raising a generation with no fear of God and no sense of direction. 3. *PARENTS WHO SPOIL THEIR CHILDREN ARE DESTROYING THEM* Giving your child everything they want is the fastest way to ruin them. A child who never worked for anything will grow up lazy and entitled. A child who was never disciplined will grow up thinking life has no consequences. A child who was never corrected will grow up believing they can do anything and get away with it. Now, we have a world full of adults who can’t handle rejection, can’t handle failure, and can’t handle life. 4. *WHEN PARENTS CHOOSE FRIENDSHIP OVER LEADERSHIP, CHAOS FOLLOWS* Many parents today want to be their child’s friend instead of their leader. So instead of saying: ❌ _"This behaviour is wrong!"_ They say, _"She’s just expressing herself."_ ❌ _"You must work for what you want!"¢ They say, ¢"Let me buy it for you."_ ❌ _"This is not acceptable!"_ They say, _"I don't want to hurt their feelings."_ And just like that, we have a generation of weak people who cry over small problems and break down when life gets tough. 5. *THE NEW GENERATION LOVES PLEASURE BUT HATES RESPONSIBILITY* Discipline used to be normal. Now, a child calls it _"abuse"_ when a parent corrects them. Now, teachers can’t discipline students because _"it’s too harsh."_ Now, young people demand freedom but reject accountability. Everyone wants to enjoy, but no one wants to work. And this is why: The streets are full of lazy men chasing quick money. Social media is full of young girls selling their bodies for attention. Homes are full of broken families because nobody was raised to be a good partner or parent. 6. *WHEN CHILDREN LOSE DISCIPLINE, THEY LOSE THEIR FUTURE.* Many young men today are addicted to masturbation, pornography, and cheap pleasure — because nobody taught them self-control. Many young women today expose their bodies for social media likes — because nobody taught them self-respect. Many young people today are broke, weak, and mentally unstable — because nobody taught them how to survive hardship. The devil is not the problem. The parents failed. 7. *IF WE DON’T FIX PARENTING, THE WORLD WILL GET WORSE.* If we continue like this, the next generation will: ⚠️ Have no morals. ⚠️ Have no work ethic. ⚠️ Have no fear of God. Society will collapse — not because of demons, but because of poor parenting. *BOTTOM LINE:* If you are a parent, discipline your children. If you are young, discipline yourself. Because the world will not be kind to those who were raised without discipline. *Let’s raise warriors, not weaklings.* *Pls forward this to family and friends, especially to those with young and teenage children* May Almighty GOD help us all, Ameen

🍒🌽 SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE BY DR PST PAUL ENENCHE DATE: FRIDAY, 25TH JULY 2025. TOPIC: FROM PRESSURE TO POWER SCRIPTURE: And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. ACTS 4:33. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Who surrounds you determines what you can survive. It has been confirmed that moving from pressure to the realm of power is a possibility. Throughout scripture, we see men and women who passed from seasons of great pressure and danger to seasons of unusual fire and power. Acts 4:1-33 shows us how the apostles were imprisoned and threatened never to speak in the Name of Jesus anymore. From that point of danger, intimidation and threat, they moved to the realm of power, fire and grace according to Acts 4:33. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. In 1 Samuel 17, we also see how David passed from pressure to power. For David, Goliath was just a bridge to national power and prominence. Goliath was a threat and danger to everyone else, but without the same Goliath, no one would have heard about David. Goliath was the bridge to David’s next level. He was indirectly the lifter of David's life and destiny. Beloved, you may be going through a season of intense pressure; you too can move from that pressure to the realm of power and dominion. Now, what is the secret of passing from pressure to power? Today, we shall look at one of the secrets, and it is to Remain in the company. The apostles remained in the assembly of the brethren when they were facing the pressure of persecution. Acts 4:23 says, And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. Beloved, remain in the assembly of the saints because your company affects your destiny. Your company affects your security. Who surrounds you determines what you can survive. Remain in the company, because to stand alone is to die alone. Whenever the devil wants to destroy a person, he isolates the person. Anytime the devil wants to ruin a person, he removes valuable, and profitable people from his life, and makes him empty and vulnerable. Beloved, if you want to pass from the realm of pressure to the realm of power, never allow any temptation to take you out of the company of the saints. REMEMBER THIS: Who surrounds you determines what you can survive. ASSIGNMENT(S): 1. Refuse to be discouraged or offended away from church. 2. Always lend a helping hand to anyone who is passing through a season of challenges, especially among the brethren. 3. Join a service unit in church and be active in a cell fellowship. PRAYER: Lord, thank You for the quality of people You have positioned around me. I refuse to be trapped by the pressure of life. I walk in the realm of power and dominion, Lord, in Jesus’ Name. FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: PASSING FROM PRESSURE TO POWER DAILY BIBLE READING: Isaiah 31-33 QUOTE: A real friend loves you the way you are; but he loves you too much to leave you the way you are. Culled from the book, 10 Principal Secrets of Principal People by Dr Paul Enenche. AMAZING FACT: Fighter jets are equipped with radar-absorbing materials to reduce visibility on enemy radar. PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: I decree your passage from the realms of pressure to power today in Jesus Name.

*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE* DATE: FRIDAY 25TH JULY 2025 THEME: *REFUSE TO QUIT* MEMORIZE Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. READ Luke 9:59-62 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY *Life belongs to determined visionaries.* MESSAGE It is on record that Jack Ma, the richest man in China was the only person rejected by KFC out of twenty four applicants. Harvard rejected him ten times, thirty employers said he was unemployable, but today he runs a $500 billion dollars empire. He mentioned in interviews that he applied to Harvard on ten different occasions and was rejected each time. He often shares this story as a lesson in persistence, resilience, and turning rejection into motivation. In his own words: > "I applied for Harvard ten times, and was rejected. I told myself, someday I should go teach there." Jack Ma uses this part of his story to encourage people not to give up in the face of failure or rejection. Those who give up never reach the top of the game of life. *Life belongs to determined visionaries.* Father Abraham would not give up in the days when nothing seemed to make sense hence he became the father of many nations. When Isaac wanted to give up, God came to him in a vision to encourage him against giving up. There are times when giving up on your dream will be the only reasonable thing to do. All great people have had their fair shares in the cocktails of discouragement in life. We all do, but the difference between those who succeeded and those who failed is the ability to see where you are going and to stay on course with determination no matter what you face. Rejection is not an excuse to turn back, neither is failure an excuse to give up. Your choice in every given situation is what counts. A wise man once said: "If it must be, then it's up to me" When you are faced with no other options but to turn back and run away, then remember that God makes a way where there is no way. And if you persist and persevere, you will discover that there is actually a way where there is no way... Certainly, the one who made a way in the red sea can make a way on dry lands for you. There is no such a thing as "NO WAY." It's just a mere mindset that is subject to change. There is always a way even if it's not visible to your eyes. Trust the Holy Spirit [the pathfinder] to show you the hidden ways of genuine success in front of you. Beloved, to give up or to stay on course to the end is entirely your choice. To win or to fail is dependent on your ability to persevere until you win. You can choose not to quit. The world may be against you, refuse to be against yourself. Shalom, maranatha! ACTION STEPS 1. Prayerfully meditate on today's devotional guide again. 2. Ask the Holy Spirit to build the resilience and the determination to stand strong and courageous until you win. 3. Keep your eyes on God's Word, trusting in His grace and mercy. REMEMBER *Life belongs to determined visionaries.* PRAYERS Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. I receive grace to accept the responsibility of standing strong and holding on to your plans and purposes for my life until your counsel prevail for me in Jesus' name. Amen. AUTHOR: JEDIDIAH DAVID DAILY READING: Psalms 135-137; Proverbs 24; Luke 14-15; HYMN 1 "There shall be showers of blessing": This is the promise of love; There shall be seasons refreshing, Sent from the Saviour above. Show - - ers of blessing, Showers of blessing we need; Mercy-drops round us are falling, But for the showers we plead. 2 "There shall be showers of blessing"— Precious reviving again; Over the hills and the valleys, Sound of abundance of rain. 3 "There shall be showers of blessing" Send them upon us, O Lord!: Grant to us now a refreshing; Come, and now honour Thy Word. 4 "There shall be showers of blessing": Oh that to-day they might fall, Now as to God we’re confessing, Now as on Jesus we call!
