Text: 1 Kings 8:54-61

8:54   And so it was, when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication to the Lord, that he arose from before the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.

8:55  Then he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying:

8:56  “Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest^[a] to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses.

8:57 May the Lord our God be with us, as He was with our fathers. May He not leave us nor forsake us,

8:58  that He may incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, which He commanded our fathers

8:59   And may these words of mine, with which I have made supplication before the Lord, be near the Lord our God day and night, that He may maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people Israel, as each day may require,

8:60 that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God; there is no other. 

8:61 Let your heart therefore be ^[b]loyal to the Lord our God, to walk in His statutes and keep His commandments, as at this day.”

STUDY:

During the dedication of the temple, when Solomon finished praying series of prayers unto God, he stood up in front of the altar where he knelt, raised his hands towards heaven and blessed the people. In blessing the people, he did it in such a way as not to take over the functions of a Priest. His prayer was systematic. He praised the Lord who had given rest to his people, and also proclaimed the faithfulness of God.

After thanking God and acknowledging His faithfulness; he made 5 basic requests: (a) He prayed for God’s presence (v. 57) (b) He prayed that God would give them the desire to do His will in everything (v. 58) (c) He prayed for the desire and ability to obey God’s decrees and commands (v. 58) (d) He prayed for help with each day’s needs (v. 49) (e) He prayed for the extension of God’s kingdom to the entire world. These prayer by Solomon are applicable for today’s daily living. In fact, the prayer is the same with the Lord’s Prayer which Jesus taught us. We need to adore and praise God in our prayer, and also ask for His constant presence with us and in our daily needs.

Prayer: 

Faithful God, I need your presence every passing hour. Please incline my heart to keep your laws. Amen.

Text: 1 Kings 8:44-53

8:44   When Your people go out to battle against their enemy, wherever You send them, and when they pray to the Lord toward the city which You have chosen and the temple which I have built for Your name,

8:45   then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their ^[a]cause.

8:46 “When they sin against You (for there is no one who does not sin), and You become angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, and they take them captive to the land of the enemy, far or near; 

8:47  yet when they ^[b]come to themselves in the land where they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication to You in the land of those who took them captive, saying, ‘We have sinned and done wrong, we have committed wickedness’; 

8:48  and when they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who led them away captive, and pray to You toward their land which You gave to their fathers, the city which You have chosen and the temple which I have built for Your name:

8:49    then hear in heaven Your dwelling place their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their ^[c]cause, 

8:50  and forgive Your people who have sinned against You, and all their transgressions which they have transgressed against You; and grant them compassion before those who took them captive, that they may have compassion on them 

8:51 (for they are Your people and Your inheritance, whom You brought out of Egypt, out of the iron furnace), 

8:52  that Your eyes may be open to the supplication of Your servant and the supplication of Your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they call to You. 

8:53 For You separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be Your inheritance, as You spoke by Your servant Moses, when You brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.”

STUDY:

As we conclude Solomon’s prayer of dedication at the temple, we need to think of prayer as something we cannot live without. The importance of prayer as a means of communicating with God is emphasised here, highlighting the power of approaching God with humility. There is a confidence displayed by Solomon over what God is capable of doing in the temple. We must learn from this because God is more than able to take care of us.
Trusting God is the best we can do in our daily living.

In times of facing battles against the enemy, sin, or exile, we should remember that “If they turn to you with their whole heart and soul in the land of their enemies and pray toward the land you gave to their ancestors—toward this city you have chosen, and toward this Temple I have built to honor your name—then hear their prayers and their petition from heaven where you live, and uphold their cause” (vv. 48 & 49). We are reminded of the need to pray continually (1 Thess. 5:17) and pray fervently (James 5:16). If we look up to God in everything by prayer, He is sure to help us out in everything.

Prayer: 

Dear Lord, let your ears be open to my prayers. Please hear me when I call. Amen.

Text: Luke 10:1-9

10:1    After these things the Lord appointed ^[a]seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go

10:2  Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

10:3 Then the king turned around and blessed the whole assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.

10:4 And he said: “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to my father David, and with His hand has fulfilled it, saying, 

10:5  Since the day that I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house, that My name might be there; but I chose David to be over My people Israel.’

10:6     Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a ^[a]temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel. 

10:7 But the Lord said to my father David, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a temple for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.

10:8 Nevertheless you shall not build the temple, but your son who will come from your body, he shall build the temple for My name.’

10:9  So the Lord has fulfilled His word which He spoke; and I have ^[b]filled the position of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised; and I have built a temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel

10:10 And there I have made a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord which He made with our fathers, when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.”

STUDY:

Today is St Luke the Evangelist’s day. Luke was one of the Disciples of Jesus Christ. He was a medical doctor by profession and attended to Paul in his missionary journeys. He was also the author of Luke and Acts of the Apostles. In this passage, Luke reminds us that the sheep know their shepherd very well. They listen to and recognise his voice and that is why they follow only their shepherd. It is difficult, if not impossible for them to follow a stranger. So as sheep, we must listen to the voice of the shepherd and follow him where he leads.
The illustration is fit for the present day Christian leaders who are likened to the shepherd.

Christian leaders are here advised to go through the gate—the due process of raising church leaders—before they can lead others. There is also the process of officially assigning one to his/her place of assignment. The writer of Hebrews reminds us that “no one takes the honour upon himself…” (Heb. 5:4). The shepherd should have a sincere relationship and intimacy with the sheep. He should always provide the needed leadership with the needed courage at all times. And finally, he is expected to help the sheep find good pastures.

Prayer: 

Dear Jesus, make me a good Christian leader who will be like you and who will be ready to lay down my life for the sheep I lead. Amen.

Text: John 11:17-27

11:17   So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days. 

11:18   Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about ^[a]two miles away.

11:19  And many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

11:20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him, but Mary was sitting in the house.

11:21  Now Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.

11:22    But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”

11:23  Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

11:24  Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

11:25  Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.

11:26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?

11:27 She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”

STUDY:

Jesus was informed of Lazarus’ sickness but he delayed for some days until his death. By the time he arrived Bethany, he was told that Lazarus had been buried for four days. To reassure Martha of his ability to overcome death and his power over death, Jesus stated that He is the resurrection and life, though Martha did not understand what He meant.

Death has no power around Jesus, for He swallowed death in victory (1 Cor. 15:57). By His death, burial, resurrection and glorious ascension, He defeated death and it no longer has power over Christians. Christians are partakers of the resurrection as Paul reminds us thus: “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him” (1 Thess. 4:14). So for us to share in this, we need to believe Jesus now and always. Martha gave us an example when she responded, “Yes, Lord, I have always believed you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who has come into the world from God” (v. 27).

Prayer: 

Oh Lord, let every dead thing in my life come back to life in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Text: 1 Kings 8:22-30

8:22   Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven;

8:23   and he said: “Lord God of Israel, there is no God in heaven above or on earth below like You, who keep Your covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts.

8:24 You have kept what You promised Your servant David my father; You have both spoken with Your mouth and fulfilled it with Your hand, as it is this day.

8:25 Therefore, Lord God of Israel, now keep what You promised Your servant David my father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man sit before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, that they walk before Me as you have walked before Me.’

8:26  And now I pray, O God of Israel, let Your word come true, which You have spoken to Your servant David my father.

8:27     “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this temple which I have built!

8:28  Yet regard the prayer of Your servant and his supplication, O Lord my God, and listen to the cry and the prayer which Your servant is praying before You today:

8:29 that Your eyes may be open toward this ^[a]temple night and day, toward the place of which You said, ‘My name shall be there,’ that You may hear the prayer which Your servant makes toward this place. 

8:30  And may You hear the supplication of Your servant and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Hear in heaven Your dwelling place; and when You hear, forgive.

STUDY:

At the dedication of the temple of Jerusalem, King Solomon prayed for the temple, unto the Lord. He reminded God that He keeps His covenant and has kept His promise to His servant, David. According to Solomon in our passage, “You made that promise with your own mouth, and with your own hands you have fulfilled it today. And now, O LORD, God of Israel, carry out the additional promise you made to your servant David, my father” (v. 26). Another promise the Lord made to him was “My name will be there” (v. 29).

God makes promises and fulfils them. Trust Him and His process and He will always come through for you, because forever, His word is settled in heaven. Be encouraged by this: “God is not a man that he should lie; neither the son of man that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” (Numb. 23:19). We always need to be thankful and grateful to God for the promises He has fulfilled in order to activate the fulfilment of the rest. And finally, we should wait patiently for God’s appointed time set for such promises.

Prayer: 

Oh Lord, who keeps His word from generation to generation, visit me in your mighty power and confirm your word to me now and always. Amen.

Text:1 Kings 8:12-21

8:12   Then Solomon spoke: “The Lord said He would dwell in the dark cloud.

8:13  I have surely built You an exalted house, And a place for You to dwell in forever.”

8:14 Then the king turned around and blessed the whole assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.

8:15 And he said: “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to my father David, and with His hand has fulfilled it, saying, 

8:16  Since the day that I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house, that My name might be there; but I chose David to be over My people Israel.’

8:17     Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a ^[a]temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel. 

8:18 But the Lord said to my father David, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a temple for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.

8:19 Nevertheless you shall not build the temple, but your son who will come from your body, he shall build the temple for My name.’

8:20  So the Lord has fulfilled His word which He spoke; and I have ^[b]filled the position of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised; and I have built a temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel

8:21 And there I have made a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord which He made with our fathers, when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.”

STUDY:

From our passage, Solomon states clearly that God did not choose any city for the Israelites to build Him a house but chose David to be over His people. The selection of David shows that God knew who He wanted to lead His people and He went for him. “And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he” (1 Sam. 16:12). This signifies how dear David was to God’s heart, as God’s election supersedes everything! Little wonder, he was described as a man after God’s heart.

In our world today, people insist on leading people, even when they neither have the support of the people, nor that of God. When this happens, it is either unpopular persons are forced on others or such unpopular persons come to power by force. We should be careful not to allow our quest for power and position get us to such a level of madness. Even in the Church, God chooses whom He wants and sets him over His people, and His choice should always be respected by all and sundry as He does not in any way make mistakes.

Prayer: 

Eternal Father, I pray that you look with pity on me and mark me and my family for excellence.

Text: 1 Kings 8:1-11

8:1  Now Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the City of David, which is Zion. 

8:2 Therefore all the men of Israel assembled with King Solomon at the feast in the month of ^[a]Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

8:3  So all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

8:4  Then they brought up the ark of the Lord, the ^[b]tabernacle of meeting, and all the holy furnishings that were in the tabernacle. The priests and the Levites brought them up.

8:5  Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude. 

8:6   Then the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the Most Holy Place, under the wings of the cherubim.

8:7   For the cherubim spread their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles.

8:8 The poles extended so that the ^[c]ends of the poles could be seen from the holy place, in front of the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside. And they are there to this day.

8:9 Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

8:10 And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord

8:11  so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord.

STUDY:

The Ark of the Covenant was at the centre of the worship of God’s people, Israel. It was previously captured by the Philistines (1 Sam. 4:11) and was later brought to Zion by David and kept in the tent he had made for it (1 Sam. 6:16-17). Soon after the dedication of the temple of Jerusalem, King Solomon’s next and most important move was to bring up the Ark of God into the temple and restore it to where it rightly belonged. In doing this, he made sure all the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes—the leaders of the ancestral families of the Israelites, were part of it. By this approach, everyone was connected to the altar and the ark.

If we get ourselves connected to the altar and the Ark of the Covenant of God, we will be certain that God’s blessing will flow from the throne of grace to every one of us. More so, God’s presence will be revealed in our midst, as shown in our passage: “When the priests came out of the Holy Place, a thick cloud filled the Temple of the LORD. The priests could not continue their service because of the cloud, for the glorious presence of the LORD filled the Temple” (vv. 10-11). This experience is worth looking up to.

Prayer: 

Oh Lord, help me to always acknowledge your presence, activate it and experience it. Amen.

Text: Philippians 4:10-23

4:10  But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your^[a] care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity.

4:11   Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: 

4:12    I know how to ^[b]be abased, and I know how to ^[c]abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 

4:13  I can do all things through ^[d]Christ who strengthens me.

4:14  Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress.

4:15     Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only.

4:16   For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities.

4:17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account.

4:18  Indeed I ^[e]have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. 

4:19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 

4:20  Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

4:21  Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.

4:22 All the saints greet you, but especially those who are of Caesar’s household.

4:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with ^[f]you all. Amen.

STUDY:

Paul appreciated the gifts sent by the Philippians in supporting his ministry. He pointed out that from the time he left Macedonia, only the Philippians had partnered with him. He also acknowledged experiencing both the good and bad sides of life as contributing in balancing his life as a child of God. Concluding, he prayed that God would supply all their needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (v. 19). Paul in various passages, also acknowledged churches and people who genuinely supported his ministry, and prayed for God’s rewards for them.

Note that apart from our time and our talent, the Gospel needs huge financial sponsorship from time to time. We are challenged from Luke 8:1-3 with how Jesus’ ministry was sponsored by Mary and other women, from their resources. At other times, Peter and others gave out their boats to be used by Jesus (Luke 5:3). A young lad also gave out his five loaves of bread and two fishes (John 6:9). In all, we are reminded that there is a reward from God for all these. So continue to do well in your support for kingdom matters, or start now if you have not been supportive of God’s work. Great is your reward from God, now and hereafter.

Prayer: 

Dear Lord, help me not to lose focus in supporting your work with my time, talent and treasure. Amen.

Text: Matthew 21:28-32

21:28  Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe.

21:29   Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilation!

21:30   For we are the circumcision, who worship ^[a]God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,

21:31 though I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so: 

21:32  circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

STUDY:

While Jesus was teaching in the temple, the chief priests and elders came to Him with a question concerning His authority and power. To push their argument, they lay claim to the Abrahamic coverage of their sonship. To deal with their argument, Jesus came up with the parable of two sons. The first son agreed to go on an errand for the father but did not go while the second initially did not agree to go, but later went. In this parable, the first son refers to those who are totally disloyal and disobedient to the father they initially claimed faithfulness to while the second refers to those who were thought to be disobedient in the first instance, but are now obedient, doing the father’s wish.

This parable reminds us that the real sons are not just hearers of the word but the doers. James bore witness to this when he stated, “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves” (James 1:22). God’s instructions are meant to be obeyed even when they are not convenient for us. Take a firm decision today to always obey God, even in the midst of the anti-God worldly system, and you will never regret you did.

Prayer: 

Dear Lord, help me to obey your word always and so prove that I am your son indeed. Amen.

Text: Philippians 3:12-21

3:12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.

3:13  Brethren, I do not count myself to have ^[b]apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,

3:14    I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

3:15 Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. 

3:16 Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already ^[c]attained, let us walk by the same ^[d]rule, let us be of the same mind.

3:17  Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.

3:18   For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

3:19  whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things. 

3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 

3:21  who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.

STUDY:

In our text, Paul reflects on the Christian journey, emphasising the power of a Christ-centered mindset in pursuing spiritual maturity. He acknowledges that he had not yet reached perfection but was pressing on to take hold of the purpose for which Christ took hold of him (v. 12). This humility and focused mindset highlight the believer’s need to continually grow in their relationship with Christ.

Paul encourages believers to follow godly examples and avoid the path of those who live as enemies of the cross, whose focus is earthly desires (vv. 17-19). In contrast, a Christ-centered mindset shifts our identity to being citizens of heaven, eagerly awaiting the return of Christ, who will transform our bodies to be like His glorious body (vv. 20-21). This passage challenges Christians to adopt a mindset shaped by eternal values, striving for Christ’s likeness and living with purpose and hope.

Prayer: 

Dear Lord, transform my mind and fix my thoughts on Christ. Empower me to live victoriously, with humility, gratitude, and obedience. Amen.
