DATE: FRIDAY FEBRUARY 27TH 2026

TOPIC: HE PROVIDES AHEAD OF YOUR NEEDS

MEMORISE:

Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. - (Psalm 147:5)

BIBLE READING: 1 CHRONICLES 29:11-12 (KJV)

11 Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.

12 Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.

MESSAGE:

God is all-powerful; His power is not seen only in His mighty works but also in how He sometimes mercifully provides the help we need before we even realise we need help.

Years ago, when Redemption City was still more than 95 percent covered with trees and bushes, I went for a walk one night as I usually do. Then, I loved to walk on the footpaths of the bushes to pray so that nobody would disturb me. That night, I was going about praying and enjoying myself because I was alone with God when He suddenly told me to stop. I stopped, and when I looked at the ground, I realised that something unusual was right across my path. The object looked like a log of wood, and I thought that some people had come into the bush, cut some trees down, and didn't carry all the logs with them. However, it suddenly looked as if the log of wood was moving. When I looked more closely, I realised it was a huge python. Immediately the python saw that I had seen it, it raised its head to attack me. Of course, now that I had already seen it, I moved back a bit, and as I turned to look towards my right, I saw a big rock. The rock had already been positioned there by God, and I used it to kill the python. God mercifully provided that big rock in that position even before I went through that path that night. I pray that the Almighty God will supply all the help you need before you even realise you need it, in Jesus' name.

Before Samson was attacked by over 1,000 Philistines in Judges 15:14-15, God prepared the jawbone of an ass and placed it in a place where his hand could easily reach it. In Numbers 20:1-11, before the Israelites got to the desert, He had provided the rock from which they would get water. Beloved, God has already provided the solution to every problem you can ever encounter. He is too merciful to let you get to a stage where there will be no solution to the challenges you face. If you are currently burdened by a problem, you don't have to worry; turn to Him and ask Him to open your eyes to see the solution He has already provided. I pray that you will emerge victorious over all obstacles, in Jesus' name. 

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please open my eyes to see the solutions You have provided to every challenge that comes my way, in Jesus' name.

HYMN: 27 WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS 

1 What a friend we have in Jesus,

all our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear,

all because we do not carry

everything to God in prayer!

2 Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged;

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Can we find a friend so faithful

who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness;

take it to the Lord in prayer!

3 Are we weak and heavy laden,

cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, still our refuge--

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Do your friends despise, forsake you?

Take it to the Lord in prayer!

In his arms he'll take and shield you;

you will find a solace there.

DATE: THURSDAY FEBRUARY 26TH 2026

TOPIC: HE KNOWS WHAT TO DO

MEMORISE:

The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. - (Psalm 34:17)

BIBLE READING: JOHN 6:5-13 (KJV)

5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,

9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.

MESSAGE:

In (2 Kings 5:9-14), when Naaman went to Elisha, desiring to get healed of his leprosy, he expected the prophet to come out and lay his hands on him. He had an expectation of how the prophet would attend to him, but God had something else in mind, and if he had not followed Elisha's instructions, he would have remained a leper. Likewise, in today's Bible reading, Jesus looked up and saw the crowd that had come to Him to listen to His teachings. He knew they must have been hungry, so He called His disciples and asked where they could get food for them. As He asked them, the Bible says that He already knew what He would do.

Beloved, I have good news for you: God already knows how He will solve any problems you might be encountering. One of my sons once said, "Before your problem started, God already had a solution. He created the solution even before the problem showed up." God has a solution for every problem, even before they start. I pray that God will show you the solution to every mountain that might be challenging you and your family, in Jesus' name.

The Lord knows what to do to meet all your needs. In our Bible reading, He fed more than five thousand people with five loaves of bread and two small fishes, and there were twelve baskets of leftovers remaining. Somebody may ask, "Where did all that bread come from?" My answer is that it came from Him because He is the bread of life. He just kept creating more bread as the disciples were distributing the five loaves He broke at the beginning. In the name of the One who called me, you will have more than is sufficient before this year runs out.

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

Psalm 90:1-2

The Scripture above tells us that the Almighty God has been in existence from generation to generation, ever before the mountains were brought forth. He knows the foundation of all mountains; therefore, He can move any mountain. God knows exactly what to do to solve all problems, so call on Him to help you surmount whatever problem you might be facing. Trust in the One who is all-knowing and all-powerful, and you will surely overcome. 

KEY POINT:

God knows how to solve all problems. Put your complete trust in Him. 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E A ADEBOYE 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: DEUTERONOMY 16-19

HYMN: 30 WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD 

1 When we walk with the Lord

in the light of his word,

what a glory he sheds on our way!

While we do his good will,

he abides with us still,

and with all who will trust and obey.

Refrain:

Trust and obey, for there's no other way

to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

2 Not a burden we bear,

not a sorrow we share,

but our toil he doth richly repay;

not a grief or a loss,

not a frown or a cross,

but is blest if we trust and obey. 

3 But we never can prove

the delights of his love

until all on the altar we lay;

for the favor he shows,

for the joy he bestows,

are for them who will trust and obey. 

4 Then in fellowship sweet

we will sit at his feet,

or we'll walk by his side in the way;

what he says we will do,

where he sends we will go;

never fear, only trust and obey.

DATE: WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 25TH 2026

TOPIC: THE UNLIMITED GOD VII

MEMORISE:

And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. - (Exodus 3:14)

BIBLE READING: DANIEL 7:13-14 (KJV)

13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

MESSAGE:

I will conclude my discussion on the Unlimited God today by telling you about an incident that happened in 1983 when we were about to hold the first-ever RCCG Annual Convention in Redemption City. The city, which we called Redemption Camp back then, was a jungle, and we were just trying to erect some structures when suddenly, a flock of tiny birds came in their hundreds of thousands and covered every tree around us. Within a day, they had eaten all the leaves on the trees and messed the whole place with their faeces, creating an awful stench. The birds were so tiny, and we didn't know how to get rid of them. When I told God about the issue, He said, "Leave it to Me." Shortly after, dozens of mighty eagles came from nowhere and started killing and eating the birds. After a few hours, none of the little birds remained, and the eagles flew away. I decree that God will send help to you from places you least expect, in Jesus' name.

When we wanted to start a church in Israel, I told one of the ambassadors to the country about our intention. On hearing this, he laughed and said, "Everybody knows that America is best friends with Israel, yet the government of Israel has told America, 'Since you're a Christian country, you can have your diverse denominations, but we don't want to hear anything about Pentecostals in our country.' If they said that to America, and you are coming from Nigeria of all places, what are the chances that they'll allow you to set up a branch of your church in their country?" I told him that my case would be different. Being a diplomat, he immediately took a diplomatic approach with me and asked what I wanted him to do for me, as he could clearly see that I was determined to go ahead with the application. I asked him to help me submit an application letter to the government, and he did. Six months later, we were registered. Our God is unlimited in influence and authority; He can bypass government decrees and policies for your sake.

Beloved, if you are faced with challenges that seem insurmountable, just remember that you serve a God who made a way through the Red Sea for the Israelites to pass through (Exodus 14:21-22). Call on Him in faith today, and He will remove all obstacles hindering your progress and grant you victory on all sides. 

PRAYER POINT:

Unlimited Father, please take away every limitation that has kept me from enjoying Your fullness, in Jesus' name.

DATE: TUESDAY FEBRUARY 24TH 2026

TOPIC: THE UNLIMITED GOD VI

MEMORISE:

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. - (1 Peter 5:7)

BIBLE READING: 2 KINGS 4:1-7 (KJV)

1 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.

2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.

3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

5 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.

6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.

MESSAGE:

Today, I will discuss God's unlimited capacity to meet all your needs with His unlimited resources. The Bible is filled with many accounts that show that God is unlimited when it comes to supplying the needs of His children, and today's Bible reading is one of such accounts. The widow of a man of God was in a really terrible situation because she was in a lot of debt, and her creditors had come to take her two sons as slaves to pay it off. Thankfully, the woman ran to Elisha to tell him about her ordeal. By running to the man of God, she invited the Unlimited God into her situation, and not only did He meet her immediate needs, He also provided for her future needs.

Beloved, God is not limited by what you have or do not have to provide for your needs. He is not limited by who you know or do not know to supply the resources you need. His resources are unlimited, so unlimited that He can wipe out all the debt you might be owing in one day, no matter how huge they are. He is Jehovah El-Shaddai, which some Bible scholars translate as 'The Mother's Breast'. In a mother's breast, there is enough milk for her babies to feed. God is unlimited, and He can supply whatever you need. Some Bible scholars have also said that when Jesus said, "If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it," in John 14:14, He was actually saying, "If you ask for something that I haven't created already, I will create it for you." That is how unlimited our God is.

In John 1:1-3, the Bible says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." Because God made all things, He owns all things, and because He owns all things, He can use anything He deems fit to ensure that your needs are met. Never doubt that God cares for you. If He ensures that the birds of the air don't lack what to eat daily (Matthew 6:25-26), then He will abundantly supply your needs. Put all your trust in the Unlimited God; He is more than able to supply all your needs according to His unlimited riches (Philippians 4:19). 

KEY POINT:

The Unlimited God truly cares for you, and He has more than enough to meet your needs.

HYMNAL:  27 WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS 

1 What a friend we have in Jesus,

all our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear,

all because we do not carry

everything to God in prayer!

2 Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged;

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Can we find a friend so faithful

who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness;

take it to the Lord in prayer!

3 Are we weak and heavy laden,

cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, still our refuge--

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Do your friends despise, forsake you?

Take it to the Lord in prayer!

In his arms he'll take and shield you;

you will find a solace there.
