JEREMIAH 23:1-3
" Woe be unto the pastors that
destroy and scatter the sheep
of my pasture! Saith the LORD.
Therefore thus saith the LORD
God of Is'-ra-el against the
pastors that feed my people;
Ye have scattered my flock,
and driven them away, and
have not visited them: behold,
I will visit upon you the evil of
your doings, saith the LORD."
And I will gather the remnant
of my flock out of all countries
whither I have driven them, and
will bring them again to their
folds; and they shall be fruitful
and increase. "
God, the Father of all people
calls us to care. He cares about
everyone of us. " Are not two
sparrows sold for a farthing?
and one of them shall not fall
on the ground without your
Father "( Matt. 10:29 ) " Fear
ye not therefore, ye are of more
value than many sparrows." (Vs 31)
We assume that most christians
have innate & inherent care for
other people. This isn't always
the case. The shephered is
called to care for the flock, not
to scatter them. The book of
Jeremiah chapter 23 helps us
to know that God cares about
the remnants. As our heavenly
Father cares for us, we are
called to care for other people.
PEACE !!
COLOSSIANS 4:5-6
" Walk in wisdom toward
those who are outside,
redeeming the time. Let
your speech always be
with grace, seasoned with
salt, that you may know
how you ought to answer
each one ".
It is important to act with
wisdom when dealing with
People outside the
household of faith. Our
actions must reflect the
character of Christ. As
you interact with non -
christians, share the
gospel with showing
love & conducting your
affairs in ways that
reflect Christ. Let your
word be kind, flavorful-
engaging, and gracious.
Let your responses to
questions be in
alignment with wisdom
& grace. May God bless
you IJN,AMEN.
LUKE 2:10-12
" But the angel said to them,
" Do not be afraid. I bring you
good news that will cause
great joy for all the people.
Today in the town of David a
savior has been born to you;
he is the Messiah, the Lord.
This will be a sign to you :
You will find a baby wrapped
in cloths and lying in a
manger. "
The birth of Jesus is the gift
of God the Father out of His
love for the world. It is the
good news that brings great
Joy for humanity. Now is the
time of the year to celebrate
the birth of our Lord and
King. As you celebrate our
Savior, lift up His name
higher, higher & higher and
give Him all the glory and
honor for He is worthy to
be praised !
PROVERBS 9:9-10
" Give instruction to a wise
man, and he will be yet wiser:
teach a just man, and he will
increase in learning.
The fear of the Lord is the
beginning of wisdom: and the
knowledge of the holy is
understanding".
If we desire to have wisdom,
our first step is to have a personal
relationship with God. When
we acknowledge the authority
of God & submit to His leadership
and guidance, it leads us to live
more wisely and righteously.
Are we willing to receive
instruction and correction so
that we could grow wiser?
To know God transforms our
values & decision-making ability
giving us the power to navigate
life's complexities with divine
guidance. Have a wonderful month
of November!
HEBREWS 4:12
" For the word of God is quick,
and powerful, and sharper than
any two edged sword, piercing
even to the dividing asunder
of soul and spirit, and of the
joints and marrow, and is a
discerner of the thoughts and
intents of the heart."
The Word of God is the ultimate
truth and has authority over all
areas of life. It provides guidance,
wisdom, and correction. The
Word of God has creative &
transformative power. God
reveals himself primarily to
humanity through his word-
His character, His purposes,
and His plan for salvation.
Glory be to God Almighty!

times of need, as believers,
God comes to our rescue. He
is our shield and buckler and

lent shall be condemned. Let
us give God all the glory,
praises & adoration in Jesus

" Remember, LORD, your great
mercy and love, for they
are from old.
Do not remember the sins
of my youth and my
rebellious ways;
according to your love
remember me, for you,

God, the Father, is a God of
mercies. He said in His word

Hebrews 11:1-2
" Now faith is confidence in what
we hope for and assurance about
what we do not see.
This is what the ancients were
commended for."
Be mindful of the fact that not all faith
pleases God & without faith, it is impo-
ssible to please God (Heb 1:6). Your
faith must be strong and sound. Do not
have faith in your own faith for" faith in
faith is faith astray". ​​​​​​May your faith in
Year 2024 be the kind of faith that pleases
God in Jesus name, amen.

to Jer-e mi'-ah, saying,

them, human beings that you care for them?
You have made them a little lower than the
angels and crowned them with glor​​​​​​y and
honor. You made them rulers over the works

feet : ".
God has created man and have given him
the power to rule over his creations. From
