 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD

MONDAY 21ST APRIL, 2025

TEXT: Luke 24:13-32

[13]And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.

[14]And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

[15]And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

[16]But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

[17]And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

[18]And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

[19]And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:

[20]And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

[21]But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

[22]Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;

[23]And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.

[24]And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

[25]Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

[26]Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

[27]And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

[28]And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.

[29]But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.

[30]And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.

[31]And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

[32]And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

TOPIC: ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS

             At times we find ourselves on a short trip but very long as a result of a troubled heart and failed expectations. This road is full of doubts, pains, fears, uncertainties and worries. No one will like to go through such a road but it is inevitable. Cleopas and his friend were on this road together, they were in a confused state but Jesus showed up for them.

       Jesus told them there is a glory and without suffering it is not attainable, he took his time, stopped over at their place, opened the Scripture for them and in a little while, the hopes that were dashed were revived again with courage to face the future ahead. Are you in a confused state, and you are on the road to Emmaus, Pray for Christ to appear in your situation, if he appears , you will experience peace, restore your hope, remove all your fears and gives you courage to face the future.

Prayer: Father appear in my situation, give me hope wherever I have been hopeless and courage to face the future.

Who is your Friend?

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD WEDNESDAY 9TH APRIL, 2025 TEXT: 2 Samuel 13:1-5 [1]And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. [2]And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do any thing to her. [3]But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man. [4]And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king’s son, lean from day to day? Wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister. [5]And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.

Your vision will speak

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD SATURDAY 4TH JANUARY, 2025 TEXT: Habakkuk 2:3 [3]For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. TOPIC: YOUR VISION WILL SPEAK          Vision is time bound. Writing down of vision, planning, setting out to fulfill the goals are all processes that are necessary before vision can become a reality.        Your vision will definitely speak, if only you can wait for it. Great things do not usually happen suddenly. There is a moment to plant, watered and patiently wait for it to germinate. The bigger the vision, the bigger the time it would take to become a reality. Do not give up on your vision , it will speak at the appropriate time. Prayer: Father help me to patiently wait for me vision to become a reality in Jesus name.

The LORD is in his sanctuary (3)

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD SUNDAY 4TH MAY, 2025 TEXT: Habakkuk 2:20 [20]But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him. TOPIC: THE LORD IS IN HIS SANCTUARY (3)            The presence of God makes a difference between a church and any other place. In God’s presence there is peace, deliverance, and fullness of Joy. In the old Testament, men of faith often raise up an altar to symbolize his presence and praise him there. The church is the modern day temple where there are altars set up to meet God. No one can come to God’s presence and return empty handed.          Many a times when people come to church without experiencing a touch, it is because they do not come with expectations of receiving from God. When there is expectations, it shows you have faith that God is in his temple and you are sensitive to his movements by being silence before God. God speaks right from the beginning of the Church s...
