EUPHORIA Devotional (The spirit of joy, an ecstasy that comes from God) September 8, 2026 LOVED BY LOVE AROME E. TOKULA 2 Samuel 9:6-7 (MSG) 6 When Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan (who was the son of Saul), came before David, he bowed deeply, abasing himself, honoring David. DAVID SPOKE HIS NAME: "MEPHIBOSHETH." "Yes sir?" (7) "DON'T BE FRIGHTENED," said David. "I'D LIKE TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL for you IN MEMORY of your father Jonathan. To begin with, I'm returning to you all the properties of your grandfather Saul. FURTHERMORE, FROM NOW ON YOU'LL TAKE ALL YOUR MEALS AT MY TABLE." God doesn’t love us because we are perfect! He loves us because of Who He is. 1 John 4:8 says, “He who does not love does not know God, FOR GOD IS LOVE.” Regardless of which doctrinal divide any believer belongs to, if he/she doesn’t know that God is sheer love, beauty, and goodness, that person doesn’t know the reality of Who God is and that person will struggle to enjoy God’s blessing! The story of David and Mephibosheth illustrates God's unconditional love! After David became King, in his graciousness he restored everything that belonged to the House of Saul to Mephibosheth – the grandson of King Saul. He called him by his name and lifted him from Lo Debar (which means a pasture less land) to sit at the table of royalty with him (2 Samuel 9:5). This is exactly what the Father did for us in Christ Jesus when He raised us to sit together with Him in heavenly places and restore to us whatever we have lost due to sin (Ephesians 2:6). David didn’t give Mephibosheth a place on his table because he was perfect. After all, he was a cripple! His place on the table was because of the covenant of love between his father – Jonathan and David! 2 Samuel 9:13 says, “So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem, for he ate continually at the KING'S TABLE. And he was LAME IN BOTH HIS FEET.” This is a picture of the believer invited to the Father’s table despite the flaws and shortcomings. Song of Songs 2:4 says, “He brought me to the banqueting house, and HIS BANNER over me WAS LOVE.” On this banqueting table that God has brought us in Christ, His eyes are upon us beaming with love and kindness! We rejoice today because there is a table where men with ‘lame feet' can sit, eat, and enjoy the favor of God! This table is called ‘In Christ Jesus.’ Love has lifted us to His table and we can enjoy and experience the mercy and the kindness of God unconditionally. Nothing can disqualify us because we are in this family of God! Like Mephibosheth, it is time to stop focusing on your ‘lame feet,’ and start focusing on the table loaded with opportunities, favor, increase, abundance, healing, etc. Never forget that Love (God) loves you because of Jesus! DECLARE Thank you, Father, for your love. Thank you, Lord, for receiving me unconditionally. Your love is restoring everything in my life. There are no losses in my path. I see myself as You see me. I’m living a blessed full life because Love indeed loves me and that is what matters most in Jesus’ name. PONDER Love has lifted us to His table and we can enjoy and experience the mercy and the kindness of God unconditionally. #IOFWithPastorArome #MorningDevotion #Euphoria #Devotional #September #NewBeginnings #2026RevelationAndUprise

EUPHORIA Devotional (The spirit of joy, an ecstasy that comes from God) September 7, 2026 HARD-WORKING HANDS AROME E. TOKULA Proverbs 12:24 (TPT) 24 If you want to REIGN IN LIFE, don’t sit on your hands. Instead, WORK HARD at doing what’s right, for the slacker will end up working to make someone else succeed. Deuteronomy 8:18 says, “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who GIVES you POWER to get WEALTH ...” Did you notice that God gives us the power to ‘get’ – not eat – wealth? The blessing of God is for producing wealth, not consuming wealth because you don’t need power to consume wealth. God doesn’t just want you rich, He wants you wealthy! As a child of God, you must begin to think in terms of _wealth_ and not just _riches_. While rich people think about money, wealthy people think about assets. And the way to acquire assets is through diligent engagement in God-given systems, guided by the wisdom of God. For God’s creative power is unleashed through our hands. Our hands represent our God-given creative ability. Until a believer realizes that he/she has been blessed to work and sees work as a beautiful thing, that believer will not find freedom from poverty and lack. Truth is, we are too blessed to allow laziness to ruin our lives. Our text says, “… the SLACKER will end up WORKING to make SOMEONE ELSE SUCCEED.” That can never be your lot in Jesus name. God created Adam and Eve, blessed them (Genesis 1:28) and put them in the garden to work because work is a thing of virtue. Genesis 2:15 (TPT) says, “Yahweh-God took the man and placed him in the GARDEN OF EDEN to WORK and WATCH over it.” God didn’t put the man He blessed in the Garden to just eat the fruits, He put the man in the garden to work and watch (or steward) it. The Hebrew word for ‘work’ is ‘abad’ which can also mean “worship.” Every child of God must see his/her work as a service to God and as an act of worship. This is the mindset which Apostle Paul describes in Colossians 3:23-24, “And WHATEVER you DO, do it heartily, AS TO THE LORD and not to men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will RECEIVE the REWARD OF THE INHERITANCE; for you SERVE the Lord Christ.” It was said concerning Jesus in Mark 6:3, “Is this not the CARPENTER…” because Jesus the son of God was a handyman in His earth walk. The Greek word ‘tekton’ can be translated as “carpenter,” “metal worker,” “sculptor,” “artisan,” “stone worker,” or “builder.” So, whether you’re a pastor, construction worker, primary school teacher, entrepreneur, or stay-at-home mom, work is rooted in God’s good creation, and the purpose is to reflect His glory. Don’t be lazy because those who work hard and do not sit on their hands will reign! DECLARE I boldly declare that the unique and creative abilities of God are expressed through my hands in all that I do today. God has blessed and equipped me with everything that I need to get wealth as I bring glory to His name. I am not lazy; I am a blessed, diligent and hard-working person who brings glory to the Father. PONDER The blessing of God is for producing wealth, not consuming wealth because you don’t need power to consume wealth. #IOFWithPastorArome #MorningDevotion #Euphoria #Devotional #September #NewBeginnings #2026RevelationAndUprise

EUPHORIA Devotional (The spirit of joy, an ecstasy that comes from God) September 5, 2026 WITHOUT THE SCARS AROME E. TOKULA Romans 4:8 (TPT) 8 What happy progress comes to them when they hear the Lord speak over them, “I will NEVER HOLD YOUR SINS AGAINST YOU!” What makes the New Testament distinctly different from the Old Testament is the complete and perfect forgiveness of our sins. The early church understood this central truth and Apostle Paul could boldly declare it without fear while preaching in Antioch in Acts 13:32, 38 that, “… through this Man is preached to you the FORGIVENESS OF SINS.” No religion, including Judaism, preaches the perfect forgiveness of sins. They all preach the consequences and ‘scars’ that come with sins. Even among believers you still hear some ministers say, “God will forgive but the scar of sins, mistakes, habits and wrongdoings can remain for a long time.” Nothing can be further from the truth! Understand that under the Law of Moses God told the people in Exodus 34:6-7, “6 … The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, 7 keeping mercy for thousands, FORGIVING INIQUITY AND TRANSGRESSION and SIN, by no means CLEARING THE GUILTY, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the CHILDREN and the children's children to the third and the fourth generation.” Despite God being gracious, merciful and forgiving, He couldn’t ‘clear the guilty’ because the Law required that the demand of justice be met either by the one who sinned or by another! There were ‘scars’ under the Old Testament and this is the reason there were generational curses! In Christ Jesus, there are only generational blessings to the one who believes. When Apostle Paul preached in Antioch, he declared in Acts 13:39, “He ACCOMPLISHES, in those WHO BELIEVE, EVERYTHING that the Law of Moses COULD NEVER MAKE GOOD ON. But everyone who BELIEVES in this raised-up Jesus is declared good and right and whole before God.” What the Old Testament couldn’t ‘accomplish’ that the New Testament accomplished was the clause in Exodus 34:7 that says, “… by no means CLEARING the guilty…” In Christ Jesus, the guilty are cleared! Sins are forgiven without any after-effects! Only Jesus carried the eternal consequences for sin and only through Him are men offered perfect forgiveness without scars! Our text says that, “… HAPPY PROGRESS comes to people when they HEAR GOD that He will never hold sins against them.” This is the message that works! Receive it, hear it, and boldly share it because lives are radically changed and transformed in the name of Jesus! DECLARE: Thank You Father for the perfect forgiveness of my sins that You have offered me in Christ Jesus. I fully embrace this message of unconditional love and I freely share it with others because it is something worth shouting about. PONDER Only Jesus carried the eternal consequences for sin and only through Him are men offered perfect forgiveness! #IOFWithPastorArome #MorningDevotion #Euphoria #Devotional #September #NewBeginnings #2026RevelationAndUprise

EUPHORIA Devotional (The spirit of joy, an ecstasy that comes from God) September 4, 2026 KEEP MOVING THROUGH IT! AROME E. TOKULA Psalms 23:4 4 Yea, though I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, I will fear no evil; for YOU ARE WITH ME; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. As a child of God, you need to understand that there will be tough times. Jesus taught us to build our lives on the solid rock of His Word. Matthew 7:24-25 says, “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: AND THE RAIN DESCENDED, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.” The reason for hearing and doing the Word isn’t to keep the storms and winds away but to keep you through the storms! Trials, difficult times, and life’s challenges of many kinds are sure to come whether you are a believer or not, but it doesn’t change the fact that you are born an overcomer as you stand upon the Word! While there are things that Jesus has suffered on your behalf by way of substitution on the cross such as sin, sickness, poverty, demonic oppression, etc. (and there is absolutely no reason to suffer those things again or pay a price to have them), there are things that He (Jesus) suffered by example from which we can learn. 1 Peter 2:21-23 says, “For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, LEAVING US AN EXAMPLE, that you should FOLLOW HIS STEPS: "Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth" who, WHEN HE WAS REVILED, DID NOT REVILE IN RETURN; when HE SUFFERED, HE DID NOT THREATEN, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously;” Every trial and difficult season is a test of your faith, but the good news is that God has faith in your faith because it is built on an unshakeable foundation. 1 Corinthians 10:13 (TPT) says, “WE ALL EXPERIENCE TIMES OF TESTING, which is normal for every human being. But God will be faithful to you. He will SCREEN AND FILTER THE SEVERITY, NATURE, and TIMING of every test or trial you face SO THAT YOU CAN BEAR IT. And EACH TEST IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRUST HIM MORE, for along with every trial God has provided for you a way of escape that will bring you out of it victoriously.” The life of faith is not void of problems rather it is a life of victory amid the problems. If you find yourself going through ‘the shadow of death’ moments, don’t throw in the towel by sitting down to complain, murmur, and give up. Keep moving with the Word of God in your heart and on your lips because you are only going ‘through’ it! God is with you, and He believes you can win through that situation because in Christ Jesus you have been born a winner. DECLARE I am a child of God; born from the womb of His Spirit, and I boldly declare that I am more than a conqueror. The greater One lives in me and puts me over every situation or circumstance that life throws at me. I will not quit because the victory is mine and I always win in Jesus' Name. PONDER The life of faith is not void of problems rather it is a life of victory in the midst of the problems. #IOFWithPastorArome #MorningDevotion #Euphoria #Devotional #September #NewBeginnings #2026RevelationAndUprise

EUPHORIA Devotional (The spirit of joy, an ecstasy that comes from God) September 3, 2026 THE WORKS OF LOVE AROME E. TOKULA Galatians 5:6 (TPT) 6 When you’re joined to the Anointed One, circumcision and religious obligations can benefit you nothing. All that matters now is living in the FAITH THAT WORKS and EXPRESSES ITSELF THROUGH LOVE. When it comes to salvation and everything that Jesus has accomplished for us in redemption, there is absolutely nothing we can do to merit it. Ephesians 2:8 says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is THE GIFT OF GOD.” The moment one works for a gift, it loses its status as a gift, and it becomes a wage or a reward. Romans 4:4 (TPT) says, “When people work, they earn wages. It can’t be considered a free gift, because THEY EARNED IT.” Nobody can ever work to earn anything – forgiveness, healing, favor, prosperity, children, etc. – from God, and by “works,” Scripture is referring to self-efforts! The frustration of some believers comes when they try, through moral striving and self-effort, to earn or merit what the grace of God has already freely given, because what grace freely gives, faith must also receive! You need faith to receive, and according to James 2:17, “… faith by itself, if it does not have WORKS, is dead.” The works mentioned here are referring to works or acts of love towards God and people as we receive what God’s grace freely gives! In James 2:21-24, we see the example of Abraham who, through faith, received a child from God in his old age, but it was a beautiful thing that he could still trust God enough to offer that same son, Isaac, as a burnt sacrifice because of how much he loved and trusted God. James 2:23 (TPT) says, “… So he became known as the LOVER of GOD!” Another example of faith working through love is Rahab. James 2:25 (TPT) says, “… she RECEIVED the spies into her home and HELPED them escape from the city by another route.” While you don’t “work” to receive from God, faith that is alive walks in love towards God by honoring His instructions to reach out and be a blessing to others. According to James 2:15-16, when your faith is matched with works of love, it will rise to a whole new dimension because all that matters before the Father is not your religion but your faith lived out in love. Faith in God’s Word always works when expressed with a pure heart of love towards God and people! DECLARE Thank You, Father, for Your unmerited grace shown to me in Christ Jesus. You have given me all things and stirred faith in my heart to receive. My faith in Your Word is alive, and it is backed up by corresponding actions of obedience and a love walk towards God, His Word, and people, in the name of Jesus Christ. PONDER Faith that is alive walks in love towards God by honoring His instructions to reach out and be a blessing to others. #IOFWithPastorArome #MorningDevotion #Euphoria #Devotional #September #NewBeginnings #2026RevelationAndUprise

EUPHORIA Devotional (The spirit of joy, an ecstasy that comes from God) September 2, 2026 YOU’RE ACCEPTED IN CHRIST JESUS AROME E. TOKULA Ephesians 1:6 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us ACCEPTED in the BELOVED. Becoming born again is more than a change of lifestyle; it is a spiritual rebirth of one’s human spirit. Jesus said in John 3:6, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the SPIRIT is spirit.” Every child of God is born from the womb of God’s Spirit with the very life of God! This is why it is preposterous to think that a believer can be cursed because you aren’t ordinary! The blessing of God is upon your life! The Bible says in Ephesians 1:3, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, WHO HAS BLESSED US with EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING in the heavenly places in Christ.” This means you have been called to live a blessed life in Christ Jesus. It means you have been empowered to prosper, excel and do well in all that God has purposed for you to do. Apostle Paul’s letter to the Ephesians explains what this blessing means for the believer which includes being God’s choice (Ephesians 1:4), being predestined (Ephesians 1:5) and divine acceptance (Ephesians 1:6). These three are the nucleus of the blessing! In Christ Jesus, we are accepted by God! The word translated ‘accepted’ is from the Greek ‘charitoo’ which means ‘to grace someone,’ i.e., ‘to be highly favoured.’ It means that in Christ Jesus all of heaven is favorably disposed towards the child of God! The first mention of the word ‘accepted’ in the New Testament is Mary’s encounter with the angel of God that led to the birth of Jesus as recorded in Luke 1:26-30. Luke 1:28 says, “And having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, HIGHLY FAVOURED ONE, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!" When the angel declared, “… highly favoured one…” he was saying, “You are the accepted one!” Literally, Mary whose name means “bitter” or their rebellion was going to birth the savior of the world because God accepted her! Out of rebellion and bitterness, salvation has come! Regardless of the bitter experience(s) you might have had, there is no telling what God can birth through you because you are favored in Christ Jesus! It is the favor and acceptance of God that turns and changes people’s stories! In Christ Jesus, the favor of God replaces sweat with sweetness and according to our text, you have been accepted in Christ Jesus! Rejoice because the favor of God has made your life sweet in Jesus' name! DECLARE I am chosen and loved by the Father and it doesn’t matter what happens, I am super happy that I am accepted, loved and favoured because of Christ Jesus. I know that my life can never be the same again because great things are happening in and through me in Jesus' name. PONDER In Christ Jesus all of heaven is favorably disposed towards the child of God! #IOFWithPastorArome #MorningDevotion #Euphoria #Devotional #September #NewBeginnings #2026RevelationAndUprise

EUPHORIA Devotional (The spirit of joy, an ecstasy that comes from God) September 1, 2026 LIVING IN THE GOD CLASS AROME E. TOKULA John 20:17 17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to MY FATHER AND YOUR FATHER, to MY GOD AND YOUR GOD.’” Did you know that the day you heard and believed the finished work of Jesus and confessed Him as your Lord and Savior, you were brought up into God's class? It was a spiritual upgrade! Today Jesus’ Father is your Father. His God is your God and He doesn’t love Jesus more than He loves you! When you allow this reality to sink into your consciousness, the Words of Jesus will come alive in you, and you will live, and talk like Him. He boldly declared in John 10:30, “I and My Father are one.” Do you know that like Jesus, you can also say boldly, “I and My Father are one!” because God is your father too! Now that you’ve been brought into God's class, it is important you function like God while here on earth. Like Jesus, you have authority to speak to waves and storms and they will obey you! While it is true that you are Jesus’ disciple, you are first His brother and friend. Hebrews 2:11 (NLT) says, “So NOW Jesus and the ones he makes holy HAVE THE SAME FATHER. That is why Jesus is not ASHAMED to CALL THEM his BROTHERS and SISTERS.” Jesus’ Father is your Father and His very life flows through your veins today! Glory to God! Romans 8:34 (AMP) says, “Who is the one who condemns us? Christ Jesus is the One who died [to pay our penalty], and more than that, WHO WAS RAISED [from the dead], and who is at the RIGHT HAND OF GOD interceding [with the Father] for us also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?” Today, Jesus is at the right of the Father, and you are seated with Him! You are in the same position of authority as God because of Jesus. Ephesians 2:6 says, “And RAISED us up TOGETHER, and MADE US SIT TOGETHER in the HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus” You have been raised from that old mundane life of sin and defeat into God class living. According to our text, when the disciples on resurrection morning met Jesus after He rose from the dead, He said to them to go report to the other disciples and tell them, “… Go instead to my BROTHERS and tell them, ‘I am ascending to MY FATHER AND YOUR FATHER, to MY GOD AND YOUR GOD.’” A few days before He had moved their status from ‘servants’ to ‘friend’ (John 15:15) but after the resurrection He gave them ‘family’ status! Glory to God! There are no limitations to you today, only endless opportunities, a boundless life, divine ideas, and supernatural results. Everything works for you in Jesus name. DECLARE I am a child of God! His life flows through my veins and I am seated with Him in glory all because of what Jesus has done for me. I rule and reign in life over sin, sickness, poverty, death, and defeat because I am the child of the Highest and His life is in me! Glory to God! PONDER Now that you’ve been brought into God's class, it is important you function like God while here on earth. #IOFWithPastorArome #MorningDevotion #Euphoria #Devotional #September #NewBeginnings #2026RevelationAndUprise
