Daily devotion – After Easter 2026.
Pressing Forward After the Resurrection
We have gathered in the Olive Garden and, in our hearts, travelled back to Gethsemane—witnessing our Lord in His great prayer of submission. From there, we followed the path to His trial, His humiliation, His scourging, and ultimately His crucifixion… His death.
Then Sunday came.
We awoke to the glorious truth—Jesus Christ has risen from the dead! Our sins are removed, salvation has been secured, all by the love of God and His amazing grace.
Now, as His disciples, everything has changed. We are no longer under the control of Satan, no longer under condemnation. We have been set free—and with that freedom comes purpose. We now go into the world to fulfill the Great Commission, declaring what Christ has done for us.
As we begin this week after Easter, something within us has shifted. We no longer need to be compelled to pray, nor driven to the Word, nor forced into obedience. No—these things now flow from a heart that has truly tasted the love and goodness of God. Having experienced His grace, we now walk in His peace.
And this Wednesday, we have the opportunity once again to gather as His Church—to sit under the teaching of God’s Word and to pray together.
We know deep within our hearts that Christ is coming soon. He will call His Church home, and we will meet Him in the air, reunited with all the saints who have gone before us into glory.
Let us not regress in our walk with the Lord. Let us not drift or grow complacent. Instead, let us seize every opportunity set before us. Let us walk boldly through the doors that God, by His power, has opened—serving Him faithfully and reaching lost souls with the gospel.
For the believer, there is only one direction: forward. We are to grow, to mature, to press on. To turn back is to fall into spiritual decline—to neglect prayer, to ignore God’s goodness, and to be drawn once again into living for self rather than for Him.
But His Kingdom is coming.
The rapture is one year closer. Heaven is one day nearer.
So let us not look back—but upward. Watching. Praying. Waiting.
“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” — Luke 9:62
Join us this Wednesday as we return to the Book of Acts, continuing from chapter 19:8 through to chapter 20.
I have never been more driven, more hungry, to be in Christ’s service than now – our time is short let us not waste it, see you Wednesday and this coming Sunday as His Church does what its been doing since the Church were…. continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
Act 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
