2026 LENTEN MEDITATION Day 17

2026 LENTEN MEDITATION Anglican Diocese of Ijebu (͎I͎n͎ ͎C͎o͎m͎m͎e͎m͎o͎r͎a͎t͎i͎o͎n͎ ͎o͎f͎ ͎t͎h͎e͎ ͎5͎0͎t͎h͎ ͎A͎n͎n͎i͎v͎e͎r͎s͎a͎r͎y͎ ͎o͎f͎ ͎t͎h͎e͎ ͎D͎i͎o͎c͎e͎s͎e͎)͎ The season of Lent is once again upon us — a sacred forty-day journey of repentance, reflection, renewal, and deeper communion with our Lord Jesus Christ. As a Diocese, we enter this holy season with grateful hearts, mindful that this year’s Lenten Meditation is particularly significant as it forms part of the Golden Jubilee celebration of the Anglican Diocese of Ijebu. For fifty years, the Lord has sustained His Church in this Diocese. He has preserved, strengthened, expanded, and established His vineyard among us. Therefore, this year’s Lenten Meditation is not only a time of personal spiritual retreat but also a moment of corporate thanksgiving, rededication, and recommitment to the mission of Christ. Lent calls us to: Return to the Lord with sincere hearts (Joel 2:12–13) Examine our walk with God (2 Corinthians 13:5) Take up our cross daily (Luke 9:23) Seek renewal through prayer and fasting (Matthew 6:16–18) As we commemorate 50 years of God’s faithfulness, we are reminded that spiritual growth must accompany numerical growth. Jubilee is not merely a celebration of years, but a celebration of grace, obedience, sacrifice, and enduring faith. Let us therefore approach this sacred season with humility, discipline, and expectation — trusting that the same God who began this good work in the Diocese will perfect it for generations yet unborn. DAY 17, Monday, 9th March, 2026 Ministering: Revd Gbenga Awolalu Topic: Be in control of your tongue May this Lenten Meditation deepen our hunger for righteousness, revive our prayer altars, strengthen our commitment to holiness, and align us afresh with God’s divine purpose for the Anglican Diocese of Ijebu. As we journey toward the Cross and ultimately to the joy of the Resurrection, may the Lord renew His Church, empower His servants, and prepare us for greater kingdom exploits in this Jubilee season. Let us walk this Lenten path together — in repentance, in devotion, and in hope. To God be the glory for 50 years of His faithfulness! #IjebuAnglicanDiocese #LentenMeditation2026 #GoldenJubilee #50YearsOfGrace #ReturningToTheLord
