ZadokWCI: Sunday Recap

Teach Us | February 8, 2026

Class is now in session!  

This week, the church was a classroom and we got schooled. 

This message taught us that God didn’t just give us days, He chose them.

Apostle gave a masterclass on being teachable and dropped revelation that has forever shifted the meaning of our  “day to day”.

So tap in and take notes.

“Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.” Psalms 90:1-2 (NKJV)

Psalms 90 reminds us that God is our dwelling place. 

“Before there was a calendar, and a clock, and a crisis, there was God.”  —MGLewisJr 

When we begin to understand that God is eternal, we won’t fold so easily over the temporary. He already has the answer before we ever experience the crisis. 

“So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalms 90:12 (NKJV)

“Sometimes before God changes our circumstances, He has to transform our consciousness first.” —MGLewisJr

Before God can expand anything in your life, He has to expand your understanding. When you pray for God to teach you, you’re asking Him to correct, stretch, and mature you—to show you where you’re missing it. 

You cannot get to the next place if you’re unteachable. The tension here though is that sometimes we want elevation without education. Because of what we have experienced, we don’t always want to take the time to learn. But ponder this for a moment: how educated are you on what you’re asking God for?

Believers who say “teach me” are candidates for growth. Just pause here for a moment and say to yourself: Lord, teach me! 

You have to let God teach you who He made you to be. Others can tell you who you are all day long, but real identity only comes when God schools you on it personally.

Learning in God is not like learning in academia. In an academic setting, you have to learn the material even if you don’t want to. In God, you need a teachable spirit to grasp it. It’s one thing to listen to teaching, but it’s another to have a teachable spirit.

Consider that maybe the trial hasn’t ended because you haven’t learned the lesson. Maybe the pressure hasn’t lifted because the lesson hasn’t landed. 

“Sometimes God will let the test linger until the lesson is locked in.” –MGLewisJr

Psalms 119 is full of “teach me” language.

“Blessed are You, O Lord! Teach me Your statutes.” Psalms 119:12 (NKJV)

Though God is the Master orchestrator of blessing, in this moment what David needs is instruction.

“I have declared my ways, and You answered me; Teach me Your statutes.” Psalms 119:26 (NKJV)

Transparency invites instructions.

Remember that note about being teachable? Lean in right here to see this modeled in scripture.

“Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”” Luke 11:1 (NKJV)

This text is often read with the misconception that the disciples did not already know how to pray. They did.  But their proximity to Jesus exposed a gap in their understanding. They understood that their level of prayer needed to shift because they were walking with Jesus. 

The closer you get to God, the more He reveals the gaps in your understanding. Maturity says. “I know how to do it, but teach me again.” You can’t be gifted and uncorrectable. You will never grow in your gift if you believe you already know it all. 

Proximity demands a pivot. If you’re going to walk with Him, you have to be willing to be schooled by Him.

“Unteachable pride will block teachable grace.” —MGLewisJr  

When you allow God to teach you, you surrender your schedule, your emotions, and your habits. 

“So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalms 90:12 (NKJV)

When we return to Psalm 90:12, we see "numbering our days" in a new light. This isn't about counting down to death; it's about valuing the days we have left.

“You can’t waste days and expect to fulfill destiny.” —MGLewisJr 

You can’t fulfill destiny by wasting time, because God can’t bless what we’re not prepared for. 

God is so invested in our days that He numbered them before we lived them. 

He ordered them before we saw them. 

He filled them with purpose before we understood them. 

God could have created everything in a moment, but he chose days. Why?

He was modeling a rhythm, an order, a rest, and a process. He was so intentional that He chose seven days. Seven is a prime number, divisible only by 1 and itself. It doesn’t break down evenly, it stands alone. Seven cannot be split. Neither can God’s order. 

“Therefore know this day, and consider it in your heart, that the Lord Himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.”

Deuteronomy 4:39 (NKJV)

He chose seven to establish that nothing can disrupt what He created. 

“God doesn’t just write history, He frames it from start to finish.” —MGLewisJr 

God is coming for your days.

“Give us this day our daily bread.” Matthew 6:11 (NKJV)

The text says daily bread—not next week, next month, or next year bread. This means that something is supposed to be allocated each day. What have you missed? Where have you become malnourished? If you’re still “hungry” it’s not because God didn’t serve it. Daily bread means daily dependency. 

“Grace is fresh, mercy is new, but bread is daily.” —MGLewisJr 

“Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.”

Lamentations 3:22-23 (NKJV)

Again, scripture is emphasizing a daily dispensation. A fresh supply of mercy is waiting for you every morning. If you’re frustrated in your freedom, it might be because you're rushing through your days. 

Rushing to get to your tomorrow doesn’t actually get you ahead. It just makes you miss what God is doing now. You have to let Him do what he wants to do for you today, because you’ll never see this exact day again.

You have to learn something about who God has called you to be every single day. 

Pause right here and declare this to yourself: I am getting ready to get involved in my days. 

If we’re honest, sometimes we become so busy living, working, and tasking in the day that we’re not growing enough—because we neglect our daily bread.

 “My times are in Your hand…” Psalms 31:15 (NKJV)

If your time is in God’s hands, your day is never random. 

“Destiny is not customized, it’s uncovered.” —MGLewisJr

When does this uncovering happen? 

One day at a time.

One decision at a time.

One surrender at a time. 

One moment at a time. 

Once you realize your days are ordered by Him, it changes how you label your experiences. We have to stop letting a difficult moment dominate the entire calendar.

If the day belongs to God, how can it be "bad"? There’s no such thing as a bad day. God doesn't create anything bad—He looked at everything He made and called it good. So, if He created the day, the day itself is not bad.

We have to learn to separate the event from the day. You might have a bad experience, conversation, or encounter, but that doesn't make it a "bad day." 

The enemy can influence what happens in the day, but he has no power to create the day itself. He may disturb moments, but he cannot author time. Don't give the enemy credit for a day that still belongs to God.

This is a good time to decide that you won’t have a bad day ever again! 

When God decided you, the next thing He gave you was days—enough days for you to become who He created you to be. 

So there are no bad days. Why?

Because as long as you have a day, you still have a destiny. 

But to reach that destiny, you have to stop letting your days be hijacked.

Remember Maxine Waters’ phrase, “I’m reclaiming my time.” It was absolute authority. She refused to be interrupted; she refused to let her allotted space be misused or talked over.

This phrase became a cultural anthem because it tapped into a universal truth that you have the right to take back control of your moment.

Spiritually, we have to apply that same energy. We aren’t just reclaiming “time”—time is abstract. We are reclaiming our days, because a day is personal.

From this day forward, refuse to let distraction waste your day.

Don’t let depression dabble in your day.

Don’t let regret divide your day.

Don’t let the enemy narrate your day.

Reclaiming your day is about taking your mind, your focus, and your authority back. 

“This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.” —Psalms 118:24 (NKJV)

Notice the rejoicing isn’t over “time” in general; it’s over the day. It’s what you do with the day that makes the day different. There is a purpose in every day that God has orchestrated. So it’s not what happens in the day that causes a problem; it’s how you see it.

Apostle ended this masterclass with a declaration that should change your entire perspective:

“The remainder of your days will be teaching lessons. It won’t be a day of the week, but a classroom session.” —MGLewisJr

From this day forward, no matter what arises in the day, don’t complain about how you feel, ask what the lesson is.

At the end of every day—even if it didn’t end the way you wanted it to—get before God and ask, “What’s my homework?”

Lock in the lesson.

Class dismissed.
