FORGET THE HATERS“...Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.”(1 Samuel 1: 2)That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.Apart from Hannah, Elkanah had another wife named Peninnah who was an adversary of Hannah. Because she had children, she troubled Hannah who didn't have children; she tormented Hannah from a close range; she was a household enemy; she was an enemy operating from within.Peninnah was still there when God gave Hannah a son. Hannah’s adversary was still there, hating and mocking when her story changed for the better. Her hater was around to see her next level. Her hater didn't change location before God intervened; her miracle happened in the presence of her adversary.Friend, are there adversaries operating from a close range around you? Are there colleagues, bosses, employees, neighbours, rivals, partners, etc whose wickedness and hatred for you is coming from close quarters?God says, your adversaries will still be there and your story will change; they will witness your testimonies and breakthroughs, they will hear about your miracles, they will see you rise to the next level, and they will be alive to see that their hatred was a waste of time.Samuel was better than all of Peninnah’s children put together. No mention was ever made of the names of Peninnah’s children, but Samuel continues to ring a bell. God says, you will rise above your haters and adversaries, your portion will be better than theirs, you will walk in places that are higher than they ever attained, and your end shall be a hundred times better than theirs.Don’t pay too much attention to your haters; focus on God from Whom your supply flows. If God be for you, your haters can't stop you.Isaiah 54 vs. 15 says: “Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.”Prayer-Lord, my haters will watch me rise, in Jesus’ name! Amen

A MATTER OF TIME

“And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.”
(1 Samuel 1: 2)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

Elkanah had two wives; Hannah was barren, while Peninnah had children. In the environment where Peninnah had children, Hannah had none. Hannah lacked what someone around her had in abundance; she lacked what her adversary had. She was mocked because of what others had that she did not have.

In a matter of time, Hannah had a son. She initially lacked what others had, but in a matter of time, she got what others had. She seemed left behind, but in a matter of time, she moved forward and made progress. She seemed disadvantaged and forgotten, but in a matter of time, God remembered her.

Friend, you may seem forgotten, disadvantaged, rejected, abandoned, unfortunate, etc, but God says, it’s all a matter of time before your story changes. You may not have what others have at the moment, but God says, in a matter of time, you will have yours. You may not yet have your own job, business, houses, cars, etc, you may even be barren like Hannah at the moment, but God says, in a matter of time, you shall have what you lack.

Hannah didn't have an ordinary child like Peninnah did. She had a child who became famous and played a leading role in Israel. You may not have what others have, but God says, in a matter of time, you shall have what will put you in the news. What you will receive from God will be so outstanding that it will make you famous.

Look beyond what others around you have, and look to God for your own portion. It’s only a matter of time before Jehovah gives more than you asked for.

Prayer: Lord, in a matter of time, I shall have what I lack at the moment, in Jesus’ name! Amen

A PEEP INTO THE FUTURE

“And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah...”
(1 Samuel 1: 2)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

Hannah lived in the dispensation of the law, when grace was yet to be poured out in its fullness. ‘Hannah’ means ‘Grace’. She lived under the law, but her name was ‘Grace’. She was a peep into God's agenda for the future. If one wanted to know what God was planning, one only needed to look into Hannah’s life.

Hannah became a representation of the future that others were yet to see; she was a representation of the next level that others were still praying for and anticipating. Before others got a taste of grace, Hannah already began to enjoy grace; she got it ahead of others; the future of others was her present reality.

Friend, hear God’s prophetic word: you will get your portion ahead of others; before others get to the peak, you will get there; before others hit their target, you would have hit yours; you will get your next level before others get theirs; you will rise higher ahead of others; what others dream about will become your reality; what others hope for in their tomorrow will meet you in your today.

Hannah’s experience of grace was a case of early satisfaction. She didn’t wait for what others waited for. God says, others may wait for long, but you won’t have to wait for so long; others may have their hopes and expectations delayed, but yours will come early; for others, it may be a future, but for you, it shall be your present experience.

Ask God to grant you the grace to be a peep into the future that others are expecting. Ask God to cause the future of others to be your present reality.

Psalm 90 vs. 14 says: “O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.”

Prayer: Lord, may my life be a peep into the future that others are expecting, in Jesus’ name! Amen

People of God praise master Jesus!!!!!

I want to give glory to the God of Elijah we serve on this mountain whose hand is not shorten to save, the awesome God of Elijah delivered me from evil arrow of cancer the enemy shot into my body.

I had a dream where one woman put centipede in my right breast, she pressed it and pus was coming out and the centipede was still there.

When I woke up I prayed and forget about it because they have been trying to inflict me several times with cancer even to my womb but they keep failing. But my spirit disturbed me so much that I didn't even know when I told the man of God.

The man of God fix deliverance for me which was done through WhatsApp tonight, at every prayer points the hand of the Lord moved me uncontrollably that I shouted and will almost fall, my husband was holding me.

At the last prayer points from the man of God which was

"As she types aman and be in spirit, let every deliverance and healing she needs now, begin to take place now in Jesus name

Thank you Jesus, my father and my God, when u are done with her let her come to her kneels to thank you in Jesus name"

I closed my eyes very tightly, I saw very thick green smoke coming out from somewhere I don't know, it was coming out and spreading for it to disappear into the air, I started rolling uncontrollaly, no one could hold me, after sometime I fell on the bed, the power of God immediately moved me very hard on the floor where I remained for some time before getting strength to get up.

I am not taking this for granted, thank you Jesus for your mighty hand upon my life.
Lord I thank u for this deliverance, u r unchangeable, reliable and dependable, u r God all by ur self

GUARD YOUR FRUITS

“Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah...”
(1 Samuel 1: 1)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

Today’s Focal Scripture introduces Elkanah, a man from Ramathaimzophim, which was within the territory of mount Ephraim. Ephraim means ‘double fruit’; Ramathaimzophim means ‘two heights of watchers’, or literally, ‘watchtower’.

In bible times, watchtowers were security posts from where enemy invasion could be sighted. So for there to be an Ephraim, a Ramathaimzophim was necessary. For there to be ‘double fruit’, a watchtower was a major necessity.

Friend, if your ‘double fruit’ will stay secure, your watchtower is a major necessity. There may not be sustained fruitfulness if you do not stand against the enemy's invasion. You may not make much progress in life if you don't arise in spiritual warfare to stand against the enemy's attacks. You may not truly enjoy the exceeding expansion God is bringing your way if you don't repel the satanic arrows being hurled at you.

There might be a pattern of the enemy’s attacks against your fruitfulness in family, marriage, career, business, finances, relationships, etc. Don’t sit back and let him have a free ride in your territory; watch out for his attacks, and stop it when you see it. Don’t be on the defensive; be on the offensive; fight him before he fights you.

As you chase after fruitfulness, never lose sight of the devices of the enemy which wish to plunder your fruits and leave you empty handed. Even if a challenge looks physical, look beyond the physical and fight every spiritual force behind it. Fight for your fruit before you become fruitless.

Remember, if your vine is unprotected, foxes will invade it and make a mess of your efforts. Ask God for wisdom to fight and defend your fruits.

Prayer: Lord, give me wisdom to defend my fruits, in Jesus’ name! Amen

GROW YOUR FAITH

“And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.”
(Mark 10: 52)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

In our Focal Scripture, Jesus told Bartimaeus that his faith had made him whole. By Jesus’ assertion, the faith exhibited by Bartimaeus was the foundation that led to his healing; faith was the connection between Bartimaeus and his healing. Faith connected Bartimaeus to his next level.

Friend, faith is your connection to your next level. Faith is your connection to your divine release; faith is the highway that will take you to the realm of the miraculous; faith is the vehicle that will transport divine benefits to you; faith is the fulcrum that will swing the hand of God in your favour; faith is the open door that will usher you into your next level.

Faith is when you believe God for the impossible and unimaginable; faith is when you stick to heaven’s absolutism above monumental realities; faith is when you see God beyond your situation; faith is when you believe God for things you are yet to see; faith is when you work with what you believe, not what you see with your eyes.

Bartimaeus was blind, but he believed that he could get his healing through Jesus, and when he stepped out and called out to Jesus by faith, he got his healing. His faith brought him a miracle; his faith led to a resounding result. God says, your faith will bring you amazing miracles and resounding results.

Discard your doubts and walk by faith; you don’t have to know how a thing will happen; just believe and leave the rest to God.

Hebrews 11 vs. 6 says: “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

Prayer: Lord, I choose to grow in faith; I choose to believe You, in Jesus’ name! Amen

People of God praise Mighty Jesus!

I want to give all glory to the awesome God of Elijah for proving His mighty self in my job.

It's a sales job and I've been in the career for 6 years now but the way this new company operates is completely different from where I have ever worked.

I got the job miraculously 4 weeks after delivery of our baby girl last year, my colleague they employed us together was sacked, the grace of God helped me. All the order I've been pursuing failed which surprised me because all those customers have been doing business with the company for many years now. There was a customer that was practically begging me to do business only for me to get to him he told me to hold on that he just got engaged with another company, my head scatter and I couldn't bath my baby because that was my last hope and it was so urgent, I had to open up to the man of God, he encouraged me to go on 3 days fasting and prayers because of the revelations I've been having concerning attacks on my finance and career, first day of the fast, God opened my eyes to see that I've been chasing shadows and also showed me a new way to do the business with peace.

Our mummy in the Lord and daddy had to come in spiritually and physically, today to the glory of God, I received the first official stock from my company and God of Elijah is already doing what HE knows how to do best.

Thank you Jesus! May your name be praise forever, Amen!
congratulations ma,may the name of the Lord be praised

LIVE IN YOUR MIRACLE

“And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.”
(Mark 10: 50)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

When blind Bartimaeus heard that Jesus was calling him, he removed his garments before going to meet Jesus. In the Oriental milieu, people wore garments according to who they were, beggars inclusive. So, blind Bartimaeus most probably wore the garment of a beggar. He wore the identity of a beggar, but when Jesus called him, he discarded that beggar’s identity.

Bartimaeus was not yet healed when he removed his garments; God’s plan was yet to be fulfilled, his miracle was yet to manifest, and he acted like one who was not going back to begging. Before he came to Jesus, he changed his identity, and he was already living in his miracle.

Friend, live in your miracle; live in the reality that you are yet to see; live like one whose prayers are already answered; speak like one whose divine intervention is about to manifest; live like one whose situation is set to change; speak like one for whom God has turned things around; speak like one whose evidence is set to become reality. Even when you are yet to see it, believe it.

Start acting like the next level you desire; start speaking like one in the position you desire to occupy; put away the remnants of the level that is about to change; discard the negative attitudes you have imbibed in that undesirable level you want to rise above; even when you can’t see it, live in it, speak about it, say that it will soon manifest, say that God has done it.

Bartimaeus put away his beggar’s garment, and after he met Jesus, he didn’t need to go back to it. He lived in the reality of his next level, and he did not need to go back to his old level. As you live in the reality of your next level, it will become your reality.

Prayer: Lord, I choose to live in the reality of my miracle; may it become my reality, in Jesus’ name! Amen

ANNOUNCED BY HATERS

“And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.”
(Mark 10: 49)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

In our Focal Scripture, Jesus commanded that Bartimaeus be called. The multitude around Jesus went to Bartimaeus and told him to rise to go meet Jesus. These same men tried to hush him when he was calling out to Jesus; these were the same naysayers who opposed him. The men who opposed Bartimaeus were the same men who later announced him.

Friend, hear God’s prophetic word: the same men who opposed you in time past will announce your next level; the same bosses who wanted you fired will announce your promotion to the next level; the same haters who gossiped about your efforts will tell your success story; the same haters who disrespected you in time past will salute you in time to come.

The same ‘many’ who tried to stop you will celebrate you tomorrow. Your haters are about to become your cheer leaders. They mocked you yesterday, but God says, they will have no option but to speak of your greatness and success. The ‘many’ that hate to see you will soon start to like you. God is about to turn your haters to be on your own side.

Don’t break your head on account of the multitude of haters you have to live with; they may be haters today, but they will serve your destiny tomorrow. They may not like you now, but they will beg to be your friends very soon; they may be haters now, but they will soon beg to show you love.

Don’t become a hater simply because you are surrounded by haters. Be yourself, don’t let them stop you, and in a matter of time, the same haters will announce you.

Proverbs 16 vs. 7 says: “When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.”

Pray With Me: Lord, cause my haters to announce me, in Jesus’ name! Amen

BEWARE OF MANY

“And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.”
(Mark 10: 48)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

As Bartimaeus called out to Jesus for mercy, many people hushed him. He needed help from Jesus, but as he screamed, many people tried to stop him from getting Jesus’ attention. People tried to disconnect him from the result he was about to get; he was on the brink of healing, he was about to rise to his next level, and many people raised their discouraging voices.

Friend, beware of ‘many’. Beware of those who discourage you when you are on the brink of success. Beware of naysayers who remind you of how impossible your dreams and visions are; beware of many who gang up to give negative verdicts on your expectations; beware of many who see no future in your efforts and venture. Beware of ‘many’ who have nothing to achieve and try to stop your own achievement.

The names of the people who tried to hush Bartimaeus weren't mentioned; they had no distinct, recognizable identity. Sometimes, the discouraging voices around you have no identity of success. Sometimes, they have no dreams, visions, aspirations, targets, etc like you, and they want to keep you at their level with their words and opinions.

The fact that many people spoke with one voice to shut up Bartimaeus didn’t mean that they were right. Sometimes, when many people rehearse the same discouraging words in your ears, they might be ignorant and sincerely wrong, and you would be making a mistake if you take them too seriously.

Life is not a democracy where majority always carries the vote. Focus on God, focus on your mission, and you will hit your targets despite the ‘many’ that have ignorant opinions.

Prayer: Lord, I will not be stopped by the voices of ‘many’, in Jesus’ name! Amen

WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD?

“And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.”
(Mark 10: 47)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

The divine intervention that Bartimaeus experienced began when he heard that Jesus was passing by. Bartimaeus begged on the highway, but though he received alms, he didn’t get healed until that auspicious moment when he heard that Jesus was passing by. What he heard was the beginning of his change of story.

Friend, beware of what you hear. Whatever you hear has the capacity to make or mar you; what you hear has the capacity to promote or stagnate you; what you hear has the capacity to transform or deform you; what you hear has the capacity to determine the next things that will happen in your life.

If you hear God’s word, and you hear more and more about God, you are simply getting ready for the big release. If you expose yourself continually and consistently to God’s word, it will completely transform you, take you to greater heights, and create new realities that will redefine and reshape your life.

Be careful not to fill your mind with negative information that has the capacity to deform you; be careful about the negative reports you receive on the airwaves; be careful not to dwell on or act on the discouraging words of those who don’t understand that you have a higher covenant in Christ.

Remember, it began with what Bartimaeus heard, and in a matter of time, what he heard became the platform for his next level. Hear the right thing, hear God’s word, and it will connect you to your next level.

Romans 10 vs. 17 says: “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

Prayer: Lord, I crave to hear more of Your word; may it connect me to my next level, in Jesus’ name! Amen

USE WHAT WORKS

“And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.”
(Mark 10: 47)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

In our Focal Scripture, Bartimaeus cried out to Jesus for mercy. Bartimaeus was blind, he could not see, but he used his mouth to call out to Jesus for mercy. His eyes were not working; his mouth was working. Bartimaeus had something that was not working, but he used what was working, and it ushered him into a new phase where his vision was restored.

Friend, there might be things in your life that are not working, but God says, focus on what is working. Focus on functional areas of your life; focus on areas that give you positive results; focus on relationships that add value to you; focus on skills that distinguish you; focus on the opportunities you have and think less of the ones you don’t have; focus on what is working around you and worry less about what is not working.

For Bartimaeus, his mouth was working, and in a matter of time, he used it to get Jesus’ attention. He used what was working to bring what was not working back to normalcy. God says, what is working will help you to rise above what is not working; what is working will open new doors for you and cause you to experience a new lease of life.

If you allow what is not working to make you lose sight of what is working, and if you allow the enemy to make you take up the identity of what is not working, what is working might go into hiding. What is working is your passcode for a new start; what is working is your ladder to the next level.

Ask God to open your eyes to see what is still working in your life. Remember, if there is something left, there is something that God can bless.

Prayer: Lord, I will focus on what is working in my life; may it connect me to my next level, in Jesus’ name! Amen

HIGHER EXPECTATIONS

“And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.”
(Mark 10: 47)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

When blind Bartimaeus was first introduced, mention was made of the fact that he begged. He begged men for alms; he begged men for whatever passers by could offer him; his expectation was to receive alms from men; like every beggar, he probably knew the sort of alms to expect.

As Jesus was passing by, instead of asking for alms, Bartimaeus asked for mercy. He heard that Jesus was passing by, and he took his expectations higher. He stopped expecting alms and started expecting his healing. He increased his expectations, and in a matter of time, his higher expectation was met.

Friend, God says, increase your expectations. Expect higher levels; expect more profit from your enterprise; expect bigger opportunities and better results; expect more acceptance than the acceptance you got before; expect more promotions and elevations; expect more favour from strangers and familiar/unfamiliar places. Expect more than what you got in the past.

Bartimaeus switched from expecting alms to expecting healing, and in a matter of time, he was healed. He had higher expectations, and those expectations were not cut short. God says, if you increase your expectations, those expectations will be fulfilled in a matter of time. Expect more positivity and you will see more and more positivity all around you.

It doesn’t cost you anything to expect more from God; it doesn’t hurt to expect bigger things and better days. God says, as you raise your expectations, they will become your reality.

Proverbs 23 vs. 18 says: “For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.”

Prayer: Lord, cause my higher expectations to become my reality, in Jesus’ name! Amen

A DEEPER REVELATION“And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.” (Mark 10: 47)That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.In our Focal Scripture, Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by; but when he cried for help and healing, he referred to Jesus as the son of David. He didn't call Jesus what others called Him. His perception of Jesus was above what others knew. When Israelites called Jesus ‘the son of David’, they were simply saying that He would sit on the throne of David; it was a higher revelation.Friend, deepen your revelation about Jesus. Know God beyond what everyone else knows Him to be; know God beyond the revelation that people around you have of Him; know God beyond the periphery; seek a deeper insight into the person of Jesus; go beyond the general knowledge that everyone has and know what others do not know; deepen your knowledge of God.Blind Bartimaeus connected to Jesus based on a higher revelation and understanding, and he eventually got the result he was looking for. He called Jesus what others didn’t call Him, and he got what others didn’t get. If your revelation of God remains the same as other people’s revelation, you will get what others get; but if you deepen your knowledge of God, He will deepen the release of His benefits to you.Others only followed Jesus as He passed by, but it was only Bartimaeus that got a miracle; the one who called Jesus by a higher revelation was the one who got something out of Jesus. Your revelation of God is the bedrock of whatever He will release unto you. Knowing more and more of God simply positions you to receive more and more from God.Seek to know God more than everyone around you does; your deeper revelation is the password to your divine provision.Prayer: Lord, help me to know You more and more, in Jesus’ name! Amen

DON'T STOP

“...blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.”
(Mark 10: 46)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

Bartimaeus was disadvantaged as a result of blindness, others could see but he couldn’t see, others could lead themselves about but he needed someone else to lead him around, his life was a tale of a huge disadvantage that could cripple anyone’s wishes and ambitions.

Despite the fact that he was blind, Bartimaeus came to the wayside to beg. He took his destiny in his own hands and made efforts to survive. He couldn’t see, but he could speak and he used his voice to beg men for alms. Despite his disadvantage, he pushed and pressed on; his disadvantage didn't stop him.

Friend, God says, don’t allow your disadvantages to stop you. Don’t allow what is missing in your life to cause you to accept the status quo. Don’t allow your misfortunes to become a reason why you will not make any progress; don’t allow the disappointment of men to become the highway to your irrelevance.
Don’t allow what is not working in your favour at the moment to become the reason why you will fold your arms and do nothing. Don’t let your disadvantage push you into hiding.

Bartimaeus didn’t get healed while hiding at home; he was healed as he sat by the wayside; he made progress when he stepped out despite his disadvantage. God says, as you step out despite your disadvantages, you will meet unexpected favours, you shall rise to the next level, you shall step into mega success, and you will find unexpected opportunities that will distinguish you.

Dare to step out despite your disadvantage, and God will turn it around for your good.

Prayer: Lord, I choose to step out; my disadvantages will not stop me, in Jesus’ name! Amen

IT'S A TRAINING

“...and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.”
(Mark 10: 46)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

In our Focal Scripture, blind Bartimaeus sat by the wayside begging. Because of his blindness, he spent his days begging. If one hundred people walked past him, he probably had to beg them all. He probably learnt how to scream loud enough while begging.

When Jesus was passing by, Bartimaeus screamed at the top of his voice and asked for mercy. He learnt to beg men for money, and he was able to beg Jesus for mercy. His beggarly experience positioned him for a divine repositioning. The downside of his life became the platform for his next level. Begging was his training for his next level.

Friend, like blind Bartimaeus, you may be at that level where you are ‘begging’, but God says, it is a training for your next level. You may be working under someone who stresses you out and makes you go the extra mile to do your work; God says, it’s not a punishment- it’s a training for the big stage. You may have been in difficult circumstances, and God says, what you learnt therein will help you to rise to the next level.

Your setbacks, disappointments, difficult moments, pains, tough times, etc are preparations for your next level. When men think they are short-changing you, they have no idea that they are making you wiser. When men think they have caused you losses, they have no idea that they just might have fired you up for prayers and prophetic confessions.

God can cause beauty to arise out of the ashes of your life; your negative experiences are not a waste of time if you take positivity out of them. Ask God to show you the training in your tough times; it may be tough, but it’s a training.

Prayer: Lord, may every tough moment of my life prepare me for my next level, in Jesus’ name! Amen
