CHECK YOUR CONNECTION

“11. ...as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers...”
(Luke 17: 11-12)

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

The ten lepers in our Focal Scripture were in a village that led to Jerusalem. They were on the way to Jesus' destination. Their location was connected to Jesus’ destination, and that connection later became the platform for their miracle to happen. Their connection to Jesus was the link to their next level.

Friend, God says, your connection is your link to your next level. The people, relationships, attitudes, etc you are connected to, are your links to what you will become in life. The connection you build today is the platform on which your tomorrow will unfold. The persons, ideas, visions, knowledge, understanding, relationships, etc you are connected to will link you to your tomorrow.

The ten lepers were in a location that was connected to Jesus’ destination, and that connection led to their miracle. Be careful who you are connected to. Positive connections will take you higher; negative connections will take you down the drains. If you are connected to the wrong people, relationships, locations, etc, be careful, you just might be setting up yourself for stagnation and uncommon shame.

Build positive connections that will help you to thrive and excel. Build relationships that are not antithetical or toxic to the great destiny you want to make happen. Go for knowledge that will connect you to opportunities that will distinguish you. Build strategic connections that will turn your life around.

Who/what you are connected to, determines what comes to you. Go for positive connections and you shall rise higher.

Prayer : Lord, open my eyes to positive, strategic connections that will turn my life around, in Jesus’ name!Amen
Enjoy A Restful Saturday.

DESTINY HELPERS

“11. And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:”
(Luke 17: 11-12)

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

In Bible times, lepers were kept outside of the city. Leprosy was one of the worst misfortunes that could befall anyone. Leprosy was bad luck; leprosy disconnected its victims from society. The moment anyone became a leper, it was bye bye to family and friends.

While the ten lepers were helpless in their place of isolation, Jesus came and healed them. They were helpless, and Jesus came to help them out of leprosy. Their destinies were about to end in obscurity and insignificance, but Jesus arose as their destiny helper to turn their lives around.

Friend, a destiny helper is about to show up to turn things around in your life. A destiny helper is about to connect you to strategic solutions. A destiny helper is about to open new doors for you, and offer you help that will move you to the next level. A destiny helper is about to do for you what you cannot do for yourself.

God says, someone you are connected to will link you to your next level. Someone you are not connected to is about to become the destiny helper that will move you forward. Something you are doing already is about to become a platform for the mighty visitation God is about to grant you.

Hold on, help is on the way. God is about to send you strategic, uncommon help through someone you know or may not know. If Jehovah is involved, a destiny helper will bring you strategic help that will move you forward.

Prayer : Lord, send me a destiny helper that will help me to move forward, in Jesus’ name!Amen

12th Nov. 2015. “ GRATITUDE TO GOD “ -Part 1
Psalms 18 V 49 -Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.

The word gratitude, means; thankfulness, appreciation, grateful, etc.

It is a medium to appreciate any one for an assistance offered to some one.
Gratitude to God, therefore means an attitude of appreciating what God has done in the past.

When we give God glory for one he is moved to do more.

So long you are living on this earth, you have to praise God.

Psalms 150 V 1- Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

SCRIPTURAL CASE STUDY LUKE 8 V26-39

HOW TO KNOW GRATEFUL PEOPLE
1. They move from grace to more grace.
2. They testify- 1 Sam 17 34-37 ( In Verse 37 David said: moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.
3. They follow God and walk in his ways - Verse 38. Also in Gen 12 V1-And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
4. They are true soul winners - Verse 39 - tells us how the mad man went every where to preaching the gospel.

In conclusion, the big question is, are you an ungrateful fellow? Have you shown gratitude for the ones he did for you before.

That is a big question, the Lord told me my Servant , tell my people to be grateful for the ones I have done, so I can do more for them.

Gratitude for what has been done in the past open doors for greater testimonies.

Prayer point
1. Father, I thank you for all you have done in my life, in Jesus name.
2Father, please, let not the ungratefulness of my parents stand against my prayers, IJN
3. Father, please, forgive me for being ungrateful to you, in Jesus name.
4. Father, please, from today onward, I will keep testifying about your good works, IJN
5. Father, please, from today onward, I will save souls for you, IJN.
6. Father, please, from today onward, I will keep testifying about your good works, IJN
7. Father, please, let today’s anointing make a difference in my Life, IJN.
8. Father, please, let today’s anointing make me the head in my generation, IJN
9. Father, please, Let today’s anointing take away every reproach from my life, IJN.
10. Father, please, let today’s anointing, bring my destiny helpers to locate me, IJN.
11. Father, please, protect, my blessing with your fire, in Jesus name.

May the almighty God answer every of your prayers in Jesus name.

Just Thinking:

The Lord closed some doors so that when you get to your OPEN DOOR you won't be confused. Not all Open Doors are your Destiny Doors and Opportunities for your Next Level. Relax!

UNLIKELY PLACES

“11. And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:”
(Luke 17: 11-12)

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

In our Focal Scripture, Jesus bypassed Samaria and Galilee and healed ten lepers He met in a ‘certain village’. Jesus left places that had names and performed a mighty miracle in a place that had no name. Galilee and Samaria had names, but the certain village got a supernatural experience.

Friend, pay more attention to your ‘certain village’. Pay more attention to that relationship that seems too small to be rewarding. Pay attention to ideas that other people are overlooking. Pay attention to insignificant opportunities around you. Pay attention to people around you who appear insignificant in your eyes. Pay attention to the little skills that don’t seem to attract a resounding applause.

As Jesus performed a mighty miracle in that ‘certain village’, so will He grant you uncommon miracles and mighty visitations through the most unlikely sources. Those unlikely ideas and opportunities are about to deliver unimaginable treasures to you in a matter of time.

Jesus came into that certain village, and though it was an unlikely place, a mighty result came forth. If Jehovah is involved, even if you are in an unlikely place, God will show up with unlikely miracles.

If Jehovah is involved, the equation of your location may be incomplete, but God will complete it. When Jehovah is involved, what is missing around you won’t be enough to stop what God will do for you.

Ask God to grant you uncommon miracles and breakthroughs from unlikely sources. Ask God to show up in your ‘certain village’ and spring a surprise for you.

Prayer : Lord, grant me uncommon miracles from unlikely sources, in Jesus’ name!Amen
Enjoy A Superb Tuesday.

NOT BY NAME

“11. And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:”
(Luke 17: 11-12)

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

Our Focal Scripture speaks of a village where Jesus met and healed ten lepers. The name of the village was unknown, but ten lepers were healed therein; the destinies of ten men were turned around for good therein; what Jesus did in the village was spectacular and recorded in scriptures. The name of the village was unknown, but it became a spot for uncommon miracles.

Friend, your name may be unknown, but significant miracles will happen in your life. Your family’s name may be unknown, but God will do outstanding miracles that will put your family in the spotlight. You may not be as popular as your rivals, but God says, something big is about to happen in your life, and it will resonate greatly.

Your finances, career, business, ministry, etc may not have a name, what you do for a living may not have a name, etc, but God is about to grant you unique experiences that will announce you. You may not have made a name yet, but God will grant you experiences that will ring a bell.

Get set: for the shame of not having a name, God will grant you experiences that generations after you will hear about and marvel. If Jehovah is involved, your experience will exceed the sound of your name.

You need to go nameless so that the name of the Lord can be exalted in your life; you need not have a name that rings a bell, so that God can do things for you that will ring a bell. As it was for that village, so shall it be for you.

Prayer : Lord, though my name be unknown, grant me uncommon miracles, in Jesus’ name!Amen
Enjoy A Blessed Monday And A Testimony Filled Week.

AWAY FROM UNCLEANNESS

“And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:”
(Luke 17: 12)

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

After Jesus healed the ten lepers, nine of them walked away, while one (a Samaritan) returned to give thanks. So there were nine Jewish lepers and one Samaritan leper. In Bible times, Jews were superior to Samaritans. The Samaritan woman who met Jesus in John 4 affirmed the superiority.

When the ten men became lepers, leprosy brought them to the same level. Leprosy was synonymous with uncleanness in Bible times. So uncleanness came upon nine Jewish lepers, and it brought them to the same level as the Samaritan leper. Uncleanness reduced their destinies.

Friend, uncleanness is a leveler: when you dwell in uncleanness, it will reduce you to the same level as those you should be ahead of. You may not know how far you can go in life until you drop the unclean habits you are stuck with. You may never know how much your life is being reduced by sin until you dare to walk away from it. You may not know how toxic and disastrous unrighteousness is, until you turn a new leaf.

God may have continued to bless you despite your unclean attitudes and character, but if you dare to drop the unclean components of your life, your life will rise higher and higher. Any unclean habit, lifestyle, relationship, character, etc in you will take your life down the drains sooner than later. Anything in you that offends God will put you out of circulation.

Get rid of every ‘leprosy’ in your life. Get rid of your secret guilty pleasures; get rid of sin, immorality, impurity, etc. If it displeases God and drains your moral reserve, even if it tickles you now, be sure that it will package you for celebrated shame.

Prayer : Lord, any seed of uncleanness that wants to reduce my destiny, I get rid of it, in Jesus’ name!Amen
Enjoy A Super Sunday.
