Monday June 27 “Nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.” 2Ch 20:12 NKJV Overcoming temptation (1) When Jesus told Peter he would soon deny his Lord, Peter boasted, “Others may, but not me!” Yet within a few hours he was swearing and disavowing any knowledge of Jesus. It can happen to any of us. The Bible says, “Each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own [particular] desires and enticed” (Jas 1:14 NKJV). We all have areas of vulnerability which, if not disciplined by character and commitment, have the potential to defeat or even destroy us. What can you do? (1) Recognize it. Before you yield to temptation you usually go through certain stages. By neglecting prayer and Bible reading you become indifferent to God, insensitive to danger, and find yourself drawn like a moth to a flame. Then you begin to rationalize your disobedience and think, “Nobody knows. What harm will it do?” And the more you silence the voice of conscience, the stronger your carnal appetites become. Then you surround yourself with people who do the same things, or are at least willing to look the other way. Jesus said, “Pray…that you may not enter into temptation” (Mk 14:38 AMP). Pray for strength before the temptation comes! (2) Reach for help. When Jehoshaphat came up against an enemy too big to handle alone, he prayed, “We have no power against this great multitude…nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.” Jehoshaphat knew he was no match for the Enemy, and he knew where to turn for help. What’s the secret of victory? Lean less on yourself and more on God! |
The Scottish Government has said it will consider a second referendum seeking independence from the United Kingdom, if the UK eventually leaves the European Union. Similarly, there are independence agitations in London, as thousands of people petitioned the city’s mayor, Sadik Khan, urging him to declare London independent. About 200,000 had signed the petition set up by one James O’Malley, as of 3pm on Saturday, on change.org. O’Malley said via an email correspondence that London would suffer if not in the EU. “London is a world city and anything that makes it harder to travel, communicate and trade with people elsewhere is going to hurt our city. The economic arguments advanced by the Leave campaign were essentially nonsense. Scotland wants independence again and there are calls in Northern Ireland to reunite with Eire,” he said. When asked if Khan had the authority to declare London independent, the Briton said, “Not officially! But I hope that the petition will provoke a conversation about devolving more powers to London. Scotland has its own government and can make its own laws – why can’t London? But the people who lose out are not losing because of immigrants or because we’re in Europe, but because of political choices made by British politicians. It is going to be very disappointing when they realise they were sold a lie.” This is coming on the heels of a petition on the UK parliament website calling for a second EU referendum, which has gathered almost two million signatures in about 24 hours. The avalanche of signatures led to a crash of the website. Advertisement On Thursday, 51.9 per cent of votes were cast to leave the EU as against 48.1 per cent who voted to remain. The petition, set up by one William Healey, said, “We the undersigned call upon Her Majesty’s government to implement a rule that if the Remain or Leave vote is less than 60 per cent based on a turnout less than 75 per cent, there should be another referendum.” At the time of filing this report, 1,681,930 people had signed the petition. The UK parliament is expected to consider the petition for a debate, while the UK government will also likely respond to the petition. Meanwhile, the Scottish First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, said she was meeting with members of her cabinet to decide on the possibility of conducting a second referendum on whether to remain in the UK or not, according to the Scottish government’s official website. She said, “Let me address the issue of a second independence referendum. The manifesto that the Scottish National Party was elected on last month said this: ‘The Scottish Parliament should have the right to hold another referendum. If there is a significant and material change in the circumstances that prevailed in 2014, such as Scotland being taken out the EU against our will.’ “Scotland does now face that prospect — it is a significant and material change in circumstances — and it is therefore a statement of the obvious that the option of a second referendum must be on the table. And it is on the table.” https://www.today.ng/news/world/143349/brexit-scotland-london-independence |

Sunday June 26 “To be conformed to the likeness of his Son.” Ro 8:29 NIV The ultimate purpose of prayer The Bible says, “Those God foreknew he…predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son.” When you read the preceding verses in the chapter you discover God does this through prayer. This should encourage you to pray. Many times we don’t pray because we don’t think anything’s happening. But with God, something’s always happening! We wonder, “When is He going to work?” What we fail to understand is—He’s always working. When it comes to prayer He’s either answering the way you hoped, or changing your heart through the Spirit’s intercession to bring your prayer into harmony with His will. You say, “But I don’t see anything happening.” When you plant a seed, you don’t come back the next day expecting green shoots and leaves. Does that mean nothing’s happening? No, a host of necessary processes are taking place below the ground where you can’t see them. Don’t make the mistake of thinking because you don’t see the evidence that nothing’s happening. It’s just not harvest time yet. One way in which God is making us more like Jesus is by helping us to pray the way Jesus prayed, “Not my will, but thine, be done” (Lk 22:42). That means when your prayer lines up with His will, He’s already working on it even though you can’t see it. And if your prayer isn’t in accordance with His will, He’s working to change your request by changing you. Unanswered prayer can be as big a blessing as answered prayer, when it keeps us from violating God’s will. And what is God’s will? To make you more like Jesus!. |

Saturday June 25 “Let us stop passing judgment on one another.” Ro 14:13 NIV Instead of judging people, let’s love them You can work alongside and pray for someone who’s having an extramarital affair, without having one yourself. Remember, you were a sinner before you were saved by the grace of God, so act with humility and don’t fall into the trap of self-righteousness. As Merv Rosell says, “When God forgives, He consigns the offense to everlasting forgetfulness,” so show grace when you encounter somebody whose lifestyle makes you uncomfortable. Learn as much as possible about them, and allow your interactions to dispel any preconceptions and prejudices. See them as hurting individuals loved by God—people who need the same grace you received. When you love the unlovely, you’re just doing what God did for you. Just because somebody’s “different,” doesn’t mean you should dismiss them or consider them inferior. You don’t want to be judged or demeaned because of your color, culture, or countenance, so don’t do it to others! Because the Bible is clear about not emulating others in their sinful practices, we can be tempted to think we’re better than they are. That’s the sin of pride! Sometimes we think if we love and accept certain people, we’re condoning their sin. No, the truth lies in remaining respectful, and accepting others the way Jesus did. Whether it was racial differences (Samaritans), lifestyle differences (the five-times-divorced woman at the well), or class differences (Nicodemus), Jesus loved and accepted people as they were, while inspiring them to a higher standard. |
Friday June 24 “Do not let sin control the way you live.” Ro 6:12 NLT Give yourselves to God When someone says, “I can’t help myself; it’s just the way I am,” they are right, but only partially right! Researchers identified more than a hundred identical twins that had been separated at birth. They were raised in various cultures, religions, and locations. By comparing their similarities and their differences it became clear that as much as 70 percent of their personality—was inherited. Their DNA determined such qualities as creativity, wisdom, loving-kindness, vigor, longevity, intelligence, and even the joy of living. Consider the “Jim twins” who were separated until they were thirty-nine years old. Both married women named Linda, owned dogs named Toy, suffered from migraine headaches, chain-smoked, liked beer, drove Chevys, and served as sheriff’s deputies. Their personalities and attitudes were virtual carbon copies. What do these findings mean? Are we puppets on a string, playing out a predetermined course without free will or personal choices? Not at all. Unlike animals, we’re capable of rational thought and independent action. We don’t have to act on every sexual urge, for example, despite our genetic underpinnings. Heredity may nudge us in a particular direction, but our impulses can be brought under control. This is where the new birth comes in. God gives you a new nature, and the power to overcome your old one. Paul addresses it: “Do not let sin control the way you live, do not give in to sinful desires. Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life” (vv. 12-13 NLT). |

......who among all those people beating (stoning) him is clean (is not guilty)? ... Jesus teaching. ![]() It would have been better if they hand him over to the police than this. Who among them is not a thief? Is it a mechanic? A vulganiser? A police? Even our high ranking government official? Pray the Lord to forgive us all. Both the thief and the thief beater. |

googlepikins:stop been sentimental. If Dangote owes too, you will see what will happen to him. Is Jimoh Ibrahim too from SS? He too was owing to the tune of over N50b. Why do we always support things that are not even beneficiary to us in this society, just because we think one government is not good. Is N11b a small money to overlook? |

Thursday June 23 “Be mindful to be a blessing.” Gal 6:10 AMP Bless them When someone hurts you, you have three options: (1) hurt them back; (2) avoid them altogether; (3) pray for them and look for ways to bless them (See Mt 5:44-45). Paul says: “As occasion and opportunity open up…let us do good [morally] to all people [not only being useful or profitable to them, but…doing what is for their spiritual good and advantage]. Be mindful to be a blessing.” We’re so caught up with how others treat us that we’ve little or no concern about how we treat them. We’re afraid of being taken advantage of, especially if our past experience with someone has been painful. Not only do fear and dread make us supersensitive to everything they say and do, we may misinterpret their motives and see them in a negative light. Without question, it’s difficult not to be concerned that others will treat you badly if they already have a proven track record. That’s why it’s so important not to think about it at all (See Php 3:13 and Isa 43:18). Does this mean the person won’t have to account for how they treated you? No. The Bible says, “Each of us will give an account of himself to God. Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another” (Ro 14:12-13 NIV). Hand the situation over to God—and refuse to take it back. Then, “Be mindful to be a blessing.” In other words, occupy your thoughts with ways in which you can be helpful. When you do that you’ll have no time to dwell on personal grievances. Plus, it gives God an opportunity to work on them—and you. |

Wednesday June 22 “My foot has held fast to His steps; I have kept His way and not turned aside.” Job 23:11 NKJV Stay focused on your mission Many of our endeavors in life fail for one reason—broken focus. We allow ourselves to get distracted. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Concentration is the secret of strength in politics, in war, in trade; in short, in all management of human affairs.” Where should you focus your concentration? On your mission! And when you make a mistake don’t chase after it. Don’t try to defend it. Don’t throw good money after it. When you make a mistake acknowledge it. If you need to, seek forgiveness from God and the person you have hurt. And when possible try to make amends. Once you’ve done these things, refocus your attention on your mission and move on. Keep your eye on what it is you desire to do. You’ll never meet a person focused on yesterday who had a better tomorrow. John Foster Dulles, secretary of state under President Eisenhower, observed: “The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it is still the same problem you had last year.” A problem resolved is a springboard to future success, to bigger and better things. The key is to focus on what you’re learning, not losing. When you do that you open the door to future possibilities. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “Positive thinking is how you think about a problem. Enthusiasm is how you feel about a problem. The two together determine what you do about a problem.” And in the end, that’s what matters. |

Tuesday June 21 “In the shadow of His hand He has hidden Me.” Isa 49:2 NKJV Hidden by design When you’re called to serve God in a particular capacity, it’s not unusual to go through a period of anonymity where you feel invisible. Isaiah was called of God “from the womb” (v. 1 NKJV). But he experienced a season of being hidden “in the shadow” while God perfected his ministry. When a vision takes a long time to come to fruition, and you’ve sacrificed and worked without recognition or seeing results, it’s easy to feel like you’re wasting your life. Isaiah was human too. He got discouraged and said, “I have labored to no purpose…spent my strength…for nothing” (v. 4 NIV). But just because you feel that way doesn’t mean it’s true. “God…rewards those who earnestly seek him” (Heb 11:6 NIV), and you’re no exception. It took thirty years before Jesus started His public ministry. Moses, David, John the Baptist, and Paul endured years of obscurity before they were brought to the forefront. In God’s Kingdom there are no overnight sensations or flash-in-the-pan successes. One Christian author says: “Anyone who wants to be used of God will experience hidden years in the backside of the desert. During that time the Lord is polishing, sharpening and preparing us to fit into His bow, so at the right time, like ‘a polished shaft’ He can launch us into fruitful service. The invisible years are years of serving, studying, being faithful in another person’s ministry and doing the behind-the-scenes work.” The Bible says, “God is not unjust; he will not forget your work” (Heb 6:10 NIV). Be patient; when the time is right He will bring forth the fruit He placed inside you. |
