#DailyDose In January 1956, five American missionaries headed to the rainforest of the eastern Amazon in Ecuador. They were making a second visit to the Huaorani tribe, which anthropologists said was the most vicious, violent society on the face of the Earth. They had a culture of killing, and studies showed 60 percent of the tribe died by homicide. As soon as the missionaries got out of the plane, they were speared to death by members of the tribe. The brutal murders made news around the world and were on the covers of Life magazine, Time, and Newsweek. Many newspapers reported the deaths of these men, who included Nate Saint and Jim Elliot. A couple years later, Elisabeth and Valerie Elliot, wife and daughter of Jim, and Rachel Saint, sister of Nate, moved into the Huaorani village to show love and forgiveness and minister to the people who had killed their families. Eventually, Mincaye, who was the leader of the tribe, and other men who participated in the missionary murders became Christians. The kind of forgiveness Elisabeth Elliot, Valerie Elliot, and Rachel Saint modeled doesn’t make sense until you have been forgiven by God. So, once you’ve experienced God’s forgiveness, how do you forgive? You do the four things these women did: Relinquish your right to get even. Romans 12:19 says, “Don’t try to get even. Let God take revenge” (CEV). Leave it up to God. He’ll take care of it, and he’ll do a much better job than you ever could. Respond to evil with good. How can you tell when you’ve completely forgiven someone? You can actually pray for God to bless the person who hurt you. The Bible says. “Do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you” (Luke 6:27-28 NIV). Repeat these steps as long as necessary. Peter asked Jesus in Matthew 18:21, “How many times should I forgive someone who does something wrong to me? Is seven times enough?” (CEV). Jesus replied, “Not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!” (Matthew 18:22 CEV). Sometimes forgiveness has to be continual. Rescue others with the Good News of God’s forgiveness. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:18-20, “God has done it all! He sent Christ to make peace between himself and us, and he has given us the work of making peace between himself and others. What we mean is that God was in Christ, offering peace and forgiveness to the people of this world. And he has given us the work of sharing his message about peace. We were sent to speak for Christ, and God is begging you to listen to our message. We speak for Christ and sincerely ask you to make peace with God.” Because you’ve been forgiven by God, he expects you to forgive other people. He will help you work through your hurt and give you the grace to forgive those who’ve hurt you. ©RICK WARREN How do you respond when convicted by the Holy Spirit of sin?

Must Watch: Why are school children increasingly being kidnapped in Nigeria? Schools stormed and children held captive. For months now, that's become common in Northern Nigeria. Gunmen kidnapped dozens and possibly hundreds of schoolchildren in the latest assault on Wednesday. One student was killed in the attack on in the town of Kagara. The government has released the names of some who were abducted and a rescue operation is ongoing. Many of the previous attacks have been blamed on so-called bandits who ask for ransom. But the armed groups are not the only security challenge facing Nigerian forces. They've been fighting Boko Haram, that carries out similar attacks in the northeast. Presenter: Hashem Ahelbarra. Guests: Mike Ejiofor is Former Director of Nigeria's State Security Service and is Security Analyst.

Jesus Comes to You in Your Storm #DailyDose “About three o’clock in the morning Jesus came toward them, walking on the water.” Mark 6:48 (NLT) Have you ever had a storm blow your life off course? In Mark 6, Jesus sent the disciples ahead of him to Bethsaida while he went off by himself to pray. It wasn’t a long trip by boat, but they were blown off course by a storm. When Jesus saw them struggling against the wind in the middle of the lake, he came to their aid. Does your life feel like the disciples’ today? Maybe you had no intention of being where you are in your job, your marriage, or your finances. You’ve been blown off course by situations you couldn’t control. You feel like you should be at your original destination by now, but at this point you’ve given up hope of getting there. You just want to get back to safety. Or perhaps you had big dreams for your life that you gave up on a long time ago. You’re not even worried about progress anymore. You’re just wondering, “Can I survive?” What does Jesus do when you’re at your moment of desperation? Mark 6:48 says, “About three o’clock in the morning Jesus came toward them, walking on the water” (NLT). Notice that he didn’t tell the disciples to come to him. He knew they couldn’t get to him. So he went to them instead. The same is true for you. When you’re at your point of desperation, Jesus comes to you! I love the fact that Jesus did not stand on the shore and shout instructions. When you’re in a storm, you don’t need advice. You need a miracle! You need somebody to show up, and that’s what Jesus did. He intervened in the disciples’ storm. This is the Gospel: God doesn’t stand on the shoreline telling you what to do; instead, he comes out and meets you in your own storm—in your pain, fear, depression, and discouragement. He comes to you. What a God! You may feel abandoned right now, but you’re not. The Bible says in John 14:18, “I will not abandon you or leave you as orphans in the storm—I will come to you” (TLB). You can count on it! ©Rick Warren How do you respond when convicted by the Holy Spirit of sin?

It’s Time to Confess: Your Way Isn’t Working #DailyDose “When [Jesus] had finished speaking, he said to Simon, ‘Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.’ Simon answered, ‘Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.’” Luke 5:4-5 (NIV) Think about how hard it must have been for Simon Peter to admit failure to Jesus. He was a professional fisherman, and he was good at it. It was how he made his living. But sometimes even the pros fish all night and catch nothing. Does your life sometimes feel the same way? Sometimes your best isn’t good enough, and sometimes you face situations out of your control. You can’t control the economy. You can’t control the weather. You can’t control a lot of things that affect your life. So what do you do when you keep trying hard in your work but just don’t have much to show for it? First, you need to get Jesus in your boat. In other words, let him be the center of your job. Then, once you’ve asked Jesus to come into your boat, you need to admit your way isn’t working so you can let him take over. The Bible has a name for “admitting your way isn’t working.” It’s called confession, and it can be tough. Why is it so hard for you to admit your way isn’t working? Here are a few reasons: Pride. You don’t want anybody to think you can’t handle it. Instead, you want to look like you’re in charge and like you’ve got it all together. You think you can handle everything by yourself, even if it means working 12 hours a day. Stubbornness. You’re unwilling to change the way you do things. Did you know the greatest enemy of tomorrow’s success is yesterday’s success? Fear. You can’t admit you’ve fished all night and caught nothing. You’re afraid people will think less of you. You’re afraid to let Jesus into your boat because he might steer it in a direction you don’t want to go. It’s time to confess that your way isn’t working. Let go of your pride, stubbornness, and fear. Then see how Jesus can take your boat and fill your nets to overflowing. ©Rick Warren How do you respond when convicted by the Holy Spirit of sin?

Back or Front Sight #DailyDose The greatest undoing of many is the direction of their gaze. Many people believed in the impact of their past than the glory of the future. Unfortunately, whomsoever sets his eye backwards will never move forward, nor enter into a glorious future. And since, when we were his enemies, we were brought back to God by the death of his Son, what blessings he must have for us now that we are his friends and he is living within us! Romans 5:10 TLB Today, and especially in Africa, many people have their sight on generational curses, and the atrocities committed by their forefathers, than the blessings in Christ. One grandfather might have disrupted a lot of things, but we have Jesus who has rearranged a lot of things and set unprecedented blessings for us. However, it requires faith, by giving more heed to the blessings than the curses. Am not saying those curses aren't real, but we have Jesus and His precious promises before us. We can then choose which we will set out gaze on, back or front. There's a difference between running after and running from. There are some today who are merely scared and trying to run from happenings in their past. However, we are meant to run after the blessings. When we get the blessings, not even our past can hinder it. Whomsoever God has blessed is blessed. Rather, you ought to seek for God's blessings than running from things you may not be able to escape from. The two(past and future) are before you, but your highest believe will determine what happens in your life. Most times we don't need more believe, you just need to deal more with the contrary unbelieve. Just like the man said, "I believe help my unbelieve."

Immunity Against Curses/Wickedness #DailyDose Generational curses and wickedness by evil ones are plaguing many today, and sometimes, there are some children of God who doesn’t know who they are and labour under these curses and wickedness due to their ignorance and unbelief. Unbelief for a child of God is a curse, and it is very dangerous, but it can be cured and should be cured immediately. Because unbelief will put a man under lots of bondage. Am pleased to tell you this morning that God is the creator of everything and everyone, all powers in heavens, on the earth and even in the deep. And thus, God has given us immunity against every form of curses. All you need is belief. Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. No weapon formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against me in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. Isaiah 54:16-17 In the scripture above, God said that He created every man that forms every weapon, and He created even the destroyer. And He is now telling you that, no matter what is formed, concocted, created, sent or manufacture can never arm you. He said we shall condemn every tongue that rise against us. And He said something special, He said this immunity is a benefit for God’s children, it is an inheritance. Wow! We have an inheritance that shields us, all we need is to engage it. He also said somewhere else that no curse causeless shall stand. He said somewhere else that, ‘surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel’ Whomsoever God has blessed cannot be cursed, you can’t be cursed, because you’re blessed in Christ Jesus with all heavenly blessings. All you need is to stand in your position of authority and condemn every tongue rising against you. His word said He will wipe off every handwriting against us. it’s just a pity how many people believe more in the power of the devil than they believe in the power of God. When Christ took the victory over death, He didn’t go to death to negotiate, He acclaimed a victory that is so great that death was swallowed up in that victory. Children of God just need to seek the will of God and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, and with just a single word, or without any, every generational curse will be swallowed up in victory. You’re immune, but our immunity is rooted in the knowledge and understanding of God, that’s why it’s most beneficial to seek and know God. How do you respond when convicted by the Holy Spirit of sin?
