Focus: The Blessing of a Mother

The word for today
The womb of a mother is the child's first place of rest and development. One of the blessings a child requires to enjoy prosperity, progress, and rest in all aspects of life is the blessing of a mother!
****************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, "My daughter, shall I not seek security for you, that it may be well with you? (Ruth 3:1 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mothers are God's blessing manifested in human form. Having a mother is most likely God's greatest blessing in our lives. It is her love that strengthens us, her care that prepares us to face the world, and her hands that help us overcome all of life's difficulties. A wise son makes a happy father, but a foolish son causes his mother grief, according to King Solomon (Prov.10.1 NKJV). This implies that true mothers do not abandon their children regardless of their circumstances. We must not forget the hardships they endured for us, as well as the sacrifices they made in raising us.

The blessing of a mother, like the blessing of a father, is essential for enjoying prosperity and rest on the path of destiny. A wise son or daughter does not mock his mother, but rather seeks her blessing. A mother's blessing can deliver a man from every hopeless situation. This is demonstrated in Ruth's life. She served her mother-in-law wholeheartedly and selflessly. This act brought a generational blessing and the rest she so desperately desired into her life. Always provoke the blessing of your mother. It is wrong to proceed in destiny without the blessing of a mother.

Meditation: Are you blessed by the Lord through your mother?

Dear Lord, by your mercy, consider the efforts of our mothers and soften every life's battle hindering our progress and rest in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis: If you want rest and progress on your journey of destiny, always invoke your mother's blessing!

Have a Blessed Wednesday!

Focus: A Voice in High Places

WORD FOR TODAY
No man will have a sit in high places of various level of life; if no one speaks of him there. There are heights a man can never attain in life until a voice through the help of God speaks well about him in high places!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house." (Genesis 40:14 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The fulfillment of the precious plan of God for Joseph will only come to pass if someone can just speak concerning him to the highest power in Egypt. He was not ignorant of this; that was why he said "make mention of me to Pharaoh". This principle still holds till date; soaring to the top is very easy when someone above you holds your hand and pull you up.

When the Lord is set to have mercy on a man He connects him to people that matter in high places. For David to fulfill the plan of God for his life he needed to get acquainted with the kingdom affairs. This was not possible until someone spoke about him to King Saul (1Sam 16:18).

One of the criminals who was crucified along with Jesus understood this principle said to Him, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom." (Luke 23:42). The height you will reach and how far you will go in destiny depends on the voice that speaks on your behalf in various high places. Even in Heaven, we the children of God have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous (1John 2:1).
___________________________________
Question For Meditation:

Prayer Point
Lord! Help me to find grace in this wilderness of life; connect my life to destiny helpers in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Main Emphasis
A man will only go higher when help comes from above!!!

Focus: When the Lord Prospered your ways

The word for today
You are not progressive until the Lord has prospered your ways. No one can stop or hinder you in the journey of destiny when the Lord has gone ahead of you!
****************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And he said to them, "Do not hinder me, since the LORD has prospered my way." (Genesis 24:56a NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the Journey of destiny, there will surely be an opposition to stop or delay you in every bid to advance. Therefore, irrespective of the strength and the resources at your disposal you must always seek to know and desire that the Lord makes your way prosperous.

Each time you come to a junction of knowing with ultimate precision that God is leading you to do something and you are working and walking in line with His will; you have every right to move on because the Lord has made your way prosperous.

Meditation: Are you on the right track for the right course under God?

Dear Lord, I receive the grace to move further into my glorious destiny in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis: All you need in every bid to fulfil a course in destiny is that God should make your ways prosperous!

Have a Prosperous Tuesday!

Focus: What and Who to Magnify

The word for today
Whatever you magnify becomes big in your life. If you magnify your challenges and problems they become big; the more you lay emphasis on the battle of life the more your battle will be!
****************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And Mary said: "My soul magnifies the Lord, And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior." (Luke 1:46-47 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In whatever situation you find yourself; try to always magnify the Lord. Your experience cannot change the personality of God. The Lord is great, powerful and wonderful. One of the most important strategies of staying strong in the battle of life is magnifying the Lord above all and rejoicing in His salvation. Standing on His promises without wavering.

The evil one is winning most of the battles over God's children because people know more of what the devil can do than what God can do. The intensity of the proclamation of the evil works of darkness by most men in our pulpits today makes people live in fear to the point of shouting the blood of Jesus over an ordinary cockroach going about its activities.

Sometimes when young people of our days look zealous and fervent in prayers; they mostly do so in fear and loss of courage in the presence of real battles of life. Our faith will always determine our experience. Let's not be an agent of darkness nor speak more of the potentials of the evil one. Rather, let's have faith in the word of God and walk in the reality of our victory in Christ Jesus.

Meditation: What and Who do you Magnify?

Dear Lord, You are bigger than all my trouble; My soul magnifies You and my spirit rejoices in my salvation in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis: Magnify the Lord and you will see Him big in your life and situation!

Have an Outstanding Wednesday!

Focus: Helping Yourself by Yielding Yourself

The word for today
There is a limit to which men can help you. When God bring people that can help you your way and they are trying to help you; don't forget to help yourself!
****************************************
Scriptural Reference
"The angel of the LORD came back a second time and touched him and said, "Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you." (1 Kings 19:7 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Helping yourself in this context is not trusting in the arm of the flesh for help but accepting to yield yourself to accept the advances God is making towards you through the people He is bringing your way. The fact is that God is ever ready to help, does not change the fact that you must help yourself to help God to help you. He needs your cooperation to do His good pleasure in your life.

Elijah was expected to eat in preparation for the journey ahead of him. By yielding to the instruction given to him, he was able to successfully go on a journey for 40 days and night without becoming weary. The parable of the ten virgins made it clear to us that every man is expected to take responsibility for his life.

If there is a child who has people to send him/her to school or have an opportunity to be in school; such must be ready to help himself to perform excellently. It is your responsibility to become worthy of God's salvation, blessing and His promises over your life. The turning point in the life of the prodigal son was the point he submitted himself to get it right with the father.

Meditation: Do you cooperate with God to do His good pleasure in your life?

Dear Lord, Help me to play my part in the fulfilment of your purpose for my life in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis: You must yield yourself by playing your part if you must fulfil your mandate!

Have a Refreshing Worship Experience!

Focus: The Greatest Investment in a Man: Knowing God

The word for today
The investment we make in someone's life remains incomplete until that person comes to know God. True life and purpose are found in knowing God!
****************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." (John 17:3 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The knowledge of God is the key to discovering the abundant life He offers. After the fall of man, humanity became inherently selfish, preoccupied with self-interest. Whether it be friendships, marriages, parenthood, leadership, or followership, man's natural inclination is to serve his own desires. However, a man can only reach his full potential in fulfilling divine assignments when he discovers his true identity by knowing God.

The impact made by individuals like Joseph, Daniel, and others throughout history would not have been possible without their intimate knowledge of God. The void left behind would have been immense if these men had not known God. The mentors and guides who played a role in their lives did a commendable job, as their efforts were not in vain. We must not rest until our children and those entrusted to our care come to know God, for it is in that knowledge that true life is found.

The people we invest so much in will only become a blessing when they truly know God and accurately represent Him in His fullness. Therefore, let us prioritize leading others to know God, for it is the greatest investment we can make in their lives.

Meditation: Do you God and also help others to know Him?

Dear Lord, no life outside you; help to know you more and more and help others to know You in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis: Investing in a person's life is incomplete until they come to know God, as it is through this knowledge that they find true purpose, impact the world, and experience eternal life.

Have an Inspirational Worship Experience!

Focus: A Heart in Sodom

The word for today
A person whose heart is entangled with worldliness and it's allurements will never find entrance into the rest that God has prepared for them. The direction of your heart dictates your destiny and your portion in the inheritance of God's people.
****************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the Father but is of the world. (1John 2:15-16 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the story of Lot's family, as the Lord was delivering them from the impending destruction of Sodom, Lot's wife demonstrated the peril of having her heart attached to Sodom. Despite physically leaving the city, her heart remained entangled with its worldly values, resulting in her ultimate destruction along with the people of Sodom. This serves as a poignant reminder that our hearts cannot be separated from our treasures.

The biblical account of Demas serves as another cautionary example. Demas, who was initially a companion of the apostle Paul, eventually deserted him and abandoned his faith, succumbing to the allure of the world. This decision led him down a different path, one that deviated from wholehearted devotion to God. A heart enthralled by worldliness becomes ineffective in fulfilling God's purposes, as their efforts are not profitable to Him.

The lives of Gehazi, King Saul, and Judas further illustrate the consequences of having divided hearts. Gehazi, though following the prophet Elisha, had his heart elsewhere and his focus diverted from the business of the kingdom. Similarly, King Saul and Judas Iscariot pursued their own agendas under the guise of serving God. Their hearts were entangled in worldly pursuits, preventing them from fulfilling God's will.

A man or woman of God who loves the world will inevitably prioritize their own worldly desires over God's purposes. The position of our hearts is a critical factor that determines our effectiveness and alignment with God's will. Let us be wholly devoted to God to be free from the entanglements of worldly allurements. This Will position us to partake in His purposes and experience the true fulfillment found in Him.

Meditation: Are you wholly devoted to God?

Dear Lord, grant me the strength to stay steadfast in fulfilling Your will; may my efforts never be in vain in Your sight in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis: Our actions and priorities reflect the true condition of our hearts. Those who genuinely love and serve God wholeheartedly are positioned to fulfill His will and receive His blessings!

Have an Awesome Tuesday!

Focus: God will guide Us

The word for today
Every man created by God is on a journey of destiny from the cradle to the grave. The Lord in His graciousness will always be available to be our guide even to death!
****************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For this is God, Our God forever and ever; He will be our guide Even to death." (Psalm 48:14 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Lord right from ages past has made Himself available to be our guide in the journey of destiny. With various evidences around us we all know that this earth is not ours. Hence, we will all surely die and become like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again (2Sam14:14).

If the destiny of a man will not fail he must allow God the author of man's destiny to guide him. The will of God you know and His word made available to you on daily basis is meant to make you run the journey of destiny successfully.

As we go on in life be mindful of the fact that the Lord is committed to guiding us, till we reach that blissful shore, where the angels wait to join us in praising God forevermore. In the midst of trials, temptation, strive, suffering, storms of life associated with this life never forget that God the author of life is your ultimate guide.

Meditation: Will you allow God to guide you?

Dear Lord, be my guide in the journey of destiny in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis: Your run in destiny is not successful until you allow God to guide you unto the eternal blissful shore!

Have a Delightful Week!

Focus: Everything is alright

The word for today
The right attitude towards every situation of life is to believe that everything will be all right. Irrespective of whatever betide do not lose confidence in what God can do!
****************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Run to meet her and ask her, 'Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?' Everything is all right," she said."(2 Kings 4:26 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this life, we will be faced with several issues which will tend to make us give up on our good dreams and God's promises. Again, you must be mindful of the fact that you will only live successfully and peacefully by faith alone. No matter what your situation is telling do not forget what God has told you.

You must be optimistic about life; not because of what you have, the resources at your disposal, perception of a bright future but confidence in what God can do and what He says He will do. The woman in our text affirmed that everything is all right despite the death of her son. Her affirmation became her experience.

Nothing is wrong with you as long as you remain faithful to God to walk in his ways. Everything happening to you is working for you and for your good. Make things right in your world through faith in the word of God!

Meditation: Is everything alright with you?

Dear Lord, I believe in what you can do; everything is alright with me in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis: Everything will be alright with you as long as you agree it is by faith in God's word!

Have a Peaceful Worship Experience!

Focus: The Abuse of Power

The word for today
The fact that God gave you power does not change the fact that all power belongs to God. Whenever a man abuses the power given to him, he has forgotten or chosen not to acknowledge the fact that all power belongs to God!
****************************************
Scriptural Reference
"God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God."(Psalm 62:11 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is no man the Lord did not give a measure of power and authority in every domain of life. The first and foremost power given to you is the power of your will. Each time you decide to act contrary to God's will for your life, you have succeeded in abusing the power of your will.

Also, the Lord in His mercy places men in the position of authority so as to establish His counsel in every domain of life. Whenever you discover that you have power to exercise authority over people be mindful of the fact that you are under a great test of character and humility.

At a point our Lord Jesus had the power to send legions of angels against those who came to arrest Him but He did not do so. This, we must learn in every domain of our placement. We all know what Elijah did! What is the gain of a man who uses his power against the less privileged? The power you have is meant to strengthen the weak, heal the sick, bound up the injured, bring back the strayed, seek for the lost and rule with love. Anything short of these is an abuse of power.

Meditation: Do you live your life acknowledging the fact that power belongs to God?

Dear Lord, as I increase, help me never to forget that all power belongs to you in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis: A man will abuse the power given to him until he acknowledges that power belongs to God!

Have a Graceful Week Ahead!

Focus: God's Testimony about Men

The word for today
In the depths of God's heart lies a profound understanding of every individual. Your daily lifestyle reflects God's perception of you, surpassing what others may say or think about you!
****************************************
Scriptural Reference:
"Then the LORD said to Satan, 'Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?" (Job 1:8 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Regardless of your personal thoughts or feelings about life, your experiences, or your expectations, one undeniable truth remains: God holds a distinct view of your life. Your actions, attitudes, and approach to spirituality, ministry, and relationships with others speak volumes about your character and your potential in God's eyes.

Through careful observation of Job's life, God expressed His pride in Job's uniqueness among all of His creation. God testified that Job was blameless, upright, and had a deep reverence for Him. This testimony does not come from mere human understanding but from God Himself, who intimately knows the heart and future of every individual. In the case of David, God declared him to be a man after His own heart, possessing the qualities of a good shepherd and the bravery to protect God's people in critical times. For Moses, God acknowledged him as the meekest among all men, likely due to his humble leadership of the stubborn Israelites and his willingness to allow God to work through him. In the case of Abraham, God saw him as a trustworthy friend, someone with whom He could share His plans and who had the potential to carry forward God's legacy through his descendants.

It is crucial to be mindful of the way you live because your lifestyle influences God's disposition toward you. Your choices, character, and faithfulness shape God's perception of you and determine the depth of His involvement in your life. Seek to align your actions and attitudes with God's desires, knowing that His testimony about you carries immense significance.

Meditation: What is the perception of God about you?

Dear Lord, help me to live a life that pleases You, one that reflects Your values and aligns with Your will in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis: Your lifestyle speaks volumes to God about your character and potential. Strive to live in a manner that brings honor and glory to His name.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Focus: The Commitment to love

The word for today
You need total commitment to love constantly. The real proof of every true love is sacrifice!
****************************************
Scriptural Reference:
"Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would offer all the goods of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned and despised." (Song of Solomon 8:7 AMP).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love is the bedrock of every successful relationship. It is the most important virtue that keeps the fire of every passion alive. When a man is slack in his commitment towards something, the missing link is love. Naturally, a man will give just anything to whatever he is passionately inclined to.

The attribute called love distinguishes itself from lust in that it is patient, kind, not self-seeking, not easily angered, not rude, it does not delight in evil nor keep a record of wrongdoings (1Cor 13:4-7). Your primary assignment in marriage, relationships, ministry, and any domain of placement is to be committed to love as expected by God.

Meditation: Are you committed to love as expected by God?

Dear Lord, give me the heart of love in in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis: Life is not meant to be complicated if all men will be committed to love as expected by God!

Have a Gracious Tuesday!

Focus: A Glimpse into the Future

The word for today
You can only become who God intends you to be if you envision it and actively walk in the direction of its fulfillment. Your vision shapes your experiences and ultimately determines your destiny!
****************************************
Scriptural Reference:
"Moses gave the men these instructions as he sent them out to explore the land: "Go northward through the Negev into the hill country. See what the land is like and find out whether the people living there are strong or weak, few or many." (Numbers 13:17-18 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God has a habit of revealing glimpses of the future to His people, allowing them to catch a glimpse of what lies ahead—the blessings and challenges that await them. For instance, He instructed Abraham to count the stars and envision the land He promised him, assuring him that whatever he saw would be given to him. These visions indeed became a reality.

Similarly, when the Israelites were on their way to the promised land, God instructed them to send spies to explore the land and gain a vision of what lay before them. This vision served to mentally and physically prepare them for the journey. Through the spies' findings, they discovered that the land truly flowed with milk and honey, but it was also inhabited by giants. Unfortunately, ten of the spies focused more on the challenges rather than the blessings, leading to a negative outlook and a belief that possessing the promised land was impossible.

Every vision has two dimensions: the blessings that represent the possibilities and the challenges that pose obstacles to its fulfillment. Your perception of the vision determines your experience. Those who saw only impossibility never made it to the promised land. It's important to understand that God's blessings don't simply fall into your lap. They require your active participation and cooperation. Every vision you have for your life and destiny will face challenges, and it is by overcoming these challenges that your vision will come to pass and bless you.

Meditation: How do you perceive the challenges in your vision, and does your vision align with God's plan for your life?

Dear Lord, grant us the discernment to align our visions with Your plan, and strengthen us to overcome challenges on the path to fulfillment in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis: The cooperation of man is essential for the realization of God's vision; trust in His guidance and overcome challenges to receive His blessings.

Focus: The Thoughts of Peace

The word for today
!Everything the Lord allows you to pass through is tailored toward your peace. The expected end of your ordeal in the heart of God is not evil but a glorious future and hope!
****************************************
Scriptural Reference:
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The word of God considered today, is the message of the Lord to His people in captivity. The Lord allowed their enemy to overpower them and take them captive but yet His word to them was that His thoughts towards them are that of peace. Whatever the Lord allows you to suffer, experience hardness, delay or loss; His thought towards you is peace.

There is a beast in every man called the sinful nature which is very stubborn and will never submit to God's will. Hence, the Lord sponsors various situations of life to bring us to the end of ourselves to tame this beast. Do not waste the dealings of the Lord in your life; this is because there is a purpose God wants to achieve with every situation of your life. There is an offence to be avenged when your obedience is complete. Cooperate with Him to have the life he wants to give you!

Meditation: What are your thoughts towards God?

Dear Lord, fulfil your purpose in my life in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis:
The thoughts of the Lord over you in every situation you are passing through is to ensure that you have a future and hope!

Have a Blessed Thursday!

Focus: A Trustworthy Man

The word for today
The search for a man ultimately centers around finding someone who can be trusted. In any realm where trust falters, life loses its allure!
****************************************
Scriptural Reference:
"Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man." (Proverbs 3:3-4 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every individual created by God earnestly seeks someone they can trust in every relationship. Regardless of how flawed a person may be, when it comes to matters of destiny and the need for security, they will seek someone who is trustworthy. Whether seeking a spouse, in-laws, teachers, pastors, politicians, lawyers, colleagues, doctors, or professionals in various fields, the fundamental criterion is trustworthiness.

A person becomes a source of curse when they fail the test of trust. A lack of trustworthiness makes an individual dangerous and exposes their sphere of influence to the enemy's destructive acts, hindering blessings and prosperity. In reality, no one can be fully trusted except someone who has a significant inclination to obey God at all costs. It is only through the presence of God in a person's life that they can be truly trustworthy. This is because the innate nature of humanity tends to resist submitting to the will of God.

When the devil seeks to ruin someone's future, he often leads them to violate trust. The breach of trust takes various forms, including breaches in brotherhood, friendship, marital relationships, contracts, confidentiality, privacy, security, ethics, duties, and promises. These breaches manifest when trust is betrayed, serving as a potent tool for the enemy to hinder blessings and prosperity.

In essence, trustworthiness is intricately linked to one's relationship with God, for it is His presence that shapes a person into someone dependable and reliable.

Meditation: Are you trustworthy?

Dear Lord, may Your presence continually shape me into a trustworthy and dependable person in all aspects of life in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis:
The search for a man is fundamentally a quest for trustworthiness. In essence, trustworthiness is deeply intertwined with an individual's connection with God.

Have a Glorious Wednesday!

Focus: Your Altar in the Journey of Destiny

The word for today
Your altar in the journey of destiny reflects the depth of your connection with God, and it serves as a tangible symbol of your readiness to fulfill your destiny. Failing to establish an altar for a prophecy or God's promises can leave them susceptible to manipulation!
****************************************
Scriptural Reference:
"Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, "To your descendants I will give this land." And there he built an altar to the LORD, who had appeared to him." (Genesis 12:7 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God's promises require active participation and cooperation from us; they do not unfold automatically. While God's purpose will undoubtedly come to fruition, the vessel through which it manifests can change based on our response.

It's crucial to approach every aspect of destiny with seriousness and establish a strong connection with God. We must never presume that we possess the qualifications to fulfill God's promises independently; it is only through His grace that His word manifests in our lives. Moreover, every positive prophecy over our lives will attract opposition from the enemy, who will attempt to hinder us from entering into our destiny or experiencing God's promises fully. We see this illustrated in the accounts of Christ's birth and Moses' infancy, where the evil one sought to thwart God's plans.

When God speaks a word concerning your life through prophecy, it's not a time for complacency but an opportunity to establish an altar of dedication and commitment. This principle is evident in the lives of Abraham (Gen 12:7), Jacob (Gen 35:1), Moses (Exo 24:4), Joshua (Josh 8:30), and Gideon (Jud 6:24), who all built altars in response to God's promises and prophecies. Their actions symbolized their unwavering commitment and gratitude toward God's assurances, setting a precedent for believers today.

Meditation: What does your altar look like in response to God's promises and prophecies?

Dear Lord, I receive the grace to be committed to the fulfillment of Your purpose; my life will not be disconnected from your purpose in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis:
Intentionally build altars of commitment in response to every prophecy or promise from God. Maintain a steadfast connection with God until His word is fully realized.

Have a Fulfilled Worship Experience!

Focus: Every Individual You Encounter

The word for today
Every person created by God faces unique challenges in life. The external appearances, such as the clothes we wear and the smiles we put on, often serve as a mask for the difficulties we encounter!
****************************************
Scriptural Reference:
"Be careful! Watch out for attacks from the Devil, your great enemy. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for some victim to devour. Take a firm stand against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are." (1Peter 5:7-8
NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is important to recognize that just as we have our own issues and struggles, so does every other individual. What sets us apart from one another are the specific challenges we face.

In this journey of life, we come across individuals who may be physically disabled but possess remarkable abilities that surpass those of able-bodied individuals. Some people who seem to lack material possessions find joy and fulfillment because they have discovered contentment in their relationship with God. On the other hand, there are those who appear to have everything, yet they lack inner satisfaction. Some individuals enjoy good health but struggle financially, while others may have financial resources but face health challenges.

Therefore, it is essential to understand that every person you encounter has experienced their fair share of life's challenges. Some are currently going through difficult times, while others have yet to face their trying moments. There is a lot happening within the hearts and lives of the people you see around you. Instead of discouraging, harming, or tearing down others, it is far better to be a source of support and encouragement. Rather than passing judgment, extend a helping hand to those who may need assistance in improving their circumstances.

Do not allow the words and opinions of others to deter you or lead you astray from the right path in life. Remember that no one truly knows the depth of what you have been through or are currently facing. No one fully comprehends the unique journey and destiny that you carry. Therefore, maintain a close relationship with God, the author of your life. Trust in Him, practice patience, and rely solely on the Lord as you continue on your journey.

Meditation: Are you a blessing and a pillar of support to men around you?

Dear Lord, bless me more to bless my world; give me compassion and wisdom to encourage those around me who are struggling in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis:
Remember that every person is fighting battles you know nothing about. Build others up with grace rather than tearing them down with condemnation. Focus on showing mercy as God has shown you!

Have a Refreshed Weekend!

God has been so good to us in this country, He has given us several good things even with our bad attitude to everything. God whatever sin we have committed that make Nigerians continue to elect bad leaders; please forgive us!

Focus: Don't waste your Consecration

The word for today
Whatever a man does in his service to God which makes provision for the works of the flesh is not acceptable to Him. The devil will not hinder a man from rendering various services but he will ensure that they are not acceptable!
****************************************
Scriptural Reference:
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service." (Romans 12:1NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What makes your service to God a sacrifice indeed is that it fulfills His purpose and brings Glory to Him. Our service remains a fruitless effort and mere activity if God will not accept it. A service may appear good but may not be reasonable because it defiles holiness and righteousness.

God will only reward righteousness, holiness and purity. As far as God is concerned 99.99% obedience is a failure. No matter the percentage of your obedience to God you have not obeyed until your obedience is complete. Moses wasted 40 days and night consecration on the account of anger against the sin of the children of Israel (Exo 32:19). Samson wasted the investment of God over his life on the lap of Delilah(Judges 13).

Jesus said the consecration of several men who will claim to have preached, healed and performed miracles in the name of the Lord will be wasted because their services will be regarded as iniquity on the account of the work of the flesh (Matt 7:23). What is the essence of becoming a minister of God at any level of operation if the position you assume will make you a professional thief, manipulator, adulterer, son of perdition and a slave to mammon? You must come to the end of yourself and present yourself as a living sacrifice to be acceptable to God.

Meditation: Are you a living sacrifice?

Dear Lord, Help me to be a living sacrifice; my life your glory will declare in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis:
Every service with an element of the works of the flesh is an abomination to God!

Have a Dignified Thursday!

Focus: The Simple Assignment of a Man of God

The word for today
A ministry is fulfilled when we successfully lead people to God Himself. Failure in ministry is identified when individuals are directed to human figures and lack a genuine connection with God!
**********************************
Scriptural Reference:
"And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." (John.17.3 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The fulfillment of ministry involves bringing people into a deep and personal knowledge of God. People should be equipped to stand before God, and obediently carry out His will. While guidance from spiritual leaders is essential, it must ultimately steer individuals towards God. The authority of a man of God should not be perceived as final; instead, it should point to God. Even if people trust and follow human leaders, the emphasis should be on recognizing God's presence within them.

When people are drawn solely to human leaders, it can make God less appealing to them, as the vulnerabilities and strengths of human leaders become apparent.

As John articulated, "He must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:30, ESV). The focus of ministry should be on knowing and honoring God rather than exalting human leaders. The true impact of ministry is evident when individuals can stand independently in their faith, recognizing that man is not omniscient, omnipotent, or omnipresent, but God is. Our success in ministry lies in enabling individuals to know and honor God autonomously. Those who ministered to figures like Joseph, Daniel, and his three friends exemplified impactful ministry, as these individuals knew God intimately, and their lives were a testament to His glory.

Meditation: Are you bringing men to God or to yourself?

Dear Lord, help us as leaders to always direct people towards You. Grant us humility to decrease so that You may increase in our lives and ministries in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis:
The essence of ministry lies in leading individuals to know and honor God independently, with God Himself as the ultimate focus of our endeavors!

Have an Outstanding Worship Experience!

Focus: Like the Mustard Seed

The word for today
Every Human life starts in a little way. It is the will and the ultimate desire of God for you to grow progressively with time!
**********************************
Scriptural Reference:
"He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches."
(Matthew 13: 31-32 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To be small in any aspect of life is not a curse but to remain small with respect to time. You are not healthy until you grow progressively with time in various aspects of life. The Lord wants to see you grow from the level you are. His ultimate expectation for you is that you should be a refuge for men and a blessing to several generations.

Even though you appear small today the Lord sees you like a very big tree with many branches providing a cover for many spiritually, academically, financially, maritally, professionally; this is the kingdom of God! You must submit yourself to His will to experience Him in the land of the living. See that you grow under God from being a liability to an asset in every aspect of life.

Meditation: Are you growing as required by God in every facet of life?

Dear Lord, take away every hindrance to my growth in every aspect of life in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis:
Even though you are small today, with God taking the wheel of your life, you are a great tree meant to be a blessing to many generations!

Have a Graceful Weekend!

Mahmood is explaining as National prayer day for him draws nearer. The curses flying are overwhelming already. We are stuck with this APC government. Let's beg God to have mercy and give them wisdom and will to take steps that will reduce the hardship in the Land!

Focus: The Dealings of God

The word for today
By nature, man is not inherently humble; it often takes various situations and experiences in life to humble him. Your ordeal in life is meant to teach a lesson by experience!
**********************************
Scriptural Reference:
"So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD. (Deuteronomy 8:3 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Throughout history, we see God orchestrating events and leading people through challenging circumstances to teach them valuable lessons. For instance, the Lord guided the Israelites through the wilderness, not only to sustain them but also to demonstrate that true sustenance comes from more than just physical bread. Your own struggles and hardships in life have a purpose — they are meant to impart wisdom and understanding through firsthand experience.

While many individuals may propose various philosophies about life and attempt to influence people to live by them, God has consistently brought humanity to the end of themselves. He has shown that unless He is the foundation of our endeavors, all our efforts are in vain (Psalm 127:1-2). It is a reminder that no individual can achieve lasting greatness on their own. God has silenced mighty rulers like Pharaoh and formidable adversaries like Goliath to serve as warnings, reminding us that true strength, grace, and resources come from Him alone.

It is important to realize that no one remains great forever. When life humbles you and presents challenges, it is crucial to humble yourself before God and not shy away from the lessons and experiences that come your way. When faced with difficulties, know that relying solely on your own strength and expertise may not be sufficient to overcome them. Instead, let every situation draw you closer to God and prompt you to seek His guidance and assistance.

Meditation: Reflect upon the ways in which God has humbled you or taught you valuable lessons through the situations you have faced in life.

Dear Lord, Help me to be humble and surrender myself to your plans and purposes in Jesus' name! Amen!

Emphasis
Humility and dependence on God are essential in navigating life's challenges. Be mindful of the fact that your strength and wisdom are limited, but God's power and grace are boundless!

Have a Fruitful Wednesday!

Focus: You are Not Forgotten

The word for today
The Lord is ever mindful of His promises over your life. All your desires will be met in his own way and at his own time!
**********************************
Scriptural Reference:
"He is [earnestly] mindful of His covenant and forever it is imprinted on His heart, the word which He commanded and established to a thousand generations" (Psalm 105:8 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes a man can have a feeling that God has forgotten him when he considers his experience in relation to the good fortune the people around him are experiencing. In the actual sense God has a calender for everything he does per time. When your time comes, your miracle will be fresh and you will come to a better understanding of the way of the Lord in a practical term.

Those things you see God doing in the lives of men, He will also do even more for you according to His will. In the moments where you feel lost, alone, and crushed under your anxiety; remember that though it may seem at the moment that He has forgotten you, the truth is that He has not. Live your entire life in the reality of His promises for you.

Are you living in reality of His promises for your life?

Prayer Point
Lord! Help me to live in the premises and reality of your promises for my life in Jesus name. Amen!

Emphasis
The Lord is ever mindful of His promises for your life!

Have a Fulfilled Week Ahead!

Focus: Take Care of your Body

The word for today
No matter how great your mandate and the anointing of God upon your life may appear to be; the fact remains that you need your body to be who the Lord wants you to be. The way you use your body will determine your pace and how far you will go in life!
**********************************
Scriptural Reference:
"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. ( 3John1:2 KJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Your body is the vehicle conveying you to your destination in destiny. The ultimate desire of God for you is that you experience prosperity in three critical aspects of life: Physical or material prosperity, Spiritual prosperity and prosperity in terms of good health.

Even though you need self-denial in terms of discipline and putting your body into subjection to fulfil your mandate in life; the fact remains that you must cooperate with every natural law that supports good health.

One of the most important ways your life can be useful to God is to stay healthy. Taking care of your body is an important aspect of your service to God. There are several men with promising futures whose dreams and aspirations for God and their individual lives were cut off due to the manner they handled their bodies.

Take a rest and sleep when you should, give yourself exercise, keep your environment clean, eat good food and treat any ailment in your body. Learn how to retreat periodically from your daily routine activities. You can only enjoy the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living when you are healthy!

What priority do you give to taking care of your body?

Lord! I receive the grace to prosper and be in health, even as my soul prospers in Jesus name. Amen!

Emphasis
The Lord wants you to stay healthy to fulfil His purpose on earth!

Have a Prosperous Worship Experience!

Focus: Be Deliberate

The word for today
Life can take unexpected turns when you are not deliberate with your actions. The key to shaping your life's experience is being intentional in aligning your life with God's plan for you!
**********************************
Scriptural Reference:
"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things." (Philippians 4:8 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
A person's life gains value when it aligns with what God desires and embraces the life He intends to provide. Deliberately seek to understand God's will for your life and walk in it. Identify your destiny's path and actively work towards fulfilling your purpose. Deliberately allow God to shape you into a person characterized by humility, holiness, righteousness, selflessness, discipline, love, care, and submission to Him in every life situation.

Failing to be deliberate in matters concerning your destiny leaves it to chance. Joseph deliberately obeyed God by refusing to sleep with his master's wife. Daniel intentionally rejected the King's food, choosing to obey God despite potential consequences. Be deliberate in engaging with things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, and virtuous—qualities worthy of praise.

Are you deliberate about the issues of your destiny?

Heavenly Father, guide me to discern Your will for my life, grant me the strength to be deliberate in fulfilling my purpose in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis:
You will only take charge of your destiny when you are deliberate about your actions!

Have a Wonderful Weekend!

PissInside:
Overrated super chickens.

How they got to the finals is still a mystery.

No playmaker,No goalscoring machine.

Just pure luck.

Congrats to them though.

Success most of the time is not the function of labour alone but of favour. When a man lacks luck or favour he labour in vain. This is where the God factor comes in everything a man does.

Focus: The Determinant of Success in Life

The word for today:
!You need more than strength and experience to succeed in life. It is not enough to labour; outstanding success happens when God has mercy on you and adds favour to your labour!
**********************************
Scriptural Reference:
"And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you the power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. " (Deuteronomy 8:18 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God's mercy and favour are the flavour of a man's labour if he must succeed. It is evident that some people are strong and can labour hard but with nothing to show for it. Imagine a man who always rises early but eats the bread of sorrow after hard labour. A man will not succeed until God empowers him to succeed.

The disposition of God to your labour in every aspect of life is an important factor that determines success. That you adopt a strategy that worked out yesterday does not make it a model for today's challenge. You must desire God's favour and acknowledge Him in everything you do. You can only be so sure of better days ahead if and only if you will be favoured by God. Don't neglect or trivialize the God factor in every effort you put in place if you must succeed!

+ Do you acknowledge the God factor in your pursuit?

Lord! Have mercy on me and let me be favoured; crown my efforts with outstanding success in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis:
When God empowers a man to succeed that is when his life will be characterized with good success!

Have a Successful Thursday!

Focus: Count the Stars

The word for today
Whatever God tells you, even when they appear impossible, they will surely come to pass. Keep track of His promises and believe Him to do His good pleasure in your life!
**********************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then He brought him outside and said, "Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them." And He said to him, "So shall your descendants be." (Genesis 15:5 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God gave Abraham an instruction to count the stars at a point in the journey of his destiny. Counting the stars looked impossible and unbelievable based on the peculiarity of the situation of Abraham. Nevertheless, the Lord brought His word to pass. Today the sons of Abraham are uncountable.

Each time the Lord in His mercy reveals His intentions in any situation be it for your life or the lives of men attached to you or a corporate gathering of His people believe His word for they shall surely come to pass. Even when it appears impossible you need not worry about it, the Lord knows how to work out His good pleasure.

The strength of God is always at its best in every situation that looks impossible. Allow God to take glory over the situation of your life. Always count the stars by faith and His word will come to pass.

+ Do you believe in the promises of God for your life?

Lord! Do that which you promised to do in my life in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis
To count the stars is to believe in the fact that the word of God will come to pass no matter how impossible it appears to be!

Focus: Mind Your Business

The word for today
Don't invest your life, precious time, and resources into the ministry of criticism. Allow God to judge everyone according to their deeds!
**********************************
Scriptural Reference
"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? . . . first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.( Matthew 7:3-5 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everything you see men doing is a prototype of what you can also do; rather than criticizing, examine yourself to see if you are doing the same thing in a different dimension. Explore your strength in removing every speck in your eyes. Let the speck in the eyes of men remind you always of the need to repent from the shortcomings in your life. The best you can do in this end time; is to stand like Joseph, David, and Daniel of our time.

Don't be eaten up by what others are doing. The dimension of your judgement towards others will also set a benchmark for your own life for judgement. Don't be too quick to criticize men based on their appearance either in words or in deeds. At best, discuss with them and pray for them even as you commit your life to God in that respect!

+ Are your eyes free from specks?

Lord! I receive the grace to place much priority on important issues of my spiritual life in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis:
Every man will meet God and face Judgement. There are pressing issues that require more attention in your life than engaging in the ministry of criticism!

Have a Refreshed Weekend!
