Dtruthspeaker:There is no argument against the truth. You are created for His purpose. God chose your parents and the way you look for a purpose. You are not a mistake and even the current situation of your life is according to His plan be it a reward for obedience or a consequence for disobedience! Shalom |
phorget:Is your creation a mistake? |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [22-03-2023] Focus: God Does Not Make Mistakes The word for today Everything about your life is working for you and your good. God is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscience; He does not make mistakes! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8.28 NIV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some things are not in the capacity of men to choose for themselves. You cannot choose your parents, origin, age, sex, height, or form of your body. Irrespective of the nature of these attributes as far as your life is concerned, the fact remains that God does not make mistakes; you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Also, in terms of those things the Lord made you pass through so far in life whether as a result of your obedience or disobedience to God's or life's principles; the Lord did not make mistakes; everything He allows in your life either as punishment (Psalm 118:18) or process of character development, is for your good. Every gift from the Lord to you is never a mistake but according to plan. Sometimes as men, we will not but come to the point of asking questions about what we cannot change. Trust and believe in the Lord, keep faith alive, and seek His face over everything you cannot change in your life. Can you say God is fair? Lord! Perfect that which concerns me; work out your good pleasure in my life in Jesus' name. Amen! Emphasis: There is no mistake as far as the issue of your life is concerned; everything is working for you and your good! Have a Graceful Wednesday! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [20-03-2023] Focus: The Water that Satisfies The word for today Real satisfaction can only be found in God. Engaging in a frantic race of life does not give satisfaction but rather increases care and worries about life! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life." (John 4:14 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The fundamental desire of every creation of God in the land of the living is to find satisfaction in every aspect of life. Each time you see men going to and fro in life they are seeking rest for their souls. Even though life provides waters in different dimensions to quench the unending thirst of men the fact remains that fountains that come from different quarters of the earth mock our souls; the more we drink the fainter we grow and the more our keener thirst endures. God has made an offer of salvation and His word which is the bread of life. The stream from Calvary still flows to bless, cleanse and heal. And whoever, will make himself available and submit to God's will in life have a new life, rest, and satisfaction in God. In all, you seek in life to find God and you will have contentment and satisfaction. In your pursuit in life, what have you gotten that is enough? Bread of heaven fills me till I want no more in Jesus' name. Amen! Emphasis: You can never be satisfied with anything until you find God in it! Have a Dignified week ahead! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [19-03-2023] Focus: Keep your Eyes On the Goal The word for today If your race on the journey of destiny will be successful, you must lay aside every weight of sin and keep your eyes on the goal. The men ahead of us, who were successful in the race of life did not succeed without overcoming distractions and issues of life! ************************************ Scriptural Reference " Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. (Hebrew 12:1NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The ultimate strategy of the devil over every man in the journey of destiny is not to keep him out of the race but to distract him and ensure that he runs against the rule bearing the weight of sin. All issues that we are battling in our lives as humans are meant to validate our stand in the race of life. As you proceed in destiny be mindful of the fact that you will roll up grades of trials, and temptations and you will cross the bridge of strife. You will find obstructions, storms of life, and several issues associated with the human race on earth. Keep focus and keep moving towards the goal according to God's will for you. We cannot but lay aside every weight and run with endurance the race set before us if we must reach the goal in the manner with which the cloud of witnesses (heroes of faith), who also had a share of their ordeal in this life, did. + Where do you keep your eyes? Lord! I receive the grace to make the best use of every opportunity that comes my way in Jesus' name. Amen! Emphasis Where you keep your eyes determines what you will see and achieve as well as your destination! Have a Dignified Worship Experience! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [15-03-2023] Focus: Let the Word of God guide you. The word for today Everything will look okay until you do it. Let the word of God guide you in every action and inaction! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path." (Psalm 119:105 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There will only be light on your path in every facet of life when the word of God guides you. No matter how wonderful, peaceful, and smooth what you are doing appears to be, you must be sure that it is in line with the will of God. Some people came to a point of "had I known" in their journey of destiny because they were deceived by the fact that everything was alright until the consequences of their actions caught up with them. When David slept with Uriah's wife, things appeared good, but he faced the consequences. Gehazi could never believe that collecting Naaman's gift would bring leprosy into his lineage. Saul was thinking about making sacrifices to God at the expense of God's instructions for him; this single act cost him the kingdom. Achan was happy when he successfully took the cursed things, not knowing that he had succeeded in putting an end to his own life. A man will only miss it each time he fails to walk in the light of God's word. It takes just a simple mistake to mar a man's life on the journey of destiny. Save your life, career, marriage, academics, and other aspects of your life by honouring God's word before you take any action! Are you walking and working in the light of God's word? Lord! Please help me to always walk and work in the light of your word, in Jesus' name. Amen! Emphasis You will not know the consequences of action until you do it! Have a gracious Wednesday! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [14-03-2023] Focus: Don't reject God's offer The word for today Acting contrary to God's will is an act done to reject His blessing in your life. Every act of compromise undermines the plan and promises of God for your life! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble, And the flame consumes the chaff, So their root will be as rottenness, And their blossom will ascend like dust; Because they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts, And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel." (Isaiah 5:24 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As humans, we are prone to making choices that are contrary to God's will. These choices often come with consequences that may lead us away from the blessings that God intends for our lives. Every time we compromise our values and beliefs, we inadvertently undermine the plan and promises of God for our lives. By rejecting God's word, we set ourselves up for a painful price. King Saul suffered the consequences of rejecting God's word. He was a king who had been anointed by God, but he failed to comply with God's instructions. As a result, he lost God's favor and was eventually rejected by Him. It's important to realize that every sin we commit is not only a sin against ourselves, but it's also a sin against our dreams, aspirations, and ultimately, God's plan for us. God has given us a plan and a purpose for our lives, and every time we choose to act contrary to His will, we delay the manifestation of His blessings in our lives. However, when we cultivate the habit of obeying God, we position ourselves for a life of abundance and fulfillment. By walking in obedience, we align ourselves with God's plan for us, and we open ourselves up to the limitless possibilities that He has in store for us. In the end, nothing can be compared with what God can offer us. His way is wisdom, and what He gives us is always the best. As we trust in Him and follow His commands, we can rest assured that He will guide us toward a life of purpose and meaning. Do you honour God's word? Lord! Give us the courage and conviction to walk in obedience to Your commands in Jesus' name. Amen! Emphasis Going against the will of God leads to a rejection of His blessings in our lives, and every compromise made undermines His plans and promises for us! Have a blessed Tuesday! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [12-03-2023] Focus: Grace: God in our race. The word for today Grace is God's presence guiding, empowering, and comforting us. It brings peace and joy during trials, making life meaningful as we fulfill His purposes! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me." ( 1Corinthians.15:10 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Grace is an essential component of the Christian faith, providing the strength and guidance necessary to navigate life's challenges. It is the unmerited favor of God that empowers us to fulfill our purpose and achieve our goals. Without grace, we would stumble and fall at every hurdle, unable to progress in our journey. But with grace, we can run with endurance the race set before us, knowing that God is with us every step of the way. It is the grace of God that sustains us in times of trial and gives us hope for the future. When we feel weak, grace gives us strength. When we feel lost, grace gives us direction. When we make mistakes, grace gives us forgiveness. It is the reason why we can rise after every fall and keep pressing forward toward our goals. In essence, grace is the divine enablement that we need to run the race of life with excellence and to finish strong. It is the reason why we can confidently declare, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13). Therefore, let us run our race with the grace of God, knowing that He is with us every step of the way. What can you do without the grace of God? Lord! Make grace available for us in our destiny walk in Jesus' name. Amen! Emphasis Grace is what we need in our race. Grace is the reason why we can never be weary in our race. Grace is simply God in our race! Have a Gracious Worship Experience! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [09-03-2023] Focus: An Idle Heart The word for today The key to living a life free from sin is to allow the word of God to take preeminence in your heart. When your heart is idle the evil one rules over it to perform its enterprise! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You." (Psalm 119:11NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When you make God's word the foundation of your thoughts and actions, you create an environment in which sin cannot thrive. However, when your heart is idle or filled with things that are not of God, the evil one can gain a foothold and work out its own agenda in your life. The importance of the heart cannot be overstated. It is the source of all that we do and say, and it is the place where our true motives and desires are revealed. When the will of God is the foundation of our heart, by the virtue of God's word, we can do His will and walk in righteousness. In Joshua 1:8, God instructs Joshua to meditate on His word day and night as a prerequisite for success as they advance toward the Promised Land. This same instruction applies to us today. We must get busy with issues concerning the will of God and allow His word to shape our hearts and minds. As we meditate on God's word and allow it to take root in our hearts, we develop a deep and meaningful relationship with Him. The goal of hiding God's word in our hearts is not just to avoid sin, but to draw closer to Him and become more like Him in every aspect of our lives. Is the word of God in your heart? Lord! Let your word take preeminence in my heart in Jesus' name. Amen!!! Emphasis When the word of God rules in your heart you will not sin against God! Have a Gracious Thursday! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [06-03-2023] Focus: Everything in life is a privilege. The word for today Life is beautiful when you know and understand that nothing in life is forced upon you. Even though you must try and put forth good effort to get the best in whatever you do, the fact is that you must never forget that everything in life is a privilege! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!" (Psalm 150:6 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The breath we have is what has allowed us to be who we are and have the hope of becoming who we want to be. It is the ultimate gift of God to all mankind. As long as a man has breath in him, there is no limit to what he can become. Hence, nothing in life is compulsory but the breath of God in you. You don't need to be sad or become dejected because of anything in life; enjoy every moment of your privilege on earth while praising God. The fact about life is that the beautiful future we are looking forward to may come or not; we are created to worship and fulfill God's purpose as long as we live, and we must always do so. Don't allow anything to shake you; be always happy even as you praise God always, and you will never have trouble. Do you praise God as a living soul? Lord! I thank you for the privilege of being a living soul; I worship you for who you are and what I am in Jesus' name. Amen! Emphasis: You must praise the Lord as long as you have breath! Have a blessed week ahead! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [05-03-2023] Focus: Destinies are Connected The word for today When your destiny is tied to someone in any dimension, you must humble yourself and avail yourself to walk and work together. If two people must walk and work for outstanding success, they must agree in purpose, principle, and character! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Can two walk together unless they are agreed?" (Amos 3:3 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Destiny is not fulfilled in isolation. At a point in time, you have a father, mother, brother, husband, wife, in-laws, cousin, aunty, niece, nephew, boss, neighbours, and friends. Destinies are connected in ways that we may not fully understand. Every person we encounter in life is an opportunity for growth, development, and connection. Our lives are intertwined, and we all play a part in the larger story of humanity. Whether we realize it or not, our actions and choices have an impact on those around us. The people we interact with can inspire us, challenge us, and even change the course of our lives. Likewise, we have the power to do the same for others. When we understand that our destinies are connected, we begin to see the importance of relationships in our lives. We realize that we are not meant to go through life alone and that we need the help and support of others to achieve our goals. It is important to remember that relationships are not always easy. We may not always agree with those we are connected to, but if we are to walk and work together, we must find common ground. Agreement of purpose, principles, and character is required for success and breakthrough in collaboration with a destiny helper. How do you handle your relationship? Lord! Help me to recognize the relationships and connections that you have placed in my life for a greater purpose. Guide me to walk in agreement with those who are meant to be a part of my journey in Jesus' name. Amen!!! Emphasis: Our connections, which God places in our lives for a reason, play a vital role in inspiring, encouraging, and challenging us to be our best selves, and ultimately in fulfilling our purpose and destiny! Have a spirit-filled worship experience! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [04-03-2023] Focus: The Marriage that Works The word for today No marriage works by chance but by choice. Every marriage that works is made to work through conscious and deliberate obedience to God's principle! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you" (John 2:5). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is an underlying principle of God that defines and makes a successful marriage. It is not a function of faith, belief, religion, knowledge of the word of God, or how much you can pray but conscious obedience to God's principle for a successful marriage. There are some unbelievers around us who are enjoying their marriage blissfully not because of the knowledge they have about God but the fact that they either consciously or unconsciously follow the principle laid down by God. Even when your marriage appears to be wrong the fact remains that you are married already; you can correct every lapse by following God's principles. Every marriage starts on a very good note, but challenges are set along the line. When this happens you must submit to do whatever God tells you. His principle is revealed to us as follows: 1. God hates divorce be it physical or logical (Mal 2:16) 2. Husbands must love their wives the way Christ loves the church 3. Wives must submit to their husbands irrespective of who they are and their status (Eph 5:25). Irrespective of your experience in marriage; you will be on the safe side when you do what the Lord tells you. Do you submit yourself to God's Principle for a successful marital experience? Lord! I receive the grace to make my marriage work in Jesus' name. Amen!!! Emphasis: If your marriage must work out to be the epitome of heaven on earth you must always present yourself to do what the Lord tells you! Have a Blissful Weekend! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [02-03-2023] Focus: Don't grow weary in doing good The word for today Putting up the effort to do what is right and sticking to God's principles pays off in significant and long-lasting ways. Even when it does not appear to be advantageous, only good deeds lead to positive experiences in every aspect of life! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart." (Galatians 6:9 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In this corrupt world, it can be tempting to compromise and perpetrate evil for selfish gain. However, we must remember that the wicked will eventually be destroyed. As the Psalmist said in Psalm 92:7, when the wicked sprout up like grass and all men do iniquity flourish, it is for their destruction. Furthermore, King Solomon affirmed in his experience that there are righteous men who perish in their righteousness and there are wicked men who prolong their lives even in their wickedness (Ecclesiastes 7:15). This may seem unfair, but it is important to remember that righteousness is what exalts a nation, and every act of unrighteousness cannot give birth to righteousness. Therefore, let us continue to do what is good and stand by it, even when it seems as if unrighteousness is more beneficial. For in due season, we shall reap our reward if we do not lose heart. + Are weary of doing that which is good? Lord! I receive the grace to do that which is good in Jesus' name. Amen!!! Emphasis: Don't be weary of doing God's will and don't subscribe to doing evil because it appears beneficial in a corrupt world; the prosperity of evil men prepares them for destruction! Have a Blessed Thursday! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ HAPPY NEW MONTH ________________________________ [01-03-2023] Focus: Those Who Know God The word for today The experience of a man is meant to bring God to him beyond the written pages of the scripture. The word of God is not fulfilled until it becomes life! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "But the people who know their God shall prove themselves strong {and} shall stand firm and do exploits [for God]." (Daniel 11:32 AMP). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Many things you read about God and the ones you were told by people will be subject to doubt if you don't know Him by experience. The essence of most of the challenges you face is majorly to make you know God by experience. You cannot confuse someone like Daniel, who stayed in the lion's den for hours without being hurt by the personality of God in His ability to save, or the 3 Hebrews, who came out of the burning, fiery furnace unhurt. Those Israelites who walked across the red sea lived to testify to the mighty act of God. It is not the case that they were told; it happened to them and was written on their behalf to the credit of God's personality. Even so, you have not known God until you know Him by experience. Knowing God through various life experiences teaches you beyond every iota of doubt the real personality of God. If you must advance further in life with great confidence to fulfill your glorious destiny, you must know Him. Don't run away from various dealings meant to reveal more of God's personality to you; always count your blessings and hold to your faith in Him. + What do you know about the God you serve? Do you have faith in Him? Lord! I want more of you. I want to know you beyond the written pages of the scripture in Jesus' name. Amen!!! Emphasis: Knowing God by experience is inevitable if you must do great exploits in the land of the living! Have a glorious Wednesday! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [28-02-2023] Focus: Leprosy of the Mind The word for today A man who cannot stand and live by the truth he knows is leprous in the mind. It is a grievous sin for a man to see evil and call it good out of selfish desire! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter" (Isaiah 5:20 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are several men who shy away from speaking what they know to be the truth for personal or corporate gain. When a man knows the truth and chooses to do otherwise or fails to provide adequate support for it out of selfishness, he is building a leprous mind. The word of the Lord makes it clear in the passage above that misery results from affliction, suffering, and intense mournfulness. It awaits those who call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. A type of mind that rejoices in the face of evil practices, deceit, cheating, corruption, unrighteousness, and all forms of malpractice at any level of life is a leprous mind. A nation can never be great until her people have a mind devoid of leprosy and channel their strength to promote righteousness at all levels of life. What type of mind is your mind? Lord! Make me an agent and a promoter of righteousness in Jesus' name. Amen! Emphasis A man is suffering from leprosy of the mind each time he rejoices in or supports any form of evil for any reason! Have an impressive Tuesday! |

~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [26-02-2023] Focus: The power of oneness The word for today The ultimate strength of believers in Christ Jesus in every spiritual battle is oneness. Whatever divides us weakens us and prepares us for defeat in every facet of life! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me." (John 17:21 AMP) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jesus, in His earthly ministry, for His disciples. He interceded on their behalf, pleading with the Almighty to make them one. Why did He do this? Because He knew that their unity was crucial to their success. Oneness is a powerful force that can move mountains and overcome even the strongest opposition. When people come together with a shared purpose and a united front, nothing can stop them. This is true in both physical and spiritual battles. The enemy of our souls, Satan, knows this all too well. He is always looking for ways to exploit the disunity and division of God's people. We see this played out in the world today. Denominationalism, segregation in beliefs, misinterpretation of the word of God, and variations in the act of worship are just some of the tools that the enemy uses to divide and conquer. Jesus desired that His disciples be one in every way imaginable. He wanted us to be of one mind and one heart, with a shared purpose and mission. He knew that our strength under God would be weakened if we are not united. We must strive for oneness in every area of our lives. We must work to eliminate the things that divide us and focus on the things that unite us. We must be united in word, purpose, principles, ministry, and character. Only then can we truly be effective in our mission to spread the gospel and make disciples. There is power in oneness, and by putting aside differences and working together, we can make a greater impact and overcome the evil ones to advance God's kingdom. + Do you believe there is power in oneness? Oh, Lord! Help us to be united in word, purpose, principles, ministry, and character, and give us the strength to resist the enemy's tactics of division, and to stand firm in faith to bring glory to your name in Jesus' name. Amen! Emphasis Believers' strength is weakened when divided, but when united, they create an unbreakable force that can overcome even the toughest spiritual battles. Have a Gracious worship experience! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [25-02-2023] Focus: A new experience is possible. The word for today Unbelief is a deadly disease that prevents a person from experiencing God's power. Everything the Lord has determined to achieve is unquestionably possible! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "So an officer on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, "Look, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, could this thing be?" And he said, "In fact, you shall see it with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it." (2Kings 7:2 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A new experience is possible. It may be difficult to imagine or even comprehend at times, but the power of God is not limited by our own understanding or expectations. No matter how terrible an experience may be, it can change when God decides to change it. We must not limit the power of God by our own doubts and fears. The word "impossibility" only comes into play when men are the main key players, not God. With God, nothing shall be impossible. The story of Prophet Elisha is a powerful testament to this truth. During an intense famine, he proclaimed abundance and it came to pass, despite seeming like an impossibility. We can learn from this story that we will be shortchanging ourselves if we think that what God has set out to do in our lives, homes, churches, cities, nations, and the world at large can never be possible. God is God because His ways are different from that of men. He operates in ways that are beyond our human understanding, and we must trust in His sovereignty and power. A new experience is possible, but it requires faith, belief, and trust in the Lord. + Do you believe a new experience is possible? Oh, Lord! May we never limit your power in our lives and may we always be open to the possibility of a new and miraculous experience with you in Jesus' name. Amen! Emphasis The limitations and doubts of humans cannot hinder the power of God and the possibility of a new experience. Have a Blessed Weekend! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [24-02-2023] Focus: Destiny is shaped today The word for today Our current lifestyle is an indication of the person we are becoming and the life we will have in the future. Let us be intentional about the decisions we make and the actions we take, so that we may become the kind of person we want to be and live the kind of life we desire! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap." (Galatians 6:7 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is a well-known fact that some of the great men in history were not necessarily the product of meticulous planning or an insatiable desire for success. Rather, their greatness was a result of the way they lived their lives and the attitudes and character they exhibited in various situations. Take David, for example, before his appointment, he was a humble shepherd who selflessly protected his father's sheep. It was this sacrificial attitude that made him the only one brave enough to face the towering Goliath. Similarly, Joseph's righteousness was well known among his brothers, and the day he was sold to Egypt, his expertise in the area of welfare was brought to light for all to see. This was made clear in his life by the fact that he was able to resist temptation, forgive his brother, and provide for their essential need. The way we live our lives today will inevitably shape the person we become in the future. Our actions, both good and bad, serve as a blueprint for our future selves. The little acts of wickedness, envy, compromise, slander, unrighteousness and unfaithfulness that we exhibit in our every day lives may seem insignificant, but they have the power to project who we will be and what our lives will represent. On the other hand, the love, care, righteousness, and faithfulness we exhibit are a revelation of the kind of person we will become. Greatness is not always the result of careful planning or intense ambition, but rather a byproduct of the way we live our lives and the character we exhibit in various situations. Let us strive to live a life of selflessness, integrity, and righteousness, so that we may become the kind of people who can truly make a positive impact on the world + What are you becoming? Oh, Lord! Help us to exhibit the character that leads to true greatness and positively impacts the world in Jesus' name. Amen! Emphasis The life we live today is a reflection of who we are and who we are planning to become! Have a Superb Friday! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [23-02-2023] Focus: Affliction will not rise a second time The word for today You must be mindful of the fact that affliction will not but always continue to rise and the oppressors will continue to oppress and God can make an utter end to it. If you have been afflicted you must seek God and cooperate with Him to bring it to an end! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "What do you conspire against the LORD? He will make an utter end of it. Affliction will not rise up a second time." (Nahun 1:9 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is disheartening to acknowledge that there may be a conspiracy against the counsel of the Lord that seeks to inflict affliction upon us at every turn. The thought of such a malicious plot against our homes, families, churches, cities, nations, and the world at large is deeply concerning. Yet, it is essential to confront this reality head-on and take action to combat it. The first step in combating this conspiracy is to implore God for His intervention. We must come before Him in prayer, seeking His guidance and protection in the face of adversity. Through prayer, we can tap into the divine power and wisdom that will enable us to overcome the challenges that lie ahead. Furthermore, we must be relentless in our prayers, persistently calling upon God to put an end to the rise of affliction on every side. We must trust in His sovereignty and believe that He will answer us in His time. This trust and faith in God's plan can help us remain steadfast in the face of adversity, even when it seems like all hope is lost. As we pray, we must also take practical steps to combat this conspiracy. We must be vigilant and aware of the tactics used by those who seek to afflict us. We must be proactive in protecting our homes, families, and communities from harm. This might involve taking steps to safeguard our physical and emotional well-being, strengthening our relationships with loved ones, and actively seeking out ways to make a positive impact on the world around us. + Do you believe in what the Lord can do for your life, family, church, and nation through prayers? Oh, Lord! Put an end to our afflictions and establish righteousness in Jesus' name. Amen! Emphasis It is a misguided and futile pursuit to conspire against the Almighty, for He wields an indomitable power that can bring an end to affliction and oppression! Have a graceful Thursday! |

~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [21-02-2023] Focus: Always be prayerful The word for today Prayer is hard, but it carries the power that softens life's battles and brings success to you. Pray about everything and for everything! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Be glad for all God is planning for you. Be patient in trouble, and always be prayerful." (Romans 12:12 NLT). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When you pray, it shows you don't trust yourself but God. It also shows how helpless you are and how much you need God. The Lord Jesus shows us the way of life through His approach to and attitude toward prayer. If Jesus prayed this much, then who are you? The major strategy of the devil over all of mankind is that he makes men preoccupied with various activities of life and takes away the power of prayer. He is so successful in this to the extent that even when men find time to pray, most issues of life make them materialistic. Most people don't engage in prayers that will build their spirit or make them live a successful Christian life as they proceed on their pathway to destiny. Those who truly know God and have faith in Him pray ceaselessly. The battle of life has not overcome you until you lose the power of prayer. When things are not working well in your life, family, city, or nation and it seems as if you are helpless; the only way out is prayer. If you want to experience the power of God in your pilgrimage and you don't want to become a victim of life's circumstances, atrocities, or evil enterprises of the devil, you must give yourself to praying ceaselessly. + Do you believe in what the Lord can do for your life, family, church, and nation through prayers? Lord! Help me to pray; that which you want to do in my life, family, church, and nation, do it in Jesus' name. Amen! Emphasis Prayers are essential if divine intervention is to be experienced! Have an awe-inspiring Tuesday! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [19-02-2023] Focus: Build a Good Relationship The word for today Good relationships don't just happen; they are created. God has given every man the exclusive right to create his own world! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection." (Colossian 3:12 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Every man created by God is created for relationships. Everywhere you go in destiny, you will not but meet people for a relationship. Building good relationships is important because it can have a profound impact on your well-being, personal growth, and support system in life. The relationship we build today determines our strength tomorrow. The power to create our worlds lies within each one of us, and it is through this ability that we can cultivate relationships that bring us joy, support, and fulfillment. So, let us not take our relationships for granted. With effort, intentionality, and love, we can create a world that is rich with meaningful connections and that brings us all closer to the abundant life that God intended for us. What type of relationship are you building? Lord! I receive the grace to build a good relationship in Jesus' name. Amen! Emphasis: Your relationships represent your future connections! Have a blessed worship experience! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [18-02-2023] Focus: The Weakness of Our Humanity The word for today Death reminds us of the weakness of our humanity; that someday we would leave this world and be forgotten as if we never lived! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But God does not take away life; instead, he devises ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged from him." (2Samuel 14:14 NIV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As we can see it happening around us, we will all surely die. Irrespective of your achievement so far in every facet of life, the fact remains that you will leave that office, room, house, car, people that seem so dear to you, and everything you ever worked for! This is not to scare you but to remind you of your mortality. Take life simple and do your best to be a blessing in the lives of men. Whether you like it or not, people think about your personality in a certain way; and they will relate it to what your destination will be hereafter. Today you have an opportunity to leave a lasting legacy in the land of the living. If this world is not your home; then you may be called to your home at any point in time. Try as much as possible to use your existence to please God: this is your primary assignment. How long do you think your journey will be? Lord! I receive the grace to live a fulfilled life in the land of the living in Jesus' name. Amen! Emphasis: The manner it was announced that a man is born in like manner the announcement of his death will be made known! Have a Refreshed Weekend! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [09-02-2023] Focus: Take Care of your Body The word for today Despite the apparent magnitude of your divine calling and anointing, you still require a functioning physical body to fulfill the Lord's purposes for your life. Your rate of progress through life—and perhaps even how far you get—are directly proportional to how you make use of your body! ************************************ 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 destiny's destination. 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. Despite the fact that you need self-denial in terms of discipline and putting your body under subjection to fulfill 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 in which 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 good health, even as my soul prospers in Jesus' name. Amen! Emphasis The Lord wants you to stay healthy to fulfill his purpose on earth! Have a prosperous Thursday! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [05-02-2023] Focus: Walking in covenant The word for today No evil can harm you when you walk in the covenant. The only way to be assured that God will stand by you to bring His word to pass is if you walk in the covenant. God will fulfill His promises for you if and only if you fulfill your promises to Him! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. (Joshua 1:8 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Everything the Lord will do for you is embedded in His promises, and whatever He does will last from generation to generation. When David aligned his life according to God's will, He made a covenant with him that also covered his children if they would walk in the covenant. What some people are enjoying today is a result of the fact that their fathers walked in covenant with God and the blessing was extended to them. They will also do well if they can pass on the legacy to their children by walking in the covenant and teaching their children to do the same. When this is done, they are extending the blessing to their children. We must walk in covenant in a bid to preserve His glory in our lives. Joshua is a worthy successor to Moses because he walks in the covenant. You must also resolve to walk on the premise of God's covenant with you if you are to have the life God wants to give you. A man who lives in disobedience to God's word for him or walks in unrighteousness cannot fulfill His plan and purpose for his life. + Are you walking in the covenant? Lord! Please help me to always walk in covenant and have the life you want to give me in Jesus' name. Amen! Emphasis You must walk in covenant if God is to fulfill His covenant over your life! Have a gracious worship experience! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [31-01-2023] Focus: The Cord of Discipline The word for today The instrument God uses to bind men to His precious plan and purpose in destiny is the cord of discipline. The ordeal of several men in Destiny began when they detached themselves from the cord of discipline! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Blessed is the man whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty." (Job 5:17 NIV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Every word of God presented to you is the cord of discipline meant to reveal God's will to you and shape your life into His divine plan and purpose for you. The temptation you will not but always face is the one that will suggest that you detach yourself from the cord of the discipline of the Lord. It was this cord that prevented Joseph from sleeping with Potiphar's wife. It also prevented David from killing Saul, Daniel from eating the king's meat, and the three Hebrews from bowing to the golden image. Samson removed this cord and became a laughing stock, contrary to God's plan for his life. This same principle applies to the likes of Gehazi, Achan, Esau, Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and King Saul. When a man binds the cord of discipline of the Lord to himself, he will surely do well even in secret, where no one will be around to question his deeds. There is a beast in every man who always wants to be free. Each time it wants to manifest, the first target is to remove the cord of discipline. Every attempt to remove the cord of discipleship by misbehaving is an attempt to reject the life God wants to give you. Let the word of God abide in your heart, and submit yourself to obey it and honour God in all you do. Does the word of God abide in your heart? Lord! Please help me to always yield myself to obeying your word and to be who you want me to be in Jesus' name. Amen!!! Emphasis You will only be who God wants you to be if you yield yourself to obey God at all costs! Have an awesome Tuesday! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [24-01-2023] Focus: The benchmark of Maturity The word for today The exhibition of the fruit of the spirit as a manifestation of the life of Christ in the life of a man is the ultimate benchmark of maturity. Your growth is healthy if you continue to grow in grace by denying yourself at every level of life! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." (Galatians 5:22-23 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the power of God comes over a man, he is transformed from ordinary to extraordinary; exhibiting the attributes of Christ. No matter who you are and how long you think you have been serving God, your maturity is a function of how much your life conforms to the life of Christ and how much His life in you affects others. When a man has reached the level of maturity, the following will be observed: 🔥 He is loving and more humble! 🔥 He is selfless and compassionate! 🔥 He has overcome self-consciousness. 🔥 He has resolved to always take the path of honour and obey God at all costs! 🔥 He has decided to always allow God to have His way in all situations! 🔥 He has resolved to follow God through Christ, to walk and work in His steps! 🔥 He has an unquenchable thirst to know God! How much has God helped you grow? Lord! Give me the grace to live up to your expectations in Jesus' name. Amen!!! Emphasis The more mature you are, the more you will overcome self-consciousness! Have a grace-filled Tuesday! |

~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [22-01-2023] Focus: Your thought pattern The word for today Your outward behaviour takes its route from your thoughts, ideas, and specific images in your heart. You cannot change your character without changing your thinking. ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." (Proverbs 4:23-23 KJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You are the product of your thoughts. Your thoughts are the major driving force behind everything you will become in life. The thoughts in the heart of a man precede all his actions. Every great thing that exists began with human imagination, as did all evils in life. The dimension of your greatness in life is a function of how big your heart is, be it for spiritual matters or physical things. Your thought pattern also determines your response to people as a function of what you think of them. Every change of mind, attitude, and character begins with a strong conviction in the heart. Therefore, if your thought pattern has so much influence on your entire life, it is very fundamental to the fulfillment of God's plan and purpose for your life. Submit yourself to God alone in every issue of your life, allow Him to influence your thoughts, and He will pattern your ways to success. What is your thought pattern? Lord! Give me the grace to filter away thoughts that make me fall short of your glory in Jesus' name. Amen! Emphasis Your thoughts define your life and future! Have a spectacular worship experience! |
