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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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?

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

Focus: Diversity of Human Experience

The word for today 
Our experience in life can never be the same because our purpose on earth, level of faithfulness, obedience, faith, perseverance, sacrifices we make, conformity to God's standard, and divine allocation differ. These factors majorly define our experiences!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."( Romans 8:28 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whatever God allows in the life of a man is for his good. Our experiences are meant to either chastise, correct, build, or empower us. Hence, no two men will have the same experience; it can only be similar.

Be mindful of the fact that there is something God wants to use your life to achieve in this generation. The lives of the likes of Joseph, Abraham, David, and Daniel passed certain messages to us based on their unique experiences.

Not all men can offer the type of sacrifice Abel offered to God. Not all men can be obedient to God the Father like Christ was; not all men can have the faith of Abraham; not all men can persevere and remain faithful to God like Job. These are the major reasons a man's life should not be compared with others. We are created uniquely to fulfill a unique purpose, and the level of our walk with God differs.

What are the factors influencing your experience?

Lord! Let every situation of life work out your divine purpose for my life, in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis
Despite the diversity of our experience, everything is working to our advantage!

Have a grace-filled Tuesday!

Focus: The word of God is true 

The word for today 
Irrespective of the prevailing situation in your life, the fact remains that the words of God are true and will surely come to pass. There is no other way to miss the expected end you desire so much than to disbelieve God's word and act contrary to it!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For since the beginning of the world men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him." (Isaiah 64:4 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Right from the beginning of the world, everything exists by virtue of God's word. When the word of the Lord comes forth, His purpose is established. Everything you have been and will become is coded in God's word. 

When your life appears not to be promising despite God's promises for you, remember the promises of God to Abraham and how they were fulfilled. If your case is the type where people are waging war against your dreams and aspirations, remember Joseph and how God ensured the fulfillment of his dream. When you indulge in evil and it seems as if you are getting away with it, remember Pharaoh and how he ended his life. Remember the word of the Lord, which says there is no peace for the wicked.

No matter what you feel and your experience so far with destiny, the word of the Lord is true and will surely come to pass. However, you must always be mindful of the fact that God will act on your behalf if and only if you cooperate and walk in absolute obedience. Believe God in His word and wait upon Him for His promises.

Do you believe God's word?
  
Lord! I receive the grace to believe your word and walk in obedience in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis:
You can only be who God wants you to be by believing His words are true and walking in obedience!

Have a superb worship experience!

Focus: Divine Location

The word for today 
Everything about your destiny has geography attached to it. Your provision from God will go to the location that God has planned for you!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live." (Genesis 26:2 NIV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Certain things will not happen in your life until you get to the location where they are ordained to happen. Your location in life has a great influence on your choices, experiences, vision, marriage, ministry, career, aspirations, and the impact you will make in the land of the living.

Most of the time, your divine location may not appear like a green pasture. The Lord told Isaac not to go down to Egypt. He obeyed and experienced fruitfulness. The land he dwells in became Rehoboth. Also, Joseph, by divine arrangement, was taken to Egypt, where his dreams were fulfilled.

You must be very weary of your location at every point in time so as not to lose out on destiny. Be very sure that you are divinely located; every time spent outside your divine location is a waste.

Are you divinely located?
  
Lord! I receive the power of divine alignment with my divine location; I will not be out of place with destiny in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis:
You are expected to stay where God wants you to be to fulfill his plans for you.

Have a grace-filled weekend!

Focus: Subscribe to God's idea

The word for today 
Not every good idea is God's ideal for you. Your decision is good and correct if it leads you into the center of God's will for you!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death." (Proverbs 16:25 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Lord is so gracious to the point that He makes His counsel known at every point of decision-making. The evil one will not but always suggest a way that appears friendly but leads to destruction. Hence, you must validate every idea that comes your way with the word of God to see if it will lead you to the perfect will of God for your life.

Going to Moab was reasonable and appeared good to Elimelech, Naomi's husband, but it wasn't God's plan for them because they paid the ultimate price for that decision. No matter how spiritual a man thinks he is, he must be mindful of the fact that we are designed to know in part as we proceed in destiny. This makes it paramount for us to follow Christ as he leads us onward. Don't allow anything to separate you from your divine location.

Let God lead you. Do not neglect the word of God that comes to you at every point of decision-making. You will live to enjoy the peace and the life God wants to give you if and only if you make the word of God your anchor as you proceed in destiny!

Do you subscribe to God's ideas or human wisdom?

Lord! I will not miss out on destiny, and my life will not be alien to your ordained pattern for me, in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis
Not all good ideas are God's ideas. Human wisdom is too shallow to comprehend what lies ahead!

Have a magnificent Tuesday!

Focus: Understanding Destiny

The word for today 
Destiny is a predetermined or foreordained condition by the will of God. You will only find the life God wants to give you by understanding that you have a destiny!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations." (Jeremiah 1:5 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You have a destiny! The fact that your existence was never your idea makes it very imperative for you to do the will of God. The beauty of a man's life is the conformity of his life to God's master plan for him. Joseph aligned his life according to God's will for him and fulfilled his destiny. Queen Esther also cooperated with God, and she became what she was destined to become. 

The Lord has ordained you to fulfill a course in destiny, and this will only be possible when you deny yourself and do the will of God at all costs. When you circumvent the will of God through human wisdom, it is a sale of destiny. It is also an act of rejecting the life God wants to give you (in terms of your job, career, spouse, legacy, location, or anything else). Till this very time, we don't know to what extent God wants to use Gehazi if he hadn't traded his destiny.

The best you can be is to be who God wants you to be. Whatever you do or become through unrighteousness is never the will of God for your life, and such a path leads to destruction.

Is your life according to the pattern ordained by God?

Lord! I will not miss out on destiny, and my life will not be alien to your ordained pattern for me, in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis
There will be a large deviation between the life God wants to give and what your life will turn out to be if you fail to do God's will!

Have an inspired week ahead!
