Focus: The One Who Holds Tomorrow

WORD FOR TODAY
Life is all about the one who holds tomorrow. Your life is not secured until you know God - the only one who knows tomorrow!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
" Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth. " (Proverb 27:1 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are sometimes confused about several things associated with our future because God holds it. The best way to prepare for the future is to know God the only One who guarantees the future.

The man who lost his life in an auto crash while embarking on a business trip would have not engaged in such trip or at best will prepare for eternity if he knew beforehand what is about to happen to him. To many of such people, it is hidden. That is why the word of God admonishes us to commit our ways to the Lord and that we should trust in Him alone and never lean on our understanding.

As you proceed in destiny don't forget what God said and walk side by side with Him even as you make the best use of this present moment; hoping for the best in days to come. In all you do, don't forget that no one promised you tomorrow; it is God that holds tomorrow!

+ How much do you acknowledge God in all your pursuit?

Prayer Point:
Lord! I commit my life into your hands perfect that which concerns me in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Do not worry about tomorrow but your relationship with God!!!

Have a Fulfilled Friday!!!

Papichulostunne:
You article has helped me to revamp my faith in God's word for me. I will wait on Him. Thank you

Yes! God will do it

Focus: God will Do It

WORD FOR TODAY
All the promises of God concerning your life will surely come to pass. The best disposition to every issue confronting your life is to keep believing that God will bring His word to pass!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And do not forget the things I have done throughout history. For I am God--I alone! I am God, and there is no one else like me. Only I can tell you what is going to happen even before it happens. Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish." (Isaiah 46:9-10 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No matter what you feel about your life with respect to your experience so far in life, the fact remains that the word of God will come to pass, according to His will and in His way. You must never take your heart away from what the Lord has said concerning you, come what may. At every point in time, your standpoint over any issue of life is that "God will do it".

Even when you don't know how God will intervene about an issue in your life you must never give room to unbelief. The workings of God in the lives of men of old have substantiated that God is true to His word and has no record of failure. No one could ever imagine that; Joseph's dream will still come to pass, Sarah and Elizabeth will give birth at old age. Even though the situation of things around these people brings into doubt what God has said; the fact remains that His word came to pass; just because He said it. When God says it, He will surely do it!!!

+ Do you believe God to bring to pass His Word in your life?

Lord! I believe your word, bring to pass your word in my life in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
The word of the Lord is yeah and amen; When He speaks, He will surely do it!!!

Have a Gorgeous Thursday!!!

Focus: A Search for A Man

WORD FOR TODAY
Great men don't recommend themselves but their work speaks for them. There will always be a search for a man to proffer solutions to various issues of life from generation to generation!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"I looked for someone who might rebuild the wall of righteousness that guards the land. I searched for someone to stand in the gap in the wall so I wouldn't have to destroy the land, but I found no one." (Ezekiel 22:30 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In every domain of life, there will always be a special issue which requires the expertise or attention of a man. For 40 days the Israelites search for a man who will confront Goliath but eventually found David. Also, a search was made for a man who will play an instrument to deliver King Saul from the evil spirit tormenting him; David was found. Also, Pharaoh seeks for a man to interpret dreams and found Joseph. Nebuchadnezzar also seeks to interpret his dream and found Daniel.

All these men were found worthy to attend to these issues because they did well in rendering services to ordinary men. Also, they were men who prepared and yield themselves for noble service. In like manner, God is seeking men who will stand in righteousness and fulfil his purpose from generation to generation. Avail yourself to be used of God and stand for Him in every domain of your placement.

There will always be a search for a godly wife, husband, educationist, professional, and leader in various capacities. As long as there is no man to stand in the gap for God there will be destruction in such domain. Make a good account of yourself by obeying God absolutely and performing excellently in everything you do.

+ Will the Lord find you worthy to stand on his behave?

Lord! I will not fail in the fulfilment of my mandate. I will be who you want me to be in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
The Lord, from generation to generation, will always seek men to stand for Him and proffer solutions to various issues of life!!!

Have a Gracious Worship Experience!!!

Focus: Your Life is a Message

WORD FOR TODAY
The Life of every man is a message for his world and the generation to come. Your life is a remarkable pointer to God's message to all generations!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts." (Psalm 145:4 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many people have lived and passed unto eternity but their lives point to God's message from generation to generation.
�The way Christ lived revealed that we are called to a life of sacrifice and that we are but a pilgrim on earth (Like 9:58, Matthew 8:20-30).
�The life of Abraham revealed that there is a great blessing in obeying and waiting on God. His life also proved that God is never late in fulfilling his promises and that He cannot be limited by age, space and time (Gen 12:1-3, Gen 21:1-3)
�The Life of Joseph is a pointer to the fact that there is opposition to every good dream and they will not be fulfilled on the platter of God. Also, God's promises will only be fulfilled on the premises of His will (Gen 37:18-20, Gen 39:9).
�The experience of Israelites at the red sea and wilderness revealed that setbacks are inevitable in the journey of destiny, you must keep moving forward to reach your goal. Also, man is not expected to live by bread alone (Deut 8:1-3)
�The life of Judas reminds us that some people will always present themselves to be used by the devil. A black sheep among the sheep. ( Matt 26:16).

Consciously or unconsciously your life represents something.

+ What does your life represent?

I receive grace to fulfil my mandate in God's purpose in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Main Emphasis:
Your lifestyle passes a specific message to men!!!

Have an Outstanding Wednesday!!!

Focus: Do as You have Said!

WORD FOR TODAY
Some promises of God are fundamental to your existence. You must discover it, believe it, look up to God for it and walk in the direction of its fulfilment!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Now, O LORD God, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, establish it forever and do as You have said." (2 Samuel 7:25 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The fact that God created us to fulfil our purpose; makes it paramount for Him to send us forth with a blessing and a promise. David having discovered the intention of God over him and his household believed it and prayed to Him to do exactly what He has said.

You must try as much as possible to ask God in prayers for the promises He made to you. It is not the case that God will forget or fail to do what He has said but He is interested in our commitment to believing what He has said and our readiness to possess our possessions.

No matter how impossible His promises may appear to be with respect to the current situation of your life, all you have to do is to tell Him to do what He has said!

+ Do you believe in God's promises?

Lord! Do exactly as you have said concerning my life in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
By principle God wants you to ask until you experience the fullness of Joy according to His promises!!!

Have a Promising Week Ahead!!!

Focus: And it was So!

WORD FOR TODAY
Whatever God said will surely come to pass. Everything the Lord has spoken concerning your life will come to reality!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind"; and it was so." (Genesis 1:24 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ultimate factor in every situation of life is God. It is only through Him that everything that existed, exists and what will be will be. Our experience today is a product of His word and so also our tomorrow will not be an exception (John 1:3-4).

As we can see in the creation story, everything the Lord said was exactly implemented according to His words. Irrespective of the situation of your life, the words of the Lord over you remain because your life is a work in progress in His hands; He will perfect that which concerns you.

Therefore, go on in life having the consciousness that God rules in all affairs of men and that His word as far as the blessings or rewards for righteous and holy living as well as judgement or consequence for sinfulness and unrighteousness holds. How everything that was created came into being, so also will His word concerning eternity will be ~it will be so!

+ Do you believe and truly revere the word of God?

Prayer Point:
Lord! I believe your word concerning my life and destiny, do exactly what you said you would do. Help me to serve you acceptably with reverence and godly fear in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Main Emphasis:
If everything He said, in the beginning, was so, everything He is saying through His words by various means and vessels will be so!!!

Have an Awesome Worship Experience!!!

Focus: Acknowledge His Mercy

WORD FOR TODAY
Your prayers and spiritual activities are good if it gains God's approval and attracts His mercy. It is not what you do or what you did not do that protected and saved you from being cut short but God's mercy!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Through the LORD's mercies, we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not." (Lamentation 3:22 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The intentions of the Lord have been made known from generation to generation "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” Romans 9:15. When the Lord shows mercy; no one can question or hinder Him on what He wants to do and whenever He decided not to show mercy no man can query Him.

Irrespective of what He decides to do at every point in time; the choice is His. Whatever the case is with you, be mindful of the fact that every man in his lifetime will be safe at a time when thousands are falling both on his right and left side. What you must seek in every issue of life is the willingness of God to show mercy.

There is some dimension of His mercy you are enjoying at every point in time; hence you must acknowledge it. Don't be eaten up by various efforts you put in place because thousands did the same with nothing to show of it. When things are not working well even after you have played your part what you need is mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

+ Do you acknowledge His mercy over your life?

Lord! Your compassion must not fail over my life; continue to show your mercy over my life in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Be mindful of what you say and think about various situations of men or the domain around you; things fail when God fails to show mercy!!!

Have a Merciful Weekend!!!

Focus: Do not waver in your faith

WORD FOR TODAY
Your faith in every issue of life must be tailored towards a single direction; the word of God. Do not stay between victory and defeat, believe God to always move on to victory!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." (Mark 9:23 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your faith determines your experience. What you believe will be your lot in the land of the living will become your experience. The possibility of what will happen to you is a matter of what you believe in your heart. Be mindful of what you see in every situation and what you believe to be the truth. Feed yourself with God's word and not what has happened to you in the past or terrible experiences of men.

Even when it seems as if the Lord refuse to deliver man from some issues of life, it is still a victory for him if he stands on the word of God in the prevailing situation. This is because all things are working together for the good of every man called according to His purpose. Whatever affects your faith affects your life and what God will do in your life. You will always need to believe in God and hold His hand over various issues of life.

+ What do you believe will happen to you?

Lord! I believe and trust your word; my faith will not fail in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Keep believing God's word irrespective of whatever happens!!!

Focus: The Labour of Love

WORD FOR TODAY
The labour of love is the labour that has to do with great sacrifice like that of Christ. All the labour of love towards God and His name are the only things that will pass onward when we are forgotten!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For God is not unjust to forget your work and labour of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister." (Hebrews 6:10 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Several men left their country, parents, relatives, businesses, careers, and jobs just because they wanted to extend the love of Christ to people they weren't related to or even know. Some broke their engagement and others accepted to be infected with deadly diseases just to fulfill this course.

These people are the major reasons why several places in the world have schools, hospitals and other amenities; apart from the fact that their work brings people to the knowledge of God and also brings an end to several traditions which involves killing human beings for sacrifice.

The sepulchre of many of them lies across the world in a locality other than theirs. These people by now have seen the Lord and most of their work testifies about their good works even after they are forgotten.

You also, God demands your sacrifice of love and commitment to His name, people and course. God is not unjust to forget the labour of your love.

+ What would be said of you? On what basis will the Lord reward you?

Lord! I receive the grace to live for you all the days of my life in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
The Lord is not ignorant of the labour of your love and will not overlook you for reward!!!

Have a Superb Wednesday!!!

Focus: When a man is Favoured

WORD FOR TODAY
When favour comes to play in the life of a man people called it luck. When grace is made available and speaks on behalf of a man, He succeeds and becomes exceptional in his pursuit!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"So then [God's gift] is not a question of human will and human effort, but of God's mercy. [It depends not on one's own willingness nor on his strenuous exertion as in running a race, but on God's having mercy on him.]" (Romans 9:16 AMP).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every man desires to be successful in whatever he undertakes. However, finding grace in this life's wilderness requires God's mercy. When the Lord decides to have mercy on a man, He grants him favour in various aspects of life.

Those who have failed in academics, career, ministry, business, and other areas of life are not less fortunate; it is just that grace was not extended to them. It is the Lord's mercy that works things out in a man's life after he has played his part in every situation of life.

Always seek His mercy in all your struggles and labours in various aspects of life so that your efforts are not in vain. Recognize Him in all your ways and make Him an active participant in your life's affairs.

+ Do you desire his mercy?

Lord! Make grace available for me in every aspect of life. My life will operate under the circumference of His mercy and favour in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis
One day of His favour is greater than many years of labour!!!

Have a Favoured Tuesday!!!

Focus: Follow Divine Order

WORD FOR TODAY
Life is not meant to be complicated if you follow divine order. The complications in the lives of men are the product of various schemes that emanate from their sinful desires!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Truly, this only I have found: That God made man upright, But they have sought out many schemes." (Ecclesiastes 7:29 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The problem of man begins the day he chooses not to follow divine order. Each time a man decides in his heart not to follow the instructions of the Lord presented to him at a point in time; he tends towards having complications in his destiny. The original plan of God for man was that he should be upright and live a life free from complications by submitting to God through discipleship.

The issues in the life of King Solomon, who began his reign in a promising fashion, started when he began to seek several schemes contrary to God's scheme for his life and had no one to guide him in discipleship. As you proceed in destiny, be mindful of the fact that your life will only be free from various life complications in marriage, relationship, career, ministry, job, business, academics etc if and only if you follow divine order by submitting yourself to follow God's principles in discipleship. There is no alternative to obeying God's principles if you must fulfil God's purpose in every facet of life!!!

+ Do you submit yourself to divine order?

Lord! I receive the grace to follow divine order in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Life becomes complicated when divine orders are not followed!!!

Have a Graceful Worship Experience!!!

Focus: The Essence of Serving God

WORD FOR TODAY
The primary essence of serving God is to do His will to uphold righteousness and holiness. The ultimate gain you will get from serving God is not wealth or material possession of this life but eternal life through salvation!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable." (1Corinthians 15:19 KJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The word of God through Apostle Paul made it clear to us that if all you can get from serving God is ephemeral things of this life like cars, houses, power, clothes, lands and other wonderful possessions; you are miserable. This is because you don't need to serve God to have them; several unbelievers have them in abundance.

It is a pity that several men who claim to be serving God or His representative lose sight of the ultimate gift of eternal life and drag the name of the Lord in the mud due to their quest for money, fame, power and material things of this life. You are not serving God if your life does not portray, godliness, righteousness and holiness.

Life is given to serve humanity and to prepare for eternity. Whatever faith you claim to have is not of God if it does not make you a good citizen, a blessing to your nation nor assure you of eternity with God.

+ Why do you serve God?

Lord! Help me to serve you with all I am and what I will be in life, make me a blessing to my world in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
What God will give you above every other thing for serving Him is not material possessions but eternal life through salvation!!!

Have an Awesome Weekend!!!

Focus: The seed of Slavery

WORD FOR TODAY
Whatever you do to other people, including your own brothers, plants a seed for your children's future. Do not be deceived: evil breeds evil, whereas good seed breeds goodwill, prosperity and blessings!!!!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap." (Galatians 6.7
NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man who killed another, whether physically, logically, or spiritually, sowed the seed of death in his own ancestors. The seed of what Joseph's brothers did to him is what makes them slaves in Egypt. Initially, they were not slaves, but their fathers' actions subjected them to servitude and oppression. In multiple ways, God made them feel what Joseph felt as a slave and prisoner.

When you do evil, keep in mind that God will raise someone to carry out the evil you did multiple times. You must resolve to do God's will and to do good to men. Jonathan sows love at a time when he should despise David as a natural human who should succeed his father, but he only showed love. He even shielded David from the evil schemes of his father, King Saul. As a result, when the house of Saul was judged, King David exempted Jonathan's lineage and showed kindness to Mephibosheth.

Your actions today establish the foundation for your experiences tomorrow. As you move forward in your destiny, fear God and sow righteous seed.

+ What type of seed are you sowing?

Lord! I receive the grace to please you at all times and sow righteous seeds all the days of my life in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
A man is living in deception if he thinks the consequence of his evil deeds will elude him!!!

Focus: Your Life in the Secret

WORD FOR TODAY
What people don't see about your life, mostly defines your life and the orientation of God about your life. You become a hypocrite when your public life does not corroborate with your secret life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light."(Luke 8:17 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What you do in the secret determines your real personality. There is nothing you do in the secret that will not be made public. A man who is battling with lust in his heart will one day be overpowered by it to do something shameful that will be made known to the public. The process which makes the glory of a man become shame does not start the day his shameful act was made public but a process in the secret.

Every growth happens in the secret. The seed you sow in the secret is the fruit people will see. When your secret life is bad, your growth will be stunted and your presentation will be shameful. Sow righteous seeds and place priority on pleasing God even when no one is placing a watch on your life. Place more value on building a formidable secret life which promotes righteousness in every facet of life. The secret life of a man is what determines how much value God will place on him!!!

+ What does your secret life represent?

Lord! I receive the grace to please you at all times and sow righteous seeds in the secret in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
What you are in the secret is the real you that will be revealed to the world in days to come!!!

Focus: Saving for the future

WORD FOR TODAY
The life of a man is not limited to his past and present alone but also his future. The fact that there is a future establishes the fact that some victuals are required for a fulfilling and promising future!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Cast your bread upon the waters, For you will find it after many days." (Ecclesiastes 11:1 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The way you prepare for the future reveals how much faith you have in it. What you do today has an impact on your future. Sometimes a man may wonder why the reward for his deeds does not appear to be forthcoming; the truth is that it will come after many days (in the future). Pharaoh was advised by Joseph to store grains during times of abundance in order to survive during times of famine.

The ten virgins were at the mercy of the oil they had at the appearance of the bridegroom. Mephibosheth ate with King David because of the good deeds of his father Jonathan. Life will not give you what you want, but will only give you the opportunity to have it. There will always be an opportunity to prepare for the future.

As you proceed in destiny, prepare for the future by saving a good attitude, relationships, prayer life, service life, devotional life, a seed for the future, and career life. Don't be reckless with the resources at your disposal. Live your life with the future in view. Also, be mindful of the fact that there is God's timing for everything and purpose in the land of the living.

+ How are you preparing for your future?

Lord! I receive the grace to live a life that will result in a promising and fulfilling future in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
A good life does not happen by chance but by deliberate effort; you must save in anticipation of a glorious future!!!

Focus: Enjoy prosperity with Caution

WORD FOR TODAY
When life smiles at you be happy with the consciousness that nothing on earth lasts forever and that every action of men will be subjected to God's judgement!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Enjoy prosperity while you can, but when hard times strike, realize that both come from God. Remember that nothing is certain in this life." (Ecclesiastes 7:14 NLT).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Prosperity is an exclusive part of God's plan for all mankind. Every man will not but experience this good phase of life everything being equal. When the Lord by the virtue of His mercy brings you into the era of abundance and prosperity; be mindful of who you used to be and God the giver of grace. In the course of your enjoyment don't forget the fact that your best is yet to come and do not look down on those who are yet to enjoy the measure of Grace made available for you.

Also, you must not forget that nothing on earth lasts forever and that the perils associated with success and prosperity are much more than when you are still trusting God for them. In speech, appearance and in every action be a perfect example of a life characterized by humility and righteousness.

+ Do you live life with caution?

Lord! I receive the grace to live humbly and righteously. I will not be eaten up by the perils of the time of comfort in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Enjoy prosperity when it comes your way but with great caution and a deep understanding of God's purpose!!!

Focus: God's Provision for All Times

WORD FOR TODAY
No matter how terrible a particular time may appear to be God has a provision for it. The presence of God is the ultimate asset of a man's life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
" When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze." (Isaiah 43:2 NIV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the Lord is set to offer the best gift to a man; He offers Himself to him. To Abraham, in his trying period, He said "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward. (Gen 15.1). The life of a man is not designed to be in isolation from his creator.

Therefore, God in His infinite mercy always offers Himself to all generations. This is because He knows that there is a point you will get to in life where what you think you have and everything you are made of will not be enough to give you the required peace and calm.

When situations like water, rivers and fire come; do not consider it strange, it is part of life. Always seek to see God in those situations when they come. His provision is that; He will always be available for you and with this, the river of life will not sweep over you nor the fire of life consume you.

+ How much do you value the presence of God in your life and affairs?

Lord! Lead me safely through this wilderness of life; Let me see you in every situation of life in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
You are assured of absolute safety in the land of the living with God standing by your side!!!

Focus: What you cannot Change

WORD FOR TODAY
Even though many things in life are subjected to change the fact remains that you cannot change both the sinful nature and the nature of God. Irrespective of who you are, you will only exhibit the attribute of the nature of the one ruling in your life at a point in time!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." (John 3:6 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes we wonder why some of our attitudes did not change despite the word of God made available to us and the prayer we offered about them. Some people even try to bind themselves to some rules and resolutions but eventually found that it does not change their experience. When a man is ruled by sinful nature, he will not but manifest the works of the flesh.

You cannot change sinful nature but you can only deny it to walk in the spirit. The only man who is free from the works of the flesh is that man who denies himself and walks in the spirit. The only time you will bear the fruit of the spirit is the only time you submit yourself to walk in the spirit (Gal 5:16-23). However, you can only walk in the spirit when you carry the nature of God through the new birth experience (John 3:3).

A man irrespective of who he is and how far he has gone in the journey of faith in God will live a disgraceful and shameful life if the sinful nature finds expression in his life. He will equally be good and bear the fruit of the spirit when God finds expression in his life.

+ What can you change?

Lord! Help me to always deny myself and cooperate with you to manifest your attribute in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
The nature you carry determines your attributes!

Have a Wonderful Thursday!!!

Focus: Be a Burden Bearer

WORD FOR TODAY
The primary essence of having or being a brother or a friend is to fulfill the concept of burden bearer. To claim that a problem in a friend's or brother's life has nothing to do with you is cruel!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity." (Proverb 17:17 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is practically impossible to know who a friend or a brother is when everything is fine and you are enjoying prosperity. Your friends and brothers were those who did not abandon you in the time of your shame, weakness and incapacitation. A man cannot boost to have a wife/husband until he/she remains loyal and ready to love sacrificially even in the worst situation.

A true friend loves both in good and bad times; in health or sickness, joy or pain, prosperity or penury, abundance or lack. It is an exhibition of pride and ignorance for a man to think he does not need a friend or a brother. You need a brother and a friend because life has proven the fact that every man will have a share of his ordeal in the journey of destiny.

If you are a type that is always available to enjoy the prosperity of men and desert them when they are experiencing challenges of life; it is only a matter of time before you will reap in multiple folds the seed of your deeds. Don't ever say the issue in the life of someone does not concern you. When you have the grace to do something about an issue in the lives of men don't hesitate to do it.

+ What type of friend and brother are you?

Lord! Make me a friend and a brother indeed and let me never cease to have genuine friends and brothers in all situations in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
You are created to be a brother and a friend to bear the burden of men in adversity in the manner others are bearing yours!!!

Have a Graceful Week Ahead!!!

Focus: Be Strong in the Lord

WORD FOR TODAY
Life is spiritual and it is characterized by several uncertainties. You must be strong in Lord who can deliver you in all situations!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might." (Ephesians.6:10 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When a man appears strong in any situation of life it is because the situation is still under his control. However, there are some issues of life which is beyond what human can handle. A man will feel great and think he is something until what is beyond him befalls him. As you are preparing to be great in various aspects of life don't forget to find strength in the Lord; when life happens all achievements will be irrelevant.

The heart of all men is weak and can easily get weary and faint in the face of difficult situations in life. You must be strong in the Lord. To be strong in the Lord requires having faith in God and trusting the power of His might. As we proceed in destiny be mindful of the fact that we will be faced with several issues and they will be many. The instruction given to Joshua as he leads the Israelites into their promised land is that; he should be strong.

Therefore, you must be strong in the Lord. Irrespective of whatever betide preserve your salvation, be righteous and apply the words of God as both defence and offence against the prevailing situation. Pray to God for divine intervention; align your expectations in the positive direction of your desire and let your faith find a resting place in the Lord!

+ Are you strong in the Lord?

Lord! Our faith looks up to thee; come and do what no man can do for us in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
You must be strong in the Lord to stand firm in the battle of life!!!

Have a Wonderful Worship Experience!!

Focus: Face Your Problems

WORD FOR TODAY
Don't feel intimidated by the might of your problem. Face it head-on with determination and a single goal- to win. This way, your boldness will scare your problem and it will be easily conquered!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." (James1:2-4 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every man created by God is created to solve problems. People like Moses, Joseph, David and Daniel solved unique problems in their days. Therefore, problems are inevitable as we proceed in destiny. They are the building blocks of a very beautiful world. Our lives are programmed to get better through overcoming challenges.

Any problem you fail to take a bold step to confront remains to keep increasing your sorrow. Facing your problems is the pathway to happiness under God. For every issue in your life, the Lord is looking forward to seeing you doing something about it.

Do not fold your hands or wait for another person who equally has issues in his/her own life to solve your problems. Things get better in this life by taking proactive measures under God over difficult situations. Do not ignore, deny, run, rationalize your problems or blame people for them. Pray and ask God to take the problems away even as you take steps to solve them!!!

+ What proactive measures are you taking over your problems?

Lord! I receive the wisdom to overcome all challenges facing my life. Let all problems become testimonies in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
To run from your problems is to prolong your suffering!!!

Have an Outstanding Weekend!!

Focus: The Will of the Enemy

WORD FOR TODAY
There is no free day in the calendar of the enemy; they will always plan and do evil. You must be ever mindful of the fact that as long as you live the enemy will always seek to destroy you!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries" (Psalm 27:12a NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
David was not ignorant of the fact that there was an enemy and the damage they could do if they had their way in a man's life. This understanding made him pray that "God should not deliver him to the will of his enemy". You also must be on alert and always pray not to be delivered to the will of the enemy.

The devil is the main enemy of a man. He comes to steal, kill and destroy. Even when it appears as if a man showed himself as an enemy; it is the devil who is at work in him. You must not be ignorant of his vices and be on alert not to fall into his trap. What the devil can do is in the record. We saw what he did with the life of Job at a slight opportunity. He is still in the business; going to and fro seeking for whom to devour.

Apart from praying against the enterprise of the enemy; you must be mindful of the fact that living in disobedience, committing sin and walking contrary to God's will for your life is a way to cooperate with the enemy to perform his enterprise in your life. Acknowledge God in all you do and let him come first in your thinking.

+ Do you believe in God's protection against the works of the enemy?

Lord! Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis
Each time you pray don't forget to tell God not to deliver you to the will of the enemy!!!

Have a Victorious Friday!!!

Focus: Things Can Change

WORD FOR TODAY
All men created by God in the journey of destiny, regardless of their condition or status, must be aware that things can change. As long as the earth exists, man's condition at any given time is subject to change!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven" (Ecclesiastes 3:1NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is no doubt that in this life we have seen people who used to be rich and influential who are now poor and irrelevant to society, as well as people who used to be poor and nobody who is now very wealthy and influential among men. Those who have had a bad fortune, as well as those who have been fortunate, cannot believe how their lives have turned out.

There is a hand that elevates a man and changes the course of events. This hand is God's hand. If this hand is still holding him, he will never fall or fail. If you find yourself in a high position by the grace of God, it is not because you are the best; you simply found favour with God. And if your life is like that of a man who works so hard with nothing to show for it or everything appears to be against you, what you need is God's grace and favour.

Whatever the case may be with you and every man with whom you interact, the fact remains that things can change. Remember that what you saw yesterday is not what you are seeing today, and what you will see tomorrow is not what you are seeing now. Recognize God in every situation and treat men with the utmost respect, not because of who they are, but because they contain a measure of God.

+ Is there any situation that cannot change?

Lord! Let me find grace and favour in this wilderness of life. Let my situation change for good in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
No situation cannot change!!!

Have a Beautiful Week Ahead!!!

Focus: The silence of a Good Man

WORD FOR TODAY
When sentiment overruled a man he tends to be silent about the prevalence of evil acts of men. The silence of a good man is worst than the evil of evil men!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"The mouth of the [uncompromisingly] righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks with justice." (Psalm 37:30 AMP)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A good man is known for the words of wisdom and the fact that he speaks and seeks justice. The fact that all men are prone to being selfish due to the sinful nature of man makes it paramount for everyone to walk in the spirit at all times. A man who claims to be good and righteous will surely disappoint God when sentiment takes a better part of him.

It is pity today that several men who are expected to defend the truth remain mute and inactive simply because they stand to gain something from the prevailing act. What makes you good is the fact that you know the truth and failure to speak and defend the truth is the worst evil. As you proceed in destiny be mindful of the fact that history does not forgive and the truth cannot be killed. When we take a cowardly, quiet backseat to injustice, we are doing more harm than good in our silence.

Evil men will always look for people who will provide cover for their evil acts. Do not allow evil men to take solace in your personality. Don't support a man to be at the helm of affairs because of what you stand to gain. You must stand for the truth and justice because God loves justice (Ps.37.28). Do not be a coward, rebuke the oppressor, defend the less privileged (Isa.1.17) and do everything in your capacity to expose evil. Always remember that everything will come to an end!!!

+ Do you speak the truth and seek justice?

Lord! I receive the grace to speak and stand by the truth, I will not be overruled by sentiment in Jesus' name. Amen.

Emphasis:
The silence of a good man when overruled by sentiment is the worst evil that can happen to a domain!!!

Have a Superb Worship Experience!!!

Focus: All Glory and Power Belongs to God

WORD FOR TODAY
One of those things you must not but always remember is that all kingdom, power and glory belong to God. You have not prayed until you acknowledge the supremacy of God!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen." (Matthew 6:13b NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In everything you do, you must always have it at the back of your mind that all kingdoms, power and glory belong to God. When the Lord begins to decorate your life with splendour in whatever capacity in the land of the living, be mindful of the fact that whatever your life depicts is a subset or minute reflection of what God is, you are just a bearer of His glory.

The man who knows and believes that all kingdoms, power and glory belong to God will always humble himself before Him and live with the orientation that after God it is God and He is all in all. Nebuchadnezzar at a point came to this critical submission that all power belongs to God. We have seen people who have power, riches, estates and material possessions but left them when death came.

Only God is God and there is none like Him. There is nothing a man can do than what God allows him to do. Hence, live your everyday life declaring the fact that all Kingdoms, power and glory belong to God.

+ Do you live your life to acknowledge the fact that all Kingdoms, power and glory belong to God?

Lord! I worship your supremacy; for Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever in Jesus' name. Amen.

Emphasis:
The prayer of a man becomes incomplete until he acknowledges the fact that all Kingdoms, power and glory belong to God!!!

Have a Gracious Weekend!!!

Focus: When challenges Come

WORD FOR TODAY
When challenges come, it separates those who truly have a desire and passion from those who merely have wishes. It comes to bringing the best out of our lives!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small" (Proverb 24:10 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes, the best of a person does not come until he is in trouble. No man in this life succeeds in anything without overcoming challenges. You only have a breakthrough when you are able to pass through various hurdles to achieve your goals. Life's challenges are an essential part of our lives and are meant to make us better people.

The challenges in your life are not different from the ones common to all men, they only have different dimensions and fields. Every marriage that works, worked not because they didn't face challenges but because the people involved passionately and diligently made it work with the wisdom of God.

This is also applicable to people in ministry, business, academics and careers. Nothing works naturally, things are made to work by confronting the challenges against them. Life will not but always present various issues to prompt you to give up; always find strength in God to stand in all challenging situations of life.

+ How strong are you and on what basis will you be victorious in various issues of life?

Lord! Empower me to overcome every challenge that comes my way in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
When challenges come it comes intending to push you to God and make you a better person !!!

Have a Breathtaking Friday!!!

Focus: The Human Government

WORD FOR TODAY
Wherever there are humans there you find imperfections. In every government being controlled by humans, your ultimate responsibility is to put on the virtue called love!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity." (Colossian 3:12 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When relating with men you must never forget that they are people with a sinful nature who can be ruled by the works of the flesh at a point in time. As it is with them, so it is with you. Hence, we will only please God in our relationship with men when we walk in the spirit. In every gathering you find yourself you must not but live with the orientation of love; because it covers a multitude of sins.

Be mindful of the fact that wherever you find men be it in a church, fellowship, or organization there you will find imperfections. Hence, there is nothing like a perfect church, fellowship, or organization. The only perfect part of any gathering of men is that part the Holy Spirit is in charge. Wherever there is love things appear perfect.

Don't say you are leaving your church or gathering for another. Sometimes, people look wonderful and glorious when you are looking at them from afar. If there is anything not good about your gathering pray to God about it and let the change you so much desire begin with you by walking and working in the Spirit. You must be patient with men, knowing fully well that they can change and get better.

+ To what degree can you bear the shortcomings of men?

Lord! Help me to put on the virtue of love in every domain of life in Jesus' name. Amen.

Emphasis:
Love is required to manage the imperfections of the human government at various levels of life!!!

Have a Superb Tuesday!!!

Focus: The News of His Glory

WORD FOR TODAY
When the glory of the Lord is revealed in the life of a man, it will be made known to all men. No man is committed and faithful in serving God that will not bear His glory!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"So you shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen; and you shall hurry and bring my father down here." (Genesis 45:13 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joseph who was a slave in Egypt became a prime minister; the second in command to Pharaoh. At a point, there was a declaration of his death to his father; who mourned him and accepted the fact that he had died. However, those who brought the news of his death were the people who declared the news of his glory.

It does not matter what people have said or are saying about your life based on what your experience has been over time; if you remain in the will of God and wait on Him; His glory will be revealed in your life and all men will see it (Isaiah 40:5). Those who saw your misery will also witness the glory of God in your life to validate your testimony.

As you proceed in destiny be mindful of the fact that it pays to serve Jesus. An expected end of the great glory that money cannot buy awaits all men who serve God with great commitment and faithfulness. You can only be assured of bearing the glory of God if you remain in His divine plan and purpose for your life.

+ Do you abide in the will of God?

Lord! Let my life be patterned according to your plans and purpose in Jesus' name. Amen.

Emphasis:
Irrespective of your experience, the Glory of the Lord will be revealed in your life if your life is patterned according to His plans and purpose!!!

Have a Glorious Month Ahead!!!

Focus: The Centre of All Situations

WORD FOR TODAY
Life becomes easier and less complicated whenever you allow God to be at the centre of all situations. A man who puts himself at the centre of every situation he finds himself in will not please God!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, (Colossians 3:23 AMP)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The outcome of every situation in life is actively determined by the one who is the centre of it. Men will not but think of what becomes of them or what he stands to benefit. When self-centeredness comes into an issue it can no longer bless lives nor fulfil a purpose. There is no other way to adulterate your service to God other than to exhibit self-centeredness.

The devil did not fall until he became self-centred by saying in his heart, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon." Isaiah 14:12. Jesus said, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me." (Luke 9:23).

If you must do anything, you must do it unto the Lord. Always allow God to have His way in everything you do. This is an important antidote against issues of self-centeredness. Your service becomes a blessing when it is devoid of self-centeredness.

+ What and who is the reason behind everything you do?

Lord! Make me a blessing to my world in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Service out of a pure mind and sacrificial heart is only possible when God is at the centre of an affair!!!

Have a Remarkable Worship Experience!!!

Focus: The Blessing of Productivity

WORD FOR TODAY
The essence of every rain the Lord brings on men is to ensure productivity. A productive man will receive blessing from God while unproductive men will be cursed and be worthless!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end, it will be burned." ( Hebrews 6:7-8 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The God we serve is God who values productivity. He has over time revealed through His word that He detests unproductivity. Whenever the Lord sends rain He does that purposely to ensure productivity. Similarly, when God fails to send rain then famine is looming. No man invests in something to experience a loss. If a man will not, God will not as well.

There is no doubt in the fact that God has done so much for you. He will not be asking too much from your life if He demands that you should be productive for Him. The verdict he placed on every land on which He sends rain is that such land will receive blessing from Him if it bears good fruits but the land will receive a curse and be burnt if it produces thorns.

We must ensure that our lives are productive; bearing the fruit of the spirit and that of righteousness. God is glorified whenever we are productive. We must abide in Him always and allow Him to do His good pleasure in us.

+ Are you productive? Are you a blessing or a curse?

Lord! Help me to be productive in Jesus' name. Amen.

Emphasis:
A productive man will receive blessing from the Lord and the one who is not will be cursed!!!

Have a Wonderful Friday!!!
