Focus: You are created correctly

WORD FOR TODAY
There is no error in your creation; you were made uniquely, wonderfully, and perfectly. You will only become inferior to others if you look down on yourself and believe you are inferior!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well." (Psalm 139:14 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whatever happens or where you find yourself, you must never forget to thank God for who He created you to be. God does not make any mistakes in creating you. Your birth, origin, age, parentage, and other physiological characteristics were not an accident but were planned to fulfil a specific purpose. You must appreciate the creator's work because your life is living proof that His works are marvellous.

The man who was born blind in John 9:1-3 was born to fulfil a unique purpose in proclaiming God's Glory. Do not let life's challenges and the various difficulties associated with your destiny cause you to lose sight of who God created you to be; regardless of what happens, you are a first-class creation of God. Live happily in all circumstances and keep training your soul to remember that you are fearfully and wonderfully made.

+ Do you know how marvellous you are as God's creation?

Lord! I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; I worship you for my life in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Even if you don't value yourself, the devil wants you at all costs because you are a magnificent creation of God!!!

Have a Pleasant Worship Experience!!!

Focus: No man is good

WORD FOR TODAY
One important fact to remember as you journey through life is that no man is good. The only times a man is good are when he denies himself and allows the Holy Spirit to find expression in his life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Now a certain ruler asked Him, saying, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" So Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God." (Luke 18:18 -19 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man's nature finds it difficult to do God's will. There is no limit to how the devil can use a man who has not received the grace to deny himself. David was said to have spared King Saul, who was desperately trying to kill him at a point in time. The same David who spared King Saul because he does not want to touch God's anointed killed Uriah to cover his sins. David engaged in this terrible act because he failed to deny himself.

A man who failed to deny himself at any point in time is very dangerous. The Lord Jesus cautioned the young rich ruler when he called him a good teacher not because he was bad but want to give him the impression that only God is good in every man. Whatever you see men do is the prototype of what you can do. The only hope of Glory in a man's life is Christ in him (Col 1:27). Hence, you must always the find grace to deny yourself to allow the Holy Spirit to find expression in your life. Also, you must not forget the man factor in every relationship you find yourself in!!!

+ Does the Holy Spirit find expression in your life?

Lord! Help me to always deny myself in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
A man will only be good when he denies himself and the Holy Spirit find expression in his life!!!

Have a Pleasant Friday!!!

Focus: The Essence of Forgiveness

WORD FOR TODAY
The essence of the provision of forgiveness of sin as an inheritance of the people of God is to ensure a new beginning and not a license to continue in sin. The instruction to every man who received the forgiveness of sin is "Go and Sin no more".
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more."
(John 8:11NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man who continues in sin after assurance of pardon from the Lord is a man who is taking the grace of God for granted. The God we serve is a God of a second chance. He knows that despite our evil ways we can still change to do His will.

A psalmist said, "The LORD has chastened me severely, but he has not given me over to death." (Psalm 118:18). The Lord forgives our sins to give us a new beginning. God does not give up on a man. The exploit Apostle Paul did was possible because the Lord believed in his change. This does not happen without his cooperation.

You also must cooperate with God by repenting from your evil ways, you must not continue to live in sin. Don't live your life like those men who continue to sin because of the orientation that man cannot but sin and that God will always forgive sins each time we pray to him. The fact that God forgives sin does not change the fact that no sinner will go unpunished and that the wages of sin is death!!!

+ Do you always come to the point of repentance after you are forgiven of your sins?

Lord! Give me the grace to repent from my sin; don't allow my growth in you to be frustrated in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Whenever you have the assurance of forgiveness, the implication is that you are given another chance to live right!!!

Have a Beautiful Thursday!!!

Focus: The Test of Patience

WORD FOR TODAY
The hardest test in life is the patience to wait for the right moment in every issue of life. The ability to hope and quietly wait for the LORD's salvation is the most important virtue you must possess in order to live the life He desires for you!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD." (Lamentations 3:26-26 KJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of the qualities that a man should possess is the ability to be patient while waiting for the manifestation of God's word in his life. There is a waiting period for everything good in life. When a man passes the patience test in waiting, he is ready to enter into what God has planned for him. Gehazi, Abraham, and King Saul all failed the test of patience at some point in their lives, and they all paid a high price for it.

According to His plans, God designed men's lives to follow certain processes. Wait for what God has said about your life if it has not yet come to pass. Every period of waiting is intended to instill in you the necessary capacity to carry your future. Wait on the Lord and don't compare yourself to anyone else because you have a unique destiny.

+ Will you hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD?

Lord! I receive the grace to patiently wait for what you have prepared for me in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
The level of our love, loyalty, faith and obedience will always be validated through the test of patience!!!

Have an incredible Month Ahead!!!

Focus: Let Both Grow together

WORD FOR TODAY
The Lord, in His attribute, will not uproot the tares among the wheat because he has already determined when they will be destroyed. Remember this: there will come a time when God will judge all of man's works!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn." (Matthew 13:30 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We sometimes wonder why God remains silent and does not take drastic action against men's evil deeds. We tend to lose patience as the rate of evil work of darkness increases. According to human logic, God should destroy evildoers and lawless people to bring about the necessary peace in all areas of life.

However, in His infinite mercy, the merciful God has revealed his verdict to us: "Let both grow together until the time of harvest when their fruit will make the difference." Both the good and the bad will continue to grow together from generation to generation, and their fruit will be the only distinguishing factor that separates them.

As a result, a man will be deceiving himself if he believes he will get away with his evil deeds; the Lord has set a day for every man's deeds. To allow for repentance, the Lord chooses not to uproot the weeds in the context of men. That is why the Lord said, "My reward is with me, to give to each man according to his deeds" (Rev 22:12).

+ What do you look like before God: wheat or tares?

Lord! Help me to bear the fruit of righteousness all the days of my life in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis
The Lord will do nothing about your deeds until the judgement day is fulfilled!!!

Have a Graceful Week Ahead!!!

Focus: An Enemy Has Done This

WORD FOR TODAY
Each time a man sleeps, he allows the enemy to perform his enterprise. Identifying what God has done is critical to overcoming what the enemy has done!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"He said to them, "An enemy has done this." (Matthew 13:28a NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each time you observe that the pattern of happenings in your life is contrary to what God has said and His plan for your life know that the enterprise of the evil one has come to reality. You must not be ignorant of the fact that the devil, the greatest enemy of your soul like a roaring lion is going to and fro of life seeking for whom to devour.

Therefore, the evil one will be seeking for the lethal moment in your spiritual life, marriage, academics, career, business, ministry and other aspects of life to perform his enterprise in your life. The trend and manner the devil and his agent perform their enterprise show that they are cowards because they need men to sleep to do their biddings and their ultimate strategy is deception.

Each time you are becoming lethal in the aforementioned aspect of life know that the evil one is around the corner. Whenever you come to a point of revelation of what the evil one has done sit up and engage the Lord of the harvest to put an end to the enterprise of the evil one!

+ Do you have an idea of what the enemy has done?

Lord! Do not hand me over to the will of the enemy in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis
Knowing what the enemy has done is critical to your peace in every facet of life!!!

Have a Wonderful Worship Experience!!!

Focus: Let God Have His Way

WORD FOR TODAY
Each time a man has his way in disobedience to God's word he treads the path of destruction. To have your way is to reject the life the Lord wants to give you!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death." (Proverb 16:25 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is a limit to what a man knows about himself; the best of your knowledge does not exceed what you know about the moment. Several ways which seem right will be presented to you in every facet of life; only the way of the Lord is the way of wisdom.

The fact that you did not choose your parents, origin, age, date of birth, colour, race, height, voice etc establishes the fact that God created you to fulfil a unique purpose. Hence, you must allow Him to have His way in your life so that He will work in you to do His good pleasure. Anytime a man goes in a way that seems right before him in disobedience to God, he denounces the good life the Lord wants for him; and other path leads to destruction.

The likes of Gehazi, Saul, and Achan had their ways at a point in destiny and their actions at those points changed the initial plans of God for their lives. Joseph, Daniel and David at a very critical moment of their lives allowed God to have His way and they succeeded in sealing the good life God wanted to give them. You also, in your career, marriage, business, ministry, academics etc. allow God to have His way to enjoy His best support in your pilgrimage.

+ Do you really desire the good life the Lord has for you? Do you allow God to have His way in your life?

Lord! I strongly desire your good plans for my life; have your way in my life in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
You cannot have the good life the Lord has for you if you continue to have your way!!!

Have a Refreshed Weekend!!!

Focus: What Shall We Gain?

WORD FOR TODAY
It is not possible to serve God without leaving or giving something. All men who became great for God in destiny were those who gave their best to God!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then Peter said to him, "We've given up everything to follow you. What will we get out of it?" (Matthew 19:27 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every man goes on in life with the orientation of getting something. A man after 38 years of active service for an employer receives a gift of a television and a promise of gratuity (N4m) in a no distance time. As for him; that is all he will get after using the best and most important part of his life to serve.

Apostle Peter in our text came to a point of asking a crucial question after a critical analysis of the sacrifice they made following the Lord. But the Lord assured His disciples that they shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life (Matt.19.29). There are several fishermen in the time of peter who were not known because they did not follow Jesus!

Abraham at 75 followed God and at a point had a need to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac; by the virtue of this, he became the father of faith and paradise the habitation of the saints was named after him. Your reward will come from whom you give your best. What the world gives is perishable but what God gives is eternal. You cannot follow God with all sincerity and run at a loss; He will never forget the labour of your love!

+ Who takes the best of your life?

Prayer Point
Lord! Strengthen me to give my best for the glory of your name in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Main Emphasis
Give your best to God in everything because your life and eternity depend on it!!!

Have a Gracious Friday!!!

Focus: Becoming Outstanding

WORD FOR TODAY
Going the extra mile within the circumference of God's will for you is the ultimate secret behind becoming outstanding in every facet of life. To be what others cannot be you must do what others cannot do under God's grace!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Do you think you deserve credit merely for loving those who love you? Even the sinners do that! And if you do good only to those who do good to you, is that so wonderful? Even sinners do that much! (Luke 6:32-33 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No man will give you credit for doing what is normal and expected of you. No man ignores excellence; a product of outstanding performance. Greatness begins with yielding yourself as a living sacrifice in the service of God and humanity.

David faced Goliath when others declined to do so. Jesus forgave and prayed for those who crucified Him. Joseph flees from fornication that other young men will call opportunity. Some abnormality to the canal mind associated with obeying God's instruction is what distinguishes men.

A man cannot be termed an outstanding father or mother until children who are not his biological children see him and hold him in very high esteem as a father or mother. This is because it is normal that you won't give your children stones in place of bread.

+ Who will give you credit for doing what everybody is doing?

Lord! Help me to be a living sacrifice in service to God and humanity in Jesus' name. Amen.

Emphasis:
You will only be outstanding if you sacrificially do something extraordinary!!!

Have an Outstanding Thursday!!!

Focus: Those who cannot bear the Shame

WORD FOR TODAY
Only a man who has come to the end of himself is capable of bearing the shame associated with the manifestation of his glory. Those who cannot bear the shame that comes with being what God wants them to be will lose the right to bear His Glory!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrew 12:2 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shame is a tool used to validate how much a man has come to the end of himself (Sinful nature). Every man born of a woman detests shame and its associate. A sense of shame prompt several men to ignore Christ's cross. However, the shame of bearing Christ's cross is necessary for receiving the crown of life. This is what the young ruler neglected and rejected when he failed to follow Christ (Matthew 19:16-22).

There is no doubt that prosperity breeds friends; even gentiles will flock to the brightness of your light rather than your darkness. True friends are validated by adversity and situations that bring shame. Naomi was in a humiliating situation and found a true friend in Ruth. She bore the shame of her circumstances and crow back into God's plan for her life.

When life knocks them down, some people will still act as if everything is fine because it would be a shame for them to remain down in front of men who have seen them at their best. Some people elevate themselves to a level that God has not elevated them; they incur debt (spending their future today) to live in luxury to impress men. A man who is living in sin and needs help will continue to hide because of the shame of how others perceive him. Hence, the needed help for your glorification will only come to you when you bear the shame of your growth process and allow His grace to cover you!!!

+ How big do you think you are before God?

Lord! Let me not be too big in my own eyes; help me to be humble enough to bear the shame associated with my Glory in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Those who cannot bear the shame of the cross cannot beat the weight of His Glory!!!

Have a Super Wednesday!!!

Focus: The Lord will Save You

WORD FOR TODAY
This life is characterized by several challenging issues; however, the Lord has promised deliverance from various troubles of life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For He bruises, but He binds up; He wounds, but His hands make whole. He shall deliver you in six troubles, Yes, in seven no evil shall touch you." (Job 5:18-19 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We can't help but get bruises and wounds as we progress through life. It is a complete deception to believe that a man's life will be completely free of various life issues. This is because the earth is not our permanent home. The Lord will not but always allow certain things to occur to remind us that the earth is not a place where we can live forever.

Jesus said "In the world, you will have tribulation" hence, you must be of good cheer to find peace in Him. (John 16:33). When your problems seem to be getting worse, His deliverance covers everything. Whatever your situation is, remember that the Lord has promised to save you.

+ Are you at any point in time free from various life issues?

Lord! Deliver us in your righteousness from every issue troubling our lives in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
In this life, a solution to a problem opens door to another; nevertheless, the Lord will always be there to save you!!!

Have a Triumphant Tuesday!!!

Focus: The Act of Love towards You

WORD FOR TODAY
Every ack of love towards you is meant to teach you the value and how to love. Every love shown to you is a waste if it will not imbibe in you the inspiration to do likewise to others!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms." (1Peter 4:10 NIV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The love shown to you prepare you for what to do when you come in contact with people who needed to be shown the same love. Life will be very beautiful if all men will have a feeling of indebtedness whenever they were shown, love. It takes sacrifice to be shown love no matter how small it looks.

Whenever you are given a gift and men pray, advise, counsel, guide, and connect you; the aim is to teach you love, service and what it meant to do those things and its blessedness. When these gestures are shown to you be mindful of the silent voice; which whispers to you "go and do likewise unto men".

When you are made happy you have known a way to make people happy. If you are forgiven, forgive others as well. Accept the benevolence of men toward you with great indebtedness. Do not forget to do likewise when the situation and time demand it.

+ Do you enjoy the love of men with a great sense of indebtedness?

Lord! Help me to always replicate the Love shown to me in the lives of men in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Every act of love towards you is a lesson meant to teach you how to treat men!!!

Have a Lovely Week Ahead!!!

Focus: Knowing Him to find who you are

WORD FOR TODAY
You will only know who you are in God's purpose when you find God and know Him by experience. Life begins when you avail yourself to know God!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." (John 17:3 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our creation and existence were not our ideas; we were created to fulfil God's purpose. Every man is expected to know God to understand the essence of his creation. There is no life outside of God because there is no one other than Him. The more you know Him, the more you will discover who you should be on your journey of destiny.

Zacchaeus had no idea who he was or what God could do through him until he met and knew Christ. David had the confidence to defeat Goliath because he knew what God could do. When Jacob encountered God, he sealed God's covenant over his life. When Apostle Paul met God, the purpose of God became clear to him. When Moses met and knew God, he realized the meaning of his existence.

God told Jeremiah that his destiny was to be a prophet of nations from the time he was conceived. He would not have known this if he had not sought to know God. Several people lived but were unable to fulfill God's plan for their lives. You have not found yourself until you find and know God. Knowing God is the first step toward eternal life.

+ Do you know God? Have you discovered who you should be in destiny?

Lord! Let me know you more and more to discover who I should be in destiny in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
To know who you were created to be, you must first know God!!!

Focus: The Rod of Correction

WORD FOR TODAY
It takes several rods of correction for a man's life to be correct. A man will grow wings in error in every level of life if there are omissions as far as correction is concerned!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty." (Job 5:17 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man's life requires checks and balances. When you find yourself in a domain where there is no one to correct or criticize what you are doing, you are in the wrong environment. We understand God's love by the fact that he corrects us whenever we stray. His love for us will always compel Him to chastise us through various life situations or the rod of men.

The rod of correction is not always pleasant, but you must learn to accept it in good faith because it is intended to correct your life. Submit yourself to the Lord's dealings in all aspects of life to be the man the Lord desires you to be. When the Lord begins to shape you into His intended purpose through the hands of men such as your friends, Pastors, brethren, parents, bosses, or other people, do not be offended or hesitate to comply. You must always acknowledge your shortcomings for new things to emerge in your life.

+ How do you respond to corrections?

Lord! Do not withhold the rod of correction from my life, help me to live an error-free life in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
The Lord will only correct a man He loves so dearly; do not despise His rod of correction!!!

Focus: Take the Garment but not the Glory

WORD FOR TODAY
Your glory cannot be taken until you sacrifice it on the altar of sin. The glory of God may never manifest in the life of a man until he is ready to give up every other thing for it!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"How then can I do this great evil and sin against God? . . . And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand and fled and got out [of the house]. (Genesis 39:9b,12 AMP)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why would the wife of the Pharaoh's protocol officer be interested in a common slave? Why would she stoop to that level? It's not for anything other than the glory. Since the beginning of time, the consequences of sin have been far greater than the transient benefits. Joseph chose to let her have the garment rather than have his destiny cut short.

His brothers first removed the garment of many colours from him and replaced it with the garment of slavery. Potiphar's wife removed his slave garment and replaced it with the prison garment required for his placement in Pharaoh's palace.

God will always place men at various critical points in your life to remove various garments from you for you to move from glory to glory. It's a shame that many people settle for fleeting blessings at the expense of God's plan for their lives. They continue to wallow in sin to keep false blessings. Surrender whatever garment you are wearing that puts your life in danger of missing your place in God's plan.

+ What are you holding on to at the expense of the manifestation of God's Glory in your life?

Lord! I receive the grace to let go of anything that will hinder the manifestation of your Glory in my life in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
You will only be clothed in the garment of glory if you let go of the garment of sin!!!

Focus: Acknowledging Your Weakness

WORD FOR TODAY
To receive help at any level of life, you must acknowledge your weaknesses. Grace will only be made available to the humble, not the proud!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"God sets Himself against the proud and haughty, but gives grace [continually] to the lowly (those who are humble enough to receive it)" (James 4:6b AMP)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When a man is weak but claims to be strong, he is arrogant. God is the most powerful opponent of every proud man. Every man created by God has a weakness by any standard. As a result, whenever it tries to bring you down, do not be afraid to admit your weaknesses. Help will be made available to you if you acknowledge it before God.

When they ran out of wine at the wedding in Cana of Galilee, they confessed their problem to Jesus and received divine assistance (John 1). The prophets' sons recognized that their meeting place was too small for them, and grace was made available to them (2King 6:1). Help is readily available to you if you admit your shortcomings to God. There is no other way to die than to demonstrate your strength when you desperately need assistance.

+ Don't you think you need help?

Lord! I am weak but you are strong; make grace available for me in every area of my incapacitation in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
It is only the man who asks for help that will receive help. Until you involve God in the affairs of your life, there will be no intervention!!!

Focus: Recommendations in High Places

WORD FOR TODAY
No man will have a seat in high places of various levels of life if no one speaks of him there. There are heights a man can never attain in life until a voice through the help of God speaks well about him in high places!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house." (Genesis 40:14 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The fulfillment of God's precious plan for Joseph will only come to pass if someone can simply speak to Egypt's highest power about him. He was well aware of this, which is why he said, "make mention of me to Pharaoh." This principle still holds true today; soaring to the top is very easy when someone above you holds your hand and pulls you up.

When the Lord decides to have mercy on a man, He connects him to people in positions of power. David needed to become acquainted with kingdom affairs to fulfill God's plan for his life. This was not possible until someone told King Saul about him (1Sam 16:18).

One of the criminals crucified alongside Jesus recognized this principle and said to Him, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom." (See Luke 23:42.) The voice that speaks on your behalf in various high places determines the height you will reach and the distance you will travel in destiny. Even in Heaven, God's children have an advocate with the Father: Jesus Christ the Righteous (1John 2:1).

+ What did you become without help from above?

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

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

WORD FOR TODAY
One thing you must keep in mind as you walk your destiny path is that your destiny walk and work are personal. Everyone you meet on your destiny journey is either support to your life or someone you must support on your pilgrimage!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"But Naomi said, "Turn back, my daughters; why will you go with me? (Ruth 1:11a NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Naomi after her ordeal decided to return to the land of God's inheritance and instructed the wives of her sons to return to their people. They all came to a point where each of them have to decide their path in destiny. We will all reach a point where we must face our destinies as individuals. One of the best things you can do in life is to prepare for your destiny walk by yourself in every aspect of life; with God's help!!!

The salvation you accept is not collective, but rather personal. In God's eyes, your wife/husband, certificate, calling, and record are entirely personal. When you are sick or in pain, you will feel it alone, and at best those around you can only show concern. When God prompts men to support or help you, do not take it for granted; it will not always be the case; try to help yourself as well. Accept full responsibility for your life in order to achieve your goals.

+ Do you take charge of your destiny?

Lord! Help me to take charge of my destiny in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Your destiny walk is personally personal!!!

Focus: The Essence of a ministry

WORD FOR TODAY
Ministry is expected to be a means of bringing men to God. You are among teachers, evangelists, apostles, pastors, and prophets to bring men to God!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-12 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whatever gift a man possesses that does not provide a means of access to God is a waste and of no use to Him. The essence of ministry gifts in a man's life is to ensure that we all come to the unity of the faith and knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the full stature of Christ (Eph 4:13). If attending church does not lead you to God, you are in the wrong church. The church is required to bring us closer to God.

Christ's teachings teach the right way to live and how to be a blessing in one's life. Many of those who witnessed his miracles followed him and became God's instruments. What Christ did during His earthly ministry brought many sons to glory and prepared the way for mankind's salvation through His death on the cross. The purpose of ministry is to bring men to God, not to make more money, fame, or people to serve you.

+ What is your contribution to the body of Christ?

Lord! Help me to be a blessing to the body of Christ in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Ministry is meant to bring men to God!!

Have a Wonderful Worship Experience!!!

Focus: To God be the Glory

WORD FOR TODAY
Every man that God creates is for His glory. The best conclusion to any life issue, no matter how it appears, is that all Glory belongs to God!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Give unto the LORD, O you mighty ones, Give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness."
(Psalm 29:1-2 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whatever you think about yourself in terms of your past, present, and future, the fact remains that in terms of your life, God alone is to be praised.
To God be the Glory is the summary of your entire life, regardless of how you feel. Everything about you and your experiences speaks of His holiness and love.

When things go well or poorly in a man's life, they are put in place to demonstrate God's strength and glory. The good things that happen to you are proof of His mighty works and the efficacy of His might, while various difficult aspects of your life are reserved as a miracle in waiting.

Consider how far the Lord has brought you in life and ascribe to Him the honour and glory He deserves. Everything that appears normal in your life is not normal. It takes the grace of God and His help to come to this point in the journey of destiny. Just look around you; what you will see is nothing but His Love.

+ Do you give God all the glory in your life? Do you allow Him to take glory over your life?

Lord! I thank You for my life; to you alone be the Glory in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis
You have to come to the best conclusion in every issue of life until the Lord takes the Glory!!!

Have a Glorious Friday!!!

Focus: The word of God does not fail

WORD FOR TODAY
Even up to this point, the Lord's words have not failed, and they will not fail in the future. The decisions you make at any given time determine what happens to you and how much of God's word is fulfilled in your life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever." (Isaiah 40:8 NLT).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God created us with a predetermined plan for our lives. When a man chooses to do God's will, he enters God's plan for his life; however, if he chooses to do otherwise, he will have a different experience than God's plan for him. God has a standard that cannot be compromised, and His words are unbreakable.

Despite God's desire for all of His children to enter the rest, He has prepared for them, many will miss it due to their choice in the journey of destiny. The fact that God has said wonderful things about you does not change the fact that you will go through the necessary process to bring them to pass. Every situation in life will test your faith to see if you believe His word. As a result, regardless of your experience, remember that God's word never fails.

+ Do you know by experience that the word of God does not fail?

Lord! I believe your word can never fail; hence, your word over my life will not fail in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis
The word of God is life and can never fail!!!

Have a Superb Thursday!!!

Focus: The Game of Life

WORD FOR TODAY
A man settles for death at any point he comes to the realization and lives with the consciousness of ultimate achievement in any facet of life. When you are still in the game of life; you must always put your setbacks and achievements behind you; because it is not over until it is over!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:13-14 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every man created by God lives with the consciousness of getting something. Many times when the Lord wants to draw men to himself He makes promises. To Abraham, He said: I will make you the father of nations. Jesus to His disciples: I will make you fishers of men. Hence, when we run to and fro we are all aiming at a goal.

The fact that you are still a living soul establishes the fact that God still kept you in the game of destiny; this implies that much is still expected of you. The rule of the game is that you keep winning when you keep aiming at the goal and that you are only allowed to be either offensive or defensive but not to sleep in the journey.

In the game you are likely to either suffer setbacks or make progressive achievements; whichever way, keep pressing towards the goal till the end be it in your marriage, career, academics, ministry or pilgrimage to eternity. If the end has not come it is not over until it is over.

+ Are you still pressing towards the goal?

Lord! My destiny will not fail; Strengthen me to win the game of life in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis
There is no room for sleep if you must win the game of life!!!

Have a Victorious Wednesday!!!

Focus: The Yoke of Rest

WORD FOR TODAY
Every man is bound to either the yoke of sin or the yoke of Christ. You will only find rest for your soul when you accept His yoke and yield yourself to learn from Him.
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." (Matthew 11:29 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Christ's life is characterized by prompt and complete obedience to God's will. This is what we are called to when we give our lives to Him: a life lived for God's glory. The yoke of Christ in a man's life compels him to live Christ's life. Living the life of Christ brings a man into God's will for his life, and doing God's will is what allows a man to find rest for his soul.

Life will always present wonderful medals; however, accepting medals instead of the yoke of Christ adds more trouble and sorrow to a man's life. As a result, you must be prepared to accept the life that God wants to give you by learning from Christ and following in His footsteps. Taking His yoke literally will protect your life from anything that is not His will for you and will make your life fit to fulfill His purpose.

+ Have you taken His yoke upon you?

Lord! Let me never release myself from the yoke of Christ in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
If you desire rest for your soul and have the life that Christ gives; you must take His yoke upon you and learn from Him!!!

Have an Awesome Tuesday!!!

Focus: The Blessing of a Mother

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

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

+ Are you blessed by the Lord through your mother?

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

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

Have a Blessed Worship Experience!!!

Focus: Moving At God's Pace

WORD FOR TODAY
No matter how intelligent and quick a man appears to be, he cannot outrun God- the Alpha and Omega of all things. Following God, as He leads on the path of destiny in all aspects of life is the beginning of purpose fulfillment!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"The LORD says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control." (Psalm 32:8-9 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Life fulfillment is measured not by how quickly a man achieves something, but by how well his life conforms to God's purpose for his life. A man's life that lags behind or moves ahead of the pace of God's plan for His life in destiny cannot fulfill God's purpose, and he is a failure in the book of God.


In your walk with God don't be a horse nor a mule; neither of them is easy for God to lead. The horse is too fast, the mule is too slow. You must agree to live your life at God's pace. You must understand the following:

1. Your race is against God's purpose for your life, to complete it, not against a competitor.

2. My performance in the race of life is not measured in comparison to a neighbour, who always appears better or worse in comparison.

3. You are whatever God creates you to be, and when you fulfill HIS PURPOSE for your life, you have won the race!!!

On the cross, Jesus Christ declared, "It is finished!" "I have fought a good fight of faith, and I have finished the race," Apostle Paul said at one point in his destiny. They all served their respective functions. Accept to be led by God and move at His pace for your life as you move forward in your destiny!

+ Whose purpose do you live to fulfill? Are you moving at God's pace for your life?

Lord! Guide me along the best pathway for my life; advise and watch over me on the pathway of destiny in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis
You are only fulfilled if your life conforms to the purpose of your existence!!!

Have a Delightful Weekend!!!

Focus: Generation of those who seek the Lord

WORD FOR TODAY
Faithfulness, righteousness, holiness, commitment, fruitfulness, and fulfillment are the hallmarks of generations who seek the Lord. All men who seek the Lord earnestly find Him and receive His blessings!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from God his Savior. Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, O God of Jacob. Selah (Psalm 24:5 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are not serving God until you do whatever it takes to find Him. Men are drawn into the centre of God's plan for them because they have a strong desire to seek Him. Life has proven that we don't really know or have an idea of what we need in life because the conception of our existence was never our idea, but rather God's, the creator of all things.

Everything in life will be meaningless until you seek God to give it meaning. The earth and all its fullness belong to the LORD (Ps.24:1). As a result, the blessings you seek will only come from the Lord. Seeking the Lord entails more than just participating in spiritual activities or attending meetings; it also entails walking and working according to God's will for you. Those who seek the Lord have clean hands, a pure heart, and a soul that has not been lifted to an idol or sworn deceitfully (Psalm 24:4). Seek the Lord, and the Lord will bless you.

+ Are you among those who seek this the Lord?

Lord! Help me to always seek and find you in the journey of destiny in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
The generations of those who seek the Lord will be blessed of Him!!

Have a Blessed Friday!!!

Focus: Your growth in Life

WORD FOR TODAY
Life does not take you up like a ladder; rather, it grows like a tree. To have the life God desires for you, you must go through a process and obey God completely!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Let your roots grow down into him and draw up nourishment from him, so you will grow in faith, strong and vigorous in the truth you were taught. Let your lives overflow with thanksgiving for all he has done" (Colossians 2:7 NLT).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is a process you must go through and instructions you must follow at all times if you want to be everything God wants you to be. We saw the steps Joseph took to make his dreams come true. It is not a crime to dream big, but it is a crime to ignore or boycott the process. God used the hands of men to change three sets of cloth in Joseph's life:

1. The cloth of his familiar ground was removed by his brother to usher him into slavery.
2. Potiphers' wife removed the slaves' clothing in order to usher him into the prison.
3. Pharaoh removed the prisoners' cloth to usher him into the palace.

Overall, each process brought him closer to God's plan for his life because he cooperated with God by obeying Him. All great men did not achieve their status overnight. It takes many years for King David to ascend to the throne. Even if you begin to sense God's plan for your life, the only way to grow and learn is to go through the various processes God has prepared for you in destiny.

+ Do you submit your life to various processes meant for your growth?

Lord! Help me to submit to various processes meant for my growth and obey you absolutely in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
You must grow through the various process meant to validate your obedience to God to have the life He wants to give you.

Have a Wonderful Thursday!!!

Focus: God, Standing by You

WORD FOR TODAY
As you proceed on the pathway of destiny, one thing you must be sure of in every facet of life is that God is standing by your side to bring His word to pass!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There will be raging storms in this life that will toss you around like a ship on the sea. There will be tribulation, which will allow the hosts of hell to operate. There will be flaws and failures, persecution and foes in battle array to derail your progress. You will become old and feeble, and the strength you once possessed will be lost.

You'll need assistance along the way in this sinful, evil world. To succeed, the Lord must hold your hand and guide you through your journey. Whatever happens on your pilgrimage, you must remember that God is your refuge and an ever-present help in times of trouble. He is the Lord, and He knows everything about you. He rules over the storms of life, and He has never lost a battle. Cooperate with Him to achieve His good pleasure with your life.

+ Do you give maximum priority to God's presence in the affairs of your life?

Lord! Stand by me through the journey of destiny; guide my feet and hold my hand in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
You are not secured until the Lord stands by you to bring His word to pass!!!

Have a Beautiful Wednesday!!!

Focus: When Will I Rise?

WORD FOR TODAY
When a terrible life situation persists, it becomes painful and raises several questions. When a cloud of doubt appears in any aspect of life, look to God's promises and rest on them!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"When I lie down, I say, "When shall I arise, And the night be ended?' For I have had my fill of tossing till dawn. (Job 7:4 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We cannot help but find ourselves in a situation in which various storms will toss us around like a ship on the sea and the hosts of hell will attack to cause our strength to fail. The uncertainty that surrounds our lives causes us to ask the same question Job did: 'When shall I arise, and the night be over?'

This question will remain rhetorical until the Lord appears and demonstrates His salvation in our individual lives. As a result, we must remember that our times are in His hands and that He will bring us up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, to set our feet on a rock and establish our steps.

In every aspect of our lives, the period of our night will give way to a new dawn. Let us wait for our change in the days of our hard service. God's promises will undoubtedly be fulfilled.

+ When will you rise? Will you wait for the salvation of the Lord?

Lord! I receive the grace to rise above every limitation of life in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
No matter how downcast your life may appear to be, there exists a plan for your rising. Wait upon the Lord!!!

Have a Dignified Tuesday!!!

Focus: The Reality of Life's Achievements

WORD FOR TODAY
You will never find true contentment and satisfaction in anything until you find God in it. Because a man's life is not designed to last forever on earth, he will never find complete satisfaction in the ephemeral things of the earth!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out." (1 Timothy 6:6-7 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most of the time, the earth's pleasurable things are overrated. Sometimes we believe that acquiring certain items will improve our lives, but this is not always the case. Because life will always tell you that the best is yet to come, an answer to your prayers will always change your perspective on whatever you seek.

In life, we will always come to this one unique conclusion over everything we earnestly anticipate that "So it is not more than this." I don't know what your pursuit in life is; try to find God in everything in life as much as possible. Despite everything he had and enjoyed in life, Solomon concluded that everything was vanity (Eccl 2:10-11) and advised men to consider it a duty to fear God and keep His commandments.

+ What do you seek in your pursuit in life?

Lord! I receive the grace to always seek you in all my pursuit in life in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
True contentment and satisfaction can be found only if and only if you can find God in all your endeavours!!!

Have a Wonderful Worship Experience!!!

Focus: When the Word of God comes to You

WORD FOR TODAY
When the Lord is set to make a man great, He sends His word to him. The word of God coming to you at every point in time is aimed at making you great!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward."" (Genesis 15:1 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The major turning point in the lives of most people always comes mostly when the word of God comes to them. Men of God like Elisha, Jeremiah, Zachariah, Isaiah, Abraham, Gideon, Moses, and Joshua (just to mention a few) were just ordinary men until the word of the Lord came to them. We can read and speak about them simply because they accepted the word of God that came to them.

The Lord is so gracious that He still sends His word to us even in these last days. Each time His word comes to you do not harden your heart but accept and surrender yourself to it like Abram and the likes did; for it doesn't at any time come for fun or as a tradition but as an instrument of elevation in righteousness and deliverance from the evil enterprise of the devil.

If there be any of God's word coming to you; it is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that you as a man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

+ What is your response each time His word comes to you?

Lord! I receive the grace to always hear your word, accept and live consistently by it in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
When the word of the Lord comes to you it is basically for your greatness!!!

Focus: Lord, 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 a 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 promise 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 Tuesday!!!
