Focus: A Wise Conclusion

WORD FOR TODAY
Every experience we have in life be it good or bad; is not meant to harm or make us be at a disadvantage but to teach us practical lessons about life and the attributes of God. The chronicles of the lessons learnt under God through your experience are direct wisdom you need for a living!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all of whose works are truth, and His ways justice. And those who walk in pride He is able to put down." (Daniel 4:37 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By the virtue of what you have passed through so far in life, you must have come to some important conclusion in terms of the blessing or consequence associated with some actions as well as the attributes of God.

King Nebuchadnezzar was made to spend seven years in the wilderness among wild animals just to make him understand who God was. At the end of seven years he came to an important understanding of the following fact:

1. There is a King in Heaven who must be praised, extolled and honoured above others.
2. His works are truth and His ways of justice.
3. He can bring down all those who walk in pride.

What is your conclusion after all you've been through? Have you come to the knowledge of God's attribute? Do you agree with the dealings of God in your life by living in conformity to His standard for your life? A man is only wise if he learns from his experience and that of men around him.

+ What have you learnt from your experience in life?

Lord! I worship you for who you are and for the things you allow in my life to shape me into your purpose in Jesus name. Amen

Emphasis
Your conclusion becomes wisdom for a living if it depicts the real attributes of God!!!

Have an Impressive Friday!!!

Focus: The Heart of a Fool

WORD FOR TODAY
No man is created to be a fool but a man becomes a fool whenever he fails to acknowledge God in his endeavour. Acknowledging God in every facet of life is the beginning of wisdom!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." (Psalm 14:1a NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A very great height of foolishness is identified each time a man neglects the counsel of God in every affair of life. It is only a fool that knows the will of God and chooses to do otherwise or knows the consequence of an action and still goes ahead to do it. What you say in your heart matters a lot and determines who you are.

"Who will/can challenge me?", "There is none like me!", "I am invincible", " I am better than them", "There is nothing they can do without me", "I can do and undo", "Nobody can stop me" are the languages of a fool. Nebuchadnezzar said to the 3 Hebrews: "Who is the god who will deliver you from my hands?" But God revealed himself and proved to him that he was indeed a fool; his folly was treated in the wilderness for Seven Years (Dan 4:28-37).

Goliath became a fool the day he defied the armies of the Lord (1Sam 17:35). King Herod was so foolish that he took the glory which belonged to God (Acts 12:21-24). When a man begins to accept any feelings or deliberate in his heart that he is something without due reverence to God and His will he becomes a fool.

+ What are you saying in your heart?

Lord! I refuse to be a fool; I lay my crown and worship you in Jesus name. Amen

Emphasis
A man who does not know how to lay his crown to acknowledge and do the will of God is foolish!!!

Have a Graceful Thursday!!!

Focus: The Cluelessness of Men

WORD FOR TODAY
There is no man created by God that is not clueless. Deliverance from cluelessness begins with the revelation of God's word!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For we were born yesterday, and know nothing Because our days on earth are a shadow." (Job 8:9 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No matter how far a man has gone in life and the level of experience in various issues of life, the fact remains that if he should look back every event will look as if it happened yesterday. The most experienced of men cannot accurately predict what will happen in the next moment. Some people who died today has plans for the days to come; death was not part of their plans because they have no clue of it.

It is possible for a man to feel that he is wise or smart in various aspects of life; it is so just because the situation that will make him clueless has not come. There is something you need to do to be saved, to experience turn around and have a breakthrough. It will only come from God alone.

Be mindful of the fact that we are not created to be isolated from God who created us and defined our destiny. Always seek God and allow His word to lead you through the journey of destiny.

+ What do you think you know?

Lord! I am clueless, help me and lead me through the journey of destiny by your word in Jesus name. Amen

Emphasis
You will only see more of God and have the life He wants to give you if you keep living with the orientation that you know nothing and you are nothing without Him!!!

Have an Impressive Tuesday!!!

Focus: Is your heart right with God?

WORD FOR TODAY
Critical analysis of the state of your heart with respect to how you are living is vital to your spiritual well being. Even when men can not see your heart; it represents what God sees as your personality!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you--unless, of course, you fail the test?'(2Corinthians 13:5 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What people see about you is not enough to determine your personality. You will not have a correct evaluation of yourself; if you don't live and see yourself the way God; who sees every deep secret and intent of man's heart sees you. At every point in time you must evaluate yourself and be sure if:

1. You love God and you have given your all to Him.
2. You have dominion over the flesh, sin, evil within and without.
3. You no longer have condemnation over sin and that Jesus rules in your heart.
4. The will of God and His word is the driving force of your life.
5. You are walking and working in heaven's pure light and that your soul is clothed white.

Making eternity with God is a strong matter of the heart.

+ Is your heart right with God?

Lord! Help me to allow you to work in me to do your good pleasure in Jesus name. Amen

Emphasis
Your heart must be right with God if you must please God!!!

Have a Gracious Week Ahead!!!

Focus: The Story of your Glory

WORD FOR TODAY
The challenges we face in life are meant to make us, add value and beautify our lives. In this life, there is no glory without a peculiar and inspirational story!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever." (Psalm 30:11-12 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God allows you to pass through all you are passing through to give you a story. If you can think deeply about how you lived so far in life you will discover that in the actual sense you have a story to tell. This is not where you use to be and this is not your final destination because the Lord is taking you somewhere; when you get there your story will inspire some to believe God as the Almighty.

No matter what you are passing through be mindful of the fact that victory is in sight. The beauty of the process you are going through cannot be known as at the time you are in it but at the end. At a point, David was mourning and putting on sackcloth but at the end, he said "You have turned for me my mourning into dancing".

Time and space will not permit us to talk about the likes of Joseph, Daniel, Hannah, Abraham etc who had a share of their ordeal in this life but waited until God decorated their destinies. The process was not easy and palatable but the story was sweet and inspirational at the end of their lives. You also must wait until the Lord beautifies your life.

+ Will you wait until the Lord beautifies your story?

Lord! Beautify my life and make my story an inspirational one that will prompt men to believe and trust in Jesus name. Amen

Emphasis
When you wait upon God your story will become sweet and inspirational!!!

Have a Beautiful Worship Experience!!!

Focus: Burden for Prayers

WORD FOR TODAY
When various life situation gives you reasons to worry present them to God for a solution. Let your worries become a burden for prayers!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest? (Luke.12:25-26 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every man on earth will not but find himself in various challenging situation of life that will be beyond his capability. Each time you find yourself in issues beyond what you can handle remember that God rules in all affairs of men and present your case to Him.

I have never in life seen any man that achieved anything good by worrying. As you proceed in destiny, the Lord is not ignorant of what you will meet, therefore, at various point in life He will be waiting for you to make grace available. Do not worry about anything but pray about everything. Make whatever troubles your heart a burden to pray about!!!

+ What were you able to achieve in life by worrying?

Lord! I cast my cares on you, perfect that which concerns me in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Pray about everything that seems hopeless, uncertain and not promising!!!

Have a Promising Weekend!!!

Focus: Jesus is Always the Same

WORD FOR TODAY
The Lord is not ignorant of what has happened to you, what is happening to you and what will happen to you. The God of yesterday is the God of today and that of the future!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." (Hebrew 13:8 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The life of a man is characterized by his past, present and future. Irrespective of what your lot might have appeared to be in the journey of destiny, you must be mindful of the fact that you did not come to this point in your life without the help of God and that you cannot go forth without Him. He is the God of yesterday, today and the future.

As you proceed in destiny, don't forget that God who assisted you and provided the required grace to scale through various hurdles of life is still very much the God you need to lead through the journey of destiny. Even when it appears as if the future ahead of you looks so unpromising don't forget the fact that God holds tomorrow. Do not worry about anything but believe God who holds the future for everything!!!

+ Do you believe in God for your future?

Lord! Do much more than that you have always done in my life; do for me what no man can do in Jesus name. Amen

Emphasis
Your experience can change but Jesus is always the same!!!

Have a Wonderful Friday!!!

Focus: Why you must not Judge

WORD FOR TODAY
There is a limit to what you know about a man apart from what you see or hear about him. Do not take the judges stand in every issue with men!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you." (Matthew 7:1-2 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is more to every man's life than what we see or hear about them. There is a secret part of every man which is only known to God. The untold part of our individual life is most of the time our real personality. Hence, no man has the right to judge another. Never take the place of God in the lives of men.

There is no man without a peculiar weakness or limitations in various aspects of life. As a human, we are likely to use our behaviour to implies the act of other men. This most of the time makes our sense of judgement to be weak. Instead of taking the Judges stand in the life of men; examine yourself and ensure that you are not guilty of what men are doing.

+ In what way are you taking the judges stand in the lives of men?

Lord! I receive the grace to be who you want me to be; help me to examine myself and live up to your expectation in Jesus name. Amen

Emphasis
Do not take the place of God in the lives of men; allow Him to judge them!!!

Have an Impressive Tuesday!!!

Focus: Moving on into the Future

WORD FOR TODAY
Your future does not have space for your past; always take a step of faith into your future. Irrespective of what your experience had been; no time is too late to have a new beginning!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Now the LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons." (1Samuel 16:1 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God always have plans despite the numerous issues in this life. He has plans for your life, home, health, business, career, ministry and takes note of every minute details of your life. Irrespective of whatever betide don't imbibe an attitude that easily gives up amid various issues of life.

It is not a good thing to be sad or depressed over things you can do nothing about. Always take solace in the fact that there is nothing God cannot do nor a situation He cannot change. As you go on in destiny, lift your thoughts higher than your current challenges; allow God to be the pilot and let His word lead you into His precious plan for you.

+ Are you optimistic about your future?

Lord! I receive the grace to find strength in you to always take a step of faith into your divine plans for me in Jesus name. Amen

Emphasis
There is no space for your past in the future!!!

Focus: What is Good for You

WORD FOR TODAY
Whatever you claim to have is only good and perfect for you if you receive it from God. In every quest to get something in life, be mindful of the fact that only the gift that comes from God is good for you and will help your life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning."
(James 1:16-17 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For everything, the Lord wants to give you the devil has a close substitute. Not everything that looks like a blessing will bless your life. It is only what comes from your God your creator that will bless and help your life. When Gehazi ran after Naaman in a quest to get something for himself he thought he was on the verge of getting an increase not knowing he was taking a journey to become leprous.

Although we go on in life intending to get good things; the fact remains that we should have a great desire for what God gives. The Lord on many occasions chooses not to answer our prayers because what we thought is good for us is not.

Hence, do not be deceived by how good something appears to be or by how much people root for it. Get whatever you need pertaining to life and godliness from the Lord!

+ Where did you get what you have?

Lord! Help me to desire your gift in every facet of life; may I never settle for a close alternative to what you want to give me in Jesus name. Amen

Emphasis
What God did not give you is not good for you!!!

Have a Wonderful Worship Experience!!!

Focus: Saving Lives

WORD FOR TODAY
There can never be a noble thing to do in every facet of life than to save lives. The purpose of God in the life of a man will be defeated if he fails to save lives or ensure they are secured under his watch!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations."
(Jeremiah 1:5 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your primary assignment in every domain of your placement is to save lives. Each time you have any reason to deal or relate with men you are dealing with lives. Mammon (money) has done a lot of evil in the lives of men in that he makes men lose sight of their calling.

As a Teacher or Lecturer, several young lives will pass through you; you are expected to help their foundation and teach the values that will uphold their future. As a Medical practitioner, Judges, clergyman man and leader in any capacity; God over your life expects that men, their future, lives and possession are secured in your hands.

Be mindful of the fact that God ordained you to be a prophet to nations. However, you can only save lives when God has helped you to overcome (self) selfishness and (worldliness) the love of money. Allow God to work in you to do His good pleasure so that your existence will not be a waste nor be detrimental to God's purpose.

+ Is the lives of men secured in your hands?

Lord! Make me a channel of blessing to peoples lives; enlarge my bosom for men to find refuge in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Main Emphasis:
You make nonsense what God want to achieve with your life in His purpose if lives and everything placed under your watch is not secured according to His will!!!

Have a Gracious Friday!!!

Focus: Prayer Never Ends

WORD FOR TODAY
Life has proven that a solution to a problem creates another. We will not but pray as long as we live!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full." (John 16.24 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The essence of prayer is to ensure that your joy is complete. The quest to ensure the fullness of joy in every aspect of life is a major factor that will prompt men to pray. Hence, you have not prayed until your joy is complete. When life appears good and in proper shape do not stop praying about it. When life appears to be complicated, it needs prayers.

If you will not stop having a desire, aspiration, and quest for a glorious future you will not but pray. It is the only dead man that does not need prayer. Prayer will never harm you but will go a long way to prompt God to help you. Irrespective of your experience in life you must continue to pray until your joy is full.

+ Do you give yourself to prayer?

Lord! Perfect that which concern you, hear my prayers in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Pray without ceasing because prayer never ends!!!

Have a Graceful Worship Experience!!!

Focus: The Arrows of God

WORD FOR TODAY
Children are God's inheritance given to men to be an effective force in the battle of life. The legacy of both God and man can only be projected into the future through arrows (Children) that are trimmed, sharpened and kept in the quiver for Godly use!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth." (Psalm 127:4 KJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The world is beautiful today because there are children who are making the prophecy of greatness in the days to come. We don't worry much about wonderful men who are leaving various stages of life because there are children who are getting set to take over from them.

The word of God likened Children to arrows; a weapon of war. There is a limit to what a mighty man can do if he has no weapon to fight on the battlefront. The height a mighty man cannot reach his arrow can and the battle he cannot win by his hands his arrow can help him. Nevertheless, he has the responsibility to prepare and shoot the arrow at the appropriate time and on the right target.

When the Lord promised to make Abraham a mighty nation; He gave him a child. The child given to you is God's inheritance meant to help you win various battles of life and make you great. Therefore, they must be trained spiritually, academically, morally, socially and maritally. Your arrow will not depart from the direction you send it (Prov.22.6).

+ How are you handling God's heritage at your disposal? What type of arrow are you in God's hand?

Lord! Make our Children battle axes trimmed, sharpened and kept in thy quiver for great exploit in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis
When the Lord looks upon a nation to make it great a child is given!!!

Focus: The Awaited Future

WORD FOR TODAY
Irrespective of your experience and what you feel about life; you must be mindful of the fact that the expected future will not come automatically but by the will of God. The promises of God will only come to pass by His mercy alone!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"How do you know what will happen tomorrow? For your life is like the morning fog--it's here a little while, then it's gone. What you ought to say is, "If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that." (James 4:14-15 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The hope of a great future is an important factor that keeps us going in life. However, that glorious future we are aspiring for will only become a reality by God's will alone. It is not enough that there are several promises of God over you with respect to what you will become in life, God must have mercy on you if they must come to pass.

Your dreams will only come pass and become relevant to you existence if it is in line with God's will for you. Hence, you must seek God's will and honour Him with your decision. Irrespective of what your lot appears to be in destiny, you must have the Life God wants to give you. Even when it appears that the future you have been longing for did not come you must fulfil your purpose.

+ Do you have the Life God wants to give you?

Lord! Let my desires always find their root in your will alone in Jesus name. Amen.

You will be who God wants you to be by His grace alone!!!

WORD FOR TODAY
The best you can get from this life can only be found in the Lord and only in Him alone. You are not fortunate until you begin to enjoy only what God can give!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning." (James 1:17 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our God is a God of varieties. He is your creator and the only One who knows what fits your life and best for you.

As men, we are created uniquely and this influences our desire and choice. However, the Lord who created us knows us more than we know ourselves because our existence is not by our Idea but His.

The Lord had promised to give us the desire of our hearts but most times it will never go in line with our predictions because His ways are not ours. The best choice to make in life is to settle down with whatever He made available for your life. In the long run, you will discover that you have gotten the best.

+ On what premise does your desire lie?

Lord! Let my desires always find their root in you in Jesus name. Amen.

The best you can get will only come from the Lord!!!

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 410 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, 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 whisper 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!!!

WORD FOR TODAY
Every man enjoys God's mercy but in different dimensions. No man has everything just like no man have nothing!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion. It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy. (Romans 9:15-16 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An act of ingratitude is identified each time a man thinks that he is not enjoying God's mercy or that life is not fair with him. God over the years has proven from generation to generation that He is a merciful God who shows mercy according to some measure in the life of every individual.

Some people do not have money and pleasurable things of this life but they have sound health and rest of mind. Some have money but do not have what money cannot buy. The fact that there are certain aspects in your life where you are incapacitated established the fact that you need God and that He must have mercy on you. When God have mercy on a man in a certain aspect that is when things will fall in their rightful place in that aspect.

+ Are you enjoying the mercy of God?

Lord! Thank you for your mercy in my life; your mercy will not depart from my life in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Every man enjoys God's mercy and every man needs God's mercy!!!

Irrespective of the condition you find yourself the fact remains that you were created to praise God. How you praise Him while still living will determine if you will praise Him forever in eternity. This is because life is given to prepare for eternity.

WORD FOR TODAY
A man can only be considered a messenger of God if and only if he remains a vessel of honour that will only deliver God's message and nothing else!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Believe in the LORD your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper." (2 Chronicles 20:20b NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your primary assignment as a true believer in Christ is to believe God in His word. Believing God is an important prerequisite to your establishment in every aspect of life. No matter how tough the situation around your life may be; if there is anything you must do, it is to believe in God.

The Lord has placed several men through which we can have access to Him. These men are expected to stand for Him in various affairs of life. Hence, your prosperity in life also depends on God's word presented to you through these men. In the actual sense, you cannot effectively believe the God you don't see if you don't believe the people He put in place to guide and direct you according to His word.

Nevertheless, a Prophet or a messenger of God must be identified through a token of God's presence and a lifestyle that is not contrary to the word of God.

The word of every God's messenger is subjected to the word of God. Their word shouldn't be of them but of God who sent them. Don't be eaten up by the garments of the prophets or word which defeats the righteousness of God.

+ Do you believe God and His word through His messengers?

Lord! I receive the grace to believe your word and live by it in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
You should only believe a man who carries God's message and live by it!!!

Focus: The Fear of the Lord

WORD FOR TODAY
It is the fear of the Lord that keeps a man from sin. A man is not wise until he has feared the Lord!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise." (Psalms 111:10 NIV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To run away from sin just because of its consequence is not the best reason but for reverencing God. Wisdom begins with remembering God to work and walk in His ways in every facet of life. The whole duty of a man is that he should fear God (Eccl 12:13). You can never please God if you don't fear Him.

Those who fear God do not wait for people's presence to do what is right. The fear of the Lord shields your life in many ways. When sin does not find a place in your life you have succeeded in protecting your life against several problems of life. You have blocked every channel through which the devil can gain access to perform His enterprise in your life. In all your pursuit in life don't forget that one of your most important primary assignment which is to fear God.

+ Do you fear God?

Lord! Help me to live to reference you in all my ways in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis
Always remember that the fear of God in your heart is the first application of wisdom in all you do.

Have an Outstanding Week Ahead!!!

When the prodigal son saw that he cannot continue to live in the mess he brought himself into; he turned to a direction towards the Father who received him joyfully. A similar fate awaits every man who repents genuinely. No man goes away from the father that will not mess up. To remain in the mess is the greatest tragedy that can happen to a man.

The devil may provide an arm to provide a temporal measure for your mess but you are only safe with the Lord and his arm is ever safe to receive you. No matter how great the gravity of what you have done against the will of God may appear to be the fact remains that even though God chastises his people severely; He doesn't give them over to death (Ps.118:18). His love for all mankind is that we should not perish but have everlasting life.

Don't give up on God on the account of your shortcomings He is ever waiting to accept you. He is very much interested in your homecoming! Repent and get things right with your creator!

+ Are you still roaming? When will you get it right with your Creator*?

Lord! No power of hell nor scheme of man will ever pluck me from your hands in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis
No time is too late to return or get things right with God when grace is still available!!!

Have an Awesome Worship Experience!!!

Focus: Proving His Supremacy

WORD FOR TODAY
The Lord gives room to some situations in the lives of His people to prove His supremacy in every issue of life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting That there is none besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other; I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things.' (Isaiah 45:6-7 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Lord created us. He wants to achieve something with our lives. Our existence was first and foremost His idea; we were created for Him and His purpose alone. He remains God with or without us. Therefore, we must learn to move on in destiny with faith trusting only in Him irrespective of whatever betides.

The Lord proved a point that He is God in the lives of Lazarus, Daniel, Sarah, Joseph and the Israelites etc. He sometimes makes evil people prevail just to package them for destruction as He did to Pharaoh. There is no level the Lord cannot take you to if it will pass a message with accurate precision in agreement to what He is doing or will do. Eyes have not seen nor ears have heard what He has prepared for those who wait on Him. Cooperate with Him to achieve His good pleasure through your life.

+ What message is the Lord passing through your life to men?

Lord! Help me to cooperate with you to reveal and work out your good pleasure through my life in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Your life is a testimony; a message to prove the personality of God!!!

Have a Refreshed Weekend!!!

Focus: When the Lord Gives a Man Rest

WORD FOR TODAY
When the Lord gives a man rest, no man or situation can trouble him. You will only have the required peace to fulfil your mandate in destiny when your ways please the Lord!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary nor evil occurrence." (1Kings.5.4 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you come to God to learn and walk in His ways; He will give you rest. The life of a man becomes peaceful when he begins to enjoy the rest that God offers to those who pleases Him. The Lord was pleased with Solomon and He gave him rest on every side: no adversary nor evil occurrence. Consequently, He saw the need to build a house in God's name.

One of those things you need in life to fulfil your mandate is rest. When there is trouble, sickness and threat from enemies; every assignment given to you by God will suffer setbacks. You must yield yourself to pleasing God in everything you do to enjoy his peace in every facet of life.

Do your ways please God?

Lord! Help me to please you all the days of my life; keep trouble and evil occurrences away from me in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Peace and rest on every side are critical to the fulfilment of purpose and mandate in life!!!

Have a Gracious Friday!!!

Focus: Allow God to Work in Your Life

WORD FOR TODAY
It is only what God does on your behalf that will be easy and be of great blessing to your life. You activate God to walk and work on your behalf when you submit to His precept in absolute obedience to Him!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain." (Psalm 127:1 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each time you see a man labouring with nothing to show for it in marriage, ministry, academics, business, career etc. you have seen a man who has not been helped by God. The tales of success will only be told at the mercy of God alone. Nothing in life will be easy when grace is not made available. Life is made easy when God works.

God walks and works mysteriously. He exhibits His good pleasure in the life of men whenever they yield themselves to obey Him and He chooses to show mercy on them. As you will be required to take responsibility for various issues in your life be mindful of the fact that obedience to God's principle brings Him to your aid.

Do you allow God to work in your life?

Lord! Continue to work out your good pleasure in my life in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Things turn out well when God work it out in the lives of men!!!

Have a Beautiful Thursday!!!

Focus: Be Strong in the Lord

WORD FOR TODAY
Your strength is feeble and irrelevant in the battle of life if it is in what man can do or what money can buy. You will go forth destiny, moving from victory to victory if you will always find strength in God in every facet of life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might." (Ephesians 6:10 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Joshua was about to lead the Israelite, the major instruction given to him is that he had to be strong. As long as you live; you must be mindful of this instruction; it is not only for Joshua but for all men in the journey of destiny. Life is characterised by several issues and uncertainties. Hence, you must be strong.

Despite all Job had; he did not see them as his strength but the Lord Himself. To him, God must be praised irrespective of what happens. Don't put your strength in money, life's achievements or material possessions. These will only support you after God has strengthened you. Always find strength in the Lord for every issue that confronts in destiny.

Where does your strength lie?

Lord! Be my strength in every issue of life in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
To stand and become victorious in the battle of life you must be strong in the Lord!!!

Have a Victorious Wednesday!!!

Focus: The Perils of a Desperation

WORD FOR TODAY
When a man is desperately looking for what God is not ready to give him; he positions himself to lose the most precious things of his life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Make sure that no one is immoral or godless like Esau, who traded his birthright as the firstborn son for a single meal. You know that afterwards when he wanted his father's blessing, he was rejected. It was too late for repentance, even though he begged with bitter tears." (Hebrews 12:16-17 NLT).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is an appointed time for every blessing God intends to give His children. However, when a man becomes desperate to have what God has not approved for him; he will pay dearly for it using the most precious virtue of his life.

Several men have sacrificed their peace, joy, fulfilment, consecration, good relationships and the plan of God for their life on the altar of desperation to have what God is not ready to give them. If you must be desperate; to should be to seek God and do His will. Always seek the help of God to overcome every pressure of expectation from both people of this life and worldliness. Wait upon God for your life's needs, and He shall Bless you appropriately.

+ In what area are you exhibiting desperation?

Lord! I want more of you; I receive the grace not to lose out in destiny on the account of desperation in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Every act of desperation that does not obey the precept of God will rather destroy you than blessing you!!

Have a Fulfilled Week Ahead!!!

Focus: The speck in your Eyes

WORD FOR TODAY
Don't invest your life, precious time and resources into the ministry of criticism. Examine your life and allow God to judge everyone according to their deeds!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? . . . first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.( Matthew 7:3-5 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everything you see men doing is a prototype of what you can also do; rather than criticizing, examine yourself to see if you are doing the same thing in a different dimension. Explore your strength in removing every speck in your eyes.

Let the speck in the eyes of men remind you always of the need to repent from the shortcomings in your life. The best you can do in this end-time; is to stand like Joseph, David and Daniel of our time.

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

+ Is your eyes free from specks?

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

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

Have a Refreshed Worship Experience!!!

Focus: The Lord is Good

WORD FOR TODAY
In every joy, tribulation, faults and failure, challenges, cases of hopelessness, lack, victory, peaceful and blissful moment of life, health and sickness, prosperity and inadequacies the Lord has proven Himself to be good at all times. It takes great faith to know that the Lord is good at all times in every situation of life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"O GIVE thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever." (Psalms 136:1 AMP).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As you move on in life there is one important thing you must always have at the back of your mind about the Almighty God: His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever.

He is a wonderful God who reveals His personality through both the good and bad experiences of life. Most of the experiences we have are born out of His mercy over our lives no matter how terrible they appear to be.

We know Him as a great provider because when in need He provides for us. As a mighty healer because He healed us from our sickness. As the Lord who is mighty in battle because He gave us victory over all challenges of life. As a miracle worker because we see Him always by our side when all hope is lost.

How can we know beyond the written pages of the scripture without various experience of life? Therefore, by experience not by what we were told or read in the scripture that the Lord is good and His mercy endures forever.

+ With respect to everything around you; Have you come to know that God is good at all times?

Lord! I give thanks to you because you are good and your mercies endure forever in my life in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Irrespective of whatever you feel about life the fact remains that He is Good and His mercies endure forever!!!

Have a Blissful Friday!!!

Focus: God Owns Tomorrow

WORD FOR TODAY
The best way to live is to live as if the present moment is the last for you. You must be mindful of the fact that tomorrow is only possible by God's will alone!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"How do you know what will happen tomorrow? For your life is like the morning fog--it's here a little while, then it's gone." (James 4:14 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God did not promise anyone tomorrow. He is the only one who holds tomorrow and determines who will see tomorrow. That is why the Lord admonished us not to worry about tomorrow. Hence, if we should not worry about tomorrow we must cherish the gift of life by making the best use of the moment under control.

We must live our life daily having the orientation that life is a temporary assignment. Several men who had plans for days to come were not given the grace to see this day. Some who were building houses did not live to live in it. Treat every moment you have as your last opportunity and acknowledge God in all your ways.

Take some time and think about your life. Think about those who are travelling on a business trip but never get to their destination. At all times don't forget that life is given to
prepare for eternity.

+ What are you doing with your opportunities?

Lord! I receive the grace to make the best use of my moments in life in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Tomorrow is only guaranteed by the will of God alone!!!

Have an Impressive Thursday!!!

Focus: God will Meet your Needs

WORD FOR TODAY
What you need is something you cannot do without or something that has become critical to the fulfilment of your mandate. The Lord sometimes will not give a man something until it becomes a need!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?" (Matthew 6:25 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The primary need of a man is what he will eat, drink and put on as a cloth. Every other thing is secondary to our existence. In the actual sense, what you don't have that is not a threat to your wellbeing has not become a need. However, the Lord is so gracious in that He is known to meet the needs of men at the appropriate time.

If God gives you life there is no limit to what he can give you. The hope every man has about the glorious future God promised is in the fact that we are a living soul. Hence, life is very much more important than whatever you think you need. Neither destroy your life, sin against God nor fret yourself because of what you think you need. What some people think they need is actually what can destroy their life. If there be anything your earnestly desire, wait upon the Lord; and live with the orientation that He can meet your needs.

+ Have God at any time met your needs?

Lord! Meet my needs as you always do in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Main Emphasis:
The life you have implies that God is not yet through with you and that there is yet a Glory He will manifest in your life!!!

Have a Glorious Wednesday!!!

Focus: Death is not an Issue

WORD FOR TODAY
Death is not an issue for men who died in Christ. But it is for those who did not make the attributes of Christ (holiness, righteousness, humility, love) their lifestyle. Death provides an opportunity for every man to meet His creator!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Write: "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them."" (Revelation 14:13 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The death of a loved one is very painful but not to the victim. Since we will all be poured like water spilt on the ground we need not fear death but prepare for it. You have every reason to fear death if your ways are not pure and if your main treasure is here on earth because death for such is the beginning of a sad end. 

We have heard about the Children of God who faced and confronted death but did not die. The only reason why a believer will continue to live is that; there is yet the Glory of God to be revealed through him.

As we have seen in the words of Jesus; He said "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." (Matt 8:20); He said this because He has not come to stay on earth. Hence, He lived to only please the Father. You also, live your entire life to please the Father; this is the greatest achievement.

+ Where will you spend your eternity?

Lord! Deliver me from sin and every secret fault that can hinder me from making Heaven in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Main Emphasis:
We will all die like other men who did; life is given to prepare for eternity!!!

Have a Fruitful Tuesday!!!

Focus: Be Available for God

WORD FOR TODAY
Availability is more than ability; God will only use a man who is available not men with ability. You are prodigal with the grace of God each time you are not available to be used by Him!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have." (2 Corinthians. 8:12 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whatever you know how to do is not useful, if you will not make yourself available for God's use. Your useful life is that part of your life you use to serve God in service to humanity. You must be mindful of the fact that if you did not make yourself available for God's use, you will be used by the devil. The only way not to be an instrument in the hands of the evil one is to submit yourself to God.

The blessing of God in your life and every grace made available to you in every facet of life; is given to you for kingdom advancement. God in every generation will never lack human resource; make your existence count by making yourself available for His use in the domain of your placement. Be willing to give your best to serve God everywhere you go.

+ Are you available for God's use? Who is using you?

Lord! I will not be prodigal with your grace in my life; I am available, use me for your Glory in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
The Lord needs someone to use; your ability is a waste if you are not available!!!

Have an Exceptional Week Ahead!!!
