               [03-10-2020]

Focus: Waiting on God

WORD FOR TODAY
Waiting on God is an exclusive part of your consecration. If you must have the life God wants to give you; you must know how to wait upon the Lord for everything!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." (Isaiah 40:31NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You will only find strength in God to fulfill your purpose if you wait upon God. The best of the life the Lord wants to give a man may never be possible if he does not know how to wait upon the Lord.

Waiting is actually a way of life and a way to buildup the required strength for every blessing of life. Don't settle for less than what God reserved for your life; find grace under God to be patient enough to allow the promises of God for your life to come to maturity.

Are you waiting on God?

Lord! I receive the Grace to wait on you and have the life you want to give me in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Waiting upon God is waiting for the best prepared for you!!!

Have a Graceful Weekend!!!

Happy New Month

Focus: The Mighty Hands of God

WORD FOR TODAY
What you have achieved so far in life is more of God's grace than your effort. No matter what you feel about life; the fact still remains that the mighty hands of God brought you this far!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day." (Deuteronomy 5:15 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Israelites in a buildup to enter into the promised land were given some instructions. They were to remember that they were slaves in Egypt and that the mighty hands of God brought them through the red sea, journey in the wilderness for forty years without planting a single crop and yet with the daily provision of food.

This year has been a special one and a lot of things has happened. Despite all that has happened the Lord kept you not because you are good or careful enough but God had mercy on you. You must not be ignorant of the fact that several men have died, many jobs have been lost, several business collapsed among others.

As you proceed in destiny be mindful of the fact that it was the mighty hands of God that is getting you going in life. No matter how wonderfully placed you are and the level of God's grace in your life you must never forget who you used to be and that it was the grace of God that made you what you are.

Christianity Etc › Flee From Reproach by jonatoye(op): 7:16am On Sep 30, 2020
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ 
________________________________
               [30-09-2020]

Focus: Flee from Reproach

WORD FOR TODAY
Every invitation or temptation to sin is a call to reproach. Sin no matter how wonderful or presentable it appears to be is a reproach!!!:
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people." (Proverb 14:34 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the garden of Eden when Adam sinned, he could not parade himself but hide. Every man in his right-thinking mind knows that sin is not something you delight in but a reproach. The fact that several people now present act of sin as a norm does not change the fact that it is a reproach which overshadows the glory of God in the life of a man.

The case of the wife of Uriah was a sting in the life of King David. The birth of Ishmael was a significant mistake on the part of Abraham. God forgave these men their shortcomings but it will continue to be in their record from generation to generation.

There is no man who desires a cheating and unfaithful husband or wife. No man will put a corrupt individual at the helm of his affairs. Where there is sin there is a reproach. Flee from sin and submit yourself to do the will of God just like Joseph and Daniel. Honour God with your life and decision; that's the pathway to glory.

               [29-09-2020]

Focus: Desire Righteousness for Elevation

WORD FOR TODAY
In all thy getting, make righteousness a priority; this is the only sure way to elevation in life. To have the life God wants to give you, righteousness is a must!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people." (Proverb 14:34 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If there is something you must seek in every pursuit of life, it must be the Kingdom of God and it's righteousness. There is nothing you get through unrighteous means that will rob you of your peace, joy, fulfilment and the satisfaction you truly desire.

A man can strive to ensure that he is elevated in various aspect of life but true elevation comes from God. No matter what you do, if God did not elevate you, you can never have the real feeling of exaltation. Many people appear to be great but in their heart greatness is far from them; their appearance appear great but they are still struggling in the heart because they know it is fake.

How does a man who stole what belongs to another to build his own empire feels? What can we say of a man who passes an examination through malpractice or attained a position through character assassination? Even if they appear to feel good; deep down in their heart, they know it is fake. Allow God to elevate you. You will only live a life devoid of reproach and find fulfilment in death and eternity when you live righteously and enjoys Gods elevation!!!

________________________________
               [28-09-2020]

Focus: When challenges Come

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

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

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

~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ 
________________________________
               [27-09-2020]

Focus: Be Free from the Love of Money

WORD FOR TODAY
You will not serve God acceptably until you are free from the love of money. There is no limit to the evil you can commit when money becomes your master!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." (Hebrews 13:5 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Money is a good servant but a bad master. It can help you to achieve great things and can as well make you become a monster. It a god which contend with the place of the almighty God in the lives of men. Money has taken many to a place they never wanted to be and has influenced men to do what they never wanted to do. It is capable of buying the conscience of a man.

The best position you should place money is the place of a servant and not a master. Never give too much power to money because despite the fact that it is an indispensable element of the human life on earth the fact still remains that, it can cost you your peace, integrity, purpose, mandate, message, relationships, fulfilment, hope for eternity with God etc. There are several good people in this life who would have made an impact in the lives of men but eventually became a laughing stock because of money.
Don't allow money to rule your heart.

There is nothing you lay your hands upon that will favour or please God in the presence of the love of money!!!

Christianity Etc › Implications Of Evil Deeds by jonatoye(op): 7:33am On Sep 26, 2020
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ 
________________________________
               [26-09-2020]

Focus: Implication of Evil Deeds

WORD FOR TODAY
An evil deed is enough to overshadow several good deeds a man does in his lifetime. It is very easy to remember the evil a man does than his numerous good deeds!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For David had done what was pleasing in the LORD's sight and had obeyed the LORD's commands throughout his life, except in the affair concerning Uriah the Hittite."
(1Kings 15:5 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In everything you do, be mindful of the fact that history does not forgive. Whatever a man does at every point in time goes into the memory lane. A single evil deed of a man is capable of denting the good record. I have come to know by experience that people easily identify and take note of the shortcomings when observing something.

In the evaluation of the life of David, a man after God's heart the issues of Uriah the Hittite whom he killed will not but always come up. Sin breeds bad history; which does not forgive. Sin is a reproach which mars the destiny of a man. Be careful not to destroy the work of God through you and the good legacy you've instituted over the years by yielding yourself to the sinful nature. A man does to himself a great evil each time he yields himself to the works of the flesh.

Christianity Etc › Accept The Truth by jonatoye(op): 5:57am On Sep 25, 2020
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ 
________________________________
               [25-09-2020]

Focus: Accept the Truth

WORD FOR TODAY
Every man will eventually come to the knowledge of the truth. The earlier you accept the truth the better for you!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Buy the truth and do not sell it; get wisdom, discipline and understanding." (Proverbs 23:23 NIV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The truth will always be the truth. It cannot die, no matter how much men try to kill. It can be covered but only within a time limit.

The truth about a thing is not complete until Christ Jesus is revealed. "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6). A man is free to believe anything and live by whatever he thinks. However, the truth(Jesus) is just so patient, gentle and lowly in heart to the point that He always wait for the third day for its revelation.

The truth was beaten, molested and killed but on the third day, He resurrected. There is always the third day in every situation of life. We must live our lives having the third day of every affair of our lives in mind. For those who denied the fact that Jesus is Lord and the only begotten son of God will understand on the third day.

There are men who took advantage of some innocent souls who were at their mercy. The third day will come when their victims will realise their wickedness and their evil deeds will come to remembrance.

Some teachers, pastors, managers and leaders engage in various malpractice in their service to those under them. When the people whom they render such service come to the realization of the truth they will be remembered for their unrighteous deeds. Don't neglect the truth; accept and live by it. When it seems it doesn't pay don't forget the fact that the third day will come.

________________________________
               [24-09-2020]

Focus: What Has Changed?

WORD FOR TODAY
The reception of the spirit of Christ in the life of a man comes with a significant change. The hallmark of a man who is in Christ is that there is a significant transition from a sinful way of life to a new life in Christ!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." (2Corinthians 5:17 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The implication of submitting your life to Christ Jesus is that your life is no longer your own; you can no longer live the way you used to live and that your life is now available for Christ to live His life in your life. Hence, as long as Christ lives in you it will be practically impossible for you to live the way you used to live.

When Zacchaeus encountered Jesus, he repented from his evil ways and restituted his ways before God. There is a call for every one of us to examine our ways to see if truly we are living in newness of life. You cannot claim to be in Christ and still be lying, stealing, fighting, keeping malice, committing adultery, exhibiting unforgiveness and engaging in the act of unrighteousness. All men who are truly in Christ resemble Him in His attributes.

Lord! Give me the grace to submit to your will always; live your life in me in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

               [23-09-2020]

Focus: Don't go too far

WORD FOR TODAY
Every counsel telling you not to go too far in every bid to serve the Lord or advance further into your glorious destiny under God is a counsel meant to bind your life to slavery. There is no man who chooses to be shallow in his relationship with God that will ever enter the rest prepared for him!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"So Pharaoh said, "I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away. Intercede for me." (Exodus 8:28 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The evil one in every facet of life will never stop you from engaging in any activities but will ensure that you are not deeply rooted in your relationship with God. There are several Pharaoh in the likes of job, career, personal ambition, addictions, desire for riches and accomplishment in various aspects of life that will not but always suggest that you should not go far in your pursuit to know God and have a cordial relationship with Him.

Pharaoh made this suggestion to the Israelites in a bid to keep them in captivity. Whatever limit your relationship with God keeps you in captivity of sin and the works of the flesh. The more you give yourself to God and deeply rooted in His word the more you will be free from sin which tends to keep you a slave. This is not about been a fanatics but knowing God and living His life to fulfil His purpose on earth.

In the manner God wants you to be with Him, so also the devil wants you to be an instrument in his hands. Don't fall for the deception of the evil one admonishing you not to go far. If you must have the life God wants to give you and get to your promised land; you must not only go far with Him but also work and walk with Him all the days of your life!

Christianity Etc › The Chains Of Unforgiveness by jonatoye(op): 4:14pm On Sep 22, 2020
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ 
________________________________
               [22-09-2020]

Focus: The Chains of Unforgiveness

WORD FOR TODAY
Unforgiveness is a chain that hinders the prayers, progress, and the fulfillment of a man. It is an attribute that depicts arrogance and wickedness before God!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." (Matthew 6:15 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every man is an offender before God. The fact that God forgave our sins put every one of us under compulsion to forgive those who offend us. Therefore, we have no justifiable reason before God not to forgive others for their shortcomings towards us. Unforgiveness is a chain that chains a man to his unpleasant past, bitterness, and failure.

If your heart is so hard that it cannot be broken to the point of letting go of people's offence, you need serious deliverance because it will lead you to destruction. There is an everlasting resistance before any man who displays or harbour unforgiveness and that resistance is God Himself. Humble yourself under God to forgive men for their sins and be mindful that there is a measure of God in the lives of men created by Him.

Imagine a man who is sad and embittered in 2020 because of what someone did to him in 1994. It is time to move away from what men have done to you in the past. Break the chain of unforgiveness and move into the precious plan of God for your life.

Lord! I receive the grace to always humble myself, grant me a gentle heart that let go of every offence in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

               [21-09-2020]

Focus: Redeeming the Days of Affliction

WORD FOR TODAY
It is in the plan of God for you to experience joy for the days of sorrow and evil as well as beauty for ashes. You have every right to be happy and find fulfillment in every facet of life as a child of God!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Make us glad in proportion to the days in which You have afflicted us and to the years in which we have suffered evil." (Psalms 90:15 AMP).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The peculiarity of the earth in which we are in is that it is characterized by both good and evil. Do not consider it strange when you have evil experiences; know that it is an exclusive nature of this world.

Also, Life is characterized by a change in times and seasons. It is not in the plans of God for your life to have an identical experience throughout your days.

Therefore, it is not wrong for you to desire a change of life as your fleeting years go by. As the psalmist prayed, you also can beg God in this respect. This prayer Job also prayed. Having known that his redeemer lives; waited for his change to come.

If God did for the likes of David and Joseph; He can do it for you. Your life as a child of God will not be an exception. You will have joy for all your sorrow and great blessing for everything you lacked.

________________________________
               [20-09-2020]

Focus: Ways of doing things

WORD FOR TODAY
There are three ways of doing things; the right way, wrong way, and God's way. God does things as it pleases Him and He is unquestionable!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him." (Psalm 115:3 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is not enough that something is right, if there is anything you must do, it is just the will of God and must be done in God's way. As a child of God, you must know and live with the orientation that you are created to fulfill God's purpose. The fact that we are created by God gives Him the liberty to do with our lives whatever it pleases Him.

What God needs from you at every point in time is your cooperation. He needs you to obey and tremble at His word. Uzziah felt it was right to prevent the ark of God from falling but what he felt was contrary to God's principles; this led to his death. God declared "Jacob I love, Esau I hate" right from when they were still in the womb. Even in this, we can't question Him. There is a way with God which is the way of wisdom and mystery.

No matter what you feel in every situation of life, what matters most is what God feels. You must always acknowledge Him in all your ways and rely not on your own understanding. You are not a child of God because of your name, church, dressing, language, or activities but because you choose the way of the Lord and you walk in it.

Thinking deeply, one will come to the realization that God has been so good and that with Him, the future is secured. Without God on one's side, there is nothing but with Him there is everything!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
You, Lord, are all I have, and you give me all I need; my future is in your hands. (Psalm 16:5 GNB)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The journey of life has taught me that God is supreme and He remains the ultimate factor in the life of a man. When He decides to help a man, he makes grace available to make things fall in its rightful place. He has proven to be the help of the helpless and hope for the hopeless.

I have resolved to serve the Lord of my life who brought me this far. He meant more than this world to me and He is the only hope I will always cling to. I won't trade Him with silver or gold; I won't trade Him with riches untold. Because He is my everything. Lord, I thank you for what you have done, what you are doing, and what you will do.

Focus: What Grace will do

WORD FOR TODAY
It is only the grace of God that can help a man to do the will of God. Grace is the strength of God in the life of a man that enables him to do what the arm of the flesh cannot do!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age. (Titus 2:11-12 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No matter what you do in the life of a man, he cannot do the will of God if he has not submitted himself to God to receive grace from Him. It takes a man who has submitted his will to the Lord to receive grace from Him and do what is right. The hallmark of a man who has received the grace of God is the ability to do what God requires at every point in time.

God does not give a man grace to lie, steal, embezzle, commit adultery, or engage in immoralities, as well as exhibiting the works of the flesh in various dimensions of life. Each time grace is made available it teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and help us to live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age. Grace strengthens a man to live above the sinful nature.
________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ Have you received the grace of God?

Prayer Point:
Lord! Let grace be made available for me to do your will always in Jesus' name. Amen!!!

               [14-09-2020]

Focus: More Touch of God

WORD FOR TODAY
Your life is a work in progress in the hands of God; hence, your best is yet to come. The fact that you have been touched by God in various aspects of life does not change the fact that more of His touch is still needed in your life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"He looked up and said, "I see people; they look like trees walking around". Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly." (Mark 8:24-25 NIV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whatever the Lord does remains a message from generation to generation. We have seen men whom the Lord revealed some wonderful things to which is more or less a tip of the iceberg of what He wants them to see but couldn't wait or be patient enough to have a complete dealing or encounter.

Despite the fact that they saw something the fact still remains that they had not seen completely. Just like the man in our text he saw men like trees.

Many of what we call achievements are not actually the best He planned for us. Therefore, we must ensure that we have a full encounter with the Lord and allow Him to work on us completely just like the man in our text patiently waited on God to perfect his sight.

You must be mindful of the fact that most of what the Lord planned for your life has not entered your heart nor the heart of men. Your experience so far in life is evidence of the fact that you need God much more than ever.

Focus: The True Friend

WORD FOR TODAY
In prosperity, our friends know us but in adversity, we know our friends. Jesus Christ is the only true friend who has no record of failure!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"A friend loves at all times, and is born, as is a brother, for adversity." (Proverbs 17:17 AMP).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is a limit to which any friend can go with you. The only true friend you have is the One who actually promised not to leave nor forsake you. There is no friend like Jesus to you.

The friends of this world due to various limitations we all have as humans tend to turn back when the going gets rough. This happened to the disciples of Jesus when He was about to be crucified. They all ran away and denied ever knowing Him. The Lord uses these happenings to show us the real nature of man and to justify why He did not commit Himself to man (John 2:24).

Don't invest your entire life on what will not help you to make eternity with God. Don't allow anything to come between you and your Saviour. Be wise! The best of the friends of a man will only pay him the last respect at his death and turn away.

However, be ever mindful of a friend who remains a friend when other friendship ceases and fail. A friend when life's short race is over. Who will meet you on heaven shore and when home at last; Jesus Christ our Lord!

You are not in friendship with Him until you represent Him accurately in His attributes among men. You are created to be the Jesus that is needed to meet the needs of men in your immediate contact.

Christianity Etc › Capturing Your Boundaries by jonatoye(op): 5:31pm On Sep 12, 2020
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ 
________________________________
               [12-09-2020]

Focus: Capturing your Boundaries

WORD FOR TODAY
Vision is the ability to capture your boundaries. The ultimate test of your character is in how much you can keep within a boundary!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." (Proverbs 29:18 KJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every law of God is meant to give us the vision to keep within a boundary of His will with a view to securing our destiny. A man without a vision is identified if he is been affected by every environmental stimulus thereby being tossed to and fro, and carried about by every wind of doctrine.

Marriage, career, your belief, ministry, etc. creates an opportunity for us to recognize our boundaries. Joseph was in charge of Potiphar's house but he identified his boundaries. He didn't lose sight of his vision and God's plan for his life. Only a man who lacks vision engages in extramarital affairs, embezzles the fund kept at his disposal and destroys a good legacy laid down by men who have gone ahead of him.

The problem of the entire human race began when man failed to keep within the boundary of God's word. Going out of your boundary is a sure way to destruction. You cannot be everywhere and you can't be everything. We are created to fulfill a specific purpose. Therefore, you are expected to keep within a narrow domain so as to maximize your ability to achieve greater results.

Every act of sin is an act of sacrifice that cut short the destiny of a man. When the evil one is set to destroy a man, he presents to him a platform to commit sin!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For the wages of sin is death." (Romans 6:23a NKJV)

A sinner is a person who sins. When a sinner is at the helm of affairs in any domain of placement his altar becomes the altar of sin. When Lord is set to help a man to fulfill his mandate, He gives him a platform. The devil may not hinder him from his activities but will ensure that the platform becomes that of sin.

There are people who after surrendering their lives to God; never stole what belonged to other people nor engage in immorality, but became a thief just because they were assigned to be in charge of money or became adulterous because they had close assess to the opposite sex by the virtue of their office.

Don't sacrifice your peace, future, reputation, anointing and God's plan for your life on the altar of sin. This was what destroyed the likes of Gehazi, Achan and Samson. When God in His mercy places you in various platform to facilitate the fulfillment of your mandate; ensure that you are a faithful steward and please God.

________________________________
               [09-09-2020]

Focus: God is Fair

WORD FOR TODAY
A man will only say God is not fair to him when he takes his inference about his life from comparison. As you are thinking that you don't have what others have don't forget the fact that some people don't have what you have!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"To one he gave five talents of money, to another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey." (Matthew 25:15 NIV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Irrespective of the experience of a man, the fact still remains that God is fair. The one who created us knows our capacity and He gave to every one of us according to what we can bear.

The real picture of how God allocate resources to men on earth is shown to us in today's bible verse. His fairness and graciousness is seen in the fact that He gave everyone atleast something but according to individual capacity and what He gives has the ability to expand and increase.

The Lord is not ignorant of the resources He placed in your disposal; He will only require from you based on the measure of grace made available for you. Therefore, make use of every grace made available for you. It is on this basis that your capacity can increase.

The men who gained five and two were commended equally despite the fact that they were given different amount of resources. Don't be like the man who failed to use the talent given to him. Don't neglect the days of little beginning. Increase your capacity making adequate use of what God has given unto you.
___________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ Do you think God is fair?

~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ 
________________________________
               [08-09-2020]

Focus: Today this Scripture is Fulfilled

WORD FOR TODAY
Each time the Holy Spirit finds expression in the life of a man; the word of the Lord comes to fulfillment. To silence the Holy Spirit is to hinder the manifestation of the word of God!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing." (Luke 4:21NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jesus said: "The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD." (Luke 4:18-19). The Lord lived His life among men to fulfill what He said through the Holy Spirit.

You will only fulfill the predetermined plan of God for your life; if and only if you allow the Holy Spirit to find expression in your life. It is only when the Holy Spirit finds expression that you can preach the gospel. Help the broken hearted, proclaim the liberty of the captive, set the oppressed free and prepare men for the day of the Lord.

We will identify the spirit that is in a man by the way he lives and what he chooses to do at every point in time. When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, It anoints you to do the will of God and be a blessing to your world. However, no matter how you live, it is a fulfillment of the word of God!!!

               [07-09-2020]

Focus: Desire Only Good Success

WORD FOR TODAY
In everything you seek, desire good success and nothing more. A success is good when it is legitimate and devoid of envy or competition. You will enjoy the best of your life when you live with the orientation that there is no competition in destiny!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else." (Galatians 6:4 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try as much as possible to get the best for yourself in every facet of life without competition with anyone. Competition is a distraction and illusion within the spiritual and the physical realm. If you want to command divine sustenance and enlistment, trust God and maintain relevance in your domain of spiritual and physical expertise without competing with anyone.

Destiny is divine. When we waste our time competing with co-workers, neighbours, friends, family, trying to surpass them or perhaps prove that we are more successful or more important we end up missing out on the track to our destinies.
One thing in life is that, there will always be someone ahead of you, someone better than you in various aspect of life.

Life is an organic process that goes from one phase to another. When you explore your uniqueness, you will discover the wings that have been long trapped in you. Face what God wants you to achieve in destiny. Be encouraged to do well like those who set the pace of good deeds. Don't be jealous or become dejected on the account of other people's progress and achievement!!!

Focus: God the Master Planner

WORD FOR TODAY
While we are making our plans, other plans were made for us by the God who created everything. Real happiness, joy and fulfillment happens each time we accept the plans of God for our lives!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"You can make many plans, but the LORD's purpose will prevail." (Proverb 19:21 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Life is what happens while we are planning and thinking about other things. God allows some situations in the lives of men to make things beautiful in its time. When the Israelites requested for a King; God quickly made an arrangement of how Saul will come in contact with Samuel in a bid to anoint him as King. In the arrangement, Saul in his heart set out to look for the lost Ass of his Father but God was bringing Him to Samuel.

The same scenario happened to Joseph. In his heart, he was going to check on his brothers but in God's heart he was going to Egypt to fulfill his dreams. Everything that is happening to you is for a purpose and for your good. Do not reject the plans of God for your life because your fulfillment in destiny depends on it. In every decision you make in life; you must seek to know the plans of God for you and align your life accordingly. The life of a man is better when his plans align with God's plan for his life.

               [05-09-2020]

Focus: God the Builder of Everything

WORD FOR TODAY
God is the ultimate secret behind whatever a man was able to build successfully. Acknowledging God is the most critical factor in every bid to build something!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God" (Hebrews 3:4 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have you at any point in time tried to build something and it did not work out as planned? The issue is that God didn't support you in building it. Human effort alone is not enough to give a man the required success, prosperity and fulfillment he desires in every facet of life.

Whether you believe it or not; spiritual forces have influence on the physical experience or manifestation of a man. Physical blessings manifest when the spiritual blessing is achieved. God is the ultimate spiritual force in every domain of life.

You are not building until God builds on your behalf (Psalm 127:1). You are unable to marry that woman/man, achieve success in that job/career/ministry, cling that contract/admission, have the happiness and fulfillment you so much desire in marriage because God didn't build it for you.

Some people out of desperation use every possible means to achieve something for themselves but ended up becoming miserable because God did not build on their behalf. Acknowledge God in all your way, and He shall direct your path and pattern it to the way of success!!!

WORD FOR TODAY
Life is not about where you are or where you are going but how you are spending your days. You don't need to worry about what has happened to you and what will become of you but living the right life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"So be careful how you live, not as fools but as those who are wise." (Eph.5.15 NLT).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are spending your days. Your time is running out already. You must not be ignorant of this, as you proceed in destiny. There is no doubt in the fact that a lot has happened to you and the fact that you have an aspiration for a glorious future. Whatever the case may be don't allow your past or what you will become make you to live wrongly.

The life you have is God's ultimate gift for you and you must not waste it. What really matters about your life is how you are using it now. In life, several people didn't achieve what God wanted them to achieve because of the limitations posed to their lives through their past experiences. Many others are not pleasing God because of what they want to achieve. No man can predict what will become of him, in the next moment because only God can guarantee the future. Live your days to please God!!!

WORD FOR TODAY
There is nothing you have that was not given to you. The fact that there is nothing you have that will not finish; makes it paramount for you to use what you have to glorify God and fulfill your mandate!!!
************************************
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)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are two ways to everything a man has; it is either he leaves them or they leave him. Consider it a privilege when God in His mercy makes grace available to you in certain areas of life. The grace of God in the life of a man makes people to root for him. When people begin to seek and root for you in any area of life be mindful of the fact that God is making grace available for you to fulfill your mandate in life.

Don't see the grace of God over your life as an opportunity to enrich and fulfill your selfish desire and appetite. Be careful not to live by the orientation which says "Use what you have to get what you want" but use what God has given you to please Him and bless humanity.

Be mindful of the fact that whatever God gives you (Beauty, Handsomeness, Anointing, Money, Talent, Riches, Authority) is given for a purpose; and you will give account of how you make use of His gift in your life. Use what God has given you at first to please God and then to fulfill your purpose in life!!!

WORD FOR TODAY
Confidence in what the Lord has said is the hallmark of all men who truly have faith and trust in God. You are likely to lose, each time you place much focus on what is happening to you than the promises of God over your life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And the LORD, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed." (Deuteronomy 31:8 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If there is anything the devil desires for your life, is that you should lose hope and give up on God's promises for your life. The essence of the challenges you are having is to prompt you not to believe what God wants to make out of your life. You are not defeated until you accept defeat and give up on what God has said concerning you.

As you proceed in destiny, you must not stop believing in God and what you are trusting Him to make out of your life no matter how terrible the situation may appear to be. Wait for His help and salvation no matter how it tarries in every situation of life. Hold your head high at all times to fulfill your mandate in the land of the living.

Focus: You will not Taste Death

WORD FOR TODAY
The ultimate plan of God for your life in every facet of life is His manifestation. Even when the situation around you suggests or predicts death, always remember God promised manifestation!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom." (Matthew 16:28 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is no doubt in the fact that we will not but come to point where everything around us will suggest death. You are likely to come to particular terms where life situation will rule out the fulfillment of some of your dreams and the words of God peculiar to life and destiny. Life can equally give you some instances and valid evidence of the need to give up.

Jesus said some but not all; who are standing with him will not taste death! Your faith matters in this case because your faith determines your experience. If you have faith; the word of the Lord to you is that you will not taste death until you see His intervention in every issue peculiar to your life and destiny.

Even when you don't know how God will work out the fulfillment of His word in your life in the face of glaring evidence of death, you just have to believe and keep faith alive. God told Simeon that he would not die until he had seen the Messiah (Luke 2:26). It happened just as the Lord promised him. As you are advancing towards the end of the year the word of the Lord for you is that you will not taste death but you will experience divine intervention of the Lord in every facet of your life!!!

WORD FOR TODAY
There is a end to every situation of a man in the land of the living. Everything on earth is meant to come to pass!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And it came to pass, on that very same day, that the LORD brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt according to their armies." (Exodus 12:51 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every man no matter how great cannot live forever in the land of the living. Nothing is actually permanent. However, change is constant in every domain.

Whatever the situation of your life might have appeared to be it is meant to come to pass. As a living soul you must not forget the words of the preacher about various times and seasons (Eccl 3:1-11) and the fact that God makes everything beautiful at His own time.

Before now you have been faced with several life's challenges which is now a testimony. This is an important signal to you that the present issues of your life will eventually pass away. No matter how tough it may appear to be it has an expiring date.

The Israelites couldn't believe it when they saw the deliverance of the Lord in the land of their slavery. It happened just like a dream. This is how the Lord will also put an end to your problems, misery, sickness, trouble. After every weeping of the night there is always joy in the morning.

Don't give up on God whatever the situation may be but keep your faith alive in Him to bring to pass His promises over your life and turning your sorrow into Joy, weeping into laughter, mourning into jubilation and poverty into prosperity.

Focus: Where are you missing it?

WORD FOR TODAY
Every man who failed in destiny missed it at a point. To be what God wants you to be, you must remain focused and cooperate with Him as you proceed in destiny!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Reuben, you are my firstborn, My might and the beginning of my strength, The excellency of dignity and the excellency of power. Unstable as water, you shall not excel, Because you went up to your father's bed; Then you defiled it-- He went up to my couch. (Genesis 49:3-4 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man derails from the perfect plan of God for his life at every point he chooses to do contrary to the will of God to walk out of His pattern for his life. Every man will surely come to a critical junction which will serve as a turning point where he will decide what his fate will be in destiny.

The manner Jacob spoke about Reuben in the text above indicates that he started very well until he came to a point where he missed it. The only thing he was able to get is that "he will not excel". Joseph equally came to this junction but he chose to focus on doing the will of God and he preserved his mandate.

Your actions today determines what your fate will be tomorrow be it in academics, marriage, career, ministry and other aspect of life. When you take a critical look at the life of people like Adam, Cain, Saul, Gehazi, Esau etc. you will discover that there is no other way to miss it in destiny than to disobey the word of God.

Focus: All these things I will give you

WORD FOR TODAY
The essence of the promises the devil is making to every living soul is to have you bow to him. There is nothing you can get through unrighteousness without bowing to the devil!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me." (Matthew 4:9 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our Lord came to a point at the onset of His ministry on earth, where the devil came to test Him in a bid to make Him fail exactly the way Adam failed in the beginning. The devil adopted the strategy of fake promises similar to the one he used for Adam and Eve. You also, as long as you live, will always get to the the junction of having an option of bowing to the devil.

There are several people who are bowing down to the devil today in different dimensions. Each time a man considers and does contrary to the word of God to act contrary to His will, he is worshiping the devil.
The word of God says:
Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? (Rom 6:16).

It is an established fact that God cannot tell you to steal, kill, backbite, embezzle, fight, keep malice, display unforgiveness, engage in any act of unrighteousness etc. The one you truly serve dictates the tune of your life.
