________________________________
               [26-07-2020]

Focus: Be Simple

WORD FOR TODAY
Every true child of God is simple. One of the attribute of the sons of God is simplicity of mind and humility!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"But Jesus called them to Him and said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God." (Luke 18:16 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Lord Jesus relates with different category of people; the rich, poor, male, female, children, young people, adult, sinners, unbelievers, believers, religious leaders and followers, the Jew and the non-Jews. Most times they came to Him and sometimes He goes to them.

If the spirit of Christ is truly in a man, he cannot but be simple. He will be loving, caring and approachable. His life will be an extended hand of the creator meeting the needs of men.

The Lord wants us to possess a child-like heart towards Him and in our relationship with men. Despite the fact that a man cannot but live by certain principles peculiar to his life the fact still remains he created to affect lives and so he must be simple.

The Lord is looking forward for homes that will provide shelter for the homeless, food for the hungry, future for the hopeless and refuge for those in danger. Make yourself available to be used of God to affect lives. Christ is able to help us and meet our needs because He came down to our level to identify our needs by experience.

Christianity EtcYour Primary Assignment by jonatoye(op): 9:21am On Jul 25, 2020
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ 
________________________________
               [25-07-2020]

Focus: Primary Assignment

WORD FOR TODAY
Your family is the first platform of your ministry. Any success achieved in ministry at the detriment of your immediate contact and family is a fluke!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, "Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you." (Mark 5:19 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your family and close associates are the first set of people who can really tell us the accurate measure of your personality. They are the ones who have direct feeling of your growth in every facet of life. Therefore, your lifestyle before them is a factor that determines the view they have about your God.

Your ministry is meaningless when it not meaningful to your family and those who keep a close watch on your life. It is a pity that there are several so called men of God who have big names with people in the church and even in the media but are no where to be found in terms of integrity, righteousness, love and holiness before their wives, children, husbands and close associates.

The first target of your ministry is your household. What did not work within the circumference of your household cannot work with people afar off. Charity begins at home. Whatever you will be in the public must take its root from your house hold. If you must give, care, show love and share the best of your testimony, it must start from your home. Stop struggling for pulpit put your house and immediate contact in order.

+ Is your household very much aware of the great things the Lord has done in your life?

Prayer Point:

Christianity EtcWill You Also Go Away? by jonatoye(op): 7:21am On Jul 23, 2020
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ 
________________________________
               [23-07-2020]

Focus: Will You Also Go Away?

WORD FOR TODAY
The essence of the investment of God over His children is to ensure they are with Him and fulfill divine mandate. However, God is not interested in men who are not loyal to Him and those who only want to use Him to fulfill their selfish desire!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away?" (John 6:67 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When people began to leave Jesus as a result of the truth He revealed to them, he did not assume that the twelve disciples who were with Him will not also go. He asked:"Do you also want to go away?" The Lord will not force Himself or His will on anyone but He is only interested in men who are willing and loyal.

There are several men on whom the Lord invested so much, in a bid to prepare them to fulfill divine mandate and purpose but later went a way to be an instrument in the hands of the devil. Like the prodigal son, many of these people went their own way and squander the grace of God in their lives. The snare of worldliness and desire for riches didn't allow most of these people to do the will of God and fulfill their mandate.

Despite the fact that the Lord has done so much for you; His desire is for you to be loyal to Him and fulfill divine purpose. Don't use the investment of God over your life to fulfill selfish desire. Whatever the case may be with you, be mindful of the fact that only those who are loyal to Him will have a space in what He is doing and His eternal presence.
___________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ Have you gone away? Are you going away? Will you also go away? Can the Lord count on you?

Christianity EtcA Test Of Loyalty by jonatoye(op): 7:58am On Jul 22, 2020
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ 
________________________________
               [22-07-2020]

Focus: A Test of Loyalty

WORD FOR TODAY
Whatever we see Jesus do is a prototype of what is expected of us to do. We must learn to always put every relationship to test in a bid to validate the loyalty of people involved!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away?" (John 6:67 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every man created by God is created for relationship. In every relationship you must not be ignorant of the fact that man will always be man. Life has proven that our friends know us in prosperity while we know our friends in adversity. Don't be eaten up by the number of people associating with you, you must be sure of their loyalty.

There are men who will not speak the truth to their friends, church members and colleagues because they want to keep them and be in their good book. People who are not loyal will not be available to help at the most important time they will be needed. It is very dangerous to depend on people that are not loyal.

A man at any level of life will be deceiving himself if those relating with him are not loyal to him. The Lord is not ignorant of this; that He asked His disciples if they will also go after several people left Him when He revealed the will of God which is very hard for the flesh to take. Do not hesitate to release men who are not loyal to the course and purpose of God as well as what you are doing!

A test of loyal through the help of God is required in every relationship!!!

Christianity EtcTotal Dependence On God by jonatoye(op): 7:45am On Jul 21, 2020
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ 
________________________________
               [21-07-2020]

Focus: Total dependence on God

WORD FOR TODAY
Total dependence on God is not by choice but a must for all God's children. If you must experience the Kingdom of God in the affairs of your life you must stop thinking and acting like a pagan!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:31-33 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A pagan is not necessarily a man who does not know God but a man who thinks he doesn't need God for everything. They are ambitious people who will do just anything if it would help them to achieve their aims even if it means compromising their faith. They are mostly eaten up by care and worries of this life.

The Lord Jesus is making it known to us that God is not ignorant of all our needs and desires as humans. He is aware of the fact that you need to eat, put on good clothes and achieve wonderful things in life.

You must depend on God for everything if you want to see God in action in your life. The almighty God will never share His Glory with any man. An attempt to use God to only fulfill your selfish ambition is an attempt to keep Him out of the affairs of your life.

The Lord is not saying that you should just sit down and expect things to happen automatically in various aspect of life. In seeking for your needs you must not do it like a pagan. You must seek the involvement of God by living according to His righteousness in every affairs of your life. Live your entire life having this orientation that there is more to life than what you will eat, wear and achieve in life. Everything is all about God.

Christianity EtcIn A Little While by jonatoye(op): 7:57am On Jul 20, 2020

________________________________
               [20-07-2020]

Focus: In a Little While

WORD FOR TODAY
Life is a temporary assignment. As you proceed in destiny, you must be mindful of the fact that God will only allow men to experience your impact in a little while!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me." (John16:16 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Irrespective of who you are, you must be mindful of the fact that in a little while people will see you no more. The good and the bad deeds of men will come to an end. Our Lord Jesus made it clear to His disciples that irrespective of who he is to them and what they see him do, in no distance time they will see Him no more.

The fact that life is very uncertain should always prompt us to do all we could when we have the opportunity to do it. The things happening around us keep sending us a signal that God promised no one the certainty of tomorrow.

As you go about your normal activities, do things as if that may be your last opportunity. You must always trust God to help to give your best and do what is right at all times. Live your entire life being mindful of the admonition of the Lord: All of us must quickly carry out the tasks assigned to us by the one who sent me, because there is little time left before the night falls and all work comes to an end (John 9:4 NLT)

Christianity EtcSin Does Not Die by jonatoye(op): 6:55am On Jul 19, 2020
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ 
________________________________
               [19-07-2020]

Focus: Sin Does Not Die

WORD FOR TODAY
Sin does not die; every sin once committed in life, no matter how long, can still rise up in the future to sting the person that committed it. You can only weaken the power of sin when you confess and forsake them!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy."
(Proverb 28:13 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is no other way to hinder your prosperity than to keep covering your past sin and living in it continuously. A man can only have freedom from the grip of sin when he chooses to expose it. Every guilt and act of blackmail thrives on covered sin.

Sin of the past will always threaten our present and also aim to destroy our future. When Achan stole what was dedicated to God, he did all he could to hide it. He thought he had succeeded but the issue eventually came up and cut short his life. The same will happen to every man who covers his sin.

Don't be eaten up by the fact that nothing happened when you sinned; the consequence of every sin goes ahead to wait for you in the future. Do not be ignorant of the fact that God visits the sin of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation (Deut 5:9). Whenever you sin try all you could to confess and forsake it. In that way you will find mercy through the blood of Jesus.

Focus: God does not Change

WORD FOR TODAY
The God we serve is an unchangeable God in all situations. He remains the same both in good and bad times of life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For I am the LORD, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob." (Malachi 3:6 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man was appreciating God for His goodness in their lives by saying that he serves a God that does what he says. This is absolutely true. I paused to think about it and remembered that the same God made it clear to us that in this world we will see trouble but victory is assured.

The only issue with men is that we always forget the goodness of the Lord when things appear to be getting worse contrary to our expectations. As the Lord is doing great things in our lives we should be mindful that life is in two phases. There are people in terrible situation of life presently not because they are sinners but because such is life. Hence, in all situation, God is God and after Him there is no other.

Christianity EtcDetachment From Materialism by jonatoye(op): 7:25pm On Jul 17, 2020
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ 
________________________________
               [17-07-2020]

Focus: Detachment From Materialism

WORD FOR TODAY
Self-denial in detaching you from materialism is required if you must please God in every facet of life. You cannot serve the Lord effectively if greater part of your life is attached to materialism (vanities of life)!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me." (Mark 10:21 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I heard of a man who finds it very difficult to sleep due to the fact that some of his trucks are yet to arrive even when several others were already parked. He was unable to sleep because certain percentage of his life is not with him. Jesus said; you cannot keep your heart away from where your treasure is.

Several men want to follow the Lord and do His will but what they attach their lives to, will not allow them. The Lord does not want us to place our hearts on ephemeral things of this life. Therefore, He frowns at accumulating material possessions because the more things you gather the more attached your life will be to them and the less your consecration will be to God.

Hence, Jesus told the young rich man to detach himself from his riches by giving it out to the poor. The Lord is also speaking to you; that you must not be too attached to this life as your fleeting years go by. Only what you are able to save as treasure in heaven is what is truly your own. It will be increasingly difficult to please God as you should until you give yourself away to God and detach yourself from laying vanities.

Focus: Lord, what do You want me to do?

WORD FOR TODAY
Every man who truly desires to please God will always seek to know what God wants him to do. You will not become what God wants you to be, until you do what He wants you to be!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"So he, trembling and astonished, said, "Lord, what do You want me to do?" Then the Lord said to him, "Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
(Acts 9:6 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The turning point in the life of Apostle Paul came when He sought to know what to do when he had an encounter with the Lord. Irrespective of your experience at every point in time, the fact still remains that there is something God wants you to do. Live your life, always having interest in what the Lord will say about a particular situation.

The intention of God will always come to you in His word. Each time the word of the Lord comes to you, it comes to instruct you on what to do. The more you submit yourself to act according to His word the more your life will align to His plans and purpose. At every junction of life, if you must please Him, you must not but always ask the Lord what He wants you to do. The best of what the Lord will make out of your life will manifest when you cherish and accept the word of God for your life.

WORD FOR TODAY
The best way to live is to live having the future in mind. The fact that this moment will pass and all that is being done will pass and go into the memory lane should always prompt you to give your best and do well!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Whatever you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom." (Ecclesiastes 9:10 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In everything you do and whatever position you occupy or wherever you find yourself, don't forget the fact that there is a grave. Every man is destined to go into the memory lane. You will leave where you are and whatever you are doing. People will speak of your deeds in your absence.

The track of your deeds is in record even if it appears as if no one is saying something about it. Both God and men place a close watch on your life. The man who stole what belonged to others and executed substandard project will be remembered for it. People will never forget how he mismanaged the resources at his disposal and how the institution he led became poor because of his selfish appetite.

Always remember that a day is coming when you will give an account. After your existence in any domain of life, your name will either be a blessing or a curse. Now that you have the opportunity to make a good mark in the sand of time, do good. Don't waste any opportunity you have to bless life and please God.

WORD FOR TODAY
A vain person is the one who is driven by his desire to receive praise from men. He is a hypocrite who is more worried about giving the impression that he does good deeds than actually doing good deeds for their own sake!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. (Matthew 6:2 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A vain person can be regarded as "hypocrite". It is used to describe someone who is concerned about projecting a certain character to his audience and pretending to be something he is not.

The vain person also is more likely to fall into divisive actions in his attempt to show he is not inferior to others in his intellect, will, speech, and deeds. They posses the intellectual vice of obstinacy: "by which a man is too much attached to his own opinion," such that he is unwilling to accept another opinion that might be better.

Their lifestyle encourge discord , which is an unwillingness to give up one's own will and concur with others. They engage in contention, whereby a man likes to be argumentative. They are disobedient to every godly principles just to ensure that they receive praises from men.

************************************
Scriptural Reference
"So he went down and dipped seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean."
(2Kings 5:14 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The only thing required of Naaman to be made whole from the leprosy he suffered over the years was to just dip seven times in the river Jordan. He couldn't get the instruction until he came to the God of Israel. His flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child when he submitted himself to obey the words of the Lord from His prophet.

There is just something you must do to experience a turn around from every challenging situation of your life. The solution you earnestly desire over various issues in your life will only take place if you come to the Lord and you obey his words for you. Hence, when his message comes to you, humble yourself and obey His word.

God is not a magician; His words will only work for you when you walk and work according to His words.

"Then to Adam He said, "Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, "You shall not eat of it': "Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life." (Genesis 3:17 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The problem of the entire human race began when Adam disobeyed God. The verdict of God over him affected all men who were born after him. There is no man who disobeyed God be it deliberately or not that did not invite curse on him or herself.

Majority of the problems in the world today was because of the fact that men chose not to obey God. There is no how the promises of God will come to pass in the life of a man who fails to tremble at His word in a bid to work and walk according to its principles.

The likes of King Saul, Achan, Gehazi would have saved themselves from the troubles they brought upon themselves and their generation if they obeyed the words of God. You will save yourself from several problems of life if you will always submit yourself to obey God.

Each time the Lord anoints a man, He anoints him to do what is good. The essence of the provision of salvation freely made available to all mankind is to bring about the establishment of God's will in every domain of life. It was recorded in the scripture that everywhere the Lord Jesus went, He was doing good.

In this age, Jesus is still moving around doing good through the lives of men. He is also working in your life if you are also doing good. The word of the Lord makes it clear that God is highly interested in seeing that we shine as light through the dark world; that it is in this that God will receive glory over our lives.

As you proceed in destiny, be mindful of the fact that wherever you find yourself, you are called to do that which is good (the will of God). Doing this will only be possible when you allow God to work in you to do His good pleasure. Preserve what God wants to make out of your life by doing what is good.

Irrespective of the season you find yourself at every point in time, you must be mindful of the fact that God is the God of all seasons; who deserves to be praised and worshipped. You must be mindful of the following:

1. You came naked: You have nothing, if there is something you claim to have it was given to you. You must not be an ingrate be it in little or much, in gain and in loss; learn to appreciate God.

2. You will return naked. Everything you have is just an attachment that you will either leave or they will leave you. Learn how to empty yourself of whatever achievement you have to worship God. Store up your treasure in heaven; it is only what you are able to store in heaven that is truly your own.

3. You don't have what you don't have because God has not given you. When He gives no one can take. Seek God for what you need.

4. No man can have what the Lord has taken away from him.

Irrespective of what you feel at any point in time by the virtue of your experience; don't forget to worship God who rules in the affairs of men.

Focus: In the Time of Famine

WORD FOR TODAY
Famine is God's quality control test for His people. You can never know who you are until you find yourself in famine - Lanre Adeboye!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small." (Proverbs 24:10 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is no generation that will not experience its famine. The likes of Abraham, David, Daniel, Joseph and other experienced famine and their experiences became the basis of their faith. Your life will not be an exception.

Someone can have money but God will bring a famine that money cannot solve. Sometimes God withdraws the amount of care He gives to believers that are no longer infants to make them realise that they now need to stand on their feet in the midst of adversity.

It is a pity that some people grow in the hands of God as if they will be useful to Him but fail under pressure of intense famine meant to validate their stand in Him. Your reaction in the time of famine speaks much about your strength and place in God.

Question For Meditation
+ Have you not been failing under the pressure of famine?

Prayer Point:
Lord! I receive the grace to stand and do your will in the days of adversity in Jesus name. Amen.

_______________________________
               [05-07-2020]

Focus: Go and Do Likewise

WORD FOR TODAY
Every experience you have with men, be it good or bad, is a lesson meant to teach you how it feels when you do the same to others. When God brings men to your aid, He did that to prepare you to do likewise to others!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
" Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise." (Luke 10:37b NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Lord has been so gracious to us right from the day of our birth and brought us this far in the journey of destiny. Have you ever at any point thought about what would have happened to you if no one cared about you after your birth and just leave you as a day old child to fend for yourself? The fact that you are reading this, signifies that God has sent several men to help you in this life.

There is no doubt in the fact that you have faced both the positive and negative side of life, and you have had both bad and good experiences with men. The bad experience you have is meant to teach you what it feels to have bad experience, help people who are having it and to ensure that your actions don't make people to have it.

When God brings people to help you, pay your bills (rent, school fees, hospital bills, debt), connect you to get a job and greatness, help you in business and career, build you up academically and spiritually; it is also to make you know how it feels to enjoy such grace. God does most of these to prepare us to do likewise. As you enjoy His grace in different dimensions of life, you must always remember the words of the Lord which says: go and do likewise. Be mindful of the fact that the best part of your existence is that part you lived blessing other people.

~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~
________________________________
[04-07-2020]

Focus: Train Up A Child

WORD FOR TODAY
Every parent has an important responsibility of presenting a model of a wonderful future to every child they come in contact with. A man will only become whatever he sees!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it." (Proverb 22.6 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sole responsibility of every parent or guardian is to ensure that a child sees the future through their lifestyle. It is an established fact that a child will only become whatever he or she sees or hears. A new born baby does not have language, food, culture, religion or wisdom; his parent, teacher, guardian and those in his environment determine all these.

Therefore, God is counting on you to train up every child that comes in contact with you the right values of life and the will of God. Place around every child what you want him or her to be in the future. A father or mother who is unfaithful, tell lies, fight their neighbours, steal what belongs to others, keep malice, encourage disunity and selfishness, engage in domestic violence, encourage malpractices and sponsors discord among brethren cannot expect a child who sees him/her to do better and live rightly.

Don't ever say a particular child is not yours; that it is the responsibility of their biological parent to train up their wards. When a child turns out to be good such will bring blessing to all and when a child turns out to be bad such will affect all. A way to prepare for the future is to take the responsibility of training a child at all levels!!!

Focus: A Time to Return

WORD FOR TODAY
One of those things that must never go away from your thoughts as you proceed in destiny is "when you will return". Life is a journey which is destined to end at a set time!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then the king said to me (the queen also sitting beside him), "How long will your journey be? And when will you return?" So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time." (Nehemiah 2:6 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is a time limit to everything on earth. Sooner or later, all men will go to the way of the earth at a time set the the creator. No matter your lot in the land of the living, you must be mindful of the fact that you will return someday.

Any man who embarks on a journey will surely return home someday. It is a pity that we will not but leave this earth to pass on to eternity. In the midst of progress, Joy, happiness and various life's achievements don't forget the fact that earth is not your home. You must always apply your heart to wisdom as you live on.

Thank God for your journey so far on earth. The Question coming to you at this very point in time is: How long do you think your journey be? And when exactly will you return? Despite the fact that you have no answer to the above questions the fact still remains that you have a set time known to God.

Therefore, as you advance in age, live with great expectation and understanding of your end in view. Serve the Lord now that you have the grace to do so; for the night is coming when no one can work.

Focus: The Negative and Positive Side of Life

WORD FOR TODAY
It takes both negative and positive situation to have results in life. Whatever comes your way is meant to assist you to become what God wants you to be!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Life is characterized by both positives and negatives; advantages and disadvantages. Any man who goes on in life thinking about only positives or only negatives is bound to fail. With your experiences so far in life I think you don't need anyone to tell you that life is all about both positive and negative.

All those who became what God wanted them to be in life did not achieve it on the platter of gold. They all had a share of their own ordeal in the journey. The negative situations of their lives shaped them into what God wanted to achieve with their lives. David was able to say at a point in his life that "God trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze". Joseph told his brothers that they were instruments of God to bring his dreams to pass (Gen 45:5).

Hence, do not fret yourself at the emergence of negative situation of life. Don't let the negatives of life consume you. They are part of the process that will make you who God wants you to be. If you must be conscious of the bad situation in your life let it become a driving force and motivation to achieve great things!

WORD FOR TODAY
God is your shepherd when you allow Him to lead you and you submit yourself to work and walk in His ways. When God is your shepherd He will meet both your physical and spiritual needs!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"The LORD is my shepherd; I have everything I need." (Psalm 23:1 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
David gave an account of his experience when he made God his shepherd. The summary is that God met all his needs. From his experience, we can speculate what we should expect when we make God our shepherd (Ps 23:1-6):
1. God will meet your needs. You will reach your goal irrespective of what happens.
2. God will take you to the best level of your life. When you remain where He wants you to be, it will become a green pasture for you.
3. God will bring you into the reality of His packages for your life and you will have rest.
4. God will lead you through the path of righteousness to make your path shine brighter.
5. God will keep you safe from all evils and make you to come out victoriously from every challenge of life.
6. God will anoint you to bless lives on every platform he prepared for you to fulfill your mandate.
7. God will make your life to be characterized by His mercy and goodness and you will not be lost in His purpose all the days of your life.

You cannot continue in sin and still claim God is your shepherd. When He leads a man on the path of righteousness. If you must be what God wants you to be and live in the reality of His divine purpose you must allow Him to lead you as a shepherd!

________________________________
               [30-06-2020]

Focus: Understand Your Calling

WORD FOR TODAY
Every man created by God has a special and unique calling. Your fulfillment under God begins with identifying your calling!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"This letter is from Paul, Jesus Christ's slave, chosen by God to be an apostle and sent out to preach his Good News." (Romans 1:1 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In most of the letters Apostle Paul wrote to the people of God he ministered to, he did not fail to acknowledge and express in a very clear term what God called him to do. Throughout his ministry, he did not lose focus or become enthusiastic about anything else but what he was called to do. Failure in destiny begins each time a man lose focus and become enticed by what others are doing; leaving what they are called to do.

Despite the fact that knowledge about many things is required to become very vast and effective in your ministration in what you are called to do, the fact still remains that you must not be carried away from doing what you are required to do. God will only reward and help you for doing the assignment for which you were created and kept alive till date.

As you proceed in destiny you must keep identifying the boundaries of your calling, mandate and purpose in life even as you pray to God for help. Don't engage in frantic race to be like others around but rather channel your love, strength, knowledge, resources and every God's given grace to fulfill your calling.

WORD FOR TODAY
A man with a good heart and eyes will always identify and appreciate what is good in both things and men without sentiment. The nature of your heart and eyes determine what you see in things and people!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things." (Phillipians 4:8 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is very easy for a man to see what is not good in things and people. Practically, it takes time for people to see what is good in things, people and circumstances that appears not perfect. We must cultivate the habit and trust God to help us to see things with the right frame of mind.

There is no doubt in the fact that life is characterized by both positives and negatives. Don't be too quick to condemn things when they appear not good enough. If there is a need for criticism it should be constructive with adequate recommendation for improvement.

Encourage what is good even when they appear not good enough or not up to your standards. Don't be an agent of destruction to what men are doing or their intentions. Appreciate every effort men in place to achieve something even if it turns out not to be promising!!!

Focus: Test, Trials and Temptation

WORD FOR TODAY
Test, trials and temptations are part of the experience of the human life. With respect to the challenges you are facing God is testing you, the devil is tempting you and you are passing through trials of life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. (James 1:2-4 ESV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For everything that has to do with your life, God who is your creator and devil your arc enemy is very interested. Everything you are passing through; to God it is a test, but to Satan is a temptation and to you in the situation it is a trial.

Test of life is necessary because God will never use a man He has not proved and He will never place anything serious into the hands of a man who cannot stand the test of time. The likes of Joseph, Abraham, Daniel and David were tried before they became something for God.

The devil will always try all he can do to ensure that you fall and your destiny fails under God. Hence, you must submit yourself to God and His principles. If a man is resolute in his decision to obey God, he cannot fail no matter how great the temptations before him. A man only falls each time he is caught in the trap of selfish desire. Always ask God to help, comfort and strengthen you in every situation of life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 abou!!!

Focus: The Presentation of a Man to the World

WORD FOR TODAY
Every man created by God will come to a point in the journey of destiny, where fate, faith and his decision will decide what will become of Him. No matter how great the love of men is toward your life; a time will come when they will not be able to help even if they want to!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"But when she could no longer hide him, she got a little basket made of papyrus reeds and waterproofed it with tar and pitch. She put the baby in the basket and laid it among the reeds along the edge of the Nile River. The baby's sister then stood at a distance, watching to see what would happen to him." (Exodus 2:3-4 NLT).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The mother of Moses did an excellent job to nurture him for three months in a bid to preserve his life and mandate at a time when death sentence has been pronounced. At a point she could no longer keep him but to place him in the basket by River Nile and watch from afar what will become of Him. The best she could do is to pray and hoped for the best on his behalf.

After a man is born, he will be nurtured, afterwards he will be presented to the world to fulfill his mandate on earth. At the point of his presentation, his destiny now lies in his hands through his decision and choices in life. As for Daniel among his peers; he excelled due to the fact that he has a purpose of heart to do God's will at all cost. As a young man every investment of God and that of people in your life is to prepare you against the day of your presentation to the world. Most of the support you used to enjoyed will not always be there.

Every parent, teacher, pastor, discipler and all men whom God gave the opportunity to build lives must be mindful of the fact that there is a limit to the time in which you will have ultimate influence on those God placed into your hands. Jesus at a point dedicated time to pray to God for his disciples "Sanctify them by Your truth" (John 17:17). Make best use of the opportunity you have to build the lives of men placed at your disposal.

Focus: What the Lord Requires from You

WORD FOR TODAY
In the journey of destiny, you must be mindful of the fact that God wants you to do what is right, love mercy and walk in absolute humility before Him!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The lifestyle of Christ revealed to us by the way He lived, as it was written in the scripture and His teachings are typical examples of what is good and a way of life for anyone who desires to please God. The mercy of the Lord is shown in that we are not ignorant of His requirement for our lives.

Therefore, we are expected to love justice. We are only wise each time we submit ourselves to do what is right and only just what is right. Each time the Lord chooses to behold His own people, He will love to see them doing that which is right. He was well pleased with Jesus when he beheld Him doing His will.

Also, we are expected to love mercy. We must always remember God also so He had mercy on us; forgiving our sins and giving us a new life. We must also replicate His mercy by forgiving those who offend us, accepting and bringing to restoration those who stray away from faith or those who fall in sin and helping the needy. You must be mindful of the fact that loving mercy is a prerequisite for obtaining God's mercy.

Lastly, you must walk humbly with your God. You must keep knowing that without God there is nothing you are. He is the only consolation a dust like you have in this terrain.

WORD FOR TODAY
One thing you must be mindful of as you proceed in destiny is that God is a God of process and not a magician. The best way to be who God wants you to be in any facet of life is to submit yourself to the laid down process required by God for your life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"On the seventh day, having finished his task, God rested from all his work.(Genesis 2:2 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the beginning when God created the earth, it took Him seven days to bring it to perfection. It is not the case that He cannot command and bring everything to reality in just a day but He did not, just to let us know that everything in life requires process.

When the Lord made it clear that He had rejected King Saul and prompted Samuel to anoint David; one would think that He would ascend the throne immediately but it took several years for that to come to pass. God can make King Saul to die but He didn't. When the time became ripe and David had successfully undergone the process required for him to ascend the throne under God he became King.

When the promises of God comes to you, it sets you on a mountain called revelation. It will require time and walking in the premises of God's promises to get to the mountain of the fulfillment of His promises. The word "automatic" is not applicable to any issue that has to do with purpose and mandate. You don't need to struggle or engage in frantic race to become anything in life but submit yourself to the process required.

Focus: Dealing With Your Appetite

WORD FOR TODAY
Dealing with your appetite is an attitude you must imbibe in every quest to fit into God's purpose and fulfill your mandate in life. There is no man who became great for God without dealing with his appetite!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little." (Phillipians 4:12 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the Lord is set to use men for His glory, He ensures that their appetite is pruned. He took the Israelites through the wilderness for 40 years just to prune their appetite by making them to know by experience that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD ( Deut 8.3).

Daniel did not become 10 times better without dealing with his appetite. It is not as if the King's delicacy was not attractive to him but he chose not to yield to the will of his appetite to please God. Every able young man like Joseph will easily yield to the advances of Portiphar's wife but he didn't just to be on the Lord's side.

Right from creation the greatest battle of man is the battle of his appetite. The sin of Adam is that of his appetite.The battle you will not but confront in every quest to please God and fulfill your mandate in life is that of appetite. You must be mindful of the fact that some of your prayers that were not answered might be a way of God to help your appetite. You have to seek the help of God to deal with your appetite before it destroys you.
