Christianity EtcGod Will Surprise You by jonatoye(op): 8:02am On Apr 19, 2020
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ 
________________________________
               [19-04-2020]

Focus: God will Surprise You

WORD FOR TODAY
Every situation in a man's life will not but always provide a platform for miracles. From generation to generation, God will continue to work and walk mysteriously.
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD." (Isaiah 55:8 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The situation of your life is like the way it is because the Lord wants to use it to surprise you. The way the Lord will handle your case will always be different from the way you are thinking He will. No matter how terrible the situation of your life is, the fact still remains that the thought of the Lord concerning you is of peace.

Joseph couldn't believe it when he was made the prime minister of Egypt right from the prison. Jacob couldn't believe it when he was told Joseph is still alive and when they presented to him the sons of Joseph (Gen 48:8-11). Ruth never thought she could get someone to marry her among the people of God who were barred from doing so but God in His mighty way made it happen just because of her choice to follow and serve Him (Ruth 1:16-17, 3:1, 4:1-End).

The man at the pool of Bethesda in John 5 was waiting for the stirring of water by the angel but Jesus came and healed him after 38 years. Even if you don't know how God will intervene in the issues in your life; it will come as a surprise because God will do it in His own way. Do not fret yourself about anything trust God for miracles.

Christianity EtcAll You Need Is Grace by jonatoye(op): 3:33pm On Apr 17, 2020
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ 
________________________________
               [17-04-2020]

Focus: All you Need is Grace

WORD FOR TODAY
Eating the bread of sorrow becomes inevitable when grace is not made available. Whatever effort put in place in every issue of life is in vain until God makes grace available; Grace is all you need!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"It is vain for you to rise up early, To sit up late, To eat the bread of sorrows; For so He gives His beloved sleep." (Psalm 127:2 ESV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is no crime in rising early in a bid to achieve something for your life. However, there is no wisdom in rising early without acknowledging God who gives rest in all situations of life.

Many people try as much as possible to do all they can to avoid miserable situation of life. Some surrender their lives to God, engage in spiritual activities, pray for a glorious future, kept themselves from doing evil and diligently carried out every assignment that concerns them but at the end of all, the only thing they have to showcase is bread of sorrow.

Some are workaholic, they work round the clock and have no time for God. Some worked so hard to get a good award and position from various life activities and gather several possessions of life but yet ended up eating the bread of sorrow. The fact that these men rose early in all the above instances doesn't automatically give them the sleep they desire and deserve.

In all situation of life you must never forget that it is God who gives rest. Grace is all you need in all your endeavours. Even if you are a child of God, the fact still remains that except the Lord builds whatever you are building is in vain.

~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ 
________________________________

Focus: Times and Seasons for everything

WORD FOR TODAY
Times in life are not equal. The good and the bad times of life is what defines our lives as humans!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance;" (Ecclesiastes 3:1,4 ESV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Where we are today is not where we used to be and the fact that we are here today doesn't mean we have reached our final destination. Time is the unit of the human life. There is a purpose for every time you find yourself in the land of the living.

When times are good for you don't forget that it is not so with everyone and that times in life will not be always good. As we have good days so we have evil days. When times are bad remember the good days of the past and hope for better days ahead.

Whatever time you find yourself at this moment be mindful that times and seasons are in the hand of God. Acknowledge Him in all you do and He will make things beautiful in its time for you.

Question For Meditation:

               [15-04-2020]

Focus: A Life of Sacrifice

WORD FOR TODAY
You have not known the essence of being a christian until you understand and live with the orientation that you are called to live a life of sacrifice. The call to salvation is a call to a life of sacrifice!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live to please themselves. Instead, they will live to please Christ, who died and was raised for them." (2Corinthians 5:15 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whatever you give cannot still remain with you. If you have given your life to Christ; the implication is that, it is no longer your own. It now belongs to Christ whom you handed it to. Hence, your life is no longer your life but the life of Christ. You cannot live for yourself again, if you must live it must be the life Christ wants you to live.

Anytime you live a life different from the life of Christ, the implication is that you have taken it back; it is now your life. Hence, sin and every works of the flesh will rule over your life. Apostle Paul admonished the Romans by the mercies of God to present themselves as a living sacrifice (Rom.12.1).

If by God's grace you have been saved, you are expected not to live for yourself again but for Christ. It is in doing this that Christ will work in you to do His good pleasure. A day is coming when your time will finish and your days on earth will be accomplished; on that day everything you did for yourself in favour of the sinful nature will perish and you will be at the mercy of what the Lord did through your life!!!

Christianity EtcGod's Silent Chapters by jonatoye(op): 8:25am On Apr 13, 2020
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ 
________________________________
               [13-04-2020]

Focus: God's Silent Chapters

WORD FOR TODAY
In life, we cannot but come to a chapter on the pathway of destiny where God actively becomes silent just to fulfill a course. When it is mandatory for a man to have an experience (good/bad) in a bid to fulfill His purpose; God will not be resistant to it!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" (Matthew 27:46 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Lord most of the times take us through an unfamiliar path of greatness where various experiences of life shape us into His intended purpose. Most times, the situation around our lives look as if God has forsaken us. Like our Lord Jesus Christ, you will not but have some experiences peculiar to the fulfillment of your purpose in destiny.

Silent chapters of life will not but come; it is not a strange experience for those who really want to fulfill their purpose on earth. The Lord was silent when Joseph was thrown into the dry well, sold into slavery and locked up in the prison. He was silent when the 3 Hebrews were thrown into the fiery furnace and when Daniel was thrown into the Lion's den. Even Jesus was not exempted; so also you will not.

The glory of the Lord was manifested in the lives of these men when their three days was accomplished based on the peculiarities of their individual experiences.If you have a feeling that God has forsaken you because He allowed you to have some challenging issues be mindful of the fact that when your third day is accomplished; there will be ressurection. The silence of the Lord at these times is for proper evaluation of your growth, faithfulness and loyalty.

Question For Meditation:

Christianity EtcHe Is Not Here by jonatoye(op): 6:17am On Apr 12, 2020
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ 
________________________________
               [12-04-2020]

Focus: He is Not Here

WORD FOR TODAY
You have not experienced the power of God until you have been translated from where you used to be to where God wants you to be. You cannot follow the Lord and still remain the same; a real encounter with the Lord transforms a man from nothingness to greater realm of glory!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"But he said to them, "Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him." (Mark 16:6 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The essence of the ressurection of Christ Jesus from death is to ensure our ressurection from everything that tends to put us to death in various aspects of life. There is no doubt to the fact that you have a terrible past. When the power of resurrection becomes effective in your life there will be significant transformation from what you used to be to what God wants you to be.

By the virtue of the power of resurrection, they sought to anoint the body of Jesus, but He was no longer there. When Bartimaeus the blind had an encounter with Jesus; his sight was restored and stopped being a beggar. From that very day, whoever sought to find where he used to be will not find him there. He was no longer there.

An encounter with the Lord will not only change you from being a sinner or a man ruled by the works of the flesh; it will also translate you from where you used to be (academically, maritally, financially, spiritually etc.) into the realm of greater glory by the power of resurrection!!!
________________________________

Focus: Who will roll the Stone

WORD FOR TODAY
Whenever various situation of life presents to you questions you cannot answer; you are required to look up to God for desired solution. Several problems in life will remain unsolved until we look up to God for divine intervention!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And they said among themselves, "Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us? But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away--for it was very large."(Mark 16:3-4 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The major issues in the mind of the women going to anoint the body of Jesus who was crucified was who will roll the stone. Even when they could not provide an answer they proceeded and looked up and discovered a miracle has happened by the power of resurrection!

Life will not but give us several reasons to worry. There are several stones to be rolled away. The world is still battling with the issue of COVID 19 and has become a serious challenge for all inhabitants of the earth. This does not limit the issues peculiar to our nation, locality and our individual lives.

The fact that there are several large stones that God had rolled away from our ways in the past by the power of resurrection is an assurance that various issues like stones will be rolled away. We must not give up looking up to God for divine intervention in every issue of life.

Christianity EtcThe Blessedness Of Self-denial by jonatoye(op): 9:30am On Apr 10, 2020
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ 
________________________________
               [10-04-2020]

Focus: The blessedness of Self-denial

WORD FOR TODAY
Self-denial is an important prerequisite for a man who desires to be what God wants him to be. The ability to say no to some things which appear to be beneficial to you is critical to how far you will go and what you will become in life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me."
(Luke 9:23 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man who has not received the help of God to deny himself in various aspects of life is like a car without a brake. Understanding self-denial begins with knowing that there are some things you cannot take, do, eat or venture into and there are some people you cannot relate with. It is also knowing that not everything they call opportunity is good for you.

The life of the man of God from Judah, Gehazi and King Saul made it clear that to us that there is a time to eat, take gift and obey promptly to God's instructions respectively. The blessedness of self-denial can be seen in the lives of Joseph, Daniel and David; they all came into the center of God's plan and purpose for them. The major ordeal in the life of David occurred when he could not deny himself.

God cannot rely on the life of a man who lack self-denial. Until you submit yourself to be helped by God Himself to exhibit self-denial, His plans for your life will remain a mirage. A single temptation in the life of a man who lacks self-denial will be enough to destroy the investment of God in His life over the years. Self denial is the key to having long life and preserving your walk with God, His plans and purpose for your life.
________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ Have you been helped to exhibit self-denial?

Prayer Point:
Lord! Help to always deny myself, always work in me to do your good pleasure in every facet of life in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Main Emphasis:

Christianity EtcGod Resists The Proud by jonatoye(op): 10:24am On Apr 09, 2020
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ 
________________________________
               [09-04-2020]

Focus: God Resists the Proud

WORD FOR TODAY
Exhibiting pride at any level of life is an invitation to resistance from God. Pride is an evil trait of the devil in the life of a man that puts a man out of God's grace, mercy and favour!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." (James 4:6b NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We know a man who possesses an evil spirit that will destroy him through pride. One of the ways to know and identify a man who is going down the drain is pride. God himself will become your ultimate resistance each time you think of yourself more highly than you ought to.

Pride begins when a man fails to acknowledge God in his ways. Proud people always think they are who they are by their efforts and intellect. They believe that men fail simply because they are not serious or because their effort is not enough. They are people who don't believe that there is a measure of God in the life of every man created by God and treat people with respect to their class, position, title, tribe, condition and age.

They don't acknowledge their wrong doings and weaknesses; they are always too big to admit the fact that they need help in various aspect of life. They are strong willed people who do not forgive those who offend them. God said to the proud, He will be a resistance. He will never walk with them but against them!!!
________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ In what way are you exhibiting pride?

Prayer Point:
Lord! Help me to be humble always, I will never be proud in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Where there is pride there is destruction because God himself will supervise the fall of the proud!!!

Focus: Grace to the Humble

WORD FOR TODAY
Grace will only be released to a man who acknowledges his incapacitation and absolutely puts his trust in God. Humility is a virtue that brings God to your aid!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." (James 4:6b NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We know a man who possesses the spirit of God through humility. A man is humble whenever he acknowledges the fact that he is what he is by the grace of God and there is nothing he can ever be without the help of God. Also, he lives with the orientation that there is no height he attains in life that he does not need God; to such, there is no life without God.

They are people who believe that there is a measure of God in the life of every man created by God irrespective of class, position, title, tribe, condition and age. They attribute the difference among men to the measure of grace made available to every individual in every facet of life. They acknowledge their wrong doings and weaknesses; they are never to big to admit the fact that they need help in various aspect of life.

They are men who are never too familiar with the word of God but tremble at God's word to act accordingly. God said to the humble, He will make grace available. He will walk with them, help and carry them through the journey of destiny. If you want God to help you, then you must be humble!!!

________________________________
               [07-04-2020]

Focus: God is willing

WORD FOR TODAY
The fact that your life is a work in progress in the hand of God will always make Him to be willing to work in your life to do His good pleasure. The only major part required of us to play in every issue of life is for us to come to Him!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
""Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, "If You are willing, You can make me clean." Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."" (Mark 1:40-41 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Lord is very much interested in our physical well being and He is willing to do His good pleasure in our lives if we will always come to Him to present our petitions.

He is a loving father; we cannot ask for bread and receive stone from Him; if a man will not do that, He won't do that either.

One of the most important strategy of the evil one is to hinder men from coming to God and presenting close alternatives to men. If there be anything hindering you from coming to God; such is hindering you from the original blessing of God and the required divine intervention you need for your life.

What do you need for your life and destiny? The Lord is making it known to you that He is ever willing to do it. All you need is to cooperate with Him and allow Him to do it in His own way at His own time. No matter how wonderful your desires in life may appear to be, don't settle for the alternative the devil is offering to you; God is always willing to do it for you if you will come and submit to His principles.

Focus: Appreciate The Giver of Life

WORD FOR TODAY
Irrespective of your experience, life will always give you an opportunity in all situation to turn to God your Creator. Therefore, the best option among several options in all situation of life is to please and appreciate God the giver of life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And he said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD." (Job 1:21 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the Lord said to satan "Have you considered my servant Job? There is none like Him" He was trying to reveal the outstanding nature of one of His own creation whom He has tried and proved over the time.

The Lord allowed Job to have the experience He had just to present to us a model of a man like us who passed through terrible challenges of life and at the same time maintained his integrity and consecration before God. He had opportunity to be offended, abuse God but He rather praised the unquestionable God who remains the Lord of all.

Whatever the case may be with you know from the first principle that the life you have is a privilege. When evil times come and it seems as if situation of life does not favour you, know at that very point in time that a test of your loyalty to God has come.

Put the devil to shame by remaining loyal to God. Maintain your consecration before Him and praise Him for all your experiences because they will eventually workout for your good.

Focus: The Resource Called Time

WORD FOR TODAY
Time is an inelastic resource given to a man to finish an allotted task. There is no everlasting man, every man is given a season or a tenure to fulfill his purpose on earth!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light."(John 5:35 KJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The account of John the baptist given in the passage above revealed that he came to shine for just a while and that men will enjoy and endure him for a season. This is a typical example of what a man's life will be in the land of the living.

Whatever opportunity, platform, placement, position, achievement, power you have at any point in time is for a season and does not last forever. Don't allow the power and the achievement you have make you think you still have plenty of time. Be mindful of the fact that life is a temporary assignment.

You are on a space of time and you don't have all the time. God who owns the time will come some day to announce that your time is up in every facet of life. Hence, time is a resource that finishes suddenly. It is a space between one second and the next. Every man's life terminates between two seconds. Examine yourself and put your life in order according to God's will for you, because the night is coming when such opportunity will not be available!

WORD FOR TODAY
Every challenge in life comes with a unique training. Every situation in your life is primarily meant to strengthen you and prepare you for your future!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. (Psalms 18:34 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
David gave an account of what God did in his life at a point in destiny. His submission is that "My arms can bend a bow of bronze". He did not just suddenly come to that point but his words was a summary of accumulated challenging experiences. He could defeat Goliath because he defeated bear and lion in the wilderness while keeping his father's sheep.

The challenging situation in your life presently is a school of character development required by the glorious future ahead of you. There are some blessings that will not come into your life until you are matured enough and have the required character to bear it.

In this season, God will use the present situation to teach men how they can use two fishes and five loaves of bread to feed several men. Also, how they can live several days without working yet never lack anything. God is teaching the entire population of the world how to subdue a virus called COVID 19.

There is a point where several people will get to their breaking point and give up but your training will make you stand strong. This is not a time to complain about anything but a time to submit to God to learn by experience what He wants to achieve with every situation of our lives.

WORD FOR TODAY
The primary assignment of every man who desires divine intervention is preparing the way of the Lord. For God to walk and work in our lives to do His good pleasure; we must respond to Him and lay aside anything that will hinder His work in our lives!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare the way of the LORD; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God." (Isaiah 40:3 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God, right from the ages past had wanted to work out His good pleasure in the lives of men. However, He will never force Himself on men. When Lord saw the need to comfort His people and put an end to their warfare in captivity the word He sent to them was "Prepare the way of the LORD". The implication of this is that even if God will put an end to their oppression they had a sole responsibility of preparing the way of the Lord.

The Lord is not ignorant of both the general and individual ordeal we are facing at this point in time. The voice you must never ignore even as you take physical precautions, pray, fast and engage in every spiritual activity is "Prepare the way of the LORD". Allow various situation around you to open your eyes to what God requires of you. It is time to repent, draw close to God, get it right with Him to walk and work in His ways!

It is evident that the entire world is now on holiday. Most things and activities of men are put on hold at this point in time. This time should remind everyone of us that the night is drawing nearer when men will not be able to work. See it as a rehearsal of that time when all the works of men shall end and every man will return back to God. Hence, it is time to draw near to God and seek His face for intervention.

Focus: Entreat the LORD

WORD FOR TODAY
When fighting an invisible battle the best thing to do is to entreat the Lord. If you know God and the power of His might; you have the responsibility to plead for mercy concerning the happenings on the earth!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, "Entreat the LORD that He may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD." (Exodus 8:8 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the Land of Egypt was plagued; it came to a point where Pharaoh discovered that there was nothing else he could do than to beg Moses and Aaron to entreat the Lord on his behalf. Each time we come to a point where all efforts prove abortive, the only available thing to do is to entreat the Lord.

A virus (COVID 19) an infective agent that is too small to be seen by light microscope, has put the entire world on hold and compulsory holiday. Am just wondering if the virus was physically visible to the human eye it would have become a forgotten issue by now. In the actual sense, COVID 19 is a plague on earth. It requires the intervention of the Lord to bring an end to it.

As you step aside from your daily activities on the account of the plague on earth try as much as possible to plead the case of the earth to God. It is time to declare peace, deliverance and healing to the earth!!!

WORD FOR TODAY
Every infirmity in your life, family and nation awaits the word of God. Each time the word of God comes to you, it comes with a healing capability!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses. He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.(Psalm 107:19-20 NKJV)

When the Lord is set to heal a land, what He does is that he sends His word. It comes as either an instruction or an affirmative statement that brings intervention. Hence, there will not be healing until the Lord speaks over a matter.
Every miracle you need begins with hearing His word for you at a point in time.

Our responsibility in a time like this is to call upon the Lord over the trouble on the earth and He will save us out of our distresses. Let's submit ourselves to believing the word of God associated with a time like this and live our lives based on the instructions He is passing across to us.

************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers."

The ultimate desire of God for your life is to be healthy. Take every precautionary measure required of you to stay healthy in a time like this. It is when you are healthy that you can be used by God to achieve great things and pursue your dreams.

Be mindful of the fact that God can never be short of human resources. This same also applies to secular world; preserve your relevance by obeying rules associated to living healthy physically and spiritually.

Focus: It will not come Near You

WORD FOR TODAY
God has a word for all times and seasons. The word of the Lord for you in a time like this is that "the terror, pestilence and destruction that lay waste several thousands will not come near you even as you take necessary precautions as required by a time like this".
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you." (Psalm.91:7 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The God we serve is the Almighty who rules in the affairs of men. He is not ignorant of the happenings of this time nor that of the future. Our peace and refuge lies only in His Hand. When the Land of Egypt was plague the Lord promised His people that it will not come near them and it happened exactly the way He promised them.

However, in the course of time, while the land of Egypt was plagued, the Lord gave them instructions to follow so as to serve as precaution for them. They obeyed and the people of God were saved. As you take precautions, you must as well believe what the Lord has said: "No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling" (Ps 91:10).

Abide under the shadow of the Almighty by believing what God has said concerning His people irrespective of the prevailing situation even as you take precautions. Be mindful of the fact that what you think of yourself has influence on your experience. As the days go by, be confident of the fact that evil will not come near you.

Focus: The Simplicity of Christ Jesus

WORD FOR TODAY
The Hallmark of a man who has the spirit of Christ in him is simplicity.
To be simple means to be full of a life devoid of laws, protocols and principles but Grace, mercy and love!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
(Matthew19:14 NJKV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The way Jesus lived is the way we are expected to live. He was meek and so simple that children also have access to him. He related with sinners, the sick, poor, rich and those with demons. He is a perfect High priest who can be touched with our weaknesses and His death gave us the access to come boldly to the throne of grace, where to obtain mercy and grace in time of need (Heb.4.15-16).

There are several men who prayed to God to have a safe passage above all protocol in a bid to achieve something yet they are too strict and principled in their dealings with men. They were neither merciful nor loving. We must be mindful of the fact that the kingdom of God will only be established in the life of a man when his life is full of Grace.

Excellence in every facet of life begins with treating those who appeared to be less privileged than you. When you based your reaction with respect to the class of people you deal with, you are not an excellent person. Be a man full of God's grace and love not laws. There is no other way to have impact in the lives of men order than being full of God's grace, mercy and love.

There is no need to be sad or live in anxiety today because of the fear associated with uncertainty of tomorrow. Live to enjoy your everyday life by believing that all will be well!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today. (Matthew 6:34 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The fact that there are challenges today established the fact that there will be challenges tomorrow.
Just like it was established that life is in phases so also the challenges of life. Hence, don't die today because of the tommorow you don't know nor the future that you don't know what it holds.

Keep hope alive and live in anticipation of a better tommorow. All men who lived and enjoy their pilgrimage on earth were not men who don't have challenges but those who chose to be happy by finding joy in the Lord while hoping for the best despite the challenges in their lives. Irrespective of the issues in your life you must never give up believing that "all will be well".

WORD FOR TODAY
You have no right to blame anyone for your failures in life, since the race is exclusive. Every man will not but come to a critical junction where he will be required to decide the definition of his destiny!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us," (Hebrews 12:1 NIV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gehazi came to a junction where he decided to do contrary to the will of God. It was written about him that he became leprous; he made that decision. Abraham also came to a point where he decided to sleep with Hager to begat Ishmael; the entire world today has not recovered from the effect of that single decision.

Joseph the son of Jacob came to a turning point where he decided to do the will of God; this singular action established his dreams. Also, Moses at a point identified himself with the people of God; his decision gave him a place in the purpose of God.

The opportunity to define your life and future in destiny will be made available for you. The major decision you must always make include laying aside every weight hindering your progress, putting away and repenting from your besetting sins; having strong will and zeal to run the race in the direction of God's will for your life.

WORD FOR TODAY
You must always try to forget what has happened to you in the past and live in the reality of the promises of God for your life. Focus on what the Lord is set to do in your life than your past misfortune, failure and disappointments!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert." (Isaiah 43:18-19 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At every point in time in the journey of destiny, be mindful of the fact that God has promised to do a new thing. You must go on in life believing that God will work out great things in your life. The fact that you have failed several times trying to please God by doing what is right in various aspect of life does not mean you can't, from where you are and in the state of incapacitation find grace in God to move onto victory.

Is there a mountain you are trying to surmount and your experiences appear as if you can never overcome. You must never give up trying; what you need is the grace to keep trying. Do not stop at the point where the situation set a limit to your life; find strength in God and move on to victory.

The new things God is set to do in your life will only manifest, if and only if you live believing in His promises for your life. Move away from excuses, complains and sad news of your failures and disappointments and move onto victory. Living in your past will only hold you down but believing God's promises keep you moving into a glorious future!

Irrespective of what your experience is or might have been, you must always look forward for victory as a Victor in Christ Jesus. Always expect good fortune, don't stay inbetween fear of defeat and victory; always move on to victory!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Hebrew 12:2 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Due to the nature of the experiences some people have had in the past and what they have heard happening to people, they tend to prepare for fear, failure, disappointment, misfortune and defeat.

What do you think of a man who thinks he had COVID 19 just because he had some of its symptoms? Do you know if care is not taken such a man can die from the trauma of having COVID 19! I have come to know that fear kills much more than death itself. You will not enjoy the beautiful life the Lord wants you to have until you move into victory. A man who lives his entire life as a victim can never be victorious in any aspect of life

When Jesus was crucified, He did not lose focus on the joy set before Him. You must not be ignorant of what the Lord wants for your life at every point in time. Each time you experience set back in terms sickness, failure, disappointments, defeat etc; don't allow the situation to slow you down or prompt you to give up; move on to victory according to the word of God for your life.

Christianity EtcRe: When Grace Is Made Available by jonatoye(op): 3:20pm On Mar 22, 2020
I am just wondering why you guys relate this post to COVID 19. Whatever the case is, the fact still remains that God is supreme and He rules in the affairs of men. What is happening is not strange to those who truly know God.

When God makes grace available for protection you will dwell under the shadow of the Almighty; and COVID 19 will not come near you. There is no way we Nigerians can be as careful as those in China, Italy and other nations plague with COVID 19.

THOSE WHO LIVE BY COMMON SENSE ALONE CANNOT EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF GOD.

THAT IS WHY EVERYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH GOD REMAINS AND APPEARS AS FOOLISHNESS TO THEM!

HAPPY SUNDAY

CAPSLOCKED:
Not for me.
My concern is with billions around the world who have been asking for centuries, yet, nothing.

Besides, why do I even need to ask anything of God when he already planned my life, my past and future? isn't it disrespectful to bug him in his infinite wisdom with my silly mortal requests, when he already knows what's best for the world?
COVID 19, exist today because of people like you who failed to acknowledge God in their ways. They rejected the grace that brought salvation meant to bring freedom to all mankind. The fact that the whole thing started in China; a country who thinks that they don't need God due to their well being and economic development should pass a strong message to you that God is supreme and that he rules in the affairs of men.

It is possible that you did not even read the post

The summary is that: God has given every man an ability to do something, hence, if you have the grace to do something don't hesitate to do it.

And ask for grace to do those things you cannot do!

Have a blessed Sunday!

Focus: When Grace is made Available

WORD FOR TODAY
When the Lord wants a man to do something He makes grace available and when something appears difficult for a man what he needs is grace. When grace is made available don't misuse or fail to use it and always ask for grace for what you should do that you cannot do!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift." (Ephesian 4:7 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whatever you can do in any facet of life is by the virtue of the grace made available for you because not everyone have what you have and can do what you can do at a point in time. One of those ways to know if God wants you to do something according to His will for you is that you will have ability to do it.

You will not be guiltless over what you have the grace to do and you fail to do. The word of God coming to you on daily basis is a measure of grace. This grace is expected to help you to do the will of God at every point in time. When God gives you ability to make money and have riches, grace is made available for you to help people who needs money.

Your sound health, intellect, wisdom, knowledge and other wonderful virtue deposited by God in your life gives you the grace to fulfill a cause. If there be anything you cannot do which is expected of you to do, you must not hesitate to ask for grace to do it.

WORD FOR TODAY
Your testimony is not complete if God cannot take responsibility over it. Every untold story of unrighteousness associated to your success in various aspects of life put a question mark on your fulfillment and the plans of God for your life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, And nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him." (Ecclesiastes 3:14 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man can build something but the real builder is God. The greatest evil that can happen to a man is for God to dissociate Himself from the affairs of his life. The word of the Lord makes it clear to us that: "Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it" (Ps.127.1a). Whatever you achieved dishonoring the words of God will not last.

Do not attribute unrighteous gains or achievement to the Lord; He will not take it. Whatever method presented to you to achieve something in various aspect of life that you cannot confidently give an account of it under God; do away with it. Do not sacrifice the precious plan of God.

There is no doubt in the fact that there is an evidence of some physical blessings in your life. However, you must be very sure of the fact that you do not bow to the devil before the achievements. Bowing to the devil can be giving yourself for sex, bribing your way, stealing and embezzling, using diabolical material and joining secret cult etc. If your joy will not be cut off, you must trust your life to God and wait properly on Him to work out His good pleasure in your life.

The Nation which fails to honour and acknowledge God will not but see hell. The greatest evil that can befall a man is for him to think that he neither needs to worship God nor honour Him!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God." (Psalm 9:17 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Destruction is looming in the life of a man who thinks he does not need God in the affairs of his life. There are several men who were been eaten up with the success they had to the point that they neglected anything that had to do with God or honour Him with their lives.

Over the years, God has proven to be the Almighty. Pharaoh said, "Who is the LORD, that I should obey him and let Israel go? I do not know the LORD and I will not let Israel go."(Exo 5:2). The Lord revealed and proved Himself to Pharaoh. All nation who had in one time or the other failed to acknowledge God experienced plague, deadly diseases and oppression of the enemies.

The happenings in the entire world at the moment is a call to acknowledge God as the Almighty. Acknowledge and honour God in everything you do. And the LORD will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you (Deut 7:15).

WORD FOR TODAY
Excellence begins with how you treat people - Sam Adeyemi
************************************
Scriptural Reference
" Do nothing from factional motives [through contentiousness, strife, selfishness, or for unworthy ends] or prompted by conceit and empty arrogance. Instead, in the true spirit of humility (lowliness of mind) let each regard the others as better than and superior to himself [thinking more highly of one another than you do of yourselves]. (Philippians 2:3 AMP)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The beauty of a nation does not depend on the magnitude of the resources she has but the value it places on its people. A nation that places less value on its people and does not invest on them will not only be miserable but also be cursed.

You define your future and your impact in the land of the living by the manner you treat the people around you irrespective of who they are to you. Your performance in everything you do is engraved in the hearts of men and not even in their actions towards you.

What is the usefulness of a life that does not have any positive impact in the lives of men? You were created for service to humanity. In everything you do; hold on to a very high esteem in the interest of men whom you are serving. This is the pathway of excellence as seen in the life of Christ Jesus who died for our sins.

WORD FOR TODAY
Every true wise man grows and takes much pleasure in progressive increase in every facet of life. A man who will not become ruined must build strong resistance against reduction and loss!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"What man of you, if he has a hundred sheep and should lose one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness (desert) and go after the one that is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his [own] shoulders, rejoicing." (Luke 15:4-5 AMP).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man who loses Eighty (80) marks begins with the first mark. The plan of God over all mankind is that we should multiply and increase. He is never in support of reduction or decrease at any level of life. Therefore, the Lord wants every man to be reactive against every loss. The principle behind increase is gaining more and avoiding losses.

As it is commonly said; "A drop of water can make a mighty ocean". Also, a minute failure, disappointment, sin, loss in business, reduction in spiritual effectiveness, can lead to a mighty corresponding detrimental experience respectively.

Irrespective of the situation of your life don't ever neglect or look away from any form of loss or reduction in any aspect of your life but rather take the responsibility as it is within your capacity to ensure restoration. Don't ever accept defeat, failure or console yourself of a reasonable amount of remnants. Be offensive to everything that aims to bring you down.
