~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [08-01-2020] Focus: The Battle you can't Win WORD FOR TODAY Every true wise man allows God to fight on his behalf. The most interesting part of life is that man cannot win all battle of life!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay", says the Lord. On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; . . , "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." (Romans 12:19-21 NIV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The only battle you can win without suffering much injury is the battle of love. Life is generally characterised by several battles. However, you must be very careful of the battle you fight; this is because not all battles are peculiar to your destiny. A man is evil each time he plans, thinks and does evil to a fellow human being for whatever reason. We are bound to reap whatever we sow. Therefore, try as much as possible to do good to all men irrespective of their actions towards you or your people in the past. In this present age, there are people who were in fierce battle on the account of the offence of some people they neither know nor have even seen. But reacting to venom passed unto them by evil men to disturb the future peace. If you are fighting such battle you are fighting a battle greater than your age. David passed on similar venom unto his son Solomon. He nursed the evil done to him in his heart even at the point of death and sought vengeance (1King 2:5-9). Don't destroy your future, peace, blessing, friends and strength on the altar of bitterness as a result of the battle that is alien to your destiny. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + What is the nature of your heart? Prayer Point: Lord! Give me a heart of love in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Evil will never depart from the lives of men who do evil!!! Have an Awesome Wednesday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [07-01-2020] Focus: Make Happiness Your Lifestyle WORD FOR TODAY Many things in life will not but always make you sad; however, you must always find joy in the Lord to be happy always!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "He says to himself, "Nothing will shake me; I'll always be happy and never have trouble." (Psalms 10:6 NIV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Life is all about ups and downs, light and darkness, joy and sadness. In every situation, be mindful of the fact that life is what happens while you are planning other things. Be happy in the Lord in every situation even when the devil gives you an obvious reason to be sad. You will see people going ahead of you in various aspect of life, to be happy you must keep moving with Joy if you must get to your destination as planned by God for you. Also, try and make people around you to be happy. Make effort to make your husband, wife, parent and children, students, church, clients, customers, boss, subjects happy; that's a way to surround your life with happiness. I observed something during the new year, while some countries were jubilating at the reception of the new year some were still waiting for time; some for 6, 5, 4 hours and so on. That's the nature of the earth we are. Irrespective of how terrible your situation may appear to be, the fact still remains that there is a light after every tunnel. Be happy always; let the joy of the Lord be your strength. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Who and what is the source of your joy? Prayer Point: Lord! Nothing will shake me; I'll always be happy and never have trouble in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Find God in every situation and remain happy!!! Have a Joyful Year 2020!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [06-01-2020] Focus: Add More Effort WORD FOR TODAY Additional effort with the help of God to the effort put in place in every quest to achieve something in every facet of life can make significant difference. There will always be a reason for failure but little effort with God's wisdom brings outstanding success!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "If the ax is dull, And one does not sharpen the edge, Then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success." (Ecclesiastes 10:10 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The word of God makes it clear to us that even if your situation in business, marriage, career, academics, ministry or spiritual life appears like a dull ax with unsharpened edge; God can give you good success if you can add more effort. The first part of Eccl 10:10 identifies typical limitations to success in various aspect of life, the second part signifies what men should do (add more effort) irrespective of the limitations they face in every bid to succeed while the third part speaks of the place of God (wisdom) in becoming successful; it is God that brings success (Ps 127:1-2). Limitations and resistance is what we must always overcome to achieve success in life. All men who experienced breakthrough did something special and unusual to overcome their limitations for improved success. Seek God for wisdom and what you should do more for improvement and unusual success in every facet of life. Shift your attention away from those hurdles that become excuses for failure and do something special for improved success. ___________________________________ Question For Meditation: + What will you do more for improved success? Prayer Point Lord! I receive divine wisdom and strength to put more effort for improved success in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis There is something you can do more with God helping you for improved success! Have a Successful Year 2020!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [05-01-2020] Focus: The Blessing of the Fathers WORD FOR TODAY The blessing of God, the Father of all fathers, comes naturally upon you each time you honour your father and your mother. If you must enjoy long life in prosperity, you must desire the blessing of the father!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Honour your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise: "that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth." (Ephesians 6:2-3 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You must not proceed or engage in any new phase of life (Marriage, academics, business, ministry, carreer etc) without receiving the blessing of the father. Father in this context represents your biological, career, academic, spiritual fathers or any one who act in the capacity of a father to you. The fact is that, your life is a product of the sacrifices of men; whom you will forever be indebted to. You must always provoke their blessings. You must never stand in the place of God to judge your fathers even when it appears as if they are not responsible or based on the fact that they neglected you. Your responsibility is to honour them irrespective of their short comings. A man who decline to honour his parents will not enjoy the blessing attached to doing so and will not be entitled to enjoy such when he/she becomes a parent. Esau valued this blessing and sought it with tears. The blessing of Jacob over his sons shaped their destinies (Gen 49). Don't be beclouded by whatever blessing you think you may be enjoying at the moment, desire the blessing of your father. The fact that God gave you as a gift to your parent makes their blessing critical to your life and needed to connect you to heavenly blessings! ___________________________________ Question For Meditation: + When was the last time you provoke the blessings of your fathers? Prayer Point Lord! I receive the grace to honour my fathers in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis You must always provoke the blessing of the father if you must live long with heavenly blessings in every facet of life! Have a Blessed Year 2020!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [04-01-2020] Focus: The Perils of Indiscipline WORD FOR TODAY When the Lord is set to give a man relief from troubled times and victory over his enemies; he takes him through various disciplinary process. All men who failed in destiny failed at the point where they exihibit indiscipline!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Happy are those whom you discipline, LORD, and those whom you teach from your law. You give them relief from troubled times until a pit is dug for the wicked. (Psalm 94:12-13 NLT) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Indiscipline is an attribute that keeps a man away from the plan and presence of God. The evil one is rest assured over the lives of men who exhibit indiscipline. If we can look critically at every troubles of life cause by the attitude of men you will discover that they all have root in indiscipline. Achan was not the only one who saw the accused things but he was the one that took it. Samson was not the only who saw beautiful women of the Philistine but he rooted for them. Gehazi like Elisha saw the gift Naaman brought but he went for it. The wife of Portipher was very attractive to Joseph; yet he will not sleep with her on the platter of gold because it is a sin against God. The Kings meal was special and desirable to eyes but Daniel and His 3 friends will not defile themselve. The issues with indiscipline is that; it affect the destiny of a man and places indelible negative mark to his life. In the presence of indiscipline your marriage, career, ministry, academics and other aspect of life is tending towards failure. Every investment over a man who is not discipline is a waste. Be humble enough to submit yourself to various process and principle God is exposing your life to either physically or spiritually! ___________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Are you Discipline? Prayer Point Lord! Deliver me from every act of indiscipline in every facet of life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis Wherever there is indiscipline there failure!!! Have a Progressive Year 2020!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [02-01-2020] Focus: The Safe Hands WORD FOR TODAY As you journey into the year be mindful of the fact that you are only safe in the hands of God. It is good to be at the mercy of God alone than the best of men who are prone to becoming wicked!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "And David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Please let us fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man." (2 Samuel 24:14 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ King David towards the end of his life came to a critical junction where he must decide between three options. By the virtue of his experience and his walk with God in life, he decided to be at the mercy of God. You also will not but come at various junction of choice in every facet of life; if you must be on the safe hands you must decide to be on the Lord's side. The evil one is very aware of this very fact and will also make provision at every junction of choice. When this time comes be mindful of the fact that you are only safe at the bossom of the Lord. Be careful to live according to the will of God and live to please Him in whatever you do. The fact that men will be available to provide help at various junction of life does not change the fact that safe hands are found in the Lord. Do not forget that woe is the man who puts his trust in men, position of authority, riches and material possessions of life. Be at the mercy of God in every facet of life! ___________________________________ Question For Meditation: + What would have happened if men were God? Prayer Point Lord! Keep me safe in the journey of destiny, help me to always find refuge in your hands in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis You are not in the safe hands until you find God in every issue of life!!! Have a Splendid Year 2020!!! |

God continually makes us new and every moment of every day, week and year brings a fresh beginning!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Through the LORD's mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. (Lamentation 3:22-23 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We are alive today because the Lord chooses not to withhold His mercy and compassion over us. He did this to give us yet another opportunity to become better in every facet of life. There is something new the Lord wants to do in your life this season. I want to put it to you that if God were to consider your deeds and your attitude to His will, you may not likely make it to this day because the devil your accuser would have sealed an evil verdict over your life. At this very point in time, if you must think, you must start thinking in the new direction of God's expectation for your life. The signs of the time demands that you repent from your evil ways and turn to God in absolute repentance. It demands that you humble yourself to work and walk to please God. It demands that you forget your past hardship, challenges, adversity, sickness, dissapointment, lack and hopelessness because the Lord will do a new thing (Isa 43:18-19). Cooperate with God as you go into the year and you will have a new experience. ___________________________________ Question For Meditation: + What are your expectations? Prayer Point Lord! I bless your name for yet another opportunity given to me to see the new year in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis The Life of every man still living is open to new opportunities!!!

(Psalm124:2-3 NLT) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are reading this; the Lord has been gracious to you. It is a pity that there are many who have wonderful prospect and aspiration who are no more today. We are alive today not because we have strength, wisdom or we are careful enough to pass through evils associated with each day but the Lord in His mercy choses to stand by us and keep us safe. When we don't even know the enemies that presented themselves as friends to get involved into our affairs, the Lord still kept us safe. We have no idea if there are even some people who embark on special journey to do us evil because the Lord put their counsel and enterprise to nothing. Despite every situations that appears inform of hardship, challenges, adversity, sickness, dissapointment, lack, hopelessness the Lord made us all to scale through. Only God can do this; if not Him, who else? You may have not achieved what you think you might have achieved by now; the fact that you have life is an assurance that you will achieve even more. Can you pause what you are doing and appreciate God. Irrespective of what has happened and what will happen God remains God; and He needs no man to be the God He is. ___________________________________ Question For Meditation: + If the LORD had not been on your side what would your life had been? Prayer Point Bless the Lord Oh my Soul, forget not His benefits in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis The reason behind the life you have, your achievements and aspirations is the fact that the Lord stood by your side!!! Have an Awesome Tuesday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [30-12-2019] Focus: The Funny Nature of Life WORD FOR TODAY Yesterday cannot be compared with today neither will tomorrow's experience be the same with today's experience. As you proceed in destiny always remember that life is characterized by uncertainties!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "I have seen servants on horses, While princes walk on the ground like servants." (Ecclesiastes 10:7 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Life is life because it can be so unpredictable. In the mathematics of life 1+1 will not be always 2. Therefore, a good man will approach things in life with sense of love and humility. Do not underestimate the plan of God over his people even when they appear incapacitated. Portiphar could not believe that Joseph would become the Prime Minister of Egypt when he was a slave in his house. His brothers could not believe what they saw when he made himself known to them. No matter how rich and famous you think you are; life can make you to become the shadow of what you were, and at the same time you can grow and increase bountifully. Irrespective of your status at present know that you are a man of the future. Respect, love and honour men at your disposal because there is a measure of God in them. Those who look down on people God brought their ways ended up falling from grace. Be mindful that you will only scale through various hurdles of life if God is still having your back. ___________________________________ Question For Meditation: + What can you say about life? Prayer Point Lord! Help me to always find grace in the wilderness of life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis Every man who understand what life is all about will be simple and treat men with love in all aspect of life!!! Have a Gracious Week Ahead!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [29-12-2019] Focus: The True Essence of Life WORD FOR TODAY The life of a man can only measure up to fulfill its essence each time he manifests the real attributes of love in becoming a blessing to other men. Every good man takes pleasure in putting a smile in people's face!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live" (Ecclesiastes 3:12 NIV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You have every right to be happy and also to make others happy. Most of our experience in life is meant to teach us the real nature of life for our definition. No man can define what life is beyond his experience. You cannot understand hunger like the man who is not fasting but stayed several days without food. There are people without good shelter, clothes, health and other basic things of life. Nevertheless, there are people who built houses which are empty with no one living there; those who have big boxes of plenty clothes they can't even wear for years and people who waste several resources that most people earnestly desire. Your impact in the lives of men is a major factor that determines your fulfillment in life. There is nothing good for a man like using his existence to be a blessing. No man will ever forget the man who fed him while hungry, the man that assisted in meeting critical needs, the man who helped him to secure a good Job or connect him to greatness, way of prosperity, salvation or gave useful advice that led him to having breakthrough in various aspect of life. Be an extended hand of the almighty God to be a blessing to people in a time like this. Be a channel through which God will answer the earnest prayers of His people. __________________________________ Question For Meditation: + When last do men pray for you from the depth of their heart on the account the love shown to them? Prayer Point: Lord! Make me a true blessing to my generation in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: The smile you put on people's face is a replica of God's feeling about your existence!!! Have a Blessed Worship Experience!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [28-12-2019] Focus: When the time is right WORD FOR TODAY Marital relationship initiated at the wrong time will lead to a wrong marriage. There is time to love; do not awaken love until the time is right!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Oh, let me warn you, sisters in Jerusalem: Don't excite love, don't stir it up, until the time is ripe--and you're ready." (Song of Solomon 8:4 MSB) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The institution called marriage was instituted by God Himself; it was His sole idea. Hence, every man who is truly wise will involve God and wait upon Him at the junction of marital choice. The fact that there is time for everything establishes the fact that there is time to love. Do not awaken love or take a step to initiate a marital relationship at a time when both God and His people will not justify such act. Sometimes, it is not even the function of age, financial capability, achievements and other common criteria but a function of God's will and His approval; when it will be said of you that: it is not good for you to be alone. Love will be real and true to fulfill its essence in every marital affair when it is initiated at the right time. Even when it appears as if you have limited physical resources and the time is ripe for you under God, do not hesitate to initiate love; by faith God will see you through. Be mindful of the fact that marriage is honourable among all, and the bed undefiled and that God will judge fornicators and adulterers (Heb.13.4). Patiently wait upon the Lord for the right partner at the right time. __________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Do you believe God is always right on time? Prayer Point: Lord! You are always right on time; I receive the grace to always wait upon you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Initiating a marital relationship at the right time is critical to a right marriage!!! Have a Blissful Weekend!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [27-12-2019] Focus: Your Career your Ministry WORD FOR TODAY Most of what we do for a living takes the best and considerable time of our lives; therefore whatever you do must be done in service to man on behalf of God. Taking your career as a ministry is the best way to give your best to God!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men" (Colosian 3:23 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What we do for a living gives us the best platform to meet people and render services that meet their needs. Hence, the Lord is expecting us to use what we do and what we have to affect lives. Despite the fact that we need money to cater for our needs through what we do, it must not always be about money; see yourself as a minister of God. The car of a man suddenly broke down on a Monday morning while going to work, the Police instead of helping him out of the problem chained the car and charged him for allowing his car to break down. There are some hospitals that will never perform any treatment on patients until they pay their bills no matter how critical the condition of such patient is. Be mindful of the fact that humanity comes first in whatever you do. A doctor have been trying to treat one of his patients of a sickness but his effort yielded no positive result. He resolved to praying with the patient to seek God's intervention and succeeded. The lives of men and their future is entrusted into your hands; render your services to them as unto the Lord irrespective of your profession. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Do you serve God with who God made you to be? Prayer Point: Lord! I receive the grace to serve you with my useful years and be a blessing to my world in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: In rendering service to humanity, let people see God in your life!!! Have a Graceful Friday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [26-12-2019] Focus: A Room For Jesus WORD FOR TODAY The more the room you create for Christ Jesus in your life, the more of His good pleasure He will work out in your life. You can only experience the fullness of God's work in your life only when the Lord finds space to live His life in you!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn." (Luke 2:7 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At the birth of Christ Jesus into the world; an impression which is significant to the entire human race was created. Despite the fact that people need Jesus to live successfully on earth and fulfill God's purpose; many will not create space for Him. The only available space for Jesus was the manger. There was no room for Him in the inn. Many people are still living in or struggling with sin because there is no room for Him in their heart. Creating room for Him has an eternal implication. Someday, every man will approach God to find room for themselves in eternity but they will find that there is no room for them because they created no space for Him. Allow the wisdom of God to rule in your heart. Many things that is taking our time are all passing away; we will be taking a great risk if we fail to give the saviour of our soul the required space in our lives. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Does Christ Jesus have a space in your life? Prayer Point: Lord! I give you my life; rule in all affairs of my life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Put away everything occupying the space of God in your life!!! Have a Beautiful Thursday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [25-12-2019] Focus: In the Manger WORD FOR TODAY The place you were born, the circumstance that surrounds your birth and how you were born is not the most important thing but fulfilling your days in the land of the living. Christ was born in the manger yet He is the Lord of all!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn." (Luke 2:7 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Everything about Christ Jesus was not only significant to His person or His purpose but also significant to our destiny on earth. Your beginning may be small, with Jesus in the affairs of your life, so great and glorious will your end be. With His birth at the manger He passed the first message of the fact that He is humble and lowly in heart to the entire human race. You will surely be what the Lord wants you to be irrespective of the experience you have had so far in life. You have to submit your entire life to Jesus and allow Him to live His life in you to work out His good pleasure in your life. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + What do you think about your life with respect to your birth? Prayer Point: Lord! I celebrate your Lordship and your goodwill to all mankind in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: The birth of Jesus brings hope of a glorious future!!! Have a Wonderful Christmas Celebration!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [24-12-2019] Focus: What Matters Most WORD FOR TODAY Celebrating Christmas or not does not make you a sinner or a saint. Committing sin irrespective of who you are, your church, belief or affiliations is what make you a sinner; while living righteously to do the will of God is what makes you a saint!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man." (Ecclesiastes 12:13 NIV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The most important duty you have in every thing you do is to reverence God by doing His will alone. It is an established fact that 25th of December was not the exact date Jesus Christ was born and that it was a day some set of people celebrate their gods. This is never an issue. 25th was just like any other day widely accepted to celebrate the fact that Christ was born. Look at the entire world, there is no celebration like Christmas; this is because the entire world was programmed around Him and about Him. The awareness of His birth is critical to our message to the world. Celebrate Jesus by accepting Him into your life and allowing Him to live His life in you. It is not only about eating and drinking but a time to reflect about the essence of His coming. This is a season of Repentance, Restitution, Joy, Love, Peace, Hope, Happiness and gladness. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Who do you want people to celebrate if not Jesus Christ? Prayer Point: Lord! I celebrate your Lordship and your goodwill to all mankind in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Don't bring issue out of no issue, If you have been saved you have every right to celebrate Jesus Christ all the time!!! Have a Glorious Tuesday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [23-12-2019] Focus: It is Well WORD FOR TODAY When the unexpected negative situation happens and various expectations are not met, faith proclaims and believe all is well. The Lord in His attribute uses both the good and the bad situation of life to work out His purpose in the lives of men!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "For I know the thought that I think towards you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope" (Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Whatever your experience might have been, looking back through the years the fact still remains that the thought of the Lord over your life is for your good aiming towards an expected end. This is the confidence you need if you must fulfill your course in the land of the living. Many times we may be tempted with respect to some situation in our lives to say God is not fair. The worst is most likely to happen to us when we make comparison with what is happening in the lives of those around us. Whatever the case might have been with you be sure of the fact that everything is working out for your good in fulfillment of God's purpose in your life. When it seems you don't understand what is happening in your life be sure that God has taken it over to work out His good pleasure. If you must say something about it let it be: all is well. As the year is running out don't forget that several lives have been lost already; if you are still alive then it's an indication that God is very much interested to make you see more of His goodness in the land of the living. ___________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Do you belief all will be well? Prayer Point Lord! I thank you for my life; I am very optimistic that all is well with me in Jesus name. Amen! Main Emphasis Whatever your lot in the land of the living; it is well with your soul because His thought for you is of peace and a hope of a wonderful future. Have a Peaceful Week Ahead!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [22-12-2019] Focus: Giving Meaning to your Life WORD FOR TODAY The life of a man is meaningless until he lives to please God in every bid to fulfull His purpose. "Everything in life is meaningless until you give it a meaning!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Anything I wanted, I would take. I denied myself no pleasure. I even found great pleasure in hard work, a reward for all my labors. But as I looked at everything I had worked so hard to accomplish, it was all so meaningless--like chasing the wind. There was nothing really worthwhile anywhere." (Ecclesiastes 2:10-11 NLT). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The life we have is given to us so as to give it a meaning. At the end of your life, people will define it base on the meaning you give to it. Many people are living for nothing because their existence does not add any value to their generation. Life became meaningless to King Solomon when live his prime age to act contrary to God's will. Afterwards, he came to an important conclusion after exploiting the best things that life offers in his own time that everything is meaningless without God and that the principal duty of a man is to fear God and live by His principles (Eccl 12). He also admonishes us to remember the Creator in the days of our youth. There is more to life than all life's achievement. The way you lived on earth defines your blessedness in the heart of men and in eternity. Give your existence a meaning by living to please God at all cost. Allow God to fulfill His purpose and do His good pleasure through your life. ___________________________________ Question For Meditation: + What meaning do you give to your life? Prayer Point Lord! I receive the grace to live a meaningful life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis Without God, life has no purpose, and without purpose, life has no meaning. Without meaning life has no significance or hope. Have a Wonderful Worship Experience!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [21-12-2019] Focus: Honour Your Promises WORD FOR TODAY Each time it comes to any matter that has to do with promises or oath between two or more people be mindful of the fact that God is a witness. The fact that God is a righteous judge affirms the fact that there will always be a detrimental consequence for every man who fails to honour promises by keeping it!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, "It is because of Saul and his bloodthirsty house, because he killed the Gibeonites." (2 Samuel 21:1 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There was famine during the days of King David because King Saul failed to honour the promises made to the Gibeonites. God did not over look what King Saul did and He made the Israelites pay dearly even when King Saul was no more. In like manner, God will not over look any promise you break for whatever reason. God remains the invisible witness in every case that has to do with agreement and promises. Most of the time promises make people in relationship to lose or release their security; secrets are revealed and great sacrifices are usually involved. Honour every promise made be it in business, engagement and any form of relationship. Honour your marital vows. Each time you break promises for whatever reason you must offer the sacrifice of atonement by fulfilling the promises or making an appeal (pleading) to the party involved. In making promises ensure that you count the cost and make up your mind to fulfill them come what may. Keep reminding yourself the aspect of your own commitment to the promises. ___________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Do you honour your promises? Prayer Point Lord! I receive the grace to honour every promise made in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis There is no man who break promises that will not experience famine in various aspect of life!!! Have a Blissful Weekend!!! |

The best way to see yourself is to see yourself the way God sees you!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "All go to one place: all are from the dust, and all return to dust." (Ecclesiastes 3:20 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Isa 41:14 the Lord saw Jacob as a worm who needs not to fear because He will help him. The best of the best of a man's achievement with himself inclusive will return to dust. A man is at the verge of missing it when he begins to contemplate having something better in comparison to others. There is no basis for comparison in destiny. The truth is that not all men have access to the same level of wisdom, resources, calibre of people, mercy and favour. There are people who will do more than what you are doing or achieve if they were given the grace you enjoyed so far in life. Don't invest your life, time or the resources in aiming to achieve something better than someone; you may end up becoming disappointed but rather try to get just the best for yourself based on the measure of grace made available for you. Keep focus on your track in destiny and run with patient the race set before you. Thank God for what He has done for you and hope for the best. ___________________________________ Question For Meditation: + In what way do you think you are better than someone? How much about tomorrow do you know? Prayer Point Lord! I just want to be who you want me to be; I will fulfill my mandate in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis To run your race in relation to others is to interchange your pace in destiny!!! Have a Magnificent Friday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [19-12-2019] Focus: Your Time will Come WORD FOR TODAY It is in the plan of God for you to get the desires of your heart in His own way at a particular season according to His unique design for your destiny. Take the honourable path of life to fulfilling your desires!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil." (Proverbs 3:5-7 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When a man begins to think of taking the dishonourable part to fulfill his desire; such desire becomes an evil desire. Whatever comes to your heart according to His will is also part of what the Lord is set to do in your life at a particular season. However, the devil will try and provide several options to fulfill your desires. In the actual sense a temporary relief or achievement will be achieved but at the later end it will result to destruction. You must learn to trust and acknowledge God by walking in His ways in every bid to meeting your needs and fulfilling your desires. You can entrust your life into the Lord's hands and He will work out His good pleasure in your life in due season. Wait for your time! ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Are you treading the honourable path of life? Prayer Point: Lord! Help me to always take the honourable path of life, I will not miss my time in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Acknowledging God is the first and foremost step to fulfilling your desire!!! Have an Outstanding Thurday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [18-12-2019] Focus: Allow God to Bless You II WORD FOR TODAY If you must enjoy your achievements in the land of the life you must wait upon the Lord to bless you. Whatever you achieve in disobedience to God's will and principles for your life will in a long run not be blessed!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Like a bird that hatches eggs she has not laid, so are those who get their wealth by unjust means. Sooner or later they will lose their riches and, at the end of their lives, will become poor old fools. (Jeremaih 17:11 NLT) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is a place of happiness, joy, peace, satisfaction, contentment and fulfillment in every achievement of a man in the land of the living. You can only have the aforementioned qualities only when you are blessed of the Lord. When these are missing in any achievement it becomes a curse. We have heard about men who achieved alot based on the parameter men used to measure success and prosperity but their achievements didnot stop them from committing suicide. Gehazi became leprous, Achan died untimely and King Saul lost out in the purpose of God for his life. These happened to these men due to their quest to achieve something for themselves. It is only a matter of time; you will also come to point in the jouney of destiny where only what will matter in your life is the blessing that comes from God. Allow God to bless you. Don't jeopardize your peace and the precious plan of God for you by disobeying God in every quest to advance further in life. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Are you blessed of the Lord? Prayer Point: Lord! Help me to honour you with my life; bless me in your righteousness in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: You are truly blessed if and only if you are blessed of the Lord!!! Have a Fulfilled Wednesday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [17-12-2019] Focus: Allow God to Bless You WORD FOR TODAY You are not blessed irrespective of what you have and have achieved in any domain of life until you gain God's approval. The vacuum of unfulfillment will continue to remain in the heart of the man who is not blessed of the Lord!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "But he said, "I will not let You go unless You bless me!" (Genesis 32:26b NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Being blessed is not a matter of what you have or your achievements and the position you have attained in every domain of life. You cannot consider yourself to be blessed until you have this strong assurance in your heart that you are blessed of the Lord. What is the essence of your achievement if it does not give you joy or sense of fulfillment? Why will you sacrifice your peace because of an achievement that introduces guilt into your heart? Jacob came to a point in the journey of destiny where everything he had became irrelevant to him and he discovered that he could not continue until the Lord blessed him. Many people in their quest for honour, position and material possession of life lost their salvation and their relationship with God. A day is coming when you will also desire just only the blessing that comes from God. Allow God to bless you. Wait upon Him to rain His blessing upon your life. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Are you blessed of the Lord? Prayer Point: Lord! Arise and bless me in your righteousness in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Assurance of God's blessing is required if you must be fulfilled!!! Have a Blessed Tuesday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [16-12-2019] Focus: As Unto the Lord WORD FOR TODAY Whatever will last and please God is what is done based on God's specification and not of men. Our world will be a wonderful place if all things will be done as unto the Lord!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." (Colossians 3:23-24 NIV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The major problem of our generation is nothing else but ignoring the precept of God. If every man will be mindful of the fact that God is involved in all affairs, things will fall into its rightful place. Sometimes when we observe the developed countries, we admire most of what we see in terms of infrastructure, technological advancement, service to humanity and plans and vision for its citizen. Going through the memory lane and history, you will discover that men who were at the helm of various affairs of the country were men who loved their country and performed their duties as if they were serving God You also, have an opportunity today, you are a servant of God in the domain of your placement. Do away with eye service, live not your life to please men. Render your services with the fear of God. You will be held responsible for every life lost and those ones who lose out in the purpose of God on the account of your service be it as a Pastor, Teacher, Lecturer, Doctor, Engineer, Lawyer, Politician, Scientist, Journalist, Banker, Accountant etc. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Are you serving God with your profession? Prayer Point: Lord! Help me to serve you with whatever I am and will be in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: You have not served until you serve God with what your profession!!! Have an Impressive Week Ahead!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [15-12-2019] Focus: The Man in Every Man WORD FOR TODAY The fact that we all have the adamic nature makes it compulsory for every wise man to weary and beware of the man in every man!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men, and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man" (John 2:24-25 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The true identity of a man at every point in time is not his physical appearance but the man in him at that very point in time. Jesus who is the author and the finisher of our faith did not give Himself to men just because He knew the desperate wicked nature of the heart of men. This understanding made Him live successfully among the likes of Judas, Pharisees and other wicked men. Any man (your intimate friend, household members, neighbours, family members, church member, colleague at work or even some so called men of God) can be an instrument in the hands of the evil ones; if they submit themselves to be used by the devil. We have seen men who entrusted their entire lives in the hand of their friends or close associate thinking that they would have their back when life situation tends to pull them down like the force of gravity but failed to do so at that critical point. Don't be careless with your life, be filled with the Holy Spirit so as to be able to discern the man who is in charge in the lives of the men you are dealing with. The level of your relationship with men must not be based on common physical interest alone but through the leading of the Holy Spirit. ___________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Have you at any point in time being a victim of men's wickedness? Prayer Point Lord! I receive the grace to discern your will for my life in every aspect of life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis We are required to deal with every man with respect to the man in him at every point in time!! Have a Wonderful Worship Experience!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [14-12-2019] Focus: Honouring Your Marriage WORD FOR TODAY Whatever comes in between a man and a woman in holy matrimony dishonours their marriage. The primary responsibility of every man in marriage is to honour his/her marriage because it is God's ideal- Gbile Akanni ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge." (Hebrews 13:4 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wedding is an event but marriage is a life long process. Your marriage is a package of divine favour. You are the first person to honour your marriage; what you call it, is what people will see it to be. Every man is expected to honour his/her marriage in the following way: ✴️Cherish your marriage: thank God for your spouse. ✴️Honour the uniqueness of your marriage: there is no marriage like yours. It is a dishonour to look at other homes and forcing its affairs on yours. A marriage is destroyed when spouses no longer see the uniqueness of their marriage. ✴️Honour the exclusiveness of your marriage: Whatever threatens, reduce and lower the pace and atmosphere of your marriage dishonours it. ✴️Honour the particularity of your marriage: if you are not particular about your spouse, he/she will be lost in the crowd. ✴️Honour the intimacy of your marriage. No one else must see your unclothedness. Discussion and talk exclusive to your home must never be discussed outside your home. ✴️Keep your life free from the love of money: every job that keeps you away from your spouse dishonours your marriage. ___________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Do you honour your marriage? Prayer Point Lord! Help us to honour our marriages in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis Whatever comes in between you and your spouse dishonours your marriage!!! Have a Blissful Weekend!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [13-12-2019] Focus: Something that cost you something WORD FOR TODAY Every sacrifice comes with a great cost. When it comes to giving to God our creator we must ensure that we give to Him a thing that really cost you something!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Then the king said to Araunah, "No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God with that which costs me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver." (2 Samuel 24:24 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ God does not need men to be the God He is but we need Him to fulfill our mandate in the land of the living. God in His principles give back to men according to the measure of what they give. The fact that there are people who take advantage of the heart of sacrifice of men towards God to enrich themselves, should not hinder you to offer quality sacrifices to God. Your pace in life and what your life will turn out to be depend on your sacrifices. Solomon's journey to significance began the day He gave bountifully to God at the inception of his reign. The value of what you give God will always be in the proportion of what God gave you. A man who has $200000 and gives God $2000 actually gave something but what did it cost him? Whatever you do becomes sacrifice if and only if it costs you something. God needs your time, money, expertise and material possessions to execute His divine plans on earth. ___________________________________ Question For Meditation: + What does giving to God cost you? Prayer Point Lord! Help me to live a life of sacrifice in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis True giving begins with giving something that cost you something!!! Have a Terrific Friday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [12-12-2019] Focus: All men are like grass WORD FOR TODAY All our greatness is like the flower that drops and falls away; no man can be great forever here on earth!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "For, All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall." (1Peter 1:24 NIV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Every flower and vegetation around us depict the nature of our lives as men. No matter how beautiful a flower appears to be it will fade with time. There is a need for you to evaluate your life and make critical analysis of what you have and what you have achieved so far in the journey of destiny and consider them as flower whose beauty fade with time. We must not always shy away from the fact that an end will come to our pilgrimage. We will all return back to God and all greatness will be forgotten with time. Your awards and certificates will at best be a reference point but will become useless to you when you pass unto eternity. Try as much as possible to make each moment count in the presence of God and be committed to preparing for eternity. You will be running at loss if all you use your life to do does not have any eternal value. Find grace under God to live a worthy life that please Him in everything you do. ___________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Do you live a life with significant eternal value? Prayer Point Lord! Help me to live a life with significant eternal value in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis There is nothing you have or achieve that will not be outdated!!! Have a Superb Thursday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [11-12-2019] Focus: Journey to Significance WORD FOR TODAY Every Journey to significance always come with great sacrifice. Your capacity and pace in the journey of destiny will be defined by the level of your sacrifices!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it." (2 Chronicle 1:6 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Solomon gave bountifully to God in a manner which some people who lack the knowledge of who God is and how to relate with Him will term it as being extravagant. This singular act brought about wisdom, knowledge and understanding with unspeakable prosperity that no one has ever had in his own time. The fact that our God is the same even till date makes this principle applicable to us in this end time. All men who became something for God and shook their generation positively were those who made unique sacrifices. The likes of Abraham, David, Joseph, Daniel and Apostle Paul didn't become who they were in destiny without sacrificing something. Every dreamer must bear it in mind that unique sacrifice is required to bring dreams to reality in the land of the living. You don't become something by doing nothing. One thing you must never fail to do as you go on in life is that you must never fail in paying the price required for the fulfillment of your mandate as required by God and your calling. ___________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Have you seen any man who became something significant in life without a price? Prayer Point Lord! Help me to identify and pay the price required for the fulfillment of my destiny in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis A man will only come to significance in destiny if and only if he pays the sacrifice involved!!! Have an Outstanding Wednesday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [10-12-2019] Focus: Methodology for your Pilgrimage WORD FOR TODAY All men who ran and won the race in various aspect of life, ran the race according to the rules and the precept of God. If you must win the race set before you then you must be ready to submit to the underlying principle of God peculiar to your 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. (Hebrew 12:1NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As we proceed in the journey of destiny we must be mindful of the following: 1. There are cloud of witnesses around you. Whatever you may be passing through in your pilgrimage is not new; it is a typical experience of a man in the journey of destiny. Several men have terrible experiences of life more than you do yet they did not fail God. 2. Lay aside every weight of sin: Sin is factor which hindered several men from getting to the peak of God's plan for their lives. The likes of Achan, Gehazi, Samson are typical examples. Abraham did not lay hold on God's promises until he walked before God in perfection. The presence of sin in the life of a man limits how far he can go in God's plan for him. 3. Run the race set before you: Your destiny is unique. Don't engage in frantic race of comparison with other men. Run your race based on the measure of grace given to you to fulfill your peculiar mandate in the journey of destiny. ____________________________________ Question For Meditation: + How are you running your race? Prayer Point: Lord! My destiny will not fail. Help me to live a meaningful life before you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Successful pilgrimage begins with running according to the right methodology!!! Have a Fruitful Tuesday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [09-12-2019] Focus: The Price of your Glory WORD FOR TODAY There is no glory without a price. If you must manifest the glory of God based on the peculiarity of your purpose in life, you must pay the price associated to it!!! ************************************ 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." (Hebrews 12:2 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All men who manifested the glory of God in their pilgrimage paid a price. We can see this in the life of our Lord Jesus who is the author of our salvation; He endured the cross and bore the shame before He was glorified to be the Lord. Your case will not be an exception. There is a price you must pay to be who God wants you to be. The evil one tries as much as possible to ensure that men do not attained the height and the glory God wants them to attain. He presents vain glory to them and deceives them that there is no need to pay the price of endurance and bearing the shame of the cross. Hence, many people settle for less than what God have for them. The glory of the Lord would have not been attached to the life of the likes of Joseph, 3 Hebrews and Daniel; If Joseph had yielded to the advances of Portiphar's wife; If the 3 Hebrews had bowed to the golden image and If Daniel had refused to pray to the most High God when he was told not to. They all paid the price of standing in God's will and God stood by them to bring His word to pass for the glory of His name. ____________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Are you committed to paying the price of your glory? Prayer Point: Lord! My life will always fulfill your purpose and your glory will be revealed in me in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: The manifestation of God's glory is not without a price!!! Have a Magnificient Week Ahead |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [08-12-2019] Focus: The Lord Has a Need of it WORD FOR TODAY Your life is an investment in the hands of the Almighty God. Nothing happens to you by accident but according plan to fulfill His purpose!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "And if anyone asks you, "Why are you loosing it?" thus you shall say to him, "Because the Lord has need of it." (Luke 19:31 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Have you at any time have a thorough evaluation of your life with respect to your experiences so far in life (both the good and the bad) and the grace made available for you? All what has happened to you happened for a purpose; the Lord has a need for it. Every word of God coming to you on daily basis through various medium is tailored towards preparing you for something ahead. The blessing of the Lord at your disposal is meant to help you to play your part in fulfilling God's purpose. Be mindful of the fact that your conception was never your idea, the Lord took a thought of you before you come into realization of who you are. Brace up and make yourself available to fulfill the purpose of your creation. Use what you have, what you've achieved so far and what you are achieving to fulfill purpose in the land of the living! ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + In what way is your life fulfilling purpose? Prayer Point: Lord! My life will always fulfill your purpose and your glory will be revealed in me in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Every issue that has to do with your life; is not of you but of the One whose idea brought about your existence!!! Have a Gracious Worship Experience |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [07-12-2019] Focus: Two are Better than One WORD FOR TODAY The fact that God created every man uniquely makes us imperfect as an individual. No matter how wonderful your life appear to be the fact still remains that you will always need someone to watch your back!!! ************************************ Scriptural Reference "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!" (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 NIV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is no man without a weakness. A statement may be wrong and correct at the same time from different angle, view, experience and perception. Therefore, God brings us into relationships to ensure that our life is correct. The essence of bringing two to become one is to workout perfection. However, two people will only become one in perfect relationship when they accept each other in love. Submitting to one another in love is very essential to becoming one. When the Lord is set to bring a man into perfection; he brings him into marriage and other special relationships. You may not know in details the lapses in your life until you come to commit your life in absolute unclothedness to another for close examination and criticism. The purpose of this is to ensure adequate covering of various lapses and for the other person to serve as compliment to your life. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + How far can you go all alone in life? Prayer Point: Lord! Let me never be without a covenant destiny helper in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: No man succeeds in isolation; two are better than one!!! Have a Blissful Weekend!!! |
