Christianity EtcTwo Are Better Than One by jonatoye(op): 7:59am On Dec 07, 2019
~~~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.

Focus: A Brother Indeed

WORD FOR TODAY
The essence of the investments of God over your life is for you to be a blessing to your world. Every man needs a brother in the time of adversity!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity."
(Proverbs 17:17 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of those things we cannot avoid in the land of the living is adversity. Irrespective of the blessing of God you have enjoyed so far in life be mindful of the fact that adversity is a typical experience of all men on earth. This is necessary to remind us that this world is not our permanent abode.

As a temporary measure God places men at every junction of life to make love available and provide necessary assistance at those times. The men around you are there to help you; just like you are also there to help them.

Therefore, every man is a needy at all times; our needs only differs. When it is in your capacity to help a man do not hesitate to do that. Make yourself available to stand in the place of God to provided the necessary assistance needed by men in need.

Everything you do through love is actually a seed sown for your future. This life can be very funny at times, what you think you don't need, your son and other close associates may need. Live your today for tomorrow; sow the seed of love and be a brother indeed.

************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. " (Proverb 4:23 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In your relationship with men be mindful of the fact that men will always be men and not angels. Men will only see your appearance and the actions you put in place in every issues of life and not your motive or intentions.

Try as much as possible to find help under God to guard your heart and treat men with love and respect. Be transparent in your dealings with men and ensure that you deal with them with understanding.

Focus: At the Last Moment

WORD FOR TODAY
The man who will receive what God has promised is the one that will wait till the last moment. You have not believed God until you wait on Him till the last moment!!!

Christianity EtcWhen And What You Should Celebrate by jonatoye(op): 6:10am On Dec 03, 2019
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~
________________________________
[03-12-2019]

Focus: When and What you should celebrate

WORD FOR TODAY
If you must celebrate, it must be on the account of God's goodness in your life and the fact that God is pleased with your existence. The only time your celebration is valid before God is when your name is in the book of life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven." (Luke 10:20 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of those things that prompt men to celebrate in every facet of life is good result. When men achieve good result in academics, marriage, career, business, job etc. they have no choice than to celebrate.

There are several men who are just desperate and offer themselves to do just whatever it takes to get result. These people will still call for a party to celebrate unrighteous gains or result that emanates from compromise.

Our Lord made it clear to us that getting results even if it is through righteousness is not enough reason to celebrate but gaining God's approval and maintaining sonship or citizenship with Him after all is said and done in every facet of life. In everything you do, you must be rest assured that God is pleased with you and that your salvation is intact whether your result is favourable or not.

Christianity EtcBetween Mercy And Merit by jonatoye(op): 12:35pm On Dec 02, 2019
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~
________________________________
[02-12-2019]

Focus: Between Mercy and Merit

WORD FOR TODAY
The major difference between merit and mercy is the degree of God's involvement over various issues of life. Merit speaks more of your capacity while mercy denotes the capacity of God working on your behalf!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For He says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion." So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy." (Romans 9:15-16 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Despite the fact that God expects you to play your part in every issue that has to do with your life; He does not want you to depend on your strength alone. The Lord wants you to depend and trust your entire life to Him in all issues of life.

Merit sets limit to how far you can go or the position of your placement but mercy qualifies you beyond your qualification. You have never seen or have access to some places, but when God decides to have mercy on you; God's mercy will speak for you there.

The beauty of your capability is in how much your life operates under His mercy. Life has proven over the time that; what you get is not commensurate to the level of your effort or capability. Until a man understands the concept of God's mercy; he will never enjoy the fullness of God's goodness in the land of the living.
________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ Do you desire God's mercy above merit?

Prayer Point:
Look upon me Oh Lord and be merciful unto me; just as you always do unto those who love your name in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Happy New Month
________________________________
[01-12-2019]

Focus: Life is a Trust

WORD FOR TODAY
The fact that men came into the earth with nothing validates the fact that we really don't have anything except what God has entrusted into our hands. To every trust there is a giving of an account - Purpose Driven Life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;" (Psalms 24:1 NIV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our time on earth and our energy, intelligence, opportunities, relationships, and resources are all gifts from God that He has entrusted to our care and management.

We are steward of whatever God gives us. This concept of stewardship begins with the recognition that God is the owner of everything and everyone on earth. We never really own anything during our brief stay on earth. God just loans the earth to us while we are here. It was God's property before you arrived, and God will loan it to someone else after you die. You just get to enjoy it for a while.

At the end of your life on earth you will be evaluated and rewarded according to how well you handled what God entrusted to you. That means everything you do no matter how insignificant it appears to be, has eternal implication.

Therefore, everything we enjoy is to be treated as a trust that God has placed in our hands. As you move on in life you must be conscious of the fact that life is a test and a trust, and the more God gives you, the more responsible He expects you to be.
________________________________

Christianity EtcMarriage: The Place Of Submission And Love by jonatoye(op): 5:51pm On Nov 30, 2019
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~
________________________________
[30-11-2019]

Focus: Marriage: The Place of Submission and Love

WORD FOR TODAY
A woman who cannot submit to a man's authority and a man who cannot submit himself to God to love his wife in the manner Christ love the church and gave himself to it, should not marry. Marriage is a place of submission and love!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God." (Ephesians 5:21KJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The issue of submission in marriage is not the duty of the woman alone. As the woman is expected to submit to her husband so also the man is expected to submit to Christ to love his wife by accepting her the way she is in all circumstances.

Love is all about sacrifice; it is about God and His attributes. One of those things that validate the fact that you are a Child of God is that you obey God. A woman who truly know God and loves her husband will not have problem with submission and when a man truly displays the attributes of God to love unconditionally He will definitely earn respect and submission from the wife effortlessly.

As a single man/woman you must never marry a woman/man who have not submitted to God with respect to the way of His life. Anyone still living in sin or making sinful advances towards you have not submitted to God and such will not make a good husband or wife.

Christianity EtcIdentifying Your Opportunities by jonatoye(op): 5:17am On Nov 29, 2019
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~
________________________________
[29-11-2019]

Focus: Identifying Your Opportunities

WORD FOR TODAY
Life is not designed to give you what you need but will always make available for you the opportunity to get what you want. Identifying your opportunities is a critical factor that determines what your life will be!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going. (Ecclesiastes 9:10 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Opportunities come to a man by how best he does things. What you will get in life is not dependent absolutely on what God wants to give you but how much you can identify and grab your opportunities.

Joseph did not just become the Prime Minister of Egypt by doing nothing even though it was the plan of God for him; he fulfilled the plan of God for His life by using His gift even among prisoners. His recommendation to the throne came from there. David also found his way to the throne by the virtue of his skill in playing instruments among ordinary people who spoke of him when his service was needed in the palace.

As you proceed in destiny you will also come into various places that will give you an opportunity to serve. Each time there is a call for any form of responsibility or you identify one; opportunity to fulfill your mandate has come. Your attitude towards those responsibilities defines your blessings.

Christianity EtcWhen And What You Should Not Celebrate by jonatoye(op): 9:12am On Nov 28, 2019
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~
________________________________
[28-11-2019]

Focus: When and What you should not celebrate

WORD FOR TODAY
The fact that something dies in a man when he sins against God validates the fact that when he falls into sin is not a time to rejoice but a time to mourn and repent from his evil ways. You must not celebrate your sin, short comings, failure, error and every act of unrighteousness!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands." (Jonah 3:8 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Short comings in the life of a man cuts a man short. When a man sin he falls short of God's glory (Rom 3:23). When the King of Nineveh heard the verdict of God over their land they did not sleep over it but took action in the right direction turning to the Lord in repentance.

The wages of sin is death (Rom 6:23). This is the verdict of God over all men who sin. It is a pity that several men still rejoice in their sins and errors because of the pleasure they are deriving from it. Do not be deceived, God cannot be mocked; don't hide under the platform of grace to do evil or sin against God and don't take the time made available for your repentance for granted.

Similarly, don't celebrate your problems and challenges. Cast your cares and burden upon the Lord and leave it there. One of those ways to overcome life challenges is to stop thinking about them to go about your normal life fulfilling your God's given mandate.

Christianity EtcRemaining Still Under Pressure by jonatoye(op): 4:34am On Nov 27, 2019

________________________________
[27-11-2019]

Focus: Remaining Still Under Pressure

WORD FOR TODAY
The best approach to various life's situation which mounts pressure on you is to remain calm and still. To really know and experience the real power and personality of God you must be still!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Moses told the people, Fear not; stand still (firm, confident, undismayed) and see the salvation of the Lord which He will work for you today. For the Egyptians you have seen today you shall never see again." (Exodus 14:13 AMP).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Israelites on the pathway towards the promised land came under intense pressure as a result of the host of Egyptians and the red sea right before them. They were terrified and accepted to die, but the word of the Lord came to them as stated in the text above. This they did and experienced the salvation of God.

You also, don't consider it strange each time various life situations mount pressure on you. When under such pressure, the best thing to do is to be still. To be still means to do nothing but hold on to what God wants to achieve with your situation.

Many people don't experience God just because they failed under pressure. The nemesis caused by the generation of Ishmaelites to the entire world is a result of the inability of Father Abraham to remain still while under the pressure of not having a child. You must be still if you really desire to experience God.

Focus: Maximise your Potential

WORD FOR TODAY
If you are dishonourable enough not to work, you will be dishonourable enough to beg; and if you are dishonourable enough to beg, you will be dishonourable enough to steal!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich."(Proverbs 13:4 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of the most important provision of God over your life is the strength you have. The entire management of your strength lies in your hands and the choices you make at every point in time. The ultimate driving force of all your actions is a product of how willing you are.

If God has done so much by His provisions; He expects every man to work. Working destroys the spirit of begging and stealing. Don't allow anybody to do anything for you out of pity; if you do, you will not be able to stand. A man who begs can never live a life of integrity and will never conform to God's standard. If you must fulfill your purpose on earth; you must live to be a blessing to your world.

It takes conscious effort for God to create everything you see including yourself. Every blessing and the provisions of God is not meant to perish in you. The purpose of your creation is for productivity. Maximize your potential to be an influential figure in your generation.

[25-11-2019]

Focus: The Seed of Love

WORD FOR TODAY
It is a privilege to be loved by men. You must never forget the seed of Love that has been sown into your life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"David asked, "Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan's sake?" (2 Samuel 9:1 NIV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After David settled down as King, He began to reflect about his past and the Love shown to Him when he was a nobody. He did not only stop at the point of reflection but also made an attempt to repay the kindness and the love shown to him. This happened because Jonathan the son of King Saul sowed the seed of love in the life of David.

You also, if you can take time to critically evaluate what has happened so far in your life you will discover that there is nothing you achieved without Love. The Lord in His graciousness prompted men to show you undisputed love.

Hence, you must never forget the seed of love sown into your life. Sow the seed of love in the lives of men who will also find themselves in situations similarly to those ones you were which prompted men to come to your aid.

[24-11-2019]

Focus: Life is a test

WORD FOR TODAY
A man is not really approved for living until he has been tested. Everything about a man's life is more or less a mere assumption until he has been proved by various situation of life - Purpose Driven Life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands." (Deuteronomy 8:2 NIV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are not a Christian by virtue of recommendation but by your lifestyle. Despite the fact that God gave a good recommendation about Job; He tested him to validate His recommendation.

Right from creation He tried to prove men who were to fit into His purpose on earth. The likes of Adam and Eve, Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, David, Ruth, Esther and Daniel were all tested.

God constantly watches your response to people, problems, success, conflict, illness, disappointment and even the weather. You will be tested by major challenges, delayed promises, impossible problems, unanswered prayers, undeserved criticism, senseless tragedies with the aim of validating your character, faith, obedience, hope and loyalty to Him.

When you understand that life is a test, you will realize that nothing is insignificant in your life. Everything is needed for character development. Most times God is not interested in changing the situation of a man just because He is very much interested in using circumstances in changing people to conform to His purpose on earth. Until your situation changes you to having the right view of things; God will not change your situation. Think about this!

Wherever the principles of God are broken, His promises are delayed. The Lord is ever committed to bringing His words to pass; the blessing of obedience and the punishment of disobedience!!!

************************************
Scriptural Reference
"If they listen and obey God, then they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives. All their years will be pleasant. But if they refuse to listen to him, they will perish in battle and die from lack of understanding." (Job 36:11-12 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each time a man breaks the principle of God he has succeeded in breaking His promises over him. The Lord will only take responsibility over your life irrespective of who you are and what you claim to be before men if you are walking in obedience to His principles.

All men who saw how the eyes of Samson was plugged out will say the Lord has abandoned him; whereas Samson on many occassion broke the principle of God and that of his calling. When a man keeps living his life contrary to God's principles he keeps subjecting the efficacy of the power of God in his life.

The fact that God is merciful does not change the fact that He does not compromise His principles. The Lord does not give up on us when we go astray but will always wait and delay His promises until we get it right with him. Hence, there are some miracles that will not happen in the life of a man until he walks in perfect obedience before God.

Question For Meditation:

Christianity EtcThe Evil Act Of Desperation by jonatoye(op): 8:43am On Nov 21, 2019

[21-11-2019]

Focus: The Evil Act of Desperation

WORD FOR TODAY
Every act of desperation tailored towards achieving a self motivated desire brings about evil and sinful act!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, "Look, my master has spared Naaman this Syrian, while not receiving from his hands what he brought; but as the LORD lives, I will run after him and take something from him." (2Kings 5:20 NJKV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every man who is desperate to achieve anything contrary to God's desire for him or what God is not ready to give him at a point in time will bring about destruction to his life and destiny. There is no man who can truly have something if He is not given by God. However, some men who tried to achieve something using dubious means actually acquired a curse rather than a blessing.

History will not forget Gehazi who brought leprosy for his household from Naaman out of his desperation to get some things contrary to God's will for his life. Also, Prince Absalom died untimely because he was very desperate to succeed King David even in his life time. His desperation made him to conspire against his own father and also sleep with his concubines.

Despiration leads men into shameful act and blindfold them to every moral and spiritual values. Do not allow desperation to set into the affairs of your life when it comes to finding wife/husband, placement, job, promotion or position etc. Walk peacefully into the precious plan of God in every aspect of life by obeying His principles. The only time desperation will help is when your quest is to find God and do His will.

Focus: A New Dawn

WORD FOR TODAY
There will always be a night between every two days. A new dawn puts an end to every period of the night!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"When I lie down I think, 'How long before I get up?' The night drags on, and I toss till dawn." (Job 7:4 NIV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No matter how long the night appears to drag the fact still remains that a new dawn is an aftermath of every night. We cannot but pass through the period of night to have an entirely new experience in every facet of life.

The night is characterised by different type of experiences. It is a time when nothing works; an hour of weeping, incapacitation and darkness. For some (the wicked and ungodly) the period of the night usher them into a new dawn of great misfortune while for others a new dawn of great resounding Joy.

The essence of making men to experience the night is to bring to their remembrance that God is the Almighty and that without Him there is nothing we can do for ourselves. "I waited patiently till dawn, but like a lion he broke all my bones; day and night you made an end of me." (Isaiah 38:13).

The Lord brings us to the end of ourselves to give us a new life, hope and a future. He takes us to a height which is far beyond what we can ever imagine for ourselves. If you are experiencing night at this very point in time keep your hope and faith alive in God according to His promises for you. A new dawn is almost here. Just like a dream the Israelites were delivered from their land of slavery at dawn. Similarly, at dawn Joseph became a prime minister of Egypt right from the prison in fulfillment to God's word. Yours will not be an exception.

WORD FOR TODAY
You need not to worry over any situation you cannot change by your strength. Cheerfulness is required for hope and faith that works out victory in every battle of life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me." (Acts 27:25 KJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You must believe God to win various battle of life. The world we are in, is full of several challenges. A man who wakes up in the morning does not know what will become of him before the evening.

The message coming to you today is that; whatever your lot may appear to be in the land of the living, be of good cheer. No matter how terrible you might think your situation is, it is not new and the Lord has provided a solution for it already in His word.

Acquaint yourself to the word of God and be mindful of His promises over your life as you proceed on the pathway of destiny. Make it your confidence in every life's situation and your heart desire will be met.

Focus: The good Act of Desperation

WORD FOR TODAY
Not all act of desperation is evil. However, every man is expected to be desperate when it comes to finding God and pursuing his dreams according to the will of God for him!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying." (Mark 2:4 NJKV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The friends of the paralytic man displayed an act of desperation while ensuring that their friend gets to Jesus to be healed of his paralysis. The Lord saw their act as great faith. The act of desperation that tends towards knowing God, walking and working in obedience to do His good pleasure is a good one.

David was equally known for his desperation towards God. He said "O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you". This is the desperation that we should have for God—a great need or desire for God.

If we don’t feel desperate for God, we don’t tend to cry out to Him. And this leads to spiritual death. Being desperate for more of God should be the cry of every Bible-believing Christian. We should want our cup to overflow with God’s presence and existence, and we should be ever seeking more of Him. Spiritual death comes when we think we have enough of God, when we think our cup is appropriately filled.

WORD FOR TODAY
Every good seed needs darkness and obscurity to grow. No man grows properly in the public!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"HE who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."
(Psalms 91:1 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Lord the creator of the earth has a secret place where no devil can access. Despite the fact that all powers belong to Him; he sometimes appear as if He has no power at all. He is the Lord whose might is unsearchable.

Despite the mandate of God over Moses; he was hidden for some time from the king of Egypt. He did not grow up as an Israelite but rather an Egyptian just to save the mandate of God in His life.

Similarly, the Lord Jesus was taken far away from King Herod until his death despite being the Saviour of the world. When He manifested Himself at age 12; the people and the teacher of law could sense the grace of the Father in His life. However, he went on hibernation for a period of another 18 years after which He manifested Himself again. In most miracles He performed, He tried to hide His identity. His lifestyle was deliberate so that it could be a model to us.

In the exhibition of spiritual activities like prayer, fasting, giving and the likes; Jesus taught us to do it more in the secret. Empty barrel they say makes the loudest noise.

It is a pity that the entire life of some men is on the social media. People around them can give an account of every progress they are making. Not everyone is happy with your progress you must be very careful. Those who notice your progress will not be ignorant of your fall. Allow God to magnify Himself in your life.

WORD FOR TODAY
No marriage works by chance but by choice. Every marriage that works is made to work through conscious and deliberate obedience to God's principle!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
""His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you"" (John 2:5 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is an underlying principle of God that defines and makes a successful marriage. It is not a function of faith, believe, religion, knowledge in the word of God or by how much you can pray but conscious obedience to God's principle for a successful marriage.

There are some unbelievers around us who are enjoying their marriage blissfully not because of the knowledge they have about God but the fact that they either consciously or unconsciously follow the principle laid down by God.

Even when your marriage appears to be wrong the fact still remains that you are married already; you can correct every lapses by following God's principles. Every marriage starts on a very good note, but challenges set in along the line. When this happens you must submit to do whatever God tells you.

His principle is revealed to us as follow:
1. God hates divorce be it physically or logically (Mal 2:16)
2. Husbands must love their wives the way Christ love the church
3. Wives must submit to their husbands irrespective of who they are and their status (Eph 5:25).

Irrespective of your experience in marriage; you will be only on the safe side when you do what the Lord tells you.

Focus: Prequisite for True Prosperity and Long Life

WORD FOR TODAY
If you want to live long and truly succeed in any facet of life; you must be patient. If you must enjoy true riches and prosperity you must patiently wait upon the Lord to be blessed of Him!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
" The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it." (Proverb.10:22 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sudden riches most of the time leads to sudden death. The fact that an outstanding miracle can shoot a man from grass to grace does not repeal the fact that there is no magic as far as growth is concerned. There is no man who is truly rich of the Lord without a definite growth history. Every true great man passes through the phase of character development.

God in His mercy revealed his way to us as men through the manner a plant yields its fruit and how a man is born into the world; it is not without a developmental process. David was anointed to be king after God rejected King Saul but he didn't ascend the throne immediately because God needed to use various situation of life to prepare him for Kingship. He waited patiently for several years until they came for Him (2 Sam 5) and He reigned for 40 years (1King 2).

The likes of Daniel, Joseph, Elisha were patient but Gehazi was not. Your time will come. The promises of the Lord and your aspiration will surely come to pass but be patient enough and give it time to come to fulfillment in God's own time. Submit yourself to God's developmental plan to make you who He wants you to be.

WORD FOR TODAY
Life is not all about getting results alone but also getting things done in the right way. The fact that you are getting results in various aspect of life doesn't mean you are correct or that God is happy with you!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank." (Numbers 20:11 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the passage above, Moses was able to bring water for the people of God but the manner he got the result was in absolute disobedience to God's word; this singular act cost him access to the promised land. The world we are in today is result oriented.

To be relevant in every domain of your placement be it in academics, ministry, marriage and business you must produce results. Hence, all men go on in life having the intense desire of getting results. However, many people don't mind doing anything, even if it means sinning against God to get the desired results.

The Lord is very interested in your obedience to Him than the results you achieve in every aspect of life. Walk in the path of righteousness in every bid to succeed in your endeavours.

There is no man who exalts himself that will not end in disgrace. In every situation of life allow God to exalt you!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, "I will be king"; and he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. "(1Kings 1:5 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Prince Adonijah exalted himself to succeed King David without the approval of God, his father the King and the people that matters as far as becoming King in the land of Israel was concerned. He found his way into the hearts of some set of people he thought would assist Him to become King but at the end He failed.

No matter how smart a man thinks he is, he cannot outrun God or make himself to be what is not in His plans for him. True exaltation comes from God alone. It is always very expensive to win the approval of men when God did not win their hearts for you. The moment God in His infinite mercy prompt men to support you that is when your greatness is guaranteed.

Do not buy your way through when it comes to any issues of importance in your life. Don't manipulate anyone in whatever way to marry you; let God work it out for you in his way. Issues that has to do with getting certificates, job, promotion, placement, contract, position and the likes are not left out; allow God to work it out for you so as to have peace and prosperity.

************************************
Scriptural Reference
""Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." (Hebrews 13:8 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Lord who took care of you and brought you this far is still the same. From the history of your life; you must have been sick, been in need, jilted, been at loss and even in terrible situation of life. However, here you are today. The whole thing is now a story for God's glory because you scaled through.

You witnessed this day because there is a tomorrow and that your life is a work in progress in the hands of God.

If your past seems to be bitter and your today seems hopeless; don't forget that the God who helped you scale through the hurdles of the past remains the same and holds your future.

************************************
Scriptural Reference
"He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God has a calendar for every purpose on earth. Perfect time can only be found in His calendar. In every quest for your needs in the land of the living do not observe the calendar of men with respect to your age, location, achievement, class and level of operation.

It is not of man to always wait for the perfect time in every situation of life but he should rather wait for God who makes everything beautiful at its time. Do not fret yourself when it looks as if there is no ray of hope as far as what you are trusting God for is concerned. It will happen at the perfect time when the glory involved will be exclusive to God alone.

Be mindful of the fact that God does not go back on His word; whatever He says He will surely do but at the perfect time. Also, every promises of God has a premise; obey and believe the word of God peculiar to your life and remain in the premise of His promises for your life.

WORD FOR TODAY
Unforgiveness is an unpardonable offence before God. Only the merciful will receive mercy from God!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. (Matthew 6:14-15 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of those things we cannot but experience in the land of the living is that we will be offended and also offend others. Irrespective of what any man do to offend you; try as much as possible to forgive such.

Forgiveness is an important prerequisite if your prayers will be answered. It is a very serious issue before God to the extent that whatever you offer in the presence of unforgiveness is unacceptable before Him.

As far as God is concerned, there is no sin too big that is not pardonable and there is no man who is not an offender before Him.

No matter how holy or righteous you think you are, the fact still remains that you will need the mercy of God to make Heaven because the righteousness of a man is regarded as filthy rag before Him and what qualifies a man to receive His mercy is that he is also merciful enough to forgive those who offended him.

Marriage provides a suitable platform to validate your spiritual growth using the fruit of the spirit as a useful benchmark!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." (Galatian 5:22-23 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marriage is the only platform that gives room to absolute unclothedness. It is an eye opener. No matter how wonderful a man appears to be, he has no hiding place in marriage as a child of God. His real attribute will only be revealed in marriage. Therefore, a man is not known until there is an access to his unclothedness.

When you come into a deep knowledge of who your partner is, it is time to reveal the true nature of God. Many come into marriage thinking they will be served in terms of their needs but in the actual sense marriage bring men into an era of greater responsibility. The responsibility to be more loving, living joyfully and peaceably.

When a man comes into a marriage, he will at every time as long as he lives be subjected to the test of love, peace, joy, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. More of these will be required of you when you marry. Your faith is not established until you have come to know and become very sure that you did not fail in these things in marriage.

Allow the Holy Spirit to find expression in your life. You can't afford to be a failure in destiny. Humble yourself and acknowledge God to help you to be a fulfillment in every facet of life.
