Focus: When a man is not Humble

WORD FOR TODAY
A man is on his way down in every aspect of life each time he fails to humble himself. There is no man who exhibits pride that does not lose relevance!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"When swelling and pride come, then emptiness and shame come also, but with the humble (those who are lowly, who have been pruned or chiseled by trial, and renounce self) are skillful and godly Wisdom and soundness." (Proverb 11:2 AMP)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Satan was an angel of light until he exhibited pride. This made him to lose his place in God's presence. Each time you exhibit pride you will surely lose your place and your relevance will become a mirage. Queen Vashti could not believe what befell her when she exhibited pride; the aftermath of her action was that she fell from grace to disgrace, from honour to dishonour, from appointment to disappointment.

This treatment awaits all men who fail to remember that they are nothing but for the grace of God. When people are holding you to a very high esteem and everything looks as if you are relevant, don't allow it to get into your head that you are something but learn how to stoop low and acknowledge God the giver of Grace by being humble.

Men will not but always put their force at best to be against you whenever they discover that you are exhibiting pride. All men will be ready to help and support you whenever their perception about you is humility. When a man is not humble he falls short of mercy and favour before both God and man!!!

Focus: Remember who you used to be

WORD FOR TODAY
Remembering who you used to be will always guide your feet and preserve you from falling. The fact that several changes has taken place does not change the fact that it was God who made grace available!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day."
(Deuteronomy 5:15 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Moses reminded the Israelites that they used to be slaves as they were about to enter into the promised land. God wants them to always remember their time of misery to provide a check and balance against excesses in the time of comfort. As you increase in every facet of life don't forget where you are coming from.

A man of God was to preach in a convention, but the General Overseer of the church changed him for another man without prior notice. This was so grievous to him and his wife that they began to contemplate leaving the church. However, when he entered his prayer room; he saw the cloth he used to wear when he was pushing truck as livelihood in the village. This reminded him of the fact that he was a nobody in the first place and that it was the grace of God that made him what he is.

As the Lord will keep blessing you and changing your status; don't forget who you used to be; humble yourself always.

Focus: The Common Factor for All Men

WORD FOR TODAY
God is the ultimate and common factor for all creations. Irrespective of who you are and the resources at your disposal the fact still remains that God will continue to be God and you will continue to be a man with several limitations!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"The rich and the poor have this in common, The LORD is the maker of them all." (Proverb 22:2 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God is the only common factor to all men. There is no level achievement or height you will attain in life that you will not need God. Every man created by God is actually a needy, what differs among men is our needs. I have come to see in practical terms that to whom much is given much is expected. This concept placed all men irrespective of the resource at their disposal on equal level in life and before God.

A man who has $200, 000 will be faced with a need of $1,000,000 so also the man who has $200 will be faced with a need of $1,000. The headache of the man who have more will be more than the one who has little. However, both have ended up having similar ratio.

There is no man who has everything and no man actually have enough except those who find contentment in God. Hence, the beauty of life is to find God in everything. Until you find God your existence will be meaningless!

Question For Meditation:
+ Have you seen a man who is self sufficient? Have you found God?

Prayer Point:
Lord! I worship you for who you are and what you have done in my life; continue to stand by my side to bring your words to pass in Jesus. Amen!!!

Main Emphasis:
Whatever you feel, God is fair to all and we must acknowledge Him as God in all situation!!!

Have a Superb Friday!!!

Focus: The Desire for God's Blessing

WORD FOR TODAY
Every man will not but come to a point where he will desire no other thing except the blessing of God. You will not have a sense of fulfillment in whatever you do in the journey of destiny until you are blessed of the Lord!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And He said, "Let Me go, for the day breaks." But he said, "I will not let You go unless You bless me"
(Genesis 32:26 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If God has not blessed you, you are not blessed. There are several men who have influence, connection and wonderful possessions of life but are not fulfilled; some among these people go to the extent of committing suicide when it dawn on them that they can't go on in life despite all they think they have.

Jacob came to a point in destiny where he knew he could not go further unless he is blessed of the Lord. At that point the birthright he unlawfully got from Esau, the wives, livestocks and material possessions he got from Laban household became irrelevant to him. He needed the blessing of God as he prepared to advance into his rest and possess the name of God to himself.

A day is coming when you will meet God and you will need his blessing to enter into your rest. You must ensure that you do not fall short of God's approval and mercy as you advance in the journey of destiny!

Focus: Make a Good Name

WORD FOR TODAY
Your name represents a legacy, a good name signifies a good legacy. You have not achieved something of great value that will benefit the future until you make a good name for yourself!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Choose a good reputation over great riches, for being held in high esteem is better than having silver or gold." (Proverb 22:1NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
King Solomon, one of the wisest man that ever lived, said a good name is better than great riches. Unfortunately, people in various facet of life are careless about their names and sacrifice it for riches on the altar of greed and unrighteousness. There are several men who are like Esau who said "What is birthright to me?", "What is good name to them compared to the temporary unrighteous benefit?"

When you don't have a good name you have no glory? You are more or less like a cancer to any organization? No matter how glorious your life appears to be, you will become an Ichabod when you destroy the good name you have on the altar of selfishness, greed and unrighteousness.

A man who heads a company, business, church, organization and makes it become ruined will never be forgotten. The worst part is that history will never forget him. Wherever you go or find yourself, be mindful of the fact that you have a name. Your recommendation is at stake and your name will be a reference point for an attitude put in place. Protect your name: think before you act; submit to God's will at every point in time!
_______________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ Do you have a good name?

Prayer Point:
Lord! I will not sin against you, my glory will not turn to shame in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Each time you give space for sin, it makes your name a reproach!

Focus: Valuable Than Many Sparrows

WORD FOR TODAY
The Lord knows about everything happening to your life. He cares so much about every minute detail of your life even the numbers of your hair!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows." (Luke 12:6-7 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Irrespective of your experience in life the fact still remains that God knows about what you've been through, what you are passing through and what you will pass through. Therefore, you are not expected to live your life in isolation to God your creator who works everything in your life to fulfill His purpose.

No matter what happens to you in any facet of life, be mindful of the fact that it does not happen without the approval of God and that there is something God wants to achieve with it. Hence, you don't need to run helter skelter in search for solution but to go to God and submit to His counsel over the prevailing issues in your life! If God takes note of the falling of a sparrow, His eyes is watching over you; death can't just take you away and the evil one cannot just take pre-eminence over you; because He cares for you!
_______________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ How valuable do you think you are before God?

Focus: Obedience the only Antidote Against Error

WORD FOR TODAY
The consistency of a man walking on the pathway of disobedience will consistently increase the error that will lead to his destruction!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the LORD." (Jonah 1:3 NIV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Error at any level of life is caused by disobedience to any laid down or established law or principle. Disobedience is fundamental to most problems in life. It is the most important attribute the evil one needs to perform his enterprise in a man's life. Don't bother to offer any sacrifice if you have not obeyed God.

The evil spirit which lures a man into making various mistakes will begin to have the space to thrive each time a man considers taking a path contrary to God's will for him. In our text, we saw Prophet Jonah going away from God's presence in disobedience to His word. We all know the aftermath of His disobedience.

Ships will always be available to take you away from the perfect plan of God. Don't be eaten up by the support around your life despite your disobedience. Don't be ignorant of the fact that we have more people living in disobedience to God's word. Happy are you if you are not always trying to shut down the still small voice speaking to you to turn to the direction of obedience to God.
_______________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ Are you living in obedience?

Prayer Point:
Lord! Quicken my heart to live in absolute obedience to your words in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Main Emphasis:
The most important sacrifice against error, failure and disappointment is obedience to God's word!!!

Focus: The Best Gift of Life

WORD FOR TODAY
Nothing can be better than what God has given you. Seeking an alternative is a way to bring troubles into your life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning." (James 1:17 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The best gift of your life is what the Lord has given you. It begins with how you were created. The Lord created you perfectly; in terms of your height, voice, sex, skin colour and body shape. Your uniqueness among God's creation absolutely depends on these attributes.

Another important gift of God for your life is your wife/husband - your covenant life partner(Prov 18:22). The orientation the Lord expects you to have about your partner is that he/she is the best among all other creation irrespective of the qualities or shortcomings in his/her life. God unlike men does not make mistakes; there is no variableness in Him. If He was the one who issued the gift to you; you have gotten the best. Therefore, stop looking for trouble, settle down and enjoy your lot in the land of the living (Eccl 9:9).

Children are also among the special gift of God. They don't come by human effort; some who are highly influential don't have this gift. Irrespective of how they may appear to be; cherish this wonderful gift of God in your life. They are created to fit uniquely into God's purpose. Never settle down for what does not come from God but be industrious to have what He will give you per time.
_______________________________
Question For Meditation:

Focus: What is Life?

WORD FOR TODAY
Understanding the meaning of life is critical to what you will get out of it. When you don't give life a proper meaning you will live anyhow - Odelami Philip!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away." (James 4:13-14)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You cannot approach life than the understanding you have about it. Hence, the way you live depicts what you know about life. However, life is a God given gift for a purpose. This you must know if you must live a purposeful life. Whatever you feel about what life is, the fact still remains that:
✴️Life is single: You will only live once Heb 9:27.
✴️Life is short: No matter how long you have lived each time you look at the past, it will always be like yesterday Job 14:1.
✴️Life is in stages, every man departs the stage at the expiration of his time
✴️Life is a gift
✴️Life is a game: you will only win when you play by the rules. However, you must never gamble with your life.
✴️Life is a race. It is an exclusive race which must be won Heb 12:1.
✴️Life is given to prepare for eternity.

Life will not be meaningful to a man until He finds God and live according to His purpose!

Focus: You will be rewarded

WORD FOR TODAY
No matter how long it takes, the reward of your deeds will surely be presented to you. Whenever it seems it seems as if you don't get the reward of your deeds be mindful of the fact that it is with God the righteous judge who will give to every man according to his works!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work." (Revelation 22:12 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of the important attribute of God that we must always be mindful of is the that He rewards the deeds of men. He rewards both good and bad deeds. Hence, irrespective of the reason behind your deeds towards men it does not change the fact that you will reap whatever you sow!

His verdict for those who are wicked for any reason is that they will know no peace; not even in the atmosphere of seeking vengeance because God says "vengeance is Mine!" Do not be deceived; God cannot be mocked! He will give unto every man according to his deeds.

Do not take the grace of God for granted when it seems as if you are getting away with evil deeds: it is not the case that you are smart but God is making an allowance for repentance to save you from disgrace and shame. Also, do not be discourage when it seems as if your righteous deeds yields no rewards; you will be rewarded in due season at God's beautiful time!

Focus: God's Testimony

WORD FOR TODAY
The way we live our lives with respect to our priorities, desire, faithfulness, commitment, disposition and attitude to things is a build up to our testimony before God and man. God has something to say about how you have lived and the best you can do!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, "I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.'" (Acts 13:22 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God rejected King Saul because He discovered from his attitude that he will not do His will. For David, He said: "I have found a man after my own heart". After critical study of the life of David God concluded that He will do His will. The way God observed the life of David so also He is observing us. He knows if truly we will do His will or not.

He has tested us many times and He knows what we are capable of doing and what He can place in our hands. There is a need for every one of us to sit down to evaluate our lives to check if God can really count on us; if He sees us as faithful and committed to His will.

Every man at the end of this life needs God's testimony before he can enter his rest in eternity. To some on that day He will say: "I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity (Matt 7.23 KJV) and to others He will say: "Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.' (Matt.25:21)

Focus: Overcoming the Works of Darkness

WORD FOR TODAY
Darkness respects no other thing but light. The only way to put off the works of darkness is to shine as light!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you." (Isaiah 60:1 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man who has submitted his life to God through Christ Jesus bears the glory of God. This glory will not manifest until he shines as light. Darkness is every where and will dominate without the permission of any man in every domain. The only time it will not manifest is when there is light.

In the beginning, nothing was done to the situation of the earth until there was light. In like manner, for your ministry, marriage, career, academics, business and other aspect to work according to the plan and purpose of God darkness must be under subjection.

For darkness to be under subjection you must at every point in time arise and shine as light to provide an allowance for the manifestation of God's glory. God will not manifest His glory until we play our part to shine as light in every domain of life.

Shining as light means walking in righteousness, holiness and purity to manifest the attribute of God. In overcoming the works of darkness shining as light precedes prayer and fasting. When your ways are right with God that is the only time you are fit for spiritual battle.
____________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ Are you a light?

Prayer Point
Lord! Help to shine as light; strengthen me to illuminate my world to put an end to the works of darkness in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Focus: A work well done

WORD FOR TODAY
A work well done gives birth to more work and the reward to every work well done is more work. No generation ignores excellence!!!
************************************
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)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The way you do your own things will go a long way to determine how relevant you will continue to be in every area of your placement. Whatever your hand finds to do; do it very well with all your might because there is an end (grave) to everything a man does on earth . This is the message of the preacher to you (Eccl 9:10).

A job well done will attract more work; be it spiritually or physically. In the parable of the talent; the Lord Jesus made it very clear to us that God commends diligence and detests indolence. He assignment the faithful, committed and productive servants. He keeps them to Himself for more assignment and sends the unprofitable servant away.

The Lord will never commit anything serious into your hands when you are not diligently committed to the assignment He placed in your care. The man who recommended David to king Saul, when he was being tormented by evil spirit, must have seen him skillfully playing an instrument among ordinary men. He was recommended because he did it well.

Every work well done will definitely increase your capacity and your inspiration. More grace will also be made available to you. Try as much as possible to give your best in everything the Lord has placed in your hands. Develop yourself even as you strive for excellence in every aspect of your placement in life!

WORD FOR TODAY
The fact that we see people most especially our loved ones dying at a point in time signifies that we do not truly belong here. We are but a stranger here, heaven is our home!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.
(Philippians 3.20-21 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Life is given to prepare us for eternity. We are created to fulfill God's purpose. Hence, every man should be ready to go after the purpose is filled. Do not be too attached to the earth because you don't belong here. The fact that God is your creator, Heaven is your Home!

Earth is a desert drear; Heaven is our home. When danger and sorrow stand round you on every hand and the tempest rage, wild wintry blast; do not forget that soon they shall be overpast because short is your pilgrimage, You shall reach home at last, Heaven is your fatherland, Heaven is your home.

There at our Saviour's side, we shall be glorified, we shall rest together with those who had gone before us. Therefore, we need not to murmur; whatever our earthly lot may be, travel on with patience having the assurance that we shall surely stand at the Lord's right hand: Heaven is our fatherland, Heaven is our home.

Focus: Death is the Ultimate For All Things

WORD FOR TODAY
Life gives us the opportunity to live just once. No matter the length of years we live, death is the ultimate for all things!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment," (Hebrew 9:27 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Death marks the end of every process that involves men in the land of the living. It is a divine curse upon all man and must surely be fulfilled. After few years of sojourn on earth, spent toiling day and night; in sickness and in feebleness, death will come.

The pattern of our lives day by day is characterized by joy in the day and sorrow at night; sometimes we live in plenty and in want; the end will come in death. However, death is not an issue for those who died in Christ our saviour; they die unto adversity and resurrect in glory.

Death is the way to eternity, for those who received Christ; no man will live forever on this earth with all its restlessness. You must allow Jesus to be your saviour to live His life in you so as to be free from second death!

Focus: When Will You Return?

WORD FOR TODAY
All men created by God will surely die and return to give an account of their deeds to the creator. Wise men live their entire life with the consciousness of eternity having God in view!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then the king said to me (the queen also sitting beside him), "How long will your journey be? And when will you return?" So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time." (Nehemiah 2:6 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every man who is on a journey will have a feeling of returning home. What is happening around us provides undisputable evidence that we will all surely die and become like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again (2 Sam 14:14)

In the manner it was announced that a child is born so also it will be announced that he/she dies. Bringing this to our knowledge at this time is not to make us sad but to remind us how fleeting our days is in the land of the living. Jesus said: "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."
(Matt.8.20).

He also emphases the urgency of doing the work of the father when there is still opportunity. A man will be deceiving himself thinking he will forever be with his children, live in his house, occupy the position of authority, be in charge of what he has labour for years. Hence, you also be mindful of the fact that you will return. Remember your Creator in the days of your opportunities.

WORD FOR TODAY
Your relationship with God and men as well as the level of your willingness in various aspect of life defines your personality. Whatever the case is with your life the fact still remains that God ordained you to fulfill a unique purpose!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations." (Jeremiah 1:5 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God has been thinking about you even before you were born. His decision concerning your life gave you your parent, tribe, language, race, origin, height, sex, skin, age and your destiny. He ordained you to fulfill a definite purpose. That is why you are unique in different aspect of life. However, what you will turn out to be depends on how you cooperate with God to be who you should by His own standard!

Who you are depends on the following:
✳️ How you rise each time you fall
✳️Your Faith
✳️Your purpose in destiny
✳️Your disposition to God's word
✳️Your disposition to those in need
✳️ How you treat people

Focus: When the Lord Fights your Battles

WORD FOR TODAY
The victory of a man is only complete when the Lord fights his battle. Whenever you have victory under the arm of the Almighty God, it is not a time to merry but a time to reverence God with a godly fear and worship Him!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Thus Israel saw the great work which the LORD had done in Egypt; so the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD and His servant Moses." (Exodus 14:31NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Egyptians continued to oppress the Israelites until the Lord fought for them. But when they saw the power of God over the Egyptians pursuing to destroy them they worshipped God for who He is and for His greatness.

They knew by experience what God can do and the reality of His power and existence. It is possible there are some of them who were following because their elders motivated them but now before their very eyes they saw the wonders of God.

If you are the one fighting your battle, total victory is not assured because you are subjected to various limitations as human. The fact that most of the battle that confront us is beyond us makes it very important for us to submit to God and allow Him to help us in confronting various battles of life. Whenever God fights your battles do not forget to remain humble in adoration of who He is and be mindful of the fact that the God who is loving can as well be a consuming fire!!!

Focus: Faithful is He that Promised

WORD FOR TODAY
You must never give up on what God has said concerning your life. God is faithful and He can be trusted to keep his promise!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Without wavering, let us hold tightly to the hope we say we have, for God can be trusted to keep his promise." (Hebrew 10:23 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of those things the devil wants to achieve in your life is that you should not give up on what God said and there about become unfaithful to Him. As far as God's promises is concerned; the manner he dealt with the people of old establishes the fact that He is faithful. He has never gone back on His word neither will He now; not even when the earth and heaven pass away.

When Joseph dreamt, it looked like a tale but God meant it. At a point, it looked as if it will never come to reality but it happened because the Lord said it. When Sarah was told what God wanted to do in her life she laughed; but like play it came to pass. God instructed Samuel to anoint David and He went back into the wilderness after He was anointed, it is just as if the word of the Lord will not be fulfilled but it did at the end.

The lives of these men proved the faithfulness of God. Even now He remains the same. However, these men on their own part were faithful to God and He did not allow His word to fail in their lives. You also must be faithful and cooperate with God to do His good pleasure in your life

Focus: The Mark of Christ

WORD FOR TODAY
The mark of Christ is the identity of a crucified life. Sin, worldliness and every agent of darkness will keep troubling you until you bear the mark of Christ!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus." (Galatians 6:17 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The plan of God for all believers is that we should live a crucified life. Majority of the problems we have in life be it in our marriages, ministry, business, career, academics and all aspect of life were born out of our inability to live a crucified life. The life of all men who fail to allow Christ to live His life in them will be characterized by several troubles.

Apostle Paul came to point where he said: "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." (Gal 2:20). Each time we live our own life by ourselves at best we manifest the works of the flesh which are primary source of all life's troubles.

You do not belong to God because of your name, language, church, title, and the spiritual activities you engage in; but Christ through the Holy Spirit finds expression in your life. Until you bear the mark of Christ by living a crucified life you will remain a weakling in the face of sin, satan and worldliness.

Focus: There is no Secret

WORD FOR TODAY
It is an outright act of self-deception for a man to think that some things he has done which appear unknown to some people will forever remain a secret. In every thing you do; be mindful of the fact that Jesus said: "every secret will be made know"!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light."
(Luke 8:17 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whatever you do which appears hidden will not remain secret forever. Be mindful of the fact that the Lord is not ignorant of your deepest secret and at the appropriate time He will bring it to light. Hence, wisdom demands that you put your hands only in what will favour you and bring glory to God when brought to lime light.

Moses killed an Egyptian and covered it in the earth thinking that no one knew about it until he was told what he did (Exo 2). King David brilliantly and technically executed Uriah in a bid to clean up the mess of the adultery he committed with Bathsheba but God exposed him and we are reading about his evil act today (2 Sam 12).

Do not take the grace of the Lord in your life for granted; seek to always get it right with God whether in public or in the secret. Be mindful of the fact that God does not overlook even the good work done in the secret; so also, covered sin! The life you live in the secret determines if your life will end in shame or in Glory!!!
___________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ What does your secret represent: shame or glory?

Prayer Point
Lord! As I increase I will not sin against you and my glory will not turn to shame in Jesus name. Amen

Main Emphasis
The life you live in the secret signifies if you will end in glory or shame!!!

Focus: Who Commands your Destiny?

WORD FOR TODAY
The one you yield yourself to listen and obey is the one who commands your destiny. Your lifestyle in all domain of life is the picture which depicts the works of the one who commands your destiny!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?" (Romans 6:16 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is no free ranger in the journey; the life of every man is ruled by either the sinful nature or the holy spirit. The life you live is the most important pointer of who truly commands your destiny. The same will also determine your final destination when this life is over.

When the life of a man is characterized by adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, unforgiveness there is no doubt in the fact that the sinful nature commands his destiny. You cannot obey God and manifest these attributes.

When Jesus through the Holy Spirit commands your destiny your life will be characterized by love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. He will influence you to do the will of God and your life will be characterized by the attributes of Christ Jesus!

Question For Meditation:
+ Who commands your destiny?

Focus: Free to Serve God

WORD FOR TODAY
You are not free to serve God until you stop living for yourself and live to fulfill the will of God. Serving God means seeking to do His will in everything you do!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (2 Corinthians 5:15 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are not serving God because you bear a christian name, sing, dance, lifting of hands and engaging in spiritual activites but doing things the way God will want you to do it. You will never be free to please God at any level of life if self (the sinful nature) is placed under subjection.

In everything you do, you must be mindful of this very fact: "if you must live you must not live for yourself" you must not pursue your own evil desire but the will of God. Whatever you do you must seek to see that God alone is glorified; this is true worship.

The world will be a very beautiful place if all men will only pursue one goal which is to see that the will of God is established in every domain of life. A worship that is acceptable is that which is devoid of the works of the flesh. Denying yourself and taking up your cross on daily basis is the ultimate step to becoming free to serve God.
___________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ Are you really free to serve God?

Prayer Point
Lord! Help me to live for you; help me to fulfill your purpose in all I do in Jesus name. Amen

Focus: All Prodigal Sons are the Same

WORD FOR TODAY
Wasting divine resources is a peculiar attribute of all prodigal sons. You become a prodigal son each time you go on your own way to squander the gift of God in your life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living." (Luke.15:13 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is no man who receives something except it is given to him by God. There is nothing you have that is not given to you. Hence, it is wrong and an act of arrogance for a man to say: "I achieved what I achieved by my strength and effort" The grace you have received from God in whatever form is meant to help you serve God and fulfill your mandate.

A prodigal son is identified when:
✳️ A man uses the gift of God to promote lust, pride of life and selfish interest.
✳️ A man lives like an unbeliever after several investments of God in his life.
✳️ the work placed in the hands of a man in the position of authority becomes miserable and degenerates under his watch.
✳️ A man feeds the people of God brought to him with junks with the aim of exploiting their ignorance.

The way forward for every prodigal son is to return to the father and submit to His will. If your existence in any domain of life will count in God's presence you must return to that very point you missed it as far as God's will is concerned for your life!
___________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ Are you a Prodigal Son?

Prayer Point
Lord! May I never go away from you; call me to order each time am going astray in Jesus name. Amen

Focus: Finding Forgiveness

WORD FOR TODAY
No matter how terrible the sin of a man is, there is a provision of forgiveness in the Lord. Irrespective of the gravity of your sin and the guilt in your heart, be rest assured that God is faithful and just enough to forgive your sins if you truly turn to Him!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1John 1:9 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God is not a man; when God forgives a man, He truly forgives and remembers his iniquity no more!
By the virtue of the work of the cross; there is forgiveness for every man who turns to God. Each time a man sins; he is required to be just by admitting the fact that he sinned and turning to God for the forgiveness of life.

The first step to finding forgiveness of your sins is to admit that you have sinned and that you are a weak man who really needs help with all sincerity. After which you are required to change your direction; i.e. coming to the Lord for the remission of your sins.

Prodigal son after wasting the resources he collected from his father still found mercy from Him when he turns back to Him. Don't be ever tempted to go away from the will of God because the words of the evil one which whisper into your heart that: "With what you just did God can never forgive" That is a lie from the evil one. In every situation do not go away from the Lord remember the word of the Psalmist which says: The LORD has chastened me severely, But He has not given me over to death. (Ps.118:18 NKJV).

Focus: Pre-requisite for Exaltation

WORD FOR TODAY
Righteousness is the most important prequisite for exaltation in every facet of life. Irrespective of the height you attain in life you are not exalted until the Lord exalts you!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy." (Hebrew 1:9 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each time the Lord exalts a man He anoints him above his companions. The standard measure the Lord uses to exalt his people is righteousness. He didn't bring down the standard for His begotten neither will He for any man He created. Jesus met this requirement to be the author of our salvation.

For any man who so desires to be great under God, righteousness is a must. You will be deceiving yourself if you continue to live unrighteously and still expect God to lift you up. Your victory, achievements and attainment is a fluke if it does not take its source from righteousness. You will only have sense of fulfillment when your achievements is devoid of guilty conscience.

Any where righteousness is not a prequisite for exaltation such domain will be characterized by reproach. As a child of God, your first achievement if you must be great under God in whatever you do and wherever you find yourself is righteousness. You will only achieve righteousness when you allow God to find expression in your life.

Focus: A Living Faith

WORD FOR TODAY
A living faith is the faith that is kept alive irrespective of the prevailing situation at hand. The power of God becomes inactive in the life of a man the moment his faith dies!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him." (Hebrew 10:38 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The battle you will not but face as you advance in the journey of destiny is the battle to keep your faith alive. In any situation of life you have not been defeated if you still hold on to what God said and you have not rejected His counsel for your life.

A living faith is a faith that will not shrink though pressed by many foes and that will not tremble on the brink
of poverty or woes. It is a faith that will not murmur nor complain in the midst of various challenges of life and in every occasion of chastening rod of the Lord. A faith that leans upon God in the hour of grief or pain.

You must have a faith that shines more bright and clear, when tempest rage within and without. A faith that does not fear danger or have a feeling of doubt in the hour of darkness. Do not forget that as a believer the only means of survival you have in every situation of life is to live by faith.

Focus: Looking Unto God

WORD FOR TODAY
All men whom God helped in the journey of destiny were not ashamed. Irrespective of the strength you think you have, you must never fail to seek the Lord for help if you must not be ashamed!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed." (Psalm 34:5 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are men who have strength, expertise, influence and power but that which they have did not save them from disgrace. We can remember the likes of Goliath and Pharaoh who appeared to be powerful but the fact that they failed to acknowledge God they ended up in disgrace.

Also, the life of the likes of Jabez, David, Hannah and others in their weakness called upon the Lord and found strength in Him to overcome what should have put them to shame.

You don't need to fret yourself each time it seems as if you have no strength in the face of situation that wants to disgrace you. The people of old who looked to God were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed. This is also applicable to your life; look up to God in all situation of life and you will not be ashamed.

Focus: Do The Bit You Can

WORD FOR TODAY
In every domain of placement, a man can only do the bit he can within a limited time frame. It is a grievous sin before God, if you fail to do that which your hands find to do with all your might!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom." (Ecclesiastes 9:10 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Life gives every man the opportunity to do the bit he could in every facet of life. The manner we handle the things placed in our hands determine what will be said of us hereafter. As we proceed in destiny we should be mindful of the fact that there will be hereafter.

The life of a man is segmented into different tenure just like we have in the government settings and formal organizations. No man occupies a position forever. Wherever you find yourself you are using your own tenure because there is a grave after every moment of life.

Be mindful of the fact that people will say something about how you lived and your achievements in your time. They will sight the difference between you, your predecessor and successor. Despite the fact that you will only be given the opportunity to contribute a bit in every domain of life; let the bit be your best!

Focus: Not Without Weaknesses

WORD FOR TODAY
There is no man created by God that is without a peculiar weakness. All men who became great in destiny were those who found strength in God to overcome their weaknesses!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." (2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every man has a weakness. Those who failed in destiny were people who were overshadowed by their weakness. Hence, one of the most important responsibility of a man as he proceeds in destiny is to make conscious effort through the help of God to overcome his weaknesses. The weakness you fail to confront will weaken you and make you fragile in every domain of placement.

The likes of Abraham, David, Moses, Isaac and Jacob were people with serious and obvious weaknesses but they found help in God to be who they became and God is not ashamed to be called their God.

The first step in overcoming your weaknesses is to identify and accept the fact that you have a weakness. You must admit the fact that you need help each time your weaknesses manifest. You must never forget, that the grace of God is available and that it is sufficient to make you strong.
___________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ What are your weaknessess? What are you doing about them?

Focus: Love as a Measure for Maturity

WORD FOR TODAY
One of the most important parameter used to measure spiritual maturity is love towards God and man. A man is not matured until he understands love and manifests its attributes!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things." (1Corinthians 13:11NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At any point a man chooses not to allow God to find expression in his life his behaviour will be childish. When Jesus was crucified on the cross at calvary He did not forget to make known to the entire human race even in His suffering that He truly loved us; He said "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." (Luke 23:34).

It takes maturity to forgive those who offends you, mature people do not spend their strength to oppress those who appear weaker than them. They don't pay evil with evil but overcome it with good. They are lovers of good things and support righteousness.

Immature people are impatient, wicked, envious, boastful, proud, arrogant, rude, self-seeking, easily angered and keep record of wrongs. They delight in evil and do not stand in truth (1Cor 13:4-. God is love and He remains the benckmark that determines maturity. The attribute of immature people is not that of God. Anyone living such a life have not known God.
___________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ Are you matured?

Prayer Point
Lord! Help me to keep growing into your likeness in Jesus name. Amen

Main Emphasis
When a man is still a child he will still be childish. When he grows in love in the likeness of Christ he becomes matured!!!

Focus: Be Careful

WORD FOR TODAY
No matter how great the plan of God is for your life and the confidence you have in God the fact still remains that you must live your life in absolute carefulness!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:15-16 ESV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is the plan of God that we should be who He wants us to be and also make eternity with Him at the end of days. It is the plan of God that we should live long and see His salvation. However, all these will come to pass if we are careful enough and walk according to the precept of God.

One of the most important qualites that defines a wise man is carefulness. A wise man is careful with his words, actions and how he relates and treat people. They are careful to obey God's instrustion for lives. Every true wise man knows that no matter how the ground on which they stand appear to be it can be slippy at times and that there is no benchmark a great person can attain in life that they can be rest assured that they can never fall.

Even when it seems as if the people around you are loving, it doesn't change the fact that the devil who goes about seeking for whom to devour does not have an agent in human form who will ensure that you fail and fall. The only antidote to this is careful obedience to God's word. The lives of several great people have been cut short not because they are not believers nor have God but they were careless and atimes having confidence in the wisdom of men.
