Focus: The Measure of a Man

WORD FOR TODAY
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and prosperity, but where he stands in times of challenges and controversy. The true picture of who you are is summarised by your attitude under various life's pressure!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small." (Proverb 24:10 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is very easy and normal to claim to have faith and worship God when things are working perfectly for a man. God most of the times doesn't use comfort to validate men He wants to use to fulfill His purpose.

In the actual sense, we cannot really know who a man is and his faith in God until he falls under intense pressure of various battles of life. It became very obvious to God and to all men in all ages that the love the likes of Job, 3 Hebrews and Daniel (Job 1&2, Daniel 3&6) had for God is not rooted in what they have nor the position they occupied but in a sacrificial heart of worship for the God He is. As for them they were strong men who stood in righteousness under great pressure.

When you compromise every moral and Godly standard each time situation of life places you under pressure your strength is small and you are likely not to do great exploit for God in your pilgrimage. The only way to stand under any pressure is to yield yourself in absolute obedience to God's word!

+ What is the measure of your strength under God?

Prayer Point
Lord! Strengthen me to always yield to your word in all situation of life in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Main Emphasis
Your strength is small each time you fail to yield to God's word under pressure!!!

Have a providential Thursday!!!

Focus: I will Help You

WORD FOR TODAY
Each time the Lord focuses on a man He sees him as one without a backbone and a man who needs help. In every situation of life be ever mindful of the fact that the Lord is willing to help you!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Fear not, you worm Jacob, You men of Israel! I will help you," says the LORD And your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel." (Isaiah 41:14 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Lord called the men of Israel worm because He saw them as people who do not have enough strength to defend themselves and can be easily trampled upon by other nations. If the Lord does not stand by them they are good as dead because they have no back bone. However, the Lord offered to help them hence they need not to fear.

If you make critical analysis of your life, you will discover that you are incapacitated in various aspect of life; signifying that you need help. Each time you find yourself in any situation of life don't forget that God is not ignorant of your weakness and He is ever ready to help.

Hence, in the face of various limitation of life and uncertainties associated with all issues of this life; remember God said I will help you. You need not to fear but to present yourself to God the true source of help.

Focus: Who is Enjoying Life?

WORD FOR TODAY
The people who are truly enjoying life are not those who have money, fame, riches, power, influence or material possessions of life but those who find contentment in God to enjoy what God has approved for them, their husbands/wives, their meals and their work!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Anyone who is among the living has hope -even a live dog is better off than a dead lion! (Ecclesiastes 9:4 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many people have desires to be lions in various aspect but end up dying instead of living in fulfilment. They keep running chasing shadows instead of accepting God's offer that gives peace and contentment. To enjoy life under God means:
➡️To enjoy only what God has approved for your life. Living a guilt free life to keep your spiritual garment white in anticipation of a glorious eternity(Eccl 9:.
➡️To live joyfully with the wife/husband given to you by God. Having in mind that your partner is the best to love and cherish (Eccl 9:9)(Prov 5:15). The most miserable of all men on earth were those with a failed marriage.
➡️Eat your meals joyfully in the atmosphere of love without undue reference to what other people are eating. Appreciating God for his provision (Eccl 9:7, Prov 15:17, Prov 17:1).
➡️Doing your work joyfully and passionately (Eccl 9:10). There will always be desire for higher placement; however, the pessimist cannot enjoy life and his emptiness cannot file up in retrospect. Whatever your hands finds to do is the opportunity you cannot find in the grave.
___________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ Are you enjoying life?

Prayer Point
Lord! I receive the grace to always find contentment in all aspect of life in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Main Emphasis
You will only enjoy life when you find contentment through God in everything!!!

Have a Fulfilled Tuesday!!!

Focus: Get Up and Start Again

WORD FOR TODAY
There is no crime in starting again when you hit the botton of life. Sometimes, the downfall of a man is a blessing in diguise!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And he said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD."(Job 1:21NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As you proceed in destiny be ever mindful of the fact that you came naked and that whatever you have is a gift from God. In the case of Job, he did not allow what befell him to affect him; rather, he worshipped God the giver of life and all things.

Sometimes, God in a bid to remind we humans our limitation and the need to absolutely put our trust in Him and how powerless the strength we think we have in various aspect of life is; He allows us to hit the bottom of life. Hence, when you find yourself down in any aspect of life, it is a call to focus on God and trust Him for your life.

A man who thinks he is too big to start again can never rise beyond his fall. Never give up at any point in your life but rather brush away your tears, smile away your pains and trust God to help you to rise again. At whatever stage you find yourself in life do not forget that the glory of the latter house shall be greater than the former!
___________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ Will you rise again? Will you shine again?

Prayer Point
Lord! Strengthen me to rise above all limitations; glorify your name in my life in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Main Emphasis
Every fall paves way for a fresh and glorious start!!!

Have an Outstanding Week Ahead!!!

Focus: Stop Looking Down

WORD FOR TODAY
A man will not but suffer heart break, dispointment that leads to depression when he concentrates more on the things of the earth. The best way to live is to seek the will of God as it is in Heaven!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth." (Colossian 3.1-2)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each time a man looks down; he sees what he can do, what he needs but out of reach, his limitations, those he think can help but do not, lying vanities, impossibilities, strive for what cannot help and frantic race for relevance that don't last. Hence, there is no help looking down and there is no need for you to keep focusing down here so that you will not go down.

We must look up to God in all situation of life; this is where your help will come Ps 121. To look up means to seek the will of God; looking beyond your limitation and what man can do, looking above your present level in anticipation of His best level for you. Trusting in the everlasting arm and keeping faith and hope alive in God with no regard to position, material and human resources at your disposal.

Question For Meditation:

Prayer Point
Lord! Be my hope, light, strength and song through the fiercest drought and storm of life in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Main Emphasis
True exaltation happens when you seek those things which are above!!!

Focus: Wait For Your Change

WORD FOR TODAY
No matter how terrible a situation appears to be; it is still subjected to change under God. The fact that you are still alive indicates that God is not yet through with your life and that you can experience change if you believe and wait for it!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, Till my change comes." (Job 14:14 ESV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This life is characterised by uncertainties and things can turn around unexpectedly. For Job, within few hours a very great tragedy befell him and changed the course of things. One would think that the gravity of what befell him will make him to take his life but he did not. On the contrary, He praised God for the privilege he had as a living soul, who brought nothing to this world, to have the possessions he lost. Not only that, in our text, he affirmed the fact that He will wait till his change comes.

In this life, I have never seen or heard about a man who had the experience of Job. Nevertheless, the trend of suicide in our time is alarming. There is no situation that befalls a man that God cannot turn around; depression will take its full course each time you forget the God factor in every situation of life. Several men who in the time past contemplated suicide but took solace in God now live to share the testimomy of their glorious rising! Whatever happens to you be mindful of the fact that God can turn things around.

Focus: Finding Contentment

WORD FOR TODAY
Contentment begins by believing strongly that the word of God remains the right and the best principles for living. You will not find contentment until you have come to accept and believe that what the Lord has given you is what you need and the best for you and that only Him can meet your needs!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"If they obey and serve him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment."(Job 36:11 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are in a world which is in constant state of discontentment. People are not happy with their nation, leaders, job, church, school, spouse, children and the things they have. We keep trying to fill the void in our hearts looking for money, influential people and possessions of life; yet, we only end up wanting more there by making us feel more empty and depressed.

You have not really come to the fullness of God's blessing until you find contentment in Christ. True contentment is not something we can find in things, people or circumstances but through accepting Christ to live in His steps and having faith that in Him you will have everything you need.
___________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ By whose principle are you living your life?

Prayer Point
Lord! Help me to obey and serve you, let me spend the rest of my days in prosperity and years in contentment in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Main Emphasis
You will only find contentment only when you know that Christ is sufficient and His promises are enough!!!

Focus: What the Lord Will Give You

WORD FOR TODAY
The battle against your life is the battle against what the Lord will give you and make out of your life. All those who have given their lives to God through Christ Jesus have an inheritance with Him!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing." (2Timothy 4:7-8 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have you at any point sat down and thought about why the devil is very much interested in your life. Why will he choose to promote you, place you at a very high position, make you influencial and famous, give you precious possessions of life at the expense of your soul? Why will a high personality like the wife of Portiphar be interested in a slave like Joseph?

Why did the devil not keep the glory of the world to himself that he demanded that Jesus should bow to him? The simple answer to all this questions is that all people of God have a glorious inheritance with Him. Becoming a child of God gives us the assurance of eternal life.

As for Paul, he kept the faith and he lived with the anticipation of the crown of righteousness, which the Lord will give him. Hence, the evil one will not rest until he makes sure that you loose out in the glorious inheritance prepared for you by God.
___________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ Have you laid hold on eternal eternal life?

Prayer Point
Lord! Help me to keep the faith and never to loose out in the glorious inheritance prepared for me in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Main Emphasis
Eternal life is the ultimate inheritance you have in God as His own special people!!!

Focus: Come Back Home

WORD FOR TODAY
There is no time that is too late to return to God in absolute repentance. No matter how far you think you have drifted far away from God; His arm is ever waiting to receive you!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him." (Luke15:20 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the prodigal son saw that he cannot continue to live in the mess he brought himself into; he turned to a direction towards the Father who received him joyfully. Similar fate awaits every man who repent genuinely. There is no man who go away from the father that will not mess up. To remain in the mess is the greatest tragedy that can happen to a man.

The devil may provide an arm to provide a temporal measure for your mess but you are only safe with the Lord and his arm is ever safe to receive you. No matter how great the gravity of what you have done against the will of God may appear to be the fact still remains that despite the fact that God chastises his people severely; He doesn't give them over to death (Ps.118:18). His love for all mankind is that we should not perish but to have everlasting life.

Don't give up on God on the account of your shortcomings He is ever waiting to accept you. He is very much interested on your home coming! Repent and get things right with your creator!

Focus: When God is not Going With You

WORD FOR TODAY
The journey God is not going with you is your own journey. All men who embark on their own journey lose out in destiny and pay a painful price achieving nothing!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living." (Luke 15:13 KJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any journey you embark on in disobedience to God's will is a journey that will destroy you. In the first instance, the journey will look promising but the end result will be destruction. When the evil one wants to destroy a man, he takes him away from the path of righteousness peculiar to his destiny.

Each time you are tempted to go on your journey in the manner the prodigal son took his journey always remember that the same fate that befell him awaits you. The prodigal son lost everything he got from the father and became miserable. You can't afford such an experience.

Moses could not afford to lose the presence of God that was why he insisted that he won't go unless the Lord goes ahead of them. Let God lead you. Don't live to please men or satisfy the sinful nature nor go on some one else journey; stay where God wants you to stay and go where He wants you to go.

Focus: Making Sacrifice

WORD FOR TODAY
Life is given to make sacrifice at various levels of life. The values of a man's life depends on the level of sacrifice he is making!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service." (Romans 12:1 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Life is all about sacrifice. No man can fulfill the purpose of God without sacrifice. It is the principle of this life that what you get or will get is a function of what you give. Hence, as you proceed in destiny have it at the back of your mind that you are called to make sacrifice.

Any worship that does not emanate through sacrifice is not acceptable to God. David at a point affirmed that he will not give to God what does not cost him anything. Be a blessing to your world by making yourself a living sacrifice.

If you can sit and think about your life you will discover that a lot of people have invested so much on you; it is not as if it was easy for them but they did it sacrificially. You also, it will be your turn to invest in the life of others do not hesitate to sacrificially make yourself available to help those who need help.

Focus: The Game of Life

WORD FOR TODAY
A man settles for death at any point he comes to the realization and live with the consciousness of ultimate achievement in any facet of life. When you are still in the game of life; you must always put your set backs and achievements behind you; because it is not over until it is over!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
" Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:13-14 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every man created by God live with the consciousness of getting something. Many times when the Lord wants to draw men to himself He makes promises. To Abraham He said: I will make you the father of nations. Jesus to His disciples: I will make you fishers of men. Hence, when we run to and fro we are all aiming at a goal.

The fact that you are still a living soul establishes the fact that God still kept you in the game of destiny; this implies that much is still expected of you. The rule of the game is that you keep winning when you keep aiming at the goal and that you are only allowed to be either offensive or defensive but not to sleep in the journey.

In the game you are likely to either suffer set backs or make progressive achievement; whichever way, keep pressing towards the goal till the end be it in your marriage, career, academics, ministry and pilgrimage to eternity. If the end has not come it is not over until it is over.

Focus: The Path of Destiny

WORD FOR TODAY
The plan of God for your life is associated with your destiny. Where you are and the place you stand in life is a factor that determines what God will do in your life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"The steps of the godly are directed by the LORD. He delights in every detail of their lives." (Psalm 37:23 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If there is a prayer you must always pray at every point in time it is that God should set your feet on the path of your destiny. The life of a man is yet to be meaningful until he discovers his destiny. The fact that you are created for a purpose makes your destiny a peculiar one. You are not a fulfillment until you fulfill your destiny under God.

Some people have clear understanding of what God wants them to do but they refuse to do it and some of those who accepted to do it are not doing it according to His precept. The Lord instructed some people to leave where they are like the case of Abraham but they held on to their familiar ground and some of those who were told to remain where they are left due to desire for greener pasture to forfeit the purpose of God for their lives.

In life you must seek to know your destiny. True Fulfillment begins by finding and walking on the path of destiny. Allow God to order your steps into your glorious destiny like He did for Abraham, Joseph, David and Daniel.

************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;" (Romans 12:10 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love is an important pre-requisite for every marriage that will work out the purpose of God. Sometimes as either husband or wife situation of life can make you feel inferior to your spouse. Love demands that we should always try to help each other to feel equal.

At times, married couple may not even know each other's feelings, in such a case they can't help each other. At such times you have to help yourself through the word of God. Doing this will always bring about the required peace, love and joy you earnestly desire in your home.

Despite the fact that various life's pursuit can make you to be very busy, the fact still remains that you need a family with sons and daughters to have real fulfillment. In this big world, your small little world (family) which represents your lot in the land of the living will always make you feel good.

A Godly family can never be judgemental nor put you down and will never make you feel small. It is the only place where people will never laugh at your weakness and where you will always get love and respect. Be committed to making your marriage work through humility and love so as to have a godly family.

Focus: Finding Satisfaction

WORD FOR TODAY
Life is not all about where you live but about being happy. It is not about the calibre of people you relate with but finding joy in your relationships and all your endeavours!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil- this is the gift of God." (Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 NIV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each time you see a man who is not happy with his life you have seen a man living in misery. Irrespective of your status you have every right to be happy because it is a gift of God for your life. Since it is a gift of God it can only come from Him. It is not the limited resources available for a man that determines how miserable he is but the state of his heart.

When a man does not find fulfillment in various aspect of his life-academically, maritally, professionally, financially etc. he can never be happy. Finding fulfilment in whatever you do begins with finding God, who gives rest. You are required to take life easy as you pursue the portion of God's blessing reserved for you on earth according to the will of God.

Don't allow the cares and worries of life to kill the joy of the Lord in your heart. Always rejoice in the fact that God is ever by your side to bring to pass what He has said concerning you. Rejoice in the Lord always and keep hope alive.

Focus: What is God saying About Your Life II

WORD FOR TODAY
The impression of God about your life is the true and real picture of who you are. Every effort made to seek the impression and the words of men concerning you is a waste!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." (Matthew 3:17 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At every point in time; God is saying something about you. There is a need to be mindful of what God is saying and what He will say in every action and inaction. In the case of Jesus, what God said was that He was pleased with Him.

There are several men who are doing wonderfully by human standard but God sees their practice as lawlessness. They are celebrities before men but to God they are not known (Matt 7:23). The fact that no man goes to the public without packaging him/herself; makes whatever men is saying about you less important than what God who know the intent of the heart and every deep secret is saying!

Sit down to examine yourself on what God is saying about how you are handling His service, your wife/husband, family, children, neighbours, employer, employee, surbodinate and every divine assignment at your disposal. In all you are doing place much priority on what God will say concerning you than what men are saying!

Focus: What is God saying About Your Life

WORD FOR TODAY
You must be ever mindful of what the Lord is saying about you irrespective of what your experience, people around you and the situation of your domain is saying. God has the final say; as far as your life is concerned as a child of God!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For though the mountains should depart and the hills be shaken or removed, yet My love and kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace and completeness be removed, says the Lord, Who has compassion on you. (Isaiah 54:10 AMP)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As long as the earth remains people and various situation of life will not but say something about you. Also, your experience in life will not but be communicating some messages into your mind. By default, you must have come to accept some things about your life. However, only what the Lord says matters and holds unto eternity.

No matter what happens to you do not forget that the thought of the Lord concerning you is the thought of peace and that He will never leave nor forsake you. The Lord is not ignorant of what you are likely to experience on the pathway of destiny; He said: "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you" (Isa 43:2).

One of those way to live successfully in this terrain is to be mindful of what the Lord has said concerning you even in the midst of what your doctor, friends, enemies, parent and everything around you is saying.

Focus: A Voice in High Places

WORD FOR TODAY
No man will have a sit in high places of various level of life; if no one speaks of him there. There are heights a man can never attain in life until a voice through the help of God speaks well about him in high places!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house." (Genesis 40:14 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The fulfillment of the precious plan of God for Joseph will only come to pass if someone can just speak concerning him to the highest power in Egypt. He was not ignorant of this; that was why he said "make mention of me to Pharaoh". This principle still holds till date; soaring to the top is very easy when someone above you holds your hand and pull you up.

When the Lord is set to have mercy on a man He connects him to people that matter in high places. For David to fulfill the plan of God for his life he needed to get acquainted with the kingdom affairs. This was not possible until someone spoke about him to King Saul (1Sam 16:18).

One of the criminals who was crucified along with Jesus understood this principle said to Him, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom." (Luke 23:42). The height you will reach and how far you will go in destiny depends on the voice that speaks on your behalf in various high places. Even in Heaven, we the children of God have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous (1John 2:1).

Focus: The Test of Patience

WORD FOR TODAY
The test of patience is inevitable to receiving every divine blessing on the pathway of destiny. It is not enough to wait upon the Lord; what a man does while waiting on Him matters most!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." (James 1:2-4 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To be relevant in God's purpose, we will not but face trials. Those who have gone before us never received the crown without being tested.

Trial is an instrument in the hands of God to bring men to the end of themselves. He uses it to teach us the true and the real values of life; so that we can all come to the understanding of His ways and what He can do. He put the children of Israel to test just to prove to them that man does not live by bread alone.

Patience is an important virtue for any man who truly desires to follow the Lord. It is not as if the Lord cannot answer your prayers nor is He ignorant of your commitment towards Him but He is trying to see how patient you can be in shaping your life to have the required character to fit into His divine purpose on earth.

When things seem to fall apart and situation of life tends to mount pressure on you; still wait upon Him. It is in waiting on Him that your life will be made perfect.

Focus: No Competition in Destiny

WORD FOR TODAY
There is no competition in destiny because competition is a distraction and illusion within the spiritual and the physical realm. If you want to command divine sustenance and enlistment, trust God and maintain relevance in your domain of spiritual and physical expertise - Uma Ukpai
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else." (Galatians 6:4)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Destiny is that to which any person or thing is destined; a predetermined state; a condition foreordained by the divine or by human will; fate; lot; doom. Destiny is divine. When we waste our time competing with coworkers, neighbors, friends, family, trying to surpass them or perhaps prove that we are more successful or more important we end up missing out on the track to our destinies.

One thing in life is that, there will always be someone ahead of you, someone better than you in terms of better job, fat money in the bank, better education, better ideas, beautiful wife, handsome husband, better car, better house, well behaved children and all the rest of them.

Life is an organic process that goes from one phase to another. When you explore your uniqueness, you will discover the wings that have been long trapped in you. You will soar to heights you never thought possible. We are all gifted and unique in different ways, there is no need to feel bad with yourself. Even if things are not going well presently, we should remain courageous and determined. Soonest we will get to that very height we want.

Focus: Separation from God

WORD FOR TODAY
When you are separated from God you can no longer enjoy His blessing. Whatever separates you from God in this terrain is capable of separating you from Him eternally!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear." (Isaiah 59:1-2 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of those things the devil wants to achieve in the lives of all men is to ensure that we are separated from God. The essence of all trials and temptation coming your way is to ensure and validate if you will hold on to God or be separated from Him.

Paul at a point in his ministry raised some questions: "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword?" (Rom 8:35). This implies that most of these things are the major factors that separate men from God.

Submit yourself to God and do not allow sin to rule over your life; Be careful not to live in disobedience to His word because it will affect you morally, physically and spiritually. To be separated from God is to be separated from the efficacy of His power.

Question For Meditation:

Focus: Divine Compensation

WORD FOR TODAY
There is a provision of rest for every man who comes to the Lord and abides within His will. The lives of all men who faithfully served the Lord were characterized by His blessings!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee? (Ruth 3:1 KJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes, it seems as if serving God or labouring faithfully in His vineyard is a waste. However, God is not unjust to forget your work and labour of love which you have shown towards His name (Heb 6:10a).

Ruth turned to the God of Israel with a pure heart not minding what will become of her. She threw away her future, her precious past: her gods, people, family and kindred just to serve God. But God on His own part by principle always compensate those who serve Him unconditionally. The Lord gave her the future she thought had become impossible to achieve.

God will only compensate the service you render faithfully towards Him. Do not give away the precious plan of God for your life on the account of the compensation from unrighteous dealing. The Lord has set a time to compensate every faithful and sacrificial service towards Him.
___________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ How faithful and sacrificial are you towards God's service?

Focus: When your Obedience is Complete

WORD FOR TODAY
The efficacy of the power of God and His promises over various battles associated with the fulfillment of your mandate in life will only come to reality when your obedience is fulfilled. There is no other way to becoming a fulfillment under God without absolute obedience!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete." (2 Corinthians 10:6 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every battle of life is first a spiritual battle before manifesting physically.
Every blessing of God is waiting for fulfilled obedience so also the solution to several battles of life. God is not ignorant of your plight and your suffering in various aspect of life. He is mighty to save but His saving power will not manifest until your obedience is complete.

God will not fight on your behalf when you are still lacking in the aspect of obedience to His principles. Each time a man fails to act on the instruction given to him by God; he succeeds in rendering powerless the potency of the power of God in his life.

You must cooperate with God to stop the evil work of darkness in your life by yielding yourself to do what he requires from you. Do not look down on what the Lord is telling you to do in any aspect of life; that is where your victory lies!
___________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ How are you handling God's instruction to you?

Lord! Let me never fail in any aspect of your instruction to me in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Focus: Laying Our Crowns

WORD FOR TODAY
The Lord in His infinite mercy will not but always crown us with Glory and Honour in every domain of life. Learning how to lay our crowns to worship God is critical to how far we will go fulfilling our mandate in life!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor." (Psalm 8:4-5 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Lord created man and made him to have dominion over the works of His hands. By His mercy He puts all things under his feet (Ps. 8:6). Hence, whatever height you have achieved in destiny, it does not make you in any way special than other men but rather a steward to God. This makes whatever crown or honour bestowed on you by God more of a test than for pleasure.

When God shows mercy on a man; He crowns and make him a General, Warrior, President, Governor, Judge, Director, Vice Chancellor, Principal, Minister, Chairman, Professor, King, Bishop, Reverend Dr., Chief, General Overseer, Husband, Wife and the likes!

The expectation of God for you on daily basis in every domain of life is that you should forget who you are and worship Him by yielding yourself to do His will. No matter how terrible and bad your experience appears to be; you are expected to lay your worries and burden before the Lord and worship Him.
___________________________________
Question For Meditation:
+ Have you learnt how to lay your crown?

Prayer Point
Lord! There is nothing I am without you; I lay my crown and worship You in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Focus: What Makes a Man

WORD FOR TODAY
The breath of God is what really makes a man and differentiates him from the dead. No matter how great your achievements in life appear to be always remember that you are dust and that without God you are nothing!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." (Genesis 2:7 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The beauty of man is in the breath of God he carries. Without God we are actually nothing. The admiration you get in every domain of life by the virtue of your achievements and physical appearance is as a result of the breath of God you carry.

Who is a General, Warrior, President, Governor, Judge, Director, Vice Chancellor, Minister, Chairman, Professor, King, Bishop, Reverend Dr., Chief, General Overseer and the likes? Are they not dust bearing the breath of God?

The Lord revealed who King Herod was when he failed to give glory to the One who gave him breathe (Act 12:18-25). You are not different from any other person around you; only the level of grace and various life privileges that differ; we will all return to dust. Humble yourself and acknowledge God as you proceed in destiny. Worship Him for yet another privilege you have as a living soul.

Focus: All Men will Rest from their Labour

WORD FOR TODAY
Every man no matter how great and busy in the land of the living will rest from his or her labour to meet God the creator of all things. The Lord sanctified the Sabbath to remind us as men that we will all rest from our labour!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made." (Genesis 2:3 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is not the will of God for you to be working round the clock all days for any reason. God designed the lives of men to retreat from whatever he/she does from time to time to worship Him. Every avenue or platform designed to give you an opportunity to meet with God you must not neglect because it is made to make you to know Him and experience more of Him.

Some people as a result of one thing or the other gave up worshipping God. Some even claim to be worshipping God in their closet because to them most priest have compromised their office. Whatever the case maybe the fact still remains that corporate blessing that comes when two or three people are gathered can only be received each time a man joins other faithfuls to worship God.

Make it a practice to meet with God whenever call or duty demands it. Let it be a reminder to you that a day is coming when you will not but have an option than to leave this terrain to meet your creator. However, as you join the people of God to worship in a church allow the word of God to work in your life; to purge, purify and make you presentable to God!

Focus: Be Free From Guilt

WORD FOR TODAY
Life gets freer and better in obedience to God's principles. Living a life free from guilt is a prerequisite to enjoying the power and the peace of God in the land of the living.
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then they said to one another, "We are truly guilty concerning our brother, for we saw the anguish of his soul when he pleaded with us, and we would not hear; therefore this distress has come upon us." (Genesis 42:21 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The brothers of Joseph continue to attribute every misfortune they had as a consequence of what they did to him. The same will play out in the life of every man who chooses to live in guilt. Guilt is a cancer that kills a man from the inside. It deprives men the needed confidence they should have in the battle of life and God's presence.

The heaviness of guilt is debilitating. It causes mental breakage, emotional crippling, even physical deterioration. Overall health and well-being is adversely affected when we carry guilt inside. Human being was psychologically designed for innocence, so as long as there is unresolved guilt within us our quality of life is compromised on all levels.

If you are still living in guilt; take the issues to the cross where the work of reconciliation was perfected. And be ready to submit yourself to principles under God that will ensure total freedom from guilt.

Focus: The Wickedness of the Wicked

WORD FOR TODAY
The wickedness of the wicked live with them. Every act of wickedness is an evil seed sown into the journey of destiny and to act wickedly is to reject the peace of God!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"There is no peace, says the LORD, for the wicked." (Isaiah 48:22 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of the important declaration of God to the entire human race is that: "There is no peace for the wicked" The implication of this is that every man who sow the seed of wickedness will never know peace.

Irrespective of the reason a man is holding unto to perpetrate wickedness, the fact still remains that the verdict of God for every wicked soul is that they will not know peace. This is because the seed of wickedness brings about destruction.

A man will have no choice but to be wicked each time he refuses to allow the peace of God to rule in his heart. Do not act, think and love wickedness if you want to enjoy peace in the journey of destiny. Even when it seems as if a man is deriving what it looks like a wonderful dividend from evil and wicked act; his life will never be a blessing, his remembrance will be a curse and his end will end in crises.

Focus: Evil and Good Men will not be Forgotten

WORD FOR TODAY
Beneficiary of good things and victims of the evil perpetrated by evil can never forget the actions of men towards them. If you must be remembered for something it must be for God!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"So Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him." (Genesis 42:8 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everything we are doing now will surely go into the memory lane. Both the good and the bad things a man does in the lives of other men will be remembered. What we have seen over time is that those who do evil always forget their deeds towards others. The brothers of Joseph could not recognise him but he did not forget them and what they did to him.

You will only be deceiving yourself if you think the victims of your deeds will forget your attrocities. They may forgive your wrong doing but history will not. Hence, try all you can under God to leave a positive indelible mark in the heart of those who come in contact with you. Make your remembrance in the heart of men a blessed one. Just as the evil of evil men live with them so also the good deed of good people live with them.

Focus: Recompense for Evil ways

WORD FOR TODAY
If you are evil and do evil in the lives of men, evil will never depart from your household. Everything you do either in secret or public is a seed that will yield bountiful fruits of your deeds in days to come!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And My eye will not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will bring recompense for your evil ways upon you, while your abominations are in the midst of you [calling down punishment from a righteous God]; and you shall know (recognize, understand, and realize) that I am the Lord (Ezekiel 7:4 AMP)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The end of every evil man will never be good. The judgement of the Lord will surely come on every deed of men. No matter how smart the methodology of a man may be in doing evil, he will not always get away with his deeds.

Be reminded that every evil act is painful and capable of causing agony in the lives of the victims. Irrespective of who you are, the Lord is not ignorant of what you have done and doing. Your pretence before men cannot save you in the day of God's vengeance.

The seed of agony you have created in people's life is coming to you in multiple fold. The earlier you decide and cease from doing evil the better for you. Repent from doing evil!

Focus: Building Intimacy with God

WORD FOR TODAY
Every man, no matter how wonderful, supportive, friendly, helpful they may appear to be to you, will surely leave you when the time comes. Develop yourself and build intimate relationship with God; the only one who promised never to leave or forsake you!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then they all forsook Him and fled." (Mark 14:50 NKJV).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every man will not but come to the point of facing his destiny all alone. Every support or help you use to enjoy will not last forever. There is a limit your friend, parent, spouse, pastor can go with you in destiny. This is because every man has a race exclusively set before Him. Make best use of every opportunity you have when God bring men on your path in destiny to help you; enjoy while it lasts.

Jesus in His hour of darkness was left alone; his disciples could not even watch on his behalf prior to His arrest. And when He was arrested they left Him. Those He healed, raised from the death, taught the word of God, fed with 5 bread and 2 fishes; were no where to be found.

What happened to Jesus here is a prototype of what will also happen to you in destiny. Don't be dejected on the account of people's behaviour to you in any situation you find yourself; they did not at any point in time promise to be with you in all situation.
