~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [09-03-2018] Focus: The Pathway of Excellence WORD FOR TODAY Excellence begins with how you treat people - Sam Adeyemi ************************ Scriptural Reference Do nothing from factional motives [through contentiousness, strife, selfishness, or for unworthy ends] or prompted by conceit and empty arrogance. Instead, in the true spirit of humility (lowliness of mind) let each regard the others as better than and superior to himself [thinking more highly of one another than you do of yourselves]. (Philippians 2:3 AMP) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The beauty of a nation does not depend on the magnitude of the resources she has but the value it places on its people. A nation that places less value on its people and does not invest on them will not only be miserable but also be cursed. You define your future and your impact in the land of the living by the manner you treat the people around you irrespective of who they are to you. Your performance in everything you do is engraved in the hearts of men and not even in their actions towards you. What is the usefulness of a life that does not have any positive impact in the lives of men? You were created for service to humanity. In everything you do; hold to a very high esteem the interest of men whom you are serving. This is the pathway of excellence as seen in the life of Christ Jesus who died for our sins. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Are you a blessing or a curse to people around you? Prayer Point: Lord! Make me a blessing to my generation in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Each time your deeds are remembered be it short or long term; people will either bless or curse you!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Have a Fantastic Friday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [08-03-2018] Focus: What must I do? WORD FOR TODAY The best way to live is to live seeking for what to do to get better. There will always be something to do to get better in every facet of life!!! ************************ Scriptural Reference "Now a certain ruler asked Him, saying, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" Luke 18:18 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The young ruler discovered that there was yet a feat he had not achieved despite his achievements on earth. Knowing this, he sought to know what he must do from the Lord Jesus. Also as you proceed on the pathway of destiny on earth, irrespective of what your achievement might be at any point in time, there will always be a vacuum in your heart. You will always have a feeling of something you have not achieved. Therefore, you must always seek God to know the next line of action to ensure that you get better maritally, spiritually, academically, financially, socially, professionally etc. Live your entire life having the orientation that the best is yet to come and that you must always seek God to help you know what to do in every quest to get better in every aspect of life. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Who and what do you seek in every quest to get better? Prayer Point: Lord! I receive the grace to seek for you in every quest to get better in every aspect of life in Jesus name. Amen!!!

~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [07-03-2018] Focus: Why are you like this? WORD FOR TODAY A man of purpose live for something. You have not come to the understanding of your purpose on earth until your experience is tailored towards helping you to be what God wants you to be!!! ************************ Scriptural Reference "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed-- always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body." (2 Corinthians 4:7-10 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the text, the major reason why Apostle Paul and other disciples had the experiences they had was revealed. In all things they commended themselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings;" (2 Corinthians 6:4-5); Just to win Christ and be a partaker of His Glory. Jesus was nailed on the cross to save the entire human race. Joseph was a slave for a purpose, Daniel was in the Lions' den for a purpose. The three Hebrews passed through fire to prove a point for the Glory of God. What will your own life turnout to be with respect to your experiences so far in life? Why is your life like this? It will be a very difficult question to answer if you don't know the perspective of your destiny. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Is your experience so far in life relevant to what you want to be or tailored towards the fulfillment of your purpose on earth? Prayer Point: Lord! I will not waste away; I receive grace to fulfill purpose in this wilderness of life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: If you must suffer, it must be to fulfill a purpose !!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Have an Inspired Wednesday!!! |

(Number 32:23 NIV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Lord has given every man certain degree of freedom to choose how to live. For every grace made available for you to do the will of God the Lord will judge. No matter how smart a man may think he is in committing sin of any kind for any reasons the fact still remains that the wages of sin is death. Various efforts can be put in place to cover a sin, it is a matter of time; your sin will find you out. A time will come when you will be ready to advance into the rest the Lord had prepared for you. It will be a very terrible experience if your sins should stop you. The urgent call of the Lord who will reveal every secret and bring every works of men to judgement is repentance from your sins. Irrespective of who you think you are, the sin in your life will surely find you out. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Is your life free from sin? Prayer Point: Lord! I receive the grace to live above sin. My Glory will not turn to shame in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Every sin in your life will single you out at every critical point of your life before advancing into your rest !!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Have an Impressive Tuesday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [05-03-2018] Focus: Money is Not Everything WORD FOR TODAY Money is not everything, but a means to an end. A man who believes that money is everything will eventually sell his glorious destiny, future and eternity for money. ************************ Scriptural Reference "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." (Hebrews 13:5 NIV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Money is good; it is an indispensable element of the human life on earth. We all need money to fulfill our purpose. However, we should never give too much power to money because money is a good servant but a bad master. Never put money in place of God in your life. A man who lives just to make money lives for the wrong reason. Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless. (Eccl. 5:10). There are several good people in this life who would have made impact in the lives of men but eventually became laughing stock because of money. Many people lost their peace, integrity,purpose, mandate, message, fulfillment, hope for eternity with God. Don't allow money to define your destiny or action but always decide on what money will do for you. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Is money your servant or your master? What is your life turning into because of money? Prayer Point: Lord! I receive the grace to make money my servant and not my master in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: God did not create a man who has everything. The richest of all men on earth still lack something; hence, money is not everything!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Have a Dignified Week Ahead!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [04-03-2018] Focus: What Has Changed? WORD FOR TODAY There will surely be a remarkable change in the life of a man who truly have an encounter with Christ. It is an aberration to claim being born again without an evidence of a new life!!! ************************ Scriptural Reference "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. (2Corinthians 5:17 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is a need to sometimes sit and evaluate your life based on your lifestyle to know your progress in the Lord. Can you identify any change in your life since you believed? You have not met Christ Jesus if you discover that nothing spectacular in terms of living righteously has happened in your life. All those who truly had an encounter with Christ experienced God and have a change of life. Many of them stopped stealing, fighting, keeping malice, backbiting, fornicating, lying, being wicked etc. There is a distinct change in their lifestyle after giving their lives to Christ. The evidence of being born again is in the fact that you no longer live in sin and that all those things you used to do which are not the will of God; you do them no more. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Are you truly Born Again? If yes!What has really changed in your life? Prayer Point: Lord! Touch my life one more time, every old thing still left take away; let me experience newness of life in Jesus name. Amen!!!

~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [03-03-2018] Focus: What is your Worth? WORD FOR TODAY Quantifying yourself based on money and other material possessions set a limit to your life. You still have nothing until the Lord becomes your exceeding reward!!! ************************ Scriptural Reference "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19 ESV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some set of people gave an account of what some men of God worth in terms of their assets and the money they have. However, one of them replied that his life did not worth the amount they say he is worth but his worth is Philippians 4:19. A man who has God has everything. You need more than money or earthly possessions to live successfully on earth. Stick closely to God who make things beautiful in its time. Eternity is the only place where there is no limit. Therefore, God sets eternity in the hearts of men so that they will be ignorant of what the lord has done from the beginning. When God is your exceeding reward your life can't be subjected to the prediction of men. They can never know reading the trend of your life; the more they look the more they become confused and the less they see. Make the eternal God who can meet your needs your worth and you will never be disappointed. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + What is your worth? Prayer Point: Lord! Continue to be my everlasting portion in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: No matter what you have in life, it only sets limit to your life; with God at your side you have access to unlimited blessing!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Have a Providential Weekend!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [02-03-2018] Focus: A Polluted Mind WORD FOR TODAY When the mind is polluted the sense of judgement will be wrong. In your relationship with men, relate with them based on what you see and can verify about them and the pure conviction of your mind but not what you were told about them!!! ************************ Scriptural Reference Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. (Philippians 4:8 ESV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Each time the devil and his agents on earth wants to win over a man they pollute his mind. This was the strategy used for Eve. As humans, we are limited in various areas of life. If care is not taken as far as our relationship is concerned, we will fail in our responsibilities towards men or even miss the blessings God preserved for our lives through men. Some people because of the grudges they bear in their mind as a result of what they were told missed the chances they had of fulfilling their God given dream through a covenant helper. Sometimes, the way we see God is a function of what we were told about Him by men based on their own personal experience with Him or what they feel about Him. Don't give room for pollution! Always pay attention to what is true, honourable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent and anything worthy of praise! ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + What is the basis of your conviction about men and God? Prayer Point: Lord! I receive the grace to discern the right disposition to various issues of life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Give no room to pollution but always renew your heart to discover what is good at all times!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Have a Blessed Friday!!! |

~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ Happy New Month ________________________________ [01-03-2018] Focus: Saved By Grace II WORD FOR TODAY The works of Salvation does not take place in the life of a man by qualification but by grace. Don't be eaten up by what you have seen and achieved so far in life; you have come to this point by Grace and you will go forth in Grace alone!!! ************************ Scriptural Reference "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." (Ephesian 2:8-9 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sometimes we wonder why many people despite their knowledge in the word of God still chose to live in sin. The word of the Lord has come in a powerful way to many but yet it seems to be without any effect. It is so for many because grace has not been made available. With the zealousness of Paul while he made himself available to kill the people of God; no one will ever think he will ever labour for the same Christ he was persecuting until God made grace available for him. Irrespective of your progress in the Lord, consider it a privilege under God through Grace and do not condemn men who appear to be struggling with pleasing God. You are saved by Grace and you will remain saved by Grace. Keep on looking up to God for help in every aspect of your incapacitation so as to see His salvation. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Can you make an account of what Grace has done so far in your life? Prayer Point: Lord! Make grace available for me in every facet of life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Grace brought you this far and only grace will lead you through the journey of destiny!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Have a Gracious Month Ahead!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [28-02-2018] Focus: Saved By Grace WORD FOR TODAY There is nothing you are today that did not happen by grace. The summary of your life irrespective of what your lot may be in land of the living is GRACE!!! ************************ Scriptural Reference "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. (Ephesian 2:8-9 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Everything you have been able to achieve in life does not happen by your power or your doing but by the grace of God. Under no circumstances do you have any reason to boast over your life in any aspect. Grace is what differentiates men from one another. There are people in this life who are fast runner, brilliant, powerful, influential and rich but have never experienced fulfillment in various aspect of life. Everything that appears so easy for you is so; because the Lord made grace available. Despite the fact that you have a part to play in everything God wants you to be, the fact still remains that you need grace to play it and to even become successful in life. When things work out for you in any aspect of life, it is not automatic but grace at work. To love God; obey His word and walk in His way does not come so easy but by Grace! ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + With your journey so far on earth, what actually did you achieve by your strength alone? Prayer Point: Lord! Make grace available for me in every facet of life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Things only work out according to plan when grace is made available!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Have a Graceful Wednesday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [27-02-2018] Focus: Who Are you? WORD FOR TODAY Identifying who you are is critical to what your life will be and what you will live for in life. Until you see yourself the way God sees you and live according to His expectation you will never live victoriously to fulfill your purpose on earth!!! ************************ Scriptural Reference "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;" (1Peter 2:9 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is very important for you to know or identify your personality. Understanding your personality helps you to have a well defined purpose. At the point of giving your life to Jesus, you have become a chosen generation, a holy nation and an instrument to declare His honour and praise. As a Child of God, you cannot live your life just anyhow, you can't eat just anything, you can't marry just anybody, you can't keep just any friend, you can't do just any job, you can't just live any where, you can't just make decision without considering the will of God; just because you are peculiar and specially created to fulfill God's purpose. You must be mindful of who you are as you go on in life as a Child of God. Who you live to be will go a long way to determine your impact in the land of the living and your eternity. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Who do you think you are? Prayer Point: Lord! Help me to be mindful of who you want me to be in the land of the living in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: The knowledge of who you are and what God wants you to be is the factor that determines what you will live for in life!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Have a terrific Tuesday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [26-02-2018] Focus: Nothing is By Force WORD FOR TODAY Under God something may be required or necessary but nothing is by force. However, there is a reward for every deed be it good or bad!!! ************************ Scriptural Reference "He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still. And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. (Revelation 22:11-12 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the concluding part of the scripture; the mind of God over various instructions in it, is presented to the human race. You are to decide on your own what you will do with respect to the word of God that you know. You have a choice to make in every issue of life. Jesus said: come unto me. He did not force any one to Himself. Also, He chooses to stand at the door of every man's heart and knock but did not force Himself in. Therefore, to be a Christian does not happen by compulsion! You are required to serve God willingly. All those who truly served God did that willingly. Be mindful of the fact that our Lord and our God is self sufficient and He is God all by Himself. Do not yield to any threat or empty promises; only what you do willingly and out of a free mind is acceptable before Him. Be motivated to serve God willingly, do your best to honour God with what you are and everything you have. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Do you serve God with compulsion? Prayer Point: Lord! I receive the grace to willingly yield myself to you always in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: There is a reward for everything you do; nothing is by force. Even to live is by choice!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Have an Outstanding Week Ahead!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [25-02-2018] Focus: What Makes a Christian WORD FOR TODAY Your name, Church, language, disposition and approach to things is not what makes you a Christian but the attributes of Christ in your life. Your existence will only be a blessing when you choose to be a Christian!!! ************************ Scriptural Reference "And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. (Acts 11:26b NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The first set of people called Christians were the disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. They were called Christians not because of their names or because they attended meetings but the fact that their lifestyle resembled that of Christ. Your service and consecration towards God is nothing if your life does not resemble that of Christ. What is the essence of bearing John, Daniel, Joseph, Enoch, David, Paul and the likes if you are not known for righteousness, holiness, love, purity, peace, faithfulness, gentleness, kindness, self-control, meekness, humility etc. Are you living to please God? Do you honour God with your life? Is God glorified with your deeds among men? Will people be pleased to serve your God without any reservation? Are you a role model? Do you give yourself to the word of God? Do you allow the Lord to live His life in you? You are not a Christian if the Lord is not pleased with your life and all you do. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Are you a Christian? Prayer Point: Lord! Make me a Christian indeed in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Resemblance to the life of Christ is what makes you a Christian!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Have a Superb Worship Experience!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [24-02-2018] Focus: What will People Say? WORD FOR TODAY Most of what we worry about as humans sometimes is not as a result of the nature of the issues at hand but the view and the disposition of men about the issues. When you know what God has told you and His will, don't listen to what men will say or are saying - Mafimisebi S. ************************ 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. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." ( Romans 12:1-2 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One of those things that hinder most people from becoming what God wants them to be is the consciousness of the view of men about various issues of their lives. Some people chose their career, church, spouse, dress, appearance, intonation, school, friends not based on their personality and desire but to satisfy the public to get their applause. You have a unique purpose to fulfill, don't fulfill the dream of other people with your own life; it will cost you the fulfillment and happiness meant for you in the land of the living. The fact that you need men to be what you want you be; you also need to be careful with men who have nothing to contribute to your destiny. Don't ever live your life to impress the people you don't even know. Discover to know what the will of God is in every issues of life. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Is your life all about what God will say or what people will say? Prayer Point: Lord! I receive the grace to always renew my heart to discover and do the perfect will of God in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: In everything, discover and hold on to the perfect will of God and please no man irrespective of who the person is!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Have a Lovely Weekend!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [23-02-2018] Focus: You Are Like the Mustard Seed WORD FOR TODAY Every Human life starts in a little way. It is the will and the ultimate desire of God for you to grow progressively with time!!! ************************ Scriptural Reference He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches." (Matthew 13: 31-32 NIV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To be small in any aspect of life is not a curse but to remain small with respect to time. You are not healthy until you grow progressively with time in various aspect of life. The Lord wants to see you grow from the level you are. His ultimate expectation for you is that you should be a refuge for men and blessing to several generations. Even though you appear small today the Lord sees you like a very big tree with many branches providing a cover for many spiritually, academically, financially, maritally, professionally; this is the kingdom of God! You must submit yourself to His will to experience Him in the land of the living. See that you grow under God from being a liability to asset in every aspect of life. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Are you growing as required by God in every facet of life? Prayer Point: Lord! Take away every hindrance to my growth in every aspect of life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Even though you are small today, with God taking the wheel of your life, you are a great tree meant to be a blessing to many generations!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Have a Graceful Friday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [22-02-2018] Focus: Pray Always WORD FOR TODAY Pray about everything and for everything. Prayer will never harm you but will help you - W.F Kumuyi ************************ Scriptural Reference "Be unceasing in prayer [praying perseveringly]"(1Thess.5.17 AMP) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Lord Jesus Christ is our model and what we see Him doing as revealed to us in the scripture is that He prayed perseveringly in all situations. The degree of your prayer life is the measure of how much you actually put your trust in God. Pray continually, even when situations appear as if your prayers are not answered. Don't be weary when it seems as if the needed divine attention is not given to it. Your victory may be nearer than you think. It is very dangerous for a man to be tempted not to pray any more about his life. Every prayer presented to God is a seed. There are good things you never prayed for that came your way. There are troubles of life that you escaped without any preparation in terms of prayer. Praying is your primary assignment and a weapon to live in dominion as a child of God. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Are you a man of Prayer? Prayer Point: Lord! Make me a man of prayer in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: The human life is Characterized by several uncertainties and we are limited in various aspect of life; pray without ceasing!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Have a Gracious Thursday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [21-02-2018] Focus: What God thinks about You WORD FOR TODAY When God thinks about you He does not take much thought about today but your future. The level through which he takes you is exclusively part of His plan towards a glorious future!!! ************************ Scriptural Reference For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29.11NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is an expected end in the heart of every man on earth. It is an established fact that there is a focus or aim for doing what you are doing. I am very sure you are not just moving on in destiny like someone beating the air. You have a dream to fulfill. The Lord is not ignorant of your dreams and aspirations. He is ever ready to bring your dreams to fulfillment in His own way. He waits for you at every critical junction to assist you and stand by you to bring His word to pass. When Joseph was at the age of 17, the Lord already sees him as the prime minister of Egypt. The Lord already sees you in the place of your heart desire. Cooperate with Him irrespective of the path He takes you through, His thought towards you is peace and for the fulfillment of your heart desire. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Are you cooperating with God to achieving an expected end? Prayer Point: Lord! Help me to cooperate with you to workout your good pleasure in my life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Each time the Lord thinks about you, He thinks about your future much more than your present!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Have a beautiful Wednesday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [20-02-2018] Focus: Prove All Things WORD FOR TODAY The human life is limited in many areas. Therefore, you must always seek to know that which is good in all situation of life!!! ************************ Scriptural Reference "Test all things; hold fast what is good." (1 Thessalonians 5:21 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Almighty God does not place something serious with great eternal value in hands of men He has not proved. Today, our God is the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob because He committed Himself to them after He tried them with various life's situation. If proving men is an important attribute of God then who are you to live your life based on assumption. Not everything that appears good coming your way is good. You must always seek to know the will of God for you as a person. What is good for you may not be good for another. You must validate who you accept to be your bosom friend, your mentor, your wife, your business or academic partner and those you share sensitive issues of your life with. You must also prove to know if you are in the right location, Church, School, Business or Job. Not every message or things that appear spiritual can help your life. Irrespective of how wonderful things appear to be don't be carried away; seek that which good and hold on to it. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + How well will you live based on assumptions? Prayer Point: Lord! Help me to always know that which is good for me in every situation of life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: The will of God for your life is exclusively good for you.

(Psalm 37: 23 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No matter how smart you are, you cannot outrun God. You cannot become what is not in the plan of God for you, no matter how hard you try. Despite all the efforts you have put in place in all your pursuit and your achievements the fact still remains that you have not gotten there. Your life is not more than what it is at present. At every point in time in this life, there will be people behind you and several men ahead of you. In destiny, there is no competition every man is created to fulfill a unique purpose. Your life is a work in progress in the hands of God and He works in incremental steps in our lives. The Lord is taking you somewhere; He wants to achieve something with your life.

But God does not take away life; instead, he devises ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged from him." (2Samuel 14:14 NIV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As we can see it happening around us, we will all surely die. Irrespective of your achievement so far in every facet of life, the fact still remains that you will leave that office, room, house, car, people that seems so dear to you and everything you ever worked for! This is not to scare you but to remind you of your mortality. Take life simple and do your best to be a blessing in the lives of men. Whether you like it or not, people think about your personality in a certain way; and they will relate it to what your destination will be hereafter. Today you have an opportunity to leave a lasting legacy in the land of the living. If this world is not your home; then you may be called to your home at any point in time. Try as much as possible to use your existence to please God: this is your primary assignment. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + How long do you think your journey will be?

~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [17-02-2018] Focus: What you Married When you Marry! WORD FOR TODAY Marriage is beyond two individuals becoming one but depends on three elements: the individuals involved, their people and their God. Marriage remains incomplete until these elements are actively involved!!! ************************ Scriptural Reference "But Ruth replied, "Don't ask me to leave you and turn back. I will go wherever you go and live wherever you live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God." (Ruth 1:16 NLT) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When you marry, you are marrying the personality of your spouse, his/her strength, weaknesses, profession, assets, liabilities, flop, pride, shame, present and future. This is what makes marriage a faith venture. Furthermore, at the inception of marriage, you are also marrying his/her people; irrespective of who they are and their experiences over the years. Whether they are peaceful, lovable, understanding or not. At that point, you have additional fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunties, pastors, brethren etc. Every Godly relationship starts with God and managed by His principles. Therefore, at wedding you are marrying the God of your spouse. King Solomon married several woman who turned his heart away from God. Therefore, you must not be unequally yoked with an unbeliever. Your spiritual progress in life and ministry under God depends on it. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Do you understand the perspective of your marital destiny? Prayer Point: Lord! Grant us the required wisdom to build a successful marital relationship in Jesus name. Amen!!!

~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [16-02-2018] Focus: Don't Envy Sinners WORD FOR TODAY No matter how wonderful the life of a man who chose to continue living in sin may appear to be, the fact still remains that his wages hereafter is death. The reward or consequence of an action is not always in the present but hereafter!!! ************************ Scriptural Reference "Don't envy sinners, but always continue to fear the LORD. For surely you have a future ahead of you; your hope will not be disappointed." (Proverb 23.17-18 NLT) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When you look around you are liable to see men who appear prosperous in their ways despite living in sin. You must never envy them. I have come to know that most people who do evil and engage in several malpractices to make a living or to accumulate things for themselves desperately seek for deliverance from such practices if they have their way. The Lord is taking you somewhere! You can only be what He wants you to be through righteousness. The path He is taking you through may appear very slow and rugged but it is path of wisdom that leads to life. The likes of Joseph, David, 3 Hebrews, Daniel stood out at a point in their destiny walk and at the later end fulfilled God's plan for their lives. There is a future end for you! Don't trade it for anything. You can't afford to miss it. You have a unique purpose to fulfill. Don't envy men who chose to disobey God in His principles. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Who is your role model? Prayer Point: Lord! May I never miss out in destiny in Jesus name. Amen!!!

(Exodus 2:24 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just as plants need time to grow so also the promises of God. The promises of God takes time to manifest. Irrespective of your experiences be mindful of the fact that you are not forgotten. When God is set to bring a man to limelight He allows everything to fall into its rightful place. The case of your life may be like that of the Israelites; the Lord is not ignorant of what you have suffered so far. Wait properly on God and be faithful to Him. Don't allow the situation of your life to make you give up the promises of God. Try as must as possible not to fail in the expectation of His for you.

For I know that this great tempest is because of me. Then they said to him, "What shall we do to you that the sea may be calm for us?"--for the sea was growing more tempestuous." (Jonah.1:11-12 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are some relationship that can mar your life, cause you much damage and make you run at loss.

And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. (Mark 4:39 NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Lord most of the time allows some things to happen to us just to see how much we have grown in our love, faith and loyalty to Him. He is interested in your reactions and nothing more. Sometimes in the time of storm, we tend to ask questions like the disciples did; that " Lord, don't you care that we are perishing?" The action of the Lord in our text revealed the fact that He really cares for them. The Lord's body language may tend to be slow or showing no actions. It is the test of your faith. Don't go out of the ship. As a result of this attitude, many people find it difficult to wait for God's salvation and miss their glorious destiny. Gehazi missed the ship taking him towards the plan of God for Him and became leprous. Everything tempting you to disobey God is meant to take you out of the ship God prepared for your glorious destiny and plant your feet on a sinking sand. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Are you still in the Ship with Jesus?

God in His attributes will not stop various storms from ranging; however, you can be sure of safe landing with Him in your ship. It may look as if He is doing nothing about your case or as though sleeping or does not care whether you are sinking. The main issue is that He is interested in knowing the degree of your trust in Him. Don't be tempted to go out of the ship or ignore His Lordship in the time of storm. Don't dive into the river of worldliness. Don't be afraid, His plans over your life is still very intact irrespective of what betides you.
