~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ___________________ [05-03-2017] Focus: Things God Hates WORD FOR TODAY Whatever God hates at any level of life, no matter how enterprising it is before men, is regarded as wickedness. The fate of all men who ignore God to do what He hates is Hell Fire! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God." (Psalms 9:17 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Irrespective of what you feel about life the fact still remains that our God will not accept some things. You cannot submit yourself to do what He hates and still find his favour. Despite being a merciful God; He is also a consuming fire. If you don't want to go to Hell Fire you must not submit yourself to do what God hates. The primary essence of your existence is to please God. God said I hate divorce. Therefore, any man who divorces His wife or husband for any reason is at the danger of hell fire. The permission to divorce was given to men by Moses and not God who instituted marriage from the beginning. Hence, it is not an option when it comes solving marital issues because no man will be guiltless when involved or taking pleasure in divorce of any kind. "These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren." (Proverbs 6:16-19). Make deliberate effort to please God with your existence in every aspect of life. Fulfill your days and be a promoter of holiness and righteousness. Question For Meditation: + What are you living for? Prayer Point: Lord! I receive the grace to please you all the days of my life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: A man who does what the Lord hates is preparing himself for eternal condemnation!!! Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen! Have a Graceful Worship Experience! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [01-03-2017] Happy New Month Focus: Burning But Not Consumed WORD FOR TODAY The interest of God is revealed over your life in that you are not consumed despite all you've been through. With the presence of God in your life, you can never be consumed irrespective of the intensity of fire around your life!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed." (Exodus 3:2 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Despite all you've been through where you are today; it has been God all the way. You were not consumed because the Lord took it on Himself to preserve you. This incident as indicated in the scriptural reference above came in a buildup to the deliverance of the Israelites from their land of slavery. It really meant a lot to them and very significant to their destinies. Despite being in their land of slavery the Lord still took note of them. This was also revealed in the fact that the task masters (Egyptians) were intimidated by their increase even as slaves. With all they did to them, including killing their sons, they were not consumed. What you need as you go on in life is the presence of God. The experience you had in the past does not matter; what really matters is the fact that the Lord is going ahead of you. It only on this basis that you can say I can face tomorrow. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Can you confidently affirm the presence of God as you proceed on the pathway of destiny? Prayer Point: Lord! I need thee every hour; May I never walk and work alone without You on the pathway of destiny in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: The Lord does not promise that you will not pass through fire but He promised His presence in all life's situation!!! ----------------------------------- Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Outstanding Month Ahead!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [25-02-2017] Focus: Sin is a Reproach II WORD FOR TODAY The fact that God forgive sins does not change the fact that history does not. Every man irrespective of who he is; prepares his life for disgrace each time he sins against God!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people." (Proverbs 14:34 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Reproach sets into a man's life each time he falls out of God's grace. The only hope you have as a man on this earth is the grace of God. But you cannot continue in sin that grace may abound (Rom 6:1-2). Therefore, when grace is not made available for a man he becomes disgraced and his life will be characterised with reproach. History can never forget the man called Gehazi who brought leprosy on himself and passed it unto his own lineage by the virtue of His lifestyle. You will always be known for the type of lifestyle you lived in every domain of your placement. You are either a blessing or a reproach. Are you sure that you are not dragging the name of the Lord in the mud? It is a pity that many people are losing interest in spiritual matters because some men choose to be a reproach by the virtue of their lifestyle. The brotherly love which existed among brethren in the past is dying a natural death because we can no longer trust ourselves due to the fact that it sounds so very costly to do so. If you will not be disgraced at any level of life you must be righteous. You must always allow God to work in you to do His good pleasure. This will not only bring about your elevation but will also make your memory a sweet one in the heart of men. _______________________________ Question For Meditation: + Is your life free from Sin? Prayer Point: Lord! Deliver me from every grip of sin in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Where there is sin there you find disgrace; when you are disgraced you become a reproach!!! ----------------------------------- Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Blessed Weekend!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [24-02-2017] Focus: Sin is a Reproach WORD FOR TODAY The fact that every man needs an element of darkness to fall into sin; makes it a reproach. Irrespective of who you are; living in sin is an invitation to living in reproach!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people." (Proverbs 14:34 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No man can ever glory in sin. There is no other way to prepare for reproach than to live in sin. There are several wolves in the fold today who always appear in sheep clothing and not in their true identity just because their lives of sin is a reproach. It is not presentable. Have you seen a man who confidently boasts in the public that he is a thief, murderer, adulterer, drunkard, liar, witch/wizard and the likes? It is not common! However, there are men who take much pleasure in sin and pretend to glory in it. When they do this they are still looking for covering. They want more people to do the same in order to influence the thought of men that everybody is doing it. Whatever the case may be, the fact still remains that sin is a reproach. It is a sin if you don't read as a student; if you are not faithful to your spouse, if you are not committed to doing the will of God at any level of life. The aftermath of these actions is reproach. You are created for God's Glory and the only way to it is to live righteously. Always devote yourself to doing the right both in the sight of God and Man. Don't sacrifice your peace, joy, happiness and fulfillment on the altar of sin. Question For Meditation: + Is your life free from Sin? Prayer Point: Lord! Deliver me from every grip of sin in Jesus name. Amen! Main Emphasis: Each time you cover your sins you succeed in preserving reproach and no man can prosper in the presence of reproach! Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen! Have a Wonderful Friday! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [23-02-2017] Focus: Finding Joy In God's Gift WORD FOR TODAY Finding Joy and happiness in whatever state, position or the level of the resources at your disposal is the most important and primary essence of a good life!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for it is now that God favors what you do. Always be clothed in white, and always anoint your head with oil. Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun- all your meaningless days. For this is your lot in life and in your toilsome labor under the sun." (Ecclesiastes 9:7-9 NIV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Life is given to every man as a gift. It is indeed the most precious gift of God to you as a person. When you consider the earth in it entirety; you will always see things to worry about; therefore, your primary assignment is to always find joy in whatever situation you find yourself. Finding Joy begins with finding God - the eternal King who rules in all affairs of men. It is only what is given to you that is given for your enjoyment. You don't have to be sorrowful or fret yourself on the account of what you don't have. Many atimes as humans we always make effort to have some things thinking that they would give us the desired joy but on the contrary they rather increase our worries. Always have it at the back of your mind that those who have what you are even praying for are still asking for more. Stop eyeing someone's food, wife, clothes and other material possession but find grace in God to enjoy what He has given you; because before every man there is a grave. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + What are the major sources of your sadness? Prayer Point: Lord! Help me to always find Joy in you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Don't be sad on the account of what you don't have; be happy over everything the Lord has given to you!!! ----------------------------------- Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Elated Thursday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [22-02-2017] Focus: The wise and the Foolish WORD FOR TODAY The degree of your preparation in every facet of life is the principal factor that determines whether you are wise or foolish. Opportunities only favour the prepared mind!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. "Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish." (Matthew 25:1-2 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In life, we will not but have those who will either be wise or foolish. The Lord in His graciousness will not but visit His children at the appointed time. The major issue about every divine visitation is its timing which is always concealed from men. Therefore, we will always experience a waiting period. The essence of this waiting period is meant to prepare ahead for the unknown day of visitation. Every wise man acquires strength in the process of waiting. The Lord on His visitation may require from you the ability to mount up with wings like eagles, run without growing weary and walk without fainting. As you are expecting the Lord's visitation and trusting Him to promote you, take you to the next level of life as you advance on the pathway of destiny let not your lamp lack oil. Only a burning lamp is presentable on the lamp stand. Develop yourself so as not to be found wanting in the aspect of requirement expected of you to meet. The five foolish virgins after keeping themselves and consecrating themselves away from the world failed in the aspect of preparation. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + In what way are you gambling with your life and eternal destiny? Prayer Point: Lord! Deliver me from every act of foolishness in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: The Lord's visitation will only favour you when you are wise enough to prepare for His coming at all times!!! ----------------------------------- Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Superb Wednesday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [21-02-2017] Focus: Evaluation of the Mind WORD FOR TODAY The degree of the estimation or evaluation of your mind is what determines your personality. When your sense of judgement correlates with that of God that is when your mind will be correct!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." (Colossians 3:1-2 NIV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anything a man sets his mind upon forms the bedrock of his thinking, understanding and behaviour to achieve whatever he desires. Wrong estimation of who you are as a child of God in your mind goes a long way to influence your place in His purpose. To have a correct mind you must set your heart on things above. In the world, prosperity or success is synonymous with wealth, popularity, power and position. But in God's own perspective, none of these things make a man prosperous. A prosperous man is someone who has God on his side (Gen 39:3). Also, the world considers someone to be beautiful based on his/her appearance. But in God's sight; someone is beautiful when he/she has a meek and a gentle spirit. That is the set spiritual understanding of beauty. It is true that you may lack some wonderful things of this life. However, don't underestimate yourself. Serve the Lord joyfully and stand firmly in the rightful place to always be what the Lord wants you to be. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Who do you think you are with respect to God's purpose? Prayer Point: Lord! Create in me a new heart and renew right spirit within me in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: To rightly evaluate your life; your understanding of things must change and be in line with God's own understanding!!! ----------------------------------- Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Splendid Tuesday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [20-02-2017] Focus: Beyond All Understanding WORD FOR TODAY When the Lord works in the life of a man; its magnitude goes beyond his capacity, strength, resources and all understanding!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "God's voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding." (Job 37:5 NIV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Lord God almighty uses various situation of life to bring men to the end of themselves. Sometimes as human, we brag about the resources at our disposal, our capacity, knowledge and other wonderful things in various aspect of life. However, most of these things fail mostly at critical times just to prove the supremacy of God over all creation and to establish the fact that by strength shall no man prevail. The Lord is speaking to you once again that you must neither place your life nor the perspective of your destiny in the arm of flesh because they are liable to fail. You must always acknowledge God and allow Him to work out His good pleasure in your life. It is an understatement to say you don't have your own capacity or knowledge but there is a limit you can go as a man because you cannot act beyond the grace made available for you. We know the workings of God by its nature; it surpasses all understanding. Even when you think you will fail, die, be disappointed or be disgraced His mercy says No; just to make you have a lasting weapon called testimony for the Glory of His name as you move on in life. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Is your life an embodiment of your labour or God's favour? Prayer Point: Lord! I surrender all my will to you; continue your work in my life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Each time you think about or come across what the Lord has done in your life you will always find out that it is beyond your capacity, knowledge and all understanding!!! ----------------------------------- Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Outstanding Week Ahead!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [19-02-2017] Focus: False Evidence Appearing Real (FEAR) WORD FOR TODAY Where there is an intention to succeed be it spiritually, academically, financially, maritally etc. there you will find fear. The magnitude of the intended success determines the magnitude of the fear you will overcome!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "See, the LORD your God has given you the land. Go up and take possession of it as the LORD, the God of your fathers, told you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged"." (Deuteronomy 1:21 NIV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The basis of every act of unbelief is fear. The first statement the devil presents to every man who desires to advance further into his glorious destiny is that "You cannot". He does not only present it casually but with evidence. When some set of Israelites were sent to spy the promised land in a bid to possessing it. They came up with following fact:- 1. The Land was indeed a land flowing with milk and honey just as the Lord had said. 2. The Land was already occupied by some set of people who were considered to be giants (Anakities). This also was a fact which is in line with the word of God to them; He promised to give them the land of the Amorites, Jebusites etc. However, they only considered their strength with respect to the giant they saw and concluded "we cannot possess the Land". Therefore, many of them couldn't make it there because of fear. Situation of life will always present two basic facts before you; Positive or Negative. Irrespective of what is presented to you. Be mindful of the word of God and act towards it. Never consider your capacity; Look only unto God and take a bold step in the direction of His will for you. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Is the word of God the driving force of your life? Prayer Point: Lord! Let your word be the driving force of my life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Your success in every aspect of life begins with overcoming fear!!! ----------------------------------- Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Graceful Worship Experience!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [17-02-2017] Focus: Rooted in Your Youth WORD FOR TODAY Everything that has to be with a man's destiny is rooted in his youth!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "It is good for a man to bear The yoke in his youth." (Lamentations 3:27 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The youthful age is characterised by strength. This strength is not for nothing but for bearing a yoke in preparation of the coming days. It is a pity that the youths of this present age are not interested in bearing any kind of yoke; they love to be free and to do whatever they wish. Despite attending the best kind of schools with wonderful resources for learning such as the internet; many still remain uneducated and provide jobs for men who provide aid for examination malpractices. Your youthful age determines how far you will go in life because it is the period of foundation laying. Moreso, it is also a period when many things about a man becomes permanent. When a man chooses not to bear his at his youthful age several misery will also become permanent. As a young man try as much as possible to bear the yoke associated to your marital, academic, spiritual, financial life etc. while you are still young. Those men who are considered to be old men today were sometimes strong as you are presently. What they are today was actually the product of the choices they made in their youthful age. If they were to be given another opportunity to be youths again they would have loved it; however, you can only be a youth once in a life time. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Is your youthful years useful to helping you to fulfilling your destiny? Prayer Point: Lord! I receive the grace strength to bear my yoke in my youthful age; my destiny will not fail in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Your youthful age is the useful years which determines the perspective of your journey in life!!! ----------------------------------- Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Fantastic Friday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [16-02-2017] Focus: That your Joy may be Full WORD FOR TODAY Every investment of God over your life is tailored towards making you to experience the fullness of Joy in every aspect of life!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "And these things we write to you that your joy may be full." (1 John 1:4 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The word of the Lord does not come to a man without a purpose. The Lord is so gracious in the fact that He will not but always send His word to His people in every situation of life. Each time His word comes it is to make you experience the fullness of Joy. Joy is exclusively the fruit of the Spirit; the reaction or the expression of God's satisfaction in the life of a man; which comes as a result of absolute obedience to God's will. There are so many people who have various academic achievement and yet have no Joy because they have no place for God in their lives. We have seen and heard of men who wanted to commit suicide despite having very beautiful wives, children and several wonderful possession of life like cars, houses, clothes, awards, certificates etc. The possessions they have does not give them enough reason to live on. These happened to them because they failed to submit to God through His word and His principles. You may not have much of these possessions of life; however, the word of the Lord coming to you on daily basis is presented to you so as to find fulfillment even within the limit of your divine allocation. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + In what way are you frustrating the investment of God over your life through your reactions to His word and principle? Prayer Point: Lord! Strengthen my heart to live by your principles in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: The essence of every word of God coming your way is to ensure that you experience fullness of God in every aspect of life!!! ----------------------------------- Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Joyful Thursday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [12-02-2017] Focus: Nothing Changes WORD FOR TODAY No matter your experience, behaviour of men towards you and the advancement in the world system; the fact still remains that God is the same both in principle and personality!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." (Hebrews 13:8 NIV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Irrespective of the reasons behind your actions the fact still remains that the expectation of God over your life remains unchanged. It is possible that you have gone astray and fallen into sin; the fact still remains that nothing has changed as far as God is concerned. His love for you is still intact and never take pleasure in the death of a sinner. You only need to repent and turn back to Him like the prodigal son. Similarly, you may have cogent reasons for compromising your faith. To you, it is situation of this life that gave you no option. Nevertheless, to God, nothing has changed; He knows those who are His, if you must be for Him you must depart from iniquity (2Tim 2:19). Your own case may also be like that of Moses who was made to sin against God by the people he was leading. This also does not change the requirement of God; He is not a respecter of any persons; He only accepts those who fear Him and work in righteousness. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + What has actually changed in your life ever since you claim to have surrendered your life to God? Prayer Point: Lord! I receive the grace to consistently follow you all the days of my life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: If you must change it should be towards the unchangeable God in His principles. ----------------------------------- Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Refreshed Worship Experience!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [11-02-2017] Focus: The Perils of a Failed Leadership WORD FOR TODAY One of the greatest evil that can ever happen to a land is to have unrighteous leaders. Righteousness remains the most important requirement if a nation will be exalted!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan." (Proverbs 29:2 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jesus at a point in His public ministry had compassion on the people not because they had no food to eat, cloth to wear or shelter to live in but mainly because they were more or less like a sheep without a shepherd (Matthew 9:36). The issue of leadership is a very serious one in the heart of God because they represent the channel through which He ministers to the needs of men at different levels of life. What do you think will become of a sheep on whom the shepherd sees as a meat to feast upon? What happens to citizens of a land whose leaders lack vision? There exist a Pharaoh who through the grace of God in the life of Joseph saw the time of abundance as well as a time of famine ahead of time. He made an important sacrifice by putting a stranger he did not know at the helm of the affairs of the land of Egypt just to save his own people. You also; at your own level you are a leader. God will never consider you innocent or righteous if you lead your own people without a clear cut vision. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + On what perspective does your vision lie with respect to men placed under your watch? Prayer Point: Lord! Help me never to fail in the responsibility or in destiny in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: A Man will not but fail in leadership whenever he fails as far as righteousness is concerned. ----------------------------------- Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Gracious Weekend!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [07-02-2017] Focus: The Only House hold Name WORD FOR TODAY Irrespective of whatever betides you; Jesus Christ is still the only house-hold name. The only solution to all life's problem!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:9-11 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The name of Jesus is the name that is above all names. This statement credited to Him is a major source of controversy among several people of the earth who are carnally minded. However, irrespective of your knowledge, what you feel about life and your experience; the fact still remains that every affair of this life is programmed around Him and for Him. If you have known Him by experience you will be sure of the fact that something definite will surely happen at the mention of the name of Jesus. It is not by norms, tradition or custom but by faith in His word, works and personality. As a human; we will not but always come to the point at which we will be incapacitated and will need someone to help us out. When this time comes; don't call on men who also need help in certain areas of their lives but call on the Lord Jesus. He is the strong tower in whom the righteous finds refuge and the ever present help in the time of trouble. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + To whom do you turn to for help? Who do you call in the time of need? Prayer Point: Lord! Let me always experience your intervention in every affair of my life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Not all solutions are real solution; Jesus Christ is the only real solution to all life's problem!!! ----------------------------------- Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Wonderful Tuesday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [08-02-2017] Focus: The measure of life's Challenges WORD FOR TODAY Challenges of life does not respect any man irrespective of who he is. The greater your placement in life; the greater your challenges will be!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "And Peter opened his mouth and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him."(Acts 10:34-35 ASV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When a man is praying for increase in various aspect of life he is actually praying for increased responsibilities that will give room for increased challenges of life. The fair nature of God is seen in the fact that no man is totally free from the challenges of life irrespective of his position and status. The measure of God's grace in the life of a man will be the measure of the challenges he will have. A man who is not a President of a country can never have presidential challenges. There are some men whose sickness, mistakes, grace, disgrace, evil or good deeds will not only be known at local or national level but also internationally even when thousands of men with similar issues are not known. As you move on in life you must never be ignorant of the fact that life's challenge is part of the human life. God allows them into our lives to measure the progress of our growth and character. In whatever situation you find yourself try as much as possible to remain acceptable to God. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + With respect to your experience so far in life; are you still in the faith? Prayer Point: Lord! I receive the grace to overcome every challenge life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Men, irrespective of position and status, are destined to have challenges in life!!! ----------------------------------- Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Victorious Wednesday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [06-02-2017] Focus: Life Continues WORD FOR TODAY No matter how wonderful our relationship may appear to be with men we must be ever conscious of the fact that it will always be for a few time. No relationship on this planet earth is designed to last forever!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment," (Hebrews 9:27 NLT). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Despite the fact that we are created for relationship the fact still remains that every relationship has a time limit. Consider it a great privilege each time you come across a man who atleast have an impact on your life as you proceed on the pathway of destiny. We meet to part and part to meet so they say. However, several factors in life will continue to influence the level and the degree of our relationship with men. Life has proven over the time that this world is not our home; we will surely leave this present habitation. If we can point to some of our loved ones who have passed unto eternity then we can be so sure that our own time to meet our creator will also come. At death, the consciousness of man is passed unto eternity; his real home. No matter how painful the exit of our loved ones might have been the fact still remains that we didn't stop living; life continues just the way the dead continues his/her life in eternity. Don't give up your eternal destiny with God on the account of various relationship with men. Be very sure that you have a personal right standing with God. Detach from your life everything making it difficult for you to do the will of God. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Where will you be if you should answer the call today? Prayer Point: Lord! I will not sacrifice my eternal destiny on the altar of sin in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: There will always be a hereafter to every human life!!! ----------------------------------- Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Delightful Week Ahead!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [19-01-2017] Focus: The Day of God's Vengeance WORD FOR TODAY Living in peace to having success in every endeavour in life begins with knowing and living with the consciousness that God is the God of vengeance!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, The year of recompense for the cause of Zion." (Isaiah 34:8 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In whatever you do in life be ever mindful of the fact that God is watching and He is a God that always fight the course of both the powerless and the helpless. It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hand of the Almighty God. Who will deliver a man from God's hand? When God resists a man who will help him? and when He is willing to defend a man and fight on His behalf who can resist Him? Don't take advantage of someone weakness, ignorance or needs. Don't play God in any domain you find yourself. Keep reminding yourself that you will always be answerable to God over your deeds and that He is a God who pays every man according to what he sows in every aspect of life. Don't be eaten up by the fact that there is no immediate consequence of what you do to others. The Lord is patiently waiting for the day of vengeance; that is why at a point, He says His reward is with Him to give to everyone according to what he has done be it good or bad. Also, allow God to fight and plead your course. It is not an act of weakness when a man allows God to fight on his behalf; in the actual fact, it is the most effective approach to fighting life's battle without having wounds. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + What have you done so far in life that can incur God's wrath and vengeance upon your life? Prayer Point: Lord! I receive the grace to always live to please you and never to incur your wrath in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Beware of your actions toward men; God is a God of vengeance!!! ----------------------------------- Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Superb Thursday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [18-01-2017] Focus: I condemn you Not WORD FOR TODAY Each time a man comes to the acknowledgement of his sins and repent from it; he has succeeded in overcoming any form of condemnation. The only antidote against the grip of sin is total repentance through Christ Jesus!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more."" (John 8:10-11 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Irrespective of how you have lived so far in life the Lord is not willing to condemn you if you will make yourself available to do His will . He is not interested in your past but your future. It is not the sin that you have sinned against God that really matters but what your reaction will be when similar occasion that led you into such sin arises in the future. Whatever your history might have been don't be eaten up by it; don't give up on living rightly according to the will of God. A decision to respond to God will always go a long way to reduce the enterprise of the evil one in any domain. Despite the fact that God and men may forgive sins; history does not. However, history can be re-written just like the case of Paul initially known as Saul. The Lord is always ready to accept a man who turns to Him to live a new life. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Don't you think you remain condemned if you are still living in Sin? Prayer Point: Lord! Deliver me from every besetting sin in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: You are free from condemnation; if and only if you sin no more!!! ----------------------------------- Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Inspired Wednesday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ _________________________ [17-01-2017] Focus: A means to an End WORD FOR TODAY To the insane world and the generation of those who forget their God; money is an answer to everything. Despite the fact that money is inevitable in every aspect of life the fact still remains that it is more or less a means to an end!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "A feast is made for laughter, And wine makes merry; But money answers everything." (Ecclesiastes 10:19 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Even if a man has so much money to buy whatsoever he likes; the fact still remains that he neither buys nor have everything. Various situation of life have proven the fact that there is a limit to which money can carry a man. In the actual sense, those who truly enjoy life to its fullness are not those who have plenty of money but those who enjoy the mercy of God at every junction of their lives. There is nothing that can be compared to be living freely, walking freely and having good health without been eaten up with cares and worries of this life. The rule of nature is seen in the fact that the more you have the more your worries. It is not the case that money is not good, in fact you need and you will always need it; However, you must live having the orientation that everything is not about money. Don't define your faith, career, marriage, academics, ministry and your destiny with respect to money. If you do; any of the above mentioned aspect of life can be bought with money. You are bought with a price; don't give up the precious plan of God on the account of what is meant to serve you. Question For Meditation: + What value do you place on yourself with respect to money? What is your worth? Prayer Point: Lord! I will never sacrifice my peace, fulfillment, purpose and mercy for money in Jesus name. Amen! Main Emphasis: A man can have plenty of money but cannot have everything! Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen! Have a Prosperous Tuesday! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ _____________________ [16-01-2017] Focus: Everything About HIM is Great WORD FOR TODAY In whatever way or dimension you think about the workings of God in the lives of men; you will continue to see that His greatness is unlimited! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, O Lord; they will bring glory to your name. For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God." (Psalms 86:9-10 NIV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is a man only who cannot think with his right senses that will deny the fact that God is great. The more we take time to critically observe and think about what He has done the more we will see more of His greatness. His greatness is seen in the fact that we cannot provide an answer to several questions of life. No man can explain how the bones grow in the womb nor what the Lord used to hold the sun, moon and star in its position. When it seem the end had come for the Israelites at the Red; He made a way. When it seem as if the dream of Joseph was aborted; He used the situation around him to bring the dream to pass. We can't forget what He did with the three Hebrews in the fiery furnace and Daniel in the Lion's den; to them, the end seems to have come but everything eventually turned out to be for His Glory on their behalf. Your greatness is not negotiable irrespective of the way your life appears to be at present; if the Great God is still standing by your side to bring His word to pass. Your past, present and future will continue to speak of His greatness come what may. Question For Meditation: + Don't you think your life is an epitome of His greatness? Prayer Point: Lord! You are indeed great and your greatness will continue to have no limit in my life in Jesus name. Amen! Main Emphasis: Irrespective of what has happened, happening or will happen; everything about Him is Great! Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen! Have a Magnificent Week Ahead! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ _________________________ [15-01-2017] Focus: God's Recommendation and Testimony WORD FOR TODAY People may believe your testimony by the virtue of your appearance before them; However, God's recommendation and testimony defines your relevance in His purpose!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?" (Job 1:8 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The greatest evil that happened to the entire human race is religion. This is because religion puts garment on people rather than a lifestyle after God's likeness. What do you see each time you see a pope, priest, bishop, imam, pastor and the likes? Predominantly, you will always see garment. The human race is very weak when most of these garments are sighted mostly because men love to honour God. Men open the door of their homes, release their money, give out various precious material possessions and sometimes put their lives in line just to honour God. Therefore, many men try to put on these garments to make livelihood, exploit men and make themselves a semi-god over the men under their tutelage. Don't be deceived by those garments; a life contrary to that of Christ is not of God. Try as much as possible to appear the way you are. The garment you put on can never change your personality before the Almighty God. You cannot overcome the evil one with fake lifestyle. ________________________ Question For Meditation: + What is the Lord saying about you despite your wonderful appearance before men? Prayer Point: Lord! Remove every root of deception in my life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: No matter your appearance the fact still remains that God knows who you are and the man that works in you. ------------------------ Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Impressive Worship Experience!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [13-01-2017] Focus: A Service with Specification WORD FOR TODAY No acceptable service rendered on behalf of God is without a specification. A work is not of God until it is done to meet both His requirement and specification!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "But He will say, "I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity." (Luke 13:27 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is not enough to do something for God; you must understand that He has a standard that mustn't be compromise. You are doing nothing until you have obeyed God strictly. Despite the fact that the Lord need men to stand in the gap for Him in every domain in life; He will only acknowledge those who present themselves to fit adequately into His plan in the domain of their placement through absolute obedience to His word. What deprive Moses from making it to the promises land was because of his non-compliance to God's specification at a point as He advance into the promise land. The same thing happen to several children of Israel; they couldn't make it to the promise land despite God's promises on them. King Saul lost his position as the king because he also fail to comply to God's specification in the assignment given to Him by God. The same way Jesus spoke about the people of this generation. Some are preaching, teaching, praying, healing people and prophesying in His name yet will be considered as alien in His Kingdom (Mat 7:22-23 ). God did not know them because they don't fit into His purpose according to His laid down specification. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Are you on your own or doing the will of God? Prayer Point: Lord! Help me to always comply to your will in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Any work, no matter how wonderful it appears, done not according to God's specification is regarded as iniquity before Him. ----------------------------------- Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Splendid Friday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [12-01-2017] Focus: When Faith Matures WORD FOR TODAY The faith of a man has not come to maturity until he comes to understand that God is able to save even when situation proves otherwise and cooperating with Him to have His way to do His good pleasure even when He appears not to save!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference ""If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. "But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up."" (Daniel 3:17-18 NKJV). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maturity as far as faith is concern means absolute loyalty, cooperation and acceptance of what God intents to do even when it appears not favourable. Faith that understands that man must not live by bread alone but God's intention through His word. Many men gave their lives to God through Christ Jesus so as to have a good life; to be healed of their sicknesses, get good spouse, good Job and deliverance from various life's problems. Whatever might be the case with you, know that God walks and works mysteriously. He may not do it even though He can. You are created for His Glory and He can use your life to do whatever pleases Him. However, His plans toward you any time any day is for good and not evil. The measure of your Faith in God determines your attitude in every situation of life. ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Why do you Serve God? What do you seek in Him? Bread or Fulfillment of His purpose? Prayer Point: Lord! Increase my Faith in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Maturity of your faith begins with knowing and living with the orientation that God is the most important thing in every situation of life. ----------------------------------- Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Sensational Thursday!!! |
~~~Daily Spiritual Digest~~~ ________________________________ [11-01-2017] Focus: The Unsearchable God WORD FOR TODAY The unsearchable nature of God is seen in the fact that He walks and works mysteriously. Many things will continue to be a mystery because eternity will continue to dwell in the heart of men!!! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Scriptural Reference "God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end." (Ecclesiastes 3:11 NLT). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Irrespective of your experience, knowledge and feelings about various situation of life the fact still remains that God is real and Jesus is Lord. The statement credited to our God and our Lord has been the headache of several people on this planet earth. Many make several effort to discover God like embarking on a serious scientific research using both the Bible and other relevant books. However, the more they advance, the less they see and more confused they become (Rom 11:33). The Bible will just be a mere literature book to us until God Himself through His Spirit opens the pages of the scripture for our understanding (Jer 33:3). The personality of God will continue to remain unsearchable to the canal mind. Your experience or knowledge is too shallow to prove God's personality because your life is a very minute fraction of His work. If you must seek to find Him; it must be with the heart of worship and faith in His word (Jer 29:13, John 12:46). ________________________________ Question For Meditation: + Do you really believe in God? Prayer Point: Lord! I Acknowledge you for who you are; Make my life an epitome of signs and wonders that men cannot fathom in Jesus name. Amen!!! Main Emphasis: Irrespective of what you feel and think about God the fact still remains that He walks and works mysteriously to make things beautiful at its own time. ----------------------------------- Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Superb Wednesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 30th Of December 2016 Focus: No Excuse is Tenable QUOTE FOR THE DAY Every man probably has excuses for every action and inaction; nevertheless, no excuse is tenable for not doing the will of God in every bid to experiencing His Kingdom in every facets of life!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28 NLT). ________________________________ Excuse is one of those things that will not allow most people to experience the Kingdom of God in their pilgrimage. For some, it is their business, family, spouse or quest for material possession. In the parable of the great banquet in Luke 14:15-23; Jesus made a description of various invitation to different calibre of people. The people that were initially invited made various excuses to exempt themselves from the banquet. When this happened, the invitation was made open to all; be it the rich, poor and even those who are physically challenged in any aspect of life were invited. Since the invitation is made open to all; You can't say you weren't told about the good news. You can't say you didn't come because you are rich, poor or even physically challenged in some aspect of life. The invitation that was made freely open to all is designed that way to ensure that no excuse is tenable. The Lord knows the resistance you are likely to face in every bid to doing His will and also to fulfill your purpose in life. Put aside every hindrance to coming to Him so as to find rest for your soul. Don't join the league of those who say God understands while acting contrary to His will. -------- Lord! I receive the grace to respond to you as at when due in every aspect of life in Jesus name. Amen!!! -------- #- No excuse is tenable for not responding to God's will and purpose -# Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Terrific Friday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 29th Of December 2016 Focus: Satan! The Lord Rebuke you! QUOTE FOR THE DAY When the mercy of God is still at work in the life of a man; It rebukes every evil enterprise of Satan against his life!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "And the Lord said to Satan, "The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?"" (Zechariah 3:2 NKJV) _____________________________ Since all men have sinned and fallen short of God's Glory; we all have a case to answer before the evil one until we take deliberate step to surrender our lives to God in response to the call to salvation. Satan is an ancient angel which existed even before the creation of man. Therefore, no man can rebuke him except the Lord alone. Even if he is subdued at your command it is actually the workings of God in you. If the Lord were to keep the record of sin who can stand. Can you stand? If No; Yet the Lord chose you and rebuked the evil one over your life and the affairs of your life. If the Lord had brought you this far this year and in your journey in life; you did not die nor suffer loss in various aspect of life; it is an indication that He has rebuked Satan on your behalf. Satan in his attributes does not rest. Like a Lion seeking whom to devour; he has not given up on you. He is very optimistic of performing his enterprise even with the little time left this year as well as the coming days. Irrespective of his evil plans against your life; take refuge in God whose mercy is unlimited. I decree that the Lord rebuke Satan over the affairs of your life and over everything attached to your destiny in Jesus name. Amen!!! -------- Satan! The Lord rebuke you over my life in Jesus name. Amen!!! -------- #- The Lord must rebuke Satan if he will not stop you in every bid to fulfill your destiny -# Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Victorious Thursday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 3rd Of December 2016 Focus: Don't Play God QUOTE FOR DAY The beauty of life is seen in the fact that we see things differently based on our knowledge and various life's experiences!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR DAY "One only is the Lawgiver and Judge Who is able to save and to destroy [the One Who has the absolute power of life and death]. [But you] who are you that [you presume to] pass judgment on your neighbor?" (James 4:12 AMP). ______________________________ Despite the fact that we are required to represent God in various aspect of life we are not expected to act as if we are the one who created and have the final say over the lives of men. As a man, we see things in life from different perspective. It could be from our knowledge through what we were told or taught, what we read from books, what we saw in the lives of men around us and more importantly our experience. Whatever the case may be; "Let God be true and every man a liar" (Rom 3:4) It is very wrong to expect a child to behave like an adult. God will never condemn a child from behaving like one even though His ultimate expectation over such a child is that he should grow to maturity (1cor 13:9-11). In your relationship with men you must be careful to deal with them with understanding. Jesus Christ on the cross of calvary prayed on behalf of those who crucified Him. He said "Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing". He did not condemn them because He knew they didn't actually know what they were doing. Irrespective of the behaviour of men around you; don't take the place of God in their lives. Don't be too quick to judge them because of the way they appear but rather see them as men who can improve to get better in every situation. ------- Lord! I receive the grace to see men the way you see them in Jesus name. Amen!!! ------- #- A man cannot act beyond the measure of grace he has received -# Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Remarkable Weekend!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _______________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 2nd Of December 2016 Focus: It is the Lord's Doing QUOTE FOR DAY You have not come to the best conclusion of your life until you come to know that you are what you are by the virtue of God's grace and mercy!!! ******** BIBLE VERSE FOR DAY "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them- yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me." (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV). ______________ Irrespective of what you are enjoying from life the fact still remains that you are just favoured to be the product of God's grace and mercy. Yes, it is true that you laboured, prayed and played your part in various aspect of life; the fact still remains that it is the grace of God that did not allow all your input to be in vain. Nevertheless, you must always remind yourself that you are what you are by His grace alone. Don't be tempted to play God or look down on those who are less privileged. A man of God by the virtue of the Grace of God that always keep him safe wherever he goes concluded in one of His messages that any child of God who had an accident is a sinner. Unfortunately for him, he had an accident while travelling back to His place of residence. Thank God, he did not die but his car was condemned beyond repair. This is just a message for him that he was not safe all this while because of his holiness but God's mercy. When you see people who don't have what you have see them as men who have not received the measure of grace given to you in a particular aspect of life rather than an offender. Always acknowledge God for making you who you are. ---- Lord! I bless and acknowledge for who you are and for what you've done so far in my life in Jesus name. Amen!!! ---- #- Your life is a work in progress in His hand; you are who you are by His grace alone -# Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Elated Friday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? Happy New Month ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 1st Of December 2016 Focus: When Vision Becomes Blurred QUOTE FOR DAY Every delay against the fulfillment of a vision makes provision for character development. For every vision to come to pass; we must pass the test of time!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR DAY "For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry." (Habakkuk 2:3 NKJV). ________________________________ No matter what we do; there is an appointed time for the fulfillment of every vision. However, we cannot but come to a point where situation around us will prompt us into doubting if the vision is real. Whatever the case may be with you, vision is meant to speak at the end for those who believe, wait and work towards it. Abraham at a certain point got frustrated and probably asked himself; "how long will I continue to count stars with nothing to show for it despite my obedience to God?" In life, there are two important mountains; the mountain of revelation and the mountain of fulfillment. However, there are several experiences between these two mountains. Joseph did not suddenly become the prime minister of Egypt, Abraham didn't become the father of many nations over night. They all went through the process of character development within a period of time to understand who God is beyond the written pages of the scripture. It doesn't matter if men do not believe in your vision with respect to what is happening to you at this moment; it is not for them in the first place. Allow God to use various situations to change you into a man that can sustain a vision. ------- Lord! I receive the grace to wait and hold on to that which you have shown and spoken about me in Jesus name. Amen!!! ------- #- The testing of a man's character is inevitable in the fulfillment of his vision -# Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Inspired Month Ahead!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? Happy New Month ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 1st Of November 2016 Focus: Gaining God's Approval Through His will 2 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The beauty of a man in God's service is not in the abundance of the physical things around his life but the testimony of the Lord concerning him and the quality of His service!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!" (Matthew 17:5 NKJV). ________________________________ The work of God is not without a specification. It shouldn't be done in a way other than His way. You have not worked for God until He testifies to the quality of your service. One day the Lord appeared in a revelation to my Pastor (the father whom the Lord used and still using to bring me up spiritually). The Lord said to Him: "What makes me to feel your existence is that each time I look down, I see you working in my garden" What a wonderful divine testimony of a man in active service for the Lord! Many are working but not for Him. Even if they claim to be in His garden they are doing something else. Therefore, the Lord considers them to be strangers and cannot gain His approval. If it seems they have great audience they are not the wheat but rather the tares because God will never allow His people to listen to them. What we see in Jesus is that He came to please the father alone. Hence, He got every right to be a perfect High priest because the Almighty God was pleased with Him. How can you be the priest of the Lord without doing His will? If the verdict of the Lord over your service matters; you must prioritize doing His will. ------- Lord! I receive the grace to please you in every aspect of life in Jesus name. Amen!!! ------- #- Your relevance in His service depends on the priority you place in doing the will of God -# Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Superb Month Ahead!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 31st Of October 2016 Focus: Gaining God's Approval Through His will QUOTE FOR THE DAY The Lord will not only bring people to your feet but also command them to listen to you if and only if you gain His approval by doing His will!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!" (Matthew 17:5 NKJV). ________________________________ The value of a man's life is a function of the human resource around his life. The beginning of the end in a man's life is identified when the heart of men turn against him. When the Lord is set to really bless a man He does not give him plenty money but plenty good people. When a man is blessed with good people in his business, career, ministry, academic pursuit etc. He will not only have money but also many good things of life that will ensure his fulfillment in various aspect of life. If the Lord truly own the hearts of kings; He can bring men to help you at any length and capacity. Therefore, to be at the mercy of the almighty God you must do His will. The Lord must be well pleased with your existence. Therefore, in everything you do, if the Lord must command people to hear your voice and remain relevant in His purpose, you must be willing to resemble Him in His attribute. You must represent Him accurately in His fullness. As you go out today at His command; make pleasing Him your uppermost plan. ------- Lord! I receive the grace to please you in every aspect of life in Jesus name. Amen!!! ------- #- Your relevance in the land of the living depends on how relevant the will of God is in your heart -# Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Outstanding Week Ahead!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 29th Of October 2016 Focus: The Tares among the Wheat I QUOTE FOR THE DAY The Works of the enemy is identified by its evil nature. The ability to differentiate between what the enemy has done and the works of the Lord is principal to living victoriously on earth!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. . . Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? . . .He said to them, "An enemy has done this."" (Matthew 13:25-28a NKjV). ________________________________ Whatever the case may be in any situation of life the fact still remains that our God is good because there is no element of evil in Him. Where there is evil: the indication is that the enemy has performed an enterprise. Sometimes, as we move on in life we will not but see some evil work of the enemy growing side by side with the work of God. But we must be able to identify the workings of the devil in order to have required victory through the working of God. Sometimes we wonder why the Lord does not intervene almost immediately when we cry to Him even as a bonafide child in His hand; the issue is that; He will always wait for the harvest time (3rd day) when an end will come to every moment of darkness. The devil is serious with the business of stealing, killing and destroying at every slightest opportunity. Even with these, you must not be ignorant of the fact that the emergence of the Son of God is to destroy what the enemy has done. Don't give up in calling on the Lord to put an end to every works of the enemy. Also, repent from those things that give room to evil work of darkness. ------- Lord! uproot every tree you have not planted in my life in Jesus name. Amen!!! ------- #- The works of the enemy is characterised by evil -# Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Peaceful Weekend!!! |
