Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 29th Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Sowing is the ultimate requirement to experiencing increase in any aspect of life. The man who eats his seeds destroys his own future!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "There is one who scatters, yet increases more; And there is one who withholds more than is right, But it leads to poverty. The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself." (Proverbs 11:24-25 NKJV). ________________________________ Sowing is an essential part of our lives. We are all a product of a sown seed be it directly and indirectly. The Lord commanded us to multiply and fill the earth. Therefore, what we sow determines the nature of our increase. What goes around comes around. You must give something away to have something in the future. A business you did not bless cannot bless you. To keep your business running and productive you must sow into it good and relevant seed for bountiful harvest. Sowing into various relationships also matters; it goes a long way to determine your blessing in the future. A man who lacks understanding is a man who thinks he does not need his own people. Parents have to sow wonderful (spiritual, physical, academic, moral etc) seeds into the lives of their children to make them an effective arrow in preparation for coming days. Also, children are expected to sow into the lives of their parents as a kind of prayer towards their future. This is because the old men of today were the children of yesterday. You must also sow into your marital relationship to promote love. Take absolute responsibility to keep the fire of love burning. Also, your spiritual life is not left out. Sow into it to have more of God in your life. The Lord will bless the work of your hands and make you productive in every aspect of life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Productive Wednesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 29th Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY You are not blessed until you have been a blessing. It takes being a blessing to be really blessed!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "There is one who scatters, yet increases more; And there is one who withholds more than is right, But it leads to poverty. The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself." (Proverbs 11:24-25 NKJV). ________________________________ A man is not poor because of the limited resources at his disposal but his inability to give out certain proportion out of what he has. In this life, you have to give something to get something. You will have nothing or be a Beggar if you fail to give something. Therefore, the primary purpose of your creation is for you to be a blessing. To beautify and add values to your world. King Solomon offered great sacrifices in thousands to the Lord immediately he was installed to rule the people of God. His attitude prompted God to bless him even the more; knowing fully well that His blessing will flow from him unto many generations. You can only be a generational blessing when the blessing of God flows through you. God is sending angels to men on daily basis. They will be coming to you in different form and dimension with the aim of blessing your life. They can appear like a needy, destitute, orphan and the likes. God will always want to see your response. Despite the fact that their appearance may not be appealing to men doesn't change the fact that they are God sent. Be careful enough to try your very best to be a blessing as expected of you by God. Let someone atleast remember you for something in his/her life time. As you move on in life cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again." (Eccl 11:1). Grace to live worthy and acceptable life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Blessed Tuesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 27th Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY There is nothing you have that is not given unto you. Irrespective of how you've lived so far and how you will live; hereafter, you will definitely answer the questions of life!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad." (2 Corinthians 5:10 NIV). _____________________________ The life we have is given unto us. In the actual sense, it is the first Gift of God to every man before every other thing. However, the life we have will return to the giver someday. It is good for every man to submit his entire being to God now that we all have the grace to do so. You will only be on the safe side when the Lord lived His life in you. The Lord is taking note of every minute details of your life. A day is coming when you will see your records. Someday you will answer the questions of life; what will your answer be? Where will you spend your eternity? Many men who heard, spoke, taught, preached and made comments about eternity, whether they believed in it or not, have eventually found themselves there. It is a pity today that many people despite their knowledge about eternity still choose not to live their lives with God with eternity in view. What are you doing with your strength and every other wonderful virtues of your life as a young man and woman? We will all answer various questions of life about every grace of God in terms of our position (secular and spiritual), relationships, health, prosperity and strength. Live your entire life pleasing God alone in every aspect of your life. Allow Him to take exclusive Glory over your entire life. Grace to live worthy and acceptable life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Glorious Week!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 25th Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The beauty of life is seen in the fact that it is characterised by several uncertainties. The story of a man's life will neither be interesting nor inspiring if God would allow every situation of his life to happen according to his thinking!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Israel said to Joseph, "I never expected to see your face again, and now God has allowed me to see your children too"." (Genesis 48:11 NKJV). _____________________________ A man cannot see beyond his vision and his thinking. Therefore, what you see as well as what you think has a very strong capacity to limit you in life. This is the reason why God will not allow most of what you think about yourself and others around you to come to pass. Your experience in life is another factor that determines your thought about various situations. However, God in His infinite mercy always prove men wrong just to bring His word to pass. I don't know how life has treated you so far. Maybe you have given up over some issues and situation of life. Irrespective of your conclusion over the issues of your life the thought of the Lord over you is different entirely. He will do even beyond your imagination. Israel could never imagine losing his glorious son Joseph but the news of his death troubled him to the point that he decided to mourn Him as long as he lived. He gave up on him and all the glorious dreams he shared. However, he did not only see Joseph but also his children with his dream coming to reality. Even though you don't know how God will help you to bring your dreams to reality keep them alive. Put your faith alone in God who can turn situation around. Travel on in life having great confidence in God who knows what is best for you. The Lord will renew your hope and give you a new song in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Sensational Weekend!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 24th Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Irrespective of your experience in life the fact still remains that God will always be who He is. No matter what you feel about life God is real!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "And God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And He said, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you . . . The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations."" (Exodus 3:14-15 NKJV). ________________________________ Several Great men have come and gone. Men like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the likes are not left out; but God remains their God. These men also had their own experience but scaled through by honouring the Lord with their existence. The Lord did not intervene immediately when the Egyptians subjected the Children of Israel to intense hard Labour. He had a pre-determined plan to take glory through their situation. Therefore, He sent a message to them that He remains their God irrespective of their experience. Whatever the case may be with you; God is making it known to you that He remains who He is. The I AM THAT I AM was the One who saved you as a child while other children died; He was the one who took you through those path where others ended up their lives. He is not ignorant of every detail of your life. His name is a memorial not to only one generation but to all. He was the one who parted the red sea, dried river Jordan and broke the wall of Jericho. He is the covenant keeping God. The I AM THAT I AM is still the same today and forever more just as he is in the time past. Lets honour and acknowledge Him irrespective of the challenges in our lives. Whether at death or living He remains the Almighty God. The I AM THAT I AM will prove His existence over your life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Fantastic Friday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 23rd Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY You have not believed in God until you have come to know and believe that nothing in life is actually possible without God. Every difficult and hopeless situation needs divine intervention!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again." (Exodus 14:13 NIV). ________________________________ The Lord God almighty takes great pleasure in taking Glory over every affair of men. This is because the purpose of our creation is primarily for His Glory. Therefore, as a living soul, you are not fulfilled until you have lived for His Glory. When the Lord is set to take Glory over a man's life; He takes him through some life's challenge which is beyond what such a man can bear. He tries as much as possible to bring us to the end of whatever we think we are just to take all the Glory. I don't know what you have gathered around your life; the Lord will only take glory in the fact that you know and believe that without him you are nothing. Therefore, you have every reason to fear when God is not your confidence. All the challenges in your life only brings to your notice that nothing is actually automatic in life and that you need God for every situation of life. Flee from those who advise you to put God away out of certain matters of your life. Acknowledge Him always by doing His will not in some situation but all situation of life. Allow Him to do his good pleasure in your life. When He does it; It will come as a surprise and you will know for sure that it is the Lord's doing which will be so marvellous both in your sight as well as those who have given up on you and those who still believe in your Glorious manifestation. May you see the salvation of the Lord in every situation of your life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Victorious Thursday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 22nd Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY You don't have problem as a true child of God until you have accepted and agreed that you have one. Irrespective of what your experience might have been the fact still remains that your life is a work in progress in the hands of the almighty God!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again." (Exodus 14:13 NIV). ________________________________ Various life's situation tends to threaten men. It always magnifies itself beyond its real potent and capacity. No matter how great any challenge of life may appear to be; they are meant to come to pass. If you are a child of God, you don't have a problem; this is because you are not in the journey of life alone. The Lord will always stand by your side to bring His word to pass; if and only if you believe in it. Therefore, your faith determines your experience. Every challenge confronting you is just an occasion for God to take Glory. There is something you use to know about God before now; you must have known Him as the Almighty, great deliverer, the miracle working God who is mighty in battle, the great provider and the mighty healer. No matter how tensed the situation you find yourself may appear to be you must stand firm on what you know God to be for you; this is because that very Egyptian (problem) threatening your life and giving you sleepless night you will see them no more. Don't be too conscious of what you are passing through. Don't allow it to deprive you the joy and authority you should have as a child of God. Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there. Travel on with patient, trusting only in God to perfect everything concerning your life. That very thing threatening your life you will see them no more in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Triumphant Wednesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 21st Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Life is a gift. The beauty of life is not in having everything you think you need but finding satisfaction through God in all situation!!! ********************* BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil- this is the gift of God." (Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 NIV). ________________________________ If a man must enjoy the best part of his life on earth; he must be ready to find grace in God to be happy in every situation of life. To be happy in life is actually by choice. Many men choose to give up on the challenges of life while others choose to find strength in the Lord. The Joy of the Lord is the strength of those whose absolute trust is in God. The joy you need in life is not encapsulated in the things you did not have nor in the countable. It will always come from the presence of God who rules in the affairs of men in your life. The mystery of life revealed in the fact that no man, no matter how great he appears to be, is without an aspect of life where he earnestly needs God's intervention. Don't be eaten up by various make ups, beautiful attires and various wonderful possession of life you see in the lives of those around you. Those things most of the time actually cover up for other aspect of life that is sick. Don't allow what you see in other men to make you become ungrateful to God who by His special grace brought you this far. Don't live your life in dejection but with confidence that all will be well with you. Enjoy this moment doing the will of God; let not your heart be troubled on the account of care and worries of life; Be happy and rejoice in the fact that God will perfect everything concerning you and that your life is a work in progress in His hands. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Delighted Tuesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 20th Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Every man no matter how great will die with at least a wish in his heart. The best opportunity you have to get things right in this precious moment!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going." (Ecclesiastes 9:10 NKJV). ________________________________ Every living soul with his/her right senses live his/her life with hope of a better future. Men will not but continue to try all they can to improve with the aim of getting better in every facet of life. Nevertheless, the desires, dreams and aspiration of several men will come to an abrupt end in the course of making effort to achieve their aims. Many have died while embarking on a business trip; some through sickness, disaster, epidemic, terminal diseases as well as minor or major accident be it at home or within their locality. A man on the sick bed in the hospital is there with the hope of getting well and to return back to his home; so also a man who embarks on a trip. Death caught several people when they least expected it and most of the time unprepared. We must live our lives having it at the back of our hearts that we have not come to stay on earth and that the loved ones around us will not be always there forever. Lets try as much as possible to make most of every opportunity that comes our way. Don't misuse the grace of having people placed by God around you to provide for you the needed support for the fulfillment of your destiny. Don't wait for another time to serve God, worship Him, repent from your sins and restitute your ways before God and man. The best time is now. Pursue your dreams with the fear of God even as you prepare for eternity with God in view. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Superb Week Ahead!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 19th Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY All men who are operating under the influence of the same spirit are the same. Life in the spirit is what makes a man spiritual and also uniquely differentiate him from other men!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "But I say, walk and live [habitually] in the [Holy] Spirit [responsive to and} controlled and guided by the Spirit]; then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh (of human nature without God)." (Galatians 5:16 AMP). ________________________________ The original plan of God for all mankind is for us to live by the dictates of the Holy Spirit alone. If a man must fulfil his mandate on earth he must live and walk by the Spirit. Many things in the life of a man or woman living according to the flesh is the same. It takes the influence of the Spirit of God for a man to live a regenerated life. Each time you find an adulterous man who is not faithful to his spouse and jumping from one woman to another like someone looking for what is not missing but yet not looking for it in the right location; you have seen a natural man. This sinful trait when given the required space to manifest will show itself just the same way in the life of other men irrespective of their tribe, belief and profession. Whenever you hear people say all men are the same what they are saying is that what they manifest is identical through the same Spirit and Lord. There is nothing you can gain from this world without godliness. You can never be a blessing to your world without the presence of God in your life. The blessedness and uniqueness of your life will only manifest through the fruit of the spirit (Gal 5:22). Submit yourself always to the leading of the Holy Spirit in every matter and every issue of life. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Wonderful Worship Experience!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 18th Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The commitment of a man to his words with respect to his lifestyle determines his integrity. A life built on falsehood can never produce the righteousness of God!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one." (Matthew 5:37 NIV). ________________________________ A life is right when it produces the righteousness of God. Whatever does not pass the test of God's righteousness; no matter how godly it appears; is not from God. Your lifestyle is registered in the heart of men. The level of your faith, integrity and discipline is not hidden from them. They are actually born out of your character whether consciously or unconsciously. Man by nature will always want to defend himself. In the course of self defence men try to swear using something sacred to prove themselves right. Today men swear using different means like regular church attendance, engaging in various activities, godly appearance, speaking spiritual languages and so on; yet living a life contrary to God's will. You are faithful, righteous and godly if and only if men are seeing you the way God sees you. Are you in a relationship, courtship, friendship, partnership; let your yes be yes, if you are so sure God is saying yes to it. In your marital relationship be faithful to your spouse and be committed to your marital vow. Don't give room to distractions and strangers in your heart; let your yes be yes and your no be no. Also, be faithful to your job, church, nation and every domain you find yourself. Don't hide under the disguise of any act of spirituality. Falsehood is not from God; therefore, always present yourself the way you are before men; in this way the required spiritual help will come your way. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Splendid Weekend!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 17th Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY There is a measure of God in the life of every man created by God. There is no other way to establish the Kingdom of God in any domain than to appreciate the true virtue of God in the lives of men!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers." (Ephesians 4:29 NKJV). ________________________________ Every man created by God is fearfully and wonderfully made. You are created with special virtue to beautify your world. In the actual sense, what the earth turns out to be today; is not the original plan of God. Men became evil when they submitted themselves to will of the evil one. Each time a man does what is good; it is actually God in Him. The Lord is the author of all good things. Therefore, try as much as possible to appreciate and acknowledge any good virtue in the lives of men. It is another way of appreciating the good God. The Lord Jesus Christ on many occasions commended the deeds of men. "When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, "Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is nothing false"." (John 1:47). He also commended the faith of the Centurion; "When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel"." (Luke 7:9). It is not as if the men He commended were perfect but He at least appreciated something good in their lives, which was able to encourage them and those at the scene. Don't join the ministry of condemnation; it is not of you to condemn any man. Your responsibility is to attend to various short comings in your life. Appreciate what is good; encourage and motivate someone to follow the Lord for the rest of his/her life. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Gracious Friday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 16th Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY You have not spoken the truth until you have spoken what God has said. What guarantees your salvation is the fact that you have believed what God has said!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Let God be true, and every man a liar. As it is written: "So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge"." (Romans 3:4b NIV). ________________________________ Everything that exists came into being just because of what the Lord has said and nothing will ever be without His words (John 1:1-5). The authenticity of the words of men is subject to that of God. Irrespective of what you feel about your life with respect to your present experience spiritually, maritally, financially, academically etc; does not change the view and what God feels about you. The Lord has spoken in His words concerning sin, worldliness and every works of the flesh. He has a pre-defined verdict concerning those who give themselves to them. No matter the assurance you have about your life on the account of the words of men the fact still remains that the words of the Lord over you remains true. There are several men with different types of gift on the pulpit (platform to reach out to men be it in Church, media or social media) today speaking, preaching and teaching men but not representing God in His fullness. They are not speaking the words of God but motivating and inspiring men in the direction of their own vision and aspiration. They have gift but lack character due to the fact that they love money, fame and worldly pleasure. They are liars just like the devil who is their father. They will be rejected on the last days despite the fact that they use the name of the Lord to carry out their activities (Matt 7:23). Submit yourself to the true word of God which is waiting to prevail over all mankind at the judgment bar (Titus 2:11-13). Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Inspired Thursday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 15th Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Your nature, desire and ultimate goal determines what people will bring your way and the manner of their approach towards you!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "The Ziphites went to Saul at Gibeah and said, "Is not David hiding on the hill of Hakilah, which faces Jeshimon?" So Saul went down to the Desert of Ziph, with his three thousand chosen men of Israel, to search there for David." (1 Samuel 26:1-2 NIV). ________________________________ Despite the fact that it is very difficult to know the real content of a man's heart the fact still remains that the fruit he bears is quite obvious to men. You cannot deny the fact that some people atleast know your core values and what you live for. They are not ignorant of your strength as well as your weakness. Therefore, people will always tap from your strength and also exploit your weakness. In the bible verse above the Ziphites knows the desire of King Saul. They know that the news of David's where about is what King Saul wants to hear. They also understand the fact that he can give just anything if that will occassion the death of David. However, all the attempts he made was just like chasing after the winds. When the Pharisees sought to crucify Jesus; they found Judas to be a useful instrument among other disciples because of his lifestyle. Your integrity, faith, values and virtues are not hidden from men. They understand how far your faith can go and your level of compromise. How cheap are you to unbelievers? How much do you fall for every act of unrighteousness? Who are your friends? What confidence does God over your life? It is true that you are a Christian! With absolute consideration to your lifestyle; Will you at the end of the day make eternity with God? Think about these things! Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Splendid Wednesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 14th Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The beautiful companion of your life along the pathway of destiny as you follow God as the Shepherd of your soul is goodness and mercy!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever." (Psalms 23:6-6 KJV). ________________________________ Goodness and mercy are among the most important things you need as you proceed on the pathway of destiny. The goodness of the Lord in your life serves as a proof to the fact that the Lord is good. Therefore, you have to believe God to enjoy the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living by the virtue of God's mercy. You have to follow the Lord who is the shepherd of our lives to locate the hidden treasure of this life put in place for us. Mercy is a special companion that must not but go with you in life. It is meant to single you out in every situation either for honour or out of every terrible situation of life. It takes the mercy of God to get what money cannot buy. When the grace is made available for you by the virtue of His mercy everything takes the proper shape. You need mercy above every other things in life. This is what you need to enjoy every other blessing of God as you move on in life. If a man is still a living soul and in good health, having peace on every side; it a product of His mercy. Submit yourself to God. Allow Him to be the shepherd of your life. Walk along with Him as He leads you on in life. In this way He will bring to perfection every situation of your life by the virtue of his mercy and goodness following your life. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Wonderful Tuesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 13th Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Your life is a work in progress in the hands of God. It is the ultimate joy of the Lord to bring into perfection every situation of your life!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "The LORD will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands." (Psalms 138:8 NKJV). ________________________________ The Lord our creator who designed everything including our destinies is the only one who determines what is perfect at a particular point in time. He is the almighty who makes all things beautiful at their own time. When Jesus was crucified on the cross of calvary; it was so grievous to His disciples and those who loved; but to God, it was a different case entirely. He saw it as a process of perfecting His purpose over the entire human race on earth. It is not of us to define what is perfect about our lives but of God who created us to fulfill a definite purpose on earth. There is a picture of what you actually want to be in life, there is a joy you earnestly desire; the Lord will surely bring you into it in His own way at the very appointed time. Nevertheless, you cannot deny the fact that God has done something wonderful in your life. Therefore, your life is a work in progress. The life you have today is an evidence of the fact that He is not yet through with you. Your best is yet to come. Irrespective of the way you look like in every aspect of life don't be discouraged nor give up on the plans of God for your life. As a clay in the hands of the potter so you are in His hands. The Lord will never give up on you until your life conforms to the desired image of His intended purpose for your life. You only need to submit yourself to allow Him to work in you to do His good pleasure. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Exceptional Week Ahead!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 12th Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY God has a pre-defined standard that cannot be compromised. If a man must enter the Kingdom of heaven his righteousness must exceed living to please men, seeking self and human justification as well as the ovation of men!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:20 NIV). ________________________________ Righteousness at any level is defeated if the act of a man will not glorify God who created all things for His own exclusive glory. It is not enough to appear righteous; God who knows and sees the real motive in the heart of men is the only one who determines the real act of righteousness. The principle seen in both the scribes and the Pharisees is that they engaged in several religious activities for their own praise and honour. Their lives was characterised by greed, hypocrisy and wickedness. They don't practice what they teach and place heavy burden on men for their own self interest. Also, they focus more on what men will say about them than God's recommendation and approval. Thank God for your life and the qualities you exhibit before men. Thank God for your belief and everything you do for God. You will only be regarded as a righteous man if all you do is for God's glory. This is what we see in Christ Jesus the author and the finisher of our faith. He did everything to the Glory of His Father. If you must be a heir of the kingdom you must resemble Him in His attributes. Put away every eye service, greed, hypocrisy, selfish interest and submit to God in total obedience to His will. Always allow the Lord to take exclusive glory over your life in everything you do. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Glorious Worship Experience!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 11th Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The only available option in every situation of life that left no option for you is to praise God the author and the Lord of our destinies!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised"." (Job 1:20-21 NIV). ________________________________ As we proceed on the pathway of destiny we cannot but be faced with various times and seasons with respect to various life challenges. Irrespective of who you are and the resource at your disposal the fact still remains that there is something you are looking up to God for. What actually verifies that you are still living; is the fact that you still live in anticipation of a better tomorrow. The hope for better days ahead is what makes life beautiful. Live your life having this assurance that things will get better praising the eternal God for the gift of life. Whatever the case maybe with you the fact still remains that God is fair. Though it is very difficult to accept the fact that He is fair most especially when you are faced with terrible situation of life or when you look around and see the wonders you earnestly desire in the life of others. Despite all what happened to Job; he saw himself as a product of privilege and worshipped God. Irrespective of your experience; worship and acknowledge Him as the Almighty. Don't give room to unbelief but keep your faith alive in Him alone. With God on your side there is a way in every dead end. Let us all worship the Lord at all times at least for what He has done so far, who He is and what he will do in our lives. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Terrific Weekend!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 9th Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY A Man is wicked when he has no space for the prince of peace in his heart. The peace of a man is only guaranteed when he submits to the will of God!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "But the wicked are like the tossing sea, which cannot rest, whose waves cast up mire and mud. "There is no peace", says my God, "for the wicked"." (Isaiah 57:20-21 NIV). ________________________________ When a man begins to struggle against the will of God in his heart; he is actually preparing ground for wickedness. There is no other way to have peace in life than to allow the prince of peace to take pre-eminence in your life. The act of wickedness disturbs the peace in the heart of man. The manifestation of various works of flesh is regarded as wickedness before God. This is what the people in the days of Noah manifested that led to their destruction. Sodom and Gomorrah was also destroyed as well for the same act of wickedness. The attitude of God toward wickedness remains the same even in His unlimited Grace and Mercy. Is there not unforgiveness in your heart? Evil will never depart from the life of a man who is planning evil, praying evil, expecting evil towards another man irrespective of the offence or the grievance caused by such. Allow the peace of God to rule in your heart so that the root of bitterness will have no place. What ever steals your peace is a potential act of wickedness. Listen always to the voice of the prince of peace who says; Love not the world; Godliness with contentment is a great gain. Forgive those who offends you. Eye for an eye, tooth for tooth is not of me. Rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn; don't give room to greed in your heart. Love even your enemies and seek the Kingdom of God in all situation. In this way, you will have peace. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Peaceful Thursday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 7th Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The ultimate requirement of a man in every challenge of life, if he will not be consumed, is the presence of God. All your experience as a child of God is actually a buildup to the revelation of His Glory!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "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. Then Moses said, "I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn."" (Exodus 3:2-3 NKJV). _____________________________ In Isa 43:2; the Lord made it know to His people that they will be faced with various situations of life that looks like water, river and fire. However, He promised to be with us in those situations for our preservation. Everything you are passing through is a buildup to your miracle. Men are having a close watch over your life waiting to see what your life will eventually turn out to be. For a man who dwells under the shadow of the almighty he will rather show forth the glory of God. Despite all what Apostle Paul went through his testimony was that : "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body." (2 Corinthians 4:7-10). Even you also will have a similar testimony if you abide in Him. People will definitely turn to see the great wonders of God in your life asking questions in great awe. Therefore, to remain strong and grow stronger even in the midst of life challenges you must abide in Him. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Superb Tuesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 6th Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Every blessing of God in the life of a man is made up of both consumables and seeds. There is no other way to prepare for the future than to sow your seed!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "CAST YOUR bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days." (Ecclesiastes 11:1 AMP). _____________________________ Every river has a source. A river can never be fresh without flowing unto others. You are not a fulfillment until your life through its virtue flows into other lives. God in His principle gave man an important task of creating other things after the ones He created. The instruction He gave is that man should "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. However, it takes a seed to be fruitful. If you must fulfill purpose in life you must not eat your seed. Similarly, when the Lord put the man in the garden of eden, He did not allow him to eat everything in it. He told him not to eat the fruit at the centre of the garden if he wants to live; that he will die whenever he eats it. He did this to teach him obedience by principle so that he may learn that he is not expected to eat everything that comes his way. The reason why we have varieties of food today is because the people that came in contact with them for the very first time were disciplined enough not to eat everything but planted some portion in preparation for the coming days. Most of the ideas we have today were borne out of the ones transfered to us by those who have gone ahead of us. There is nothing you have that is not given to you. We are created to be a blessing to our world and to provide lasting legacies that will be a source of Joy to many generations. The best way to pray for God for blessing is to say "Bless me that I may bless my world", "Speak to me that I may speak". Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Blessed Week Ahead!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 5th Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The nature of your heart is the true representation of your personality. Your heart must be pure if you must see God in every aspect of life!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." (Matthew 5:8 NIV). _____________________________ The blessing exclusively reserved for those who are pure in heart is that they will always see God in every area of their lives. When a man appears the way he is before men without any form of adulteration he will always see God coming to his aid. "To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless, to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd." (Psalms 18:25-26 NIV). As we proceed on the pathway of destiny we must always remember the fact that God is omniscience, Omnipresent and Omnipotent. He created and builds all things. Therefore, nothing is hidden from Him. The motive behind everything you do is not hidden from Him. Why are you in the service of the Lord? What do you want to achieve with your consecration and sacrifice ? You will only see God if they are born out of a pure heart in total submission to God. Are you in a business, relationship, career, profession, partnership and the likes? If God will be involved to bless you; it must be out of a pure heart. In dealing with you; God looks directly into your heart and respond to you accordingly. Men by nature will always want to experience the Kingdom of God in every aspect of life. However, the fullness of His power and influence will only be felt when we choose to walk on the path of righteousness and in the newness of life. In Addition, after this life, Only those who have a pure heart will see God. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Refreshed Worship Experience!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 4th Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY To be happy in life is exclusively by choice. Irrespective of your experience in life you must learn to place your hope in God and appreciate Him in the beauty of his Holiness!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil- this is the gift of God." (Ecclesiastes 3:12-13). _____________________________ No matter the situation you find yourself in life always have it at the back of your mind that God is fair; He is righteous and holy. He did not create a man who has everything at a particular point in time. You don't need to fret yourself because of what you don't have that you think you need at this very point in time. Life is characterised by various change in season. This serves as an evidence to the fact that things can still change for you in the positive direction. Don't allow the devil to rejoice or take glory over your life. Don't allow Him to make you give up on His promises over your life. Always appreciate who He is knowing fully well that by the virtue of His mercy things will turn around for you. Therefore, be happy, try as much is possible to enjoy each moment. Allow God to work in you to be contemted with who you are even as you improve and get better in every aspect of life. "Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, gladden yourselves in Him]; again I say, Rejoice!" (Philippians 4:4). "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." (Romans 12:12). If the Lord had done something wonderful for you in the past then He is fair to you. Irrespective of the situation around your life appreciate God even as look forward to Him to turn your situation around. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Wonderful weekend!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 2nd Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY When a man becomes born again that is when he will begin to see the Kingdom of God!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."" (John 3:3 NKJV). ________________________________ God is powerful, wonderful, awesome, glorious, gracious, marvellous and faithful. The real attributes of God can only be seen in the domain of His reign. To understand and have an experience of the real personality of God you must be born again. Many men engage in several religious activities but never at any point in time experience God. The knowledge they have about Him does not go beyond what they are told or read in the scriptures. They, at one time or the other accepted Him in response to the good news they heard but ignored His principle to walk in their own way. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." (John 1:12-13). If you have truly accepted Him that implies that you have accepted Him in His way of life and principles. This qualifies and enables you to be a child of God. It also gives you the required understanding about spiritual things. Each time you see people behaving irrationally, living in sin and fail to submit to God's will; what happened is that they have not seen the kingdom of God. If the things of God is still boring to you and you still find it very difficult to abandon your sinful lifestyle you are not born again and the power of God that transforms a man is yet to find a place in your life. If you must see God both in life and eternity you must be born again. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Splendid Thursday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? Happy New Month ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 1st Of June 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Being blessed is not a matter of having money or several possession of life but gaining God's approval in everything in a bid to dwell in His terrain peacefully. The kingdom of God is exclusively for those who earnestly have desire for it!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:3 NIV). ________________________________ If a man must experience the kingdom of God, he must be poor in the spirit. Being poor in the spirit is regarded as intense desire for God as a show of lack of capability to carrying out every divine assignment. It takes being poor in the spirit to seek and do God's will in every aspect of life. Don't be eaten up by wealth of experience, wonderful virtues, peoples' recommendation and your excellent performance in various aspect of life. You are required to wake up on daily basis with intense desire to have more of God in your life. In this way, fresh grace in the domain of the eternal King will be made available for greater exploit. The man called Samson took the grace of God for granted. He toiled with sin until his glory turned to shame. He kept faith in the gift of God over his life rather than the giver. I don't know how far you have gone in life or even your achievement; the best is yet to come. Approach every situation of life having an orientation that you have not arrived. Seek the help of God to humble yourself before him. The Lord will only come to the aid of a man who acknowledge his needs and incapability before Him. Don't gamble with any issue of your life; you need more of God with every rising and setting of the sun in every choice you make. A man is not considered blessed until he dwells within the perfect will of God for his life. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Blessed Wednesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 31st Of May 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Worries and various anxieties of life are born out of our needs in the future. Casting your cares on the Lord will always present to you fresh hope for glorious future!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew 6:34 NIV). ________________________________ What do you think about a man who couldn't sleep at night just because there is nothing his wife and five children would eat in the following morning? What type of Joy will fill his heart if someone should knock at his door in the morning bringing food stuff to him at no cost? Irrespective of what your feelings maybe about life the fact still remains that your life is not yours. It is all about God who rules in the affairs of men. Your night may be filled with tears but a resounding Joy awaits you in the morning. It is good that you live today with the hope of a glorious future rather than living today with the fear of the future. If you must think about your future; you have to do that with God in view. The rich fool in a bid to prepare for his future gathered several things for himself not knowing he was doing that for people he doesn't even know. He would have prepared for eternity. The future belongs to God alone. Don't kill yourself over various uncertainties of life. The only thing that is certain is God who holds tomorrow. Living your life today seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness brings Him to your aid at every time of needs. Travel on with patience, trusting only in God to perfect everything concerning you. Like the children of Israel your Red sea will part and your river Jordan will dry off to provide for you the required access into your glorious inheritance. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Superb Tuesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 30th Of May 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY There is either life or death in every choice you make. You will not but always find yourself between two counsel at every point in time; however, your choice (life or death) determines your experience!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live" (Deuteronomy 30:19 NIV). ________________________________ Every counsel made available to you at every point in time can either lead to death or life. Man is created to make choices. The Lord after creating the man, gave him the power to choose what he wants to be. You will always have a choice even in every situation that seems to leave for you no choice. Every life's situation will always present an opportunity to do what is right in the direction of God's will for you. When you turn towards God that is when you are making the right choice. Every counsel tailored towards taking you away from God's will is from the devil. When the prodigal son left the father with several wonderful resources; he couldn't sustain it because he took the path that led to destruction. Everything in his possession degenerated with time. He came to a point where he made an effective decision. He chose to live by turning toward the father instead of dying. You don't have to die since abundant life is readily available for you. How long will you continue in disobedience? The Lord is admonishing you to choose life. The way of the Lord is the way of wisdom. You can save your home, marriage, life, relationship, career, ministry and eternal destiny by making choices in the direction of God's will for your life. You are not living until you respond to the counsel of the Lord. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Glorious Week Ahead!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 29th Of May 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Taking the right counsel in the direction of God's will for your life is enough to deliver you from the consequence of a generational sin!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "What do you people mean by quoting this proverb about the land of Israel: "'The fathers eat sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge'? "As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, you will no longer quote this proverb in Israel. For every living soul belongs to me, the father as well as the son- both alike belong to me. The soul who sins is the one who will die." (Ezekiel 18:2-4 NIV). ________________________________ Many men are suffering just because of the sins of their parent. The very day Adam ate the forbidden fruit in disobedient to God's word; the Lord declared him and the entire human race dead. However, the Lord by the virtue of His mercy counselled him. He told him to work the land if he must eat the fruit from it. He also added that; it will take pain, sorrow and hard labour to multiply both in good things and in child bearing. Also, the devil will be readily available to bruise his heel even as he should also get ready to bruise his head if he wants to move on in life. Hence, the Lord made it a point of duty to always knock on the door of your heart to counsel you to obey His will in a bid to save you from the consequence of sin (Rev 3:20). When King Solomon repented from his sins the Lord transferred the consequence on his children(1King 11:9-13). Rehoboam had the grace to exempt himself from it but took the wrong counsel (1King 12:1-17). The Lord will always make a way out from generational curses by making His will known to men. When he knocks the door of your heart do not hardened your heart. Allow His will to find place in your life. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Exceptional Worship Experience!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 28th Of May 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The quality, soundness and the effectiveness of your children defines your strength as you grow old and feeble. The way you hold the hands of your children will go a long way to determine how they will hold your hands when you take the last few steps of your life!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "As arrows are in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. Happy, blessed, {and} fortunate is the man whose quiver is filled with them! They will not be put to shame when they speak with their adversaries [in gatherings] at the [city's] gate." (Psalms 127:4-5 AMP). ______________________________ Life is characterised by several battles. A man is expected to work for everything he desires in life. Therefore, every man is required to help his children to take their first step in life with the view of facing life's challenges in mind. For example, when a man becomes a president of a nation; his father, mother, siblings, in-laws will become his associates. He becomes a mighty weapon for his entire household. "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." (Proverbs 22:6). Your lifestyle is vital to what your children will learn from you. Our Lord taught about love towards our neighbours, friends, relations and even our enemies. The essence of this is to make love our normal lifestyle without discrimination. If you must train your child it must be in the direction of the fruit of the spirit (Gal 5:21-22). Don't sow the seed of discord, division, hatred, wickedness in the life of your children because as they grow it grows and go on in life with them. Take heed; what goes around comes around. You are expected to be an effective arrow in the hands of your parent; their happiness depends on this more so, your fulfillment in life. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Blessed Weekend!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 27th Of May 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Children are special gifts from God given to a man not by his labour, influence but out of the free will of the Almighty God. It is the most outstanding reward of the Lord among other creation!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward." (Psalms 127:3 AMP). ________________________________ Children are not the product of human labour but an inheritance from the Lord. A man cannot have them if the grace to have them is not made available by God. This makes every man who has at least a child a mere custodian of this wonderful gift. The Lord started the work of creation and gave man the sole responsibility to continue in creating other things. By the virtue of the wisdom given to men by God; several wonderful things came into being; in terms of house, cars, machines and various equipment that makes life easy. Out of all these wonderful things of life, the Lord did not make any man's reward. The fruit of the womb is His reward. Therefore, the devil is not interested in taking your material possessions. In fact, he can give you just anything if you can submit your soul to him. When he attacks what you have he is doing so with the aim of winning your soul. This was what he did to Job. The reason why God decided to give Abraham children is for him to command them to keep the way of the Lord and to do what is just and righteous in a bid to bring to pass what He had spoken concerning him (Gen 18:19). So also, if you have been blessed with this God's heritage; count your blessings and appreciate God knowing fully well that you will give account over the Lord's inheritance at your disposal. The Lord will remember those still yearning for the fruit of the womb and provide the required resource to cater for the needs of the ones given us in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Awesome Friday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 26th Of May 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Dreams, aspirations and desire will only come to pass at the Lord's command. Men will not but always try to build; in the actual sense; God is the builder of everything!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "EXCEPT THE Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; except the Lord keeps the city, the watchman wakes but in vain." (Psalms 127:1 AMP). ________________________________ Jesus made an illustration involving two men who built. One built with absolute regard to God's word while the other did not. On the Long run the man who built with no regard to God's word finally discovered that all his effort was a wasted one; he built nothing. Thank God for who you are as well as your achievements in life. Until the Lord's hand is in what you are doing you are doing nothing. It requires that you seek the Lord in every thing you do due to the fact that everything that existed and will ever exist is by Him (John 1:1-5). Be humble enough to acknowledge the Lord in whatever you do, irrespective of your experience and the resource at your disposal honour the one who builds everything. May you never labour in vain in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Wonderful Thursday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 25th Of May 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY It is a fruitless labour for a man to embark and struggle over things not given to him by God. Success most of the time is not the function of labour but of favour!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "EXCEPT THE Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; except the Lord keeps the city, the watchman wakes but in vain." (Psalms 127:1 AMP). ________________________________ There is a limit to which your labour can carry you in life. Irrespective of what has been put in place for you in life it does not change the fact that it is the Lord who has the final say over every situation of life. No matter how wonderful what a man is doing may appear to be; he is doing nothing until it is done by the virtue of God's support and involvement. Men will not but try to make some things work for themselves; however, it is required for every man to acknowledge the giver of life and the creator of all things. If you did not choose your parent, sex, skin colour, state of origin, height, date of birth, your own children then you must always give the required reverence to God who made you who you are. You don't need to fret over the things you've not been able to achieve so far in life; what you need to be doing is to acknowledge God who rules in the affairs of men even as you continue to put your best in whatever you are doing in the direction of His will for your life. You are required to seek and to reverence Him all the days of your life. Don't allow various tides of this life to catch up with you before you acknowledge your Creator . Life is too precious to be wasted and filled with several mysteries. When grace is made available for you in various aspect of life then your situation becomes simple. The Lord will be merciful unto to you to make grace available for the fulfillment of your destiny in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Fruitful Wednesday!!! |
