Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 6th Of February 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY When Love is at its best the parties involved will always want to have more. No man will ever abandon a place of love!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned." (Song of Songs 8:6-7 NIV). ________________________________ When true love has come to stay every other thing will give way for it. Love is the secret behind every healthy relationship. The best strategy to winning men to yourself is showing love. It is the most important attribute that shows the true nature of God in the life of a man. No matter how terrible and wicked a man is; he can be won through love. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud." (1 Cor 13:4). Keep the flame of love alive in your relationships to make it blissful. It is the plan of God for every mankind to dwell in harmony and that every home should be a prototype of eternal bliss. This will only be possible through Love. The right approach to love is to live with the orientation of what to give in love and not what to get from it. Don't subject your marital relationship to chance but give it what it deserves to make it more interesting. Love is the missing link in every relationship seeking for separation. When love becomes sour the eyes of the parties involved will be open to various shortcomings that will lead to separation. Whatever the case maybe, the secret of living in peace is to be committed to showing love in every relationship you find yourself. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Delightful Weekend!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 5th Of February 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Love is not blind; it only closes the eyes of men. Every wise man will never take love for granted but will rather give it what it deserves to keep its flame alive!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Above all things have intense and unfailing love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins [forgives and disregards the offenses of others]." (1 Peter 4:8 AMP). ________________________________ Life is beautiful when true love becomes the order of the day or the lifestyle of men. A man who cannot overlook the short comings in the lives of men cannot love according to the will of God. The Lord who is the creator of all men is not ignorant of the weakness in the lives of His creation. Therefore, He commanded all men to love one another just to make up with the inadequacies in every individual's life. The fact that we are created for relationship shows that we need to be loved by others to complement our lives. Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs." (1 Cor 13:5). When true love becomes the order of the day, it appears as if it is blind; its flame burns every shortcomings due to its characteristics. However, when taken for granted, the flame dies a natural death and brings every shortcomings to lime light. It is not enough to have a wonderful relationship; you must do everything possible to fan the flame of love to keep it lively. Don't be complacent with various inadequacies in your life but make effort through the help of God to get better in various aspect of life to make your life more attractive to people. God is love; He gave His only son for the remission of our sins. He is still a consuming fire. If you don't want to perish; don't take His love for granted (Jn 3:16). Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Lovely Friday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _____________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 4th Of February 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The devil is less concerned about how glorious the decision of a man may be in his quest to follow God; His ultimate interest is that he doesn't go far in his walk with God to fulfill His good pleasure!!! ***************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Pharaoh said, "I will let you go to offer sacrifices to the LORD your God in the desert, but you must not go very far. Now pray for me." (Exodus 8:28 NIV). ________________________ The sole interest of the devil over all mankind is that they should eventually become his after their pilgrimage on earth. He may not hinder a man from accepting Christ as his Lord and personal Saviour but will never allow him to ever come to the point of sanctification. His christian Journey may appear smooth with several religious activities but with a heart filled with guilt as a results of secret sin. The fact that he speaks spiritual language does not change the fact that he still lives according to the flesh; this is obvious in the sexual immorality, impurity, hatred, discord, jealousy, selfish ambition, envy and the likes which manifest in his life. There is no life without its own master; every man listens to the one who has the ultimate influence in his life. Your lifestyle speaks much on whom your Lord is. Those who truly belong to God hates darkness and walk in light. We are in a generation that loves darkness much more than light. You have to be resolute in your choice and decision to follow the Lord. Don't ever give in to what everybody is doing no matter how promising it may be but be zealous towards the will of God. You cannot but be fanatical in every bid to serving the Lord faithfully in this present age. Every true son of the kingdom resists the devil to establish the Kingdom of God on earth. The Lord will strengthen your heart to follow Him in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Inspiring Thursday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _____________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 3rd Of February 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The only thing that will not come to an end is that which did not begin. The best way to live is to live your entire life with the end in view!!! ********************* BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more." (Psalms 103:15-16 NIV). _____________________________ Various life's situation has proven the fact that there is an end to every thing that begins. It shouldn't be a news to us but a reminder that our end will surely come in various aspect of life with respect to God's plan for our individual lives. "Only a few years will pass before I go on the journey of no return." (Job 16:22). No man can be great forever; several great men have been laid to rest beneath the earth. They disappear just like a mist which appear but for a moment. Don't be carried away by your strength, status, Job, position, intelect and wonderful possessions of life. There are people who used to have what you have and be where you are but today their deeds remains in the memory lane. No matter how busy a man can be, he cannot be too busy to die on the day of His death. At the end of this wicked life of sorrow and vanity we will all face eternity. However, there is a good place beyond the blue; it is called the place of the eternal king; its glorious gate shuts away sins. Things that are filthy can never attend it. Only the meek shall reach its ground; who worship the Lord with reverence and never submit to worldly pleasure. Those who are led by the spirit to walk in the narrow way. Do you think you will make it there? Now that the night shed has not fallen over you make best use of your opportunities to give your best to the Master. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Splendid Wednesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _____________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 2nd Of February 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY If you did not die before now then you are preserved to declare the glory and the works of God. The essence of your existence is to be a bearer of God's glory!!! ********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "I shall not die but live, and shall declare the works and recount the illustrious acts of the Lord." (Psalms 118:17 AMP). _____________________________ Most of the time, it takes a step to be either saved or destroyed on the pathway of destiny. The Lord is actually responsible for every situation called narrow escape. Those who where not saved were the ones whom the Lord did not save. If you have been saved it is for a purpose. The reason why you have the right to live is for you to be a bearer of God's glory. The Lord will not but preserve the life of a man who declares His works. Men have not seen God physically; they don't know if He is either tall or short, white or black. Many don't even believe that He exists. His existence to some people does not go beyond the written pages of the scripture. To some, He remains an abstract entity. People can only know Him if we all take the responsibility to live up to the essence of our creation through showing who He is by resembling Him in His attributes. The presence of thieves, armed men, wicked souls, agent of darkness like witches and wizards creates the awareness of the presence and the effectiveness of the devil in the affairs of life. The Lord is kind, gracious, merciful, powerful, glorious, wonderful, righteous and Holy. You are actually planted where you are to defend these attributes. The whole creation are expecting your manifestation in declaring His works. You are not created to be a devil incarnate but a child of God. Why should you continue to live? Grace to live and declare the Glory of the Lord to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Glorious Tuesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? Happy New Month _______________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 1st Of February 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY A man who knows how to look back to make an account of God's goodness in his life will always find the required strength, hope and courage to face the challenges between him and his glorious future!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits- who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's." (Psalms 103:2-5 NIV). ______________________________ Irrespective of where you are, what you've achieved so far and your aspirations in life; the Lord has been so gracious to bring you this far. You cannot deny the fact that you can at least point out to some things the Lord had done for you. If the Lord should act towards you according to your sins, where will you be? Can you bear the consequence of it? But His mercy is just sufficient to grant you the required pardon you need to live in peace! If you are to examine what is happening to people in the world today; you would have discovered that there are uncountable number of sickness and diseases you don't even know. Those who were the victim of such are not ignorant of them. It was His mercy that kept terrible diseases away from you. The devil through his agent is going to and fro looking for whom to devour on daily basis; it was the Lord who redeemed your life from destruction. There is more to why the Lord kept you till this day; It is not yet over for you in any aspect of your life. The Lord who brought you this far is able to see you through the journey of your life. Magnify the Lord and bless His name; praise Him in the beauty of His Holiness. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Fantastic Month Ahead!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _______________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 31st Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The status of a man can never change the standard and the requirement of God. No man, situation and civilization can change the verdict of God over everyone who continue to live in sin!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God." (Psalms 9:17). ______________________________ God has a standard that cannot be compromised. Despite the fact that God is dynamic in His ways; His will and principles remains the same. Sin no matter how a man presents it; is still a sin with the same consequence. If a man chooses not to abide under the law of grace that is able to prevent him from falling such will utterly end up in hell. Sin acts like the law of gravity; no matter how highly placed a man is, be it spiritually or physically, operating under the influence of sin brings him to the grave. The grace of God made available to us through salvation teaches us to deny ungodliness, worldly lusts and encourages us to live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age," (Titus 2:11-12). One day a man decides to tear away every passage of the scripture that attacks the sins in his life from his own bible just to be at ease with himself. Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity." (2 Timothy 2:19). Irrespective of who you are; the nation that forgets God shall be turned to hell. You are free to believe anything or even run away from a church that speak expressly about your evil deeds the fact still remains that His foundation has a seal. There is nothing you can do to it than just to comply; if you truly want to have any business with your creator. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Inspired Worship Experience!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _______________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 30th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The Positive and the negative hands of men is an important tool in the hand of God to working out His good pleasure in the lives of His children. However, it takes absolute corporation with God's will not to lose out in destiny!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life. So now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt." (Genesis 45:5, 8 NKJV). ______________________________ There are places you won't go, and things you won't do; if life's situation through the hands of men does not push or compel you to do so . The Lord Jesus Christ needed a Judas to be the Lord of all. The early apostles needed persecution to fulfill the desire of God in spreading the Gospel through out the entire world (Act 1: .The men around you have important roles to play in the buildup to fulfilling your destiny. Everyone will not be friendly at the same time. You need both friends and enemies to have a balanced life. Just imagine the boy Joseph in the dry well, as a slave and in the prison. It wasn't a palatable experience for him, but he needed it to fulfill his dream. The Lord will not but make you to have some experiences with men just to teach your hands to war. There are some men who are highly placed whose hands the Lord can use to lift you into the best level He desires for you. You cannot but also need the type. Whatever the case maybe with you, be faithful and be consistent in your obedience to God. This is because the devil has succeeded in using the same hands of men to destroy several destinies. The Lord will bring destiny helpers on your way in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Glorious Weekend!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _______________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 29th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY While still living, make sure you touch as many lives as possible with every resources at your disposal. The beauty of the existence of a man is for his memory not to perish with his departure!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "The memory of the righteous will be a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot." (Proverbs 10:7 NIV). ______________________________ No matter how long we live on earth or in a particular domain the time to leave will surely come. Jesus said: "I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work." (John 9:4). Night is coming over every thing we do at this very point in time. Most things we are doing now will go into the memory lane. There are some structures, principles, works and theories still standing today even when those who initiated them are no more. They lived on just because their works speaks for them in the lives of men. Your remembrance will always speak volume of what you lived or are living for. What makes you a righteous man is your sweet memories in the heart of men. You will only be remembered by what you have done. In Act 9; a woman named dorcas died; her good works made people to weep. They did not only speak about it but also proved it with tangible evidence of her impact in their lives. It is possible that the Lord brought her back to life on the account of the vacuum her life will create in meeting the need of these people. Allow the Lord to work through you to bless your generation. If your life is productive before the Lord, He will always have reasons to guide, protect, bless and promote you. The Lord is having a close watch over your life; His ultimate desire is for you to be an eternal excellence and the joy of many generation. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Impressive Friday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _______________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 28th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Life's experience teaches men the true and the real values of life. You can never make impact or affect your world positively if you are ignorant of the feelings of men!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." (Hebrews 4:15 KJV). ______________________________ The worst any situation can do to any man is to kill him. Jesus died just to overcome death on behalf of all men. He is not ignorant of our experience; this makes Him a perfect High priest for all mankind. You cannot be a correct individual without various life's experience. The Almighty God will not but make us to pass through some life experience just to make us have the required character to carry our future and to live our entire life having the right orientation to living. What you suffer today is tailored towards a future situation and it is also meant to prepare you for coming days. You can't be a good pastor, preacher, teacher without practical life's experience; else your life will completely heretic. You can't be a good father, mother, husband, wife, son or daughter when you have not taken the required responsibility to be one. The life of a man is segmented in seasons; the season of God's favour will not but come your way; when it comes don't forget what life has taught you. Don't forget what it takes to live in penury and to be needy in various aspect of life. Change in season is constant; when you become powerful, don't forget you have a service towards those who are just like you used to be. Whatever the case may be, don't run away from the things you must pass through if you so much desire to be relevant in God's purpose. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Superb Thursday!!! |
Larryfly:We can still ask Him to do just anything for us. He is our father. But we should always wait for Him to do it no matter how pressing our needs may appear to be. |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _______________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 27th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY You cannot believe God to change His time; believing in Him is to believe in His divine timing. Correct faith is the correct believing in the liberty of His time - Gbile Akanni *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favor to her; the appointed time has come." (Psalms 102:13 NIV). ______________________________ Believing God for what He has told you, does not change His divine timing for doing it. Your blessedness in this season is to believe that God sets timetable for his program on earth and follows it. If you having difficulty in believing don't disbelief His words. "And He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" So I answered, "O Lord GOD, You know."" (Ezekiel 37:3). Whenever you come to a point where the case of your life is not very clear to you even in the midst of His promises over your life Just allow Him to have His way. The Lord knows the right time to rise and intervene over any matter. Even when it seems as if time is running out; you must always have it at the back of your mind that He is always right on time and that He is the rightful owner of time. It is permitted for situation of life to appear dead by all standard and evidence; the main fact is that, at the set time, the Lord will take glory over them. The Lord did not stop evil men from throwing Daniel into the lions' den but waited for him right in there. Also, He did not stop the three Hebrews from being thrown into the fiery furnace before proving Himself as the Almighty. In like manner, if you are faithful to Him, He will rise on your behalf at the appointed time of His glory. The Lord will give you the courage and strength to wait patiently for the appointed time of His manifestations in your life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Remarkable Wednesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _______________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 26th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The word "delay" is only relevant in the language of men. Irrespective of what you use to term the situation around your life; the fact still remains that God has an appointed time to work out his good pleasure in the lives of men!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favor to her; the appointed time has come." (Psalms 102:13 NIV). ______________________________ When the set time of your favour comes the Lord will surely rise on your behalf to make things to fall in place. There are some lessons of life you cannot learn by reading books or listening to men of God but through personal life's experience. It is not an act of wickedness on the part of God when it seems as if He is not responding to your prayers. Most times no amount of prayers or tears can change the appointed time of God. He knows the very best for us even though as men we think otherwise. In Gen 15:2-5, Abraham looked around and saw many around him bearing children but he had none; despite his obedience and faithfulness to God. Even at that time, the Lord only reminded him of His promises over his life. What is the situation around your life? It is true there are friends and many others who seems to have gone ahead of you in various aspect of life. Don't be moved, remain in God and keep your faith alive over all His promises over your life. At the set time the Lord will rise to redeem your days. One day of His favour can upturn several years of labour. Some people will surely find it difficult to wait for the set time by God and try their own way of working out things for themselves. These ones will not but miss their time of favour. Be consistent in trusting, believing, hoping and obeying God at every point in time. May you never miss the set time of your favour in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Favoured Tuesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 25th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The courage to face any battle of life is an important pre-requisite to winning life's battle. You cannot but overcome every discouragement to have a remarkable success in every aspect of life!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go (Joshua 1:9 AMP) ________________________________ A man will always need an inner will to take his possessions in life. whatever you have given up in your heart you cannot have except by the mercy of God. False Evidence Appear Real (FEAR) is a weapon in the hand of the devil to discourage men from taking their possessions. He tries to magnify every situation around your life in a bid to stop you from entering the plan of God for your life. Allowing discouragement of any form is a way to give away your blessing. Every man that ever wins in any battle of life is man who overcome fear and discouragement. No good thing of life will come to a man on the bed of roses. Therefore, you are expected to live on in life having an orientation that when the set time comes for you to enter into the plan and the promises of God for you; that is even when the discouragement to move on will be more. Are you tired of following the Lord and doing right on the account of the fact that majority are now doing contrary and it looks as if it does not pays to serve the Lord? Don't be discouraged, stand firm in Him because the time is near(Rom 13:11) Are you getting tired of your marital relationship? Those who lived to enjoy a blissful relationship were the ones who abide to settle their differences and face the challenging issues around them with love! Are you a student, professional, apprentice or a business man? Be courageous to attain your desired success in the direction of God's will for your life. Who should be courageous in life? Is it not the man who wants to experience heaven on earth? The Lord will strengthen our heart to take our possessions in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Booming Week Ahead!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _______________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 24th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The serpent (devil) will not but bruise the heel of a man who fails to bruise his head promptly. Every act of sin attacks the destiny of a man!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her Offspring; He will bruise and tread your head underfoot, and you will lie in wait and bruise His heel." (Genesis 3:15). _______________________________ Living in sin is like playing with the head of a serpent. The great expectation of God for you is to bruise the head of the serpent just like Jesus did as the firstborn among the sons of God (Rom 8:29). "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you." (Luke 10:19). There is no doubt in the fact that you want to fulfill your destiny on earth and also want to make eternity with God. If your destiny will be fulfilled you must continue to bruise the head of the serpent who also keeps watch over your heel to bruise it as you proceed on the pathway of destiny. The enemy laid in wait for Joseph in a bid to stop the fulfillment of His destiny. He was thrown into the dry well, sold into slavery and imprisoned just to hinder the fulfillment of His dreams. They said; they would see what becomes of his dream (Gen 37-20). Right before their eyes his dreams came to pass; not because he was favoured but on the fact that he loved righteousness which qualified him for elevation (Heb 1:9). There is a seed that wins. Every true child of God carries this seed. It was the seed that made Mordecai to prevail over Haman (Esther 6:13). The seed in the life of every man born of God that does not sin (1John 3:9). You are not a victorious christian until you are able to put sin, the world and the devil under your foot. Turn to God in total repentance from all sins. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Inspired Worship Experience!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _______________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 23rd Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The nature of your heart and what you seek in a relationship will determine your marital experience on the pathway of destiny!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "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 make various choices with respect to what we see and the nature of our heart. We cannot dispute the fact that we have our own desire and which we seek in everything we do. However, in every choice we make; we must always seek to find the Lord and walk in the direction of His plans for our lives. It is only in this that we can come to that very expected end that we so much desire (Jer 29:11). Don't be ignorant of the fact that the man or woman you marry will be a life long companion. Hence, the need to be careful in every aspect of marital choice. As a female, what to look for in the life of a man to marry is not his face, financial status, Job, influence or his present but his vision and purpose for living. His purpose determines the pivot that controls his life while his vision determines what he sees and where he is going in life. As a male, what to look for in a woman is not her face, shape, academic qualification and other wonderful qualities of life but her arm. Her arm signifies the degree of her acceptability. How much can she accept and be friendly with your purpose, vision, destination, your people and your God (Ruth 1:16). How much can she accept a seed into her spiritual womb to produce offsprings in various aspect of life. Whatever you seek in a relationship, that you will surely get! However, the Joy you so much desire is in the will of God for your life. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Delightful Weekend!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _____________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 22nd Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Every choice you make in your marital destiny will go a long way to determine your experience. A man who will enjoy the reward of his labour and be happy in life must always learn to make deliberate choice to live joyfully with his wife! *********** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "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 9:9 NIV). _______________ The happiness of every man and woman depends on the joy he/she derives from living joyfully with his spouse. Your spouse is your best companion. The only one who have actually come to stay in your life. You will surely come in contact with several wonderful people in life but with a short term relationship with respect to time. It is a total act of foolishness to neglect your wife or husband on the basis of comparison with the so called wonderful people be it in your working place or various locations in life. Irrespective of whatever you think about him/her, it does not change the fact that he/she is your own lot in the land of the living. Therefore, every wise man empowers his wife and every woman supports her own husband to make it in life. Whatever you do in his/her life will determine the benefits you will derive or enjoy either in short or long run. You are not expected to share the exclusive right of your spouse with other people. No matter how wonderful your relationship with other people may be, don't forget that you will have every reason to go back to him/her. The choice of a blissful marital relationship is in your hand. Obey the Lord by yielding yourself to the laid down principles guiding every successful marital destiny in His words. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen! Have a Blissful Friday! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 21st Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY You need total commitment to love constantly. The real proof of every true love is sacrifice!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would offer all the goods of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned and despised." (Song of Solomon 8:7 AMP). ________________________________ Love is the bed rock of every successful relationship. It is the most important virtue that keeps the fire of every passion alive. When a man is slack in his commitment towards something, the missing link is love. Naturally a man will give just anything to whatever he is passionately inclined to. When you are truly in love with something you will not be too big or busy to seek for such. It is actually the basis of life and what to look for to validate the presence of God in the life of a man. The attribute called love distinguishes itself from lust in that it is patient, kind, not self-seeking, not easily angered, not rude, it does not delight in evil nor keep record of wrong doings (1Cor 13:4-7). To be a balanced individual we must love and be loved. Your commitment to love can never be complete without sacrificial giving. Be a giver and not a liability; don't allow your relationship with men to be parasitic. Don't be like those men who only remember certain people when they have problems that such people can solve for them. You are expected not to treat any relationship like a ladder on which you only need to climb to attain a height and throw away afterwards. However, treat every relationship like a living young plant which needs to be nurtured to grow to maturity. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Lovely Thursday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 20th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Irrespective of the condition around your life; you must always understand that the Almighty God is the only hope to the hopeless. His graciousness is shown in His ability to beautify the life of a man beyond what he can ever think!!! ************************ 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 NIV). ________________________________ To use your present life's condition as a basis to project what your future holds is a way to limit the plan of God for you. If you can wait upon Him over every situation of your life; you will live to testify to the fact that many things He will eventually do for you has not even entered your mind(Isa 64:4). Situation of life tends to present hopelessness with a very clear evidence in the presence of various limitation of man. Have you suffered any kind of loss in life or resources in the time past in your life? What you stand to gain in God is the recovery of whatever you have lost. Your destiny can never be aborted if you abide in God. In our text, Jacob had lost every hope over his son Joseph because he has mourned his death already(Gen 37:33-35). But the Lord in His graciousness did not only make him to see Joseph but also his children. This is a typical example of what God can do in the life of a man who remains in Him. Maybe you have also mourned over some situation of your life. If only you will believe and patiently wait upon the Lord to work out His good pleasure; your dead Joseph will also resurrect with several goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. The Lord will revive your hope in every area of your hopelessness with mighty miracles in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Miraculous Wednesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 19th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY What makes the will of God difficult for men is the fact that it brings men to the end of themselves. A man who has not come to the end of himself can never do or submit to God's will!!! @********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways", declares the LORD." (Isaiah 55:8 NIV). ________________________________ There is a wide gap between the ways of God and that of men. Irrespective of how wonderful the virtue in the life of a man may appear to be; it does not change the fact that he has several limitations in various aspect of life. The Lord who is the creator of all men understands and knows all our weakness as humans. His desire for us is that we should live above various limitations attached to our individual lives. This will only be possible if we surrender our lives to do the will of God. Men by nature will always want to be smart in every bid to get whatever they need and also make various attempt to work out things for themselves. However, no man can outrun God no matter how hard he tries to do so. Whatever you desire in life is embedded in the will of God for you in various aspect of life. The author of your destiny is the only One who knows what is truly best for you. A man who really wants to experience the kingdom of God in the affairs of his life must surrender all his desire and live his life to always conform to God's will. The best way to live even in the presence of all the wonderful virtues of your life is to allow the Lord to prevail over you and have His way at every point in time in all affairs of your life. The Lord will strengthen your heart to submit to His will all the days of your life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Wonderful Tuesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 18th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The true beauty of a man's life is the Glory of God. The devil and his agents can only take their place to perform their enterprise in the life of a man whenever the Glory of God departs from his life!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "HOW THE gold has become dim! How the most pure gold has changed! The hallowed stones [of the temple] are poured out at the head of every street. The noble and precious sons of Zion, [once] worth their weight in fine gold--how they are esteemed [merely] as earthen pots or pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!" (Lamentations 4:2 AMP). ________________________________ Righteousness exalts a nation just because it brings God's intervention over any issue in the life of men but sin is a reproach because it keeps God away from a man's life. Each time the devil succeeds in His enterprise in the life of a man; he turns his glory to shame, his strength to weakness and every honour to disgrace. When you begin to dance to the tune of the devil over your life; you are definitely heading towards destruction. Every normal human being grows up having a dream of a glorious future. However, several dreams remain a dream just because the devil was able to cut it short through various works of the flesh and agent of darkness. The ultimate plan of God for your life is that your light should remain on the candle stick to reflect His Glory. You are created to be a salt to season your world and not to be trampled upon like the one that has lost its saltiness nor like a preserved precious stones poured on the street. Your glory is not a function of your physical possessions alone but the presence of God in your life. Take the rightful place in God to fulfill the essence of your creation. Your Glory will never turn to shame in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Outstanding Week Ahead!!!Good Morning!

Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 17th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Every wise man who has a golden heritage or a divine destiny to protect will never give room to the devil. An enterprise by the devil in the life of a man will always leave an evil indelible mark in his life!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "HOW THE gold has become dim! How the most pure gold has changed! The hallowed stones [of the temple] are poured out at the head of every street. The noble and precious sons of Zion, [once] worth their weight in fine gold--how they are esteemed [merely] as earthen pots or pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!" (Lamentations 4:2 AMP). ________________________________ Whenever you sight evil of any kind; you have seen the works of the devil because God does no evil. The devil is ready to do anything to strip you of God's glory. The people of God who use to put the devil under their feet are now living under the oppression of the same devil on the account of sin. The sacred temple which was an abode of God's presence now a place where even the sinners take charge to laugh to scorn. If you have experienced God before now; how did the gold become dim! Where are the signs and wonder expected to follow those who belief? Why do men still think they are still under curse when the words of the Lord affirmed the fact that old things have passed away? The comedian now takes over most pulpit. When last do you listen to a message that convict your soul of your wrong doing? Or can you say your life is perfectly Okay? Are you not an antagonist to a righteous and a holy life? There is no other evil that can befall a man like the one that strip him of the Glory of God. It is time to stop bearing Ichabod as a name in God's presence. Examine your life and turn to God to restore His Glory in your life. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Refreshed Worship Experience!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 16th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY What you don't want to loose you can never have. Every man is expected to live with the orientation that sacrifice is required for rendering every service!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "CAST YOUR bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days." (Ecclesiastes 11:1 AMP). ________________________________ Every man created by God is created for service. The fulfillment of your purpose in life is embedded in the service you render. What goes around will always come around so they say. Just as it is expected of you to serve; you will also be served. If there are those in need of your service, it is an indication that you will also need the service of others be it in a short run or in the long run. In life, there is will always be different times and season for everything on earth. The opportunity to sow into your future will surely come at various times and in different dimension. When it comes; always know that every act of sowing is more or less like losing something. It will surely cost you something and can even demand your tears(Ps 126:5-6). It takes a sacrificial heart to sow a seed. Therefore, you can't have more of what you don't want to lose. Make effort to always play an important role in the life of every man you come across in life. You can't even tell what the next moment hold for you and what the experience of your children will be. Don't be weary in doing good to people; that may be the prayer you need to buy a wonderful future for yourself and your wards. Whatever you sow will definitely come back to you in a multiple fold even at the time you least expected it. Be an extended hand of the almighty God to every living soul in your immediate contact. The Lord will strengthen our heart to sow into our future through blessing our world in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Blessed Weekend!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ____________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 15th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY No act of bitterness can work out righteousness in the life of a man. A lowly and forgiving heart precedes every open heaven! ***************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many." (Hebrews 12:14-15 NKJV). ___________________ Despite the fact the Lord is strongly interested in our relationship with Him; he places much value on our relationship with men. He takes much pleasure in men dwelling in harmony among one another. You are more or less an hypocrite if you claim to love or be at peace with God and you have issues with your fellow man. The Lord said if you must worship Him, bring gift to Him or come to His presence for any reason you must be at peace with all men (matt 5:23-24). What makes you the son of God is the fact that you love peace (matt 5:9). Your relationship with men is an important pre-requisite which validates how holy or righteous you are. Offence cannot but come when it comes to relationship among men, however, if you so much desire to be always accepted in God's presence at every point in time you must be a peacemaker and always allow the love of the Lord to reflect in you. The will of God for every man is to forgive all offenders and to let go of every offences. If your life will operate under open heaven you must learn to be like Jesus in the act of forgiveness. Stephen took after Jesus and prayed for those who stoned him even at the point of death. The aftermath was the emergence of Apostle Paul. Don't miss the grace of God; allow the peace of God to remove every bitterness in your heart; take a step to reconcile with anyone having issues against you. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen! Have a Splendid Friday! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _____________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 14th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Every attack against your life is actually an attack against your dreams. Your fulfillment in life is a function of how much you bring your vision to pass in the direction of God's will for your life!!! ******************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Then they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming! "Come therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say, "Some wild beast has devoured him." We shall see what will become of his dreams!" (Genesis 37:19-20 NKJV). ____________________________ There are several dreams which remains a dream just because the enemy fought it hard to stop them from coming to pass. We must not be ignorant of the fact that there are vision killers and those who study your life carefully wanting to know what becomes of your dreams. For this very purpose the devil and his agent manifest to steal, kill and destroy whatever will bring about the fulfillment of your dreams. We must be conscious of this fact so as not give him the required space he needs to perform his enterprise in our lives. Joseph on the account of His dreams was thrown into a dry well, tempted as a slave and imprisoned. However, the devil was unable to stop his dreams from coming to pass just because he chose to always be on the Lord's side at every point in time. Your dreams can only be secured in God alone. There is no other way to be careless with your life than to be living your life contrary to the will of God for you at every point in time. You must always and carefully obey Him so as to dwell in the secret place and under the shadow of the Almighty. Securing your dreams is not about being smart, industrious or determined alone but also to live to please God in whatever you do. Your destiny will not fail and your dreams will not be aborted in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Fulfilled Thursday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 13th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The life of a man is segmented by various times and season. Enjoy and make best use of your opportunities while it lasts!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Suddenly there came up out of the river seven cows, fine looking and fat; and they fed in the meadow. Then behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, ugly and gaunt, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the river. And the ugly and gaunt cows ate up the seven fine looking and fat cows." (Genesis 41:2-4a NKJV)." ______________________________ Life has proven over the time that things will not always be the same way. The graph of life is not straight. The Lord will always allow some things to happen to men just to remind them of the fact that this earth is not their permanent abode. In this life, we have seen people who used to be rich, anointed, great, powerful, influential and having several wonderful virtues. The greatness of many men have become history even in their life time! In our text the seven fat cows represent days of opportunities while the seven ugly and gaunt cows represent days of life challenges meant to validate how much you made best use of your opportunities. Looking around you at this point in time you may be tempted to think that some things can never come your way. That is a lie from the pit of hell. Many who thought they could never be poor in life are now living in abject poverty. Every man will surely have his own days of opportunity. Life is a mystery; now that you have the opportunity of having various resources at your disposal; invest into your future, help those who seek help from you, serve the Lord with what you have. Don't neglect the day of salvation and live for the course of the Lord; fulfilling the purpose of your creation. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Fruitful Wednesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? _________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 12th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY In every quest to follow God or do His will, there will always be hindrance, resistance and discouragement. Every wise man will follow and do His will irrespective of the cost involved in doing so!!! **************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Hebrews 12:1-2 NKJV). ______________________ Have you ever wondered why the path which leads to heaven is a narrow path and why people love to tread the wide path that leads to destruction? There is no other reason than the fact that it is very difficult to follow and do the will of God. A man that will do the will of God must have overcome sin, self and worldliness. The devil is always available to stop you from entering into the rest prepared by God for you. Your self interest, desire and ambition is a major resistance to who the Lord wants you to be. It will never be easy for any man to follow Him until he denies himself to live for the one who died for our sins. We have various witnesses around us; those who were tempted, beaten and rejected in their quest to follow God and do His will (Heb 11:1-end). They held on to doing God's will even if it will take their lives. Therefore, at this time, we have no excuse; our experience is not different from theirs. Let us keep aside every hindrance and run with patience to win the race set before us. Be wise to always follow and do the will of God irrespective of your experience in life. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Inspired Tuesday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 11th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Anything is possible when mercy speaks. Everything that fails actually lacks God's mercy!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "O GIVE thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy {and} loving-kindness endure forever." (Psalms 136:1 AMP). ________________________________ The Lord is the pillar behind everything that works in life. If you are reading this at the moment. It is an indication that many things have worked in your life. Whatever the case may be with you, It does not change the fact that the Lord is good. You are the work of His hands and can never leave nor forsake you. Everything you are and what you will be is a product of His mercy. He is everything to you. All other things of life may not be compulsory but not God. Despite the fact that you will not but take responsibility in playing your part to achieve whatever you desire in life; the fact still remains that your life must operate at His mercy. He is the creator of the universe who rules over the affairs of men. Give thanks to the Lord of Lords who brought this; you wouldn't have made it to where you are if not for His mercy. Reverence Him in the beauty of His holiness not only with songs but a lifestyle which will make the people around you to praise Him on your behalf. The Lord will continue to look upon you and be merciful unto you even as you live to declare His praise in every aspect of life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Fantastic Week!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 10th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY There is always a provision for every mantle of responsibility. Grace will be made available for any man who is ready to take responsibility in the direction of God's will!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." (2 Corinthians 12:9). ________________________________ The Lord is ready to help or support a man who is ready to take a step of faith in the direction of His will. He will rise to every occasion that will glorify His name. He is not ignorant of what you can do each time He instructs you to move in the direction of faith. Therefore, He knows where to help and will always wait to intervene at a particular junction in every step you take in line to His words. You don't need to fear in every bid to do His will. Take responsibility in the direction of His will for your life. Noah would have been killed during the flood if he had not taken the responsibility to build the ark even when there was no record of rain or flood. The children of Israel wouldn't have experienced the miracle at the red sea if they never moved forward in total obedience to God's instruction. You don't need to see the support of the flesh before taking a move to obey God. He wants to take glory over your weakness; turning them into strength for the glorification of His name. He takes pleasure in incapacitating flesh to allow His power to reign in you. Over confidence is a factor that makes a man to fail in life. Taking steps according to God's word is an important factor that precedes every great testimony. The Lord will strengthen your faith to respond to Him always in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have an Outstanding Worship Experience!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 9th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY The fact that we all have a tomorrow is a major reason why we must always put on the weapon of prayers. Sleeping over the success you had over the years is a way to give the ancient enemy the required needed space to perform his enterprise in your life!!! *********************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is." (Ephesians 5:15-17 NKJV). ________________________________ It is the will of God for every man to be prayerful. This is revealed in His words and how Jesus lived on earth. "pray without ceasing," (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Irrespective of the condition you are; be it in trouble or wealth, in sickness or in health; you are required to always pray about everything in life. As we aim to have a beautiful day on daily basis so also the evil one will be getting set to perform his enterprise. Our ancient enemy the devil neither gives up nor have enough of his evil enterprise. He goes to and fro seeking whom to devour. You are also among those he is looking for. He is not ignorant of the plan of God in your life. If it will not be shattered you must always pray down the will of God for your life even as you live a life worthy of God's support. However, the evil one is winning the battle over the life of many people. Cares and worries of life does not give room for serious consecration in the place of prayer and the word of God. If your hope and absolute trust is in God alone; you must be a man of prayer and also live a life that will never give place to the devil in your domain. The Lord will help and strengthen you to be a victorious Christian in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Wonderful Weekend!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? ________________________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 8th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY Faith of our fathers is the living faith that believes and obeys the word of God without wavering. The Joy, peace and victory required for a successful living in God depends on it!!! ************************ BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints." (Jude 1:3B NKJV). ________________________________ Faith is simply a conscious positive response to what the Lord has said. Every righteous man is a man who is living by faith. If you will not walk in the ways of the world and please God as you proceed on the pathway of destiny you must live by faith. Faith is not limited to trusting God to give you wonderful possession of life but to also believe in the blessedness of doing His will and the consequence of disobeying His words. The type of faith expected of us to exhibit at every point in time is the faith of our fathers. It is a type of faith that does not argue nor complain in every bid to do God's will. It does not compromise in the presence of fire, sword and terrible challenges of life. The saints of old never traded it for money, material possession and worldly pleasure. In it they had great testimony and do great exploits for the cause of the Lord. To them nothing was to big to give or to abandon if it would please God. Through their faith God was not ashamed to be called their God. They served as models for any man who wish to live a godly life and fulfill the purpose of his creation. Do you have faith? What type of faith do you have? If you must live to fulfill your purpose in life and please God in your pilgrimage; you must respond to His words without wavering. The Lord will give you the grace to respond to God all the days of your life in Jesus name. Amen!!! Have a Fruitful Friday!!! |
Good Morning! How was your Night? __________________ Spiritual Digest for the Day 7th Of January 2016 QUOTE FOR THE DAY What the Lord rejects each time He rejects a man is not his face, activities, physical appearance or charisma but the nature of his heart!!! *************** BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY "But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7 NKJV). _____________________ The nature of a man's heart is the true representation of his real person. Out of it comes various issues of life. A man with a bad heart will be out of favour in God's presence because such will never be a vessel of honour nor submit to His will. The best an hypocrite can do is to deceive the men around Him to give a wrong impression of his true representation but not God. The Lord Jesus describes four types of heart in the parable of the sower (Matt 13:1-23) A heart that looks like a path is a heart that has no room for the word of God. Several other things has taken over their heart to the point that the words of God cannot settle in them. A Rocky heart is a type that cannot stand in the presence of life's trouble and challenges. Such type compromise their faith and bow to pressure in hard times. A heart that is surrounded with thorns a type that can be carried away by the deceitfulness of riches. Such follow God for the purpose of achieving their aims. Their treasure is in the world and so they can't take their heart away from it. The Good heart is the one that allows the will of God to prevail at every point in time. It takes a good heart to follow the Lord. The Lord planted you wherever you are so as to be productive. However, your productivity is a function of the place of God's word in your heart. Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen! Have a Fantastic Thursday! |
