CONDEMNATION

-
Image
  CONDEMNATION Romans 8:1-8 Devotional:- “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit” (v.1) NKJV Condemnation is often mistakenly taken as one of the behaviours of the righteous, and by it, the enemy often steals the joy of many. What most people feel like expressing is the fact that being sober brings us to a time of quality self-examination. But this has nothing to do with condemnation (2 Corinthians 7:10). It is actually the enemy that is making us feel we are not fit to live in God’s presence. It’s all together the trick of the devil to steal our joy. In the scripture we read today, the Bible says we are no longer to be condemned. Condemnation is a legal term applicable to an accused who is guilty of a crime. But Christ has taken all we are supposed to take on the cross. If you have to suffer for your sin, then the death of Christ is in vain. God’s word says we have been justified ...

FAITH OF MOSES Hebrews 11:23-29 Devotional:- “By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible” (V. 27)      Moses was a man born and preserved by faith. That is why we all need to grow our families especially our children in faith (Proverbs 22:6). A child taught in the faith from childhood will grow up bold and courageous in the face of the battle of life. A child nurtured in the faith will always be an overcomer in the midst of life challenges.

So the men sat down, in number about five thousand” (v. 10)      Faith is expecting the supernatural. It is knowing in your heart that God will surely show up and step in.

SACRIFICING

SACRIFICING Hebrews 11:17-19 Devotional:- “By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son” (V. 17)    Faith is sacrificing. This is an act of wiliness to part with something so dear to you because God instructed you. Sacrificing is an act of obedience to honour and worship the Lord. Whatever you sacrificed to honour God becomes an instrument of worship. God will always test anyone He wants to bless with an instruction to sacrifice. It is when you obey that you are ready for promotion (Genesis 22:1-3).

PURSUIT OF VISION Genesis 12:1-9 Devotional:- “And he moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; there he built an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the Lord” (V. 8)      Faith is pursuing your vision. It is directing your energy or passion in the direction of your conviction. It is putting in your best to pursue a goal. Remember, faith does not make things easy but it makes it possible. The reason people fail is that they pursue their goal and soon give up. Faith is staying there till it works (Hebrews 6:12).

CONCEPTION

Image
CONCEPTION Genesis 21:1-7 Devotional:- “For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him” (v. 2)      Faith is the ability to conceive. It is by faith that a woman can receive the strength to conceive (Hebrews 11:11). Some times because some things have become a regular experience, we tend to forget the fact that there is a process to it. That is why you must not allow science to just explain some things that can take away the aspect of God. That way, we tend to think they just happened, so, when they fail we get confused.

OBEDIENCE Joshua 6:8-20 Devotional:- “So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city” (V. 20)      Faith is obedience to God’s instructions. It takes faith to obey divine instruction. Whenever we ask God in prayers, He always answer us with instructions. Most of the time those instructions are not easy to carry out but it takes faith.

It is your ability to hold yourself together and appreciate God in the midst of unpleasant situations (1 Thessalonians 5:18). It is seeing God as a good God when all things look so bad (Psalm 100:5). Faith is rejoicing in the mercy of the Lord when it looks like all hope is lost (Romans 4:18-20).

RAISING GREAT CHILDREN Exodus 2:1-10 Devotional “So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months” (V. 2)      Raising great children is an act of faith.

SENDING THE WORD Psalms 107:12-22 Devotional- “He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions” (V. 20)      Faith is sending the word of God.

  STANDING FEARLESSLY 1 Samuel 17:30-37 Devotional:-“Then David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine” (V. 32)  Faith is standing fearlessly. To stand fearless is to entertain no weak mind. It is to face the enemy with full confidence. It is to refuse to shake at the face of fear and be an intimidation to fear. It is to nurse no fear in the midst of any situation. This is a realm that you will always operate in when you are truly living by faith in the word of God.

STRETCH YOUR ROD Exodus 14:13-26 Devotional: -“But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea” (V.16)      Faith is stretching forth your rod. This rod is the word of God (Psalms 23:4). That is why you should learn to take the word in every situation. For you to have victory, you must fight with something, you don’t fight empty handed. In the kingdom of God, our rod of authority is the word of God (2 Corinthians 10:4-5).

GIVING

GIVING 1 kings 17:8-16 Devotional:- “So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah; and she and he and her household ate for many days” (V. 15)      Giving is an act of faith. If you know someone who don’t give, it is not because he does not have alone but because he is afraid of parting with what he has. The fear is that if I part with what I have, what will now remain? How will i get another one? This fear is because most people do not know God to be a great provider.

REFUSING TO DOUBT Mark 11:20-24 Devotional:- “Therefore i say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them” (v. 24)      Doubt is the opposite of faith. Whenever you are refusing to doubt you are operating in faith. Ninety percent of information we receive in this world always want to instill fear into us and make us play save. Not many words we hear tells us the great things we can do. So when you are talking faith, people see you as an extremist.

WALKING ON THE SEA

Image
WALKING ON THE SEA Matthew 14:22-33 Devotional:- “So He said, “Come” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus” (v. 25)      Faith is walking on the sea. The surface of the sea is not a road or a ground, so the mind of man will not imagine that happened. The sea here therefore referred to stepping into impossible thing of life. Until you are ready to step into impossibilities, the supernatural will not respond to you. Sea is a symbol of impossibilities. There are situations in our lives that look impossible; heights we have never climb before, status we use to dream of and the financial intimidations had made us to abandon.

SPEAK WITH AUTHORITY Matthew 8:5-13 Devotional:- “The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed” (v. 8)      When you take the word of God as authority you are taking faith. The truth is that one of the ways that authority is demonstrated by the spoken word.

SPEAKING WHAT GOD SAYS Hebrews 10:19-25 Devotional:- “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful” (v. 23 )      Faith is saying what God is saying.

THINKING THE WORD WAY Ephesians 3:14-21 Devotional:-“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us” (V. 20)      Faith is thinking the word of God. This is taking the word to mind. It is letting your thoughts align only with the word of God. It is important that we know that there are two major means of exchange in the realm of the spirit. They are our words and our thoughts (Number 14:28; Ephesians 3:20)

SEEKING THE WORD

SEEKING THE WORD John 30:24-31 Devotional:- “Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen ME, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” v29 (NKJV)      Faith is seeing what God is saying. Man is a spirit and he has a soul and dwell in the body (1 Thessalonian 5:23). Because man is a spirit, this makes it possible for man to relate with God who is a Spirit (John 4:24). There are therefore some spiritual features in us that we must retain to use for our advantage. Part of it is our ability to imagine or see the invisible in our mind.

RESTING IN HIS PROMISES

-

RESTING IN HIS PROMISES Mark 4:35-41 Devotional:- “But he said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” (v. 40)      The evidence of faith is rest. Fear builds tension in us. It is because of fear and doubt that man has invented hypertension and high blood pressure. They were not part of the creature of God but of man through sin. Fear always break the courage of men to act out for result. As potent as the creation of man, as latent a destiny can be without faith. Circumstances will always look threatening and only the Spirit of God can breathe on us to act positively against negative circumstances (Job 32:8).

ACCEPTING THE WORD

Image
ACCEPTING THE WORD Genesis 17:15-17 Devotional “But My covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time next year”(V. 21)      It is the word of God that produces faith. Though, God is not physical but His word produces faith when His word come to you and you accept it. Just as we search the Bible through meditation to take faith, so also the word of God can be transmitted into our spirit as it is been spoken to us. Faith will only grow in us for our miracle when we accept the word of God personally (Romans 10:17).

TAKING THE WORD   Ephesians 6:10-20 Devotional: “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (V. 17)    People can only exercise faith when they learn to take the word of God. This shows that every genuine Christian must be responsible to experience God. Irresponsible people cannot enjoy God. There is always a part for you to play (Hebrews 11:40)

FOUNDATION OF CHRISTIANITY

FOUNDATION OF CHRISTIANITY Romans 1:11-17 Devotional: “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith”” (V. 17)      It is important we know that Christianity is not a religion. A religion is human approach to worshipping God. Religion is a belief or a worship of a deity or a controlling power. Much more than this, Christianity is a lifestyle. It is a lifestyle of faith. It is a relationship with God. Jesus came to connect us to the father (John 20:17).

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
