  STAND IN 1 Timothy 2:1-7  Devotional:- “Here are my directions: Pray much for others; plead for God's mercy upon them; give thanks for all he is going to do for them.” (v.1) TLB . When God lifts a man, such a man must have enjoyed the intercessory ministry of others. It is part of the principle of God for us to receive (Matthew 7:7). This is because He does not want to break into our free will and damage our choice. He does not want to break into our decision. That is why we say it sometimes when an event happens, "Did God not see it?” Until He is asked to do something, He finds it difficult to do it. Rather, if He wants to promote a man and the man is not aware, He will touch other people to pray for him.  That is why you and I must also be willing to pray and stand in the gap for others. Paul was instructing Timothy and all of us as members of the body of Christ to pray for others. There are so many people around you who need one thing or another. Even though you ca...

PURPOSE OF PRAISES

Scripture Reading: Isaiah 6:1-7
Devotional:- “And he touched my mouth with it, and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged."” (V. 7)

    God created us to praise Him for the purpose of Him been able to influence us. Every man is influenced by one thing or the other. It is either a man is influenced by the Spirit of God or the spirit of the devil (Job 32:8). At creation we see God pouring Himself into man (Genesis 2:7). God made us to be an influence over all His other creatures. But we can see from the life of Adam and Eve, how the devil came to influence them to sin against God. He seeks to do the same to all man and woman till now.

Isaiah was in the spirit and he saw the Lord (Isaiah 6:1). This was possible because He was in fellowship with God (Psalm 22:3). He saw the angels of God singing Holy, Holy, Holy. Prophet Isaiah said he saw himself unclean, but one of the angels took a coal of fire to touch his lips. That way, God influenced him to be a quality vessel for His glory.

Friend, until God keep influencing you for His glory, life will be with much difficulty. He influenced us by pouring Himself into us (Joel 2:28). He influences us by cleansing us (Isaiah 1:18). He influenced us by instructing us into destiny (Acts 13:2). He influences us by inspiring us to act in faith for achievements (Job 32:8). He influences us to be strong to conquer and to fulfill our destiny (1 Samuel 17:32). All of these acts of influencing happen in the places of fellowship and praises (Acts 13:2). Peace!

 PRAYER: Lord, help me to always enjoy your influences over my life through praises

“ALL MEN IS INFLUENCED BY EITHER GOD OR DEVIL”
