THE PAST

  THE PAST Isaiah 43:8-21 Devotional:- “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.” (v.18) NKJV God, who gives us a memory, want us to use our past experiences to help us make quality decisions in the future, but the past is always the enemy of the future for many. If you don’t know how to manage your memory system of the past, it is capable of standing against your success in the future. As emotional beings, we are sometimes faced with the challenges of memories of our past experiences, our errors and failures. You will observe that at every point of decision-making to progress, the enemy will bring back to your memory the past experiences of your failure. This is just to bring fear to your heart and make you doubt the possibility of your success, so you could lose your joy. The scripture we read today instructs us to let go of the past. God is starting a brand-new thing with you. He is giving you new experiences of success and breakthrough. You need to lea...

SACRIFICE

SACRIFICE

Genesis 8:15-22 
Devotional:- Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offering on it” (v. 20) NIV

    Believers need to purge their minds of earthly beliefs and philosophies that are contrary to the word of God to be able to enjoy the best of God. Most people don’t want to ever hear teachings of sacrifice because something in man will always want to resist the way of God, but our flesh will only want to sanction the things of the Spirit. 

Sacrifice is an offering to God, a gift of our love to prove our appreciation to Him. It is our seed for a greater response from

God. It is a sign of appreciation to God for the past benefits. It is what triggers God to establish His covenant of blessing with man. No life will succeed without sacrificing.

Noah had been saved from the flood. He and his family thought it wise to sacrifice and appreciate the Lord for His mercy toward them. Little do they know that they were about to make God release another covenant blessing upon their lives and destinies.

When God smelled the aroma of the sacrifice from the bottom of His heart, he pronounced a great blessing that has preserved the earth till now. Friend, don’t be pushed. Plan to make a sacrifice to the Lord from your heart as the new year begins. Just like God blessed Abraham from His heart (Genesis 22:17), He will also bless you. Look for something precious to do for the Lord and His servants. Let it be precious and painful sacrifices for a precious covenant. Sacrifices are not always easy, for they are precious seeds for the release of precious destiny and its actualisation. It’s your turn to rise.

Prayer: Lord, help me to be willing to sacrifice for the release of my destiny.

“YOUR SACRIFICE SIMPLY OPEN YOUR DOOR OF GLORY”
