FLOATING AXE

FLOATING AXE Devotional:- 2 Kings 6:1-7 “So the man of God said, "Where did it fall?" And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float’’ (V.6) NKJV  Sometimes when we read about some great wonders of God in the Bible, something makes us feel it was because the people were very special. But we need to know that they are men of like passion (James 5:17-18). They were just exactly like we are, but they were only men of faith. This makes God to work wonders through them. The sons of the prophet needed a big place of dwelling. So they decide to cut trees to make a new home. Thank God they requested that Elisha should go with them. As they were cutting the trees, the axe head fell into the deep river. And the man of God asked the Holy Spirit for what to do. The Holy Spirit was what they also depended upon, and there was a miracle. Friend, you also have the Holy Spirit. That stick is the word of God. Speak to the sinking situatio...

IT IS YOUR HEART Matthew 15:10-20 Devotional:- "But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man". (V. 18).      Very many people are totally in a confusing state. Not really knowing what to make life so unprogressively for them. They used to think it is devil and demons. Many have gone through all manner of deliverance and fell under anointing several times, yet life still remains same. But let me reveal to you today it is your heart.

DOUBT

DOUBT I Kings 7:1-2 Devotional:- " So an officer on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, “Look,   if   the   Lord   would make windows in heaven, could this thing be?”  And he said, “In fact, you shall see   it   with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it.” ". (V. 2)      One of the strong enemies of faith you must learn to pull down in your life is doubt. To be doubtful is to consider something impossible. Doubters are often double minded. When you use your little brain to consider impossible the power of God to deal with a situation, you simply doubt God. Some people’s little comfort has made them look down on God’s power. Some people have allowed their experience to enlist them in the company of doubters. The truth is that your doubts will reduce the efficacy of the power of God; it will rather nullify your own portion in God. We must learn to put aside our experiences when we are considering the working...

FEAR

FEAR Matthew 8:23-27 Devotional:- "But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm". (V. 26)      One of the tricks of the devil uses on man is the trick to make them afraid. There are so many things Christians do not know, so the devil plays on our ignorance. He knows that the moment he can he can get us afraid, he can always overcome. Fear is the fore runner of the devil. Fear permits him to operate in the lives of men. It is the faith in God to work in our lives and fear moves the devil to work against. You need to stop being afraid, it is the greatest enemy of your faith.

VOICE OF THE ENEMY John 8:37-47 Devotional:- “…When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it” (V. 44)      Most people prefer to listen to lies than the truth. They call it sincere talk. So they enjoy the devil conversing with them. Some people even believe it is better to take to the fact than the truth. So the devil always brings confusion to their heart.

CREATURE OF ABUNDANCE

CREATURE OF ABUNDANCE Genesis 30:25-36 Devotional:- "For what you had before I came was little, and it has increased to a great amount; the LORD has blessed you since my coming. And now, when shall I also provide for my own house?” (V. 30)      At creation God pronounced His blessing on everyone to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28). The blessing God placed on man is not for addition but for multiplication. And that is the blessing of abundance. So in you is the ability to multiply. In you is the ability to become multitude and many. In you is the ability to grow greatly.

BOTTLING OFFENCES Matthew 11:1-6 Devotional:- "And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.” (V. 6)      What has caged the mind of many people from doing well which in turn has affected their lives is the act of bottling offences. Most people do not know that when you can't forgive people they are caging themselves. Unforgiveness is a sin more against oneself. Any time we remember people offend us we experience bitterness of mind and get wounded the more.

FAILURE FROM THE INSIDE

FAILURE FROM THE INSIDE Matthew 26:14-16 NKJV Devotional:- and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?” And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver. (V. 15)      It is important you come to know that if a man is not successful in his heart he cannot be successful in this world. It is first in the heart then it will manifest outside. The greatest frustration of this world is people trying to achieve outside what they are not inside. If a man does not have the faith for success in his heart, no matter what he has he will feel like a failure. So he will desire for more, thinking by getting more he will be successful.

MONEY SUCCESS

MONEY SUCCESS Luke 12:13-21 Devotional:- "And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” (V. 15)      Because of the leadership failure in this part of the world, success has been redefined as having money and materials. This is because what man cannot access will become his idol if he is not careful. So to us here, the moment you have a car or house you are successful not minding how you got it or what you use it for because many cannot afford it.

FEELING CONDEMNED

FEELING CONDEMNED Romans 8:1-5 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)      What some people call humility is equal to self-destruction. Many have problem differentiating between humility and self-humiliation. What some take for been sober is just like self-defamation. They do not only condemn themselves they also go on the cross for their own sin.

SHOW OFF Matthew 6:5-8. Devotional:- “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward" .  (V. 5)      Most of the events that brings snare to our soul and water us down are product of show off.

PEOPLE PLEASING

PEOPLE PLEASING Matthew 14:1-12 Devotional:- "And the king was sorry; nevertheless, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he commanded it to be given to her". (V. 9)      Those who live their lives pleasing people will end up in self-destruction. To please men is to try to satisfy people at the expense of your life. It is greatly killing. In most cases when we have pleased people and they are gone, we may keep cleaning the mess for months.

IMPATIENCE

IMPATIENCE           1 Samuel 13:4-14 Devotional:- "Now it happened, as soon as he had finished presenting the burnt offering, that Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him". (V. 10) NKJV      Sometimes in the course of trying to rush to attain a goal, we complicate situations especially when this rush is caused by impatience. Impatience is not to allow the right process of things to be in place. It is the trick of the enemy to bring affliction over our heart by making us to be restless and making us feel if it does not happen now it will never happen. This is not often true but lies. This is not a life style of a true believer.

BUSINESS 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 NKJV Devotional:- "that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you". (V. 11)      Every true believer should be involved in one business or the other. To us as believers doing business is a commandment and not a suggestion (Luke 19:13). It is important you know that doing business is solving problem. Doing business is contributing to the good of your nation and your family. Doing business is generating income for yourself to be a blessing to your family and the Kingdom of God. Doing business is building your value.

PUTTING ON Ephesians 4:17-24 Devotional:- "and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness". (V. 24) NKJV      When you are putting off the sinful nature, it is important we all labour to put on the nature of Christ. This is when we are Christians.  To put on means you deliberately allow yourself to be exposed to information that builds in you the new nature

PUTTING OFF Colossians 3:1-11 Devotional:- But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. (V. 8) NKJV      Part of the labour of faith for a believer is the work of putting off the old man. The old man is the flesh or self in every man (Romans 7:24). It is the work of each one to labour as we fellowship with God through His word to put off the old man (Philippians 2:12).

DILIGENCE

DILIGENCE 2 Timothy 2:14-19 NKJV Devotional:- "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth". (V. 15)      Laziness is a sign of irresponsibility. To be lazy the person always dodges responsibility and not willing to take a task. A lazy person will have to tell lies sometimes. Many times he or she will have to pretend. Always looking for how to manipulate and turn responsibilities away from his or herself. Such people are always excited only when there is fun. Their definition of fun is idleness.

GROWING IN THE LORD Ephesians 4:7-16 But, speaking the truth in love may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ. (V. 15) NKJV      Nothing is more exciting in life than growing. With growth come many good things of life. With growth comes wisdom, understanding and knowledge. With growth comes unspeakable joy that accompanies insight. When your eyes are open to the ways of progress in life, you feel on top of the world. You will be able to take dominion and be in charge of your life. The sense of I am in charge makes you a living being indeed.

DAILY TIME WITH GOD Proverbs 8:32-36 NKJV Devotional:- Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors. (V. 34)      The true sign that you are changed onto God is that it will look like a crime to lose your daily time in personal fellowship with God. Your heart will always be there and you will be looking for the slightest opportunity to have a time with God. This is a sign of a revived soul.

It will become your delight. If people are running after you and you are dodging them and telling them all kind of lies, it is a pointer to the fact that you are not a genuine believer.

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

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.
