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...

BLESSED FIELD

BLESSED FIELD Deuteronomy 28:1-4 Devotional:- “Blessed shall you be in the city and blessed shall you be in the field” (v.3) AMPC      It is the field that produces all the good foods that man enjoys. It is in the field that germination occurs. It is in the field the harvest is produced for man. It is at the field that marketers wait to take our products. It is in the field we exchanged our goods for money. When a man’s field is not blessed, he will have so much labour loss. When God created Adam, God blessed his field to produce the best of all things.

FAITH

FAITH Romans 1:15-18 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) NKJV      It is of great importance that you come to know that you are a creature of faith. Though the old man in Adam lost his faith to fear we regain it in the second Adam, which is Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:45-47). Do you know even a natural human being has faith only at a very small level? It is by faith you sit on the chair or bed you are. It is by faith you drive and apply brake believing it will work. It is by faith you live in the house. You believe that it cannot collapse. It is by faith you use your gas, kerosene and other materials in the house.

EXTENT OF YOUR STRENGTH

EXTENT OF YOUR STRENGTH John 14:8-14 Devotional:- "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father” (v.12) NKJV      As a New Testament believer, the extent of your strength is unlimited in Christ Jesus. The church of Jesus today, which is the body of Christ, is appointed to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ on the earth. We are to continue from where He stopped. It was true that He did great and mighty works on the earth, but God is not fulfilled until you and I begin to win with the strength of God in us (Luke 10:17-22). We have been given all the authority to overcome and to succeed. You and I are packaged to succeed, and we cannot fail.

AUTHOR AND FINISHER

AUTHOR AND FINISHER Hebrew 12:1-4 Devotional:- “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.” (V. 2) NKJV      It is important as a man with a brand-new life to know that your redeemer is the author and the finisher of your faith. In so many situations of life, people could stand with you at the beginning of a thing but may not continue to bother about how you run the race. But the Bible refers to Jesus as the beginning and the end of all things (Revelation 1:8).

AUTHOR OF LIFE

AUTHOR OF LIFE Acts 3:11-20 Devotional:- “But you killed the very Source (the Author) of life, Whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses” (V.15) AMPC       It is of importance for a man to locate his author in life. When the originator of a thing is not known, then the longevity cannot be ascertained. It is only the author that can determine the end. This is because He is the one who knows what He has packaged into His product.

YOUR INVESTMENT

YOUR INVESTMENT Galatians 6:2-10 Devotional:Be not deceived, God is not mocked: for whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (V.7) KJV. f      The understanding of the scripture we read today will deliver you from frustration and discouragement forever. Then you will be able to choose whether you want to be poor or rich. Do not be discouraged because of ignorance. That is why in Hosea 4:6, the Bible Today, many Christians are the most did not say sinners are destroyed for lack of knowledge but “my people.”. This is because Christ has saved us from the formal and natural life to a new and supernatural one. But most of us don’t have the light that it takes to have the best of this kingdom. That is why we prefer prayers to obedience to God’s words. But Samuel said, “Obedience is better than sacrifice” (1 Samuel 15:22). I know that for you to have picked this devotional today, you are about to be blessed.

MIND YOUR WORD

MIND YOUR WORD James 3:1-12 Devotional:- “Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening?” (V. 11) NKJV      All God’s children need to know that the mouth God has given us has a far greater function than just eating and drinking. You need to know that your mouth is an instrument of authority. It determines your lot in life (Proverbs 18:20). It hinders and permits. It is a weapon of war. The truth is that your authority is expressed through your mouth (Proverbs 18:21).

SPIRITUAL STEWARDSHIP

SPIRITUAL STEWARDSHIP Exodus 23:24-28 Devotional:- "So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you” (V. 25) NKJV      Many of us do not know that the attitude we turn to God determines the attitude He will turn to us. Especially when God expects us to have grown above something having known the truth and we are not, then He chastises us (Hebrews 12:6). God can never be wicked, but He wants us to grow. So He chastises us with love as a good Father.

YOUR SERVICES

YOUR SERVICES Mark 10:41-45 Devotional:- “Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant” (v.43) NKJV      To have the best of the kingdom of God, you must be willing to give faithful service everywhere you may find yourself. The truth is that our service attitude is what proves to God that we are faithful. Each of us must be willing to serve to earn our best from God. A lazy man may not have a portion in this kingdom. Jesus said, “Whosoever wants to be great among you must be your servant “(Mark 10:43).

PHYSICAL LABOUR

PHYSICAL LABOUR Proverbs 14:20-27 Devotional:- “In all labour there is profit but idle talk leads only to poverty” (v.23) AMP           As important as the first two types of labour are, much more important is the importance of physical labour. As New Testament believers, we must understand the importance of physical labour. God’s word says, “…this we commanded you that if any would not work, neither should he eat” (2 Thessalonians 3:10). The Bible strongly condemns idleness. But far beyond this is the wisdom of getting involved in physical labour

MENTAL LABOUR

MENTAL LABOUR Proverbs 18:1-4 Devotional:- Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom” (V. 1) KJV       In the life of many children of God today, the old serpent is still ruling. God’s word says my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). Most people do not know that God has given us a mind to labour with. Many Christians get so much involved in spiritual labour and now neglect that of mental labour. One of the great problem Christianity has today is that of people not getting involved rightly in mental labour. Let us look at it in two dimensions. This could be holding firmly only to your faith in the word of God and making it your mindset. This could also be sitting down to meditate on your business or project progress (Luke 14:28).

SPIRITUAL LABOUR

SPIRITUAL LABOUR   Devotional:- “Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience” (V. 1) NKJV      Now that we have begun to walk in the newness of life in Christ Jesus, we must ensure our participation in spiritual labour to enjoy the restful favour of God. It is important that we know that all things that exist in the physical have first existed in the spiritual (Hebrew l1:3). All good gifts come from above (James 1:19). God’s word says God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly place (Ephesians 1:3). All these scripture establishes the fact that there are blessings spiritually provided for us. And it will take our spiritual labour to harvest them.

TRUST GOD

TRUST GOD                           Psalms 125:1-5 Devotional:- “Those who trust in the LORD Are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever”       Trusting in the Lord is a great weapon of peace and security for the children of God. Each of us must learn to exercise our trust in Him. There are challenges of every kind in this world, but those who trust in the Lord will be as Mount Zion. No form of challenge will move them. They will overcome every situation.

HEALER

HEALER Luke 4:16-22 Devotional:- "The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed” (V. 18) NKJV.      One of the most pathetic things in life is for man to be living under the torment of sickness. Just because of ignorance, many have become cheap victims of sickness. It is a terrible thing today to get to the hospitals to see a great number of people under the torment of sickness. In the world today, medical organizations and institutions have increased. But as much as the increase in these medical personnel and organizations, the rate of sick people has always been on the increase. You hardly can get to any hospital and find it empty. This is because the world has not discovered the great physician.

NO MORE CURSES

NO MORE CURSES Galatians 3:11-14 Devotional:- “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree")” (V. 13) NKJV.      The scripture says, "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away." (1 Corinthians 5:17). One major thing that is in the life of every man through Adam is the curse. God cursed Adam in the Garden of Eden, and since then the life of man has not been the same again. Apart from the general curses God placed upon humanity as a whole, the devil also took advantage of most families and established some curses in them. You may find some families who don’t ever succeed. Some families are all-around poor. Some are just nobody to be reckoned with. Some don’t have settled home. Some are bound to marry many wives or husbands. Some are hopeless drunkards, some womanizers to the core, and many more.

NO MORE DUST

NO MORE DUST Genesis 3:13-21 Devotional:- In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return” (V. 19) NKJV.      At creation, Adam was created out of the dust of the earth, which is why he could not rise much before he fell. Whatever comes from the ground will always return there. That is why a man has to be born of God. He that is born of God is born of the Spirit (John 3:5-7). He now has eternal life. The life of God is in him.

NO MORE SICKNESS

NO MORE SICKNESS Matthew 8:14-17 Devotional:- that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: "He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses" (V.17) NKJV      In the package of our redemption, one of the things contained and paid for is our health. As the redeemed of the Lord, you are not to live your life under the torment of sicknesses any more. The devil is the tormentor, but Christ has come to destroy all his works (1 John 3:8). So, what is called sickness is already terminated out of your life. Any time some people hear about the teaching of divine health, they see it as not realistic. They ask themselves, Why are they still sick if Christ truly has taken away their sicknesses?

NO MORE POVERTY

NO MORE POVERTY 2 Corinthians 8:8-12 Devotional:- “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich” (V. 9) NKJV      Looking at most people's lives today, poverty is a common sickness. But as for you, do you know that you cannot be poor? If you are today, you are not poor until you ignorantly accept that you are. See, your riches are already paid for. That is what the scriptures say. Those who will not believe are permitted to be poor. But the truth is that prosperity is your heritage. Many have only refused to grow up to claim their portion in Christ Jesus.

NO MORE DEFEAT

NO MORE DEFEAT John 16:25-33 Devotional:- “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (V. 33) NKJV.      When Jesus came to the world physically, the primary purpose was to redeem man from all the destruction of the enemy. One of the things He has dealt with is yet to be defeated. In the scripture we read today, He said He has overcome the world. He said on the cross that the battle was won (John 19:30).

NO MORE SORROW

NO MORE SORROW   Isaiah 53:1-4 Devotional:- “Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted” (V. 4) NKJV.      It is high time you wake up to say a final bye-bye to sorrow in your life. Each believer has a heritage of joy in Christ Jesus. In the presence of God, there is joy for us (Psalms 16:11). By the reason of the finished work of our redemption, we are no more to be sorrowful nor ever supposed to have sorrow all the days of our life.

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.
