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...

SOUND MIND​​​

Image
SOUND MIND​​​ 2 Timothy 1:1-7 Devotional- “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”  (V. 7) Oluremi AGBABIAKA · Sound mind       A major virtue of creation that God has given to us is our mind. The word of God says as a man thinks so his life will be (Proverbs 23:7). Which means, your mind is a creative force. People need to know that the moment their mind and your mouth is going the different ways it will not stand. The two will have to agree to bring forth something good for you (Ephesians 3:20)

SOCIAL CAPITAL​​​​

Image
SOCIAL CAPITAL​​​​ Luke 16:1-13 Devotional-"And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home”  (V. 9) Oluremi AGBABIAKA · Social Capital     One of the most potent and widely misunderstood virtue is that of social capita.  Many have dashed their destinies because of their wrong view of this. Many turned wicked and some turned to organizing robbery and kidnapping of their friends for money since their expectations from  people they depended on are not forth coming. It is the reason why crime is increasing in the land today. This is because people feel someone have and he did not give them. So, they want to get their share anyway.

SPEAKING POSITIVELY​​

Image
SPEAKING POSITIVELY​​ Number 14:26-38 Devotional-“Say to them, 'As I live,' says the LORD, 'just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you”  (V. 28) Oluremi AGBABIAKA · Speaking Positively    Majority of human race do not know why some things happened to them. This is a product of the fact that most people don't like to learn. The areas we detest most is the spiritual area. Most people don't bother to learn the physical principle of life, how much more the spiritual. It is important that you know that your words are not ordinary. They are expression of your spirit man (Matthew 12:34). That is, it is the outflow of your spirit that composes your words (John 6:63).

BE A BLESSING ​​

Image
BE A BLESSING ​​ Mark 10:17-31 Devotional-“Then Peter began to say to Him, "See, we have left all and followed You."”  (V. 28) Oluremi AGBABIAKA · Be A Blessing    A wonderful way to create your own blessing, is by being a blessing. To be a blessing means, you encourage others with what you have. To be a blessing, is to sow the seed of grace into the life of others. A great number of people just don't know what to do with their lives. They just need a little push to move forward in life. Someone need to part with his time, energy, money, gift and special ability to lift up others.    Today, we talked about Peter, John and other disciples of Jesus as though we are talking about spirits, and not humans. God did tremendous things through them (Acts 19:11). This was because, they left all they have, they follow Jesus  and served Him. Peter asked Jesus about their rewar...

MOTIVATED​​​

Image
MOTIVATED​​​ 2 Samuel 23:8-17 Devotional-“So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless he would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD”  (V. 16) Oluremi AGBABIAKA · Motivated     A workforce motivated is a virtue of creation. The word of God says, two are better than one, for they will have good reward for their labour (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10). When a people are of one language and one mind, God can do great things through them.

PERSISTENCE ​​​​

Image
PERSISTENCE ​​​​ Genesis 26:15-29 Devotional-“And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name Rehoboth, because he said, "For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."”  (V. 22) Oluremi AGBABIAKA · Persistence    Until a man is willing to persist, creation of greatness is impossible. Those who are not willing to persist often give up and never achieving their goals. To persist is to be willing to continuously pursue your goal even when it is taking a long time. To persist is to give unrelenting efforts in the pursuit of a goal. That is why you need passion in your journey to success.

PURSUE​​​​

Image
PURSUE​​​​ 1 Thessalonians 5:12-22 Devotional- “See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all”  (V. 15) Oluremi AGBABIAKA · Pursue     The word pursue simply talk about a race. This is not just in a tournament alone but in all endeavors of life. This means what you are intending to create or achieve are also running, they are not static. So, if you don't pursue them you cannot catch up with them. This is a strong truth about life and this is true of anything worth being achieved.     The word of God says, you should pursue what is good for yourself and for others. This is because good things seems to be running away from people. It is like good things don't want anyone to achieve them. So, it demands that you make up your mind and run as fast as you can, to create your own desire. Many people only wants to run for a while and relax. Unf...

DILIGENCE ​​​​

Image
DILIGENCE ​​​​  Proverbs 10:1-10 Devotional-“He who has a slack hand becomes poor, But the hand of the diligent makes rich”  (V. 4) Oluremi AGBABIAKA · Diligence     The act of diligence is the act of giving the degree of attention and efforts that is require in achieving a given task. Diligence has to do with you putting yourself together to pay the price for a prize. So many will always envy a man of great achievement. Everyone like to celebrate good progress. But there is a need to learn how to be ready to pay the price.      The Bible says “he who has a slack hand will become poor but the hand of the diligent makes rich” (additions mine). If anyone is not willing to pay the price, he cannot get the prize. Most people only want to go about talking and playing around, but they become jealous when they see you making progress. He that has a slack hand will become poor. Such people labour a...

SELF DISCIPLINE

Image
SELF DISCIPLINE 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Devotional- “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified”  (V. 27) Oluremi AGBABIAKA · Self Discipline    It is almost impossible to create any good thing in life without self discipline. The truth is that with the virtue of self discipline, there is nothing in this world that any man can not achieve. This is because self discipline is putting yourself in the mould that is necessary for the formation or bringing forth a thing. Everything you need to produce demand some set of condition before it can be shapened to what you desire. A person preparing for an interview must study to come out successfully. A manager must educate, delegate and evaluate.

SELF DENIAL​​​​

Image
SELF DENIAL​​​​ Luke 9:23-27 Devotional- “Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me”  (V. 23) Oluremi AGBABIAKA · SELF DENIAL    The act of bringing forth anything that is worth having in this world, demands the virtue of self denial. This is because any attempt you want to demonstrate to achieve anything good will be resisted. The devil will use many things to stop you from achieving the goal. The enemy will often use 'self' to stand against self. That is why you must learn to deny self . Self is the Adamic, canal and sinful nature in man which always stand against what is right (Romans 7:18-20, Romans 8:7-8).

DETERMINATION ​​​​

Image
DETERMINATION ​​​​ Romans 8:31-39 Devotional-“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?”  (V. 35) Oluremi AGBABIAKA · Determination     The virtue of determination will always build strength in a man to create the achievement of his goal. Every time you desire to create a success, there will always be multiple resistance. That is why wishing to achieve a goal is not enough, you must be strongly determined.

LITTLE BEGINNING

Image
LITTLE BEGINNING​​​ Matthew 14:13-21 Devotional-“And they said to Him, "We have here only five loaves and two fish."”  (V. 17) Oluremi AGBABIAKA · Little Beginning     Creating achievement and success demand the wisdom of little beginning. Those who put their trust in money will have many frustrations. This is because it is not always available enough to start most projects. That is why your hope should not be in money, but in the living God who can provide all things.

CREATING PROVISION​​​​

Image
CREATING PROVISION​​​​ Matthew 17:24-27 Devotional- “Nevertheless, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you have opened its mouth, you will find a piece of money; take that and give it to them for Me and you." (V. 27) Oluremi AGBABIAKA · Creating Provision     Every man or woman must learn how to create their own money. He that does not know how to create his own medium of financial flow will not be able to achieve so much in this world. The world have no respect for a man who cannot achieve great things. So, you must learn how to command money to respond to you especially in time of needs.

IMAGINATION​​

Image
IMAGINATION​​ Genesis 11:1-9 Devotional-“And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do”  (V. 6) KJV Oluremi AGBABIAKA · Imagination     A great virtue of creation that God has kept in man that is underused or negatively use is the virtue of imagination. It is a powerful weapon that can reshape the life of anyone. The reason one often neglect this is because we don't understand how our lives operates. We are spirit, we have a soul and we live inside a body. Until our mind can see what is happening in the spirit concerning us, we may not be able to bring it to the physical.

STEPPING OUT​​​

Image
STEPPING OUT​​​ Exodus 14:13-30 Devotional -“And the LORD said to Moses, "Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward”  (V. 15) Oluremi AGBABIAKA · Stepping Out     Part of the virtue for creating your miracle is your ability to step out in the face of odd circumstances. Those who experience the unforgettable power of God in their career or businesses are those who have learnt to step out even when there is no ground to step on. Those who expect all factors to be completed will not be able to achieve great things (Ecclesiastics 11:4). That is why a child of God must learn to trust in God and be willing to act in obedience to God by faith.

FAITH​​​

Image
FAITH​​​ Hebrews 11:1-12 Devotional-“By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible”  (V. 3) Oluremi AGBABIAKA · Faith     The act of faith is a singular virtue that will always separate the achievers from others. When you see people advancing in achievement, they are simply acting out in faith. When you don't know what is driving people into achievement you just assume it is because they have money to do it. But there is a virtue that commands money, it is the virtue of faith. Most people you see achieving great feat will tell you they started out not knowing how the resources to finish will come, but God made a way: Faith is the secret of God for creation.

TRUST IN GOD​​

Image
TRUST IN GOD​​ Jeremiah 17:1-10 Devotional-"Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD”  (V. 7) Oluremi AGBABIAKA · Trust In GOD    It's important we understand the power of trusting the Lord in helping us to create our desire in this world. So many people do not bother to grow the wisdom of trusting in the Lord. Many have concluded that trusting in the Lord does not work. Instead of learning the principle, they give up on God. They have no patience to let their prayers work out. They expect God to work at their pace. They always turn to men instead of turning to God. Friend, what will happen the day your friends can't meet your need and you have not train yourself to trust in God? It will really be bad.    Trusting God helps you create solution in an honorable way. It helps you to be self sufficient and make you a blessing and not a burden. Often, God will use people when you trust Him but not at your manipulati...

INSIGHT​​​​

Image
INSIGHT​​​​ 1 Chronicles 27:25-34 Devotional- “Jonathan, David's uncle, was a wise counselor to the king, a man of great insight, and a scribe. Jehiel the Hacmonite was responsible for teaching the king's sons” (V. 32) NLT Oluremi AGBABIAKA · Insight    Making things happen in the world is not by accident. It is by insight. No one will truly gain understanding till they have insight. To have insight is to gain access to the real working factors of a virtue. Most people just stop at the surface, but a man of insight see deeper. To have insight is to see the root and the internal structure of a building. This does not happen by mere looking, it is a product of meditation.

MEDITATION​​​

Image
MEDITATION​​​ Joshua 1:1-10 Devotional- “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success”  (V. 8) Oluremi AGBABIAKA · Meditation    The act of meditation is one of the strong virtues that empower man to be able to create his desires. To create is to bring forth what is not in existence in your life. The act of creation is allowing God to use you to bring to pass His promises concerning you and your family. Most people look at others better than them when they can't create what others are creating (John 14:12, Philippians 4:10). The truth is that there is nothing God is doing through anyone that He can not do through you.

REVELATION ​​​

Image
REVELATION ​​​ Genesis 41:46-57 Devotional- “Joseph gathered very much grain, as the sand of the sea, until he stopped counting, for it was immeasurable”  (V. 49) Oluremi AGBABIAKA · Revelation    The nature of man demands that he sees things before he performed it. Just like if you don't see a chair somewhere, you will not attempt to sit down. That is how revelation moves you to action. You have so much conviction and courage about what you can see (1 John 1:1; Acts 4:20). All your achievements are majorly products of what you see, you are convinced of its possibility and  you will take steps of faith towards it.
