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...

LONG LIFE

LONG LIFE  Scripture Reading: Psalms 91:1-16 Devotional:- “With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation." (V. 16) NKJV      Living long is determined by God. He is the one that has the control of life and death. So, He gives it to each one as He wishes. He made all men for a purpose. The fulfillment of a purpose is a determining factor for existence in this word (John 19:30; 2 Timothy 4:6-8). Yet, the word of God gives us a covenant of long life.

DIVINE DIRECTION

DIVINE DIRECTION                                     Scripture Reading: Proverbs 3:1-8 Devotional:- “In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths” (V. 6) NKJV      If a man want God to direct his ways, then there are covenant responsibility attach to it. Most people complain that God is not speaking to them. They complain they cannot hear God. But most people do not know that it is questions that provoke answers.

MANIFESTATION OF HIS POWER

Image
MANIFESTATION OF HIS POWER Scripture Reading: Ecclesiastics 8:1-8 Devotional:- “Where the word of a king is, there is power; And who may say to him, "What are you doing?"” (V. 4) NKJV      Everyone love to see manifestation of the power of God through them. That is, all men want to handle the power of God. Many Christians get discouraged when they decree in the name of Jesus and they don’t get result. This is because people want to operate in a God they do not know a His ways (Act 19:13-16). Please know that the ways of God are not like the ways of men (Isaiah 55:8-10).

FAVOUR

Image
FAVOUR Scripture Reading: Psalms 5:1-12 Devotional:-  “For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield” (V. 12)  NKJV      Everyone loves to be favored. And favour is a great virtue that makes life beautiful. To be favored is to be given preferences. It is to be given honour or to be considered where one is not qualified. It is an Act of kindness given to someone that does not deserve it.

HELP

Image
HELP Scripture Reading: Hebrews 4:11-16 Devotional:- “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (V. 16) NKJV      Everyone on earth need help. But there are different cases and types of situations of people that needs help. Some are so weak and they need strength; some have missed their season and need help of restoration. Some have lost a great opportunity. Some did not have understanding of what to do when the opportunity is at hand. Others don’t have anyone to assist them, some other destinies have been tampered with by the wickedness of the world.

ANSWERED PRAYER

Image
ANSWERED PRAYER Scripture Reading: 1 John 5:14-17 Devotional:- “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us” (V. 14) NKJV      Everyone wants answers to prayers. The beauty of following or serving the Lord is that He gives answers to prayers. That is why you and I should know what it takes to receive answers to our prayers.

PEACE

Image
PEACE Scripture Reading: Numbers 25:6-15 Devotional:- “Therefore say, 'Behold, I give to him My covenant of peace” (V. 12) NKJV      Peace as a virtue is becoming scarce all over the world. This is because men are deceived away from the will of God. As long as people do what they like, peace will be scarce. Peace is an experience of the Spirit of God been in an agreement with our ways. It is like a round object put into a round hole.

JOY

Image
JOY Scripture Reading: Psalms 16:1-11 Devotional:- “You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (V. 11) NKJV      Please understand that joy is different from happiness. Joy comes from God and happiness are temporary excitement produced by events or occasion. If you want to live with joy in your heart and in your home. Then, you need to locate the covenant of God for joy.

STRENGTH

STRENGTH Scripture Reading: Isaiah 40:21-31 Devotional:- “But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint”” (V. 31) NKJV      It is important that you know strength come through your spirit. As muscular a man could be, when the spirit is out of him, he will lie down helpless. Strength is not just mental; it is only processed by the mind. That is why a man could be very intelligent but frustrated and helpless. It is the spirit that gives man strength, the mind processes it by thinking in the intellect decide by the will and carries it out through the emotional drive of the body. So, whenever you feel weak or you really cannot find enough strength to rise to action, the covenant responsibility is to wait on the Lord.

PROSPERITY

Image
PROSPERITY Scripture Reading: Psalms 1:1-6 Devotional:-  “He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper” (V. 3) NKJV             The faithfulness of God makes His covenant to be predictable. God remains faithful forever (Deuteronomy 7:8). His covenant of prosperity stand sure. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. His prosperity covenant favored those who will walk in His covenant.

GODLY CHILDREN

Image
GODLY CHILDREN Scripture Reading: Proverbs 22:1-8 Devotional:- “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it” (V. 6) NKJV      Everyone desires godly children. It is lack of godly children that is making the world more terrible today. The more our educational system becomes developed, the more terrible generation we are producing. Our education produces academic professionals but does not build the right spirit in man.

PEACEFUL HOME

Image
PEACEFUL HOME Scripture Reading: Exodus 1:10-22 Devotional:- “And so it was, because the midwives feared God, that He provided households for them” (V. 21) NKJV      Good home is a gift from God. Human wisdom may not be able to deliver it. A peaceful home is a joy of all the living. As the world is turning wicked, good home is becoming scarce. But the word of God gave us the covenant that gives access to have a good home.

DIVINE PROVISION

Image
DIVINE PROVISION Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 Devotional:- “But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully” (V. 6) NKJV      The covenant of divine provision in the kingdom of God is connected to sowing and reaping. This may not be the same with the way of the world. Of course; we are not discussing the way of the world here. But rather, this is the kingdom of God (Galatians 6:7).

DIVINE SECURITY

Image
DIVINE SECURITY Scripture Reading: Psalms 34:1-7 Devotional:- “The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them” (V. 7) NKJV      Our security in this wicked world is so important. When there is no security, even food will not be so important. This is because it is he that is alive that can eat and live in a house. That is why people say, security first. So, we need to think of divine security for us and our family. When God is watching us, no one will be able to touch us.

HEALING AND HEALTH

Image
HEALING AND HEALTH Scripture Reading: Exodus 23:20-33 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      One of the basic needs of man on earth is healing and health. No matter what a man has, lack of health can make all things become useless. That makes health very important to us. If we will therefore stand to claim our healing and health, we must understand what qualifies us for it.

PRICE FOR VALUE

Image
PRICE FOR VALUE Scripture Reading: Genesis 22:6-18 Devotional:- “And He said,"Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me."” (V. 12) NKJV        Everyone who wants to gain value in this world knows that there is always a price to be paid. In value, it is how much you are willing to put in it that you get out of it. God want man to keep His covenant so that we can value His blessings and goodness.

IMPARTIAL

IMPARTIAL  Scripture Reading: 1Samuel 2:22-30 Devotional:- “Therefore the Lord God of Israel says:'I said indeed that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever.' But now the Lord says:'Far be it from Me; for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed” (V. 30) NKJV      The God who made the universe and all that is in it cannot be partial. People become partial because they need to favour someone, so that the person can in turn favour them. He does not need to be partial because He has nothing to lose. We really do not have anything that God will be looking for. So, He is not a partial God (Acts 10:34-35).

PROOF OF FAITHFULNESS

Image
PROOF OF FAITHFULNESS Scripture Reading: Psalm 89:1-10 Devotional:- “Your seed I will establish forever, And build up your throne to all generations.'" (V 4) NKJV      The covenant of God stands sure and this is what forms the basis of his faithfulness to man. We can therefore measure the faithfulness of God by how He has kept to His promises. That is why we can see that from generation to generation, God has been faithful to His covenant with the children of men.

YOUR STRENGTH

Image
YOUR STRENGTH Scripture Reading: Daniel 11:29-39 Devotional:- “Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits” (V. 32) NKJV Every child of God needs to know that their covenant walk with God determines their strength with God. We are strong spiritually because God is behind us (Romans 8:31). None of us can stand the resistance of life without Him (John 15:5) This is the reason some people in the church cannot overcome the forces against them, because God is a God of covenant.

BASIS FOR JUDGEMENT

Image
BASIS FOR JUDGEMENT Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:1-11 Devotional:- “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad” (V. 10) NKJV      It is important that all children of God knows that there is a judgment day. All covenant defaulters shall be judged. That is why you and I cannot play away with the covenant of God. For us in the New Testament, the grace of God is at work in us, but not in disobedience (Romans 6:1-2). God want us to obey Him out of a heart of love (John 14:15). But the disobedience will be judged (Isaiah 1:19-20).
