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...

THE FALL OF JERICHO

THE FALL OF JERICHO Joshua 6:6-20 Devotional:- “So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city” (V.20) NKJV      Often time the enemy doesn’t want God’s children to approach their blessing, and he will fence it round. Though it is just within their reach, the enemy will make it unavailable. So, they keep waiting endlessly. The blessing is there, but the fences must collapse to obtain it.

STEPPING INTO JORDAN

STEPPING INTO JORDAN Joshua 3:5-17 Devotional:- “that the waters which came down from upstream stood still, and rose in a heap very far away at Adam, the city that is beside Zaretan. So the waters that went down into the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, failed, and were cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho” (V. 16) NKJV      Many may not know that God is not going to do great things in their life until they are ready to cooperate with Him. For His wonders to happen in our lives, He has a part, and we also have a part. If a man is not ready to play his part, God is also not going to play His part. Playing your part is a sign of faith in God's ability. When you do, He will also play His glorious part.

BE COMMITTED IN ZION

BE COMMITTED IN ZION Psalm 69:5-12 Devotional:- “Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up, And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me”. (V. 9) NKJV      God’s strength is always available in His house (Psalm 84:7) . He has ordained His house as a centre of strength. No matter the weakness people encounter, God has organised His house as a place to renew strength. The word of God says those who appear in Zion are always increasing in strength. This is not just a show up but a heart toward His house.

BE CAREFUL OF SUCCESS

BE CAREFUL OF SUCCESS Devotional:- Deuteronomy 8:11-20 "Beware that you do not forget the LORD your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today” (V. 11) NKJV      Today, you may be facing some challenges, but your comfort will soon come. The challenge today is simply to prepare you for the coming glory (Nehemiah 8:18). So I know that your season of success is closer than you imagine. Know that we are about to see the greatest breakthrough in the body of Christ.

HANGING OUT WITH GOD

HANGING OUT WITH GOD Devotional:- Luke 18:1-8 “Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart” (V. 1) NKJV  One of the most taught topics in Christendom in this part of the world is prayer. And to the glory of God, we have really embraced prayer as a weapon in God. Yet we need to relate more with God in times of personal prayers than in corporate prayers. It is very important that you personally grow your prayer life.

FAITH IN HIS NAME

FAITH IN HIS NAME Acts 3:9-16 Devotional:- And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. (V. 16) NKJV      One of the strengths given to the believer in God is the name of Jesus. God did not leave us to walk through the challenges of our life without a key to always open to us the doors of healing, power and grace. And this is the name of Jesus. God’s word says God has given us a name that is above every other name. The name is given to us to unlock the power of God and to overcome the forces of the enemy.

FAITH IN HIS POWER

FAITH IN HIS POWER Exodus 14:20-31 Devotional:- “And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea” (V. 27) NKJV      Even though the power of the devil is fake, he always tries to use the fake to convince and confuse the children of God who have the original. He does this by creating an attractive package for the fake power. This is the attraction of being quick and looking real. Yet at the end, it brings its victim into disgrace and failure.

FAITH IN HIS PROMISES

FAITH IN HIS PROMISES Hebrew 10:19-25 Devotional:- “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised)” (V. 23) KJV      If faith has no substance, it will be a weak faith. The substance of faith is the potentiality of its evidence. It is the certainty of the conviction of that faith. It is the very thing that produces confidence in the faith. But all of these have their foundation in the word of His promises. It is the promises of God that produce the substance of your faith. It is in the Word of God that you can substantiate your faith.

FAITH IN HIM

FAITH IN HIM 1 Corinthians 16:13-18 Devotional:- “Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong” (V. 13) NKJV       To be established in faith demands that you establish your faith in God. The Bible says those who come to Him must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). In the experience of our walk with God, there are occasions when our heart wants to doubt if God really exist.

A HEART OF BLESSING

Image
A HEART OF BLESSING Matthew 20:20-28 Devotional:- “just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (V. 28) NKJV      As believers, the greatest opportunity you can ever have is to be a blessing. When a life is not a blessing, it cannot be fulfilled. The truth is that you are not in this world for yourself. We came here for God and others. If not for others, you would not be needed. So you are only important when others can be affected by your life.

SERVING THE LORD

SERVING THE LORD Mark 10:35-45 Devotional:- “And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all” (v.44) NKJV      Serving the Lord is a medium through which you reach out to other lives. The devil is drawing many away from God. It is the lifestyle of the world to be selfish. Everyone is thinking about themselves, and the language of people has become me, my and mine. This is prophetically said about the end time (2 Timothy 3:1-2). Surprisingly, this is also becoming a factor against the service of many to the Lord. But you should know that God is your hope and your future.

MAKE YOUR CONCLUSION

MAKE YOUR CONCLUSION Joshua 24:8-16 Devotional:- “ And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD” (V. 15) NKJV      One of the goals of the enemy in the end time is to turn people away from God. If you read through the word of God, you will discover that there is much calamity to befall the sons of men. This is part of God's agenda to punish iniquity. Please know, therefore, that the affliction is just starting (Mark 13:8). But God had made provision for your own security. He said it is only with your eye you will see it (Psalm 91:7-8).

YOUR STRONGHOLD

YOUR STRONGHOLD Zechariah 9:11-17 Devotional:- “Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even today do I declare that I will render double unto thee” (V. 12) KJV      One of the great comforts we have in God is that we have hope in Him. We know that God is on our side. Things will work out well for us. God’s word says all things will work together for our good (Romans 8:28). But when hope looks delayed, weariness often sets in the heart of men and weakens their faith.

FIXING THINGS

FIXING THINGS Genesis 32:22-32 Devotional:- “And He said, "Let Me go, for the day breaks." But he said, "I will not let You go unless You bless me!"” (V. 26) NKJV      Prayer times are a good time for us to walk with God for our strength. In this part of the world, believers give so much time to prayers, but we need more understanding about what prayers are.

MINISTER OF HEALTH

MINISTER OF HEALTH Proverbs 12:15-20 Devotional:- “Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” (V. 18) NIV      All through the generations of man, one of the easiest things to do is wickedness. You will observe that pulling down is easier than building up. To destroy is far easier than to mend. This is actually the trick of the devil to make men live in wickedness. It is easier to curse than to bless. If you observe that you don’t find it easy to bless people, the reason is that the heart of man is desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9).

GROUNDED IN LOVE

GROUNDED IN LOVE Ephesians 3:11-21 Devotional:- “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,” (V. 17) KJV      When life goes through challenging times, one of the aftermaths of such an experience is that people become bitter. The enemy always wants to use our challenges to draw us out of love. This is because in times of challenges, we understand people better. Then we can discern those who love us indeed and those who do not. Yet we need to know that to be out of love is to be out of God, for God is love (1 John 4:8).

SHARING YOUR MIND

SHARING YOUR MIND Genesis 15:1-14 “But Abram said, "Lord GOD, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?"” (V. 2) NKJV      Sometimes we need to learn to share our minds with God. This is part of prayers. You can do when you are alone with God. It is not a sin against God when you share your mind. This can actually lead to the next revelation or instruction to glory.

KNOWING HIS WISDOM

KNOWING HIS WISDOM   James 3:12-18 Devotional:- “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.” (v. 17) NKJV      Everyone in the world today has come to know the viability of wisdom. Everyone now knows that it takes wisdom to succeed. Some years ago, people used to think it was just hard work. Later, it was realised that the people who are really making it are not necessarily struggling.

KNOWING HIS WAYS

KNOWING HIS WAYS Isaiah 55:1-11 Devotional:- “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are my ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” (V. 9) NKJV      One of the things we need to know about God is His ways. If we don’t know His ways, we may not be able to follow Him. When you see anyone demonstrating the power of God, it is because His ways have been made known to him/her. God’s word says He made his ways known to Moses and His acts to the children of Israel (Psalm 103:7).

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.
