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...

OUR SHIELD

Image
OUR SHIELD Psalm 84:1-12 Devotional:- “For the Lord God is a sun and shield; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly” (V. 11).      A shield is an instrument of protection from the flying arrows. A shield is an instrument used at war by the army to protect themselves from the attack of the enemy. So, shield is a very vital and viable instrument. But as good as it is it cannot function by itself. That is why some soldiers can be destroyed despite the shield in their hands. Men of war must be strong for them to overcome despite the weapons in their hands.

A REWARDER

Image
A REWARDER   Hebrews 11:4-7. Devotional:- "For he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder, of those who diligently seek Him” (V.6)      Everyone involved in any kind of labor expects a reward. What motivates people into service or pursuit of life is the reward attached to it. It is embarrassing to see that most people labor for no reward, or rather their rewards don't often measure up to their service or input. This is the reason for frustration in the lives of many in the world today.

A LIFTER

Image
A LIFTER                                                         Psalm 3:1-8 Devotional:- "But you O Lord are a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head". (V. 3) AMPL            Sometimes in the world, it is survival of the fittest. People in different businesses and offices of different professions seem to be racing and only the influential and the financially strong are gaining the edges and many are left in the cold without helpers for them.

ETERNAL GOD

Image
ETERNAL GOD Deuteronomy 33:24-29 Devotional:- “The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arm.” (V. 27) KJV      God is eternal. He is God without a beginning or end. He is the God who has been, who is, and is to come. He is the God that has been in the dateless past. And when nothing else will be He will continue to be. Eternity is simply an existence of no beginning nor end. So, He is the beginning of all things and He will be the end of all things (Revelation 1:8).

ARK OF SALVATION

Image
ARK OF SALVATION  Genesis 7:1-10 Devotional:- And Noah and his sons and his wife and his son’s wife with him went into the ark because of the waters of the flood” (V. 7) AMPL        Jesus is the ark of salvation. Every generation in Him has always been safe. If you and your family will locate Him you shall be safe.

BITTER TURNED SWEET

Image
BITTER TURNED SWEET Exodus 15:22-27 Devotional:- “So he cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there He tested them,” (V. 25) NKJV      Your God can turn what is bitter to be sweet. When you see or experience anything bitter, you will understand that it has an element of bitterness and that is the reason for your experience. Then, human wisdom will tell you that unless you eliminate the bitter element it cannot be sweet. But God can turn that which has been bitter to be sweet. You don't need to divorce your spouse or quit business. That bitter water can be turned sweet.

GOD OF VICTORY

Image
GOD OF VICTORY 1 Samuel 17:39-50 Devotional:- “This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.” (V.46) NKJV      Victory in life is not necessarily to the strong and is not often determined by the human power. All through the scripture God is proved to be a victorious God. It has never happened in history that God is involved in a battle and His people were defeated. He will always win every battle. This is because all power that be is of God.

IRREVERSIBLE BLESSING

Image
IRREVERSIBLE BLESSING Number 23:5-25 Devotional:- “How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? Or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?" (V. 8) KJV      Thanks be to God who always proves Himself as God in our lives. If not for Him, what shall we say today? Sometimes people become envious of another’s progress and they allow their envy to turn to wickedness. Some people always have evil desires against others. When they see someone blessed, they desire rather that such be cursed. But they do not know that God‘s blessing cannot be cursed (Romans 11:29).

LOCATING A KING

Image
LOCATING A KING   I Samuel 16:1-13 Devotional:- “Now the LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons." (V. 1) NKJV      God is always in the business of locating rulers and kings. Since He is omnipresent and omniscient God sees all things and knows all things. He often prepares who will be the next ruler in every nation (Daniel 4:25). Not only does He locate and prepare, but He also appoints and enthrones. Nothing can be established without Him. He brings wicked rulers sometimes to discipline the people and righteous rulers sometimes to comfort the people.

REVEALING SECRETS

Image
REVEALING SECRETS Daniel 2:10-23 Devotional:- “He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him (V. 22)      Secrets are hidden information. It is something out of the reach of a normal person. The truth is that, we can only know what we are informed about. A man can't know the dream of his wife unless he is informed. But God's word says, "Secret things belong to the Lord our God but those things which are revealed belong to us…" (Deuteronomy 29:29).

MIRACLE HEALTH

Image
MIRACLE HEALTH Deuteronomy 34:1-8 Devotional:- "And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated” (V. 7) KJV      Long life has suddenly become a scarce commodity in the world today. Many are dying at ridiculous ages now. Instead of the rate of death to decrease because of medical development, the development itself has become the instrument of destruction.

CROSSING JORDAN

Image
CROSSING JORDAN Joshua3:7-17 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      God is a specialist in doing the unusual. What is impossible with men is possible with God. No situation can be called impossible with Him. He can always turn situations around. When He steps into any situation all forces responsible submits and down tools.

HEAVENLY BREAD

Image
HEAVENLY BREAD Exodus 16:1-5 Devotional:- “Then the LORD said to Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you. And the people shall go out and gather a certain quota every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in My law or not.” (V. 4) NKJV      Today one of the greatest challenges facing the world is the challenge of food. It is often called one of the primary needs of life. And this means it is so important to live. Some nations have it sufficiently but many insufficiently. One of the reasons is that attention is been shifted away from farming to technological development in many nations. And so many face hunger as a great challenge in their life. But I want to show you what God can do.

THE ANOINTING

Image
THE ANOINTING  I Samuel 10:1-9 Devotional:- “Then the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man." (V. 6) NKJV      No matter what anyone may be today, God’s power can change them for good. The anointing is a divine endowment of God upon a man. It is a means through which mortal men can enjoy the virtue of the immortal God. When a man is anointed, he cannot but be changed to another man. In other words, every man can do great but only need the ignition of the anointing.

WATER FROM THE ROCK

Image
WATER FROM THE ROCK Exodus 17:1-7 Devotional:- “Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink." And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel”” ( V. 6) NKJV      It is always a mystery to see water coming out of the rock. This is because we know that rock is a solid material and water is a liquid material. When you look at it Scientifically you will observe that a rock could be sitting on water. And it could be possible for water to one day find its way out. But it's a different thing altogether when the water starts to come out of a rock for the very first time, after an instruction to strike. It means the instructor is in control.

MASTER OVER THE SEA

Image
MASTER OVER THE SEA Exodus 14:10-30 Devotional:- “Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided” (V. 21). NKJV      Any time God is on the move nothing can stop Him. Whatever stands in the way must give up at His coming. That is why you only need to allow God to be on the move in your life and you will Become unstoppable for the enemy.

THE GREAT RELEASE

Image
THE GREAT RELEASE Exodus 13:17-22 Devotional:- "So God led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea, and the children of Israel went up in orderly ranks out of the land of Egypt" (V. 18)      When the fullness of time came for a man to be free, God will surely open an unstoppable door before him so That he may be released to his glory. No matter what your destiny experiences today, in God, there is glory ahead of you. And you cannot compare the glory to the suffering of now (Romans 8:18).

THE BURNING BUSH

Image
THE BURNING BUSH Exodus 3:1-10 Devotional:- “And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed” (V. 2) NKJV      God is a God of wonders. One day He gave a revelation to Moses that can be of great blessing to us today. Moses was a man created to lead his people out of bondage like you. And when the time came for God to call him to his assignment, He created a great way to call for his attention to speak to Him. God revealed to Moses a bush that was burning with great fire but was not consumed. This was a revelation of great symbol.

VENGER OF ENEMY

Image
VENGER OF ENEMY Exodus 11:1-4 Devotional:- “Speak now in the hearing of the people, and let every man ask from his neighbor and every woman from her neighbor, articles of silver and articles of gold” (V. 2)      There is nothing happening that God does not know. When some people think they can cheat you and do away with it, they have no good knowledge of God. He will always avenge for His children. Nobody can escape with what belongs to you as a child of God. And that is why you should not try to cheat anyone too, neither should you rejoice of anyone's falling.

WISDOM TO GATHER

Image
WISDOM TO GATHER Genesis 41:46-57 Devotional:- “And Joseph gathered grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting for it could not be measured” (V. 49) AMPL      One of the great virtues that have eluded the life of many people on the earth is the inability to gather good fortune in life. This in turn produces poverty and an inability to achieve good and great things in life. Since many do not understand what is wrong with them, they then resort to looking for wealth through any means good or bad. But let me introduce you to a God who can teach you to profit and give you the power to gather good wealth.
