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...

SING THROUGH

SING THROUGH Daniel 3:15-30 Devotional:- "Look!" he answered, "I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God."” (v.25) NKJV      It is of great importance that we have the awareness of God’s power that resides in praising God. God told me that the world has seen His power through the word and prayer, but has yet to see the greatest of His power, which is through praise. The devil, having understood the mysterious power of God through praises, often keeps us away from it by trick, but we are outwitting him from now on.

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE Mark 9:14-27 Devotional:- “Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes”” (V.23) NKJV      We need to come to the awareness of the potency of the God we serve. He can do all things. He created the heavens and the earth. He created the mountains and the sea; He parted the Red Sea; He brought water from the rock, and what else can He not do? If you see any great and good thing happening in the life of anyone today, it is through Him and there is nothing He cannot do (Luke 1:37, John 3:27).

TESTIMONY TRIGGER

TESTIMONY TRIGGER I Samuel 17:32-37  Devotional:- “Moreover David said, "The LORD, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." And Saul said to David, "Go, and the LORD be with you!” (V. 37) NKJV      Testimony has been the trigger of strength in the life of men from the beginning. Testimonies are the events during which God, by His supernatural intervention, beyond your imagination, rescued you from trouble. These are times you might have lost all hope, and God helped you miraculously. Sometimes a man may be sick to the point of death, and yet God rescues him. Many of us do not know the power and purpose of testimonies.

SAME FEATHER

SAME FEATHER Hebrews 17:23-29 Devotional:- “By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter” (v.24) NKJV      Many people today are still victims of wrong association. They move with people who move them away from Christ. This is simply because of the few benefits enjoyed from such groups. But the truth is that if you don’t join the flyers, you may never fly. The reason so many lives are down today is because of the kind of floor people they are moving with.

EAGLE’S WING

EAGLE’S WING Deuteronomy 32:7-13  Devotional:- “As an eagle stirs up its nest, Hovers over its young, Spreading out its wings, taking them up, Carrying them on its wings,” (V. 11) NKJV      Among many birds of the earth, the eagle is a bird with a special and unique feature. It’s a bird created with the ability to fly higher than many other birds. It could fly thousands of feet above sea level. It has a unique eye that, even from thousands feet level, it can see the smallest rat on the floor. And it can come down so fast to catch such animals.

WINGS OF HIS GRACE

WINGS OF HIS GRACE 2 Corinthians 6:1-10 Devotional:- “We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain” (V.. 1) NKJV      Many children of God today are wasters of the grace of God. As ignorant as many Christians are, they don't often want to hear the teachings about the grace of God. I have heard many Christians complain that it is the teaching of grace that has made sin multiply in the church. So many Christians desire to be governed by the Old Testament rather than the gospel of grace.

DESPERATION

DESPERATION Mark 10:46-52  Devotional:- “Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"” (v. 48) NKJV      Every glorious achievement is always a product of a desperate attitude. If a man is not desperate, his chances of winning in life will be so small. To be desperate is to be all out to get something with a strong push from within that is unmindful of hindrances. Desperation is a product of determination and discovery.

FLIGHT BY FAITH

FLIGHT BY FAITH Hebrews 11:29-34 Devotional:- “who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions” (V. 33) NKJV      One of the strengths you will ever need to take off in life is the strength of faith. The sky is not a natural home for any object. Whatever is there and sustained there must have been upheld by the power of God. Many forces would have been acting on them to bring them down, but the power of God sustains them. And if it is going to involve God to take and hold you in life, then it will be by faith, for without faith it is impossible to receive anything from God.

DETERMINATION

DETERMINATION Luke 19:1-10  Devotional:- “So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way” (v.4) NKJV      One of the unbeatable strengths of life is determination. The reason most people fail in life is because their level of determination is very low. When a man is determined to do something, all other things would be in support of his efforts till he succeeds. It is determination that makes a man run a race without feeling the pain.

DISCOVER YOURSELF

DISCOVER YOURSELF John 1:19-28 Devotional:- “He said: "I am 'The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Make straight the way of the LORD,"' as the prophet Isaiah said" (v. 23) NKJV       In the school of success, one of the primary demands is self-discovery. The lack of it is the reason for all the confusion in the world today. No one can succeed by being another person. Life will be full of struggle and constraints if a man is not himself.

LIMITED TIME

LIMITED TIME John 9:1-12 Devotional:- “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work” (v. 4) NKJV       Until a man wakes up to know the value of time, he may not be able to maximize his life and destiny. We often look at time as something of no value. It is only the economist and investors that actually appreciate the value of time. They know that money invested will yield greatly with time. So they know that time is as important as money.

BUSINESS

BUSINESS  Luke 2:41-52 Devotional:- “And He said to them, "Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?” (V. 49) NKJV      Our destinies on earth may never be attained if we do not approach them with a business perspective. If any man takes life easy and will not pursue it diligently and reasonably, he may be used up in life. Business comes from the word busy, and the opposite word is idleness. Idleness does not mean not working alone; it is also when there is no diligence and reasonable pursuit of your work.

FEATHER OF FAITHFULNESS

FEATHER OF FAITHFULNESS Luke 16:9-13 Devotional:- Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? (v.11) NKJV.       It is of great importance for every bird that will be able to fly to have a true feather. That which can be trusted. Just Iike a trusted accelerator of an automobile. Many people do not know that the principles of God stand sure. And God will not compromise His standard, one of the standards of God to promote a man financially is ability to faithfully keep to God's commandments.

SEIZING OPPORTUNITY

SEIZING OPPORTUNITY Ecclesiastes 9:9-12 Devotional:- “I returned and saw under the sun that- The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all” (V 11) NKJV       Sometimes when one looks at this life, it looks mysterious, so much that some people think they cannot drink a cup of water will be breaking bones. Some people you expect to be accomplished mountain climbers will not even be able to take ten steps before they are weak. Someone may teach another, and they both sit for the same examination.

AS YOU CAN SEE

AS YOU CAN SEE Genesis 13:7-18  Devotional:- for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever” (v.15) NKJV      As much as the experience of life is a very good subject in the school of wisdom, so much it could be a factor of destruction for many people. To many, instead of their experience making them gain wisdom, it is rather making them lose their faith in God.

LOOK FORWARD

LOOK FORWARD Philippians 3:12-16 Devotional:- “...but one thing I do forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead (v.13)       It is a clear thing to us all that there is no one walking and looking backwards who will not find an accidental occurrence. It is therefore very delicate to be driving and keep looking backwards. Such a vehicle will not find it easy to arrive where it is going. Yet, this is how many people live their lives.

HONOUR THE LORD

HONOUR THE LORD Daniel 4:27-37 Devotional:- “Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment…” (v.37) KJV       The reason why so many people find it difficult to keep rising in life is that they do not know how to always honour the Lord. This is so because many have not realise that by strength shall no man prevail (1 Samuel 2:9). God’s word says, it’s not by power nor by might but by my spirit says the Lord (Zechariah 4:6). Most people often think within themselves that it is by their strength and power they’ve attained their goals.

VOW INSTINCT

VOW INSTINCT Genesis 28:18-22 Devotional:- “if God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on” (v.20) KJV          There are so many practices we read in the Word of God with our mere eyes that should have done our lives a great good if they are embraced. One of them is vows. Vow here means making a promise to God or man if he helps you.

SACRIFICE

SACRIFICE Genesis 8:15-22  Devotional:- Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offering on it” (v. 20) NIV      Believers need to purge their minds of earthly beliefs and philosophies that are contrary to the word of God to be able to enjoy the best of God. Most people don’t want to ever hear teachings of sacrifice because something in man will always want to resist the way of God, but our flesh will only want to sanction the things of the Spirit.

RUNNING WITH VISION

RUNNING WITH VISION Habakkuk 2:1-4 Devotional:- “And the LORD answered me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain Upon tables, that he may run that readeth it” (v.2) KJV      So many people run with all their effort in this world, but to no avail. Many people often depend upon their strength in this part of the world, so they run daily on their strength. They do not know that the word of God says, “it’s not by power nor by might, but my spirit says the Lord (Zechariah 4:6). God’s word says, by strength shall no man prevail (I Samuel 2:9).

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.
