Topic : Love and Forgiveness.

Memory Verse: Mark 11:26. But if you will not release forgiveness, don’t expect your Father in heaven to release you from your misdeeds.”

Bible Reading : John 13:34-35 TPT. Key Verse : v35.

“So I give you now a new commandment: Love each other just as much as I have loved you. For when you demonstrate the same love I have for you by loving one another, everyone will know that you’re my true followers.”

This period on Sundays we are looking at the need for us not just to be ordinary worshippers, but to step up in boldness to become disciples of Christ indeed. That is God’s will for us and the main reason God had to appear on earth in the flesh….not only to save, but also to raise men or followers unto himself. Last week, I mentioned that one of the tragedies of Christianity in our days is that many fill our churches with misplaced priorities. They just want to solve some problems by the help of the Lord without any desire or intention to follow him or become his disciples. Now I want us to start looking at those qualities we must possess if we are true followers of Jesus Christ. Today we shall be looking at only two of those very important characteristics of a disciple. The two are love and forgiveness and they work hand in hand. Anywhere there’s genuine love, forgiveness becomes easy.

Now looking at love who I can say fathers forgiveness, Jesus taught us that our standard for love is himself and not any other person. In John 13: 34 he taught us expressly that every love and care we received from him as our source and king, we are to extend to other men we meet in the course of our lives on earth. He went further to explain in the next verse that when we love and show enough care for one another, men will know by our actions that we are followers of the master. “Delightfully loved ones, if he loved us with such tremendous love, then “loving one another” should be our way of life! No one has ever gazed upon the fullness of God’s splendor. But if we love one another, God makes his permanent home in us, and we make our permanent home in him, and his love is brought to its full expression in us. And he has given us his Spirit within us so that we can have the assurance that he lives in us and that we live in him.” 1 John 4:11-13.

One of the determinant factors of the presence of love as a lifestyle in any man or believer is the ability to forgive just like the master himself. In some occasions in the Bible, we had situations where men were terribly sick because of sins they committed, Christ forgave them on seeing their predicament, so that they could be healed, Luke 5:17-23, John 5:1-14. Again the people caught a woman in the act of adultery and wanted Jesus approval to stone her to death according to the laws of Moses. Rather than consent, Jesus made sure the people left her alone by demanding that any one of them who had no sin, should cast their stone first on the woman. After they dispersed, Jesus forgave her and told her to go and sin no more, John 8:3-11. Now I must point out that one the commonest sin found among believers of all class is unforgiveness, Matthew 18:21-22 . Lastly, there three things unforgiveness will do to any man, especially believers. They are : (1) Unforgiveness brings retardation to many believers in life in whatever they do and sometimes sickness. (2) It will be a hindrance to your prayers from being heard or answered. (3) No man who leaves this earth bearing unforgiveness can see Jesus in victory.

Prayer : Thank you Lord Jesus because whom you love you always instruct. From today, give me a heart that loves just like yourself. Help me to always forgive fellow men any time they offend me. Thank you for the grace to be like you in everything in Jesus precious name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic : Beyond Meeting Needs.

Memory Verse : John 6:41. When the Jews who were hostile to Jesus heard him say, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,” they immediately began to complain,

Bible Reading : John 6:25-27. Key Verse : v27.

When they finally found him, they asked him, “Teacher, how did you get here?” Jesus replied, “Let me make this very clear, you came looking for me because I fed you by a miracle, not because you believe in me. Why would you strive for food that is perishable and not be passionate to seek the food of eternal life, which never spoils? I, the Son of Man, am ready to give you what matters most, for God the Father has destined me for this purpose.”

Jesus just fed about five thousand men excluding women and children on the other side. After a hectic day of ministering to the people, he had compassion on the people because they were hungry and there wasn’t any place they could buy food because it was late and he didn’t want to send them home just like that. “Have everyone sit down,” Jesus said to his disciples. So on the vast grassy slope, more than five thousand hungry people sat down. Jesus then took the barley loaves and the fish and gave thanks to God. He then gave it to the disciples to distribute to the people. Miraculously, the food multiplied, with everyone eating as much as they wanted! When everyone was satisfied, Jesus told his disciples, “Now go back and gather up the pieces left over so that nothing will be wasted.” John 6:10-12.

At the end of it all, the people began to contemplate making him king because of the way he is able to meet their needs. He had to find a way out of that place. The next day, they sought after him till they found him. Because he is God and knew their mind, he began to let them know that they were not looking for him for the right reasons. The people was more concerned about what to eat and drink to satisfy their physical body. On the other hand, Jesus had a mission of selling the vision of God’s kingdom to them. He came to restore or build a spiritual man. He had a better food for their spirit man which they didn’t place any value on. The more he tried to sell himself to them as the real thing which is the word of God, the more they misunderstood him. “The truth is,” Jesus said, “Moses didn’t give you the bread of heaven. It’s my Father who offers bread that comes as a dramatic sign from heaven. The bread of God is the One who came out of heaven to give his life to feed the world.” John 6:32-33.

“Then please, sir, give us this bread every day,” they replied. Jesus said to them, “I am the Bread of Life. Come every day to me and you will never be hungry. Believe in me and you will never be thirsty.” John 6:34-35. Jesus is the word of God made flesh or in human form. Many people still make the mistake of going after what he has or can do for them when he is out to give us his entire self. The miracle worker himself is no doubt higher than any miracle we can get from him. When we have him with us or in our lives, ourselves will not need to seek miracles as we become empowered to produce the miracles ourselves anytime there is need because of his Spirit at work in our lives. “And these miracle signs will accompany those who believe: They will drive out demons in the power of my name. They will speak in tongues. They will be supernaturally protected from snakes and from drinking anything poisonous. And they will lay hands on the sick and heal them.” Mark 16:17-18.

Prayer : Thank you Father God for giving me Jesus. Lord Jesus I appreciate your interest in making me part of your spiritual kingdom on earth. Help me to to live beyond my immediate needs to receive deeper things you want to deposit in me by your Spirit, so that I can be a blessing to my generation in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic: Take Advantage Of His Partnership.

Memory Verse: Matthew 11:30. For all that I require of you will be pleasant and easy to bear.”

Bible Reading : Matthew 11:27-29 TPT. Key Verse: v29.

You have entrusted me with all that you are and all that you have. No one fully and intimately knows the Son except the Father. And no one fully and intimately knows the Father except the Son. But the Son is able to unveil the Father to anyone he chooses. “Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Then come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis. Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me.

One of the worst tragedies of life is to face life based entirely on human strength and wisdom. This is because of the limitations of human efforts and capacity in every endeavour. I keep saying it that God never designed man to live independent of him. Rather, we were created by him to also depend on him when our own ability gets exhausted. This doesn’t mean that we should be docile or wait on God for things we can and should always do. Depending on God rather is a life of consciousness that we came from him and needs his presence in whatsoever we do. It is having the understanding that without him nothing meaningful happens in life. Men who think they don’t need him in life most time discover when it is very late that they live on the wrong side of life. “The Lord sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts. He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor. “For the foundations of the earth are the Lord’s; on them he has set the world. He will guard the feet of his faithful servants, but the wicked will be silenced in the place of darkness. “It is not by strength that one prevails;” 1 Samuel 2:7-9 NIV.

Jesus wants to be our friend and partner, so that he can defend and shield us from the attacks or the enemy of our souls. He wants us to come with a sincere heart to him always, just the way we are. Jesus is never looking for perfect, but sincere men who have an inner hunger for him and enjoy living in his presence always. When we draw near to him as a friend, he is able to extend his ministry of help to us as well show us the right paths to follow in life. He also teaches us the ways of success without stress, as we depend on his strength and wisdom. ‭”So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. “All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish. Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them. Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all.” Isaiah 41:10-12 NIV.

This day Jesus is reminding you that he loves and cares about you so much as to die so that you may live. He is interested in every battles you faced in life, business, career, marriage, family, health, etc. that wearried you all this time. Bring him in and in faith too so that you can take a rest. Learn to partner with the Lord. As a partner in divine assignment don’t always look for what God will do for you, find out what yourself can do to warm yourself deeper into his own heart as a friend, lover and partner. By the time you finish labouring in his own field, you will return to yours to find out that even your personal works has been done. “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. John 14:21 KJV.

Prayer : Thank Lord Jesus for your unfettered love for me. Help me to understand the depths of your love for me and commitment to my well being. As live my life in partnership with you, let evidence of your mercy and goodness be seen in everything I do in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic : Time To Recover.

Memory Verse: ‭2 Kings 6:3. Then one of them said, “Won’t you please come with your servants?” “I will,” Elisha replied.

Bible Reading : ‭2 Kings 6:5-7 NIV‬. Key Verse : v6.

As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axhead fell into the water. “Oh no, my lord!” he cried out. “It was borrowed!” The man of God asked, “Where did it fall?” When he showed him the place, Elisha cut a stick and threw it there, and made the iron float. “Lift it out,” he said. Then the man reached out his hand and took it.

This time students of ministry under Elisha wanted to carry out an expansion work on their accomodation. It was possible that they had increased enrollment or patronage which began to tell on their facilities. Then, one of them came up with a suggestion that they go to Jordan and fetch woods so that they could carry out expansion work on the facility hosting them. When they got to Jordan where the trees or woods were located, they went to work. As they were cutting wood, an axe head one of the sons of the prophet or students was using, fell into the river. The user had to raise an alarm because the axe head wasn’t his, as it was borrowed. Fortunately enough, they were able to convince Elisha to go with them to Jordan for this exercise in the first place. When the man of God heard the cry of the lost axe head, he was touched, therefore he had to do something to help out of the situation.

The man of God did something that looked foolish to the eyes of everyone present, but that was what delivered the miracle. “The man of God asked, “Where did it fall?” When he showed him the place, Elisha cut a stick and threw it there, and made the iron float. “Lift it out,” he said. Then the man reached out his hand and took it.” 2 Kings 6:6-7. On a normal day, wood can never magnet or pull heavy iron out of any river bed. But because the power of God was present the rules or natural laws was altered as the piece of wood Elisha dipped into the river magnated and pulled the axe head off the river bed. Another interesting angle to what God did with the man of God in that situation was that the axe head floated (as heavy as it was), so that they could see and pick it.

Today we need to understand that Prophets are men God raises in every dispensation to use them and wipe away tears from the eyes of those who weep because of what they are passing through. When they come into a matter with the weight of grace, natural laws are always suspended. ‭”Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.” Jeremiah 1:9-10. This day, I want to introduce you to a dimension of God that uproots and tears down every plantings of the enemy in a man’s life. The power of God tears down and destroys every structure of the enemy in lives and families that brings pain and panic. The God we serve destroys the works of Satan and overthrows his wicked counsel anywhere they exist. That is the very reason Jesus Christ had to manifest on earth as a man though he is God. Today there is grace to build or rebuild whatever good thing you desire from God. Even what the enemy thought he destroyed are being rebuilt now. You are now being planted in God’s presence to flourish forever. Nothing good shall die in your hands anymore.

Prayer :Thank you Father God because you are the God of signs and wonders. Thank you because with you all things are possible. In the name of Jesus I destroy every structure of darkness in my life, business, career and family. By the mercies of God I recover every thing I lost in the past due to my mistakes or activities of the evil one in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic : Follow Divine Instructions.

Memory Verse: Deuteronomy 8:18. But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.

Bible Reading :‭Genesis 26:12-14 NIV‬. Key Verse : v26.

Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the Lord blessed him. The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy. He had so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.

One of the best thing that can happen to a man in his lifetime is to walk with God. The best place anyone can live anyday and anytime is in his presence. The walk that Abraham had with God in his lifetime became a ground of blessing to his descendants. The covenant of blessing God gave him robbed off on his son Isaac and continued. There was famine in the land and when Isaac got to Gérar, the Lord instructed him not to go further into Egypt, but to remain in Gérar for God to bless him there opposition notwithstanding. “The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live. Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham. ” Genesis 26:2-3.

Isaac followed divine instructions and settled down in Gérar. All his initial fears and challenges was taken care of as God granted him favor before Abimelech the king and put his fear in the heart of the Philistines. Because he was in the place of his place of his primary assignment, his blessing located him right where he was. He became so blessed, rich and waxed strong that the Philistines in who’s land he sojourned envied him. The more they tried to stop him, the stronger he waxed. “When the men of that place asked him about his wife, he said, “She is my sister,” because he was afraid to say, “She is my wife.” He thought, “Then Abimelek said to Isaac, “Move away from us; you have become too powerful for us.” So Isaac moved away from there and encamped in the Valley of Gerar, where he settled. [18] Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the time of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died, and he gave them the same names his father had given them.” Genesis 26:16-18.

Today we have to learn to be where God wants us to at any point in time, to enjoy his protection and blessings maximally. In his heart, Isaac desired to enter Egypt, but couldn’t in obedience to the voice of the Lord that came to him. In divine economy, obedience is always key to abundant blessings of God. One of the reasons we struggle much sometimes is because we fail to discern the voice of the Spirit, which exposes men to avoidable attack and losses. Again the Spirit of God is the greatest teacher of men. No one who follows his instructions can ever fail in life. ‭”So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today—to love the Lord your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul— then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil. I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.” Deuteronomy 11:13-15.

Prayer : Thank you Father God because you care so much about me. Let your Spirit be my guide and teacher in everything I do. Thank you because you will decorate my life with riches and wealth as I follow your leading obediently in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic : Exempted From Evil Report.

Memory Verse : ‭Exodus 8:23. I will make a distinction between my people and your people. This sign will occur tomorrow.’ ”

Bible Reading :‭Exodus 8:20-22 NIV‬. Key Verse: v22.

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning and confront Pharaoh as he goes to the river and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me. If you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies on you and your officials, on your people and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians will be full of flies; even the ground will be covered with them. “ ‘But on that day I will deal differently with the land of Goshen, where my people live; no swarms of flies will be there, so that you will know that I, the Lord, am in this land.

Here we see Pharaoh who was king of Egypt trying to stand on the way of divine agenda for the people of Israel. The word of God took it’s course in the lives of the people of Israel as spoken to Abraham. The Israelites saw themselves in the land of Egypt trying to survive the farmine of those days. What began with warm reception later became sour out of envy after Joseph and Pharaoh that worked with him died. Because God’s hand of blessing and increase was on the children of Israel, the Egyptians did everything within their reach to stop them. The people of Israel became slaves in Egypt in a bid to annihilate them. When the people of Israel cried out to God, he raised Moses to deliver his people from bondage in Egypt. “As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him. Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there. But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions.” Genesis 15:12-14.

When Moses arrived the palace of Pharaoh on this liberation mandate, the authorities of Egypt tried their best to stop him to no avail. Because Pharaoh was unwilling to allow the people of God to be free from the bondage of Egypt, so that they could serve their God without encumbrances, God had to bring divine judgement in the form of plagues upon the entire land of Egypt. These plagues happened as a result of disobedience to the word of God from the mouth of Moses and unkept promises on the side of Pharaoh. One thing was significant throughout the season of the plagues. That is the fact that in all the plaques the entire land of Egypt suffered, the Lord separated Goshen where the Israelites dwelt such. None of these divine judgements entered the territory of God’s people.

Today, we need to remember that we are living in the last days. Because many are living in disobedience to the word of God, they are going to suffer severe consequences. This will affect every sphere of livelihood including economies of men and nations who treat God and his children with leviity or who disobey the voice of true messengers of righteousness. There is need for every believer to consciously obey divine instructions in all we do as to dwell in present day spiritual Goshen (a place of safety) “……..just as God has said: I will make my home in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people. For this reason, “Come out from among them and be separate,” says the Lord. “Touch nothing that is unclean, and I will embrace you. I will be a true Father to you, and you will be my beloved sons and daughters,” says the Lord Yahweh Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:16b-18.

Prayer : Thank you Father God because your word will always come to pass in my life. In these last days, help me to live to reveverence and obey your voice all my days. Keep in the paths of righteousness and truth. In your mighty mercy, I and my loved ones shall be exempted from all forms of evil report in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic : Instructions From The Mouth Of David.

Memory Verse: 1 Corinthians 3:16. The Church, God’s Inner Sanctuary Don’t you realize that together you have become God’s inner sanctuary and that the Spirit of God makes his permanent home in you? (TPT)

Bible Reading : ‭1 Chronicles 28:8-10 NIV‬. Key Verse: v10.

“So now I charge you in the sight of all Israel and of the assembly of the Lord, and in the hearing of our God: Be careful to follow all the commands of the Lord your God, that you may possess this good land and pass it on as an inheritance to your descendants forever. “And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. Consider now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house as the sanctuary. Be strong and do the work.”

Before king David slept in the Lord, he prepared Solomon his son who succeeded him to build a temple for the Lord God of Israel. He also passed some vital instructions that will benefit us to Solomon that he should follow in order to walk in full flow of the blesings of the Lord, so that blessings can flow to the next generation and into the lives of his own children too. One of such instructors includes that he should follow or obey the voice and commands of the Lord. Following the Lord obediently is a key factor that will make any man warm himself into the hearts of the almighty for the release of the fulness of God’s blessings upon his life and generation. “If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God: You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
Deuteronomy 28:1-3.

Another key David gave Solomon his son in the main text is service flowing from a dedicated, committed and joyful heart. Solomon was instructed to serve the Lord God of Israel from the depths of hearts with unwavering commitment. He had to be totally devoted to God Almighty with a joyful and willing heart. This is because God doesn’t just take our service to him on surface value like men, rather he goes deep down to weigh our intentions and mindset in every engagement and commitment we have with him. Our mindset on the job most time determines how he scores us or responds to us with attendant rewards. “And without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God. For we come to God in faith knowing that he is real and that he rewards the faith of those who give all their passion and strength into seeking him.” Hebrews 11:6 TPT.

Another important fact we must not miss here is that the primary assignment for which Solomon was being commissioned was the building of the temple, which is a house for God. Today God has made it very clear to us that he doesn’t live in houses built by men. Rather, he lives in houses built by himself, which is man. This means that today, God is not only out to bless us when we serve him with a heart of love and devotion, he wants to live in us as to keep us company in everything we do daily. Again, it is good to point out here that the blesings God is releasing upon those who love and serve him is meant to spill over to men around us including generations unborn for our sake, when we serve him diligently. “The benevolent man leaves an inheritance that endures to his children’s children, but the wealth of the wicked is treasured up for the righteous. The lovers of God will live a long life and get to enjoy their wealth, but the ungodly will suddenly perish.” Proverbs 13:22-23 TPT.

Prayer : Thank you Father God for whom you love, you will always instruct. Help me to always delight in obeying your commands and serving you with joy. Let my body be a place of habitation for your Spirit. Make me a man that you can always depend on in Jesus wonderful name… Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic : Condition For Manifesting His Power.

Memory Verse : Mark 4:19. but they allow the cares of this life and the seduction of wealth and the desires for other things to crowd out and choke the Word so that it produces nothing.

Bible Reading :Luke 9:23-25. Key Verse : v25.

Jesus said to all of his followers, “If you truly desire to be my disciple, you must disown your life completely, embrace my ‘cross’ as your own, and surrender to my ways. For if you choose self-sacrifice, giving up your lives for my glory, you will embark on a discovery of more and more of true life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will lose what you try to keep. Even if you gained all the wealth and power of this world, everything it could offer you, yet lost your soul in the process, what good is that?

The primary reason Jesus came and died to save us is to prepare each and every one of us for ministry. The early followers of Jesus was trained by experience to do the work of God. From the beginning of Luke chapter 9, Jesus sent them out with power and authority to heal the sick and cast out devils, as they preached and taught about the appearance of the awaited kingdom of God on earth. The results they got and reports they came back with was amazing. They were still basking in the euphoria of that exercise when they witnessed the miracle of feeding of five thousand men excluding women and children with just five loaves of bread and two roasted fishes. At this point their appetite for more of God and his power was soaring within their hearts, as they wanted more. Now the master seeing their mind began to let them know what it takes to carry God’s power in a man’s life in a sustained measure. We will try to look at some these conditions that Jesus taught them and ourselves briefly.

Jesus taught us here that the first and most important factor that will enable anyone to carry his glory in his life is that we must first be his disciples or followers. This means that as Jesus came to the earth not seeking to do his own will as a man, but that of the father, we also have to live with such mindset. A man of God once described it as a life of abandonment. That is a situation where you intentionally give up your personal life in the manner of every other person around you, so that you can carry his presence anywhere you go. This happens when we have decided to embrace the cross and all that it stands for. At this point in a man’s life, the journey of discovery of life beyond the surface or what the eyes can see (true life) begins. The word rightly said that we can only reign with him when we suffer with him. “For when you live controlled by the flesh, you are about to die. But if the life of the Spirit puts to death the corrupt ways of the flesh, we then taste his abundant life.” Romans 8:13.

The challenge here is that many care less about eternity and all that goes with it. People are more concerned about what happens here and now. They want to make name here on earth and be counted, which is not bad, but not at the expense of their eternity. One thing that destroys the faith of many and renders it impotent is the pursuits of things of this life. “Don’t set the affections of your heart on this world or in loving the things of the world. The love of the Father and the love of the world are incompatible. For all that the world can offer us—the gratification of our flesh, the allurement of the things of the world, and the obsession with status and importance—none of these things come from the Father but from the world. This world and its desires are in the process of passing away, but those who love to do the will of God live forever. soul or their eternity.” 1 John 2:15-17.

Prayer :Thank you Father God because you created me to carry your power inside of me. Help me to live a surrendered life before you. Keep me from anything that wants to choke your presence in my life. Let my life be such you can always depend on to achieve your purpose here on earth in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic : Fruitfulness By Choice.

Memory Vera : ‭Psalms 1:3. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.

Bible Reading :‭Psalms 1:1-3 NIV‬. Key Verse :v2.

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.

God gave every man opportunity to succeed and be blessed in life. However what any man becomes at the end of the day is always dependent of the choices we make in life daily. As we enter a brand new month, many people are trusting God for one thing or another. Now we need to be reminded today that the blesings of the Lord are always conditional. It is true that we receive everything from the Lord by grace and from the point of mercy. At the same time this grace and mercy we enjoy, we must note will always place some demands on us. One of the mistakes we make sometimes is to believe God to keep his part of the promises even when ourselves are unwilling or careless in keeping our part of the covenant. I want us to look closely again at the scriptures above and see some conditions the Spirit of God wants us to meet to enjoy his uninterrupted flow of his blessing this now and onwards.

The first condition as we can see here is that we have to be careful about the company we keep, people we stay around or that hang around us always. This is because such men can easily influence us to do what themselves are doing, if we are not careful to know when to withdraw from them and their ungodly influence. This is because the word of God rightly said that evil communication corrupts good manners. Some people found themselves doing what they shouldn’t have done because they allowed wrong people into their lives who ended up influencing them negatively. Wrong people will always come with baggages that will change the flow of things in the lives of their hosts. I recently heard a man of God say that one of the reasons many don’t access God’s power is because they keep company on those who talk down on the power or things of God. Such men will want you to believe that the devil who is a creature is more powerful than his creator, God almighty. They take the grace and things of God for granted and treat them with utmost levity. “Above all, you must understand that in the last days mockers will multiply, chasing after their evil desires. They will say, “So what about this promise of his coming? Our ancestors are dead and buried, yet everything is still the same as it was since from the beginning of time until now.” 2 Peter 3:3-4.

On a very important note, another key that will make you to succeed in the new month and forever is to live in an atmosphere of faith. The word of God said that without faith, no man can please God or receive anything from him. Again faith comes by hearing or studying of the word to feed our spirit man. Without the sincere milk of the word, the newborn child of God can’t grow. Even when we are mature, we still need the meat of the word to maintain in sound spiritual health. That is when we develop the right capacity to bear fruits as men who live or are planted in his presence continuously. ‭”Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:8-9.

Prayer : Thank you Father God for the love you have for me. Thank you for for every resources you have made available to me to help have a good and fruitful earthly life. Thank you for your covenant of blessing and fruitfulness over my life. Help me to always keep my part always because you are too faithful to fail in Jesus wonderful name… Amen 🙏🏿.

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Friday May 31st, 2024.

Topic : Beyond The Surface.

Memory Verse: 1 Corinthians 1:7. So now you aren’t lacking any spiritual gift as you eagerly await the unveiling of the Lord Jesus, the Anointed One.

Bible Reading. 1 Corinthians 1:4-6 TPT. Key Verse : v6.

I am always thanking my God for you because he has given you such free and open access to his grace through your union with Jesus, the Messiah. In him you have been made extravagantly rich in every way. You have been endowed with a wealth of inspired utterance and the riches that come from your intimate knowledge of him. For the reality of the truth of Christ is seen among you and strengthened through your experience of him.

One of the challenges we have in the body of Christ today is that majority of the the people lack genuine and deep experience of the master himself. This happens because many seems to just want to relate with God as a problem solver alone. They lack any serious desire to know him personally and to relate with him on individual basis. They keep hanging of the general experience of God in the place of general fellowship which they do nothing to build on afterwards. Having said that, it’s good to point out that what Jesus initiated by his sacrifice on the cross is a life of union with man. The best way to explain this union is what happens in a marriage, where two different individuals that come from two different background and experiences of life come together to become one in everything they do. They build a home and begins to live a life of partnership or a life that serves or protects the interest of the other party.

“It is good that you are enthusiastic and passionate about spiritual gifts, especially prophecy. When someone speaks in tongues, no one understands a word he says, because he’s not speaking to people, but to God—he is speaking intimate mysteries in the Spirit. But when someone prophesies, he speaks to encourage people, to build them up, and to bring them comfort.” 1 Corinthians 14:1-3. God releases blessings upon his children to meet their needs and desires. When the people of God have no desire, they may hardly get even what they need. Every child of God here is encouraged here to desire not only to prophesy, but to operate in other gifts of the Spirit. When most people in a congregation are spiritual or pursue spiritual gifts in their lives genuinely, we are able to build a mature, healthy and vibrant church.

Today as an individual, what are you doing about your relationship with Jesus? Are you in church just to be solving problems without any serious commitment to Jesus our saviour? Are you aware of the fact that there are riches and wealth of the kingdom God wants to drop on your life or entrust unto your care for service, if only you can be willing and hungry enough to go for them? We need to understand that it is God’s will to grant us access to deep things in Christ Jesus by the channel of his Spirit given unto us. We need to mature as to walk in the reality of every embodiment of truth in Christ. Then can we walk in his strength made possible by our deep knowledge or experience of him. We can then say like Apostle Paul…. “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13 NIV‬.

Prayer :Thank you Father God because of your unfailing love. Thank you Jesus for coming down to my level to live in me through your Spirit. From today help me to live a live of union with you in reality. Let my life be such that is always available for your use in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
