Topic : The Blessing Of Obedience.

Memory Verse : Deuteronomy 7:11. Therefore, take care to follow the commands, decrees and laws I give you today.

‭Deuteronomy 7:12-13 NIV‬. Key Verse : v13.

If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the Lord your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your ancestors. He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—your grain, new wine and olive oil—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.

One of the qualities of a disciple of Jesus Christ is that he obeys his commands. We relate with God in the new testament on the basis of grace. At the same time, we need to understand that grace teaches us to obey the Lord willingly and joyfully. God has never been and can never be pleased with anyone walking in disobedience. Even today, we need to understand that everything God does in the life of his people is determined by our personal response to him. For example, no one can be saved without believing in Jesus Christ. It is a condition for salvation as stipulated by the laws of God which anyone desiring to enjoy salvation as packaged by God in his son must embrace. If anyone thinks he doesn’t need Jesus, he will remain in his sins because the word of God can’t be broken. ‭”Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”” Acts 4:12.

In like manner, we know that the covenant blessings of God belongs to his children or followers. We need to realise at the same time that the condition for us to enjoy the full measure of these blessings in to obey his commands. Now we are following the example of our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave us instructions to follow before returning to heaven, like in the area of evangelism and soul winning. If you watch his earthly life closely, you will discover that he lived to obey or do the will of the father. He wasn’t here to do his own bidding, but at every point in his ministry, he sought to obey the father, even in very difficult and inconvenient situations. “Then he withdrew from them a short distance to be alone. Kneeling down, he prayed, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup of agony away from me. But no matter what, your will must be mine.”” Luke 22:41-42 TPT.

There are many blessings to enjoy from God’s presence when we follow Jesus Christ, if only we are ready to walk in obedience before him. When we confess and claim the blessings of God as contained in his word, we should at the same time be careful to observe as to obey every commandments of the Lord attached to them. We begin to reap the fruits of fellowship and Discipleship at the point of doing the word or putting them into practice. That is when the word releases the capacity to produce results in our hands and lives. “But those who set their gaze deeply into the perfecting law of liberty are fascinated by and respond to the truth they hear and are strengthened by it—they experience God’s blessing in all that they do! If someone believes they have a relationship with God but fails to guard his words then his heart is drifting away and his religion is shallow and empty. True spirituality that is pure in the eyes of our Father God is to make a difference in the lives of the orphans, and widows in their troubles, and to refuse to be corrupted by the world’s values.” James 1:25-27 TPT.

Prayer : Thank you Lord Jesus for living on earth to obey the father. Like yourself, help me by your Spirit to always obey your commands to me, so that your blessings can be real in my daily life in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic :Everything We Need Is in Christ.

Memory Verse :‭Colossians 2:4 I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.

Bible Reading : ‭Colossians 2:20-22 NIV‬. Key Verse : v22.

Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings.

One of the strategies of the devil this end time is to keep the church of Jesus busy with things that doesn’t have any meaningful impact in the lives of men. Some of these are often repeated activities that cannot effect real changes in the lives of men. One of such devices includes rules and regulations. Rules and regulations are not bad because they help to enforce orderliness in any organisation or environment, but they don’t change the lives of men. The gospel we need to know was designed by the Holy Spirit to transform everyone that is able to open the door of their heart to receive same.‭ “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne.” Revelation 3:20-21.

After we receive Christ, the most important thing is to go for anything that encourages growth and maturity. Spiritual growth is always possible when we are conscious of the need of the power of God in our personal lives. That is when can show enough hunger for a life controlled by the Holy Spirit. His presence in any life is a step in the right direction for a life of fellowship with God almighty. This fellowship or relationship with our maker makes available to any man the life and power of God to us by the help of his in dwelling Spirit and through his word. This is key to live above every form of falsehood and deceit of men out of pride. ‭”Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind.” Colossians 2:18

Today, we must not forget that Jesus paid every price for us to be redeemed on the cross. Nothing else need to be added to what he did. We have to believe and totally depend on what he had done to live victorious. All we need to do now is to make every possible effort to know him by experience through relationship. That is key to a life of faith and strength that produces results in him. Deep knowledge of him through revelation, opens us up to enormous spiritual resources that makes our Christianity rich in impact anywhere we find ourselves. ‭”My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Colossians 2:2-3.

Prayer :Thank Lord Jesus for doing a complete work of redemption on the cross. I pray that you open me up to understand all you have done for me as I fellowship with you daily. Thank you for making me most fruitful in you in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿

Topic : You Believe To Receive.

Memory Verse :‭Hebrews 11:6. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Bible Reading : ‭2 Kings 7:1-2 NIV‬. Key Verse :v2.

Elisha replied, “Hear the word of the Lord. This is what the Lord says: About this time tomorrow, a seah of the finest flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.” The officer on whose arm the king was leaning said to the man of God, “Look, even if the Lord should open the floodgates of the heavens, could this happen?” “You will see it with your own eyes,” answered Elisha, “but you will not eat any of it!”

The famine in the land of Samaria this time in history was so severe that two women could loose compassion for their children as to agree to kill their sons for food which is unheard of before and after that time. These women agreed to slaughter their sons for food one at a time. After they ate the son of the first woman in the first day, the second woman hid her son when it was her turn to surrender her own son to be eaten. This caused a sharp argument and fight that drew the attention of the king who was passing by as the bereaved woman asked for help or justice. ‭”The king replied, “If the Lord does not help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor? From the winepress?” Then he asked her, “What’s the matter?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we’ll eat my son.’ So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him,’ but she had hidden him.” When the king heard the woman’s words, he tore his robes. As he went along the wall, the people looked, and they saw that, under his robes, he had sackcloth on his body.” 2 Kings 6:27-30.

The king had to go for the head of Elisha who was God’s voice at that point in time. The man of God told the men sent by the king that tomorrow there would be a miracle as prices of food will crash. Because the famine in thirst place was induced by a prolonged siege of the enemy Syrian army. The king’s special assistant or Aid De Camp, doubted it because he was looking at the reality of things. That made the man of God to pronounce that he will see it but won’t partake of it. The next day, when God finally broke the siege and used the weakest or least of men (lepers) to announce it, the kings special assistant was appointed to oversee or coordinate distribution of the excess food that fleeing Syrian soldiers abandoned for the word of God to be fulfilled. He singularly died in the place of his new assignment as a result of stampede for the word of the man of God be fulfilled .

Today, we need to understand that the blesings or interventions of God comes by promises. The people who can access and utilise them therefore are men who dare to believe God against all odds. People doubt most time because when God is speaking, the situation always look the same because God himself speaks into the future in order to affect the needed changes. Whatever you are going through now, remember the promises (word) of God that addressed such. Hold on to them and run with them because his promises are dependable. ‭”As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.” Isaiah 55:10-12.

Prayer:Thank you Father God because your words are dependable. Today, I refuse to fix my gaze on challenges, but pay attention to what you are saying. Thank you because you have the capacity to bring your word to pass in my life and situation, circumstances notwithstanding in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic : The Widow And Elisha.

Memory Verse : ‭2 Kings 4:3. Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few.

‭2 Kings 4:1-2 NIV‬. Key Verse : v2.

The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.” Elisha replied to her, “How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” “Your servant has nothing there at all,” she said, “except a small jar of olive oil.”

Here we see a widow whose late husband was a Bible student that owed money before he died. Not only that, he used his two sons as collateral when he was borrowing the money. Now that he died and the wife had nothing to use and pay, the creditor came for her only consolation after she lost her husband in the form of her two sons. Not knowing what to do and whom to run to, she ran to Elisha the main of God for help. The man of God gave her a simple instruction that sounded foolish to ordinary men. When she obeyed, that became the beginning of her turn around testimony. ‭”Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few. Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side.” She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one.” But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing.” 2 Kings 4:3-6.

The widow humbly obeyed the voice of the servant of God. She didn’t talk to anyone who would have discouraged her, but went about borrowing vessels as much as she could lay hands on with her sons. When the house was filled up, they locked up the house and began to pour to fill the borrowed empty vessels. The flow of oil didn’t stop till the sons confirmed that there was no extra vessel to fill. Now she went back to the man of God to gladly confirm the miracle with him. At this point, the man of God sent her back to go and sell off the stock and return to pay up her debt and live on the excess proceeds of the miracle oil. “She went and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left.”” 2 Kings 4:7.

Today we have to learn that no situation we find ourselves in is hopeless or irredeemable before the Lord. When we are in trouble and seem not to know what to do or whom to talk to, the best person to run to in times of distress is the God that can do all things. Elisha was there as a man representing God, her running to him for help was same thing as running to God because God always work through men. Another lesson to learn here is that walking with God sometimes may demand us walking on lonely paths. If the widow her told her friends what she asked to do by Elisha or brought them into the process, they might have inflicted her with doubts and discouragement, which would have kept her at same spot. On a third note, if God must bless a man, the person have to lay hands on something. The man of God asked her, what she had which God can use as a contact point to release her blessing. Thank God she had some little oil the Lord could multiply. Finally, we have to learn that in every labour, there’s increase as contained in the book of proverbs. The man of God sent her to work and birth her debt free life by the help of the almighty.

Prayer :Thank you Father God because with you all things are possible. Thank you because no man that runs to you for help returns empty handed. Today I ask that you manifest your intervention in……. (mention them). Thank you for answering me in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic : Blessings Of Obedience.

Memory Verse : ‭Romans 8:14. For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.

Bible Reading :‭Exodus 23:20-22 NIV‬. Key Verse : v22

“See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared. Pay attention to him and listen to what he says. Do not rebel against him; he will not forgive your rebellion, since my Name is in him. If you listen carefully to what he says and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you.

The children of Israel was on their way to Canaan, the land of promise after the Lord brought them out of the bondage of Egypt by a mighty hand. At this point they were given promises of good things that will be their portion on the condition that they recognise and obey the voice of the angel of God’s presence assigned to lead them through the wilderness. They were to carefully listen to, as to obey the voice of the angel of God. When they do that, the Lord himself will be an enemy to their enemies and will help them to posses the land of promise by the power that makes him God Almighty. They were also commanded not to serve any other but the Lord their God who is the creator of heaven and earth. Obedience was key to them enjoying divine presence, protection health the preservative power of the Almighty.

‭”Worship the Lord your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you, and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span. “I will send my terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn their backs and run.” Exodus 23:25-27. When your food and water is blessed, you will have peace. You will have an enabling environment to enjoy the daily blessings of God bestowed on you. Not only that you will walk in divine health, as well as enjoy divine preservation. Not only that, the presence of the Lord in your camp will command his mighty acts that will cause panic in the camp of your enemies. The testimony of Rahab to the men Joshua sent to search out Jericho is a confirmation to this fact.

‭”and said to them, “I know that the Lord has given you this land and that a great fear of you has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you. We have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan, whom you completely destroyed. When we heard of it, our hearts melted in fear and everyone’s courage failed because of you, for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below.” Joshua 2:9-11. Today, you need to realise that these and more are the blessings you enjoy by covenant when you serve and obey the voice of the Lord in your lifetime, even now. When you have this understanding, anytime the enemy brings something contrary, you will be bold enough to confront him as to send him packing from your territory. James 4:7.

Prayer : Thank you Father God for being my guide through the journey of life. Give me a heart that obeys your voice all the time. As I walk in obedience before you, let these covenant blessings as contained in your word be my portion in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic : The Beauty Of Divine Favour And Help.

Memory Verse : ‭Isaiah 49:11. I will turn all my mountains into roads, and my highways will be raised up.

Bible Reading :‭Isaiah 49:8-10 NIV‬. Key Verse : v8.

This is what the Lord says: “In the time of my favor I will answer you, and in the day of salvation I will help you; I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land and to reassign its desolate inheritances, to say to the captives, ‘Come out,’ and to those in darkness, ‘Be free!’ “They will feed beside the roads and find pasture on every barren hill. They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water.

Every man on earth needs favour and help to succeed in life. A moment of favour changes things in the lives of men and rapidly too. Anytime men encounter the favour of God in their lifetime, everything about them wears a new look. “He said, “If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by. Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant.” “Very well,” they answered, “do as you say.””Genesis 18:3-5. When God appeared to Abraham in the plains of Mamre, favour compelled divinity to enter the house of a man as a friend to spend time with him and his family. The resultant effect of that meeting was the birth of Isaac and the deliverance of Lot and his family from destruction.

Help delivers to a man what his personal efforts and struggles cannot. The help of men has limits, but help that comes from God’s presence do have inexhaustible positive effect. Man from the beginning was designed to need help or depend on another or a higher power who is the creator himself. Help provides us with an extra hand that multiplies impact and achievements. The first thing God gave Adam after creating him was Eve, a woman and a type of helper he needed as life companion. Divine help make capacity available to men and gives them great leap into greatness and relevance in life. ‭”I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. 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.” Isaiah 41:9-11.

Today the favour and help of the Lord is locating you wherever you are if you are trusting him. The resultant effect of the operation of divine favour and help is divine recovery and restoration in every part of your life. ‭”But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord, ‘because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares.’ “This is what the Lord says: “ ‘I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents and have compassion on his dwellings; the city will be rebuilt on her ruins, and the palace will stand in its proper place. From them will come songs of thanksgiving and the sound of rejoicing. I will add to their numbers, and they will not be decreased; I will bring them honor, and they will not be disdained. Their children will be as in days of old, and their community will be established before me; I will punish all who oppress them. ” Jeremiah 30:17-20.

Prayer : Thank you Father God because you are the author of divine favour and help. Thank you for anointing me with fresh oil of favour today. Thank you for every destiny helper you are sending into my life. I worship you for total recovery and restoration in every part of my life in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic : Your Case Will Be Different.

Memory Verse : John 11:26. And the one who lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

Bible Reading : John 11:23-25 TPT. Key Verse : v25.

Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise and live.” She replied, “Yes, I know he will rise with everyone else on resurrection day.” “Martha,” Jesus said, “You don’t have to wait until then. I am the Resurrection, and I am Life Eternal. Anyone who clings to me in faith, even though he dies, will live forever.

The resurrection of Lazarus from the dead was a landmark miracle that made many believe in Jesus Christ. The Bible recorded that Jesus and Lazarus/his family had a very close relationship. Because of that, when Lazarus was sick and dying they sent a message to him, to see if he could be of help. “In the village of Bethany there was a man named Lazarus, and his sisters, Mary and Martha. Mary was the one who would anoint Jesus’ feet with costly perfume and dry his feet with her long hair. One day Lazarus became very sick to the point of death. So his sisters sent a message to Jesus, “Lord, our brother Lazarus, the one you love, is very sick. Please come!” When he heard this, he said, “This sickness will not end in death for Lazarus, but will bring glory and praise to God. This will reveal the greatness of the Son of God by what takes place.” John 11:1-4.

Jesus delayed for about three days from when he got the message before he could start his journey to Bethany to see the one he loved. By the time he arrived bethany, Lazarus was dead and buried for about four good days, which made the situation hopeless before all men. On arrival, Martha was the first to know that he was around and she ran to meet the master. When Martha met Jesus, she acknowledged that if Jesus had come on time, his brother must have lived. Then Jesus began to tell her that Lazarus will live again, which she didn’t understand where Jesus was going as she thought that it was all about resurrecting on the last day. At this point in time, they knew Jesus was the Messiah and they had seen him work miracles, but they couldn’t imagine that a man dead and buried for about four days could resurrect from the dead. Jesus had to try to show them a new dimension of his divinity. That is the dimension of being a creator and the life giving Spirit that gives life to every living soul. “Through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him. The Word was the source of life, and this life brought light to humanity.” John 1:3-4 GNB.

At the end of the day, Jesus the creator and life giver didn’t need too much explanations, but called Lazarus whose situation looked hopeless before all men back to life. He came out of the grave on his own and lived again at the command of the Lord and to the amazement of all. Today just like Lazarus and his family, you need to understand that your relationship with Jesus Christ secures you and everything you have. Because he is the creator, he can always create anything you desire by your own spoken words and in his name, whatsoever that is good the enemy thought they destroyed in your life shall be restored. This means that your own case will always be different. The implication of all this is that nothing good can die in your hands because of Jesus Christ who has become your friend and life companion by the help of his Spirit residing and at work in you. “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.” Isaiah 43:2 NIV‬.

Prayer :Thank you Lord Jesus because your presence in my life makes all the difference. Thank you because nothing good shall die in my hands. Thank you because what stops other men in my lifetime won’t be able to stop me. I worship you because my own case will always be different in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic : Dying To Self And The World.

Memory Verse :‭ Colossians 3:4. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

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

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

Today we are continuing our journey to look at what it takes to be a follower or disciple of Jesus Christ as believers. Every one that attends our churches believes in Jesus Christ no doubt. But just believing only is not enough because the word of God says that even the devil believes and trembles before him as God. The fact is that believing in him is the first step unto salvation. For that salvation to be effective and have a voice of impact here on earth, we must take another step further to become followers of him that saved us. He saved us from eternal death and destruction, so that we can live for him. To live for Jesus implies following him daily. The church therefore surpose to be a place where men are taught on how to follow Jesus Christ in practicality. The beauty of following the master is that it gives him the right platform to make men. He told Peter after the draught, follow me and I will make you…. The reason many people inside our churches are not being made is because their interest or intention in the first place is never to follow him, but to enjoy his benevolence.

Now looking at Colossians 3, as contained in our text above, another condition that we have to meet as disciples of Jesus Christ is that we have to die with him first in order to live for Jesus Christ. One of the challenges we have today is that some try to jump the process. Truth is that no man who had not been to the cross with Jesus can have a new life in him. The new life will remain a mirage as long as we don’t willingly go to the cross with him just like himself willingly obeyed the father. On the cross we have to crucify our selfish desires and the desires of the world, to be able to keep our minds with him. Christianity becomes a struggle and sometimes fake when this process is ignored.
““My old identity has been co-crucified with Messiah and no longer lives; for the nails of his cross crucified me with him. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave himself for me, and dispenses his life into mine!” Galatians 2:20 TPT.

The proof of this new life; where a man dies to things he loved in the past and reprogram his mind to live to honour Jesus as Lord in reordered priorities is Discipleship. At this point our focus in life changes in entirety. That is what it takes to seek that which are above where Christ himself is seated. If truly we are seated together with him in the heavenly places in the spirit realm, that new placement must affect the way we live and do things daily. ‭”But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus .” Ephesians 2:4-7.

Prayer : Thank you Lord Jesus for for dying to save me so that I can live the rest of my life to follow and serve you. Help me to understand what it means to sit with you in the place of authority. Thank you to touching my heart to love and to follow you daily in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic : Forming Partnership With The Lord.

Memory Verse : John 15:4 So you must remain in life-union with me, for I remain in life-union with you. For as a branch severed from the vine will not bear fruit, so your life will be fruitless unless you live your life intimately joined to mine.

Bible Reading : John 15:1-3 TPT. Key Verse : v3.

“I am a true sprouting vine, and the farmer who tends the vine is my Father. He cares for the branches connected to me by lifting and propping up the fruitless branches and pruning every fruitful branch to yield a greater harvest. The words I have spoken over you have already cleansed you.

The beauty of living for Jesus Christ is in the fruits we bear daily. Before Jesus left the earth, he had a heart to heart talk with his disciples to prepare them for what lay ahead of them in a life without his physical presence which they enjoyed or had gotten used to as at that point in time. Certain factors stands out from his teaching here about being fruitful before the Lord. We will try to look at them one after another. The first factor we need to consider is that we don’t have what it takes to stand on our own in the first place as individuals, just as a branch of a tree or vine can’t stand on it’s own, no matter how good or rich it may be. For it to be sustained, it must stay glued to the stem which supplies the nutrients from the soil by which the branches lives. “”I am the sprouting vine and you’re my branches. As you live in union with me as your source, fruitfulness will stream from within you—but when you live separated from me you are powerless.” John 15:5.

We have to understand that God the father is the owner and the one taking care of the daily well being of the tree and branches. He uses his word on us as prunning instrument to keep us in the right or best condition that encourages fruitfulness. He cuts off every fruitless branches, so that the fruitful ones will have the right atmosphere to thrive. Any branch that desires to bear much fruits as demanded by the master must therefore expose itself continously to the cleansing work of the word. This means that the function of the word in our lives changes to meet our specific spiritual needs per time. I say so because in engendering growth and maturity, the word function in us as milk or meat depending on individuals or our level of maturity and spiritual capacity. This is made possible by the power of the Spirit and Life the word carries which is able to detect or discern what we need per time. “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life .” John 6:63 NIV‬.

Another factor as contained here is a life of fellowship. That is the only way we can remain in a life of union with the Lord. In the place of fellowship, we renew our commitment to the master even as we deepen our spiritual intimacy with him. This union makes him a partner or stakeholder in everything that concerns us and provides him with the legal ground to watch over our affairs against the onslaught of the wicked as well as intervene in our affairs at will. This is what qualifies men for uncommon and unexplainable divine help.

“Don’t panic. I’m with you.There’s no need to fear for I’m your God.I’ll give you strength. I’ll help you.I’ll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you. “Count on it: Everyone who had it in for youwill end up out in the cold—real losers.Those who worked against youwill end up empty-handed—nothing to show for their lives.” Isaiah 41:10-11 MSG

Prayer: Thank you Father God for drawing me closer to yourself so that you can partner with me in the affairs of life. Help me to stay glued to you, so that you can always nourish and prune me. Thank you for for your strength and help upon my life in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Friday June 14th, 2024.

Topic :Live To Honour The Lord.

Memory Verse :‭James 4:10. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

Bible Reading : ‭James 4:1-3 NIV‬. Key Verse: v

What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

When you study this James chapter 4 from different translations, you will have a better understanding of the type of relationship God desires to have with man by the help of his Spirit. You will notice that man occupies the center of the heart of God. It pleased God to relate with man on the platform of love. God demonstrated his love by creating everything we can or cannot see to serve the purpose of man, so that the man himself will be in good condition to serve divine purpose. I want to believe that the love God has for mankind is underestimated. We can only fathom it to some good extent when we look at the fact that God himself had to humbly come to the earth as a man, lived among men and finally died painfully on the cross like an ordinary criminal in order to save as many as will believe from everlasting condemnation by restoring them to himself. “For the greatest love of all is a love that sacrifices all. And this great love is demonstrated when a person sacrifices his life for his friends. “You show that you are my intimate friends when you obey all that I command you.” John 15:13-14 TPT.

Having proven his love for us to the point of death, God now expects us to reciprocate by loving him back and living our lives to please and honour him. He desires that we keep himself too at the center of our own hearts. One fact is that the condition of every man’s heart determines what he values or does. Every actions of men originates from the heart. Even our prayer life is also regulated by our heart conditions. When we pray and plan, God himself looks at our underlying intentions. When our intentions are wrong, we will be having much struggles or unanswered prayers. Another angle to it is that God wants us to trust as well as depend on him as our source of supply in times of need. When we are asking from the Lord, our interest or intentions should be driven by the desire to add value to our relationship with God and builds up his kingdom. When we don’t have this understanding, we will be like unfaithful men chasing shadows in the eyes of Lord. “And why not? Because you know you’d be asking for what you have no right to. You’re spoiled children, each wanting your own way. You’re cheating on God. If all you want is your own way, flirting with the world every chance you get, you end up enemies of God and his way.” James 4:3-4 MSG.

Today, understand that one important key to having a good earthly life is giving Jesus his rightful place in your life and entire scheme of affairs by loving him with all your heart. Anchor your good plans on him. Never you think you can always do it your own way. Don’t be carried away by things of this life that will one day fade away into thin air. The more you humbly obey the Lord recognising his sovereignty in everything you do, the more you are able to walk in the pathways of victory because of his wonderful presence. Never forget that your lifting is in his hands and will start manifesting in full measure when you begin to give him his rightful place in everything you do. Only him can secure your future. “You don’t know the first thing about tomorrow. You’re nothing but a wisp of fog, catching a brief bit of sun before disappearing.” James 4:14 MSG.

Prayer :Thank you Lord Jesus for loving me so deeply and dying for me. Help me to love you in return with all my heart and strength. Let my decision and everything I do honor you all my days in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
