Blessed To Serve.

Topic : Blessed To Serve.

Memoru Verse : ‭‭Joshua 24:16. Then the people answered, “Far be it from us to forsake the Lord to serve other gods!

Bible Reading :‭Joshua 24:14-15 NIV‬. Key Verse : v14.

“Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

When God rescued the people of Israel from a life of rigorous servitude in hands of Pharaoh of Egypt, he had a plan at herart. He delivered them from the hands of their oppressors so that they could serve God the way he desire without any encumberances. In real life, liberty or freedom without a purpose can be dangerous because it can always be subject to abuse. “God said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning and confront Pharaoh. Tell him, ‘God, the God of the Hebrews, says: Release my people so they can worship me.” Exodus 9:13 MSG Several times in Exodus God told Pharaoh by the mouth of Moses his messenger to release God’s people so that they could go to the wilderness and worship or serve their God and him alone. Before they left Egypt, God granted them favour, so that they left with blessing as to be empowered for quality service. ‭‭“And I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed. Every woman is to ask her neighbor and any woman living in her house for articles of silver and gold and for clothing, which you will put on your sons and daughters. And so you will plunder the Egyptians.”
Exodus 3:21-22.

The Blessing he gave them when they were leaving Egypt was for them to have substance to use and serve or worship their God. Before Joshua went to be with the Lord at the completion of his assignment, he reminded the people of God how gracious and good the Lord has been to them, challenging them with himself and family not to forsake rendering worship or service to the God who delivered them from the hands pf pharoah and other enemies that came their way, till he caused then to inherit the land of promise. ‭‭“’I brought you to the land of the Amorites who lived east of the Jordan. They fought against you, but I gave them into your hands. I destroyed them from before you, and you took possession of their land. I sent the hornet ahead of you, which drove them out before you—also the two Amorite kings. You did not do it with your own sword and bow. So I gave you a land on which you did not toil and cities you did not build; and you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant.’” Joshua 24:8,12-13.

Even today we need to understand that every good things of life from the Lord is to help us be comfortable enough aa to give God the best of our worship or service. Let’s not be among those that get carried away after God has fought many battles, blessed and established them, when they surposed to be more useful, they face other things that can take them nowhere after this temporary life forgetting the God that raised them. “Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end; And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.” Deuteronomy 8:16-18 KJV.

Prayer :Thank you Father God because it is you that raise men. I ask that you always keep me on track with you by the help of your Spirit. After you have settled and made me comfortable, may I not take you for granted or depart from your way in Jesus precious name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Heaven On Earth.

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Saturday March 23rd,2024.

Topic : Heaven On Earth.

Memory Verse :
‭‭Revelation 5:10. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”

Bible Reading :‭Ephesians 2:5-7 NIV‬. Key Verse: v7.

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.

What God did for us through his son Jesus is a mystery. Nobody can understand it adequately except by revelation. The Spirit of God gave Apostle Paul enough insight, so that we can have understanding and dare to live in the reality of whom we have become in Christ Jesus. When he died on the cross we were there in his Spiritual womb. Because he was carrying us within, he couldn’t argue his case when he waa at the judgement seat of Pilate. When they condemned him to death, it was because he became sin on our behalf, so that ourselves in exchange can become his righteousness. He went with us still in him to the Spirit realm where he conquered our foes on our behalf. “Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)” Ephesians 4:8-10 KJV.

When he ressurrected, we were still in him. That was when he restored life to every dimensions of our lives with God that Satan destroyed, stole or destroyed in his wicked onlaughr at Eden. When he ascended on high to the place of authority and rulership and authority, we remained in him because all he came and died for was just for us alone. In the realm of the Spirit, we are now one with him, seated in glory. This placement in him is what qualifies us for a life of heaven on earth. That is God’s plan for the church of Jesus. ‭”But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” 1 Peter 2:9-10.

These things were written to enlighten us, so that we can contend in the Spirit to enforce or make them real in our lives as believers where Satan and his agents try to trample on our rights in Christ. That is the reason the Lord gave John understanding that we are now kings and priests of the most high whose jurisdiction is the earth in entirety. “You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.” In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!” Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!” The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.” Revelations 5:10.

Prayer : Thank Father God for making me to be one with you in the Spirit. From today, let the effect of this union be real in every aspect of my life. I will not just be an ordinary believer, I will be a believer of impact by the mercies of God in reality of what you have done in my life in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Preservative Wisdom.

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Friday March 22nd, 2024.

Topic : Preservative Wisdom.

Memory Verse :‭‭ Proverbs 4:5. Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them.

Bible Reading :‭Proverbs 4:6-8 NIV‬. Key Verse : v6.

Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you.

Wisdom is a very important tool that helps us to take rightful and informed decisions that better our lives. Here we are looking at the wisdom of God that comes from above that are hidden in his word or instructions, which he offers to us freely as our father. These instructions are products of love to his children, so that we can avoid costly or destructive mistakes. They are. keys to a successful earthly life when heeded. Men who ignore the instructions of the Lord suffer the consequences just like the child who thinks he doesn’t need to obey the father who knows it better. ‭‭”Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction; pay attention and gain understanding. I give you sound learning, so do not forsake my teaching. For I too was a son to my father, still tender, and cherished by my mother. Then he taught me, and he said to me, “Take hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands, and you will live.” Proverbs 4:1-4.

It’s good to note here that no man can become his or her best in life without keying into the instructions God in whatever he /she does. The wisdom of men therefore can be compared to that of a child who always see things from the wrong perspective. Give the child slippers or shoes to wear without helping him /her, you will observe that the child will always wear it the wrong way. You will discover in life that those things that cause harm, deformity, death and destruction will always appeal to the child. The child from birth is configured by nature to depend on the parents for guidance in safety. If he/she is left on his own, he will destroy him/herself because of wrong judgment and decisions. In like manner, the wisdom of men outside God is always childish, harmful and destructive. “Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory.” 1 Corinthians 2:6-7. KJV.

“Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many. I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths. When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life. Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.” Proverbs 4:10-15 KJV. Proverbs 4 is loaded with words of wisdom that will preserve any man that heeds them. We can’t just touch all here now. But let’s take home the fact that the life we live and things we do daily are seeds that we must reap soon in the future. Whatever you don’t want to harvest, you must not sow therefore into the lives of others.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for your instructions that is able to make me wise. Help me to always take time to discover these instructions of yours meant for my well being as given in your word and by your Spirit. Help me to always obey you, so that I can have a great future in you in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen🙏🏿.

Salvation, Key To Kingdom Blessings

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Thursday March 21st, 2024.

Topic : Salvation, Key To Kingdom Blessings.

Memory Verse :‭‭Romans 1:16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

‭Romans 1:18-20 NIV‬. Key Verse: v20.

The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

The primary purpose for which Jesus came to the earth is to save mankind from sin and the attendant death or destruction. Though we enjoy many benefits when we get saved, those benefits are not the real thing in kingdom life but salvation. For example when you talk about riches and wealth that everyone are craving for, people can still be rich or wealthy by obeying divine principles of wealth creation like work or when they work intelligently and apply discipline including proper financial and capacity management in whatever they do in life. “While he was still debating with himself about what to do, he fell asleep and had a supernatural dream. An angel from the Lord appeared to him in clear light and said, “Joseph, descendant of David, don’t hesitate to take Mary into your home as your wife, because the power of the Holy Spirit has conceived a child in her womb. She will give birth to a son and you are to name him ‘Savior,’ for he is destined to give his life to save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:20-21 TPT.

Jesus came to the earth as a man though he is God to save man from sin. Salvation therefore is the primary purpose for which he came. Anyone therefore who is not ready to embrace the message of salvation which is the good news will be far away from true help that comes from the cross. That is the reason a man like Apostle Paul boldly declared that though he was passing through much tribulation for preaching the gospel and sometimes found himself in prison chains, he didn’t feel any shame. Rather his trials emboldened him the more to reach out and make sure that the truth was dispensed to all who cared to receive it. “I refuse to be ashamed of sharing the wonderful message of God’s liberating power unleashed in us through Christ! For I am thrilled to preach that everyone who believes is saved—the Jew first, and then people everywhere! This gospel unveils a continual revelation of God’s righteousness—a perfect righteousness given to us when we believe. And it moves us from receiving life through faith, to the power of living by faith. This is what the Scripture means when it says: “We are right with God through life-giving faith!” Romans 1:16-17 TPT.

Salvation from sin is key the life of an overcomer. This is because the root or foundation of all the problems of man is sin. Only the blood of Jesus has what it takes to silence the voice of sin in every life that runs to him for help. Sin brought separation from God (death). The life in the blood of Jesus restores that which the enemy destroyed. Jesus Christ was manifested that he might destroy every works of the devil starting with sin to every form of negativity that goes with it including failure, disappointment, stagnation, etc. Sin therefore is a legal ground that the devil stands to operate in any life, family, community, people, etc. When it is dealt with in the right manner, the enemy has no choice but to give up. Many suffer prolonged struggle with ugly situations because they are looking for blessings with God without embracing his salvation which key to kingdom blessings. Mathew 6:33.

Prayer : Thank you Father God for giving me Jesus to die to save me from sin and every form of death and destruction. As I embrace your salvation as provided by you, let everything that doesn’t glorify you in my life give way forever in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Be A Different Man.

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Wednesday March 20th, 2024.

Topic : Be A Different Man.

Memory Verse :Genesis 6:8. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

Bible Reading :Genesis 6:5-7. Key Verse: v8.

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

The good book said that there’s nothing new under the sun. Whatever that is, is what had been in the past and from what we see now, we can have idea of what tomorrow will look like. One of my teachers in secondary school used to re-echo this much those days because of the youthful pride in and love of some students for flimsy things, especially for fashion which tries to enter their heads. He wanted us to understand that the things we tasted and used as youths that made some people not to concentrate on their studies, were used by themselves in their own youthful days too. The only difference is that some of these things keeps being updated or modermised somehow. In like manner good and wicked men had also existed along each other as early enough as history can trace. The wickedness in the days of Noah was so high that God decided to end it with that generation.

At the same time a single man was different, his life wasn’t dainted with the wickedness that waa the order of his days. The life he lived pleased God and attracted grace of God that separates men for special favour in their lifetime. Noah was living in his own world in his days, he didn’t allow the wickedness of his generation to change him. I remember when God once sent to a man to warn him to repent. I didn’t know why but obeyed. After delivering the message God gave me to him, he pointed me to the wife and asked me to observe her neck. He was trying to let me know that he joined the bandwagon of wicked men as to protect himself and fight the enemies fighting himself and his family instead of running to the Lord for help. “Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD! Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.” Isaiah 31:1,3.

“But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.” Genesis 6:8-9. Some factors was responsible for the grace of God that appeared to Noah in a dark season in the history of mankind. The first factor was that Noah did his best to live a good or just life. He lived a life of integrity or better say he was perfect. Not only that, Noah sought after God his creator at a time many did otherwise till he developed a relationship with his maker. That relationship became so solid that God could confide in him of what he was about to do, as he decided to destroy the world of the days of Noah with flood. This relationship was key to the sharing of secrets of God with Noah and the salvation of himself, his family and other creatures that were preserved in the ark he built at the instructions of the Lord. Today, you can still stand out for Jesus and be a shining light in a dark world. You can be the man God is depending on to save a generation. If you can dare to develop and keep a relationship with the Spirit of God, there’s no limit to what blessing he can cause you to become in your lifetime. All you need is to dare to be different in the face of modernised high level corruption and wickedness.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for loving me and giving me Jesus to die to redeem me. Thank you for blotting my sins with your blood Jesus. Thank you for giving me your Spirit. Help me to live for and walk with you just like Noah in my generation. Let your grace and mercy separate me for great and mighty things in my lifetime, in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Bear Good Fruits.

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Tuesday March 19th, 2024.

Topic : Bear Good Fruits.

Memory Verse : Matthew 7:19. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Bible Reading :Matthew 7:16-18. Key Verse : v18.

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Jesus was going through series of teachings when he began to talk about the narrow way that leads to life which few among many always choose in life and the broad way of life that many do prefer, which unfortunately leads to destruction. “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” Matthew 7:15-16. There are not just only fake prophets that appear as sheep or that look so harmless and gentle, but are very dangerous just like prowling wolves ready to devour at any point in time given the slightest opportunity. There are also false brothers and sisters today. What makes people false is a wrong mindset about God and the kingdom, which turn them into opportunists. They are men that pretend to be believers without genuine encounter with the man of the cross. They appear before God simply because of what they think they stand to gain, not because they love him and appreciate what he did to redeem their souls.

We operate a kingdom that is service oriented. We were called out of the darkness of this world into God’s marvellous light, so that we can become the light just like the master himself. “Your lives light up the world. Let others see your light from a distance, for how can you hide a city that stands on a hilltop? And who would light a lamp and then hide it in an obscure place? Instead, it’s placed where everyone in the house can benefit from its light. So don’t hide your light! Let it shine brightly before others, so that the commendable things you do will shine as light upon them, and then they will give their praise to your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16 TPT. It’s all about what we do with opportunities that comes our way tp bless others. “Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.” Matthew 24:44-46.

Fruit bearing is all about the effect or impact we live behind when we are entrusted with sensitive things in family, society society and God’s kingdom. False men deceive, cheat, defraud and steal to satisfy their greed. We have to see ourselves not only as agents of light, but we need to understand that we have become the light of God pointing the way to many through our personal lives and testimonies. We are also salt that season and spice up the lives men around us by good works, which is proof that we have been with Christ Jesus. This is all about keeping trust of God and fellow men who allow us to be placed in sensitive positions. “But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,”

Matthew 24:48-50.

Prayer : Thank you Father God for raising me to bear good fruits. Help to use every opportunity that comes my way in impact everyone that comes my way positively in my lifetime. Thank you making me the light in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Teach Us To Pray (2).

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Monday March 18th, 2024.

Topic : Teach Us To Pray (2).

Memory Verse : Matthew 6:14. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

Bible Reading :Luke 11:2-4. Key Verse: v4.

And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

Yesterday we began to look at what happened at a point in time as Jesus Christ took some of his disciples to a prayer place, as he used to do. He wanted them to learn the secret behind the miracles and mighty works that followed his ministry in the open. We know also that we learn also by observation or watching other people do things we don’t know how to do. This time, one of them wasn’t satisfied by just watching, he pressed further that they be taught the knitty gritty of the prayer life of Jesus as his inner circle as to make their own prayers as effective as his. From where we stopped yesterday, he was teaching them that God’s desire is that men should live glorious lives on earth just as it used to be with saints and angels in heavenlies. God wants the earth to become a kind of extension of heaven, so much that his purpose for man which Satan tampered with in Eden through the encounter of Eve with the snake leading to the fall, be restored by the coming of his son through men operating his earthly kingdom.

In Luke 11:4 we can see that calling God father bestowed on him responsibility for our upkeep or daily bread. Jesus hit a very important note here when he taught that we should ask for forgiveness of sin. Now it is very important to point out that the rule that governs forgiveness is that we receive from God, as much as we are ready or able to deliver same forgiveness to other men that we relate with daily when they offend us. This means that when ourselves harbour unforgiveness against our fellow men, God himself won’t be able to forgive ourselves. “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matthew 6:12-15.

Jesus also taught that we should always pray to be kept from temptations and the evil one who is Satan the devil. He is the accuser of the brethren, always looking for the slightest opportunity to harm the believer as to hurt God knowing how much love God has for us as men and his children too. One of the ways God helps us to live beyond the reach of Satan is by empowering us to live holy and righteous by his Spirit. These two important elements makes him helpless about us to the extent that he won’t be able to launch any attack on us, except by God’s special permission just like in the case of Job. Mathew further let us know that all things we are looking for belongs belongs to God including power (protection), glory (all kinds of blessings) and the kingdom (life of heaven on earth). When you need such, humbly go to him in prayers.

Prayer : Thank you Father God because everything am looking for in life that makes life good and worthwhile belongs to you. As I humbly serve and ask from you, decorate my life with them that people may believe that I belong to you in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Teach Us To Pray (1).

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Sunday March 17th, 2024.

Topic : Teach Us To Pray (1).

Memory Verse : Luke 11:9. And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Bible Reading :Luke 11:1-3. Key Verse : v1.

And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread.

Jesus just finished spending time in the place of prayer in the company of some of his disciples, when one of his disciples asked him to teach themselves how to pray. They had seen the effect of prayer in the life of Jesus and his earthly ministry, and desired to do exactly what he was doing. It is good to note here that what Jesus taught his disciples was rudiments of prayer and not a prayer itself as many used to think. The purpose of this teaching was for them to know as to observe the principles that govern answered prayers anytime they want to pray. For any prayers to command divine attention, these rules has to be observed by the praying man, if desired results must be achieved. One of the rules he taught them here was that they had to see and approach God as a father who is above all ( which art in heaven). “He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.” John 3:31-33.

Now when we call God father, it has far reaching implications. One of such implications is that we look upto him in everything (we are dependent on him), just as children look upto their eathly father to meet their needs (give us this day our daily bread). A second implication is that we have to approach God always with audacity or confidence knowing surely that he has our interest uppermost in his heart as his children. We therefore don’t harbour any form of fears or doubts when we are dealing with him. We are sure that he will always deliver and at the right time too. A third implication is that we have a working relationship with him, just the way children don’t struggle or need a third party to relate with their biological father. The other implication is that we reverence, honour, hallow or accord him due respect as a father while relating effectively.

Another principle that will ensure answered prayers as we can see here is that we have to be kingdom minded in our pursuits, desires and petitions. “Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:31-33. God’s desire is to make men live like angels on earth as it was before the fall. Now all that Jesus came to do is to restore that which man lost at the fall. When your desires align with God’s purpose of enforcing his will in the lives of men including territories, your answers will always come cheaply.

Prayer : Thank you Father God because of your faithfulness in every generation. Help me to always pray with understanding, as I align with you in my pursuits and prayer life. Thank you because your will always be done in my life and generation in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic : Patient Hope.

Memory Verse :Galatians 5:22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Bible Reading : 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4. Key Verse :v3.

We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.

Patience ia not just a virtue, but also a fruit of the Spirit that every believer that must worth his calling must possess. In the context of our discussion, patience is the ability to accept delays without getting offended or compromising our stand with God when things don’t take right shape as soon as we desire. It can also mean being calm in the midst of provocations. Patience for a child of God is built on hope which stems on the understanding of whom God is and his faithfulness in every situation we find ourselves. One key factor that helped brother Job not to give up on God in the midst of the fiery trials he went through is patience. “And he took him a potsherd tscrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes. Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.” Job 2:8-10.

The Thessalonian church came under intense heat of persecution by Jews who were uncomfortable with Apostle Paul ministry work among the gentiles as the fire of persecution which drove many out of Jerusalem persisted through the influence of Jews in the places the gospel of our Lord Jesus was taken to those early days. Even after Paul left and others cared for the church, he was glad to learn that the seed he planted was doing well in them. They were able to stand and prevail because of their genuine faith in Jesus and their love for God and his kingdom which made them labour vigorously for the kingdom they received, not minding challenges. That was possible because of the hope they had in the Lord which made them to exercise patience, being sure of God’s faithfulness, even in times of challenges.”For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.”

Today, we are learning to be patient in our walk with God resting our hope in his faithfulness or ability to deliver at the right time.”For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.” Hebrews 10:34-36. We need to understand that the blesings of God comes in promises. Between the time of receiving the promises of God and the time of manifestation of that which God had promised us, patience is key in keeping the child of God on track as he waits on the Lord, till performance.

Prayer : Thank you Father God because you are always good and faithful. Help me to keep growing in you. Grant me capacity to wait on you when things seems to delay. Keep me from running ahead of you. Through patience, I enter into the fulness of God’s plan and blessing for my life in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Accessing Divine Intervention Through Humility.

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Friday March 15th, 2024.

Topic : Accessing Divine Intervention Through Humility.

Memory Verse :‭‭Psalms 51:18. May it please you to prosper Zion, to build up the walls of Jerusalem.

Bible Reading :‭Psalms 51:15-17 NIV‬. Key Verse :v17.

Open my lips, Lord, and my mouth will declare your praise. You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.

Man was created to depend of God to have a successful earthly life. No matter how richly we may be endowed in this life, we need God to succeed in whatever we do. The earlier we realise the place of God in school of success and give him his rightful placement, the better our lives becomes. Everything we are or can do, becomes possible by his enablement, because he is the source of everything that is good in this life. “Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness , neither shadow of turning.. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.” James 1:16-18 KJV. Many people couldn’t get to where were going in life because they depended heavily on their human strength which can cave in under some levels of pressure. They failed to acknowledge God in what they do and give him the glory that is due to him.

God designed man to look upto him daily for support just the way the user of a product falls back on the manufacturer for technical assistance and maintenance which guarantees hitch free functionality. That is the reason Jesus while teaching the disciples the principles of prayer mention the fact that we should always ask from the father for our daily provisions, not only in bread or food, but also in everything. Daily, there are provisions for us before our father and creator just the way earthly parents makes certain provisions to meet some needs in the lives of their children ahead of time. These provisions are always released to us through the channel of mercy and grace while ourselves are able to access them through brokenness or humility. The humbler we are before the Lord, the more he develop enhanced capacity to access what he has for us daily because we appear before the Lord as living sacrifice. “It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.” Lamentations 3:22-25 KJV.

learn to approach God as a father daily and ask for his help in any area of your life that you have need. He is never tired of listening and attending to you. As a father he is eagerly waiting to receive you when you have understanding. All you need in all this is a humble spirit, which is just like a sacrifice before the Lord. God can never deny a broken and humble child that appears before him for anything good. Many who understand this principle always get the best of God at any point in time. “Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.” Matthew 15:25-28 KJV.

Prayer : Thank you Father God because you always care about me. From today, help me to always appear before you as a living sacrifice. Give me a heart that is always broken and humble in your presence. Thank you for every blessing and intervention am receiving now and forever in your presence in Jesus mighty name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
