Topic : God First.

Memory Verse:‭‭ .‭‭Genesis 22:5. He said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.”

Bible Reading : ‭Genesis 22:2-4 NIV‬. Key Verse: v3.

Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.” Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.

This was a very difficult test that the Lord gave to father Abraham. God took him from his father’s house to a foreign land, a land where he learnt to depend on God for everything instead of his own people. God fulfilled his promises of blessing him in everything, except child bearing. He had to patiently wait in unwavering trust till God came through for him and Isaac, the son of promise was born. As Abraham settled down with joy to raise his son of promise before the Lord, this very difficult test was handed to him one day as he spent time in God’s presence. This test was all about his love and commitment to God. God wanted to know what he valued most in his heart. The only reason he was able to obey God was because God came first in his order of priorities rather than the blessing who is Isaac.

‭‭
“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. Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them. Then the Lord’s anger will burn against you, and he will shut up the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce, and you will soon perish from the good land the Lord is giving you.” Deuteronomy 11:13-17.

Today we have understanding that idols are not just images or woodworks kept somewhere that misinformed men bow down to worship. We know that they include anything that takes the place of God in our lives. An idol is anything that can make a man to disobey God. Abraham was able to prove to the Lord that though he loved his son whom he patiently waited for about 25 years, that Isaac didn’t have what it takes to make him disobey God and put a clog in the wheel of his relationship with God. Today we need to understand that men are praying for blessing everywhere, but God himself is looking for men whom he will decorate with enormous riches and wealth, who will be mature enough not to allow what God gives them to exercise control over them as to become an idol in their hearts. “I make a vow by my own name — the Lord is speaking — that I will richly bless you. Because you did this and did not keep back your only son from me, I promise that I will give you as many descendants as there are stars in the sky or grains of sand along the seashore. Your descendants will conquer their enemies.” Genesis 22:16-17.

Prayer : Thank you Father God for using men of old to teach me wisdom in my relationship with you. I pray that you help me to to love and put first in everything I do. Don’t allow anything you have blessed me with become an idol to me in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Enforcing God’s Will.

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Sunday March 3rd, 2024.

Topic: Enforcing God’s Will.

Memory Verse :James 4:6. But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

Bible Reading :James 4:2-5. Key Verse: v3.

Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

Prayer is one of the things we are called to engage in as believers as a lifestyle. In prayer we talk to God in order to receive from him because he is our source in everything. This implies that we look upto him for the supply of our needs. Even God himself encouraged us to always ask in the name of Jesus the Christ in his word in order to always receive. But we need to understand that God will not always grant our requests when they are motivated by our selfishness and lustful lifestyles. We have to be careful here in our asking because some of the things we put ahead of God’s will in the place of prayer can become an idol to us because they steal our hearts from genuine and heartfelt service to him. This happens when our desires falls short of God’s will for our lives and our generation. This certainly can lead to unanswered prayers in the life of believers.

We must learn to discern therefore the will of God in the place of prayer as to align with hm in order to enforce divine purpose. “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.” Luke 11:2. This means that our focus in the place of prayer should be to make sure that God’s will is done on earth and not ours. This end time, there’s need for praying men to arise to agree with God for his purpose to find fulfillment here on earth, as the people occupying till he comes.

“Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:18-20. We as people of God need to understand the authority Jesus willed to us here on earth to determine what happens and what won’t happen at any given time or places. As believers, whatever we allow is what happens and whatsoever we disallow, heaven will always uphold in our lives and in the lives of others around us including his kingdom generally. When we join our voice to pray in unity of purpose, there’s no power anywhere that can stop us from having our way when we are in line with God’s purpose. When we understand this, we will be able to take territories for Jesus standing on his word that is reliable.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for your saving grace that qualified me to represent you here on earth. From today help me to live upto my responsibilities before you in the place of prayer. Help me to always discern your will and agree with you, so that your will always prevail in every situation in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

You Need His Presence

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Saturday March 2nd, 2024.

Topic : You Need His Presence.

Memory Verse:‭‭Exodus‬ ‭33:14‬. The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

Bible Reading :‭‭Exodus‬ ‭13:20‭-‬22‬ ‭NIV‬‬. Key Verse : v21.

After leaving Sukkoth they camped at Etham on the edge of the desert. By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.

For the first time, the people of Israel breathed their first air of liberty after many years of acute slavery in Egypt. Even as they left the land of Egypt and began to take their first steps to the land of promise, Pharaoh was not
done with them. He had plans to go after them in order to bring them back to bondage against God’s will. God knowing the challenges the people of Israel will encounter on their way had to fortify them with his presence ahead of time. This presence of the almighty manifested as pillar of cloud in the day and pillar of fire at night. In the day their enemies were unable to see through the cloud, even at night they couldn’t dare the fire that followed the people of God. In the day, the sun gave them light while the pillar of cloud was for their protection. While at night, the cloud will turn to fire to still protect them as well as illuminate their environment, so that they could see clearly day and night to engage in any activities of their choice.

This divine presence as manifested in their journey was key to all the supernatural interventions they enjoyed throughout their journey in the wilderness. ‭‭”Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years .” Deuteronomy‬ ‭8:2‭-‬4‬ ‭.

This new month, all you need to succeed is the same presence of the almighty that followed the people of old and gave them fearful results and testimonies. The presence of God will make the difference in the midst of troubles and challenges of life. Many who travel without that presence will soon discover that their human capacity and ability can fail short of requirements in the face of certain challenges. “those the Lord blesses will inherit the land, but those he curses will be destroyed. though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand. I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.” Psalms‬ ‭37:22‬.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for bringing me into a new month. I ask that this month and the rest of my life, your presence that makes things to fall in right places at the right time will be my portion. Thank you because every challenges of life bows to your presence in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Becoming A Kingdom Treasure.

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Friday March 1st, 2024.

Topic : Becoming A Kingdom Treasure.

Memory Verse:: 1 Peter 2:4. So keep coming to him who is the Living Stone—though he was rejected and discarded by men but chosen by God and is priceless in God’s sight.

Bible Reading : 1 Peter 2:1-3. Key Verse : v2.

So abandon every form of evil, deceit, hypocrisy, feelings of jealousy and slander. In the same way that nursing infants cry for milk, you must intensely crave the pure spiritual milk of God’s Word. For this “milk” will cause you to grow into maturity, fully nourished and strong for life— especially now that you have had a taste of the goodness of the Lord Jehovah and have experienced his kindness.

Grace is sweet in the sense that it delivers what we didn’t merit. The intention of God in introducing grace in his dealings with mankind is to let us have first hand experience of his goodness. This experience is targeted at igniting a hunger in us for more of God’s goodness in our lifetime. Though this dimension of God that is called goodness is always functional and available for all to enjoy, it takes some level of maturity to access this realm in full measure. The more maturity you are able to exhibit in your relationship with God, the more you qualify to access the depths of his goodness to mankind. On the other hand, maturity itself is by choice, desire or hunger. It doesn’t happen accidentally. Men consciously walk towards it daily when the hunger is there. Peter here gives us a very important factor that will help us grow into maturity, which is depends heavily on our ability to exhibit hunger for the pure word of God. “Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
Matthew‬ ‭4:4‬ ‭NIV‬‬.

Another factor that affect growth and maturity is our ability to be students of the Spirit. Students of the Spirit are men/women who live their live their lives in the consciousness that they are spirit beings and therefore does whatever is necessary to pay attention to things of the Spirit of God. Their interaction with the Spirit of God who is a higher Spirit empowers then spirit man to access divine resources in return. This they do by consciously and constantly engaging in spiritual exercises that helps them maintain a healthy and vibrant spiritual life. ‭”Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.” Romans‬ ‭8:5‭-‬8‬ ‭NIV‬‬.

Today God’s will is the we grow to become a place of his habitation. He wants to live in us and operate through us as his children. There’s a priestly function all us are called into which we can’t be effective in except we grow into maturity. The more mature we are, the more effective we can operate in our priestly office as ordained by grace. When we become very efficient in this office, we will be able the display the beauty of heaven here on earth. That’s when we become the living stones that form a heavenly house where the blessings of our royalty becomes real and visible to all. At this point, you become a treasure to the kingdom because of the value you add to the lives of others. “But you are God’s chosen treasure—priests who are kings, a spiritual “nation” set apart as God’s devoted ones. He called you out of darkness to experience his marvelous light, and now he claims you as his very own. He did this so that you would broadcast his glorious wonders throughout the world. For at one time you were not God’s people, but now you are. At one time you knew nothing of God’s mercy, because you hadn’t received it yet, but now you are drenched with it!” 1 Peter 2:9-10.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for your glorious plan for my life. From today help me to understand that am a spirit being. Help me to take care of my spirit man as to mature and become effective and efficient in my priestly office. Let my life be such that will always display your beauty, adding value to your kingdom in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Thursday February 29th, 2024.

Topic: Pray Your Way To Victory.

Memory Verse:Ephesians 6:10. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Bible Reading :Ephesians 6:11-13. Key Verse: v12.

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

After Apostle Paul opened our eyes to what God did for us in Christ Jesus in the earlier chapters of book of Ephesians, he tried to let us understand as he rounds up that there are some unavoidable battles we need to engage in as believers in order to enjoy the full benefits or blessings in the gift of God to mankind who is Jesus Christ his son. These battles are real and we don’t have any choice but to play our roles as believers anywhere we find ourselves, if we don’t want to be victims. On a very important note, we need to approach this battle with every available seriousness because it will determine how far we can go in life. We have to stand in the strength of Christ and with full understanding of what he has done for us through his death and resurrection. We need to understand that the best things of the kingdom belongs to strong men. That is men that take their walk God as serious business and therefore decide to invest everything within their reach to make it work and produce results. “And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits .” Daniel 11:32.

Another step we need to take is to put the whole amours of God as listed in this chapter because every armour has a very important role to play in our engagements. The enemy is constantly throwing one arrow or another, the only way to be kept from these arrows are to be protected by the armours of the Spirit. Now on the side of our enemies are spiritual forces of wickedness who operate to quench the joy of many and turn it into sorrow. They want to steal the blessings of people and replace it with curses and destroy good things coming the ways of men. ” The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” John 10:10-11.

Now we fight in the place of prayer. ” And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray (fight), and not to faint ; Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.”Luke 18:1-5. We have to be consistent in prayer. No praying man or woman fails in life. It doesn’t matter how fierce the battle may seem. If we can pray and not give up, God will always be there to answer.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for giving me Jesus your son. Thank you for all that Jesus did for me through his death and resurrection. Help me to be a strong man in you by the help of your Spirit at work in me. Help me to be consistent in prayer, so that all the benefits in Christ Jesus becomes manifest in my life in Jesus wonderful name… Amen 🙏🏿.

Pay Attention To Your Children

DAILY DEVOTIONAL / /

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Wednesday February 28th, 2024.

Topic: Pay Attention To Your Children.

Memory Verse :Proverbs 22:8. He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.

Bible Reading :Proverbs 22:3-6. Key Verse :v6.

A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life. Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them. Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Children are precious gifts from God to us. They are like plain sheets in a man’s hands in an examination hall; whatever the holder writes on the plain sheets will at the end determine if he/she will do well in the exam. At the end of it all, people spend same time writing the examination and at the end they will have different scores or results, all depending on what each of them made out the time they spent writing the exam. Just as what we write on the plain paper given to us in an examination determines what we score at the end, in like manner parents determines to a large extent what becomes of their children, depending on things they exposed their children to by way of training or upbringing. The word of God is very plain about it here that they will always follow what they were taught (not depart from it).

There are many sides to child upbringing. One of them is providing their basic necessities like food, shelter, education, etc. for a child for proper development. Beyond that, the first important factor in child training that is very important is family values. There’s is need for parents to have a second look at the standards we set in our homes. What are the things ourselves do before the children who learns faster by what they see than what they are told? As parents, we should know that we are the first teachers the children learns from in life to shape their future. When parents therefore have weak or wrong value system in their home, it will take the special grace of God for anything good to come of the children. For example, if we have a family where money gotten anyhow or by all means is celebrated, children from such homes can do anything to make money, even if it means using others or any of their loved ones for ritual purposes. A second important factor in child training is the ability to teach a child what is right from the right time or stage, when it won’t be late. A child will never know what is right or wrong in life on his /her own from the womb, they will always learn such from their parents. One of the most ingredient here that we must not miss is correction or discipline, if the child must have a good future that can guarantee the peace of the parents. “Although rebellion is woven into a young man’s heart, tough discipline can make him into a man.” Proverbs 22:15 TPT.

When we talk about training the child or children, our mothers have huge responsibility here as the ones that spend more time with children most time and who understands them better and knows their deeper secrets more than anyone else. Many children became failures in life because their mum shielded them when they were learning or getting involved in wrong things. They withhold the rod of correction from the child till it becomes late. Some women go to the extent of not allowing their husband discipline their children when they do wrong things till it becomes late. That is one of the reasons some homes are in shambles because the man is unhappy that the wife didn’t allow him to correct the children at the right time and now they have grown to be a problem to the parents instead of giving them joy. “Make no mistake about it, God will never be mocked! For what you plant will always be the very thing you harvest. The harvest you reap reveals the seed that was planted. If you plant the corrupt seeds of self – life into this natural realm, you can expect to experience a harvest of corruption. If you plant the good seeds of Spirit-life you will reap the beautiful fruits that grow from the everlasting life of the Spirit.” Galatians 6:7-8 TPT.

Prayer:Thank you Father God for blessing us with children. Help me not to fall you in their upbringing. I receive grace to raise my children to love and serve you. I covenant them all to you today, they are for signs and wonders in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic: Serving With Right Mindset.

Memory Verse:Acts 8:19. saying, “I want this power too. I’m willing to pay you for the anointing that you have, so that I also can lay my hands on everyone to receive the Holy Spirit.”

Bible Reading :Acts 8:16-18. Key Verse: v15.

For they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus and were yet to have the Holy Spirit fall upon them. As soon as Peter and John arrived, they laid their hands on the Samaritan believers, one after another, and the Holy Spirit fell and filled each one of them! When Simon saw how the Holy Spirit was released through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he approached them and offered them money,

The early church came under intense persecution in Jerusalem under the supervision of Saul who later became Paul (the preacher). After Stephen was killed, Saul continued to unleash havoc on believers by getting arrest warrants and entering anywhere he desired to pick up and detain believers at will. That csused many believers to migrate to other cities in the region of Judea. Their migration became intrumental to spread the gospel message among the people in the region, God backing their preaching with his mighty works. In the heat of the highthened persecution, Philip went to Samaria and did a remarkable work that led to the conversion of a notable magician named Simon who had bewitched the entire city with his magical arts was converted. “Even Simon believed and was baptized! Wherever Philip went, Simon was right by his side, astounded by all the miracles, signs, and enormous displays of power that he witnessed. When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that the Samaritans had accepted God’s message of life, they sent Peter and John to pray over them so that they would receive the Holy Spirit.” Acts 8:13-15.

When Simon observed how the people were being filled with the Holy Spirit, he offered money to the Apostles that they might give him this power to use and continue from where he stopped in his magical past. Before this time, he had been able acquire demonic powers to operate with by paying money to agents of darkness to cumulative power for his satanic operations. “When Simon saw how the Holy Spirit was released through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he approached them and offered them money, saying, “I want this power too. I’m willing to pay you for the anointing that you have, so that I also can lay my hands on everyone to receive the Holy Spirit.” Peter rebuked him and said, “Your money will go with you to destruction! How could you even think that you could purchase God’s supernatural gift with money?” Acts 8:18-20.

“You will never have this gift or take part in this ministry, for your heart is not right with God. Repent this moment for allowing such wickedness to fill you. Plead with the Lord that perhaps he would forgive you the treachery of your heart. For I discern that jealous envy has poisoned you and binds you as a captive to sin.” Acts 8:21-23. The rebuke of Apostle Peter corrected his perverted mind and he pleaded that these words be cancelled to avoid their fulfillment in his life. Today we have to understand the the power of God is not for money making purposes, neither is it for demonstration. One of the reasons there is much confusion in many places today is that many are trying to commercialise the gift of God while others are using using unclean spirits to deceive people to prove how powerful they are. All these are happening because of greed of the last days. If God must use a man maximally, his intentions must be right before the Lord. The power of God is to used to glorify Jesus and not to fan to ego of any human being.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for giving me your Spirit. Today help me to take advantage of your Spirit to be more productive in the kingdom. Help me to always serve with a mindset to honour and glory Jesus. Keep me from vainglory all my days in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Fear God

DAILY DEVOTIONAL / /

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Monday February 26th, 2024.

Topic : Fear God.

Memory Verse: ‭‭Acts‬ ‭5:4‬. Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”

Bible Reading :‭‭Acts‬ ‭5:1‭-‬3‬ ‭NIV‬‬. Key Verse: v3.

Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet. Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?

At this point in time in the history of the early Church, there was great revival as the early disciples built on the gains of Pentecost. The people were living as one in true love of the Spirit. People were donating what they had to the course of the gospel. Some went as far as selling their landed properties and houses, donating the proceeds to support the work of the early church so that people’s needs be met. “that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.
sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles’ feet.” Acts‬ ‭4:34‭-‬35‬ ‭.

Ananias and Sapphira his wife conspired, sold their property, kept part of the proceeds back and lied to Apostle Peter that the money they brought was all the proceeds of the sales. They did that to show off as if what was going on was a competetion. They couldn’t be themselves as they had every right to keep whatever they wanted to and release whatever pleased them because it was their money and giving to the work of God was never by force. They wanted to be recognised and honoured by men for making a false sacrifice of dropping everything they realised which they never did in the real sense of it. At the rebuke of the Spirit of God, Ananias and Sapphira lost their lives under this dispensation of grace we all enjoy today. “Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.” At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.” Acts‬ ‭5:9‭-‬10‬.

Anytime I read the story of Ananias and Sapphira, I fear God the more. No wonder Apostle Paul wrote that we should work out our salvation with fear and trembling before the Lord. They just told what looked like harmless lie before the Lord who is rich in mercy and grace and was destroyed by the anger of God on the spot. Today many people are sick and dying in our churches and some problems we are praying over has defied solutions and prayers seemed not to be answered because the people involved lied to men of God they are dealing with, thinking that God will understand. Today we must learn to be sincere anytime we are dealing with other men, especially men representing God or when we are handling things of the kingdom. We must not forget that same God who is rich in grace and mercy also kills. ‭”The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For through wisdom your days will be many, and years will be added to your life.” Proverbs‬ ‭9:10‭-‬11.

Prayer : Thank you Father God for your love, grace and mercies towards me. From this day, help me to love and fear you as my father. Keep me from from any lifestyle or behaviour that incures your wrath. Let my life, decisions and actions honour you all the days of my life in Jesus wonderful name… Amen 🙏🏿.

Memory Verse :Matthew 10:16. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Bible Reading :Luke 10:1-3. Key Verse: v2.

After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

Today, one of the greatest need in the body of Christ is the need for genuine labourers. Men that lay down their lives on the altar of service to the kingdom of God. Men that understand that they have just one life to live on earth and they want their lives to count before God. Such men are not careful about many things, but one thing I know that occupies them is eternal glory. Such men see themselves as having crossed the bridge of selfish interest and desires that are contrary to God’s plan for their lives. They have made up their minds to keep pushing forward in faithful service unconditionally, till they have the victory. They understand what it means to be enlisted in God’s army and they are not talking chances. Infact they understand the urgency heaven attached to their assignment because every second that ticks away counts for souls dying without knowing Jesus Christ, the saviour of the world. “And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” Mark 8:34-36.

One of the areas where genuine labourers are in short supply in our days are in the area of prayer and intercession. The power that is behind the effectiveness of God’s work or move on earth is activated by men who dare to overlook other things to make the sacrifice of building generational prayer altars that contends for God’s purpose on earth. Such men understand their calling in this direction and they sow their lives as seeds into it. Most of them are not very popular in their lifetime, but their activities in the realm of the spirit speaks volumes as they are able to control everything around them including the government of their days on their knees. Such men are in the class of Elijah. “And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.”
1 Kings 17:1-4.

Another area that the body of Christ is needing genuine labourers are in the area of pointmen. These are men who delivers the message of life and hope to a hopeless and dying world. Men who are not out to fill their pockets and belly, but to make sure that they do everything within their reach to reach lost and perishing souls. Such men has made up their mind to speak the truth or to preach the true gospel always, weather they live or die. Such men are in the class of Apostle Paul. For them, to live is Christ and to die is gain. The third group of people that the kingdom of God needs in our days desperately are sons of consolation. Men that will take the burden of finance off the shoulders of genuinely sent men, so that they can give the assignment the desired 100% concentration. One of the reason, many anointed men are not presently at their best is pressures of life, which we must avoid as much as is possible.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for saving my soul, as to use me to reach out to other men. From today, I surrender myself on your altar of service. Use me and every gift you have deposited in me to draw men to Christ. Help me to make sacrifices where necessary, so that my life can count before you in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Deuteronomy 31:1-8.

Called To A Covenant Life.

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Saturday February 24th, 2024.

Topic : Called To A Covenant Life.

Memory Verse :‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭44:4‬. They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams.

Bible Reading :Isaiah‬ ‭44:1‭-‬3‬ ‭NIV‬‬.. Key Verse: v2.

“But now listen, Jacob, my servant, Israel, whom I have chosen. This is what the Lord says— he who made you, who formed you in the womb, and who will help you: Do not be afraid, Jacob, my servant, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen. For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.

The word of God is ever fresh in every generation. What God told his people yesterday, he is telling them that belongs to him even today. He said in his word that he is the God who is not subject to change. In difficult times, God is always there for his people. Even when we sin and is being corrected, his correction is always done in love as to restore us to himself. The case of a child of God in any given situation is always different, because we live a covenant life with the Father. “Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers. As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.” Jeremiah 33:20-22 KJV.

The covenant of the Lord with his people comes with attendant rights and privileges. One very remarkable dimension of the covenant of God with his children is that each and every one of us are unique creatures, created to serve his chosen purpose. None of is an accidental product, rather we are designed to meet a specific need in our lifetime in his kingdom. “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.”
Jeremiah 1:5-7 KJV.

Another important dimension I discovered in God is that there is no hopelessness in Jesus . This stems from the fact that the believer can never be abandoned by the father under any circumstances. This understanding helps us stand strong in difficult times knowing that the Lord will always come through for us. Another sure dimension of our covenant life worth mentioning here is the dimension of blessing. Every child of God is blessed beyond curses or the forces darkness. This gurrantees us of a life of fruitfulness in everything that concerns us. When we serve and obey the Lord, we walk into his covenant of blessing by service. “And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.” Deuteronomy 7:13-15 KJV.

Prayer : Thank you Father God for calling me into a covenant life with you. Help me to love, serve and obey you all my days faithfully, so that every covenant blessing you have bestowed on me will speak in full measure to glorify you in everything I do, in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
