AVOID THIS COSTLY MISTAKE

TOPIC: AVOID THIS COSTLY MISTAKE

TEXT: “The men of Israel look them over and accepted the evidence but they didn’t ask God about it’ (Joshua 9:14)

One of the names of Jesus is wonderful Counselor. Meaning that Jesus wants to lead you. And if we adhere to his counsel, we can begin to experience his wonderful working power in our lives.

It’s hard to remain humble when you have just seen the red sea open for you to pass through, and seen the wall if Jericho come tumbling down. The tendency is that we become over confident, and overconfidence can be deadly! Flushed with victory the Israelites thought they didn’t need to consult God or listen to what God has to say about their next move. It’s quite a story: The crafty Gibeonites realized they couldn’t win against God’s people so they sent out a team of negotiators to make peace with them. And it worked! Even though they were lying, Joshua presumed they were telling the truth and signed the peace treaty. It was one of the biggest mistakes of his life. From that day the Gibeonites were a constant thorn in Israel’s side. Joshua lived to regret that he didn’t ask God about it. Fanny Cresby the blind song writer, wrote ‘O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer’

It’s frightening how we move from relying on God to relying on our intellect, or trusting a method because it worked in the past or we just do what everybody is doing. Hearing from God yourself is what gives you the edge. Leaving Him out gets you into trouble. If you have the tendency to move too quickly or to operate in your own strength and skill, pray for a red light in your spirit. Ask God to let you know when you are moving in your own will and strength rather than His. It will save untold heart ache and frustration. So avoid this mistake by all means by seeking His opinion as you go into this day   

ACTION PLAN FOR TODAY

Learn to listen to His voice daily by staying quiet in His presence after your prayers preferably in the morning hours of the day.

WORD CONFESSION

I am an evidence that Jesus Christ is alive and at work. Today I declare that my feet are ordered into God divine plan and will, I the wonderful counselor is going into this day with. I will not miss God’s ordained destiny in Jesus name

SKILLFULNESS FOR DESTINY ELEVATION

LIGHT FOR THE WAY

(Daily Devotional)

Monday 13th November 2017

TOPIC: SKILLFULNESS FOR DESTINY ELEVATION

TEXT: “Do you see a man skillful in His work? He will stand  before kings…

The cornerstone of success is skillfulness. Skill is the ability to do something well. And it comes by study, practice and hard work. Second best is unacceptable. Skillfulness puts you in hot demand, you don’t take back seat for anyone (Pro.22:25). Contrary to believes, skillfulness isn’t genetic, you don’t inherit it, you work hard for it, you burn the mid-night oil, you stretch yourself to your limits and refuse to settle for mediocrity. When you watch a skilled craftsman, your esteem rises at their attention to details, refusal to cut corners, patience, dedication and pride of production. Such people inspire confidence, respect and trust.

Genuine Christianity is showcased by been skilled worker for God when you speak people listen. If you go town you see people with gifts but lack the necessary skill to use the gift so they push out shoddy, second rated products. At the end they don’t excel and their voices not heard.

Whatever your work, do it in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the father through him (Col.3:17). As a representative of Christ we should be an epitome of excellence in the things we do. Knowing that we follow Christ, we should give employers and customers’ confidence they will get nothing but the best. The skillful person can’t lose, because God promises that their work will eventually attract attention of people who will promote and reward them. “do you see a man skilled in his work? he will stand before kings” where you stand among men is a product of the skills you possess. You might start in a corner but you will end up on the global stage. You might start at the bottom of the ladder but your destination is higher up.

ACTION PLAN FOR TODAY

In what better ways do you want to sharpen your skill this week

WORD CONFESSION

I am an evidence that Jesus Christ is alive and at work. Today I declare that I am a product of a skillful God. This day I manifest unusual skill at what I do at home and at work. I take my stand among the great in Jesus name

PRAYER POINTS

*Father thank you for bringing me and my family into this glorious week in Jesus name

*Father God, connect me to the people and the resources that will help to sharpen my skill i in Jesus name

*Father God, create new opportunity for my skills this week in Jesus name

*Father God, let the grace for maximum career performance rest on my life in Jesus name

*Father God, I refuse to be at the bottom of the ladder, lift me up to my next higher level in Jesus name

BE A CHANNEL OF ENCOURAGEMENT

LIGHT FOR THE WAY
(Daily Devotional)
Saturday 11th November 2017

TOPIC: BE A CHANNEL OF ENCOURAGEMENT

TEXT: “Encourage one another and build each other up”(1 Thess 5:11)

A famous singer was to perform at the Opera House. The concert hall was packed. Suddenly the house manager announced ‘Ladies and gentlemen, I regret that due to illness our special guest artist will unable to perform this evening, but we’ve found another singer, an equally great talent, so would you please give her a warm welcome! The crowd groaned so loud that nobody heard the singer’s name. You would the disappointment everywhere. The stand in singer gave it all she had. But when it was over, she got a bit scattered applause, followed by an uncomfortable silence suddenly in the balcony a child stood and shouted ‘Mummy I think you are wonderful!’ realizing what has happened, the crowd jumped to their feet and gave her a standing ovation that lasted several minutes.

There are people  in your life who are bleeding emotionally, crumbling under the load they are silently carrying, who never hear the word ‘ I think you are wonderful, or well done or even thank you’ why? (a) Because we never learn to say them. It’s not too late. (b) We don’t think some people need to hear them because they seem strong. Paul writes ‘there is no rest for us…battles on the outside and fears on the inside. But God who encourage the discouraged, encourage us by the arrival of Titus, his presence was a joy so was the news he brought)2Cor.7:5-8NLT). According to this scripture there are two things you can do to give someone an encouragement (1) Your physical presence, Pual said Titus’ presence was a joy (2) be a carrier of good news. Titus brought good news. Always tell of the Lord’s goodness to someone in need. god needs encouragers like Titus. Today you cane one of them

ACTION PLAN FOR TODAY
Look for someone to encourage today.

WORD CONFESSION
I am an evidence that Jesus Christ is alive and at work. I declare that God has given me the Spirit of love, kindness and sound mind, I am bringer of joy and carrier of good news in Jesus name

PRAYER POINTS
*Father thank you for bringing me and my family into this glorious weekend in Jesus name
*Father God I receive grace to be an encourager in Jesus name.
*Father God, a person can only give what he has, let your joy overflow in my life in Jesus name.
*Father God, I reject the spirit of discouragement in my life in Jesus name
*Father God, make me a channel of good news to everyone around me in Jesus name.
*Father God, let power for an elevated life rest on me now in Jesus name.

TURNING AN UNDESIRABLE DESTINY AROUND

LIGHT FOR THE WAY

(Devotional)

Friday 10th November 2017

TOPIC: TURNING AN UNDESIRABLE DESTINY AROUND

TEXT:  "God granted him his request…” (1 Chro.4:10)

The name Jabez means ‘a cause of pain’ but it was a label he refused to wear and a prophecy he refused to fulfill. And you should too. Just because someone calls you a failure doesn’t make it so. The Bible says you were in God’s mind before you were in your mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13-15).

 So who are you going to believe? Jabez wouldn’t let his beginning dictate his end. He refused to allow his family to put him down and his barriers to keep him in so he prayed thus: “O that thou would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me and keep from harm and God granted him his request. God has told us it’s our year of breaking forth. That means we need to break out and become boundry crossers! Instead of settling for less, let us start believing for more. More of God’s wisdom, more strength, more victory, more prosperity, more favour, more character, and much more!  The story of Jabez started with pain but ended in praise because God granted him his heart desire. If God granted Jabez his request I believe He will not deny you. Get ready for good days ahead!

ACTION PLAN FOR TODAY

Vehemently reject negative identities and labels

WORD CONFESSION

I am evidence that Jesus Christ is alive and at work I declare that this day I am basking in the blessing of God. My coast is enlarged. I am crossing new boundaries and breaking new barriers, I take my pleasant allotted places in Jesus name

PRAYER POINTS

*Father thank you for your faithfulness and mercy over my life and family in Jesus name

*Father God, let every negative labels on my life be removed by fire in Jesus name

*Father God, let your blessing swallow up every curse operating in and around my life in Jesus name

*Father God, enlarge my territories and boundaries in Jesus name

*Father God, let every power keeping me small and inconsequential be destroy by fire in Jesus name

*Father God, let the grace for multiplication and increase rest upon my life in Jesus name

*Father God, let any power set to waste my potentials be wasted in Jesus name

*Father God, make a way, open doors that will announce your glory in my life in Jesus name.

*Father God, by the token of the blood of Jesus, shield me and my family from any form of evil in Jesus name

POWER TO FINISH STRONG

LIGHT FOR THE WAY

(Daily Devotional)

Thursday 9th November 2017

TOPIC: POWER TO FINISH STRONG

TEXT: “…For in due season we shall reap if we faint not” (Gal.6:9)

Fulfilling destiny is like running a long distance race from year to year. And each time you come to the end of the year you finish a lap only to begin another lap in the year following. Been able to finish strong requires a lot of perseverance. Why perseverance? It’s because the end of every race is always the most difficult, that’s when the tendency to faint is very rife. But the Bible says we only reap if we faint not. What is perseverance? It means succeeding because you are determined to not because you are entitled to. Achievers don’t sit and wait for success because they think the world owes then. No! you must adopt a relentless and resilient attitude to win the race of life. Paul the Apostle said I started and I am going to finish. I have worked much harder been jailed more, beaten up more than I can count and at death’s…and that’s not half of it.(1 Cor.11:23-28). One word describes Paul; Relentless!

Another meaning of perseverance is recognizing that life is one long race but divined into many shot ones in succession. Each task has its own challenges and each day has its own events, you have to get out the next morning and run again. It is said Columbus encountered faced many incredible difficulties while sailing West in search for passage to Asia. He encountered storms, experienced hunger, deprivation and extreme discouragement. The crew of his three ships was near mutiny. But his account of journey says the same thing over and over: “Today, we sailed on”. And his perseverance paid off. He didn’t discover the fast route to the spice rich Indies; instead he found new continents. The scriptural key to finishing strong is to persevere through it all.

Perseverance is the backbone of champions. It is also said of Walt Disney’s request for a loan was rejected by 301 banks before he got a ‘yes’ but because he refused to quit he built the world’s famous theme park. Please note that quitters never win. Perseverance can turn years of adversity into advancement. Whatever is happening around you now is serving to prompt the cause of your destiny. So today hoist your sail once more and let God carry you to your ordained place of destiny.

ACTION PLAN FOR TODAY

Today like Columbus: SAIL ON!

WORD CONFESSION

I am evidence that Jesus Christ is alive and at work. By the grace of God I am advancing forcefully into the glory that the Lord has ordained for this year. I Will not back down or give up, I will get there in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINTS

*Father God, thank you for bringing me and my family into this great day in Jesus name

*Father God, let the grace and power to finish this year stronger than I began it rest on me now in Jesus name

*Father God, impart me with new strength for destiny accomplishments in Jesus name

*Father God, help me to keep my eyes on the goal and not to give up in Jesus name

*Father God, send divine help for my situation today in Jesus name

LOOKOUT FOR NEW THINGS

LIGHT FOR THE WAY

(Daily Devotional)

Wednesday 8th November 2017

TOPIC:  LOOK OUT FOR NEW THINGS

TEX: “Remember not the former things; neither consider the things of old. Behold I do a new thing…I will even make a way…”(Isaiah 43:418-19).

God is the in the business of doing new things.  Though some might say the year is been wound up but two months is too much for God to do great things in your life. In order to lay hold of the great things that God has in store for you in this season:

1)      Remember not the former things: the past is the enemy of the present and the future. God is not as interested in your past as He does in your present and future. He says “I am He who blots out your transgressions and remembers your sins no more” (Isa. 43:25). There are things in your past the enemy will want to bring up and grad you into the pit of depressions and regrets, he will resurrect old memories and rearrange old pictures in an attempt to discourage you. And if God says I don’t remember them He wants you to do the same.

2)     Be on the lookout for new things God will do: Look away from the darkness, the disappointments and the gloom of the past and focus on the new things that God is bringing to pass in your life. Focus on today will help expect and lay hold of the miracles that God is about making to happen in your life in the now. Dr. Oral Roberts said “Miracles are coming to you and going pass you every day”. And you only get it when you are on the lookout for it.

3)     God will make a way: God knows the best way to bring what you want to you. He once made a way through the red sea, gives beauty for ashes; He knows how to make past disappointments to work out for His own glory. This is exactly what Jesus was born to do for you and me! Expect new things today.

ACTION PLAN FOR TODAY

Live today and every day expectantly!

WORD CONFESSION

I am evidence that Jesus Christ is alive and is at work. Today I declare that new things are breaking forth in my life. The story of groaning gives way to the story of the glory, my story of frustration is turned to story of celebrations in Jesus name Amen !

PRAYER POINTS

*Father of grace thank you for your grace and mercy that has brought me and mine into this wonderful day in Jesus name

*Father God, I command every new thing that God loaded into this day to manifest by fire in Jesus name

*Father God, let your undeniable hand manifest in the situations of my life in Jesus name

*Father God, let the anointing that sponsors goodness rest on my now in Jesus name

*Father God, let men like angels and angels like men that have mandated to bring new things into my life locate me this day in Jesus name

*Father God, my portion shall not be diverted in Jesus name

*Father God, I break free from the old negative past in my life in Jesus name

*Father God, let your mighty hand pave the way to new things in my life this day in Jesus name

SUPERNATURAL RESTORATIONS BY FAITH

LIGHT FOR THE WAY

(Daily Devotional)

Tuesday 7th November 2017

TOPIC: SUPERNATURAL RESTORATION BY FAITH

TEXT: “Your faith has healed you…” (Luke 8:48)

Faith can manifest everything the Lord has promised in your life. The Bible told us the story of a woman who has been subjected to bleeding for twelve years. When she heard of Jesus, she came by faith and touched the tip edge of Jesus’ cloth and her health was restored. “Who touched me?’ Jesus asked. When all denied it Peter said “the people are pressing and crowding you... but Jesus said “someone touched me I know that power has gone out of me’ then the woman seeing she couldn’t go unnoticed came trembling and told. And told why she touched him and how she was instantly healed. Then he said to her “daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace” (Luk.8:48).
