There will be no poverty of body, soul and spirit in my life this year. The anointing of God upon my life gives me favour in the eyes of God and man all the days of my life.

Bid my anxious fears subside;
Bear me thro’ the swelling current,
Land me safe on Canaan’s side;
Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to Thee
I will ever give to Thee.

TREM Devotional 5 January 2019 – Embrace The Love Of Christ

Topic: Embrace The Love Of Christ [TREM Devotional 5 January 2019]

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8 KJV

That is the summary of the love of God. He did not wait for you to clean yourself up, like the songwriter said, “Just as I am without one plea”. He took you in with all your mess. He knew it was totally impossible for you to clean yourself up, so He took the initiative. You did not beg Him, He chose to come. He knew that to redeem man, He has to come as a man, walk the earth and pay the price and He did it all. Why then are you still bent on paying for your sins?

Beloved, the very fact that you were born of a woman is all that made you a sinner and there is no way you can save yourself: so, quit trying. Accept the price that Jesus as paid and thank Him.

In actual fact, the refusal to accept the finished work of Calvary is the highest show of pride. That is because what your action is saying is that you can save yourself, which is totally impossible. No man can save Himself, that was why Jesus came. I challenge you today to stop struggling. Stop and embrace the love of Christ. Thank Him for loving you so much that He paid the price for you. Rejoice in what He has done and then go into all the world and share that love with the dying world.

There are so many out there who do not understand the fact that the price has been paid in full. They are running helter-skelter looking for a solution to sin. It is, therefore, your responsibility to show them the love of Christ. Be that channel through which the love of Christ will flow into your world.

Our Daily Bread 5 January 2019 Devotional – Transformed & Transforming

Topic: Transformed & Transforming [Our Daily Bread 5 January 2019 Devotional]

Read: 2 Chronicles 33:9–17, Bible in a Year: Genesis 13–15; Matthew 5:1–26

Then he restored the altar of the Lord. . . and told Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel. 2 Chronicles 33:16

Tani and Modupe grew up in Nigeria and went to the UK to study in the 1970s. Having been personally transformed by God’s grace, they never imagined that they would be used to transform one of the most deprived and segregated communities in England—Anfield in Liverpool. As Drs. Tani and Modupe Omideyi faithfully sought God and served their community, God restored hope to many. They lead a vibrant church and continue to run numerous community projects that have led to the transformation of countless lives.

Manasseh changed his community, first for evil and then for good. Crowned king of Judah at the age of twelve, he led his people astray and they did great evil for many years (2 Chronicles 33:1–9). They paid no attention to God’s warnings and so He allowed Manasseh to be taken prisoner to Babylon (vv. 10–11).

In his distress, the king humbly cried out to God who heard his plea and restored him to his kingdom (vv. 12–13). The now-reformed king rebuilt the city walls and got rid of the foreign gods (vv. 14–15). “He restored the altar of the Lord and . . . told Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel” (v. 16). As the people observed the radical transformation of Manasseh, so too were they transformed (v. 17).

As we seek God, may He transform us and so impact our communities through us.

Heavenly Father, transform our lives that we may be used by You to bring transformation to others.

Welcome to Ruth O’Reilly-Smith! Meet all our authors at odb.org/all-authors.

Your transformation by God brings transformation to others.

INSIGHT
Second Kings 21:1–18 parallels 2 Chronicles 33:1–20, but the version in 2 Kings curiously omits Manasseh’s repentance. Both accounts share how Manasseh rebuilt the obscene shrines his father Hezekiah had destroyed, desecrating God’s holy temple and sacrificing his own son. Second Kings prophesies Jerusalem’s coming judgment (21:10–15), while 2 Chronicles shows us a larger story—the fulfillment of that prophesy and God’s hand in bringing Judah’s worst king to eventual repentance (33:10–17).

Seeds of Destiny 5 January 2019 Devotional – Supplication for A Lift and Shift In Life

Topic: Supplication for A Lift and Shift In Life [Seeds of Destiny 5 January 2019 Devotional]

Scripture: And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. Luke 9:29

Thought For The Day: When people are desperate for God, they express it at the place of prayer.

It has been confirmed that there are demands for supernatural liftings and shifting in life. God is interested in lifting His children, but not many people are lifted by God because not everyone meets the demands for supernatural lifting. Now, one of the demands of lifting and shifting in life is supplication.

Supplication is done at the place of prayer; desperation leads to supplication. When people are desperate for God, they express it at the place of prayer.

Now, let me give you two key thoughts on supplication:
i. Prayer changes people more than it changes things.
People think that the purpose of praying is just to change a situation but the man who prays is changed by his prayer (Luke 9:29).

ii. Supplication and intercession would lead to intensification, magnification and amplification.
This means, your life cannot remain little if you know how to pray. Jacob prayed until he was changed from being Jacob to becoming Israel (Genesis 32:28). Jacob is a person, but Israel is a nation. Jacob is a capacity and Israel is also a capacity; Jacob is an individual capacity while Israel is a nation’s capacity. A change in capacity happens at the place of prayer.

My Counsel is, first, be specific in prayer. Jacob made up his mind not to let God go until He had blessed him (Genesis 32:26). Second, refuse to quit until the answer comes (Genesis 32:26).

Beloved, if you are specific in prayer and you refuse to quit or give up on God, you will surely experience a lift and shift in life.

Remember this: When people are desperate for God, they express it at the place of prayer.

Assignments:

  1. Make up your mind to pray continually.
  2. Depend on God at the place of prayer for a lift and shift in life.

Prayer: O Lord, pour on me the Spirit of grace and supplication in Jesus’ Name (Zechariah 12:10).

DCLM Daily Manna 5 January 2019 – The Biggest Question

Topic: The Biggest Question [DCLM Daily Manna 5 January 2019 Daily Devotional by Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi]

Text: Psalm 15:1-5 (KJV)

Key Verse: “LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?” (Psalm 15:1).

MESSAGE:

For years of sitting in a classroom at high school, it was often frowned upon for a student to be the one asking questions ceaselessly for further explanation. In many cases, there was an unspoken rule among students: they must do their work, learn something, and leave when the bell rang, though some might not understand what was taught. But students who ask questions, benefit the most.

David asked the greatest question about what it takes to live with God eternally in heaven. And the answer quickly came from God, describing a life that is worthy of His presence. The list of requirements includes an upright walk and a righteous work. Not backbiting and slandering others, and not doing evil to one’s neighbours; complete the list with an unflinching consecration and hatred for bribes.

Definitely, David must have been thinking about the life beyond to contemplate this kind of question. Those whose thoughts and focus are only about the present world and how to get the best out of it will not spend their time thinking about the afterlife, let alone the expectation that they will be be required to give an account of their stewardship on judgement day. They consider a life of piety, holiness and righteousness unprofitable.

For a sitting king, with so much riches and honour, to reason to this extent about the afterlife is certainly food for thought. Those who are thinking there is still plenty of time to leave and savor the pleasures of this earth should have a rethink and borrow a leaf from David. Only the heart that has experienced the truth can speak the truth, live by the truth, obey the truth and appropriate the truth.

Thought For The Day: Good questions engender good answers

Open Heaven 5 January 2019 – Lessons from the Sower III

Open Heaven 5 January 2019 Saturday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Lessons from the Sower III

Topic: Lessons from the Sower III (Open Heaven 5 January 2019)

Memorise: “But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.”- Proverbs 6:32

Read: Luke 8:5, Proverbs 5:15-20 (KJV)

Luke 8:5:
5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

Proverbs 5:15-20:
15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.

17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee.

18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

Bible in One Year: Matthew 11-12, Isaiah 3:24-5:7

Open Heaven 5 January 2019 Saturday MESSAGE:

Over the past two days, we have been learning from the Parable of the Sower. The importance of this parable is underscored by the fact that Jesus referred to it as the key to understanding the mysteries of His other parables. In Mark 4:13, He said:

“And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?”

Today, we will reflect on this teaching from the perspective of marital faithfulness and fruitfulness. When a man sleeps with a woman, he is sowing seeds into her. In light of this truth, the Holy Spirit makes us understand in Malachi 2:15 that there is a difference between godly and ungodly seeds resulting from this act. Let every man therefore beware of where he sows his seeds, and let every woman be cautious of the type of seeds she receives into the ground that is her body. Sow wisely for your godly seeds to come at God’s appointed time. Proverbs 6:32 profoundly says:

“But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.”

In other words, when you have illicit sexual intercourse with a woman other than your wife, you lack understanding of the fact that you are sowing into a wrong soil. As a woman, it is foolhardy for to allow weeds to be sown into your vineyard through adultery.

“3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: 4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.” – Proverbs 5:3-5

Another lesson to learn from the Parable of the Sower is that keeping a concubine is very costly. What your spouse cannot demand from you, a concubine will. If you are engaged in adultery or fornication, you are sowing into grounds that cannot bring forth any profitable harvest. Some men build houses for their concubines and expend resources on training children that don’t belong to them. Sex workers and concubines are always disrespected and abused by men who are merely using them. The motive of these men is not to hold on to them forever but to use and dump them as they choose. Eventually, they will have to face the consequences of their sinful way of life. If you are caught in the web of this lifestyle, call on Jesus to deliver you before it is too late. Remember, today is the day of salvation; tomorrow may be too late.

Open Heaven 5 January 2019 Saturday Action Point:

Separate yourself from all strange men or women engaging your life in fruitless sowing today, and keep only to your lawfully wedded spouse.

Open Heaven 5 January 2019 Saturday Hymn 4: Take My Life, And Let It Be

1.Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise,
Let them flow in endless praise.

2.Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee,
Swift and beautiful for Thee.

3.Take my voice and let me sing,
Always, only for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee,
Filled with messages from Thee.

4. Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose,
Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose.

5. Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne,
It shall be Thy royal throne.

6. Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever, only, all for Thee.

NFL Star Benjamin Watson Family Testifies to God’s Grace in Both Victory and Tragedy

NFL Star Benjamin Watson Family Testifies to God’s Grace in Both Victory and Tragedy



New Orleans Saints’ tight end Benjamin Watson hopes to end his NFL career with his second Super Bowl win. 


Watson has played for four NFL franchises during his 15 years in the NFL but is looking to devote more time to the growing team in his home. He and his wife Kirsten recently announced that they are expecting twins–their sixth and seventh children.

Teachers use curriculum from companies such as Inner Explorer and MindUp as part of the meditation lessons. It’s often called “mindfulness.”


ACLJ reported on a $3.3 million federal grant for researchers at Penn State University to study the impact of meditation on children.  


“Students are subjected to real-time audio in the classroom, instructing them with directives such as to clear their minds, watch their memories and emotions float away, and feel their connection to the universe,” ACLJ reported


In one Connecticut elementary school, students practice yoga and use flameless candles.


“I want to see if you can feel that light in your life and light in your heart,” Michelle Brown, a kindergarten teacher at Consolidated School, told children, according to the News Times newspaper. “Because each one of you has that. I want you to feel it. I want you to believe it. I never want you to forget it.”


Schools in at least 10 states are using the programs, ACLJ said. Jay Sekulow, ACLJ’s…
