Topic: Short and Sweet [Joyce Meyer Devotional 29 January 2019]

You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. — Jeremiah 29:13

Sometimes people think they have to spend a long time praying in order to demonstrate their love for God. But prayer does not have to be long to be powerful.

The length of our prayers really makes no difference to God. All that matters is that our prayers are Spirit-led, heartfelt, and accompanied by true faith.

There is certainly nothing wrong with praying for an extended period of time. I believe we should set aside times for prolonged prayer and that our willingness or lack of willingness to spend time with God determines our level of intimacy with Him.

If issues in our lives really require us to pray at great length, then we need to do that, but we do not have to pray prolonged prayers just for the sake of logging time.

I have learned that some of the most powerful, effective prayers I can pray are things like, “Thank You, Lord,” or “Give me strength to keep going, Lord.” And perhaps the most powerful of all: “Help!!!”

See? Just a few words will connect us with heaven, and God will know how much we love Him simply because we turn our thoughts toward Him.

If you have thought your prayers had to be long in order to be effective, I hope you have now been relieved of that burden. Just one word spoken to Him in faith from a sincere heart can reach His heart and move His hand.

Prayer Starter: Father, let my prayers today be like breathing—easy, comfortable, and almost without thinking. Help my prayers and conversations with You become more genuine and meaningful—less about “have to” and more about “want to.” In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Topic: You Can Do More [TREM Devotional 29 January 2019]

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me”. Philippians 4:13 KJV

People who are not willing to stretch themselves don’t go far. Never! They disappear into oblivion! Their names are not known. But when you are willing to discover new territories and step into areas where others fear to step into, your name shall be written in gold. I challenge you, therefore, to stretch yourself. Stretch yourself into your destiny. Attempt big things that will require God to step in and help you achieve. Don’t just receive all that is spoken over your life in Church and go home, sit back and do nothing. God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above what we can ask or think according to the power that is at work in you.

Check out what others are doing and find out what it is that is on ground that you can improve upon. Ask yourself; what can I provide to make it better? How can I package it better? Find out what is on ground and make it better than what it is. You can do more.

Beloved, there is work to be done. Today, the Lord has blessed you with a home, a husband, wife, children and a car. But that is not all. There is more to be done. The nations of the world are calling you. The nations of Africa are hungry. Don’t be deceived with what we see in Nigeria. Some of the things we take for granted are not like that in most of the countries that are close to us here.

I prophesy a fresh anointing of speed and glory come upon your life. I decree that fresh ideas, concepts and knowledge of witty inventions be released upon your life. You will take your portion. You will not miss your opportunities. God will position you for greatness. By reason of the anointing of the Holy Spirit upon your life, you will rise above the obstacles and impediments of the wicked. No power shall hold you down. I bless you today.

MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 29 January 2019 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – The Wonders of God’s Word(II)

TOPIC: The Wonders of God’s Word(II) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 29 January 2019)

Bible In One Year: Exodus 21-22; Matthew 19

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Job 22:21-27

MEMORY VERSE: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” – Romans 1:16

The MESSAGE:

God’s word is the carrier of God’s power. The word of God opens new chapters for destinies. The word of God opens lives to new levels. That was the case with Joseph. When his word came, a new chapter was opened to him.

The word of God gives life. That is why the Bible talks about the life-giving water of the word. In addition, supernatural victory is domiciled in the word because God still upholds all things by the power of His word till now (Ephesians 6:17). The word of God produces signs and wonders (Matthew 4:1-4; Hebrews 1:3; Matthew 21:44). From the mystery of creation, we understand that God’s word truly creates solutions supernaturally (Genesis 1:1-3; Mark 16:20; Acts 14:3).

Beloved, the word of God is the believer’s divine panacea or cure all. The Bible says that God’s word is life to those who find it and health or medicine to all their flesh (Proverbs 4:20-22). God sent His word, His word heals them and delivered them from their destructions. His word delivers; His word illuminates, guides and protect. His word empowers (Psalms 107:20).

For you to appreciate the innumerable benefits and wonders of God’s word, you must be born again. Study the word daily, obey God’s instructions from His word, memorise the word, meditate on the word and be a doer of the word. Finally, share the word with others and use it to win souls for Christ.

Everything you need for fulfilled life on earth and eternity in heaven is in God’s word. Become a word addict today. You will also become an environmental transformer, a world changer and a performer of signs and wonders in your generation.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
THE WORD OF GOD HAS THE CAPACITY TO TURN YOU TO A WONDER.

PROPHETIC WORD:
Your destiny helpers shall locate you by fire.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

Topic: The God-Revolving Decisions and Actions [Seeds of Destiny 29 January 2019 Devotional]

Scripture: And this will we do, if God permit. Hebrews 6:3

Thought For The Day: Taking a God-revolving decision or action is key to success in life.

Destiny is a product of decisions and actions of life. Great destinies are birthed as a result of great decisions and actions; also, small destinies thrive on small decisions and actions.

Now, one of the secrets of great men like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and even our Master Jesus Christ was that they all took decisions and actions that revolve around God. Therefore, taking a God-revolving decision or action is key to success in life.

Also, to live for God is to make decisions and take actions that revolve around our relationship with God. Let me give you a practical example: as a lady who is about to get married, when you take decision and action that revolve around God in the area of your marriage, you are not going to be carried away by any rich man you see. When someone who is rich comes to marry you, the questions to ask yourself are: Does he have a relationship with God? Does he fear God? Or is it just his money I want to marry? In the same way, as a young man, if you see a young girl to marry, you need to ask yourself: Does this lady fear or respect God? Does she have a spiritual stand with God? Or am I attracted to her because of her container? If you see a job, the questions you need to ask yourself are; will the job help me to serve God better? Or will it take me to hell?

Beloved, make up your mind to live for God and God only; take decisions and actions that revolve around God only and you would be distinguished in life.

Remember this: Taking a God-revolving decision or action is key to success in life.

Amazing Fact: Your eyes contain 7 million cones which help you see colour and detail, as well as 100 million cells called rods which help you to see better in the dark.

Assignments:

1. Let all your decisions and actions revolve around God always.
2. Draw closer to God always in order to know what He wants you to do.

Prayer: O Lord, I receive the grace to take decisions and actions that revolve around You, in Jesus’ Name.

Topic: Get The Cleaning First [DCLM Daily Manna 29 January 2019 Daily Devotional by Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi]

Text: Isaiah 6:1-8 (KJV)

Key Verse: “And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged” (Isaiah 6:7).

MESSAGE:

Charles Spurgeon had a sinful habit of smoking cigarette. It became a concern to many of his followers who saw him smoke openly. One day, he invited a guest minister who spoke on the need for believers to shun “little foxes” such as smoking, adding that anyone who was still involved in the habit of smoking was not really a child of God. There was rowdiness in the congregation because they wondered why their pastor was into smoking. After the preacher ended his message, Spurgeon was said to have climbed the stage and in a bid to water down the effect of the message, said: “Brethren there are things which to men appear sinful, but to God they are not so; despite what Brother Pentecost has said, tonight I hope to smoke a good cigar to the glory of God.”

Within days, tobacco companies in the country used his picture to advertise their products. We are told that it was that sad experience that got him genuinely converted. He gave up the habit and was totally purged of it. He later accomplished a lot for God.

Prophet Isaiah had been living his life, dwelling among people of “unclean lips”; he never realised he had a serious limitation until the very day when he had a special visitation. For the first time, he “saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train fill the temple.”

He had an experience and encounter that changed his life completely. He had his mouth touched with a live coal by a messenger of God, a Seraphim. It was after that touch that his sins were purged and iniquity taken away. The presence of God should make us humble in worship like Isaiah.

Those who are still “undone” and of “unclean lips” have no business bearing the word of God to others. You need to be purged today.

Thought For The Day: A clog on wheel of revival we would be, unless we disentangle ourselves from yokes of limitations.

Topic: Algae and Diatoms [Our Daily Bread 29 January 2019 Devotional]

Bible in a Year: Exodus 23–24; Matthew 20:1–16

Stop and consider God’s wonders. – Job 37:14

Today’s Scripture & Insight: Job 37:14-24

“What’s a diatom?” I asked my friend. I was leaning over her shoulder looking at pictures on her cell phone she had taken through a microscope. “Oh, it’s like algae, but it’s harder to see. Sometimes you need a drop of oil on the lens or they have to be dead to see them,” she explained. I sat amazed as she scrolled through the pictures. I couldn’t stop thinking about the intricate detail God put into life that we can only see with a microscope!

God’s creation and works are endless. In the book of Job, one of Job’s friends, Elihu, points this out to Job as he struggles through his loss. Elihu challenges his friend, “Listen to this, Job; stop and consider God’s wonders. Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash? Do you know how the clouds hang poised, those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge?” (Job 37:14–16). We, as humans, can’t begin to understand the complexity of God and His creation.

Even the parts of creation we can’t see reflect God’s glory and power. His glory surrounds us. No matter what we’re going through, God is working, even when we can’t see it and don’t understand. Let’s praise Him today, for “He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted” (Job 5:9).

Today’s Reflection
Lord, thank You for the detail You put into creation and for being at work even when we can’t see it.

Topic: Just Do It [Kenneth Copeland Devotional 29 January 2019]

And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. – Luke 13:14

Religion is dangerous. Religion would rather debate about healing than see somebody healed. Religion would rather argue about deliverance than see someone set free.

You can see an example of that in Luke 13. Jesus healed a woman who had been bowed over for 18 years. Think of it, a dear old woman—a daughter of Abraham Jesus called her—set free after being bound by the devil for nearly two decades. You’d think the temple rulers would have been rejoicing at what Jesus had done. But, no! They were angry because He’d done it on the wrong day.

Do you know what’s worse? Those very same religious leaders who criticized Jesus for healing on the Sabbath could have ministered healing to that woman themselves on any of the other six days of the week if they’d cared enough to do it.

That’s why Jesus was so indignant with them. They had the same covenant of Abraham that Jesus was ministering on. But their religion had kept that woman bound instead of setting her free. It always does.

Remember that next time someone tries to get you sidetracked into a religious debate about healing or deliverance. If someone needs to be delivered from a demon, just do it! Don’t get all hung up on theological questions about where the demon is.

“Is it in his body? Or his brain? Or his spirit? Or his pocket?” While you’re arguing about questions like that, the demon will be driving the poor guy up the wall.

The question isn’t, “Where is the demon?” The question is, “Why haven’t we gotten this man delivered? He’s our blood brother in the Name of Jesus and he ought to be free!”

Once you start asking that question, you won’t care whether that demon is inside or outside, hovering over or sitting under. All you’ll care about is getting that person free!

That’s the difference between religion and the love of God. Religion argues. Love acts. Choose love today.

Topic: Sharing Our Faith [Andrew Wommack Devotional 29 January 2019]

John 1:41, “He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.”

Text: John 1:37-42

Andrew was the first disciple of Jesus to share his faith and bring another to Christ. And look who it was that he brought.

Peter became one of the greatest apostles of Jesus. He preached on the day of Pentecost and saw 3,000 born again. He healed a lame man at the gate of the temple and 5,000 were born again as a result. He raised Dorcas from the dead, introduced Christianity to the Gentiles, and wrote two books of the Bible which have ministered to millions of people through the centuries.

Just think of how many millions of people Peter touched, and Andrew was responsible for it all. The accomplishments of Peter recorded in scripture, far outnumber those of Andrew, and yet without Andrew, Peter would not have known Jesus.

In the eyes of God, what Andrew did was just as important as what Peter did. As the one who introduced Peter to Jesus, Andrew had a part in every exploit of Peter. In the day when we receive our rewards from the Lord, Andrew will share in every reward that Peter receives.

Very few of us will shake our world as Peter did his, but all of us are called to share our faith with others as Andrew did. And who knows? One of those that you reach could be the next Peter.
