Topic: God Can Do It [TREM Devotional 15 January 2019]

“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”Mark 9:23 KJV

Child of God, don’t accept the challenges your parents went through. You will succeed, and you will excel irrespective of your background! You have made your choice to serve Jehovah and there is no way He would abandon you. He will fight your battles. He will shut the mouth of the enemy and He would silence the voice of the wicked. It may not have worked in your family, but God brought you into that family and delivered you. So there is no way you will not testify.

The Bible says this is the confidence that we have in Him, that when we pray according to His will He heareth us. In other words, because I know He hears; and because I know He hears me, I have the petition. You may not see it around me but I am pregnant with it. After nine months, you will see it manifest.

Let us not go about as if we are orphans. The whole of Heaven is working on our behalf. Let me ask you! Do you think that your challenges bring glory to God? No! God wants you to go through these challenges and come out on top. He is even eager to get you delivered much more than you think. The Bible says: “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things.” (Romans 8:32 KJV)

He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we think… In other words, what is your capacity? If I take a bottle of wine, God is saying that one is too small. He can fill a drum. If you come with a drum, He will fill it. If you come to Him with tanker, He will still fill it. He said, even if you go and dig the biggest reservoir, He is still not done with His resources. Don’t doubt God. Don’t limit yourself, God can do anything.

Open Heaven 15 January 2019 Prayer Points on Today – Staying Connected to Jesus

Topic: Sharing More Than Stuff [Our Daily Bread 15 January 2019 Devotional]

Bible in a Year: Genesis 39–40; Matthew 11

Your people will be my people and your God my God. – Ruth 1:16

Today’s Scripture & Insight: Ruth 1:11-18

“But I don’t want to share!” wailed my youngest child, brokenhearted that he would have to part with even one of his many LEGO pieces. I rolled my eyes at his immaturity, but truthfully, this attitude is not limited to children. How much of my own life, and really all of human experience, is marked by a stubborn resistance to freely and generously give to others?

As believers in Jesus, we’re called to share our very lives with one another. Ruth did just that with her mother-in-law, Naomi. As a destitute widow, Naomi had little to offer Ruth. And yet Ruth connected her own life to her mother-in-law’s, vowing that they would press on together and that not even death would separate them. She said to Naomi, “Your people will be my people and your God my God” (Ruth 1:16). She freely and generously gave to the older woman—showing love and compassion.

While sharing our lives in this way can be difficult, we should remember the fruit of such generosity. Ruth shared her life with Naomi, but later she bore a son, the grandfather of King David. Jesus shared His very life with us, but was then exalted and now reigns at the right hand of the Father in heaven. As we generously share with one another, we can be confident that we will experience greater life still!

Today’s Reflection
Jesus, as we share our lives with others, may we reflect Your loving heart.

MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 15 January 2019 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Are You Real? (I)

TOPIC: Are You Real? (I) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 14 January 2019)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: John 18:1-11

Bible In One Year: Genesis 26-38; Matthew 10:21-42

MEMORY VERSE: “And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.” – Matthew 26:50

The MESSAGE:

Judas welcomed Jesus with a kiss and a hug as a sign of affection and friendship. That was a demonstration of the subtlety and deceit of the serpent. It is a show of the vulpine cunning of the fox. His outward manifestation was completely different from the evil that was locked up in his heart. Is your heart pure? Are you real? At this point, Judas was under the influence of evil spirits. One of such spirits was mammon. Judas was planning to betray and sell his Master, Jesus, for 30 pieces of silver. He was an unfriendly friend. He was so close to Jesus, yet he was the Jonah in His boat, an enemy in His camp.

According to the Gospel of Matthew, Judas Iscariot was a disciple of Jesus. Before the Last Supper, Judas went to the chief priests and agreed to hand over Jesus in exchange for 30 pieces of silver. Jesus was then arrested in Gethsamane, where Judas revealed Jesus’ identity to the soldiers by giving him a kiss.

Treachery is an ungodly attitude. A believer should not have anything to do with double-dealing, perfidy and treachery. They are the sins and guilt of satan, and anyone found practising them belongs to satan not God.

Are you real, reliable and faithful? Judas wasn’t. He was a double-faced personality. He was deceitful. He said one thing and did another. His character was really not Christ-like and will only lead anyone who imbibes it to the kind of horrible end he had. Be wise!

Every organisation has core values that show its true ideals and set it apart from other organisations. If your acts and ways are contrary to the core values of the organisation you belong to or work for, you are not better than Judas. You are a bad team player. You are also guilty of treachery and betrayal. You must turn a new leaf today. If you have all along been double-faced and double-dealing in your relationship with close friends and associates, though others are unaware, you have to repent and steer clear of Judas-like traits and ungodly acts today. The pain and shame will be worse than the ones Judas had to face.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IN YOUR “BOAT” IS ROWING AND NOT DRILLING HOLES WHEN YOU’RE NOT LOOKING. KNOW YOUR CIRCLE.

PROPHETIC WORD:
Every agenda of deceitful and unfriendly friends in your life shall backfire.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

1. O Lord, let my heart be pure, in the name of Jesus.
2. Every unfriendly friend, depart from me, in the name of Jesus.
3. I shall not be a double-faced personality, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING

1. I refuse to be guilty of treachery and betrayal, in the name of Jesus.
2. Every spirit of deceit and unfaithfulness in my life, die, in the name of Jesus.
3. Every Judas-like trait in my life, die, in the name of Jesus.
4. Any power assigned to disgrace me, die, in the name of Jesus.

Love-Marathon-dclm-daily-manna-15-January-2019

Topic: Love Marathon [DCLM Daily Manna 15 January 2019 Daily Devotional by Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi]

Text: John 13:1-15 (KJV)

Key Verse: “Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end” (John 13:1).

MESSAGE:

Pheidippides, a legendary Greek runner and news-bearer, was said to have run a distance of about 26 miles from Marathon to Athens to announce the victory of Greece over Marathon in 490 BC. As soon as he delivered his message: “Nenikikamen” (We have won), he died. This is how long distance running acquired the term “marathon race”.

Christ’s love for His disciples could be best described as marathon. “Having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.” Unlike what happens in a hundred metres dash, which lasts but for a brief moment, He loved them till He physically departed from this world. He chose them out of love, taught them out of love, put up with their shortcomings of out of love and made them what them became out of love. He demonstrated this love by stooping to wash their feet.

The love of Christ for His own did not stop at the point of His crucifixion. He showed Himself to the disciples after His resurrection and treated and admonished them most lovingly. That love has continued till date. He so “loved the church, gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; that it should be holy and without blemish” (Ephesians 5:25-27).

If you are one of those who have placed their faith in Christ and saved from sin by His grace, you should be rest assured that Christ loves you with a special love. He is such Lord and Saviour that is touched with the feeling of our infirmities. He cares and is powerful enough to walk you through your earthly struggle and take you to heaven at last.

Thought For The Day: The love of Christ mingled with the love for Christ is the right blend for the Christian.

Topic: Being Sold Out To God [Seeds of Destiny 15 January 2019 Devotional]

Scripture: Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee….. So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; Genesis 12:1, 4.

Thought For The Day: When your commitment (or dedication) to God is confirmed, His advertisement of your life is automatic.

Dedication to God is a major secret of seeing Divine proofs in life; people who are dedicated to God do not beg Him to prove Himself and His Power in their lives. When your commitment (or dedication) to God is confirmed, His advertisement of your life is automatic.

Now, one definition of dedication is being sold out to God. Like we saw earlier, Abraham was an example of a person who was sold out to God (Genesis 12:1-5).
The question is, what does it mean to be sold out to God?

It is:
i. Allowing God to assume the ownership of your life (Genesis 12:1-5)
One who is dedicated to God does not own his life, time or resources. Dedication to God is allowing God to own you and all that you have.

ii. Allowing God to dictate the direction of your life (Genesis 12:1-5)
Being sold out to God is allowing God to dictate the direction of your life (Genesis 12:1-5). When God dictates the direction of your life, you would not move as you choose or do things as you please. To be sold out to God is allowing God to have the final say over the issues of your life – your work, marriage, ministry, career, academics, etc. It is sacrificing your personal agenda and ambition on the altar of consecration and relationship with God.

Beloved, my counsel is, come to a point of being sold out to God like Abraham and Paul (Genesis 12:1-5, Acts 20:22-24). Allow God to assume the ownership and direction of your life.
Remember this: When your commitment (or dedication) to God is confirmed, His advertisement of your life is automatic.

Assignments:

1. Surrender your life and resources completely to God.
2. Make up your mind to discover God’s pathway for your life and follow it always.

Prayer: O Lord, I ask for the grace to hold nothing back from You. Show me Your pathway for my life; I receive Your mercy to follow it, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Topic: God Looks For Availability [Andrew Wommack Devotional 15 January 2019]

Luke 2:24, “And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”

Text: Luke 2:21-24

The Old Testament passage being quoted is from Lev. 12:6-8. There the Lord commanded a lamb and a young pigeon or a turtledove as the prescribed sacrifice. If the woman was unable to offer a lamb, then two young pigeons or two turtledoves were acceptable. Mary would not have offered the lesser offering if it had been in her power to provide the lamb.

This reveals that Joseph and Mary were not well off financially, yet the Lord chose them to be the earthly parents of His only begotten Son.

The Lord doesn’t choose the way man chooses. Man looks on the outward appearance but God looks on the heart (1 Sam. 16:7).

Mary and Joseph were chosen when they were without: without fame, without position, without money. God entrusted the most precious gift He had to a couple who would surely have been overlooked if men had been conducting the search.

God isn’t looking for ability, but rather availability. D. L. Moody once heard a preacher say, “The world has never seen what God can do with one man who is totally yielded to Him.” In response, D. L. said, “By the grace of God, I’ll be that man.” This uneducated man went on to shake three continents for God.

God will choose you too, if you’ll make yourself available to Him (1 Cor. 1:26-28).

Topic: Lean on the Rock [Billy Graham Devotional 15 January 2019]

When my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. — Psalm 61:2

When you become a Christian, it doesn’t mean that you will live on a perpetual “high.” The Psalmist David went down to the very depths, and so did the Apostle Paul. But in the midst of all circumstances God’s grace, peace, and joy are there. The tears will still come, the pressures will be felt, and so will the temptations. But there is a new dimension, a new direction, and a new power in life to face the circumstances in which you live.

Prayer for the day: David and Paul have given me the example of trusting You, Lord, even in the excruciating valleys of life. Like them, I praise You.
