Topic: Create The Atmosphere This Year! -1 [Our Daily Manna ODM Tuesday, February 20th, 2018]

Basic Scripture: Mark 6:1-12

The atmosphere you create is what attracts the anointing that you desire. God is atmosphere-addicted! Jesus could do very little in Nazareth because the atmosphere was wrong! In some few cases, He, the Almighty God, could not heal without the right atmosphere. The blind man could not be totally healed until He took him out of town (MARK 8: 23).

Jarius’s daughter could not be raised from the dead until certain people were put out of the room (Luke 8: 54). If the Lord needed a right environment for miracles to take place, then in this year 2018, you must create the right atmosphere daily for HIM to move in your life/family/ministry. Use today’s devotional to paralyze every negative environment manufactured by the devil to hinder you this year! Satan can make the atmosphere negative in your home, office, ministry, etc. Look at Micah 2:13: The breaker come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them and the Lord on the head of them. Wow! The atmosphere causes the Lord to BREAK THE BREAKABLES and to cause satanic closed gates to open for you.

In the upcoming Lagos Anointing service this weekend (February 25th , 7:30am), the BREAKER shall break whatever Satan has manufactured in your life, family and ministry. MARITAL ROBBERS and OTHER ROBBERS WILL DIE! Repair every broken altar, forgive all offences, reject bitterness, run from sin and create the right atmosphere for HIM today! Pray now!

PRAYER POINTS:  Take song 1: Draw me nearer………

1. Thank God for today’s word and pray as you are led!
2. Satan you are a liar! I reject every negative environment that will block my heavens in Jesus name.
3. I repent from every sin, unforgiveness or any evil that will cause the Lord to work out (mention more if any).
4. Holy Spirit, help me to live in faith, worship and holiness daily this year.
5. OH BREAKER of demonic gates, break every breakable in my life, family and ministry.
6. Pray about today seriously and any other issues affecting your peace.

Topic — Longevity Of Life: A Package Of The Covenant [Seeds of Destiny Tuesday February 20, 2018]

Scripture: And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. Leviticus 26:6

Thought For The Day: No devil can find what God hides.

The best thing that can happen to a person on earth is to be in covenant with God. The covenant is a covering and also for your colouring. You cannot live a colourless, reproachful life when you are in covenant with God.

When you are in covenant with God, whatever cannot touch God cannot touch you. A covenant person is beyond the reach of enemy confrontations.

Now, there are many benefits when you are in covenant walk with God. One of these benefits of covenant walk with God is longevity of life.

The days of the righteous are numbered and no devil is permitted to push you out before the day expires (Exodus 23:26). As Jesus said in John 10:18, No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again…, in the same manner, no sickness, witch or wizard can take your life from you if you are in covenant with God. No devil can find your life when it is hidden in God through covenant. No devil can find what God hides.

Remember This: No devil can find what God hides.

Assignments:

1. Hide your life in God through personal communion with God.

2. Be consistent in your covenant practices.

Prayer: O LORD, take me to Your secret place. Hide my life in Your Hands LORD, in Jesus’ Name.

Flatimes’ Notice Board: Please do not prolong your salvation if you have not repented. Many are going home daily and tomorrow maybe too late…There is still hope, JESUS LOVES YOU!

Today’s devotional was written by Pastor Paul Enenche of the Dunamis International Gospel Centre (DIGC), headquartered at Abuja, Nigeria, with Pastor Paul and Becky Enenche, as the Senior Pastors. It is a power-packed arena where God’s Presence, Principles and Power are at work for the salvation, healing and restoration of human destinies and dignities.

The joy of the Lord is your strength. – Nehemiah 8:10

Joy. It’s not a warm, happy feeling you’re supposed to have now and then when things are going well. It’s much more than that. Joy is one of the most powerful spiritual forces in the world.

Look again at Nehemiah 8:10 and I’ll show you why. If you were to diagram that scripture and remove the phrase, “of the Lord,” you would find what it’s truly saying is this: Joy is strength. The two are interchangeable.

That’s what makes joy so crucial. You can’t live a life of faith without being strong in the Lord—and when God wants to make you strong, joy is what He uses to do the job!

Joy is not just a state of mind. It is not a fleeting emotion. Joy is a very real force, and the devil doesn’t have anything that can stand up against it. Just as fear has to yield to faith, discouragement has to yield to joy.

Since joy is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit, you already have it residing within you. But you must develop it, confess it and live by it if you want to enjoy its power.

Whatever circumstances you are facing today, you can be full of joy. You can be strong in the Lord. You can draw on the supply of the Holy Spirit within you and come out on top.

Rejoice!

Topic Be Involved In Kingdom Assignment [TREM’s Daily Tuesday February 20, 2018]

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. (Matthew 5:14 NKJV)

When Jesus walked the face of the earth, His mandate was to do the Fathers’ will. Little wonder He could say ‘’It is finished’’ while He hung on the cross. Today, that same urgency to do the will of the Father has been handed over to us and we cannot afford to fail.

God’s plan is that your worship would not end in the church. His intention is that you get involved in kingdom assignment, wherever you are located. When you come to church, it is to get refuelled and recharged so that you can go back and impact your world for the kingdom. Today, we have a clientele of believers who are very vibrant in church, but back in their offices, no one knows they have been with Jesus. Beloved this should not be. God’s intention is that you will be the extension of His Hands and Legs. So, that wherever you go, you will bring glory to His name. Simply put, He wants you to work the way He would have worked if He were in your shoes. When you do that, you make it very easy for the gospel to penetrate your work environment because you are the ‘Jesus’ the people know and you are the ‘bible’ they read.

Always remember that you are the light of the world and salt of the earth. Child of God, everywhere you go, your assignment as a believer is to plant the kingdom. Let people look at you and see the God you serve. Let your light so shine that men will see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. Put into practice on Monday to Saturday what you learnt on Sunday. You know that the word of God is practical and achievable. It is not a theory or myth. So always dare to make the difference.

Topic: The Great Physician [Our Daily Bread 20 Tuesday February, 2018]

Read: Matthew 4:23–5:12, Bible in a Year: Leviticus 26–27; Mark 2

Remain in me, as I also remain in you. John 15:4

When Dr. Rishi Manchanda asks his patients, “Where do you live?” he’s looking for more than an address. He has seen a pattern. Those who come to him for help often live in conditions of environmental stress. Molds, pests, and toxins are making them sick. So Dr. Manchanda has become an advocate of what he calls Upstream Doctors. These are health care workers who, while providing urgent medical care, are working with patients and communities to get to the source of better health.

As Jesus healed those who came to Him (Matthew 4:23–24), He lifted their eyes beyond the need for urgent physical and material care. With His Sermon on the Mount He offered more than a medical miracle (5:1–12). Seven times Jesus described attitudes of mind and heart that reflect a well-being that begins with a new vision and promise of spiritual well-being (vv. 3–9). Two more times he called blessed those who experience relentless persecution and find their hope and home in Him (vv. 10–12).

Jesus’s words leave me wondering. Where am I living? How aware am I of my need for a well-being that is greater than my urgent need for physical and material relief? As I long for a miracle, do I embrace as enviable the poor, broken, hungry, merciful, peacemaking heart that Jesus calls blessed?

Prayer: Father in heaven, it’s so hard to see beyond our pain. Please let us sense Your mercy in this moment. Lift our eyes beyond ourselves. Let us find a new vision and source of health in the care of Christ, who heals.

When God is our home, our hope is in Him.

Insight:

The end of Matthew 4 implies that people were following Him in the hope of being healed of anything that ailed them. Yet in response to the crowd’s desire to be physically healed, Jesus responds with words that can heal the soul. The Great Physician looks deep into our hearts and heals not just our bodies but our souls as well. J.R. Hudberg

Topic: Drawn By His Power [Andrew Wommack’s Daily Tuesday February 20, 2018]

Mark 1:37, “And when they had found him, they said unto him, All [men] seek for thee.”

Text: MK. 1:35-39; LK. 4:42-44

This is an amazing statement. Jesus’ ministry was only a few months old and the masses of people were already seeking him out.

This is even more astonishing when you realize that Jesus had not used any of the conventional methods of publicity. In fact, Jesus had already rejected publicity during His first ministry in Jerusalem (Jn. 2:24-25). There was no natural explanation for Jesus’ success.

God is the one who promoted Jesus. And He used supernatural means to do it. It was not the slick techniques of Madison Avenue that brought the crowds–it was the awesome manifestation of God’s power.

Just the day before, Jesus had cast the demon out of a man at the synagogue in Capernaum (Mk. 1:21-28). This caused the whole city to gather at Peter’s house and Jesus healed every one of them (Lk. 4:40).

Jesus’ display of the miraculous power of God was the spark that the Holy Spirit used to light a fire in the hearts of these people. Jesus had this power because of His intimate relationship with His father. It is no accident that He was praying while all men were seeking Him.

As you seek to touch others with the new life that you’ve found in Christ, let God confirm His Word with the miraculous manifestations of His power through you.

Topic: Overcome Temptation [Billy Graham’s Daily Tuesday February 20th, 2018]

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. — Psalm 119:11

When temptations come, let me suggest that you ask God for strength-and also to show you the way He has prepared for your escape. One other word of counsel; be very sure that you do not deliberately place yourself in a position to be tempted. All of us are not subjected to the same weaknesses and temptations.

To one, alcohol may be the temptation; to another, it may be impure thoughts and acts; to another, greed and covetousness; to another, criticism and an unloving attitude. Regardless of what it may be, be sure that Satan will tempt you at your weak point, not the strong. Our Lord has given us an example of how to overcome the devil’s temptations. When He was tempted in the wilderness, He defeated Satan every time by the use of the Bible.

Prayer for the day: With the shield of Your Word, I will face temptation, almighty God.
