Our Daily Manna January 15, 2018: ODM devotional: No Subtraction This Year

Topic: No Subtraction This Year [Our Daily Manna ODM Monday, January 15th, 2018]

In Genesis 22:15-18, when God was blessing Abraham and Isaac after Abraham had attempted to sacrifice Isaac at Mount Moriah, He said in blessing, I will bless you, in multiplying, I will multiply your seed. WOW! This God has no business with MINUS, SUBTRACTION OR LOSSES this year. He is always talking about multiplication.

Mr. Lot went into Sodom full, but he left with a subtraction, he left without his wife and the subtraction of lots wife produced Moab, a nation that became the last Vegas (sinful headquarters of immorality) and capital enemy of Israel – Genesis 19:15-26, 31-38.

Naomi left Judah full with her husband and children but she returned alone and empty, that was subtraction, Ruth 1:1-5. Naomi said to the people of Judah, Do not call me Naomi but call me Mara Ruth 1:19-21. Subtraction makes people to ask you, where is your God? I prophesy, as the oil of ADDICTION MINUS SUBTRACTION comes upon you at the WORLD ANOINTING DECORATION NIGHT, SUBTRACTION PRODUCERS shall be disgraced!

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland’s Daily January 15, 2018 Devotional: Don’t Worry!

Topic: Don’t Worry! [Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, Monday January 15th, 2018]

Therefore do not worry and be anxious. – Matthew 6:31, The Amplified Bible

God is vehemently against worry. Jesus preached against it. Paul preached against it. The whole Bible preaches against worry because it was designed by Satan to produce stress, strain and death.

Yet many of us still act as if it’s an option, as if we’re free to worry if we want to. But we’re not! Worrying is a sin. It’s one of those things the Word of God directly commands us not to do.

What are you supposed to do then with all the concerns you have about your problems? In 1 Peter 5:7, God says you should “cast them all upon Him.” All. Not 75 percent of them. Not all of them but the ones about your kids. All of them!

Your confession every morning should be, “I do not have a care in this world because I’ve cast every one of them onto my Lord.”

Let me illustrate how that works. Let’s say you were standing about 20 feet away from me and I tossed my car keys to you. If someone else were to come to me and say, “Brother Copeland, I need the keys to your car. I need to use it,” I would say, “I can’t help you. I cast my keys over on him. I don’t have them anymore.”

That’s what you need to do with your worries. You need to cast them over on the Lord and not take them back. If Satan brings a worried thought to your mind, saying, “What if this terrible thing happens?” then you can tell him to talk to God about it. It’s in His hands, not yours!

Once you do that, changes will start to take place in your life. Problems you’ve been fretting about for years will start being solved. You’ll no longer be tying God’s hands with your worrying. His power can begin to operate because you’ve acted in faith and cast your cares on Him!

Remember, though, God will not take your cares away from you. You have to give them to Him. Then you have to replace those worries with the Word. You are the one who has to keep your thoughts under control. But you can do it. The Greater One dwells within you. He is able to put you over. Commit to it. You’ll never have to worry again.

TREM’s Daily 15 January 2018 Devotional by Dr. Mike Okonkwo – Become Secured In The Word

Topic: Become Secured In The Word [TREM’s Daily Monday January 15th, 2018]

“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.”  (Mark 13:31 KJV)

God is truly for us! God is with us!  And if God is for us who can be against us? But until we become acquainted and secured in the immutable and impregnable nature of the word of God we will remain a cheap victim in the hand of the devil. The devil doesn’t mind your coming to church every day. He doesn’t mind your dancing and sweating or high-fiving one another as long as you are ignorant and unable to know how the kingdom operates. So, if you don’t have an understanding of how God’s kingdom operates being regular in Church changes nothing.

It is important, therefore, that you know exactly what the word is saying; otherwise, all the goodness that God ordained for you will continue to elude you. That is the exact place the enemy wants us to be – the place of ignorance.

The greatest revelation you can ever receive is that the devil is a liar and God is totally true. He doeth only good and there is power in His word. God’s word has no margin for failure. Every other thing will fail but not the word of God because He created all things by His word.

Hebrew 4:12 says the word is quick and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, joints and marrows. Only the word can reach your tripartite being- the spirit, soul and body. It is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Another thing you should know is that every word declared over your life will not return void. It will produce in your life. It will produce healing in your body. It will open doors for you. It will elevate you. It will open your womb and it will give you a breakthrough in your life. I sense in my spirit that before this year ends you are going to receive a bumper harvest. Receive it in Jesus name!

Our Daily Bread 15 January 2018 Devotional – Pursuing Unity

Topic: Pursuing Unity [Our Daily Bread 15th Monday January, 2018]

Read: Colossians 3:9–17, Bible in a Year: Genesis 36–38; Matthew 10:21–42

Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and in all. Colossians 3:11

Growing up during the 1950s, I never questioned racism and the segregation practices that permeated daily life in the city where we lived. In schools, restaurants, public transportation, and neighborhoods, people with different shades of skin color were separated.

My attitude changed in 1968 when I entered US Army Basic Training. Our company included young men from many different cultural groups. We soon learned that we needed to understand and accept each other, work together, and accomplish our mission.

When Paul wrote to the first-century church at Colossae, he was well aware of the diversity of its members. He reminded them, “Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and in all” (Colossians 3:11). In a group where surface as well as deeper differences could easily divide people, Paul urged them to “clothe [themselves] with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience” (v. 12). And over all these virtues, he told them to put on love “which binds them all together in perfect unity” (v. 14).

Putting these principles into practice may often be a work in progress, but that is what Jesus calls us to. What we as believers hold in common is our love for Him. On that basis, we pursue understanding, peace, and unity as members of the body of Christ.

Amid all our wonderful diversity, we pursue an even greater unity in Christ.

Christ’s love creates unity in the midst of diversity.

Insight:

Colossians 3:11 lists ancient Colossae’s diverse people groups. Most familiar are the Jews (the children of Israel) and the Greeks (Gentiles in general—all non-Jews). Paul describes these two groups with the terms circumcised (Jews) and uncircumcised (Gentiles). Then he adds barbarian, Scythian, slave, and free. The distinctions between slave and free are obvious. Scythian refers to wild nomadic tribes and barbarian describes those who didn’t speak Greek and therefore were considered uncultured. The result is a spectrum of ethnically, linguistically, economically, and socially diverse people—all who found the ground to be level at the foot of the cross. Bill Crowder

Andrew Wommack’s Daily 15 January 2018 Devotional: God Looks For Availability

Topic: God Looks For Availability [Andrew Wommack’s Daily Monday January 15th, 2018]

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).

Billy Graham’s Daily 15 January 2018 Devotional: Lean on the Rock

Billy Graham’s Daily 15 January 2018 Devotional: Lean on the Rock

Topic: Lean on the Rock [Billy Graham’s Daily Monday January 15th, 2018]

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.

Written by Billy Graham, Founder of Billy Graham Evangelistic Association(BGEA). BGEA exists to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ by every effective means and to equip the church and others to do the same.

The Cathedral You Wouldn’t Expect to Find in Hawaii

(PHOTO: DENNIS LENNOX)

For many, Hawaii is synonymous with sun and sand, mai tai cocktails, the singer Don Ho and of course, Polynesian culture.

But not far from Honolulu’s famous Waikiki Beach are visible reminders of a different time, when Hawaii was a sovereign country ruled by a monarch.

One such reminder is the Cathedral Church of St. Andrew, located about 15 minutes from Waikiki and within walking distance of the 1960s-era state capitol and other historic buildings from before the Stars and Stripes starting flying over the Hawaiian islands.

Today St. Andrew’s is the seat of the Episcopal bishop of Hawaii, but it actually dates to late 1860s when Hawaii’s monarchs, King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma, were closely aligned with the British under Queen Victoria.

As a result, the Anglicanism of the Church of England — not the Episcopal Church — became the state church, known as the Church of Hawaii. Hawaii wouldn’t come under the jurisdiction of American Episcopalians until after the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893.

Designed by London architects William Slater and R. H. Carpenter, it is inspired by the style of 12th century French Gothic. And while the architecture is interesting and well executed, the cathedral is a notable example of prefabricated construction — its stained glass windows, pointed arches and columns were sent piece-by-piece in ships for assembly in Honolulu. This was quite the logistical and architectural feat, as the Panama Canal wouldn’t open until 1914.

While Kamehameha IV’s heir, Kamehameha V, laid the…
