Topic: Never An Unbeliever! [DCLM Daily Manna 26 November 2018 Daily Devotional by Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi]

Text: Genesis 24:1-9 (KJV)

Key Verse: “And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell“ (Genesis 24:3).

MESSAGE:

Getting hooked in marriage to a wrong partner is the worst pitfall any serious-minded individual can ever encounter in life. Abraham, the patriarch and father of Isaac did not want to put-at-risk the life and destiny of his son and lineage by marrying any of the daughters of Canaan.

The problems of unequal yoke in marriage, business, spiritual and secular endeavours are better imagined than experienced.

Believers must be wary of who they want to partner with in short and long-standing relationships. The scriptural injunction which serves as a guide for Christian pilgrims in this matter today is: “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers…” (1 Corinthians 6:14). This, however, does not prescribe non-association with unbelieving colleagues in social circles but a strict warning not to knot our life and destiny with such individuals through whom Satan can wreak havoc on us as believers.

One may retort and wonder how possible this stance is today! Yes, the chief servant of Abraham faced similar problem and felt the same way when this injunction was first given by God through father Abraham. But Abraham’s answer was reassuring, appropriate and practicable even in our contemporary time. He said, “the Lord God of heaven, which took me from my father’s house…; he will send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence” (Genesis 24:7). God and His good Spirit will guide you when your heart is steadfastly inclined to do His will. Never allow the current tide of evil in the society sway your heart away from obeying God and following this time-tested principle for Christian pilgrims.

Thought For The Day: Do not knot the tie with an unbeliever.

Topic: The Five-Fold Secret for Captivity Termination [Seeds of Destiny 26 November 2018 Devotional]

Scripture: And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. Luke 13:12-13

Thought For The Day: The Word of God manufactures a person unto freedom.

Previously, we saw that the power of God establishes a person in freedom from captivity by destroying the foundations of prisons and opening prison doors. The Presence or the Power of God is an answer to terminating the captivities of life.

In addition, there are other factors that can terminate captivity:
1. The power of prayer
When Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises unto God, the prison doors broke open (Acts 16:25). Prayer carries a captivity-terminating power.

2. The power of praise (Acts 16:25).
Paul and Silas sang praises, in addition and the prison doors could not hold them anymore. Praise is a captivity terminator. You can praise your way out of the bondage of life.

3. The Power of the Word (Psalm 107:20).
The knowledge of the truth of God’s Word makes a person free. (John 8:32, John 17:17). So, the Word manufactures a person unto freedom.

4. The Power of the Anointing
The anointing destroys yokes (Isaiah 10:27).

5. The power of prophetic impact
The captivity of a person can be terminated when God’s prophet over his life decrees against the captivity. In Luke 13:10-13, Jesus declared, woman thou art loosed…, laid hands on her, electrocuted the demon of paralysis, electrified her back and she got straightened on the spot.

I declare into your life today, every yoke holding you down is broken, in Jesus’ Name.

Remember this: The Word manufactures a person unto freedom.

Assignments:
1. Engage the secrets mentioned in our study today and expect a captivity turnaround.
2. Be intimately and consistently connected with God in worship.
3. Vehemently refuse a life of captivity.

Prayer: Lord, open my eyes to the truth that will guarantee my freedom from every captivity around my life, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Open Heaven 26 November 2018 Monday Daily Devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye – The Secrets of Life

Topic: The Secrets of Life (Open Heaven 26 November 2018)

Memorise: “The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.”– Deuteronomy 29:29 (KJV)

Read: Daniel 2:25-28 (KJV)

25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.

26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?

27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king;

28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;

Bible in One Year: Ezekiel 29-30, John 3:22-4:6

Open Heaven 26 November 2018 Monday MESSAGE:

Life is crowded with a lot of mystery, and the secrets of these mysteries are in the hands of the One who created the world. Many times, a lack of knowledge or understanding of these mysteries not only brings trouble to an individual, but also spells doom for his or her destiny. This is why some people desperately and foolishly go after fortune tellers, stargazers and magicians who claim to have a “third eye”. However, if you are a genuine child of God, I congratulate you, because our Father in heaven is the custodian of all the mysteries and secrets of life.

“The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.” – Deuteronomy 29:29 (KJV)

It is pleasant to read the words of the above scripture. However, you must not lose sight of the great responsibility contained in it. God reveals secrets and mysteries to us so that we can be in advantage position to do His will. In Matthew 13:10, the disciples of Jesus came to Him and asked, “Why are you speaking to people in parables?” Jesus answered them in Matthew 13:11, saying:

“…Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.”(KJV)

This truth accounts for the type of life the early disciples lived. They were able to turn their world over to God by preaching the mysteries of the gospel. Daniel and his colleagues also had access to the mysteries of heaven, so much so that they could reveal and interpret a dream that was forgotten by a king. None of the best astrologers of their time could unfold these mysteries, even though they tried. Take note of the declaration made by these children of God in Daniel 2:28a:

“But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days.”(KJV)

Beloved, if you want to have access to the secrets and mysteries of life, you must be ready to live by the commandments of God. God will always conceal His secrets and the mysteries of life from those who will make mockery or merchandise of them. However, He reveals these secrets to those who are genuine in their relationship with Him, like He did with Abraham (Genesis 18:17).

Open Heaven 26 November 2018 Monday Prayer Point:

Father, please count me worthy to have access to the secrets of life, and the mysteries thereof, so that I may no longer grope in darkness.
