Topic: Our Vindicator [Joyce Meyer Devotional 23 November 2018]

I often say that Psalms are right after Job, because after getting beat up in Job, you need some psalms. God only knows what this man was going through, how hard it must have been. He lost his whole family, had boils all over his body, and all of his friends turned against him. Yet what does Job say? God is a God of justice.

Job knew who he was. He knew his own heart. He knew what he was doing. He knew his motives for doing what he was doing. He didn’t really care what others thought about him. He knew that his Vindicator was God. He didn’t have to defend himself, because if he needed to be vindicated, God would do it.

It might take a year or five years or ten years, but sooner or later God would come around and vindicate him. If he didn’t know that God was his Vindicator, he would have had to try to vindicate himself.

Prayer Starter: Lord, You are my Redeemer and Vindicator. You know my heart, and Your approval of my life is all that I need. Help me to not listen to others’ judgments. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Focus on God’s Word with Faith By David Ibiyeomie

Topic: Focus on God’s Word with Faith

God’s word is the supernatural activator of the power behind anointing. The word of God is self-anointed. Dwelling on God’s word averts evil. Anything your mind focuses on will happen. There is a way you will listen to news and if you are not mature enough, you will focus on the bad side of the news. When something wants to battle with your mind, stay on the word of God.

Isaiah 32:18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.

Focus on God’s word; it is sharper than two edged sword; never shift your attention from it.

Colossians 3:2 The Passion Translation (TPT) Yes, feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm.

Fill your thoughts with heavenly realities. The realities of the heavenly realm are realized via the word of God. Never allow the distractions of the world rule your mind but the word of God. When you focus on the word of God, it builds your faith.

Hebrews 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

Also Read: Knowing God Personally by David Ibiyeomie

Faith not expressed cannot produce result. Your words can make you either a victim or a victor; do not talk carelessly. Faith ignores what is happening and declares what is written. It is what you say you create; if you want to see great things, say great things.

2 Corinthians 4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak.

If you want to attack evil, never speak evil. Don’t ever say what you do not want to see. Focus on the word of God and express your faith in the words you speak. Your mouth is your final bus stop. David killed Goliath with his mouth first.

1 Samuel 17:46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

Never allow the word end in the opponent’s mouth. When satan spoke, Jesus spoke and it ended in Jesus’ mouth. In the midst of darkness, God spoke forth light. You do not express faith by saying the word of God when you see it happen, you say it to see it.

Always oppose negative pronouncements with the word of God. Do not close your mouth for everything hear your voice. There is a time to pray and a time to declare. No faith is finished until spoken!

God bless you

Topic: Christ is the Living Word [TREM Devotional 23 November 2018]

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 KJV

God has always desired for His children to see what He has planned for them. To this end, He has been painting pictures. He has tried to paint the picture by the written word but man didn’t quite see it. And here comes the living word, everywhere He went He was doing good. He raised the dead. He cast out devils and He healed the sick. Everywhere the Word went, there were incredible miracles. Consequently, man could see what the Word can do when he depends on it.

Stop looking up to your situation, rather start looking up to Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith. When you see Jesus, you see what you can do, you see what is available to you, you see your ability and your resources because Jesus came to show us what has been made available. Jesus, the living Word came to show you what the Word can do when you believe it. When you see yourself in the light of what the Word has provided, it will position you for a life of unlimited possibility.

Has He not said that no weapon formed against you shall prosper? Has He not said that He will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places that you may know that He that has called you is the Lord God of Israel? Has He not said that with long life will He satisfy you and show you His salvation and that what you bind on earth is bound in heaven and what you loose on earth is loosed in heaven? You have no reason to fear! He is the strength of your life! He is your refuge and a very present help in the time of need. Why are you seeing something else?

Topic: Another Accuser [Teens Open Heavens 23 November 2018]

Memorise: And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. Mark 11:25

Read: Luke 6:36-37 (KJV)

Bible In One Year: Ezekiel 29-31, James 5

MESSAGE:

God keep records of both good and bad deeds so that they can be used to determine your eternal reward. On the other hand, Satan keeps records of only your bad deeds. He does this to have evidence against you while accusing you before God. Whenever you are tempted to sin, be certain that at least one demon from accusation department is around you, ready to record your action if you fall.

You are identified by the records you keep. If you are capable of keeping only negative records, it shows you have the same nature as the devil. Satan never erases a negative deed done even if you have asked and received forgiveness from God. Do you list someone’s evil deed s with dates and at the end refuse to forgive or show the individual mercy? To make it to heaven you must destroy your black book of wrongs.

Key Point: If you retain anyone’s wrong doing, Heaven will retain yours too.

Hymn 13:

1. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is the love of God flowing through you?
Are you telling the lost of the Savior?
Are you ready His service to do?

Chorus:
Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.

2. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Are you burdened for those that are lost?
Have you urged upon those who are straying
The Savior who does on the cross

3. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is it a daily telling for Him?
Have you spoken the word of salvation?
To those who are dying in sin?

4. We cannot be channels of blessing
If our lives are not free from sin;
We will barriers be and a hindrance
To those we are trying to win.

Topic: Ungodly Contentment of Ingrates [DCLM Daily Manna 23 November 2018 Daily Devotional by Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi]

Text: Deuteronomy 32:15 (KJV)

Key Verse: “But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation“ (Deuteronomy 32:15).

MESSAGE:

Often, those who were once marvellously helped by God turn out to be rebellious ingrates. The case of Jeshurun in our text typifies this ugly nature of some humans. How and why do some individuals turn out to be ingrates to God and other benefactors? The answer is not hard to come by. “But Jeshurun waxed fat and kicked; … then he forsook God which made him and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation”.

Pride of success and accomplishment in secular endeavours often lead some people who initially depended on God for strength and succour to lose sight and fellowship with their Maker and Helper.

Are there repercussions for leading such life? Yes! The Lord warned His disciples on what would happen to such individuals, when He said, “Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep” (Luke 6:25). This scathing remark is what the Judge of the whole earth has for people who think they have made it in this life and as such have no need of God and His mercies upon their lives. We should not be foolhardy; God formed us.

Yes, He created us for His pleasure and fellowship and we should not allow the passing glories of this world to detach us from Him. The consequences of failure in this regard are grievous and regrettable in time and eternity. To escape being spiritual ingrates, we need to genuinely repent, reconcile with and reconnect to the God of heaven from whom all blessings flow. Thereafter, we must stay connected to Him until we see Him in glory.

Thought For The Day: Those who forsake the mercies of God today, should prepare to weep and mourn forever.

MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 23 November 2018 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – The Mystery of Divine Identity

TOPIC: The Mystery of Divine Identity (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 23 November 2018)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Genesis 25:23-27

MEMORY VERSE: “From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.” – Galatians 6:17

The MESSAGE:

Divine identity is the mark that differentiates an individual from others. It is what you see in a person that may not be in the other person. It is divine when it is from God. It is the mark of God on you that makes you different from others. No wonder, the Memory Verse (Galatians 6:17) describes it as the mark of our Lord Jesus Christ. One important thing to note is that every one of us God created has a divine identity, and it has the power to give us all we need in life.

Abraham was singled out of his father’s house even though he was not the first-born. David was singled out even though he was the youngest and the one that was always looking after the family’s livestock. The special mark of divine identity on David, which no one could share with him, was defeating Goliath contrary to all expectations. There are no two people with the same identification. No two people could have qualified to be on the throne with David at the same time.

Your divine identity is your key to open your doors of opportunities. It is the hammer you need to break through, the symbol of your identity, the carrier of your star, your personality. With the mark, you become a terror to the enemies in your environment, it is your divine identity that gives you recognition where nobody seems to notice you; it is the mark that will make you rule over where you seem to be rejected.

Beloved, it is important to note here that divine identity cannot work for you if you are in a wrong place, and that it can remain unnoticed, unused and can be lost or stolen. Jacob and Esau were twin brothers. They came out from the same womb almost at the same time, but God Himself told Rebekah that two nations and two manner of people were in her womb before they were even born. It means that the two of them carried different identities and from the day Jacob stole from Esau, his life never remained the same until God in the form of an angel visited him. Divine identity can therefore, be manipulated and destroyed by the devil. Do not compare yourself to other people because each individual carries a specific identity.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
IF THERE IS ANYTHING IN YOU THAT IS CALLING YOU TO GREATER HEIGHT, KNOW FOR SURE THAT THE POWER OF GOD HAS MARKED YOU.

PROPHETIC WORD:
Every rage of the enemy against you because of what you carry shall catch fire.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING
1. If my divine identity has been neglected, stolen or destroyed, O Lord my Father, visit me by fire, in Jesus’ name.
2. Powers that are using my identity to survive, die, in the name of Jesus.
3. Any one representing me in my place of blessing and breakthrough, and causing hardship for me, die, in Jesus’ name.

EVENING
4. My divine identity, arise, come out from bondage and work for me by fire, in Jesus’ name.
5. Anything the Lord has deposited in me to take me to the top, which is passive now, receive the fire of the Holy Ghost and become active, in Jesus’ name.
6. O Lord, if my location is affecting my identity negatively, arise and take me to my place of honour, in Jesus’ name.
7. My Father, today, take my David to the palace, in the name of Jesus.
