Topic: Four Principles for Successful Daily Living [Joyce Meyer’s Devotional Sunday June 10, 2018]

Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. — Philippians 2:4

I enjoy just reading over this passage and soaking up the power from its principles for successful daily living. It gives four specific principles for those who want to enjoy life:

1. Keep your tongue free from evil. God’s Word states clearly, the power of life and death is in the mouth. We can bring blessing or misery into our lives with our words. When we speak rashly we often get into arguments, so choose your words carefully.

2. Turn away from wickedness. We must take action to remove ourselves from wickedness or from a wicked environment. The action we must take could mean altering our friendships; it could even mean loneliness for a period of time. But you can always trust God to be with you.

3. Do right. The decision to do right must follow the decision to stop doing wrong. Both are definite choices. Repentance is twofold; it requires turning away from sin and turning to righteousness.

4. Search for peace. Notice that we must search for it, pursue it, and go after it. We cannot merely desire peace without any accompanying action, but instead we must desire peace with action. We need to search for peace in our relationship with God and with others.

When I started living by these principles, not only did my relationships improve, but so did my health, my attitude, and all areas of my life. The same will be true for you.

Prayer Starter: Father, Your Word has all of the answers for a great life. Help me to put Your principles into practice, today and every day. I can’t do it alone—I can only do it through Your strength. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Topic: The God Of Miracles

Our God is a God of miracles; He is the one and only miracle working God. He will give you a new miracle today in the name of Jesus! Whatever is a reproach in your life will drop off today because the God of miracle will meet you at that point of your need in the name of Jesus!

Psalm 72:18 -Thank the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone does miracles. {GW}

Let no one deceive you that the days of miracles are over. If you think it is over, it is like saying that God no longer exists; it is like saying that the Bible is no longer the Word of God but that is not true because He is the Lord that changes not. If He did miracles yesterday, He will still do miracles today and tomorrow.

Mal.3:6a – For I am the Lord, I change not;

Heb.13:8 -Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.

God is not a magician but a miracle worker. Magic is satanic and deceptive but miracles are the acts of God; they are beyond human reasoning. Miracles are spiritual forces dominating human and physical forces. They are the deliberate acts of God provoked by the desperate faith of men.

If there is no miracle, how can you explain a 90year old woman giving birth to a living child without any scientific aid? How do you explain a 4day old buried corpse coming back to life without any damaged part of his body? How do you explain 5loaves and 2fishes feeding 5000 men; not counting women and children and still there were leftovers? There is no scientific means to explain those acts and God has not stopped doing miracles.

Jer.32:27 – Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?

From the above scripture, I know God will make that impossible situation in your life to become possible in the name of Jesus! The kingdom of God is the kingdom of miracles. The entire creation is of miracles and the church of Jesus began with miracles.

Miracles are encompassing; they are not limited to healing alone. Miracle is simply God intervening in the affairs of man; it can happen in any sphere of life. When God steps into a situation, a miracle is born no matter the situation. Everything about Jesus from birth to ascension is miracle. When you take away miracle from Christianity, it will become mere religion.

Acts 2:22 -Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

When Jesus was on earth, He performed all manner of miracles: gave food to the hungry, delivered the oppressed, healed the sick, raised the dead, etc. today, He has commissioned you to go after that kind.

John 20:21 -Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

Jesus expressed so much confidence on the believers so that we will continue in the work He did.

John 14:12 -Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Mark 16:17-18 -And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

This means that you are not supposed to be running after sings as a believer; signs are meant to run after you. You are meant to be living a life of miracles; a commander of miracles signs and wonders.

If you must be a commander of signs and wonders, there is a tool you must not ignore – THE WORD OF GOD.

God’s word is an indispensable force in the working of miracles. The miracle of creation came by the instrumentality of the word of God.

Heb.11:3 – Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

It was God’s word that created everything on earth and that word will create new things in your life today in the name of Jesus! The word of God is the master key for every sign you want to experience in life.

The degree of miracles you will enjoy is determined by how you are able to apply God’s word because with it, you become a performer and a partaker of the miracles of God; nobody has the word of God and lacks miracles.

God’s word is powerful because God’s word is God Himself. Every virtue inside God resides in His word; so, whatever God can do, His word can do same too. God’s word is powerful because it carries eternal life; it imparts supernatural life into a mortal body. God’s word has power to revitalize any part of your body.

John 1:14 – 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.

The word of God took human form from the above scripture. This means it has the ability to recreate any organ in your body. That is why I know that any organ that is missing or damaged in your body will be replaced this hour in the name of Jesus!

Psalm 119:50 – This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.

In case you are passing through any trouble of life, I stand on the integrity of God’s work and declare that life is coming to change that situation in the name of Jesus!

Luke 5:5 -And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

God’s word has the ability to stop suffering and toiling. It has creative ability; the moment the word of God went forth, fishes began to come out from the same water that Peter could not catch fish all through the night. I announce to you that frustration ends today! Toiling ends today! Begging ends today! The word of God is turning your toiling into abundance in the name of Jesus!

Until you are in touch with the Word, you cannot be in touch with signs and wonders. Therefore, go for the word of God. You don’t need to look for miracles; you work them out through the Word of God. When you have Word conception, you deliver miracles. As you settle with the Word of God from today, begin to enjoy the miraculous acts of God in your life in the name of Jesus – Amen!!!

God bless you

Topic: You Have Seen Well [TREM Devotional Sunday June 10, 2018]

“Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.” – Jeremiah 1:12

What we see is very important. Like I mentioned two days ago, the eye is a gate to your mind. What you see has the ability to determine what you get.

Stop for a moment and ask yourself: what are you seeing? The world we live in is so primed for evil that many times, the negatives flood our minds and form the picture in your heart. But you must consciously dethrone it and paint the picture you desire. Like the popular saying: what you see is what you get.

What are you seeing? The writer of Hebrews enjoins us to look unto Jesus; “looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.” (Heb. 12:2). When your eyes are fixed on Jesus, what do you see? You see all that He died for – you see your body healed by His stripes, you see your needs met from His abundance. You see all that He has made available to you.

2 Corinthians 4:18 also says “while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” God intends for us to fix our eyes on Jesus, and not on our circumstances. Situations are subject to change, but the Word of God stands forever. If you would observe the natural, situations have changed over time. For instance, if you wanted to read a book before now, you had to drive to a bookshop to find the book and purchase it. But now, at the click of a button, you can have the book on your device. Things have indeed changed, but one thing that has remained constant over time is the Word of God. It is still as powerful and as strong as it was centuries ago. So, fix your eyes on the Word of God and the Word will produce for you.
