Topic: His Still Small Voice [Kenneth & Gloria Copeland 10 September 2018 Daily Devotional]

But the anointing which ye have received of [God] abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth. – 1 John 2:27

Have you ever noticed that you are sometimes aware of certain things even before you know what the Word says about them? That’s because the Holy Spirit is inside you teaching you the truth. He speaks into your spirit. Then your spirit relays His promptings to your mind. Suddenly, you’ll have a new thought. I need to forgive that person, you’ll think, or I need to stop saying those unkind things.

As you become more aware of the Spirit of God in your everyday affairs, you’ll be quicker to hear and obey those promptings. You’ll actually get in the habit of allowing the Spirit of Truth to reveal the will of God to you. And, believe me, that’s one habit God wants you to have!

One of the first things that the Spirit said to me when I began to listen to His promptings was, Spend more time in prayer. As I obeyed, I began to be impressed to spend at least one hour a day in prayer. After I’d begun to do that, He revealed it to me in His Word (Matthew 26:40).

Since then, I have talked with people from all over the world who are hearing the same thing. Believers everywhere are hearing the Spirit of God direct them to more prayer.

God hasn’t given the Holy Spirit to just a few special Christians. He’s given Him to all of us. And if we’ll just learn to be sensitive to His voice, He’ll guide us into all truth!

Think about how different your life would be if you knew the truth of God about every situation! Doesn’t that just make you want to listen to your spirit? Doesn’t it make you want to be on the keen edge of what God is saying?

Start tuning your ear to His still, small voice within you. Honor Him and welcome His guidance into your everyday affairs. Listen for His promptings and be quick to obey. He’s ready to speak to you.

Topic: At The Lord’s Time [DCLM Daily Manna 10 September 2018 Daily Devotional]

Text: John 11:1-11 (KJV)

Key Verse: “When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby” (John 11:14).

MESSAGE:

Have you ever wondered why the popular saying, “God’s time is the best” has stood the test of time? This is due to man’s inability to discern God’s timing. Concerning His timing, it is written: “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1). The word of God also assures that the Lord is on top of every matter that is time-bound.

Lazarus, a man whom Jesus loved, was sick. The Lord, upon hearing this, assured those who told Him that the “sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby”. It is important to note that if the sickness was not serious, Jesus would not have calmed those who brought the news. Despite Jesus’ love for Lazarus and his sisters, He did not hurry to arrest the situation. By the time He got to Judaea, sadly, Lazarus had already died.

This study teaches us some mysteries about the Lord Jesus. First, His love is so deep that He never forgets His beloved (John 14:18). Second, He may choose to attend to our desperate situations not when we demand or expect. He does all things in His time. Third, no matter the man-made obstacles on the way, Jesus will always have His way. Fourth, all things He does are done to glorify His name.

Jesus can come into our desperate situations, however seemingly hopeless, when we build a close relationship with Him through repentance and faith in His blood for cleansing from sin. If we are His, we should please Him. And we must trust His timing and perfect judgment.

Thought For The Day: He makes everything beautiful in His time.

Topic: How Faith Works [Seeds of Destiny 10 September 2018 Daily Devotional]

Scripture: For with God nothing shall be impossible. Luke 1:37

Thought For The Day: Someone’s testimony is another person’s prophecy.

It has been established that faith is an essential component of the Christian life. It is one thing to know that faith is very important in life and destiny, and it is another thing to know how faith works. The understanding of how faith works is critical to the release of faith in our Christian life. Therefore, it is very important to know how faith works.

Now, how does faith work?
1. By Celebrating Faith Confirmations
The celebration of faith confirmations involves giving testimonies of what God has done, and testimonies are faith builders. For example, when God sent an Angel to tell Mary of His plan for her to give birth to Jesus Christ, Mary responded by asking the angel, ‘How can this be seeing that I know not a man?’ (Luke 1:34). The Angel gave her a testimony of what God had already done in the life of Elizabeth; he told her that Elizabeth, her cousin who was called barren, was already six months pregnant with a child. (Luke 1:35-36). And that cleared her doubt (Luke 1:38).

Beloved, testimonies are faith boosters; whatever God does for one person is clue to what He would do for another person; testimonies have reproductive capacities. Someone’s testimony is another person’s prophecy.

2. By Maintaining Faith Associations
Association brings assimilation and affects conviction. Who you walk with determines what you can believe; company affects mind-set. People who hang together think alike, the right conviction can be destroyed by the wrong association.

My counsel is, combine faith confirmations with faith associations and you will see the production of active faith in your life.

Remember this: Someone’s testimony is another person’s prophecy.

Assignments:
1. Make up your mind to share/give testimonies of God’s acts of faithfulness in your life or in the lives of other people.
2. Relate with people of solid faith and conviction.

Prayer: O Lord, I ask for the grace to relate the testimonies of Your Acts of goodness in my life to other people. Connect me to people of solid faith and conviction, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Topic: Our Words Are Alive [Andrew Wommack 10 September 2018 Daily Devotional]

Mark 11:14 “And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.”

Notice that this verse says that Jesus “answered” this fig tree. The tree had not spoken to Him verbally but it communicated that it had figs by the leaves on it. It is a fact that a fig tree should have figs by the time the leaves are evident. A fig tree actually produces green figs before the leaves appear and if no figs are produced by that time, then the tree will not have any figs that year. This fig tree was professing something that it didn’t have even though it was still too early for figs.

Not only plants, but other things can communicate with us too. Circumstances can tell you that you have failed. Your body can tell you that your prayer didn’t work – the Lord didn’t heal you, etc. You need to follow Jesus’ example and answer these things with a positive statement of your faith.

What good could it do to talk to a tree or an inanimate object? God created the heavens, the earth, and everything that is in the earth, by His words (Heb. 11:3). The whole creation was made by and responds to words. Our words, when spoken in faith, release either life or death (Prov. 18:21). They also affect people, things, and circumstances. We can release the power that is in faith by our words.

Speaking God’s Word in faith brings the Holy Spirit into action. In Luke 4, when Jesus was tempted of the devil for forty days, it was the Word of God that Jesus used to defeat the enemy at His temptation. We must take advantage of God’s Word by placing it in our hearts so that the Holy Spirit may bring it forth at the appropriate time to accomplish a complete and total victory.

Speak to that mountain in your life.

Topic: Dream Great Dreams [Billy Graham Daily Devotional 10 September 2018]

Be thou faithful unto death . . . — Revelation 2:10

In our day much of the world believes little or nothing. People are broad but shallow. Agnosticism, anxiety, emptiness, meaninglessness, have gripped much of the world—and even the church. Our youth are desperately searching for a purpose and a meaning in their lives. They are searching for fulfillment which they are not finding in sex and drugs. By contrast, our Pilgrim forebears stand as shining examples of men who were narrow but deep, certain of what they believed, unswerving in their loyalty, and passionately dedicated to the God they trusted, and for whom they would willingly have died. I say to you, more than 350 years after the Pilgrim Fathers landed in the New World: Dream great dreams, embrace great principles, renew your hope, but above all, like them, believe in the Christ who alone can give total meaning and an ultimate goal to your life. “For in Him we live and move and have our being.”

Prayer for the day: May I always be faithful to my belief in You, Lord Jesus Christ. Where there is despair, use me to bring Your hope.

Open Heavens 10 September 2018 Monday Daily Devotional by Pastor E A Adeboye – God wants your Input

Topic: God wants your Input

Memorise: “And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:”– Deuteronomy 28:1

Read: Exodus 4:1-7 (KJV)

1 And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee.

2 And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.

3 And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.

4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:

5 That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.

6 And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.

7 And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.

Bible in One Year: Proverbs 1-4, Mark 5:25-6:6

Open Heavens 10 September 2018 Monday MESSAGE:

Many people see God as a magician: they want to just sit back and watch Him perform tricks to fascinate them. God does not work this way! He does not give miracles to onlookers. Those who experience His miracles normally have to make some form of input. When God was going to use Moses to perform miracles, Moses had to surrender his rod for God’s use. When He was going to feed the five thousand men, He asked for an input, and one of those to be feed brought five loaves of bread with two fishes. He could have turned stones into bread but He chose to use something given by one of the recipients of His miracle. Your tithe is the input you make for the devourer to be rebuked in your life (Malachi 3:10-11). Willingness and obedience is required from you so that you may eat of the good of the land you find yourself in (Isaiah 1:19). Humility is your input in order to receive God’s grace (James 4:6). Don’t listen to fake prophets who tell you that they can pray and fast on your behalf while you carry on doing whatever you like; they are nothing but thieves because God doesn’t operate that way.

I have come to discover in my walk with God that whenever there is a miracle around the corner, God ask me for an input. After I have played my part, He will then play His. Years ago, I had a Pajero SUV that I loved so much because it never gave me any issues. One day, while asking God for miracles, I heard Him instruct me to give my Pajero away to a particular ministry. It was difficult for me, but I eventually did it. The car was so valuable that the day the new owner came for it, my driver wept. However, during the next service we had after I did this, the number of people that God healed was so great that they could not be counted. There was one time I almost lost a miracle because I was reluctant to provide my input. In the past, we used to receive contributions from the different parishes of our church towards the feeding of those attending our annual convention. One year, just after the convention, God spoke to me, instructing me to tell the pastors that for the next year’s convention, we would not be calling for contributions. When I heard this, I was afraid. Many things rushed through my mind, and I asked myself, “How will the people be fed? I cannot afford to feed that great crowd alone!” I decided not to tell the pastors what the Lord had said, but God said to me, “You are about to lose a miracle.” I obeyed and told them. To the glory of God, we have been feeding people at the convention for over 30 years without those levies. God has never failed us, and even through the crowd has grown into multitudes, everyone still gets fed and there are leftovers. When God ask you for something, don’t withhold it, or else you may be hindering your miracle.

Open Heavens 10 September 2018 Monday Key Point:

When God decides to bless you, he opens doors to you, but you have to walk through these doors yourself.

Open Heavens 10 September 2018 Monday Hymn 4: Trust And Obey

1. When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

Chorus
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.

2. Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear,
Not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

3. Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss,
Not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.

4. But we never can prove
The delights of His love
Until all on the alter we lay;
For the favor He shows,
For the joy He bestows,
Are from them who will trust and obey.

5. Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do,
Where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.
