ARE YOU A GOD-SEEKER?

Title: Are you a God-seeker?
Scripture: Songs of Solomon 3:1-4, NLT

"One night as I lay in bed, I yearned for my lover. I yearned for him, but he did not come. So I said to myself, I will get up and roam the city, searching in all its streets and squares. I will search for the one I love. So I searched everywhere but did not find him. The watchmen stopped me as they made their rounds and I asked, 'Have you seen the one I love?' Then scarcely had I left them when I found my love! I caught and held him tightly, then brought him to my mother's house..."

One charge David gave to Solomon was that, "if thou seek Him, He will be found of thee."(1 Chro. 28:9) "...but they that SEEK the Lord shall not lack any good thing."(Ps. 34:10) And God says: "I love those who love me; and those who SEEK ME EARLY shall find me."(Prov. 8:17) What and Who are you seeking after? Sometimes all you need to do is to get up from your comfort zone and search for the one you love. "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God..." Is Jesus the lover of your soul? AB@TWDevotional

STAY IN THE HOUSE!

Title: Stay in the house

Scripture: Luke 15:11-13, NLT

 "Jesus told them this story: A man had two sons. The younger son told his father, I want MY SHARE of your estate NOW before you die...A few days later this son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money in wild living."

The problem with the younger son wasn't that he needed money. In fact his father had more than enough to even cater for their servants. The son lacked two things: VISION and KNOWLEDGE. In his own mind he perceived it would be better to get his inheritance now that the father was alive. He thought the father may die soon. If not why would he ask for his share of the property? 

"Where there is no vision, the people perish." "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." What the enemy seeks to do is to trouble you and make you restless. You may become so frustrated that you go to your father and ask for your inheritance. But never fall for his tricks. Don't be pressured. Stay in the house! AB@TWDevotional

BUT I DIDN'T MEAN IT?

Title: But I didn't mean it?

Scripture: Numbers 14:28, NLT

"Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, How long must I put up with this wicked community and its complaints about me? Yes, I have heard the complaints the Israelites are making against me. Now tell them this: AS SURELY AS I LIVE, DECLARES THE LORD, I WILL DO TO YOU THE VERY THINGS I HEARD YOU SAY."

 Have you carefully considered some of the things you say? What we sometimes say is, "but even God knows I'm kidding with this one..." And who said God wants you to kid with him? Your tongue carries so much power, and before you know it you may have destroyed a lot of things with it, before God comes in. 

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue.." People just say anything, murmur and complain about almost everything. The accuser of the brethren picks those negative words and uses them against you. If God is saying, He would do whatever He hears you saying, why don't you say good things into His ears instead? God takes you serious so stop kidding with him! AB@TWDevotional

ITS A SET UP!

Topic: Its a set up!

Scripture: Ezekiel 17:24, NLT

"And all trees will know that it is I, the Lord, who cuts the tall tree down and makes the short tree grow tall. It is I who makes the green tree wither and gives the dead tree new life. I, the Lord have spoken, and I will do what I said."

Some people may have had advantage over you due to their abilities or their connections. They might have gone ahead of you in life and so see you as good for nothing. But God is assuring you of what He has already done and not what He is yet to do. He says "all trees will know...". It means what He has set Himself to do for you will be too obvious to be overlooked. You shall get attention due to your testimony. 

There is an upliftment right infront of you and God is bringing life into every dead situation in your career, marriage, relationship, ministry and family. He will cut down any stubborn tree around you to make room for your growth and expansion. God is setting you up to lift you up. You shall grow and multiply. I believe! AB@TWDevotional

MORE FIRE?

MORE FIRE?

"From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can snatch anyone out of my hand. No one can undo what I have done." (Isa. 43:13,NLT) 

Once we are under God's constant watch, nothing shall go wrong. Read 

Daniel 3:20;22;24:

Then the king ordered some of the STRONGEST MEN of his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and throw them into the BLAZING FURNACE. The king in his anger had asked that the fire be heated seven times more. The soldiers(the strongest men) who were asked to throw the three Hebrew friends(who were seen as so weak) into the fire were killed by the heat before they even got there. But SUDDENLY, Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in amazement and exclaimed to his advisers, Didn't we tie up three men and throw them in the furnace? Yes your majesty, we certainly did, they replied." 

He could see a fourth person in the fire. People will be wondering why you haven't been burnt in the furnace of your afflictions and you shall tell them "My God is a consuming fire, and He is here with me." AB@TWDevotional

YOU CAN'T IMPRESS GOD!

YOU CAN'T IMPRESS GOD!

 "...Martha Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."(Luke 10:41-42) 

Some people go to church, and instead of focusing on Jesus, they try to make an impression. Our prime objective these days is shifting from fellowship with one another and developing an intimate relationship with our Lord to engaging in some "unnecessary" activities. People now compare the one who sings or plays some musical instrument better than the other. Or the one with the best dress or hairstyle. 

Therefore ministering unto Jesus has become secondary as far as they are concerned. That was exactly what Martha was doing when Jesus visited their house. She wanted to IMPRESS Jesus with her cooking skills, instead of making time to be with Him. Mary on the other hand, sat right at the feet of Jesus and did the needful by receiving from Him. Never try to impress God. Just do the needful! AB@TWDevotional

THERE IS SURELY A WAY OUT!

THERE IS SURELY A WAY OUT!

 "The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And GOD IS FAITHFUL. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure."(1 Cor. 10:13, NLT) 

There is clearly no challenge that is beyond you. If there is, God wouldn't allow it to come your way. Don't think God is not aware of your predicaments. He knows the exact situation you are in right now. But He is also fully aware of your capacity as a winner because He put your members together and knows the very things you can handle. The Bible says "And God is faithful..." Therefore He can't say one thing and do the other.

 And He is telling you today, there is a way out. What you are going through might be tough, but there is still an even more greater potential inside you, that can combat it. There is always a way out! AB@TWDevotional

WHAT A SHOCK!

WHAT A SHOCK! 

"Thus saith the Lord God; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high. I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him."(Ez. 21:26-27,KJV).

I can sense a lifting for many people in this season. God is about promoting you into certain positions, to make way for you to have your inheritance. "But upon Mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions."(Oba. 1:17) The season of your many struggling is over. You shall weep no more. 

Hear ye the word of the Lord to you today: "The houses will be richly stocked with goods you did not produce. You will draw from cisterns you did not dig, and you will eat from vineyards and olives trees you did not plant.(Deut. 6:11) People would just love to be good to you. What God is about to do for you, will put you in a state of shock. AB@TWDevotional

YOU ARE JUST ONE DECISION AWAY!

Title: You are just one decision away!

Scripture: Joshua 2:1-5

 "...So the two men set out and came to the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there that night. But someone told the king of Jericho, "Some Israelites have come here tonight to spy out the land. So the king of Jericho sent orders to Rahab: Bring out the men...Rahab had hidden the two men, but she replied, Yes the men were here earlier, but I didn't know where they were from. They left the town at dusk, as the gates were about to close. I don't know where they went."

Just one decision we make in life, can change our whole destiny. You certainly have the power of choice to make a whole difference in your life. Many of us may have written Rahab off because she was a harlot. But Rahab showed the good heart she had, by saving the lives of the spies even to her own hurt. Because of that decision, God spared her and her whole family from destruction. Rahab is later mentioned as part of the genealogy of Jesus. What decision are you also making? AB@TWDevotional

EAT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!

Title: Eat as much as you can
Scripture: 1 Kings 19:7-8

"Then the angel of the Lord came again and touched him and said, Get up and eat some more, or the journey ahead will be too much for you. So he got up and ate and drank, and the food gave him enough strength to travel forty days and forty nights to Mount Sinai, the mountain of God."

The new level God is taking you demands that you have enough strength. And talking about strength, we are not only implying the strength that comes from the intake of some physical meal. "...It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY WORD that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." (Matt. 4:4) The food for the spirit is the WORD OF GOD. Your spirit must be healthy to sustain your body.

To start any journey without God's word, could be detrimental. Therefore there is the need to "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;" (Col 3:16). Make sure you are full of it. For you would surely need it where you are headed. Eat more to gain strength! AB@TWDevotional

ARE YOU SUFFERING FROM AN EGYPT-MENTALITY?

Title: Are you suffering from an Egypt-mentality?

Scripture: Numbers 13:33

"And there we saw the giants...and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."

I am not so much afraid of what others may think of me as much as what I think of myself. I can easily be paralyzed by the thoughts I hold inside more than what is from outside. "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he." You can't think you are poor and become rich. It's an Egypt-mentality! The root cause of many of the problems we see around is in the MIND! The slave mentality has dominated many so much that, they always think defeat is inevitable as far as they are concerned.

 Life always seems unconquerable to a slave, therefore don't become a slave. An Egypt-Mentality is seen in the way we see ourselves, how we view and react to challenges, and how we deal with discouragements. But Christ has set us free and no more are we slaves to sin. We are more than conquerors. Every mindset trying to enslave you is destroyed! Be released! AB@TWDevotional

YOU HAVE NO CLUE!

YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE! 

1 Corinthians 2:9 "However, as it is written: No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"(NIV). "That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him."(NLT). 

The things that God has planned, prepared and designed to do for those who love him, eyes haven't seen, ears have heard, neither has anyone thought of it. Therefore what you may be SEEING is just temporal and cannot be compared to the glory that shall be revealed in you. What you may be HEARING is not a great testimony enough to make people stop and ask, who is this person? What may be in your heart is not big enough to scare you to do things which others may think its impossible. 

God has a lot for you, but there is a condition: You must Love the Lord. You have no idea of what God is about to do for you. Don't pretend you know, because you have no clue! AB@TWDevotional

WHAT CHOICE WOULD YOU MAKE?

Title: What choice would you make?

Scripture: Deuteronomy 30:19

"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live."

Whatever choices we make here on earth; be it good or bad affect not only us but the generations yet unborn, either positively or otherwise. One thing God has left in our control is our freedom to choose. And unless we invite Him in, God won't interrupt. And He is always ready to validate whatever choices we make. God always gives man the opportunity to choose, but makes sure to suggest to us the right way to go. He never push things down our throat. 

The power to live or to die has been planted on your tongue. "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."(Prov. 18:21) What you say is what you become, so choose your words carefully. By the things you say, you either live or die. The choice is yours! Innocentia@TWDevotional
