TUESDAY, 9TH MAY 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION.DEVELOP YOUR FAITH IN GOD PART 1

TUESDAY, 9TH MAY 2017.
TODAY'S DEVOTION.DEVELOP YOUR FAITH IN GOD PART 1
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God" (Romans 10:17).
We have learnt how important faith is in our Christian walk and the fact that we all have a measure of faith. However, some believers despair thinking they do not have faith. Faith can grow and develop. If you are not full of faith today, that does not mean you will be that way all your life. You can choose to be a person of faith! Below are some keys to developing your faith.
First, listen to the Word of God as much as possible. Constant attention to the Word of God produces faith, especially if we attend to it with an open heart and mind. The book of Proverbs encourages us to constantly keep the Word in our hearts and give our attention to it (Proverbs 4:20-22). What we listen to affects what we believe. If we listen to the television, friends, etc more than the Word, we will believe the lies of the world more than we will believe what God says. Whatever you listen to constantly affects your thoughts and belief system.
Constant attention to lies produces deception. The mind will eventually accept something if it is heard often and persuasively enough. Hence the need to continue hearing the Word of God, through regular attendance of services, Christian tapes, books,confession of the Word, daily fellowship with godly Christians etc. This will cause us to believe the truth from our hearts.
Secondly, put your faith to action. Every believer has been given a measure of faith by God. “...as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith (Romans 12:3NKJV)
We must develop that which God has given us by putting our faith in action. This can be done by exercising faith in spite of contradictory circumstances. Speak the word continually to your situation.
Today’s Response
Listen to God’s word more and put your faith into action.

POTTER'S TOUCH DEVOTIONAL TUESDAY 10TH APRIL, 2018. TODAY’S DEVOTION: BLOOD OF RESTORATION. PT 2.

POTTER'S TOUCH DEVOTIONAL TUESDAY 10TH APRIL, 2018. TODAY’S DEVOTION: BLOOD OF RESTORATION. PT 2. TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?" (1 Corinthians 10:16 KJV). Every communion table is a kind of renewing the covenant of restoration. Nothing can be more exciting to know that like a meal I can eat and drink blessing of restoration. Look at how Jesus put it Himself," Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him." (John 6:53-56 KJV).  So except you keep eating the body and drink...

POTTERS TOUCH DEVOTIONAL. SATURDAY, 21ST OCTOBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION.TO LIVE A QUALITY LIFE, STOP WORRYING PART 2.

POTTERS TOUCH DEVOTIONAL. SATURDAY, 21ST OCTOBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION.TO LIVE A QUALITY LIFE, STOP WORRYING PART 2. TODAY'S SCRIPTURE. "Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” (1 Peter 5:7 NLT, second edition) We established in yesterday's devotion that it takes more than willpower to stop worrying and that it takes four things to stop worrying. Firstly , get to know God first and secondly put God first in every area of your life.We will be looking at the other two today. 3.Live one day at a time. The Bible says, “So don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will have its own worries. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34 NCV). If you’re worrying about tomorrow, you can’t enjoy today. You will miss today’s blessings. It’s okay to plan for tomorrow, but you have to live for today. When you’re always worried about tomorrow, the future gets overwhelming. But God will give you the grace...

MONDAY, 11TH SEPTEMBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION.CRITICISM AND PROSPERITY.

MONDAY, 11TH SEPTEMBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION.CRITICISM AND PROSPERITY. TODAY'S SCRIPTURE."Start with God. The first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning” (Proverbs 1:7 MSG). Have you noticed that once you establish a goal in your life, you start hearing people say, “Who do you think you are, you think you have money?” or “It can’t be done just like that, how can one just prosper in these hard times?” or “Forget about it, they are all thieves! Etc The antidote to the voices of doubt is listening to the voice of God. Just imagine all the critics that were in Noah’s life. “That guy Noah thinks God speaks to him, but he’s just messing up the master plan of our city by building that ark in his front yard.” The Bible tells us that Noah listened to God. What did he hear? He heard God’s warning that the world was going to be destroyed. He belie...
