SUNDAY, 6TH AUGUST 2017.

TODAY'S DEVOTION.CRUEL  ATTITUDE. 

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE.“Bless those who persecute you [who are cruel in their attitude toward you]; bless and do not curse them.” (‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:14‬ ‭AMPC‬‬)

To be cruel in your attitude means, "willfully causing pain or suffering to others and feeling no remorse about it." There are many cruel believers  in our society, who willfully cause pain to the people God brings into their lives as neighbours,friends, colleagues,bosses, subordinates,clients,customers and family.

The hallmark of a cruel attitude is that the acts of cruelty are done without any feeling of care and remorse. As a result it can be seen as wickedness. Can you imagine the attitude of buying things without the intention of paying for such items and when the creditor asks you act unconcerned,stop picking their calls and lack the courtesy of returning the call to explain.

Another example of a cruel attitude is when you borrow a car and you drain the fuel tank,bash the car or return it dirty.  Furthermore, when you get help from people and you fail to thank them in return or show appreciation you are exhibiting a cruel attitude.

Jesus'  parable of ten lepers teaches us gratitude as a positive attitude. In other to  embrace a positive attitude, you must desist from every cruel attitude and be considerate with people feelings in all ramifications. Do unto others what you want them to do to you.

Our opening scripture tells us what to do if people are cruel to us.  Bless them and do not curse them. What a beautiful and godly life that you can prove the cruel people wrong by using good to conquer evil.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION.
Identify some cruel attitudes that require, "a fresh mental, spiritual and positive attitude" in our society.

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...
