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.

SUNDAY, 17TH  SEPTEMBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION.RAIN OF IDEAS FOR PROSPERITY PART 2.

SUNDAY, 17TH  SEPTEMBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION.RAIN OF IDEAS FOR PROSPERITY PART 2. TODAY'S SCRIPTURE. "Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:" (Joel 2:23, 28 KJV). The Bible records that Abraham became very rich in cattle,silver and gold. But how did he become outstanding and outshine other bussinessmen? Through the rain of divine ideas by the Holy Ghost which came in response to his giving. Abraham dug wells for his cattle instead of them going about. By divine inspiration he knew what to do to get fatter and fresher cattle and sheep. Isaac also got the secret of irrigation by the re...

21ST MARCH,2018. TODAYS DEVOTION.MERCY IN CONFLICTS.

21ST MARCH,2018. TODAYS DEVOTION.MERCY IN CONFLICTS. TODAY’S SCRIPTURE."I beg you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to stop arguing among yourselves. Let there be real harmony so that there won’t be splits in the church. I plead with you to be of one mind, united in thought and purpose." (1 Corinthians 1:10 LB) Stop trying to win arguments. Instead, make it your goal to love those who disagree with you. Go for the love, not the win. Jesus tells us love will always win; he guaranteed that when he walked out of the tomb. When you find yourself in an argument with other believers, use these biblical guidelines for getting along: Let mercy guide your response (Proverbs 3:3–6). In a conflict, most of us say we only want what’s fair, but God’s approach isn’t about being fair. It’s about grace and mercy (Romans 5:8). Let God’s Mercy determine the truth (2 Corinthians 13:8). The truth is not determined by your thoughts or feelings (1 John ...

POTTER'S TOUCH DEVOTIONAL FRIDAY 23RD MARCH,2018. TODAY’S DEVOTION: GOD’S MERCY AT WORK IN YOU.

POTTER'S TOUCH DEVOTIONAL FRIDAY 23RD MARCH,2018. TODAY’S DEVOTION: GOD’S MERCY AT WORK IN YOU. TODAY’S SCRIPTURE. “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.”  (Philippians 2:13 NLT) No matter what you’re going to face in this life, you’re not going to face it alone. God’s mercy is with you, he is in you, and he is for you. “God’s Mercy is working in you.” The word “working” in Greek is the word energos, from which we get the word “energy.” God’s mercy is the energy driver in your life. You’re not just going on willpower. You’re not just going on your own power. Mercy of God says he will give you the power you need, no matter what you’re facing.  Not only is he in you, he is with you. The Bible says, “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. On that day you will realize that I ...
