THURSDAY, 10TH AUGUST 2017.

TODAY'S DEVOTION. FOUNDATIONAL ATTITUDE!

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE.“I spoke to you in your [times of] prosperity, but you said, I will not listen! This has been your attitude from your youth; you have not obeyed My voice.” ‭‭(Jeremiah‬ ‭22:21‬ ‭AMPC‬‬)

Foundation is a very powerful thing in life! Even the Bible in Psalm 11:3 says if the foundation be destroyed what can the righteous do? There are some negative attitudes that have become part and parcel of our life that require reformation. In our opening scripture God said, "...This has been your attitude from your youth..."  What negative attitude have you had from when you were young that you need to drop? What bad behaviors have you noticed that have become generational?

Negative attitude is contagious and unintentionally hereditary. If you grow up in a house where every one at the slightest provocation fights or quarrels, you are likely to always fight the people in your life. If you were raised in a family where the father physically abuses the wife and the woman insults the husband openly you need to work on your attitude.

Examine yourself by finding out what wrong behavioral traits you got from your foundation and believe God for a change.
If you are quick tempered or arrogant, look back and you may find someone who has it in your foundation. Being born again is dynamic because it disconnects you from the natural birth to a spiritual birth. All your inherited  bad attitudes have to be renewed.

The Bible says. “So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life your sleeping, eating, going to work, and walking around life and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well formed maturity in you.”(‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:1-2‬ ‭MSG‬‬)

TODAYS DISCUSSION

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 ...

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...

SUNDAY, 19TH NOVEMBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION.OVERFLOW IN GREATNESS.

SUNDAY, 19TH NOVEMBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION.OVERFLOW IN GREATNESS. TODAY'S SCRIPTURE. The man got richer and richer by the day until he was very wealthy. (Genesis 26:13.MSG) The Message Bible translation of our opening scripture uses the phrase "very wealthy"! That means greatness is synonymous with overflowing wealth. As the seed of Abraham, you can never be small or be a failure in life. Poverty and sickness are not supposed to be a part of your life. Isaac experienced an overflow of greatness and walked in super abundant overflow.  He experienced blessings in a period of severe famine  because he was Abraham's seed."Then Isaac sowed seed in that land and received in the same year a hundred times as much as he had planted, and the Lord favored him with blessings. And the man became great and gained more and more until he became very wealthy and distinguished;" (Genesis 26:12, 13 AMP). It will work for you just like it worked for your Father Abrah...
