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
Analyze Romans 12:1-2 above on the solution to dealing with negative foundational attitude.

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...

POTTERS TOUCH DEVOTIONAL. SATURDAY, 16TH DECEMBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION. WRONG PRAISES!

POTTERS TOUCH DEVOTIONAL. SATURDAY, 16TH DECEMBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION. WRONG PRAISES! TODAY'S SCRIPTURE ."The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican." (Luke 18:11 KJV). There are good ways to praise God and also wrong ways of doing it. Indeed high praises open doors before God but the man in the verse above praised God and his door was closed. Why? Because he did it in a wrong way. Never praise God in an attempt to intimidate and condemn others. Do not ever engage in praise and thanksgiving to show you are better than people around you. High praises ought to be with a deep sense of humility to God i.e it is by grace and not by your own effort. When your praises makes people get offended at God as if God is partial it is wrong. This is common with testimonies during thanksgiving, some believers make it look as if others are not serving God enough. ...
