TODAY'S DEVOTION.QUALITY QUIET TIME.

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” (Psalm 139:23-24 NIV)

A daily quality quiet time is necessary for spiritual growth, but the question is how do you achieve it? You may be motivated to do it but don’t know how. A wise man said, “If you aim at nothing, you are sure to hit it!” To have a meaningful and quality quiet time, you will need a plan or get a kind of general outline to follow. 

The main rule is to keep your plan simple.Thereafter, follow these three simple steps: Relax, request and read.
1. Wait on God (relax). Be still for a minute; don’t come running into God’s presence and start talking immediately. Follow God’s admonition: “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10a NIV). Be quiet in worship for a short time to put yourself in a reverent mood. 

2. Pray briefly (request). This is not your prayer time, but a short opening prayer to ask God to cleanse your heart and guide you as you study the word. You need to be in tune with the Author before you can understand His Book! Two good passages of Scripture to memorize are Psalm 139:23-24 and Psalm 119:18.

3. Read a section of Scripture (read). This is where your conversation with God begins. He speaks to you through His Word and you speak with Him in prayer. Read your Bible with the help of daily devotionals like this.

TODAY'S INSTRUCTION .
Imbibe the habit of a quality personal quiet time daily for your spiritual growth.

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. ...
