TODAY’S DEVOTION. CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT PRAISES!

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE. "Where is He Who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the east at its rising and have come to worship Him." (Matthew 2:2 AMP).

The birth of the Lord Jesus Christ is a unique event in world history! Apart from His earthly parents, the first set of people who knew about His birth were not mere men but 'wise men'. Wisdom made them prophetic in their approach to Christmas. The first wisdom they received was seeing 'the star'. You cannot see the star when you look down i.e their eyes were lifted up. The difference between wisdom and foolishness is focus. They looked in the right direction and became wise. 

In order to maximise Christmas you must look at the star ahead of you, not the scar behind you. Your praise and worship will be determined by your seeing the star in the sky. That star that welcomed Jesus' birth has not left. It is still in the sky. The Bible says,
"Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed-that exhilarating finish in and with God-he could put up with anything along the way: cross, shame, whatever. And now he's there, in the place of honor, right alongside God." (Hebrews 12:2 MSG)

What the wise men saw was the 'rising star' but what we have now is the day star. The more you look at Jesus, the day star in you will begin to shine brighter and brighter. Whatever you focus on becomes your strongest point of worship. Indeed Jesus is the reason for the season. As you worship and praise Him He will make you a shining star in your generation.

The best thing to do at Christmas is worship and praise Him with all your heart, in spirit and in truth. Like the wise men, give Him gifts of worship! "They entered the house and saw the child in the arms of Mary, his mother. Overcome, they kneeled and worshiped him. Then they opened their luggage and presented gifts: gold, frankincense, myrrh." (Matthew 2:11 MSG). 

Go to the house of God today and kneel to the King in worship. Present yourself as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto Him which is your reasonable worship. In addition, open you heart and present gifts to the Lord Jesus just like the wise men. Make your Christmas offering special to God. Offer a sacrifice of praise that will cost you something. Giving bountifully is a form of worship and praise instrument that is acceptable to God, a sweet smelling fragrance to Him. The wise men gave Him their best even when their journey was impromptu. 

At Christmas do not appear before the Lord empty handed for the Lord loves a cheerful giver. Furthermore, prepare to give to your loved ones. Send gifts to your acquaintances, friends, family members, bosses, colleagues and neighbours. It is more blessed to give than to receive! 

TODAY'S RESPONSE
Appreciate your staff, employers, pastors, parents, customers and as many as you can at Christmas. It is the wise thing to done.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU WITH LOTS OF LOVE!

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...
