TODAY'S  DEVOTION. THE GARMENT OF PRAISE.

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:"To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified". (Isaiah 61:3 KJV)

Without the glorious 'garment of praise' you are exposed to the vices of life such as sickness,set-back,delay, disappointment, attacks, poverty, etc. God expects you to turn your mourning to dancing through the instrument of praise in Zion. With the Spirit of praise you are not permitted to mourn in Zion. When they say there is a casting down you shall say there is a lifting up. Whatever makes you mourn can be transformed to praise with the eyes of faith. One of my mentors said, 
"irrespective of whatever you lost, praise Him because you have not lost all."

Make a habit of turning your tears of pain to tears of joy. Praise turns your ashes to beauty no matter how bad they seem! Ash is the left over from a fire out break, they are memories of yesterday's pains and disappointments. Ashes are scars of terrible moments of our past that bring tears to our eyes when we remember them. Dark situations can be transformed to beauty with high praises. Nothing erases old memories faster than the restoration that comes from praising God. When by thanksgiving at the tomb of Lazarus the dead came back to life the ashes became beautiful. As you praise God this month He will give you beauty for ashes.

Praise brings the oil of joy for mourning. Joy is a product of meditation on the word of God."Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts". (Jeremiah 15:16 KJV) 

When you read, study and meditate on the word of God it means you are "eating" Gods word. As you begin to allow the ministry of the word of God proceed out of your mouth, it will bring the kind of anointing you need. When this is properly understood it will become your garment of praise. With high praise, you are covered with the glory of the Lord everyday.

Today's Prayer.
Lord, henceforth I vow to wear the garment of praise instead of the spirit of heaviness. Praise the Lord!

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...
