POTTERS TOUCH DEVOTIONAL.

TUESDAY, 26TH DECEMBER 2017.

TODAY’S DEVOTION. HIGH PRAISE IS FOCUSING ON GOD.

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE. "Focusing on self is the opposite of focusing on God. Anyone completely absorbed in self ignores God, ends up thinking more about self than God. That person ignores who God is and what he is doing. (Romans 8:7 MSG)

You cannot focus on yourself or the problems of life and be able to praise God effectively. Praise is a sign that your focus is on Him and Him alone. When God is your focus you will praise Him no matter what you are going through. Focus determines strength. 

Many of us waste our time and energy on unprofitable ventures and do not praise God enough. If God is your focus, you will praise Him with all your strength. The only reason why we fail to enter God's presence is because of our divided focus. Your focus is anything that takes your time, energy, finances and most of your attention. 
High praise becomes very easy when God is your focus. The scripture above says when you get completely absorbed in yourself you will ignore God, i.e you think more about yourself than God and you ignore Him and what He is doing. Praise is focusing on who God is and what He is doing in your life. If you can constantly remember who God is and what He is doing you will always praise Him. Why is focus so important?

First, focus determines mastery in life. Anything that has the ability to have your attention has become your master. Whatever is your master is your superior. If praise is your master, then you are on your way to greatness.

Secondly, focus determines your energy. Whatever you put your energy into brings out your best. Focusing on what is not working increases weakness but when your focus is on God you will praise Him energetically.

How should you preserve your focus on praises? Take responsibility for what you see, hear, say, etc. Be careful where you go and who you hang out with because hearing determines how you feel and wrong feelings will affect your focus on God in praises. 

You must understand that distraction will destroy your focus on a life of praise. Be on the alert by focusing on the Word of God. Whatever you see most is the strongest in your life, the more you see His faithfulness the more your praise life will improve. What your eyes see will have an impact on you, the Bible says,"Mine eye affecteth mine heart ...". (Lamentations 3:51KJV). 

See God's glory everywhere you go and refuse to see shame or reproach because what you keep seeing determines your focus. Make a daily effort to look at the law of liberty in the day and at night because over time you resemble what you focus on.

TODAY’S RESPONSE
Spend time to remember all the good things God has done for you this year and your focus will attract praises. Praise the Lord!

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.

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...

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...
