TOPIC: Maximising The Supernatural

"Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world" Galatians 4:3
‬‬

*Message*

It is catastrophic to refuse to grow. If a child refuses to grow, the child is not only hurting his or her parents but is also exposing themselves to constant health dangers. This is one good reason the mother Eagle ensures her eaglets are pressured into quickly evolving from a baby lifestyle to a mature lifestyle as soon as possible. A baby Eagle won't only fail to maximize its potential in that immature state, but is also at risk of being preyed upon.

*As a child of God, God is delightful seeing you grow, and you hurt Him when you refuse to leave a babyhood level. But, you see, it's majorly for your own good to embrace growth. A baby believer will struggle to become all that God has destined them to be.*

Now, see this. The world has its corrupted systems (both physical and spiritual), principles (both physical and spiritual), and structures (both physical and spiritual). A person can't fulfill destiny when they operate solely under the world's restrictive and corrupt atmosphere. You must latch upon the offerings of the supernatural realm while still on earth to have an advantage over the earthly realm.

So, you see a fine Christian who is still a baby in Christ and is still operating under the restrictive boundaries of this corrupt world. Such will keep experiencing some forms of hardship in the things that matter. They will keep struggling for things that should easily be theirs only if they have grown into maturity in Christ, to the stature where they can easily operate from the supernatural realm.

God's Will for us is that the supernatural becomes natural for us. This is made possible as we decide to give ourselves fully to the LORD and allow Him to take control of all aspects of our lives. Give it all to JESUS, and no longer withhold anything.

*Prayers*

LORD, help me embrace the lifestyle of the supernatural

by Sunday Akanni Moshood

So I came out to meet you, Diligently to seek your face, And I have found you. (Proverbs 7:15)

The seductress is an expert in rousing self-importance in people by the way of flattering. The seductress wants you to feel very special, very important, very attractive, and very much needed, but it's all a lie. That particular seductress would have repeated the same lines to another prospective victim if he wasn't the one she met. And while the guy was feeling special and flattered, he never knew he was dealing with a deceitful spirit whose aim is to make you lose your guard after stirring you up emotionally to regard yourself beyond what you truly are.

Scripture considers flattery as disingenuous praise or insincere compliments crafted to manipulate or deceive others. It usually comes from self-interest or deceitful intentions, distorting the truth and leading folks astray.

Flattery has the ability to distract individuals from truth and righteousness, and the allure of false praise can lead a person to make unwise decisions and act contrary to their better judgment

"So I came out to meet you, Diligently to seek your face". Another translation: "You’re the very one I’ve looked for, the one I knew I wanted from the moment I saw you. That’s why I’ve come out here tonight, so I could meet a man just like you."

It's all a lie. The seductress only came out to seek any victim that would wander into her traps. With sweet and swelling words, a seductress can make you feel like the most beautiful woman in the world, the most handsome guy ever, the most intelligent person in the universe, the smartest person created by God, etc, all to mischievously induce some intoxicating chemicals of self-importance in you that can draw you towards the path of self-exaltation. At that point, you see yourself as a god, characterized by a mindset of "I can do whatever I want, it's after all my life." This can shut your mind from any reasonable thoughts about the consequence of the action you are about to take (or shut down the voice of the Holy Spirit if you're a Christian).

You see, the devil enjoys using words to make people feel too important and exalted. In that state, he can influence them to do something against existing right protocols. He tried the same thing with Jesus while tempting Him in the wilderness (Matthew 4). By saying "If you are the Son of God", he was trying to mischievously rouse the LORD into a corner of "You know you can do whatever you want to do". Should Jesus have allowed the flattery to enter His head, it would have been easy to make Him do what is wrong.

"Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits." (Daniel 11:32).

Flattery is a very powerful tool in the hands of bad folks, and even at the end of the age, the kingdom of darkness will still rely vehemently on it to get many people corrupt. But the above verse made us realize the fact that the way to be fortified is to excavate strength from a deep knowing of God (an intimate relationship with Him).

You must get to that point where your self-worth and importance are defined by God's word alone and what He is saying about you. Treat nice compliments with uttermost wisdom, particularly when coming from people you are not 100 percent sure have your best interests at heart. For your own good, learn always to turn your back on exaggerated compliments. Never allow any compliments of any kind to make you start seeing yourself beyond what and who you are.

By God, ensure you have a healthy self-esteem that is not determined or influenced by external factors. In other words, whether or not people are saying lovely things about you, it doesn't change much about you - you always regard yourself as who God sees you as, and that's what truly matters.

"A man who flatters his neighbor Spreads a net for his feet." (Proverbs 29:5).

TOPIC: *What If My Life Didn't Turn Out Well?*

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Joshua‬ ‭1:8‬ ‬

‭‬
*Message*


The average human has a phobia of failure and hates to fail. Of course, there are various ways to explain the reason for this. First, originally, failure wasn't embedded in the DNA of humans, as we were destined to operate in the class of the Divine. Humans only started knowing what failure looks like after the Fall in the Garden of Eden; after sin re-engineered the DNA of mankind by quietly weakening our strength (Isaiah 14:12).

Also, we must it that society finds failure repulsive, either directly or indirectly. Hence, failure attracts all manner of negativity that ensures misery.

The good thing is that you can be 100 percent certain that you will never end up a failure in life, as a child of God. You know it is never in God's Will that you should become miserable, and you can always trust Him who knows the end from the beginning (Revelation 1:8; 22:13).

*In Christ Jesus, yours is a glorious adventure, and your life will soar from glory to glory. Since you are seated with Christ in heaven places (Ephesians 2:6), it doesn't matter what the economy of your region is like, you will keep flourishing "like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth its fruits in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper." (Psalms 1:3).*

One of the things you will start doing is to go into society and show love to those folks whom society has labeled a failure. You will exert influence over them and let the glory of God upon you drive them also into God's kingdom. There, they will throw off their prison clothes and put on their destined identity - kings and priests (Revelation 1:6).

Prayers
In the name of Jesus, since it's settled that I won't end up a failure in life, I'm empowered to change the destiny of folks around me whom society has labeled a failure.

TOPIC: Greatness

"And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you today, and be careful to observe them" Deuteronomy 28:13
‭‬
*Message*

GOD is a Great God, at all sides and in all ways. He not only does great things, but He thinks great thoughts, and He has great plans for every single one of His children, including you. In His great plans for us, it has been settled that our latter shall be greater than our previous and current realities (Job 8:7; Haggai 2:9).

Since God's greatest desire for you is to be great in His sight, You should not settle for less in all of your endeavors. You should not shortchange God's dealings with you for humans' applause and recognition. No contrary offer from humans can be compared with the bliss of being attested by God Himself as you flourish in His perfect Will for your life (Matthew 3:17).

The Will of God your Creator is that you should be the head and always at the top of your game - in your industry, in your calling/assignment, in your career, etc. Hence, you must never embrace mediocrity and complacency at all.

It is important to always that it is GOD who makes people great with ease (without having to burn yourself out). You will agree with me that there are several so-called successful people out there today who attained their heights at the expense of other important things - sacrificing their family, health, etc. But when God is the one placing you in the position of the Greats, you are bound to enjoy bliss all around you, and won't have to experience sorrow from other important things neglected.

Prayer
Dear Lord, I hold on to Your great promises of greatness for my life, and I'm always alive to my dominion reality.

TOPIC: Don't Settle For Another Form Of Slavery
‭
Galatians 4:1 ‬
[1] Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all,

*Message*

*Galatians 4:1 is yet another truth that should propel you to embrace maturity as quickly as possible. Before coming to Christ as you surrendered your heart to Him and embraced Him as Lord and Savior, you have been a slave to sin and self and satan. As a born-again Christian, you obtained freedom through the finished works of Christ upon which your faith is built. However, remaining a babe in the faith is akin to settling for another form of slavery, as you won't be able to attain the heights and realities awaiting your destiny in a childish version of yourself.*

After putting your faith in Christ Jesus, you get started off on the level of babyhood in the faith. A baby does what he or she wants without shame, and we ignore their babyish acts because we know they are not yet mature. But then, there are responsibilities you can't entrust into the hands of a baby.

However, after some time, the baby is expected to grow into adulthood and will be punished if he or she still displays a babyish act. Same here with the faith. A baby Christian is expected to grow into maturity after some time and should grow from childhood to sonship.

And the way you identify a mature believer is through their submission to the government of the Holy Spirit.

*"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." Romans 8:14*

In other words, such a mature believer only do the things God wants them to do, and not what they feel like doing (unlike a baby Christian who only acts based on their own feelings or interests). This level depicts true liberty that extends to all of eternity.

*Prayers*
Ask the LORD to take away whatever is still hindering you from attaining maturity.

by *Sunday Akanni*

TOPIC: Faith And Hope

Hebrews 11:1‬
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

*Message*

Faith is one of the most cardinal things that must be constantly understood and practiced if a believer will fulfill destiny by becoming all that God has destined them to be. Faith is not an emotion but a purposeful decision to stand on God's word. Hence, our lives must always be saturated with God's word. Take note of this scripture:

*" the word to Your servant, Upon which You have caused me to hope." Psalms 119:49*

Faith is not necessary when there's no hope. Hope built upon (or presented by) God's word puts in place the goal - then faith is the bridge that helps you get to it. There is a big difference between wishful thinking and God's promises via His word. Hope that was sponsored by God's promises will become a reality with the right measure of faith

When you master the keys of the kingdom, you become invincible and victorious. The Bible says: For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith." (I John 5:4).

*Finally, we know that Jesus our perfect High Priest is currently making intercessions for us (Hebrews 7:25). And we know that a good chunk of His prayers for us revolves around us being strong in faith. "But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail..." Luke 22:32*

*Prayers*
Dear LORD, increase my faith.

Hebrews 4:2 NKJV‬
For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

TOPIC: When All Is Said And Done
‭‭
‭II John 1:6‬

This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.

*Message*

We were created in the very same image and likeness of God, and it's our destiny to always pursue becoming like God. Take note of the fact that the very essence and nature of the LORD is love. Hence, the most visible way of becoming like Him is by loving others. Like I enjoy saying, in spite of the fact that God is all-powerful (amongst other supernatural abilities), He is more comfortable with love, and He loves being approached as a Love Being.

*Touching the matter of love, Paul made some powerful remarks: "And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing." (I Corinthians 13:3).*

Always that love cannot be learned in isolation, but you grow in love as you practice love intentionally with people around you - the nasty folks, the imperfect and annoying ones, etc. Whilst you have the liberty to decide the things you want your life to revolve around, Jesus summarised what matters most this way: "Love God and love people". The point of life is learning to love God and people.

*Always give priority to the things that help you grow in love with the Lord, and always give yourself to enhancing good relationships with people beyond things. Relationships, not things, are what really matters in life. When all is said and done, you will discover that relationships are what life is all about.*


*Prayers*
Dear LORD, help me give myself to loving You and others.

‭‭I Corinthians 13:13‬
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

TOPIC: Complacency Kills ion

Deuteronomy 32:11 ‬
As an eagle stirs up its nest, Hovers over its young, Spreading out its wings, taking them up, Carrying them on its wings,

*Message*

By now, you should be aware that between the time you receive your vision from God and its manifestations, there are going to be a whole lot of uncertainties and challenges that will want to make you quit. Even if others should quit, ion will keep you going. When you are really ionate about your dreams and visions, the price tag won't stop you.

Now, you should also be aware that complacency could kill ion. A mother Eagle is aware of the fact that she mustn't wait for her young to get out of the nest and fly on their own initiative - because they won't do so due to the ease at which they get their stuff daily in their comfort zone. So, what the mother Eagle does is push them out of their comfort zone! It may seem as if the mother is acting wickedly, but she is only helping them learn to fly and fulfill their own destiny too.

*To become all that God has destined you to be, you must always take steps out of your comfort zone. When you have mastered your strength zone, you should always carry your strength zone with you and won't be scared of confronting unfamiliar zones outside your comfort zone. Complacency kills ion and it reduces a person to average.*

*Prayers*
Is there a dream you've abandoned for lack of ion? Ask the LORD for strength that revives.

TOPIC: Self-esteem Empowerment

Luke 1:28 ‬
And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”

*Message*

Before Mary could be offered the assignment of rendering her womb as the vehicle that would transport the KING of kings from Heaven to earth, there was a system put in place to ensure her self-esteem would first be jacked up to a superb level of divinity, done by granting her the revelation of her identity in eternity: “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”

It was only after this had been achieved that the angel informed her: "And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David." (Vs 31-32).

Mary's next response was, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?” and not, "Who am I to be entrusted with such great responsibility?". The reason is simple, the encounter had first opened her up to a revelation of her identity in eternity, and it has empowered her self-esteem to carry her head high even amid the reproach it will bring (since people will think she has been sleeping around when not married).

*In God's wisdom, before commissioning you into your assignment, He first grants you a revelation of your glorious identity in eternity. This is beneficial in several ways, including how it is a self-esteem empowerment scheme to ensure you keep carrying your shoulders high even when faced with reproach while carrying out the assignment.*


*Prayers*

Press for fresher encounters with the LORD, for fresher revelations of how He sees and regards you.

TOPIC: Trust Him
‭‭‭‭
Psalms 119:1 NKJV‬
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, Who walk in the law of the Lord!

*Message*

A reasonable parent won't place their kid near a cliff's edge and watch them play as they want. Rather, they will ensure there is a solid fence that can restrict the kids from jumping into danger. The fence may hinder the children from fulfilling certain harmful desires as they crave more freedom, but it also enables them to play freely without fear.

This is the same thing with God as He utilizes His Word. God is a very responsible Father, and He won't simply place and abandon His children in a nasty world and society without building a fence that should guide our inclinations and keep us safe from the dangerous systems and lifestyles birthed by the sinful nature of mankind.

*Definitely, it gets to a time where some kids start wondering curiously what's on the other side of the fence. If such a child doesn't know or trust the one who built the fence, they will climb over and hurl deep down. So, we've got to know God, the fence builder, and trust Him. He created the fence via His word, not to keep us in bondage, but to empower us for liberty.*

*In all your dealings with God, always Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."*

TOPIC: Idolatry

"Jesus said to him, "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment" Matthew 22: 37, 38
‭‬‬

*Message*

God is the only truly transcendent Being, which means, while He is both the unknown and unknowable, yet, He continually seeks to reveal Himself to His creation. The LORD is the incomprehensible Creator who exists outside of space and time and is therefore unknowable and unsearchable. However, He has still made it possible for us to know a lot about Him, particularly via the Scripture of Truth.

And when you examine Scripture, you will see a lot about the personality of God. You will easily find out that He is a God who can do without mankind on the strength of His Omnipotence (an expression of being All-powerful revolves around His self-sufficiency). However, He chose to love mankind without restraint, and this includes His willingness to attach emotions to His dealings with us.

Hence, you discover that He is a jealous God who doesn't want to share you with anything else outside of Him. So, from Scripture, we see a prototype with the offspring of Abraham and Isaac, after claiming them for Himself from all the peoples of the earth (Genesis 17).

Whilst there is nothing too special about the Israelites in themselves, He humbled Himself to embrace them to Himself and became fully engrossed in His commitment to them. He instructed thus: "You shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me" (Exodus‬ ‭20:5).

Even today, you discover that there are usually things in the lives of many that keep competing with God's love. Such things are actually idols. Anything as important as God to you, anything you place ahead and above God, is an idol.

Hence, if you have a genuine revelation about the love of God, then you must keep guarding your affections to ensure nothing outside of Him will compete for His love inside of you.

Prayers
LORD, cut off anything outside of You competing with You in my life.

TOPIC: If Nothing Is Worth Dying For, Nothing Is Worth Living For

‭
I John 4:7 ‬
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

*Message*

If nothing is worth dying for, nothing is worth living for. Jesus made us realize the truth that the only way to live abundantly is to first die to self-interest and then offer yourself totally to God as well as anyone around you in need of what the LORD has blessed you with.

*As a child of God, you are empowered to have a high and healthy self-esteem - but you mustn't be selfish and self-centered. When you are only obsessed with yourself, you end up losing the meaning of life. Life is sweet and tasty when you love and serve God, and you're empowered based on that to love and serve your neighbors.*

Without a commitment to the well-being of others, our individual lives are prone to being barren and bitter. Without an adequate commitment to the well-being of those God has strategically placed around you, our individual lives are prone to lack meaning and purpose. Indeed, if nothing is worth dying for, then nothing is worth living for.

*Prayers*

Today, I choose to ride upon my love towards God to care for the well-being of those God has placed around me. I offer myself to those around me in need of what God has given me.

TOPIC: Life Is In Seasons
‭
Ecclesiastes 3:1‬
To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:

*Message*

Of a truth, life is lived in seasons. The earlier you sincerely realize this and make it a continual part of your life, the better for you. Anyone who doesn't understand this truth will be constantly frustrated. There are seasons for sowing, and there are seasons of painful waiting, as well as seasons for reaping.

Many times, when people find themselves at junctions where things aren't just going how they would have loved, it's normal to feel irritated and agitated. When a person has been trusting God for certain things and realities, but it's not just coming up as expected, they can get really frustrated and worn out. But it is soothing to realize that the miracle is coming, not just when you wanted it, but at God's best time, which is the right season.

*While you should keep taking appropriate steps and leaps of faith during your waiting seasons, all must be done from a place of rest, knowing fully well that the seasons of harvests and manifestations are on the way (maybe closer than you think), and the right season is the best time to get what belongs to you.*

*You may feel frustrated with the pace of your progress, but God is never in a hurry. What happens when a sower tries harvesting their plants before the season of harvest? They get everything ruined! Imagine plucking unripe mangoes, it's all a mess, right? So, as much as you so much crave a change in your fortune, God won't want the process to be ruined by your desires but will allow the gentle operations of seasons.*

Don't be in haste. Wait for your season. It will definitely come!

*Prayers*
Father in the name of Jesus, help me remain patient and set for my season of harvest.

TOPIC: Touch Him

Mark 5:28‬
For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”

*Message*

In the book of Mark, we saw a woman with a terrible issue of blood flow that has been on for 12 years. She has spent all her money on the condition and has made the doctors rich - but they still couldn't help her get well.

The problem is one that prevented her from living a quality life in several ways. As a wife, her husband couldn't touch her sexually - for 12 years. The condition made it impossible for her to give birth, denying her the joy of motherhood. She couldn't even practice her religion as she was prohibited from entering the temple. As a matter of fact, anything she touched was considered unclean.

However, she thought within herself, "If I can just touch Jesus", and that ignited her journey into the miraculous. But take note of the fact that before she could get to Jesus, she had to first deal with a crowd hindering her from getting to the LORD. The crowds would have given her different opinions that should have discouraged her - but her faith just won't make her stop.

*When faced with tough issues and you find yourself in a bad condition, don't embrace misery, but aim to touch Jesus. You can always press through the hindrances and discouragement and touch the One who can introduce you to the miraculous, again and again.*

*Prayers*

Today, take any problem in your heart to God's presence and expect a touch from the LORD.‭

The Dirty Tricks Of The Seductress (Proverbs 7:5-27)

Proverbs 7:5-27 contains the story of the seductress and her ignorant prey, exposing her tactics and tricks for the wise to consider. Now, it should be noted that the seductress here is not gender-based, but a system/posture that can be assumed by a member of any of the genders (both male and female), with the intent of bringing ignorant folks into a deadly pit via sexual pleasures.

So, while reading the operations of the seductress in this chapter, keep in mind that a male can also be under the influence of the spirit of the seductress, and the prey can also be a female.

And having made these clarifications, let's get started:

"That they may keep you from the immoral woman, From the seductress who flatters with her words."

My Comment:

So, wise Solomon had been onishing the importance of holding on to God's word, as it will keep one from the immoral seductress who "flatters with words". The same thing was highlighted in Proverbs 2:16 - "...the seductress who flatters with her words."

The strength of the seductress is heavily hinged upon their words, and their mouths are a strong weapon, even stronger than their sexual organs. "For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil; [4] But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword." (Proverbs 5:3-4)

Words are powerful and spiritual, and the seductress knows how to use words in darkness. Since the seductress operates with the spirit of lust, with their words, they saturate the atmosphere with lust. Lust flies around in the air and folks who don't have the spiritual energy to soar above this frequency become infested with lust. This is why when you get to certain places, lust is very strong in the atmosphere, and you will always see the fruits of immorality littered all over the place.

The spirit of lust still distills sounds all around the nations of the world. These are sensual vibrations that come through various means and channels (movies, music, books, social media, etc) meant to plant the seed of lust in the hearts of people from the realm of the spirit. The goal is to first seduce your heart before anything else. "...with her smooth words meant to seduce your heart." (TPT). Wise people thus invest a lot in whatever is pure that guards their hearts from being corrupted and seduced by lust.

Human seductresses operating with the spirit of lust don't attempt to lure people into sexual sins without first casting the spells of lust into the air from the realm of the spirit. When that is done, they are most likely to successfully get a prey in the physical realm.

You should understand that these folks have targets given to them from their kingdom of darkness which must be met - on a daily basis, weekly, monthly, annually, etc. Imagine someone instructed to bring 20 persons into sexual immorality each week, an average of 3 each day. Such a person will always be eager and have a sense of urgency around their potential victims because they know the grave repercussions that await if they fail to meet the target they were given (the devil their master is very cruel).

Hence, on a normal level, their sense of urgency and eagerness around their potential victims should send a message that something is not right here. However, the unfortunate truth is that any part of their victims that should accommodate reasonable thoughts or perceive something foul is already infested with lust via their spells from the spirit realm. The bullets of lust shot with their sensual vibrations from the kingdom of darkness will mix with the arousal of their prospective victims (the arousal of their sexual organs), and only divine intervention can prevent those ones from falling into their sexual traps at that point.

Deuteronomy 8:3 ‬
So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.

Experts say people only keep doing what rewards them. Hence, when reading the bible becomes unrewarding, it becomes easy to quit. If you still have a healthy conscience, you will likely feel guilty but become spiritually weak and tired. But you must always that your soul can't thrive without God's word.

But you may say, "I know so and so persons who don't read God's word, but they are doing fine and happy". Then I will answer you, "They aren't living the best version of themselves". I will also correct you by saying, "Anyone who seems happy outside of God is only a great actor".

*The Bible says, "So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord. (Deuteronomy 8:3).*

*When we don't enjoy feasting on God's word, we begin to shrink bit by bit and it becomes impossible to become all that God has destined us to be.*

"But I don't have time to always read the bible". How much time do you spend with your phone each day? Hours, right? If you find social media rewarding and not God's word, your soul needs great help. Change your habits and start reading the bible.

TOPIC: Teach Us To Number Our Days

Psalms 90:12 ‬
So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.

*Message*

It is very beneficial to give greater priority to wisdom and spend the rest of your life with a very strong consciousness of eternity.

This known earth is not your permanent residence, and after a definite number of days have been completed (which only God knows), either by death or the rapture, you will be transported away from this known world, and return to a palpable space of eternity. One will either spend their eternity in heaven, which is characterized by God's intimate Presence, or the lake of fire, which is a system of punishment for those who rebelled against God.

The scripture of truth onished us to learn to number our days with the end goal of gaining a heart of wisdom (or start living life on the frequency of divine wisdom). In other words, in our daily activities, we will always choose to that at the end of each day, we are getting closer to returning back to the space of eternity where God commissioned us from before we were born into this world.

*Wisdom will then tutor and compel us to always make the right choices each day to enable us to fulfill God's purpose for us on earth, while at the same time investing heavily in our eternity (the quality of your existence in eternity will be heavily dependent on your choices on earth). Wisdom will tutor us to live each day pleasing God through faith in Christ Jesus and maintaining a solid intimate relationship with Him.*

TOPIC: The Light Of Men

Isaiah 60:1‬
Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.

*Message*

Jesus gave us the fortitude to oust darkness by shining the divine Holy Ghost breathed light authoritatively. At Calvary, Jesus disgraced and defeated Evil, and turned the word 'evil' into 'Live'. In John 1:4, the scriptures say: "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men."

*When you accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, you become a new unique breed that has a nature that's above Evil, and the light of Christ in you illuminates your entire being (mind, thoughts, conscience, habits, characters, etc) making it easy to walk in the narrow path of holiness and righteousness that is devoid of evil, and that makes you immune from any evil work of darkness around you.*

Imagine how beautiful our world would be if every one of us decided to accept Jesus Christ and embrace His loving directives. If you have embraced Jesus Christ and accepted his death, suffering, resurrection, and ascension, please preach Him to the world. , the more people accept Him truly, the less evil the world will witness. By preaching the gospel, you keep spreading divine light that chases darkness far away.

Galatians 3:13 NKJV
[13] Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),

*Message*

From the story of Ruth and Naomi, we discover there is no situation so dark that the light of God’s presence and His arm of provision cannot be redeemed. God made use of the man Boaz to redeem Ruth and Naomi from their unpleasant past via the instrumentality of the marriage institution.

The marriage institution is one of God's most superb strategies to equip mankind with a taste of divinity that enhances our quality of life on earth. Jesus married us, His church, empowering us with the arm of divinity to become all God has destined us to be.

1 Peter 1:18-19 informs us - “you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ.”

Ephesians 5:25-27 - “Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish”

Ruth and Naomi struggled and grieved for a while when death reared its ugly head in their direction. But God utilized the marriage institution to change their fortune again. Let's not forget that before this happened, the duo remained loyal to each other, facing their circumstances with boldness and wise and courageous actions. Your loyalty to Jesus, your Bridegroom, will ensure a quality existence that spans across eternity.

*Prayers*
Thank You LORD for the blessing of the marriage institution.

Ruth 4:14
Blessed is the LORD who has not left you without a redeemer today”

*Message*

From the story of Ruth and Naomi, we can also uniquely learn about redemption. Scattered across the different pages of the book of Ruth is the testament to the truth that there is absolutely no situation that cannot be redeemed for God’s glory as well as our good.

The duo, Ruth and Naomi, ed through tough and unpleasant circumstances quite alright, and yet, their story is also full of redemption, with God proving His goodness again and again.

So, you see the man Boaz who gladly fulfills his responsibility to redeem Ruth and Naomi as a kinsman-redeemer, an action that empowered the duo toward a better life that placed them in the privileged cadre of society. This became obvious to all, as they declared:
“‘Blessed is the LORD who has not left you without a redeemer today” (Ruth 4:14).

It is important to know that Boaz’s redemption of Ruth and Naomi is one of the Old Testament acts that foreshadow the redemption that Jesus accomplishes on behalf of His people in His era of grace. As we decide to align with the LORD, He redeemed us from self, sin, satan, death, and whatever negative stuff you can think of.

*Prayers*
Thank You LORD for redemption.

James 2:26
[26] For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

*Message*

Ruth and Naomi displayed a great deal of faith in God by trusting vehemently in His arm of provision. However, this never stopped them from acting boldly too. The duo came together and made a plan that involved Ruth proposing marriage to Boaz (Ruth 3:1-18).

For some folks, their issue is not a lack of faith in the LORD, but their lack of boldness in carrying out the necessary divinely-crafted steps that will ensure progress on their journey of destiny. Be bold! Take bold steps today!

The duo's bold steps helped ensure all the characters in their story witnessed a sweet ending. We should not ignore how God utilized the wisdom of Naomi in partnership with the courage of Ruth to ensure the progress of His agenda. , Ruth became drafted into the tree of the lineage of Jesus Christ.

As you go about your activities today, trust in God, which leads to bold action, empowered by His love.

*Message*

The book of Ruth is a revelator of the truth of God's faithfulness, the fact that He can always be trusted amid the toughest circumstances. We easily see His arm of provision stretched to provide what Ruth and Naomi needed at exactly the right time.

Ruth was obviously supernaturally led to begin gleaning in the fields of Boaz, a relative of her late husband, unknown to her. Always ensure you watch out for God's supernatural works in the midst of uncertainties and tight situations. You will always find His great arm working behind the scenes for your good.

When Naomi discovered this, she expressed her delight at the loyal love of God, declaring that His “‘kindness has not forsaken the living or the dead!’”

Dear reader, things might be currently happening very fast around you right now, so much so that you have started getting overwhelmed. In the midst of it all, however, search out for God's kindness toward you, and you will always discover that He has been ensuring all things work together for your good.

Good morning folks. Another reminder that Jesus loves you ❤️

by Sunday Akanni Moshood

In Genesis chapter 39, we see Joseph settling in a foreign land as a slave. But one thing was sure, he never allowed his external unpleasant circumstances to erase the visions of the great future God had shown him before this time.

Joseph’s ordeal was probably worse than what you have gone through. But you see, the LORD never abandoned him. If God allowed him to be a slave, then he would be a successful man, even as a slave. It doesn't matter how hard things are for you currently, God is still eager to help you actualize the great visions and dreams He has placed in your heart.

Joseph developed a positive attitude of "All things work together for my good", and amid his toughness (, he was in a strange land with a strange culture and language), his exceptional performances still stood him out. But this is when the enemy intensified his attempts to make the young man fall into sexual temptation, so his bright future could be battered. And the agent of sexual temptation to be utilized is the wife of his master -

[6] So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph’s care; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, [7] and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” (Genesis 39:6-7 NIV)

Your positive mindset and exceptional performances in the great things you do, will attract agents of sexual temptation to you, whose aim is to make you fall into sin, so you give the devil a chance to stop you from becoming all God has destined you to be. Mind you, the carriers of sexual temptation to be employed by the enemy are always close by and not far away - just like in the case of Joseph.

However, although Joseph was in a faraway land where he could do whatever he wanted, and in the midst of the tempting atmosphere (a beautiful naked woman offering you a better life if you can sleep with her), the fear of God becomes his guide, and the fear of God in his heart proved stronger than the sexual cravings of his flesh.
‭
[9] No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” (Genesis 39:9 NIV).

The fear of God educated him on God's Will for sexual pleasure: Sexual pleasures must only be shared by a married man and his female wife in the safe confines of their marriage union, with no other party involved.

Now, gaze closely at the next verse - "And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her." (10). First, agents of sexual temptation will never back down, but keep trying to lure you - even if they must wait for 50 years! But you see what Joseph did - "...he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her." Joseph kept employing the "avoidance technique".

He wasn't just saying "I have the fear of God" and continued being careless around this embodiment of sexual temptation (he would have fallen into her bed of immorality!). Rather, he kept being cautious of her and avoiding close interactions.

Nevertheless, I told you, you could have been avoiding agents of sexual temptation all your life, but at some point, it's possible to miscalculate and get outsmarted by an entity of sexual temptation

[11] One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. [12] She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house." (11-12)

On a certain day, the sexual temptation outsmarted his avoidance technique and came so close by. But you see what he did? He had to employ the fleeing technique. Here was a beautiful naked woman close by. You don't negotiate or pray here - the immediate thing to do is to FLEE.

Joseph was 17 years old when he was sold into slavery (Genesis 37:2). He was 30 when Pharaoh promoted him (Genesis 41:46). He was in prison for two years before his promotion (Genesis 41:1). So, Joseph was in Potiphar’s house for 11 years. It means this woman was trying unsuccessfully to lure him for 11 good years! When you have the fear of God, and you are diligently employing the "avoidance and fleeing" technique, you will always please God in purity and he will sure promote and bless you with the blessings only He can bless a person with.
