You Matter To Your Biological Family
‘…He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people. No, don’t be afraid. I will continue to take care of you and your children…’ Gen.50:20 -21
Joseph in addition to serving his generation served his biological family. You matter to your biological family. You matter to your parents, siblings, step father and mother, cousins, spouse, and to your children. You matter. God has put you in your biological family for a purpose. One of such purposes could be the salvation of the souls. Your purpose in your family may just be to preach Jesus to the people Read the rest of this entry
You Matter To Your Generation
‘For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption’ Acts.13:36
You are part of God’s big picture. Picture a puzzle and how many different pieces it takes to get a complete picture. God’s picture is similar to that puzzle and all of us are represented as pieces of the puzzle. Going further, when you take a closer look at the pieces that make up the puzzle, each piece is made of holes and areas that protrude. The areas that protrude, it plugs into other pieces and the holes other pieces plug into it. All of us are also made that way. We have parts of our lives where we operate in Read the rest of this entry
Debunking Lies III
‘It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God’ 2 Cor.3:5
The enemy will try to put things in our way to convince us that we are insignificant and unimportant. Another lie the enemy says is that you are not good enough. He says things like, you are not so bad but you are not good enough. You need to become better to matter. The truth is that you and I can never be good enough in your own strength [Isa.64:6]. Yet in Christ Jesus, you are good enough for God. In your own strength you cannot be good enough. No matter how hard you try. It is impossible. Yet when you Read the rest of this entry
Debunking Lies II
‘So that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes’ 2 Cor.2:11
Another lie the enemy will throw your way is that you do not have enough money to make a difference. God has designed you to make a difference for Christ Jesus in your area of influence. Yet the enemy is lying to you that you do not have enough money to make a difference. And because of this lie, you have opted out of all the financial support campaigns in Church. You can make a difference even right now. You do not have to wait until you are a millionaire. Many times we think that we are at the bottom of the Read the rest of this entry
Debunking Lies I
‘But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners’ Rom.5:8
On the path to discovering your importance in God’s plan, the enemy will tell you a lot of lies. All the lies are aimed at convincing You that You do not matter to God. Anyone who has walked with God long enough knows that the devil is a lair. If you do not know anything about the devil, know that he is a lair. If he tells you that you will fail, it is a lie, because you will succeed. In fact, Jesus says that when he is Read the rest of this entry
You Matter
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope’ Jer.29:11
God knows the plans that He has for us. In actual fact, you only plan for the things that are important to you. If you plan for your family, it means your family is important to you. If you plan for your finances, it means your finances are important to you. If you plan for your spiritual walk, it means that your walk with God is important to you. Of course the converse is also the case for all of the examples above. For instance, if you do not plan for your spiritual growth, it means at least for the moment it is not important Read the rest of this entry
The Anointing
‘And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing… for God was with him.’ Acts 10:38
The presence of God creates the anointing. And the anointing sustains the presence. They go hand in hand. If Jesus needed the anointing, trust me, you need the anointing too. God anointed Jesus and He will anoint you too but you must desire it. The anointing does a couple of things in the life of every believer besides breaking yokes. The anointing enables you to walk in the supernatural, Jesus was anointed and He was able to walk in the supernatural. There anointing prepares you for the work that Read the rest of this entry
Rock Solid Guarantee
‘So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say?’ Luke 6:46
Over the past few devotionals we have highlighted the benefits of having God on your side. However the converse is also the case. If you do not have God on your side things will be withheld from you. There will be no assurances. You may get the rain that falls on the just and the unjust. At best you may get some mercy drops but there will be no assurance of the delivery of God’s promises for you. If God is not on your side, accusation will stand against you. You will be written off or wiped away by the storms Read the rest of this entry
Free From Fear
‘The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?’ Psalm 118:6 [KJV]
If God be for us, we will be free from fear; totally free from the fear of men. A lot of people are trying really hard to please people. As such, they end up living a life of discontentment and disappointment. This is an expression of approval addiction. This is not the way God wants you to live. The only One you need to be concerned about His approval is God. You have to play to the audience of the One. When you Read the rest of this entry
Cannot Be Written Off
‘Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and He is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us’ Rom.8:34
‘So there is now no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus’ Rom.8:1. If God be for us, we cannot be written off. It is impossible. You may be experiencing a setback right now. Yet you need to know without any doubt that because God is for you, you will come back even stronger. Belonging to Read the rest of this entry
