The How
Ps.9:1-2 “I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvellous things you have done. I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.”
It is one thing to know ‘why’ you should do something, but it is a totally different thing to know ‘how’. Our focus today is on how to live a life of thanksgiving to God. The first way is to thank God by Singing From Your Heart. Can the tone of your voice give your expression a different meaning? Certainly. God says sing from your heart; meaning, every time you show up before God, alone or in a crowd, God wants you to sing from your heart. Read the rest of this entry
Worthy!
Ps. 96:8 “Credit Him with the glory worthy of His magnificent name; gather your sacrifice, and present it at His temple..” (VOICE)
God is worthy; to be worthy is to be deserving. We had a full house growing up; six children with two [sometimes three] cousins staying with us. Eba [a Nigerian dish] was our constant lunch, Mondays to Saturdays, except on Sundays. Read the rest of this entry
From The Heart
Ps.145:3 “The Lord is GREAT and worthy of our praise; no one can understand how great he is.” (NCV, emphasis added)
How grateful are you today? Are you grateful? An old saying reads, ‘’Your life is God’s gift to you, but what you do with your life is your gift to GOD.’’ Your life is indeed God’s gift to you. However, what you do with your life is the gift you give back to God. Read the rest of this entry
Stand On It
Josh.14:6 “…Caleb said to Joshua, “Remember what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, about you and me…” (emphasis added)
The challenge with a lot of us is that we do not remember things that God has said to us. We do a lot of writing but when it matters most, we do not remember. This is why a lot of people are worrying and fear has such a strong grip on many lives. It is because we do not remember. Read the rest of this entry
Posture
Ps.95:6 “Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord our maker”
Unfortunately, some people are still arguing if Christians should celebrate Christmas. People are still saying perhaps it has an occultic background or that the early church did not celebrate Christmas. Read the rest of this entry
Your Call
Ps.18:20-24 (MSG) “God made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before him. When I got my act together, he gave me a fresh start… I feel put back together, and I’m watching my step. God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.”
God specializes in new beginnings but for you to enjoy it, you need to let go of the pain of the past. The way a lot of people deal with regret is to blame or to bury. Read the rest of this entry
Uphold Her Glory!
Isa.54:14 “You will be secure under a government that is just and fair. Your enemies will stay far away. You will live in peace, and terror will not come near.”
Today, we are taking a break from our study to focus on our Nigeria. Sometimes, when we think about Nigeria, particularly for those who are vested in this country, it is a sweet and sour experience. Read the rest of this entry
David’s Secret
Ps.143:5 “I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done. 6 I spread out my hands to you; I thirst for you like a parched land” (NIV, with emphasis).
Today we will be unlocking the door to one of David’s key strengths which is meditation. David knew how to be quiet and focused before God. Read the rest of this entry
By Grace
Eph. 2:8 (NRSV, with emphasis) “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God”
Over the next few days we are going to be looking at an aspect of being unstoppable that is usually overlooked even by Christians. Humility is a very powerful component in being unstoppable, Read the rest of this entry
Unstoppable
John 1:12 (KJV) “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name”
Before we get into today’s devotion, I want you to find it in your heart to be grateful to God. Just pick a point of gratitude and thank God. Read the rest of this entry
