Instructions
‘Then He said, Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you’ll get some! So they did, and they couldn’t haul in the net because there were so many fish in it’ John 21:6.
Usually, what God will give you concerning any situation you face is an instruction. If there is one thing that is peculiar to instructions, it is the fact that instructions from God need to be obeyed. Many times, instructions from God come to us through the Holy Spirit as suggestions. However, think of it this way, if God suggests that you do things in a certain way, don’t you think it is in your best interest to make that suggestion priority? We know that our God never utters a careless word. People often refer to this world we live in as warfare and not a funfair. It Read the rest of this entry
Housing The Holy Spirit
‘Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.’1Cor.6:19-20
It will be very beneficial to us Christians to study the instructions God gave to Moses when he was setting up the Tabernacle [the place of meeting] in Exodus [Ex.25-40]. You will see how much detail God put into the Tabernacle just because it was a meeting place for Him and His people. God put the same detail Read the rest of this entry
The Seal
‘…the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, He identified you as His ownby giving you the Holy Spirit, whom He promised long ago’ Eph.1:13
A seal is figure, symbol, word, letter, etc., used as attestation or evidence of authenticity. Another definition says a seal is the design or emblem itself, belonging exclusively to the user. For a person to carry the seal of God means that the person belongs exclusively to God because he bears God’s mark on his Read the rest of this entry
The Tradition Box III
‘Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect’ Rom.12:2
It has to be all about Jesus Christ in every Christian endeavor. This calls for a deliberate attempt to live our lives according to the Word of God and not according to the dictates of tradition. Today you find churches where tradition attempts to limit the move of the Spirit of God. The only thing that must not change in the way a Church does things is their adoration of the person of Jesus Read the rest of this entry
You Need To Know V
‘Truly, O God of Israel, our Savior, You work in mysterious ways’ Isa.45:15
‘This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed’ Hab.2:3. Today’s devotional is a continuation of yesterday’s discourse. You need to know that God will commit to ‘what’ but He will not always commit to ‘how’. Joseph knew the ‘what’ – he was going to be above his brothers. He knew this for a fact because God showed him ‘what’ was to come. Joseph Read the rest of this entry
You Need To Know III
‘And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability’ Acts 2:4
You need to know that God does the illogical. God does things that don’t make sense. As you begin to experience God unboxed, expect the illogical. The gift of tongues does not make any sense to the person speaking it. But you see, that is God for you. For a lot of people, what is limiting their realization of God and their next level is logic. We are waiting for everything to Read the rest of this entry
You Need To Know II
‘Suddenly, there was a sound from Heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting’ Acts 2:2
God does not only bless the people that we do not agree with or bless us in spite of those that do not agree with us, God does the unexpected. God shows up suddenly; He likes to surprise people. I have not met a woman that does not like to be surprised by her husband. God loves to show up when we least expect Him. For many of us, if we think back 10 or 20 years, we will never have Read the rest of this entry
You Need To Know I
‘They were completely amazed. “How can this be?” they exclaimed. “These people are all from Galilee’ Acts.2:7
God also blesses those that don’t agree with us. The fact that God is doing awesome things in your life, and you do not agree with your brother does not mean God will stop doing great things in his life. God will bless the people you disagree with inspite of the fact that you disagree with them. You may be one of those who think that this is totally unfair. Some people think that Read the rest of this entry
Manifest Presence
‘And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages… But others in the crowd ridiculed them, saying, “They’re just drunk, that’s all!” Acts2:4 & 13
You have to live your life void of fear of people ridiculing you or calling you names. And plug into the purposes of God. The disciples were wise enough to separate themselves as Jesus instructed and wait for the promise. When they received the promise, some people’s reaction was to ridicule them. Ignore the jesters. The Holy Spirit is the power of God. He is God Himself. He is the 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
