Provoked Turn
1 Kings 17:13 “But Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid! Go ahead and do just what you’ve said, but make a little bread for me first. Then use what’s left to prepare a meal for yourself and your son.”
Earlier on in my walk with God, I struggled with this scripture.

Divine Turn
Proverbs 11:24-25 “One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. Be generous, and you will be prosperous. Help others, and you will be helped.” (NIV & GNT)
By the grace of God, your turning point has begun; therefore, expect a turnaround from Darkness to Light. Expect a turnaround from the Prison to the Palace. Expect a turnaround from Sorrow to Joy in the Name of Jesus. Read the rest of this entry
Think On These
Luke 11:10 “For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.”
We start today’s devotional with the concluding thought from yesterday which is, “Lay hands suddenly on no man…” (1 Tim. 5:22, KJV).

Turn-Around
2Cor.4:17 “For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” [with emphasis]

The Test
Dan.6: 14 “Hearing this, the king was deeply troubled, and he tried to think of a way to save Daniel. He spent the rest of the day looking for a way to get Daniel out of this predicament.”
Life will consistently present you with situations where you are helpless, the question is, what will you do at such time? Yesterday, I told you about my position never to cheat in any examination, right? I was a computer Read the rest of this entry
How It Works
Dan.3: 25 “Look!” Nebuchadnezzar shouted. “I see four men, unbound, walking around in the fire unharmed! And the fourth looks like a god!”
Ambassadors of God’s Kingdom know that honour is given to whom honour is due and worship is given to Whom worship is due. God alone, the Maker of the heavens and the earth, is worthy of the worship of His people. If like Read the rest of this entry
Ripening
James 1:2 “… when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. 3 For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. 4 So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.”
The greater your threshold for pain, the greater your capacity for leadership. In positions of leadership, expect people to will say horrible things about you, can you take it? People will stab you in the back and in Read the rest of this entry
Face The Fear I
Ps.105:19 “Until the time came to fulfil his dreams, the Lord tested Joseph’s character.”
We all are drawn to people that have character. I love people that have character and I am sure you do too. Think about this; who will you leave your child with?
At The Roots
Ps.32:3 [MSG] “When I kept it all inside, my bones turned to powder, my words became daylong groans. 4 the pressure never let up… 5 Then I let it all out… Suddenly the pressure was gone –my guilt dissolved, my sin disappeared. 6 These things add up…”
