Faith Over Fear
Hebrews 11:27 “By faith, Moses left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible.” (NIV, emphasis added)
Moses made four life-shaping choices and so far, we have looked at three which are, Refuse To Be Defined By Others, Choose Short-term Pain For Long-term Gain, Choose What God Values, Over What Culture Values. And the fourth life-shaping choice Moses made was he Chose To Live By Faith, Not By Fear! Choose to live by faith and not by fear. Read the rest of this entry
Three P’s
1 John 2:15&17 “Don’t set the affections of your heart… or in loving the things of the world. The love of the Father and the love of the world are incompatible… This world and its desires are in the process of passing away, but those who love to do the will of God live forever. (TPT)
Moses Chose What God Values Over What Culture Values. And yesterday we learnt that when you do the things that the world values, you expire. But when you do the things that God values, you endure. The question is, what does God value? Read the rest of this entry
Audience of One
Hebrews 12:2 “We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honour beside God’s throne.”
Moses Chose What God Values Over What Culture Values. Moses was driven by his values. I want to challenge you to write down your top three (3) values in life. Pause and think, what are your top three values in life? If you are blank, that is a very bad place to be. Read the rest of this entry
Choose Gains
Isaiah 55:8-9 “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.”
The Bible says in 1 Peter 2:9-10 “But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted” Read the rest of this entry
Him Not I
Genesis 50:19-20 “But Joseph replied, “Don’t be afraid of me. Am I God, that I can punish you? You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.”
As you begin to shine, the first thing you must remember is that It Is Not About You, and the second thing is, No More Obscurity. You are coming out of obscurity. Isaiah 60:1 “Arise, shine, for your light has broken through! The Eternal One’s brilliance has dawned upon you.” (Voice, emphasis added). Read the rest of this entry
Your Shine
Isaiah 60:1-2 “Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see. For the glory of the Lord rises to shine on you. Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth, but the glory of the Lord rises and appears over you.”
As your light begins to shine, the first thing you need to know is that It Is Not About You. Matthew 5:14 “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.” God clearly defines the purpose for your light, your shine in this scripture. Read the rest of this entry
The Unveiling
Isaiah 60:3 “Nations north and south, peoples east and west, will be drawn to your light, will find purpose and direction by your light. In the radiance of your rising, you will enlighten the leaders of nations.” (Voice).
Yesterday, we established that when the enemy cannot quench a star, and is unable to exchange or transfer its glory, he resorts to manipulation. When the enemy fails with remote control and bewitchment, he will attempt to cover, to veil the star. Read the rest of this entry
Pray
1 Chronicles 4:10 “He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!” And God granted him his request.”
The solution to dying before your time is protection, God will protect you. The solution to becoming one of the living dead, that is, the enemy transferring the glory, is warfare. God will fight for you. If it is a God induced glory transfer, the solution is repentance. Read the rest of this entry
Sovereign Will
Genesis 48:14 “But Jacob crossed his arms as he reached out to lay his hands on the boys’ heads. He put his right hand on the head of Ephraim, though he was the younger boy, and his left hand on the head of Manasseh, though he was the firstborn.”
Genesis 48:17 “But Joseph was upset when he saw that his father placed his right hand on Ephraim’s head. So Joseph lifted it to move it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head.” Jacob crossed his hands and gave Ephraim the double portion. Read the rest of this entry
Watch Out!
Psalm 75:5-7 “Don’t raise your fists in defiance at the heavens or speak with such arrogance.’” For no one on earth—from east or west, or even from the wilderness— should raise a defiant fist. It is God alone who judges; he decides who will rise and who will fall.”
We will kick off today’s devotional with our final thought from yesterday which is, never ever get to a place where you feel so big that you disdain God by disobeying His voice. A long time ago, a man came to my office talking very big, he said one of his many warehouses had goods worth over two billion in it. Read the rest of this entry
