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
Caution!
Matthew 25:29 “To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away.”
Stars can be exchanged or transferred; this can happen by the enemy, and sometimes by God Himself. In the case of Saul, for example, it was God and not the enemy, God transferred Saul’s glory to David. David already had a mission, God just added to it. Read the rest of this entry
Not You
1 Samuel 16:1 “Now the Lord said to Samuel, “You have mourned long enough for Saul. I have rejected him as king of Israel, so fill your flask with olive oil and go to Bethlehem. Find a man named Jesse who lives there, for I have selected one of his sons to be my king.”
The first thing the enemy tries to do is to quench (put out) the star, but he will continue to fail. The second thing he tries to do is to exchange the glory or transfer it. Stars can be exchanged and transferred, but I pray for you in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, that your star, your glory will not be given Read the rest of this entry
Of Herod
Matthew 2:19-20 “But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life.” (KJV, emphasis added)
We have established that stars can be quenched, and the devil works through the spirit of Pharaoh and the spirits of Herod, two star-quenching spirits to achieve this. God deals with these two star-quenching spirits differently. Read the rest of this entry
Of Pharaoh
Exodus 2:10 “Later, when the boy was older, his mother brought him back to Pharaoh’s daughter, who adopted him as her own son. The princess named him Moses, for she explained, “I lifted him out of the water.”
Yesterday, we said that in introducing Jesus, God shows us the concept of the star. While the enemy’s three-point agenda is to kill, steal, and destroy, Jesus has come to give us life and life more abundantly. The first way the enemy attacks stars is he puts them off. Read the rest of this entry
The Star
Matthew 5:14-15 “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.”
I am praying for you in the Name of Jesus that God will open your eyes and give you understanding. Some of us already understand some of the things we are going to get into over the next few days, but for some, it will be shocking; and for some others, it will come across as too hard.

Responses
Matthew 2:2 “Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east and are come to worship him.” (KJV).
It is clear from scripture that the wise men were not guessing, neither were they asking, “has there been any born King of the Jews?” These men had been on a two-year journey, seeking Jesus. You can say that these people were not Christians, you can also say that they were occultic people. Read the rest of this entry
Three Keys
Romans 12:2 “Don’t be so conformed to culture that you fit into it without thinking. Instead, let God transform you by changing the way you think.” (MSG/NLT)
Today, we will delve deeper into the three keys to increase our presence. The first key is, Evaluate The Why Of Your Distractions. Why are you distracted and why do you struggle to be present? What is your why? Psalm 46:10a “Be still, and know that I am God!” Are you struggling to be still? Why? Read the rest of this entry
Distracted?
Luke 10:40-42 “…Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing… But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”
What is distracting you from the throne today? Is it your bank account? Sometimes, it is the busyness of work; you have to get up and go, no time for God. You cannot even carve out time to shut yourself in with God. What is on the stove today? Read the rest of this entry
Only One
Luke 10:41-42 “But the Lord said to her, “Martha, dear friend, you are so upset over all these details! There is really only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it—and I won’t take it away from her!” (LB, emphasis added).
When it comes to our children it is important to realize that we need to ask them questions and engage with them. Guess what? There will come a time when our influence in their lives diminishes. Research shows that a parent typically has nine hundred and thirty-six weeks from birth to influence a child. Read the rest of this entry
