TOPIC: THE GIVER SCRIPTURE: "Give and it shall be given unto you..." - Matthew 7:7 There are laws that govern life and if you must enjoy and function to your full capacity you must learn to apply these laws. From the anchor Scripture it is clear that reciving is tied to giving. I call it the giving and recieving cycle. Your giving always unlocks recieving. Think of it, how many people have given you gifts this year? How many people have you given gifts this year? Giving is like breathing for anyone to live, you must breathe in and out. In medicine whenever a person can only take in air and not breathe out life is at risk and highly threatened. Life can end when one only take in oxygen and refuse to give out carbondioxide. That is how it is with giving. Anyone who does not like to give is attacking and reducing capacity to recieve. Life is not for hoarders but for declutterers. People who carry 'have it all' mentality can never have it. Those who also have ...

FORGIVENESS The beauty of the body (the Church) lies in the power of forgiveness. Look at it this way everyone that is born again is someone whose sins were forgiven. So what made you saved is forgiveness and what will keep you saved is forgiveness. That is why Jesus commanded that forgiveness should be a continuum. Matthew 18: 21-22 "Then came Peter to him, abd said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and i should forgive him? Till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seventy." In medical term Jesus was giving a subscription saying forgiveness should be ad libitum. READ More: Matthew 18 23-35. Three things to note about forgiveness 1. It is the nature of God 2. It is the platform from which mercy flows 3. It is the power that connects you to the fruit of the spirit (peace and joy) 4. It is Gods way of handling human to human relationship and God to man relationship crisis. A healthy spi...

TOPIC: KNOW THE TRUTH SCRIPTURE: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free - John 8:32 KEY THOUGHT: God's word is divine revelation for your revolution. From todays' anchor Scripture it is confirmed that freedom is possible when the truth is known. It means that deliverance is tied to the knowledge of the truth. What is the truth? The Bible in John 14:6, Jesus says "I am the way, the truth and the life..." So Jesus is the truth. You must know Him to get freedom. To know here is to come to an experiential manifestation of His personality. It is to develop a peesonal relationship with Christ. It is to come into deep revelation of the truth. It is not to cram or have head knowledge of Christ. Because that is where many people are now. They know Him by history and not by real time. The danger of knowing the truth based on head knowledge and not by revelation is/are: 1. You will be familiar with the truth: Many are so familiar with Go...

TOPIC: LIKE GRASSHOPPERS SCRIPTURE : And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in pur own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight - Numbers 13:33 KEY THOUGHT : Who are you and where you? Let me tell you that the appearance of a person is in what they think of themselves. The way you see yourself in your mind that is who you are.  But there is a greater influence of how your mind operates and that is the influence it creates on your character and attitude. Your behaviour is the flow of your internal person to the outside. From today's anchor Scripture we see a people who say they are like grasshoppers and truly there are people today who are like grasshoppers because that is their mentality. What is/are the features of this kind of people? 1. Mimicry: The grasshopper personality functions this way. What does this mean or what is the implication? a. It means or implies that you are never original : You are unique ...

TOPIC: THE POWER OF INTERCESSION SCRIPTURE: Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was childless. The LORD answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became pregnant- Genesis 25:21 KEY THOUGHT : Intercession triggers intervention. Fact is there are issues in our lives that might remain unless there is an intervention. There are things that might never change unless another man speaks on your behalf. When men who have spiritual authority speaks over your life there must be a change. Isaac a prodigy of Abraham, an heir of the blessing and a carrier of God's irrevoacable generational covenant had barreness in his house. His wife couldn't take in then he went before the Lord to pray and talk to God on her behalf. I am sure he said if barreness attacked my mother, it can't survive in my house. The king James Bible stated that "Isaac entreated of the Lord for his wife for she was barren."  The implication of Rebecca been barren was enormous...

TOPIC: WHY DID JESUS PERFORM MIRACLES? SCRIPTURE : This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him - John 2:11 KEY THOUGHT : The move of God births glory. There are times we wonder why Jesus would do something and not do another even though He has power of all. Beloved God's answers for some of your questions can be an out right No. Many want God to always give them the yes answer. Mary the mother of Jesus asked the Lord for a miracle. Jesus literally said No and gave an excuse for it. But i believe Jesus gave a second thought and connected to the workings of the Father in the realm of the Spirit. When He got the green light from the throne of grace; Jesus did a miracle. I share six (6) powerful points with you on why Jesus performed that miracle and i believe it is applicable to you today. 1. To show obedience to His earthly mother : Jesus did it to set a template and an example for us. There a...

TOPIC: CONTENTS OF THE THOUGHT OF GOD SCRIPTURE: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end - Jeremiah 29:11 KEY THOUGHTS: Deep thoughts reflects the depth of a person It has been confirmed that your true person is hidden in your thoughts. If a person is good his thoughts will be good and if a person is bad his thoughts will navigate around thinking evil. It will also follow that deep thoughts are products of deep minds. Shallow minds think shallow things. Deep minds draw out gold and every precious things but shallow minds pull up dust. From our anchor Scripture it is established that our God thinks. God said that "I know the thoughts that i think..." that means I am in charge of my thoughts, or i control my thoughts. There are many today who don' t understand the kind of thoughts that come to their mind. They have tried to gain control over their thoughts but yet what they ...

TOPIC: DEVELOPING WORSHIP CULTURE SCRIPTURE : Praise the Lord, my soul;all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Psalm 103:1 | NIV KEY THOUGHT : Fruitful worship is one filled with God. In microbiology culture is a specially prepared environment which contains every nourishing for a microorganism to grow on. So worship culture is a spiritually prepared enviromment on which our spirit attitude, and way of  and relationship with God can grow. It contains ingredients that supports the growth of spiritual experience. How can one develop a worship culture or how can one genearate a tense atmosphere that is totally charged up with the power of God? 1. Learn how to be soaked deep in worship : Worship is an act that is learnt by worshipping. You can learn one or two by studying the lifestyle of people who are addicted to worshipping God; but it is enhanced by doing it yourself. You must set aside times to worship God. 2. Come with revelation : One powerful drive force of worsh...

TOPIC: THE KNOCKER SCRIPTURE: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me - Revelation 3:20 KEY THOUGHT: Godly reminders are necessary to be in alignment with God. From our anchor Scripture we see Jesus been introduced to us as the Knocker. Knocking involves making a sound so as to create attention and awareness. This is a supernatural sound made in the realm of the spirit to get the attention of our spirit and soul. In the realm of the spirit there are protocols and order. God is never disorderly in what He does. There is a way God approaches people and there is a way the devil approaches people. Because the devil is a thief, he will always bump into men but not God. Although God created us, He still has to knock and wait to be invited in before He enters into our hearts. He still values your will. Even though He created the space in your heart for Himself, He still doesn...

TOPIC: KNOWING THE NEXT MOVE OF GOD SCRIPTURE : And the Lord said: Can I hide from Abraham what I am about to do - Genesis 18:17 KEY THOUGHT: God longs for a man to reveal His next move and plans to. There are people who have insight into what God is to do next. Bible says that there were some people called the children of Isaachar they were unique and different from others in that they had understanding of times, they understood what God wants them to do now, their capacity to pick up the minutest details of what is in the heart Divinity is amazing. How awesome it is to know what God wants you to do next, where to go next, what not to do next and know what God wants to do with you next. It is a realm of uncommon instructions and revelations. A realm of zero ignorance about the things of the Spirit. This is the secret to victory and unusual impact. Our anchor Sripture reveals that for Abraham God does not hide His intentions from Him. And we can deduce that there are people m...

TOPIC: LORD: THAT COVERS THE NAKEDNESS OF MEN SCRIPTURE: Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them - Genesis 3:21 KEY THIUGHT: With You Lord i can be naked and have no shame, with You Lord i can be open and have no shame. In Gen. 2:25 Scriptures said that "They were both naked and were not ashamed." This was when man was in a right relationship with God. This means that no one can hide your nakedness like God. It is better to be naked before God, because so long it was before the Lord they were naked there was no shame. Beloved there are secrets about people that is woth God and no man knows but if that secret os with the devil he will ensure to put that person in shame. What am i saying that when you are in God He corrects your mistakes and swallows it up. That is why Scriptures says that when you repent God does not remember your sins any longer, the blood of Jesus blots ot away. When the devil tricked man into sin, man f...

OCTOBER 10, 2018 TOPIC: HUMAN PROBLEMS AND THE CURE WRITTEN BY DR. JOEL DABBAS SCRIPTURE: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised - Luke 4:18  KEY THOUGHT : Whereever there is a problem, the word is needed. In Isaiah 55:11 says, "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." This means the word of God is a spiritual agent on a Supernatural assingment. John 1:14 says that "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." The word was translated into a physical entity containing two powerful spiritual ...

OCTOBER 9, 2018 TOPIC: PRINCIPLES AND PROCESS OF BEARING SPIRITUAL FRUITS Written by Dr. Joel Dabbas SCRIPTURE: Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much FRUIT - John 12:24 KEY THOUGHT : God wants you to move beyond been a seed to become a fruit After you gave your life to Christ, the incorruptible seed of God was planted in you.   1 Peter 1:23 says that “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. “ This seed gave you a new nature; Gods nature. The truth is that it is beautiful to have the seed of God in you but that is not enough. God wants you and I to convert that seed into fruits. God desires us to be fruitful not only physically but spiritually. God values fruitfulness  because that is the only way to confirm that your life has His seed. It is the only way to proof to the world and...

October 6th 2018 TOPIC: PRODUCTS OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD SCRIPTURE: "The fear of the Lord is to hate evil . . ." —Proverbs 8:13 KEY THOUGHT: The absence of the fear of the Lord breeds disorderliness It is confirmed that the fear of the Lord is the respect for God and His words. It is deep reverence for God. It is not fear because of His judgement but fear brewed out of aweful love for Him. It is a heart and life shaped into honouring God wholly. In this age, it is apparent that many have lost fear for God. Anywhere the fear of God is abundant true relationship with God can be confirmed. What are the products of the fear of the Lord? 1. Foundation for wisdom: Proverbs 9:10 says, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Anywhere the fear of the Lord is absent foolishness rules but where it is present wisdom is at its peak. 2. Long life: Proverbs 10:27 says, "The fear of the LORD prolong...

October 5th 2018 TOPIC: THE SECRET OF THE ANOINTING SCRIPTURE: Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. – Psalms 45:7 KEY THOUGHT: The Anointing raiser of men Anointing is the communicator of grace. It is the confirmation of divine presence. From todays anchor text we know that the anointing can lift a person above. It gives you competitive advantage, it gives you an edge above others. It simply means that an anointed life will have nothing to do with smallness, mediocirty and low levels. It simply will elevate from grass to grace. For example, David was dispised by his brethren and was confirned to the bush. He had nothing to do outside there but when the anointing came upon him he was taken from the bush to the palace. The anointing always comes with a price; today let's examine two: 1. Love Righteousness: If you must have anything to do with God, if God must pour His oil...

TOPIC: GOD OUR WAYMAKER SCRIPTURE:  16 Thus saith the  Lord , which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; 17  Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow. 18  Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 19  Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert -  Isaiah 43:16-19   King James Version (KJV) KEY THOUGHT: With God you can never be stranded in life. One Name of God is WAYMAKER.  What does it mean that God is a WAYMAKER? 1. It means that God gives and creates opportunities 2. It means that God is involved in constructions 3. It means that with God there is no waylessness 4. It means that with God there is nothing like the road has ended 5. It mean...

TREASURES OF GRACE WRITTEN BY DR. JOEL DABBAS TOPIC: DRESS WELL SCRIPTURE: The King's daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is interwoven with gold. She will be led to the King in embroidered work; The virgins, her companions who follow her, Will be brought to You |  Psalm 45:13-14 It is often said that the way you dress equals the way you will be addressed. Nothing reflects the personality of a person like the way he is dressed. Dressing is a major part of the culture of any kingdom. As citizens of God's kingdom we also must dress to reflect the culture of our King. The text Scripture makes us understand that: a. Our dressing has a correlation with the glory we have inside: "The King's daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is interwoven with gold..." There is a glory upon your life and so the way we dress reflects how much we value that glory. Have you ever wondered that after you wore a cloth you have had for a long time, people w...

TREASURE OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL) WRITTEN BY DR. JOEL DABBAS TOPIC: LORD I MAKE YOU MY HABITATION SCRIPTURE: Because thou hast made the LORD,  which is  my refuge,  even  the most High, thy habitation - Psalm 91:9 KEY THOUGHT: God must become your habitation not your visitation Your relationship with God will determine your revelation of God. What you can draw from God is hinged on if you are close or distant from Him. There are people who visit God only on weekly basis, some it is only on christmas day, others it is only when they have problems thet come to Him. The closer you are to God the more you enjoy His touch. In our anchor text, David stated a type of relationship with God. He said that God is his habitation. That means God is my shelter, my apartment. It literally means that i live inside God. My residency is in Him. It is saying that it is in God i live, move and have my beign. It is a level that everything about you is traceable in God. ...
