TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
WEDNESDAY, 17TH MAY 2017
TOPIC: THE VOICE OF GOD
SCRIPTURE: 3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters; The God of glory thunders; The Lord is over many waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful; The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars,
Yes, the Lord splinters the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes them also skip like a calf,
Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the Lord divides the flames of fire.
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
The Lord shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth,
And strips the forests bare;
And in His temple everyone says, “Glory!”
- Psalm 29:3-9
MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 33:9
DIGGING DEEP: The Voice of God is unique and totally different from the voice of man and other voice. In essence, God does not speak the way men talks, His vocabulary are different, the effect is deep and very powerful. So lack of access to the voice of God is to be void of power.
The word of God is the container of the voice of God. Access to the word of God terminates every voicelessness in your life. As a privileged servant of the Most High God anything reducing the loudness of your voice in your season and generation i decree it is broken now in Jesus' name. From today your voice will be heard in high and great places.
Our anchor Scripture reveals that the voice of God is over the water (Psalm 29:3) and Ephesians 5:26 says that the water is the word of God. The voice of God is exemplified as thunder. This means that:
i. Thunder comes from above. Since it comes from above; it surpasses all other sounds, it inspires awe, and forces terror on the your adversary.
ii. Whenever the voice of God is expressed ferocious spark of light is revealed: This means that the voice of God lightens us and gives us insight, hindsight and foresight. The voice of God dispels every darkness in our lives, ministry, family and all other areas of our lives. No light, no sight; no sight, no move. Hence the secret behind powerful moves is the voice of God.
Let's observe four powerful effect of the voice of God amongst others:
1. THE VOICE OF GOD IS A BREAKER: "The voice of the Lord breaks..." (Psalm 29:5). There is nothing too hard for the voice of God to break. It means that the voice of God is the transmitter of our breakthroughs. The release of the word breaks barriers and brings breakthrough. I see the voice of God breaking every yoke and obstacles out of your life in the name of Jesus.
2. THE VOICE OF THE LORD IS A DIVIDER: " The voice of the Lord divides..." (Psalm 29:7).The Isrealites where stranded before the red sea and all they probably would have needed was a miraculous large ship that would convey them to the other side of the sea, but God divided it. The voice of God does not only create miracles, it is the miracle. It can divide the red seas before you today. The word of God reached Abram and separated him from generational bloodline delay and curses (Genesis 12:1-3)
3. THE VOICE OF THE LORD IS A SHAKER: "The voice of the Lord shakes..."(Psalm 29:8). There are structures that needs to be shaken off from you. When the foundation of the prison was shaken for Paul and Silas their chains fell off and the doors opened (Acts 16:26).
4. THE VOICE OF THE LORD IS A MAKER: "The voice of the Lord makes..." (Psalm 29:9). It has the capacity to bring into existence things that be not. It creates miracles and surprises. There is always a miraculous product that is delivered when the voice of the Lord shows up. His voice makes the deer to give birth. It means that the voice of the Lord ends barreness of any kind. I speak to you right now any form of barreness in your life is ending today by the voice of the Lord in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord release Your voice into my life and break every satanic yoke upon my life in the name of Jesus.

CONTENT OF POWERFUL PRAYER
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
TUESDAY, 16TH MAY 2017
TOPIC: CONTENT OF POWERFUL PRAYER
SCRIPTURE: 16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit - James 5:16-18
MEMORY VERSE: Luke 4:1-2
DIGGING DEEP: Prayer is powerful in itself because it is an avenue for interacting with the all powerful God.
A powerful prayer is not an intellectually or emotionally crafted or developed prayer. It is one that moves from our lips like a rocket out of the earth's space into the very presence of God and reverberates back to us with answers.
The pursuit of God is never complete without prayer been involved. Prayer is powerful because it is like fuel that keeps our Spiritual engine running. Any believer that is low on prayer is low in power and is noneffective. Prayer turns you into a hot coal and nothing and not even the devil can not dare come around you or touch you anyhow.
Prayer is powerful because it builds in you capacity to wade off temptation. Jesus had just rounded off a long season of prayer and fasting when the devil appeared and all of his tricks and darts was destroy by just a command. This was possible because any prayer warrior is a commander and the more we pray the more powerful our command becomes. This is because prayer builds fire and authority into our words, so that when it is released it melts any stranger around.
Prayer is an an act of watching to keep your life and godly deposit intact from satanic marauding invaders. A watch to squash satans plot to snatch your divine inheritance from you (1 Peter 4:7).
Let's take a look at some contents of powerful prayer amongst others as revealed from our anchor Scripture:
1. Faults are absent from it: Powerful prayer is made from a heart that is not concealing any form of fault against another person. If you don't forgive, you are simply wasting your time praying. To be able to pray and heaven respond, forgiveness must be present. You must not allow unforgiveness to drag you from your answers.
2. Righteousness: For prayer to be powerful it must come from one who has a right standing with God. The more solid you are in the Lord, the quicker your access to Him and the more powerful your prayer (Proverbs 15:29).
3. Fervent: Powerful prayer is fervent. That is, it is full of fire. Fervent prayer is to stretch out, to boil and to be full of zeal. It is a type of prayer that will stretch you out of your comfort zone and cause your heart to be full of zeal for God and your spirit to boil. Hence powerful prayer is one which has the capacity to increase your spiritual temperature.
4. Earnest: Powerful prayer is one that has great spiritual gravity; serious purpose and intent. It is full of all earnestness, reality and actuality (as opposed to jesting or feigned appearance). It has high level fixed determination and eagerness.
Finally, prayer without intent and earnestness is praying and playing. This is why many are praying and their heart is thinking many other things it is a focusless prayer and so can't drive home or produce answers.
I prayer for you today that the energy of God will take over your heart and your mouth so that your prayers will begin to yield fruits in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord, thank you for these keys for powerful prayer. I decree and declare that my prayer begins to carry the fire of the Lord in Jesus' name.

MEETING DIVINE EXPECTATION
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
MONDAY, 15TH MAY 2017
TOPIC: MEETING DIVINE EXPECTATION
SCRIPTURE: The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.
Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it - Mark 11:12-14
MEMORY VERSE: John 15:8
DIGGING DEEP: A Tree is a large plant having branches. It is has evolved in structure and function. Every plant that has evolved into a tree has deep roots, has height, and has width. It is expected of the tree to provide shade from the scorching sun and produce fruits. But the utmost desire of any planter is to see that the tree he has planted, nutured, trimmed and guarded to maturity bears fruit and succor.
Anyone that is born again is the planting of the Lord and is likened to a tree (Psalm 92:12, 58:2, 1:3). And His desire of us is not different, He wants us to grow in depth, in width, in height, and in function (fruit bearing). But sadly today, there are believers who look like it but are not it. They look like they have the word in them but are empty, they look like they are prayerful but are prayerless, they look like they have fruits of the Holy Spirit but have nothing in them. The outside looks it but inside is not it. They just have the form of godliness but no evidence.
Our text reveals that Jesus was hungry and He needed to eat, He saw this plant from afar full of leaves looking as if it has fruits and His expectations was aroused but on getting close to it, there was no fruit and He cursed it immediately. The implication of this is that:
a. God is hungry: God has a desire that only you can meet, an hunger that only you can quench. God is seeking men who will seek Him and bear His fruits on earth (Isaiah 6:8).
b. He has high expectation of you: He trusts that His investment in your life will never be fruitless. He desires that the leaves of righteousness (which is the word of God) in you will translate into the fruits of righteousness (Philippians 1:11).
c. God is angry with mature and unfruitful trees: God has zero tolerance for this class of people these are the set of people in Hebrews 5:12 "By this time you ought to be teachers yourselves, yet here I find you need someone to sit down with you and go over the basics on God again, starting from square one - baby's milk, when you should have been on solid food long ago! describe when you ought to be adult you are still fighting to understand basic truths."
d. To avoid judgement is to be fruitful: To be unfruitful is to be useless to God. Nothing attracts a curse like fruitlessness. If you remain unfruitful, you are unfit for God. He can't feed from you. What does God feed from a fruitful son or daughter? He gets back glory. The more fruitful we are the more glory He gets (John 15:8).
It doesn't matter how long you have known the Lord, how high you have gone (maybe now you are a bishop, a pastor and so on), it doesn't matter how long you have been in Church or how mature you seem to look like, if you don't produce fruits, you are useless to God.
I pray for you today, you will be fruitful in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord everything in me that is making me barren and unfruitful in you take it off me today. Help me to bear fruits unto righteousness in Jesus' name.

AN ISREALITE INDEED
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SUNDAY, 14TH MAY 2017
TOPIC: AN ISREALITE INDEED
SCRIPTURE: 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee - John 1:47-48
MEMORY VERSE: Galatians 3:17
DIGGING DEEP: Your identity is who you truly are when others are not seeing you. It is not your presentation before people only that matters, it is your personality before God that truly counts. God sees you where you are and how you are. He knows where you are right now, He knows your house address, your bank account balance, He knows your name, your descendants and your destination. Simply put that He knows everything about you. But what interest Him the most is your heart.
Our anchor text reveals that when Jesus saw Nathaniel, He said "Behold an Isrealite indeed, in whom there is no guile." It means that one may be a Christian and not be a Christian indeed, one can actually know God and do religion without knowing God indeed. You became a spiritual Isrealite when we became born again (Galatians 3:29). And if you are now truly an Isrealite, what are the proofs that you are an Isrealite indeed?
1. A GOD SEEKER AND A GOD CHASER: Jacob who later became Isreal was a tireless God seeker and God chaser (Genesis 32:28).
2. A DETERMINED GOD PLEASER: Abraham our Father was one who lived his life pleasing the Lord. Pleasing God is living life bringing satisfaction unto God. A person that lives life pleasing God is irritated by the very things that irritates God.
3. THERE IS A COVENANT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD: Covenant is an oath that binds God and man together.
4. CONFESSION AND PROFESSION AGREES: Your conduct and your words match. Integrity is high and no guile or any form of insincerity is found in a true Isrealite.
5. BORN AGAIN AND SEEKING TO FULFIL THE LAWS OF GOD: It is repenting and turning away from sin and following the principles of God to the later.
6. A WORSHIPPER: Every other nation might worship other God's but an Isrealite indeed worship God from His heart. This is the bedrock for daily spiritual cleansing. Because as you worship Him, He washes you.
I pray for you, you will not operate a double standard life in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord, any form of guile in me, i submit it before you, take it away from me in Jesus' name.

POWER IN SMALL BEGINNING
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SATURDAY, 13TH MAY 2017
TOPIC: POWER IN SMALL BEGINNING
SCRIPTURE: "The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches." (Matthew 13:31-32)
"For who has despised the day of small things?" Zechariah 4:9.
MEMORY VERSE: Luke 18:27
DIGGING DEEP: When you don't put into work the things that the Lord has invested into your life, you become a disappointment to the Creator.
In the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30), Jesus exposed that the Lord was totally disappointed by the servant that was given little talent and did nothing with it.
Our text reveals that:
i. Greatness is always hidden in small things
ii. Big impact is possible if the right little seeds are sown.
iii. Small beginnings if not despised can inspire greatness.
Small things if well invested can be transformed into great things. In our world today, many people are in a rush to become great over night, they want their ministry, business and so on to be big. This quest have dragged many into cultism and into many ungodly things.
That is why many are crashing out of greatness. Starting small is paying the price that will sustain your rise.
Importance Of Small Beginnings:
1. Trains you: There is no greatness without training. Small beginnings helps you to rehearse greatness over and over again. David trained in the bush little by little before he could stand Goliath.
2. Builds Solid Foundation: Small beginning helps you to build the foundation for what God has given to you. It gives you time to dig and evaluate. Why many people fail in the pursuit of their God given dream is that they didn't take time out to dig the foundation needed for what they want.
The deeper you dig in your season of small beginning the higher the facility you can build on it and the longer it lasts.
3. Capacity Development: Many faint and get tired in the pursuit of their dream because they lack stamina and capacity to drive on.
4. Character Development: Getting to the top is good but staying there is what matters. Character is the secret of great people because attitude determines altitude. A person who lacks character can not sustain greatness.
5. Planing And Strategy: Proverbs 21:5 "The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance..." This is building technical ability. Strategy gives you energy to push and do things differently.
Greatness is the little seeds planted in the soil of purpose and character.
Do not despise the days of your little beginning. Before the beautiful butterfly emerges, it goes through several stages of transformation, anyone who probably had seen it in the caterpillar phase won't believe that a beautiful thing is brewing up. So it is with greatness, it does not always look like it in the beginning but wait for it, it will speak in the end. Beloved, don't give up on your-dream pursue it. Don't be discouraged to start where you are and as you are. If you wait to start big, you will waste. Don't waste God's investment in your life by been covetous and lazy. Stand up and begin.
Remember better is the end of a matter than the beginning thereof (Job 8:7).
I pray for you, you won't end small in the name of Jesus.
PRAYER: O Lord i destroy every seed of laziness and discouragement that is making me waste divine investment in my life in Jesus' name

TOPIC: POWER IN SMALL BEGINNING
SCRIPTURE: "The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches." (Matthew 13:31-32)
"For who has despised the day of small things?" Zechariah 4:9.
MEMORY VERSE: Luke 18:27
DIGGING DEEP: When you don't put into work the things that the Lord has invested into your life, you become a disappointment to the Creator.
In the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30), Jesus exposed that the Lord was totally disappointed by the servant that was given little talent and did nothing with it.
Our text reveals that:
i. Greatness is always hidden in small things
ii. Big impact is possible if the right little seeds are sown.
iii. Small beginnings if not despised can inspire greatness.
Small things if well invested can be transformed into great things. In our world today, many people are in a rush to become great over night, they want their ministry, business and so on to be big. This quest have dragged many into cultism and into many ungodly things.
That is why many are crashing out of greatness. Starting small is paying the price that will sustain your rise.
Importance Of Small Beginnings:
1. Trains you: There is no greatness without training. Small beginnings helps you to rehearse greatness over and over again. David trained in the bush little by little before he could stand Goliath.
2. Builds Solid Foundation: Small beginning helps you to build the foundation for what God has given to you. It gives you time to dig and evaluate. Why many people fail in the pursuit of their God given dream is that they didn't take time out to dig the foundation needed for what they want.
The deeper you dig in your season of small beginning the higher the facility you can build on it and the longer it lasts.
3. Capacity Development: Many faint and get tired in the pursuit of their dream because they lack stamina and capacity to drive on.
4. Character Development: Getting to the top is good but staying there is what matters. Character is the secret of great people because attitude determines altitude. A person who lacks character can not sustain greatness.
5. Planing And Strategy: Proverbs 21:5 "The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance..." This is building technical ability. Strategy gives you energy to push and do things differently.
Greatness is the little seeds planted in the soil of purpose and character.
Do not despise the days of your little beginning. Before the beautiful butterfly emerges, it goes through several stages of transformation, anyone who probably had seen it in the caterpillar phase won't believe that a beautiful thing is brewing up. So it is with greatness, it does not always look like it in the beginning but wait for it, it will speak in the end. Beloved, don't give up on your-dream pursue it. Don't be discouraged to start where you are and as you are. If you wait to start big, you will waste. Don't waste God's investment in your life by been covetous and lazy. Stand up and begin.
Remember better is the end of a matter than the beginning thereof (Job 8:7).
I pray for you, you won't end small in the name of Jesus.
PRAYER: O Lord i destroy every seed of laziness and discouragement that is making me waste divine investment in my life in Jesus' name

DANGERS OF SPIRITUAL EMPTINESS
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
THURSDAY, 11TH MAY 2017
TOPIC: DANGERS OF SPIRITUAL EMPTINESS
SCRIPTURE: “When the evil spirit goes out of a man it wanders through waterless places looking for rest and never finding it. Then it says, ‘I will go back to my house from which I came.’ When it arrives it finds it unoccupied, but clean and all in order. Then it goes and collects seven other spirits more evil than itself to keep it company, and they all go in and make themselves at home. The last state of that man is worse than the first—and that is just what will happen to this evil generation.”
Matthew 12:43-45 (PHILLIPS)
MEMORY VERSE: Ephesians 4:27
DIGGING DEEP: One of the laws of existence is that there is no vacuum in life. So it applies to the spirit realm, there is never any vacancy. It is either God fills our void or the devil.
When you are not engaging in spiritual activities, you are engaging in something else and gradually, the devil takes over and when he does, things stops working. So having this understanding we must do all we can daily to be full of God.
Todays anchor Scripture reveals two dangers of Spiritual emptiness:
1. Spiritual Emptiness is key to spiritual vulnerability: “When the evil spirit goes out of a man it wanders through waterless places looking for rest and never finding it. Then it says, ‘I will go back to my house from which I came.’ When it arrives it finds it unoccupied, but clean and all in order." The devil is constantly looking for those who are spiritually empty to occupy. What occupies a person reveals the occupation that individual will be engaged in. It simply means that, what occupy you, is what controls you.
2. Spiritual emptiness is the rooy of demonic controls: "Then it goes and collects seven other spirits more evil than itself to keep it company, and they all go in and make themselves at home. The last state of that man is worse than the first." Spiritual emptiness is an invitation to other demons. The enemy always wants to conquer a man. In doing so, they try to gain access into a person and when they do, they want to grind the person to a total halt spiritually.
Spiritual emptiness is a stronghold for controlling spirits. The reason why Judas sold Jesus was not because he lacked money, it was because he didn't deal with controlling spirits hence they grounded his life, ministry and position in Christ.
When you take a critical look at the way you act or do things you will know if you are been controlled by the Spirit of God or something else is controlling your life.
This is the reason we must be deligent and stand against the whiles of the devil; so that we do not give the devil any foothold in our lives [Ephesians 4:27].
Finally, satans foothold is satan's stronghold on a person. Check those things that easily besets you wrestle it off in prayer, the study of the word and fill your heart with the Holy Spirit until you are fully fortified.
I pray for you today, may you be full of God in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord i destroy every demonic stronghold in my life in the name of Jesus.

SERVING GOD-CHASING MEN
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
THURSSDAY, 11TH MAY 2017
TOPIC: SERVING GOD-CHASING MEN
SCRIPTURE: Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, Lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep —John 21:15-17.
MEMORY VERSE: John 3:16
DIGGING DEEP: It does not matter how long you gave your life to God, or how long you have been serving the Lord. It does not matter the positions you have occupied or the things you have done, if you are careless about God and His work, your love for Him will wax cold. Jesus said one of the reasons why the love of many will wax cold is because of iniquity (Matthew24:12). Nothing deletes God's love from the heart of a man like iniquity.
Iniquity is the inner act of willfulness against God. It involves the attitudes of the heart. Iniquity is doing our own will instead of God’s will. It is a stronghold that builds up overtime and it affects our service unto God.
A loveless service is a valueless service. The crash of love results in the crash of service.
Service rendered out of love for God attracts reward. Love is a nonnegotiable requirement for resultful and impactful kingdom service.
When your love for God is effervescent and sporadic then your service will be effective, infective and magnetic.
Many serve God out of demand, serve because someone is there, serve because they want to impress, to be seen, noticed, known or congratulated this is service of futility it holds no ground in the kingdom and hence no kingdom reward is attached to it.
From our text Jesus asked Peter a solemn question "lovest thou me more than these? Peter responded and said that "Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee." And Jesus said unto him, Feed my lambs." From this we understand that:
i. Service unto God is not as important as our relationship with Him.
ii. The heart is more important than the service.
iii. How we serve is a product of how we love the Lord.
When Jesus asked Peter that do you love me? He was inferring to sacrificial love or total commitment. This type of love embraces with all responsiveness by putting self out. In essence, Jesus was asking Peter if he would sacrifice all and give himself completely for Him. But Peter said "you know i love You." Peter was trying to tell Jesus that you remember how i tried to stop them from taking you? You see how i was outspoken about you? He was telling Jesus that you know i am fond of you; have affection; and feelings. This is love based on emotions and feelings. This type of emotion operates the thermostats principle it changes with conditions. It is temporal and has no root. It is love of convienence only.
When you refuse to allow your love for God to be submerged in approval of men, and we don't allow our love to be taken away by other cares of life then our services to God would have impact in heaven and cause supernatural effect on earth.
I pray for you today, your love for God will not be temporal in the name of Jesus.
PRAYER: O Lord help me to love You deeply and wholly in Jesus' name.

CRITERIA FOR THE ANOINTING
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
WEDNESDAY, 10TH MAY 2017
TOPIC: CRITERIA FOR THE ANOINTING
SCRIPTURE: Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil - Ezekiel 16:9
MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 89:20
DIGGING DEEP: God does not anoint until one is thoroughly washed. This implies that the only way to be anointed of the Lord is after you have been truly washed. Absolute consecration and purification is key to the anointing.
It is a fact that God’s vessel's of power and impact must be holy. It is a major requirement for the release of the power of God. You can not be pure and not enjoy the flow of the oil of God.
The biggest enemy of the oil of God on your life is the presence of sin.
Just as you cannot eat from a dirty plate or drink water from a dirty cup so it is with God. God can not use you until He washes you. God does nothing with unclean vessels.
In our text God reveals that it is His function to wash us.
Why is washing so important:
1. Been washed gives us legal right to be a part of God: “Peter, if I don’t wash your feet, you have no part with Me” (John 13:8). Jesus was simply saying here is that: i) If you are not washed, He has no business to transact with you.
ii) If you are not washed, He can't use you.
iii) If you are not washed, He has no position in you.
iv) If you are not washed, you have no share in Him.
If you have no part in God, you have no part in His power. If you have no part in God, heaven can never partner with you.
2. It is a stamp of sanctification: "That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water..." (Ephesians 5:26). Sanctification is key to unction.
3. It is in been washed that our kingship and priesthood manifests (Revelation 1:5-6): Our Kingship and priesthood is authenticated when we are washed.
Our text reveals two level/types of Divine washing:
a. "Then washed I thee with water": This refers to the body of sin been washed.
b. "I throughly washed away thy blood from thee": This is the washing of the nature of sin.
These levels of washing was handled at Calvary and emboldened by our committed walk with God. As we daily genuinely release ourselves into the word and fellowship with God we are constantly washed and we keep attaining perfection.
God does not withhold His oil from the lives of those who have given themselves wholly unto Him. Those who have allowed the nature and the body of sin to be washed away by His word and the blood of Jesus.
Finally, beloved the reason the flow of God's oil is scarce is because worthy vessels are scarce, but i pray for you today, God is washing you and through you there will be an outburst of the anointing of God in measures that has never been seen before in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord cleanse me through and through in Jesus' name.
Lord make my life overflow with your Holy oil. Use me to become a portal for the flow of your fire, revival, anointing to the world in Jesus' name.

MYSTERY OF THE COMMUNION
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
TUESDAY, 9TH MAY 2017
TOPIC: MYSTERY OF THE COMMUNION
SCRIPTURE: And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table - Luke 22:19-21
MEMORY VERSE: 1 Corinthians 11:24-25
DIGGING DEEP: Understanding kingdom mysteries, puts you in command. One of the mysteries of the kingdom is the Communion table. It is not a ritual, it is a blessing. It is a Divine ordinance for Supernatural dominance. The Communion is God’s ordained channel of establishing the validity of the finished work of Christ.
The Communion consists of the body and the blood of Jesus which are symbolized by the bread and the wine.
Firstly, the life of any creature is in the blood (Leviticus 7:11): this means that the blood is what keeps the body from been lifeless (that is to say that a bloodless body is a lifeless body), the blood keeps the body from decay and keeps a person alive and relevant on the earth. In the absence of the blood, a person is a past tense and is termed as 'late'. So in the same vein, the blood of Jesus infuses the very life of God into us. The absence of the blood of Jesus in our lives makes that individual lifeless and spiritually irrelevant. The Communion transmits the life of God into your body.
Secondly, the physical human blood flows to every organ, system and body parts to irrigate it. So when we take the communion, we take in the blood and it flows into your organs and system. If a cancer exists in any they melt away, if any virus, bacteria or even poison exists it is removed.
The blood maintains the integrity of our spiritual and physical body.
Our text further reveals that the Communion brings back alive (rememberance) the power of the victory of Jesus over sin, the devil and all of his activities in the life of man. So when you take the Communion you relive and put shame on the devil in reminding him that over two thousand years ago Jesus paid the price for your victory, deliverance, salvation and liberty.
Also the Communion is a New Testament/Covenant.
Finally, it was at the Communion that Jesus exposed the one who was to betray Him. I believe that as we commune with Him, light is given to us and satanic strategies, schemes and attacks are exposed.
I decree and declare that by the virtue of the Communion, any satanic plot against your life and family are totally exposed in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord I recieve understanding of and I enforce the miraculous power of the Communion today in Jesus' name.

The absence of the blood of Jesus in our lives makes that individual lifeless and spiritually irrelevant. The Communion transmits the life of God into your body.
Secondly, the physical human blood flows to every organ, system and body parts to irrigate it. So when we take the communion, we take in the blood and it flows into your organs and system. If a cancer exists in any they melt away, if any virus, bacteria or even poison exists it is removed.
The blood maintains the integrity of our spiritual and physical body.
Our text further reveals that the Communion brings back alive (rememberance) the power of the victory of Jesus over sin, the devil and all of his activities in the life of man. So when you take the Communion you relive and put shame on the devil in reminding him that over two thousand years ago Jesus paid the price for your victory, deliverance, salvation and liberty.
Also the Communion is a New Testament/Covenant.
Finally, it was at the Communion that Jesus exposed the one who was to betray Him. I believe that as we commune with Him, light is given to us and satanic strategies, schemes and attacks are exposed.
I decree and declare that by the virtue of the Communion, any satanic plot against your life and family are totally exposed in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord I recieve understanding of and I enforce the miraculous power of the Communion today in Jesus' name.

NEW WINE
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
MONDAY, 8TH MAY 2017
TOPIC: NEW WINE
SCRIPTURE: And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles - Mark 2:22
MEMORY VERSE: John 7:38
DIGGING DEEP: A new season is upon the Church there is an heavy release of a fresh flow of God upon mankind, and indeed through men of the God kind. There is an array of army that God is raising in this generation whose passion is to establish the kingdom of God here on earth by the fuelling of the Spirit of God.
The wine is a symbol of the coming of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:8). The disciples where filled with the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost and the people said "these men are full of new wine" (Acts 2:13). If you have not been drunk in Him you haven't been drawn in Him. The new wine is the outpour of the Spirit of God upon us.
Secondly, the new wine is the new covenant established for us by our Lord Jesus. It is moving beyond the law into grace.
So therefore in essence, the new wine is the grace of God and the Spirit of God in our very spirit. When Grace which is the manifold expression of God is empowered by the Holy Spirit we literally become a bulldozer, bringing down stronghold of religion, pulling men out of captivity and liberating them into the kingdom of God. When the new wine exploded in Peter, his power of oratory was amplified and empowered by the flow of the Spirit of God and in one unannounced and unadvertised service a whooping three thousand souls where added unto the kingdom. This outburst of the new wine made them men who turned the world upside down for God.
Job 32:19 says "Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles." It means that when we are filled with the Holy Spirit it will burst out of us. For He says out of us shall burst forth rivers of living water (John 7:38). Those who burst forth are those who are filled. Beloved there is an ability in you that is about to burst by the instrumentality of the Holy Spirit.
HOW TO GET FILLED WITH THE BEW WINE:
1. THIRST: The requirement of been filled is to thirst. Until you are desperate for God, you can't be filled with Him. God does not turn His eyes from those who are sincerely thirsty for Him. Joel 1 :5
2. RENEW: It is dangerous to try and handle Spiritual realities with an uncircumcised heart. New wine has zero tolerance for old vessels. It will destroy it. So if you have identified some hidden sin in you, don't try to play along so people will feel all is well, go to God to renew you. Only new vessels can carry the newness of divine outpour from God.
Finally, the evidence of been filled with the new wine is that your spirit is intoxicated for God. It is high on the Most high. This makes us rugged and unashamed of God and His assignment anywhere and everywhere.
I decree upon you today may heaven pour upon you the Holy Spirit in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord intoxicate me with your love in Jesus' name.

SPIRITUAL DELIGENCE
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SUNDAY, 7TH MAY 2017
TOPIC: SPIRITUAL DELIGENCE
SCRIPTURE: The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat - Proverbs 13:4
MEMORY VERSE: 2 Peter 1:5
DIGGING DEEP: There are believers today who are experiencing power leak and their tubes of spiritual energy is been punctured by the nails of slothfulness and extreme complacency. Beloved, their is no retirement in kingdom assignment or our stand and relationship with God. If your fervency is intact, constant and instant in season and out of season, you will still be on fire for the Lord even till death.
Looking into the life of Apostle Paul for instance you will discover that one of his strong points was that he was spiritually diligent. That was why he admonished that "after you have done all, stand" (Ephesians 6:13) That is to say that never come to a point that you say that you have done enough, that you become content with what God has used you to do. This is a strong way of escaping easy satanic arrows that gun others down cheaply.
Complacency is at the root of many anointed people falling prey to demons and sin.
To be spiritually diligent is to be conscientious or deeply determined or persevere in our walk with God. It means to be focussed, doggedly and ruggedly pursuing and chasing after God.
Our anchor text says that "The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat." This implies that:
1. Spiritual leanness is caused by spiritual laziness.
2. Mere desire is not what produces result: Spiritual sluggards always wish they fasted, prayed, studied. They desire to be mightily used of God, but can't pay the price by dedication. They are full of knowledge, and religion but can't produce fruits. They are only interested in the fruits of righteousness but not in the roots of righteousness.
3. Diligence is key to spiritual fatness: Spiritual heavyweights are always diligent people.
You cannot be spiritually diligent and be spiritually indigent. By this i mean you can't be spiritually diligent and not be prosperous spiritually. The more diligent you are with God, the more He pours grace, virtue, anointing and lots more into you. Joshua was diligent, when Moses died he stepped into leadership, same with Elisha he was diligent when Elijah departed the mantle for double impact rested upon him.
Finally, nothing destroys grace like the lack of diligence. Noah found grace in the sight of God, and so received divine instruction to build the ark, he did it by been diligent.
Today you can achieve any height in God, you can operate in any dimension you desire, you can do the miraculous and so on, only if your desire can be mixed with diligence.
I pray for you that complacency and sluggishness is broken now in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord deliver me from every form of spiritual laziness in Jesus' name.
