SEEKING GOD: KEY TO PROSPERITY

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SUNDAY, 28TH MAY 2017

TOPIC: SEEKING GOD: KEY TO PROSPERITY

SCRIPTURE: And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper - 2 Chronicles 26:5

MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 6:33

DIGGING DEEP: It is unfortunate that many today are not committed to God as it ought to be. People's priority is money making, career development and so on.  The least time they have for God is for some sort of 'beggarly prayer requests' such as "God give me this, God give me that." That is why many today do not experience the dynamic power of God. If you are not committed to God you are technically ommitting yourself from His blessings. Let me re-emphasize it again, if you can't be committed to God, you are ommitted from His blessings.

Why is it important to seek God wholeheartedly?
1. It keeps your whole functioning for God: When your whole heart is seeking and yearning for God, serving God won't be an issue for you.

2. It keeps you from compromise and falling: When you are totally preoccupied with looking for God, you can't be looking for avenues to sin.

3. It gives you root in God: Seeking God is key to your growth in God.

4. Those who look for God don't struggle for things: God pays the bills of those who seek Him earnestly because God delights in the prosperity of His servants (Psalm 35:27, Matthew 6:33).

5. Seekers are seers: you can't seek God and not see God. When you see God, you encounter His personality and the essence of His person rubs off on you.

There is a link between a prosperous life and serving God. Seeking God plants you in the realm of endless prosperity. Devotion unto God gives elevation in life.
Our anchor Scripture speaks of king Uzziah that "... as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper." This king made the search for God His topmost priority and it resulted in all around prosperity.
Prosperity is Gods own agenda for His people. To seek God is to live in ceaseless prosperity but not to seek Him is to be registered in poverty. But this won't be your portion in Jesus' name.
Finally, show God how committed you are to Him by your lifestyle of giving. Give Him your life, time, resources and energy, put God first in everything you do and i bet you, you will begin experience Divine attention and prosperity like you have never known before.

PRAYER: O Lord give me unquenchable appetite and desire of seeking after the things of Your kingdom everyday of my life in Jesus' name.

IMPACT MAKERS

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SATURDAY, 27TH MAY 2017

TOPIC: IMPACT MAKERS

SCRIPTURE: And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper - 2 Chronicles 26:5

MEMORY VERSE: John 21:25

DIGGING DEEP: Do you know that there is a relationship between impact you make and time?
Do you know that if you live out your Divine abilities so well, even time will feel the impact? Scripture revealed that  "And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God..." Here Zechariah's impact was so pronounced that even God forgot the year and called it "the days of Zechariah." It is possible to be so impactful that what all men remember is the times of your life and when they want to talk, they use your impact as the refference point.  Before Christ came time was mentioned in refference to the flood. But Jesus had such an everlasting impact so much that time was changed. Time before Jesus  was affected and it is called B.C meaning before Christ and time after Him is called A.D after Christ hence Christ became the centre point linking times, seasons, and dispensations together. Without Christ time is timeless, useless and valueless.
Jesus came into the world showcasing the power, abilities, authority and wisdom of God, this changed the course of time. The impact Jesus made was so voluminous that no book on earth can record the exploits exploits He made while on earth.
Christ's impact was so powerful that time and age can never forget.
Beloved there are people who creates history and the world cannot forget them.
Character of impact makers:

1. They have something to deliver: Relevance is not an article you buy, it is a product of an impactful living. Anytime you stop giving to your world you stop living. To make impact you must know what you carry inside of you and give it out to your world. Jesus knew it and said "I am the light of the world" (John 9:5). It's over two thousand years now and that light is still shining on earth.

2. Living with time consciousness: Impact makers are not time wasters. Impact makers don't mark time, they make mark on time. John 9:4 Jesus the greatest impact maker of all time said "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work." Beloved if necessity is not known carelessness becomes the order of the day and wrecklessness and wastage becomes the product.

3. Driven with the force of urgency and purpose: There is an urgency in the realm of the spirit even nature and creation is waiting for our manifestation to impact. Men of impact have untiring restlessness and passion to fulfill what God has given to them.

4. God own it mentality: There is no gift, calling, mantle and so on that wasn't given to you by God. Leaving God out of what you are now is like cooking without fire. It is not only a waste of time but the finished product will never materialize.
Life is a championship that produces champions. Knowing and living for God enrolls you into the dynasty of champions. Making impact makes you a champion celebrated on earth and in eternity.

5. Take the risk: To make impact you must take the risk. Esther said "if i perish, i perish" (Esther 4:16). Take on it by faith because your faith determines your fate.
Beloved, it is time to pick up that dream, that ministry, that assignment, given to you by God and make full proof of it.
Finally, Zechariah's gift was understanding of Divine visions, he lived it to the full and generated impact. Don't make excuses take up your gift and maximize.
As a privileged servant of God, i decree that wisdom to generate impact is released upon you now in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: O Lord, i recieve grace to make uncommon impact in Jesus' name.

FINDING GOD

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
FRIDAY, 26TH MAY 2017

TOPIC: FINDING GOD

SCRIPTURE: And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart - Jeremiah 29:13

MEMORY VERSE: Deuteronomy 4:29

DIGGING DEEP: The birth of Jesus brought God to man, infact Jesus is called Emmanuel meaning God is with us. The truth is that God is still very much with us as He was in that earthly human body, but the fact is that, not too many people have found Him yet. The reason why it looks hard to see/find God is because seekers are scarce. To see the manifestations and the move of God we must take out time to seek Him.
Laws of seeking: 
FIRST LAW: Necessity determines what you do: The first thing that drives you to go after God is knowing that He is the only one you ever needded. Realization is key to actualisation. Beloved, how you spend your time and your money reveals what you are truly seeking after.  
SECOND LAW: God's attention is drawn to you if the attention you give to Him is undivided: Nothing blocks God from you when you are totally focussed at Him. He is magnified in the life of those whose eyes are focussed on Him.
THIRD LAW: Our desperacy will provoke how expressly He fills us: Thirst is the prove that water is needed, and this drives you to get filled with water. The higher your thirst the more the drive to take in water. The stronger your thirst for God, the stronger your drive to have Him. So the more we thirst for God the more He fills us up. The more He fills us the more we want Him.
FOURTH LAW: If you seek you will find: Seekers are the one's that have encounters and discover the deep things of God. The more you seek Him the greater and deeper your dimension. What we find God to be in our lives is proven by how we seek Him.
FIFTH LAW: The litmus test for our search is our heart: Your heart is your life, so seeking God with your heart means seeking God with your life.
It moves you from the realm of religion into true relationship with God. It pulls you from merely been familiar with God to be intimate with Him. It is a God-seeking heart that initiates koinonia (intimacy and partnership) with God. It is what drives us into deep communion with God. I have come to understand that nothing empowers communication like communion. The more you commune with God the more He talks to you. The more He talks with you,  the better you know Him. The more you do what He tells you, the more you find Him.
Finally, knowing God is key to finding God. Let your drive each day be that "i want to know You Lord."
I pray for you today, recieve an unquenchable hunger for the things of God in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: O Lord baptise me with unquenchable hunger for You in Jesus' name.

ANOINTING FOR DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
THURSDAY, 25TH MAY 2017

TOPIC: ANOINTING FOR DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

SCRIPTURE: And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about - Luke 4:14

MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 10:27

DIGGING DEEP: In the first thirty years of Jesus' earthly life,  nothing much was heard of Him, there was no miracles, nothing to show that He is indeed Supernatural. He had no influence until the heaven opened, He was anointed of the Holy Spirit and God had to announce Him.  Luke 4:35  "And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him." From that day anywhere He went, He was doing good, impacting lives; people and systems started listening to Him.
Divine announcement is:
i. God advertising your talents, your giftings and abilities to your world.
ii. It is God's glory rising upon you.
iii. It is God picking you from the back to the front.
iv. It means God lifting you so that all will see you.
v. Divine announcement is God giving you honour erradicating shame and bringing you to prominence.
vi. Divine Announcement means God manifesting His glory through you so that the World may see and receive His Love, Hope and Peace.
We are in a time and age that God wants to announce His people and that is why He has given us His Spirit (the anointing). The presence of the Holy Spirit announces you but when He is absent you dwell in obscurity. Notice two things when the Holy Spirit (who is the anointing) comes upon you:
a. Heaven over your life, your ministry, your family and so on will be opened.
b. You will expressly hear the Lord speaking to you and advertising you to the world.
Some signs that one is operating in obscurity:
1. Working without shining.
2. When you keep putting in your best but no one notices it.
3. When what God has placed in you is big but you cannot break into the point that it blesses people.
4. When you live life in a cycle and cannot break off a particular limit.
5. When you live life without evidence/proof.
6. Effort without any corresponding result.
7. When the gifts and abilities God has given you is appreciated, recieved or wrongly percieved, not valued and treated as thrash or unimportant by those it should be blessing.
8. It is been full of grace but yet no one notice it.
Nothing eliminates the forces of obscurity like the anointing.
Our anchor Scripture says that "And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about." Beloved Jesus returned with the anointing and His ministry began to spread, His works began to spread. Obscurity was broken and His relevance was released.
I speak into your life today you work will recieve evidence, chains of obscurity is broken in the name of Jesus.

PRAYER:  O Lord i break every siege of obscurity over my destiny, career, giftings and talents in the name of Jesus.

PROVOKING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ANOINTING.

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
WENESDAY, 24TH MAY 2017

TOPIC: PROVOKING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ANOINTING.

SCRIPTURE: But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face - Matthew 6:17

MEMORY VERSE:  Isaiah  61:1

DIGGING DEEP: The anointing is a special endowment of the Holy Spirit.  2 Corinthians 1:21 states that, "Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and established the guarantee with the Spirit in our hearts." This reveals three important things:
a. HAVING CHRIST GIVES ACCESS TO THE ANOINTING: Christ means the  anointed one and His anointing, our relationship with Christ is what brings us to the realm of the anointing. You can't have Jesus and not carry and manifest the anointing.
As it were, having Jesus the anointed one makes  you a conduit for His power. When you walk in the anointing you have power, and express the supernatural.
b. THE HOLY SPIRIT HELPS YOU TO MAINTAIN THE ANOINTING: "...who also has sealed us and established the guarantee with the Spirit in our hearts."
c. GOD IS THE ONE ANOINTING MEN: ""Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God..."
The power of God is in your life but how can it be stirred up, provoked or get it working?
1. Living To Please God: Any life that can attract God will attract the anointing. If God is faraway from you, His anointing will be faraway from you.
If you retain and maintain a Holy life, you will in all assurance manifest the anointing. Living a righteous life provokes the anointing (Hebrews 1:9)
2. High Density Prayer Life: There is a link between the anointing and prayer. Prayer puts you in the presence of God and you can't stay around God and not be anointed. For instance Lucifer stayed in the presence of God and became the anointed cherub (Ezekiel 28:14). Prayer sets up Supernatural wireless connection between you and the Lord and stirs within you the energy of God.
3. High Density Worship: Wherever pure worship exists the Holy Spirit will come. So if you become saturated with worship you will provoke the flow of the anointing.
4. High Level Of Spiritual Hunger: The level of your hunger for the anointing will determines the extent to which you will be filled with the oil of God.
5. Kingdom Service: When we serve God diligently and faithfully He literally empties Himself into you. For example Moses was busy in serving his father in-law and the mantle of deliverance was giving unto him. David was totally consumed in serving. He stayed in the bush taking care of his father's flock, so it was for  Saul, he was moving from place to place in search of his father's lost donkey's when the oil was released upon them. If you can be sold out in our Fathers assignment, we will cheaply walk in the anointing. You don't deserve Powerful things like the anointing until you serve Him totally.
6. Allow The Holy Spirit: He is the anointing upon us today if we restrict Him to flow we won't experience the tangibility of the anointing.
7. Anointing Can Be Provoked By Mercy, And Compassion: Whenever Jesus come across people who are in need of healing, he had mercy and compassion upon them which then triggers the unction for healing. So also if we have deep seated compassion for  people it will open the oil upon you to reach their lives with the beauty of God.
Finally, our anchor Scripture shows us a connection between fasting and the oil. You cannot be dedicating yourself to fasting and seeking God's face and not operate in the  anointing.
I pray for you begin to operate in supernatural dimensions in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: O Lord stir up your oil in me in Jesus' name.

NECESSITY OF THE ANOINTING: PROVOKES FAVOUR

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
TUESDAY, 23RD MAY 2017

TOPIC: NECESSITY OF THE ANOINTING: PROVOKES FAVOUR .

SCRIPTURE: 13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
17 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the Lord is with him.
21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.
22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight. ~ 1 Samuel 16:13, 17-18, 21-22


MEMORY VERSE:  Proverbs 16:15

DIGGING DEEP: The anointing is the power of God in your life. The anointing is the presence and ambience of God in your life that makes you different from the crowd. There is nothing has potent and powerful like the anointing. The anointing moves you from where you are now to where God wants you to be.You can't be anointed and your destiny is stagnant or boxed into a corner.
Our anchor Scripture reveals that  Samuel came into the house of Jesse just to bring the anointing upon David and this turned the story of David's life around forever. Three things happening in the life of David before the anointing came upon him.
a. He was left alone in the bush: Most highly anointed men and women of God are always abandoned in the first instance. So was David, he was abandoned.
b. He was not recognized in his family: He wasn't recognized to the point that he wasn't even called for the meeting with the prophet.
c. No one including his father believed in his destiny: so while others where been trained in other skilled areas of life to become great army commanders, no one saw his dream, no one believed in his abilities but was kept in the bush to only take care of animals.
But when the oil found him,  even his father stood up for him until he was brought before the prophet to be anointed.
After the oil came upon David favour opened up for him. The oil qualified him to takeover from the point others (Saul) fell over. This anointing  gave him acceptance when others weren't rejected, he was celebrated and achieved uncommon fit at a very young age.
Beloved, the anointing upon you equals favour on your life. The anointing puts favour upon you. David was the last child in Jesse's family but favour distinguished him from others.
The oil gave him favour before King Saul and he was promoted to becoming his armour bearer.
Finally, the oil of favour can change the seasons of your life. It was the anointing that gave Ruth favour before Boaz. I decree that by favour your God's ordained spouse is locating you, by favour you are going to receive unimaginable breakthroughs today in the name of Jesus.

PRAYER: O Lord put on me the oil of favour in Jesus' name.

QUOTE: When favour is upon you, you might be the last but you will outclass the others - Dr. Dabbas Joel

NECESSITY OF THE ANOINTING: PROVOKER OF SPEED

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
MONDAY, 22ND MAY 2017

TOPIC: NECESSITY OF THE ANOINTING: PROVOKER OF SPEED.

SCRIPTURE: And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing - Isaiah 10:27

MEMORY VERSE: 1 Kings 18:46

DIGGING DEEP: The anointing is the power of God upon you, it energizes, empowers and engraces you to be all that God has planned for you to be in this life. It is also the presence of God in your life. Beloved, there is a connection between the anointing and your speed in life. The rate at which you do things and how fast they all play out in your life is important to how you get to the destination God as earmarked for you.
We understand from our anchor Scripture that one of the major significance of the anointing is to remove burdens and destroy yokes off your life.
Burden is an heavy load and it has the capacity of weighing you down. While yoke is a link, a connection or something that you are joined  or united unto and it has the capacity of controlling you.
There are ties and relationships that have become  satanic and have become yokes instead of being a blessing to our lives. This remote controls your life and destiny hence reducing your speed in life and destiny.
Likewise, there are burdens on people that  puts them down perpetually so that  they cannot lift up their heads: but as a previledged servant of God any burden on your life, be it the burden of curses, fruitlessness, empty-handedness, sickness, marital delay, disfavor, sin and any form of burden on you limiting your speed and advancement in life and destiny it is lifted off your shoulders today in Jesus' name. Listen beloved the presence of the anointing makes you lighter to pursue your dreams, vision and divine mandates on your life.
Acts 10:38 states it clearly that "God anointed Jesus Christ of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power who went about doing good..." 
How does the anointing provokes or gives you speed to fulfill destiny:
1. ENERGIZES YOU: "...went about doing..." it means that the anointing upon you will energize you to begin to move and do what you have been given by God to fulfill in your generation.
2. EMPOWERS YOU FOR UNCOMMON PERFORMANCE: "...who went about doing good..."
How you perform in life is connected with the  anointing. The anointing upon you stirs you to begin to look for what to do and place in you the desire to do. In effect you cannot be carrying the anointing and be lazy or don't have what to do. Beloved if you have the  anointing, you won't lack what to do.
3. IT LIFTS OFF OBSTRUCTIONS: There are barriers planted on your path to stop you from reaching your divine  goal. But when the anointing is released, it melts away any satanic obstruction and embargo on your path.
4. IT GIVES YOU POWER TO DARE: You can't be anointed and you sit with folded legs and hands in your comfort zone. The anointing pulls you off that relaxed position and destroys that lackadaisical approach to life and your purpose.
The anointing was what was driving Jesus everywhere placing  restlessness and urgency on Him, until He fulfilled His assignment. When it came upon Jesus in three and a half years He was done with His assignment. It gave Him speed.
Beloved, if you open up to the anointing, you will begin to also discover that speed is given to you to accomplish all of your divine assignment in a  grand style in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: Father! By the import of the anointing, every yoke and burden limiting my speed to fulfilling destiny is broken now in Jesus' name.

QUOTE:  The anointing does not make you broke, it brakes every yoke - Dr. Dabbas Joel

THE POWER OF PURITY

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SUNDAY, 21ST MAY 2017

TOPIC: THE POWER OF PURITY 

SCRIPTURE: Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment - Ecclesiastes  9:8

MEMORY VERSE: Psalms  45:7

DIGGING DEEP: Purity is the provoker of God's power! It is a major criteria for the anointing. There is no one that is pure that won't carry the anointing  or be used by God. Because purity is the personality of God. Impurity is what turns the unction from anointing into annoying thing. Saul's anointing became an annoying thing because of impurity and disobedience (1 Samuel  16:14).
In other words, the usefulness of anything depends upon its purity. No impure life ever attracts Divine outpour.
There are two dimensions of the Holy Spirit upon us: which are the outpour and the downpour. God pours out Himself into us and this brings alive the Supernatural abilities of God in us (Joel  2:28-29), but the downpour of the Holy Spirit is an heavier and high density outburst of the Spirit of God upon us (Isaiah  32:15), so much so that we are drawn away and totally drunk in Him. That was what happened at Pentecost (Acts 2). They where all drunk and drawn away. These two dimensions are never possible if we have any form of impurity in us.
Our anchor Scripture reveals powerful secret to the anointing "Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment" this means that:
a. There is a vital connection between your state with God and His outpour and downpour on your head: Sin brings cracks in your relationship with God. And if there is a crack in our vessel, there will certainly be a lack of oil upon you. If you don't stop sinning, sin will stop every of God's good in your life.
b. The moment your garment is no longer white, you cannot have oil on your head.
All through the Scriptures, we see that "oil" signifies the Holy Spirit - His gifts and graces. Make it  a responsibility to keep the oil of the Holy Spirit in your life always.
Also, follow the example of the Lord Jesus in that He "...lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness." Then this was what He got! "God, thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows." Psalms  45:7
Remember to always walk with unforgettable consciousness of the oil upon you by keeping yourself pure.
 .
PRAYER: O Lord, I receive grace to always maintain the anointing I am previledged to receive from you in Jesus' name.
I ask for the outpour and downpour of grace upon me like never before in Jesus' name.

COMPONENTS OF MIRACLES

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SATURDAY, 20TH MAY 2017

TOPIC: COMPONENTS OF 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

MEMORY VERSE: Psalm  77:14

DIGGING DEEP: Miracles are the manifold move of God. It has nothing to do with our abilities or capacities, it is the effect of the finger of God.
Miracles are the manifestations of the work of God (John 9:3). It means that any act of God produces miracles.

Being born again makes you a child of God and puts you in the class of those meant to experience a daily load of the miraculous (Psalms  68:19). The miraculous is the lifestyle of God's children, it is a cheap commodity of the righteous.
Miracles is God doing for you the things that are impossible, and the things that money cannot buy.

Even today miracles are as real as in the days of Jesus. All it takes is obediently walk in His instructions and you will become a living wonder.

What are the main components of a miracle?

1. THE GLORY OF GOD: "...manifested forth his glory..." The expression of the glory of God produces miracles. Anyone who is interested in experiencing the glory of God will always enjoy the miraculous. Anyone that  doesn't take God's glory will always reveal God's glory. The glory of God is the nature, ambiance, splendor and beauty of God. The more we seek for God the more he beautifies our lives with miracles.

2. BELIEVE: "... and his disciples believed on him." One  stimulant of believe is the miraculous. It is a cheap way to tell the world who God is and win them to God. Miracles also solidifies out hope and faith in God. It gives you proof that God is alive and still does wonders.

Finally, from our anchor Scripture we understand that any miracle that emphasizes and celebrate the vessel (man) rather than God is dangerous, any miracle that does not bring glory back to God is fake and miracles that does not build your faith and believe in God is not a miracle but magic.
As God's previledged servant I decree that you will experience miracles today.

PRAYER: O Lord baptise me with humility today. I refuse to take your glory.
My Maker give my life a miracle today in Jesus' name.

MIND YOUR HEART

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
FRIDAY, 18TH MAY 2017

TOPIC: MIND YOUR HEART 

SCRIPTURE: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee - Proverbs  23:7

MEMORY VERSE: Romans  12:2

DIGGING DEEP: There is a connection between who you are and your heart. Your thinking influences your living. Even in medicine it has been proven that  when the heart is sick it affects the whole body and in many occasions it is detrimental to survival. Hence the condition of the heart has direct influence on our life.
What occupies your heart is what occupies your life. The realities of your life is a product of your heart.
Your heart coordinates your life. Your heart cannot be at work and your life won't be working. Nothing shrinks your life like a bad heart.
Many people were delivered from several yokes  but still fall back to their vomit. It not because God has not done a thorough job on them but the failure to guard their heart is restricting the proof of what God has wrought in them. Beloved, bad habits are a product of the strongholds of the mind.
I once read a story of an adult elephant whose  front leg is tied to a small rope and without chains nor cages it couldn't breakaway, it still remained on same spot. The trainer was asked and he said   “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”
The strongest stronghold is that of your mind. There are many people who cannot receive great things from God because they have what I call small perception/reception syndrome. The capacity of their heart  is small, their heart is shrinked to believe in small things only.
You can't make giant strides when you have a teeny heart. You cannot have a lion's heart and not rule in the jungle of this life. David went after the bear  that took his sheep and removed it from it's teeth (1 Samuel  17:34) because he was strong at heart. What you can pursue is based on how powerful your heart is. If you have a daring heart you can overcome challenges in life.
Our anchor Scripture says that "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he..." Four implications of this is :
1.You can a times say it and not mean it but you can never think it and not mean it.
2. When your heart is involved your life is involved.
3. If you stop thinking, you start stinking. If you start thinking right your life will become alright.
4. You can revolutionize your life  when you change the contents of your thoughts.
Finally, don't cripple your life by how you think. Because what you think becomes what you  believe, what you believe determines what relieve you get. Whatever you can conceive and believe, you can achieve!
I pray for you any captivity of your mind is broken right now in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: O Lord, I refuse wrong thoughts in Jesus' name. I break free from any satanic habit that has formed strongholds in my mind in Jesus' name

BORN FOR THIS

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
THURSDAY, 18TH MAY 2017

TOPIC: BORN FOR THIS 

SCRIPTURE: For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?" - Esther 4:14

MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 139:2

DIGGING DEEP: The way you live your life has direct impact on others. Adams error indicted the whole of human race for life (Romans 5:12). That is why in the season we are, foolishness and living life without a sense of purpose should not be condoled. Your quietness can be detrimental to the victory or failure of a generation.
The way you live your life is very important because destinies are interconnected, so if you fail it results in the failure of others.
Denying Gods call and purpose for your existence is an Irreversible mistake. Embracing it is the greatest discoveries of all time. Why is purpose important?
i. Life is boring when you don't know the reason you were born.
ii. Life remains a mystery if you don't know the reason you were born.
iii. Life becomes a burden if you don't know the reason you were born
iv. Purposelessness is the reason many squander life and make blunder of existence.
V. Purpose is the definition of your existence.  Living life undefined is living without refining others: It is living without been a blessing to others. Simply put it this way a Purposeless existence is an impactless existence.
Purpose beautifies existence and maintains your consistency is fulfilling God's mandate for your life.
Nothing fires you from within like understanding who God created you to be. Nothing is so worrisome and disheartening like God blessing you with long life and you get to the brink of it seeing that you haven't started living what He sent you to the earth to accomplish.
See, living life with all sense of purpose changes you from been a joker into a worker.
Understand that you were born:
1. To bring God profit (Job 22:2).
2. To bring God glory (Isaiah 43:6-7).
Esther in our text didn't know that she was sent to occupy that position for others. But when Esther understood her purpose, she became committed to it in prayer and fasting and fulfilled it in two days. Beloved, God sent you to the earth for a time as this maximize it and fulfil it.
Finally, a blessed life is a product of purposeful living.
I pray for you, you will fulfil God's purpose(s) for your life  and countless generations will be proud of you in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: O Lord i refuse to live a Purposeless life in Jesus' name.

QUOTE: Purpose known is relevance activated.
Purpose makes you burn for the reason you were born - Dr. Dabbas Joel
