RESULTS OF GOD'S HELP

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
TUESDAY, 1ST AUGUST 2017

TOPIC:  RESULTS OF GOD'S HELP

SCRIPTURE: God is my refuge and strength,a very present help in trouble, therefore will i not fear, though the earth be removed though d mountains be carried into the midst of the sea | Psalm 46:1-2

MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 50:7

DIGGING DEEP: God is the most reliable help i Know. Our anchor Scripture reveals what happens to you when you have God's help:
a. You have security and strength: The strength of the president of a nation is in the military might and economic strength it possesses. If God is your helper, you have the most powerful military back up. If God is your refuge, you can't be living life as a refugee. What it means is that if God is all you have, you have all your needs met. God's help is unlimited, but mans help is limited.
b. You Enjoy Ceaseless And Timely Help: His help is ever present. In the night, in the day, in the face of storms, in the fire and so on. He is not limited by space, time or distance. His help is always readily available to you.
What are some of the results of been helped by God?
1. The help of God is our escape route from shame and reproach (Isa. 50:7-9): One major experience where ever  helplessness exist is shame. The arrival of God's help is the termination of shame. A story was said of a Sister who lost her job and her rent was due. The owner comes around to mock her and finally gave her a twenty four hour ultimatum to either pay or move out. The next day she was evicted. She was in tears on the street when she recieved a call for a job she never applied for. She went for the interview, was given the job, with apartment and official car attached. God stepped in and pulled her from shame. I decree over your life, any form of embarasement you are going through right now may the help from above settle it now in Jesus' name.
2.  The help of God empowers you to be focused on your goals (Isaiah 50:7): It gives you the inner energy to focus of your dream. Many people have dreams, but no help from anywhere that can enable them to focus and achieve it. Isaiah said 'God will help me, then will i set my face like a flint and i won't be afraid.' Help from God keeps you from distractions and empowers your focus.
3. The help of God terminates poverty, lack, empty-handedness and scarcity (Psalm 40:17): Divine intervention produces Divine supply. 'My God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus' (Philippians 4:19).
4. The help of God repairs lives and destinies (Hosea 13:9): Divine help is a product of His mercy. His mercy is stronger than any judgement, and overrides any form of accusation. God's help can correct your errors and colour your destiny.
I pray for you today, recieve help from above in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: Dear Lord send me help today in Jesus' name.

THE IRREPRESSIBLE CHURCH

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
MONDAY, 24TH JULY 2017

TOPIC: THE IRREPRESSIBLE CHURCH

SCRIPTURE: Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ | Acts 5:49 NIV

MEMORY VERSE: Acts 1:8-9
DIGGING DEEP: God is raising a generation of people who are dogged and rugged for the kingdom. A people who are irrepressible, untiring in proclaiming the good news of Christ. 
The Book of Acts show cased the activities of the Apostles, hence they showed us what should become of anyone who have encountered Christ and have the Holy Ghost. 
If we want the result they had we must do the things they did. Our text showed that:
Teaching the gospel was their major duty. They where willing to make known the good news of Jesus. THE GOSPEL WAS THEIR DAILY ROUTINE. 
They were threatened but yet they preached the word. From homes to cities people heard the glorious message of the kingdom of heaven. 
They were unstoppable. The fire in them was untameable. They where irrepressible and carried the word to every nation and city that the Lord has given. 
Today, we can also become irrepressible as they where. We must be fired up within so much that we can not contain what God is placing in us. Hence from within our depths the river of God's word will begin to gush out and it touches the earth with the knowledge of the glory of God as water covers the sea. 
The Church needs to be irrepressible now than ever. You and i must be willing to do all it takes to carry this gospel around the nations of the earth. 
How can we do this:
1. BE A COMMITTED KINGDOM FINANCIER: Use your money to spread the gospel. 
2. MAKE SOUL WINNING YOUR DAILY ROUTINE: Personally preach Christ to your colleagues, family members and so on. 
3. SUPPORT MISSIONARIES: You can sow to missionaries so they can take the gospel to rural areas and to unreached souls. 
4. REACHING OUT TO THE POOR: One of the target of the gospel is to the poor. Imagine the world over, statistics reveals that there are more poor people in the world than the rich. Hence, we have a large volume of people to reach out to. Meeting needs of people will show them that love truly exist and that Christ is the true love of all. 
5. TAKING OVER THE INTERNET: The internet is full of immorality today. Demonic people see the internet as a place to push forward satanic agenda. That is why immorality, pornography is cheaply advertised in the internet. But if the Church can begin to spend and invest in the internet we will be able to turn many to the kingdom of God. 
6. SUPPORTING RADIO AND TELEVISION MINISTRY: Another great way to reach out and teach Jesus to the unsaved world. 
7. INVESTING INTO GOSPEL MOVIES, CARTOONS AND MUSICALS: Many young people miss use Divine talents and gifts wrongly. Many ungodly stars started from the Church. We loose this ones to the devil because we are not investing in capacity building and development. 
8. SUPPORTING MINISTRIES AND MISSIONS WHO TRULY HAVE KINGDOM AGENDA: Not every ministry, prophet, pastors and so on are fake. Not everyone uses kingdom money for personal gain. 
God still has His people. Support such people to propagate the assignment God has given to them. 
9. PRAYING FOR LOST SOULS: Make it an habit to commit the lost to God daily, by so doing you are giving the kingdom permission here on earth. 
I pray for you, may an untameable passion for spreading the word of God engulf you in Jesus name. 

PRAYER: O Lord i recieve grace to take the gospel to every part of the world in Jesus' name

THE UNSTOPPABLE GENERATION

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SUNDAY, 23RD JULY 2017

TOPIC: THE UNSTOPPABLE GENERATION

SCRIPTURE: And now i say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God | Acts 5:38-39

MEMORY VERSE: John 12:19
DIGGING DEEP: Any move that is of God is unstoppable. Isreal was not just a nation delivered from captivity, but they represent a new move of God. They represent a people of Covenant. They are a new stalk/breed of people known as the 'Ecclesia' which means the called out ones. 
Today, everyone that is born again is the called out one. We are called out of darkness, out of bondage of sin, out of satan's grip and governance into the light of God. We are the consecrated and anointed people of God and we are Christ-like. 
The Isrealites moved through the wilderness and no one could stop them, kings and nations teamed up together to destroy them but it wasn't possible. Kings hired diviners to place curses and spells on them but it didn't hold ground. This was simply because any move engineered by God can not be endamaged by man or even the devil. 
Beloved, your destiny is a move of God, that Divine calling, purpose, assignment and giftings are the move of God and nothing is strong enough to stop you. 
From our text today you observe that:
1. TRYING TO STOP THE MOVE OF GOD IS FIGHTING GOD HIMSELF: I remember when i was in the university, massive revival broke out and people in authority rose up against it. There was this professor who practically was against it and will lead some team to talk to us with great disdain. One day they stopped us from meeting. To cut it short the man died. Any supernatural move can not be stopped by the most powerful physical force. 
2. NEVER FIGHT PEOPLE WITH THE CALL OF GOD UPON THEIR LIVES: Never fight a true child of God. Fighting people who carry grace is a signature for your disgrace. The king Nebuchadnezzar tried to throw men filled with grace into the burning fire. They kindled it and made it seven times hotter. Men of grace didn't die, it was the soldiers who died. Fighting grace is killing yourself. 
3. NEVER TAKE UP A SELF CENTRED ASSIGNMENT AND VISION: Today many jump up with mandates that have no dates so to say. Why did i say this? It is because every genuine mandate comes with Divine encounter (which contains dates, place and time) which you can often make reference to. Any mandate that is not ushered by God is time wasting, energy sapping and frustrating. It can not stand for long. Many young people today jump around with titles that they are not tied to and mess up the name of Jesus by the carnality that drew them. Beloved, it is time to drop titles and pursue God. It is time to seek His face and hold unto His garment until power drops into you. Then you will truly become unstoppable. 
I pray for you, nothing can stop you in Jesus' name. 

PRAYER: Father today i have recieved understanding, i decree that i am unstoppable in Jesus' name.

COMPELLING POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SATURDAY, 22ND JULY 2017

TOPIC: COMPELLING POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

SCRIPTURE: And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness | Mark 1:12

MEMORY VERSE: Ezekiel 2:2

DIGGING DEEP: Have you ever experienced the spontaneous move of God upon your life since you first believed? There is a dimension of the move of the Holy Ghost that is totally radical in nature. That was what Jesus experienced. It is like a unstopable reaction and like a wild unquenchable fire. Jesus was drawn to the wilderness by an irresistible impulse, and did not go of his own volition. There is a dimension of the flow of the Spirit of God upon our lives that pulls even our will into subjection.
Lets see a few things:
1. THE MOVE WAS IMMEDIATE: "And immediately..." The Spirit moved Him instantly and without delay. No time aloted for it. Can i ask you these question? When was the last time you where moved instantly by the Holy Spirit to go and pray, to fast, to go and win a soul or any other thing for God? Philip was moved and transported by the Holy Spirit to give him understanding and win the Ethopian eunuch (Acts 8:26-40). That move was instant and without delay.
2. THE HOLY GHOST DROVE HIM: The New Living Bible states it this way "The Spirit then compelled Jesus to go into the wilderness." Understand that what drives you is more powerful than what you drive. It is very important that we release ourselves to the Holy Spirit to drive us.
The Holy Ghost will compel you to live in Holiness and righteousness, He will compel you to love the Lord, constrain you to live in truth, initiate in you the desire to do what God desires. When the Holy Ghost drives you, it won't be difficult to move in the direction God wants you to move. Many folks today wants to drive themselves to do things their own way, but note that the drive of man is only mechanical the drive of the Spirit of God is Supernatural and more rewarding.
Finally, the drive of the Holy Spirit is like a piece of paper been blown by the breeze. The paper is weightless before the breeze hence,  it can be carried anywhere so long as the wind keeps blowing. The Holy Spirit is also reffered to as 'ruach' in Hebrew which means the breath or the wind of God.  Beloved if you can become weightless by removing sins that weighs you down (Hebrews 12:1),  there will be no telling of the limit and realms the Holy Ghost will take you to.

PRAYER: Holy Ghost drive me to do your will in Jesus' name.
Every weight of sin that pulls me from been used by the Holy Spirit i drop you now in Jesus' name.

MANIFESTING LOVE

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
FRIDAY, 21ST JULY 2017

TOPIC: MANIFESTING LOVE

SCRIPTURE: 13 No one has ever gone to heaven and returned. But the Son of Man e has come down from heaven. 
14 And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 
15 so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life. 
16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him | John 3:13-17 [NLT]

MEMORY VERSE: John 3:17

DIGGING DEEP: Nothing simply defines God like love. Love is not just His character but His person.
Love is the outreach of God to man. God only reaches out to mankind by love. Love is the only platform by which God effectively related with man. It is the vehicle through which God communicated His heart and personality to man.
John 3:16 says that "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Note these:
A. God Is Not Heartless: Adam and all human race fell from grace into sin and God's heart still beats for mankind. God is not heartless, His heart beats for you, even when you were unfaithful, He remains faithful. Man does not give a second change before judging but not God. He loves you unconditionally. The only thing you have to do is to respond to His love.
B. Respond to His Love: "... Whosoever believes..." The Only Way To Respond is by believing. The most appropriate way to show that you love God is by believing in Him. When your heart rises up in believe and it collides with the love of God, a spiritual chain reaction begins in your spirit. You will discover an endless love for righteousness, a deep desire for holiness, love to serve God with all you have, an unquenchable desire for God and a high appetite to show the love of God to others.
Finally, beloved the fusion of your believe with the love of God gives you ownership of the very life of God. The life of God is transmitted into you when you believe in Him.
The life of God is the antidote to perishing. The life of God is not just the passport to heaven, it is the realm of manifesting the nature and personality of God. It is expressing who God is to the people of the world.

PRAYER: O Lord i respond and manifest your love today in Jesus' name.

WHY WORRY?

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
THURSDAY, 20TH JULY 2017

TOPIC: WHY WORRY? 

SCRIPTURE: 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 
30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?
31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?' | Matthew 6:27-31

MEMORY VERSE:  Matthew 6:27

DIGGING DEEP: Worrying means war in a hurry. It is pitching yourself against forces that seems to be beyond you already. When you begin to worry it means that there is a need.
People that need help are those who are facing things that seemingly are beyond them. And people who get help are those who know they actually need help and request for help. Our Lord is our helper. That is why He is called Jehovah Ezer. If it is beyond you, it is certainly not beyond God. If it is above you, nothing is above the throne of God.
Why war when the Lord of Hosts can handle it for you.
Matthew 6:27 shows us three things about worries:
1. Anything that does not add to you is not worth worrying over.
2. Anything that is not relevant to our life and destiny is never important.
3. Anything that won't make you grow is not an important issue to worry over. Because Christ said why worry if it can't add a cubit to your stature.
Anything that won't grow you, can low you so don't worry about it.
You are God's major project on earth, you can't be left to waste. Your development, growth and advancement in the major concern of heaven.
Finally understand that worry can make one make hasty and unrewarding decisions so therefore never allow it's root in your life.
DECLARE THIS: I am the child of God, He is mindful of me, He has good plans for, and i know it is coming to pass in Jesus' name.

 PRAYER: O Lord forgive me for been overtly anxious and full of worry. I recieve peace from above today and i conquer all fears now in Jesus' name.

YOUR WORD AND YOUR LIFE

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
MONDAY, 17TH JULY 2017

TOPIC:  YOUR WORD AND YOUR LIFE

SCRIPTURE:  It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life | John 6:63

MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 12:32

DIGGING DEEP: 
Words are like seeds they have the capacity to be planted, have ability to germinate and grow. Words have implications on earth and in eternity. Jesus said that we will give account of every idle word spoken (Matthew 12:36). The word idle means worthless, useless and empty words. What makes a word to be useless?
a. Words are useless if they are not consistent with the language of God: there is a way gangsters talk and there is a way ‘God-stars’ talk.
b. Words are worthless if they are spoken to edify flesh
c. Words are useless if it advertises sin rather than promote God
It is necessary to speak the right words because words are spiritual agents that when released, works to bring into effect the intent and purpose of its delivery.
Remember learn to daily speak Gods word over your life. Because as you speak it your life is quickened, grace is released and life becomes easy.

PRAYER: Holy Spirit touch my tongue and help me to always speak the right word that will cause a revolution in my life in the Name of Jesus.

SPIRITUAL PATHOLOGY III

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SUNDAY, 16TH JULY 2017

TOPIC: SPIRITUAL PATHOLOGY III

SCRIPTURE: Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you | Matthew 9:29

MEMORY VERSE: Mark 4:40

DIGGING DEEP: Another sickness of the spirit man, which is also highly contagious is FAITHLESSNESS: A state in which there is perpetual lack of faith. Those suffering from this disease condition do not have the capacity to draw spiritual evidence into physical reality.
They don't always believe God's word. They debate God's promises. This type of people always want God to make sense, so they discard the truth of God since it does not fit into there intellectualism.
They are full of fear. Because their heart has become the theatre of the devil.
Faithless people in a more serious sense have fainted or are at the point of coma in the realm of the spirit. Because in this kingdom the righteous lives by faith (Romans 1:17). 
They lack the power of God and do not experience it. In this state, there is gross inability to please God (Hebrews 11:6) because they are not purified by faith (Hebrews 15:9).
A faithless believer is more deadly than a thorough unbeliever (Hebrews 10:38). 
John 11:40 said "Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto there, that,  if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? This implies that:
1. Faithless people do not experience the manifestation of God.
2. There is link between faith and glory.
3. The more we believe in God the more we become glorious in all ways.
CAUSES OF FAITHLESSNESS: A. Backslidding
B. Lack of the  hearing and study of the word of God.
C. A heart full of intellectualism: An unnecessary anallysm of God's word.
TREATMENT: Daily study the word and regularly listen to tapes and watch videos of anointed servants of God.
Practicalise what God has told you from His word
Finally, faith is the working platform  of the miraculous power of God.

PRAYER: O Lord help my faith in Jesus' name.

SPIRITUAL PATHOLOGY II

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SATURDAY, 15TH JULY 2017

TOPIC: SPIRITUAL PATHOLOGY II

SCRIPTURE: 40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. 41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak" | Matthew 26:40-41

MEMORY VERSE: Romans 12:12

DIGGING DEEP: When the physical body is sick there are obvious signs to show for it. So it is with our spirit man. If it is sick there are obvious signs to shows. Today we will look at another obvious condition that is seen when the spirit is sick: PRAYERLESSNESS: This is a condition of partial or total inabilty to pray or commune with the Lord.
CAUSES: 1. Allowing activity replace connectivity with God: When you delight in other activities rather than spending time with God is a gradual pull into backslidding. Anything that can hamper with your appetite for prayer can cripple your relationship with God.
2. The presence of sin: Prayer fire can be easily quenched by the presence of sin. Sin weakens your ability to sustain Divine presence. Sin pulls you from the glory realm (Romans 3:23) which is the realm of God.
3. When we are carried away and overwhelmed by challenges of life it is possible to become drown away and become prayerless but this is what David said " I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the Rock that is higher than i" (Psalm 61:2). Jesus is that rock He is higher than any of lives challenges, higher than any issue. He has the answer. Don't allow situations take you away from God but rather let situations take you to God. Jesus was on the cross ladenned with pain, sorrow and anguish but yet He prayed, He called on the Father 
( Luke 23:46). 
Our anchor text says that pray we don't fall that is to says that "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." This implies that:
a. Prayer gives us strong immunity against temptations.
b. Prayer makes the will of the Spirit more powerful than the weakness of the flesh.
Prayer does not just make you powerful but makes you stay healthy in the realm of the spirit. A prayerful christian is bouyant in the realm of the spirit because prayer builds a constant robust relationship with the Lord.
Prayer gives you regular instant contact with God and it translates into Divine impact in your life.
TREATMENT: Identify the cause. Ask the Lord for mercy if sin is the issue. Begin to practice Praying by having a regular quiet time with God.

PRAYER: O Lord i break free from anything initiating prayerlessness in Jesus' name.

QUOTE: If your craving for God is high, your act of praying will be high  -Dr. Dabbas Joel

SPIRITUAL PATHOLOGY

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL) FRIDAY, 13TH JULY 2017

TOPIC: SPIRITUAL PATHOLOGY

SCRIPTURE: I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food | Job 23:12 (New American Standard Bible)

MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 119:11

DIGGING DEEP: Pathology deals with understanding the nature of disease and its causes, processes, development, and consequences. The spirit of a man can be sick. I mean that a person can get to a point that there is lack of fire, zeal, passion and enthusiasm for the things of God. And outrightly become a backslidder. There are alot of process that cummulnates in this whole general spiritual break down. Let us see one Pathology that cripples the spirit of a person:
LOW LEVEL AND LACK OF THE WORD OF GOD: This is a major spiritual disorder. A state whereby there is absolute absence of the love to read and study the word of God.
When this state continues one becomes low and  deficient of the word of God. The lower the word of God in us, the more flesh prevails. The more the word in us the more we become like God.
The lack of the word of God in you leads to the lack of Divine instruction, lack of His instruction is high way to destruction.
TREATMENT: A. Stay with the Lord no mattter what. John 6:68 says that "Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life." 
B. Build, and generate a deep love for the word of God: "I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food."
C. Give the word space to build you: Acts 20:32 "And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified."
Finally, commitment to the word of God is commitment to a change of living and this empowers the expression of God's glory in our lives. 2 Corinthians 3:18 says "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."

PRAYER: O Lord i recieve appetite for your word in Jesus' name.
I make my spirit available to your word from today in Jesus' name.

THE POTTERS TOUCH

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL) THURSDAY, 13TH JULY 2017

TOPIC: THE POTTERS TOUCH

SCRIPTURE: 1The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 2Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. 3Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 4And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it | Jeremiah 18:1-4

MEMORY VERSE: Jeremiah 18:4

DIGGING DEEP: Jeremiah was asked by God to go to the Potter's house to see the activities going on there. What does this imply?
A. The Potter's house signifies the Church or the presence of God.
B. The clay signifies members of the body of Christ.
C. The Potter is God; and
D. The activities of the potter signifies what God is doing in our lives.
LIGHT TO RUN WITH FROM OUR TEXT
1. God is doing something in our lives: We are not  abandoned projects, God is up to something in our lives. God is at work producing vessels out of us.
Vessels are needed for different types of assignment. We all are meant for different assignments in the kingdom, we don't make ourselves, God makes us.
God is interested in making us. That is why He is busy building us up.
2. God does not use every clay, He uses clays that are present in the potters house: It means that it is your availability to God that determines what God will produce out of you. For instance the more a clay touches the hands of the potter, the more it is converted into a vessel.
Let me reinterate it again, the more available a clay is in the hands of the potter, the more work is done on it. The more we release ourselves to God the more He works on us. We then continously are changed into His image and we move from glory to glory.
3. God always turns clays into vessels: A vessel is one that God can pour Himself into. It is one that can carry the virtue of heaven. Clays can not.
Finally, been a clay is to be in the unrefined state but becoming a veasel is to be purified and throughly2 worked upon by God. In this state self is arrested and the life of Christ finds full expression in you.

PRAYER: O Lord work on my life and make me into a worthy vessel in Jesus' name.

QUOTE: God does not use clays that have not been converted into vessels -Dr. Dabbas Joel
