PRODUCTS OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD

October 6th 2018
TOPIC: PRODUCTS OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD
SCRIPTURE: "The fear of the Lord is to hate evil . . ." —Proverbs 8:13

KEY THOUGHT: The absence of the fear of the Lord breeds disorderliness

It is confirmed that the fear of the Lord is the respect for God and His words. It is deep reverence for God. It is not fear because of His judgement but fear brewed out of aweful love for Him. It is a heart and life shaped into honouring God wholly.
In this age, it is apparent that many have lost fear for God. Anywhere the fear of God is abundant true relationship with God can be confirmed.
What are the products of the fear of the Lord?
1. Foundation for wisdom: Proverbs 9:10 says, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Anywhere the fear of the Lord is absent foolishness rules but where it is present wisdom is at its peak.
2. Long life: Proverbs 10:27 says,
"The fear of the LORD prolongs life, But the years of the wicked will be shortened." Long life is a product of the fear of the Lord. There are destinies that have been destroyed because of the lack of the fear of God. Proverbs 14:27 "The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, That one may avoid the snares of death."  It does not just give life but it is a pool of life. Proverbs 19:23 "The fear of the LORD leads to life, So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil." It gives life that is satisfied and barricafed from evil.
3. Brings confidence: Proverbs 14:26 says, "In the fear of the LORD there is strong confidence, And his children will have refuge." The fear of the Lord sponsors  confidence. It gives you confidence Godward and confidence lifeward. This means that the fear of the Lord will give you confidence to approach God at anytime. It gives you confidence on the corridor of life knowing that God will back you. Daniel and friends for example had the fear of God they refused to bow to other gods and God was with them even in the fire.
4. Betters your lot:  Proverbs 15:16 "Better is a little with the fear of the LORD Than great treasure and turmoil with it." The little you get with the fear of God is better than amassing plenty in unrighteousness. If you are in an office and people are adding extra zero's to perpetuate fraud do not sign up with them. God can prosper your meager salary and make your lot better.
5. Commands the blessing: Psalm 128:1 says, "How blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, Who walks in His ways." Blessings companies anyone who fears the Lord.
6. Makes evil disgusting: Proverbs 8:13 says, "The fear of the Lord is to hate evil . . ." When the fear of God is absent people can easily become tools in the hands of the devil.

WHAT TO DO TODAY: Make God the centre of all you do.

PROPHETIC PRAYER: O Lord, let the Spirit of the fear of the Lord come upon me today in Jesus' name.

TOPIC: THE SECRET OF THE ANOINTING

October 5th 2018
TOPIC: THE SECRET OF THE ANOINTING
SCRIPTURE: Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. – Psalms 45:7

KEY THOUGHT: The Anointing raiser of men

Anointing is the communicator of grace. It is the confirmation of divine presence.
From todays anchor text we know that the anointing can lift a person above. It gives you competitive advantage, it gives you an edge above others. It simply means that an anointed life will have nothing to do with smallness, mediocirty and low levels. It simply will elevate from grass to grace. For example, David was dispised by his brethren and was confirned to the bush. He had nothing to do outside there but when the anointing came upon him he was taken from the bush to the palace.
The anointing always comes with a price; today let's examine two:
1. Love Righteousness: If you must have anything to do with God, if God must pour His oil upon your life then you must love righteousness.
What does it mean to love righteousness?
Quickly let us strike a distinction here that there is a huge difference between loving righteousness and doing righteousness. One can act love but won't love. It is possible to show love and not truly be inlove. For instance when someone is afraid of the implication of sin and then is not sinning it is not because that individual loves righteousness but because of the consequence that accompanies sin. A person who is afraid of deadly diseases that might come with sexual sin and is avoiding to sin, is not because that individual loves righteousness but because of the fear of death from that sin. So to love righteousness is to love God and love his commandments. During Jesus earthly ministry, a man met Him saying that he had kept all the ten commandments and never faulted in anyone. Jesus told him true, but go sale all you have and give to the poor and he left with anger and broken heart. That man acted righteous but does not love righterousness. The point today is that if you love righteousness everything about you will change. It will not be about going to heaven or going to hell, it will simply be because you love God so deeply to do anything He does not like and love anything He doesn't love.
How to love righteousness
A. Pursue righteousness: Proverbs 15:9 says, “The LORD detests the way of the wicked, but he loves those who pursue righteousness.” We pursue righteousness when we pursue the character of Christ and desire holiness more than fleshly indulgence.
B. Hunger after righteousness: Matthew 5:6 says that "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled" This is not a casual thirst, it is deep, not temporary but with great irredemable desperation and obssession for righteousness.
C. Be passionate about righteousness and holiness.
2. Hate wickedness: It is detesting lawlessness and sin. Today's world celebrates lawlessness and sin over holiness and righteousness. People look at you as an alien if you speak the truth and stand for what is right. When people defend evil, i wonder what has happened to their mind! But if you must become a candidate for the anointing then you must dislike, detest and disown any form of unrighteousness and unlawlessness.
Joseph hated sin the product was elevation from slavery to royalty and from prison to the palace.
Daniel detested sin the end result was excellence, relevance and promotion.
There is no man who love righteousness and dislikes sin that will ever go down in life. They move from one layer of glory to another.
WHAT TO DO TODAY: Be passionate about God.
Boldly stand for righteousness.

PROPHETIC PRAYER: O Lord, place in me passion for righteousness and holiness in Jesus' Name.

GOD OUR WAYMAKER

TOPIC: GOD OUR WAYMAKER

SCRIPTURE: 16 Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

17 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.

18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert - Isaiah 43:16-19 King James Version (KJV)

KEY THOUGHT: With God you can never be stranded in life.

One Name of God is WAYMAKER. 
What does it mean that God is a WAYMAKER?

1. It means that God gives and creates opportunities

2. It means that God is involved in constructions

3. It means that with God there is no waylessness

4. It means that with God there is nothing like the road has ended

5. It means that with God there is no crossroads

6. With God there is nothing like no road

From our anchor Scripture we observe that everyone face life differently. Everyone have different life experience(s). Some life experience(s) is so overwhelming as if one is in mighty waters or as if one is in the depth of the sea. For some life experiences is desert-like in nature: Everything is so dry, hard and unbearable. And for another life experience is like one passing through fire. Beloved, no matter the situation you are in right now God can make a way for you.

Three examples of how God makes way for His people:

1. Joseph was all alone in Egypt, the conspiracy and allegation against was so strong. The evidence was mighty tangible. He was thrown into the toughest prison. It looked as if his life will end there but God stepped in and made a way. He made a way for him from the prison to the palace 

2. Isreal was facing the red sea fierce enemies coming behind and a huge obstacle in front but God made a way through the red sea. God made a way for them through the red sea to the promise land.

3. Ruth lost her husband: she was broken hearted and full of pain. God made a way for her. From pain to joy. From loss to gain. From widowhood to been married again.

Too many examples to show that our God is a way making God.

I speak to you today, no matter the state of your life right now, God is making a way for you.

Lift up your hands and say Father, my WAYMAKER make a way for me where there seem to be no way.

I PROPHESY

God is making way of destiny for you

God is making marital way for you

God is making way for you to connect to destiny helpers for you

God is making way of escape from troubles for you.
God is making way for you out of that sickness and disease

I like you to believe it. A testimony awaits you in Jesus' Name.

DRESS WELL

TREASURES OF GRACE
WRITTEN BY DR. JOEL DABBAS
TOPIC: DRESS WELL
SCRIPTURE: The King's daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is interwoven with gold. She will be led to the King in embroidered work; The virgins, her companions who follow her, Will be brought to You |  Psalm 45:13-14

It is often said that the way you dress equals the way you will be addressed.
Nothing reflects the personality of a person like the way he is dressed. Dressing is a major part of the culture of any kingdom. As citizens of God's kingdom we also must dress to reflect the culture of our King.

The text Scripture makes us understand that:

a. Our dressing has a correlation with the glory we have inside: "The King's daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is interwoven with gold..." There is a glory upon your life and so the way we dress reflects how much we value that glory. Have you ever wondered that after you wore a cloth you have had for a long time, people will be saying this dress is so fine! It is a function of the inner glory. This glory within you is what gives you a unique presentation.

b. Our dressing should have good finishing: "She will be led to the King in embroidered work..." Embroided work talks of good finishing and this entails good design, it entails good colour combination and it means it must fit your body.

c. The way you dress determines what you attract: "The virgins, her companions who follow her, Will be brought to You." Your dressing determines what and who follows you. Virgins speaks of holiness. There are ways a person will dress and it will only attract the spirit of lust and make slots to go after such a person. The way you dress will attract your kind and repel those that are not your type.
Dressing can expose you to the right or wrong people.

IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE ABOUT DRESSING

1. Either stimulates respect or disrespect

2. It confirms our growth and maturity: The way we dress is a major reflection of how we think. Shabby thinking produces shabby dressing and good thinking produces good dressing. That is why it is called dress sense.

3. Dressing communicates your intention: Dressing is the easiest way to make your statenent wordless. For example a wife who wants to have a romantic moment with her husband could choose some kind of seductive dress plus appealing colours as soon as her husband walks into the room, he needs no further communication, he already knows. This is because dressing is a wordless expression of our hearts.
As a believer dont communicate lust, dont become the avenue through which the devil will communicate his language to others.

3 things dressing should do for us:

1. It should cover our nakedness: Even mad people seek to cover their nakedness.

2. It gives us colour: choose great colours. If you must block the colours do it well. Dont appear rainbow-like.

3. It should show what brand you stand for: It must reveal whether you are for God or the devil. For light or darkness. For sin or righteousness.

4. It must give you confidence: If you are not confident in your dress it kills self esteem too.

Finally, not that a dress is more than a piece of fabric having a fashion style. It communicates who you are consciously or subconsciously.
So beloved dress well...dress to represent the Kingdom of God.

With love,
Joel Dabbas

TREASURE OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
WRITTEN BY DR. JOEL DABBAS

TOPIC: LORD I MAKE YOU MY HABITATION
SCRIPTURE:Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation - Psalm 91:9
KEY THOUGHT: God must become your habitation not your visitation

Your relationship with God will determine your revelation of God. What you can draw from God is hinged on if you are close or distant from Him. There are people who visit God only on weekly basis, some it is only on christmas day, others it is only when they have problems thet come to Him. The closer you are to God the more you enjoy His touch.
In our anchor text, David stated a type of relationship with God. He said that God is his habitation. That means God is my shelter, my apartment. It literally means that i live inside God. My residency is in Him. It is saying that it is in God i live, move and have my beign. It is a level that everything about you is traceable in God.
Jesus said  that " I am the vine; you are the branches. Whiever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears nuch fruit..." it implies that to draw capacity, grace, anointing, power, influence, impact and nutrients from God you must make Him your place of perpetual stay.
Fruit means result; result bearers are those who make God their habitation.
Today don't just make room for God make God your room. 
Finally, remember that God must become your habitation not your visitation.

PRAYER: O LORD! Open Your door for me, take me depper into You. Let me be drawn into You everyday and everytime in Jesus' Name.

FOR MEN SERIES

HONOUR YOUR WIFE (LESSON ONE)

Honour has a rule of engagement: "Honour is only given unto whom honour is dew." (Rom 13:7) That is to say that honour should be given to those who deserve it.
One of the persons amongst others in your life that deserve to be honoured is your wife.
1 Peter 3:7 says "In the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God's gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered" (NLT).
You see that honour was demanded from the husband. This is because man in his natural state is egocentric and will never put down his crown for a woman. God by this is bringing humility into the union. A man that is not humble is not broken and love does not flow in the atmosphere of pride.
"God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble." (James 4:6). God has no dealings with a proud man. Let me reinterate it: God has no transaction with a proud man. Hence a husband with  pathologic ego,  self esteem or pride will experience resistance from God. If a husband honours his wife it flows back to back. Because honour flows back to people who gives honour. By so doing you will not be seeking to honoured by your wife, you naturally will get it back.
Points to note from our anchor text:
1. Treat your wife with understanding:
A failure is a product of wrong understanding. It is a product of little or no understanding. Many marital unions today is failing because the man have not stepped up. Step out of that traditional mindset. Step out of those information that is toxic to marriage. Step into a new attitude character and personality through which love flows cheaply and freely.
Understanding is a product of proper study and insight. If you don't understand your wife, you will dishonour her.
2. Your wife is a seed of grace: One thing you must appreciate is that apart from been husbands and wives, you have another bond in God through grace. You two are citizens of the kingdom of God and heirs of salvation. So you don't relate based on the constitution of men but of God. In God's kingdom God values and cheerishes us, we must do same to our spouses.

SECRETS OF HONOUR

1. Honour is not demanded, honour is earned.

2. Honour is to be engaged

3. Honour shows or proofs value

4. Honour flows in te direction it is willingly expressed

5. Honour discolours familiarity and boosts rarity :It means that if honour makes your wife a rare asset to you and not one cheap entity.

LOVE AND HONOUR

1. Love expresses itself anywhere honour is resident

2. Honour is what gives value to love

3. Honour and humility flows together, and where humility is genuinely present grace is present. Since grace is uncommon ability Sotherefore grace will give you will give you ability to uncommonly love your spouse.

LOVE UNDER ATTACK

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
WENESDAY, 9TH JULY 2017

TOPIC: LOVE UNDER ATTACK

SCRIPTURE: And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax gold | Matthew 24:12

MEMORY VERSE: 1 John 4:7

DIGGING DEEP: However great sin is, Gods love is stronger. However strong the power of sin is, the power of Gods love is stronger. Iniquity does not threaten God's love for man, sin can not incapacitate or end God's love. Because Gods love is constant and instant. God loves a sinner but only dislikes what he does. But sin in man will incapacitate man and kill the spirit of man from responding to the love of God. Sin blinds the eyes of men from seeing and accepting the love of the Father.
Love will continually exist in a potential state until it is been reciprocated by responding in accepting it. The power of God's love can never be experienced until one responds to it.
Inability to respond to God's love is missing God's amazingness and grace.
The people who are true threats the the devil are those who thoroughly and totally love the Lord.
That is why the devil fights the hearts of people never to fall in love with the things of God.
That is where the devil is out to fight the Church of this age. The devil is attacking love for God in the hearts of believers. He knows that if you love God you will be godly and not wordly. The enemy tries to attack the most Valuable things in the believer by so doing can gun down even the great amongst God's elect.
How does the enemy try to work this out? It is by introducing the virus of iniquity into God's people.
Iniquity is not just "accidental" sin but it is sin that has become a stronghold, it is lawlessness that is persistent and consistent up to the point of becoming an habit, character or nature. This gross lawlessness becomes a cloud upon the soul of a man and makes sin a daily unavoidable culture.
The implication of this scenario is that it gradually kills the love of God in you. That is why we must be very careful not carefree, we must be sensitive and give no room to the enemy. We must not be taken with the attitude of "it doesn't matter" and the mind set that "grace covers sin" and miss out of the kingdom of God. This is satanic lies that makes people comfortable in error and sin.
What is the love of God? 
1. The Love of God is identifying with Jesus (Mark 8:38): There are many today who have not identified with Christ as their Lord and saviour and there are those who have fallen from loving God. They now identity themselves with the works of darkness. These ones use to serve God but now are servants of the devil. They have totally backslided and have left the faith after they have loved this present world. Today i urge you not to loose your identity with Jesus. Let people know you where ever you are that you are for Jesus. You don't have to live a double standard life but let your life be hundred percent Jesus.
2. The love of God is loving what God loves: God loves righteousness if you love Him, you will definately love righteousness.
3. To love God is to be on fire for Him: If you love God, you will be on fire for Him. You can't love God and be cold for God. Naturally, love often comes with a burning desire for that person you love. So it is with your love for God. Your heart burns for Him, your all burns for Him. Beloved nothing sets us on fire and makes us kingdom firebrands like our love for God.
Finally, love is the highest asset of a believer. Anything that can take away God's love in you is a threat to you entering the kingdom. Anything that empowers iniquity in you has the capacity of quenching God's love in you. So deal with it in prayer and in all vigilance.
I pray for you that in this changing world, your love for God won't be squashed in Jesus' name.


PRAYER: O Lord forgive me of any hidden sin in Jesus' name.
Every cloud of iniquity hanging around me, i command you to disappear now in Jesus' name.
I declare that i love you with all of my heart in Jesus' name

SOUL ECSTASY

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
TUESDAY, 8TH AUGUST 2017

TOPIC: SOUL ECSTASY

SCRIPTURE: 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever | 1 John 2:15-17

MEMORY VERSE: 1 John 2:15

DIGGING DEEP: One of the basic reasons why God gave man a spirit is for relationship with Him. God relates with the regenerated human spirit because He Himself is a Spirit, hence been a spirit makes it simple to relate with man.
The immaterial controls the material realm. For instance if you want to help someone, it starts from within you before it bursts into the physical. The soul of man is the centre that connects the immaterial to the material realm. It is the seat of Intelligence, desires, emotion, feelings, and character. What we call human nature is seated in the soul of a man.
There is always a flux that pulls the soul of a man into holiness and righteousness. The soul is the seat of our dealings in the flesh. It is a conduit between your spirit and your body. The activities your soul permits shows what has gained total rule in your life. Hence the soul is the constituency of the most powerful in your life. If flesh relates more with the soul then sin rules but if your spirit is taken by the Holy Spirit of God then your soul will be be under God's control and your body will conform.
The soul is the battle ground between the spirit of man and flesh. So it contains evidence of what has transpired in your life. A totally regenerated person has his soul, spirit and body under the control of God and such becomes true members of His body, bone and blood.
If we must truly become sons of God there are three ectasy we must consciously and deliberately resist; and also allow the power of God to pull us from. These three are:
1. THE PRIDE OF LIFE: This simply means selfglory. And any selfglory equals vainglory. It is an element of vanity. It is to be pumpous, and exalting self. It is raising self above God. This is what brought Lucifer down to eternal condemnation and judgement. God does not hesitate to bring down anything that tries to exalt itself above Him. Pride sponsors arrogance and arrogance births rebellion; and rebellion is the trigger of destruction. Pride is the seed of flesh that tries to gain control over the soul of men while humility is the seed of the Spirit of God that rules our spirit and influences our soul.  Proud people don't have regard for God. They take pride in the knowledge they have acquired, take pride in their wealth and so on. Because of this ostentatiousness they have no regard for God and have become atheists hence have sold their soul to the devil.
2. THE LUST OF THE FLESH: This simply means desires (the soul is the seat of desires) or appetite of the flesh. In Greek lust means to be hot after something. It is the burning desire to sin. For instance it is the burning desire to steal, to cheat, to lie, to be insincere with your spouse, to do anything that is anti the will of God.
3. THE LUST OF THE EYES: This means desire to see what is not in God's will. Such as the inordinate desire to see a new dress, new car, to look at a woman lustfully, to watch pornography and so on. The eyes is one major portal of perception and avenue for temptations. It is a major link to the soul of a man and has capacity to fuel desires, and emotion. David was drown into sin by the lust of the eyes. Lust of the eyes is one of the major element the devil uses to entice and attack man. It was what the devil used to decieve eve and defeat man. The devil pulled that same string on Jesus but was unable to prevail.
Job said that "I have made a Covenant with my eyes that i will not look at a woman lustfully" (Job 31:1).
When these three elements invades the soul of a man, the person becomes worldly, ungodly and the love of God is terminated from such a one.
Finally, God wants you to be for Him and hence you must dedicate yourself  and your soul to Him so that you can come into total governance of God.
I pray for you today may your life become the dwelling place of God.

PRAYER: O God, i ask that You gain absolute dominion over my entire beign in Jesus' name.

THE SOUL FANTASY

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
MONDAY, 7TH AUGUST 2017

TOPIC: THE SOUL FANTASY

SCRIPTURE: Then the dust [of mortals] goes back to the ground as it was before, and the breath of life goes back to God who gave it | Ecclesiastes 12:7 (GOD'S WORD® Translation)

MEMORY VERSE: John 3:16

DIGGING DEEP: God created man in the most unique way. Before He created man, He made everything available unto man and empowered man with everything needed to be in charge of all creation. But this was not enough; for mans uniqueness to be solidly established God had to breathe into man and this breath made man a living soul. This breath is not oxygen, if not man wouldn't have been anything different from an animal.
 "The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living soul” ( Genesis 2:7 ). This evidently shows that man was never a product of evolution, nor a product of any molecule or particulate matter. Man is simply a product of God.
The breath did three things unto man:
a. It made man into a living soul.
b. It gave an extra-natural or an extra-physical identity and existence unto man.
c. It opened the account of time and eternity for man.
Man has two parts the temporal and eternal part.
The temporal is the body which our text says will return to the earth. The body decomposes and passes away. The eternal is lying in the core of everyones spirit. Just like you normally yearn to go back home after a long day so it is with our spirit it yearn for its true home.
I am sure there are times you just begin to imagine how does life after death looks like, where are all those that are died. You try to picture the extra-natural existence and all that sorrounds it. This is what is called the fantasy of the soul.
But i need you to understand that the life after here is real, it is true. God did not just send you to the world to merely exist, but to live His life. That was the reason for His breath in you. The world beyond this earth is not a broken dot, not at all!!! it is a continuum of the life you lived here. Your activity in this body determines your place in eternity.
If you live the life of sin in the body, you will spend eternity in hell; but if you spend your life living for God and in righteousness, you will spend eternity with God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NLT) says that "Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God." 

Today has you move around don't live life just existing, don't live for your own self, live it for God who gave you breath. Live it to praise Him. Live it to please Him.

Finally, every mortal will vacate this earth into eternity with God or eternity in hell, but i urge you to live for God.

PRAYER: I refuse to live an anti-God life. My everything will do what pleases God in Jesus' name

BENEFIT OF LOVE

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SUNDAY, 6TH AUGUST 2017

TOPIC: BENEFIT OF LOVE

SCRIPTURE: Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue;  and the smell of the garments is like the smell of lebanon |  Songs Of Solomon 4:11

MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 18:1

DIGGING DEEP: The relationship between the Church and Christ is likened to a marriage relationship between the husband and wife (Ephesians 5:25-32). 
We are in a sacred Covenant relationship with God. An intimate relationship of love, affection and sacrifice. A deep romantic union with the Lord. That is why if you are truly in Covenant relationship with God, you will fall in love with Him over and over again. An irrepressible love keeps gushing out of you unto area. This gives you a personal identity with God, a very solid personal relationship with God and you can boldly say that "I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine..." (SOS 6:3). 
From our anchor Scripture today, you'll notice that when you are in a love relationship with the Lord, you will experience the following:

1. CEASELESS RELEASE OF HIS WORD: "Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue..." The Hebrew word for “dripping” is natap, which means “to drop of its own accord.” Gods' word is as honey and even far sweeter than it (Psalm 119:103). Word deficiency is sponsored by relationship deficiency. You can not be in a love relationship with God and lack insight, revelation, and illumination of His word. It drops for you freely and with ease. If you are a pastor, rather than searching and suffing the internet for messages to preach or teach, just be in a love relationship with God and He will pour His heart to you and through you to His people. Hence, His word in you is always fresh and new.

2. CEASELESS BLESSINGS: "...the smell of the garments is like the smell of lebanon." One common feature in relationship with God is the flow of the blessing. God is never stingy with blessing people who are in love with Him. Abraham was a lover of God and God transplanted him from poverty into wealth, from the cursed to the blessed. David a deep lover and seeker of God he was left and abandoned in the bush. His destiny was confined amongst animals, no one gave him any chance to be great, even his own father forgot him when prophet Samuel came to anoint a king for Isreal. His brothers want to shut him down at the slightest of opportunities; yet God took him from the bush to the palace. From rejection to acceptance, from the abused to the celebrated, from the one his brothers don't want to listen to the one a whole nation listens to. Genesis 27:27 says "...the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed."
I decree and declare that you will love the Lord totally, the Lord will give you ceaseless blessings in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: O God, fill me with love for you in Jesus' name.

COVENANT INTELLIGENCE

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
WEDNESDAY, 2ND AUGUST 2017

TOPIC: COVENANT INTELLIGENCE

SCRIPTURE: My Covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that has gone out of My lips | Psalm 89:34

MEMORY VERSE: Malachi 3:6

DIGGING DEEP: A Covenant is a written or an unwritten truce between a Covenantor and a Covenantee with terms and condition applied, if not broken releases benefits. God is the Covenantor, we are the covenantee. A Covenantor makes a covenant in favour of the covenantee. That is to say that God's Covenant with us is in our best interest. He has nothing to benefit we are the ones benefitting. It is commensal in nature.
Covenant is a platform whereby God makes us beneficiaries of His good treasure.
Covenant is a platform that tests the faithfulness of man verses the faithfulness of God. It tests the integrity of man verses the integrity of God. It is a system that strengthens your obedience. It is not competition between man and God, it is an opportunity given to you by God to help you develop a relationship with Him and make you spiritually and physically responsible in practising His words.
Covenant Intelligence is knowing the contents and intents of Divine Covenant, understand it, apply and act upon it's terms and possess all of it's benefits.
Many claim different Covenants from Scriptures but has never manifested in their lives. Covenant is never activated only by proclaimation. Covenants that is only proclaimed is powerless.
What is keys to Covenant Intelligence?
1. Covenant is always preceeded by an encounter: This is the first principle of Covenant Intelligence. God does not enter into Covenant with people that don't know Him. The highest form of Covenant Intelligence is when your life is in Covenant with God. Every Covenant in Scripture is birthed out of encounter with God. The more you yearn for Him, the more you love God and do what is pleasing in His sight, the more you enjoy the Covenant. God does not express Himself to people who haven't given their lives unto Him.
2. Covenants are studied and understood: A Covenant you have no knowledge of will not yield anything for you. Covenant that is gotten by revelation has the capacity to find fulfilment in your life cheaply.
3. Covenants are enforced by obedience: Obedience is the strongest cord of faith. Because it only takes obedience to respond to the word of God without needing any proof. Abraham's walk of faith started with simple obedience to God's instruction and that was what metamorphosed his destiny forever.
Finally, God keeps to His path of the agreement, He never breaks a Covenant, and He is more than willing to bless you with all the blessings attached to it.

PRAYER: O Lord i refuse to just be aware of your Covenant promises for my life but to be work by it in Jesus' name.
I recieve grace to be obedient unto your commandments.
