COMPONENTS OF THANKSGIVING

TREASURES OF GRACE (Daily Devotional)
WEDNESDAY, 21ST FEBRUARY 2017

TOPIC: COMPONENTS OF THANKSGIVING
SCRIPTURE: LUKE 17:12-19
12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 35:18

DIGGING DEEP: We are absolutely helpless outside God. These folks in our text where expelled from the people and were to spend the rest of their lives in isolation. This was a life sentence to loneliness, from help, and any form of livelihood till they were healed or they die. But Jesus while entering the city passed by the quarantined area and released the word of power that changed their lives forever. But in the end one person distinguished himself from the others by returning thanks to God. Hence he revealed five components of thanksgiving which are:
1) EXPECTATION: "And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus." They obviously have been anticipating that someday a miracle will come their way. The desire was so strong that as soon as they sighted Jesus, they expressed it out. What we expect we anticipate, what we anticipate we experience. Expectation is the spiritual sensor that tracks miracles.
2) OBESERVE: “When he saw he was healed” One powerful key to thanksgiving is observation or to notice what God has done or has started to do. Many people are not sensitive enough to notice anything GOD has done so they don't praise Him. A good thinker is a good thanks giver.
3) COMEBACK: “Has no one returned?” Coming back is like homecoming, coming back to the God who started it all for you. It is the hallmark of a thanksgiver. Anything God does for us, He expects us to return to give Him praise. Anyone who can return to give God thanks God will turn and overturn blessings upon him.
4) WORSHIP: “He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him”: Anyone that can thank God deeply can worship Him deeply. The better our thanks to God, the better our worship. Beloved, the way you thank GOD is a reflection of how much you value what He has done for you and reveals how you worship.
5) PRAISE: “Praising God in a loud voice” Praise is the ecstatic show that explodes from our heart, soul, strength and mind. Worship opens our hearts and spirit but praise opens our mouth and gives our worship expression.
Remember this: Anything God does for you, however "little" it is declare it in thanksgiving and watch your life bevome a theatre of miracles.

PRAYER: O Lord, i return to You thanksgiving.

THE FIGHT OF FAITH

TREASURES OF GRACE (Daily Devotional)
TUESDAY, 21ST FEBRUARY 2017

TOPIC: THE FIGHT OF FAITH
SCRIPTURE: Matthew 4
3 During that time the devil a came and said to him, “If you the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.” (NLT)
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that
proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him

MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 4:10

DIGGING DEEP: The fight of Faith is the battle between who you believe and who wants you to believe in him. It is the battle between your culture and tradition as opposed to the system of God. It is a battle between believe and unbelieve. It is a war against the lies of the devil and the truth of our Lord.
It is the battle between what is written in the Bible and what is happening in reality. Jesus was confronted in like manner, the devil challenged His sonship (Matthew 4:3, 5), he tempted Him against the word of God (Matthew 4:4), tempted Him with position and the wealth of this world (Matthew 4:5-9), but Jesus attacked him with what is written. Whenever the devil speaks and you don't attack back with the word of God, you are signing up for defeat. Understand that what is written is the answer to what threatens.
Any time you face battles and challenges that opposes your destiny and Gods purpose(s) for your life you are up against the fight of faith.
The truth is that when there is faith failure it will absolutely result into life failure because the righteous lives by faith ( Romans 1:17).
Beloved, what is written about you and in the word will always be confronted by occurring events.  The promises of God will always be confronted by the lies of the devil.
Finally, the fight of faith, is standing against satanic resistance against your walk with God, your love for service and the manifestation of Gods prophetic word over your life.
I prophecy over you today, any opposition delaying the manifestation of Gods prophecy over your life is dismantled now. I decree Angelic assistance over your life in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: O Lord any dream or vision that You gave me and i have abandoned due to confrontation today i take hold on them now and i begin to live it to the fullest in Jesus' name.
My Father my helper any opposition from men trying to discourage me from fulfilling destiny i overcome now in Jesus' name.
I overcome satanic realities with Gods truth now in Jesus' name.

A SPECIAL AFFAIR

TREASURES OF GRACE (Daily Devotional)
MONDAY, 20TH FEBRUARY 2017

TOPIC: A SPECIAL AFFAIR
SCRIPTURE: The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee - Jeremiah 31:3

MEMORY VERSE: Ephesians 2:4

DIGGING DEEP: Naturally before a man can love another there must be an attraction lets say to beauty, charisma, intelligence and so on but God's love is never provoked by anything, we did nothing to merit His love. He just loves us, even before we were created or knew Him.
The love of God carries with it the attributes and affections of God, it is allied with them all. For instance when Gods love appears His omnipotence, boundless wisdom, unspotted purity, undeviating righteousness, His unperturbed peaceful reign, beauty, power and so on shows up. Experiencing His love is experiencing His nature and His life. It is carrying the signature of His personality in and around you.
Today's anchor Scripture reveals three things:

a) HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH US: "I have loved you..." Just like in every other true relationship, true love must have the one loved, must have the companionship, the fellowship, and the nearness or closeness. God is telling us how close He is to us.

b) THE NATURE OF HIS LOVE: "...with an everlasting love..." Gods love for you is spaceless, and boundless. It is beyond you, beyond your time, beyond your world, beyond all your ways of thinking and working. That is why Gods love is beyond race, cultures, boundaries, nations, and kingdoms. It is instant in season and out of season. It is an unending spring. It is simply forever.

c) HIS LOVE IS MAGNETIC: "...I have drawn you with my lovingkindness." God always pulls us to Himself by His love. His love is active everywhere, everday and everytime. You are reading this right now and you haven't received the love of God to mankind (Jesus) or you received Him but along the line you have abused and is still abusing this love. It is not too late to release yourself into His love again.
Any one that is not born again only experiences just a measure of His love but if you accept Jesus you will experience the total measure of His love.
Remember this: Men fall in love, but God does not fall in love because He is love and he loves us and He's in love with us.

PRAYER: O Lord i thank you for Your boundless love that has located me, help me to express this love to the unsaved today in Jesus' name.

ANOINTED BY SERVICE

TREASURES OF GRACE (Daily Devotional)
SUNDAY, 19TH FEBRUARY 2017

TOPIC: ANOINTED BY SERVICE
SCRIPTURE: I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. Psalm 89:20-21

MEMORY VERSE: Exodus 29:7

DIGGING DEEP: The oil of God is never for jokers. It does land on uncommitted folks because God does not waste resources.
It is interesting to know that what we look for from God is actually looking for us. The anointing is looking for a man to come upon. 
Our anchor Scripture said "I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him." 
David was the youngest son in the family of Jesse, he suffered rejection and was always abandoned to take care of the family sheep, but Gods oil pulled him into lime light.The oil gave him kingship, the oil gave him boldness and power to fight and conquer Goliath.
The anointing is finder, it is a discoverer. Beloved there are some potentials in you that is lying dormant but when the oil of God locates you, it will come alive. Some people no matter what they do the qualities in them is never noticed but when God finds you out with his oil, those virtues begins to find expression and acceptance.
What qualities of those who can attract the oil of God upon their lives:
1] People who are committed to the Father's business: Out of all of David's brothers he was the only one busy tending for thee sheep. The cheapest way to get the oil of God via service.

2] Commitment: It is your commitment to God that commits God to you. God only responds to those who respond to Him.

3] People with perfect heart: 2 Chronicles 16:9 "For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are perfect to him." A perfect heart attracts God anytime, any day and anywhere. 
I prophesy that you will experience the oil of God on your life this day in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: O Lord locate me with Your Holy oil in Jesus' name.
Anything in me repelling me from been anointed i break now in Jesus' name.

QUOTE: If you are not committed to God, you will be omitted from His oil - Dr. Dabbas Joel

NO LONGER AT EASE

TREASURES OF GRACE (Daily Devotional)
FRIDAY, 17TH FEBRUARY 2017

TOPIC: NO LONGER AT EASE
SCRIPTURE: Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came! - Amos 6:1

MEMORY VERSE: John 9:4

DIGGING DEEP: Our anchor Scripture today states that "Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!"
The meaning of this is that:
1] God is never tolerant of a double standard existence.
2] It is possible to be in church and yet you don't trust God.
3] Nothing attracts divine curse like trusting and placing trust on the gods of this world rather than Him.
What has made many today to become complacent and unserious with God and His work is because they have alternatives. They trust on other sources other than God. For example there are those who feel secured because they have money and so have shifted their trust in God to  money. Anyone with such mentality and attitude have shifted from the realm of the blessed to the realm of the cursed. Because if your allegiance is not unto God then His Angel's can't be your guide.
If God is your treasure, He will be your concern. Any one who is not dependent on God is attracting a curse on himself.
If you sit in church doing nothing for God and His kingdom, God will do nothing for you. This is because God only pay those who work for Him and owe only those who serve Him. Bless God our God owes no one and He pays really big.
It is time to do something for God not occasionally but regularly, with the sense of absolute trust in Him.
Beloved many people are becoming complacent they are now alright if they don't study the word of God, they are ok even when they don't pray anymore, they don't miss anything if they don't attend church meetings. God wants you to change. It is time to say NO! to complacency.
Remember this: Never make God your second choice, let Him always be your number one.

PRAYER: O Lord in the name of Jesus cure me of every form of complacency.

PROVOKING A NEW BEGINNING

TREASURES OF GRACE (Daily Devotional)
SATURDAY, 18TH FEBRUARY 2017

TOPIC: PROVOKING A NEW BEGINNING
 SCRIPTURE: 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 43:19.

MEMORY VERSE: Genesis 1:1-3

DIGGING DEEP: Nothing just happens, events someway somehow are stimulated. For example the earth was formless and void but when God showed up new things began to happen. New beginning is a proof of divine intervention; and is the manifestation of the moves and acts of God. Anytime the acts of God is experienced a new miracle account is opened.

HOW TO PROVOKE NEW BEGINNING:1] BRING GOD IN: Revelation 21:5 "...I make all things new". It is divine participation in our lives that guarantees newness and freshness. With out God life is stale and decaying. God cannot be involved in our lives and new things won't happen to us. Obededom was just a citizen in Isreal, his family was not known in politics or for anything. They where just leaving the ordinary life but when the ark of God entered his house the news of the move of God in his family attracted even the attention of the king (1 Chronicles 13:14-15). I don't know if you are ignored or not valued in your family, community or nation if you can bring God on into your life, you will become a living wonder.

2] CHANGE THE WAY YOU SEE THINGS: God said " Behold, i will do..." Understand that what you see is what you can cease. If you see your life from the perspective of events and circumstances, you will be sacrificing your miracles with the sword of faithlessness. If it must happen now, you must begin to see it from Gods own perspective. Because whatever you can not conceive, you cannot receive.

3] ADD ACTION TO YOUR ATTITUDE: Your outlook is determined by your attitude. The function you dare to do qualifies you for the unction God will release upon you. And the unction from God is the stimulator of new capacities and abilities in your life.

4] BEGIN TO KNOW DIFFERENTLY: "... shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert." The state of your life is the state of your knowledge base. If you know differently, you will act differently. If you act differently, you will see new results.
Know now if man cannot make way in the wilderness of our lives God can.
Know that if it is impossible to find water in our desert places God can opened up rivers for us.
Remember this: No God, no new beginnings.
I prophesy that your season of absolute turnaround is come in Jesus’ Name.

PRAYER: O Lord my God do a new thing in my life in Jesus' name (mention areas of your life you want God to do something new for you)

QUOTE: God does not need you, if you don't need Him - Dr. Dabbas Joel

CEASELESS SEEKERS

TREASURES OF GRACE (Daily Devotional)
ThURSDAY, 16TH FEBRUARY 2017

TOPIC: CEASELESS SEEKERS
SCRIPTURE: But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul - Deuteronomy 4:29
MEMORY VERSE: Jeremiah 29:13

DIGGING DEEP: Imagine that God is your friend, just as He was to Abraham, imagine that you are the one that God speaks to face to face and mouth to mouth just like He did with Moses. How amazing life will be. Let me ask you these questions. Do you want to experience God? Do you want to know and have more of Him? If yes, then you aren't far from touching God. Many people today are wearied and tired of seeking God, some because what they expected from God hasn't come through yet. If your quest for God is all about "Lord give me", you can never experience the kingdom. Abraham our patriach had a dieless hunger for God and Hebrews 11:10 says that "For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God." 
It is an established fact that the only access to discovering anything in God is in our hunger to seek Him. To have a ceaseless and ageless hunger and thirst for God is a powerful force that pulls you into the very depth of God. There are ancient foundations you will stumble into, there are structures you will walk into, there are realms and dimensions of God that you will experience if you begin to cultivate a ceaseless appetite for God.
The anchor Scripture admonishes us to henceforth seek the Lord our God with our heart and with all our soul." God is looking for seekers, and interestingly God reveals Himself only to seekers.
To be a seeker of God is for your whole beign to be inspired to passionately, energetically, and joyfully go hard after God, with tireless perseverance and unyielding determination.
God has no shortage of men,  He is only short of genuine seekers.
Beloved, there are ancient Mantle's that are just laying dormant, there is an heavy annointing the world has never seen that is stayed in the presence of God, it is only seekers that can get it.  If you and i will yield unto God today with an unquenchable hunger we will discover that we will literally bring heaven down to earth.
I pray for you may your hunger for God be ceaseless in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord, i want to have ceaseless hunger for you. Let my testimony be that the more i know You, the more i want to know You in Jesus' name.

QUOTE: Until you have a quest for God, you will always be a guest to the moves of God - Dr. Dabbas Joel
