HOW TO GET THE FIRE OF GOD

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
MONNDAY, 5TH JUNE 2017

TOPIC: HOW TO GET THE FIRE OF GOD  

SCRIPTURE: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service - Romans 12:1

MEMORY VERSE: Romans 12:11

DIGGING DEEP: Today we will observe one of the greatest weapons or keys to attracting the fire of God. There is a major relationship between a life of sacrifice and the fire of God. The place of sacrifice is the venue for the fire of God. This is because from time immemorial, whenever sacrifice is placed on an altar fire comes. So the absence of sacrifice is the absence of fire.

The major requirement for God's fire upon our lives, is living a sacrificed life unto God. Studying through the Scripture you will never find fire falling before presenting a sacrifice. Without sacrifice, there is no fire.

The epitome of sacrifice is Jesus. He gave his life sacrificially; when He had nothing else to give, He gave Himself. Sacrifice is the power to lay down your all and indeed your life unto God. Until you lay it down you can't have the fire of God upon you.

Living a sacrificed life is living your life without your influence in it. It is living your life without your agenda in it. It is allowing God to control everything about your life. That was what Apostle meant when he said that "it is no longer i that lives but Christ that lives in me, the life i now live in the body, i live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me." A sacrificed life is one living under the influence of God.
Our anchor Scripture states that we should present ourselves as a living sacrifice. The highest form of sacrifice you can give unto God is to give your self unto Him. If you can give your body (flesh) to Him then you can enjoy the flow of grace, the anointing and the energy of His Spirit.

The degree to which you sacrifice will be the degree of the fire of God upon your life!
I want you to say this: "Lord, i release myself unto you burn in me. Everything and anything in my life that hinders your fire be it ego, addiction, and any form of flesh's activities is placed before you today burn it all away and burn in me like never before in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: O Lord i make a commitment to be on fire for you daily in Jesus' name.

ENCOUNTERING SUPERNATURAL FIRE

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SUNDAY, 4TH JUNE 2017

TOPIC: ENCOUNTERING SUPERNATURAL FIRE

SCRIPTURE: 1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 
2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
6Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 
7he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
Isaiah 6:1-7

MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 6:7

DIGGING DEEP: The reason why many today complain and give God excuses for their in abilities, shy away from the power and move of God is because they have not encountered the fire of God. The fire of God is irresistable and propelling.
Scripture is loaded with examples of people who encountered the fire of God. For instance:
1.  Moses had encounter with God in the burning bush and his assignment and mantle was released. Moses' destiny and identity was unveiled supernaturally by encounter with the fire of God(Exodus 3:2). He ended four hundred years old bondage that had ravaged Isreal.
2. Gideon was hidding from the enemies that have been ravaging his people and ransacking their harvest. The angel of the Lord appeared unto him and told him how mighty he is and what God wants to use him for. But Gideon kept playing hide and seek until the fire appeared (Judges 6:21); after that encounter he built an altar and started raising armies. If you don't contact the fire you can't raise a generation that will do the  extraordinary and achieve uncommon things for God.
3. The Apostles encoutered the fire of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-2) and it was reported that they turned the world upside down. They healed the sick, raised the dead, got people baptised in the Holy Ghost and much more. This fire made them rugged and fervent in serving God.
Our anchor Scripture reveals that the fire of God ends excuses. The fire purges and purifies.
Finally, many major prophetic voices are products of fire encounter. This voices are  declaring a great move of God that is breaking forth in cities and nations. This move of God's fire is sweeping across the earth, burning up anything the enemy have set up or revealed in systems and societies hence revealing the presence and power of the Lord and His kingdom in remarkable ways.
It won't just be pockets of fire but it will be large engulfing nations and regions,  setting them ablaze with the reality of God so that everyone everywhere has a chance to tangibly Divine encounter and know His love, His goodness and the reality of His salvation.
I pray that you, encounter Divine fire.

PRAYER: O Lord, use me as your agent of change in Jesus' name.
I recieve the fire of the Holy Spirit now in Jesus' name

MAKING OF FIREBRANDS

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SATURDAY, 3RD JUNE 2017

TOPIC: MAKING OF FIREBRANDS

SCRIPTURE: I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to hear: he shall baptize you with Holy Ghost and with fire:
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner, but he will burn up with unquenchable fire - Matthew 3:11-12

MEMORY VERSE: Revelation 11:5

DIGGING DEEP: There is a difference between the ministry of Jesus and His assignment while He was physically on earth. His assignment was to come die as a sacrificial lamb for the sins of the world. And the purpose was to raise children unto the Lord, and coheirs of the kingdom. But on His way to accomplishing that purpose, He was going about running with a ministry. The ministry was the platform on which He showed man who God is, taught the people, delivered and set the captives free. Jesus died and ressurected fulfilling His assignment but the ministry still bears heavy weight upon the lives of people all over the world today.
No one simply described the ministry of Jesus' like John the Baptist. He said two valuable things of great importance:
a. The personality of Jesus: "but he that cometh after me is mightier than I..." This was well proven in the ministry of Christ. He did mighty things (Matthew 13:54, Mark 6:14) and He is still doing it today through His sons and daughters here on earth.
b. The component of the ministry: "...he shall baptize you with Holy Ghost and with fire..." 
I want to let you know that the fire of the Holy Spirit is erupting in nations today, God is raising fire brands and a fire generation who will not be lukewarm, tepid and non enthusiastic about God. People who love the Lord with passion, and pursue God with unquenchable desire, they don't succumb to battles nor pressures to fulfil the pleasures of flesh, but are tough and powerful.
HOW ARE FIREBRANDS MADE? 
1. ACCEPT JESUS: If you have given your life to Jesus do you know what you carry in your inner core? You carry the unquenchable, powerful fire of God. You are simply a mobile fire. Just like the birds of Samson was lite and carried fire (Judges 15:5) so are you.
2. STAY UNDER HIS TOUCH:  "Whose fan is in his hand..." If you truly release yourself to the Lord this fire burns in you until you get to meet the Lord who is described as fire Himself.
Our text reveals that there is a fan in His hand that is used to fan the fire in us. If you keep staying under His touch, He will fan you until you become a blazing fire. Every fan provides breeze (wind so to say) and this is the person of the Holy Spirit (John 3:8). I see a burning generation rising and you will be a part of this in Jeaus' name.
Finally, the fire will take off the chaff of sin, the chaff of wickedness, curses and so on. This is done so that we are spotless before the Most Holy God.
Say this "O Lord, fan your flame alive in me, burn in me now and always until i become a true fire brand in Jesus' name."

PRAYER: O Lord set me on fire for you in Jesus' name.
My Lord, burn away every chaff of unforgiveness, malice, lies, coveteousness and every hidden sin in me now in Jesus' name.
By the fire of the Holy Spirit, i burn off addiction (name it) out of my life in Jesus' name.

INTEGRITY AND FAVOUR

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
FRIDAY, 2ND JUNE 2017

TOPIC: INTEGRITY AND FAVOUR

SCRIPTURE: By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever - Psalm 41:11-13

MEMORY VERSE: Proverbs 11:3

DIGGING DEEP: We live in a society where iniquity is clebrated above righteousness. A world that has largely abandoned moral standards and Christian/godly principles.
But God longs for His people to be different—to maintain a commitment to His standards, no matter what the cost is.
Integrity means to integrate Gods commands and values into your daily living. It is operating the standard of God everywhere, anyday and anytime.
A person of integrity is the same person in private that he or she is in public. It means that a person of integrity does not have a two faced existence.
Integrity is the value of your personality. It is the networth of your person.
Integrity is a major booster of  perception: how you are percieved determines how you are recieved, and  how you are recieved determines what you will recieve.
Integrity defines your character, your character defines who you are and your character either brings about question mark or an exclammation mark.
Beloved, it is better that your character brings an exclammation of praise and glory back to God and the secret to this is your integrity.
If your stand is solid, it means that your integrity is solid: because if the integrity of a building is compromised calamity is unavoidable. So to avoid calamity in life and destiny, integrity is very vital.
Our anchor Scripture reveals that favour becomes your trademark when you operate in integrity. Integrity can activate favour upon your life. A person who lacks integrity, lacks character and the absence of character makes people and God detaste you hence the absence of favour. A man or woman of integrity is a delight.
Daniel and his friends determined in their heart to keep the integrity of Gods cammands by not defiling themselves with the kings meat and drinks By this Daniel 1:9 says that "...God had caused the official to show favor and compassion to Daniel" (NIV). You cannot have integrity and not carry favour.
I decree upon you that as you begin to operate in integrity, may the favour of God rest upon you in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: O Lord, i break any wrong personality and identity that my lack of integrity has formed in Jesus' name
I begin to operate in integrity from now in Jesus' name.

QUOTE: Every Divine cammand leaves a demand on you.
You cannot keep Gods command and not be in demand - Dr. Dabbas Joel

WAITING UPON THE LORD

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
THURSDAY, 1ST JUNE 2017

TOPIC: WAITING UPON THE LORD

SCRIPTURE: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint - Isaiah 40:31

MEMORY VERSE: Acts 1:7-8

DIGGING DEEP: Waiting on the Lord is camping with God. It is not been too busy to seek Gods heart, His ways and His face. It is having time with God no matter the tightness of your schedules. It is putting God has a major part of your schedules. It is taking time out from the presence of men and embedding yourself into the atmosphere of the throne of grace. There are folks today who wait on God only when there is a need at hand, and there are those who don't wait upon the Lord at all.  Waiting on the Lord helps you maintain the steam of consistency with the Lord. Consistently waiting upon the Lord brings you to a realm of 'high tension flow' of supernatural electrical charge. It is a generator of strong intimacy with the Father. It emboldens our spirit, and empowers our faith. What makes us grow consistenly deep in the Lord is our contact with Him. Learn not to make your contact with God not seasonal but daily and improve to the level that it is instant in season and out of season. By this your spiritual temperature will not be subnormal but perfectly normal.
Our anchor Scripture reveals three great effect of waiting on the Lord:
1. Renewed Strength: Those that wait upon the Lord are always fresh in the spirit. They are not dry, everytime they speak the word, it is fresh, their ideas are fresh and even their personality is fresh. There is renewed energy, zeal and passion. Many are moribound and weak in pursuit of God and their dreams, assignment and calling because of the lack of energy. You cannot consistenly be waiting upon God and lack the energy you need for life and destiny.
2. Mount Up: There is no way you will be waiting on God and you mount down in life. You always mount up because the one you are focusing upon is the Most High.
3. Your Steps Are Progressive: It does not matter your state either you are running, walking or flying you can't faint or be weary. This means you can't get frustrated or tired along the way, you just keep on making spiritual and physical progress.
HOW TO WAIT UPON THE LORD:
A. Periodic Consecrational Fast: You can't wait on God fasting and your life won't be on the fast lane because fasting is the sacrifice of flesh before the altar of God and so the weight of flesh cannot slow you down.
B. Consistent Praying Life: Praying is a powerful tool of communion with God. Waiting upon the Lord empowers your communion with God and increases unction.
C. Persistent Study Of The Word Of God And Relevant Books: Reading Gods word exposes your mind to the mind of the Lord and you begin to mind the things He minds. And He mends the things that ought to be mended in your life.
D. Untiring Desire For God: Waiting is sponsored by your passion and desire for God. It is the vehicle to getting Divine attention anytime because God flows in the direction of the heart of those who desire Him.
Today develop and unquenchable desire to wait upon God.

PRAYER:  O Lord i wait on you, give me strength to pursue your asssignment for my life in Jesus' name.

SECRET TO ANSWERED PRAYERS

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
WEDNESDAY, 31ST MAY 2017

TOPIC: SECRET TO ANSWERED PRAYERS

SCRIPTURE: Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them - Matthew 18:19-20

MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 21:22

DIGGING DEEP: Answers to prayers is a prove of Divine visitation and presence around us. God answers us when we pray to show to the world that we are not calling on a none existing God, to prove to us that He loves us and that He hears us when we call upon Him. Our anchor Scripture shows that one key to answered prayers is the absence of disagreement.
God dislikes disunity, arguements, unhealthy debates, quarreling, the absence of peace and tranquility in a place,  people, church and family. This is a cheap way to make the Holy Spirit step aside of the affairs of our lives.
Disagreement is one stronghold for unanswered prayers. It is a satanic device to waste our prayer fire and disprove that our Lord is not a prayer answering God.
Keeping offense is a cheap way of removing ourselves from the fence of Gods blessings. It breaks our defence and brings in the enemy which blocks us from recieving answers.
Praying together does not equal praying in agreement. When prayer comes from people in discord it comes like a noise unto God and it is unpleasant; but when it comes from people in agreement, their voice resounds before God in harmonious sound which is pleasant unto God. Praying in disagreement is noise, but praying in agreement is making harmonious sound unto God. It gets Gods attention and produces answers.
Praying together with saints, your wife and family builds strengthen in us and empowers relationship. Beloved, without intentional, spiritual relationships, our love for God can grow cold.
Agreement is an unbreakable two fold cord ("That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done..."). It binds expectations to answers. It moves expectations from it's crude state to it's refined state.
Agreement is a product of forgiveness which is the bedrock for accessing God. Because you can't habour unforgiveness and expect God to hear you.
Unforgiveness polutes our spiritual atmosphere, weakens and incapacitates our faith and so we have no strength to draw answers from the presence of God.
Today, do all you can to stop the devil in his tracks by cutting off the cord of disunity and quarreling in your home and amongst brethren. Allow the joyful, loving and calm atmosphere of the Holy Spirit to reign in your life and in your midst. By so doing we will be amazed at the amazing results we get when we approach the throne of grace for anything.
Remember that our expectations can be turned into tangible realities if we are in agreement.
I pray for you, anything fuelling disagreement in your home is arrested now in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: I come against every seed of disagreement in my home be destroyed right now in Jesus' name.
I decree and declare that the joy of the Lord fills my heart always in Jesus' name.
Today i forgive all those who have hurt me in Jesus' name.

THE POWER OF PERSEVERANCE.

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
TUESDAY, 30TH MAY 2017

TOPIC: THE POWER OF PERSEVERANCE. 

SCRIPTURE: And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it - Numbers 13:30

MEMORY VERSE: Romans 5:3-4

DIGGING DEEP: Every conqueror you see has an irresistable force flowing within and it is the force of perseverance. Successful people never give up. They sustain the motion of their assignment, dreams and destiny by a "don’t quit attitude" even when they encounter inevitable roadblocks and setbacks. They keep trying, working, and persisting long after the average person has thrown in the towel. They persevere to the end.
One of the most common causes of failure is quitting too soon.
Perseverance is the staying power of champions. It is the energy behind their ruggedity, the energy behind their consistency.
There is no insurmountable barrier that can stop you except for the lack of persistence. Most failures are due to not having a bulldog like tenacity.
There is a connection between perserverance and faith. The strength of perserverance is hope, and hope is a major ingredient of faith (Hebrews 11:1). So therefore, the absence of perseverance births faithlessness and then hopelessness which makes one to give up easily.
Perseverance dissolves obstacles. The only guarantee for failure is to stop trying.
Quitting has more to do with your mentality than external events. Mentality shapens your personality and your personality becomes your identity.
Many today are quitters and that is why we have more starters than finishers and more beginners than graduates.
Perserving spirit births steadfastness and it makes your faith work even under presssure. It gives you ability to focus on your goals rather than the distractions around.
Caleb in our anchor Scripture was speaking after some selected people brought a faithless news that going to Cannan is an impossible task. They literaly told them to forget about the promise and quit. But Caleb full of faith stood up and said we are well able. Beloved, God won't give you and asssignment without grace to help through. Before the asssignment was given, grace was released, so don't give up nor quit. You are able and capable of achieving that dream. Recieve the tenacity to push until something happens in Jesus' name.
Remember this: If you must enter into the blessings God has reserved for you, then you must persevere.

PRAYER: O Lord i refuse to give up in Jesus' name.
I recieve the finishers anointing in Jesus' name.
Every seed of inconsistency delaying the manifestation of my destiny i destroy now in Jesus' name.
