PURPOSE AND THE MOVE OF GOD

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
MONDAY, 12TH JUNE 2017

TOPIC: PURPOSE AND THE MOVE OF GOD

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 bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire - Matthew 3:11

MEMORY VERSE:  Romans 12:1

DIGGING DEEP: There is no one on earth that doesn't have a purpose. Every purpose has three important aspects:
a. Every purpose has a timing or session.
b. Every purpose has an end.
c. Every purpose has capacity to generate effect or impact. That is why living a purposeless life results in an impactless life. A purposeless life is a waste of God's investment and opportunity.
John the Baptist was the fore runner for the ministry of our Lord Jesus. His basic purpose was to prepare the way for the Lord to come and make His paths straight. In our text we observe that:
1. Know what you carry and stay on your limit: John knew that he as the 'water baptism anointing' and that was where he stayed, spooning and developing it until his voice in the wilderness had amazing influence upon the city. There is something that God has given to you, there is an asssignment you were sent to accomplish identifying it and staying on it produces impact.
2. He was willing for the next move of God: He was ready to introduce the next move of God. Even though he won't be the driver of that move but is ready to usher it in. Beloved wether you like it or not, there is going to come a time that you have to leave the stage but the question is that what have you truly done with your time. Because the truth is if you don't do your part it will affect or delay the next move. Many times seasons are interconnected, that is why we must do all we can to judiciously make use of what the Lord has given to us now.
3. He advertised Jesus to the people: There are many today who because of little miracles God does through them people literally worship them and take glory that belongs to God to themselves. The people of his time were busy looking for the Messiah. He didn't take the Glory or say that he is the one but rather he pointed them to Jesus.


PRAYER: O Lord help me not to miss purpose in Jesus' name.

JEHOVAH TSIDKENU

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SUNDAY, 11TH JUNE 2017

TOPIC: JEHOVAH TSIDKENU

SCRIPTURE: 5 “The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land. 
6 In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The LORD Our Righteous Savior - Jeremiah 23:5-6

MEMORY VERSE:  Jeremiah 23:6

DIGGING DEEP: Today we want to study why we are rightoeus and how to stay righteous. Jehovah Tsidkenu means the Lord our righteousness.
Becoming righteous is a responsibility for all who are in Christ. Righteousness describes our relationship status with God. Anyone who have not recieved Jesus has Lord and king is not righteous and has no relationship with God.
Righteousness is very important because it does not only reflect your state of relationship with God but it has a huge impact on our daily affair. Our text reveal that when a righteous branch is raised two things will happen:
a. Wisdom will be on display: "... a King who will reign wisely..." This shows that righteousness is a linker to wisdom. Foolishness is the hallmark of unrighteousness.
b. Just and right performance: "... and do what is just and right in the land." To do good and act well is a product of righteousness.
I want you to understand that just like a branch is cut from one and grafted into another plant. In like manner we were disconnected from unrigteousness and grafted into the family of God (the family tree of righteousness). After grafting is completed,  what flows in this grafted branch is not from the old plant again but from the new plant it was now grafted into.  Sotherefore, the  nature and character that flows in us is that of God hence our righteousness is not of us but of Him. We are dependent on God to be righteous. The only way we can become unrighteous is when God becomes unrighteous, and it is never possible for God to be unrighteous and secondly when we decide to allow ourselves to become regrafted into the works of flesh. So long we remain engrafted in God we are righteous.
God is our righteousness. You do not try to be righteous it naturally flows through you. If you are properly grafted in God and remain in Him, you can't henceforth live your life your own way, because your dependancy is totally on God. His will is your will, His life is in you, His nature becomes your nature and what God hates you naturally hate. You no more live a religious centred life but a God centred life. Religion will say "it is not possible for a human to live totally free of sin" but a God centred life says "it is possible."
Struggling to live right won't be necessary if righteousness flows in you.
Finally, remember that God is your righteousness and He wants you to live a righteous life.
I pray for you, remain grafted in Christ in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: O Lord, help me to exhibit You everyday in Jesus' name.

SERVICE: PATHWAY TO HONOUR

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SATURDAY, 10TH JUNE 2017

TOPIC: SERVICE: PATHWAY TO HONOUR

SCRIPTURE: If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour - John 12:26

MEMORY VERSE: John 12:25

DIGGING DEEP: God has called us to serve Him. Servants are not known by their titles, nor by position. Servants are products of service. True servants are products of loyal, obedient and dedicated service unto God.
Servants are those who have surrendered their purpose unto God. It is a state whereby you say i have nothing on my own to pursue but you Lord. With this type of mentality, no matter the sphere you are right now or will be, you will be a proper kingdom ambassador carrying God's agenda everywhere you find yourself. This kind of people don't separate God from their business, career or family. They know that if God is not involved it will be devoured.
Service is an open cheque from God to man. It is not an invitation handed only to a particular race, tribe or tongue. Anywhere you are on earth, no matter your background, Jesus says that "If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be..." The implication of this is that:
1. There is a place in God you can never get to unless you serve Him.
2. There is a realm that only service can get you into.
3. Divine presence explodes in a place that kingdom service is prime: "...where I am, there shall also my servants be..." You can't be serving God and not experience Him. When you keep serving God, you will keep having Him.
Service is a major vehicle that transports you into the extra-natural realm of power, grace, anointing, insight, and impact.
Service is a visa into the realm of God. For instance the realm of God there is fullness of joy, hence you can't be serving God and you won't enjoy joy.
God honours those who serve Him. He distinguishes faithful servants. Service is a gateway to a life of distinction.
Finally, you can't serve God and not be distinguished in life.

PRAYER: O Lord by service distinguish me in all arear of my life in Jesus' name amen.

HUMILITY: GATEWAY TO ANSWERED PRAYERS

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
FRIDAY, 9TH JUNE 2017

TOPIC: HUMILITY: GATEWAY TO ANSWERED PRAYERS

SCRIPTURE: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land - 2 Chronicles 7:14

MEMORY VERSE: Jeremiah 33:3

DIGGING DEEP: Everyday on the surface of the earth many cry unto God in prayers but sadly not many recieve answers. Infact it is not all of these prayers that God hears. This is because, with God actions are more relevant than words (1 Samuel 2:3). That is to say that God does not respond because the words used in praying is sugar coated, nor because of the power of oratory of that individual, neither because of the long hours spent in praying. If we know how to do all of these and humility is lacken, result and answers will still be absent.
Our anchor text says that " If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." From this we understand that:
1. Been called by His name and you lack humility you will struggle to get answers: This means that you might be called a prayer warrior or labelled a prayer machine, a pastor, bishop and so on but if you are haughty at heart you won't recieve answers to prayers.
2. Humility is a powerful link to getting the ears (attention) of God.
3. Humility makes our prayers powerful and commands answers
Beloved, if we must get undeniable access to God and answers to prayers one major key is humility. Humility grants you acceptance before God. Humble people easily get Divine attention, hence they recieve answers cheaply.
Deficiency in humility equals deficiency in answers to prayers.
The lifestyle of humility is a necessity to all who crave for answers to prayers and for those who wants to be guided by God.
Humble people do not have care of anything else other than God. Humility fuels trust in God, trust empowers faith, faith stimulates God to answer you. Faith becomes meaningful in the atmosphere of humility because humility removes resistance and engenders grace (James 4:6).
Faith triggers the power of God and the power of God explodes in the atmosphere of humility.
God’s presence easily permeates an environment of humility. It is an atmosphere of humility that engages the Almighty. It is an entrance into an exciting life with the Lord. God saves the humble, but brings low the proud. Pride fuels arrogancy, it makes you trust in your intelligence, your knowledge, your position, your wealth and makes you gradually loose trust in God. You must guard your heart jealously to avoid been robbed of the blessings of God by the seed of pride. Nothing shuts one out of the presence of God like pride.  No matter the results you have experienced, no matter the manifestations (miracles and move) of God you have seen whenever you come to God be humble.
Finally prayer without humility is waste of time. Praying without humility is like shouting in an empty space and your voice re-echoing back to you.
Remember today that when humility is lacken answers to prayer will be lacken.

PRAYER: O Lord any seed of pride that as been eating up my answers to prayers i destroy it now in Jesus' name.

MOUNT UP FOR THE FIRE

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
THURSDAY, 8TH JUNE 2017

TOPIC: MOUNT UP FOR THE FIRE

SCRIPTURE: “The sight of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire on top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.” Exodus 24:17 

MEMORY VERSE: Luke 6:12

DIGGING DEEP: Our anchor Scripture reveals that the fire is on top of the mountain. Not in the valley. The valley amongst others represents:
a. Avenue of negative associations, idolatry and false worship (Jer. 7:32; Jer. 2:23).
b. Represents a place of depression and spiritual low levels.
c. Associated with Unfaithfulness
d. Represents the state of spiritual dryness, lifelessness and unrevived spirit (Ezekiel 37:1-14)
If staying on the mountain gives us access to the fire of God. What then is this mountain?
A. It is a place where you are alone with God: Luke 6:12 stated that Jesus "And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God"
B. It is a place of Divine revelation and insight
C. It is a place of Divine instruction
D. It is a place of Divine encounter
E. It is a place of prayer
F. A place of the word of God
Going to the moutain top was a regular habit we see in our Lord Jesus. It might not be that you go to the mountain today, but when you shut yourself from others to seek God's face, you are positioned on the mountain already.
Many are in the valley– God is going to take you to the top. Until you mount up, you can not be fired up.
Finally, consistent study of the word, prayer and fasting removes spiritual weights that pull us down and we gain velocity to climb into the mountain of supernatural fire.
I pray for you, that you will be dedicated to growing the fire of God in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: I recieve tireless commitment to keep the fire burning in Jesus' name.

COMPONENTS OF SUPERNATURAL FIRE

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
WEDNESDAY, 7TH JUNE 2017

TOPIC: COMPONENTS OF SUPERNATURAL FIRE

SCRIPTURE:“The sight of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire on top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.” Exodus 24:17 

MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 104:4

DIGGING DEEP: There are components or contents of the fire of God that makes it unique. This is what differentiates Divine fire from any other fire. Let me ask you? What is inside the fire of God that makes it entirely different in every way?  Let us consider three amongst others:

1. THE HOLINESS OF GOD: Isaiah 33:14 (NLT) says that"The sinners in Jerusalem shake with fear. Terror seizes the godless. "who can live with this devouring fire?” they cry. " who can survive this all-consuming fire?” God is the consuming fire (Deuteronomy 4:24), so to live around the fire of God and not be consumed or destroyed by it, means that you are holy. Holiness is a major content of the fire of God. Holiness is key to godliness: which means to possess the nature of God in the which part of it is the fire of God. You can't be holy and not carry the fire of God in you.

2. THE GLORY OF GOD: Exodus 24:17 says that "The sight of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire..." The glory of God is connected to the holiness of God. Anyone who wants to experience a new dimension of glory must first of all be holy. It is the beauty of God and it is what conveys the character of God to us. The glory is the prove of His presence.

3. THE WORD OF GOD: Jeremiah 23:29 says that "[Is] not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD..." 
Jeremiah 20:9 "...But [his word] was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones..." The word is the fuel for the fire of God, that is why anytime you encounter the Rhema of God's word, you literally can't sit, you might shout, jump and even lay flat on the floor. This is because the light from the word struck your spirit and fired you inside. A times it can be so strong that you don't know when you will begin to pray in tongues.

Beloved finally, we can't flow in His move and experience revival if we don't have His fire in us. The fire of God in us makes us live holy, it brings out the glory of God in us and empowers the performance of His word. In effect when we have the fire we become God's change agents and the conveyor of the revival everywhere we go.
God is indeed raising a generation that are on fire for Him and are full of His fire. Wouldn't you rather want to be in this?
I pray for you, the components of God's fire will express itself in us in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: O Lord i want to experience your glory in Jesus' name.

FIRE PROOF

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
TUESDAY, 6TH JUNE 2017

TOPIC: FIRE PROOF
SCRIPTURE: "The Lord went before them...in the pillar of fire..." - Exodus 13:21

MEMORY VERSE: Exodus 24:17

DIGGING DEEP: Encounter with the fire of God leaves you with an evidence. It leaves you with a mark. Let's see a few of it:

IT PURIFIES AND SANCTIFIES: Malachi 3:2b- 3 says that "... for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness." The fire of God is an agent of sanctification and purification.
The beauty of a person is revealed when the impurities of sin and iniquity is removed. As you encounter the fire, it burns off the garbage in you: such as bad intentions, and bad thoughts. So we are sanctified and fit for the Masters use.

ENCOUNTER WITH GOD'S FIRE BRINGS YOUR GIFTS ALIVE: Isaiah was a prophet but never knew it nor manifested this grace for years under the reign of king Uzziah. But when he encountered the fire, he began to prophesy-He needed the fire before ministry. I pray for you that anything in you lying dormant the fire of God is bringing ot alive.

IT PRODUCES UNTAMEABLE PASSION: Jeremiah 20:9 says that "Then I said, “I will not make mention of Him, nor speak anymore in His name.” But His word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, and I could not." There is no one who touches fire and not become restless, so it is with this fire from above. When it touches you, you become restless, you begin to move around and not sit on one spot.

GENERATES THE ENERGY TO SEEK AND KNOW GOD INTIMATELY: Moses saw the fire and he turned aside to see and decided to come closer to it (Exodus 3:3-4) and then GOD spoke and he heard Him. That was the genesis of his intimacy with God.
Constantly seeking God is the secret to successful Christian life. The more you seek God, the more passion He will release in you to seek Him. The only way you will find the desire and passion to seek Him more is in His presence.

IT MAKES YOU ABLE TO PERFORM SIGNS AND WONDERS: Immediately the disciples recieved fire from heaven, they started working miracles.

IT STIMULATES REVIVAL: Luke 4:18 says that:
"The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed." Let me paraphrase it this way. The fire of God is upon me and it is energizing me to preach the gospel, to heal, give sight and bring freedom. In essence the fire upon you energizes you to help others experience God.

IT PROVIDES BOLDNESS: The presence of the fire of God destroys every form of timidity and cowardliness.
Being in God’s presence produces boldness. Through the fire of God Peter who was uneducated spoke boldily to people, the disciples spoke before kings. This fire was the secret of Elijahs' boldness before the wicked king Ahab.

Stories was said of William Branham of how he was very timid, shy and withdrawn; he literally hides behind the pulpit. The way he even talks was incredible boring so to say.
But when the power of God fell on him, he literally change him into another person, bold, and courageous.
I listened to Reinhard Bonke said that the reason he is very passionate for the souls in Africa and why he had the drive of evangelizing Africa was that "when you embrace the fire, you can't sit down." I see you rising up today.

PRAYER: O Lord let there be proof that i have caught Your fire today in Jesus' name.
