Topic: Factory Fitted Grace

Highlights: 

What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? Romans 8:1

May God have mercy. The issue is, are we really saved if we received Christ on a Sunday and a Monday we were sinning. Do we really think we can outsmart God? Some were born again because they were touched by the message they heard about Jesus and they made up their mind to give their life to Christ but the next day they changed and continue doing what God hates. They know they were not doing the right thing but they keep on doing exchange of grace with sin after Church service. It shows that they pray in the morning because they need God's protection but not because they sincerely and genuinely curious about God. Do these people truly deserve God's grace? 

When we all surrender to the truth then we will realize our stand with God if we are sincere or not. The grace of God is factory fitted. It is undeserved and that is why it always has why you return. Because grace does not fail. God loves us eternally and that is why he never change His true nature of unfailing love. If we could be true with ourselves, we will see that it is better to stay hidden in Christ and enjoy the grace fully because God blesses those who diligently seek Him and stay with Him. 

Think about this, what is a Christian that cannot take the Bible and study it? What is a Christian that cannot sing a hour of worship to God and praise Him for giving us grace we didn't deserve. We must understand that if we truly love God we will create time for him in our lives. God does not disappoint and His grace is original. If we walk with him, we will not be put to shame.

Prayer: God I am sometimes unfaithful to you and I may say I do not deserve you. But I'm glad you are not human like me. Please take me to the next level of your unfailing love so that I will not be roaming about in darkness. Sincerely I truly love you Lord in Jesus name I pray. Amen 

Behave Yourself Wisely

 

Topic: Behave Yourself Wisely

Highlights;

If you are really hungry, eat at home so you won’t bring judgment upon yourselves when you meet together. I’ll give you instructions about the other matters after I arrive. 1 Corinthians 11:34

The heart of a Christian to Christian is very powerful that you must define your behavior otherwise if you are judged you may not escape judgement. If you say you are righteous, you must put your behavior in check otherwise if you were caught in what's seen as mischief by another Christian you will be seen as a stumbling block and an agent of darkness. Once such pronouncement is made against anyone, there will be trouble in the life of such person. 

The Bible made us to know that "Wisdom is supreme; so acquire wisdom. And whatever you may acquire, gain understanding." Proverbs 4:7 BSB

When you are a Christian, You don't just open your mouth and say anything anyhow even when such thing is right in your own eyes. You will not just go to God's house and begin to waddle the Lord's supper because you are needy. If two or three Christian brother or sister sees you misbehaving and say in their heart "oh this is very bad attitude" such person being referred to is possibly in trouble. 

It is better to repent and consider what Christian brothers and Sister are telling you than to let pride set in and be released unto Satan to deal with your bad behavior. 

A Christian who refuse to listen to advise from Christian body will lose their reward when that body is glorified. Behave yourself.

I will behave wisely in a perfect way. Oh, when will You come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. Psalm 101:2

Prayer: Father please close the gap of my dishonor with your body of Glory in Jesus name Amen. 

Trapped

 An Emoji devotions for Sat 30, Oct 2021

Topic: Trapped

Highlights: 

Never stop praying. 1 Thessalonians 5:17

“They did, but while they were out buying oil, the bridegroom arrived. When everyone who was there to greet him had gone into the wedding feast, the door was locked.

Matthew 25:10 MSG

The tiredness of how things did not work out has taken some people away from the actual prayer and service to God. They have become in hurry to rush to get things work for them having forgotten that God makes decision with precision. No matter how we try if the door is closed, we must relax and keep praying. Keep praying, keep the oil in your lamp because while you need some you would not need to go again looking for salvation in the place where you have just begun. What did Matthew 5:13 

“Let me tell you why you are here. You’re here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You’ve lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage. Matthew 5:13

If you get trapped. Come back home before it's too late. Keep praying because the grace to return to your original light is still available. So that you will not get worn out and be rejected. Never stop praying even right now. 

Prayer: Lord Jesus I have walked with blurred vision and I need you to regain my sight. I still want to be a relevant part of you Lord. Send the breeze of revival and let me come forth as the shinning star in your hilltop city. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Remember Me O Lord

 

An Emoji devotions for Tue 26th Oct, 2021

Topic: Remember Me O Lord

Highlights:

I pray that my God will remember these good things that I have done for his temple and for those who worship there.

Nehemiah 13:14 

Who say God does not remember? It is human that forgets. God remember everything very easily as if it were just displayed. Be it things of sixty years ago. That is why we need to be asking for mercy and be doing things right. But at times you need to pray like Moses did

Moses tried to get the Lord God to change his mind: Our Lord, you used your mighty power to bring these people out of Egypt. Now don't become angry and destroy them.

Exodus 32:11

When Herod cut off the head of James the brother of John, he saw that it pleased the Jewish people and He took Peter in Jail. He planned to kill him after the festival 

"While Peter was being kept in jail, the church never stopped praying to God for him."

 Acts 12:5 

The night before Peter was to be put on trial, he was asleep and bound by two chains. A soldier was guarding him on each side, and two other soldiers were guarding the entrance to the jail. Suddenly an angel from the Lord appeared, and light flashed around in the cell. The angel poked Peter in the side and woke him up. Then he said, “Quick! Get up!” The chains fell off his hands,

Acts 12: 6- 7 

To cut the long story short Peter escape death because God was reminded by prayers of the church that Peter must not die.

"Remember the solemn promise you made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You promised that someday they would have as many descendants as there are stars in the sky and that you would give them land. So even though the Lord had threatened to destroy the people, he changed his mind and let them live."

Exodus 32:13‭-‬14 

Let us pray:

O God the Father of all Remember the solemn promise you made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You promised that someday they would have as many descendants as there are stars in the sky. And Now O God, I am one of the descendants of Abraham your servant through Jesus Christ. Please be merciful unto me in the name of Jesus. Amen. 

God Keeps Promise

 

An emoji devotional for Sat 23rd Oct, 2021

Topic: God Keeps Promise

As the LORD had promised through Elijah, the bowl did not run out of flour nor did the jar run out of oil. 1 Kings 17:16

 The eyes may be heavy of sleep but God will keep His promises. We know what God wants as His bride but if we do not wear it as God wants to see on us, He may send us out. Matthew 22:11-13

"The king went in to look at the guests and saw a man who was not wearing wedding clothes.He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless."

So the king gave orders for this person to be tied hand and foot and to be thrown outside into the dark. That's where people will cry and grit their teeth in pain.

When you check the manual of God's promise, there is always a process in the beginning. When you follow the due process, you must continue to obey instructions to sustain this promise. 

In the highlight verse, there was a preceding verse that read this:

And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. 1 Kings 17:15 

So that there will be no costly punishment for disobedient and excuses, it is better that we follow instructions as it was since the beginning of covenant. May the good Lord help us to remain worthy. Remember Adam and Eve! Do all you can to stay in the covenant so that when God sees you he may continue to be merciful. 

Prayer: Lord do not cast me out of your covenant with me. I repent of my crooked ways and have made up my mind to continue with the instructions of our covenant in Jesus name.

Forbidden Fruit

An Angelic Devotional for Thu 21 Oct 2021

Topic: Forbidden Fruit

Highlights: 

If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, your well-being like the waves of the sea. Isaiah 48:18

There have been prophecies about Jesus The Messiah. Everyone was happy by the time he was born. Not until after some time of His life He realized that He will have to die to save humanity... Jesus humbly accepted the task and obeyed God and today He is the Prince of Peace.

What is the difference? Adam was the first man. He was not asked to die but only that he would not eat from a forbidden tree in the garden. Adam could not obey this task and he was sent out of the garden to the ghetto and hustle life. He did not have peace after the disobedience.

On each of our way to obedience, there lies the forbidden fruit and the slippery serpent who is the marketer. If you escape the forbidden fruit, you must also strive to escape the serpent because all that the serpent does is for people to eat the forbidden fruit and lose out of the race. 

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 1 Corinthians 9:24

I don’t know about you, but I’m running hard for the finish line. I’m giving it everything I’ve got. No sloppy living for me! I’m staying alert and in top condition. I’m not going to get caught napping, telling everyone else all about it and then missing out myself.

1 Corinthians 9:26‭-‬27 MSG

Prayer: Father Lord, please give me the power to win in line with obedience to your authority. Guide me to focus and remain fit in your paradise. Protect me from the slimy serpent in Jesus name. Amen

"I Will Make All Things New"

 

An Angelic Devotional for Mon 18th Oct, 2021

Topic: "I will make all things New

Highlights

And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” And then he said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true.” Revelation 21

God is in the thoughts of His people However The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all. Psalm 103:19; God's people will run on auto pilot through the Heavenly Kingdom Program. However, the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says: “’Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build for me? says the Lord. Or where will my resting place be? Acts 7:48-49 (Smiles). In our lives we have personal challenges and God is telling us that sooner than later all our challenges will be over

He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. Revelation 21

My piece of advise to you is to stay alive and stay safe no matter the challenges because there are better days ahead. God will make everything new - Problems will be over and we will be given from the Spring of water of life. As we are now, even some part of the promises are fulfilling in our very own eyes because we can call ourselves children of God by faith. Though we see those things like we are seeing things in a convergent lenses but very soon it will be clear that truly God is good and He does fulfill His promises to every one who believes and hold on to him

With all this going for us, my dear, dear friends, stand your ground. And don’t hold back. Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for him is a waste of time or effort. 1 Corinthians 15:5

Prayer: God you have made all things New and I call you my father. God you have made all things New and I say "It is done, my God for life". Hallelujah!
