Topic: Where the loopholes coming from?

Highlight: 

And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.” Luke 1:21

Loopholes are your flaws, inconsistencies, discrepancies and inadequacies. They happen to everyone that. It was inherited by Eve. 

The woman answered, “God said we could eat fruit from any tree in the garden, except the one in the middle. He told us not to eat fruit from that tree or even to touch it. If we do, we will die.”

Genesis 3:2‭-‬3 

You have to understand that Faith in God will not steal away your hope and you must not touch the fruit of doubt no matter how easy it is to swing into it. Humans have become spiritual swinger who through ignorance disobey he rules of "no swing" in the vertical lines of faith and doubt. "DO NOT TOUCH THE FRUIT" but she touched it. The woman stared at the fruit. It looked beautiful and tasty. She wanted the wisdom that it would give her, and she ate some of the fruit. Her husband was there with her, so she gave some to him, and he ate it too.

Genesis 3:6 

THERE IS NO SOLUTION FOR THE IRREVOCABLE ERROR UNTIL ONE HAS BECOME WISE IN THE WAYS OF GOD. Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” Mark 10:27: We must avoid staring at doubts in the face so that we would not touch it. But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Matthew 5:28

Shall we lust after doubt with our words and actions and afterwards we go to pray that all will go well then return to our lustful ways and expect supernatural manifestation through faith? And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.” Luke 1:21

There are different level of faith. If it is the one that adds your name in the book of life, you will have to be 100% vertical to ovoid being reprimanded for the offense of your words. There is a Miranda warning in Matthew 12:36

"But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken."

There is no more time for Joke as this concerns the heaven more than it concerns the earth in your life. Give room for transition, only those who believe God truly in their heart  will advanced to the promise land. Check if this is where the loopholes and shortcomings are coming from into your life? You should ignore loopholed influence in your life.

Prayer: God I'm grateful for your Spirit that teaches me all things I require. Help me to remain on the line of faith in my words and actions from now on in Jesus name. Amen.

 

Grace of God alone is the energy to depend on.

Topic: Grace of God alone is the energy to depend on.

Highlight: And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Matthew 6:7

Elijah said to Baal's prophets, “There are more of you, so you go first. Pick out a bull and get it ready, but don't light the fire. Then pray to your god.” They chose their bull, then they got it ready and prayed to Baal all morning, asking him to start the fire. They danced around the altar and shouted, “Answer us, Baal!” But there was no answer. At noon, Elijah began making fun of them. “Pray louder!” he said. “Baal must be a god. Maybe he's daydreaming or using the toilet or traveling somewhere. Or maybe he's asleep, and you have to wake him up.” The prophets kept shouting louder and louder, and they cut themselves with swords and knives until they were bleeding. This was the way they worshiped, and they kept it up until time for the evening sacrifice. But there was no answer of any kind. Elijah told everyone to gather around him while he repaired the Lord's altar. Then he used twelve stones to build an altar in honor of the Lord. Each stone stood for one of the tribes of Israel, which was the name the Lord had given to their ancestor Jacob. Elijah dug a ditch around the altar, large enough to hold about 14 liters. He placed the wood on the altar, then they cut the bull into pieces and laid the meat on the wood. He told the people, “Fill four large jars with water and pour it over the meat and the wood.” After they did this, he told them to do it two more times. They did exactly as he said until finally, the water ran down the altar and filled the ditch. When it was time for the evening sacrifice, Elijah prayed: Our Lord, you are the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel. Now, prove that you are the God of this nation, and that I, your servant, have done this at your command. Please answer me, so these people will know that you are the Lord God, and that you will turn their hearts back to you. The Lord immediately sent fire, and it burned up the sacrifice, the wood, and the stones. It scorched the ground everywhere around the altar and dried up every drop of water in the ditch. When the crowd saw what had happened, they all bowed down and shouted, “The Lord is God! The Lord is God!” Just then, Elijah said, “Grab the prophets of Baal! Don't let any of them get away.” So the people captured the prophets and took them to Kishon River, where Elijah killed every one of them.
1 Kings 18:25‭-‬40

We should depend on the All-powerful God. Not on our own power or strength. The energy that convert prayers to answer is only in God's hands and not in our hands. Do not allow the flesh manipulates you into thinking that you will be heard when you perform additional man-made rites. Believe in Jesus His Son and follow God's commands and with patience- pray with faith and Thanksgiving. It is by grace alone and not by works. Ephesians 2:8-9 Hallelujah

Prayer: Lord I believe, help my unbelief in Jesus name. Amen

When Mountain Becomes Plain

An Emoji Devotional for Jul 13, 2022

Topic: When Mountain Becomes Plain

Highlight:

Ask the mountains and the hills why they skipped like goats!

Psalms 114:6 

It all started from Moses until the Exodus. The  Jewish were so much afflicted. Until Moses found His purpose. Sincerely, someone has found their purpose to define your salvation. That person was Jesus Emmanuel the Son of God. He was sent to clear off the clutters in your life. If you say, I know this is how the story will end, I know Jesus but I have been praying but nothing seems to change. Well, there is something I want to show you. 

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12

You should ask Jesus to cast His light on the mountain in your life and As a friend of God, you should be able to talk to Jesus to help you make the mountain become plain. He said "You are my friends if you do what I command." John 15:14

You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.” Matthew 17:20

Let us call God today to make our mountain become plain by the power of his might in Jesus Christ.

When the LORD restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad! Psalm 14:7b

Prayer: Lord Jesus today is the day I want you to cast light on the mountain of my life and help me to make it plain. Amen

What They want to hear in hear in heaven

An Emoji Devotional for Sun, 10th July 2022

Topic: What They want to hear in hear in heaven

Highlight:

 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, “He is THE ONE WHO CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS"; 1 Corinthians 3:19

When you speak only what should heard in heaven, then you will defeat the heroes of your enemies. What seems good in your eyes to Say may not be interesting in heaven.

But one of the twenty-four elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir to David’s throne, has won the victory. He is worthy to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Revelation 5:5

Why some genius don't succeed is because they don't exhibit qualities desired by heavens. They always complain but heavens don't want to listen. That's why some do not get heavenly support. Solomon Said he have seen servants riding horseback like princes—and princes walking like servants! Ecclesiastes 10:7

The servants though may look like nobody, may have true knowledge of worship for God while princes walking like servants are those who has all it takes to glorify God but cannot give God the glory and with such ungrateful attitude, the heaven sees nothing in adorable in them to qualify their priceless heavenly sponsorship.

This could be tricky for, “Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ 1 Corinthians 2:16. "I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance (heaven), by being in the right place at the right time." Ecclesiastes 9:11

If you keep falling into same temptation check to see if it is a test to see if you can pass their examination from heaven for if you could not overcome your weakness, how will you fly the heavenly flag to bring out Gods purpose. Either you are a believer or non believer, everyone can be qualified into position to fulfill heavenly mandate and plans for the future. This is beyond everyone who still have their seal unremoved by the blood of the slain lamb of God - Jesus Christ. It's why some people fail or win, live or die, break or mend in the journey of life. 

 Heaven is the one controlling the scroll and journey of the world. The scroll is already in Jesus Christ's hands 

And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

Revelation 5:6‭-‬8 

Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” 

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

John 3:3 

If you are not genuinely born again into faith through the grace in Jesus Christ and grace of the cleansing blood unto becoming a new person. It is the time to do so so that you can fly high in the heavens. because without changing into what the heaven wants you will not fly into the glory revealed in Jesus for the world. 

To this John replied, “A person can receive only what is given them from heaven. John 3:27

If you openly declare (confess) that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9

Don't let anything, cause you to do what the heaven does not want to see and don't let them cause you to say what the heavens does not want to hear. If you receive Jesus - You will receive the Holy Spirit of truth who will teach you what to say and as you read your Bible you will develop your heavenly skills. May God help us all. ( Read Psalm 101 to know how David did his)

Remember our God is a God of second chance!

You can only believe in heaven when you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead. Because the heaven will do the same to you by raising you from the dead  unto life in Christ Jesus. Believe, Believe Believe!

Prayer: I confess to the lamb with the Spirits of God (Revelation 5:6) that I believe that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Redeem us by your blood today in Jesus name we pray Amen. Amen

Trust in Truth

 

An Emoji Devotional for 07 July 2022

Topic: Trust the Truth

Highlight: 

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Psalm 91:4 KJV

The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. Proverbs 12:19

and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

John 8:32 KJV

Invest in truth and never sell it—in wisdom and instruction and understanding. Proverbs 23:23

Do not sell out yourself to the devil who's out there to scare you. Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. The same devil is a liar and father of it. There is no truth in him (John 8:44). It's not funny that the devil force his lies down people's throats. He uses lies to exchange good gift of confidence.  The best thing is to disagree and reject the devil when he tells you something else from the truth. Christians must be wholly governed by truth, which is revealed in Christ Jesus. This truth is not uncertainty, doubt, or lack of clarity. It is a settled conviction, knowing whom and what to believe. The devil tries to create confusion and uncertainty and to repel him, Christians must be “girt about” with truth.

To believe in truth means that refuse to be bothered by the circumstances around you unless you recognize that it is the truth. And When you see the truth you will recognize every bit of it and let it lead you into freedom. 

Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, (ESV) Ephesians 6:14. How will a soldier look like without his belt on? It is not the truth about yourself, it is the truth of Jesus. His words, His name, His power, His Spirit of Truth. 

But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. John 16:14

You cannot know the truth if you do not trust Him. The truth is like a password that leads to freedom. It's is found in God's promises for those who fear him. There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: A mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

Psalm 33:16 

Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.

Psalm 33:18‭-‬19 KJV

When the devil tells you something which is not the truth. You do not need to argue because the devil never stops talking. The devil always has a counterfeit of truth and uses it to derail people from the truth. Beware of being provoked by the devil.  What to do is Use your weapon of truth in God's word as Jesus did in Matthew 4:10‭-‬11 KJV

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. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

Trust in the truth of God's word. Even in the midst of storm let the vision of truth be at your wit end

Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. Mark 4:39

Prayer: Father lead me in your truth and adorn me with your truth and give your spirit of truth. Do not let the devil stand a chance before me always in Jesus name. Amen

Settled Faith vs Irredeemable Fear

 

An Emoji Devotions for Mon, July 4, 2022

Topic: Settled Faith vs Irredeemable Fear

In Lystra there sat a man who was lame. He had been that way from birth and had never walked. He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed (get better). and called out, “Stand up on your feet!” At that, the man jumped up and began to walk. Acts 14:8-10

When your faith has turned into divine revelation that give a sense of hope which cannot be questioned, it will reasonably shift into a redeemable position in the supernatural realm to modify natural challenges. Such is a settled faith ready to receive the word of truth. John 8:32 You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

On the contrary, there is also what is called irredeemable fear. When fear has labeled someone to become slave of Satan whereby it can provoke, distract and afflict such individual at any given time with less resistance, it has become an irredeemable fear. 1 Peter 5:8, John 10:10

What Kind of person are you? Are you living a life of settled faith or a life into irredeemable fear. Before you can be set free, all you need is to know (make inquiry and observe) the truth. You are not settled until you remove ideas keeping you bound from following the faith instructions from the truth that can set you free. When the voice of truth reaches you with instructions and you remain clueless of what to do. You are may be held bound by fear. 

A cripple man has his faith to be healed because he has no idea of anything that can deny his opportunity to be made whole. While some abled body men with too many thoughts of where, when and how will waste away into irredeemable position through fear. A settled faith needs no clue of where, when and how. All that is required is to obey the instructions found in the word of liberty which is the Bible truth in Jesus Christ alone. 

“Stand up on your feet.” And he jumped up and began to walk. That's all don't look back! 

The crippled man already has made inquiry from other people who got their heading how it was done and they would have told him. Be ready to jump at what the preacher tells you to do. What a settled faith with no waste of time! Time wasting in fear is a disease to the soul. There is no option to fear even in the valley of the shadow of death for those who will receive from God. Hebrews 11:7.

Prayer: Father I thank you for the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ to walk in faith bought through precious blood of Jesus on the cross. A gift from life after death and ressurection of our Saviour and Lord Jesus by the power of Holy Ghost. Amen

A Double Barrel

 

An Emoji Devotional for Sat, July 2 2022

Topic: A double Barrel

Highlight: 

But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” Luke 23:41

How bad is the word, "crucify him"? It's like saying "shoot him", "decimate him", "destroy him". It is more hurtful when more than two or three people shout such word to someone who is innocent. It hurts more than a double barrel magnum shotgun. Are there none who could remember Jesus for one good thing during his trial? Everyone was out there pointing out accusations of what he said. It is hurtful how the bad influencers have influenced the whole world to teamed up against God. 

Where was Zacchaeus? Where was Nicodemus? At least where was the woman with the issue of blood to come out and testify good about Jesus? Their voices had been eaten by the voice of the malignant crowd. 

What about you? Are you among those, who stir up words to hurt others. Are your words as hard as double barrel gun blow on others? or are they sweet and encouraging? Matthew 25:36 says "But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken."

The good side of the story is that Jesus came out victorious of it all. He ressurected to life of a bigger fulfilment and his good news message was preached and received into nations from all over the world for ever. 

If you are the one facing a double barrel war like Jesus. The moral lesson to learn from this story is in Psalm 146:3 "Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, In whom there is no help." The help of man is subject to limitations but the help of God is open to all possibilities. Luke 1:37

Are you born again. Are you saved through the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed for you on the cross? For If you would love to give your life to Jesus Christ: Why not now? Say this prayer - Lord Jesus, I appreciate your works done to save my life. I am ready to change Into the new person you want me to become through your love. Come into my heart Lord Jesus and take over all I am and all I ever would be. in Jesus name. 

Prayer: I look to up to God to send salvation from His Holy Spirit to me through Jesus Christ the son. Amen
