Topic: Change the Narratives

Highlights: Do not give dogs what is holy... Matthew 7:6a

He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.” Matthew 15:26

Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.” Matthew 15:27

Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment. Matthew 15:28

Do they look down on you? Do they think, you cannot amount to something brilliant in life? Don't get distracted to feel guilty about those words they say about you. They are not your God. It's only your God who has the final say over your life. Do not think your life is a mess. Jesus Christ is waiting for you to change the narrative with your doggedness. You can see the woman in the highlighted text. She was patient with the Lord even when God said "It is not right to toss children's bread unto dog."

I love people who never give up. Somehow they have had a contact with the Lord in prayer. People who have hope in God do not give up. The woman in context did not write herself off because of What Jesus said. She rather find her way to get her miracle. Even dogs eats the crumbs that fall from their master's table. This is to let us know that whoever you are, you can have faith that never give up. Be stronger than your challenges and you will hear good news. Her request was granted. Jesus will never put those who look up to him to shame. He will never let the devil mock His children. 

That is why you need to surrender your life to Jesus Christ, if you have not yet done so. Repent from your sin, and unbelief and Pray the prayer of forgiveness unto salvation in the name of Jesus. 

Prayer: God, I do not know how close I am to my miracle but I remain strong in faith that you will not let me down. Please Lord, Have mercy on me. In Jesus name. Amen

Topic: When Jesus appeared on the Scene

Highlight: but when they saw him walking on the water, they cried out in terror, thinking he was a ghost. Mark 6:49

So soon, there's someone reading this message that God is going to give one breakthrough that will cancel all their failures in Jesus name. John 10:10 says The thief purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. Jesus said In My Father's house there are many mansions. Thank you Father in heaven that Jesus is Rich and powerful in heaven. By the Anointing of Holy Spirit in those who believe in Him they succeed effortlessly in their ministry that even after thousands years they are still relevant today. Our God will not deceive us because forever His word is settled. Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it. Mark 16:20 If you want anything, it is good to tell it to Jesus. When Jesus appears on your scene, you will never know failure, you will always be at the top. You will succeed and you will never know sorrow. Jesus is solution to all problems, be it at the individual or national level. He gives hope to life. If you want to be relevant in life, you must call Jesus to appear in every scene of your life. He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. Revelations 22:20

 Jesus will come back into this world as he promised, There will be heaven on Earth. There will be a new heaven and a new Earth.  You have invite abundant Life into your life when you bring Jesus to the scenes of your life today. If you are not born again then you are missing out as you must give your life to Jesus and confess Him as your Lord and savior to bring him into everything that concerns you from now on. Call Jesus into your life issues today.

Prayer: Lord Jesus I invite you to come into scene of my world. Come in to scene of my life. Please Lord come, I need you now. Amen 

The Very Last Drop

 

An Emoji devotions for Mon 24th January 2021

Topic: The very last drop

Highlights: 

So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’ Luke 16:24

Have pity on your self. Falling easily into self indulgences with no reserve for discipline is going to toll back in future. It's just a life pattern either you are a Christian or other religion. You have to judge yourself with the way you live. So, when time comes and there is no more drop of water to cool your thirst for entertainment, immorality, sex, drunkeness, malice keeping, social indulgences and all those things you used to indulged in, you may need to beg for Abraham's Mercy for a drop. 

So many people have wasted their life's goodies in their youthful day. Some are not okay today because they took life as joke.

I told a boy who is always indulging in laziness doing nothing at all that- "when an helper comes your way, what would you tender as your CV?". There were ten virgins but only the wise ones will follow the lamb.

For you reading this, when you have the opportunity to indulge yourself, do not overdo it because there will be a time when you will need a drop of that money, or strength, or certificate or anything to stand for you and you may not have it if you don't live rightly.

You overlook many things now but on that day Father Abraham will not overlook anything for you. 

“But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony." Luke 16:25

This is what the Kingdom of God lifestyle is all about. If you don't resist the urge to over- indulge yourself or your children today, it may be hard to fight for those things like the rich man is fighting for a drop of water. A miracle can still happen provided that you will repent and not repeat past mistakes. You may still have a last drop to quench your thirst and were given another chance, would you be determined to use it well? 

Prayer: God of Second Chance have pity on me when I am still alive. Have mercy and compassion on me, for I am the work of your hands. In Jesus name. Amen.

Word of Testimony: Remember Your Hallelujah 3

 

An Emoji devotions for Sat Jan 22, 2022

Topic: Word of Testimony: Remember Your Hallelujah 3

Highlights:

And they have overcome him by reason of the blood of the Lamb, and by reason of the word of their testimony; and they have not loved their life unto death. Revelation 12:11

There is a end to all chemical reaction. Where boldness neutralize threats of highest order. When there is no more Stress in fight and all is win win for God's children. The devil is the accuser of brethren who has its witness to testify against them. There is no other word of testimony that can challenge the word "Hallelujah" in heaven. The devil could not resist that word. It shatters it's strength when the angels begin to chant "Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah..." 

These are the angels that have been ordained by the blood of Jesus Christ. You can be ordained by the blood of Jesus Christ by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior of your soul believing that there is no other savior except Jesus. 

The angels speak bold word of their witness, they weren't in love with themselves, they were willing to die for Christ. When they chant Hallelujah in heaven they were positive and self assured that God is solidly behind them. Either they fight or they don't fight, they will win. 

That's what Paul and Silas saw in the prison and the Three Hebrew Men saw in Babylon when the prison door was opened by earthquake and fierce fire could harm no more. Should I talk about Daniel who life was preserved in the Lion's den Or Little David killing a giant Goliath with a stone?

Oh that you were ordained by the blood of Jesus and follow His command when he said "if you love me, you will keep my commandments" then you receive the Holy Spirit and you become bold to chant the Bold word "Hallelujah" even when you breathe like the angels do in heaven. 

Don't be afraid, Keep chanting Hallelujah like a whisper. Speak in tongues with it, pray with it, meditate on God's word with it and sing with it. Don't love yourself to the extent that there is no more fear of death. 

For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Let spirit of Hallelujah will be written on the wall to dethrone your enemy and enthrone you. Hallelujah

Prayer: Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah....

(continue to chant Hallelujah underneath your breath as long as you can. Do it anytime as you can remember, anywhere all time - that's the heavenly way).

Remember Your Hallelujah 2

An Emoji Devotions for Fri 21 Jan 2022

Topic: Remember Your Hallelujah 2

Highlights: 

"So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls." James 1:21

It Seems weird at first when suddenly you find yourself chanting Hallelujah but you visibly see nothing happening around you. Remember Hebrews 11:1

"Faith makes us sure of what we hope for and gives us proof of what we cannot see."

Let's do some mathematics. Assumed you chant Hallelujah by faith. Hence faith is equivalent to Hallelujah. Hallelujah is the visible exchange of your faith when you are chanting the word believing God is around you doing the work. It is greater than asking for what you think God should when God is supposed to do what He approves to be the best for you.

We can't see everything clearly in the Spirit, only God does. God may have Ferrari in mind when you have Toyota in mind. God may have 6 figures in mind when you Are busy asking for two figures. But chanting Hallelujah with faith can make God manifest his original purpose and plans for you than praying on what you assume to be the right thing for you.

"Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture!" 1 Cor 13:9 NLV

Faith makes us sure of what we hope for and gives us proof of what we cannot see.

Hebrews 11:1 

The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this Hallelujah, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It’s our handle on what we can’t see. The act of hallelujah is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd. (Read Exodus 15:1-3)

"So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls." James 1:21

Soon you will begin to see the good work of chanting Hallelujah once you remain consistent and stay true praising God for who He is to you. 

Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.” Luke 17:18-19

Prayer: Lord I know you are doing wonders on my behalf though I have not seen some of them yet, I believe and I chant Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah... to praise your name. Hallelujah in JESUS name. Amen

Remember Your Hallelujah

Topic: Remember Your Hallelujah

Highlights:

I heard a sound like massed choirs in Heaven singing, Hallelujah! The salvation and glory and power are God’s— 

Revelation 19:1‭

Hallelujah is an exclamation worship to call praise unto God. Hallelujah is the word you should not forget. Put it in your prayers and put in at the back of your mind. When something good happens no matter how little or big - just say Hallelujah.

Hallelujah means you acknowledged God is working on your behalf even though you do not know about it. When God moves on your behalf, such as when you realized that God has been good to you - Say Hallelujah. When you do so, you are telling God that "Father God, I see all you are doing on my behalf and I say thank you for all". When you say Hallelujah, it encourages God to continue his work and It makes him want to do more for you because God receives your response and realized you are happy with his manifestation around you then you are showing appreciation  for what God His doing. God loves that! He really really does love such things.

in Conclusion, we may not see God with our naked eyes but we can see HIM face to face perform wonders in our lives when we continue chanting Hallelujah beneath our breathe for everything he is doing. And guess what, you will get visible intimacy with your God by chanting Hallelujah!

 When we do so, God will manifest with visible favor that will make you know that He is around you. So Your Hallelujah is very important in your relationship between you and your God. That is the most important way of learning heavenly civilization.

Matthew 6:10 says

"your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."

Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” 

Luke 17:17-18

Hallelujah is your praise, say it with right right attitude and pure intent that you truly mean to appreciate your maker for all he is doing right now around you (visible, invisible, far and wide).

Keep Saying Hallelujah. Don't stop talking it. Let it slip from underneath your tongue always. Whisper on everything - Hallelujah! (read: Philippians 4:4, Act 13:22)

Prayer: Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, With all my heart I praise the Lord, and with all that I am I praise his holy name!

In Jesus name. Amen

Your Five Brothers

An Emoji devotional for Tue 18th January 2022

Topic: Your Five Brothers

Highlights: 

for I have five brothers— in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ Luke 16:28

You have five fingers on each hands and five toes each feat.  Those are likely your five brothers and sisters- think about it. In this life, Whatever you have done today is done by your hands. You have your five senses which are your mouth, ear, nose, tongue, skin and eyes ... those are what defines you. But Your fingers and toes are your brothers and sisters accompanying you in life.. After you make your choice, the hands and foot will accompany you to your destiny. 

Some are in depression, pain, agony because of self indulgences with their brothers and sisters while others and in praise, reward and celebration because their five brothers and sisters were disciplined.

In the above highlight the story began from Luke 16:19-31, a rich man and poor Lazarus were living close to each other. The rich uses his ten fingers to eat, drink and spend lavishly on whatever. He forgot to feed His conscience - Lazarus. When he died, Lazarus died with him. He saw Lazarus in heaven but his real self in hell. That could have been him on Abraham Bossom if he had done good deeds with his hands when he was on earth.

So he was in torment of hell and the first thing he remembered was his hands in hell. Listen to this, if the rich man had done good deeds while on earth, his conscience would have lead him to heaven. So the rich man asked that at least Lazarus (his abandoned conscience) could dip his hands in water and put a tip on his tongue (His five senses were still with him in hell). Abraham answered, “My friend, remember that while you lived, you had everything good, and Lazarus had everything bad. Now he is happy, and you are in pain. And besides, there is a deep ditch between us, and no one from either side can cross over.”

But the rich man said, “Abraham, then please send Lazarus to my father's home. Let him warn my five brothers, so they won't come to this horrible place.”

Luke 16:25-‬28 

The rich man's five brothers were the work of his hands. Those things he had done while he left the earth. His friends and fans were still following his lavish ways - living without conscience. Today, so many politicians are gone but their corrupt practices were still there. The rich man wants someone with good conscience like Lazarus to go and warn his five brothers. Abraham answered, “Your brothers can read what Moses and the prophets wrote. They should pay attention to that.” Then the rich man said, “No, that's not enough! If only someone from the dead would go to them, they would listen and turn to God.” So Abraham said, “If they won't pay attention to Moses and the prophets, they won't listen even to someone who comes back from the dead.”

Luke 16:29‭-‬31 

Today, you have the word of life from Jesus Christ in the Holy Bible that can still purify your conscience for all the stuff you are doing with your hands. If you did not take care of your conscience and you abandoned it for the riches of this world because of your self gain. One day your when you die, your conscience will leave you and go back to Abraham's Bossom while you rot in torment of hell (I pray that it will not be so for you). 

If you call yourself the son of Abraham, you must follow God in total obedience and maintain a clean conscience before God and man. 

And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. Act 24:16

And if you are someone who is following others people (celebrity, pornstar, politicians etc) remember that those steps your are following are made by men whose ways may not be pleasing with God. And Your conscience is watching you in all you do. 

Psalm 1: 1-2 says

God blesses those people who refuse evil advice and won't follow sinners or join in sneering at God. Instead, they find happiness in the Teaching of the Lord, and they think about it day and night.

It is time to cross examine yourself and make amendment. if you know all these things and still refuse to do the right thing - Your conscience will judge on the fateful day of judgement. Remember, your life is important that food and cloth. Only people who don't know God are always worrying about such things. Your Father in heaven knows you need all of these. But more than anything else, put God's work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well. Don't worry about tomorrow. It will take care of itself. You have enough to worry about today.

Matthew 6:32‭-‬34 

Prayer: Father in heaven please purify my conscience with the blood of Jesus. Amen.
