"Come Up Hither"

🌟 Emoji Devotions for Thu, 26th Dec 2024

Topic: "Come Up Hither"

Highlight: "After this I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven; and the first voice which I heard was, as it were, of a trumpet talking with me, which said, 'Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter'" (Revelation 4:1).

This is a matter of voice calling "Come Up Hither," which can also mean "Come up Here." "And immediately I was in the Spirit..." said John, the one who was called.

I received a revelation recently that "The Trees hear the Voice of Jesus." Jesus is hungry and sees a fig tree with leaves but no fruit. He curses the tree, saying, "May no fruit ever come from you again!" The tree withers immediately (Matthew 21:19-20).

That is the power of "voice calling," and Jesus clearly points out this important phenomenon in John 10:27, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me."

For those new to Jesus, know that Jesus is not a competitor to other gods or deities; He is the God over all. There is none above Him, and He has come to show us all things we don't know.

One of the most popular verses, Jeremiah 33:3, says, "Call to me, and I will answer you; I will tell you wonderful and marvelous things that you know nothing about."

Here's the revelation of Spiritual Voice Calling:

1. Jesus calls His Sheep (John 10:27).

2. You call God for help (Jeremiah 33:3).

3. His Spirit calls to reveal things to you (Revelation 4:1).

However, there's a fourth aspect: demons also call people. Romans 6:16 says, "Don't you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living."

Things demons call:

1. Demon calls part of human bodies into desires of lust or sickness (Galatians 5:19-21).

2. A demon analyzes weaknesses and calls someone's mind into addictions.

3. Demons call people into despair and lead to death.

The purpose of this message is for you to be vigilant when you receive a call from Jesus or the devil, knowing what Jesus can tell you to become.

When Jesus calls you, He will show you great and mighty things, bringing you into revelation and helping you see beautiful things, giving you good feelings (3 John 2). John 10:10 tells us about abundant life.

However, when you receive a call from the other side, which is not from God, you are called into sickness, addiction, anger issues, or sexual lusts – things not worthy of you.

Remember, this message is for you to decide not to obey the devil's call. If you're already obeying him, quickly call Jesus for help and confess the truth – that you've obeyed the devil's voice – and ask Him to forgive you.

Many people today have picked the devil's voice without knowing:

2 Corinthians 2:14: "And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light."

Matthew 4:1-11: Satan offered to turn rocks into bread to feed Jesus, masquerading as someone who wanted to do good.

John 8:44: Jesus said Satan is a murderer who lies and is the father of lies.

So, be careful of finding or accepting truth that lacks Jesus' light.

Finally, reaffirm to yourself that you belong to Jesus, having His light within you, and you will not obey the devil's voice.

If you've already listened to the devil's call, obeyed him, and are in a position God doesn't want for you, call Jesus for help. Give your life to Him and ask Him to pick you up from there.

"But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: 'God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.' Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:6-7).

So, if you face challenges like sickness or infirmity, remember Jesus can call your mind or body from wherever it is.

"He has done everything well," they said. "He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak" (Mark 7:37).

Prayer:

I reject the devil's call.

JESUS, JESUS, JESUUUUUS.

I'm calling, I'm calling for You.

JESUUUUUS.

Save me, save my soul, and take my heart to Your calling alone.

I am all Yours.

In Jesus' name.

Amen

Time of Barner

 

Emoji Devotions for Tue 17th Dec, 2024

Topic: Time of Barner.

Highlight:

Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’” Matthew 13:30

It's crazy, while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. So God made us somebody special and peculiar but the enemy has been slipping in counter-productive people to inconvenience our peculiarities. The enemy went his way because his job is to frustrate the farmer and make his job tedious or even confuse the barner.
So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? Matthew 13:27

The enemy is someone who monitors you till you sleep, then do all to destabilise and frustrate other people's life.

Key points about the spiritual meaning of sleep:
• Negativity:
Generally, "sleeping" is seen as a negative sign, indicating a lack of vigilance, complacency, or a disconnect from one's spiritual path. 
• Biblical reference:
In the Bible, "sleep" is frequently used as a metaphor for spiritual slumber, with verses urging people to "wake up" and be alert to their spiritual duties.
• Positive aspects:
In some interpretations, deep sleep can also represent a period of renewal, restoration, and subconscious processing, allowing for spiritual growth and insights upon waking


Matthew 13:26, 28-29 KJV
[26] But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

The enemy has walked away leaving challenges to the barner.

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. Matthew 13:30 KJV

You have to keep growing. Don't stop growing as The barner is watching for the harvest day to then separate the wheat from the weed. The weed will be burned to ashes and the wheat will be gathered into the barn. There will be great harvest if you keep growing.

Prayer: God of Control the only Wise God please Sustain my growth till the day of grace in Jesus name. Amen

The Corporate Spirit

 

An Emoji Devotional for Sat, 14th December 2024

Topic: The Corporate Spirit

Highlight: "Before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will hear." - Isaiah 65:24

When the corporate Spirit of God falls upon a Church, there will be several testimonies of miracles, signs, and wonders. The hand of God will also move in that church.

The Corporate Spirit is also very important in the life of an individual. The Bible says, "Iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." In the context of Isaiah, this suggests a deep, intimate connection between God and His people, where He anticipates their needs even before they express them.

Historically, this reflects the covenant relationship God had with Israel (His church by faith), where He promised to be their God and they His people.

This is why a Christian must choose to attend a fellowship with other believers, as the Corporate Spirit of God robes on an individual who seeks God in Spirit and in Truth in fellowship with others.

"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there among them." - Matthew 18:20

The passage suggests that God's presence is practical and especially strong when people are together in faith and unity, bringing down the corporate presence of God.

Go and find out as an individual who prays to God in His closet and see God move individually, but once such a person goes to church with true believers, they feel fulfilled and blessed more than they do alone.

This is the reason you, as an individual who has a personal relationship with God, must go to church; otherwise, the Corporate anointing from the Corporate Spirit will be missing in your life.

You should have fellowship with other true believers of Christ after being born again because of the following three reasons:

1. A single soldier cannot fight or win a battle alone. We are all soldiers of Christ. As 2 Timothy 2:4 says, "A soldier on active duty doesn't get caught up in the business of everyday life. He wants to please the one who enlisted him."

So, what the Corporate Spirit does is that once you are identified in your local church as a member, and you remember someone as your church member, you become relieved that you are together in the Spirit, doing active service for God.

This means a lot in the Spirit realms, as thinking about them brings love and satisfaction to the Spiritual bond where the Corporate Spirit is required.

"How good, how delightful it is when people live together in harmony! This is as precious as the oil used to anoint Aaron, running down from his head onto his beard, onto the collar of his clothes. It's like the dew of Mount Hermon that falls on Zion's mountains. That is where the Lord gave his blessing of life that lasts forever." - Psalms 133:1-3 (FBV)

You and I are an integral part of where the Lord gave His blessings that last forever. So, we must flock together as His sheep, so we can give our Shepherd joy.

When one sheep is missing from the flock, the Shepherd is grieved and has to look for it. Know that the LORD is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture. - Psalms 100:3

Sheep are happy and secured when they flock together with other sheep. Know that you possess the Corporate Spirit of God when you are already happy, collaborate, and cooperate with other sheep of God, doing His will. Otherwise, you are in good Spiritual shape when you are in good tunes and actively collaborative in God's work with other believers.

"Who is allowed to go up the Lord's mountain? Who is permitted to stand in his holy place?" - Psalms 24:3 (FBV)

All of us are His sheep when we allow His Corporate Spirit to govern us.

When He saw the crowds, Jesus was deeply moved with compassion for them, because they were troubled and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. - Matthew 9:36

In conclusion, a Pastor or leader is required to lead the people of God in love, so that the Corporate Spirit will manifest as a cloud.

Now, whenever the cloud lifted from the Tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out on their journey, following it. - Exodus 40:6

You are going to Church to serve Jesus Christ, who is the head of the Church. - Ephesians 5:22-25

Praise the Lord!

Prayer: I come to the flock, O Lord of the Sheep. HERE I AM, LEAD ME!

Surviving By Gods Grace

 

An Emoji Devotions for Mon 2, December 2024

Topic: Surviving By God's grace

Highlight:

Genesis 14:19-20 ERV
He blessed Abram and said, “Abram, may you be blessed by God Most High, the one who made heaven and earth. And we praise God Most High, who helped you defeat your enemies.” Abram gave Melchizedek one-tenth of everything he had taken during the battle.


The only answer to our future is Jesus. When things seems dark or even bright Jesus is our only hope of glory. The above Bible passage is a public declaration of God's favor upon Abram, setting him apart as a recipient of divine grace. After that encounter, Abraham survived by the grace of God even up till this moment. God is the only survival place for everyone. Until we accept this then we will begin to see His glory. The Bible says in James 1:17 that Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens.
So God is our Father and we can only survive by His grace. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8

So Surviving By God's grace does not mean to carelessly live our lives out there. It is pointing us to associate ourselves to things that comes as gift from God. Example of God's gift wisdom, wisdom is a good gift that comes from God and every sons and daughters of God need to ask God for wisdom so as to live a triumphant life.

In the grace of God is to accept the gift of God. You are not your own, for you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body 1 Corinthians 6:19

Whenever we neglect God's gift (every good  and perfect gift that comes from the Father) and go after the inventions of men, we are working for the wages of sin. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord Romans 6:23


The gift of God is also eternal life and It's only through Jesus Christ we can enjoy the gift of God. Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. John 10:1.

That is why we should survive by grace of God through Jesus Christ. If you do not know Jesus and you wish to know him. You must first accept Him as your Lord and Savior (as your gate) through which you will enjoy the gifts of God. Say this prayer: " Lord Jesus Omnipotent Savior, I have come to declare you as my Lord and Saviour, please save my soul and let me through into the joy of God's gifts"

Prayer: Lord Jesus grant us the best gifts for our destiny from God which will turn us to immortal like you. Amen.

GOD OF DIVINE BOOST

An Emoji Devotional for Sat 15th November 2024

Topic: God of Divine Boost

Highlight:

Things happened fast. The sky grew black with wind-driven clouds, and then a huge cloudburst of rain, with Ahab hightailing it in his chariot for Jezreel. And God strengthened Elijah mightily. Pulling up his robe and tying it around his waist, Elijah ran in front of Ahab’s chariot until they reached Jezreel. (Nearly 20 Miles) 1 Kings 18:45-46

There are rules that broke boost. Elijah outrun an horse nearly two hours on high speed faster than the speed of the horse covering distance of about 20 miles.

If there is an urgency to accomplish a misison - Pray to God of Boost.

If you need divine empowerment on what you cannot do on your own - Pray to the God of Boost.

The name of the Divine Booster is called the "Hand of God". In King James Version 1 Kings 18:46

"And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah, and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel"

This "Hand of God" once it's upon Your Samson, You will become incredibly strong man, And upon your David or Elijah, whoever you are with the "hand of God" on your life, you will have a divine boost to accomplish victorious mission. Let us check at least three places where "Hand of God" was mentioned in the Bible:


Isaiah 41:10 NKJV
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

"FINGER OF GOD"

Exodus 8:19

Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is  the finger of God.” But Pharaoh’s heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, just as the Lord had said.
Luke 11:20 NKJV

But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 

If you have the hand of God upon you, then you may have become unstoppable in your world of accomplishments.

Pray that the hand of God come upon you when you need a boost.

Prayer: God of Divine Boost; place your hand on me and my family for good success in Jesus name.  AMEN. 

The Light of Jesus

 

Emoji Devotional for Sat 19th October, 2024

Topic: The Light Of Jesus

Highlight:

John 12:45-46 FBV
When you see me, you're seeing the one who sent me. I have come as a light shining into the world, so if you trust in me you won't remain in the dark.
Touch our body to look and see you O Lord! You may be born again or enlightened in The Spirit. When you reach a level where Jesus light shines on your body and you are being recognised by people around you as born-again Christian, then your body is in good order. And if people points at you and say, He/she is an among idol worshippers or unbeliever or a drunkard then how bad is your light.

Matthew 6:22-23 FBV

The eye is like a lamp that lights the body. So if your eye is healthy, then your whole body will have light. But if your eye is evil, then your whole body will be in the dark. If the ‘light’ you have is actually darkness, how dark is that!

When you are dressed up and you appear to someone who have not known or met you before; Whatever you look like and whatever comes out of your mouth is how you will be addressed. Your body is your city and your voice is your address in the Spirit.



Prayer: Lord Jesus point us to you and let your light of recognition shine on our spirit and soul always on Jesus name. Amen

TIME

 

An Emoji Devotional for Today, 12th October, 2024

Topic: Time

Highlight: Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity. Psalms 93:2

Life of humans are time bound. It's ages and it gets older with time. Time is the master of human life. God cannot be bound by time. He can go back in time and also go ahead of time. Someone who think deep about God wrote Psalms 90:2 that"Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God."

Time is under the power of God is to control and refresh his memories of human race and dispensation. In Job 14:5 Job 14:5 CEVDCI Version says "Our time on earth is brief; the number of our days is already decided by you." This means God has already decided our future. So when you are living time remember Job 33:14-15, 17-20

"God speaks in different ways, and we don't always recognize his voice.  Sometimes in the night, he uses terrifying dreams God does this to make us turn from sin and pride and to protect us from being swept away to the world of the dead. Sometimes we are punished with a serious illness and aching joints. Merely the thought of our favorite food makes our stomachs sick".


Even right now we are in time and our time is decided by God alone.

When you are facing any challenges in life, the first is to seek God's face about it and beg him for mercy and intervention. Only God has seen the future before us and whatever he decides is our fate.

There was a man in Bible who changed his fate when He was told that he should prepare to die. He faced the wall and prayed that God would change His mind. And He got mercy to live for fifteen more years. In Isaiah 38:1-5, We learned that Hezekiah prayed and this has always been what Jesus has been crying loud all His days that we should Watch and Pray Matthew 26:41, so we will not enter into temptation of thinking that anything is beyond God's control.
