Jesus the Promised

Topic: Jesus the Promised

Highlight: 

And he said, I am Abraham's servant.  And the Lord hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.

Genesis 24:34‭-‬35 KJV

The God of Abraham is our God. It is glorious to be wealthy like our ancestors. Genesis 26:12-14 Isaac the son of Abraham was greater than his father. One thing is very important, you need money to spread the gospel. Your testimonies will become evident when you are rich. A man of God was given a very ridiculous price so that he may not preach on a television station of a province who does not want the gospel shared. The television board thought by increasing the cost of airplay on their state tv would scare the man but to their surprise, he paid and people heard the gospel in that state and turned to God through Jesus Christ. 

There is nothing glorious in being tormented or possessed by demons. When a man is possessed by demons, even if he is taken to the hospital and was given drugs. The drugs will not work because demons don't respond to x-ray machines but they respond to the name of Jesus. Mark 5:1-20. When you see anyone hooked on drug, alcohol or any destructive habits, they must have become bound. It is glorious to be set free from demons and it is more glorious to be the one to pray for the demon possessed to be set free. Apostle Paul is a special example in Acts 16:16-18

I am believing God that as you preach Christ, that demons will run for you just as Philip brought great joy into every city he visits Acts 8:5-8 you too will set people free from captivity of demons and fear of it

Jesus is the promised. Once you center yourself on Jesus Christ, you will become a terror to the devil and become free of bondage of fear. John 8:32, 36. The most glorious part is that you will perform miracles, heal the sick and cast out devils. Mark 16:17-18

Prayer: Thank you father for the promised Gift of our Lord Jesus Christ for my sake. God I'm praying for power to center myself on Jesus Christ to perform miracles signs and wonders and to become terror to the kingdom of devils in Jesus name. Father enable me and my family to do mighty things for you in Jesus name.

Looking into the Future

Topic: Looking into the Future

By C.C. Thompson

Highlights

There will be signs.... People will faint from fear and foreboding of what is coming upon the world. Luke 21:25, 26, NRSV. 

John also was a witness of the terrible scenes that will take place as signs of Christ’s coming. He saw armies mustering for battle, and people’s hearts failing them for fear. He saw the earth moved out of its place, the mountains carried into the midst of the sea, the waves thereof roaring and troubled. He saw the vials of wrath opened, and pestilence, famine, and death come upon the inhabitants of the earth. 

Already the restraining Spirit of God is being withdrawn from the world. Hurricanes, storms, tempests, fire and flood, disasters by sea and land, follow each other in quick succession. Science seeks to explain all these. The signs thickening around us, telling of the near approach of the Son of God, are attributed to any other than the true cause. People cannot discern the sentinel angels restraining the four winds, that they shall not blow until the servants of God are sealed. But when God shall bid His angels loose the winds, there will be such a scene of strife as no pen can picture. CTr 316.3

We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecy is fast fulfilling. The Lord is at the door. There is soon to open before us a period of overwhelming interest to all who are living. The controversies of the past are to be revived. New controversies will arise. The scenes to be enacted in our world are not even dreamed of. Satan is at work through human agencies. 

But God’s servants are not to trust to themselves in this great emergency. The program of coming events is in the hands of the Lord. The world is not without a ruler; the Majesty of heaven has the destiny of nations, as well as the concerns of His church, in His own hands...

The important future is before us. To meet its trials and temptations, and to perform its duties, will require great faith and perseverance. But we may triumph gloriously, for not one watching, praying, believing soul will be ensnared by the devices of the enemy. 

All heaven is interested in our welfare and waits our demand upon its wisdom and strength. In the time of trial just before us, God’s pledge of security will be placed upon those who have kept the word of His patience.

Prayer: Dear Lord let your supernatural energy carry and sustain my spiritual lamp in the time the saints gonna go marching in unto heaven in Jesus name.

The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

Psalm 147:11 

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.

Psalm 148:4

Yahweh is the God of the ancient Kingdom of Israel. He is the only God that does not collect any sacrifice or ritual before he can manifest. He only wants our faith and confidence in Him. He decided how many stars there would be in the sky and gave each one a name.

In ancient stories of Israel 

He parted the red sea into two. He turned water into blood. Exodus 14:12

He made sun and moon to stand still Joshua 10:12-14

He slain mighty army before the Ark of Covenant 2 Samuel 1:5-12

He made water to flow from the rock Judges 15:19

He made thunder to fall from heaven to destroy the enemies of His own 1Samuel 7:10-12

He sent fire from heaven to consume water ridden sacrifice 1 King 18: 20 -38

He has done many more uncountable miracles like shutting the lions mouth for Daniel, Making fire to become of none effect, interpreting dreams that was not told.

The God of Isreal is great and powerful! He understands everything.  The Lord helps the oppressed, but he smears the wicked in the dirt.

Psalms 147:5‭-‬6 

There is opportunity to be saved by the God of Isreal when you call upon Him through His son Jesus Christ. God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son Jesus, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die.

John 3:16

If you are not yet saved through Jesus Christ you need to know him right away before it is too late as that is the most important criteria to become part of the recognized children of the God of Isreal. It is time to give your life to Jesus Christ through faith in him, repenting of your sins and confessing Jesus as your Lord and savior. A child of God must also forsake their worldly ways and follow the ways of the God of Isreal. Romans 12:2

The God of Isreal is the real creator of heaven and earth. Believe in Him and call on Him today. Remember to always praise and Worship Him. For He is really good God in all  time till eternity and there is no other God like Him.

Prayer: God of Isreal I worship you and praise your most Holy name. I am calling you into my life through Jesus Christ your loving son. Please come and take care of me from now onward. I trust in your mercy and grace. in Jesus name I pray. Amen

Don't Gamble with God's Kindness

An Emoji Devotions for Sun July 25 2021

Topic: Don't Gamble with God's Kindness

Highlight: 

Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. 

That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. James 1:6b-7

God and money are like different masters. You cannot work for both of them.

Matthew 6:24b

Money cannot buy things that God can give. People sometimes get quite angry and sad because they lack money but money do not go to people because of their sad face. Research shows that people who owe others money may become very sad once they are unable to repay loan but the show of sad face does not change the agreement terms. When we honor God who could give surplus of money without gambling with our intention, He will raise help in times of trouble. 

While at the other hand some people will display honor to God when they lack money but once they become rich, they easily misbehave towards God. King Saul was a perfect example who God enthroned as King over Isreal but went wayward and in the end lost His kingdom to another for it.  1 Samuel 9 -26

"but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life, the lure of wealth, and the desire for other things, so no fruit is produced." Mark 4:19

God frowns at people who gamble with his kindness. We are supposed to keep serving God always either in bad times or in good times. Keep trusting in God and focus on what He only can do. There are many things that money cannot buy. Money cannot buy peace of mind, money cannot buy loyalty and true love. It is "The blessing of the LORD makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it."

From now on DO NOT GAMBLE WITH THE LORDS KINDNESS. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews 10:31

If you are reading this and you are not yet born again. This is the time to make the right decision to give your life to Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus we can have right relationship with God.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, now is the time I'm telling you with my whole heart that I will serve you and be loyal to you. Please help me and deliver me from temptations of bowing to worship Money. I trust you are more than able to provide for all my needs. So help me Lord in your name I pray. 

bigger than the Sun

An Emoji Devotions for Fri July 23rd, 2021

Topic: bigger than the Sun

Highlight: ....for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. Isaiah 60:19

When I look and see the big and magnificent buildings in cities. I see what money can do and my heart skip and tell me right now that God is bigger than all of them. When you are stunned at hearing that someone very rich is sitting close to you begin to look how bigger God is sitting inside of you. The sun shines bright to lighten up the world. But there is a light bigger than the Sun and all other lights combine. That light is Jesus the Son of God

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” John 8:12

Whatever you are aiming at in this life, know that God has already done it somewhere for someone in this world. God who is bigger than the Sun is a bigger light who has promised to shine bright on you forever. If you truly trust God that He is truly your light, you will see everything from the bigger picture of the bigger light of God. 

Look unto Jesus today.

Prayer: Jesus the light of life. Please Enable me to see clearly with your everlasting light. In Jesus name Amen

Waves of Babylon

An Emoji Devotions for Wed 21 July 2021

Topic: Waves of Babylon

Highlight:

Then I heard another voice from heaven shout, “My people, you must escape from Babylon. Don't take part in her sins and share her punishment.

Revelation 18:4 CEVDCI

At one point we were all surrounded by the Babylonian waves. It is what we see around us every day. Have you ever had noises coming from somewhere and you asked someone 'What is that noise? And they answered "That noise is coming from  Babylon". While you are still wondering what is Babylon? Then someone answered - "yes Babylon is the city of the fallen people. it is a place where demons live. a home for every dirty spirit . A home for every dirty bird. A home for every dirty animal which people hate.  Prostitutes makes men become drunk in Babylon. Babylon gives people enough space to have sex in a wrong way. Like this, it has caused people from every country to turn away from God. Even kings and Presidents who rule on the earth have chosen the Babylonian style. The cultist of Babylon has exchanged expensive things from the people on earth. As a result, the Babylonian has become rich by enticing people with their lifestyles.’

 Revelation 18:2‭-‬3 

The waves coming from Babylon is like  sounds of people partying life away. Today Everyone wants to party and get entertained in the Babylonian style. Even on camera, They fight for money in Babylon, they set themselves nude in Babylon, they sing wild songs in Babylon. The Babylonian don't play by the rules. All they want is money and drinks, smokes, drugs, sex everyday in Babylon. They upload it on the media for all to see and they pay celebrities money to show people the Babylonian way of life.

There are guns and blood sheds in Babylon - The prostitutes and filth stay in Babylon. They have done very bad things. Their sins have reached as high as heaven . Just like the days of Sodom - God knows about all the wrong things that they do in Babylon.’

Do you think God is not watching?

Revelation 18:4 says "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

 

Some Father, mother and children even a whole family have died in Babylon and some are dying because they are following the trending waves of Babylon. There is Babylon on every social media websites. On mobile phones, radio, computer and tv. If you are still alive and you are living in the Babylonian style, God is asking you to come out now. 

Jesus Christ is saying "Come unto me, all you that are tired and are tied with heavy burden (of Babylon), and I will give you rest.

Matthew 11:28 

Don't be deceived, Jesus is the only solution. Babylon is a home of devil - a punisher while Jesus is a saviour who wants you to be with him in heaven. Choose wisely today in everything you do and don't get used to waves of Babylon blowing in everyone's mind. Accept Jesus as your Lord and savior today.

Prayer: God please keep me on your side till the end. Let your Holy Spirit guide and protect me from waves of Babylon the fallen. In Jesus name. Amen.

Oil Of Joy

An Emoji Devotions for Mon 19th July, 2021

Topic: The oil of joy

Highlight: 

The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ Matthew 25:8

People need oil to function. But there is a special oil called the oil of joy. Nehemiah 8:10 - "Nehemiah told the people to eat special food and to drink sweet drinks. Nehemiah also told the people to give food and drink to those who had none. He told the people that they should not be sad. They should not be sad because they were giving pleasure to God. This would make them strong. The joy of the Lord is your strength.

When there is Joy in your life, you will be strong. But Joy is one of the special features of the Holy Spirit. It is a sign that you have the Holy Spirit and that is why is mentioned immediately after Love in the Fruits of the Spirit Galatians 5:22 - They are the first three things that work together to birth the rest of the Fruits. When love is mixed together with joy and peace balance. yummy delicious! And once you have the first three you should have the rest. 

In the arrangements of the Fruits of the Spirit Love is followed by Joy and Peace. Joy is sitting in between Love and Peace. Think about it. This is not the type of joy derived from a grove party or by winning a lottery. It's not yoga mantra kind of joy that only last for a moment of pose. It is the Joy that has Love and Peace on both sides. The joy that comes from being born again. Even the worldly people are coming to realized that Happiness is Free when they see a joyous believer in Christ. They could not just figure out that such Joy comes through salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ. We hope they believe and accept it before it's too late.

You have that Joy of salvation because You have received a new life. It is not people that gave you this new life so therefore no matter what people say and do will not take your joy away. You know there's a human kind of life which does not continue for ever. You are not living as a man, you are living as Christian unto God. Once you do something that offends people, they will change against you. But God's new life does not come to an end and the joy that comes with it does not come to an end too. So this makes you happy and the happiness cannot be controlled by anyone. Congratulations! You have been born again into a new life, because you believed God's message - you should be happy. That message continues to be true and it does not change.

1 Peter 1:23 

As from now, no one can control my joy in Christ and if anyone ask me what is the source of my joy. I will tell them it is God that gives me joy. I will lead them to salvation of Jesus Christ so that they too will all have Joy in full. 

It is not too late to give your life back to God. Accept Jesus as the truth you need to find your way to God and you will receive Eternal life. Close your eyes and believe in Jesus Christ and pray in His name to God to give you His Holy Spirit. Do not do things the old way. Learn God's way by reading A Holy Bible each day and you enjoy the Joy of God.

Isaiah 61:3 - To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord , that He may be glorified.”

Prayer: O Lord I want you to be glorified in my life. Please give me the irreplaceable joy of Holy Spirit that cannot be exchanged for anything else in this world in Jesus name. Amen.
