DAILY DIVINE WORD, 14TH FEBRUARY 2020

TOPIC: FOLLOW NOT THEIR WAYS
TEXT:Isaiah 8:11-12
[11]For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
[12]Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.

For every human, we always gets to a point in life where we need to take a decision and follow suit, most times, our decisions are based on the things that surrounds us. There's a common saying; "the voice of people is the voice of God." This statement is logically correct because people believe that the majority has the advantage of numbers but it is spiritually wrong because God himself is a majority and His voice carries His desire and not people's selfish desires.

God understanding this, gave Isaiah this strong instruction not to walk in the path of the people, God also told him not to call for conspiracy when people are calling for it. God was saying, even when you think it's generally acceptable and logically right, still don't follow in the ways of these people, don't subject your reasoning to the theories and principles of the people, because they cannot be stable.

Not everything acceptable to people is acceptable before God, because the majority are doing it does not justify it, it doesn't matter if logic supported it, what matters is what is God's position. The Holy Spirit is telling us this day that we should never walk in the ways of the world, we should understand in clear principle that as a child of God, we have got a standard that is not worldly but heavenly. God's voice is way different from the voice of the world. 

THINK TANK: Always gets God's opinion on every decisions of life.
PRAYER: Father, give me the grace not to walk in the ways of the world, help me to hear and understand your voice in Jesus Name.

IT'S ALREADY PREPARED

DAILY DIVINE WORD  (A Sunset Devotional) 26th July, 2025 THEME : It's Prepared Already. SCRIPTURAL REFERENCE : Mark 14: 12-15: 12 - Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?" 13 - And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him. 14 - Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, "The Teacher says, "Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"' 15 - Then he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared; there make ready for us." If a man knows what has been prepared for him and when exactly it will come to him, maybe we would worry less, maybe we won't even be anxious over anything as the scripture advised us. But, the mystery about life and about walking with...

DAILY DIVINE WORD 5TH MAY 2021

Wednesday, 5th May 2021 TOPIC : ACCESS TO THE HILL TEXT : Ps.24.3-5: 3. Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? 4. He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. RECENTLY there was a post by someone on social media who claimed that at the RCCG Redemption Camp, she left her reading glass on the altar believing God for miracles, and according to her she came back the following day to pick up her glasses and she will never believe anything again. This is a sad reality, that our young minds are looking for God's hands when we should focus on God's face. However, everyone desire to stand at the hills of God, everyone wants to stand at his Holy place because they understand that is where his blessings reside. But the question that has been asked for ages is "Who shall ...

DAILY DIVINE WORD 26TH JANUARY 2021

TOPIC: GUARD YOUR FREEDOM. TEXT:  1Cor.8.9 - But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 1Cor.8.10 - For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 1Cor.8.11 - And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 1Cor.8.12 - But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 1Cor.8.13 - Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. TRUTHFULLY  Christ came to deliver freedom to us, Christ's freedom is also freedom indeed because He says "if the son shall set you free, you shall be free indeed." He has given us freedom from traditions, laws, old practices, superstitions, tales, and the likes. So we have liberty in J...
