DAILY DIVINE WORD 12TH JANUARY 2021

TOPIC:
AVOID NEGOTIATION

TEXT:
Gen.25.29 - And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
30 - And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
31 - And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
32 - And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
33 - And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
34 - Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.

EVERYTHING we've had and everything we have comes from God, we've not received anything that doesn't come from God and this is possible because we have Christ! The devil has nothing to offer except for mirage and because he knows that what God has given us is forever, he will always come around for exchange of these gifts. The strategy the devil uses in the garden of Eden is same thing he is using till date. And that strategy is NEGOTIATION!

Esau fell into this, he was not really going to understand what it means to give what belongs to you eternally for what you need for temporal. How could he not understand the weight of birthright and food? But became careless and insensitive that he traded God's gift for mirage!

You need to understand where God is taking you to, you need to understand that everything you have in God is packaged in Christ and that whatever comes outside of Christ is a sign of the devil whispering negotiation into your ears. Be sensitive and do not give the enemy of your soul chance for negotiation, don't negotiate your destiny with mirage, don't compare God's gift with things that doesn't last. Understand this, if it's outside of Christ, it's beyond your territory, don't give a look!

THINK TANK:
If it's outside of Christ, it doesn't worth your attention, move on!

PRAYER:
Father, may I not trade your gift with fading glory 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...
