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 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...

DAILY DIVINE SUNSET DEVOTIONAL

DAILY DIVINE SUNSET DEVOTIONAL 4th May 2023   TOPIC : Living with Power   TEXT :  Acts 1:6-8 [ 6]When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? [7]And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. [8]But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. MANY people had thought that to make impact in life has to deal with having plenty money, while the Bible actually says money answers all things, we must understand that the Bible does not say money rules affairs. Also many people believes that mercy is the only key that opens a meaningful life, while that might be true, if mercy will not deliver Power to any one, the impact might be minimal. Many rich people w...
