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.

DO NOT FEAR

DAILY DIVINE WORD 2ND JULY 2026 Topic : DO NOT FEAR Text : Psalm 53: 4-5 4 - Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God. 5 - There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them. One of my best prayers in the scriptures was the prayer Apostle Paul prayed in Ephesians 1:18, which says  "The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints"  Because many times the struggles and battles we face are not necessary, only if we know that the Lord has fought for us.  The Lord, speaking through David in the scriptures above, gives a description of his people who are in great fear because they feel there are enemies and they will beat them like men eat meat; however,...

Text : Luke 8: 49-56 49 - While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. 50 - But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. 51 - And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. 52 - And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. 53 - And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. 54 - And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. 55 - And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. 56 - And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done. Nothing is constant in life, because even the earth will ...

LET IT GO

DAILY DIVINE WORD  Wednesday, 8th July 2026 Topic : LET IT GO Text : Colossians 3:13-14 13 - Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 - And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. It's natural when people work and live together to have offences, and it's going to happen so many times, to live and enjoy our relationship, we must learn to let go of offenses no matter how extremely bad it may be. While every child of God must strive to avoid offending people through our words and actions, we must also note that each time we are offended, the right response is to let go.  Is forgiveness a difficult thing to do? Absolutely yes, and I believe that no man can forgive especially offences that are grievous. But as difficult as this may be, the expectations of God are that we forgive as God forgives. The Bible reading this morning says exactly as Ch...
