DAILY DIVINE WORD 27TH JANUARY 2021

TOPIC:
PRIDE IN THE LORD

TEXT:
Jer.9.23 Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise and skillful person glory and boast in his wisdom and skill; let not the mighty and powerful person glory and boast in his strength and power; let not the person who is rich [in physical gratification and earthly wealth] glory and boast in his [temporal satisfactions and earthly] riches; (AMP)

Jer.9.24 But let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character], that I am the Lord, Who practices loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord. (AMP)

IT is normal to an average man to try and reflect in his mind the exploit he has done and most times he traces his successes to how much he has contributed to them. On the contrary, an average man will also look for whom to blame in case he fails in tasks. It is very hard for a mind that is yet to encounter the Lord to separate his achievement from his preparation, energy and skills. And even the mind with God's knowledge too might find it hard to remove his skills and hard work from his successes. It is good to acknowledge one's strength in works, however having the knowledge of God supercede all these!

GOD through prophet Jeremiah advices that the rich should not boast in their wealth, the intelligent in their brain, the strong in the strength but let him that boast that he knows God! The best a man can get from life is the assurance of having an encounter with Jehovah! An encounter with Jehovah gives meaning to life, peace to the heart, rest to the mind, and it worth every pride! The purpose of God for our lives is that the only thing that would have meaning to us as his children is how much of God we have come to know, how deep of God we have come to dig. 

How much of God do you have? Those material things are mirage, they will fade away with time and even if they don't fade away, you will leave them someday. But you see, the part of God you have will never fade, it sticks to you forever, it stays with you here on earth and you have a more meaningful revelation after here. Knowing God brings satisfaction, hope, joy and peace, it is the only success that could afford such things. Do you know God? Yes? Then boast only in that!

THINK TANK:
What do you know of God?

PRAYER:
FATHER, THANK YOU FOR OPENING YOURSELF TO ME, HELP ME TO ALWAYS SEEK YOU UNTIL I SEE YOU IN 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...
