DAILY DIVINE WORD 14TH MAY 2021

TOPIC: BE IN CHARGE

TEXT: Acts.24.16 :
Therefore I always exercise and discipline myself [mortifying my body, deadening my carnal affections, bodily appetites, and worldly desires, endeavoring in all respects] to have a clear (unshaken, blameless) conscience, void of offense toward God and toward men. (AMP)

It is often a discussion between people especially young minds in the church of what should be their reaction or part to play in God's finished work through Christ Jesus. The truth is that, God through his son Jesus Christ has completed everything that is left to be done, he is coming back to perfect the glory when he comes to take us home, so the honest truth is that, Christ did all these without our effort. Does that means we have nothing to do again once we give our lives to Christ? No. Christ gave us a life, and our part to play is to live the life!

It's our responsibility to live the life Christ has freely given to us, it our part to play this life consciously through our knowledge of him. Apostle Paul in the text above clearly explained how he made it an intentional act to live the life. He completely took charge of the life, and made an intentional effort to see that as much as he pleases God with his life, he made his conscience clean even in dealing with fellow men. He said he exercise himself and discipline himself, why? Because he want to please God and live a life with free conscience with all men.

God has perfected the life he freely gave to you, owns that life, live the life according to his word, take charge! Be responsible for the life given to you. Live the life with an understanding that hundreds of people look up to you, you can't afford to live carelessly, while you need to please God with your life, you need to also see that your conscience is always pure as regards how you live your life. Take charge!

THINK TANK: Be responsible with how you live!

PRAYER: Father, help me to take charge through your words, the life entrusted into my hand 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...
