Text: Deuteronomy 28:1 (KJV)

And it shall come to pass, if thou shall hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth. 

Friends, for us to experience any increase, we must learn to listen to action. This requires us to choose to respectfully and happily obey our makers in all things. It grows by reason of intimate relationship which compels us to act. And as we clearly hear the voice of God that we follow; although He speaks in diverse ways, we must learn to comply with His standard as the Good Shepherd. So, the closer you are to him, the more familiar you are to the tone of His voice.  John 10:4- And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.   So, we must learn to obey absolutely and in details for that ultimate result to come by.

Amazingly, if I may ask, in the journey of that decision today, do you still hear His unique voice with specific instruction again? Or has it become old pattern? Indeed, if you are part of his sheep, you must listen to his voice at the start, middle, up to the ending point. The language of his voice is HIS WORD. He said in this Word: my sheep hear my voice and follow. The truth is that you either hear the voice of God or you will hear and obey the voice of a stranger. John 8:47- He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore, you do not hear because you are not of God. So, I encourage you to hear and follow his leading because that is how you can keep the channel of His instruction open at all times. And God will make us active listeners in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1.        Father, I disassociate myself from the wrong company that has become a barrier to the clarity of my channel of communication with You and it has made me forfeit my blessing in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Friends, remember, it is the word of God that can help you to distinguish the voice of a strange.

 

Text: 2 Kings 4:2 (KJV)

And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not anything in the house, save a pot of oil.

There is a hidden substance in us but we need to be conscious as to see the elementary particles because that is what will birth the miraculous. Proverbs 20:27-The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all the innermost parts of his heart. There is a small amount of God’s nature present within and around us. No matter how empty you may feel, there is a residue of God’s seed around you; it is usually very little. Therefore, looking inward makes you focus on internal things that yield giant results. The first step is always costless without efforts but requires obedience to the prophetic instruction.

Interestingly, from the text of today, there was a pot of oil right in the house of the woman, but she said that she had nothing. She never thought that the pot of oil was carrying the blessing. But thank God, she still called the pot of oil something.  Job14:9-Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. So, do not devalue and despise that little beginning, but instead, look within and treasure it. We are so preoccupied with the outward that we forget the inward, so let us learn to look inward. That little beginning is available in everything from our career, to business, relationship etc . Therefore, let us learn to look inward, look within from the waste, and the abandoned because that can be your key to activate the recessive gene in you. We need to wake up those inactive seeds so that they can germinate again.  Beloved, that little residue in your hand cannot waste. We can see, at the end, the widow with just a pot of oil had excess to sell and pay up the debt, and her children could live with what was left. So, let us learn to be sensitive to prophetic utterance, it may come casually, but we can ignite the Spirit to bring forth the miraculous in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1. Father, please re-activate my inactive abilities that were forcefully made recessive as many came from prophetic utterance in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember to ignite the force within as to provoke the wonders ahead.

 

 

Text: Luke 18:22 (KJV)

Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing; sell all that thou hast, distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

Friends, we need to discover that one thing that we still lack as to enjoy the treasure in heaven and on earth.  For the rich ruler he asked Jesus what shall I do to inherit eternal life.  And Jesus gave the list of the “do nots” and his response is, he has kept all from his youth up.  Truly, no man is complete because there is always something missing, but his answer was with pride.  We still have an aspect of us that needs help, this is because we are not perfect, but we can tend towards perfection through Jesus. So, we just need to accept His help by following His instruction to the later. And our instructions are unique to us as individuals. For instance, to the rich ruler, it was just to distribute his goods to the poor and the treasure in heaven will be his. Matthew 6:19- Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal

Interestingly, in our text of today, we can see that the rich man had everything, but a time came when he realized that there was an empty place like a vacuum in his life, so he went to the Good Master for help. Psalms 23:1- The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. It is in God's supply that all our needs are satisfied. Think about it; there is only one instruction we need to follow to meet our needs. We ask the same question today in our lives, family, the world at large. For Mr, “A” it might be obedience to instruction therefore, we just need to obey completely because God's yoke is easy, and his burden is light.  I pray God will help us to still see and do that one thing lacking in our journey to a glorious destiny n Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1.        Father, please show me the area where I still lack in my walk with you, so as to amend my salvation experience, in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, to give willingly and sacrificially to God and the poor.

 

Text: Philippians 2:8-9 (KJV)      

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name

We must form the habit of cultivating the mind that was in Christ Jesus for our elevation. Humility is a sign of maturity and wisdom. So, Jesus not self - centered, Yes, being in the form of God humbled himself without making himself equal with God rather took up servanthood and obeyed all even the death on the cross.  Can we allow God to process us to the top today?  God still elevates and raises to a higher position. We should not put upon ourselves unnecessary reputation without Gods signature of approval. Let’s remember we came from a humble background, so do not over rack yourself because many people have belittled or demeaned themselves because of self- ego and place themselves where God did not position them. Proverbs 22:4- By humility and fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life. Let’s learn to place ourselves in the hand of God. Allow the garment and the nature of Jesus to rub on us because when you exalts yourself God humbles you but when you humble yourself God will exalt you to a greater position

Friends, we must learn to grow in this kingdom with a humble lifestyle. Therefore, put off arrogant lifestyle  but live modest for a sustainable growth. You don’t class yourself up because a humble person always believe that he is better than every other person. 1Peter5:6 Humble yourselves therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. Let’s allow God to exalt us at the right time and not self-motivated because it will not last.  Joseph is another character – given a special coat of many colours by his father but still lived as a servant. And his leadership over Egypt was a humbling experience. So, learn to recognize God's hand in everything, and He you will gradually elevate you by humility in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1.       Oh Lord heal our generation from this attitude of ego that has displaced many destines today in Jesus name

ACTION  QUOTE: Friends, the nature of Jesus can still rub on us if we allow His leading in all  that we do.

 

Text: 1Peter5:6 (KJV)      

Humble yourselves therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.

Friends, character can hinder a man’s growth and elevation if you are not careful. And humility is a garment to wear and not pride as pride goes before destruction, so be very careful. There is always an environment that is ideal or favorable for growth. Jesus, the only begotten son of God shows us a modest character as he came down to the earth and humbled himself in the form of a servant before he was exalted. Philippians 2:8-9- And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name. So, let’s cloth ourselves today with humility as it is a selfless lifestyle that looks out for the salvation and the benefits of others.

Amazingly, for us to enjoy a lasting and outstanding honour, it comes from humility and we can continue to learn it today for our glory experience tomorrow. Therefore, we need to be comfortable with the way God made us and in due time he will certainly elevate us and not by eye service as many do. Proverbs 15:33- The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility. Remember, humility can take and sustain one on the throne. So, let us apply the imputed nature of Christ and live like him in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1.       Father, l pray that you cloth us with the garment of humility in all areas of my life, so that Christ will be visible and not self in Jesus name

ACTION  QUOTE: Remember, your due time of elevation is possible with the attitude of humility

 

Text: Daniel 1:5 (KJV)

And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king’s meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.

Friends, God’s is still supplies daily provisions for our promotion, and all we need is to go buy His appointment and not man’s dictate. Have you ever noticed that there is an appointment that one gets that takes them to the palace in a triumphant way?  Yes, it is an all funded appointment in which all our needs are being met. But, we have a responsibility as to enjoy the full package. According to Daniel 1:8- But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.  And God brought him unto favour and tender love and this is what distinguished them from their counterparts and singled them out for elevation and honour. The goodnews is that their faces and their countenance appeared fairer and fatter than all that eat the portion of the king’s meat as the requested to eat pulse.

Amazingly, we should be careful with certain offers of appointment because it might make us compromise our choices, values and our associations which in turn would affect our faith, but in the case of Daniel, he decided not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, which was a good decision. They refused to be contaminated and not deny their belief in God but were exempted. Indeed, this decision made them to be separated and were even equipped with the unique ability that made them stand out at the end of the three years because Psalms 75:6- For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. So, remember God is the lifter of men, so when we settle with God we can be reassured of appointment and promotion in Jesus name

PRAYER POINT:

1.       Father, qualify us by your grace and standards, so that we can be positioned for greatness and honour and not by self-appraisal, in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember to boldly say ‘NO’ to appointments with demotion undertone in our faith journey.

 

Text: Daniel 1:5 (KJV)

And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king’s meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.

Have you ever noticed that there is an appointment that one gets that can take you to the palace in a triumphant way? Indeed, the package is with the king’s honour and seal loaded with daily provision by approval, so you lack nothing. This is a realm of noiseless breakthrough, where your efforts are not needed. In this place, life is beautiful and it has every good thing available by your appointment package both wine and bread in sufficient quantity. Remember, there is no scarcity before the king. And the good news is that you have been endowed daily by covenant. Psalm 68:19 Blessed be the Lord who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Friends, all that patterns to life and godliness are in His pavilion as our salvation experience has obtained for us benefits for living both here on earth and life everlasting..

Amazingly, according to our text, we can see that this appointment qualified them for enough benefits and promotion packages, but they had to choose between their faith or following the earthly king’s pattern of things or our ultimately king’s pattern of operatio

n. So, the best part is that we are qualified by Christ where our labour is not needed for result. And I pray God will help us to walk into this revelation and our appointment approval to overflow in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1.       Oh Lord, equip us with unique and special provisions that will make us to stand before the king in our fields, in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, God’s provision is a balanced meal and there is no mal nourishment in Him.
