Dunamis Seeds of Destiny for Thurs. 5th Oct. 2023

 

TOPIC: Redeemed From The Claims Of The Enemy

 

SCRIPTURE: Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ… 1 Peter 1:18-19.

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: We are God’s creature, and we belong to Him.

 

MESSAGE

Many years ago, I heard the story of a fisherman who took his time to create a little boat, carved it very well the way he wanted it. He was using the precious little boat with all pleasure and would anchor the boat on the seashore after use.

One day, a strong wind came, cut the anchor, and the little boat was lost in the sea.
Another fisherman saw the little boat somewhere, harvested and sold it. Then someone bought it, displayed it in his shop for sale. The owner of the little boat was looking for it. It was not that he could not make another boat, but he had a special attachment to the little boat. Suddenly, he heard that a boat that looked like his boat was put up for sale in a shop.

When he got to that shop, he saw his little boat, recognized it, and told the boat seller that he was the owner of the boat, and that it got lost. The man told him, “I am sorry! I know it is possible that it is yours, but I bought it from someone. If you can pay me the money, you will get it back.”

They agreed, he told the boat seller not to sell it to any other person that he was coming back to buy it. The man went and laboured until he was able to gather enough money to buy back the boat. Then he returned, bought back the boat, and carried it with so much excitement. He said to the boat, “Little boat! Little boat! I now own you twice. First, I created you and now, I have bought you.” What an inspiring story!

Beloved, God is our owner twice: He first created us in His image, but we got hopelessly lost in sin, and in the things of this life. Then He sent His Son Jesus to die for us, and bought us back to Himself (1Corinthians 6:20).

So, we are God’s Creature, and we belong to Him. He created us, then, He redeemed us. So, the devil cannot have any claim over you. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary was God’s rescue operation from all claims of the enemy on man. You owe the devil nothing!

REMEMBER THIS: We are God’s creature, and we belong to Him.

 

ASSIGNMENTS:

  1. Violently reject any form of claim that the devil is trying to lay on your life.
  2. Refuse to hearken to the dictates of the flesh.
  3. Refuse to compromise with the systems of the world.

 

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for the privilege of being called Your own. I am Yours forever. I owe the devil nothing! He cannot have me or what is mine, Lord in Jesus’ Name.

 

FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: THE BLESSING OF THE BLEEDING.

 

DAILY BIBLE READING: Malachi 1-3.

 

QUOTE: The sacrifice of Christ on the Cross of Calvary was God’s solution to the complexities of man’s challenges. The Cross was and is our solution spot. Culled from the book, “The Blessing of His Bleeding” by Dr Paul Enenche.

 

AMAZING FACT: Most ants have blurry vision, but their two compound eyes are great for motion detection. Queens and males have three extra light-sensing eyes on the forehead.

 

PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: Today, I decree that every claim of the enemy on your life is broken, in Jesus’ Name. You owe the devil nothing!

Rhapsody of Realities

Rhapsody of Realities Devotional For Thurs. 5th October, 2023

Rhapsody of Realities Devotional for Thurs. . 5th Oct. 2023
EXPECT GOOD THINGS EVERY DAY

 

And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man (Luke 2:52).

 

MESSAGE

There’re people who don’t expect good outcomes in their lives. They’re so used to struggling, suffering and seeing failure and stagnation that they never expect more. They never expect that their lives could be better. They haven’t learnt to expect favours; they haven’t learnt to take advantage of the grace and glory of God available to all who are in Christ Jesus.
Our opening scripture tells us how Jesus increased in wisdom, increased in stature and also in favour with God and with man. Some people have increased only in stature without increasing in wisdom and favour. Don’t just be satisfied to grow in stature; grow in wisdom and favour. Always affirm, “I’m increasing in favour!”
Yes! Become expectant that God is favouring you. Expect that favour is being channelled towards you from God and men. Expect to always walk into divine opportunities. It’s good to work hard, but remember what the Bible says, “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God” (2 Corinthians 3:5).
Moreover, the Bible says not of works lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:9); it’s not about your hard work but by the grace of God. So, always be in a state of expectancy with God; expect good things because you’re a child of God and a child of grace. His grace is superabundant upon your life.
Expect blessings every day. The Bible says He daily loads us with benefits (Psalm 68:19); He does it every day. Psalm 33:5 says, “…the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.” Who’s the goodness for? It’s for you! So expect good things every day. Make continual proclamations of the favour of God working in your life.

PRAYER / CONFESSION
My faith is alive and working, ever ready to receive, and always expecting good outcomes. I walk into divine favour and opportunities today. I’m conscious that God loves to always prosper me and delights in doing good things for me. I’m conscious that I’m walking in the blessings of Abraham. Amen.

Open Heavens Devotional

Open Heavens Devotional For Thurs. 5th Oct. 2023

Open Heavens Devotional for Thurs. 5th October. 2023

THEME: WHERE ARE YOU?

Thursday, October 5, 2023

MEMORIZE:
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
2Corintians 13:5

Read:
Genesis 3:8-9
8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

 

MESSAGE
I am convinced that the question God asked Adam in our Bible reading is still very relevant today. Beloved, if God asks you that question today, what would be your sincere response?

To answer the question above sincerely, you must first ask yourself another question: “Where was I yesterday?” In this case, yesterday could be last week, last year or when you first got born again. After answering this question sincerely, you can then proceed to answer the question, “Where are you now?”

From the day of birth, we all begin a return journey to where we are from (Ecclesiastes 12:1-7). That is why, no matter how young you are, you are growing older day by day. You should therefore ask yourself regularly, “How far have I gone in fulfilling the purpose of my creation and salvation?”

Let us consider Samson. He used to be a terror to the enemies but he ended up grinding corn in their prison. You should ask yourself, “Am I going on to greater heights, bearing fruits that abide? Am I increasing spiritually or decreasing? Am I spending more time in God’s presence than I used to or is the reverse the case? Am I winning more souls into the kingdom than I used to?”

You should also ask yourself, “Am I increasing financially or decreasing?” If there is a decrease, could it be that you have been eating your seed? Or could it be that you are sowing sparingly (2Corinthians 9:6)? Could it be that, because you have been defaulting in your tithe and offerings, you are working under a divine curse (Malachi 3:8-9)?

Beloved, as a child of God, it is important to ask yourself these questions from time to time. If you discover that you are not experiencing growth in any area of your life, please consider your ways (Haggai.1:5-7). Ask the Holy Spirit to examine you and show you where you might have gotten it wrong. Ask Him for what to do to bring about a positive turn around in your life.
I pray you will fulfil God’s purpose for your life, in Jesus’ name.

 

REFLECTION:
Are you where you are supposed to be?

 

Bible in one year:
Matthews 10-11

 

HYMN:
1. Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before!
Christ, the royal Master,
leads against the foe;
Forward into battle, see his banner go!
Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before!

2. At the name of Jesus
Satan’s host doth flee;
On, then, Christian soldiers,
on to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver
at the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
loud your anthems raise!

3. Like a mighty army
moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
where the saints have trod;
We are not divided; all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.

4. Crowns and thrones may perish,
Kingdoms rise and wane;
But the church Jesus
constant will remain:
Gates of hell can never
‘gainst that church prevail
We have Christ’s own promise
and that cannot fail

5. Onward, then, ye people,
join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices,
in the triumph song;
Glory, praise and honour,
unto Christ the King;
This through countless ages,
men and angels sing.
