Joshua 1:9 ‘Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.’

DAILY READING – John 8; 1 Chronicles 29; Zechariah14

David Hogan was born and raised in a family that for generations has preached the Gospel. But while growing up David rebelled and began to live a hard life of drinking, gangs and violence. However, after a divine encounter with God, his life turned around and he accepted Jesus as his Saviour.
In 1977 he became convinced that he was called to minister in Mexico..
He moved there with his wife and they began ministering to the Indians of Mexico.
At the initial stage of his ministry,, one-day he came to where someone had died and he heard the Lord tell him to raise the dead person. But David was so filled with doubt and fear that he did not obey.
When he left that place, afterwards he was filled with remorse and grief for not boldly obeying the Lord.
Two months later, he was preaching in a small village in Mexico, when he was asked by an Indian father to come and pray for his dying child.
When he got to the house he found the child had died and standing around were two black magic warlocks and two spiritist healers who had been called to heal the boy, but had failed to do so.
The boy’s father then turned to David Hogan and asked him to do something. Again, doubt, unbelief and fear began to grip him, but this time, he was determined to obey God. So he began to pray in tongues for a long while.
Just when he was about to conclude that his prayer would not work, the boy jerked back to life.
This first experience of raising the dead gave David Hogan a deep insight about exercising faith even in the face of adverse circumstances.
It also ignited in him the faith to begin ministering with such boldness that through his ministry there were overwhelming number of healings, including many people being raised from the dead.

To do the work of the Lord, we need supernatural boldness imparted into our hearts. This is because, as we start out on our journey, we will be confronted by giants, battles, and all manner of fearful challenges.
Except the Spirit of God emboldens us and goes with us we may be too afraid to make any move. We need the Holy Spirit to quicken us and strengthen us even when it looks like nothing is going to work. But as we continually fill our heart with the Word, the Holy Ghost will impart into our hearts the faith we need to overcome the world.
When Joshua was about to go forth with the army of Israel to possess the promised land, God commanded him to meditate on the Word day and night, by so doing he will be strong, courageous, and not be afraid or dismayed.
Likewise to possess our promised land and come into our inheritance we must be filled with faith through constant meditation in the Word.
While fear comes from looking at the impossibilities in the world, faith comes from looking at the possibilities in God’s Word.
Even when outward circumstances appear too difficult, through faith in God’s Word we can experience a supernatural turnaround.
Certainly today, as we keep blessing God and keep moving with boldness, surely He will cause us to experience amazing open doors and supernatural progress in our endeavors..

PRAYER: Lord, please enable me to meditate constantly on Your Word so that I can be strong and courageous to possess my inheritance of greater open doors this year in Jesus Name. .

Psalms 82:6 ‘I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.’

DAILY READING; John 7:25-52; 1 Chronicles 29; Zechariah13

On a very dark night, if you look up at the sky, you may find a faint band of light that appears like milk spilled across the sky.
This band of light is our galaxy, which the ancient Romans called ‘via lacteal’ meaning the “milky way.”
The Milky Way is massive and unimaginable in size, yet it is only one of billions of galaxies in the universe.
A galaxy is a huge bunch of stars clustered together in space. It is estimated that there are between 100 and 400 billion stars in the Milky Way.
These billions of stars are far separated from each other by great distances.
For instance, the Sun which is one of the stars in the Milky Way has its closest neighboring star about 4.24 light-years away. A light-year is about 9.44 trillion km and would take walking for 950 million years to cover the distance!
Outside of the Milky Way there are countless number of stars in the other billons of galaxies in the universe. The total number of stars in the observable universe is believed to be more than all the grains of sand on all the oceans of the world combined.
Yet, the Bible says that God calls these stars by their names and incredibly holds the entire universe in His hands!
God says in Isaiah 48:13 “Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.”

We must always keep in mind that God who created and controls the amazingly vast universe, is also our Heavenly Father.
It’s easy to go through life thinking that we’re insignificant, ordinary, nothing special about us and just another statistic among the eight billion people on earth.
But as a believer, there is nothing ordinary or average about you.
You are born of God and ordained to manifest His power and dominion as a god upon the earth.
Psalms 82:6 says ‘I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.’
Jesus re–echoed this statement in John 10:34, when He told the Jews ‘Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?’

As children of God we are destined to be signs and wonders to our world.
Yet too many times, we fail to realize who we truly are. We focus on our weaknesses, our inadequacies, our failures, mistakes, family limitations etc.
But as sons of God, greatness is in our genes and we are destined to stand out in our fields of endeavor and leave our mark on our generation.
We are not expected to fail or be defeated because we carry the DNA of Almighty God and therefore must live extraordinary lives that reflect our divine nature.
However, to live in victory, we need to be full of faith which is the victory that overcomes the world. And faith comes by diligently focusing on God’s Word.
Today, let us constantly seek God’s Word so as to receive the power to live as sons of God upon the earth and truly manifest the amazing nature of the Almighty creator of the universe.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for ordaining me for dominion on earth. Certainly through Christ I can do all things and in this season I receive grace to ascend to extraordinary heights to truly show that I am born of God in Jesus Name. .

Zephaniah 3:19 ‘Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.”

DAILY READING; John 7:1-24; 1 Chronicles 27-28; Zechariah 12

Brandy Allison is a Christian artist who has recently been making waves with her single titled, ‘Walking on Faith’.
Though early in life, she had developed a love for singing, as she grew older, feelings of low self-esteem and lack of self-worth, made her give up on her dreams.
As a teenager, she suffered from depression and eventually became hooked on drugs. At age 17, she moved out of her parents’ home and began dating an old friend named Josh, whom she soon married. Brandy’s husband hauled cattle in an 18-wheeler and often used drugs to stay awake as he drove long distances. He and Brandy became so addicted to drugs, that they couldn’t function without it.
One day Josh got into a devastating accident and later died at the hospital. After receiving news of her husband’s death from the doctors, Brandy felt she had come to the end of the road. So right there in the hospital’s waiting room, she surrendered her life to Jesus.
With God’s help, she overcame her addiction to drugs. God also helped her to heal from the pain of losing her husband. Through reading the Bible, over time she started seeing herself as God sees her and that dealt with her feelings of depression and low self-esteem.
Soon she rediscovered her love for singing and embarked on writing and recording songs. Today, she has been making impact as she shares her journey of faith through her music. She’s also taken up acting, and recently starred in her first film, a Christian movie called “Virtuous”.

It’s interesting how we start off in life with big dreams. But over time the enemy attacks us with self-doubt and eventually convinces us we lack what it takes to make it to the top.
Lack of self-worth has been a major force in making people to settle for less than God’s best for them and lower their moral standards.
But no matter how disheveled things may sometimes become, God remains committed in restoring His original design for our lives.
God is in the life change business. He can take that which is crooked and fix it. He can take that which is bent and straighten it out. He can take that which is shattered and put it back together.
When you give Jesus full control, He enables you to overcome failures and rise above your self-imposed limitations.
Through seeing yourself in the mirror of God’s Word, you will be transformed into the amazing person God originally intended you to be.
The resurrection power in the Blood of Jesus is ordained for the supernatural restoration of our redemptive dignity.
It can take us from a life of shame to fame, and restore our story back to God’s original plan of glory.
In Zephaniah 3:19 God says ‘Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.”

Certainly God is able to give us a divine turnaround today, therefore let us stay focused on His Word and keep praising Him for the great and mighty things He is set to do in our lives.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the transformational power in the Blood of Jesus that is taking me from a life of mediocrity to the supernatural life of victory and blessings You have ordained for me in Jesus Name.

Thessalonians 5:18 ‘In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.’

DAILY READING; – John 6:60-71; 1 Chronicles 25-26; Zechariah 11.

Charles Darwin is known as the architect of the theory of evolution by natural selection, which contradicts the Biblical account of creation.
Interestingly, in his youth, Charles Darwin was a Christian who attended an Anglican school with the aim of becoming a church pastor or vicar and had a university degree in divinity.
However, his life changed in 1831 when Darwin was offered a position as a naturalist on a British Royal Navy survey ship. During the voyage he compiled data from nature that led to his own theory of evolution and made him criticize the Bible’s account.
Darwin continued to backslide in his faith and was accused of incest when in 1839 he married his first cousin named Emma Wedgwood. Darwin’s marriage to his first cousin produced ten interbred children of whom three died before age 10 and others suffered various health challenges.
Darwin continued to lose his faith, until around 1849 when he finally stopped attending Church.
In 1851, when his favorite daughter at age 10, died from fever, Darwin was devastated.
At that point he refuted his belief in God and began to spread his theory of evolution that attacked the authority of God’s Word in Genesis.
One immediate effect of Darwin’s rejection of the Bible was his loss of joy. He worried constantly, fretted about everything and suffered from anxiety.
He was a man of chronically bad health who struggled with a long list of afflictions, including heart palpitations, stomachaches and headaches. It seemed that the more he railed against God, the more his life was laden with problems and troubles until his death in 1882.

Darwin’s life shows that a person cannot go against God and have peace.
As believers, we should place our lives and times in God’s hands, and determine that His Word will always be our final authority.
No matter what happens we trust in Him and refuse to lose hope or give up our faith.
It is not the greatness of a challenge that defeats a man but his attitude towards it. Those who become offended towards God and complain, only complicate their matter.

Numbers 11:1 says the Israelites “complained about their hardships and when God heard it his anger was aroused.” As a result, He destroyed some of the people.
Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 10:9-10 ‘Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.’

Seeing that murmuring or complaining can be destructive, let us therefore make the conscious choice to avoid it and rather always judge God faithful in every situation. The eternal truth is that God is always good.
Whatever we may have lost at any point in time, God is the reason why we did not lose everything. And as long as we remain grateful and thankful, it is only a matter of time before God gives us total recovery and complete victory.
Gratitude—not grumbling, is what motivates God to work on our behalf.
Praise is what triggers the intervention of the Omnipotent God in our affairs.
Therefore today, no matter what challenges you may face, always resist the temptation to complain and in everything keep giving thanks to God.
Maintain your joy because the joy of the Lord is the source of your strength to overcome every trial and have the victory at last.

PRAYER; Lord, I thank You for I know my life and my times are firmly in Your hands and You are in perfect control of my destiny. Thank You for working everything together for my good in Jesus Name.

Ephesians 5:16-18 [NLT] ‘Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit’.

DAILY READING; John 6:22-59; 1 Chronicles 24; Zechariah10

The invention of modern clocks we use today is credited to Peter Henlein a clockmaker from Nuremberg, Germany.
Events in his life might have prompted Peter Henlein to value the use of time and invent a way for easily measuring it.
He was born in 1485, and it appeared that in his early adulthood, while working as a watch maker, he had lived a reckless life. The result of his unstable life resulted in his getting eventually married to three different women.
However an event that happened on September 7, 1504, drastically changed the course of his life.
On that day, he got involved in a brawl and during the fight a person was killed. As one of the accused, Peter asked for and received asylum in the Franciscan Monastery of Nuremberg. There he lived for the next four years.
This monastery had a history as a center of scientific and astronomical knowledge and it afforded Peter Henlein the opportunity to seek deeper knowledge of the craft of clock making.
His time at the monastery must also have been spent in sober reflection, which prompted him to take a decision to make judicious use of his remaining time on earth. After a year of being at the monastery, in 1505, Peter Henlein invented the world’s first watch, a fire-gilded pomander.
When he came out in 1508, by the following year, in November 1509, he became a master in the city’s locksmith guild, making portable expensive ornamental clocks for the nobility of his day. The rest of his life was spent in making remarkable strides in his career which established him in history as “the father of the modern clock” and “the originator of the entire clock making industry”. Due to his invention, today, it is easy to see what time it is by just checking your cellphone or your wristwatch;

To get control of your life you must first get control of your time. Rather than living unfocused and undisciplined lives, we are to redirect each minute of our lives toward a worthy purpose.
The truth is that we are on earth to fulfill a particular destiny and calling, within a limited space of time. Therefore in this world, time is one of our most valuable commodities. Time is more valuable than money because while you can make more money, you can’t make more time.
You’re either investing time or wasting it.
Wasted time is very costly because every lost minute is gone forever.
Those who accomplish great things are those who have learned to utilize their time and set their priorities in order.
Ephesians 5:16-18 [NLT] ‘Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do.’

If you’re going to reach your highest potential you have to be an on-purpose person. While we may have options of various pursuits in life, what is most important is investing our time to run in the path of our divine calling.
Proverbs 4:18 says ‘the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.’
This means that the path God has ordained for us is already programmed to keep shinning, brighter and brighter. Therefore when we follow God’s preordained path, making wise use of our time, we will keep experiencing greater open doors and ascending higher heights of glory..

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to begin to make good use of my time. Help me to focus on what matters, and not on frivolities. Let being obedient to Your instructions be always top priority in my life in Jesus’ Name.

Romans 8:18 ‘For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us’

DAILY READING; John 6:1-21; 1 Chronicles 22:2-23:32; Zechariah9

The common childhood experiences of 700 eminent people were captured in the book ‘Cradles of Eminence’.
Written in 1962, the book is a study of famous people and an analysis of what made them outstanding when they were children, but it also looked into what effect their surroundings had on them that made them to eventually become great in life.
The book revealed how the childhood environment and, more specifically, the relationship with one’s close family members, can have a long-lasting impact on character development.
The book is based on the authors’ review of thousands of biographies on famous individuals.
The authors, Victor and Mildred Goertzel spent years attempting to understand what common thread might run through all of these outstanding people’s lives. Surprisingly, the most outstanding fact was that virtually all of them, had to overcome very difficult obstacles in order to become who they were.

Indeed the path to greatness is a path often fraught with challenges. And it is only through overcoming those challenges that one truly becomes a winner and achiever in life.
As we go through the scriptures, we find also that most of those greatly used by God, were those who first passed through fire.
Joseph went through slavery and imprisonment before mounting the throne of Egypt. For David, most of his Psalms were written in very difficult times. Apostle Paul, wrote most of the Epistles from prisons. Even today, most of the present day great men and women have had to pass through various physical and spiritual oppositions to bring the Gospel to people.
God does not tempt anyone, nor bring these trials, but when the enemy does, God uses them as trainers for our spiritual muscles. Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through trials and challenges, can the soul be strengthened, faith inspired, and success achieved.
The believer’s life is an overcomer’s life. It is a life of continually triumphing over challenges and moving from victory to victory. And our victory comes through the faith imparted to our heart by God’s Word.
This is why in times of trials, we do not focus on the negative things, rather we focus on Christ Jesus. No matter the trial, we keep looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.
When you’re in a challenging situation, and choose to walk by faith, trusting God, certainly, it will all turn around for your good and to the glory of God.
Understand that the difficulties you are passing through are only preparing you for something better. This is why you must hold on to God’s Word, no matter how fierce the battle. You must keep living right and doing right because victory is coming.
Whatever may come your way, you will always come out on top because the greater One lives in you. Christ in you is the hope of glory. Therefore in every situation, keep giving praise to God, because as long as you are in Christ, your story will always end in glory.

PRAYER: Lord, please grant me the grace to live an overcomer’s life by maintaining a lifestyle of consistent prayers, study of the Word and praise. Thank You for revealing Your glory through my story in Jesus Name.

Leviticus 6:13 ‘The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar, it shall never go out..’

DAILY READING –John 5:19-47; 1 Chronicles 20:1-22:1; Zechariah8

George Whitefield is noted as a phenomenon in the history of Christianity. There has been nothing like the combination of his preaching pace and geographic extent and auditory scope and attention-holding effect and converting power.
Whitefield was an outstanding Anglican preacher in the eighteenth century, who decided to pour himself out for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
He was one of the spearheads of the Great Awakening, which was a period of massive renewal of interest in Christianity across Western societies and a time of significant church growth. Whitefield was a riveting orator, who invested great zeal and passion towards the spread of the Gospel.
From his first outdoor sermon on February 17, 1739, at the age of 24 until his death 30 years later on September 30, 1770,, his life was one of almost daily preaching. He preached almost six hours a day, seven days a week.
It is estimated that he preached about 1,000 times every year for 30 years.
George Whitefield died at the age of 56 years. He preached even until the point of his death. After preaching to a great congregation in Newburyport, Massachusetts, many of them followed him back to his lodgings, urging him to preach to them again. After preaching again till nighttime, he finally left them and went upstairs. He died that night. He was buried beneath the pulpit of the Presbyterian Church in Newburyport, Massachusetts, where he had preached his last sermon.

The lesson we can learn from George Whitefield’s life is to constantly give our all to The Lord

In Ephesians 1:21 Paul said ‘For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain’

Paul’s central passion in life was that Christ will be honored and magnified. For him, to live is to show that Christ is magnificent. And this should be our central theme too. We must be on fire and burning for the world to see. It is the blazing fire of The Holy Ghost in us that can overcome the darkness of this end-time. Lukewarm Christianity will not do, we need to be as burning lights. Our lights must be burning and our lions girded about. Lev 6:13 says the fire shall ever be burning upon the altar, it shall never go out.

We are required to be spiritually on fire at all times. We must keep our lights constantly burning for the world to see. It is this burning light of the Gospel that will lead men out of the dark regions of sin and bondage to seek the true light of Christ.

Moderate Christianity will produce moderate results, and extreme Christianity will produce extreme results. God must be Lord of all or not Lord at all. Seeking God first has to be the priority. The place of God in our heart determines our placing upon the earth.
You cannot make God first, and become the last. When we are dedicated to doing His will, surely He will open doors of miracles, blessings and abundance to us

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to make You priority in everything, as I travel in this journey of life. Please keep my heart always panting after You and the affairs of Your Kingdom in Jesus Name.

Isaiah 65:24 ‘Before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.’

DAILY READING; John 5:1-18; 1 Chronicles 18-19; Zechariah7

Bob Gass, international minister and author of ‘The Word For You Today’ shared a remarkable testimony on January 13, 2017. He told the story of Wilda Lahmann, who experienced an amazing timely divine intervention.
Wilda’s husband, Randy Lahmann had woken up in the small hours of the morning suffering a massive heart attack.
There wasn’t time to wait for an ambulance, so Wilda got him into the car and drove franticly to the hospital.
But with the hospital about fifteen miles away, and Randy’s condition getting worse, Wilda realized he would probably die before they got there.
In desperation, she prayed and cried out to God for help.
Moments later, she saw what looked like an ambulance parked by the roadside. She wondered if her eyes were playing tricks on her. But it was indeed an ambulance with a paramedic standing beside it.
As she slammed on the brakes and screamed for help, the paramedics immediately responded. They ran to Randy and started emergency treatment. Thereafter, he was rushed to the hospital where for the next three days he was in a very serious condition. When he eventually recovered, Wilda was very grateful for the amazing timely arrival of the paramedics which had saved Randy’s life. However, she was amazed to find out that the paramedics had been there due to a mix up of location. They had responded to a call that there was an accident at the road intersection, but when they got there and found no accident, they had parked by the roadside to get clarification from their headquarters. Then seconds later, Wilda drove along with Randy in a critical condition.
However, Wilda knew that the paramedics had not been there by accident or due to an address mix-up, but rather God had arranged for them to be there ahead of time, to save Randy’s life.

It is good to know that God says, ‘Before they call I will answer, and while they are yet speaking I will hear.’
In Genesis 37, when the brothers of Joseph threw him into a deep pit and were contemplating killing him, a caravan of Ishmaelite merchants came along in the nick of time. Joseph’s life was spared when his brothers saw the merchants and decided to sell him off rather than to kill him.
But the interesting thing is that long before Joseph was thrown into the pit, the Merchants’ caravan had been on their way coming, traveling towards Egypt.
Long before Joseph had the problem, God had already activated the solution . When it looked like the end of the road to Joseph, God had already set in motion the plan to take him from the pit to the palace.
The truth is that the things you may be worried about today, God already has them sorted out.
When we are in a covenant relationship with God, we can be sure He will always go ahead of us to make the crooked places straight.
Even before trouble comes, He has already organized a rescue and orchestrated things to work for our good.
Therefore each time the enemy tries to get you into a fix, always remember that you serve the God who is always on duty, He never sleeps nor slumbers and nothing takes Him by surprise. He has your life in perfect control.
However, it is only through the eyes of faith that we can see God at work even in the midst of the storm.
This is why it is important to ensure that we are always filled with faith through diligent study of the Word, because victory in battle belongs to those who know their God.
God says in Psalm 91:14 -15 “Because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.”

When we love God and truly serve Him, there is no mountain that He cannot move for us and no door He cannot open for us. Instead of fretting over negative situations, let us switch to prayers and rather than worry, let us start to worship.
Certainly, God is watching over us and He is able to abundantly exceed our every expectations.

PRAYER: Thank You Lord for always hearing me when I call and answering me speedily. Please help me to make Your Word top priority in my life, so that I can be filled with the faith to always see You working in my favor in Jesus Name.

Proverbs 11:25-26 ‘The liberal soul shall be made fat: And he that watereth shall be watered also himself. He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: But blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it’.

DAILY READING – John 4:43-54; 1 Chronicles 17; Zechariah 6

Some of the methods hunters use to trap monkeys are based on their knowledge of the monkey’s unwillingness to let go of what is in his hands.
One of these methods is that the hunter brings a vase with a neck just wide enough for a monkey to stick in his open paw.
Some nuts or pieces of fruit are placed inside the vase and left in a part of the forest where monkeys can be found. Then the monkey hunter waits for a hungry monkey to come along.
Soon, a monkey will smell the treat and come looking for it. When he finds the vase with the treats, the monkey reaches inside with his hands and grabs as much as he can, but as he tries to pull out his clenched hand, he finds he cannot.
Though the monkey pulls and pulls, he finds he can’t get his fist clutching the treat through the narrow neck of the vase, unless he opens his hands. Hungry and angry, he continues pulling, and screaming, but refuses to open his hand and let go of the fruits so as to be free. He only holds tighter, pulls harder, and screams louder until the hunter sneaks up to the trap, and throws a net over the monkey, while he is still holding tightly to the treats in his hand.

We can learn a spiritual lesson from this illustration.
Withholding the seeds in your hands and not releasing it when you should, can cause you to become trapped in your situation.
But when you are open-handed, you will enjoy open doors and be released from tight situations.
In our time of need we have to learn to release the seeds in our hands.
The answer to our needs, often come in the form of seeds that we need to sow to reap the harvest we seek.
For instance, we can only gain financial freedom when we agree to let go of the financial seeds in our hands. As long as we remain tightfisted, financial freedom is not in view. But when we give freely, then we receive bountifully. What we sow is given back unto us in good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over.
To experience greater open doors, we must be givers, so that greater blessings can be attracted to us.
We set the blessing of God into motion in our lives when we are liberal and sow at every opportunity.
When we release seeds of kindness, favor and blessing in the lives of others, we reap greater harvests of the same in the future.
We can also reap spiritual harvests of miracles, signs and wonders when we sow spiritual seeds of prayer, praise, study of the Word and kingdom service.
We must realize that everything we are experiencing in our lives today is a direct result of the seeds we sowed in the past. Each day, we are planting seeds that will be reaped in our future. Let us therefore, be deliberate in our liberality, knowing that our seeds are shaping our future.
Instead of hoarding and holding back the good seeds in our hands, let us freely release it to God and humanity, knowing that whatever good seed we sow, we shall surely reap in greater measures.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the grace to continually sow good seeds wherever I go. As I sow freely, thank You for causing me to reap rich harvests of divine opportunities and greater open doors in Jesus Name.

1 Peter 2:24 ‘Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.’

DAILY READING ; •John 4:27-42; 1 Chronicles 16:7-43; Zechariah5

Ethan Otis Allen, has been called the father of divine healing in America. He was one of the first ministers in America to teach and practice divine healing. His healing ministry was born out of his own personal experience of an amazing miracle.
Born in 1813, in his youth Allen became afflicted with a deadly disease known as consumption or pulmonary tuberculosis. It was believed he would eventually die from the incurable affliction, which kept him in a weakened condition.
In 1846 Allen attended a Methodist meeting in a country schoolhouse. At the close of the meeting, he gave his life to Christ and great joy filled his soul.
In the enthusiasm of his new-found joy, he requested for prayer for divine healing.
As the believers gathered together and prayed for him, Ethan Allen was instantly healed.
Allen went on his way rejoicing, amazed at the mighty power of God he had just witnessed in his life.
Soon he began praying for other sick people he came across and saw miracles of divine healing.
Thereafter, he felt the Lord calling him to a greater ministry of healing. Allen took to spending many days in fasting and prayer and soon began to exercise power to cast out the evil spirits behind people’s afflictions.
Due to dedicating his life to service in God’s Kingdom, Allen experienced greater blessings. From a poor farm boy, he rose to prominence as a Gospel minister who made great impact on his generation. And from someone who had been given up to die as a youth, he lived to a ripe old age of 89 years old.

Jesus is committed to our divine healing and deliverance, so that we can become a channel of His blessings to the world. He paid a great price at Calvary to ensure that nothing and no one cuts short our lives prematurely, so that we can live to declare the works of the Lord in the land of the living.
At the Crucifixion Jesus was given 39 lashes on His back. Today, every disease – including those newly and recently discovered, fit into the 39 categories. What this means is that every disease known to man was represented in the 39 stripes that Jesus bore.

Isaiah 53:5 says that we are healed by His Stripes.

Jesus paid such a great price so that our healing and deliverance can be guaranteed always.
And as Jesus makes a difference in our lives, we are also to go forth and make a difference in our world.
As we have been watered, so are we to water others.

1 Peter 4:10-11 says, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms… so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.”

God doesn’t just want to work in you, He wants to work through you to positively affect the lives of people.
Let us therefore by God’s grace, continually seek ways to serve wherever we go. What we make happen for others, surely, God will make happen for us in greater measures. As we help people experience divine blessings and deliverance, surely, God will open greater doors of blessings, opportunities and abundance in our own lives.

PRAYER: Lord, please enable me to focus on serving You in every way I can and be a blessing to humanity. As I do, I thank You for the speedy release of my own harvests of miracles in Jesus’ Name.
