THE TURNING POINT 1 for Sunday May 17th 2015

Topic: THE TURNING POINT 1

Memorise: And Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. Exodus 3:3

Read: Exodus 3:1-6, Bible in one year: 1^st Samuel 29:31, Mark 10:1-31

A turning point is a defining moment; it is a moment of decision that either makes or mars the life of a person. In life’s journey, there are always crossroads where you have to decide whether to go to the right or to the left. At such moments, if you make the right call, glory to God, but if you make the wrong decision, may God have mercy on you. The Bible contains several examples of people who took either positive or negative turns while at crossroads. Moses is one of such persons. In today’s Bible reading, Moses made a turn that sealed not only his destiny but also that of the Jews for

CHILD OF DESTINY for Saturday May 16th 2015

Topic: CHILD OF DESTINY

Memorise: Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nation. Jeremiah 1:5

Read: Exodus 1:15-17, Bible in one year: 1^st Samuel 26-28, Mark 9:30-50

A child who fulfil destiny can never be destroyed by the enemy. The fact that you alive today is a pointer to the fact that you have a destiny to fulfil, and this destiny is a good one (Jeremiah 29:11). By Pharaoh’s calculations, Moses was born to die. He

UNCIRCUMCISED IN HEART? for Friday May 15th 2015

Topic:UNCIRCUMCISED IN HEART? 

Memorise: Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. Acts 7:51

Read: Romans 6:1-10, Bible in one year: 1^st Samuel 24-25, Mark 9:2-29

In his sermon just before he was killed, Stephen spoke to a Jewish audience made up of people who were circumcised in the flesh as required by God’s covenant with Abraham (Genesis 17:10). However, Stephen revealed to them that there exists a circumcision beyond that of the flesh: the circumcision of heart and ears (Acts 7:51). This circumcision is spiritual. He

YOU NEED THE DIVINE TOUCH for Thursday May 14th 2015

Topic: YOU NEED THE DIVINE TOUCH 

Memorise: For she said within herself, if I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. Matthew 9:21

Read: Matthew 9:20-22, Bible in one year: 1^st Samuel 21:10-23:29, Mark 8:22-9:1

The entrance of sin into this world destroyed so many things about humility. It provoked God to pronounce a curse on the ground and banish mankind to a life of sorrow and pain in Genesis 3:16-17:

“Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt being forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam he said, because thou hast hearkened unto the voice

YOU CAN BE REPLACED! on Wednesday May 13th 2015

Topic: YOU CAN BE REPLACED! 

Memorise: Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Revelation 3:11

Read: Esther 7:9-8:2, Bible in one year: 1^st Samuel 20:1-21:9, Mark 8:1-21

It is great folly to contend with God. This is why I pity those societies that have become anti-God and are challenging His commandments. God spoke about such people in Isaiah 45:9, saying:

“Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioned it, What makest  thou? Or thy work, He hath on hands?

DIVINE INVOLVEMENT COMPARED for Tuesday May 12th 2015

Topic:DIVINE INVOLVEMENT COMPARED 

Memorise: And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit with is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone. Numbers 11:17

Read: Exodus 2:13-15, Exodus 3:7-8, Bible in one year: 1^st Samuel 17:55-19:24, Mark 7:14-37

When God is involved in your matter, you can go to bed and sleep with your two eyes closed; the simple reason being that He can handle any situation better than you. When Moses attempted to deliver the Israelites by his own might, he ended up fleeing and leaving a mess behind, but when the Almighty God Himself got involved in the project of delivering His people, Egypt was never the same again. I prophesy to someone using this devotional that the Almighty God will get involved in your situation today in Jesus’ Name. At the end of God’s intervention in Egypt, the Bible records this in Exodus 12:30-31:

PRESS INTO YOUR DAY OF FAVOUR on Monday May 11th 2015

Topic: PRESS INTO YOUR DAY OF FAVOUR 

Memorise: For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. Psalm 5:12

Read: Esther 5:1-3, Bible in one year: 1^st Samuel 17:1-54, Mark 6:53-7:13

Queen Esther is one person who pressed into her day of favour. Her experience should serve as a template for us all. She obtained favour in the sight of the king because it was the day of her favour. Be aware that the law of the land during this period was that nobody could go into the king’s inner court uninvited. Disobeying this law was equivalent to a suicide mission. But Esther went to the king in his inner court uninvited, and she lived because of favour.
