THEME: PASS IDEAS THROUGH WORD TEST
Psalms 119:97-105

If a man is walking in error, he is walking in darkness; if the man is walking in ignorance, he is walking in darkness. Wherever light is absent, darkness dominates. The worst thing that can happen to you is for your life to be governed by darkness.
The kingdom of God is the kingdom of light. Your privileged relationship with God positions you to receive instructions on how to do things and succeed; what to invest in and what not to be entangled with; who to do business with and who not to be involved with. Even when you have made mistakes or have been knocked down, God shows you how to remedy the situation and how to get back on your feet.

The kingdom of Satan is the kingdom of darkness. He equips people with “negative wisdom” on how to steal, kill and destroy. Imagine how much “wisdom” goes into a bank robbery. This type of wisdom that leads people to break God’s laws and trample on other people’s rights is not light but pitch darkness. It only accelerates the speed with which the culprit is heading to destruction; and possibly, extinction.

Whenever an idea drops into your heart, pause and check whether the idea is from the kingdom of light – the kingdom of God – or the kingdom of darkness. One quick way to carry out this check is to evaluate the idea in the light of God’s word. God will never tell you to do something that is contrary to His word. If you fail to carry out this check, you may end up embracing ideas and projects that are not from God which only lead to avoidable regrets and losses.

Pray that your motivation for doing things shall not be pride, lust or greed.
Activate and utilise the gift of discerning of spirits.

CONFESSION: I must be sober and alert; even by scrutinising all ideas and revelations in the light of God’s word.

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Luke 1:13 The Bible is replete of records on how God announced some events before they finally happened. Because you made it into the new Month, God will specially announce you in Jesus name.  Whenever God want to do something unusual, He first of all announce it, for instance, when He wanted to delivered the children of Israelite from the hand of the philistine whom He has delivered them to, He sent an angel to break the new to the parent of the deliverer - Samson. Judges 13.  When God wanted to turn the hearts of men back to Himself, He sent angel Gabriel to announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father, Zacharias. Also when God was fully ready for the redemption of man, He first announced it to the one whose body His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ will pass through to the earth. Luke 1:26-38. That was the...

Nothing To Do, Only Believe By Joseph Prince

Daily Grace Inspirations Thursday 11th August 2016 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” - John 6:28–29 When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very different! In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all ...
