Clean Up The Stigma



“He who lives right, has more power in his silence than another has by his words”

Anchor Text: “I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold on me” John 14:30.

Just a little sin is what satan is waiting for to accuse you before your maker. A former British Royal Air Force employee returned a book to the Malta Public Library 42 years after he borrowed it and he was rewarded with a wristwatch. Emie Rosconet, a resident of the Channel Islands, packed the book when he left Malta in June 1962, and returned it when his wife gave him a holiday to Malta as his 60th birthday present. He said: ‘my conscience pricked me all the time and I decided to restitute’. He was actually expecting to be fired, but instead he was celebrated and given a beautiful wristwatch to encourage others to bring back overdue books.

It was difficult for Satan to accuse Job before God because Satan found nothing to hold against him. Concerning Job, God said: ‘…have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man…’(Job 1:18). Can God say this about you? By the time the prince of this world comes around to censor every aspect of your life, will he not find a stigma? Harbouring any of satan’s properties in your house or mind will slow down your progress, rob you of good conscience, and double your sorrow.

His Channels

Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis]. So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through. Channel #4: God speaks to us through His Creation. Ps.19:1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world [with emphasis]. God’s cre...

Dominion Mandate Daily Devotional February 26, 2016

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 ...

Setting Prisoners Free

Our Daily Bread Devotional 4th October, 2016 Read: Psalm 146 Bible in a Year: Isaiah 20-22; Ephesians 6 The Lord sets prisoners free. (Psalm 146:7) When my wife and I visited the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force near Savannah, Georgia, we were especially moved by the prisoner-of-war exhibit, with its re-creation of a German prisoner-of-war camp’s barracks. Marlene’s dad, Jim, served in the Eighth Air Force, the “Mighty Eighth,” as they flew missions over Europe during World War II. During the war, the Eighth Air Force suffered over 47,000 injuries and more than 26,000 deaths. Jim was one of those shot down and held as a prisoner of war. As we walked through the exhibit, we recalled Jim telling about the absolute joy he and his fellow prisoners felt the day they were set free. God’s care for the oppressed and liberation of the imprisoned are declared in Psalm 146. The psalmist describes the one who “upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the ...
