God's Favourite House Daily Devotional {29th June, 2016}

“Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything” 

- Prov.11:24

As long as you are on earth, you are going to be dealing with people. People are capable of giving you the greatest joy in life. People are capable of causing you the greatest pain in life. It is people that are going to open the door to your next level or stand in the door way and try to frustrate your life. Everyone you are in a relationship with, you are dealing with [your boss, spouse, child, friend, customer…] naturally prefers more to less, sooner rather than later, easier to difficult, certainty to uncertainty. If you understand that, you will be a master of leading and dealing with people.

What does your spouse want? He or she prefers it more than less. He or she prefers it sooner than later. He or she wants it easier than when you make life more difficult for him or before he or she gets it. And he or she wants it certainly rather than being uncertain. Think about it. And God wants you and I  to use this to our understanding and relationship with people. I know the economists will tell us there are other building blocks but for the layman, these are the basics. But unfortunately this natural economic affinity of human beings creates what we call destiny destroyers. Preferring more over less creates greed. Greed is a destiny destroyer. Choosing sooner rather than later [rather than delayed gratification] creates impatience. Impatience is a destiny destroyer. Wanting things to be easier rather than difficult creates laziness. Laziness is a destiny destroyer. Preferring certainty over uncertainty feeds risks aversion. It cripples our abilities to take risks and that is a destiny destroyer.

The fulfillment of every destiny will require you to take several steps of faith. So for you to have victory and fulfill your destiny, you need to turn these destiny destroyers into destiny accelerators. So replace greed with generosity. Generosity in place of greed accelerates destines. “One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty” Pr.11:24 [NIV]. There is an undue way of withholding that becomes poverty. Greed will decelerate your destiny. Generosity will accelerate your destiny.

Prayer: Father, help me freely give as I have freely received, in Jesus Name.

Marriage Booster: Do You Still Love Her/Him ?

By
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ephesians 5:25 KJV "This is what I love about you" In the beginning you love everything about him. You are captivated by his six pack, his spirit of adventure, and his lion’s heart. In the beginning you love everything about her. You go crazy with the swing of her hips, a wink or a chewy chocolate cake baked especially for you. One day you wake up. Daily routine has shattered your rose-tinted glasses. “His six pack is not so hot anymore, instead his joints creak with every move.” Or: “It would be better if she swung her hips into a gym one of these days.” You realize: “My partner has changed.” Fortunately! He isn’t standing still. The problem is not the change but rather, that you are a creature of habit. It is your task to rediscover your partner and to simultaneously not forget why you went up the aisle with sparkling eyes to marry your bride/groom. MARRIAGE BOOSTER Write d...

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 ...

Can you ruin your destiny?

By
God had something in mind when He created you, right? But what if you’ve screwed up? Dropped out? Quit before it was over? Maybe you decided to do your own thing, it didn’t work out, and now you’re just sucking air and hoping there’s still hope. Guess what? There is! For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn. (Romans 11:29 NLT) You don’t even have to start over. Every single thing you failed at? God will use it. (Romans 8:28) Every shot you called that was way off? God will repurpose it. (Proverbs 19:21) Every weakness you thought you had to hide? God’s power will show through it. (2 Corinthians 12:9) God created you for good works. As soon as you quit the past and sell out for Jesus, those works will happen. (Ephesians 2:10) He’s establishing you, step by step. (Proverbs 16:9) God’s a good Father. He knows how to bring you back and take you further than you ever imagined. (Ephesians 3:20) Spend some time really reflecting on these truths. What do you secretly hope is p...
