Key Thoughts II - God's Favourite House

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.

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...

Block All The Leakages

By
“In order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes” 2 Corinthians 2:11. It is difficult to gather up resources for any productive use, or to assume control of one’s finances if leakages are not identified and blocked. Leakages are channels through which resources or money is been drained, either knowingly or unknowingly. They are instruments employed by the devil to wreck one’s destiny and finances. Thus, whatever drains your resources is never from God (John 10:10). Leakages have both spiritual and physical dimensions. One can experience leakage if one is under a curse-not giving God His dues in the form of tithe; if you have flair for life’s frivolities; if you commit sin; if you constantly experience physical or spiritual robberies; if you are involved in gambling; when there is an illegal access to your secrets or bank accounts; and when you are perpetually under demonic attack of sickness; when you invest heavily in a business you do not know an...
