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.

His Channels

By
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...

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 ...

God Will Turn Your Life Around By Jerry Savelle

By
Jerry Savelle Ministries Daily Devotional Friday 12th August 2016 And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them  - Deuteronomy 28:13 NKJV Many people suffer from feelings of rejection. All their lives they’ve been told things that have kept them down and held them back. Perhaps you are one of these people. Maybe you were told you’d never amount to anything. You may have been born into poverty and told you would always be poor. Or you may have been ridiculed and told that no one would ever love you. Although circumstances may make these statements appear to be factual, they are not the truth. If you go to the Bible, you’ll find out that God’s plans for you are always good. In fact, if you will put God at the center of your life, He will turn things around for you. If you allow it, God will take you from being b...
