Topic: Hands Off  II -  God's Favourite House Daily Devotional Thursday 20th July 2016

“And so, brothers, select seven men who are well respected and are full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will give them this responsibility. Then we apostles can spend our time in prayer and teaching the word”
-  Acts 6:3-4

Find the things that ONLY YOU can do, then hands-off everything else! This is what I do. When my colleagues bring an issue to me, I send them back. Go and solve the problem and come to me with options, then we can take it from there. If I keep solving the problem for you, then I am doing your job for you. And I do not want to do that. I want to do what only I can do.

In the early Church, the Apostles got to a point where they had to determine what only they could do and hands off everything else. The church had greatly multiplied and they were responsible for feeding people and taking care of widows and other tasks. And the twelve called a meeting and said; “We apostles should spend our time teaching the word of God, not running a food program” Acts 6:3. They decided to focus on prayer and the ministry of the Word alone and delegated every other thing.

So think about your life, think about your home, think about your relationships, think about your business, and think about your career. What are the things you need to hands off and keep your eyes on? I am an entrepreneur myself; I have had to deal with a lot of Entrepreneurs. And one of the major challenges of Nigerian entrepreneurs is to find people that are faithful, people that you can trust, and people that you can hands off to. It is as if when you hands off, they want to run away with it or they want to destroy it. I know that and it is a challenge. But you have to believe God that your case will be different. I believed God and in my business I have good people. In ministry, I have good people.

When some of my Pastor friends visit, they ask how did you get these good people? I do not know but I believe that they are good people because you will have what you believe. If you believe everybody is a thief, you will keep attracting thieves and they will keep coming after your money. But if you believe that God has people that have good hearts, God will bring people that have good hearts to you. So find the thing that only you can do and hands off everything else.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me believe You for the things I want to see, 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...

Sin Stained...or Blood Washed?

This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  (Hebrews 10:16-17) The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament. But let me tell you something exciting. It's never used in the New Testament. The Greek word used to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross is a different word altogether. It doesn't just mean "to cover"—it means "to remit; to do completely away with something." Do you know what that means? It means there is no longer a sin problem. Jesus solved it! When you made Him your Lord, He didn't just cover your sins, He put you into right-standing with God and re-created you by the Spirit of God a...

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 ...
