No Stress - Pastor Femi Monehin

Fresh Fire Daily Devotional Tuesday July 12th, 2016

“But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details!  There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:41-42 [emphasis added].

The way the Word of God is, you have to keep hearing it over and over again. The Bible tells us that faith comes by hearing. God’s Word for us all is Victory. I am confident that as you keep hearing this Word and you open your heart to God, God will do what only He can do in your life and in your situation, in Jesus Name. If you are going to have victory, it is up to you. It is not going to be up to the witch in the village, if there is any. It is not going to be up to that wicked relative that does not wish you well. It is not going to be up to that mean parent that has spoken ill of you. It is not going to be up to your cousin who keeps stealing from you. It is going to be up to you. The earlier you brace up and embrace that, the better for you. You are the general of your life. You call the shots, so learn and apply these principles.

“But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details!  There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:41-42 [emphasis added]. One thing. Who exactly was Martha preparing dinner for? Martha was not preparing dinner for herself or for her family. Martha was preparing dinner for Jesus. There were a lot of things involved in preparing dinner for Jesus and Martha was overwhelmed [stressed out]. But Jesus is teaching you and me that the stress of life is not necessary. Jesus is saying only one thing is worth being concerned about. So does that mean you should not be concerned about your health, your finances, your children, or your spouse? Jesus says do not be worried.

Jesus is a master of simplicity. He simplified life to only one thing, just one thing. If you can harness that one thing, all the stress in your life will burst and fizzle away. What I will be sharing with you over the next few days is not just theory. I am telling you what, by the grace of God, is obtainable in my life. It is a constant state of no stress whatsoever. Do I have all the money in the world? Not at all but I have no stress. If I am tired, it is because I have worked hard. I am not stressed or worried about anything. Why? It is because that is the pathway Jesus has shown me. You can live a life without stress. Simplify your life!

Prayer: Holy Spirit, help me focus on the things of God and be at peace in all other areas of my life, in Jesus Name.

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 ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

By
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Luke 1:13 The Bible is replete of records on how God announced some events before they finally happened. Because you made it into the new Month, God will specially announce you in Jesus name.  Whenever God want to do something unusual, He first of all announce it, for instance, when He wanted to delivered the children of Israelite from the hand of the philistine whom He has delivered them to, He sent an angel to break the new to the parent of the deliverer - Samson. Judges 13.  When God wanted to turn the hearts of men back to Himself, He sent angel Gabriel to announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father, Zacharias. Also when God was fully ready for the redemption of man, He first announced it to the one whose body His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ will pass through to the earth. Luke 1:26-38. That was the...

Nothing To Do, Only Believe By Joseph Prince

Daily Grace Inspirations Thursday 11th August 2016 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” - John 6:28–29 When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very different! In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all ...
