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.

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...
