God's Favourite House Daily Devotional sunday 31 July 2016

“Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble”
 - Ecc.4:9-10

It is standard practice that when the enemy wants to destroy someone he starts by isolating them. The first time he pulls them out, they do not even notice on time. It is like a bonfire; if you pull a log out from the fire, it will still have fire on it. That log, by itself, will still burn for a while. So you find such people being arrogant and full of themselves because they think they are doing well by themselves. Guess what? Slowly but surely the fire will go off. When the fire goes off, then flies, insects, and all sorts will take residence on that log. I pray that that will not be your story.

There is protection in community and the enemy knows that. So the better you are at getting along with people, the happier and more successful you will become. Rudyard Kipling says, “The strength of the wolf is the pack, and the strength of the pack is the wolf”. I completely agree with this. A pack of wolves is so dangerous; the strength of the pack is the individual wolves and the strength of the individual wolves is in the pack. I am going to teach you how to deploy concerted action in your life and relationships by giving you four keys to unlocking concerted action.

1. Genuine Concern For People. You must have genuine concern for people. Some people think they are smarter than everyone else. So they jumble words together and think they have bamboozled everyone. People may not say anything but they know when you are taking them for a ride. You have to realize that people are not fools. For you to unlock concerted action, you must have genuine concern for people. Do not make the mistake of trying to use people; love people instead.

At God’s Favourite House, we do not use people, we love people and use things. But for some people it is the other way round; they love things and use people. It is a popular saying that people do not care how much you know until they know how much you care. And it applies to all facets; your children do not really care how much you know until they know how much you care about them. You may be the most influential person in the world but your spouse does not care how much you know until he or she knows how much you care. Have genuine concern for people.

His Channels

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...

Dominion Mandate Daily Devotional February 26, 2016

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

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...
