Think On These -- Pastor femi Monehin

God's Favourite House dail Devotional (6th July,2016

"And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise"

-- Phil.4:8

Today, we will start off with the story of a man called Tom Monaghan. I pray that the Holy Spirit will open your heart to the importance of speed and give you speed also, in Jesus Name. Tom Monaghan was a pizza delivery boy for an Italian pizza outfit in the U.S. And he observed that whenever he delivered the pizza, his customers were not happy. The customers were always on edge and this affected his tips. Have you noticed that customers do not tip well [or recommend your business] when they are not happy? His observations led him to conclude that it had something to do with the delivery time of the pizza. So he began to question the time spent on the entire pizza production process which in turn affects the delivery time. So he went to the management with his observations and suggestions. But management did not quite see the need for speed. Out of frustration he sold his second hand car and started a pizza business.

And his competitive advantage was speed. He told his customers that if the pizza was not delivered thirty minutes after the order was placed, they’ll get the pizza for free. Guess what happened? The whole town began to order pizza from him and some people were praying that the pizza would not arrive on time. In no time, Domino’s pizza, the pizza outfit he started, took over the pizza industry. And that is the story behind Domino’s pizza. Somebody decided that speed is more important than quality. Remember the caveat is when a man is hungry. If you serve the average man a slice of Domino pizza and a slice of the traditional pizza, he probably cannot taste [or tell] the difference because the hungry man just needs to eat. What do you need to accelerate in your life? What do you need to accelerate in your home? What do you need to accelerate in your office? What do you need to accelerate in your business? Think on these things.

David longed for the water from the well at Bethlehem [2Sam. 23:15-16]. And the three broke through the Philistine’s camp, got the water and broke through on the way back. They would not have been able to accomplish this without speed.

Prayer: Father, let it please You to lay Your valiant right hand on me and give me speed in all my endeavors, 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...

Can you ruin your destiny?

By
God had something in mind when He created you, right? But what if you’ve screwed up? Dropped out? Quit before it was over? Maybe you decided to do your own thing, it didn’t work out, and now you’re just sucking air and hoping there’s still hope. Guess what? There is! For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn. (Romans 11:29 NLT) You don’t even have to start over. Every single thing you failed at? God will use it. (Romans 8:28) Every shot you called that was way off? God will repurpose it. (Proverbs 19:21) Every weakness you thought you had to hide? God’s power will show through it. (2 Corinthians 12:9) God created you for good works. As soon as you quit the past and sell out for Jesus, those works will happen. (Ephesians 2:10) He’s establishing you, step by step. (Proverbs 16:9) God’s a good Father. He knows how to bring you back and take you further than you ever imagined. (Ephesians 3:20) Spend some time really reflecting on these truths. What do you secretly hope is p...
