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: 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?

By
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 ...
