To Yourself -- Pastor Femi Monehin

God's Favourite House Daily Devotional ( Saturday 9th July, 2016)

“Then Delilah pouted, “How can you tell me, ‘I love you,’ when you don’t share your secrets with me? You’ve made fun of me three times now, and you still haven’t told me what makes you so strong!”

-- Judges 16:15

You need to realize that what makes you who God has made you to be is that your special source. Everybody has it. But sadly, some people’s own is everywhere because they have spoken about it to everyone. Keep it to yourself. Samson was a strong man. He had a secret but he had a girl in his life - Delilah, who consistently asked him to tell her his secret.

In my opinion, Samson was a very foolish boy. You are dating a girl and she says tell me your secret so I can kill you. You gave her false information and she actually plotted to kill you. But because of that secret you did not show her, you were able to overpower all the enemies. And you are still dating her? When she tried again, you told her something else. And the third time she became angry and gave you an attitude ‘How can you say you love me when you have not told me how to kill you’ [paraphrased]. Does that make sense? But Samson kept playing with fire. Stop playing with fire! Samson kept playing with fire until, the Bible says, Delilah vexed him. For every Samson there is an ordained Delilah. I feel this message is for someone reading this today. Do not let Delilah terminate your destiny.

I was at the bedside of someone very dear to me. And he said to me, “I should have kept my secret, secret”. My heart tore. They got him because he thought everybody around him loved him. And he opened his treasury to everybody and they used his secrets against him. Human beings are wicked. Look, you do not even have a clue. I have made up my mind that before they shoot at me I would have shot them first by God’s grace. Yes! I’m determined to do it. Do not jeopardize your destiny.

The God that we serve is a God of surprises. God always brings up good surprises for his children. “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think” Eph.3:20 [ASV]. Bad surprises for His enemies, “At the very moment they began to sing and give praise, the Lord caused the armies of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir to start fighting among themselves” 2Chro.20:22. God is a Master of surprises.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, place a guard over my mouth so that my life and what You are doing in it and with it, will come as a surprise to many for Your glory, 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...

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 ...

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...
