Common To Man With Femi Monehin

Fresh Fire Daily Devotional Monday 22nd August 2016

“The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, He will show you a way out so that you can endure” 
- 1 Cor.10:13

We cannot thank God enough for the gift of His Presence. We thank God for the gift of His Word and all that it is doing in our lives. I pray that in your life and your home, God will do things that eyes have not seen, ears have never heard, and that which man has not even imagined and Jesus alone will be glorified. There is a huge emphasis on what God is doing in this season, so I implore you to stay focused and get the best value. I know that God has a lot in store for us, so please stay focused.

Please read Ezekiel 37:1–14. For some of you, the current situation is of someone who rises but is always pulled back down. You are never able to rise and soar. In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, before this season is over, God will totally cut the claws of the crabs. Some days ago we talked about Lazarus’ situation that had deteriorated from sickness, to death, he had begun to rot, to decay and to smell. Then Jesus Christ of Nazareth reversed the situation totally.

In the story of Ezekiel [Eze.37:1–14], we see a similar but even more advanced situation. The Bible describes these bones as completely dry. The picture painted here is of the most impossible situation. Know this, no matter what the situation is, the Power of God is able to reverse the situation. God is saying to us, I am able to move you from Death to Life, and I will.

A lot of people fret when they see storms and problems. But we need not fret any longer because storms are a part of life. In fact, storms are so natural to life that it is either you have just come out of a storm, or you are in the middle of a storm, or a storm is about to hit. But you need to know that the storm is not the problem. Storms happen to everybody, even Jesus the Son of the Living God experienced physical storms. How much more you and I?

So if you are going through a storm, the problem is not the storm. If you are going through adversity, the problem is not the adversity. Stop paying so much attention to your problem. God says, “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man…” [NKJV]. It is common to man; your own is not special, so do not specialize it.

Prayer [song]: I have made You too small in my eyes, O Lord, forgive me. I have believed in a lie that You are unable to help me… Be magnified O Lord… Amen!
