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!

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 ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

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...

Nothing To Do, Only Believe By Joseph Prince

Daily Grace Inspirations Thursday 11th August 2016 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” - John 6:28–29 When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very different! In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all ...
