Fresh Fire Daily devotional Sunday 8th August 2016

 “How could one person chase a thousand of them, and two people put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?” 
- Deu.32:30

When God gives you an instruction to give something and you hold on to it, that thing is marked for consumption. For instance, God says give your pen to that lady. If you obey and give her the pen, it gets credited to your account in heaven where thieves cannot reach it.  However, if you hold on to the pen you are holding on to something that does not belong to you. You are holding on to something heaven has labeled “for takes”. I know this may sound rather harsh but it is the truth of God’s Word.

So you are better off giving what God has asked you to give. And guess what, you get account credit in heaven and God also blesses you for it. Giving is just the way to go. Make a list of all the important people in your life and determine by yourself what it will take for them to be happy in their relationship with you. Take this assignment very seriously. Whatever will make them happy, that thing is your contribution. Go ahead and make the contribution.

Who are the most important people in my life? Your spouse – what will it take for your spouse to be happy in his or her relationship with you? That is your contribution; make that contribution. What will it take for your children to be delighted in their relationship with you? Note that that is your contribution, so start making it. What will it take for your boss to be excited every time you step into the office? What it will take, is your contribution; do it! Do these things and you will see how people will turn in your favour. You cannot continue to behave like a vagabond and expect that your prayer for favour will amount to anything.

#4. None of Us Is Stronger Than All of Us. To unlock concerted action, realize that none of us is stronger than all of us. None of us is more anointed than all of us. Even if you are so anointed, by the time another person adds their “small” anointing to yours, it will still be more than your big anointing. Let us say you have thirty billion dollars in your account and somebody else has a hundred dollars in their account. By the time you come together, you will still have more than you had initially.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, please give me a burden for my contributions and let me not rest until I have made them and honored God, in Jesus Name

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...

Marriage Booster: Do You Still Love Her/Him ?

By
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ephesians 5:25 KJV "This is what I love about you" In the beginning you love everything about him. You are captivated by his six pack, his spirit of adventure, and his lion’s heart. In the beginning you love everything about her. You go crazy with the swing of her hips, a wink or a chewy chocolate cake baked especially for you. One day you wake up. Daily routine has shattered your rose-tinted glasses. “His six pack is not so hot anymore, instead his joints creak with every move.” Or: “It would be better if she swung her hips into a gym one of these days.” You realize: “My partner has changed.” Fortunately! He isn’t standing still. The problem is not the change but rather, that you are a creature of habit. It is your task to rediscover your partner and to simultaneously not forget why you went up the aisle with sparkling eyes to marry your bride/groom. MARRIAGE BOOSTER Write d...

Called to Be Peculiar

By
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (John 17:15-16) Being peculiar. That's not something most of us work to achieve, is it? But, you know, we should. God has called us to be peculiar—to stand out from the rest of the world as living proof of His power and His love (1 Peter 2:9). He doesn't, for example, want us to share the ailments of the world. He doesn't want us to share their sickness and poverty and failure. He's never wanted that for His people. He gave us a physical illustration of that during the time the nation of Israel was held captive in Egypt. Pharaoh had refused to set the Israelites free, so God had allowed a thick darkness to cover the whole land. The darkness was so dreadful throughout Egypt that no one moved for three days. "But," says Exodus 10:23, "all the children of Israel had light in their ...
