Persistent Faith By Femi Monehin

Fresh Fire Daily Devotional Friday 12th August 2016

 “I tell you, He will defend and protest and avenge them speedily. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [persistence in] faith on the earth?” 
- Luke 18:8 AMP

Even if you die believing, die believing. Believe God! “Then the Lord said, “Learn a lesson from this unjust judge. Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?” Luke 18:6-8. The problem with us is that we give up so easily in our hearts. Believe me it is a problem. Jesus says, “But how much of that kind of persistent faith will the Son of man find on earth when he returns?” Luke 18:8 [MSG].

I was speaking to my mother in time past and she said something that was very profound. She said, “if it is in your heart, God will put it in your hands!” If it is in your heart to build God’s Kingdom, guess what? God will put it in your hands to do it. That is how it works. The question is, is it in your heart?

To go from desire to results we need strategic action. We have spent several weeks on strategic action in the principles of war. Someone shared this acronym with us for the principles of war so that we can have it at our fingertips so to speak. The acronym is, OOMMISUEESSC, Objective, Offensive, Mass, Maneuver, Intelligence, Security, Unity of Command, Economy, Exploitation, Surprise, Simplicity and Concerted action. So maybe you want to borrow this acronym and you can apply it in different areas of your life.

The problem with some of us is that we do not do what we know. Take our finances for instance, we do things haphazardly. You know you are supposed to give, give! You know you are supposed to tithe, tithe! And sometimes because we do not do what we know, we do not get what we should get. Then we start to trouble heaven. That is why the children of this world are wiser in their own generation than the children of the Kingdom because they will do what they  need to do in their own world but you will not do what you need to do. Stop sleeping, get up and work, get up and pray, give the seed.

Prayer [song] I will wait on You, Almighty God, in the beauty of Your Holiness. And I will worship

You, Almighty God, in the beauty of Your Holiness. Amen!

His Channels

By
Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis]. So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through. Channel #4: God speaks to us through His Creation. Ps.19:1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world [with emphasis]. God’s cre...

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 ...

THEME: MAKE ROOM FOR GOD 2Corinthians 1-9 You should not be among the many that are living without the precious things God promised.The LORD Jesus Christ said in John 16:24" Until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full. In making plans for your life and your future,stop focusing attention on only what you think you can do and what your resources can carry. You will be limiting God by so doing.When you plan for only what you can achieve by your personal efforts,you exclude God's grace and weary yourself with much toiling and energy exertion.Instead,you should make room for God in every plan you make. Plan to grow bigger and better in every unfolding phase of your life. When you plan for bigger things than your known resources can carry,do so with clear understanding that only God will help you to attain your desires.This understanding drives you to your knees.As you consistently pray and hold unto God,miracle are birthed...
