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!

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 ...

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...
