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!

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...

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 ...

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...
