Principle Of Honor By Femi Monehin


Fresh Fire Daily Devotional Saturday 13th August 2016

“You must present one-tenth of the tithe received from the Israelites as a sacred offering to the Lord. This is the Lord’s sacred portion, and you must present it to Aaron the priest”
- Num.18:28

At one of our vigils, worship was really intense and beautiful, and I felt the Lord say that people owe Him tithe and He wanted to forgive them. I have never heard that before. We were taught that if you owe God tithe, you will pay back with twenty-five percent interest. Have you heard that before? But the Holy Spirit said He wants to wipe it off. Holy Spirit can mess up your theology. He is God and He reserves the right to do as He pleases.

Just like the Saturday Worship Experiences in God’s Favourite House. Take note that I am sharing a past experience; I am not giving a call for ‘tithe pardon’ because that is not what He is saying. So I gave the call and folks came forward. One man in particular, his business had been at rock bottom consistently. So we prayed and they left. God being God, that man’s business began to flourish and multiply. Amazing! I had never seen or heard of it before.

Then one day I was at a secluded place, just alone with God, on my face praying. And God showed me this man’s picture and immediately I knew he was defaulting in his tithe. The first thought that came to me was impossible! In all my years of Pastoring, I hardly ever talk to anybody about tithe. I just do not do it. If you like, tithe; if you like do not tithe. When you see the devourer, you will know what to do.

So I called the man and asked him what was going on with his tithe. And he began to tell me stories. Why have you forgotten where God took you from? He said he would have to carry the tithe in two ‘Ghana must go bags’, to show you how much God had blessed him, and he did not want to do that. At that time, P.O.S. machines were not yet available. So I said to him, write a cheque and he said, cheques have people’s names on it and he did not want anyone to know... So it is better not to pay your tithe? And I left him alone. I need not tell you what happened next. Is it necessary for people to rub their noses in the dust before they do what they know they should do? Just do the principles that you know, you will go from death to life, [say Amen].

Prayer: Lord, by Your grace, I will honor the Lord Almighty with His sacred portion [tithe] from every harvest, in Jesus Name.

Dominion Mandate Daily Devotional Thursday,March 3

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...

A Partaker Of Other People's Sins? - Pastor E.A Adeboye

Open Heavens Daily Devotional Friday July 15th 2016 Memory Verse: Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure. - 1 Timothy 5:22 Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 18:28-34 28. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.  29. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.  30. Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.  31. And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.  32.For it came to pass, that, whe...

We Fail To Achieve Greatness Because We Fear Success By John Hagee

John Hagee Daily Devotional Thursday 11th August 2016  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  - One reason we do not reach excellence is because of our fear of failure.  Failure is a better teacher than success.  Every great success story has its element of failure.  You have not failed until you quit; only then have you failed.  After Thomas Edison finished his 700th experiment trying to develop the electric light his assistant said, “We have failed.”  Edison replied, “No.   We have found 700 ways that will not work.  Do not call these 700 experiments mistakes; call them our education.  Now let’s keep going until we find the answer.”  Are you afraid of failure?  Then you’ll never succeed.  You’ll never stub your toe standing still.  Remember the turtle, he never gets anywhere until he sticks his neck out.  You can’t succeed if you’re not willing to risk failure. Have you failed? Get up. ...
