Value Treatment

Fresh Fire Devotional Wednesday 3rd July 2016

“The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”
- Mark 12:31

This is how I live my life and this is how I suggest you live your life. Treat everyone below you exactly how you would want them to treat you if you were below them. Who is below you today? Domestic staff? Treat your house help, your cook, your gateman the same way you want him or her to treat you if you were working for them. It will change your life. I know some people will struggle with this because they cannot imagine being the house help or gate man or cook. I know what I am asking you to do is a hard thing but it is the way to your freedom. Your driver, treat him how you would want him to treat you if you were his driver. In Jesus Name you will not move backwards, you will only move forward.

Guess what? Your driver can become the president tomorrow because God is a Master of taking people from the dunghill and setting them among princes. What if he becomes the president tomorrow? So what if you are the boss now? Treat your staff as you would want them to treat you if the roles were reversed. Let this be foremost in your mind every time you relate with people. I know you really want to slap her but before you do ask yourself, if I did this would I want her to slap me? Love your neighbor as yourself…

#3. Focus on Contribution. To unlock concerted action, you must focus on contribution and not on collection. Contribution makes you valuable and people treasure what they consider valuable. If you have two friends, one is always calling to ask for money and the only time you hear from the other friend is when he credits your account. Then you have two incoming calls on your dual SIM phone from both of them. Which call will you pick? Everyone appreciates people that go the extra mile. So give!

Every time I experience a loss [sometimes it happens], maybe someone steals my phone. I always ask myself two questions; first question, do I have an issue with my tithing? Why? Because God says when I tithe, He will rebuke the devourers for my sake. By God’s grace, that usually is not the problem. Second question, am I holding on to something I should have kept where thieves cannot reach? Because God says when you give, you store up treasures in heaven.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I ask for the grace to respond in love and not react harshly; the grace to be a giver and not a taker, in Jesus Name.

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: 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...

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 ...
