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.

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 ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

By
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Luke 1:13 The Bible is replete of records on how God announced some events before they finally happened. Because you made it into the new Month, God will specially announce you in Jesus name.  Whenever God want to do something unusual, He first of all announce it, for instance, when He wanted to delivered the children of Israelite from the hand of the philistine whom He has delivered them to, He sent an angel to break the new to the parent of the deliverer - Samson. Judges 13.  When God wanted to turn the hearts of men back to Himself, He sent angel Gabriel to announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father, Zacharias. Also when God was fully ready for the redemption of man, He first announced it to the one whose body His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ will pass through to the earth. Luke 1:26-38. That was the...

Nothing To Do, Only Believe By Joseph Prince

By
Daily Grace Inspirations Thursday 11th August 2016 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” - John 6:28–29 When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very different! In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all ...
