A Test

By
God's Favourite House Daily Devotional 3rd October, 2016

 “And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven?” (Luke 16:11)

Did you know that God, the God of heaven, uses money to test your spiritual maturity? God says money is a test of true riches. So how much do you think has passed through your hands till date? If you sum up all the money that has passed through your hands till now, how much will it be? It is a test. Heaven was testing you to see what you will do with it.  After every test comes a promotion, or a demotion, or a carry over, or sometimes a “stay where you are”. I pray that everyone that has experienced a “stay where you are” or a demotion; beginning from today you will begin to experience a promotion.

The fact that you have made a lot of money is not a guarantee for financial freedom. Think about how much has passed through your hands; it is not a guarantee for financial freedom. If making a lot of money were a guarantee for financial freedom, people that have touched some cool cash would not be broke today. Someone said, when I started working I used to dream about this salary I am now starving on”.

The people earning say, fifty thousand a month are saying if only I can earn two hundred thousand a month, I will have financial freedom. Meanwhile, the people earning five hundred thousand a month are saying do you think two hundred thousand is a lot? You ignore them because you believe that once God blesses you with that increase, you will have financial freedom. Then you get two hundred thousand a month and you have nothing to show for it? I hope you can relate to this because it is a pattern of life. So making a lot of money does not guarantee your financial freedom.

So what guarantees  financial freedom is what you are going to be learning over the next few days. We learnt from David how to think clearly about our problems. However, when it comes to finances we are going to learn from his son Solomon, how to think clearly about money and how to walk in financial freedom. Am I financially free? The answer is yes, by the grace of God. But guess what? It is not how much but it is how well. What I will be to sharing with you is what I do, it is what has helped me, and it is what has changed my life.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to think clearly about my finances and to be found trustworthy with financial resources, 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...

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...
