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.

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: 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 ...

Setting Prisoners Free

By
Our Daily Bread Devotional 4th October, 2016 Read: Psalm 146 Bible in a Year: Isaiah 20-22; Ephesians 6 The Lord sets prisoners free. (Psalm 146:7) When my wife and I visited the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force near Savannah, Georgia, we were especially moved by the prisoner-of-war exhibit, with its re-creation of a German prisoner-of-war camp’s barracks. Marlene’s dad, Jim, served in the Eighth Air Force, the “Mighty Eighth,” as they flew missions over Europe during World War II. During the war, the Eighth Air Force suffered over 47,000 injuries and more than 26,000 deaths. Jim was one of those shot down and held as a prisoner of war. As we walked through the exhibit, we recalled Jim telling about the absolute joy he and his fellow prisoners felt the day they were set free. God’s care for the oppressed and liberation of the imprisoned are declared in Psalm 146. The psalmist describes the one who “upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the ...
