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.

Dominion Mandate Daily Devotional Thursday,March 3

By
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...

By
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.

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

By
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. ...
