Firm Footing

By
Your Daily Devotional With Femi Monehin 17th October, 2016

click here to listen to the audio devotional: 

“People with integrity have a firm footing, but those who follow crooked paths will slip and fall.”  Proverbs 10:9 [emphasis added]

The first thing you do in dealing with the stress of compromise is, Do the right thing. Doing the easy thing may seem simpler in the short run but on the long run doing the right thing is less stressful. People with integrity have a firm footing, but those who follow crooked paths will slip and fall” [emphasis added]. You have to choose between a firm footing or slipping and falling, what will it be?

This is something you need to wrestle with and settle in your heart. Why? It is because the stress of being found out is enormous in itself. Have you noticed that when you want to do something bad, the enemy would say, nobody will find out after all there is no one else here but you. And have you noticed that as soon as you do it, that same voice changes to, everybody will find out. We will see how you are going to cover this up. Are you not ashamed of yourself? Pastor Ghandi, while ministering in God’s Favourite House said, “How come everybody claims they can hear the devil but these same people cannot hear God?” God does not condemn us. He convicts us. Huge difference!

The pain and the pressure of compromise is enormous and it brings stress. Have you noticed that you are not under pressure to remember what you said when you tell the truth? But if you lie, the pressure to remember “what you said to who” is enormous. Such people consistently delay their answers because they are trying to remember what version of the story they told you. Integrity is the only way to stay on track [firm footing]. The by-product of integrity is confidence and it is evident in the lives of people with integrity. They are not afraid of anyone because they did not steal from anyone. They are not afraid to answer questions or repeat something they said earlier because they did not lie in the first place.

When I resigned from the church I used to pastor before God led us to start God’s Favourite House, they sent people to audit the church but I was out of the country at the time. And the elderly pastor that audited the church was shocked. He said, he had never seen a pastor that would allow his church to be audited when he is not standing over the shoulders of the auditors. The only reason I was able to do that is because I had nothing to hide.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to be a person of integrity, 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. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.  32.For it came to pass, that, whe...

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. ...
