Firm Footing

Your Daily Devotional With Femi Monehin 17th October, 2016

“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.

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 ...
