Jerry Savelle Ministries Devotional Tuesday 15th August 2016 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform  -  Romans 4:20-21 NKJV The scripture verse above speaks of Abraham, who after many years had not yet received what God had promised to him. Despite the apparent lack of manifestation, he still believed God’s goodness was ahead of him. Perhaps you are waiting to see God’s promised goodness in your life. I can tell you that God has for you is not behind you or off to the side somewhere, waiting for you to chase it down; it is ahead of you! The Israelites were deceived into thinking their goodness was behind them in Egypt. They delayed receiving God’s promise because they kept looking behind instead of pressing forward on the path of obedience and trust. Then, when they tired of waiting for Moses to return from th...

Open Heavens Daily Devotional Tuesday 15th august 2016 Memorise: Who are thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone therefore with shoutings, crying, Grace, unto it.  - Zechariah 4:7 Read: Zechariah 4:7-11, KJV 7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. 8 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you. 10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of  Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth. 11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees ...

Our Daily Bread Devotional Monday 15th August 2016 A good name is more desirable than great riches.  - Proverbs 22:1 While staying in a hotel in a small town I noticed that the church across the street was having a service. People were jammed into the church with a standing-room-only crowd of both young and old flowing out onto the sidewalk. When I noticed a hearse by the curb, I realized it was a funeral. And given the crowd, I assumed that it was the celebration of the life of some local hero—perhaps a wealthy businessperson or a famous personality. Curious, I said to the desk clerk, “That’s an amazing turnout for a funeral; it must be for a famous person in town.” “No,” he replied. “He wasn’t rich or famous but he was a good man.” This reminded me of the wisdom of the proverb that says, “A good name is more desirable than great riches” (Prov. 22:1). It’s a good idea to think about what kind of legacy we are leaving for our family, friends, and neighbors. From God’s pers...

Fresh Fire Daily Devotional Tuesday 15th August 2016 “Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man’s sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.”  - John 11:39 Lazarus was not only sick, he died. He did not only die, he was buried and he had started decaying. In other words, bacteria and fungi had begun to feast on him, releasing  ammonia or whatever waste product they release that causes the stench of a dead body. By now the irreversible appears to have happened. By now Jesus, it is impossible for You to do anything. Because Lazarus came back to life, everything that represents Lazarus in your life will come back to life. Because Jesus is alive, it will come back to life. I beseech you [using Paul’s terminology], do not take this season lightly. “Then Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!” John 11:43. It is crucial to understand that Jesus shouted Lazarus come forth and the dead obeyed Him. Imagine what it to...
