From Faith To Faith Daily Devotional 9th October, 2016 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.  (1 Corinthians 1:9) Do you know what God wants you to do more than anything else today? He wants you to fellowship with Him. He wants you to walk with Him and talk with Him. To discuss the things of life with Him. He wants you to draw near to Him and partake of His very nature. So many of us get so caught up in striving to please God in the things we do that we forget our first and highest calling is just to be in fellowship with Him. That's right. God longs for us just to want to be with Him. Have you ever considered how much it would mean for you to just come to God and say, "Father, I didn't really come today to get anything. I've prayed about my needs already and Your Word says they're met according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. So I just came to be with You. If You have anything You

God's Favourite House Dailyt Devotional 9th October, 2016 “...Stupid people spend their money as fast as they get it”  Proverbs 21:20 [GN] Every advert is channeled at impulsive buying. Buy now, think later. Do not get me wrong; this is not a campaign against buying things. Everyone has legitimate needs which should be addressed but do not shop impulsively. I sent some phone credit to my wife as a good husband and she loaded it. Then the network multiplied what she loaded by four. And she was excited about the free talk time. I told her the network’s goal was to lure her. She did not agree with me because she thought the talk time was a lot and so it would last long. Guess what? By the next day, she had finished the talk time plus the extra and she wanted more. But I refused to send more. They know that if they can make you get  used to talking a lot, you would be hooked. My wife said to me that the road to poverty is lined with discounts. You will find yourself buying t

God's Favourite House Daily Devotional 8th October, 2016 “Riches can disappear fast... so watch your business interests closely. Know the state of your flocks and herds.”  Proverbs 27:23-24 [LB, emphasis added]. I made up my mind a long time ago that if I do not have something, I do not need it! You might consider that a little hard but the truth with finances is that if you are not a little hard, you are going to go way down the drain. You need to draw the line at some point. I used to do a lot of marriage counseling and I discovered that in a lot of marriages, one party is kept in the dark in one of these four facts - What we Own...Owe...Earn...& Where it goes. Maybe one party does not know how much we own, or how much we owe, or how much we earn, or where it’s all going. Whenever one party does not know at least one of these four things, you are heading for disaster. Except you have both agreed that how much you earn is not your business. That is a different t

Our Daily Bread Devotional 9th October, 2016 Read: Mark 3:13-19 Bible in a Year: Isaiah 32-33; Colossians 1 He appointed twelve that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach. (Mark 3:14) When we come across a list of names in the Bible, we might be tempted to skip over it. But we can find treasures there, such as in the list of the twelve apostles whom Jesus called to serve in His name. Many are familiar—Simon whom Jesus called Peter, the rock. Brothers James and John, fishermen. Judas Iscariot, the betrayer. But we could easily overlook that Matthew the tax collector and Simon the Zealot must once have been enemies. Matthew collected taxes for Rome, and therefore, in the eyes of his fellow Jews, collaborated with the enemy. Tax collectors were despised for their corrupt practices and for requiring the Jewish people to give money to an authority other than God. On the other hand, before Jesus’s call, Simon the Zealot was devoted to a group of Jewish
