  Daily Hope Devotional Saturday 30th July 2016 By Rick warren “Now glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of - infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes” - Ephesians 3:20 TLB Faith is choosing and believing God’s dream for your life. Nothing starts happening in your life until you start dreaming. God gave you the ability to dream, to create, to imagine. Dreaming is an act of faith. Everything you see on this planet started as a dream. So, how do you get God’s dream for your life? You do three things: First, you dare to ask for it. Ephesians 3:20 says, “Now glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of — infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes” (TLB). If you want God’s blessing on your life this year, you must dare to ask for it. You must say, “God, what’s yo...

Open Heavens Daily Devotional Saturday 30th July 2016 Pastor E.A Adeboye Memorise: And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee. -  Jeremiah 1:19 Read: Jeremiah 1:4-8 Message According to Psalms 115:3, destiny has its origin in the sovereignty of God. It is also the plan that God had for you before creating you. It is what says about your future. In other words, God had a purpose for your life, long before you were born. Joseph was a typical child of destiny. His brothers fought aggressively against his destiny. One good thing about destiny is that, your destiny, being the counsel of God for you, shall stand forever (Genesis 37:18-28). Joseph started his life experiences with the first and second dreams which set him at variance with his brothers and parents. The fulfilment of his destiny took him through Portiphar's house, the prison and eventually the palace of the Egyptians. In the te...

From Faith To Faith daily Devotional Saturday 30th July 2016 By Kenneth Copeland Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. – Psalm 119:105 As long as you live by the Word of God, you never have to be in the dark again. You never have to remain in confusion about which path to take. You never have to grope blindly along, struggling to find your own way. Isn't that great? Isn't it exciting to know that the Word of God will give you all the light you need every day of your life if you'll allow it to? Build your faith in that Word and renew your commitment to it as you make this confession today: "Father, in the Name of Jesus, I commit myself to walk in Your Word. I recognize that Your Word is integrity itself—steadfast, sure, eternal—and I trust my life to its provisions. "You have sent forth Your Word forth into my heart. I let it dwell in me richly in all wisdom. It does not depart out of my mouth; I meditate in it day and night so that I may dil...

  God's Favourite House Daily Devotional Saturday 30th July 2016  Theme: Link Hands “Two people are better than one… An enemy might be able to defeat one person, but two people can stand back-to-back to defend each other. And three people are even stronger…” Ecc.4:9&12 [ERV] God wants you to link hands with His children so that together we will become unstoppable. “Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven.”For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.” Matt18:19-20. The question is who are you praying with? If you are not praying with anybody right now, you have limited yourself. You have boxed yourself in a corner. Really, who are you praying with? I am not referring to the Prophets you are praying with, that does not count, in fact it reduces from you. What counts is two people [two children] of God agreeing. At prayer time i...

He [Jesus] answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”  Matthew 4:4 When the devil tempted Jesus, Jesus turned the Word of God on him, saying, “It is written…It is written…It is written…”  Matthew 4:4, 7, 10 Likewise, should the devil remind you of the pain in your body, say what God’s Word says: “It is written, ‘By His stripes I am healed!’” (Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24) And tell Daddy God, “I have Your Word for it and I am standing on Your Word. I am not trying to be healed. My healing has already happened. I don’t care what this body says. It has to line up with Your Word because by Jesus’ stripes I am healed!” And if the devil says to you, “Look at the meager balance in your bank account. How are you going to pay your bills?” just say, “I'm not going to worry because I know that my God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.’ (Philippians 4:19) It...

God's Favourite House Daily Devotional 29th Friday July 2016  (Theme: God's Family) “How could one person chase a thousand of them, and two people put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?” Deu.32:30 “Each one of you will put to flight a thousand of the enemy, for the LORD your God fights for you, just as he has promised” Josh.23:10. I am sure you will agree with me that if God stopped here it is beautiful by itself. One person putting to flight a thousand is not normal. But if we go by the natural law of synergy, two will put to flight maybe three thousand, definitely more than two thousand, perhaps even four thousand maximum. But God says, one will put to flight a thousand, two would put ten thousand to flight. Wow! That is why the devil always wants you to fight with your spouse. That is the only reason why he wants you to sleep on the same bed and face different directions [not to be in agreement]. It is because he k...

From Faith To Faith Daily Devotional Friday 29th July 2016 (We're Winning) Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not. – Numbers 14:9 Thousands of years ago, God told the children of Israel to go up and occupy the land that He had given them. He told them to take it, by force and without fear, from the ungodly ones who were dwelling there. He's still saying that today. God is still trying to get us, as His people, to take the good land He's given us. He's still trying to get us to use the power He's given us to run the wicked one out. You see, this earth doesn't belong to the devil. It belongs to God (Psalms 24:1). The devil has just moved in and taken control of things because we believers haven't stopped him. That is our job, you know. Jesus took Satan's legal rights away from him on Resurrection morn...
