TOPIC: WHAT KILLS FAITH? 7: Trusting In Men

MEMORY VERSE: 
Hebrews 11:1.
“1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

BIBLE READING:
Psalms 118:8-9
“8. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
9. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.”
As we round up our study on the Topic, “What kills Faith?”, We shall be studying “Trusting In Men”, this is another Faith killer. When you expect much from men than God, when you run to men instead of God, you are killing your faith in God and strengthening your Faith in man which is not reliable. Yes, God uses men but He decides on who to use not our decision. So, when we put our confidence in men our faith diminishes in God. I always say this, Faith means, “Father, Am In Thy Hand” not Friends, Am In Thy Hands. Where we focus on determines the growth of our faith.
When we trust in man, we are saying to God, we’re done with His help. Faith in God should be 100% no matter the situation we’re in. I pray with you this day, every killers of faith in our lives, may God eliminate them in Jesus Mighty Name. Where our strength and hope in Faith has been drained, the Holy Spirit will refill us all in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
Walking on your Faith daily is paramount to staying in Faith.
Good day and God bless you.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

TOPIC: WHAT KILLS FAITH? 6: Comparison With Others.

MEMORY VERSE: 
Hebrews 11:1.
“1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

BIBLE READING:
2 Corinthians 10:12.
“12. For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.”
We, as Christians, are to be encouraged and motivated by the growth of other’s faith. We’re to be lifted by seeing and hearing other’s testimony of faith not to compare ourselves with them. We’re not to use them as a measure to know where our faiths lies. Faith is in sizes and depends on our connectivity with God. When we begin to compare our level of faith with others, we tend to find reasons to kill our Faith. 
Someone’s faith may carry him to fast for ten, fifteen or twenty-one days; that you can’t meet up with seven days fasting doesn’t mean your faith is dead or you are not growing. Growth is in level. Many men of God today were no where to found twenty years back, but now they are there at the top. If they had compare them selves with others years back, they can’t be where they are today. Comparison kills faith faster, it weakens one from growing. 
Apostle Paul said, we shouldn’t be unwise by comparing ourselves with other. We only need to see, admire and grow, not trying to be like others. When you live on comparison you become a second handed vessel to others. Comparison leads to competition and God doesn’t call us to compete but to function in our called area. The more you compare yourself with others, the more you miss your track in Faith. Stop killing your Faith with comparison. Focus on growing your faith in your calling and your Faith will bring glory to God.
Good Morning And God Bless You.

Week 10, Day 5: 
Thursday, 9th March, 2023. 

TOPIC: WHAT KILLS FAITH? 5: Title Oriented.

MEMORY VERSE: 
Hebrews 11:1.
“1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

BIBLE READING:
Matthew 23:1-6.
“1. Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2. Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat:
3. All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
4. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
5. But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
6. And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogue.
Today’s discussion centred on title oriented persons. Title brings over familiarity with God if one doesn’t watch out. It’s one of the killers of Faith. You tend to do somethings because of the title you are carrying and looses focus on your faith with God. As title holders, most times we work by title and not by faith. We believe God is with us without hearing from Him and taking decisions. Most times we find it too difficult to hear from God, study His word and even pray as it may be. 
This was the case of the pharisees, leaders of the law. They left their faith behind and were carried away by activities and the law. Title is simply an avenue to serve not to impose one self on others. That department you are can kill your faith if not well handed. Don’t be title driven. Don’t be Talent driven. Don’t be position driven. It kills your Faith. As you earn the title work on your faith. Stop seeing yourself as someone who has achieved it all because your faith might be dieing gradually. Don’t be a title oriented person, work on your Faith.
Good Morning And God Bless You.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 10, Day 4: Wednesday, 8th March, 2023. TOPIC: WHAT KILLS FAITH? 4: Lack Of Action

Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel 
Week 10, Day 4: 
Wednesday, 8th March, 2023. 

TOPIC: WHAT KILLS FAITH? 4: Lack Of Action

MEMORY VERSE: 
Hebrews 11:1.
“1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

BIBLE READING:
James 2:15-17
“15. If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16. And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
17. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Faith is unseen but action is the proof or evidence of it. Faith backed up with action increases and reproduces more reasons to grow in Faith. When you declare your Faith, you need to work it out with your action. Abraham believed God’s promise that Sarah will have Isaac, the action to back this up was for Abraham to carry out His duty with his wife. Elijah had the faith that God is sending the rain, but the action to back it up was for Elijah to pray and be sensitive.
The Faith you’ve been professing can only grow when you take the necessary action to back it up. Giving is a proof of your love. When others lack what you have, either in essence or little, and you can’t meet their needs, you’re on the verge of killing your Faith about giving. When God gives you an assignment and you are waiting for a convenient time to carry it out, your Faith has been tampered with. Acting your Faith increases and move you to the next level of Faith. You don’t faith without acting. Act your faith to prove you have the Faith and your Faith will keep growing day by day.
Good Morning And God Bless You.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 10, Day 3: Tuesday, 7th March, 2023. TOPIC: WHAT KILLS FAITH? 3: Lack Of Prayer.

Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel 
Week 10, Day 3: 
Tuesday, 7th March, 2023. 

TOPIC: WHAT KILLS FAITH? 3: Lack Of Prayer.

MEMORY VERSE: 
Hebrews 11:1.
“1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

BIBLE READING:
Philippians 4:6
“6. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”
Our God is all knowing. He has purpose for all His children. He places His intentions in our heart, as a Dream, Vision, Revelation, Calling or Purpose for our lives. All these can’t be possible when our faith doesn’t carry it or when it’s weak. Get this, it’s not a crime or sin that our faith is been drained or weak but the danger in this is, not reawakening it. Almost all our fathers in Faith went through this period as well, but another key to awakening it is Our Prayer life. 
Prayer, truly, is work. But many get it wrong when we talked about prayer. That you can’t pray for hours doesn’t mean you are not praying. That you are not praying publicly never meant you are not praying. Prayer is communicating with God not with men. Prayer is speaking with God according to His purpose for our life. There are times you’ll feel you lack the strength to carry on, all you need do is, “Lord help my Faith”. “Strengthen my Faith.” There are times you pray for hours and times you pray for minutes, but keep praying is the key. When we Keep speaking to God, it renews our strength in God. Prayer rekindles Faith. It increases hope and gives strength for the race. Faith need to be renewed daily through our prayers. When the zeal for God’s assignment is going down, our prayer need to be increased. Prayer is proportional to faith. Light up your prayer life and your Faith will be lightened up as well. When you stop praying you start killing your Faith.
Good Morning And God Bless You.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 10, Day 2: Monday, 6Th March, 2023. TOPIC: WHAT KILLS FAITH? 2: Lack Of Genuine Worship

Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel 
Week 10, Day 2: 
Monday, 6Th March, 2023. 

TOPIC: WHAT KILLS FAITH? 2: Lack Of Genuine Worship

MEMORY VERSE: 
Hebrews 11:1.
“1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

BIBLE READING:
Isaiah 29:13.
“Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:”
The second strength giver of Faith is genuine worship of God. 
John 4:23-24
“23. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
Without a heartfelt worship, our faith may degenerates gradually. Our worship of God is not a worship of mouth and lips alone, not worship of dancing and jamboree but of the heart and Spirit filled. When we lack connectivity in the spirit while worshipping, nothing boosts our Faith, no words of wisdom, no revelation neither is there any voice from God. But when our worship is genuine and of the spirit, our faith is energized by the spirit we are connected to. Can I ask you, where is your heart during the worship of God? What runs in your mind while the worship of God is going on? Mind you, worship is not by beat but by the lyrics (words) of the songs you sing. Are you very far in the spirit to God or closer while worshipping? In your closet do you have time for genuine worship of Him?
To increase and grow your Faith in God, work on your worship life, devote more time in adoring God. Let your mouth, lip and heart be connected when you worship God. Stay away from distractive thought and sight, have a connection with God then He increases your Faith.
Good Morning And God Bless You.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 10, Day 1: Sunday, 5Th March, 2023. TOPIC: WHAT KILLS FAITH? 1: Lack Of The Word.

Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel 
Week 10, Day 1: 
Sunday, 5Th March, 2023. 

TOPIC: WHAT KILLS FAITH? 1: Lack Of The Word.

MEMORY VERSE: 
Hebrews 11:1.
“1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

BIBLE READING:
Romans 10:17.
“17. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Happy New week to you all. We shall be studying “What Kills Our Faith”. Why does our faith kept diminishing gradually as believers? Faith is the tool to walk with God and we all know that without it pleasing God will be impossible. It’s a substance of things hope for, what you believe will work out but at some times, we loose the faith and feel miserable, why? Because we stop devoting time for God’s word. We keep calculating the word of God instead of accepting and believing it as before.
Many Christians believed “civilization has come” that not all of the word of God we should followed. We begin to select the word to believe and accept. We decide on what we work with and with this we’ve diverted ourselves to the level of mental wisdom. This is the first pest killing our Faith. The Word created everything including you, so working outside the word is working against ourselves. How often do we study God’s word? When we study do we really act accordingly? Do we accept what you studied? You have no time to study on your own, only when you are in His presence, do you accept and believe the word preached? It’s what you receive with your heart that can change you and work around you. 
“So, then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Not hearing what other says or believed in, but the Word of God you heard or read, accept and believed in. Go back to the studying of the word and your Faith will find expression again.
Good Morning And God Bless You.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT LUST AND LOVE IN THE CONCEPT OF MARRIAGE. PT 2.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT LUST AND LOVE IN THE CONCEPT OF MARRIAGE. PT 2.
Continuation…
Marriage is more than making babes, sleeping together, walking together and spending together. Every good and godly marriages are based on Love and Endurance not lust and enjoyment as many thinks. Lust can’t keep a home and Endurance comes before Enjoyment in marriage. What do I mean by Endurance? You agreed to live with someone you have little idea of, so, you have to start understanding one another for some years, start correcting some fault in love, and teaching one another some principles of life and marriage. So if you lack endurance, you can’t go through this process. During those period, Lust can’t sustain you, because lust only came for what to get not what to contribute, when this is not achieved, lust leads you out of the marriage. So love is what sustains you to endure the trying time before the enjoyment.
Marriages built on lust are filled with lies, pretence, domestic violence, lack of unity, insubordination and bitterness. While Marriages built on Love are full of truth from onset, No violence, united, openness, submissiveness (from both sides), understanding and happiness. Get this, no marriages is without ups and downs but love keeps the marriage during these period.
KEYS TO SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE.
1. Face Yourself
Face Your Marriage.
Marriage is between two persons, without any interference from other parties, either from the two in-laws or friends. It’s between you two that has become one, you don’t need to compare your home with others. Build your home. If other marriages fail will yours fail too? So face your selves in your marriage.
2. Ingredients Of Marriage.
Marriages is not built on Love alone but many other ingredients such as Commitment, Forgiveness, Endurance, Sacrifice, Submissiveness (from both side), and Acceptability. 

WHY PEOPLE QUIT IN MARRIAGES
1. Lust Base and not Love Base.
They didn’t know the difference between Lust and Love before going into marriage and they have no deep meaning of what marriage entails.

2. Lack of Unity In Marriage.
Marriage is not a ring where you FIGHT to win, No, it’s a field where you PLAY to win together, cover one another lapses, blame games is not allowed, so, it’s a team game, Amos 3:3. It’s a field where you play as a team not as an individual.

_Life Is A Ring Where You Fight To Win But Marriage Is A Field Where You Play To Win._

3. One Sided Support System.
You don’t marry because of what you’ll gain only, you marry to contribute and then gain from one another, that’s why it’s called, Give and Take. When you are not ready to Sacrifice, Forgive, Control and be Controlled, Supportive and Submissive, don’t think about marriage, because this is what marriage entails.

I don’t know what you are going through in Your marriage presently, but this i know, God can handle it all, just identify the source of your challenges first then, the solution will show up.

God Bless you.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT LUST AND LOVE IN THE CONCEPT OF MARRIAGE. Part 1

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT LUST AND LOVE IN THE CONCEPT OF MARRIAGE. Part 1
WHAT IS LUST?
Galatians 5:16
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Lust is a short term selfish goal towards someone or something. Lust is always temporary in nature and with one focus at a time. One can lust after opposite sex, money, position, properties, power or fame. Lust is define by the word “Get it by all means and turn back”. Most celebrity and wealthy people find their selves in this shoe, called lust love, and sooner or later they end up in divorce and miserable, because Lust has been interchanged with Love.
WHAT IS LOVE?
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
4 . Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5. does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6. does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7. bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
Love is to prefer to be with, share with, spend your time with, stand with and stand by someone or something than any other person or thing. Love is a long term goal, till death do us part. Love doesn’t die, it can be hidden but it last longer than lust. To love is to be ready to forgive and forget offenses. Love look away from wrongs and correct in love.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LUST AND LOVE
Lust is for a moment. Love is for a life time.
Lust is after a short term savour, while Love is for a long term enjoyment.
Lust is all about taking advantage of others. Love is about inspiring one another; 
Lust is build on selfishness. Love is build on Oneness.
Lust expires while Love doesn’t expire.
Lust complain bitterly, Love correct gently.
These are reasons why our parent still spend years together with their spouses even with all the challenges in their marriages, because they lived in Love and not in Lust.
WHAT IS MARRIAGE?
Marriage means, Union of Two Lovers who want to be together, share together, spend time together, stand with and stand by one another for life, and that’s why it’s called a vow. 
Genesis 2:23-24.
23. And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24. Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
Watch out for PT 2.
