Month: August 2023

Judges 6:23 And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.

Welcome to this week Devotional as we study the benefits one enjoys when “The God Visit”. The presence of the Lord has many benefits and that’s why many who experience God’s visitation never remain the same, I pray for someone today, you will experience God’s visitation in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. The first benefit of God’s visitation is PEACE OF MIND. Most times when God visits we tend to be afraid, fearful or feel jittery but that’s not what the presence of God brings. That’s why the first statement most of the time when God visit is, PEACE BE UNTO YOU. When Jesus revisited the disciples after His resurrection and on the eight days later, He made the same statement, in John 20:19, “… came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, PEACE BE UNTO YOU. 

Also in John 20:26, “… Then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, PEACE BE UNTO YOU.

I declare with Faith this morning, the God of peace shall visit you this week. God doesn’t visit without an impart and the first impact is Peace of Mind, we shall enjoy that peace from above in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. Let’s cry for His visitation upon our lives as the month is running to an end in order to enjoy all around peace.

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.

24 Give freely and become more wealthy;     be stingy and lose everything. (NLT).

This question might have been bothering you since the beginning of this series. Must i give? Why will I give? If no one is giving me why should I give? 

The first reason is this, We give to grow and increase, Yes, we release what we have in order to move forward. Let’s check this scenario. As human, we give out carbon dioxide to take in oxygen. The oxygen sustains us while the plant are sustained by the carbon dioxide. Without oxygen we can’t live, likewise the plants without carbon dioxide. Also, for us to grow in life we need to release something in other to get what will sustain us. You work so you can be paid. We listen, learn, go for formal education, sacrifice our time so we can get knowledge to be better in life. Those who release what they have never lack.

When we plant a seeds, we harvest multiple. Likewise, when we give, we reap back in multiple, so, to have in abundance is to be a giver. Giving is not a waste of resources but a process of investment. Have you being giving? If not, start giving in order to experience abundance.

Good Day and God bless you.

“9. Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:

14. Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.”

No one gets to where they are without the help of someone. Every man or woman made today was helped by someone to the top. If God will help you, He will send someone, yes. Those helpers also need your gift without requesting it. Showing appreciation after getting to the top shouldn’t be the end of giving to our helpers. They also have a need you can attend to. God didn’t send people to help you so you can leave them where they are, no He assigned them to help you so you can attend to a need in their lives also.

The butler was helped by Joseph to ease his stress about his dream. When it was time for Joseph to be freed, the Butler spoke about Him. You have something to give to the lives of those who have helped you in the time being. Think, remember them like the butler did, search for them and gift them what you can to put a smile on their faces. It’s not just an appreciation but a giving to also affect their lives. Be the butler who remembered Joseph after some years and give a gift to your helpers.

Good Day and God bless you.

“1. Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.

2. Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.”

Most times God leads us to give to people we feel are okay and never need our help. People who looks better and richer than we do in appearance (but we are more better than they do). Talking about giving to our colleagues in our places of works may sound absurd but there is what God want to achieve with this. Their payroll may be more than yours, they may look wealthier than you do. Some may even be your antagonist in your office and God is leading you to give them a gift, it’s not the devil, it’s God’s voice harken to the Voice and be a blessing.

King Solomon, from our Bible reading, categorize all human as WATERS to release our bread to. Their should be no segregation to who to give a gifts. There should be no limitations to why we shouldn’t give our bread to our colleagues and friends. Most time God leads us to give, it is to unlock what He, (God), have in-stock for us through the declaration of who we are giving our gifts. It doesn’t matter if your colleague was your antagonist to your boss, if God has directed your mind to what He lacks and you have it, release it and let God have His way. Stop doubting whom God is leading you to give gifts. If God shows you, He has a purpose. Your colleague is not your enemy to your progress, carry out the duty God is sending you to them.

Good Day and God bless you.

“34. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36. Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Am glad to let you know this, no matter how righteous we are or may be, without giving we are not complete in God. Everything God did for us was founded on Giving, without giving we are not obedient to God’s command. Giving is what builds us, links us and bring impact on one another. When we withhold from giving to others we are more or less closing the gate of heaven against ourselves.

Jesus speaking to Believers in our Bible reading said, “You gave me, You took me in, You clothed me, you visited me.” These are all “Givings” in different level. When we talked about giving, it’s not just about money but attitude and helping others. No one lacks what to give. 

Galatians 6:9.

“9. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

All Giving has reward and it’s seasonal. Reach out to that family, that neighbor, that friends who is need of that gift of yours. Learn to give, it’s part of God’s command and entering ticket to God’s kingdom.

Good Day and God bless you.

“6. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

7. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, ESPECIALLY UNTO THEM WHO ARE OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH.

Apostle Paul speaking of doing good to others and He was specific of those to consider as priority which are, The Believers, the same Household of Faith. It’s a shame to be good outside but wicked in the household of Faith. Most times we prefer to give gifts to those outside our faith, it’s not wrong but there are people to consider First. 

In Acts 4:34-35,

“34. Neither was there any among them that lack, for as many as possessed lands or houses, sold them and brought the prices of the things that were sold,

35. And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.”

These the believers did in those days, they brought what they have, what they could give out, and it was distributed to the needy. Most times we look down on those who are the less privileged in our worship places, still take our gifts to those who have nothing to do with God. Many of our gifts falls to the ground where they can’t grow. GIVING of gifts to people of the same faith is more paramount to grow our faith. It encourages and build other’s faith. It’s an answer of prayers to many in our folds. Giving is more powerful when you give to those have nothing to give back in return. Check your household of Faith and give gifts to those who really need them, including the actives ones in God’s work.

Good Day and God bless you.

“10. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.”

Today, we are discussing about Giving to Men of God. I know many will say, “They have enough” but it was also given to them by someone like me and you, and do you know what, those givers are receiving the blessing. Ministers of God deserves gift in and out of season. They are a link and a representative of God to us. They close the bridge between us and God. They intercede for us even when we’re not aware, in a nutshell, they are our coverage through God.

Giving to ministers is showing gratitude to God not to man. Ministers have needs and responsibilities too. They have dependant and expectations. Yes, they are being paid by their churches, but very minimal to their responsibility. The Lord would have directed Elijah to the synagogue and not to the widow. Elisha would have be taken care of by the ministry of prophets but the shunamite did. When we give to ministers, it attract unspeakable blessings of God. Aside the tithe and offering, which are called for by God, showing gratitude of gifts of cloth, shoes, cars, house rent, children’s fee and many more sweetens their heart as much as God. God can’t take away His eye from our gifts to them. They also have needs, give to Ministers of God, not just your church Pastors, even in other Ministries as God lays it in your heart. Be a blessing to God’s servant and you will be rewarded by God.

Good Day and God bless you.
