How To Enter Into A Rhythm of Favour

Reading Time: 2 minutes

How To Enter Into A Rhythm of Favour . Oh, what would it be like to have streams of favour uninterrupted in one’s life, relationship and work?

Did the scripture promise something like that? Can it possibly be our reality?

Well, let’s take a look at the scriptures!

Mat 11:29 (MSG) Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.

The Message Translation of Matt 11:29 captures the essence of today’s devotional.

There is a rhythm of grace! An unforced rhythm of favour that makes life easy! 

The word “rhythm” means “a strong, regular repeated pattern”

I pray for you today, God will bring you into a strong regular, repeated pattern of favour in Jesus’ name!

According to the scripture above, There are four things you are to do that will lead you into this rhythm

How To Enter Into A Rhythm of Favour
1. Walk
2. Work
3. Watch
4. Learn

There is a WALK and there is WORK! There is time spent with Him to WATCH Him and LEARN! When you do this, you will come into repeated pattern of favour!

Enoch walked with God and we know his testimonies.
Jesus worked with God and we know what happened.
Jesus said we should “Watch” and pray and he also said we should “Learn” of Him

As you begin to spend more time with God and His word, I pray that you will come into a strong, regular repeated pattern of God’s favour in Jesus’ name! This is How To Enter Into A Rhythm of Favour 
Good morning!

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I walk, work, watch and learn of Him

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Lord, teach me to walk and work with you 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Mat 11:29 (AMPC) Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls.

Sleep Through The Storms In Your Marriage

Sleep Through The Storms In Your Marriage

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Sleep Through The Storms In Your Marriage. Jesus provides us as believers so many weapons to use to have victory in life. One thing is sure, we always have one hundred percent victory, a hundred percent of the time especially in our marriage.

It is so beautiful being a child of God. You are just assured that you are an overcomer. Hallelujah. Whether in marriage, on your job, over your health finances, children, or your emotional life, your total victory is guaranteed.

This is the confidence we have in him, that our faith overcomes every situation and challenge. Will you also exercise this faith you already possess as a believer? Sleep Through The Storms In Your Marriage

We face different situations, and in all of these, the Holy Spirit tells us which weapon to use. Whether it is to give a shout of praise, laugh, dance, worship, engage in spiritual warfare, fast and pray, give, or even sleep. Yes, I mean sleep, (rest). But you can’t sleep in the storm if you don’t know the God you believe in. 

If you don’t know God and what He has said, there is no way you can sleep. When your children are ill, when your spouse is wayward, when you don’t have money in your pocket, you can’t sleep. Without knowing God’s promise, you will worry yourself sick.

Jesus was sleeping in the boat during a storm.

Mark 4:37-39
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

As we take God at His word, stand on it, declare it (until the reality hits us) and we believe that He can never lie. We trust Him in the midst of whatever storm we face, knowing He is right by our sides. Sleep Through The Storms In Your Marriage

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY 
I am a Word chaser. My soul pants after your word, as the deer pants for the water brooks

PRAYERS FOR THE DAY
Help me to hunger and thirst for you Word, oh Lord.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY 
Mark 4:37-39
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY
Study God’s word daily and get to know Him.

John 4

What Type of Baggage Are You Carrying?

What Type of Baggage Are You Carrying?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Today’s Devotional Explained in Video!

What Type of Baggage Are You Carrying? Sandy had been in four relationships and each time, she was sure she was going to walk down the aisle. But to her consternation, one thing or the other will crop up and there would always be a break-up!

She prayed and prayed. At some time, she thought she had been cursed. When God would have mercy on her and answer her prayers, she noticed that she had a lot of things going on in her thought life, she discovered she had fears and she was able to see it was her past that was stretching forth its hands like a monster and obfuscating the future. 

There are four types of relationship baggage we may be carrying at one point or the other. Let’s quickly take a look at one of them

What Type of Baggage Are You Carrying?
The Handbag Baggage
This isn’t much of a bag, Huh? Well. That’s exactly where the problem is. It’s a handbag, but it can hold some loaded pistols that can unleash havoc in moments. The handbag folk believes they don’t have many problems to deal with simply because their issues can be neatly tucked away.

These type of people carry their issues anywhere they are going like you carry a handbag and can “manifest” anytime! They believe my issues are there but they are manageable!

Such people are really nice and cute until you take a peep into the handbag and then the content therein might not be as cute as the container.

God doesn’t want us to live forever with “small issues” because that is the foundation for the big issues.

Small anger, but can leave tears and wail on its trails. Of recent, a lady set her husband on fire and then killed herself because she suspected her husband was cheating!

These are handbag types of issues. These issues come out under pressure!

Jesus did not call for big problems and issues alone.

It was a general invitation!

Mat 11:28 (KJV)
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.


A handbag can be a heavy load!

Why don’t you respond to the call today? Give Him that bag and let Him bring you into a place of healing and strength! What Type of Baggage Are You Carrying?



CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I have rest from all troubles in Jesus’ name  

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

Lord, open my eyes to see what I need to work on by your grace 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Mat 11:28 (AMPC) Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]

ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY
Empty your handbag at the foot of the cross

BIBLE READING FOR THE DAY
Matt 11

Go Ahead And Laugh at the Devil

Go Ahead And Laugh at the Devil

Reading Time: 3 minutes

This sounds like a preaching topic on a Sunday morning service. But we can also apply this to our marriage. We can’t separate our lives as Christians from our marriage. We have a Christian marriage because we first of all live the Christian life.

We have an enemy, an accuser, an adversary, the one who hates us with perfect hatred, the one who comes to steal everything good in our lives, he seeks to kill everything alive and seeks to destroy everything that gives us joy. 

Look into your marriage, are there things that make you happy, that give you joy? Are there things you are grateful to God for, things that you are excited about?

Know that the devil is working over time, and he desires to put an end to your joy. But thank God for His Mercy, He will never allow this to happen.

Ps 94:17 KJV
Unless the LORD had been my help, My soul had almost dwelt in silence.
 

We are all recipients of God’s mercies. We should never take these mercies for granted.

In learning to cooperate with God in other to get His will totally done and manifested in our lives, we have to be obedient to whatever He asks us to do.

One such instruction is ‘Go Ahead And Laugh at the Devil’. This may sound strange but it is an ‘act’ of faith. How can I laugh at the devil? When he is throwing ‘fiery darts’ at me? I don’t know whether it’s the fire of the dart to deal with first or the pain of the dart. 

Sometimes it could be overwhelming. When you are like that, just laugh out loud!

You know God told the children of Israel to look at a brazen serpent hanging on a pole when they were bitten by real serpents.  It looks ridiculous, but that is where their victory lies.

God will never ask anything that is not an act of faith and that He Himself has not done before.

Ps 2:1-2, 4 KJV
Why do the heathen rage, And the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: The Lord shall have them in derision

God Himself laughed at the devil and his cohorts (the heathen that imagine a vain thing against the Lord).

So instead of giving the devil attention, complaining, arguing, murmuring, getting frustrated, depressed, or downcast, just give out a good laugh.

First, the devil will be confused. Then he will flee. Light and darkness can’t stay together, darkness has to bow and go. 

One of the surest ways to get the devil off your back fast is when you do the opposite of what he expects.

Sometimes he even expects us to be binding and loosing, sweating with unbelieving prayers. Just act out in faith. Do the extraordinary and laugh.

In famine and in war, you shall laugh. He has put laughter in your mouth so laugh.

Glory to God.

Go Ahead And Laugh at the Devil

May the sound of rejoicing and laughter never cease from your home and marriage

God bless your marriage 

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY 
God has already given me the victory so I can laugh at the devil

PRAYERS FOR THE DAY 
Keep my eyes on your finished work Lord 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY 
Ps 2:1-2, 4 KJV
Why do the heathen rage, And the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: The Lord shall have them in derision

ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY
Laugh your way to victory

BIBLE READING FOR THE DAY 
Psalm 2

Let Him Go When He is Stubborn

Let Him Go When He is Stubborn

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Let Him Go When He is Stubborn.

There are three things I said yesterday that you can do when he or she is insisting.


1. Make it clear
2. Be accountable 
3. Ask questions 

This is Part two. We started on this yesterday! If you missed it, read it HERE. What more can you do when He is insisting?

The fourth thing you can do if the insistence will not stop is to discontinue the relationship. The continual insistence and stubborn posture to what is clearly wrong can be a symptom of a deeper issue.

You see, most of the issues you will confront in marriage would all be glaring for you to see as singles! But what do we do most times? We close our eyes to the obvious signs and bury ourselves in the mire of love. As they say, love is a blinder, but marriage is an eye opener.

Pastor, why would I stop something I have invested so much in? How will I cope with a broken heart?

Well, a broken heart is better than a broken life! There is no point in getting married to someone who outright disobeys or disregards God’s word. One of the ways you will know if a man or woman will respect you is if such a person respects God!

Anybody who doesn’t respect God, who is nonchalant at the things of God, will lack the capacity to respect you or value your person.

Especially if he or she is threatening you to break up if you don’t yield to the request! Don’t beg! And don’t yield under pressure because you want to keep the relationship.

Let Him Go When He is Stubborn! Hear this, you cannot keep or preserve anything of worth with the vehicle of compromise and disobedience. It has never worked and will never work!

It is better to walk away from compromise than to preserve it and nurture it.

Let Him Go When He is Stubborn!
Don’t be like Esau!

Heb 12:16 (KJV)
Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.


The Message Translation explains better:

Heb 12:16 (MSG)
Watch out for the Esau syndrome: trading away God’s lifelong gift in order to satisfy a short-term appetite.


Remember, whatever you cooperate with now is a subtle acceptance of such like eventually in marriage!

I pray God will give you more understanding! Be blessed today! 

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I refuse to compromise! 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Lord, teach me your wisdom in my relationship

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Heb 12:16 (AMPC) That no one may become guilty of sexual vice, or become a profane (godless and sacrilegious) person as Esau did, who sold his own birthright for a single meal. [Gen 25:29-34]

ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY
Read a book on relationships 

BIBLE READING FOR THE DAY
Heb 12
