DCLM Daily Manna – Power For Precious People

Pastor W. F. Kumuyi

DCLM Daily Manna 16 August 2022 Devotional By Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Power For Precious People

 

TOPIC: Power For Precious People (DCLM Daily Manna 16 August 2022)

TEXT: Luke 24:49-53 (KJV)

49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

KEY VERSE: “And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49).

MESSAGE:

Jean Caron, according to Wikipedia, is one of the strongest men on earth. He competed ten times in the World’s Strongest Man competition between 2008 and 2020 reaching the final eight times. In 2016, he successfully flipped a 610 kg tire four times to set a new world record and the same year, he broke the Guinness Book of World Records by turning over a Volkswagen thirteen times within five minutes in China. While Caron is being celebrated as the strongest, believers must recognise the awesome power bestowed upon them by the Holy Ghost.

After His resurrection, Jesus reminded His disciples of the messages He had taught them. He promised to send them the Holy Spirit but they must first wait in Jerusalem to receive the power. Thereafter, He led them out of town, blessed them and ascended to heaven. In obedience to the directive of the Master, the disciples returned to Jerusalem and waited in prayers for the Holy Ghost power, which eventually came upon them on the day of Pentecost.

Jesus demonstrated a lot of spiritual power while on earth. With the power of the Holy Spirit, He healed the sick, raised the dead, cast out demons, turned water to wine and fed thousands of people with just few loaves and fishes, etc. The miracles drew the attention of many people who thereafter turned from sin to righteousness.

The power of the Holy Ghost is available today. If you are a sanctified believer, ask for it in prayer of faith. He will give you what He promised. Only then will you begin to do exploits.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
You need the Holy Ghost for God-glorifying exploits.

TREM Devotional – What You Believe Is What You Manifest

Dr. Mike Okonkwo TREM

Wisdom For The Day Devotional 15 August 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – What You Believe Is What You Manifest

 

TOPIC: What You Believe Is What You Manifest (TREM Devotional 15 August 2022)

“Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” Isaiah 53:1 (NKJV)

MESSAGE:

Today, I have come to ask you: whose report do you believe? What you believe will determine what you say. And the Bible states very clearly that you shall have what you say. You see, it does not require faith to believe in defeat, failure, and lack. You don’t need faith to be afraid, because it is often in line with your experience. However, faith is required to believe in victory. You need faith to believe God for your healing and your provisions. The bible says, the just shall live by faith, and faith pleases God. We are called believers because we believe in God.

Whatever you believe is what will manifest. So, if you want to know what you believe, check through your life and find out what is manifesting, then you will know exactly what you believe. Our text reveals what it takes for the arm of the Lord to be revealed: Believe the report of the Lord! You cannot go on believing wrongly and expect good things to be made manifest. No! It does not work that way. I know that things might not be going right. I know there are difficulties and challenges facing you. But in the midst of all these, you must hold on to what God’s Word says concerning you, and never let go. Even in the face of contradictory evidence, you are who God says you are. You have what He says you have. You can do what He says you can do. Only believe!

Your part is not to know how it will happen. Your part is to believe what He says. He will figure out how to bring it to pass. Mary said I don’t know how this will happen, but be it unto me, according to your Word (Luke 1:38).

Choose to believe His Word! Stand on it and watch God perform His Word.

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional – Worship And The Glory

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 15 August 2022 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Worship And The Glory

TOPIC: Worship And The Glory (Seeds Of Destiny 15 August 2022)

SCRIPTURE: So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God. 2 Chronicles 5:14.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Pure love-filled worship attracts the Glory of God.

MESSAGE:

One major secret behind the glory explosion is a lifestyle of worship. Pure love-filled worship attracts the glory of God.

The Scripture makes it clear that as the trumpeters and instrumentalists worshipped God, the Glory of God filled the house of God (2 Chronicles 5:13-14) during the dedication of the temple of Solomon.

And one critical requirement for acceptable worship is love. It is the love-filled worship that pulls down the glory. You cannot worship God in bitterness, unforgiveness, envy, jealousy, competition, contention and see the Glory of God. If the glory must come down, we must engage in pure love-filled worship. Love for man and love for God.

Beloved, to see the Glory of God, you must make amends. You cannot keep malice with your wife and be attending conferences seeking to see the Glory of God. Maybe you are a pastor and your wife does not greet you or when she greets you, you do not answer, what kind of pastor are you? Where are you going? If my wife does not think that I am a Christian, then, I am not a Christian. If my wife does not think I am real, then, I am not real. If my wife cannot count on my words, no one has the right to count on my words.

One day, we were in a meeting and my wife was jotting notes of the message I was preaching and a man who came from Zambia asked her, “Madam, what are you still writing? You have been listening to your husband all these years” And she told him, “Yes, I have been listening to him all these years, but I hear something new every time.”

To see the Glory of God, you must engage in the pure worship of God in love, in holiness and in sincerity of heart.

Remember this: Pure love-filled worship attracts the Glory of God.

ASSIGNMENTS:

  1. Let your lifestyle bring worship to God always.
  2. Resist the lifestyle of sin.

PRAYER: Father, I receive fresh grace to worship You consistently in love and sincerity of heart. Let both my lifestyle and my lips bring pure worship to You, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: GLORY EXPLOSION

QUOTE: And what you got through a life of worship can be kept through a life of worship. Culled from, “21 FOOLISH THINGS PEOPLE DO” by Dr Paul Enenche

DAILY BIBLE READING: Jeremiah 28-30.

AMAZING FACT: Sea otters hold each other’s paws when they sleep so they don’t drift apart.

PROPHETIC WORD/DECLARATION: The Glory of the Lord overwhelm your life in this season as you walk in pure love in Jesus’ Name.

DCLM Daily Manna – Signs Following Christ’s Followers

Pastor W. F. Kumuyi

DCLM Daily Manna 15 August 2022 Devotional By Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Signs Following Christ’s Followers

 

TOPIC: Signs Following Christ’s Followers (DCLM Daily Manna 15 August 2022)

TEXT: Mark 16:14-20 (KJV)

14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

KEY VERSE: “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (MARK 16:17, 18).

MESSAGE:

Late Jamie Coots, the pastor of the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name in Middlesboro, Kentucky USA, was handling a rattlesnake during a service when he was bitten on his right hand. He refused medical care because he believed that God called upon him to handle venomous serpents and to drink other poisons without being harmed. While the Scripture encourages intelligent and Spirit-guided faith, it does not support presumptuous actions.

In our passage today, Jesus categorically commanded His disciples to go into the world and preach the gospel to every creature – the religious, atheists, unconverted youths and even children. He promised to protect them from harm as they go about preaching the gospel. In obedience to His instructions, they went everywhere preaching and signs followed them.

Jesus promised to be with His disciples because He knew that Satan would want to hinder them from carrying out His instructions. The story of Jesus and the cross is the message that the believer should preach and expect the signs to follow their obedience (Acts 28:1-5).

It is not faith but presumption to deliberately expose ourselves and other people to extreme danger. Miracles are not for show. Believers must show proper decorum and make wise decisions when they face life-threatening situations while doing the Master’s bidding.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
The essence of faith is to turn sinners into saints through the gospel.

TREM Devotional – Your Testimony Is Around The Corner

Dr. Mike Okonkwo TREM

Wisdom For The Day Devotional 14 August 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Your Testimony Is Around The Corner

 

TOPIC: Your Testimony Is Around The Corner (TREM Devotional 14 August 2022)

“So those who planted their crops in despair will shout hurrahs at the harvest, So those who went off with heavy hearts will come home laughing, with armloads of blessing.” Psalms 126:5-6 (MSG)

MESSAGE:

We are in a time and season when the media is filled with news that makes you weep. There are tales of woe all across the nations of the world. Many no longer feel safe to move around even in the most secure environments because of the news of sudden attacks, terrorism, and kidnappings. Yet in the midst of all this, God is assuring us that it is our season of rejoicing.

I know in the past months; things may not have worked out as you expected. You may have fasted and prayed, and it appears that heaven has become brass and the earth iron. Child of God don’t be moved by the lies of the devil. Our text remains very true: “…those who went off with heavy hearts will come home laughing, with armloads of blessing.” Beloved, your season of blessing is here, it is your time to celebrate and nothing can stop it.

In view of this, I encourage you in the words of Apostle Paul: “So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.” (Hebrews 10:35-36 NLT) You will not lose out. You will reap all that the Lord has promised you. So, don’t give up! And don’t give in!

Every day I hear mind-blowing testimonies of healing, deliverance, financial abundance, marriages, and the fruit of the womb amongst others. And I know that the same God who has done it for one will do it for you. For the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him. The very fact that He has done it before is proof that you will not be denied. God is too faithful to fail. Therefore, be determined never to let go of His love.

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 14 August 2022 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Releasing Your Past To Access Your Future

TOPIC: Releasing Your Past To Access Your Future (Seeds Of Destiny 14 August 2022)

SCRIPTURE: Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, Philippians 3:13.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: If you cannot release the negative past, you cannot access the positive future.

MESSAGE:

It has been confirmed that one thing that keeps people in perpetual bondage and affliction is the refusal to let go of the past.

One thing to know is: if you cannot release the negative past, you cannot access the positive future.

Dragging your yesterday into today makes arrival in tomorrow impossible. Until you forgive and forget the errors, mistakes, missed opportunities, hurts, and pains of the past, you cannot access your future. You must forfeit and forgo the opportunities of the past because you cannot hold on to the past and take hold of the future at the same time. You cannot walk backwards into tomorrow.

There could be emotional baggage, regrets, bitterness, pain, un-forgiveness, that have been following you for many years; you must drop them in order to lay hold of your future or reach where God wants you to reach in life.

Philippians 3:13 says,
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

Beloved, forgive and forget your past. If you cannot release the negative past, you cannot access the positive future. There are some hurting letters or text messages you have kept that should be torn or deleted. And more importantly, wipe them off your memory if you must access your destiny. This is because as long as you keep looking at them and remembering the past, you cannot get to your future. What to do if you failed before is to rise and start again and do it better; failure is not meant to hold you down.

Beloved, you might have missed an opportunity in the past; the good news is that several other opportunities are coming your way. Someone might have hurt you, but do not be bitter. The hurt is to make you better, not bitter. So, release your negative past to access your positive future.

Remember this: If you cannot release the negative past, you cannot access the positive future.

ASSIGNMENTS:

  1. By all means, release your negative past.
  2. Always set a vision ahead of you and walk towards it.

PRAYER: Thank You Lord for Your Word to me today. I receive Your grace to forgo and forfeit my negative past, Lord in Jesus’ Name.

FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: TWENTY DESTINY CAPSULES.

QUOTE: When a person does not learn from the failure and success of the people in time past, he repeats history.

AMAZING FACT: The only mammals to undergo menopause are elephants, humpback whales and human females.

PROPHETIC WORD/DECLARATION: Be released from every negativity of your past right now in the Name of Jesus Christ. Receive the grace to access the future in Jesus’ Name.

DCLM Daily Manna – The Assignment

Pastor W. F. Kumuyi

DCLM Daily Manna 14 August 2022 Devotional By Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — The Assignment

TOPIC: The Assignment (DCLM Daily Manna 14 August 2022)

TEXT: Matthew 28:16-20 (KJV)

16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

KEY VERSE: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” – (Matthew 28:19,20).

MESSAGE:

Jesus Christ our Lord and Master knew His mission and purpose for living. He knew why He was on earth and He did all that He had to do to get the work done. In the early years of His ministry when some people wanted to make Him king, He refused their offer. He knew He must be at His Father’s business. He faithfully and wholeheartedly carried out His God-given responsibility until the end of His sojourn on earth.

After Christ’s resurrection, He met the disciples in Galilee as promised. But despite all that they witnessed, some of them still doubted the resurrection story. Jesus then affirmed the divine authority that has been conferred on Him by His death. Then He commissioned them to go everywhere to preach, teach and baptize converted people in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. He promised to be with them wherever they go.

The assignment that Jesus gave the Church has not changed. Although much has changed about the world, the mandate to preach the gospel has never changed. Technology has made it easy to carry out the assignment using the social media, radio and television as well as the printed page. Everywhere we go, there is always an opportunity available to talk to someone about Jesus.

Since man has limited time to spend on earth, carrying out this assignment should be our priority. As you labour to bring souls to the Kingdom with consecration and commitment, great will be your reward. Will you be a faithful labourer today?

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
The harvest is much but the labourers are few!

TREM Devotional – The Power Of The Secret Place

By
Ayodele Smart

Dr. Mike Okonkwo TREM

Wisdom For The Day Devotional 12 August 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – The Power Of The Secret Place

TOPIC: The Power Of The Secret Place (TREM Devotional 12 August 2022)

“In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.” Isaiah 38:1 (KJV)

MESSAGE:

According to the scriptures, when Hezekiah received this report he “…turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,” (Isaiah 38:2). In other words, he shut down from everything surrounding him. He shut down from natural circumstances and situations. He shut down from the lie of the devil and the doctor’s report. He shut down from the postulations, the predictions, and the calculations of man. That is what the secret place is all about. Shutting down completely from what you used to know. Shutting down from what anyone is telling you, Hezekiah shut down and turned his face to the wall. He refused to see any other thing. As he broke down and wept, the Lord sent Isaiah to go and tell him that He has added fifteen more years to his life. That is the power of the secret place.

God is your refuge! Jehovah Rapha is your Healer! He is your Great Provider! He is your Victorious Banner! He is your Shepherd! He is your Elevation! He is your Rock! He is your Shield your Buckler! He is El-Shaddai! He is the God that is more than enough. He will meet your needs. If He met the needs of the children of Israel in the wilderness for 40years, how much more now that we are sons of God.

So, stop speaking about the devil. When you catch yourself thinking what the devil is doing, cast it down and begin to say of the Lord. When you start speaking what you got out of the secret place, God begins to reveal His true nature to you. He begins to reveal to you His power, authority, and what is available to you. His power of protection and preservation will keep you from evil.

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional – Understanding The Tithe

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 12 August 2022 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Understanding The Tithe

 

TOPIC: Understanding The Tithe (Seeds Of Destiny 12 August 2022)

SCRIPTURE: Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Malachi 3:10.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The tithe is not yours; the tithe is God’s portion in your possession.

MESSAGE:

It has been confirmed that understanding is key to outstanding existence in life; what you know is what you can show. In other words, knowledge is showledge. Also, what you see is what you can seize.

One reason people remain under the bondage of poverty is the ignorance of the secret of the blessing of abundance and supernatural supplies which is accessible through the tithe.

In our study today, we shall seek to understand what the tithe is all about.

  1. The tithe does not address the needs of God; it is targeted towards addressing the needs of man
    It is important to know that nothing changes with God if man does not pay tithe, but everything changes with the man who does not pay tithe. We do not pay tithe because God is in need, we pay tithe because we are in need. It was not because God was looking for fruit to eat that He told Adam not to eat the forbidden fruit (Genesis 2:15-17). So, the tithe does not address the needs of God; it is targeted towards addressing the needs of man.
  2. The tithe is not a giving but a payment
    A person gives what he owns but pays what he owes. You give your offerings but you pay your tithe; you give what is yours but you pay what you owe. This is why God said in Malachi 3:8 that we rob Him if we did not pay our tithe. It is robbery if we spend our tithe. If you use your tithe to buy a cloth and wear it, you are literally wearing a stolen cloth or cloth bought from stolen money. That is not your portion in Jesus’ Name.

So, the tithe is not yours; the tithe is God’s portion in your possession. The tithe is God’s portion in man’s possession.

Remember this: The tithe is not yours; the tithe is God’s portion in your possession.

ASSIGNMENTS:

  1. For a clearer understanding of the subject, you could listen to my message, “The Matter of the Tithe”.
  2. Release God’s portion, the tithe, in your possession and be consistent in the practice.

PRAYER: Lord, I refuse to eat what belongs to You. I receive the Grace to hold nothing back but pay my tithe always, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: THE MATTER OF THE TITHE.

QUOTE: Do not spend the money that enters your hand until God has been given His portion. That portion is what is called ‘the tithe’. Culled from, “21 UNCOMMON KEYS TO FINANCIAL OVERFLOW” by Dr Paul Enenche.

DAILY BIBLE READING: Jeremiah 19-21.

AMAZING FACT: Similar to a snake that sheds, your skin renews itself every 28 days

PROPHETIC WORD/DECLARATION: The Lord open the windows of heaven over your life for irrecoverable Blessings as you are faithful in your practice of the covenant in Jesus’ Name.

Pastor W. F. Kumuyi

DCLM Daily Manna 12 August 2022 Devotional By Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Praying To Receive

 

TOPIC: Praying To Receive (DCLM Daily Manna 12 August 2022)

TEXT: Numbers 6:22-27 (KJV)

22 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,

24 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:

25 The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

26 The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.

KEY VERSE: “And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.” – (Numbers 6:27).

MESSAGE:

The tragedy of the modern age is its concept of man’s self-sufficiency that makes him believe solely in his works. He arrays his technological feats and dreams of even more ambitious attempts at higher prospects. Man’s reverie of blessings and prosperity outside his Creator leads him to start a project of producing an elixir of life, to live forever.

Prosperity and success come from God alone. Instructing His servant, Moses, God reveals the unique type of petition from the children of Israel that would get His attention. First, the prayer must be offered by the truly dedicated messengers of God. Second, the demands must be presented to God. Third, the benediction sought must be for His children. Finally, the name of the Lord must be honoured as the chief requirement for answer to requests.

One of the Lord’s greatest gifts to man is the access to heaven through supplication. When in deep water, we earnestly call upon the Lord and He delivers us. Every genuine believer is a priest who can ask for heaven’s support, supply and succour. While a sinner can pray, he cannot enjoy all the virtues, riches and power of heaven except he or she pleads for forgiveness of sin and salvation.

It is the desire of the Lord that we depend upon Him in prayer for His blessings. He has raised up His Church as the salt and light of the world to pray for the lost in this perilous end time. He desires that we ask of Him, spiritual and physical blessings so that those around us would also acknowledge Him as a loving Father who meets the needs of His children who honour Him.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Blessings come from God through prayer of faith.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:8 (KJV)

MESSAGE:

Learn to speak the word to yourself. It will change your thoughts and your feeling. Repeat the scriptures to yourself. This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it. I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My mouth shall make my boast in the Lord; the humble shall hear and be glad. Oh magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name forever. I look unto him, my face is enlightened, and I am not ashamed. Put your confident expectation in Him. Speak what God said. Say it on daily basis. Put it in your bathroom and in your mirror. Put it on your fridge and everywhere. Speak positive things to your family. Speak life! Speak breakthrough! Speak His goodness!

Declare that God is bringing you out of that situation and that you are coming out bigger, better, and stronger than you have ever known. Speak because it will affect your feeling. Your feeling is so key and critical. If you feel negative, you are going to take a negative decision. However, if you feel positive, your disposition will be entirely different.

That was how Joshua succeeded. Moses had just died, and God was telling Joshua to get up and begin to lead the children of Israel into the land of promise. Joshua was so frightened, and God pointed him to the word. Let the word of God be your thought pattern; not what somebody said. When the chips are down, you will end up doing what you are hearing. That is what God was saying to Joshua. Stop rehearsing what your friend said concerning your situation. Keep speaking God’s word to yourself.

You must learn to use your tongue to declare good things concerning you.

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 11 August 2022 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Quality Association – A Key To Greater Heights In Life

TOPIC: Quality Association – A Key To Greater Heights In Life (Seeds Of Destiny 11 August 2022)

SCRIPTURE: He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Proverbs 13:20.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: If you walk with giants, you cannot take dwarfish steps.

MESSAGE:

It has been established that association defines destiny. The association you keep directly takes you to or away from your destiny. The company you keep determines where you will end. So, company is critical to destiny.

Now, one major effect of association is that association determines assimilation and impartation.

Assimilation means absorbing knowingly or unknowingly what the person you are walking with carries. What the person you keep company with carries flows into you consciously or unconsciously.

For example, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego charged each other in maintaining their stance for God by refusing to bow to the image of the king. Peter and John also charged themselves. And if your association is with a person of higher level of unction, it brings impartation to you. Your association with a higher anointed person makes his/her unction to flow down upon you because water will always flow down the gradient.

For example, one reason God has helped us to build a massive structure like the Glory Dome is because of our association with a higher unction, God’s servant, Bishop David Oyedepo. I saw the foundation of Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland. I saw how the structure was built from the scratch. We once worshipped in that structure when there was no roof on it. So, the Glory Dome is a product of such massive inspiration and impartation.

Beloved, if you walk with giants, you cannot take dwarfish steps. By all means, your steps will become those of giants. And if a giant gave birth to you, you are genetically implicated for height.

Remember this: If you walk with giants, you cannot take dwarfish steps.

ASSIGNMENTS:

  1. Pay attention to quality association.
  2. Reject all negative influences over life.

PRAYER: Thank You Lord for showing me the place of quality association in destiny fulfilment. Help me to attract and keep positive association Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

DCLM Daily Manna – Salt Of The World

DCLM Daily Manna 11 August 2022 Devotional By Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Salt Of The World

TOPIC: Salt Of The World (DCLM Daily Manna 11 August 2022)

TEXT: Genesis 40:1-8 (KJV)

1 And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.

2 And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.

3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.

5 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison.

6 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.

7 And he asked Pharaoh’s officers that were with him in the ward of his lord’s house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?

8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.

KEY VERSE: “And he asked Pharaoh’s officers that were with him in the ward of his lord’s house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?” (Genesis 40:7).

MESSAGE:

The real litmus test of the Christian is not his exploits within the confines of the church building or when he finds himself amidst other believers. Whether in the temple or outside it, Christians are to offer excellent service to the Lord at all times. God’s enduring charge is that His disciples must be the salt and the light of the world, and not of the church alone.

Thrown into a dungeon as a common criminal for rejecting a woman’s proposal to be her sin partner, Joseph maintained his probity by retaining the light and salt in him. Waking up one morning, he found two fellow prisoners without the joy and life that salt and light offer. They were filled with the sadness and darkness. He comforted them with the grace of God in him.

Joseph was in the same dreary condition as the two men. He too could look mournful. But he was not. What was responsible for his cheerful outlook? His connection to God gave him the salt and light Jesus spoke of. The believer must be salt and light to a hurting and dark world by preaching the love of Christ and living like Him.

When we are the salt and light of the world, we do not become part of the throng complaining bitterly about the socioeconomic and political conditions around us. We do not allow them to drag us low to the point of carrying placards in the streets to castigate the government of the day. Instead, like Joseph, we reveal the joy of salvation in us and show them the power of the God who can turn things around for their good.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Without Christ, the world is a deep pit of darkness and bitterness.

Dr. Mike Okonkwo TREM

Wisdom For The Day Devotional 10 August 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – You Are Standing On The Platform Of Victory

TOPIC: You Are Standing On The Platform Of Victory (TREM Devotional 10 August 2022)

“For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ”. Romans 5:17 (KJV)

MESSAGE:

Reigning in life is your heritage, even as you look unto Jesus. He who knew no sin became sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Christ. Stop looking around you to see what is happening. Rather, focus on what has been accomplished on your behalf in Christ. No matter what the enemy has fashioned against you, you are coming out of it. God, who has begun a good work in you, will finish it. Stop worrying about where you are now. You are a work in progress. Stop calling yourself what God has not called you. Don’t repeat the sin of Adam. You are God’s child. You are the righteousness of God. You are a new creation. You are more than a conqueror.

Whatsoever you bind on earth is bound in heaven. What you loose on earth is loosed in heaven. You have the authority to trample upon the power of serpents and scorpions and overall the ability of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you. You have been crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, you live, yet not you, the life you live now you live is by the faith of the Son of God, who loved you and gave himself for you. Christ in you is the joyful and confident expectation of glory.

Fear not! I don’t care what the enemy has planned, fear not! You are coming out with victory. You are coming out with spoils. For whosoever is born of God overcometh the world; for this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith. For greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Just as hell could not stop the resurrection of Jesus, no power can stop you. You are unstoppable. You are unkillable. It doesn’t matter what your experiences are now, your future is determined in Christ. You will come out with testimonies.

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 10 August 2022 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: The Irrecoverable Loss

TOPIC: The Irrecoverable Loss (Seeds Of Destiny 10 August 2022)

SCRIPTURE: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The death of a sinner is an irreplaceable, irrecoverable, irreversible eternal loss.

MESSAGE:

It has been confirmed from Scriptures that one assignment God gave every believer is the assignment of soul winning.

Mark 16:15-16 says,
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Now, one reason why we must win souls is that the loss of a soul is an irreplaceable, irrecoverable and irreversible loss, both to God and to mankind. It is an eternal loss to God anytime a sinner dies.

The Scripture gives us an account of the conversation between Abraham and the rich man. The rich man died and went to hell while Lazarus also died and went to Abraham’s bosom in Heaven. When the rich man saw the reality of hell, he pleaded with Abraham to send Lazarus to preach to his brothers on earth so they didn’t end up in hell like him (Luke 16:19-31).

The meaning is, the death of a sinner is an irrecoverable eternal loss. When a man dies, mercy expires. Mercy exists as long as time exists. When people close their eyes in death and they are found on the other side of eternity, mercy has expired. Hence, it is very important for us to go out for souls to win them for the Lord. So, make up your mind to rescue the lost for God.

Remember this: The death of a sinner is an irreplaceable, irrecoverable, irreversible eternal loss.

ASSIGNMENTS:

  1. Refuse to watch sinners perish in their sins; determine to go for souls.
  2. Do it now. Do not procrastinate.

PRAYER: Lord, deliver me from being guilty of the blood of sinners; give me the grace to preach to them. I ask for Your Help to establish them in Your House, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: God spares those who serve Him. Culled from, “15 KINGDOM STRATEGIES FOR SURVIVAL” by Dr Paul Enenche.

DAILY BIBLE READING: Jeremiah 13-15.

AMAZING FACT: When you flush the toilet, bacteria rise to six feet. That is why it is not a good idea to leave your toothbrush in the toilet.

PROPHETIC WORD/DECLARATION: Fresh passion for souls be released on you in this season in Jesus’ Name.
