TREM Devotional – Jesus Is The Master Over Time

Dr. Mike Okonkwo TREM

Wisdom For The Day Devotional 30 September 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Jesus Is The Master Over Time

 

TOPIC: Jesus Is The Master Over Time (TREM Devotional 30 September 2022)

“When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,” John 2:9 (KJV)

MESSAGE:

The God we serve is the “I AM”! In other words, God is saying: whatever your need is; I AM. Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life. He will always show Himself in another dimension over your situation. He has the answer to every challenge of life.

According to the book of John 2:1-11, Jesus performed his first miracle at a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus is the greatest asset you have in life because He is a solution provider. Jesus is the game-changer. And He can be trusted.

The key thing to notice in the account is the miracle of time. Jesus proved that he is the Master over time. You see, don’t ever worry over what your loss over the years or months maybe. Whatever the condition, God knows how to reverse it. He is the Master over time. He is the Master over circumstances. If you ask those who manufacture wine, they will tell you how long it takes. It takes time to be able to manufacture wine, more especially when it is a good wine. For instance, you’ve got to plant the grapes. Then you let the grapes mature before you can now begin to work on the grapes. And after you have squeezed wine out of the grapes, you now have to store it for several years. But there was no time as far as this miracle was concerned.

It was an instant miracle. It was a miracle that overruled time.

God will overrule time for you. God will cause time to work on your behalf. Time will favour you.

By the time the wine was brought, they notice that it was better than every other wine. The best part of your life is ahead of you. The best part of your life is yet coming. You will recover all. You will pursue, you will overtake and you will recover all.

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional – Revelation And Preservation By Prayer

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 30 September 2022 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Revelation And Preservation By Prayer

TOPIC: Revelation And Preservation By Prayer (Seeds Of Destiny 30 September 2022)

SCRIPTURE: He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Psalm 91:1-2.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You are not a wastable or destructible material if you are person of prayer.

MESSAGE:

The place of prayer in the life of a child of God cannot be undermined. Prayer is key to stability of life and destiny. This means, to stagger in prayer is to be unstable in life.

In our study today, I will give you two products of prayer.
i. The altar of prayer is the altar of revelation
In Jeremiah 33:3, the Bible says, Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

At the place of prayer, your spiritual eyes can be opened; your understanding can be opened at the place of prayer. Prayer fertilizes spiritual sensitivity. The altar of prayer fertilizes the altar of revelation. For example, it was at the altar of prayer that I got the details of the revelation of my marriage and Ministry. Many things are revealed at the altar of prayer; many things happen at the altar of revelation.

ii. The altar of prayer is the altar of preservation
In Psalm 91:1-2, the Bible says, He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

This means, you are not permitted to be wasted like chicken if you know what it means to pray. The altar of prayer is the altar of preservation. You are not a wastable or destructible material if you are person of prayer.

Remember this: You are not a wastable or destructible material if you are person of prayer.

ASSIGNMENTS:

  1. Connect to the preservation power of God by prayer.
  2. Make up your mind to go up in life by engaging in ceaseless, tireless prayer.

PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You baptise me afresh with the Spirit of prayer. Help me to be vibrant in prayer to experience Divine revelation and preservation, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

AMAZING FACT: Moms-to-be start producing breast milk just 14 weeks into their pregnancy.

PROPHETIC WORD/DECLARATION: The unction for preservation of life and destiny be released upon you and your loved ones in Jesus Name.

DCLM Daily Manna – Wise But Foolish

Pastor W. F. Kumuyi

DCLM Daily Manna 30 September 2022 Devotional By Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Wise But Foolish

 

TOPIC: Wise But Foolish (DCLM Daily Manna 30 September 2022)

TEXT: 1 Corinthians 3:19-23 (KJV)

19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your’s;

22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your’s;

23 And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.

KEY VERSE: “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.” – (1 Corinthians 3:19).

MESSAGE:

As valuable as rubies are, the Bible tells us that wisdom is far better and more valuable. No earthly treasure can compare to the wisdom God gives. Despite the fact that Solomon was a very wise king whose wisdom came from God, he fell into foolish acts when he deviated from the instructions of the Lord. Solomon breached God’s commandments on marriage. He married seven hundred wives and had three hundred concubines, most of whom were of heathen nations that God forbade Israel to marry. Thereafter, he started building shrines for those wives where they burnt incense to their strange gods.

The wisdom of men is foolishness before God, who knows the vanity of their thoughts and deeds. We are, therefore, admonished not to “glory in men”. Believers’ faith must not stand in the wisdom of men, because the wisdom of this world and its princes will come to nought.

God desires that men should have the true wisdom, which makes them think of the brevity of life and of an endless eternity. Today, most people are preoccupied with worldly achievements, which is in line with Bible prophecy that knowledge shall increase at the end of time. Many remarkable feats have been attained in science and technology, space explorations, medicine, etc. However, all these seem to be leading people away from the true wisdom of seeking God and His ways.

The worldly-wise who do not seek the true wisdom of God will lose out at the end of time. Those who are wise today are those who seek Jesus. Have you sought Him? Have you found Him? Sinners can find Him through repentance and faith in His atoning blood.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Worldly wisdom only leads to a regrettable end.

Gospel Singer, Veeki Royce Celebrates Birthday Today

Gospel singer and songwriter, Bandele Kehinde Victoria widely known as Veeki Royce is celebrating her birthday today.

Veeki Royce who used to be a secular artist ventured into the Gospel music scene in 2021 with her debut 5-track extended playlist, “The Call”. Her latest tune, “Oba” is still making massive airplay.

God told me sometimes in March to leave circular music and sing for him. At that moment I know my life changed because I no longer operate in flesh but in the power of God, and I’m glad I obeyed because this is just the beginning. For I have come to stay not as an entertainer but as a minister of the Gospel of Christ, she had revealed.

We could as well say that this is Veeki Royce’s first birthday as a full-fledged Gospel music minister.

We pray you enjoy God’s greater grace this season and always. Happy Birthday! 

 

 

 

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional – Soul-Winning Through Testimonies And Evidence Outreach

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 28 September 2022 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Soul-Winning Through Testimonies And Evidence Outreach

TOPIC: Soul-Winning Through Testimonies And Evidence Outreach (Seeds Of Destiny 28 September 2022)

SCRIPTURE: O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. Psalm 105:1-2.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Making known to the world what God has done is a method of evangelism or soul-winning.

MESSAGE:

Our anchor Scripture reveals that testimonies and evidence outreaches are a powerful method of soul-winning. Making known to the world what God has done is a method of evangelism or soul-winning. That was what the leper in Mark Chapter One did when he was healed by Jesus.

But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter. Mark 1:45

Imagine that! One man’s testimony brought people from every quarter. Testimonies and evidence outreach are crucial keys to the salvation of the lost.

The woman of Samaria was another example.
John 4:28-30 says,
28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

When she gave the testimony of how Jesus saved her, the whole city went out and followed her because of her testimony.

Beloved, the testimony could be your own testimony or another person’s testimony. For example, you could tell someone, “Beloved, something happened in church last week. I was in church and a woman was brought in on a wheelchair. After the message, the pastor prayed for her and commanded her to walk. To the amazement of all, she got up from her wheelchair and began to walk.”

Do you know why this is important? Not everybody may be able to preach but everyone can tell a story. Just tell a story; share a testimony and you will win souls for God.

Remember this: Making known to the world what God has done is a method of evangelism or soul-winning.

ASSIGNMENTS:

  1. Don’t hesitate to share the wondrous works of God to relatives, friends, and other loved ones.
  2. Every testimony is a message; therefore, understand the message that every testimony is preaching.

PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to publicise your good works to my generation, in Jesus’ Name.

FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: THE METHOD OR MODALITY OF SOUL-WINNING.

QUOTE: Look at yourself as a weapon, and that means, your testimony matters, your integrity matters, and your message matters, because you are a weapon not just a person. Culled from “THOU ART MY BATTLE AXE” by Dr Paul Enenche.

DAILY BIBLE READING: Habakkuk 2-Zephaniah 1.

AMAZING FACT: On average, your spinal cord stops growing at 4 years old. Your spinal cord, which consists of a bundle of nervous tissue and support cells, is responsible for sending messages from your brain throughout your body.

PROPHETIC WORD/DECLARATION: May the Lord give you and your loved ones, testimonies that will draw multitudes unto Himself in Jesus Name.

DCLM Daily Manna – All Hail The Marvellous Creator

Pastor W. F. Kumuyi

DCLM Daily Manna 28 September 2022 Devotional By Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — All Hail The Marvellous Creator

TOPIC: All Hail The Marvellous Creator (DCLM Daily Manna 28 September 2022)

TEXT: Hebrews 1:1-10 (KJV)

1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

KEY VERSE: “And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands.” – (Hebrews 1:10).

MESSAGE:

In the year 2020, astronomers using the hubble space telescope discovered a new star and caused a lot of excitement in scientific circles. According to them, this star, which they named “Icarus”, is said to be located at 13.4 billion light years from the earth. So, the distance of “Icarus” from the earth is 10.915 trillion kilometres, multiplied by 13.4 billion! Remember, that is not yet up to heaven. But the angels can come from heaven to the earth in a matter of seconds! (Daniel 10:12,13). Such is the power of God.

Our text reveals the majesty of God and the glorious image inherent in His Son “whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds”. Christ is portrayed as the “brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person”. He is our Propitiator who had by Himself “purged our sins, [and] sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high”. Christ’s throne is forever and a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of His kingdom. He laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and will fold them up eventually while He remains ever the same.

The wonders of God’s creations are a great beauty to behold. He made the angels, and all men, the rising and setting sun, the golden moonlight, the beautiful roses, the waterfalls, the vast oceans, the gentle breeze we enjoy as we relax, the rain showers that soften the ground and make it bring forth and bud, the animal kingdom, the vast vegetation, the star filled night sky, etc. These are just a part of what our wonderful Creator has made. He gave us eyes to see them and lips that we might tell how great the Almighty, who has done all things well, is.

Therefore, believers need to adore God to whom they owe their existence. An attitude of gratitude is always pleasing to Him as it makes us to praise Him. There is no sweeter song in His ear than the song of one who blesses Him. If you can only praise God today, you will experience marvellous things that will utterly astonish you.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Praising God is a mark of gratitude.

TREM Devotional – God’s Plans For You Will Not Be Truncated

Dr. Mike Okonkwo TREM

Wisdom For The Day Devotional 27 September 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – God’s Plans For You Will Not Be Truncated

TOPIC: God’s Plans For You Will Not Be Truncated (TREM Devotional 27 September 2022)

“When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.” John 11:4 (KJV)

MESSAGE:

I believe that God has great and robust plans for everyone. He has great plans for you in your business, in your marriage, in your health, in your financial life, and different areas of your life. God started the journey of your life. It is not you who started it. He started it and He will perfect it.

According to the account in the book of John chapter 11, Jesus was invited by Martha and Mary to come and lay hands on Lazarus who was sick unto death. And Jesus delayed a bit before He finally decided to go there. When He arrived, Martha said: “…Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.” (John 11:21 KJV). In other words, Martha was telling Jesus that His late coming has brought a hopeless situation to her and her sister.

Beloved, our God is the Alpha and the Omega. He is the resurrection and the life Himself. He is God all by Himself and He is never limited by distance, space, or any condition. He can turn any situation around. He can turn any challenge around. No matter how bad and no matter how tough it is, the God that you and I serve can turn it around. No matter how devastating your condition is and no matter how hopeless, God knows how to turn a hopeless situation around.

When Jesus got to the tomb of Lazarus, He did the unusual and the bad situation was turned around. “And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.” (John 11:43-44 KJV).

Lazarus’ future was not truncated in the grave.

His future was secured even in the grave. God’s plan for us can never fail no matter the situation.

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional – Accessing Spiritual Information And Understanding By Praying In The Spirit

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 27 September 2022 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Accessing Spiritual Information And Understanding By Praying In The Spirit

TOPIC: Accessing Spiritual Information And Understanding By Praying In The Spirit (Seeds Of Destiny 27 September 2022)

SCRIPTURE: What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. 1 Corinthians 14:15.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When you pray in the Spirit, you saturate your spirit with information and understanding.

MESSAGE:

The Scripture makes it clear that praying in the Spirit irrigates the spirit of man with information and understanding.

When you pray in the Spirit, you saturate your spirit with information and understanding. The more you pray in the Spirit, the more lighted you become.

Oral Roberts said it was by praying in tongues and praying in understanding that he realised he was to build the Oral Roberts University.

Praying in the Spirit irrigates the spirit of man with information and understanding.

1 Corinthians 14:15 says,
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

As you continue to pray in the Spirit, a time will come when you begin to have depths of understanding. I began to operate in the prophetic realm many years ago after praying in the Spirit. In the closet, I prayed in the Spirit for a long time to a point where I began to speak in English, the things I didn’t mediate on. Words were coming to me spontaneously as if I was speaking in tongues.

So, you can pray in the Spirit and also pray in understanding. Praying abundantly in the Spirit is key to Divine Direction.

Beloved, receive the grace to pray abundantly in the Spirit, in Jesus’ Name.

Remember this: When you pray in the Spirit, you saturate your spirit with information and understanding.

ASSIGNMENTS:

  1. Saturate your spirit with Divine information by praying in the Spirit.
  2. Make praying in the Spirit your habit.

PRAYER: Lord, I ask for the grace and passion to pray consistently in the Spirit. Pour on me the Spirit of prayer and supplication, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: You cannot just face your congregation and neglect your generation. Every Ministry should have the nation where she operates as a major intercessory prayer agenda. Culled from “THOU ART MY BATTLE AXE” by Dr Paul Enenche.

AMAZING FACT: Sixty percent of the human brain is made of fat. Not only does that make it the fattiest organ in the human body, but these fatty acids are crucial for your brain’s performance. Make sure you’re fuelling it appropriately with healthy, brain-boosting nutrients.

DCLM Daily Manna – The All In All

Pastor W. F. Kumuyi

DCLM Daily Manna 27 September 2022 Devotional By Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — The All In All

TOPIC: The All In All (DCLM Daily Manna 27 September 2022)

TEXT: Colossians 1:10-19 (KJV)

10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

KEY VERSE: “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him” (Colossians 1:16).

MESSAGE:

In the world today, some rulers are described as despots, imperial majesties, royal highnesses, paramount rulers, field marshal or grand commanders. We have acclaimed world powers with veto powers and authority, and eminent personalities distinguished with highest order, yet they cannot be classified as “The All in All”. They are all subject to laws of nature and limitations in different spheres of life. The likes of Pharaoh, Sennacherib, Nebuchadnezzar and Herod with acclaimed absolute powers and prowess were humiliated by God.

In Christ Jesus, we find the One who is the All in All. “In whom we have redemption through his blood”; “by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him”. Truly, He is the All in All. He “is before all things, and by Him all things consist… and in him should all fulness dwell”.

The understanding of these facts in our passage made Apostle Paul, among other things, to passionately pray for the believers in Colosse, that they might walk worthy of the Lord and be fruitful in every good work while they increase in the knowledge of God.

Anyone who is saved by Christ cannot continue in his sinful ways. Rather, once he understands the ultimate sacrifice God made for him, he should respond with a grateful desire to please Him in all things.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Christ’s preeminence demands eminent lifestyle.

In the video shared by the Gospel music minister, it was also seen that the vehicle involved in the accident got burnt. 

Speaking on these testimonies, Dunsin Oyekan wrote: “THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY! So many deliverances from car accidents… To God alone be all the Glory for this great deliverance!

A friend sent me how God delivered his wife from a car accident yesterday, the car got burnt… Another brother sent me his testimony of God’s deliverance, the same type. His car too got burnt but they are both alive and doing well!

This is indeed the Finger of God! Devil Dey para in this season but he’s always coming late.

I decree in Jesus’ name, the Finger of God will show up for you in this season!”.

TREM Devotional – Rebuke The Voice Of The Storm

Dr. Mike Okonkwo TREM

Wisdom For The Day Devotional 26 September 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Rebuke The Voice Of The Storm

TOPIC: Rebuke The Voice Of The Storm (TREM Devotional 26 September 2022)

“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.” Mark 4:39 (KJV)

MESSAGE:

The storms of life speak in different areas of your lives. And many times you will hear the voice asking you: Now that everything is fallen apart around you, what are you going to do? The voice of storms comes in different ways. You can begin to hear such voices like: “You are not going to make it out of this hospital. I’m going to ensure that you die on the theatre table. You will never find another job. You will never pass the examinations. Let me see how you are going to get another job. Don’t you see that this marriage is not going anywhere? Your business will never expand. It has come to an end for you. Let me see how you are going to bounce back. You are finished. This situation has finished you. You are not going to ever make it”

All these are voices of the storm that are speaking to you. Yes, you have wonderful ideas but where are you going to get the money? Where are you going to get the capital to start? And it keeps on speaking interminably. You’ve been in this relationship for so long, what have you gained from it? Don’t you see that no one likes you? These are the types of voices you hear each time from the storms of life you face and it’s always very loud. Louder than any other voice around you. Everyone is talking about you, so you better run away. Don’t even continue. Quit! You are a failure and you will never amount to anything…

Beloved, when the storms of life begin to speak loud and clear, understand that it is as a result of where God is taken you. Therefore, refuse to listen to the voice of the storms. If you must silence the voice of the storm, you must not repeat what it is telling you. Rebuke the storm! Speak the Word to it! Every storm bows to the authority of the Word.

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional – The Salvation Of Multitudes, An Honour To God

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 26 September 2022 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: The Salvation Of Multitudes, An Honour To God

TOPIC: The Salvation Of Multitudes, An Honour To God (Seeds Of Destiny 26 September 2022)

SCRIPTURE: In the multitude of people is the king’s honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince. Proverbs 14:28.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: …if multitudes are pulled in the direction of God more than in the direction of the enemy of God, it is an honour to God.

MESSAGE:

One reason why soul-winning is necessary is that the salvation of souls brings honour to God. The salvation of multitudes brings honour to the Almighty.

Proverbs 14:28 says,
In the multitude of people is the king’s honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

God is honoured when multitudes gather in His Presence. In the multitude of people is the king’s honour but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

Now, think of how embarrassing it is for someone to have an occasion and nobody showed up. Think of how embarrassing it would be to someone, for his children to attend the occasion of his enemy and decide to be absent from his own occasion. This is how it is if multitudes follow the devil instead of God. It is a dishonour to the Creator.

But if multitudes are pulled in the direction of God more than in the direction of the enemy of God, it is an honour to God. While Jesus was on earth, everywhere he went, multitudes followed Him. So, multitudes bring honour to God. Crowded assemblies bring honour to God. The gathering of crowd in God’s presence confirms to God who is in charge.

Beloved, make up your mind to give honour to your Maker by pulling crowd to the Kingdom of God. Make up your mind to win souls.

Remember this: …if multitudes are pulled in the direction of God more than in the direction of the enemy of God, it is an honour to God.

ASSIGNMENTS:

  1. Go to the street and compel people to follow you to church.
  2. Take soul-winning as your personal mandate from heaven.

PRAYER: Father, I receive fresh grace to compel men to the Kingdom through soul-winning. Deliver me from every lethargic attitude to soul-winning, Lord in Jesus’ Name.
