Haste wastes, Patience pays

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31 KJV)  Hurrying has become the sword with which many destinies have been slaughtered. Many find God's time as utopian, a waste - this of course is fueled by the ignorance of the word of God and or the deliberate decision to ignore God's word. Either way, it destroys. Everything might look ok, but we must discern if it is the time. The caterpillar must patiently wait to be still in its cocoon before it can become a butterfly. The egg must allow incubation to be completed before it brings forth the chick.  Moses took 80yrs, Elisha served patiently, Jesus, though the Son of God waited 30yrs before ministry.  So why are you in a haste? Allow God 

Golden vs Willing Vessels

Golden vs Willing Vessels  The Lord seeks willing vessels who will obey and execute His commands all the days of their lives. Not the perfect. Not the qualified Not the golden He qualifies the called, makes perfect the imperfect and turns the earthen vessel to golden vessels - day by day as they walk under the shadow of His presence. Prayer: Lord, I consciously & deliberately surrender my life to You, make me whatever You desire of me in Jesus name

Daily Fountain for 7th July, 2020

THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION) DATE: TUESDAY 7TH JULY, 2020 TOPIC: CONTRADICTING THE GOSPEL TEXT: ACTS 13:44-52 44. On the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God. 45. But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy; and contradicting and blaspheming, they opposed the things spoken by Paul. 46. Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, "It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. 47. "For so the Lord has commanded us: 'I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.' " 48. Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed. 49. And the word of the Lord was being spread throug...

Understanding Your Mandate: Know Your Place in Christ

It was my wedding night. I was so tired, I needed a bath and a rest.  We had danced so much my back was aching.  My husband was beginning to have funny ideas. He was beaming like a new born baby. Well, I wouldn't  blame him; any man in his position would not joke with this night because I was a warrior during our courtship". No... no hugging, no pecking, no holding, no touching, no tapping current, no weather for two,  Sexual purity till my marriage was top on my list. The Knock came. I was thinking, half past eleven (11:30pm). Is that room service, I wondered. Then, with eyes popping. I heard my mother in-law's iron like voice: "Tise, Micheal, open the door". Micheal jumped up from the bed, rushed to the door and opened it  for his mum. My Mother in-law walked in, sat down majestically and asked us to sit down too. "Tise, I don't know if anyone ever told you? There is a curse on my husband's family line. The men in their family don't prosp...

THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION) DATE: FRIDAY 8 JUNE, 2018 TOPIC: THE LAW OF SOWING AND REAPING IS REAL! TEXT: 1 KINGS 2:26-35 26. And to Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your own fields, for you are deserving of death; but I will not put you to death at this time, because you carried the ark of the Lord God before my father David, and because you were afflicted every time my father was afflicted.” 27. So Solomon removed Abiathar from being priest to the Lord , that he might fulfill the word of the Lord which He spoke concerning the house of Eli at Shiloh. 28. Then news came to Joab, for Joab had defected to Adonijah, though he had not defected to Absalom. So Joab fled to the tabernacle of the Lord , and took hold of the horns of the altar. 29. And King Solomon was told, “Joab has fled to the tabernacle of the Lord ; there he  is, by the altar.” Then Solomon sent Benaiah the...

Strong Habits Start Small

Dear Saint, I have come to realize that many people fail in the Christian life because we want to go to bed in Egypt and wake up in Canaan; become converted in the morning and become a patriarch by noon. But it is not so. God created time and allows it to process us into maturity - through trials, temptations, from little steps to great strides, from feeding on spiritual milk to eating meat, from a new convert to a great witness of the Kingdom. So, start small and grow. Start each day with the study of verses/chapters of scriptures, with at least 30minutes of prayers and intercessions; then grow to the level of finishing chapters and books of the Bible, to spending hours in the place of prayers.           If thy children have sinned against him,           and he have cast them away for their                   transgression; Though thy beginning was        ...
