Oluwafemi .The Word of God is a light to my Path.

  The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. Deuteronomy 28:8, NIV Everything You Put Your Hand To The blessing is an anointing on your life, which means God has marked you or set you apart. You are marked for favor—that’s where people are good to you and don’t even know why, where doors open that weren’t supposed to open, where you get promoted when you weren’t the next in line. You are marked for opportunity to come looking for you. You’re marked to excel in whatever environment you’re in—whether people are for you or against you, whether the economy is up or down, whether you’re getting good breaks or doors have closed. The blessing is the reason you keep rising up when circumstances try to keep you down. The blessing doesn’t stop the adversity, but it causes you to triumph in the trouble. With His blessing, deep down you know that God being for you is more than what’s trying to stop you. Now do your part and have this blessed mindset. Ge...

  Feed Your Soul Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:6–7 “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.” (ESV) Proper growth only comes from God. As we grow in Christ, our focus becomes sharper with a greater comprehension of what Christ wants us to do in this world. We also want to make sure that any “growth” we experience is growth sourced in God. The proper place to start the growth process is stated by Peter,  “As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby.”  (1 Peter 2:2, NKJV) Without proper nourishment, we cannot grow. In Kingdom of God we strongly emphasize the importance of absorbing the Word of God to make it personally operative in our lives for the purpose of empowering and transforming us into cultivating the desire to become strategic kingdom investors. Furthermore, through the Word we discover our design, purpose, and work God has for us ...

  Introduction 1 Peter 2:11–25: Today’s reading, framed by the context of the Roman Empire, reflects the challenges Christians faced in that pagan culture and its prevalent “household codes.” The author instructs believers to respect civil authorities, thereby demonstrating good conduct while, at the same time, living as free people and as “God’s slaves.” Today’s Key Verse: 1 Peter 2:24 GNT Christ himself carried our sins in his body to the cross, so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness. Read 11  I appeal to you, my friends, as strangers and refugees in this world! Do not give in to bodily passions, which are always at war against the soul.  12  Your conduct among the heathen should be so good that when they accuse you of being evildoers, they will have to recognize your good deeds and so praise God on the Day of his coming. 13  For the sake of the Lord submit yourselves to every human authority: to the Emperor, who is the supreme authority, ...

  Be on the Lookout Scripture: Revelation 22:20 “He who testifies to these things says, ‘Surely I am coming quickly.’ Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!”  (NKJV) As the Creator, God is always on the move. The landscape of “circumstances” of the world are constantly changing. Opportunities come and go. Scripture emphasizes the brevity of life many times:  “And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.”  (Romans 13:11–12, NKJV) This is an exhortation we had better listen to in order to be prepared! We are to be on high alert:  “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.”  (Matthew 25:13, NKJV) Without question, Jesus Christ is returning to this world. This coming event can happen at any tim...

  Introduction 1 Peter 2:1–10: As “living stones,” Christians are not only God’s temple, but also the priests who offer spiritual sacrifices to him. They are God’s people because they have received God’s mercy. Today’s Key Verse: 1 Peter 2:9 GNT You are the chosen race, the King’s priests, the holy nation, God’s own people, chosen to proclaim the wonderful acts of God, who called you out of darkness into his own marvelous light. Read 2 Rid yourselves, then, of all evil; no more lying or hypocrisy or jealousy or insulting language.  2  Be like newborn babies, always thirsty for the pure spiritual milk, so that by drinking it you may grow up and be saved.  3  As the scripture says, “You have found out for yourselves how kind the Lord is.” 4  Come to the Lord, the living stone rejected by people as worthless but chosen by God as valuable.  5  Come as living stones, and let yourselves be used in building the spiritual temple, where you will serve...

Are You a Pen Filled With Ink? Scripture: Psalm 45:1, ESV “ My heart overflows with a pleasing theme; I address my verses to the king; my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe. ” (Psalm 45:1, ESV) We use this key verse in KingdomNomics to help us with the concepts of SOAK, SOW, and FLOW. As we soak our heart in the Word of God and recite our verses to the King, the Spirit causes our heart to overflow with spiritual nourishment. This discipline strengthens our inner person so Christ can prompt us to help continue his ministry in this world. Let’s focus on the word “pen” mentioned in the verse. You and I are like pens. A pen is an instrument used to communicate a message to others. Without ink, the pen is useless. The Spirit can be like the ink needed for a pen to function. In order for us to be “pens” or instruments God can use to continue “writing his story” to this generation, we need to be filled with the ink of the Holy Spirit. (We do this through SOAK, SOW, and FLOW principle ex...
