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

Our Power Drink for the Day “ For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. ” (Psalm 36:9) In the game of football, all the players on each team try to keep the opposite team from carrying the ball across the goal line. Many times they drink a power drink to aid them in their efforts. We know that Satan is doing his best to disrupt our lives and divert our attention from achieving the goals God has for us. It is only through God’s Word that we can drink the  POWER DRINK  we need to feed and energize us for the day. As we walk through this spiritually dark world, his word is a lamp to our feet. When we sit in darkness, the Lord is our light, and in his light we see light. Because life is such a battle, it is critical that we “drink” as much of his Word as possible. God’s Word is living and powerful, quenching the thirst of those who trust in it. Today, ask yourself: Am I taking time to POWER UP with the Word of God?

The LORD rewarded me for doing right. He has seen my innocence. Psalm 18:24 Closer Than You Think In Psalm 18, David says that God rescued him from powerful enemies “in the day of my disaster” because he kept doing the right thing when it was hard. God sees when you’ve been good to people who aren’t good to you, when you stay on the high road instead of paying people back. God is saying, “I’m about to settle your account. I’m about to vindicate you, promote you, and suddenly turn things around.” You won’t see it coming, but suddenly He’s going to thrust you to a new level, thrust you to abundance, thrust you into greater influence, honor, opportunity. You’re going to come out with much more than those who try to stop you.   You are closer to your payback than you think. Don’t get tired of doing the right thing. Your due season is coming. The unfair situation, the bad break, or the people who left you out never go unnoticed. God sees your innocence, your faithfulness. When God ...

Be an Impact Player “But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to…”  (Numbers 14:24, NIV) In American football, certain players are designated as  impact players . They are players who make a difference in a material way. They are outstanding, enabling their team to be more effective. They are very focused on their mission. Unlike most of the world, they are on their field of life to make a difference. They want to win, and they give everything they have to accomplish their goal. Caleb, one of the spies sent to spy out the Promised Land, was an impact player. The Bible tells us he was a man of a different spirit who wholeheartedly followed the Lord. He was not a lukewarm, indifferent, casual believer. He believed that God could do anything through him. He was on a mission. Because he gave a favorable report based on his faith in God, Caleb was one of the few of his generation whom God allowed to en...

Tod iptur When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” John 11:32 When God Is Late What do you do when God shows up late and your brother Lazarus dies? You prayed, you believed, but the problem didn’t turn around, the business didn’t make it, the relationship ended. Mary couldn’t believe that Jesus had not come in time and took it that He didn’t care, but Jesus had something better in mind than a healing. He was bringing a resurrection. Sometimes the reason God delays is because He’s going to do something better than what you think, something bigger, more rewarding. You have to trust God when you don’t see anything happening. You have to believe when heaven is silent. He’s working behind the scenes. If you will be patient, every blessing that has your name on it will find you, and it’s going to be much better than you think. The delay is a sign that God is up to something big. He’s ...

Follow the Smart Money “…But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven….”  (Matthew 6:20) You can have an eternal 401 (k). Yes, it lasts forever! Yes, it is guaranteed. The returns are fantastic!  In fact, they are beyond our human ability to measure. In this world crowds of people follow “stock tips.” They follow what they perceive to be “smart money” and invest in companies for which they have little or no information. Most of the time this type of investing results in losses. Jesus gives us an “eternal investment tip.” He says the smart money of this world will be sure to invest in treasures in heaven. He also says we should use the unrighteous mammon (money) of this world to win friends for eternity! Yes, you can take it with you by investing it in the world to come. You can only do this by sending it ahead by giving or investing in the kingdom while you are in this world. Just think; he is giving us the opportunity to trade the paper currencies of this world, which will b...

Tod ay's Scripture After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. Job 42:16, NIV After This There are forty-two chapters in the book of Job, and all forty-two focus on the difficulties he went through—the loss of his business, his children, his health, and the accusations of his friends. It seems like this struggle was his whole life, but “after this” Job lived over a hundred and forty good years and experienced great joy with his children and grandchildren. God is showing us that the trouble is temporary, that it’s not going to last forever. You may be in a difficult time, but that’s not how your story ends. That loss is not going to define you. That sickness is not going to ruin the rest of your life. That person who walked away, that bad break, or the unfair situation is not going to stop your purpose. God has an “after this” for you. After the trouble, there’s going to be great joy in your life. After the loss, ...

Are You Being Transformed? “ Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. ” (Romans 12: 2) God is in the life changing business. He wants to transform us into being more Christlike in all areas of our life. The first step occurs when we place our  faith and trust in Christ alone  to be our personal Lord and Savior. This is a huge step of faith for us to take. All other religions have people attempt to reach God through works of self-effort, trusting in themselves rather than trusting in the person of Jesus Christ alone to save them. Only the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. In Kingdom of God we learn to exercise the same faith when it comes to living the Christian life. Only Christ can live it through us, because we do not have that power in and of ourselves to live it. The experience of this life is a process beginni...
