TOPIC: THE GBR STUDY: THE COST OF HEAVEN!

BASIC SCRIPTURE:
JOHN 3:1 -16.

There is a question in the mind of many Americans, and that is: How much does it cost to live comfortably? In an attempt by Americans to answer this question, they often use a rule of thumb called the 50/30/20 rule of budgeting. This rule says that half of your income (50%) should go to necessities, 20% to savings and investments and 30% to splurges (extravagant spending) and fun.

In order to answer this same question, GoBanking Rates.com (GBR), an American company that operates an extensive network of financial web properties, did a study on how much is needed to live comfortably in each of America’s 50 largest metropolis based on the cost of living in each city. It used Zillow (an online real estate database company with headquarters in Washington) to calculate housing costs in each city and Sperling Best Places (a website that offers information about cities) to estimate other necessities like transportation, groceries and health care. The result was mindboggling. To give a few instances, they came up with the following results.

To Iive in Atlanta, you need per annum an average income of $51, 701; if you are a home owner S88,607$ and if you have to pay rent, S88,151: Austin (Texas) $63,717; Boston $62,021. At the end of the day, the study concluded that the average income of a worker in each of the major cities in the United States will make it impossible to live comfortably in these 50 cities without making cuts. The summary of this is that you must cut costs to live comfortably in these cities. Whereas to live comfortably in cities across America comes at different costs, the good news is that for those who want to make heaven their home at the end of their sojourn here on earth, the rate is the same.

The fact is that it does not even cost money to live in heaven; all that it costs is just a change of heart and lifestyle. The journey to living in heaven begins with a life of total surrender to Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. Today’s scripture says, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man is born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” (Verse 5). The terms are as simple as that. Secondly, living in heaven comes with a life of commitment to holy living. Heaven will not admit the unholy. “And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie; but they which are written in the Book of Life” (Rev 21:27).

Apostle Paul wrote this to the Corinthians: “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Cor. 6:9-10). Heaven is a city that is incomparable to none here on earth. The streets are paved with gold: and there is neither day nor night. Depression, hardship, Coronavinus, Ebola, HIV, diabetes, etc, (Sickness and diseases), natural disasters, accidents and any other thing contrary to human existence are not found therein.

Peradventure you have used this devotional for years without having surrendered to Christ, here is your opportunity to do so. See page 28 now and pray those prayers! The essence of our worship is to make it to the city that costs no money to live in. Let no sin, relationship or life’s battles stop you! See you someday in heaven!

TOPIC: I DON’T KNOW HOW HE DID IT!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: PROVERBS 23: 7 - 18.

“I am Esther Caleb (names hidden by me Dr Chris, on request). Join me to praise the LORD!!! I have been asking GOD for a miracle l don’t deserve concerning my C.G.P.A; to the Glory of God, HE has answered my prayer tonight.

My testimony looks too good to be true, Indeed I have been asking myself, Is this real? Well, JEHOVAH OVERDO has elevated me from 3.47 to 4.57 and now I am a first class graduate from Lagos State University. I don’t know how HE did it, but I am just super happy right now. I always meditate on Luke 1:37 and Matthew 19:26. GOD IS THE GOD OF IMPOSSIBILITIES. He makes all impossibility possible. GOD who can raise someone from the dead after being buried for four days (Lazarus), who can divide the sea, what can HE not do? That’s not the only thing, He has answered every of my heart’s desires even beyond my expectations. GOD IS GREAT!

I don’t know what whosoever is reading my testimony is going through Just have Faith, pray without any doubt and believe God will answer you even beyond your expectations. Anybody that says God does not exist and HE doesn’t answer prayers is unwise! God is real and HE answers prayers perfectly in the right way at the best time. He is indeed the GOD OF PERFECTION. Praise the Lord! (Please do not disclose my name or e-mail)” – (sent to orderodm@gmailcom)

Sometimes it is Wisdom not to disclose everything about your person! But note what she wrote: “My testimony looks too good to be true. Indeed I have been asking myself, is this real?” The Holy Ghost is an IMPOSSIBILITY SPECIALIST! He is the MANUFACTURER OF THE INCREDIBLE! She also wrote: “I don’t know how HE did it.” Indeed, in this second half of 2020, FORGET ABOUT THE “HOW” or the “WHEN.” Just Trust! How you will get married is not your business! Believe you will get married! How you will get your EXPECTATIONS to MANIFEST is not your business! It is the business of He that said: “For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off (Prov. 23:18).

You will declare to the world very soon: I DON’T KNOW HOW HE DID IT! You are next to testify! Shout 14 Hallelujahs now as we pray! Hold on and hold out! (I am led to tell you to give out at least 5 EXTRA ODM COPIES within the next days. God will surprise your obedience). Send your testimony to orderodm@gmail.com

TOPIC: WHY GOD IS SPARING THEM!

BASIC SCRIPTURES: PSALM 23:1 - 6;
GENESIS 4: 25.

Gen. 4: 13 reminds us: “And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.” Wow! Oh, the wisdom of God! God made sure that Cain EXPERIENCED SLOW DEATH! His punishment was greater than he could bear! That means GRACE was withdrawn from him for life! It was better for him to have died than lived! Listen: Nobody offends you and goes free! They will go through battles that will make them call for, and wish for death, but DEATH WILL NOT COME!

That is why VENGEANCE BELONGS TO GOD! He knows how to serve REVENGE TO YOUR HATERS than you can do in a million years! God kept CAIN ALIVE in order for him to see raw pain and in order for him to reap agony before his final departure from planet earth. Ah! Many times God will not kill your enemies. He will make sure they see your glory before they depart from this earth. Remember Psalm 23: 5: – “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.” ABEL’S CUP RAN OVER! CAIN saw ABEL’S glory because he suddenly discovered that DIVINE SPECIAL FAVOUR (his reason for envying Abel) was real on the earth and yet it could not locate him!

Your haters will live to see you RISE! They will live to see their evil plans fall like a pack of cards! Cain killed Abel in order to win God’s special favour! But he lost it! Oh, thank you LORD! Gen 4:25 says: “And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: “For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.” So CAIN lived to see SETH who replaced ABEL! THAT WAS HOW ABEL’S CUP RAN OVER! It was SETH who became like the 2nd ABEL!

So you can imagine the AGONY OF CAIN in seeing that God passed over him and chose SETH! It was SETH’s generation that began to call upon the name of the LORD again as in the days of ABEL! Oh, glory to God! Open your mouth now and begin to praise and worship the LORD!

TOPIC: FROM CHILD ABUSE VICTIM TO A LAWYER: MAKE YOUR LIFE COUNT!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: MATTHEW 5: 38-48.

A female Facebook user in Nigeria took to social media and made this statement, “Your life is what you make of it”. She then went on to tell the story of her life. According to the story, she was abandoned by her mother at the age of 7 months, Her father and stepmother were left to take care of her. Her stepmother (now late), subjected her to all manner of maltreatnment.

Many times, she underwent starvation. COUNT! he would go without food, not Just for hours, but several times for days until she saw death staring her in the face. On one occasion, she was so hungry that she had to eat the leftover food of their dog which she was supposed to discard (throw away). As God would have it, their neighbor’s son caught her eating the dog’s leftover food. The young man told his mother what had happened. That evening, the boy’s mother invited her for questioning to ascertain if what her son had told her was true.

She was so terrified that she begged the woman not to tell her stepmother, because if she did, she would be beaten severely. When the woman learnt of her plight, she promised to give her food everyday, a promise she kept until they changed accommodation, without the knowledge of her stepmum. Apart from starvation, she underwent capital punishment. She said she was flogged mercilessly several times until she fainted. Her stepmum applied pepper on different parts of her body including her private part, eyes, armpits and neck.

She was sometimes abandoned in one of the toilets in the house for hours without food. She was forced to pray often for death, which never came. Despite all she went through, something good went for her; she was brilliant and cherished education.

She knew within her that a sure way out of her many troubles was for her to become successful in her academics. And she did. Today, she is a proud and beautiful lawyer. She is living her life devoid of all that she went through in her childhood days.

She refused to be chained to her PAST! Rather, she chose to embrace positivity, forgiveness, kindness, peace and love. We all have a PAST and we all have struggles! Many, if not all, have one ugly story or the other to tell about their past or present life. You must never allow the past to drown your tomorrow because your life is your message to the world. You must make sure its inspiring!

The young lady of today’s story became a lawyer out of her ugly past. She refused the negative! Close with Alan Moore: “The past can’t hurt you anymore, not unless you let it.” Put your ugly past behind you; forgive those who have hurt you or despitifully used you as seen in today’s scripture and make your life count! Pray now. (Give out ODM copies and tie a testimony to it! Watch out for the answer!)

I AM A COWARD! I AM A COWARD! I AM A COWARD!-1

BASIC SCRIPTURE:
JOB 3: 20 - 26.

It was Nelson Mandela of blessed memory who noted: “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear, “One cowardly person came to a master of martial arts and asked to teach him bravery. The master looked at him and said: “I will teach you only with one condition: one month, you will have to live in a big city and tell about 100 persons that you meet on your way that you are a coward.

You will have to say it loudly, openly and looking straight into the person’s eyes. For a couple of days, he was very sad and thoughtful, but to live with his cowardice was so unbearable that he travelled to the city to accomplish his mission. At first, when meeting the passerbys, he stammered, lost his speech and couldn’t contact anyone. But he needed to finish the master’s task, so he began to overcome himself. When he came up to his first passerby to tell him about his cowardice, it seemed to him that he would die from fear. But his voice sounded louder and more confident with every passing day.

Suddenly came a moment, when the man caught himself thinking that he’s not scared anymore, and the further he continued doing the master’s task, the more convinced he was that the fear was abandoning him.

After a month, he returned back to the master, bowed to him and said: “Thank you, teacher. I finished your task. Now I’m not afraid anymore. But how did you know that this strange task will help me? The teacher replied: “The thing is that cowardice is only a habit. Now you know that bravery – id also a habit. And if you want to make bravery a part of yourself – you need to move forward to confront what you fear.” Wow! CONFRONTING YOUR FEAR! For the best way to conquer a plane crash is to keep flying! Ah!

WHATEVER YOU FEAR HAPPENS TO YOU! Yes! Job said it in Job 3:25 “For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come upon me. He was saying (paraphrased), “I feared a fear, and it came upon me. “Being brave isn’t the absence of fear. Being brave is having that fear but finding a way through it” (Bear Grylls). Walk by faith and not by fear! (TO BE CONTINUED TOMORROW).

I AM A COWARD! I AM A COWARD! I AM A COWARD! -2

BASIC SCRIPTURE: PSALM 27: 1 - 6.

Remember the story of the cowardly person who came to his master of martial arts and asked to teach him bravery (yesterday’s devotional). The Holy Ghost is still speaking to you against FEAR! Fear moves you from faith and when that happens, your HEDGE IS IMMEDIATELY BROKEN!! There are people who are afraid of ending their lives in shame/disgrace!
Some are afraid of ending up in sickness, poverty or DEMOTION! Some people are afraid of car/plane crashes, divorce, rise and fall, evil lurking in darkness, betrayals (afraid to fall or marry), etc; but the Holy Ghost wants you to be reminded that WHATEVER YOU FEAR WILL EVENTUALLY HAPPEN TO YOU! FEAR NOTHING BUT GOD! Listen: WHEN YOU FEAR ANYTHING YOU MAKE THAT THING OR PERSON YOUR IDOL and that idol breaks your HEDGE OF PROTECTION because whatever is not of faith is a SIN (Romans 14: 23)! That is why whatever you fear automatically happens! Refuse to LVE IN FEAR OF ANYTHING, person or event because FEAR IS A HEDGE BREAKER! Deut 3:22 says: “Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God, He shall fight for you.”

Then Isaiah 8:12 says: “Say ye not, ‘A confederacy,’ to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.” DONT FEAR WHAT OTHERS ARE FEARING! You will ESCAPE! ALWAYS DECLARE THAT YOUR CASE IS DIFFERENI! The LORD is speaking to 21, 011 users of today’s devotional concerning dealing with FEAR! Some are afraid of anything related to DEATH! Ah, as I write now, I have just been shown 15 ODM users who have been dreaming of burying their children. Fear not! Oh, thank you Jesus! See Isaiah 8:13: Sanctify the LORD of hosts Himself, and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread.”

Wow! Pray over everything and leave the rest to your God. LET HIM ALONE BE YOUR FEAR Psalm 27: 1 says: “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Declare that verse and that Psalm weekly! Ralph Emerson commented on this: “Do the thing we fear, and death of fear is certain.” Douglas Horton penned: “Action cures fear, inaction creates terror. Hear Joyce Meyer: “The eagle has no fear of adversity.

We need to be like the eagle and have a fearless spirit of a conqueror! Then close with the great Ricky Martin: “You just have to get rid of fear and confront the world. Look at yourself in the mirror and say to yourself, I love you and nothing will destroy you and you’re not going to fall.” Yes! Move from fear to faith daily!

TOPIC: THE THREE HOURS THAT SHOOK THE EARTH!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: MATTHEW 27: 45 - 54.

Welcome to today’s devotional! Sometimes in life, before a major breakthrough, there will be a major breakdown. Yes, sometimes, before a major testimony, there will be a season of tears. Such is life and that is the story of my life! Most breakthroughs I have seen in my life have always come after a major crisis. And what the Holy Ghost wants you to know is that, no matter the present darkness you may be experiencing right now, light will soon break forth, and when light shows up concerning any area of your life, darkness will bow (John 1:5).

Before God created the earth, there was darkness upon the face of the deep (Gen. 1:2). It was that darkness that provoked the LIGHT (Gen. 1:3). God can do anything with darkness! He can turn it to light. He can squeeze it to dawn or create something beautiful. That’s why you should not be afraid of that darkness (UNSURE FUTURE) confronting you. The term DARKNESS” in this context connotes challenges, difficulties, problems. pain, hurt, tears and battles of life in general. But why does God allow darkness to surface sometimes? Because He does not want the devil to know His next plan!

Darkness is God’s raw material to remould and remake your destiny. God uses darkness to recreate and re-write your story. Yes! He hid His plan concerning Jesus from the devil (1 Cor. 2:9) and He will blindfold your haters concerning your elevation this year! Vs. 45 of today’s scripture says: NOW from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. Wow! Did you get that? From 12noon to 3pm, darkness covered the whole earth, yes what was supposed to be a HOT AFTERNOON became THICK DARKNESS! I call it “The 3 Hours That Shook the Earth” because GOD HID HIS PLANS OF THE NEW CREATION HE WAS ABOUT TO BEGIN! Yes!

Something new was about to happen! It was that darkness that brought salvation! It was that darkness that blindfolded the kingdom of darkness! That darkness paved the way for a new and living way! I Prophesy: GOD WILL HIDE YOUR SECRET FROM YOUR HATERS! Those mocking your destiny shall grope in darkness and every dark cloud of shame shall miss your address! Yes! Your life and ministry will shock your world because your elevation is not negotiable! Peace! (ODM is the best gift item).

Many times, you think you have perfect control over the past and you leave it confined somewhere, only to have it re-emerge in an unexpected place or at an unexpected time.

Many times when you think you have buried a past mistake/mistakes forever, it tends to rise again in thoughts or used by enemies to haunt you. That was the case of Moses! He killed an Egyptian and thought it was forgotten forever! But one of his fellow Jews resurrected that past event and it turned Moses into a WANTED MAN!

FROM FRANKFURT TO FRANKFURT: DESTINATION ATTACKERS MUST EXPIRE!

BASIC SCRIPTURES: RUTH 1: 14;
ACTS 1: 15 - 26.

On December 27, 2019, Lufthansa Flight 500 was billed to take off from Frankfurt, Germany to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The flight on a Boeing 747 had taken off at 10.55pm, an hour later than planned. As reported by aviation news website, Simple Flying, after about 4 hours into the flight, the crew discovered that there was a leakage in the emergency Oxygen system.

A representative of Lufthansa told Simple Flying that “the cockpit crew noticed a leakage in the Emergency Oxygen System of the passengers.” As soon as the leakage was detected, the pilots brought the airliner’s altitude down to 14,000 feet where oxygen masks would not have been used in the cabin if the cabin lost pressure. Once the pilots reached the altitude, they decided to fly the 373 passengers on board back to Frankfurt. The flight landed back in Frankfurt at 7.23am local time from where it had taken off after spending over hours in the air. I call it, “Operation FRANKFURT to FRANKFURT Journey! Wow! That flight was Lufthansa’s second experience in less than 2 weeks. Wasted effort!

Wasted resources! On December 17th, 2019 a New York-bound flight from Frankfurt had to make a U-turn over the Atlantic because of an issue with its hydraulics. The plane landed miles away from Frankfurt Airport after 8 hour flight. Similarly, a KLM flight in November 2019 from spending hours in the air before returning
to its original airport. The flight to Mexico ended up being an 11 hour flight from Amsterdam back to Amsterdam. Ah! The Holy Ghost wants, you to know that there are powers called, “DESTINATION ATTACKERS!” Like Orpah and Judas, they will allow you to begin a project, but you will never get to your destination/conclusion! Some projects or dreams are dreams without-an-end in sight (bottomless pit projects).

They waste your money, time and resources and they may even waste your life! These planes took off but returned to base! The pilots’ actions are commendable but in spiritual warfare, it is not permitted! You are not permitted to return to your past! God’s agenda for you is from GLORY TO GLORY! Some people dream of seeing themselves in their villages. That stands for serious satanic demotion/setback! Reject it!

Some university graduates dream of seeing themselves in their primary schools instead of dreaming of great scientific or breakthrough secrets for their future. Your hour has come! …

Sometime ago, I told the story of a professor who was known to one of our pastors. The man had built a very beautiful house; as he was almost moving in to live there, he collapsed in front of the house and died. All the efforts he had put in, became fruitless.

In a related story, a man sent his son to school to read Architecture. On the verge of graduation, the young man died. All his efforts of many years became fruitless! If a man marries a woman and puts in everything necessary to have a child, and children refuse to come, that is a marriage without fruit. Oh, that is another case of fruitless efforts plaguing many marriages today. Today’s scripture says God is against fruitless efforts IN ALL YOU DO! Verse 23a says, they shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth children for trouble”. Powers that lead to fruitless efforts make one to dissipate energy without results.

By the grace of God, throughout the rest of this year, your life shall produce Good results in the Name above all names. From now on, you will begin to see results of all your efforts. I pray for a restoration of all the years the locusts have eaten from you. That is where the good news lies. God is able to put an end to fruitless efforts and to give us back the wasted years of fruitlessness. Hear the words of Bill Johnson, “Whenever God restores somethıng, He restores it to a place greater than it was before”. He will put an end to fruitless efforts and restore you to a better and greater position in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINTS: Take Song 1: Christian seek not yet…

TOPIC: SEASON MANIPULATORS!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: PSALM 116:1 - 9.

A young man was going to get married. He was 32 years of age. His friends decided to organize a bachelor’s eve for him. This was on a Thursday night. The wedding was to hold the Saturday of that week. While they were at the bachelor’s eve, the young man told his friends that he needed to go to his uncle’s house which was a few kilometers away to pick the SUV car that he would use for the wedding ceremony which was just two days away. One of his friends drove him to the uncle’s house.

They both picked the SUV successfully. His friend drove the car they went with while he drove the uncle’s SUV. As they entered the freeway (expressway), armed robbers saw the exotic SUV and followed him. They shot him dead on the spot and took away the SUV. Great sorrow followed his untimely death near his season of manifestation. In today’s Word, the Psalmist spoke glowingly about how God had heard his voice and supplications (prayers). Whatever he prayed for was not stated but he was happy because his prayers had been answered (Verses 1 and 2).

Suddenly however, out of the blue, the sorrows of death encompassed him (Verse 3). Thank God because He
delivered his soul from death, wiped away his tears and stopped his feet from falling (Verse 8). This will be your testimony! Nothing shall steal your Joy; sorrow shall be far away from you and the plot of the evil one to turn your hour of happiness to sorrow or death shall be shattered in Jesus name. Untimely death and sorrow are terminated today and hereafter in Jesus name.

Any plan to stop your season of harvest shall scatter! You will not labour for others to eat! Arise now and pray seriously for the next 48 hours: You robbers of my MANIFESTATION HOUR: DIE! DIE!

TOPIC: KILLED AT HIS WEDDING RECEPTION: I WILL EAT THE FRUIT OF MY LABOUR!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: DEUTERONOMY
28 : 15 - 33.

In December 2019, there was a wedding in Chino, a city of Los Angeles, California. The wedding ceremony went very well as the couple were joined in holy matrimony to the admiration of all who were present to witness the event. The reception followed thereafter. The 30 year-old groom fixed the reception in his sister’s backyard. Invited guests danced to music played at the reception.

As this went on, two brothers who lived in the neighbourhood showed up uninvited and managed to gate-crash into the party unnoticed. In the early hours of the morning after guests had been asked to leave, the brothers returned to the party, this time with baseball bats in their hands. A witness who spoke to the Los Angeles station KABC, said the brothers were looking for free alcohol. Their request was turned down and they were asked to leave.

An argument followed and a fight broke out that ended up in a back alleyway. In the end, police were called to the scene around 2am. They found 2 victims with minor injuries. Witnesses told the police that a 3rd person involved in the alteration was missing. In the backyard of another home, they found the groom suffering from a blunt force trauma to his head. The officers started life saving efforts on him before he was rushed to a nearby hospital. Unfortunately, he died there! This was less than 24 hours after his wedding.

A wedding day which was supposed to be one of the happiest days in a man or woman’s life turned out to be a mourning session for his wife and both families. This man died in his season of joy and he was denied the fruit of all his past labour! …

Today’s scripture, Verse 30 says: “Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.” He was saying, you will labour in vain and will never see your day of harvest! That CURSE shall pass over you! Micah 6:15 is on point: “Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.” Again I declare: GOD FORBID! Pray for 3 days: I shall not LABOUR for others to eat! I shall eat my fruit of my labour and I shall see may prayers answers manifest in Jesus name.

Today is Lagos (Ogudu) Anointing Service. Venue: 8-10 Omotayo Banwo Street, Ogudu, Orioke, Lagos. Time: 8am (Nigerian Time).

TOPIC: DEEPER BATTLES (WATERSPOUTS)! DEEPER GRACE!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: PSALM 42: 5 - 11.

Welcome to today’s devotional with the God who is the Master and Controller of the deep; He is in full control of the depths of your life and ministry this year. Sometimes, the ways of God are humanly incomprehensible. Life sometimes responds to us in certain ways we don’t seem to understand.

YOUR VERY PRESENT HELP WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU

Many people give up in life just before their elevation visitation because of the deep nature of their battles. Oh! I am led to repeat this again: Some battles indeed can be very deep. When battles are deep, it means they are bigger than you can handle, when battles are deep, it means you have tried all that is in your power and within your reach, but the battles look insurmountable! Yes! Deep battles mean HUMANLY SPEAKING, NO SOLUTION IS IN SIGHT!
Deep battles can also be used to describe battles that OTHERS AROUND YOU DO NOT SEEM TO SEE, FEEL OR UNDERSTAND!

They are deeper than what beyond the human eyes can see! They are deeper than what the deepest thinker or philosopher can fathom/imagine! They are battles that only know where the “SHOE PINCHES.” They are so deep that the ears of even your caring helpers or faithful confidant do not seem to hear your deep cry! Verse 7 of today’s scripture says: “Deep calleth unto deep and “At the noise of Thy waterspouts, all the waves and billows are over me.” Waterspouts have the same characteristics as tornados. Wow! They can destroy and kill. They are associated with severe thunderstorms, and are often accompanied by high winds and seas, large hail, and frequent dangerous lightning.

Waterspouts have long been recognised as serious marine hazards. The cities of Malta tornado in 1555 was the earliest record of deadly waterspout. But hear this again: “Deep calleth at the deep at the noise of thy waterspout: All the waves and Thy billows are gone over me.” Even in the midst of the most dangerous waterspout (life battles), DEEPER GRACE IS RELEASED by your GOD!

That is the level where DEEP NOISY WATERSPOUTS CAN ONLY HEAR THE VOICE OF THE DEEPER VOICE OF GOD! Yes! DEEP TORNADO battles CAN ONLY ANSWER TO DEEP TORNADO GRACE! Oh, I am so encouraged to start dancing now! I prophecy: that battle will NEVER and can NEVER consume you because the DEEPER THE BATTLE, the deeper the Grace.

Every power working to turn my joy to sorrow, expire now in Jesus name.
I am not CURSED but BLESSED! I shall sow and I shall reap! I shall build a house, and I shall dwell in it. I shall plant a vineyard, and shall gather the grapes thereof. Yes Lord, I shall not see DISAPPOINTMENT at the edge of my dancing hour in Jesus name (Pray it for 3 days).

PRAYER POINTS: Take your best worship as led.

1. In your own words, thank the Lord for today’s word and pray as led.
2. Pray and ask God for the impartation of the Spirit of Grace into your spirit today.
3. O Spirit of Grace; move upon my battles and dry up its roots now in Jesus name.
4. I decree: No satanic WATERSPOUT shall sink me! Lord, PROMOTE ME by every battle, mistake or attack upon my life and ministry!
5. The more the battles, the more the GRACE. No battle shall consume me this year in Jesus name.

TOPIC: THE “OVER RIGHTEOUS” VIRUS!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: ECCLESIASTES 7: 11 - 22.

Verse 16 of today’s scripture says: “Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself? That scripture is saying: “DO NOT JUDGE OTHERS! Do not think of yourself as BETTER and HIGHER than others! Do not be OVER RIGHTEOUS (righteous over much).

Wow! It is saying: “Do not practise your holiness in a way that you consider others as INFERIOR to you.” Have you not heard of churches or church leaders condemning other churches, even publicly in the name of holiness?

The Bible is saying out loud and clear: “Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise.” It will destroy you because PRIDE GOES BEFORE A FALL! Always remember that you are standing by GRACE! Your church or denomination is not better than others even if you see things in other churches which you hate! JUDGE NOT! The OWNER of the church will PURGE His church in His own way! He will PURGE His pastors in ways more than your wrath, hatred or fleshy competition can produce!

Dear pastor, stop trying to preach to please men by attacking other pastors! Go on your knees and pray for others and watch what the LORD will do! Proverbs 25:16 says: “Hast thou found honey? Eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.” Did you get that?

IF YOU FIND HONEY, if you find something wonderful about your life, family or ministry, DO NOT “OVEREAT” IT, lest you VOMIT it! “OVEREATING” IT means BRAGGING ABOUT IT! It means USING IT TO DENOUNCE OTHERS! The reason is found in Proverbs 25:27 – “It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.” So it is wise NOT TO PRAISE YOURSELF – searching for your own glory! LET OTHERS PRAISE YOU! Men/women who search and announce their own glory are spiritually stupid and have been infected with the “OVER RIGHTEOUS” VIRUS!

Ah! Quickly isolate and quarantine yourself alone with God and be humble, lest you stumble! Pray seriously now!

PRAYER POINTS: Take Song 1: Christian Seek Not Yet Repose…

1. In your own words, pray on today’s word as led now.
2. Repent from “RUNNING OTHERS DOWN” in the past.
3. Repent From SPEAKING NEGATIVELY OF/JUDGING OTHERS in their absence.
4. Lord, help me never to be OVER RIGHTEOUS AGAIN!
5. I pray for churches, pastors, believers and the body of Christ today; Lord, show mercy and PURGE YOUR CHURCH FOR HEAVEN. Shake away the garments that are soiled with sin and shake Your people by Your hand.
6. Pray about today and any other issue(s) as led now.

TOPIC: TRIBUTE TO A SON – “IF…” Part 1

BASIC SCRIPTURE: ISAIAH 26:1 - 11.

The biography of Rudyard Kipling, like that of any great soul in history, is full of zigzags. He was born in India to a loving set of parents, but his childhood pain began dramatically at the age of six when he was sent to England for his education. His first five years in England were AGONIZING because of the terrible abuse he endured there form his foster mother.
After that period, he was transferred to a school in Devon where he began to shine, becoming the editor of the school’s paper and embarking on his path as a writer, and becoming a major success. Like popular “stopovers or dark chapters” in the biography of the great, he was struck by misfortune once more when the bank where he kept his savings collapsed, leaving him penniless. He moved to America and continued writing and publishing! He again hit a rock-bottom when he became embroiled in a fight with his brother-in-law, which landed him both in court and local paper headlines, forcing his move back to England.

Oh! No wonder Barbara De Angelis penned: “We don’t develop courage by being happy every day. We develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.” On a trip to America in 1899, Rudyard Kipling’s daughter, Josephine, died of pneumonia at the age of seven, leaving him heartbroken.

The wheel continued to turn however, and in 1907 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his outstanding work. He wrote the popular poem “IF” which we shall consider tomorrow. But the Holy Ghost wants you to know that adversity is a ladder for the great! Isaiah 26:3 (KJV) says: “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee:” There can be PERFECT PEACE in that STORM because your MIND (the seat of thoughts like depression, self-pity and heaviness, etc), is ON HIM. PUT YOUR MIND ON HIM!

The Hebrew puts perfect peace as “PEACE, PEACE!” That means EXCESS PEACE which the world cannot explain! Ana Claudia Antunes wrote: “Life keeps throwing me stones. And I keep finding the diamonds.” No matter what is happening, just keep STAYING YOUR MIND ON Him. You will NEVER end up in shame because THE FIRE OF YOUR ENEMIES WILL DEVOUR THEM (See Verse 11)! Amen and amen! Pray now.

TOPIC: TRIBUTE TO A SON – “IF…” – Part 2

BASIC SCRIPTURE: PSALM 85: 1 - 9;
JOHN 14: 27.

The Nobel PRIZE winner in Literature, Rudyard Kipling, was a bitter enemy of British involvement in the First Word War. But during that war, he encouraged his son John to join the army. When his son failed the physical test, Mr. Kipling used his connections to get him into the army, only to watch him die in the battle for Loos (The Battle of Loos took place from 25 September – 8 October 1915 in France on the Western Front). His son death left a scar and a wound that was hard to heal! His life was one that was full of trials, hardship and sorrow, but time and time again, he overcame.

The poem, “IF” published three years after he won the Nobel Prize, contained the lessons he learned and was considered to be the keys to his success. Part of it is engraved on the entrance to modern day Wimbleson Stadium UK, to remind the world of the hidden secrets of winning. Let’s go with the paraphrased version of the poem: If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired of waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream – and not make dreams your master; If you can think – and not make thought your aim; If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can fill the unforgiven minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that is in it, And – which is more – you’ll be a man, my son!

Always remember: “Fire is the test of gold; adversity, of strong men” (Martha Graham). Today’s first scripture, Vs. 8 says; “Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for He will speak peace to His people, to His saints.” ONE NIGERIA ONE ODM!
Sow towards the 1st OCTOBER NATIONWIDE RALLY Tagged, “ONE NIGERIA, ONE ODM”. The aim is to sow ODM into the life of every Nigerian on OCTOBER 1ST INDEPENDENCE DAY EVERY YEAR. Let God use you.

THE LITTLE BOY MET GOD!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: GENESIS 18: 1 - 16.

Welcome to the last quarter of this year! A little boy was Determined to meet God. In his search, he packed his bag with some of his favourite cookies/a flask with tea and started on his journey. He walked around three blocks and stopped by when he saw a beautiful park. He sat on a bench beside an elderly lady. She was just sitting on the bench and watching some pigeons. He opened his bag, took out his cookies and poured some tea. When he was about to sip his tea, he noticed that the lady looked hungry.

He offered her his cookies and a cup of tea. She gratefully accepted and smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon smiling and eating cookies, but they never said a word. As the day went down, the boy got up to leave and gave the old woman a big hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever. The boy entered their family home with a huge smile on his face. Surprised by the look of joy on his face, his mother asked. “What did you do today that made you so happy. He replied, “I had a lunch with God today and she has got the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen. Meanwhile, the old woman entered her home radiant with joy.

Her son, astonished by the joy and peace on his mother’s face, asked, mother, what made you so happy today She replied, “I ate cookies and tea in the park with God. You know, He is much younger than expected. Wow! Too often we underestimate the power of little acts of love and care like a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear. An honest compliment, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. In this last quarter of 2020, let God use you to be a blessing daily to someone, because everybody you meet today can be used to bless you tomorrow!

Be somebody who makes everybody feel like a somebody! Remember Abraham saw 3 tired-looking souls. He did not know they were the God Team! He fed them and made them feel special! That was the secret of his eternal breakthrough today! There comes a time when you must realize that the MOON IS as IMPORTANT as the STARS or the SUN!

The RAZOR BLADE is sharp but it cannot cut a tree! The AXE is strong but it cannot cut your hair! The problem with life is not that we will die! The problem is HOW WE LIVE! May this be your best quarter ever in Jesus name!

PRAYER POINTS: Take Song 1: Blessed assurance…

1. In your own words, pray about today’s word as led.
2. Repent from not treating everyone you meet daily as “GOD.”
3. My Father, my Father, make me a GENERATIONAL

TOPIC: PRIDE: THE KILLER OF GIANTS!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: PSALM 75: 1 - 10.

There was this great Zulu (South African) Evangelist that worked with Reinhard Bonnke, His name was RIchard Ngidi. This man was gifted in miracles, signs and wonders. In those days, Bonnke would preach and step down the pulpit for Evang Ngidi to do what he knew best to do. He was really the “greater of the two, Yes, he was a concrete support to Bonnke and Bonnke’s ministry was growing rapidly. THEN PRIDE came knocking! The great Richard Ngidi began to think of himself as the maker of Reinhard Bonnke.
After all, he was the man doing the whole thing yet Reinhard Bonnke was taking the credit and the ministry bore Bonnke’s name. He said to Reinhard Bonnke’s assistants: “The day I leave Reinhard, that day will mark the end of him and his ministry.” One day in a crusade where he was to minister, he “deliberately didn’t show up. Bonnke waited nearly all night for him yet he didn’t show up. Bonnke summoned courage, took the microphone, apologized for the non-appearance of the great man, and as he was hurying to preach a little message and close, suddenly there was an uproar from all over the crusade ground; screams of “I CAN SEE,” I CAN HEAR,” I CAN WALK” I AM HEALED,” etc, filled the air. God did not wait for BONNKE TO FINISH HIS APOLOGIES.

The miracles began and instead of SHAME, it was a night of FAME! Listen when your LAST HOPE IS ON THE GOD THAT FETCHES WATER WITH A BASKET TO DISGRACE THE BUCKET, then you will never end up in disgrace! God moved mightily that night in miracles, signs and wonders and that marked the beginning of Bonnke’s ministerial EXPLOSION! Instead of that day being the day of shame for Bonnke, it became his day of fame and unfortunately the end of Ngidi. IT WAS THE NIGHT GOD REITRED NGlDl. But we must not judge him. We are all human and this write-up is only a warning for the living! Oh! I feel like weeping right now because the LORD is showing me that there are 1, 546 people using today’s devotional that He will retire soon, if they don’t stop seeking for fame or popularity!

Stop competing to be seen or to be heard! The LORD says you must know that PROMOTION does not come from the earth, but from above! Psalm 75: 6 -7 says, “For pronmotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the Judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another.” Always remember: It was PRIDE that changed ANGELS to DEMONS! Beware… (To be continued tomorrow).

TOPIC: PRIDE! THE KILLER OF GIANTS - 2

BASIC SCRIPTURES:
PROVERBS 16: 18 PHILIPPIANS 2: 1 - 11.

The story of NGIDI teaches us deep roots of Prov.16:18 – Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. One day, after the success of that crusade and the new anointing released upon BONNKE, Rev Ngidi came to one of Reinhard Bonnke’s programmes and saw multitudes like never before and when he met Bonnke, Ngidi began to say: “I missed it” “I missed it..” And he left the venue.

That was the last time they met. He died shortly after that. Ah! Beware of pride! Don’t be like a dog that bites the owner! Today, even though he has gone to be with the Lord, everybody knows Bonnke. But no one knows Richard Ngidi. What a life of irony! Hear Dwight L. Moody: “God sends no one away empty except those who are full of themselves. Then the quiet but loaded Henry Ward Beecher penned: “A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves.” Ah! See Philip Yancey: “Whatever makes us feel superior to other People, whatever tempts us to convey a sense of superiority, that is the gravity of our sinful nature, not grace.

Wow!! Always remember that you are what you are by HIS GRACE, not by your human connections, education, eloquence, prayer fire, holiness, etc. Choose deeper humility from today because YOU ARE DUST! Be the first to apologise always! Don’t struggle to always be known or seen! Don’t Seek for or pay for titles except you are awarded or you deserve them. Don’t be angry when others are praised and not you. Every man or woman has his/her season to shine; NOBODY shines forever, except GOD! Your season will come! Pastors, stop envying others who are doing better than you. Pray for them, don’t curse them. Same applies to businessmen/women or career-minded people! The moon does not stop the sun from shining and vice versa!

In your season, you cannot be stopped! Philippians 2: 3 is a watershed: “Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.” Rick Warren opined: “Pride builds walls between people, humility builds bridges.” Close with this: Pride will cost you everything but leave you with nothing, except shame, tears and had-I -known.” Learn! Lean! Learn! (SHARE TODAY’S WORD WITH A FRIEND or FAMILY! Get them an ODM COPY)!
