RHAPSODY OF REALITIES

TUESDAY, 2ND OCTOBER.

FOREVER PRODUCTIVE.

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing (John 15:5).

The Christian is an all-round success. There’s no question about it. It’s part of your make-up and heritage in Christ, to be ever fruitful and productive.

There’s no limit to what you can achieve as a child of God, irrespective of your field or endeavour. Read again our opening scripture and see that it makes no difference the work you do or your area of specialisation or interest; as long as you’re connected to the Vine (Jesus), you’ll be a success.
In Christ, we’ve been made champions for life. You’re like a tree planted by the streams, luscious and ever-green; fruitful in and out of season. You’re a wellspring of eternal beauty of divine verities. Your life is for the glory of God; you’re fashioned to produce excellence and manifest righteousness. What you need is to keep your focus on the Word and nothing else.

Meditate profusely on the Word and your success in life will be undeniable.

Remember what God said to Joshua: “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success” (Joshua 1:8). It’s not so much your job description, your social status, academic qualification, or the country where you live, as it’s about the consciousness of your divine lineage and heritage. You’re connected to Jesus Christ; that makes you a wonder in this world.

Christ is in you, and you are in Him! Everything you do should be done in, and with, excellence; exude excellence, and produce much fruits. It’s your heritage in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah! In your soul winning efforts, be effective. Whatever you’re involved in, produce abundant results, because that’s the will of God for you in Christ.

CONFESSION

I’m a fruitful branch of a fruitful Vine; I produce durable fruits. Whatever I do prospers, because the blessing of God is on me and on all I do. I make progress from glory to glory. Hallelujah.

FURTHER STUDY:

Jeremiah 17:7-8 Blessed [is] the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and [that] spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

Colossians 1:9-10 For this cause we also, since the day we heard [it], do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 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;

#AFFIRMATIONTRAIN


2ND OCTOBER.

I affirm that God has made me a wonder to my world! I am yielded to God’s guidance, counsel and promptings, and at all times, my spirit is open to receive from the Lord, and I am led continually into the greener pastures of the Spirit. My understanding is enlightened to function with the precision and accuracy of the Spirit.

My mind is anointed to receive sanctified thoughts; thus, I experience the glory of the Word today and always. The power of promotion is activated in me, and I am making progress in every area of my life. Hallelujah! Today, by my affirmations of faith, I am framing my world and causing the circumstances of my life to be in sync with God’s perfect will for me. I am strengthened through the ministry of the Spirit in my life! God’s glory and eternal purposes are revealed to me as I fellowship with the Spirit. I am stirred on the inside, I bring forth good things from within me, for I have treasures in me with which to bless my world.

The wisdom of God is at work in me, guiding me and showing me the way to go. Christ has been made wisdom unto me; therefore, I conduct all my affairs with prudence and discretion. I have insight into mysteries and secrets, and hidden things are revealed unto me by the Spirit of wisdom! Blessed be God.

Today's SOD - 2018-10-02
TOPIC: THE FUTURE OF FILTH

(FROM THE OCTOBER 2018 EDITION OF THE SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY DR. PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE)

TUESDAY 2ND OCTOBER,"2018

SCRIPTURE": Her filthiness clung to her skirts; she did not consider her future. Her fall was astounding… Lamentations 1:9. (NIV)

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: There is no destiny for the dirty,"there is no future for the filthy and there can be no prospect for the polluted.

Sometime ago, after I finished preaching, I made an altar call. As I was about leading the people in the prayer of repentance, a lady suddenly fell and we thought she fell under the Power of God, not knowing she had fainted and slumped. After the prayer, I touched her and discovered that she was lifeless. I did everything I could medically to resuscitate her but all to no avail. There was no sign of life in her. So, I cried to God with passion, “Oh Lord, this lady must not die; please bring her back to life.”

While I was still praying, she jerked back to life. When asked what happened, she said that when she slumped, she saw herself at the other side of eternity; she saw people jubilating on one side and other people screaming in torment on the other side. Then an Angel asked her, “Where do you want to go?” She said, “The side where people are rejoicing.” The angel said, “You are dirty and too filthy to go there, people like you cannot step in there”.

It was at that juncture where she was about to be sent to hell that God intervened in answer to my prayer for her and gave her a second chance.

Beloved, she would have gone to hell because of filthiness had God not intervened. The truth is, there is no destiny for the dirty, there is no future for the filthy and there can be no eternal prospect for the polluted. The destination of sinners is eternal damnation in hell fire. But that shall not be your portion, in Jesus’ Name! Therefore, make up your mind to repent from every sin and remain pure in the sight of God.

REMEMBER THIS": There is no destiny for the dirty,"there is no future for the filthy and there can be no prospect for the polluted.

ASSIGNMENTS":
1. Go through the message for today again.
2. Repent of every sin and determine to maintain a conscience void of offence towards both God and men.

PRAYER: Lord,"I ask that You cleanse me from every filthiness by the Blood of Jesus. Baptize me with the grace to maintain a conscience void of offence towards You and towards men O Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE": HELL IS REAL.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: TUESDAY 2ND OCTOBER 2018


THEME: REFUSE TO BE HOPELESS.

MEMORISE:

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. Romans 15:13

READ: Ezekiel 37:11-14

11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.

12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,

14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.

MESSAGE

Hopelessness and despair is a state marked by great difficulty, doubt, desperation, heaviness and embarrassment, causing one to be confounded, to give up hope or to be at a loss on what to do. Shame is also implied, as hopelessness leads to hanging one’s head low in a daze or confusion. What do you do when life leaves you with no money, no source of livelihood, no food and no place to lay your head? What do you do when there is no way of providing for your family, especially if you have little children? What do you do when you are faced with medical, financial or psychological problems that seem to defy all solution? What do you do when calamity or devastation comes against you unexpectedly and you have exhausted all channels of resolution without respite? Many in such situations have chosen the dark path that eventually leads to death, either by way of murder or suicide. I pray for anyone who may be passing through difficult times at this moment: the Lord will help you, He will make a way for you out of your troubles, and you will live to share your testimony with the world in Jesus’ Name.

So much evil comes forth from situations of hopelessness. In 1 Samuel 31:4, after king Saul had been badly wounded, he lost every hope of divine intervention or recovery, and he committed suicide by falling on his sword. Similarly, in 2 Samuel 17:23, the moment Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he was filled with shame and embarrassment, so much so that he took his own life. After Judas Iscariot had betrayed Jesus, his heart was stricken with guilt, and he hanged himself (Matthew 27:3-5). I pray that the type of hopelessness that drove these men to commit suicide will never be your portion in Jesus’ Name.

Are you confronted by a hopeless situation, or are you stricken with deep sorrow and pain? I want you to encourage yourself I the Lord your God, just like David did after he lost everything he had ever labored for (1 Samuel 30:6). The Almighty is our hope, our salvation and our peace. In your deepest sorrow and greatest moment of despair, please avoid the temptation of seeking respite with alcohol, hard drug or any other mind-bending substances. Always turn to God for help, because you can always count on Him to console you and make a way out of the hopeless situation. I pray that no matter what you are passing through, you will not take any step that will lead to destruction in Jesus’ Name.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please turn every hopeless situation in my life around for good in Jesus’ Name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 28-29

Luke 1:1-25

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 11: O GOD OUR HELP IN AGES PAST

1. O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.

2. Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.

3. Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.

4. A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.

5. Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the op’ning day.

6. O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home.
