"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:25" Devotion : There is a corporate anointing we receive any time we come together as believers in fellowship with our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. This is the anointing Jesus prayed for the disciples that they may be one in Him.  This anointing causes us to love one another, create fellowship with one another, pray for one another, be kind toward one another, learn from one another, exhort one another, sympathize with one another, etc. Therefore, those Christians who neglect or forsake Christian fellowship are losing many benefits and will soon fall away from the faith.  Dear reader, do you enjoy Christian fellowship?

"And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. 1 Corinthians 13:13" Devotion : Faith, hope, and charity are important virtues of Christianity. By faith we believe that God exists, hope gives us expectation and drive to move on, and charity or love is a physical demonstration of an inner work.     Charity or love is the greatest, because through charity or love faith and hope makes sense to us. A very good example is the coming of Jesus Christ to the world to redeem man from sin; this is an outward manifestation of the love of God which makes sense of our faith and hope in God.    Dear reader, which of the three:faith, hope, and charity is the greatest?

The bible tells us that God is LOVE and while we were still in sin He loves us and send His b...

"He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. Psalm 91:15" Devotion : God has promised to respond quickly to His children. How beautiful to hear that from the almighty God! Our responsibility  is to love God, obey Him totally then call Him; those who do not call on Him with the scriptures will wallow in trouble, bondage, dishonor, short life, and sin. Why not call Him today and enjoy His answer, deliverance, honor, long life and salvation?  Share your comments here! http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kjvstudybible.bible.kjv.bibleverses.bibleoffline

"Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! Luke 17:1"  __AND [Jesus] said to His disciples, Temptations (snares, traps set to entice to sin) are sure to come, but woe to him by_ _or through whom they come!(amplified bible) Devotion : Jesus Christ noted that offences will come, but warns the one through whom it will come. He said the offender (tempter, the one who caused others to sin) will be severely punished.    This shows how much Jesus Christ loves His children; His children are so dear to Him that He does not want them to be offended (tempted, snared to sin )  Offences could lead to pain, hatred, discouragement, shyness, bitterness, etc.; therefore the Lord Jesus does not want to entertain them. Likewise, the children of God do not have to entertain offences. We need to pray against temptation as much as possible so believers can live in peace, joy, and love.   Dear reader, have ...

"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" Devotion : The children of God have a way of renewing their strength: waiting on the Lord is the way to get a renewed vitalized strength.  Spending time with the Word of God and the Spirit of God in an atmosphere of prayer is waiting on the Lord; a purposeful fasting is another way to wait on the Lord.    In waiting we are asking God to take total control; as we do that He anoints us with new strength, new energy, new thoughts, new direction, new vision, etc.  Dear reader, how do you wait on the Lord?

“The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.” Habakkuk 3:19 (KJV) Beloved, the Father of all spirits is the creator of destinies. He creates destinies of the living (Genesis 1:26–30). If you become born again, your destiny is changed to conform to that of the Kingdom of God (Colossians 1:13). The prophet Habakkuk came to know one thing—that if he makes the LORD his strength, the LORD will quicken his feet to fulfill his destiny on time.   Dear beloved, do you want to fulfill your destiny on time? If you do, then make the LORD your strength; let the Word of God be your everything (Colossians 3:16). Meditate on it day and night and confess the promises therein into your life. This will produce divine energy in you to move with supernatural speed and fulfill your destiny. Hallelujah! You are an overcomer!   Prayer Point: My faithful and loving Father, tha...

"There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. Hebrews 4:9" Devotion : The only people who have been promised true rest are the children of God.   The only place you can find rest is in Christ Jesus, for there is no rest for the wicked. Jesus says in Matthew 11:28 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." The question I'll ask you is where are you? In Christ or in "christ", do you still visit the man of small gods?    In Hebrews 13:19, the bible says "But I beseech you rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner" and if restored to you, you will find rest. His promise is peace (rest) that is different from what devil gives. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.  Dear reader, do you share the gospel? Please do so that at the appointed time you will rest just ...
