Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Ephesians 3:20‭-‬21 KJV Devotion: Many times we humans imagine a lot of things in dreams or in the physical, things beyond our imagination. When we do it or receive it some of us flex muscle as if it was the power of our muscles that did it. We become proud and fail to acknowledge the fact that it was God who did it for us.  We as children of God must have it at the back of our mind that not us but God is behind our success and give him the glory. God does not like it when we share glory with him, He wants to take glory for what He did, does or will do for us. God works within us to accomplish His purpose, not that He cannot do without us but God rejoices when we participate in His work, He becomes proud of us like good father is proud when the children are succes...

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13" Devotion : The Word of God is truth; whosoever called on the name of the Lord was saved. Apostle Paul called upon the name of Jesus Christ and was saved, as did Timothy, Philemon, Luke, Mark, Prisca, Aquila, etc.    Jesus Christ will not reject anyone who calls on Him from a sincere heart because  He says in John 14:14, that "John 14:14  If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it." Jesus Christ does not discriminate; He gives attention to the poor, rich, sick, healthy, servant, master, president, laborer, man, woman, child, etc. The only small matter is your acceptance of Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Once that is done ask and you shall receive provided not for self end or to oppress.  Dear beloved, have you called upon the name of the Lord? Share with others how you felt after calling on Him!  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kjvstudybible.bible.k...

"Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you. 2 Chronicles 20:17" Devotion : There are different battles to fight as a child of God, but the good news is that it is not all these battles we should spend our time fighting. The opening scripture throws light on it; King Jehoshaphat was threatened by Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir.   The LORD gave the king a strategy to raise singers to lead the king and his army to battle. When the singers began to worship God, God confounded the enemies to fight against themselves until they had destroyed themselves.    The Christian is encouraged to develop a lifestyle of praise and worship so the Lord can fight for you. Our battles are easy because the battles are the LORD's and not ours.  Dear reader, how do you find your battles? Do you panic in ...

But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Matthew 4:4 KJV Devotion: The bible says in 1Cor 6:13a food for the stomach and stomach for the food but both will perish. Many of us cannot but eat as many times as possible because it has become our habit.    I make bold to say many people cannot fast for six hours once in a week because they must eat though fasting is good for spiritual growth and physical health. In the passage above Jesus told Satan that the most important factor in life is how to make heaven rather what to eat and drink because God who feeds the birds of heaven (Matt 6:26) will provide for our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.(Philippians 4:19).  Dearly beloved, I urge you to make heaven your priority and all other things including food that the world scramble for will be added to you effortlessly. (Matt 6:33) I am your friend Dr Joel Olanrewaju...

For with God nothing shall be impossible. Luke 1:37 KJV Devotion:  The angel answered Mary, and said "For with God nothing shall be impossible" now this is deep faith to a woman who did not know a man to conceive. Only God can do that.  To those who believe when God says something nothing is impossible, all you need to do is believe. Lazarus was dead for 4 days and God through Jesus brought him back to life so whatever the situation you maybe going through just believe that nothing is impossible with God.   If you can conceive the idea you can do it not you but God in you. All that matters is your faith and tenacity. Did you get a diagnosis, are you going for examination or business meeting? Cheer up, I urge you to believe that nothing is impossible with God and that you will be successful.  Remember the small matter is your faith in God, come back to Him today if you have backslidden. Testimonies await you if you believe. Hallelujah! I am your friend Dr Joel Ol...

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. James 1:22‭-‬24 KJV Devotion: I was standing in front of a mirror and my second son who was 4 years then and had not seen a standing mirror rushed to the restroom behind to confirm if I was at same time in the restroom. He did not understand that it was my reflection behind he thought I had become two.  A person standing before a mirror with badly made facial treatment must do something about it, if not he goes to town with his ugly face; so is a person who fails to act on his character after hearing or reading the word of God. The word teaches character but if having heard the teaching and you continue to remain in sin it's left for you. You'll be answerable one day and the word will stand ag...

For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Romans 15:4 KJV Devotion: The word of God we learned  yesterday is God (John 1:1) was purposely written so that you and I might have hope as we go through life. God Himself is Hope personified so His word is Hope.  The story of Abraham and Sarah tells you no matter how long God will do that which He promised. Joseph's story tells you though you might be persecuted by your own, sent to the pit and prison you'll still achieve what God destined you to be. No matter your sin God of mercy who forgave David will forgive you if you confess and repent. Though you may lose everything don't despair you'll get double portion just like Job.  In all of these, these patriarchs stood fast they never despaired or look back, they were faithful to the end because they knew the word of God. This is where faith comes in, reading the word and...
