But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 14:26 KJV Devotion: Isn’t it a great relief to have a reliable spouse, friend, co-worker, or family member who reminds you of important things you have forgotten about? God knows that our limited brain capacity may cause us to forget some of the things He has written in the Scriptures. Sometimes, He even instructs us in a still voice, and later on, we forget about it!   Beloved, praise be to God, for the Holy Spirit is always there persistently, consistently, and passionately reminding us of the Word of God! When you are experiencing troubles and sorrows, He causes you to remember the promises of the Father and empowers your inner man. Whenever you are tempted, He reminds you of what Jesus Christ said. So, do not delay to obey whenever you hear His voice and promptings! Hallelujah!   Pra...

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.55.22.KJV Devotion: Good day to you wherever you may be on earth. We all know the story of David, how much trouble he encountered from home, in the bush he was attacked by lion, Bear and King Saul wanted to kill him. He overcame them all. As King of Israel he fought so many wars and even war against sin of adultery he won because he trusted God and casted his burden upon the Holy God. In all these God sustained him. Therefore David is bold to write that you and me should cast our burden upon the Lord.  I don't know what you are going through today but I assure you that if you trust God and cast your burden upon him he will sustain you. God has the capacity to provide for your needs according to His riches in glory. (Philippians 4 vs 19)  Jesus confirmed what David said when He says in Matthew 11:28  "Come unto me, all ye ...

The liberal soul shall be made fat: And he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Proverbs 11:25 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/pro.11.25.KJV Devotion: Giving is inborn but we can learn to give. When you give there's always a certain joy in the heart, I have told this story before let me repeat it: my clinic is small and tottering, I once made just 2500 naira a whole day and then went to church service. I shared all out and came home. I was joyful somehow but I did not know why. Shortly after a friend outside the country called and ask for my account number. He sent 100000 naira to me. So I got 40 fold in return, such is God.  When the Bible says give it shall be given ... it is better to believe and with Holy Spirit guidance give to appropriate persons. Do not give with motive otherwise there will be no reward. The Bible says cast your bread upon the waters and it shall return unto you (Ecclesiastes 11:1), it means give to him who cannot repay you; remember Jesus Christ is th...

Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. Isaiah 40:28 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/isa.40.28.KJV Devotion: Every humans are prone to be tired or weary at some point in life. It could be due to fatigue of work, exhaustion from intellectual job or other circumstances. We just say I'm fed up and some will give up totally, sometimes we just take a nap and at other times we go on vacation. When we return we are fired up to continue.    But God is eternal, he never gives up, nevery weary or fatigued; as He was before the earth was created by Him so He is now and will be in ages to come. He never takes vacation He's always there no matter the situation God changes not.   He is like the burning bush which though was burning but the grass did not burn out because the source of fire is God (Exodus 3 vs 2). You can get to that l...

As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. Psalms 109:17 KJV Devotion: Proverbs 18:21 says that death and life are in the power of the tongue; we will eat the fruit of our words one day. As the opening scripture shows, it is dangerous to speak curses and hate what is a blessing, for that will come back to us one day. Self-criticizing words, words of fear and doubt, and all other negativity can actually hinder God’s blessings in our lives. Beloved, may you rise up more powerful and prosperous than before! As you have now come to know the value and importance of words, even idle words, may you only speak of blessings and the goodness of God and words that bring life! May you witness the power of God moving in areas that need revival and breakthrough in your marriage, families, cities, etc. as you constantly declare His Word! Be powerful! Hallelujah! Prayer point: My God, the Blesser and Giver of all good things, I praise You ...
