Joyce Meyer's Daily 30 November 2017 Devotional: The True Test of Spiritual Maturity

Topic: The True Test of Spiritual Maturity [Thursday November 30, 2017]

A time will come, however, indeed it is already here, when the true (genuine) worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth (reality); for the Father is seeking just such people as these as His worshipers. — John 4:23

More than anything else, God wants us to have genuine, pure, fervent love for Him and for others. If we can manage only one thing in our lives, it should be to love other people.

CGMI Above Only 30 November 2017, Devotional by Rev. M.E. Benson-Idahosa - Divine Internal Renewal

Topic: Divine Internal Renewal — Thursday November 30, 2017.

Text: Proverbs 18:14 (NIV), 2 Corinthians 4:16-18a (NLT)

A man’s spirit sustains him in sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear? *That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen.

Memorise: “Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered." - Psalms 32:1

Read: John 8:10-11

10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Our Daily Manna November 30, 2017: ODM devotional – Oh! Increase Is Coming!

You will never do great things, if you can’t do small things in a great way!

Topic: Oh! Increase Is Coming! [Thursday, November 30, 2017]

Basic Scriptures: Matthew 13:13-32

I heard the vibration of music in my inner ears and the wordings so clear, tinkled in my heart:
Despise not the days of little beginnings.
Little things grow to become big.
Big things turn to bigger things,
And bigger to biggest.
All started from the little!
A child turns a father or a man someday.
Little things must not be despised.
He who despises the little may not see it grow bg.
Despisers of little efforts are effortless!
Respect all little beginnings and despise no little results.

DCLM Daily Manna 30 November, 2017 by Pastor Kumuyi - Prophet Amongst Prophets

Topic: Prophet Amongst Prophets — Thursday November 30, 2017.

Text: Deuteronomy 18:15-22

Key Verse: "The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken" (Deuteronomy 18:15).

In his book, Prophet, novelist Frank Peretti tells the story of a television news anchor, John Barnett, who upon his father’s accidental death, is encouraged to investigate and report on problems at an abortion clinic. He soon discovers his producer attempting to fabricate a story and himself hearing mysterious "voices". In the process of continuing his investigations John finds God and Truth.

Seeds of Destiny 30 November 2017 by Pastor Paul Enenche: Depression- An Enemy Of Restoration

Topic: Depression- An Enemy Of Restoration [Thursday November 30, 2017]

Scripture: Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep. And David was greatly distressed… 1 Sam 30:4 and 6a

Thought For The Day: There is no celebration in depression, and there can be no restoration where there is depression.

Medically, depression is viewed as an illness that involves the body, mood and thought of a person. Simply put, depression is an act of feeling sad and suppressed emotionally.

TREM’s Daily 30 November 2017 Devotional by Dr. Mike Okonkwo - Connect To God’s Wisdom

Topic: Connect To God’s Wisdom — Thursday November 30, 2017.

“Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:” (Daniel 2:20 KJV)

Reading through the account in Daniel 2, it is clear that unlike the astrologers, magicians and Chaldeans who had no answer and had no place to turn to for a solution, Daniel knew he had a God who reveals deep and secret things. The book of Daniel 11:32 (KJV) says, “…but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” Daniel had confidence in God, and he approached the situation from that standpoint. If you truly must leverage on this wisdom, which has been ordained for your glory, then you must be connected to the Father who is the source of all wisdom. Proverbs 2:7 (NKJV) addresses this clearly and it says, “He stores up sound wisdom for the upright…” The upright is the one who is in the relationship and has right standing with the Father.

Billy Graham’s Daily 30 November 2017 Devotional: His Presence

Topic: His Presence [Thursday November 30, 2017]

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings . . . — Philippians 3:10

W.C. Burns of India wrote, “Oh to have a martyr’s heart, if not a martyr’s crown.” Popularity and adulation are far more dangerous for the Christian than persecution. It is easy, when all goes smoothly, to lose our sense of balance and our perspective. The important thing is to walk with Christ, to live for Christ, and to have one consuming passion—to please Him. Then, whatever happens, we know that He has permitted it in order to teach us some priceless lesson and to perfect us for His service. He will enrich our circumstances, be they pleasant or disagreeable, by the fact of His presence with us.

Andrew Wommack’s Daily 30 November 2017 Devotional: You're Not Alone In Persecution

Topic: You're Not Alone In Persecution [Thursday November 30, 2017]

Luke 23:11 "And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate."

All of Christ's sufferings did not end when He finished His earthly ministry.

He still takes the persecution of His people personally as is revealed by His statement to Saul on the road to Damascus: "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" He didn't ask Paul why he was persecuting His people. He said, "Why are you persecuting Me?" When we are persecuted for righteousness' sake, it is actually Christ who is being persecuted.

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland’s Daily November 30, 2017 Devotional: Abide in the Word

Topic: Abide in the Word [Thursday November 30, 2017]

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. - John 15:7

That word abide is so important. When Jesus told us to obey His commandments and keep His Word, He wasn't just telling us to follow a bunch of religious rules and regulations.

Our Daily Bread 30 November 2017 Devotional – Imperfect, Yet Loved

Topic: Imperfect, Yet Loved — Thursday November 30, 2017.

Read: Luke 7:36–50, Bible in a Year: Ezekiel 37–39; 2 Peter 2

God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

In Japan, food products are immaculately prepared and packaged. Not only must they taste good but they must look good too. Often I wonder if I am purchasing the food or the packaging! Because of the Japanese emphasis on good quality, products with slight defects are often discarded. However, in recent years wakeari products have gained popularity. Wakeari means “there is a reason” in Japanese. These products are not thrown away but are sold at a cheap price “for a reason”—for example, a crack in a rice cracker.

Memorise: For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, – 2 Timothy 3:2

Read: Mark 12:28-31 (KJV)

28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

Joyce Meyer's Daily 29 November 2017 Devotional: Be a True Worshiper

But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing. — James 1:4

Worship is so much more than just singing songs. It is a condition of the heart and a state of mind. We can even worship God passionately without singing a single note. Our worship for God is born in our hearts, it fills our thoughts, and it is expressed through the words we speak and the way we live.

David Abioye's Daily 29 November 2017 Devotional - Superiority of Blessing to Riches

Topic: Superiority of Blessing to Riches [Wednesday November 29, 2017]

Labour gives access to riches. It is favour that guarantees blessing.

God has given man power to become rich via His labour but only God blesses.

Riches are rewards of labour but blessings are benefits of redemption.

Read: Jeremiah 1:4-10

4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

DCLM Daily Manna 29th November, 2017 by Pastor Kumuyi - Afflictions of Israel

Topic: Afflictions of Israel — Wednesday November 29, 2017.

Text: 2 Kings 14:17-28

Key Verse: "For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel" (2 Kings 14:26).

The word ‘affliction’ is defined by a Bible dictionary as that which causes or tends to cause bodily pain or mental distress; the state of being in pain or trouble. An individual or nation can be afflicted with sickness, poverty, loss, oppression, war, invasion, conquest by foreign peoples. Persecution of New Testament believers is also a form of affliction.

Scripture: This food should be held in reserve for the country, to be used during the seven years of famine that will come upon Egypt, so that the country may not be ruined by the famine. Genesis 41:36 (NIV)

Thought For Today: It is your savings that saves you from future sobbing.

Wisdom is the application of the right knowledge for effective result and impact. It is the correct application of mentality to activity.

TREM’s Daily 29th November 2017 Devotional by Dr. Mike Okonkwo - You Are Not Ordinary: You Are Royalty!

Topic — You Are Not Ordinary: You Are Royalty! — Wednesday November 29, 2017.

“And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” (Revelation 5:10 KJV)

The reason the devil runs riot over you is because you have refused to behave like royalty. You refused to behave like one even though you are. As royalty, there are places you shouldn’t go and vocabularies you shouldn’t use. There are environments you shouldn’t be found in because you are royalty. The enemy will defeat you if you don’t know who you are. As a royalty, there are ways you cannot talk. And there are movies you cannot watch because you don’t want your mind twisted. You must live your life by virtue of who you are. You are Royalty!

Our Daily Manna November 29th, 2017: ODM devotional – Don’t Miss The Lesson!

Topic: Don’t Miss The Lesson! [Wednesday, November 29, 2017]

Basic Scriptures: Judges 14:5-18

Jim Rohn, the great American philosopher who died in 2009, once said, “It’s too bad, failure don’t give seminars. Wouldn’t that be valuable? If you meet a guy that has messed up his life for forty years, you’ve just met a guy who could change your life for the better. Sit down with him and take notes!” Amazing!

Our Daily Bread 29th November 2017 Devotional – The Power of Empathy

Topic: The Power of Empathy — Wednesday November 29, 2017.

Read: Hebrews 2:14–18; 13:1–3, Bible in a Year: Ezekiel 35–36; 2 Peter 1

Remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison. Hebrews 13:3

Put on the R70i Age Suit and you immediately feel forty years older as you experience impaired vision, hearing loss, and reduced mobility. The Age Suit was designed to help caregivers better understand their patients. Wall Street Journal correspondent Geoffrey Fowler wore one and wrote, “The unforgettable, and at times distressing, experience shed light not just on aging, but also how virtual reality equipment can teach empathy and shape our perceptions of the world around us.”

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland’s Daily November 29, 2017 Devotional: Don't Buy A Lie

Topic: Don't Buy A Lie [Wednesday November 29, 2017]

And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. - Deuteronomy 28:2

"Well, brother, in the end I'm sure you'll see these financial problems are actually a blessing in disguise." Have you ever heard anybody say that to someone who's hurting financially? Chances are, you have. It's a popular idea. The problem is, it's a lie used by the devil to keep believers down.

Andrew Wommack’s Daily 29 November 2017 Devotional: Jesus - The Name Above Names

Topic: Jesus - The Name Above Names [Wednesday November 29, 2017]

Luke 23:9 "Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing."

Not only does Jesus' refusal to defend Himself show His humility, but His refraining from venting His wrath against the man who senselessly killed His friend who was the greatest of the Old Testament prophets (Mt. 11:11), also displays His humble nature.

Billy Graham’s Daily 29 November 2017 Devotional: Satan at Work

Topic: Satan at Work [Wednesday November 29, 2017]

In whom we have redemption . . . the forgiveness of sins. — Ephesians 1:7

Satan is at work in our world. The Bible is my authority. He exists and he has control over thousands of young people, whose hearts have never been captured by Jesus Christ. He has hundreds of agents writing pornographic literature and producing sex movies to pollute young minds. He has intellectuals in high positions teaching a hedonistic and permissive philosophy.

Open Heavens 28 November 2017: Tuesday daily devotional by Pastor Adeboye – Knowledge and Prayer

Topic: Knowledge and Prayer — Tuesday 28, November 2017.

Memorise: But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. – 1 Peter  4:7

Read: Luke 21:34-36 (KJV)

34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

Joyce Meyer's Daily 28 November 2017 Devotional: You Must Develop Patience

Topic: You Must Develop Patience [Tuesday November 28, 2017]

Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. — Jeremiah 1:5

When you and I say to God, “Change me,” we need to understand what we’re saying because all of the changes we need to make won’t happen overnight. Instead, what God is going to do is give us an opportunity, through opposition, to grow as we change.

Bishop David Oyedepo: Sustaining the anointing!

Topic: Sustaining the anointing!

From scriptures, we recognise that the anointing of the Holy Spirit, among others empowers the redeemed to command exploits. For instance, Jesus Christ was a carpenter’s son for 30 years without an identity. However, when He returned in the power of the Holy Spirit, He was loaded with divinity and the Bible records that His fame went throughout all Judea and to the entire regions roundabout. We also saw from scriptures how 120 fearful disciples, who hid in the Upper room after the death of Jesus commanded exploits in Jerusalem and around the world after being empowered by the Holy Ghost (Luke 4:18-John 20:19-22; Acts 2:1-41).

Pastor Faith Oyedepo: Living as a Family (4)

Topic: Living as a Family (4)

Dear Reader,

I welcome you to this last segment of our teaching in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. May the good Lord bless you and your family in Jesus’ name!

This week I shall be teaching on, Make no provision for Divorce. That is, do all you can within your power to avoid divorce. Divorce engenders hatred in the family and even among the children. Malachi 2:16 says: For the Lord, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the Lord of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.

DCLM Daily Manna 28 November, 2017 by Pastor Kumuyi - Figs In Two Baskets

Topic: Figs In Two Baskets — Tuesday November 28, 2017.

Text: Jeremiah 24:1-10

Key Verse: "One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad" (Jeremiah 24:2).

According to the BBCgoodfood.com, one of the world’s oldest trees, the fig, can be traced back to the earliest historical documents and features prominently in the Bible. Figs are native to the Middle East and the Mediterranean region. They were held in such high regard by the Greeks that laws were once enacted to prevent their export.

Seeds of Destiny 28 November 2017 by Pastor Paul Enenche: Meeting Needs – A Therapy To Personal Challenges

Topic: Meeting Needs – A Therapy To Personal Challenges [Tuesday November 28, 2017]

Scripture: And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water…1 Samuel 30:11-12

Thought For The Day: Those who avoid people avoid possibilities. Those who take people for granted get stranded in life.

The background story of our anchor scripture is the raid of the Amalekites on Ziklag. The Amalekites invaded Ziklag and had taken captive their women and children and looted their possessions (1Samuel 30:1-3).

TREM’s Daily 28 November 2017 Devotional by Dr. Mike Okonkwo - Take Charge!

Topic: Take Charge! — Tuesday November 28, 2017.

“And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” (Revelation 5:10 KJV)

God intends for us to reign here on earth. That is His desire and the original purpose for us as heirs of salvation, and He cannot lie. By the law of the first mention, in Genesis chapter 2, the Bible tells us that God made man in His own image and likeness. In other words, we have the life of God. The Zoe type of life is in us. So we ought to function like God. How does God function? He takes charge. He created the heavens and the earth and all that is in it. And when he saw chaos and void on the earth, He spoke to it.

Our Daily Manna November 28, 2017: ODM devotional – Oh Nepa! Up Nepa!

Topic: Oh Nepa! Up Nepa! [Tuesday, November 28, 2017]

Basic Scriptures: Isaiah 61: 1-3; Psalm 126

The Word f God is light! The entrance of light brings joy! Let us illustrate this with a common occurrence in Nigeria (the most populous black Country in the world).

Years ago and even currently, whenever there is power failure, people will scream, “Oh NEPA.” “NEPA” means the National Electric Power Authority. Some even curse the Electric Power Authority. In extreme cases, there have been cases of community boys marching to the NEPA office to beat up its workmen (e.g. during a crucial football match). However, as soon as power supply is restored, you hear shout of jubilation, “UP NEPA!!”The emphasis in today’s devotional is that as a child of God, you have been delivered form the kingdom of darkness. Light has come into your life and whatever is the work or the trace of the works of darkness around your life must not be tolerated or allowed to stay beyond this devotional hour.

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland’s Daily November 28, 2017 Devotional: Imitate the Faithful

Topic: Imitate the Faithful [Tuesday November 28, 2017]

Remember your leaders and superiors in authority, [for it was they] who brought to you the Word of God. Observe attentively and consider their manner of living...and imitate their faith. - Hebrews 13:7, The Amplified Bible

Apart from the Word of God itself and prayer, nothing can do more for you than watching and imitating a real man of faith. I found that out in a big way many years ago when I was a student at Oral Roberts University. As co-pilot on the airplane that transported him and his staff to his healing meetings, I had the opportunity to study Oral Roberts up close. I followed him around. I heard him preach. I watched him lay hands on the sick.

Topic: Our Powerful God — Tuesday November 28, 2017.

Read: Amos 4:12–13, Bible in a Year: Ezekiel 33–34; 1 Peter 5

[He] who creates the wind, . . . the Lord God Almighty is his name. Amos 4:13

One day by the seaside, I delighted in watching some kite surfers as they bounced along the water, moved by the force of the wind. When one came to shore, I asked him if the experience was as difficult as it looked. “No,” he said, “It’s actually easier than regular surfing because you harness the power of the wind.”

Andrew Wommack’s Daily 28 November 2017 Devotional: What Is A Miracle?

Luke 23:8 "And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him."

Herod desired to see Jesus perform some kind of miracle, and some of the questions he asked Jesus made this desire obvious. However, Jesus did not use His faith to do any miracles for Herod.

Billy Graham’s Daily 28 November 2017 Devotional: The Sufficiency of God

Topic: The Sufficiency of God [Tuesday November 28, 2017]

I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. — John 10:10

In God’s economy, you must go down into the valley of grief before you can scale the heights of spiritual glory. You must become tired and weary of living alone before you seek and find the fellowship of Christ. You must come to the end of “self” before you can begin to live. The happiest day of my life was when I realized that my own ability, my own goodness, and my own morality were insufficient in the sight of God. I am not exaggerating when I say that my mourning was turned to joy, and my sighing into singing. Happy are they that mourn for the inadequacy of self, for they shall be comforted with the sufficiency of God.

But as the One Who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all your conduct and manner of living. — 1 Peter 1:15

Dear Reader,

You are welcome to the last teaching of this month. I know you have been following the series; as you take practical steps to obey the Word of God coming your way, your marriage shall continue to experience newness in Jesus’ precious name!

For the past few weeks, we have been looking at love and marriage. We have seen God’s involvement in the marriage institution and love as the first principle of marriage, how that love must be expressed, not only in thoughts and words, but also in deeds.

TREM’s Daily 27 November 2017 Devotional by Dr. Mike Okonkwo - Just Receive It By Faith

Topic: Just Receive It By Faith — Monday November 27, 2017.

“To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.” (Ephesians 1:6 KJV)

 Child of God, stand firm in the love of God. Feed yourself with the nourishment of God’s love knowing that you have been accepted in the beloved. God has accepted you. In Christ, you are the beloved of God. In Christ, you have been set free from the demands of the law. In Christ, the law has been rolled away. Why?  Because as long as the law remains in the way, you cannot enjoy all that God has made available to you in Christ.

DCLM Daily Manna 27 November, 2017 by Pastor Kumuyi - Come Back Home

Topic: Come Back Home — Monday November 27, 2017.

Text: Job 34:31-37

Key Verse: "That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more" (Job 34:32).

The courage to make amends is a proof of genuine spiritual transformation and desire for spiritual progress and promotion. Many who have strayed away from home and happiness often delude themselves with excuses and reasons for staying away. But the prodigal son would ever be remembered and commended for his decision to go back home and reconcile with his father – even when he felt he had disappointed his father woefully and as such had lost the status and privileges of a true son (Luke 15:17-22).

Our Daily Manna November 27, 2017: ODM devotional – Cloning: The Time of the End

Topic — Cloning: The Time of the End [Monday, November 27, 2017]

Basic Scriptures: Daniel 12:1-13

Cloning of human being could possibly be the latest medical controversy in the world today. HUMAN CLONING is a process whereby you produce a person out of a person without sperm cells. Its emphasis is using body cells and accelerating their growth.

Our Daily Bread 27 November 2017 Devotional – Knowing Better

Topic: Knowing Better — Monday November 27, 2017.

Read: 2 Kings 22:1–4, 8–13, Bible in a Year: Ezekiel 30–32; 1 Peter 4

When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his robes. 2 Kings 22:11

When we brought our adoptive son home from overseas, I was eager to shower him with love and provide what he had lacked over the preceding months, especially quality food, since he had a nutritional deficit. But despite our best efforts, including consulting specialists, he grew very little. After nearly three years, we learned he had some severe food intolerances. After removing those items from his diet, he grew five inches in just a few months. While I grieved at how long I’d unwittingly fed him foods that impaired his growth, I rejoiced at this surge in his health!

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland’s Daily November 27, 2017 Devotional: Occupy Till Jesus Comes

Topic: Occupy Till Jesus Comes [Monday November 27, 2017]

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. - Ephesians 6:13-17

The Bible teaches that as believers, you and I are to occupy until Jesus comes. Occupy is a military term meaning to hold possession, or control, of conquered troops and territory. If we're to do that effectively, most of us are going to have to change our attitudes. We're going to have to recognize that Jesus has already won the victory.

Not that I have now attained [this ideal], or have already been made perfect, but I press on to lay hold of (grasp) and make my own, that for which Christ Jesus (the Messiah) has laid hold of me and made me His own. — Philippians 3:12

I think we need to be a little more careful than we are with how we live. Not that we have to be so careful that we live in fear, but careful in a godly way, not a legalistic way.
