Pastor Faith Oyedepo: Monday March 30, 2015 Daily Devotional - Partnering with God

Topic: Partnering with God [Monday March 30, 2015]

“For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.”-Hebrews 3:4

I started praying about my family early in life. I used to and still do pray for my husband, his career and ministry, his walk with God, my children, and all the choices they have to make in life. I realized that there was no amount of knowledge that I would gather that could surpass God’s backing on my family.

God is the builder of every successful home, but He would not just invade your home to take over. He is not like man that would forcefully collect your land and build what they like on it, renting it out to you at a costlier rate. He expects you to first of all, ask Him to take over and then hand Him every necessary document; before He would take over. When He does, all you need to do is to sit back and enjoy His leading, following every step obediently.

You don’t know everything about your spouse, no matter how long you may have been married. But God knows him or her completely; even more than they know themselves. Similarly, your children might be yours but they are God’s craftsmanship and He fashioned them especially for a particular purpose. This is why you need to partner with Him; to help make sure His purpose for your family comes to pass.

Partnering with Him means searching through scriptures to find His will for your family, praying constantly for that will to be accomplished, obeying every Word to the detail and ensuring your family does the same. As a co-labourer with God, you have been endowed with the ability to see that you labour appropriately in His Vineyard and that your labour is not in vain. Therefore, as you take on the responsibility to work diligently with God to bring you family to His glorification, you will not fail in the name of Jesus Christ!

Remain Blessed!
