Joel and Victoria Osteen’s daily devotional May 31, 2017 – Praising in the Midnight Hour

Today’s Scripture: "About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose." - (Acts 16:25-26, NIV)

Topic: Praising in the Midnight Hour [Wednesday May 31, 2017]

Paul and Silas were put in jail for spreading good news. It wasn’t fair. They were beaten with rods without a trial. It was unjust. As they sat in the prison, bloody, bruised and uncomfortable, they began to sing praises to God. All of the sudden, there was a great earthquake. The prison doors flung open, the chains fell off and they walked out as free men. What happened? They praised their way to victory!

A Promise For You From Bible Promises:

Topic: Judge Not [31/05/2017]

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. Matthew 7:1. Read: Matt 7:1-5

In Christendom today, many call judgmental spirit the spirit of God. They condemn others that are not like them. Some believe that, only those who belong to their denomination will make heaven, others who are not of their fold will go to hell. They believe Church can save, no, only Jesus can save because He alone is the way, not the Church nor religion. Religion kills. Jesus said, if you judge others, you shall be judged also by others. You must not practice 'holier than thou attitude' but love all and tell them the truth about God's kingdom. It's not your job to judge anyone but God's.

Topic: Emotional Worship 1 [Wednesday, 31st May 2017]

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24

When we come into a christian meeting or gathering, we expect that the presence of the Lord will be amongst us. There is this sense of anticipation that 'the Lord will show up in our midst tonight.' So with that, we try to tune our 'spiritual antenna' so that we can be aware of when the Lord shows up. Most times, we look forward to the music minister singing some heart-touching, emotion-steering songs during the course of leading the congregation in worship, then we will say 'the Lord is here, wow! Glory!'

Topic: Your Mouth, Your Life [Wednesday May 31, 2017]

Your life is at the mercy of your mouth.

Your mouth is the rudder of your life.

Topic: The Log in My Eye [Wednesday May 31, 2017]

You hypocrite, first get the beam of timber out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the tiny particle out of your brother’s eye. — Matthew 7:5

Loving people unconditionally is the greatest gift we can give them (and ourselves). I have learned that one of the secrets to my own personal peace is to let people be who God made them to be, rather than try to make people be who I would like them to be. I do my best to enjoy their strengths and be merciful toward their weaknesses because I have plenty of my own. I don’t need to try to take the speck out of someone else’s eye while I have a telephone pole in my own.

Topic: Whose Will? [Wednesday 31, May 2017]

Memorise: Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. – Matthew 6:10

Read: Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV)

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

If you have a child, are responsible for a child, or have children around you in any way and at any time, you must erase these words from your vocabulary and refrain from saying them to a child. This is because a child’s mind and perception of the world is very fragile in their formative years, so you have to be careful not to impact them negatively with your words. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares 5 things you should never say to a child.

“Practice Makes Perfect”

This popular phrase is what most children have grown up hearing and most parents erroneously believe that this phrase encourages a child to work harder and attain great things. However, most of the time, this is not so. This adage sends a message that if a child doesn’t win or excel, it means the child didn’t work hard enough. This weakens the child’s confidence as he/she grows up believing every failure is caused by his/her incompetence or inability to put in enough effort. It’s better to say instead that ‘practice makes better’ rather than ‘practice makes perfect’.

Topic: A Looming Judgement [Wednesday May 31, 2017]

Text: Amos 5:16-27

Key Verse: "Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light" (Amos 5:18).

The judgment of God upon sinners is imminent. It is going to be a day of catastrophe and calamity, gloom and misery, desolation and astonishment and indeed, a day of a lamentation and confusion. It is a day that no sinner would wish to pass through. This day of outpouring of God’s fury, indignation and wrath upon the world is referred to as the day of the Lord in the Scripture.

Topic: The Beauty of Brokenness [Wednesday May 31, 2017]

Read: Psalm 51, Bible in a Year: 2 Chronicles 13–14; John 12:1–26

My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit. Psalm 51:17

Kintsugi is a centuries-old Japanese art of mending broken pottery. Gold dust mixed with resin is used to reattach broken pieces or fill in cracks, resulting in a striking bond. Instead of trying to hide the repair, the art makes something beautiful out of brokenness.

Topic: His Purpose Revealed [Wednesday May 31, 2017]

Matthew 16:21, "From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day."

Matthew 16:20-28

Despite the abundant and clear prophecies about His death and resurrection, Jesus' disciples didn't understand or remember Jesus' words until after His resurrection (Lk. 24:5-9). Luke records twice that Jesus' sayings about His resurrection were hidden from the disciples. It is interesting to note, however, that the chief priests and Pharisees remembered Jesus' prophecies about His resurrection (Mt. 27:63) when His disciples didn't.

Topic: Live in Power [Wednesday May 31, 2017]

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. - Romans 6:4

As a believer, you actually have residing in you the same new life God gave Jesus when He raised Him from the dead. The old sinner you once were has died. You’ve become a new creation on the inside.

Topic: Hard Work; The Door To The High Places Of Life [Wednesday May 31, 2017]

Scripture: Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men – Proverbs 22:29

Thought For The Day: Hard work is the cure for hard life.

It has been observed that a major decadence of our generation is laziness and idleness. Many people want to get everything very fast without working for it. As a result, they embark on short-cuts that eventually cut their lives and destinies short. No one wants to embrace the discipline of hard work. That is why many people are suffering today.

Topic: Need for Inner Change [Wednesday May 31, 2017]

Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. — 2 Corinthians 5:17

The world says that all we need to do is be decent, respectable, and reasonable. True, that is all one needs to do to be a member of the Great Society, but to be a member of the Kingdom of God, there must be an inner change. A Communist in Hyde Park, London, pointed to a tramp and said, “Communism will put a new suit on that man.” A Christian standing nearby said, “Yes, but Christ will put a new man in that suit!”

Joel and Victoria Osteen’s daily devotional May 30, 2017 – Stored Up Blessings

Today’s Scripture: "Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have prepared for those who trust in You in the presence of the sons of men!" - (Psalm 31:19, NKJV)

Topic: Stored Up Blessings [Tuesday May 30, 2017]

Scripture talks about how God has blessings stored up for those that honor Him. Think about that. God has contracts, houses, ideas, good breaks that already have your name on them! They’ve been stored up for you. The question is, how do you see them released? Number one: by honoring God and keeping Him first place. Then number two: by making room for them in your thinking. You’ve got to believe that something big is in your future. You’ve got to declare His promises over your life. You have to see with your eyes of faith what God can do.

Topic: The Gravity Of His Action [30/05/2017]

And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. Luke 15:12. Read: Lk 15:12-32.

There are so many interpretations to the action the prodigal son took, but in this context, we want to look at his sin, the gravity of his action. We all know that before a Will can be read, the owner must have been dead. No one allows his Will to be read why he is still alive. The prodigal son went to meet his father and said, father, I want my own portion of the inheritance that should fall to me after you've dead. He gave him.

Topic: God-dependent [Tuesday, 30th May 2017]

For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. Philippians 2:13

We always want to do too much by ourselves, especially when it comes to the issues concerning God. But, we must appreciate the fact that, no matter how much of effort we put in, we cannot get the job done by ourselves. It is a good thing to believe in our abilities and the quality embedded in them, but, as long as it is our ability, we will always come up short, unless our ability is resting on the supply of the grace - enablement - of God.

Topic: How to Maintain Relevance [Tuesday May 30, 2017]

Standing firm and fast at your God ordained duty post is the only way to maintain your relevance.

Refuse to be attracted to what is popular.

Stay at your appointed place if you don’t want to suffer disappointment in life.

Topic: True Strength [Tuesday May 30, 2017]

Sing to God, sing praises to His name, cast up a highway for Him Who rides through the deserts—His name is the Lord—be in high spirits and glory before Him! A father of the fatherless and a judge and protector of the widows is God in His holy habitation. God places the solitary in families and gives the desolate a home in which to dwell… — Psalm 68:4-6

The world is filled with single mothers whose husbands walked out on them and refuse to support their children financially. Men who merely walk away need to remember that strength does not walk away, but it works through situations and takes responsibility.

Topic: The Family Altar (4)

I am excited that we have come to the concluding part of this month’s teaching, trusting God that you have begun working on your family. Besides, I believe you are seeing to the effective nurturing of your home in the way of the Lord, with tangible result.

This week, on a concluding note, I shall be discussing on, Building Your Family on the Rock. God is the one who instituted the home. Allowing Jesus Christ to take His rightful place in your family, and making Him the central focus, makes it possible for your home to be transformed into the Garden of Eden that He intended it to be.

Topic: Between God and Neighbours [Tuesday May 30, 2017]

Text: Mark 12:28-37

Key Verse: "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment" (Mark 12:30).

Two aspects of Jesus’ personality are here introduced: His humanity and deity. He is both human and divine. In His incarnation, Jesus came to this world in human form in the lineage of David. That is why He is often referred to as the Son of David.

Topic: Tell the Good News [Tuesday May 30, 2017]

God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. - 2 Corinthians 5:19

Very few unsaved people today have ever really heard the “good news.” Why? Because too many Christians are busy telling the world God is mad at them. And telling them that they’re terrible and wrong. Some call that “good news,” but it’s not, and it’s not what God has commissioned us to share.

Topic: Expect and Extend Mercy [Tuesday May 30, 2017]

Read: Luke 18:9–14, Bible in a Year: 2 Chronicles 10–12; John 11:30–57

God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Luke 18:13

When I complained that a friend’s choices were leading her deeper into sin and how her actions affected me, the woman I prayed with weekly placed her hand over mine. “Let’s pray for all of us.”

Topic: Subduing The Flesh – Key To Destiny Fulfilment [Tuesday May 30, 2017]

Scripture: Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41

Thought For The Day: To surrender your life to the dictates of your flesh is to forfeit your destiny.

The flesh is the greatest enemy of destiny. There are many people who followed the dictates of their flesh and lost their destiny. This was the tragedy of Esau. He followed the craving of his flesh and lost his birthright to Jacob.

Topic: Recognize The Real Enemy [Tuesday May 30, 2017]

Mark 8:33, "But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men."

MARK 8:30-33

Jesus was not implying that Peter and Satan were one-and-the-same, but was referring to the fact that Satan had inspired Peter's statement. This type of metaphor was used elsewhere in scripture such as when God spoke to the serpent in the garden of Eden (Gen. 3:15) as though addressing Satan. The serpent was merely the vehicle of communication Satan used to tempt Adam and Eve, while Peter was the vehicle Satan used to tempt Jesus. Ephesians 6:12 reveals that our warfare isn't with people, but against the spiritual powers who inspire and use people. Jesus recognized that Peter's reaction to His prophecy about His death was motivated by His enemy, Satan, so He went right to the source.

Topic: Salvation Is Free [Tuesday May 30, 2017]

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. — Romans 3:24

Salvation is free! God puts no price tag on the Gift of gifts—it’s free! Preachers are not salesmen, for they have nothing to sell. They are bearers of Good News—the good tidings that “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3). Money can’t buy it. Man’s righteousness can’t earn it. Social prestige can’t help you acquire it. Morality can’t purchase it. It is, as Isaiah said, “without money and without price.”

Joel and Victoria Osteen’s daily devotional May 29, 2017 – Another Victory is on the Way

Today’s Scripture: "But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere." - (2 Corinthians 2:14, ESV)

Topic: Another Victory is on the Way [Monday May 29, 2017]

Are you facing challenges or difficulties today? Maybe something has happened that could easily discourage you and cause you to give up on your dreams. I want to remind you today that where you are is not where you are going to stay. God has a good plan in store for your future. When you stay in step with Him, you’ll walk right into victory.

Topic: Returning To Your Vomit? [29/05/2017]

But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. 2 Peter 2:22. Read: 2 Pe 1:1-22.

Prior to the preachers and teachers of "Eternal Security" i.e, once saved is forever saved, God and His word is against such teaching and teachers. No human in his right senses would vomit and go back to eat his vomit and apostle Peter made us to understand that, once saved is not forever saved. He said if the Lord did not spare the holy angels but threw them down to hell, did not spare the old world and destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, why would humans think He will spare anyone who has known the way of righteousness but deviate from it? "For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning". 2 Pet 2:20.

Topic: Let Your Spirit Pray [Monday, 29th May 2017]

For if I pray in tongues, my spirit is praying, but I don’t understand what I am saying. 1 Corinthians 14:14

How sweet it is to pray in tongues. It's one of the best gifts the Lord gave to the church. God is a Spirit, and we can only relate with Him with our spirit (John 4:24). Because prayer is the chief means for us to relate with God, He gave us this special gift of speaking in tongues. So that through it, our spirit can relate with God, Who is a Spirit. So, when we pray in tongues, our spirit prays (1 Corinthians 14:14). But we must know that it is the Holy Spirit that aids the process (Acts 2:4).

Topic: The Ultimate Satisfaction [Monday May 29, 2017]

Many people think that what they need is money. Some others think that what they need is job, fame or position. But the ultimate satisfaction is to be in the likeness of God.

He put His image and likeness in us. So we are compelled to keep longing for Him. Genesis. 1.26,27

Topic: Come as a Little Child [Monday May 29, 2017]

And He called a little child to Himself and put himself in the midst of them, and said, Truly I say to you, unless you repent (change, turn about) and become like little children [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving], you can never enter the kingdom of heaven... — Matthew 18:2-3

One thing children are not is complicated. Children have no trouble letting you know what they want, running into your arms when they are afraid, or giving you a big generous kiss, sometimes for no apparent reason. They are not sophisticated enough to hide their hearts or feelings very well, and as a result, communicating with them can be easy and refreshing.

Dear Reader,

Welcome to the concluding part of this month’s series. I strongly believe that you have been blessed and edified. Today, I shall be looking into Ways out of Marital Infidelity.

We live in modern times where a lot of virtues our parents upheld are pushed aside as being old-fashioned. Liberality appears to be the password of the new generation. Thank God, the Bible was not inspired by man’s customs and ideologies else several updates would have become mandatory. What is contained therein was inspired by the Holy Spirit, who is eternal. The Word of God in 2 Timothy 3:16 says: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Topic: Avenge Not Yourself [Monday May 29, 2017]

Text: Proverbs 25:16-28

Key Verse: "If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink" (Proverbs 25:21).

The story is told about Jane, a persecuted but non-vindictive and non-retaliatory Christian young lady somewhere in Africa. She sometimes left her clothes on the washing line at the back of their residence. Whenever she went for fellowship or evangelism, her hostile neighbours would never help her pack them inside, perchance there was rain.

Topic: Let Honor Meet Honor [Monday May 29, 2017]

Read: Matthew 6:1–6, Bible in a Year: 2 Chronicles 7–9; John 11:1–29

Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. Matthew 6:1

I’ve always been impressed by the solemn, magnificent simplicity of the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery. The carefully choreographed event is a moving tribute to soldiers whose names—and sacrifice—are “known but to God.” Equally moving are the private moments of steady pacing when the crowds are gone: back and forth, hour after hour, day by day, in even the worst weather.

Kenneth Copeland’s daily devotional May 29, 2017 - Don't Hesitate

Topic: Don't Hesitate [Monday May 29, 2017]

He that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. - James 1:6-8

What happens when you hesitate to do something God has told you to do? Your adversary takes the first step. The devil gets the jump on you.

Topic: God's Will Above Ours [Monday May 29, 2017]

Luke 9:23, "And he said to them all, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me."

Matthew 16:16-26; Mark 8:30-37; Luke 9:21-27

Self-denial is an important part of the Christian life. Jesus sacrificed His life for us and He demands that we die to ourselves that we might experience the new life He has provided. We do this first by recognizing that we can't save ourselves by our own effort and, second, by trusting God - not self - for salvation. Then daily, we need to deny our own wisdom and seek God's wisdom and direction for our lives.

Topic: The Mentality for Enduring Greatness [Monday May 29, 2017]

Scripture: ‘For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…’ Proverbs 23:7.

Topic: Keep Moving Forward [Monday May 29, 2017]

For in him we live and move and are! — Acts 17:28 (TLB)

When I was seven years old, my father bought me my first bicycle. I had never ridden one. Patiently, my family and friends tried to teach me the art of cycling. I soon found out there was one thing I must do if I was to stay on the bicycle—keep moving forward. If I ceased to go forward, I would fall and hurt myself. So it is in the Christian life. We can never live this life on the highest plane unless we are continually growing and moving forward. You should be closer to God today in heart, soul, and body, than at any other time so far in your life.

We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 2 Corinthians 6:1. Read: 1 Cor. 3:4-11

Isn't it wonderful and amazing to be called a coworker with God Almighty? Of course, it is. How can finite man work with the infinite God? This is where the work of grace and mercy comes to play. Through the finished work of Salvation on the cross, we can boldly go to the throne of grace and obtain mercy to help us work with him successfully. Heb 4:16. Note that, to successfully be a coworker with God, you must first walk with Him. Walking with Him comes before working for Him. Walking with God brings intimacy, He shows you His ways while working with Him shows you His acts. Walking with Him brings you into His glory.

Topic: Guided By The Spirit [Sunday, 28th May 2017]

So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. Galatians 5:16

Even as God, Jesus Christ was tempted by Satan. Did Jesus had the potential to sin? Could Jesus Christ have fallen for victim of Satan's temptations? It's an emphatic YES. Jesus had the potential to sin, He could have fallen victim to Satan's temptation. Because He was in the flesh and the flesh is susceptible to sin, if not Satan would never had bothered tempting Him. Scriptures says in Hebrews 4:13 that "for we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning."

Topic: Help! [Sunday May 28, 2017]

For I the Lord your God hold your right hand; I am the Lord, Who says to you, Fear not; I will help you! — Isaiah 41:13

No matter how well we may think we run our lives, the truth is that we need help with everything. We need all kinds of help in our everyday lives. Often, realizing how much help we need takes a long time. We like to believe we can do whatever needs to be done independently and without assistance.

Key Verse: "In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS" (Jeremiah 23:6).

Man is faced with multiple and very complex spiritual problems. In a bid to seek solution to, and freedom from these problems, mankind has adopted different approaches which manifest in the different religions we have all over the world today. The religions reveal the depth of the spiritual hunger and longing of man. Unfortunately, these religions have proved to be incapable of solving man’s problems and giving him the peaceful repose he desires. With all the religious activities going on in different parts of the world, the sin problem with its attendant effects appear not to be abating. Rather, they are in a more terrifying increase.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. - John 13:20

I can’t tell you how many born-again, Holy Ghost-filled Christians pick their pastor apart on Saturday night and then expect him to pray the prayer of faith for them Sunday morning! They’ll constantly make critical comments about the evangelists and preachers that God has sent to minister to them and then wonder why the rain of the Spirit has all but dried up in their churches.

Dunamis’ Daily Devotional May 28, 2017 by Pastor Paul Enenche - The Impact of Joy on Destiny Fulfilment

Topic: The Impact of Joy on Destiny Fulfilment [Sunday May 28, 2017]

Scripture: Then he said unto them Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10

Thought For The Day: Anywhere joy is in short supply, strength will also be in short supply.

The Scripture makes it clear that one reason God created us is to fulfil destiny. Everyone on earth is living to carry out a Divine assignment. However, Divine strength is needed to fulfil destiny. To be a weakling, therefore, is to forfeit your destiny.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above . . . — James 1:17

God, in His mercy and goodness, has endowed every man with certain gifts, talents, and capabilities. These are not to be used selfishly for our own profit, but for the glory of God and for the building of His kingdom. Our personalities, our intelligence, and our capabilities are gifts from His own bountiful hand. If we divert their use for our own profit, we become guilty of selfishness.
