Have Plan to Execute Your Idea

It’s not enough to just have a great idea for your business, you need to develop that idea and you need a plan to do that. You should first develop a business concept, then from there you write a solid business plan to guide your development of the business concept. The business plan is a very essential tool for bringing your business idea to life and presenting to potential investors for help in setting up your business.

A Promise For You From Bible Promises:

Topic: Don't Let Him Go [31/07/2017]

And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. Genesis 32:26. Read: Gen 32:24-30

When Jacob was about to go meet his elder brother Esau, he was afraid because of what he did to him before he left home (he stole his birthright and blessing). Gen 25:29-34, 27:26-29. Jacob knew that there must be a change, something has to be done. He knew if he should meet his brother like that without a change, there would be problem.

Today’s Scripture: "Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." – (James 1:3-4, NKJV)

Topic: Lacking Nothing [Monday July 31, 2017]

God wants you to be perfect and complete, living in His abundance, and lacking nothing on this earth. That may seem like a stretch from where you are today. It may seem far off; but in an instant, things can turn around. God has set up a system of blessing for you, and it starts with His Word. The Bible says that God has given each of us a measure of faith. We all have faith, and it’s up to us to develop it. Romans 10:17 says that faith grows as we read and study His Word. Faith, in turn, produces patience, and when we allow patience to have its perfect work in us, we will lack no good thing.

Trust this God and never forget that: “God does not pay at the end of every week or month, but He pays at last.”

Topic — More Than Your Federal Government: He Does Not Owe! [Monday 31 July, 2017]

(Hebrews 11:6-13; Psalm 37:23-26).

William Couper Brain wrote the golden lines below: “No man can be a patriot on an empty stomach.” The above statement can be confirmed by the fact that the Federal Government of Nigeria owed her pensioners billions of Naira. But good news came recently in 2017 when 41.5 billion naira was paid! “Concerned about the plight of pensioners who retired under the Contributory Pension Scheme without being paid, the Federal Government has cleared the inherited arrears of accrued pension benefits for the year 2014, 2015 and 2016 by releasing N41.5 billion to the National Pension Commission, PENCOM, for onward payment of the retires” , Minister of Finance Mrs. Kemi Adeosun disclosed. Great news but consider the three years of no food on their tables! I can imagine how many pensioners died before this payment was made!

Joyce Meyer's Daily 31 July 2017 Devotional - Kingdom Living

Topic: Kingdom Living [Monday July 31, 2017]

[After all] the kingdom of God is not a matter of [getting the] food and drink [one likes], but instead it is righteousness (that state which makes a person acceptable to God) and [heart] peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. — Romans 14:17

God’s kingdom is made up of things far greater and more beneficial than worldly possessions. God does bless us with material possessions, but the kingdom is much more than that: It is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

God sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to earth, whose short but exemplary life was the standard by which all Christians aspire to. Christ’s death was the ultimate sacrifice our Lord could make but also one that Christ himself questioned. Matthew 27:46 reports that, exhausted and desperate while nailed to the cross he asked his Father “with a loud voice, ‘Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?’ which means ‘My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?’” Of course, God had not abandoned Jesus. Subsequently to his death, Christ was resurrected. Luke 24 contains a long passage about finding that the stone had been rolled away from Jesus’ tomb yet Christ’s body was nowhere to be found. When He was resurrected, He visited his disciples and told them, ““How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” In his new life, Christ clearly saw that his suffering was part and parcel of the greater glory – that which saved all mankind.

Topic: The Power of Hospitality (5)

Dear Reader,

You are welcome again to this column. So far, I have been discussing with you, The Power of Hospitality. I believe you have been blessed.

I need to refresh your memory on why you must be hospitable. Hospitality is a universal ministry essential to the Christian life, as walking and talking are to physical life.

Topic: How To Secure Your Seat In Life [Monday July 31, 2017]

Sitting around your work is what creates a seat for you among men.

Never seek after what to be, rather pursue after what to do.

Topic: A “New Man” [Monday July 31, 2017]

Read: Colossians 1:3–14, Bible in a Year: Psalms 54–56; Romans 3

Continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. Colossians 1:23

As a group of teenagers visited a home for the elderly in Montego Bay, Jamaica, one young woman noticed a lonely looking man at the end of the room. He appeared to have little left in this world but a bed to sleep on—a bed from which he could not move because of his disability.

Topic: Don't Serve the Problem [Monday July 31, 2017]

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him. - Isaiah 55:7

You can't win a victory as long as the problem is the biggest thing in your life!

Topic: Build Them Also [Monday, 31st July 2017]

Ese Ehimare Dave

And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 2 Timothy 2:2

What is leadership if it does not produce successive leaders. A leader who do not produce worthy and even better leader as successor cannot be said to have lead well. It is incumbent on every leader to produce a better version of himself amongst those he is leading. Jesus Christ understood this, that was why "He ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach" (Mark 3:11). And when they started preaching, people got to know they've been with Jesus (Acts 4:13). And, you see, Jesus reproduced greater versions of Himself in His disciples, that was why they could do greater things (John 14:12). This should be the aim of every leader.

Open Heavens 31 July 2017: Monday daily devotional by Pastor Adeboye – Provision Before Need

Topic: Provision Before Need [Monday 31, July 2017]

Memorise: According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: – 2 Peter 1:3

Read: 2 Peter 1:1-4 (KJV)

1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

Topic: Molding You [Monday July 31, 2017]

When we suffer and die for Christ it only means that we will begin living with him in heaven. — 2 Timothy 2:11 (TLB)

I have a friend who during the Depression lost his job, a fortune, a wife, and a home. But he tenaciously held to his faith—the only thing he had left. One day he stopped to watch some men doing stonework on a huge church. One of them was chiseling a triangular piece of stone. “What are you going to do with that?” asked my friend.

Topic: The Right Righteousness [Monday July 31, 2017]

Luke 16:15 "And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God."

LUKE 16:14-15

Justification is not something to be earned, but a gift to be received. Seeking to earn salvation is the only sin that will prevent a person from being saved, because you cannot submit yourself to the righteousness of God which comes as a gift through faith as long as you are seeking to establish your own righteousness.

Seeds of Destiny 31 July 2017 Devotional by Pastor Paul Enenche: Your Words And Your Survival

Topic: Your Words And Your Survival [Monday July 31, 2017]

Scripture: The sower soweth the word. Mark 4:14

Thought For The Day: Until you value your words, you do not value your life.

Our anchor scripture clearly reveals that words are seeds. What you sow determines what you reap. What you say determines what you see.

TREM’s Daily 31 July 2017 Devotional by Dr. Mike Okonkwo - Believe the Word of God

Topic: Believe the Word of God [Monday July 31, 2017]

“If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey” Numbers 14:8 (KJV)

From the account of the story of the 12 spies, you will discover that 10 out of the 12 spies saw themselves as grasshoppers, but there were 2 men who thought differently. These were 2 people who knew who they were in God. These were 2 people who dared to believe the word of God. These 2 people must have said to themselves, if God told us that the land was flowing with milk and honey and we saw that, then the fact that He has given us the land too must be true. They valued the word of God above their natural strength and capability.

DCLM Daily Manna 31 July, 2017 by Pastor Kumuyi - Believers’ Inheritance

Topic: Believers’ Inheritance [Monday July 31, 2017]

Text: Genesis 25:1-11

Key Verse: "And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac" (Genesis 25:5).

A rich man had only one child and many servants. He appointed a favoured servant among his numerous servants as the captain over all other servants, and put all his inheritance under the care of this servant. While on his dying bed, he invited his only child and asked him to pick just one thing out of all his inheritance.

Our Daily Manna July 30, 2017: ODM devotional – The Thief That Was Envied!

What you don’t qualify for shall become your possession by the mercy of God from this day! What is hard for others will become bread for you!

Topic: The Thief That Was Envied! [Sunday 30 July, 2017]

(Hebrews 11:8-16)

Welcome to today’s devotional encounter! It is just so amazing that the Lord would allow a common criminal who probably had sent some innocent souls to an early grave, to make paradise in 24 hours! Remember that Moses with all his 80 days fasting (He did 40 days twice), could barely make it to the Promised Land. In fact, at his death, Satan was demanding an illegal hold on his body (Jude:9) and he nearly sent him to hell instead of Paradise. It took a strong archangel, Michael, to deliver Moses into paradise. Yet this thief-turned-believer made paradise in 24 hours. That was the same paradise that Abraham entered by the delay of a quarter of a century in waiting for Isaac.

David Abioye's Daily 30 July 2017 Devotional - Be Strategic

Topic: Be Strategic [Sunday July 30, 2017]

Effective and productive leaders lead by strategies

Strategy is about approach, approach determines be quality of results.

Joyce Meyer's Daily 30 July 2017 Devotional - The Gift of Repentance

Topic: The Gift of Repentance [Sunday July 30, 2017]

If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land. — 2 Chronicles 7:14

When I am headed in the wrong direction, I thank God for the ability to turn around and go in the right direction. That is actually what true repentance is. It is not just a feeling of being sorry, but also a decision to turn and go in the right direction from now on.

Open Heavens 30 July 2017: Sunday daily devotional by Pastor Adeboye – Dangers of Financial Storms II

Topic: Dangers of Financial Storms II [Sunday 30, July 2017]

Memorise: But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. – 1 Timothy 6:11

Read: 1 Timothy 6:6-11 (KJV)

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

Topic: Divine Escort [Sunday July 30, 2017]

Text: Exodus 23:20-33

Key Verse: "Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared" (Exodus 23:20).

Having delivered the Israelites from the hand of Pharaoh, the Lord kept on leading them through Moses towards the Promised Land. This time around, He decided to lead them by His Angel. He promised to send His Angel to lead and keep Israel through the wilderness into the land of Canaan, the land He had promised and prepared for them.

Topic: The Voice Of God – Container Of Supernatural Supplies [Sunday July 30, 2017]

Scripture: …cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money…. Matthew 17:27

Thought For The Day: The Voice of God travels in the atmosphere of worship.

The Voice of God is pregnant with provisions and supplies. The Voice of God contains all that is needed by man to survive and flourish on earth. The Voice of God is a key to supernatural breakthroughs and supplies.

Topic: A Covenant With Eyes [Sunday July 30, 2017]

Keep thyself pure. — 1 Timothy 5:22

Someone has said, “You cannot help the first look, but the second is sin.” Jesus indicated that you can engage in immorality by a look. The Bible places the “lust of the eye” right along with other major sins. Listen: “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.” Peter spoke of having “eyes full of adultery.” No wonder Job said, “I have made a covenant with my eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?” Your eyes see only what your soul allows them to see.

Topic: Preach The Gospel [Sunday, 30th July 2017]

Ese Ehimare Dave

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 2 Timothy 4:2

There is one thing that is paramount for us and that is preaching the gospel. This importance was emphasized in 2 Corinthians 5:17-18, when, after we are made new creatures, we were immediately handed the task of reconciling men unto God. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation." This shows the immediacy God attaches to the preaching of the gospel.

A Promise For You From Bible Promises:

Topic: Benefits Of A Christian Ambassador [30/07/2017]

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19. Read: - Matt 6:33

There are so many benefits a true ambassador stands to gain from his or her own government. But first and foremost, the interest of the government that sent an ambassador must be the most important thing in his or her life. He or she must do everything possible to see that the interest and the protection of his or her fellow countrymen is guaranteed. Any ambassador that fails in his or duty must face the music. When you fail in your responsibility to your government, you are on your own. If you abandon your country's interest and begin to run after shadow, your country would also abandon their own commitments towards you.

Topic: Blessed To Be A Blessing [Sunday July 30, 2017]

Luke 16:1 "And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods."

LUKE 16:1-18

The unjust steward was covetous. He had not been faithful to his master or to his master's debtors. He had wasted his master's goods on himself. When found out, his self-serving nature considered the options, and decided there had to be a change. He decided to use his lord's money to make friends so that when he was fired he would have someone to help him.

Topic: You Have Been Forgiven [Sunday July 30, 2017]

“But there is forgiveness with thee that thou mayest be feared.’’ Psalm 130:4 (KJV)

This scriptural text says it is God’s forgiveness that causes us to fear Him. It is not His judgment. This sounds contradictory. I thought that we take people for granted when they easily forgive. It is the man with the cane that is feared and not the one with a heart of love. This situation is true in the natural but when you understand the true love of God, then you will understand the power of the love that keeps you from sin.

Topic: You Don't Have to Fall [Sunday July 30, 2017]

Brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall. - 2 Peter 1:10

You shall never fall. When you think about it, that's a startling statement, isn't it? Most of us have been tripped up by the devil so many times we don't like to think about it.

Topic: All Generations [Sunday July 30, 2017]

Read: Psalm 145:1–13, Bible in a Year: Psalms 51–53; Romans 2

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. Psalm 145:13

My parents married in 1933 during the Great Depression. My wife and I are Baby Boomers, part of the dramatic increase in births following World War II. Our four daughters, born in the seventies and eighties, belong to Generations X and Y. Growing up in such different times, it’s not surprising that we have different opinions about many things!

Read: Psalm 121:1-4 (KJV)

1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

Topic: The Disobedience of Unbelief [Saturday July 29, 2017]

And Elisha said to him, Take bow and arrows. And he took bow and arrows. And he said to the king of Israel, Put your hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it, and Elisha put his hands upon the king’s hands. And he said, Open the window to the east. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The Lord’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Syria. For you shall smite the Syrians in Aphek till you have destroyed them. Then he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, Strike on the ground. And he struck three times and stopped. And the man of God was angry with him and said, You should have struck five or six times; then you would have struck down Syria until you had destroyed it. But now you shall strike Syria down only three times. — 2 Kings 13:15-19

Topic: Esteem The Women Folks [Saturday, 29th July 2017]

Ese Ehimare Dave

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis 1:27

Uproot every confusion and divine mistake of misunderstanding DIVINE DIRECTION in this second half.

Topic — The Wi-Fi Password: "Eat First"! [Saturday 29 July, 2017]

(1 Samuel 3:1-10).

Last week I went to a restaurant. I saw that there was a Wi-Fi service, so I asked for the password. The waitress told me, ‘EAT FIRST’, so I placed my order. After eating, I asked again for the password, and again, she told me, ‘EAT FIRST’. Feeling frustrated, I ordered black coffee. After coffee, again I asked for the password. They told me, ‘EAT FIRST’. Then angrily, I walked to the restaurant manager and asked for the password. He replied’EAT FIRST’!!! I was about to explode, when I finally saw a sign on the wall indicating “Wi-Fi password…………EAT FIRST”.

Topic: Step Into the Light [Saturday July 29, 2017]

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. - Psalm 119:105

As long as you live by the Word of God, you never have to be in the dark again. You never have to remain in confusion about which path to take. You never have to grope blindly along, struggling to find your own way.

Topic: No More Condemnation [Saturday July 29, 2017]

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Romans 8:1 (KJV)

I come to encourage you today to keep walking boldly with your shoulders raised high because there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. Never allow an event that went wrong somewhere along the line to define your life, because all your sins past, present and future have been forgiven. For as long as you do not know this, the devil will continue to accuse and condemn you. The devil lies to you that God is about to drop a hammer on your head for every mistake you make and as a result, your boldness before God disappears and you live in constant fear and condemnation.

Topic: Privileged Access [Saturday July 29, 2017]

Read: Hebrews 12:18–24, Bible in a Year: Psalms 49–50; Romans 1

You have come . . . to the church of the firstborn. Hebrews 12:22–23

Even though it was just a replica, the tabernacle set up in southern Israel was awe-inspiring. Built life-size and as close as possible to the specifications laid out in Exodus 25–27 (without actual gold and acacia wood, of course), it stood tall in the Negev desert.

Topic: An Escape Route Called Spiritual Sensitivity [Saturday July 29, 2017]

Scripture: But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 1 Corinthians 2:10

Thought For The Day: It is not possible to pray abundantly in the Spirit and not receive light or direction.

A Minister of the gospel once told the story of how he was meant to travel based on invitation to a certain country for a ministration on a certain occasion. The flight was booked and publicity was done by the host in anticipation of his trip, arrival and ministration.

DCLM Daily Manna 29 July, 2017 by Pastor Kumuyi - He Hears!!!

Topic: He Hears!!! [Saturday July 29, 2017]

Text: Psalm 116:1-6

Key Verse: "I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications" (Psalm 116:1).

A popular children story named "The giving tree" speaks of the life of an apple tree and a boy with the uncanny capacity to communicate with each other. In the story, the boy only came to the giving tree always because of what he could get at any stage of his life and after which he would leave the tree to itself.

Billy Graham’s Daily 29 July 2017 Devotional - Faith Pleases God

Topic: Faith Pleases God [Saturday July 29, 2017]

You can never please God without faith, without depending on him. Anyone who wants to come to God must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely look for him. — Hebrews 11:6 (TLB)

Andrew Wommack’s Daily 29 July 2017 Devotional - All The Wrong Reasons

Topic: All The Wrong Reasons [Saturday July 29, 2017]

Luke 15:28 "And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and entreated him."

LUKE 15:25-28

If this elder son had considered his brother, he would have rejoiced at his return even as his father did. Rather, he was totally self-centered (that's pride) and became angry. This illustrates Proverbs 13:10; "only by pride cometh contention."

Joel and Victoria Osteen’s daily July 28, 2017 devotional – Lacking Nothing

Today’s Scripture: "Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." - (James 1:3-4, NKJV)

Topic: Lacking Nothing [Friday July 28, 2017]

God wants you to be perfect and complete, living in His abundance, and lacking nothing on this earth. That may seem like a stretch from where you are today. It may seem far off; but in an instant, things can turn around. God has set up a system of blessing for you, and it starts with His Word. The Bible says that God has given each of us a measure of faith. We all have faith, and it’s up to us to develop it. Romans 10:17 says that faith grows as we read and study His Word. Faith, in turn, produces patience, and when we allow patience to have its perfect work in us, we will lack no good thing.

A Promise For You From Bible Promises:

Topic: Christian Ambassador Pt One [28/07/2017]

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:20. Read: Dan 1:6-21

Topic: He Owns All [Friday, 28th July 2017]

Ese Ehimare Dave

The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. Psalm 24:1

God is not just the Creator of all things here on earth, He owns them all. He not only owns them, He is Lord over everything. Whenever it pleases Him, especially when things are not aligning to His will, He, through a man, changes the course of event to align with His will. Every one of God's creation were not just created to fill space, they were all created for a specific purpose. He designed it that, even the trees had to emit oxygen for man and animals, while man and animals have to emit carbon-dioxide for the plants.

Memorise: And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? – Daniel 6:20

Read: Daniel 6:18-23 (KJV)

18 Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him.

Topic: Make Time with God a Priority [Friday July 28, 2017]

Then Jesus, knowing that they meant to come and seize Him that they might make Him king, withdrew again to the hillside by Himself alone. — John 6:15

If the devil can’t convince you to be idle and passive, he will drive you to do too much. As soon as you are out of balance, he can devour you (see 1 Peter 5:8). The word disciple comes from the word discipline. To be a disciple of Jesus, you must discipline yourself to follow His ways.

Topic: Be Your Own Teacher [Friday July 28, 2017]

You are your No 1 teacher, you are your most intimate and trusted teacher.

You have yourself around with you perpetually. Others may teach you and leave you to yourself but you personally go into the sphere of practical action and experience to authenticate what you have learnt and make appropriate adjustment.

A wise man once said: “If your investors are limited to this earth, you are the world’s worst investor.”

Topic — The First Wife: Your Soul! [Friday 28 July, 2017]

(Mark 8:31-38; 3 John 2)

I got this from a brother and it’s greatly appreciated. Today’s devotional story is what I consider to be a “Metaphor” ( a story in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable) or “Hyperbole” ( amplified story or claim no meant to be taken literally) depending on which angle you view it from. Such a story will be used from time to time in our devotional stories just as our Master, the Lord Himself, used parables to teach:

DCLM Daily Manna 28 July, 2017 by Pastor Kumuyi - Enduring Work

Topic: Enduring Work [Friday July 28, 2017]

Text: Judges 2:6-10

Key Verse: "And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel" (Judges 2:7).

Abraham Lincoln, one of the greatest American presidents in history, once said: "Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening my axe." This underscores the importance of preparation in any endeavour in life, if a worthwhile feat is to be achieved. Joshua spent the better part of his life preparing for the task of leading the children of Israel into the promised land.
