Open Heavens 21st February 2018: Wednesday daily devotional by Pastor Adeboye — Judged By The Company You Keep

Topic: Judged By The Company You Keep [Open Heavens 21 Wednesday February 2018]

Memorise: “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” - 2 Corinthians 6:14

Read: 2 Chronicles 18:28-32 (KJV)

28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead.

29 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.

Topic: You're Supposed to Enjoy Your Life [Joyce Meyer's Daily Wednesday February 21st, 2018]

There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink and make himself enjoy good in his labor. Even this, I have seen, is from the hand of God. — Ecclesiastes 2:24 (AMPC)

Enjoyment is the fuel we need to reach the finish line of an endeavor with a good attitude. We may drive ourselves to finish, but somewhere along the way we will probably become bitter and get a chip on our shoulder if we don’t lighten up and take time to celebrate the journey.

Topic: Behold the Lord [Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, Wednesday January 21, 2018]

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. - Romans 12:2

Inside, you're perfect—born again in the image of Jesus Himself. But outwardly do you find yourself falling frustratingly short of that perfection? Is there a solution? Yes! The secret lies in "the renewing of your mind."

Topic: Seek To Know God [TREM’s Daily Wednesday February 21, 2018]

“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;” Philippians 3:10 (KJV)

Beloved don’t spend your energy and time seeking things. Rather seek God, and I can assure you that the more of God you know, the more of His grace that overflows into your life. At that level, your capacity is enlarged and you can do things that others cannot dare. Grace brings you to a level of holy audacity that will shock your world.

Topic: Don’t Fight In Their Terrain [Our Daily Manna ODM Wednesday, February 21st, 2018]

Basic Scriptures: Ecclesiastes 10:1-12

I have known for many years that the EAGLE does not fight the snake on the ground. It picks it up into the sky and CHANGES the battleground, and then releases the snake into the sky. The snake has no stamina, no power and no balance in the air because that is not its terrain. It is useless, weak and vulnerable unlike on the ground where it is powerful, wise and deadly! Learn from the EAGLE! Never fight your enemies in their terrain this year!

Topic: God With Multiple Names [Teens’ Open Heavens Wednesday 21st, February 2018]

Memorise: …and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince Of Peace. - Isaiah 9:6b

Read: Isaiah 9:6

6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Topic: Seed Of Rebellion [DCLM Daily Manna Wednesday February 21st, 2018]

Text: Numbers 16:3-35 (KJV)

Key Verse: “And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?” (Numbers 16:3)

MESSAGE:

Rebellion against lawful authority always starts with a pretext of something fair. Miriam: “Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us?” (Numbers 12:2); Korah: “All the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them” (Numbers 16:3); Absalom: “Thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee ...Oh that I were made judge in the land” (2 Samuel 15:3,4); Adolf Hitler: “Promotion of the ‘pure’ race”; Judas Iscariot: “Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?” (John 12:5). The list of the rebellious is endless.

Topic: Vision And Enlargement [Seeds of Destiny Wednesday February 21, 2018]

Scripture: And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. Genesis 13:14-15

Thought For The Day: How far you see determines how far you will reach in life.

Vision is the ability to see the future even before it arrives. It is God’s plan that He has set out for you to accomplish in life. Vision could come in form of a dream, Word revelations, etc. Many people have only had minimal achievements because of their inability to see far.

Topic: Of Spiders and God’s Presence [Our Daily Bread 21 Wednesday February, 2018]

Read: Ephesians 3:14–19, Bible in a Year: Numbers 1–3; Mark 3

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being. Ephesians 3:16

Spiders. I don’t know any kid who likes them. At least not in their rooms . . . at bedtime. But as she was getting ready for bed, my daughter spied one dangerously close to her bed. “Daaaad!!!!! Spiiiderrr!!!!!” she hollered. Despite my determination, I couldn’t find the eight-legged interloper. “He’s not going to hurt you,” I reassured her. She wasn’t convinced. It wasn’t until I told her I’d stay next to her top bunk and stand guard that she agreed to get in bed.

Topic: At Thy Word [Andrew Wommack’s Daily Wednesday February 21, 2018]

Luke 5:5, "And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net."

Text: Luke 5:1-11

Peter and his companions had been working hard all night. Their efforts had not produced even one fish. They had given up and were headed home. But Jesus told them to try it just one more time.

Topic: Wisdom for Today [Billy Graham’s Daily Wednesday February 21st, 2018]

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God . . . and it shall be given him. — James 1:5

Peace with God and the peace of God in a man’s heart and the joy of fellowship with Christ have in themselves a beneficial effect upon the body and mind, and will lead to the development and preservation of physical and mental power.

Open Heavens 20th February 2018: Tuesday daily devotional by Pastor Adeboye — There Should Be No Complex

Topic: There Should Be No Complex [Open Heavens 20 Tuesday February 2018]

Memorise: “But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.” - 1 Corinthians 12:11

Read: 1 Corinthians 12:1-12 (KJV)

1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

Topic: Unity Of Purpose [DCLM Daily Manna Tuesday February 20th, 2018]

Text: 1 Chronicles 12:23-40 (KJV)

Key Verse: “All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king” (1 Chronicles 12:38)

MESSAGE:

A story is told of a man who, on his dying bed, desired to teach his three sons a lesson in unity and cooperation. He asked for a bunch of broom which he demanded they should break. Each of them tried but could not break the bunch. He then told them to untie the broom and attempt to break them stick after stick. This they did very easily and the lesson was not lost upon his sons, who vowed to their father that they would always stick together.

Topic: Avoid Satan’s Bait [Teens’ Open Heavens Tuesday 20th, February 2018]

Memorise: Till a dart strikes through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. Proverbs 7:23

Read: Judges 16:15-21

15 And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.

16 And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;

Topic: Create The Atmosphere This Year! -1 [Our Daily Manna ODM Tuesday, February 20th, 2018]

Basic Scripture: Mark 6:1-12

The atmosphere you create is what attracts the anointing that you desire. God is atmosphere-addicted! Jesus could do very little in Nazareth because the atmosphere was wrong! In some few cases, He, the Almighty God, could not heal without the right atmosphere. The blind man could not be totally healed until He took him out of town (MARK 8: 23).

Topic — Longevity Of Life: A Package Of The Covenant [Seeds of Destiny Tuesday February 20, 2018]

Scripture: And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. Leviticus 26:6

Thought For The Day: No devil can find what God hides.

The best thing that can happen to a person on earth is to be in covenant with God. The covenant is a covering and also for your colouring. You cannot live a colourless, reproachful life when you are in covenant with God.

The joy of the Lord is your strength. - Nehemiah 8:10

Joy. It's not a warm, happy feeling you're supposed to have now and then when things are going well. It's much more than that. Joy is one of the most powerful spiritual forces in the world.

Look again at Nehemiah 8:10 and I'll show you why. If you were to diagram that scripture and remove the phrase, "of the Lord," you would find what it's truly saying is this: Joy is strength. The two are interchangeable.

Topic Be Involved In Kingdom Assignment [TREM’s Daily Tuesday February 20, 2018]

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. (Matthew 5:14 NKJV)

When Jesus walked the face of the earth, His mandate was to do the Fathers’ will. Little wonder He could say ‘’It is finished’’ while He hung on the cross. Today, that same urgency to do the will of the Father has been handed over to us and we cannot afford to fail.

Topic: The Great Physician [Our Daily Bread 20 Tuesday February, 2018]

Read: Matthew 4:23–5:12, Bible in a Year: Leviticus 26–27; Mark 2

Remain in me, as I also remain in you. John 15:4

When Dr. Rishi Manchanda asks his patients, “Where do you live?” he’s looking for more than an address. He has seen a pattern. Those who come to him for help often live in conditions of environmental stress. Molds, pests, and toxins are making them sick. So Dr. Manchanda has become an advocate of what he calls Upstream Doctors. These are health care workers who, while providing urgent medical care, are working with patients and communities to get to the source of better health.

Topic: Drawn By His Power [Andrew Wommack’s Daily Tuesday February 20, 2018]

Mark 1:37, "And when they had found him, they said unto him, All [men] seek for thee."

Text: MK. 1:35-39; LK. 4:42-44

This is an amazing statement. Jesus' ministry was only a few months old and the masses of people were already seeking him out.

This is even more astonishing when you realize that Jesus had not used any of the conventional methods of publicity. In fact, Jesus had already rejected publicity during His first ministry in Jerusalem (Jn. 2:24-25). There was no natural explanation for Jesus' success.

Topic: Overcome Temptation [Billy Graham’s Daily Tuesday February 20th, 2018]

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. — Psalm 119:11

When temptations come, let me suggest that you ask God for strength-and also to show you the way He has prepared for your escape. One other word of counsel; be very sure that you do not deliberately place yourself in a position to be tempted. All of us are not subjected to the same weaknesses and temptations.

Open Heavens 19th February 2018: Monday daily devotional by Pastor Adeboye — In Jesus Name

Topic: In Jesus Name [Open Heavens 19 Monday February 2018]

Memorise: “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” – Matthew 1:21

Read: Mark 16:15-18 (KJV)

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Topic: Why Does a Good God Let Bad Things Happen? [Joyce Meyer's Daily Monday February 19th, 2018]

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love [for others growing out of God’s love for me], then I have become only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal [just an annoying distraction]. — 1 Corinthians 13:1

When we experience terrible tragedy, being angry with God is quite common. People frequently ask, “If God is good, all-powerful, and full of love for us, why didn’t He stop the thing that caused the pain?”

Topic: Right Conduct Before God [DCLM Daily Manna Monday February 19th, 2018]

Text: 1 Timothy 2:9-15 (KJV)

Key Verse: "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array” (1 Timothy 2:9).

MESSAGE:

Sometimes, we act as if we know how best to worship God acceptably, and even set up such pattern thereby throwing away what He has prescribed. We assure ourselves that we are acting in good conscience, that our intentions are noble, and therefore, expect that God will accept our way, and disregard His just and Holy standard. You may win wide applause for such actions but remember, that “which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God”.

Topic: Use Your Money Wisely [Teens’ Open Heavens Monday 19th, February 2018]

Memorise: Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle towards heaven. - Proverbs 23:5

Read: Proverbs 21:20

20 There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.

Topic Dare To Believe God [TREM’s Daily Monday February 19, 2018]

”Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” (Mark 9:23 NKJV)

I have come your way today with an assurance from God’s word that you are coming out of every difficult situation, every challenge and every pressure the enemy might have brought your way. Beloved, If God has said ‘all things are possible’, and not some things, He means exactly that and that settles it. You may be at a crossroad right now in your life and people may have said your case is hopeless, but I come to assure you that God’s word cannot be broken. Understand that men have their limitations, but the God you serve is not limited. He is still a God of possibilities. The last time I checked on Him, He declared that He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that you can ask or think. So take the limit off God and believe Him for the impossible.

Topic: Change At The Place Of Prayer [Seeds of Destiny Monday February 19, 2018]

Scripture: And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day…And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. Genesis 32:24-28

Thought For The Day: When we experience God at the place of prayer, there is a shift in the realm of the spirit.

Topic: Keep That Vow [Our Daily Manna ODM Monday, February 19th, 2018]

Basic Scripture: Malachi 2:10-17

I hear the sounds like the gushing of waterfalls: Oh! Marriage is tough! I just can’t keep that vow! Now read the poem below by Ukpon Ntinse. It’s titled; THE PROMISE:

You loved me because I am young, elegant and strong.
You cherished my youth, which blossom like a flowering plant.
But time will come when the teeth, that once where white.
Will be encrusted with green and yellow muck,
And will drop off leaving the mouth wholly putrid with smell.
But don’t forget, you once kissed those lips.
Time will come when radiance on my face will fade away and the putrescence (smell) of aged stinks.

Topic: Put the Word First [Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, Monday January 19, 2018]

Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. - Proverbs 4:5-6

Recently, God has been raising up ever-growing numbers of people who are hungry. Hungry to know their Lord in a deeper way. Hungry to serve Him—in pulpits, on mission fields, in homes, in office buildings and anywhere else He might choose to send them.

Topic: Not Enough? [Our Daily Bread 19 Monday February, 2018]

Read: 2 Corinthians 9:10–15, Bible in a Year: Leviticus 25; Mark 1:23–45

Do not forget to do good and to share with others. Hebrews 13:16

On the way home from church, my daughter sat in the backseat enjoying Goldfish crackers as my other children implored her to share. Trying to redirect the conversation, I asked the hoarder of snacks, “What did you do in class today?” She said they made a basket of bread and fish because a child gave Jesus five loaves and two fish that Jesus used to feed more than 5,000 people (John 6:1–13).

Topic: Ministry In Action [Andrew Wommack’s Daily Monday February 19, 2018]

Mk. 1:31, "And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them."

Text: MT. 8:14-17; MK. 1:29-34; LK. 4:38-41

How did Peter's mother-in-law minister unto Jesus and His disciples? Did she sit them down and preach to them? Certainly not. Yet sometimes people think the only way we can minister to another is to admonish them with the scriptures.

Topic: Tame Your Tongue [Billy Graham’s Daily Monday February 19th, 2018]

"If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. — James 1:26

The problems of the world could be solved overnight if men could get victory over their tongues. Suppose there was no anger, no profanity, no lying, no grumbling or complaining; suppose there were no dirty stories told, no unjust criticism—what a different world this would be! The Bible teaches that a man who can control his tongue can control his whole personality.

Open Heavens 18th February 2018: Sunday daily devotional by Pastor Adeboye — Stronger Than Death

Topic: Stronger Than Death [Open Heavens 18 Sunday February 2018]

Memorise: “Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” – Acts 21:13

Read: Acts 21:8-14(KJV)

8 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.

9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.

Topic: Sacrifice in Marriage [Joyce Meyer's Daily Saturday February 18th, 2018]

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love [for others growing out of God’s love for me], then I have become only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal [just an annoying distraction]. — 1 Corinthians 13:1

Early in our marriage, God had to teach me that truly loving Dave meant that sometimes I would have to make sacrifices. Up until that point, I only wanted my way and was very much like the noisy gong mentioned in 1 Corinthians 13:1.

TOPIC: TURNING THE TIDE [SUNDAY, 18TH FEBRUARY 2018]

SUNDAY SCHOOL HYMN

1. O Sunday School, on the Lord's day,
O how I love Thee well,
I am happy, it makes me glad
To rejoice at Thy birth.

TOPIC: Turning The Tide [Sunday, 18th February 2018]

1. O Sunday School, on the Lord's day,
O how I love Thee well,
I am happy, it makes me glad
To rejoice at Thy birth.

2. O Sunday School, on the Lord's day, Thy friendship suits me well,
Both young and old will sing Thy song,
We long for Sunday School.

Topic: God Rewards Faithfulness [DCLM Daily Manna Sunday February 18th, 2018]

Text: Esther 8:1-6 (KJV)

Key Verse: “And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman” (Esther 8:2).

MESSAGE:

Nothing is more profitable than serving God and our fellow men faithfully. Mordecai was faithful in his assigned task as one of the security details of King Ahasuerus. His primary duty was to ensure that unauthorised persons did not gain entrance into the king’s palace. He was also expected to have his ears to the ground and pick up important information and passed to the king, to assist him form policies and improve his rule. It was in the course of this duty that Mordecai discovered that some persons were plotting to overthrow the king. The plot was foiled, and the conspirators were arrested and punished but he was not rewarded by the king.

Topic — Folie De Grandeur: Avoid Megalomania! [Our Daily Manna ODM Sunday, February 18th, 2018]

There is what is called, Folie de grandeur (The stupidity of greatness). It is also defined as the delusion of greatness or megalomania! Oh, this big word: MEGALOMANIA! It was first used in 1885 and simply means a deceitful mental illness that is marked by feelings of personal omnipotence and grandeur!

MAEGALOMANIA is the belief that you are more powerful or richer and important than you really are! It is sometimes a mental illness! It is a crazy hunger for power and wealth and a passion for grand scheme! Sadly FOLIE DE GRANDEUR (stupidity of greatness) and MEGALOMANIA are evil twin you must run from in 2018! Don’t allow them to rob you of a wonderful life this year! They are satanic properties classified as PRIDE! Resist them because what you call GREATNESS could be stupid.

Topic You Can Confront Your Mountain [TREM’s Daily Sunday February 18, 2018]

“And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.” 1 Samuel 17:32 (KJV)

Beloved, when the Lord puts you on the spot or allows you go through certain challenges, it is so that He can flex His muscles on your behalf. The question is how will they know the strength and ability of your God if you don’t face impossible situations? For example, Goliath threatened Israel for forty days and nights. Saul and his army were running from Goliath. Fully armed yet running into the trenches, yet God did nothing. He did nothing because what He has put in His children can confront all confrontations. God has put in the believer the ingredients to confront our mountains no matter how it looks or how big it is.

Topic: Born For A Purpose [Seeds of Destiny Sunday February 18, 2018]

Scripture: …Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. John 18:37

Thought For The Day: The brevity of time on earth demands that we live purposefully and authentically on earth.

It is established from our anchor scripture that every man was born for a purpose. The brevity of time on earth demands that we live purposefully and authentically on earth. At the end, it is not the kind of house we lived in, the car we drove or the number of countries we travelled to that matters, but to what extent did we fulfil the purpose of our existence on earth.

Topic: Sin Stained...or Blood Washed? [Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, Sunday January 18, 2018]

This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. - Hebrews 10:16-17

The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament.

Topic: Courage to Be Faithful [Our Daily Bread 18 Sunday February, 2018]

Read: 1 Peter 3:13–18, Bible in a Year: Leviticus 23–24; Mark 1:1–22

Do not be frightened. 1 Peter 3:14

Fear is Hadassah’s constant companion. Hadassah, a young Jewish girl living in the first century, is a fictional character in Francine Rivers’ book A Voice in the Wind. After Hadassah becomes a slave in a Roman household, she fears persecution for her faith in Christ. She knows that Christians are despised, and many are sent to their execution or thrown to the lions in the arena. Will she have the courage to stand for the truth when she is tested?

Topic: Demons In Church [Andrew Wommack’s Daily Sunday February 18, 2018]

Mark 1:23, "And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out;...."

Text: MK. 1:21-28; LK. 4:33-37

Many people don't associate demon possessed people with places of worship. Yet most of the demons that Jesus cast out were encountered in the church. Why would demon possessed people be in church?

In some cases, the people were there because they were seeking help. The church, like a hospital, offers people the cure and therefore, attracts those who are sick.

Topic: How Will You Live? [Billy Graham’s Daily Sunday February 18th, 2018]

And Jesus said, . . . and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. — Mark 14:62

The world in which we live is full of pessimism. No Christian has the scriptural right to go around wringing his hands wondering what we are to do in the face of the present world situation. The Scripture says that in the midst of persecution, confusion, wars, and rumors of wars, we are to comfort one another with the knowledge that our Lord Jesus Christ is coming back in triumph, glory, and majesty.

Open Heavens 17th February 2018: Saturday daily devotional by Pastor Adeboye — Greater Works Than These

Topic: Greater Works Than These [Open Heavens 17 Saturday February 2018]

Memorise: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” – John 14:12

Read: 2 Kings 2:9-15 (KJV)

9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.

10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.

Topic: The Chosen Ones [Andrew Wommack’s Daily Saturday February 17, 2018]

Mark 1:16, "Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers."

Text: MT. 4:13-22; MK. 1:16-20; LK. 5:27; JN. 5:38

Jesus never chose an apostle from among the religious system. Every one of his twelve disciples were men that He chose from the secular world. It wasn't because God didn't have faith in those who were religious. It's just that most of those who were part of the religious system didn't have any faith in God.

Topic: Our Eternal Home [Billy Graham’s Daily Saturday February 17th, 2018]

I create new heavens . . . — Isaiah 65:17

What kind of place is heaven?

First, heaven is home. The Bible takes the word “home” with all of its tender associations and with all of its sacred memories and tells us that heaven is home. Second, heaven is a home which is permanent. We have the promise of a home where Christ’s followers will remain forever.

Topic: Fleeing to Strength [Our Daily Bread 17 Saturday February, 2018]

Read: 1 Corinthians 6:12–20, Bible in a Year: Leviticus 21–22; Matthew 28

You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:20

“Parry four!”

When I began fencing in high school, my coach would shout the correct defensive position (“parry”) against the move he was making. When he extended his weapon and lunged, to repel the attack I had to listen and respond immediately.

Topic: Welcome To The Big Leagues [Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, Saturday January 17, 2018]

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. - Matthew 5:11-12

When persecution comes, don't sit around whining about it. Don't waste your time feeling sorry for yourself. Despite what you may think, that persecution hasn't come because the devil gets his kicks out of picking on you. It comes because you've become a threat to him. It comes because you've put the Word in your heart, and he knows that if he doesn't get it out, you're going to cause him more trouble than he can handle.

Topic — Mugabe: I Am A Tourist Attraction This Year! [Our Daily Manna ODM Saturday, February 17th, 2018]

Basic Scripture: 1 Kings 10: 1-10

There was a worldwide cry, when the Zimbabwean president, Robert Mugabe, accused of ethnic cleansing and putting his country in a state of bankruptcy, was asked to champion tourism by the United Nations in late 2017!

SELDOM has there been such anger or questioning of the organization credibility, as that which greeted the appointment Mugabe as an international ambassador for tourism! With a line-up of tourism ambassador which included Drew Barrymore, David Beckham, Orlando Bloom, Ricky Martin and many ex-presidents, that UN’s choice of ambassador was rejected! Robert Mugabe is under international sanction, so how can you have an international tourism ambassador who can’t travel to other countries?
