DCLM Daily Manna July 2, 2017 by Pastor Kumuyi – Greatness of God
Topic: Greatness of God [Sunday July 2, 2017]
Text: Job 25:1-6
Key Verse: "Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places" (Job 25:2).
One of America’s theologians, while commenting on the holiness of God, said "When we understand the character of God, when we grasp something of His holiness, then we begin to understand the radical character of our sin and hopelessness. Helpless sinners can survive only by God’s mercy.
Andrew Wommack’s daily devotional July 2, 2017 - God's Peace
Topic: God's Peace [Sunday July 2, 2017]
Luke 10:5 - "And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house."
Luke 10:5
Peace is the result of casting our care upon the Lord through prayer and thanksgiving. However, many people are asking God to give them peace so that their cares will leave. It doesn't work that way. Through faith we cast our cares on the Lord, and then God's peace comes. Christians who are lacking God's peace have not taken their cares to the Lord and left them there. All Christians have peace. It is a fruit of the Spirit that is always present in our born-again spirits. Cares will blind us to God's peace. When we eliminate the cares, peace flows.

David Abioye's Daily Devotional July 1, 2017 – You Can Have Daily Victories! (Part 2)
Topic: You Can Have Daily Victories! (Part 2) [Saturday July 1, 2017]
Continue from part 1
Faith begins with how you see life in the perspective of God’s word. Your perspective determines your outcome in life because possession begins with sight. What you see is your attraction. The picture you see is the future you pursue. I heard the story of a man who lived in a village and one day he saw a picture of Lagos. He was so excited about what he saw in the picture that he began to declare, “I must go to Lagos.” That became his motivation and his drive.
Joyce Meyer's daily devotional July 1 2017 – Do You Like Yourself?
Topic: Do You Like Yourself? [Saturday July 1, 2017]
Let him search for peace…and seek it eagerly. [Do not merely desire peaceful relations with God, with your fellowmen, and with yourself, but pursue, go after them!] — 1 Peter 3:11
Have you ever thought about your relationship with yourself? For years, it never occurred to me that I had a relationship with myself. In fact, I never thought about it until God began to teach me how to improve it. Maybe the idea that you have a relationship with yourself has never entered your mind, either. But the truth is, you spend more time with yourself than with anyone else! So getting along well with yourself is vital to your well-being.
Open Heavens 1 July 2017: Saturday daily devotional by Pastor Adeboye – Salvation Comes First

Memorise: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. – 1 Peter 2:24
Read: 1 Peter 2:21-25 (KJV)
21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

Luke 10:2 - "Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest."
LUKE 10:2
It is commonly thought that an evangelist is someone who has a passion to lead people to the Lord. But every believer should have a passion for souls. When presenting the Gospel, we are not just presenting a theory about God but the factual account of God's dealings with man as revealed through His Word, with the ultimate witness being the bodily resurrection of Jesus. Our personal witness of the reality of Jesus being alive in our lives brings Christ from theory to reality.
Billy Graham’s daily devotional July 1, 2017 - A Global Best-seller
Topic: A Global Best-seller [Saturday July 1, 2017]
His every word is a treasure of knowledge and understanding. — Proverbs 2:6 (TLB)
It is small wonder . . . the Bible has always been the world’s best-seller! No other book can touch its profound wisdom, its poetic beauty, or the accuracy of its history and prophecy. Its critics who claimed it to be filled with forgery, fiction, and unfulfilled promises are finding that the difficulties lie with themselves, and not the Bible.
Winning Wisdom: The Root of Strivings
Topic: The Root of Strivings [Saturday, 1st July 2017]
From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? James 4:1
I often wonder why there are conflicts and striving amongst Christians, given they are no longer in the old man but now in Christ. If you wonder like me, then our answer has come: our lusts. Upon our acceptance of Christ, our nature was changed to the nature of Christ, which is devoid of any iniquity. Our minds however need to me transformed daily to meet the status of our changed nature (Romans 12:2). In this process we are to yield ourselves continually to God, and whatever we do, we do them unto Him (Romans 14:7-8). That means all our desires should be unto God, and in line with His will.

Kenneth Copeland’s daily devotional July 1, 2017 - Later Is Here!
Topic: Later Is Here! [Saturday July 1, 2017]
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household? - Matthew 24:45
The Word tells us that God shows Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are "perfect" toward Him (2 Chronicles 16:9). That word perfect doesn't mean that we have to do everything just right and live without making a mistake. Thank God, we don't have to do that. It means "devoted"—a heart consecrated, dedicated, loyal and faithful to God.

Key Verse: "But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense" (2 Chronicles 26:16).
Two women, in Shanghai discussed Hudson Taylor, a radical missionary, who believed that China would never be won for Christ by quiet and ease-loving Christians. The women wondered if he was ever tempted to be prideful of his many accomplishments.
Dunamis’ Daily Devotional July 1, 2017 by Pastor Paul Enenche - In The Days Of His Power
Topic: In The Days Of His Power [Saturday July 1, 2017]
Scripture: Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning, though has the dew of thy youth. Psalm 110:3
Thought For The Day: To stand in holiness is to attract the attention and power of God.
A closer look at events in the world clearly shows that we are in the end of the age. Every sign is indicative of the fact that Jesus is about to come again. Interestingly, the time prior to His second coming is a time for the escalation of power, and that time is already at hand (Psalms 110:1-3).

Rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. 1 Peter 2:1
Recently, I switched rooms in the home I rent. This took longer than expected, because I didn’t want to simply transfer my (extensive) mess to a new room; I wanted a completely fresh and uncluttered start. After hours and hours of cleaning and sorting, bags of stuff sat by the front door to be thrown away, donated, or recycled. But at the end of this exhausting process was a beautiful room I was excited to spend time in.
