Andrew Wommack’s Daily 2 December 2017 Devotional: Religious Pride Brings Dissension

Topic: Religious Pride Brings Dissension [Saturday December 2, 2017]

Mark 15:10 "For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy."

The Jews were God's chosen people and therefore, God's representatives on earth. Yet, they lied and condemned an innocent man to death. Pilate could see that their real motivation for wanting Jesus dead was envy. They were doing all their religious works to be seen of men, and were upset that Jesus was getting more recognition than they were. If these Jews would have thought about what type of witness they were giving, even they would have known that their actions were not inspired by God.

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland’s Daily December 2, 2017 Devotional: Free Your Faith

Topic: Free Your Faith [Saturday December 2, 2017]

And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any. - Mark 11:25

Few people realize just how closely connected faith and forgiveness are. Jesus taught about that connection in His sermon on mountain-moving faith that's recorded in Mark 11:22-26.

He said, "What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, forgive" (verses 24-25).

Billy Graham’s Daily 2 December 2017 Devotional: All He Requires

Topic: All He Requires [Saturday December 2, 2017]

Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? — John 11:40

If you are a young man or young woman hooked on dissent or despair, ready to split, then lend me your attention. My answer concerns your dreams, and the element in your make-up called “faith.” All that God requires of anyone in taking his first step toward Him and toward total self-fulfillment is faith—faith in His Word, that teaches that God loves you and that you were alienated from Him by sin, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you, that when you make a personal surrender to Him as Lord and Savior, He can transform you from the inside out.

Read: 2 Chronicles 16:1–9, Bible in a Year: Ezekiel 42–44; 1 John 1

The eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. - 2 Chronicles 16:9

In the fable of the chicken and the pig, the two animals discuss opening a restaurant together. As they plan their menu, the chicken suggests they serve ham and eggs. The pig swiftly objects saying, “No thanks. I’d be committed, but you would only be involved.”

Joyce Meyer's Daily 1 December 2017 Devotional: Stir Yourself Up!

Topic: Stir Yourself Up! [Friday December 1, 2017]

For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love. — Galatians 5:6

God’s love is unconditional and everlasting. I remember how amazed and excited I was when He revealed His love to me. I felt like I was going to burst!

Memorise: "Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands." - Job 14:15

Read: Isaiah 59:1-3

1 Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

Andrew Wommack’s Daily 1 December 2017 Devotional: Pilate Violates The Truth

Topic: Pilate Violates The Truth [Friday December 1, 2017]

Matthew 27:17 "Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, 'Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ"?

Although Pilate knew that Jesus was innocent, he looked for some diplomatic way to release Jesus that would not cause him to lose popularity with the Jewish leaders. This is why he sent Jesus to Herod. He hoped that Herod would pass judgment on Jesus and save him the trouble.

Billy Graham’s Daily 1 December 2017 Devotional: The Broken Home

Topic: The Broken Home [Friday December 1, 2017]

“There is sin in their homes, and they are polluted to the depths of their souls. But I will call upon the Lord to save me—and he will.” — Psalm 55:15,16 (TLB)

The broken home has become the number one social problem of America, and could ultimately lead to the destruction of our civilization. Since the basic unit of any society is the home, when the home begins to break, the society is on the way to disintegration. It is a threat to the American way of life. It does not make screaming headlines; but, like termites, it is eating away at the heart and core of the American structure.

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland’s Daily December 1, 2017 Devotional: Moving Forward or Slipping Back?

Topic: Moving Forward or Slipping Back? [Friday December 1, 2017]

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. - Hebrews 2:1

It's happened to all of us. We get a little of the Word of God under our spiritual belts. We have a few victories. Our lives are going great for the first time in years. Then suddenly we slip and it all falls apart. We find ourselves having to start all over again.

Our Daily Manna December 1, 2017: ODM devotional – Lord, Work Your Will In Me

Topic: Lord, Work Your Will In Me [Friday, December 1, 2017]

Basic Scriptures: Hebrew 6:1-11

Welcome the last month of this year! Today’s devotional write-up creates an atmosphere of joy/relief because it shows that your pursuit of holiness/pleasing God is not a STRUGGLE. It opens your eyes to know that God is NOT difficult to please and holiness is easy!

Hebrews 11: 6 is an existing foundation for this: “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Some delays to prayer answers this year so far, may make you to be working yourself to a point of frustration trying to be PERFECT so that you can please God for faster testimonies. You may have tried so hard and become so disappointed that you are about to give up. Well, maybe you should quit trying to perfect on your own – because none of us will ever be perfect through our own efforts.

Our Daily Bread 1 December 2017 Devotional – The Last Will Be First

Topic: The Last Will Be First — Friday December 1, 2017.

Read: Mark 9:33–37, Bible in a Year: Ezekiel 40–41; 2 Peter 3

Those who humble themselves will be exalted. Matthew 23:12

Recently I was among the last in line to board a large passenger jet with unassigned seating. I located a middle seat beside the wing, but the only spot for my bag was the overhead compartment by the very last row. This meant I had to wait for everyone to leave before I could go back and retrieve it.

Seeds of Destiny 1 December 2017 by Pastor Paul Enenche: Locating Your Bearing In Life

Topic: Locating Your Bearing In Life [Friday December 1, 2017]

Scripture: …it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened…And Jesus himself began to be…Luke 3:21-23

Thought For The Day: Life without a definite bearing becomes a burden; life without purpose is pointless.

I welcome you to the month of December, the last month of the year, 2017. Today, I decree the shielding of your life, family and destiny from any arrow of death, tragedy, calamity or disaster fired in your direction in this season, in Jesus’ Name.

DCLM Daily Manna 1 December, 2017 by Pastor Kumuyi - Prideful Prayers

Topic: Prideful Prayers — Friday December 1, 2017.

Text: Luke 18:9-17

Key Verse: "I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted" (Luke 18:14).

Jesus gave a parable of two men who went to pray. One would ordinarily expect people who pray to approach God with feelings of inadequacy, insufficiency and humility. Who would have imagined that people can pray with pride? But that was what the Pharisee did. He approached God as a self-righteous person. As such, he felt he had no reason to confess his sins to the heavenly Father.
