Believe To See: Devotion for Tuesday September 22, 2020



MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL

Devotion for Tuesday September 22, 2020

Topic: Believe To See                                          

Text: Exodus 14:10 – 14                             

In John 20:29, Jesus said, "Thomas, because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." Thomas wanted to see the wound inflicted on Jesus before he could believe that Jesus had risen. But Jesus told him to believe before seeing for their lies the blessings of God.

When Israel came to Pi Hahiroth as God directed them in Exodus 14:2, they camped there and Pharaoh with his men came pursing. There was no way open to Israel but upward, and thence their deliverance came. In their front was the Red Sea; behind them were Pharaoh and his men while their sides are hills. Thus it was hard for them to escape. The fearful cried out to Moses out of fear while the faithful looked through the only way opened to them which is heaven.

They quarrel with Moses for bringing them out of Egypt; and were also angry with God for the greatest kindness ever done them; thus gross are the absurdities of unbelief. Our fears should quicken our prayers and endeavours, but not silence our faith and hope. So Moses told them to be still, to believe and see what God will do for them (Exodus 14:13 and 14). What these two verses imply is that it is only when they believe that they will see miracles and if they don’t, the problem will consume them.

Beloved, are you afraid because the enemies have surrounded you and you don’t have the way of escape? Let not your heart be troubled (John 14:1). Just believe God miraculous intervention because you will no longer see those enemies again. Be still! The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.     

Food for Thought: A man lives by believing something: not by debating and arguing about many things.

Memory verse: Exodus 14 v 13

Prayer: Give me the heart to believe your words, O Lord, that I might see your miracles and blessings upon my life in Jesus name.

The Key to Salvation: Devotion for Thursday April 16, 2020

MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Thursday April 16, 2020 
Topic: The Key to Salvation                                        
Text: Romans 10:1 – 11
The Jews built their religious worship on a false foundation, and refused to come to Christ for free salvation by faith. The zeal Israelites had, was not enlightened, wise, or according to truth (Roman 10:2). Some people have great zeal in religion but are blinded and hardened in sin. Right zeal will be in accordance with truth and duty; holy in character, kind in spirit, and useful in tendency.
The strictness of the law showed men their need of salvation by grace, through faith. Based on this reason; Paul tries to point out to them the key to salvation by grace which God has offered us in Christ (10:4ff). He posited in 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” His stand on this is the truth expressed in Romans 10:10.
Two things are necessary for salvation; inward faith in Christ Jesus and public confession of that faith. Paul mentions them because both are necessary for salvation; the inward faith in Christ, and the outward confession of him. It is based on the outward confession of sin that someone is baptised into the body of Christ.
Have you ever been asked, “How do I become a Christian?” Romans 10:8 - 11 give you the beautiful answer: Salvation is as close as your own lips and heart. People think it must be a complicated process, but it is not. If we believe in our heart and say with our mouth that Christ is the Risen Lord, we will be saved. Have you received salvation? If not, this is your opportunity.      
Food for Thought: The basic proofs of our Christian faith are our belief in Christ (inward faith) and confession that Jesus is Lord (outward faith).
Memory verse: Romans 10:9
Prayer: Heavenly Father, as I have confessed that Jesus is my Lord, help me to abide by it all the days of my life.

Faith And Confession Are Necessary in Salvation

Devotion for Thursday April 5, 2018
Topic: Faith And Confession Are Necessary in Salvation
Text: Romans 10:1 – 11
The Jews built on a false foundation, and refused to come to Christ for free salvation by faith as a result of not willing to open up for change. Their zeal was not enlightened, wise, or according to truth (Romans 10:2). Today, we have some people with great zeal in religion, and yet are blinded and hardened in sin. Right zeal is always found in accordance with truth and duty; holy in character and kind in spirit. The strictness of the law showed men their need of salvation by grace, through faith. It was based on this reason; Paul tried to point out that confession is necessary in salvation by grace which God has offered us in Christ (Romans 10:4ff). His position is “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” Romans 10:9. He further expressed this truth in Romans 10:10. Two things are necessary for salvation; inward faith in Christ Jesus and public confession of that faith. Paul mentions them because both are necessary for salvation; the inward faith in Christ, and the outward confession of Him. It is based on the outward confession of sin that someone is baptized into the body of Christ. Some people often ask, “How do I become a Christian?” Romans 10:8 - 11 give us the answer: Salvation is as close as our lips and heart. People think that it is a complicated process, but it is not. If we believe in our heart and say with our mouth that Christ is the risen Lord, we will be saved. Have you received salvation? If not, this is your opportunity.

Don’t Believe The Lies Of Satan

Devotion for Tuesday March 13, 2018
Topic: Don’t Believe The Lies Of Satan
Text: Genesis 3:1 – 7
In life, every one of us struggles with temptation on daily basis. We are tempted to lie, to cheat, to steal, and to indulge ourselves in countless ways that God has forbidden. We give in because of Satan who come cunningly with words as we have in our topic is always after us. Temptation is Satan’s invitation to live his kind of life and give up on God’s kind of life. Satan tempted Eve and succeeded in getting her to sin; soon after, Adam yielded to Satan’s tempting offer. So sin entered the world, and every person thereafter has been born a sinner. Today, Satan is busy trying to get us to give in to his temptations in various ways. Can you mention 5 ways he does it? Adam and Eve could have resisted temptation by recalling and standing on what God had commanded them. We must realize that being tempted is not sin. We have not sinned until we give in to the temptation. 
To resist temptation, we must (1) pray for strength to resist (Matthew 6:13), (2) we must read our bible regularly (3) stand on God’s word about such situation (4) say no when confronted with what we know is wrong (James 4:7), and (5) run away from the temptation, sometimes literally (Genesis 39:12). James 1:12 tells us about the blessings and rewards for those who don’t give in when tempted. We should determine to obey God rather than believe Satan’s lies. Resist Satan and his temptations, and live for God. Sing A&M 300
Food for Thought: Whom you obey is your master
Memory verse: Genesis 3:1
Prayer: Heavenly Father, grant me the grace to obey you always.

They Believed God’s Word

Devotion for Wednesday September 20, 2017
Topic: They Believed God’s Word
Text: Exodus 4:31
Today’s text is contradictory to what we have in Exodus 6:6 – 9 as the Israelites did not heed to Moses. Here, they believed but when what they had expected didn’t come – the immediate release from bondage of Pharaoh and his men, they didn’t believe any longer. They had thought that their deliverance would have been so easy but it was not so. This is one of the many problems of men who come to Jesus Christ because they need a good job, spouse, heal
ing, deliverance; fruit of the womb, prosperous business and breakthrough in all endeavours. When they come and didn’t receive what they had desired from God, they will easily give up.
The people believed the word of God through Moses and Aaron that God has appeared for them in mercy and was about to deliver them from bondage. God is better to us than our fears. We overcome difficulties in some o our duties when God appears for us. The yoke which appears to exasperating will be easy and the burden which seems so heavy will be made light (Matthew 11:29 – 30).
The word of God is a source of encouragement. There is nothing that gives joy more than the word of God we hear. As we hear it, it brings comfort, gives directions, removes fear and grant us boldness (Joshua 1:8; Palm 1:1 – 3).
How do you take God’s word you hear? Do you believe it? It is the word of God we hear that will bring miracles and open doors for us. Constant meditation on the word of God will strengthen our faith to believe in God. Please make time to read and meditate on the word of God for that will give you the needed result in life.
Food for Thought: They believed because they saw. Is it same with you?
Memory verse: Exodus 4:31
Prayer: Lord God, help me to always meditate on your word so I can believe in Jesus name.

To Be Saved Is Very Simple

MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Wednesday June 7, 2017                
Topic: To Be Saved Is Very Simple                                        
Text: Luke 23:40 – 43            
Some people believe that salvation offered by Christ is very hard to obtain. People who know that armed robber who Jesus forgave on the Cross of Calvary would have concluded that he went to hell fire. Those he robbed would have wished he went to hell to suffer in hell fire for all the atrocities he committed. This is how most of us condemn and conclude wrongly. We should be careful because on the last day we will be disappointed when we see the people that made heaven and hell at last. My desire is that we will make heaven in Jesus name. Paradise is the place where the souls of the righteous remain after death till the resurrection. It is a place of blessedness. On the cross, the evil doer, who believed in Christ received forgiveness and was granted access to paradise. This goes to confirm what Paul said in Rom. 10:10. From this passage we should note that there is future and eternal state into which all souls pass at death. It takes surrendering your life to Christ, believing in His death and resurrection to be saved. The thief made that simple prayers and God was merciful to him. Are your sins too many and you think God cannot forgive you? There is no sin He cannot forgive when we truly and sincerely turn to Him. The expectation from you is repentance. It was so simple for the Jailer and his family (Acts 16:30–33). It will be so simple for you if only you could believe and accept Him today.
Food for Thought: We receive salvation when we believe in our hearts and confess it with our mouth.
Memory verse: Luke 23 verse 43
Prayer: Pray about your salvation. If you have received Christ pray it will be permanent. If not, repent and surrender your life to Him now.

Are You Afraid?

MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Friday May 5, 2017
Topic: Are You Afraid?
Text: Luke 8:50
Faith is very indispensable in our daily lives. God expects us express our faith when confronted with greater challenges of life. It is lack of faith that breeds fear and doubts. Jairus came to Jesus requesting that He should come to heal her daughter. On the way, Jairus was informed that the girl was dead and he should not border Jesus any longer. A hopeless situation indeed! Some of us, we will break down in tears. It is my prayers that God will turn every hopeless situation in your life to hopeful situations in Jesus name. When Jesus heard this, He said, "Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well."
Fear is one of the things that deny us our miracle. Fear arises when we anticipate evil but when our faith is solid, we will excel. Are you afraid of failure, the danger lurking around you, business collapsing, attack, etc? Jesus is saying that you shouldn’t be afraid. There is no need to be afraid no matter the situation.
Jesus told Jairus, do not be afraid. So He is telling you not to be afraid of what has not even happened. As you remove fear and trust God for a great and fruitful future, I decree it shall be so in Jesus name. As you trust Him concerning that project you want to embark upon, He will perfect it for you. Emerson said, “All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.” Trust God for what you have not seen about your future and your career. Trust Him because He knows the best for you.
Food for Thought: “Beware of despairing about yourself; you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself” – St. Augustine.
Memory verse: Luke 8 verse 50
Prayer: 1. God, remove fear in me and give me the grace to trust you. 2. God, increase my faith in Jesus name.

Have Faith In God

MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Tuesday (Holy Week) April 11, 2017
Topic: Have Faith In God 
Text: Mark 11:20 – 26
The next morning, Tuesday of the Holy week, Jesus and His disciples passed by the same fig tree they had passed the previous day (Mark 11:13-14). Jesus had cursed the tree, saying that no one would ever eat from it. By the next day, in the morning light, they could see that the tree had withered. The sight of the withered fig tree was a surprise to the disciples and Peter was quick to point that to Jesus. In response, Jesus charged them to have faith in God.
The response of Jesus could be interpreted to mean the coming judgment on spiritual laxity in Israel and they could only be safe if they had faith in God. Their faith should not rest in a kingdom they hoped Jesus would set up, in obeying the Jewish laws, or in their position as Jesus’ disciples. Their faith should rest in God alone. Jesus then taught them a lesson about answers to prayer. He explained that they could ask anything of God and receive an answer. Jesus’ point was that in their petitions to God they must believe and not doubt (not wavering in their confidence in God).
The kind of prayer Jesus meant was the prayer that the disciples would need to endlessly pray as they faced mountains of opposition to their gospel message in the years to come. Such prayer for the advancement of God’s Kingdom would always be answered positively at God’s own time. Daily, we are faced with challenges that seem mountainous. We should have unwavering confidence in God if we hope to overcome them.   
Food for Thought: Do you have the confidence in God and strong faith which is able to accomplish things that are most difficult?
Memory verse: Mark 11 verse 22
Prayer: Grant me the confidence in you, O God, so I can accomplish difficult things with ease.

Do You Believe He Can Do It?

MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Friday March 10, 2017
Topic: Do You Believe He Can Do It?
Text: Matthew 9:27 – 34
Jesus did everything for a purpose. He didn’t respond immediately to the blind men’s pleas because He wanted to test their resolve and patience in order to find out if they had faith. Such test is necessary because it is not everyone who says he wants help really believes God can help him. The confession of many people ends on their lips.
Jesus may have waited and questioned these men to emphasize and increase their faith. When we think that God is too slow in answering your prayers, consider that He might be testing you to ascertain the level of your faith as He did with these blind men. Do you believe that God can help you? If you really want God to help you, you should trust and obey Him.
A dumb and demon possessed was brought to him. After casting out the demon, the dumb man was able to speak. The crowd marvelled at that miracle confessing that they had never seen anything like that. But the Pharisees, saw something entirely different by accusing Jesus of casting out demons with the power of demons.
The Pharisees are always angry with any good thing Jesus did. Some Christians do same too. We shouldn’t be angry when God is using others. Rather, it should be an opportunity to praise God. What the Pharisees did was aimed at poisoning the minds of those who received the miracles for the purpose of preventing the people from receiving him as the Messiah. Such should not be part of our Christian life. We should always appreciate the good people do whether they belong to our party, church, religion, faith, etc or not. Let the glory always return to God. Have a great weekend.   
Food for Thought: Do you believe that Jesus Christ is able to solve that problem?
Memory verse: Matthew 9 verse 28 - When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.”

Prayer: Lord God, I believe that you are able to solve all the problems confronting me in Jesus name. Amen.

Make Room For Jesus

MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Thursday March 9, 2017
Topic: Make Room For Jesus
Text: Matthew 9:23 – 26      
When Jesus arrived at Jairus’ house, a noisy crowd was there and probably funeral music was playing. But Jesus told them to make room because the girl was only sleeping. He spoke words of encouragement. The girl was indeed dead, and everyone from the family to the mourners knew it. Jesus knew it too, but His words were to test their faith. Unfortunately, they didn’t believe Jesus hence the ridicule (Matthew 9:24).
Make room here as Jesus used it was telling the mourners and flute players that their services are no longer needed and that they should retire. It may also be interpreted to mean remove everything that would be a hindrance or stumbling block to the restoration of the girl back to life. Jesus had to put them away because their faith is not enough for the work at hand.
Beloved, if we want God’s intervention in our predicaments and problems of life, we should make room for Jesus to operate. Making room as required of us here may be in the area of our faith, righteous living, obedience, support for His work, etc. Jesus needs the room to operate. He needs our full obedience and compliance.
It was after the crowd had been put aside that Jesus restored the girl back to life. Until we put aside our faithlessness, disobedience, ignorance, etc, God will not work in our favour. What are the things you need to put aside to make room for Jesus to heal, bless, save or deliver you? Think about it. Have a great day.
Food for Thought: Jesus works in our favour when we make room for Him.
Memory verse: Matthew 9 verse 24 - He said, “Go away, for the girl is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him
Prayer: Help me to put aside, O Lord all that whatever will be a hindrance to your working in my favour now and always in Jesus name.

Trust God All Through

My Daily Covenant (2017 Edition) Devotion for Wednesday January 4, 2017
Topic: Trust God All Through
Text: Matthew 6:25 – 30   
One major teaching of Christ during His earthly ministry was on faith in God, stressing the importance of trusting God with all our hearts as commanded even in the Old Testament. He was against distracting, distrustful cares about the things of this life. Jesus didn’t condone laziness in pretence of waiting for God to supply. Instead, He wants us to place our lives and needs in God’s hands, refusing to worry over basic needs.
To worry about your clothes shows little faith in God’s ability to supply. God clothes the flowers and grass of the field that are here today and gone tomorrow. If His creation clothes the earth with beauty and colour so rich that even King Solomon in all his glory could not match it, then He will surely care for you created in His image. Certainly, every family is preoccupied with either bills to pay or project they wish to undertake.
Most times, we fall short of our trust and believe in God to meet our needs. The reasons are our poor understanding of God, being worldly minded, fear and asking for things outside the will of God. Such shortfall in our trust and believe in God lead some Christians to run to soothsayers and native doctors when they face challenges of life instead of trusting God. If we must make progress and be successful in our endeavours this year 2017 and beyond, we must trust God in both small and big things.
Again, we should be heavenly minded to avoid distractions from the things of the world. You may trust the Lord too little, but you can never trust Him too much. All your experiences and all you have seen so far as a Christian should teach you to trust for all you haven’t seen.
Food for Thought: “Beware of despairing about yourself; you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself” - St. Augustine.
Memory verse: Matthew 6 verse 30 - But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
Prayer: Almighty God and my father in heaven, grant me the faith to keep trusting you in this Christian race till the end in Jesus name. Amen.

BELIEVE TO SEE: Devotion for Friday August 19, 2016

BELIEVE TO SEE: Devotion for Friday August 19, 2016

Text: Exodus 14:10 – 14     Memory verse: Exodus 14:13

In John chapter 20 verse 29, Jesus Christ said, "Thomas, because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." Thomas wanted to see the wound inflicted on Jesus before he could believe that Jesus had risen from the dead. To him, the wound would show that it was Jesus Christ indeed (This act of Thomas is similar to the belief of Igbo in Nigeria which says, it is only when you have seen, that you can believe). But Jesus Christ told him to believe before seeing because believing without seeing brings more blessings of God.
When the Israelis came to Pi Hahiroth as God directed them in Exodus 14:2, they camped there and Pharaoh with his men came pursing after them. There was no way open to the Israelis but upward which can only be possible if they have wings but it was that same upward that their deliverance came. In their front was the Red Sea; behind them were Pharaoh and his men while their sides were hills. Thus it was hard for them to escape. The fearful cried out to Moses out of fear while the faithful looked through the only way opened to them which is heaven; praying to God for intervention and deliverance.
The fearful amongst the Israelis quarreled with Moses for bringing them out of Egypt; and were also angry with God for the greatest unkindness ever done them. That gross misconduct showed the absurdities of unbelief. When challenges and problems confront us and we become afraid, our fears should quicken us into prayers and actions, but not silence our faith and hope. So Moses told them to be still, to believe and see what God will do for them (Exodus 14:13, 14). What these two verses imply is that it is only when they believe that they will see miracles and if they don’t, the problem will consume them.

Beloved, are you afraid because the enemies have surrounded you and you don’t have the way of escape? Let not your heart be troubled (John 14:1). Just believe that God will miraculous intervene because you will no longer see those enemies again. Be still! The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.     
Food for Thought: A man lives by believing something: not by debating and arguing about many things.
Prayer: Give me the heart to believe your words, O Lord my God, that I might see your miracles and blessings upon my life in Jesus name. Amen.

THE KEY TO SALVATION: Devotion for Thursday March 31, 2016

THE KEY TO SALVATION: Devotion for Thursday March 31, 2016

Text: Romans 10:1 – 11      Memory verse: v 9

The Jews built on a false foundation, and refused to come to Christ for free salvation by faith. The zeal Israelites had, was not enlightened, wise, or according to truth (10:2). Some people may have great zeal in religion, and yet be blinded and hardened in sin. Right zeal will be in accordance with truth and duty; holy in character, kind in spirit, and useful in tendency. The strictness of the law showed men their need of salvation by grace, through faith. It was based on this reason; Paul tries to point out to them the key to salvation by grace which God has offered us in Christ (10:4ff). This he posited in 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” His stand on this is the truth expressed in 10:10.

Two things are necessary for salvation; inward faith in Christ Jesus and public confession of that faith. Paul mentions them because both are necessary for salvation; the inward faith in Christ, and the outward confession of Him. It is based on the outward confession of sin that someone is baptised into the body of Christ. Rom 10:8–11 show us how to become a Christian. Salvation is as close as your own lips and heart. People think it must be a complicated process, but it is not. If we believe in our heart and say with our mouth that Christ is the risen Lord, we will be saved. Have you received salvation? If not, this is your opportunity. Grab it with two hands.       

Food for Thought: The basic proofs of our Christian faith are; to believe in Christ (inward faith) and confession that Jesus is Lord (outward faith).

Prayer: Heavenly Father, as I have confessed that Jesus is my Lord, help me to abide by it all the days of my life.

SECRET OF ABUNDANCE (OBEDIENCE) 2: Devotion for Friday February 26, 2016

SECRET OF ABUNDANCE (OBEDIENCE) 2: Devotion for Friday February 26, 2016

Text: Deuteronomy 28:1 – 14                 Memory verse: v 2

Moses took only 14 verses in this chapter to explain obedience which is one secret of abundance (blessing) and used the remaining 54 verses of this chapter to speak about disobedience and its consequences (curses). Why did he spend so much time talking about disobedience? He did that because human beings by nature are always inclined to sin and disobedience. Moses was emphatic that obedience is the very key (28:1, 2) to assessing the numerous blessing mentioned in 28:3–14. The blessing is promised, upon condition that they diligently hearken to the voice of God. God requires them live righteously in their families and nation at large, then the providence of God would prosper all their outward concerns.

Here is God’s assurance of blessing His people. Those blessings which others greedily follow after, and never overtake, shall follow after us, and shall be thrown into our laps by God’s special kindness because we are His people who obey His voice. Naturally, there is the tendency to bless those who obey us. This is same with God. How obedient are you to God’s commandments? Do you make light of them? Remember that just as the whole destiny of Israelis was laid before them, as it was to result from their obedience or the contrary, so it has been laid out for us. The choice is all yours.  

Food for Thought: Only he who believes is obedient and only he, who is obedient, believes.

Prayer: God, I need your grace to obey your commandments which is a prerequisite for abundant blessing in Jesus name.

BELIEVE, SO YOU CAN SEE: Devotion for Thursday November 5, 2015

BELIEVE, SO YOU CAN SEE                   Thursday November 5, 2015

Text: John 4:46 – 54               Memory verse: v 48

The nobleman believed in Jesus’ word alone, without proof (4:49-50). When the hour of healing was discovered, the man again believed, having seen the proof of Jesus’ word (4:53). The movement was from believing the words of Jesus to seeing and believing the deeds of Jesus. The man first believed in Jesus’ word. Then he believed in the deed and character of Jesus. This event showed that Jesus’ signs were not presented simply for evangelism but also for those who had already believed in a deeper and sincere level.

This man believed, went home and saw. This should be the life of true Christians. We should believe the word of God as we read it or hear it preached. We should not be carried away by desire for miracle as against the word itself for the word brings miracle. Remember the words of Jesus to Thomas in John 20:29. See also 2 Corinthians 5:7 and 1 Peter 1:8.

Food for Thought: John 20:29

Prayer: God, grant me the faith to believe so I can see your miracles.

JESUS HEALED THEM: Devotion for Sunday September 27, 2015

JESUS HEALED THEM              Sunday September 27, 2015

Text: Matthew 12:14 – 21     Memory verse: v 15

The Pharisees agreed to find some accusation against Jesus that He might be condemned to death. Aware of their plans, as His time was not come, He retired from that place. Despite His withdrawal, many people still followed Him and He healed them. He didn’t cast away people following due to the plans of the Pharisees. He still went ahead to do the work for which He came into this world. Jesus also warned them not to say who He was. Jesus did not want people coming to Him for the wrong reasons.

We shouldn’t be deterred by oppositions in doing what will benefit humanity and glorify God. Of a truth, we will have opposition in the world but that should not be enough reason to stay the work of God. Are you sick, believe God for a miracle. He will also heal you as you go to Him by faith.

Food for Thought: Mark 1:41

Prayer: Lord, heal me of every physical and spiritual problem in Jesus name.
