DIVINE INTERRUPTIONS ⚡

Day 217

Date : Sunday 8th August. 2021.

Text: Proverbs 14:12

_"There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death."_

(please read the entire chapter for understanding).

THOUGHT CODE: Anytime Gods sends a divine interruption your way, it is a warning signal and an expression of his magnanimous love and mercy.

Not many of us like disruptions in our daily lives, especially when they cause inconvenience or a change of plans.

While Paul was on His way to Damscus to persecute the Christians, he had a divine interruption that changed the entire trajectory of his life- (Acts 9)

The conversion of Paul the Apostle was, according to the New Testament, an event in the life of Paul the Apostle that led him to cease persecuting early Christians and to become a follower of Jesus.

Anytime Gods sends a divine interruption your way, it is a warning signal and an expression of his magnanimous love and mercy.

However, so many people fail to yield to divine interruptions by God because there is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.

Alot of people have died prematurely because they failed to yield to divine interruptions; this is usually as a result of superimposing their selfwill against the divine will of God.

What we call an interruption may be a divine redirection, appointment or deliverance the Lord has scheduled for that day. God’s plan for our lives sometimes comes through interruption, and He can interrupt our plans with much better plan. Sometimes we are too overwhelmed with problems in our lives that we don’t allow divine interruption to manifest. We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by His plan for us. The benefits of God’s divine interruptions and interventions are unconditional and uncountable, and for us to experience divine interruption, worry and anxiety must die, because they lead to fear.

When divine interruption occurs in our situation, our progress, destiny, and lives change for better.

Have you ever been interrupted in life by an intervention of God? If so you are blessed. It is a demonstration of mercy and grace when God does that. I am forever grateful for those divine interruptions in the course of my life. It has redirected me from the path of evil and death.

To experience Divine Interruptions, you must be ready to submit your own plans and projects to God and be ever ready to be yielded to Gods instructions and directions.

There is someone reading this devotional today who have tried to embark on a particular project or journey but all attempts have failed.

It's time to surrender and yield to God. He has a better plan for you. To end the struggle in life, submit to Gods will.

COUNSEL: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."-Proverbs 3:5-6

PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for your divine interruptions unknown to me many times. Help me to be completely yielded to you in Jesus name, Amen!

THE POWER OF THE BLESSING!

Day 268

Date: Thursday 24th September 2020.

Text: Proverbs 10:22

The blessing of the LORD makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.

_(please read the entire chapter for understanding)._

THOUGHT CODE: "In life always do things that will power the blessings in the lives of people especially the elderly. "

THE BLESSING of The LORD is God’s original plan for you. Contrary to popular belief, He doesn’t want you sick, broke, and lonely. He wants to make you rich in every area of life—your health, finances, relationships, and more but most times we fail to understand the power of the blessing and how to propel it in our direction.

In Genesis 27:38, "Esau said to his father, "Do you only have one blessing, my father? Bless me too, my father!" And Esau wept loudly."

Esau failed to understand the mystery and power of the blessing that was why he sold it out for just a plate of morsel but Jacob had a vivid understanding of the blessing, that was why he prepared the same plate of morsel which propelled the power of the blessing in Isaac to come alive.

In life always do things that will power the blessings in the lives of people especially the elderly.

When they say you are blessed, it's not a mere word because it has the power to engineer and reconstructs your destiny in no time.

I have had many instances of elderly people pronouncing the blessings on me but I'll share just one encounter I had.

I met one renowned evangelist in Nigeria 🇳🇬 at a business center one faithful morning. And people were acting busy as if they did not know him. At the sight of him trying to photocopy a document and nobody was willing to assist him, I embraced the opportunity. I assisted him to do the photocopy, which was quite bulky, paid for it, and carried it to his vehicle. As he was about leaving he told to kneel down and he laid his hands upon me and said 'YOU WILL NEVER BE STRANDED'.

From that day till forever, I don't know what strandedness is. Whenever I'm in a strange land or place, people I do not know, always come to help and assist me because I once helped a custodian of the blessings

Men are custodians and channels of blessings. Be sensitive and alert whenever you are around aged and elderly people. They are envoys of the blessings.

Respect them, Buy them gifts, Pay their transport fare whenever you are in the same vehicle with them on transit. Always do what they can't do for themselves so that you can propel them to bless you and when they do, no devil can curse you.

COUNSEL: It takes unusual sensitivity and alacrity to obtain the blessing. Be sensitive always so that you can know what, when, and how to act in order to obtain, the blessing.

PRAYER CODE: Dear Father, I receive the grace to be sensitive always to know what, when, and how to act in Jesus' name. Amen!

YOU ARE IN-CHARGE!

Day 267

Date : Wednesday 23rd September, 2020.

Text: Luke 10:19

I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.

_(please read the entire chapter for understanding)._

THOUGHT CODE: "Satan has no power of his own. He’s using the power and authority that our misdirected faith gives him."

One of the assignment Jesus gave us as believers is to be in-charge. Ironically, a lot of believers have handed over their authority to the devil.

From our main text today, I'll like to draw your attention to just one word Jesus said-'Given' (past tense).

This implies that we already have authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy and nothing will harm us.

Jesus did not only beat the devil, but He had a triumphant procession to display the devil to the universe as a totally conquered foe. Satan should never terrify us again.

Unfortunately, many Christians haven’t seen God’s triumphant procession that was pictured in God’s Word where Satan was displayed as a totally defeated foe. They are circulating rumors that Satan is a powerful foe to be reckoned with. That’s not so. If we believe his lies, he then uses our own authority, which our fear grants him, to work his destruction in our lives. He has no power of his own. He’s using the power and authority that our misdirected faith gives him.

Jesus has given us authority and has commanded us to be in-charge with the assurance that "...nothing will harm us"

COUNSEL: Stop living like a tenant where you should be the landlord in-charge.

Arise and take responsibility for your life and destiny.

PRAYER CODE: Dear Father, I exercise my authority in Christ today and I take charge of my life and destiny; nothing shall by any means hurt me henceforth in Jesus name! Amen.

GOD HAS A STANDARD!

Day 266

Date : Tuesday 22nd September, 2020.

Text: 2Timothy 2:19

"However God's firm foundation stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness."

_(please read the entire chapter for understanding)._

THOUGHT CODE: "God's standard is the the foundation for whatever that will last and stand the test of time"

Before a building is built, a solid foundation must be laid

The reason why the world, families, businesses, relationships and systems are falling apart is because they were never built on God's standard.

From our main text today, we saw that '...God's firm foundation stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness."

To things were itemised in this verse;

i) The Lord knows those who are his,

ii) Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness

These two statements are the solid materials for building God's foundation for anything that will last and stand the test of time.

Psalm 24:3-4, says 'Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?

4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

Have you ever wondered why things dont last nor stand the test of time around you?

Check the foundation.

God's standard is the the foundation for whatever that will last and stand the test of time.

What foundation is your family, businesses, relationships or life standing on?

If it is faulty, it will not last.

You cant build a skyscrapper on a mud-house foundation.

For you to last and stand the test of time, focus on your foundation.

COUNSEL: Do not begin a family, business, relationship or vision without God's standard- it is the foundation for it to last and stand the test of time.

PRAYER CODE: Dear Father, i repent of doing things without you as the foundation. Please takeover my life, family, businesses, relationships etc henceforth in Jesus name! Amen.

SIT AND COUNT THE COST

Day 257

Date : Sunday 13th August 2020

Text: Luke 14:28 (KJV)

"For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?"

(please read the entire chapter for understanding).

THOUGHT CODE: "You will never actualize anything without first sitting and counting the cost"

God’s plan for mankind is to start and finish. God never intended for man to start and stop half way. That is why His is referred to as '... the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End'- Revelation 22:13

Man inherited this nature (starting and finishing) from God, such that when man gathered together to build the tower of babel, God had to come and scatter their language and He summarized their actions in Genesis 11:6(KJV)"And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do."

From our main text today, Jesus emphasised on the place of Discipline and Dedication in the actualization of whatever is laid up in the heart of man to do.

Have you received a vision from God about your life, family, business, marriage or destiny?

It is not wrong to sit and count the cost. Preparation is key to achieving anything worthwhile. A man who wants to build a house would need sufficient bricks, if not when he starts building, he would get stranded as a result of not counting the cost of what he set out to do at the beginning.

Sitting and counting the cost is the most important part of a thing else it leads to mockery and strandedness. Alot of people got stranded at a point in the journey of destiny because Discipline and Dedication was neglected.

However, it is always never too late to restrategize. Go back to your drawing board and discover the missing link. It is discovery that leads to destiny recovery.

You have gone too far to give up, Get up and recover all, this time around with adequate preparation and level of discipline and dedication, in Jesus Name (Amen).

COUNSEL: Decide today to always sit down and count the cost before diving into any matter of life and destiny.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, I receive the grace, strength and revigoration to restrategize and recover whatsoever is lost in my life and destiny in Jesus Name, Amen!

TREASURES IN EARTHEN VESSELS

Day 251

Date : Monday 7th September, 2020

Text: 2Corinthians 4:7(KJV)

"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

(please read the entire chapter for understanding)

THOUGHT CODE: " The reason the devil is after you is because you are gifted and God hid something on your inside that will liberate your world from darkness"

At creation, God breathe life (treasure) into man that is why the devil has been restless; roaming about like a roaring lion looking for who has this treasure so as to destroy. He killed all the male children in the time of Moses and Jesus just because of this treasure.

The reason the devil is after you is because you are gifted and God hid something on your inside that will liberate your world from darkness. But the irony of it all is that so many people are ignorant. They are not even aware of this treasure. God did not place us on this earth to just go to school, have a good job, drive nice cars, get married and have children. Those things are good but that’s not God’s main purpose for creating you and I. The reason why God brought us to this earth is because He has a special assignment for us. He wants to use us for His glory; He wants to manifest Himself through us. There is a unique contribution God wants us to make; there is a special role God wants us to play in our family, church, nation and world at large.

The Bible in Ephesians 2:10 tells us that God has prepared in advance good works He wants us to do. What this means is that even before we were born, God had in mind a work, an assignment, a role for every one of us which He brought us to this earth to fulfill. The fact that these good works are things created and prepared by God, to show that the Almighty, the Most High, the King of Creation has interest in your life and wants to use your life for His glory.

God isn’t going to come down physically to address or attend to the burning and pressing issues in our world today. It is you and I He will use to address these issues. God has put something in you to enrich or make your church, family and nation much better than what it is today. God has set you aside to do certain things that will be of immense benefit to mankind.

To fulfill your purpose and to carry out the assignment or the role God has for you, He has put certain treasures in you.

2 Corinthians 4:7 tells us that God has given us a treasure in earthen vessels. You have been divinely equipped and empowered by God for this purpose.

God cannot give you a special assignment or role to play and not equip you with what you need to carry out that assignment effectively. To be effective and fruitful in the assignment God has for you, the treasures He has put on the inside of you are the tools you need to carry out the work or fulfill the role He has set you apart for. But you must discover it in the place of prayer and study of God's word in other to enable you activate it.

COUNSEL: Engage in indepth study of God's word and Passionate prayer supported with fasting so you can discover the hidden treasures that will liberate this world from darkness.

PRAYER: Dear Father, I pray that the eyes of my understanding may be enlightened so that I may KNOW the hope to which You have called me, and the treasure hidden on my inside, that I can become a solution in this world to the Glory of your name in Jesus name (Amen).

PEACE BE STILL

Day 250

Date : Sunday 6th September, 2020

Text: Mark 4:39KJV

"And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm."

(please read the entire chapter for understanding)

THOUGHT CODE: "When we allow temptations of life to overcome us, Christ sleeps in us."

"Peace, be still" literally means, Be silent! be muzzled! These words indicate the supreme authority of Christ as God, ruling the sea with his mighty power.

Peace is not the absence of turbulent times or the denial of the raging storms of life, but the assurance you have that despite the storms of life, there is a certainty that you cannot sink or shipwreck because Jesus is in your boat. And when Jesus resides in your boat, sinking is Impossible.

When faced with a raging stormy situation, let your faith determine your confession. The disciples would have sank if Jesus was not in the boat because of their confession.

They said "...Master, carest thou not that we perish?"-Vs. 39b

Who is in your boat?

Most times, we carry wrong notions and put wrong people in our boat which is responsible for the boat sinking. The places we go, the people we listen to, what we watch is responsible for the sinking of your boat.

What you confess in the face of a fiery situation can make or mar you.

Vs.40 "And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?"

It is revealed in this scripture that fear neutralises our faith. Therefore, the absence of faith is the presence of fear, and the presence of fear is the disappearance of our6 peace.

Sometimes, what we face is meant to check the stability of our faith in God. Faith is not a verbal articulation nor positive confession, but an unmoveable conviction rooted in the promise and principles of the word of God.

The problem a lot of people have basically, is that they allow their situation determine their confessions, thereby neutralizing their convictions.

Vs.39; "And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm."

Like Jesus, whenever you sense a storm, don't fret. Speak to it. You have been given dominion over everything and everything is subject to your authority use it rightly.

COUNSEL: Decide Today and Always to speak to any stormy situation and command PEACE, BE STILL !

PRAYER: Dear Father, I command every stormy and tumultuous situation in my life to be calm and I speak peace be still in Jesus name (Amen)

THE POWER OF PATIENCE

Day 249

Date : Saturday 5th September, 2020.

Text: James 1:3(KJV)

"Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

(please read the entire chapter for understanding).

THOUGHT CODE: "If you want to be enlisted as one of God's endtime vessels, your faith in God shall be tried in other to develop the fruit of the spirit called patience"

Patience is one of the fruits of the recreated human Spirit ,it is an evidence to show that the Holy Spirit dwells in you. It isn't the ability just to wait or endure for long, it is the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.

Patience (longsuffering or forbearance) is the ability to endure difficult circumstances such as perseverance in the face of delay; tolerance of provocation without responding in annoyance/anger; or forbearance when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties.

Patience is the level of endurance one can have before negativity. It is also used to refer to the character trait of being steadfast.

The world now is in a hurry. There are so many fast scheme systems out there; fast food, quick money, get rich quick syndrome and so many others. People no longer think before taking decisions because some devilish systems have been established to make them make wrong decisions in a hurry. Nobody wants to wait, nobody wants to endure, everyone is in a hurry to get the best out of life at the detriment of others and in the quest for all these, people go as far to kill, commit suicide, overthrow others and even manipulate the downfall of others just to take their place, position or even possession.

All these signifies that the end times are upon us. That's why patience being one of the fruits of the spirit is highly necessary for every believer in other not to be deceived or carried away by the deceptive power of overnight success.

If you want to be enlisted as one of God's endtime vessels, your faith in God shall be tried in other to build up your patience level because God is not in need of the fast and furious. God lives in eternity but performs his marvellous deeds in time.

Therefore we must enroll in the school of patience till the virtue begin to ooze out of us. God's promise concerning you have a process which must be followed in other to obtain the promise.

God is aware of man's elastic limit yet he desires that man be patient lest he makes wrong decisions.

COUNSEL: Let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

PRAYER: Dear Father, I receive the grace to be patient and not be deceived to pursue after vanity, in Jesus Name (Amen).

BECOMING A SOLUTION PROVIDER

Day 247

Date : Thursday 3rd September, 2020

Text: Obadiah 1:21(KJV)

And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.

(please read the entire chapter for understanding).

THOUGHT CODE: "The more problems you solve, the more relevance you gain and money you make"

The world is in search of solution. Every time you see a problem around you, get excited and ready to solve it and provide solution.

Genesis 26:12 says-"Then Isaac sowed in that land and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him."

In the time of famine, Isaac was able to see what the Philistines could not see. In the midst of famine, he became the most prosperous person in the land. While others were busy complaining about the famine, Isaac was busy digging wells, from which he had water to water his farms.

Genesis 47:20 says-"And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh’s."

A one-time prisoner became the most important man in the same land because he had the solution to their problems.

Every prosperous man you see, solves one problem or the other because anywhere there is a problem, there is money.

The more problems you solve, the more relevance you gain and money you make.

As a child of God, you have the mind of Christ; and if you know what to do, you cannot be a part of the problem in the society. Salvation has placed you at an advantage. You have the mind of Christ and you ought to know what to do.

Jesus was faced with a seemingly huge problem of feeding thousands of people in a desert and the Bible says, “For He Himself knew what He would do.” (John 6:6). Thus the hardship in the society is an advantage to you. The more the hardship, the better for solution providers.

Our text says, "And saviours (solution providers) shall come..."- this implies that solution providers will always remain relevant and needed.

The question is, What problem are you solving?

And what solution are you providing?

It is time for you to move into the realm of solving problems and providing solution. Every man who solves a problem is rewarded accordingly. If you want reward, begin to solve problems in the society. May your eyes be open to introduce something that will solve a definite problem for humanity in Jesus name. Amen.

COUNSEL: Stop complaining and start solving problems that's the way out!

PRAYER CODE: Dear Father, open my eyes to problems I need to solve and solutions I need to to provide in Jesus name

BEARING MUCH FRUITS

Day 246

Date : Wednesday 2nd September, 2020

Text: John 12:24 (KJV)

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit.

(please read the entire chapter for understanding).

THOUGHT CODE: "The bearing of fruit, the fruit of the Spirit, can only come forth by abiding in Jesus and walking in the Spirit."

God's purpose for man is to be fruitful. This can only be possible when one is dead to self and alive in Christ. The reason so many people are fruitless is because they are not grafted in Christ.

"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you.6 As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.” John 15:1-8.

The bearing of fruit, the fruit of the Spirit, can only come forth by abiding in Jesus and walking in the Spirit. To abide in Jesus is a very active lifestyle! It means to live in such a way that I am always found to be in Him, to walk hand in hand with Him, to live according to His Word. “If you abide in Me, and my words abide in you …” It is clear that abiding in Jesus has to do with His words abiding in (i.e. dwelling in, having power in) my heart and mind.

When the words of Jesus abide and have power in your heart and mind such that you obey them by the power of the Spirit, then the fruit of the Spirit, the virtues of Jesus, will also come forth in your life.

COUNSEL: The more your abide in Christ and His word abides in you, the much fruits you will bear.

PRAYER CODE: Dear Father, I receive the grace to abide in You all the days of my life in Jesus name, Amen.
