ONE CHAPTER A DAY (OCAD)

FRIDAY 15TH OF SEPTEMBER 2023

3 JOHN 1:1-15

Verse two of the above chapter says;

² Beloved, I pray that in every way you may succeed and prosper AND BE IN GOOD HEALTH [PHYSICALLY], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually].3 John 1:2 AMP

There's a part you must play to stay healthy. This I call your PHYSICAL LABOUR. Remember, in all labour there's profit and to enjoy the profit of a healthy body, you have to consciously labour in the below.

LABOUR in these regards means: TO MAKE GREAT EFFORT. Hence, you must make great effort to

1. Eat healthy food
2. Exercise
3. Rest

It is only when your physical body is in health that your soul and spirit can reach its full capacity and express it.

God can only use a healthy body. A SICK BODY WILL HAVE NO STRENGTH TO MINISTER TO OTHERS or help others.

Taking a simple half an hour walk everyday is a good physical labour for your body.

There is a great connection between the spirit, soul and body hence A BROKEN OR SICK BODY DENIES THE SOUL AND SPIRIT IT'S FULL EXPRESSION.

Jesus did a lot of exercises, because a careful study of the life of Jesus shows that He spent quite a lot of His time walking from town to villages preaching. Jesus walked from Galilee to Jerusalem, imagine how many miles that was. That's exercise.

We read about Jesus climbing with three of His disciples to a HIGH MOUNTAIN to be alone. Mark 9:2

Six days later JESUS TOOK PETER, JAMES, and JOHN, and LED THEM UP A HIGH MOUNTAIN TO BE ALONE. As the men watched, Jesus’ appearance was transformed. Mark 9:2 NLT

DON'T BE TOO SPIRITUAL TO IGNORE PHYSICAL EXERCISES. If you want your body to be available for God, then labour to eat healthy diet, labour in exercise and give your body rest.

Remember, whatever a man sows, the same shall he reap. If you sow junk food into your body, you will reap the profit of junk food which are excessive fat and the likes.

Also, Jesus made His disciples to understand the need to rest their physical body. See Mark 6:31

³¹ And he said unto them, COME YE YOURSELVES APART INTO A DESERT (QUITE) PLACE, AND REST A WHILE: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.Mark 6:31 KJV

Even Jesus RESTED. HE told His disciples to take a break and rest. Your body is very valuable here on earth, do well to take care of it by eating healthy, do at least 7000 steps daily and rest. Sitting down for most hours of the day is a killer of the body.

LABOUR TO KEEP FIT AND YOU WILL ENJOY THE PROFIT. Don't be too busy working that you forget to REST. Even God rested, the bible says God rested from all His work. Genesis 2:2

MEDITATION SCRIPTURE
Galatians 6:7

PRAYER POINTS
1. Thank you Father for bringing my attention to fact that I owe my body good food, exercise and rest.

2. Thank you for the gift of seeing another day. Help me to labour wisely today in Jesus name.

3. I decree I am walking in good health, I shall not die but live to fulfill God's purpose in my life in Jesus name.

4. I decree that evil passes over me and my household, the Lord is our shield and He shall defend us from all harm in Jesus name.

5. I decree in all my labour in the remaining months of this year, I SHALL SEE PROFIT in Jesus name.

6. In Jesus name I decree all my labour this year shall produce double profit, double harvest and double reward.

Hallelujah! So shall it be in Jesus name.

ONE CHAPTER A DAY (OCAD)

THURSDAY 14TH OF SEPTEMBER 2023

GENESIS 8:1-22

Verse twenty-two of the above chapter says;

“WHILE THE EARTH REMAINS, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night SHALL NOT CEASE (STOP).” Genesis 8:22 NKJV

SEEDTIME in this passage can also be referred to as LABOUR TIME

HARVEST can also be referred to as PROFIT TIME.

The Word of God makes us to understand that IN ALL LABOUR THERE'S PROFIT. Hence wisdom speaks out that whoever does not labour or plant a seed shouldn't expect any harvest or profit.

A farmer that did not labour in planting his seed should never expect to receive the profit of harvest from his farm no matter how long he prays and fast there will be no profit or harvest.

GOD REWARDS LABOUR. Jesus said, "My Father is always working (labour) and so I AM."

THE FIRST AREA OF LABOUR IS:

1. SPIRITUAL LABOUR

Areas to labour spiritually are:

1.The word Acts 20:32
-The knowledge of your inheritance is hidden in the word
-The word has power in itself to produce results for you. Hence labour in studying the word so as to discover the treasure it holds for you. Mark 4:26-28, John 1:1-5

2. In prayer- Mark 1:35, Mark 11:24, Luke 18:1 - Remember, in all labour there's profit. When you labour in prayer, your profit is miracles, deeper intimacy and answered prayer.

3. In fasting- Matthew 17:21

4. Labour in building up your faith by praying in the Holy Ghost- Jude 1:20, Hebrew 4:11, Hebrew 11:6

Jude 1: 20 says; BUT YOU, beloved, BUILDING UP YOURSELVES ON YOUR MOST HOLY FAITH, PRAYING IN THE HOLY GHOST. (KJV)

LET US LABOUR THEREFORE TO ENTER INTO THAT REST, lest any man fall after the same example of UNBELIEF.Hebrews 4:11 KJV

To enter the rest you must labour in your Faith because the absence of faith is the presence of unbelief. The believer that is lazy to contend for the faith will become a partner with unbelief and doubt. Such a believer's ground can never produce profit (harvest) BECAUSE FAITH IS THE OBTAINER OF GOOD REPORT (PROFIT)

5. Labour in whatever ministry assignments God has called you into- 1 Corinthians 3:6-9

When you labour in your assignment, God will give you your profit of increase.

However to labour well, you need GRACE.

Apostle Paul said; BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD I AM WHAT I AM: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; BUT I LABOURED MORE ABUNDANTLY than they all: YET NOT I, BUT THE GRACE OF GOD WHICH WAS WITH ME.1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV

Lack of labour will frustrate grace. But GRACE + LABOUR will give you great PROFIT. Hence apostle Paul could boast of the grace of God that was upon his labour.

Cry to God for grace to labour in all the listed points above.

REMEMBER: IN ALL LABOUR THERE'S PROFIT. Labour well to obtain good profit.

MEDITATION SCRIPTURE
Proverbs 14:23

PRAYER POINTS.
1. Father thank you for reminding me of the need to labour spiritually in prayer, your word, fasting, in building my faith and in my ministry assignment.

2. Father please give me grace to labour more abundantly spiritually. I will not be spiritually inactive in Jesus name.

3. I decree I am blessed, secured, filled with testimonies, signs and wonders, health, favour, promotions and good news in Jesus mighty name.

4. I decree evil passes over my labour and I obtain my profit in Jesus name.

5. I decree the Lord is my shield and He shall defend me and my household in Jesus name.

6. I decree I SHALL SEE PROFIT IN ALL MY LABOURS in Jesus name.

7. I decree in everyday of this year my labour shall bring forth profit because it's my year of reward in Jesus name.

Hallelujah! So shall it be in Jesus name.

ONE CHAPTER A DAY (OCAD)

MONDAY 11TH OF SEPTEMBER 2023

PROVERBS 14:1-35

Verse twenty-three of the above chapter says:

²³ IN ALL LABOR THERE IS PROFIT, But idle chatter leads only to poverty.Proverbs 14:23 NKJV

IN ALL LABOUR, THERE'S PROFIT. This means no labour is in vain, good or bad labour has it's profit.

Your LABOUR is your SEED.
Your SEED is your INVESTMENT.
Your INVESTMENT will give you PROFIT, this means, in your investment lies your profit. Your level of investment determines your level of profit.

Your LABOUR determines your VALUE.

You are KNOWN by your LABOUR, this means, YOU ARE KNOWN BY WHAT YOU DO.

WHAT YOU DO IS YOUR SEED and your seed is your investment and your investment will determine your profit.

In other to see profit (reward) you must labour. Proverbs 14:23 tells us that IN ALL LABOUR, THERE'S PROFIT.

GOD REWARDS LABOUR

However it is possible to labour in vain

Hence in Isaiah 48:17 God says he will teach you to profit.

¹⁷ Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, WHO TEACHES YOU TO PROFIT, WHO LEADS YOU BY THE WAY YOU SHOULD GO.Isaiah 48:17 NKJV

God can show you where and how to labour so you can get profit. He did that to Jacob (Genesis 30:25-43) and to Isaac (Genesis 26:1-6,12)

It is not every land you must labour in, it is not every business, relationships, friendships, job that you must labour in. In other for your labor not to be in vain, ask God to help you labour in the right place.

AREAS YOU MUST LABOUR IN

1. Spiritual labour
2. Physical labour
3. Marital labour
4. Career/business labour
5. Mental labour
6. Labour in your relationship

When you labour in your workplace, the profit is salary. So also when you put the labour of love, respect, kindness, good morals in your home and marriage, the profit will be a healthy marriage, laughter, peace and lots more in your home. When you labour in doing exercise, the profit is you will be fit.

MEDITATION SCRIPTURE
Proverbs 14:23

PRAYER POINTS

1. In Jesus name, I will not labour in vain. Genesis 8:22

2. I decree to every of my labour, I shall see profit in Jesus name.

ONE CHAPTER A DAY (OCAD)

THURSDAY 7TH OF SEPTEMBER 2023

PHILIPPIANS 4:1-23 NLT

In verse 8 of Philippians chapter 4, the bible says:

⁴ And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. FIX YOUR THOUGHTS on what is true, and honourable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Philippians 4:8 NLT

From the above verse, we can see that it's your responsibility to FIX your thoughts on what is good.

What does FIX mean? It means to FASTEN SOMETHING SECURELY IN A PARTICULAR PLACE or POSITION.

However, it takes a deliberate and conscious effort to purposefully fasten something securely in a particular place or position.

Hence, we are encouraged in today's bible reading to deliberately and consciously fasten and secure our thoughts on;

1. What is True

2. What is Honourable

3. What is Right

4. What is Pure

5. What is Lovely

6. What is Admirable

7. What is Excellent

8. What is Worthy of Praise

Why are you to think on the above listed consciously and on purpose? Because:

1. You are a product of what we think. When your thoughts are bad, your actions will be bad and when your thoughts are good, your actions will be good.

2. You can't grow or operate beyond the level of your thoughts.

3. Your thoughts define you.

4. Your thoughts determine your actions.

The bible says For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, all sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander. These are what defiles you. Eating with unwashed hands will never defile you." Matthew 15:19‭-‬20 NLT

The quality of your thoughts becomes the quality of your life. You are a reflection of your thoughts.

No wonder David said in Psalm 119:11, "I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against You."

The only way to fix your thoughts on things that are true, honourable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and things that are worthy of praise is to meditate on the word of God.

The bible says in Isaiah 26:3 that You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, ALL WHOSE THOUGHTS ARE FIXED ON YOU! Isaiah 26:3 NLT

When your thoughts are fixed on God and His Word perfect peace becomes your portion because you reflect what you think.

If you want to have a healthy life, marriage, relationship. You must have a healthy thought.

Here is the conclusion of this matter BE CAREFUL HOW YOU THINK; YOUR LIFE IS SHAPED BY YOUR THOUGHTS. Proverbs 4:23 GNT

Hence you MUST pay attention to what you THINK because it determines your ACTION and your life's outcome.

Joshua 1:8 says "Study this Book of Instruction continually. MEDITATE ON IT DAY AND NIGHT so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do." Joshua 1:8 NLT

This means your success is tied to your actions and your actions are tied to your thoughts (what you meditate on).

May the Lord help you to be wise in your thoughts in Jesus name.

NOTE: BE CAREFUL HOW YOU THINK; YOUR LIFE IS SHAPED BY YOUR THOUGHTS.

Meditation Scripture
Philippians 4:8 NLT and Proverbs 4:23 GNT

Prayer Points

1. Father thank you for the gift of life and the joy of your presence.

2. Thank you Father for all you have done for me, my family and for our nation.

3. Father help me to fix my thoughts on what is right, true, honourable, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and worthy of praise.

4. Father please deliver me from every negative thought.

5. Father help me to hide your words in my heart daily.

6. I receive grace to meditate on your word daily and act on it accordingly in Jesus name.

7. In the name of Jesus, I am empowered to execute my goals victoriously.

8. In Jesus name I decree all my labour this year shall produce double profit, double harvest and double reward.

Hallelujah! So shall it be in Jesus name.

ONE CHAPTER A DAY

TUESDAY 5TH OF SEPTEMBER 2023

ROMANS 4:1-24

Verses nineteen to twenty-one of the above chapter says;

¹⁹ And BEING NOT WEAK IN FAITH, HE CONSIDERED NOT HIS OWN BODY NOW DEAD, when he was about an hundred years old, NEITHER YET THE DEADNESS OF SARAH'S WOMB:

²⁰ He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; BUT WAS STRONG IN FAITH, giving glory to God;

²¹ And BEING FULLY PERSUADED that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.Romans 4:19‭-‬21 KJV

From the above verse, precisely verse nineteen, we can see that a weak faith, is a faith that considers personal circumstances above what the WORD of God says. This in turn produces unbelief that makes the individual stagger at the promise of God.

Doubt sets in when you begin to consider (fix your gaze) on your troubles rather than on God and His word.

Abraham was strong in faith because He refused to consider the fact that his body was dead and that his wife's womb was dead.

To consider is to think carefully about something.

So instead of Abraham thinking about how bad his situation was, he instead focused on what God had promised him. Hence the bible says in verse 20b and 21 that he was strong in faith giving glory to God and he was fully persuaded that what God has promised, He was able to perform (do it). Abraham's thought was on the promise of God to him, it was not on the deadness of his body or his wife's womb.

Choose from today not to consider how bad your situation is but consider what God's word says about the situation and fix your eyes on God's promise that way your faith will remain strong.

REMEMBER:
WHATEVER YOU CONSIDER, YOU RELATE WITH.

WHATEVER YOU RELATE WITH, YOU RESPOND TO.

WHATEVER YOU RESPOND TO WILL HAVE AN INFLUENCE ON YOU.

WEAK FAITH COMES WHEN YOU CONSIDER YOUR SITUATION AND STRONG FAITH COMES WHEN YOU CONSIDER GOD'S WORD. For faith comes by hearing His word and fixing your eyes on His word (meditation).

MEDITATION SCRIPTURE
Romans 4:19

PRAYER POINTS
1. Father thank you for your ever sure promises and your faithfulness to your promises.

2. I take my eyes off my circumstances and challenges and I fix them on the word and promises of God.

3. I decree my faith is not weak because I will no longer consider my situation in Jesus name.

4. My eyes are fixed on the word of God therefore my face is lightened with joy and I will not see shame over my situation (mention it) in Jesus name.

5. I decree and declare that the angels of God are ministering to me, therefore my needs are met and my joy is full in Jesus name.

6. I decree my hope will not be deferred, my desires are manifesting and my laughter has come in Jesus name.

7. I decree my expectations are becoming a reality in Jesus name.

8. In Jesus name I decree all my labour this year shall produce double profit, double harvest and double reward.

Hallelujah! So shall it be in Jesus name.

ONE CHAPTER A DAY

MONDAY 4TH OF SEPTEMBER 2023

LUKE 1:1-80

Verse 38 of the above chapter says:

³⁸ And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; BE IT UNTO ME ACCORDING TO THY WORD. And the angel departed from her.Luke 1:38 KJV

From the above scripture, we can see that when Mary submitted herself to the WORD of God, she entered into a NEW REALITY. A reality that was better than her previous reality.

THE WORD OF GOD CONTROLS REALITY.

The WORD of God when submitted to it, controls REALITY.

As a child of God, your true reality is hidden in God's Word, your reality is hidden in the pages of the scripture. You don't have to be afraid of tomorrow, just expose yourself to the WORD of God and ACT on what it says and WATCH yourself stepping into a better REALITY.

Mary said, "Be it unto me ACCORDING to thy WORD." She heard the word and gave herself to it. You can't give yourself to or act on what you don't know.

This morning, I challenge you to seek to have an encounter with the word and as you give yourself to obey the word you receive, it will become your reality.

NOTE: You are not the only one thinking about YOU, God is thinking about YOU too. Jeremiah 29:11

MEDITATION SCRIPTURE
Luke 1:38

PRAYER POINTS
1. Father thank you for the salvation of my soul and for your love and thoughts towards me.

2. Father, open my eyes to behold your wonderful reality for me that are hidden in the scripture.

3. Lord may I never live a life that is below your standard for me.

4. Father, from today, I give myself to a constant pursuit of seeking you and your WILL for me.

5. I submit myself to the Ministry of the Holy Spirit my teacher, to reveal to me divine secrets in Jesus name.

6. Father, be it unto me according to your word. Let your WILL be done in my life in Jesus name.

7. Father help me marvellously this month in Jesus name.

8. In Jesus name I decree all my labour this year shall produce double profit, double harvest and double reward.

Hallelujah! So shall it be in Jesus name.

ONE CHAPTER A DAY BIBLE READING

WEDNESDAY 9TH OF AUGUST 2023

JOSHUA 1:1-18

Verse nine of the above chapter says:

⁸ This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but YOU shall MEDITATE in it day and night, THAT YOU MAY OBSERVE TO DO according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.Joshua 1:8 NKJV

From the above verse, we can see that your actions and activities of the day are a product of your day and night meditation.

Simply put, what you meditate on and think about day and night is what you will find yourself doing.

Meaning: YOUR ACTION IS ACCORDING TO YOUR THOUGHT. That is, YOUR ACTION IS BASED ON YOUR THOUGHT.

So if you spend your time thinking about how someone has hurt you and what you should have done to the person, your actions that day will be according to your thoughts and you will find yourself being MEAN to the person. WHY! Because hateful thought about the person was your meditation.

It is impossible to think hate and show love because your thoughts begat your actions.

YOUR DAY AND NIGHT THOUGHT CONTROLS YOU and it determines what you do each day. Hence, you are the CEO of your daily actions which is based on your day and night meditation.

That's why God told Joshua that if he wants to have a good and impactful day to day activities of leading God's people as a leader and doing well as a father, brother and friend, he must watch what his day and night meditation is focused on.

God told Joshua, the best day and night meditation is MY WORD (GOD'S WORD), because with my WORD you can never go wrong in your day to day activities and it will eventually make you prosperous and have good success.

It is what you meditate on that you will do. No wonder David said, "I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you." Psalms 119:11 NLT

REMEMBER:

IT IS WHAT YOU MEDITATE ON THAT YOU WILL DO.

YOUR DAY AND NIGHT THOUGHT CONTROLS YOU and it determines what you do each day.

YOUR ACTION IS ACCORDING TO YOUR THOUGHT. That is, YOUR ACTION IS BASED ON YOUR THOUGHT.

MEDITATION SCRIPTURE
Joshua 1:8

PRAYER POINTS
1. Father, thank you for your mercy and grace towards me at all times in Jesus name.

2. I decree and declare my day and night thoughts are in line with the Word of God.

3. I declare I am deliberate in hiding God's word in my heart.

4. I decree and declare that prosperity and good success is my portion.

5. I decree and declare that evil thoughts will not dominate my mind in Jesus name.

6. I decree that my mind is focused on that which is good, noble, praise worthy, of good report in Jesus name.

8. In Jesus name I decree all my labour this year shall produce double profit, double harvest and double reward.

Hallelujah! So shall it be in Jesus name.

ONE CHAPTER A DAY BIBLE READING

MONDAY 7TH OF AUGUST 2023

GENESIS 37:1-36

Verses five to eleven says:

⁵ ONE NIGHT JOSEPH HAD A DREAM, and when he told his brothers about it, they hated him more than ever.

⁶ “LISTEN TO THIS DREAM,” he said.

⁷ “WE WERE OUT IN THE FIELD, TYING UP BUNDLES OF GRAIN. SUDDENLY MY BUNDLE STOOD UP, AND YOUR BUNDLES ALL GATHERED AROUND AND BOWED LOW BEFORE MINE!”

⁸ His brothers responded, “SO YOU THINK YOU WILL BE OUR KING, DO YOU? DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK YOU WILL REIGN OVER US?” And they hated him all the more because of his dreams and the way he talked about them.

⁹ Soon JOSEPH HAD ANOTHER DREAM, and again he told his brothers about it. “Listen, I HAVE HAD ANOTHER DREAM,” HE SAID. “THE SUN, MOON, AND ELEVEN STARS BOWED LOW BEFORE ME!”

¹⁰ This time he told the dream to his father as well as to his brothers, but his father scolded him. “What kind of dream is that?” he asked. “Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow to the ground before you?”

¹¹ But while his brothers were jealous of Joseph, his father wondered what the dreams meant. Genesis 37:5‭-‬11 NLT

From the above verses, we see how God revealed by dream Joseph's future (Ending) to him.

Isaiah 46:10 says:
From the beginning, I say what will happen at the end. LONG AGO, I SPOKE ABOUT FUTURE THINGS THAT HAVE NOT YET HAPPENED. I say this: “My purpose will not change. I will do everything that I want to do.” Isaiah 46:10 EASY

God showed JOSEPH his ending and then brought him back to reality to journey through to that ending.

I'll say it this way that after JOSEPH dream of his future, "GOD BROUGHT JOSEPH TO THE BEGINNING OF HIS ENDING."

There's no ENDING without a BEGINNING and there's no BEGINNING without an ENDING.

No matter the greatness that God has shown you about your life, He will bring you to the beginning of your ending. This means that YOU ARE ON YOUR JOURNEY TO THE GREAT ENDING GOD HAS PREPARED FOR YOU.

However, to get to this ending, you have to follow the pathway of the ONE who has shown you your end from the beginning. The good news is that when you follow God's pathway for your life, whoever tries to truncate your journey will never succeed.

Joseph brothers said, "“Here comes the dreamer!” they said. “COME ON, LET'S KILL HIM and throw him into one of these cisterns. We can tell our father, ‘A wild animal has eaten him.’ THEN WE’LL SEE WHAT BECOMES OF HIS DREAMS!” Genesis 37:19‭-‬20 NLT

However, they've forgotten one thing that the purpose of God cannot be hindered, stopped or truncated and because Joseph was walking in God’s purpose for his life, his brothers couldn't stop that purpose neither were they able to kill his dream.

Proverbs 19:21 says:
You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail. Proverbs 19:21 NLT

Joseph's brothers plan could not override the purpose of God for Joseph which God, long ago had told Abraham about how his descendants will be a stranger in a strange land and who did God chose to fulfil this long time purpose, JOSEPH.

Then the Lord said to Abram, “You can be sure that your descendants will be strangers in a foreign land, where they will be oppressed as slaves for 400 years. Genesis 15:13 NLT

Joseph was the one chosen to bring the people of Israel into Egypt. In the big purpose and picture of God, Joseph had a part to play. GOD SHOWED HIM HIS END AND BROUGHT HIM TO THE BEGINNING OF HIS ENDING TO JOURNEY THROUGH TO THAT END.

During his journey to that end, God made all things, including Potiphar’s wife scheme to work together for Joseph's good.

For someone reading this, like Joseph, God may have shown you a vision of your tomorrow but your present doesn't look like you will ever reach that end that God has shown you. Listen, God only brought you to the beginning of your end and like Joseph, don’t be discouraged of whatever that is happening now because EVERY DAY BRINGS YOU CLOSER TO THAT END and God will certainly bring His purpose for your life that He has shown you to pass. He will make every disappointment, setup and gang up work together for your good.

In the big purpose of God, like Joseph, we all have a part to play and that part we play is called God’s purpose for our life.

We were all born by purpose and for a purpose. Jeremiah 1:4-5 tells us that.

Don't let your present situation make you walk out of God’s purpose for your life.

Remember: God will show you your end but brings you back to the BEGINNING OF YOUR ENDING for you to walk and journey through to that end. But between your beginning and your ending, there are BUMPS, TRAFFIC AND SOMETIMES TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURE THAT REQUIRE SOME WAITING and like Job said, "I will wait until my change come."

You too must wait until the road block is removed and the traffic clears.

REMEMBER: If there's a beginning, there will always be an ending, so don't stop on the way.

MEDITATION SCRIPTURE
Isaiah 46:10

PRAYER POINTS
1. Father, thank you for the gift of life and for your purpose for my life.

2. Father, if I have already gone away from your pathway please bring me back to your pathway, for your pathway is the best pathway for my life.

3. Father, please don't let me give up on my journey in Jesus name.

4. Father, just like Joseph, please make ALL THINGS work together for my good in Jesus name.

5. I decree that the purpose of God for my life will not be truncated but it shall be fulfilled in Jesus name.

6. I decree that every disappointment, setup and gang up against my destiny shall work together for my good in Jesus name.

7. I decree that irrespective of man's plan and agenda against me, God's plan and purpose for me and my family shall stand in Jesus name.

8. In Jesus name I decree all my labour this year shall produce double profit, double harvest and double reward.

Hallelujah! So shall it be in Jesus name.

ONE CHAPTER A DAY BIBLE READING

THURSDAY 3RD OF AUGUST 2023

JEREMIAH 1:1-19

Verse four of the above chapter say's:

“Before I made you in your mother’s womb, I CHOSE YOU. Before you were born, I set you apart for a SPECIAL WORK. I APPOINTED YOU as a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5 NCV

One of the meaning of APPOINTED is --‐->> a BUILDING EQUIPPED or furnished IN A SPECIFIED WAY.

The bible says in 1 Corinthians 3:9 that YOU ARE God’s BUILDING. This means as God’s BUILDING, YOU have been EQUIPPED/FURNISHED in a SPECIFIED WAY, for a SPECIAL WORK.

Another meaning of APPOINTED is --‐->> of a TIME or PLACE DECIDED ON BEFOREHAND. This means that your timing for every of God’s assignment for you and the place of assignment has been decided by God beforehand (long before you were born). So, stop trying to influence or manipulate time and people for the manifestation of any assignment or position. Learning to be patience and putting your trust in God will help you not to miss out on God’s agenda and plans for you.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 say's, "FOR EVERYTHING there is A SEASON, a TIME for every ACTIVITY under heaven."
Ecclesiastes 3:1 NLT

There's a time for your manifestation and it is attached to a particular season known by God who chose you for that special work, and which you are to do in His ordained time and season.

There was a time for Moses manifestation, there was a time for David's manifestation, there was a time for Joseph manifestation, there was a time for Paul's manifestation. That's the reason why they are no longer here on earth. God had mapped out their time.

When you run ahead of your time, you run into a different season and into another person's time and most times you paid dearly for it.

Wait for your time, seek GOD who has mapped out the plan of your season and time of manifestation.

A man was given the opportunity to move between two rooms, however, he can only move at the end of a season. The room he chose was experiencing a dry season and after that comes the rainy season.

But because the man was tired of waiting, at the end of the dry season instead of him to wait for the rainy season to start, he decided to change to the other room.

Unknown to him, the new room he entered had just finished a rainy season and was now entering a dry season. So he had to stay again and experience another dry season due to his lack of patience to wait in his previous room.

The man missed his change because he was not willing to wait. Waiting on God is not a sign of weakness but a sign of strong faith in God.

Job said, "If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I WILL WAIT, TILL MY CHANGE COMES." Job 14:14 NKJV

Sometimes, we make some choices and plan outside of God’s permission that makes us to remain in a season or repeat a season that God had originally planned for us to come out of.

In Luke 24:49 Jesus said, "AND I MYSELF WILL SEND UPON YOU what my Father has promised. BUT YOU MUST WAIT IN THE CITY until the power from above comes down upon you.” Luke 24:49 GNT

In this kingdom, there's a waiting time. Wait on God's time and you will certainly see the glory of God revealed in your life, situation and assignment.

REMEMBER: But those who WAIT on the Lord SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 NKJV

The key word for you today is WAIT ON THE TIMING OF GOD.

WAIT on God to bring about the change in your marriage, home, finance, job, business, visa, travel plans, circumstances, ministry etc, don’t look for alternatives.

May you find grace to be patient with God and WAIT until your change comes in Jesus name.
