THURSDAY MARCH 1, 2018 Words of Life Daily Devotional DEFILEMENT DESTROYED MEMORY VERSE: Mk 7:20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. BIBLE READING: - Mark 7: 1 – 23 MESSAGE Keep your heart with all diligence for out of it are issues of life [Prov 4: 23]. Defiling thoughts come from the heart of man. Before embarking on any evil and sinful acts, you would have meditated on it from your heart for things you do come from therein. That is the engine house, processing unit of your actions. God said the thought of the heart of man is evil continually [Gen 6: 5]. These kinds of defiling thoughts are enjoyed by those that have not known the Lord, those who have not given their lives to Him or those that have fake experience of salvation. At salvation you are born of God and all things about you become new, you are renewed in your inner man and you thought and imaginations become new. You no longer enjoy defiling thoughts because a measu...

Health Food Devotional Keep the Switch of Faith Turned On February 28, 2018 Then enquired he [Jesus] of them the hour when he began to amend.... (John 4:52) Because healing is not always instantaneous, many people lose the beginning of their healing because they don't know that.  Unfortunately, whenever I say that, people usually respond, "Well, Brother Hagin, under the ministry of Jesus, Jesus always healed everybody instantly." But I read in the Bible that under the ministry of Jesus, the nobleman's son began to "amend from that hour" (John 4:52). That means that he began to get better until he was finally all right.  Many people miss out on God's blessings because they don't receive an instant manifestation. But through the years, our ministry has had innumerable people healed of terminal cancer, and of all of those cases of healing, only one person was healed instantly.  I remember laying hands on a woman in Illinois as I ministered th...

Faith Food Devotional Promise of Protection February 28, 2018 Read Psalm 91 Paul said, in writing to the church, "Ye are God's husbandry, garden, farm, ye are God's building" (1 Cor. 3:9). That means we belong to God. Now, if you have a building worth anything, even your own home, you are going to protect it every way you possibly can. And God, in His Holy Word, has promised us protection. I think the greatest such promise is Psalm 91. Many years ago, I read Psalm 91 from a Swedish translation. I found that Verse 10 translated in the King James Version as "There shall no evil befall thee" was translated in the Swedish version as,  "There shall no accident overtake thee."  I researched it and found that this meaning is, indeed, included in the original text. I then claimed this protection. Some years later, I did some checking and found that I had driven nearly two million miles preaching the Gospel without having a single accident! Understa...

How can a young man stay pure? By reading your Word and following its rules. —Psalm 119:9 (TLB) Many of the difficulties we experience as Christians can be traced to a lack of Bible study and reading. We should not be content to skim through a chapter merely to satisfy our conscience. Hide the Word of God in your heart! A little portion well digested is of greater value to the soul than a lengthy portion scanned hurriedly. Do not be discouraged because you cannot understand it all. Go on reading. As you read, the Holy Spirit will enlighten the passages for you. Reading the Bible has a purifying effect upon the heart and mind. Prayer for the day Let the enlightenment of the riches of Your Word sink deep within my soul, Lord.

GOOD SUCCESS Memorise:   This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.  Joshua 1:8 Read:  Proverbs 1:29-33  29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord: 30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. 33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. Bible in one year:  Numbers 4, 1st Corinthians 14:26-15:11 MESSAGE  Our memory verse today lets us know straightaway that not all success is the same. While some success can be good, others can...

DAILY MANNA Thursday 1 March, 2018 A Needless Fury Text: 2 Samuel 13:21-39 KEY VERSE: “Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant" (2 Samuel 13:28). MESSAGE The display of anger is a matter of choice. Hence, hardly would a sane person choose to be angry. Many people justify their acts of anger, cruelty and extreme wickedness on provocation; yet anger, no matter the cause, rest in the bosom of fools. Tamar’s rape by her half brother, Amnon, was bad enough and cause King David to grieve. But Absalom, Tamar’s elder brother, bottled his anger over the horrible act for two years. He organized an event to schematically murder Amnon. Regardless of the gravity of Amnon’s offence, it was not in anyone’s place to avenge an act of sin, cruelty or wickedness. The Bible clearly warns against rev...

 DCLM Daily Manna Wednesday February 28th, 2018 Topic: Divine Stamp Of Approval  Text: Leviticus 9:17-24 (KJV) Key Verse:   “And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces”   (Leviticus 9:24). MESSAGE Sacrifice is an act through which the blood and flesh of an animal are offered to God in the Old Testament. Some of the offerings we prescribed then were sin offering, the peace offering, the burnt offering, the grain offering and so on. Everyone was expected to make sacrifice in Israel, including their priests. It is noteworthy to observe from the text that the sacrifice the priest offered was on behalf of himself and his sons. It was still needful that Aaron should offer sacrifice for his own sin before undertaking for others. The offerings of Aaron were made in faith and total obedience to God. The animal sacrifice was not p...

These things have I written unto you that believe . . . that ye may know that ye have eternal life . . .  —1 John 5:13 Recently I read that it will cost this country a hundred billion dollars to get one man safely to Mars. It cost God the priceless blood of His only Son to get us sinners to heaven. By tasting death for every man, Jesus took over our penalty as He erased our guilt. Now God can forgive. In a moment of thanksgiving, Paul once exclaimed, “He loved me and gave Himself for me!” Will you repeat these words right now, even as you read? If you do, I believe you will have cause to be thankful too, and that you will experience the love of God in your heart. Try it and see. The Bible teaches that you can be absolutely sure that you are saved. Prayer for the day Father, although my finite mind cannot understand all the wonders of the Gospel, I thank You for the assurance of my salvation through Christ.

Open Heaven  Wednesday  28 February,  2018  Memorise:   The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.  Proverbs 15:24 Read:  Proverbs 10:8-14 (KJV)   8 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall. 9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. 10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall. 11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. 12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. 13 In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding. 14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction. Bible in one year:  Numbers 3, 1st Corinthians 14:6-25 MESSAGE  There is a relationship between wisdom and Joy. We see this t...

Health Food Devotional Jesus Came To Destroy the Works of the Devil February 27, 2018 ...For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. (1 John 3:8) A number of years ago, I knew a man in Texas who was in the healing ministry. When a tornado came along in the spring of the year, it blew down the tent in which he held revival meetings. He didn't have any insurance for the 20,000-seat tent, because no one would insure tents at that time.  So we took up an offering to help him buy another tent. During the service, I almost fell off the pew as this supposed great man of faith said, "I don't know whether the devil or God blew my tent down." Well, God is not out blowing Gospel tents down; He is putting them up.  No, God wasn't in that destruction. Floods, earthquakes, and other destructive acts are not acts of God. Where do things that hurt and destroy come from? The devil!  The Bible says that when the devil is ...

Faith Food Devotional Is Your Profit Showing? February 27, 2018 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all (1 Tim. 4:15). If your profiting is to appear to all, then it is to show! Why is godliness profitable? Why is living for God, being God's child, walking in fellowship with God, keeping God's commandments, profitable? It is because God has made some promises to His faithful children. Notice the word "promise" in yesterday's text: "having promise of the life that now is" (1 Tim. 4:8). God has made us promises in this life. Our profiting is because of these promises. And when our profiting (which is due to God's promises) appears to all, we are able to show the world there is a God in the Church - just as when Israel was walking with God, she could show the earth "there is a God in Israel" (1 Sam. 17:46). Confession:  I will meditate upon God's promises and give myself wholly ...

WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 27, 2018 Words of Life Daily Devotional BLESSED ASSURANCE MEMORY VERSE: - Heb 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. BIBLE READING: - Acts 8: 26 – 40 MESSAGE Genuine salvation takes away every bit of condemnation from the heart of the saved one and replaces it with the joy of the Lord. From our text today, the eunuch went home rejoicing when he was touched by the Lord. It an experience full of assurance, without any shadow of turning you will know it yourself, you will be sure of it, it will embolden you come to God in prayer with a full assurance. Apart from this, the spirit of God will also bear you witness that you are now a child of God [Rom 8:16]. What a blessed assurance! Have you experience this? If you have not, then I admonish thee to come to the Lord in genuine repentance from all your iniquities, confessing and forsa...

I, even I, am he that comforteth you . . .  —Isaiah 51:12 There is also comfort in mourning, because in the midst of mourning God gives a song. His presence in our lives changes our mourning into song, and that song is a song of comfort. This kind of comfort is the kind which enabled a devout Englishman to look at a deep dark hole in the ground where his home stood before the bombing and say, “I always did want a basement. Now I can jolly well build another house, like I always wanted.” This kind of comfort is the kind which enabled a young minister’s wife in a church near us to teach her Sunday school class of girls on the very day of her husband’s funeral. Her mourning was not the kind which had no hope—it was a mourning of faith in the goodness and wisdom of God; it believed that our heavenly Father makes no mistakes. Prayer for the day Oh heavenly Father, who knows what agony and grief are because of the sacrifice of Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ-I thank You for the com...

Open Heaven  Tuesday  27 February,  2018   Memorise:   Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.  Amos 3:7 Read:  Daniel 2:13-19 (KJV)   13 And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain. 14 Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon: 15 He answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel. 16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation. 17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions: 18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his f...
