October Devotional From Gospel Pillars Ministry by macjireh: 3:08pm On Oct 01, 2014 |
TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL. (Excerpts from Devotionalbox by Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth). October 1st,2014. HEALING COMES WITH FORGIVENESS 2Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. * * * Where sin goes, afflictions follow (Psa. 107:17). The devil knows this well and thus lures a man into sin so that he may thereby afflict him. Remember the Bible says he came to steal, kill and destroy. Christ came however to give life to every dying soul (John. 10:10). Glory to God! God’s forgiveness is more than just a mere pardon for sin, our text today shows us how that God’s ultimate desire in forgiveness is that the forgiven be healed; healed of every brokenness and affliction that sin had brought in. Glory to God! * * * God can heal that relationship that has deteriorated because of sin. He can bring back to life your business from its present comatose condition if you will accept His forgiveness for every wrong done in your past. If you will seek His face today, confess your sin and ask His forgiveness, He will now begin to heal you. Halleluyah! * * * ISAIAH PROPHESIES: I release upon you unusual grace this month in Jesus name. * * * ACTION POINTS. DO THIS: Spend time to pray and ask the lord to heal your land, job and home. * * * SAY THIS: I decree and I declare restoration of all that I have lost in the past months. * * * STUDY YOUR BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JEREMIAH 45&46 LUKE 1, PSALMS 124 * * * CHRISTIAN MISSION FOCUS: COUNTRY: THAILAND 85% are Buddhist. There is extensive sex trade in the Thai society. Millions derive income from this “industry”. Estimated 2.8 million engage in sex work. Some claim 10% of all tourist money is spent on the sex industry. * * * PRAY FOR THAILAND: We are praying for the girls involved especially those forced that the Lord will provide a way of escape for them. * * * CONTINUOUS PRAYER: Startup prayer: Dear father, thank you for your healing power, I ask that you heal everything in my life in Jesus name. * * * PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Oh Lord my God, I thank you for your love for me since the year began. Father, I consecrate myself to you this month. Let me not fall short of your best for my life this year. Open my heart to new things by your Spirit. Fill me with the knowledge of your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Let my heart yearn for you every hour in Jesus Name.

TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL. (Excerpts from Devotionalbox by Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth)). October 2nd YOU ARE NOT YOUR MISTAKES Ezekiel 36:25 “Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.” * * * There is no mother who does not know the difference between her baby and his wet diapers. Both may be together most times, but they are never the same. Just as God would do as we see in our text today, a mother knows how to separate the wet unpleasant diaper from her precious gift out of heaven! * * * The thinking that your errors define who you are is a lie of the devil. That thought pattern cripples a believer and further drives him away from God. The truth however is that when you got born again, God placed His own life in you so you might have His own nature. In other words, you are no longer to be known by what you did or did not do wrong; rather, His nature is your new identity! Halleluyah! * * * If you must look away from your mistakes and forgive yourself for shortcomings in your walk with God, you must focus on your righteousness in Christ. In Him, you are forgiven, faultless and full of grace. Dwell on this truth today and rejoice because you are not your mistakes; you are who God says you are! * * * LIANNA PROPHESIES: Be conscious of your new identity in Christ today in Jesus name * * * . Action Points DO THIS: Consider the ways you have been thinking about yourself in comparison with the word, deliberately speak what God has said about you over and over again. * * * SAY THIS: I decree and I declare that as He is so am I in this world. * * * STUDY YOUR BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JEREMIAH 47&48, LUKE 2, PSALMS 125 * * * CHRISTIAN MISSION FOCUS: COUNTRY: THAILAND. 85% are Buddhist. There is extensive sex trade in the Thai society. Millions derive income from this “industry”. Estimated 2.8 million engage in sex work. Some claim 10% of all tourist money is spent on the sex industry. * * * PRAY FOR THAILAND: We are praying for the girls who enter willingly that the eyes of their understanding will be opened, that they will encounter Christ. * * * CONTINUOUS PRAYER. Startup prayer: Dear father, help me to embrace the life you have given me, strengthen me to think in line with your word about me in Jesus name. PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Oh Lord my God, I thank you for your love for me since the year began. Father, I consecrate myself to you this month. Let me not fall short of your best for my life this year. Open my heart to new things by your Spirit. Fill me with the knowledge of your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Let my heart yearn for you every hour in Jesus Name. Amen. * * * * * * * OTHER RESOURCES: Download the FREE Devotional Box App and enjoy the Audio version daily at www.devotionalbox.com * * * Study devotionals on specific topics with our TOPICAL STUDY at www.devotionalbox.com/ topics.php * * * Chat with other users: www.devotionalb ox.com/discussion.php * * * LIKE us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ devotionalbox * * * You can also order the print edition of the Devotional Box, share your testimonies or make further enquiries by calling +234 813 520 3592. |

TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL. (Excerts from Devotionalbox By Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth). October 3rd THE MERCY OF GOD RESTORES Joel 2:25 “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.” * * * God’s forgiveness is a total package; with it comes peace, healing and restoration. Our text today stresses His resolve to restore lost years, and the days spent in the dark and lonely hole of separation from Him. Oh, what hope we have in Him! * * * The Mercy of God extended towards those who call upon Him draws unto them the grace and resources needed to rebuild their lives, business, homes or whatever sin had brought to destruction (Isa. 60:10), so much more that they are back on their feet in no time, giving Glory to God. Amen! * * * What have you lost as a result of your unfaithfulness to God in the past, the mercy of God is bringing them back to you in manifolds now; say amen to that. As you humble yourself before Him today and ask for His forgiveness in areas of shortcomings, be assured that by His mercy, He would restore you completely. Amen! * * * ISAIAH PROPHESIES: Receive restoration of all your wasted years now in Jesus name. * * * ACTION POINTS: DO THIS:Begin to confess the word in our opening text, concerning all you have lost. * * *. SAY THIS: I decree and I declare that my life is complete in Him. * * * STUDY YOUR BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JEREMIAH 49&50, LUKE 3, PSALMS 126 * * * CHRISTIAN MISSION FOCUS: COUNTRY: THAILAND 85% are Buddhist. There is extensive sex trade in the Thai society. Millions derive income from this “industry”. Estimated 2.8 million engage in sex work. Some claim 10% of all tourist money is spent on the sex industry. * * * PRAY FOR THAILAND: We are praying for those who exploit others and profit from the trade that moral conviction will fall upon them and that they will know the Lord. * * * CONTINUOUS PRAYER Startup prayer: Dear father, I apply for mercy for all I have done wrongly in the past, I receive restoration in Jesus name. PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Oh Lord my God, I thank you for your love for me since the year began. Father, I consecrate myself to you this month. Let me not fall short of your best for my life this year.

TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL. (Excerpts from Devotionalbox by Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth). October 4th UNFORGIVENESS HINDERS PRAYERS Mark 11:25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. Today, we find another reason in Scriptures why we ought to forgive those who trespass against us. And this time, it bothers on how God responds to and answers our own prayers. * * * Prayer is a confident call of a believer unto His Father for some intervention in the earthly realm. However, guilt, fear and unforgiveness may get in the way of our prayers because they corrupt our faith/ confidence. Moreso, unforgiveness is pride, because it is a denial of our own fallibility. * * * Is there anything you still hold against anyone in your life? The Lord says for you to let go of such today. Forgive those who have hurt you even so deeply, so that He may hearken to your own cries for help in time. Forgive, so that your prayers may not be hindered. * * * LIANNA PROPHESIES: Receive grace to let go of every hurt today in Jesus name. * * * ACTION POINTS: DO THIS: Consider all who have wrong you, call them or speak with them, let them be aware that all has been forgiven. * * * SAY THIS: I decree and I declare that I live in peace with all men. * * * STUDY YOUR BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JEREMIAH 51&52, LUKE 4, PSALMS 127 * * * CHRISTIAN MISSION FOCUS: COUNTRY: THAILAND 85% are Buddhist. There is extensive sex trade in the Thai society. Millions derive income from this “industry”. Estimated 2.8 million engage in sex work. Some claim 10% of all tourist money is spent on the sex industry. * * * PRAY FOR THAILAND: We pray that this wicked flesh trade be brought to an end by the power of the Spirit in Thailand in Jesus name. * * * CONTINUOUS PRAYER: Startup prayer: Dear father, strengthen me to walk in love with all who have wronged me in Jesus name. PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Oh Lord my God, I thank you for your love for me since the year began. Father, I consecrate myself to you this month. Let me not fall short of your best for my life this year. Open my heart to new things by your Spirit. Fill me with the knowledge of your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Let my heart yearn for you every hour in Jesus Name.

TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL: (Excerpts from Devotionalbox By Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth). October 5th YOU DESERVE FORGIVENESS Hebrews 7:25 “Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” Our text today says the literarily impossible; Jesus saves completely even those who are totally condemned. In the world today, the highest penalty there is for crime is death; some slow, shameful, painful death maybe, reserved for those who commit some unthinkably gruesome acts. In the days of Jesus, crucifixion was it. Yet on that cross, Christ reached out and saved a thief who had been condemned to such a punishment (Luke 23:40-43). There is no sin too big for Christ’s blood to completely blot out forever; yours inclusive. Those who come to God through the Blood of Jesus Christ are saved completely and eternally. However far you might have gone into the pit of sin or guilt before now, come boldly to God in the Name of Jesus and receive forgiveness for all your sins and salvation for your soul. You are not irredeemable! * * * ISAIAH PROPHESIES: May this revelation inundate in your spirit today in Jesus name. * * * ACTION POINTS. DO THIS: Receive the forgiveness that Christ brings for yourself and teach others to accept this revelation. * * * SAY THIS: I decree and I declare that I am a new creature, all things are passed away, all things have become new. * * * STUDY YOUR BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: LAMENTATION 1&2, LUKE 5, PSALMS 128 * * * CHRISTIAN MISSION FOCUS: COUNTRY: THAILAND. 85% are Buddhist. There is extensive sex trade in the Thai society. Millions derive income from this “industry”. Estimated 2.8 million engage in sex work. Some claim 10% of all tourist money is spent on the sex industry. * * * PRAY FOR THAILAND: We pray for the users of this trade, we pray for their freedom from this vile practice, we pray that their eyes be opened. * * * CONTINUOUS PRAYING. Startup prayer: Dear Lord, I refuse every lie of the devil that keeps me in bondage of my past in Jesus name. PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Oh Lord my God, I thank you for your love for me since the year began. Father, I consecrate myself to you this month. Let me not fall short of your best for my life this year. Open my heart to new things by your Spirit. Fill me with the knowledge of your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Let my heart yearn for you every hour in Jesus Name.

TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL. (Excerpts from Devotionalbox By Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth). October 6th GO AGAIN 2Samuel 12:20 “Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped:” * * * Often times after a (perceived) failure, many believers simply refuse to give themselves a second chance as a result of loss of confidence in self; what we sometimes call low self-esteem. * * * David’s first attempt to bring the Ark of the Covenant into Jerusalem ended in a disaster (2 Sam. 6). The death of Uzzah could be attributed to David’s failure to heed the Lord’s prescriptions regarding how the Ark should be transported. For this, Uzzah died, yet David after a protracted season of remorse and fear returned to bring the Ark into Jerusalem in the proper and prescribed manner. This is instructive. * * * What mistake in your past are you yet to forgive yourself for? Though the consequences of your actions may have been grave, if you have sought and received the Lord’s forgiveness on the matter, it is time to move on with your life. Get up from the mire of guilt and low self-esteem. A forgiven man has the grace to step out and win where he has once failed! Halleluyah! * * * LIANNA PROPHESIES: Be freed from every guilt and condemnation in your past now in Jesus name. * * * ACTION POINTS: DO THIS: Ponder on the decisions you made as a result of your past mistake, resume all that you were actively involved in before and more in the house of God and things of the Spirit. * * * SAY THIS: I decree and I declare that no guilt has a place in my life. I have a new life in Christ. * * * STUDY YOUR BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: LAMENTATION 3&4, LUKE 6, PSALMS 129 * * * CHRISTIAN MISSION FOCUS: COUNTRY: THAILAND. 85% are Buddhist. There is extensive sex trade in the Thai society. Millions derive income from this “industry”. Estimated 2.8 million engage in sex work. Some claim 10% of all tourist money is spent on the sex industry. * * * PRAY FOR THAILAND: We pray that Christian and moral leaders will dominate the government and make laws that will discourage the trade. * * * CONTINUOUS PRAYING: Startup prayer: Dear Lord, strengthen me to stand boldly for you no matter my past in Jesus name. * * * PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Oh Lord my God, I thank you for your love for me since the year began. Father, I consecrate myself to you this month. Let me not fall short of your best for my life this year. Open my heart to new things by your Spirit. Fill me with the knowledge of your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Let my heart yearn for you every hour in Jesus Name.

TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL. (Excerpts from Devotional box by Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth). October 7th 2014. GOD WANTS YOU TO LIVE **** Ezekiel 18:23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? **** In some quarters, God is perceived as a fuming, vengeful dictator who is out to crush sinners. Yet, His motive behind rebuking or chastising His own people is nothing hideous as we see in our text today. He convicts to restore. The destruction of the wicked gives Him no Joy. **** While it is clear that God detests sin (Prov. 16:9), His desire is that those who have fallen short of His glory by the reasons of transgressions might consider their ways, acknowledge their sins, repent of their evil ways and walk in righteousness. Halleluyah! **** Go about your work today knowing that your soul is precious to God. His desire is that you live and not die. His arms are open each and every day to you and to everyone who through guilt and the ignorance of sin have strayed from His loving presence. He has a place for you in His eternal purpose, and it is His will that you live to fulfil that purpose. Amen! **** SALVATION - Romans 10 9 : If you don’t know Jesus, then pray this prayer – Lord Jesus, I believe you died for me on the cross to save me from sin. I accept you as Lord and confess I am born again. Amen. If you prayed this prayer, let us know, please call +234-806-914-6649 **** CONTINUOUS PRAYING Do you know you can pray throughout your day in the midst of your activities?

TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL. (Excerpts from Devotionalbox by Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth). October 8th SINS OF THE HEART Hebrew 12:15 “Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;” * * * The root of sin is always in the heart, Jesus says (Matt. 15:16-20), and from there it spreads out until it consumes the whole being; for out of the heart flows the issues of life (Prov. 4:23). With unforgiveness, the story is the same; it is a sin of the heart that defiles and sets a man at variance with God. * * * With Unforgiveness or bitterness in the heart, it is impossible to love or receive love, even from God. It remains one of the most brutal ways to hurt oneself as it does not only take away your peace, it defiles your heart also. Little wonder why our text today says that such residue in the heart would trouble those who hold them. * * * It is your responsibility to be alert and guard your heart against such killer sins as hatred, bitterness and Unforgiveness by forgiving those who have hurt you. This is how to have peace with God and obtain the necessary confidence to stand before Him today and every day. * * * LIANNA PROPHESIES: I command every root of bitterness to go from you now in Jesus name. * * * ACTION POINTS: DO THIS: Spend more time with the word and in prayer and ask the Holy Spirit to help you love no matter what. * * * SAY THIS: I decree and I declare that I walk in the Spirit at all times and do not give an occasion to the flesh. * * * STUDY YOUR BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: EZEKIEL 2&3, LUKE 8, PSALMS 131 * * * CHRISTIAN MISSION FOCUS: COUNTRY: THAILAND. 85% are Buddhist. There is extensive sex trade in the Thai society. Millions derive income from this “industry”. Estimated 2.8 million engage in sex work. Some claim 10% of all tourist money is spent on the sex industry. * * * PRAY FOR THAILAND: We are praying for a mighty out pour of God’s spirit upon the nation, that every blind eye will be opened to the Gospel of Christ. * * * CONTINUOUS PRAYING: Startup prayer: Dear Lord, purge me of every hatred and bitterness and help me to walk in love at all times in Jesus name. PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Oh Lord my God, I thank you for your love for me since the year began. Father, I consecrate myself to you this month. Let me not fall short of your best for my life this year.

TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL. (Excerpts from Devotionalbox By Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth). October 9th FORGIVENESS HEALS YOU Psalms 107:17-18 “Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.” * * * Is there any connection between sin and sickness? Yes! Our text today and many others from scriptures emphasize the fact that disobedience to God does lead to ill health. Jesus Himself established a clear connection between sin and sickness when He healed the man at the Pool of Bethesda (John 5:14). * * * When a man holds a grudge against another and continues in unforgiveness, he opens up himself to afflictions in his own body. As the fury and hatred grows, so also is his vulnerability to all sorts of mental disturbances. Is that desirable? Absolutely not; it is God’s desire that you live in health. Glory to God! * * * If unforgiveness does open the door to all sorts of physical illnesses, choosing to forgive those who have hurt you then is a therapy to your body. In heeding to God’s instruction to forgive those who trespass against you today, you will now begin to experience healing not just in your mind, but also in your body. Say Amen to that! * * * ISAIAH PROPHESIES: May every part of you be whole now in Jesus name. * * * ACTION POINTS DO THIS: Consider if there is any atom of unforgiveness in you, deliberately let it go. * * * SAY THIS: I decree and I declare that sickness has no place in me. I live in divine health. * * * STUDY YOUR BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: EZEKIEL 4&5, LUKE 9, PSALMS 132 * * * CHRISTIAN MISSION FOCUS: COUNTRY: TUNISIA 65% out of the over 10 million people in Tunisia are unreached with the Gospel. Muslims are 99% of the population. The necessity of learning Arabic is a barrier to many non-Tunisian Missionaries. However, there are many open doors to share the Gospel than ever before. * * * PRAY FOR TUNISIA: We are praying that more missionaries will arise and take advantage of the opportunity now available to preach the Gospel. * * * CONTINUOUS PRAYING: Startup prayer: Dear Lord, help me to give myself to your every instruction in Jesus name PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Oh Lord my God, I thank you for your love for me since the year began. Father, I consecrate myself to you this month. Let me not fall short of your best for my life this year. Open my heart to new things by your Spirit. Fill me with the knowledge of your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Let my heart yearn for you every hour in Jesus Name.

TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL. (Excerpts from Devotionalbox by Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth). October 10th PATIENCE, THE GREASE FOR FORGIVENESS Ephesians 4:2 “With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love.” * * * Forgiveness is being patient with the imperfect, nurturing the hope that they would someday change. Unforgiveness is strongly connected to impatience. It stems out of the thought that the defaulter will never change. Yet this is not what God’s Word says. * * * Who would ever think that a deserter like Simon Peter would preach the Gospel in the hearing of thousands of persons, out of which three thousand got saved? Every believer is a work in progress. As each one yields his or herself to the Spirit of God through His Word, the Bible says we are changed into the image of Christ by the day. Halleluyah! * * * Therefore, it is expedient that you consider those with whom you have an issue or the other today. See them through the eyes of Christ, forbearing them in love and praying that the Lord would perfect that which He has begun in their lives. As you grow in patience with others, so will your capacity to forgive increase. Glory to God! * * * LIANNA PROPHESIES: Let patience be made perfect in you today in Jesus name. * * * ACTION POINTS: DO THIS: Ponder on those times you walked in hate, unforgiveness etc, picture what led to it.

TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL (Excerpts from Devotionalbox By Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth). October 11th HUMILITY, THE FUEL FOR FORGIVENESS 1Corinthians 4:7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? * * * It is not unusual to look down on or take offence with people who behave in ways we consider too primitive or below our standards. In fact, the reason we get hurt and upset often times is because the people we have dealings with seem to function at a lower level of wisdom or understanding. This tendency however stands in the way of forgiveness. * * * Our text today states clearly that the reason you appear wiser, richer or more cultured than another person is because of God’s Grace, not purely a result your own effort. God’s Grace is the reason you appear better than others. Why then are you upset with those who are yet to attain your level of wisdom or understanding? * * * What is expedient is that you pray for those who have disappointed you one way or another,; pray that the same Grace of God that worked in you would work in them also and perfect their characters. This is true humility, the fuel for forgiveness. * * * LIANNA PROPHESIES: Receive grace to walk well with others today in Jesus name. * * * ACTION POINTS: DO THIS: Consider how you treat people around, have you always looked down on others? If yes, make amends. * * * SAY THIS: I decree and I declare that I represent Christ in all that I do. * * * STUDY YOUR BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: EZEKIEL 8&9, LUKE 11, PSALMS 134 * * * CHRISTIAN MISSION FOCUS: COUNTRY: TUNISIA 65% out of the over 10 million people in Tunisia are unreached with the Gospel. Muslims are 99% of the population. The necessity of learning Arabic is a barrier to many non-Tunisian Missionaries. However, there are many open doors to share the Gospel than ever before. * * * PRAY FOR TUNISIA: We are praying that every hold of religion be broken from the people of Tunisia. * * * CONTINUOUS PRAYING Startup prayer: Dear Lord, cause humility to well up on my inside in Jesus name. * * * PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Oh Lord my God, I thank you for your love for me since the year began. Father, I consecrate myself to you this month. Let me not fall short of your best for my life this year. Open my heart to new things by your Spirit.

TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL. (Excerpts from Devotionalbox By Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth). 12th October SOW FORGIVENESS Luke 6:38b “For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” * * * The principle of sowing and reaping applies also in forgiveness. Jesus talked about the fact that our willingness and speed in forgiving others is the same measure to which God will forgive us also. * * * What does this tell us? If we sow forgiveness, we will reap forgiveness. Sowing forgiveness begins with little things and in little ways. The decision to overlook the comments of an errant driver in traffic can be a good way to start; letting the apprentice have a second chance at delivering an excellent service could be yet another. When anyone comes to apologize, do not delay in letting go also. Praise God! * * * As you step out today, it is important that you programme yourself to overlook minor issues and to readily forgive those who admit their wrongs, knowing that you also would need forgiveness someday soon. It is the same measure that you mete out that would be measured to you again! * * * ISAIAH PROPHESIES: Receive grace to let go of every wrong today in Jesus name. * * * ACTION POINTS: DO THIS: Ask the Holy Spirit for grace to overlook every wrong done to you today. * * * SAY THIS: I decree and I declare that my life is an example of Christ. * * * STUDY YOUR BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: EZEKIEL 10&11, LUKE 12, PSALMS 135 * * * CHRISTIAN MISSION FOCUS: COUNTRY: TUNISIA 65% out of the over 10 million people in Tunisia are unreached with the Gospel. Muslims are 99% of the population. The necessity of learning Arabic is a barrier to many non-Tunisian Missionaries. However, there are many open doors to share the Gospel than ever before. * * * PRAY FOR TUNISIA: We are praying for Tunisia, that the Gospel of Christ will prevail in the land. * * * CONTINUOUS PRAYING: Startup prayer: Dear Lord, I pray for grace to act and live just like you in Jesus name. PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Oh Lord my God, I thank you for your love for me since the year began. Father, I consecrate myself to you this month. Let me not fall short of your best for my life this year.

TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL. (Excerpts from Devotionalbox by Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth). October 13th THE FORGIVENESS FAST Isaiah 58:6 “Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?” Many think that fasting is all about abstaining from food for a season, but God’s Word shows us that fasting is far more than that. Fasting involves consciously defrauding oneself of a right/privilege while giving to another; letting go of what ought to be yours so you can make someone else more comfortable. * * * Our text today shows us how forgiveness is an integral part of a true fast, as it reveals God’s instructions that we loose the bands of wickedness, undo heavy burdens and free the oppressed while we fast. This is so because forgiveness eases the burden of guilt, and when we forgive, we undo heavy burden. Halleluyah! * * * Unforgiveness is an oppression. Just as it is wrong to owe someone and refuse to pay, holding back forgiveness especially from those who have shown remorse for their deeds is oppression. Are there people whose peace depends on your forgiveness? God would want you to set them free today as you observe the forgiveness fast. Amen! * * * LIANNA PROPHESIES: May every part of your life reflect the word in Jesus name. * * * ACTION POINTS: DO THIS: Ponder on all those who have offended you in the past and consider if they have received your forgiveness, If not find ways to communicate it to them. * * * SAY THIS: I decree and I declare that I walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh. * * * STUDY YOUR BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: EZEKIEL 12&13, LUKE 13, PSALMS 136 * * * CHRISTIAN MISSION FOCUS: COUNTRY: TUNISIA 65% out of the over 10 million people in Tunisia are unreached with the Gospel. Muslims are 99% of the population. The necessity of learning Arabic is a barrier to many non-Tunisian Missionaries. However, there are many open doors to share the Gospel than ever before. * * * PRAY FOR TUNISIA: We are frustrating every plan of the devil to hinder the spread of the Gospel all across the land. * * * CONTINUOUS PRAYING: Startup prayer: Dear Lord, remind me of all those I need to forgive completely in Jesus name. PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Oh Lord my God, I thank you for your love for me since the year began. Father, I consecrate myself to you this month. Let me not fall short of your best for my life this year. Open my heart to new things by your Spirit. Fill me with the knowledge of your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Let my heart yearn for you every hour in Jesus Name.

ENJOY TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL (Excerpts from Devotional Box By Dr Isaiah & Lianna Wealth) * * * 15th October, 2014. TITLE: ADMIT YOUR WEAKNESS SCRIPTURAL TEXT: (2Corinthians 12:9) “And he said unto me, my grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." * * * Our text today is God’s response to Paul’s cry to Him concerning a certain present weakness, and as you can see, God did not deny the presence of that weakness. Instead, He shows us how that His Grace and Strength is all we need to overcome our weaknesses. Strength gives you a perfect mark before God for that season wherein you are weak. It also works in you Grace to overcome. So while it is admissible to say that you have a certain present weakness as an individual, understand that those weaknesses do not define you, because in God’s perfect plan, they can only be present for a season, not forever. Glory to God! Have you been let down by your own ability lately? There is no need denying your present weakness, admit that you need God’s Grace to pull through. Do not lose hope in yourself, forgive yourself even, and ask God for Grace to overcome that weakness right now. His Grace is all you need! * * * LIANNA PROPHESIES: May His strength be made perfect in your weakness today in Jesus name. * * * ACTION POINTS DO THIS: Tell the Holy Spirit all the areas you need His help. Do not hide anyone. SAY THIS: I decree and I declare that greater is He that is in me than He that is in the world. * * * STUDY YOUR BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: EZEKIEL 16&17, LUKE 15, PSALMS 138 * * * CHRISTIAN MISSION FOCUS: TUNISIA 65% out of the over 10 million people in Tunisia are unreached with the Gospel. Muslims are 99% of the population. The necessity of learning Arabic is a barrier to many non-Tunisian Missionaries. However, there are many open doors to share the Gospel than ever before. PRAY FOR TUNISIA: We are praying for a mighty outpour of God’s Spirit upon the land of Tunisia. * * * STARTUP PRAYER: Dear Father, I receive grace to handle every weaknesses in my life in Jesus name. * * * PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Oh Lord my God, I thank you for my year so far. I consecrated my plans to you. Do not let me fall short of what you have for me this year.

TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL. (Excerpts from Devotionalbox by Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth). October 16th LET GOD BE TRUE Colossians 2:13 “And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;” God’s ways are immeasurably superior to our ways. When he declares a thing, nothing can alter the manifestation of that word. When you wake up from the slumber of your error and come before Him in repentance, He does not give it a second thought before He forgives. Take note of this phrase in our text today: “… having forgiven you all trespasses”. Then it went on to say in verse 14, that He blots out the handwriting that was against us. Wow! Isn’t that awesome? He totally and completely erases all your transgression and its record, like it never existed. Praise God! Therefore, If God says He has forgiven you, it is pride to think otherwise. Your refusal to forgive yourself for a wrong done even after asking God for forgiveness implies that you hold God untrue, yet His Word cannot be broken. Therefore, humble yourself today by forgiving yourself and let God exalt you. * * * ISAIAH PROPHESIES: May God’s word be true in your life today in Jesus name. * * * ACTION POINTS:DO THIS: Consider if you have accepted all that God has spoken about and upon you, have you doubted it even for a bit, ask for forgiveness now. * * * SAY THIS: I decree and I declare that the word of God is the truth I know. * * * STUDY YOUR BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: EZEKIEL 18&19, LUKE 16, PSALMS 139 * * * CHRISTIAN MISSION FOCUS: COUNTRY: TUNISIA 65% out of the over 10 million people in Tunisia are unreached with the Gospel. Muslims are 99% of the population. The necessity of learning Arabic is a barrier to many non-Tunisian Missionaries. However, there are many open doors to share the Gospel than ever before. * * * PRAY FOR TUNISIA: We are praying that the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ will shine in the hearts of the people of Tunisia. * * * CONTINUOUS PRAYING: Startup prayer: Dear Father, I refuse every doubt concerning your word for my life in Jesus name. PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Oh Lord my God, I thank you for your love for me since the year began. Father, I consecrate myself to you this month. Let me not fall short of your best for my life this year.

TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL (EXcerpts from Devotionalbox By Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth). October 17th ACCOMMODATE IMPERFECT PEOPLE Philemon 1: 10-11 “I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:” In the pursuit of your life’s assignment, you would be surrounded by imperfect people. God in His wisdom has placed these people around you because they have a role to play in helping you achieve your life’s purpose. Your decision to shut them out of your life as a result of how their imperfection had affected you would only result in your inability to fulfill your life’s assignment. You need people to achieve your goals, and many of such persons would be imperfect while your relationship with them lasts. Onesimus, as mentioned in our text today was such a one; though he fell out of favour with his master at a time, he later proved profitable as Paul stated. Therefore, you must have the mind to forgive others and resolve differences rather than constantly pushing away those whose thoughts, actions or manner of approach differs from yours. Look out for ways in which they fit into what God has called you to do, and in time, you would not regret it. * * * LIANNA PROPHESIES: May your eyes be opened to see those God has placed on your path today in Jesus name. * * * ACTION POINTS: DO THIS: Consider all those around you and begin to see by the help of the Holy Ghost their usefulness in your life. * * * SAY THIS: I decree and I declare that the number of my days on earth, I will fulfill. * * * STUDY YOUR BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: EZEKIEL 20&21, LUKE 17, PSALMS 140 * * * CHRISTIAN MISSION FOCUS: COUNTRY: TURKEY 63% of over 75 million people in Turkey are unreached with the Gospel. Persecution and hostility are on the rise and there is increasing opposition to the people of God. * * * PRAY FOR TURKEY: We pray for the protection of Christians and missionaries in the nation, that they will be shielded from every attack. * * * CONTINUOUS PRAYING: Startup prayer: Dear Father, help me to see my helpers and give me the wisdom to relate with them in Jesus name. PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Oh Lord my God, I thank you for your love for me since the year began. Father, I consecrate myself to you this month. Let me not fall short of your best for my life this year.

TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL. (Excerpts from Devotionalbox by Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth). October 18th LOOK AWAY FROM YOUR PAST Philippians 3:13 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.” In a relay, the athlete who is to receive the baton neither stops nor goes backwards to receive it. Instead, he keeps a slow pace until the baton is safely within his grip and then he immediately takes off. Much in the same manner, the only way to successfully move forward is to walk facing forward and never backwards. No matter how beautiful or otherwise the past might have been, the future will always be brighter; such is the hope we have in Christ Jesus (Col. 1:27). Paul in our text today talks about forgetting the things (achievements or mistakes) that are past, and aspiring for better things ahead, implying that so long as the center of your thoughts is the past and not the future, no meaningful progress would be made. What in your past has stolen your drive to push forward? Now is the time to divorce them. Looking away from your past might mean forgiving yourself for a failure in the past or setting a bigger goal for the future. Your past is past; it is time to look ahead to the glorious future God has for you! * * * ISAIAH PROPHESIES: I command speed and progress in your life today in Jesus name. * * * ACTION POINTS: DO THIS: Ponder on the meditations of your heart, what fills your thoughts daily and let go of thoughts that constantly pull you backwards rather than forward. * * * SAY THIS: I decree and I declare that I am making constant progress in my life. * * * STUDY YOUR BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: EZEKIEL 22&23, LUKE 18, PSALMS 141 * * * CHRISTIAN MISSION FOCUS: COUNTRY: TURKEY 63% of over 75 million people in Turkey are unreached with the Gospel. Persecution and hostility are on the rise and there is increasing opposition to the people of God. * * * PRAY FOR TURKEY: We pray for boldness upon the Christians and missionaries in Turkey that they would boldly declare the Gospel of Christ to the people of the Land. * * * CONTINUOUS PRAYING: Startup prayer: Dear Father, strengthen me to look away from my past and focus on the way forward in Jesus name. PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Oh Lord my God, I thank you for your love for me since the year began. Father, I consecrate myself to you this month. Let me not fall short of your best for my life this year.

TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL. (Excerpts from Devotionalbox by Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth). October 24th CONVINCE YOUR MIND. 1 timothy 4:15. *** "Meditate upon these things: give thyself wholly to them;that thy profiting may appear to all". *** In the Kingdom of God,a man is not blessed because of the truth he knows,but for that which he practices(James 1:22). Many believers know what God's word has said about forgiveness,yet they cannot summon the courage to receive God's forgiveness,forgive others or even their own selves. The good news today is that God has made a way out of that trap: its called meditation. *** As our text today prescribes,every believer ought to brood upon God's word,properly considering and confessing it until doubt is eliminated and he finds strength to act out the word. Glory to God! (This month's devotional is designed to help this process). *** Are you struggling with the reality of your forgiveness or fighting to let go of hurts? End that struggle by meditating on God's word on forgiveness continuously until our doubting mind is convinced. Thus,you will find strength to forgive yourself,receive God's love and forgive others too. Start now. ISAIAH PROPHESIES: receive grace to meditate on the word today in Jesus name. *** ACTION POINTS: DO THIS: begin with the text for today,ponder on it and allow the Holy Spirit to teach you and give you understanding of it. * * * SAY THIS: I decree and I declare that I live by the word of God daily. * * * STUDY YOUR BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 34 and 35,Luke 24,Psalms 147. * * * CHRISTIAN MISSION FOCUS: COUNTRY: TURKEY 63percent of over 75million people in Turkey are unreached with the Gospel.

TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL (Excerpts from Devotionalbox By Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth). 29th October,2014 LET LOVE SUPERCEDE 1Peter 4:8 “And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.” No true forgiveness can occur outside of love. Our text today emphasises that it is love that covers the multitude of sins, relating forgiveness to love. In it also, we are also instructed to be fraternal with other believers, letting fervent love be our bond. Glory to God! For us as believers, being kindly affectionate towards other believers is our nature (Rom. 12:10). We have been designed to cherish other believers as our own kindred in Christ. This suggests that even when a misunderstanding arises with another believer, you are never quick to cut off from him/her, just like a mother would never do away with her suckling child. Why? Because their love bond is stronger than any misunderstanding whatsoever! In letting love supercede, we behave like our Father whose love brought us forgiveness and the redemption of our souls. Ask the Lord to fill your heart with more of His love today, and be ready to allow that love flow towards other believers as you let go of negative emotions towards them. Love is your nature, and so is forgiveness. Amen! * * * * LIANNA PROPHESIES: Let the love of God be naturally expressed from you today in Jesus name. * * * * ACTION POINTS DO THIS: Allow only positive emotions, refuse every negative one by the help of the Spirit * * * * SAY THIS: I decree and I declare that my coast is enlarged today. * * * * STUDY YOUR BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: EZEKIEL 44&45, JOHN 5, PROVERBS 2 * * * * CHRISTIAN MISSION FOCUS COUNTRY: TANZANIA Population: over 45million.

Also, the 40,000 villages and towns in Tanzania are still without a single church and 75% of Tanzania’s population is rural. * * * * PRAY FOR TANZANIA: We are praying for a deeper hunger for God in the hearts of the people in that nation. * * * * CONTINUOUS PRAYING Startup prayer: Dear Lord, I pray for strength to do away with negative emotions in Jesus name PRAYER OF CONCENTRATION Oh Lord my God,I thank you for your love for me since the year began.

Re: October Devotional From Gospel Pillars Ministry by macjireh: 3:31am On Oct 30, 2014 |
TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL. (Excerpts from Devotionalbox By Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth). October 30th TAKE YOUR PLACE IN INTERCESSION 2Corinthians 4:4 “But if our Gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost; In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” A soul is a soul, and is valuable to God. Even the most hardened criminal is on His Agenda for forgiveness, as God’s forgiveness is not only for the believer, but also for the lost. His desire is that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth (1Tim 2:3-4); this also should be our prayer. As believers, we must awaken to our responsibility of partnering with the Spirit of God through intercession to bring the lost to repentance, so they might receive God’s forgiveness. This is important because as we see in our text today, the devil would rather the lost perish in their sins. He blinds their eyes to the truth and keeps them in condemnation. Our prayers of intercession provide the necessary force to break that limitation.

Re: October Devotional From Gospel Pillars Ministry by macjireh: 3:35am On Oct 30, 2014 |
TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL. (Excerpts from Devotionalbox By Dr Isaiah and Lianna Wealth). October 30th TAKE YOUR PLACE IN INTERCESSION 2Corinthians 4:4 **** “But if our Gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost; In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” **** A soul is a soul, and is valuable to God. Even the most hardened criminal is on His Agenda for forgiveness, as God’s forgiveness is not only for the believer, but also for the lost. His desire is that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth (1Tim 2:3-4); this also should be our prayer. **** As believers, we must awaken to our responsibility of partnering with the Spirit of God through intercession to bring the lost to repentance, so they might receive God’s forgiveness. This is important because as we see in our text today, the devil would rather the lost perish in their sins. He blinds their eyes to the truth and keeps them in condemnation. Our prayers of intercession provide the necessary force to break that limitation. **** Therefore, set out time today to intercede for those who by reason of ignorance, guilt or condemnation have distanced themselves from God’s forgiveness. Pray that the light of the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ would illuminate their hearts, and that is exactly what will happen. Amen! * * * * LIANNA PROPHESIES: May the Spirit of Intercession rest on you today in Jesus name. * * * * ACTION POINTS DO THIS: Ponder on all those that are lost and take some time to intercede for them. * * * * SAY THIS: I decree and I declare that nothing is barren in my land. * * * * STUDY YOUR BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: EZEKIEL 46&47, JOHN 6, PROVERBS 3 * * * * CHRISTIAN MISSION FOCUS.
