Quote of the Day: Don't Let Momentary Lust...

Don't Let Momentary Lust/Distraction Write You A Cheque That Will Render Your Destiny Bankrupt

- Scopium Nwabuking

Momentary Lust does not only suggest pleasures of making love. It generally means any momentary thing you can do without but you let yourself involved and it gets out of control to the detriment of your future. Self control is the keyword. Always see the big picture to avoid rendering your destiny bankrupt.

Securing Future Greatness - RCCG Open Heavens Devotion Friday 12th July, 2013

SECURING FUTURE GREATNESS BY PASTOR E. A. ADEBAYO

Memorise:
And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses. Genesis 30:43

Read:
Genesis 12:1-3

Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: Genesis 12:1 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: Genesis 12:2 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Genesis 12:3 Bible in one year: Jeremiah 6-8 Message In everyone’s life, there are three stages – the past, the present and the future.

Before looking at the future, it is only wise to consider the past and the present. Why? In most cases, the past is what brought forth the present; and a combination of the past and the present will deliver the future. Behind every success recorded today and tomorrow, there is a solid covenant somewhere in the past. Take for instance the life of Jacob: He had a past, a present and a future. His past was rooted in the covenant God made with Abraham, when He promised to bless him and to make him a blessing (Genesis 12:1-3). His present was in his limited state as Jacob – supplanter, trying to make it by his own strength and effort, while his next level was as Israel – a prince of God, where he would become God’s favourite, and partake of the covenant blessings father Abraham had with God.

The covenant you make with God today will not only affect your tomorrow, but also the destinies of unborn generations. God is a covenant keeping God and He looks for those who can pay the price of cutting an enduring covenant with Him. At the beginning of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, God had a covenant with our father – the founder. God asked him to do certain things and the He will begin a church through him which will go all over the world, and a church He will meet on His return to the earth. The old man kept his own side and God is still keeping His.

This covenant keeping God made Abraham great and then moved into the Isaac generation which is the now (Genesis 24:34-35). The future is the level of Jacob – who God made exceedingly great. From today, prophesy to yourself daily by saying: in the name of Jesus, I am going to be exceedingly great. That is my next level, and nothing can stop me because my father is a covenant keeper. Are you operating on a covenant with God?


Key Point:
A covenant is the foundation of relationship and blessing. Those under a divine covenant are not easily moved.

Do Something About That Weakness - RCCG Open Heavens Devotion Wednesday 10th July, 2013

DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT WEAKNESS BY PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

Memorise:
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Romans 6:12

Read:
Judges 16:6-10

While fighting with the enemy, God sometimes helps us by causing the enemy to verbalise their evil intent like it happened to Samson in Judges 16:6. If your enemy tells you his plan towards you, what are you supposed to do? Sometimes, the enemy will be so full of the evil plot that he will spill it out unawares; for the mouth releases what the heart is full of (Matthew 12:34).

If you share your secret with a particular friend, and you observe that your plans are repeatedly frustrated, you don't need a soothsayer to tell you to either cut off from that enemy disguised as a friend or keep your secrets to yourself afterwards. The enemy will do just about anything to know the best way to get at you. One area he will concentrate on is your weak point. He will carefully study you to know your weak point and usually, it does not take him too long to discover this.

Wisdom demands that you first identify your area of weakness before your enemy does. There is no human being without one, yet if you can prayerfully present your weakness to the Lord and follow the instructions of the Holy Spirit, over a period of time, your point of weakness can become your point of strength. If you are easily seduced into lust by looking at naked pictures of the opposite sex, do something fast about it. Avoid being exposed to any form of indecent exposure of the opposite sex - be it live or in pictures. Watch the gate of your eyes carefully.

A particular brother once discovered his weakness in this area and as part of checkmating his flesh, he made sure that whenever he was addressing a lady, he did not look at her eyes. Some people felt he was too weak but he did not mind their comments. All he was concerned about was how to ensure he did not become taken in temptation. Many Christians know their weak points yet they dare their flesh and even the devil, at the end, they become casualty of the power of darkness.

Do you know your weaknesses? What are you doing about them? Prayerfully minimise any exposure to a source of temptation. Use the word of God to renew your mind and to strengthen yourself and ask God to uphold you. You will not fail.

Action Point:
The weakness you ignore will take advantage of you. Daily ask God to turn your weakness into your power of strength.

Bible In One Year:
Jeremiah 1-2

You Can Overtake - Open Heaven of Tuesday 9th July 2013

YOU CAN OVERTAKE BY PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

Memorise:

……for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD. Isaiah 54:1b

Read:

1 Samuel 2:20-21
And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home. 1 Samuel 2:20

And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD. 1 Samuel 2:21

Open Heavens Message
A single contact with God can make the difference in the life of an individual. For some years, some people have laboured in ministry, business, academics and career with nothing to show for it. If you are in such situation, a contact that will usher a season of positive change is coming your way. When the hand of God was laid on Elijah in 1 Kings 18:41-46, he outran king Ahab who had earlier taken off with speed on his chariot of horses. How can ordinary legs overtake horses? When God lays His hands on you, your progress will be so rapid that none of your enemies will be able to catch up with you.

From the above scripture, we learn that when God’s hand is upon you, the time you lost that worked against you will be recovered, and will work in your favour. Ahab ran ahead of Elijah, yet the later still overtook him. Also, when God’s hand is upon you, every limitation or deficiency that should have stalled your progress will rather advance you. Imagine a man on his two feet beating a chariot of horses! This tells us that even when you lack the latest technology, you can still emerge the best if God’s hand is upon you. This season, God’s hand will rest upon you for good.

David a young shepherd boy had contact with God and he became a king (1 Samuel 16:11-13). Many people had already written off Hannah as permanently barren until she had contact with God and the result was six children including Samuel (1 Samuel 2:21). At the end, God permanently shut her mockers up as she had more children than Peninnah. Isaiah 54:1 was fulfilled in her life. The time you started having children does not necessarily determine how many you will have.

You can start early and have few children or start late and have many children. Hannah started late yet she had more children. Are you trusting God for the fruit of the womb? Have you been waiting for a long time? Are you asking when will it ever be my turn to have a baby? Your turn has just arrived. Get ready, you are about to overtake those who are years ahead of you. It is allowed.

Bible In One Year:

2 Timothy 1-4

Prayer Point
Father, lay your hand upon me and cause me to overtake all those who took advantage of me and those who have gone ahead of me.

What Is The Correct Interpretation Of This Dream?

I had a rather weird dream last night. Where is Joseph when you need one? I'm wondering what is the correct interpretation of this dream? You how dreams are sometimes, the scenes switch or progress haphazardly. From where I can remember,  this was what happened.

The Dream
I just saw myself warding off a vehicle in the distance from a victim by hurling stones at the vehicle. I broke the right side mirror and the car drove away. I don't know why they were attacking this person. I don't know whether the person is male or female. I didn't see the face. I don't even know what kind of attack it was.

Ok next scene. I was close to the Methodist Church now and a man was walking his dog behind me. Immediately he got close he started yelling at the dog to come bite me.

I knew immediately that he was the person in the vehicle I warded off earlier. How I know? I don't know. Don't even ask. The dog won't respond. I wasn't scared. I told him he is wasting his time. Later the dog summoned courage and came after me. I didn't run. Then I noticed it had two heads! It bit my toe I grabbed the head that bit my toe and ripped the dog apart into two.

Significant Things About The Dream
A few things in the dream were pieces of my reality. The place looked very familiar. It looked like my maternal home town. I remember Adanma or Afugiri Girl's Secondary School's fence and the popular De Iriegwu's shop. I also remember the Methodist Church. I attended service there once. I don't really fear dogs that much in real life. A dog has bitten me before. Two other dogs chased me at one point and their fangs merely grazed the skin behind my knee. Most times I can always tell during my dream that I am dreaming and just play along. In this case, the dream looked like reality.

Finally, my dreams come true on very rare occasions. Beyond that I believe dreams has some deep spiritual meaning that one shouldn't take lightly. Again I wonder what the meaning of this dream is. I've not had a dog attack me in my dream before. Where are the Josephs, please help me interpret this dream.

5 Amazing Sex Tips To Rekindle Passion In Your Relationship

Sometimes when partners in a relationship have spent donkey's years together, they stop having fun. Some don't intend it that way but the passion burns out at some point. Even if he's 'put a ring on it' that shouldn't mean you stop joking, laughing a flirting with your man.

If you want to rekindle the passion, excitement of flirting into your relationship especially long term relationship here are a few tips to follow;

1. Create Some Mystery
If you've been living together for what feels like an age you've probably seen the good, the bad and the very ugly. Watching him trim his toenails or giving him access to the bathroom when you're having a pee doesn't exactly create a 'sexy' image in each others' minds. Try introducing a bit more mystery and spontaneity into your relationship. You could try getting dressed for a big night out in private so he only sees the finished effect, or cook an elaborate meal just because. Flirting starts here.

2. Laugh
It sounds simple but don't be afraid to laugh with your partner. In the first stages of a relationship, couples laugh all the time as a way to get to know each other, loosen up and, to some extent, start foreplay. Turn off the television and spend some time enjoying each others' company without distractions. You'll soon find (especially over a glass of wine or two) the spark of humour that connected you at the start of your relationship will return.

3. Be Affectionate
Nicknames, non sexual touching and positive praise in public will show him you care. It sounds obvious, but touching his arms and hands is a sure fire sign that you're flirting even if you're not making eye contact. Handwritten notes on the coffee table, steamy mirror messages and 'thinking of you' texts during the day will keep his mind on you -a great precursor to bedroom foreplay.

4. See Him In His Element
Spend some time with him in an environment where he feels strong and in control. Seeing him coursing with testosterone will remind you that he's an individual and a bloke, not just a man who takes out your rubbish bins and leaves his boxers on the floor. It's the simplest aphrodisiac around and he'll love showing off in front of you.

5. Don't Be Afraid To Be The Boss
Sometimes being a little bit bossy can be a massive turn on. You don't have to turn into a dominatrix over night, but telling him how, when and why you want him, especially in the bedroom, is a great way to shake yourselves out of a boring routine. Subtly reminding him how much you enjoy spending time with him is a simple but seriously effective flirting technique!
