There is another thing that make a soul to be fat, It’s diligence. Proverbs 13 verses 4B make us to understand that the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

A man is made up of spirit, soul and body. A born again man is a spirit being that has a soul and lives in a body.

Liberality, diligence and righteousness are the 3 main composition of a fat soul.

The liberal Abraham was also God’s exemplary figure of righteousness. This man was also a diligent worker that became rich in cattles, silver and gold in his days.

Leanness of the soul

In Psalms 106:15, we see how God sent leanness to the people of Israel in the wilderness because they lusted after meat.

Our request from God must be focused on His Kingdom and not on our own selfish desires.

It’s more blessed to give than to receive. A lot of people are experiencing dissatisfaction with their lives because most of them are not adding as much values than they receive.

Each and every human that appears on this planet is wired to come and offer a specific solution to humanity. When that person is not in alignment with his or her purpose, there can never be fulfilment.

To be lean in the soul is more devastating than physical emancipation. This is because the spiritual controls the physical. For example, a man’s spirit shall sustain his infirmity.

To escape leanness of soul and make our soul robust, our soul must make boast in the LORD. All His agendas must be our priorities.

The Word of God must also dwell in you richly.

You may be diligence, righteous and liberal, it’s God that makes a soul to be fat.

Open Heaven For Teens 21 February 2024: The Gift Of Gratitude https://christianyouth.com.ng/2024/02/21/open-heaven-for-teens-21-february-2024-the-gift-of-gratitude/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=open-heaven-for-teens-21-february-2024-the-gift-of-gratitude https://christianyouth.com.ng/2024/02/21/open-heaven-for-teens-21-february-2024-the-gift-of-gratitude/#respond Wed, 21 Feb 2024 05:41:15 +0000 https://christianyouth.com.ng/?p=4776 TOPIC: The Gift Of Gratitude [Open Heaven for Teens 21 February 2024]

MEMORISE: Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Psalm 103:2

BIBLE TEXT: Psalms 103:1-5

1 (A Psalm of David.) Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

MESSAGE:

When I examine the nature of human beings, I can’t but marvel at the wonders of God and how He made everyone unique with different temperaments. 1 Corinthians 12 mentions different gifts that we operate in as God’s children, while other gifts include the gifts of giving and help. While some people find it difficult to give or to help someone in need, others do it effortlessly because that is how they are wired.

The same goes for the gift of gratitude, which I noticed in the life of King David. Right from his teenage years, while rearing his father’s sheep, he expressed constant gratitude to God everywhere he went. When the Ark of Covenant was brought into Jerusalem, he danced so much that his wife mocked him for dancing shamelessly in front of the people, however, David counted it as an honour to God. No wonder God had mercy on him and referred to him as ‘a man after my heart.’

Being grateful from a young age is an advantage because elders in Yoruba land say, “When a fellow doesn’t give thanks for the goodness done to him yesterday, it is synonymous with robbery.” Have you been robbing God and people by failing to show gratitude?

PRAYER POINT:

Write a ‘thank you’ note to at least three people who helped you this week.

HYMN 11 – O Lord My God, When Am In Awesome Wonder,

1.⁠ ⁠O lord my God!
When am in awesome wonder,
consider all
The worlds thy hands hath made
I see the stars,
I heard the rolling thunder
Thy pow’r thro’ out
The universe displayed

CHORUS
Then sing my soul,
My savior God to thee;
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sing my soul,
My savior God to thee;
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!

2.⁠ ⁠Then through the woods
And forest glads I wander,
And hear the birds
Sing sweetly in the tress;
When I look down
From lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook
And feel the gentle breeze;

3.⁠ ⁠And when I think
That God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die
I scare can take it in;
That on the cross,
My burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died
To take away my sin.

4.⁠ ⁠When Christ shall come
With shout of acclamation
And take me home,
What joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And there proclaim,
My God how great Thou art!

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:” Ephesians 1:3 (KJV)

Wisdom For The Day MESSAGE:

You will be at peace in every circumstance when you truly understand the In-Him concept. That was the mind that Christ had when He was in the storm. He knew what He carried! He knew that He was not ordinary.

Beloved, let no one judge you by where you are now. In Christ, you are blessed! In Christ, you have been empowered to succeed. You cannot fail. Whatsoever you do will prosper. Enter any project with a prosperity mentality. You are too blessed to fail.

In Him, you are faultless. You cannot fall! In Christ, God looks at you based on the fact that you are now in Christ. He sees no fault in you. He sees no failure in you. He sees no death in you. Therefore, nothing can stop you from possessing your possessions. The blessing of God upon your life will make room for you and bring you before kings.

Don’t worry about your struggles now. It is just for a season. God, who has begun the good works in your life, will perfect it. So be patient. Allow the blessing to speak. Don’t quit! God is not through with you yet. Stop pitying yourself! You are extravagantly blessed! Stop being negative about your life. Be positive about your life. Step out and do big things for yourself. Dream big dreams! Don’t be afraid! You will succeed because of what you carry. “The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, And he addeth no sorrow with it.” (Proverbs 10:22 KJV)

You have been redeemed. Your sins are forgiven! Your sins are no more! They have been cancelled out of your slate. Don’t let the enemy accuse you.

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 21 February 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Sin Ruins Sense https://christianyouth.com.ng/2024/02/21/dunamis-seeds-of-destiny-21-february-2024-devotional-by-dr-paul-enenche-sin-ruins-sense/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=dunamis-seeds-of-destiny-21-february-2024-devotional-by-dr-paul-enenche-sin-ruins-sense https://christianyouth.com.ng/2024/02/21/dunamis-seeds-of-destiny-21-february-2024-devotional-by-dr-paul-enenche-sin-ruins-sense/#respond Wed, 21 Feb 2024 05:32:22 +0000 https://christianyouth.com.ng/?p=4772 TOPIC: Sin Ruins Sense (Seeds Of Destiny 21 February 2024)

SCRIPTURE: Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power: Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch. – Genesis 49:3-4.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Nothing kills mentality like iniquity. Sin ruins sense.

Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2023 MESSAGE:

It has been established that character determines destiny. Character affects potentials. Your character can bring either blessings or curses upon your life.

Previously, we saw how Reuben defiled his father’s bed and how that singular act brought a curse upon his life and generation.

In our Study today, we shall look at a major character flaw of Reuben.

Now, what is that character flaw that Reuben manifested?
Reuben operated with a lack of mentality.

He was not reasoning right, he wasn’t thinking correctly. He lacked mentality!

Reuben lacked mentality for sleeping with his father’s wife. Why did he not decide to go and marry at that point? The only woman he saw was his father’s wife. Nothing kills mentality like iniquity. Sin ruins sense.

Today, you see some people behaving senselessly and you will be wondering how they think. This is because their senses have been ruined by sin.

Also Read: Open Heaven 21 February 2024 – The Right Hand Of God

When you see a man who is married, but keeps other girls in five-star hotels and his wife and children are suffering at home, that is bankruptcy of mentality. There are some young unmarried men who are having serial immoral affairs; that is a manifestation of senselessness.

As a lady or a married woman, you have no sense if you go after either married or unmarried men. Iniquity makes you senseless. But that shall not be your portion in Jesus’ Name.

REMEMBER THIS: Nothing kills mentality like iniquity. Sin ruins sense.

ASSIGNMENTS:

  1. Refuse to ruin your sense through sin.
  2. Live right to have sense and right mentality.

PRAYER: Lord, I refuse to ruin my sense through iniquity. I receive the grace to live right to attract Divine wisdom, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: Where there is no mentality, there is no opportunity. Where there is no mentality, there can be no prosperity. Culled from the book, “21 FOOLISH THINGS PEOPLE DO” by Dr Paul Enenche.

AMAZING FACT: Elephant brains weigh 5 kg, much more than the brain of any other land animal.

KEY VERSE: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised” (Luke 4:18).

TEXT: Luke 4:14-22 (KJV)

1 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.

17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?

DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:

Nothing seemed extraordinary about Jesus’ appearance in the synagogue for worship; He did it regularly as did all male Jews. The day in our text was very different, however; it was a classic case of, “Cometh the hour, cometh the man”.

Also Read: Open Heaven 21 February 2024 – The Right Hand Of God

How should the book of Isaiah have been chosen for reading amongst all the prophetic volumes present in the synagogue that day? And how should Christ have been the One chosen out of all the worshippers to read it? How should He have “found the place where it was written” – exactly the prophecy concerning His messiahship just about to be unveiled? It was, beyond doubt, the divine hand orchestrating the chain of events. Christ knew it Himself. His graceful words and mighty acts in Galilee had heralded Him. Therefore, the congregation waited with bated breath. When He closed the book and uttered those nine immortal words: “This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears”, the Messiah had finally shown up. The hour and the man had met.

Christ had been paying the price for the anointing long before the day of His showing to Israel. By absolute surrender to the Father’s will and self-denial, He had prepared for the ministry. Jesus carried the anointing all through His earthly ministry. Upon His ascension to heaven, He promised the same anointing to His faithful disciples.

God needs men and women upon whom to bestow His anointing today. Nothing less will suffice to fulfil your God-given destiny. But how is the anointing obtained? You must be ready to walk the same path as Christ of whom we read, “For thou lovest righteousness and hatest wickedness, therefore God, Thy God hath anointed thee…above thy fellows.” The anointing is unique, but it is not cheap; it is for the earnest seeker, not the highest bidder.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Christ did not come just to sympathise with us but to set us free.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also (John 14:3).

Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:

Many still grapple with what the Lord Jesus meant in the verse above when He said, “…I will come again, and receive you unto myself….” Some think He was referring to the Second Coming or the Rapture, but that’s not what He was talking about in that verse.

To understand what Jesus meant, you’ll have to stay in the context and understand His message with your spirit, not with your senses. When you study the full chapter you’d observe that He continued the same interesting discourse till He got to the 16th verse where He said, “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.”

Also Read: Open Heaven 21 February 2024 – The Right Hand Of God

The term “another Comforter” is the Greek phrase, “Allos paraklētos,” meaning another of the same kind. Jesus introduced the Holy Spirit at that point. Then He said, “…ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you” (John 14:17). How did the Holy Spirit dwell with them at the time? Wasn’t He supposed to come on the Day of Pentecost?

That tells us something. He wasn’t talking about the Holy Spirit alone; He was also referring to Himself! To drive that point home, He went back to what He said in our theme verse, “…I will come again, and receive you unto myself….” Then in verse 18, He said, “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.” How and when would He come to them?

In the 20th verse, He said, “At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.” What day was He talking about? Evidently, He was talking about the day when the Holy Spirit comes. So, when He said, “I will come to you,” He meant “I’ll come to you in the Holy Spirit.”

And thanks be unto God! On the Day of Pentecost, He fulfilled that precious promise: “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance” (Acts 2:4). He’s in you today in all His fullness. Praise God!

PRAYER

Thank you blessed heavenly Father for the fullness of the Spirit in me and the glory and excellence of my life as a result of your indwelling presence. By the Holy Spirit, my faith is strengthened and stirred to do the will of God and fulfil God’s purpose for my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

John 14:23 – Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

John 14:15-20: If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20 At that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deuteronomy 1, Deuteronomy 2, Deuteronomy 3, 2 Corinthians 4, 2 Corinthians 5

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Romans 9:16-33 (KJV)

16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?

20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.

26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.

27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:

28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.

29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.

30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.

31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

MEMORY VERSE: “So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.” – Romans 9:16 (KJV)

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES:
Mercy can make your case different among your family members.

PRAISE AND WORSHIP:
Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY
THE MERCY OF GOD WILL SINGLE YOU OUT FOR UNCOMMON BREAKTHROUGH THIS YEAR, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

MFM Devotional For Today 2023 MESSAGE:

Mercy is the compassion or forgiveness shown towards someone who deserves punishment. The Bible says it is by the mercy of God that we are not consumed.
It is interesting how often we relate to God. Many are not really sure who He is. We think we know but we don’t often know. God is not part-mercy; He is the embodiment of mercy. God is everything mercy could ever hope to be. He is full of compassion.

Also Read: MFM Devotional 20 February 2024: The Power Of Mercy (1)

The mercy of God has the capacity to delete your name from the register of untimely death. Mercy has the capacity to move you from minimum to maximum. It has the capacity to remove you from the back and place you ahead of others. God is not partial but He shows Mercy to whomever He loves. Mercy operates on the coin of love. In Romans 9:13 “As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.”

When mercy speaks, your error will be overlooked. When mercy speaks, you will be loved by everybody, including your enemy. When mercy speaks, procedure will be suspended for your sake. Mercy has the ability to put things on hold until you are ready. I pray for you today, the mercy of God will be your companion, in Jesus’ Name. It is mercy that opens the door of forgiveness. Mercy is what has joined us all together as believers in spite of our differences. Therefore, we should be ready to forgive people, show them compassion, kindness and love, just as God has shown us. Let mercy have its way in all that you do.

The benefits of the mercy of God include peace, love, joy, and complete fulfillment in life. It is the mercy of God that turns a mess into a message to reach the dying world. When the mercy of God is at work in a man’s life, evil judgement has no power over such a person. When mercy is in place, your rightful position is not just given to you but sustained forever. When God’s mercy is in place, forgiveness becomes easy. When mercy has forgiven you, then Grace will pick you up for sweatless and flawless victory in life.

If you want to enjoy the mercy and grace of God continually in your life, you must come to the throne of grace and be crucified with Jesus.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

  1. Grace and mercy of God, locate me today, in the Name of Jesus.
  2. Father Lord, make me a candidate of uncommon mercy, in the Name of Jesus.
  3. Where I can’t defend myself, mercy of God, speak for me, in the Name of Jesus.

EVENING

  1. By the mercy of God, I shall not end up in hell fire, in the Name of Jesus.
  2. I receive the power of God, by mercy, in the Name of Jesus.
  3. Grace to be distinguished among my peers, come upon me, in the Name of Jesus.
  4. Mercy of God, be my companion everyday of my life, in the Name of Jesus.

Open Heaven 21 February 2024 Wednesday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – The Right Hand Of God https://christianyouth.com.ng/2024/02/21/open-heaven-21-february-2024-wednesday-daily-devotional-by-pastor-e-a-adeboye-the-right-hand-of-god/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=open-heaven-21-february-2024-wednesday-daily-devotional-by-pastor-e-a-adeboye-the-right-hand-of-god https://christianyouth.com.ng/2024/02/21/open-heaven-21-february-2024-wednesday-daily-devotional-by-pastor-e-a-adeboye-the-right-hand-of-god/#respond Wed, 21 Feb 2024 04:54:57 +0000 https://christianyouth.com.ng/?p=4764 Open Heaven 21 February 2024 TOPIC: The Right Hand Of God

MEMORISE: “According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.” – Psalm 48:10 (KJV)

READ: Psalm 89:8-13 (KJV)

8 O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

11 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

12 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deuteronomy 1-2

Open Heaven 21 February 2024 MESSAGE

I have come to understand that the difference between the right and the left hand is more than their positioning on our bodies. For example, in Matthew 5:30 when Jesus was talking about everything you must do to make sure you don’t miss heaven, He said, “If thy right hand offend thee…” He could easily have said, “If thy hand,” but He obviously emphasised the right hand because of its importance. In Genesis 48:8-20 when Jacob was to bless Joseph’s two sons, he deliberately placed his right hand on the younger son and the left on the older son. As a result of this, the younger son became more blessed than his elder brother (Deuteronomy 33:17).

Now, if the right hand of a man is that powerful, then you can imagine how powerful God’s right hand is since we were made in His image (Genesis 1:26).

Also Read: Open Heaven 20 February 2024 – What Did God Say?

Psalm 17:7 says that God saves by His right hand. In other words, when a sinner is snatched from the jaws of hell, it is God’s right hand at work. This is why you must pray for God to raise His right hand on behalf of all your family members that are not saved. Furthermore, Psalm 139:10 says that He leads by His right hand. Isaiah 41:10 says that God also upholds with His right hand. After He has saved you and led you with His right hand, He will also keep you standing with the same right hand.

In Exodus 15:6, the Bible says that His right hand is not just powerful, but also glorious in power. This tells us that God fights with His right hand. In Exodus 15:11-12, the Bible says that His right hand swallowed the enemy. In Mark 14:62, the Bible tells us that the right hand of God is the right hand of power. The right hand of God is also where you will find joy and everlasting pleasures (Psalm 16:11).

Beloved, you should note, however, that only the redeemed can be at the right hand of God (Matthew 25:34). If you are not yet born again, you better surrender your life to Christ now because those who are at God’s left hand suffer greatly. They are the ones who weep and gnash their teeth because of the evils they experience. Give your life to Christ today and get on the right-hand side of God.

Open Heaven 21 February 2024 PRAYER POINT:

Father, please raise Your right hand on my behalf and let every enemy fighting against me be destroyed, in Jesus’ name.

Open Heaven 21 February 2024 HYMN 1 – All Hail The Power Of Jesus’ Name

1 All hail the pow’r of Jesus’ name!
Let angels prostrate fall,
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him, crown Him,
crown Him, crown Him;
And crown Him Lord of all!

2 Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race,
Ye ransomed from the fall,
Ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,

3 Sinners, whose love can ne’er forget
The wormwood and the gall,
The wormwood and the gall,
Go, spread your trophies at His feet,

4 Let every kindred, every tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,

5 O that with yonder sacred throng
We at His feet may fall,
We at His feet may fall!
We’ll join the everlasting song,
