Topic: WHEN YOUR SOURCE DRIES UP!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing" - Psalm 34:10 KJVA

Bible Text: ‭1 Kings 17:7 KJV

7. ‭‭And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.

INSPIRATION: What does it feel like to have a promise, a blessing or an opening shut in your face? How do you deal with disappointments that put you on the spotlight or make people question who you are or your relationship with God. Behold, the almighty Elijah, having to face a reality of lack and even the source God promised to use also dried up before his every eyes. How was he to face the nation and defend his relationship with God if he too suffered lack? His, was such an ordeal that resonates with our everyday reality.

But not to despair, God took care of Elijah! Before the brook dried up, he already made provision in a widow! God has never left His own stranded (Psalm 37: 25)! Before you took ill, He's provided for your healing; before the house goes out of stock, He already made provision; before that anxiety wears you out, He's already made a way of escape. Sometimes, the problem is not an absence of God's provision but our insensitivity in discerning what's been provided for, or the disdain for the medium He chooses to use to meet our needs. He can still use a raven, a brook or a widow, all to His glory.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

The sequence of God's provision never ends; one unfolds into another. As one brook is running dry, another chapter will open up divinely. Hallelujah!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank you for never allowing me lack; You always make a way in the most unlikely manner. Your love and thoughtfulness overwhelms me; the way You pamper and take care of me feels so endearing. Thank You for being so detailed and very intentional in ensuring all I need is supplied, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/72731278Sun, 28 Jun 2026 19:30:49 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Monday, June 29, 2026 Topic: WHEN YOUR SOURCE DRIES UP!

Bible Text: ‭1 Samuel 26:8 KJV‬

8. ‭Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.

INSPIRATION: A warrior will deploy every intelligence gathering tool available to him meticulously, in search of the weakness of his enemy so he can exploit it favourably. In warfare, all is fair, provided the victory is won. Thus, the exploitation of the enemy's weakness is a valid strategy. David saw that metal protection covered every part of Goliath's body except his forehead, and aimed at that spot! Don't forget scriptures describes some warriors as, "‭Among all these were 700 chosen left-handed men; every one could sling stones at a hair and not miss" (Judges 20:16). David was of the category of warriors who never misses.

Another critical instinct of a warrior, is that he doesn't get involved in 'civilian affairs.' Paul puts it this way, "‭No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier" (2 Tim. 2:4). You've been enlisted into God's army and the army for the survival of your destiny and all those who are connected to your purpose. You better stay off distractions and anything that could entangle and put you in a blind spot or on the line of fire. Learn from Samson; avoid becoming a cheap casualty; keep off from destructive entanglements.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Keep your focus and agility. Fix your gaze on the prize, which is, to take out the enemy.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to possess the instincts of a true warrior, give me the wisdom and discernment to take exploitative advantage of the enemy's weaknesses.

INSPIRATION: A warrior is not trained to run from his battles but to run towards the battlefront. He is trained to fight, and the more fights he wins, the more he increases in rank. Rather than scare him, battles are catalysts that activate his abilities. Be very sensitive to your battles, especially, to what they seek to trigger or quench in you. A warrior posseses the swift agility of a leopard; they respond to their environment and tame it for their own dominance!

A warrior is not so much focused on the spoils of battle as he is on the territorial control mechanism. He's only interested in subduing more territories and establishing control over them. How effectively have you taken charge of your territory? What is the voice of authority over the places under your immediate influence? Who or what governs in your space? Jesus says, "Behold, I give you authority and power (Luke 10: 19 AMPC), thus establishing that authority is different from power. Do you have authority or power? Or do you have both?

8. ‭Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.

INSPIRATION: In the old testament days, wars were either won or lost, not so much from strategy but on precision strikes. The ability to hit at target and cause colossal damage was prized more than anything. Hence, warriors practiced more on hitting targets with their first effort. Well, they knew the danger of firing amiss because their opponents might seize the moment to inflict real damage. Hence, we see David's man, Abishai, seeking David's permission to kill King Saul, on the premise that he'd only strike once. That's a warrior's instinct!

David thanks God for teaching his hands to war and his fingers to fight (Ps. 144: 1). As a warrior, he valued how skillful his hands have become with his weapons and how he has so mastered hitting at his target. It reminds me of the description of some warriors in Judges 20: 16, "‭Among all these soldiers there were seven hundred select troops who were left-handed, each of whom could sling a stone at a hair and not miss." Daily life presents us with so many battles and battlefronts at once. The ability to deal with each of the things that confront us is an art that defines our rear instincts as warriors.

2. He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace near the quiet brook of bliss.

INSPIRATION: One very striking blessing that comes with divine leading is that you can never be misdirected. If you're getting misled, it's either the directive is not divine, you drifted from the instructions, or you didn't hear correctly due to distraction or information insufficiency. God's leading is peaceable, encouraging, comforting, and soul-lifting. It will take you places where you can find pasture (John 10: 9; Psalm 23: 2). Unfortunately, many people are malnourished today because of an imbalance in their in-take of instruction.

To submit yourself to be led indicates the existence of a relationship. It is a true test of character to be a disciplined follower, where you're chiseled and beat into shape for His glory. Whilst God leaves us with the prerogatives to choose, He will always prompt us to make the right decisions. If you've difficulty in hearing, you might miss the rich guidance of His gentle still voice. He doesn't just lead you to nourishing fields, He ensures you're preserved from harm in the course of your journey to your resting place called the quiet brook of bliss. Hallelujah!

2. He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace near the quiet brook of bliss.

INSPIRATION: A songwriter sang, "Count your blessings, name them one by one, and it would surprise you what the Lord has done." One very significant blessing we so often overlook, is the blessing of divine leading, that we sometimes consider or attribute to us being too self-aware, too calculating, too smart, or our ability to pay attention to details. In all such instances, we fail to realise that others with similar attributes, got into big troubles where we escaped. The voice of God's leading helps us navigate choices in closing favourable deals.

Isaiah points us straight to God's leading, regardless of where we turn. This leading offers us a resting place in his luxurious love, the Psalmist says, because His tracks will always take us to oasis of peace near the quiet brook of bliss. In other words, God leads us where the pasture is green so we can be nourished to flourish. We must understand the rigors of searching for green grass in the desert. His leading takes us beside still waters; places where the opening is a breakthrough indeed! Still waters refers also to blessings that are not fleeting or too fast. It aligns and is tailored to my pace and ability to grasp; it is not competitive where I could be outsmarted or subverted.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

God's leading guarantees salvation in all its ramifications. Its blessedness brings us ease.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank You for leading me into blesses tailored for me; for ordering my steps and guaranteeing I'm sorted out and well taken care of. Thank You for the peace that obedience to Your leading brings. As I follow, may I always find green pastures and a resting place beside blessings that are still, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/72650150Tue, 23 Jun 2026 13:09:15 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Wednesday, June 24, 2026 Topic: BLESSINGS OF DIVINE LEADING!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left" - Isaiah 30:21 NLT‬

Bible Text: ‭Psalms 23:2 TPT‬

2. He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace near the quiet brook of bliss.

INSPIRATION: A songwriter sang, "Count your blessings, name them one by one, and it would surprise you what the Lord has done." One very significant blessing we so often overlook, is the blessing of divine leading, that we sometimes consider or attribute to us being too self-aware, too calculating, too smart, or our ability to pay attention to details. In all such instances, we fail to realise that others with similar attributes, got into big troubles where we escaped. The voice of God's leading helps us navigate choices in closing favourable deals.

Isaiah points us straight to God's leading, regardless of where we turn. This leading offers us a resting place in his luxurious love, the Psalmist says, because His tracks will always take us to oasis of peace near the quiet brook of bliss. In other words, God leads us where the pasture is green so we can be nourished to flourish. We must understand the rigors of searching for green grass in the desert. His leading takes us beside still waters; places where the opening is a breakthrough indeed! Still waters refers also to blessings that are not fleeting or too fast. It aligns and is tailored to my pace and ability to grasp; it is not competitive where I could be outsmarted or subverted.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

God's leading guarantees salvation in all its ramifications. Its blessedness brings us ease.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank You for leading me into blesses tailored for me; for ordering my steps and guaranteeing I'm sorted out and well taken care of. Thank You for the peace that obedience to Your leading brings. As I follow, may I always find green pastures and a resting place beside blessings that are still, in Jesus name.]]>1122falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/look-beyond-your-current-status-part-3--72635479 With Emmanuel Afiawari

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭We have the same Spirit of faith that is described in the Scriptures when it says, “First I believed, then I spoke in faith.”  So we also first believe then speak in faith" - 2 Corinthians 4:13 TPT‬

Bible Text: ‭Hebrews 11:10 TPT‬

10. ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭His eyes of faith were set on the city  with unshakable foundations, whose architect and builder is God himself.

INSPIRATION: There's something about paradigm shift that changes our outcome. It challenges us to better ways of thinking and acting that helps us to do better for ourselves by all standards. The moment the prodigal son had a shift in perspective, a new found freedom and authority was born in him. Then he arose! You cannot desire or focus on a 'city' that lies ahead and not rise for the journey. The prodigal son arose and walked in the direction of his new reality, and changed his outcome!

It doesn't matter how badly your worldview has been reshaped out of alignment by the agents of socialisation, you must realise you now have the mind of Christ (1 Cor. 2:16), which is superior in understanding, knowledge, and coordination. The mind of Christ stirs up the champion mentality in you. It enables your abilities and propels you towards your destiny. The mind of Christ aligns you with God's original purposes for your life; it sets you not just on a discovery journey but on a recovery mandate for your city with unshakable foundations, whose architect and builder is God himself.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

God has built a city or territory and placed you in it as His steward. What might your plans be on how to be a faithful steward of God’s estate?

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to have the true perspective of myself; may I align in thoughts and action to everything You created and destined me to become. My desire is to find, dwell and dominate every territory You've assigned to me. Help me to never fail in my stewardship of same, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/72635479Mon, 22 Jun 2026 15:54:29 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Tuesday, June 23, 2026 Topic: LOOK BEYOND YOUR CURRENT STATUS (Part 3)!

10. ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭His eyes of faith were set on the city  with unshakable foundations, whose architect and builder is God himself.

INSPIRATION: I can recall two very distinct ocassions where life became so hard and overwhelming for Abraham and God showed up with the lessons he needed to pick. In Genesis 13: 8-17, Lot chooses the well watered plain of Jordan, leaving Abraham. But God tells Abraham to lift up his eyes and look because he'd give him as far as he could see. Secondly, when he complained to God about his childless situation, God takes him outside and asked him to count the stars in the sky because his children would be equally as many as the stars (Genesis 15: 1-5).

Twice, Abraham was challenged to look up! In other words, until you look beyond the immediate, you cannot see what's ahead. A wise man once said, "What lies behind and ahead you are not as great as what's inside you." You need to pull graces for greatness from within you; you need to see the future God's planned and destined you for. You may have fallen several times, you need not stay down. Dust yourself up, take the next turn and keep moving. There's a 'city' of greatness you need to see and access. Move up!

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭Isaiah 53:2 NIV‬

2. ‭‭‭He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.

INSPIRATION: Sometimes, we let our appearance betray us before others. We let it give us away, letting everyone know if all is well or not well with us. This wasn't the case with Jesus, our perfect example. Although He had no form of comeliness. That is, there was no beauty or majesty left in him to attract anyone or be desired after he had gone to the cross. But it was for a just cause, to redeem mankind back to God. He never looked uncheerful, pitiable, discouraged or drained while here, even though He knew the nature of His death.

You don't have to look like what you're going through. Do not wear your challenge like a garment. Don't become a subject of public sympathy and gossip. Be real, you need not fake anything but you can be cheerful while dealing with even a tough problem. Cheerfulness helps lighten the burden and inspires faith. Cheerfulness may attract the kindness that gloominess may not. Reckon that everyone goes through rough patches and yours might not even be the worse.

6. ‭‭‭In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.

INSPIRATION: You can determine a great evening by how well the morning starts. A morning that's not planned for or invested into has no evening hope or expectation. Gone are the days when people live their lives to chance. Now is the time to sit down, get a plan and work towards it. Invest or divest, if you will, but make good use of your morning. A life that's not planned for is a future that's not guaranteed. Don't live as one without a future ambition.

Be wise enough to know what's a seed and a harvest. Invest now for your future. Your seedtime happens in your morning life. Your midlife is when your nurture your investments so you can have a great evening harvest. You can't wish for what you didn't plan for. You can't expect to get promotion if you didn't take courses, get higher certification or improve your skillset and output delivery. You can't wish for a great family if you didn't learn parental responsibility at your early age.

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭Genesis 2:7 KJV‬

7. ‭‭‭‭And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

INSPIRATION: Until God breathed into man, he didn't come alive or had the ability of expressions in any form. There seem to be a lot of persons whom daily pressure is choking life out of right now. Every effort either ends in futility or a miscarriage, thus, making them to spread too thin in their quest for relevance or impact. The air around seem all stifled and people can barely breathe. If you're one such person, why don't you pause, take a deep breath and exhale?

7. ‭‭‭‭And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

INSPIRATION: Until God breathed into man, he didn't come alive or had the ability of expressions in any form. There seem to be a lot of persons whom daily pressure is choking life out of right now. Every effort either ends in futility or a miscarriage, thus, making them to spread too thin in their quest for relevance or impact. The air around seem all stifled and people can barely breathe. If you're one such person, why don't you pause, take a deep breath and exhale?

To exhale shouldn't be left to reflex. It must be intentional. Be free from encumbrance so you can live! Breathe in God's energy so you can deliver on your mandate.

INSPIRATION: Pressure reveals the stuff one is made of. Some buckle under the weight of tense pressure; others exploit it to establish their dominance. But whether you crumble or soar under pressure, one thing it does, is to make you pant for air. Except you take in that air, you're either worse off in your crumbled state or you lack the requisite momentum to soar. For the latter, the air plays a dual role: gives you enough intake of oxygen; externally, creates a conducive climate for your flight.

The breath of the Holy Spirit significantly does much more than natural air. It gives life, activate potentials, enable possibilities and build stability. It unlocks access and dimensions, introduces you to platforms you could never have mounted anyway else. The breath made Adam the wonder that he was in the Garden of Eden with absolute dominion; the breath from Jesus on His disciples turn uneducated men into world changers. The breath can change you, too!

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭Ecclesiastes 11:6 KJV‬

6. ‭‭‭In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.

INSPIRATION: My local dialect has two wise sayings that give perspective to our discourse today: "Whatever time of the day a man realises himself, that time is his morning," and the second is like the first, "A farmer's morning starts the moment he gets to his farm." Taking a cue from both, it dawns on us to take definite steps to make positive impact in our lives at the earliest time realisation dawns on us. Maximise your morning and plant the right seeds that would secure your future.

The bible is clear on this: sow your seeds in the morning! Now is your morning. Take stock, reappraise yourself and invest for the future. Whether now or later, time would be spent, but the outcome would be different. So why not now? A future you never invested in guarantees no harvests! No one walks into a bank to withdraw cash that was never deposited. If you trivialise the importance of investing in your future, you'd arrive there full of regrets because nature's order is seedtime and harvest!

INSPIRATION: Inability to define who you are leaves you in a confused state where anything goes.

This could make you vulnerable and accessible to everyone and everything. The earlier you realise you're not here by accident, the sooner discovering your purpouse is taken more seriously. Else, abuse is inevitable. 

Your identity is tied to your purpose. When Peter rightly defined who Jesus is, Jesus affirmed His identity as Christ! Purpose is deeper than passion; it is the original intent of a thing.

Learn to take your journey one step at a time, perfecting your skills and abilities in bits while maturing. If you'd feel concerned that your six years old child is yet to walk and talk, you should be double worried that you're maturing in age but not in character.

Those babysteps you despise when you fall doesn't signal a failure but a training process. Embrace them whilst fixing your gaze on the prize. Excellence is a product of repeated efforts. Fall, if you will, but don't stay down. Be like that child learning to walk or run. He falls multiple times but gets up right same minute and try again. No one may applaud you like they do the kids but allow your determination be your first and greatest motivation. Pay deaf ears to detractors and distractions.

Guide my ways as You order my steps.

INSPIRATION: Agricultural science made it possible to join a plant stem to another so the grafted stem gets its nourishment from the one it is grafted to. Interestingly, they may be of different species and this would eventually lead to one tree bearing different kinds of fruits. In the same vein, that you may have been rudely separated from your original stock doesn't mean you can't grow and be productive. You can and should be the stem engrafted as a branch to another tree trunk. Draw strength and nourishment all you will from the root but retain your unique property.

Aim for the top and reach for the stars in your growth pursuit. Set very high targets in the various aspects of your life where growth is required and dedicate yourself to them. Refuse to be at ease (Amos 6:1); complacency pays you no good. No matter how successful or good you are, there's still plenty of room to grow and achieve more.

INSPIRATION: Growing up is intentional and tasking. It stretches one to the limits, and each stretch may exert pains on you. Growth assumes the pain a woman undergoes to push forth a baby. In the immediate, it is excruciating but heralds joy after the birth is successful. Birth pains doesn't make an expectant mother abandon the rigors of pushing, nor does it make her decide not to be pregnant again. If the pain of growth stops or limits you, something is fundamentally wrong with the process and the end result.

Growth requires discipline. You can't want to grow financially and not be disciplined and accountable with spending or learning how to be financially literate. You shouldn't desire to be a people-person who desires to win with people and not learn emotional intelligence. You can't use obsolete ideas to solve problems in today's digital world if you fail to grow digitally. Many are losing relevance and opportunities today because they remained stuck in their old, expired mindset. Don't further this sad statistics!

Peter describes areas you should grow in: grace is not static but progressive. As you yield more to doing God's will and learning His ways, you grow in grace. If you refuse to grow in knowledge, you'll remain bound in chains (Prov. 11: 9b). Ignorance will shackle you. True knowledge liberates only when you're willing to grow pursing it.

INSPIRATION: "And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah;... and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel" Despising the hand of God upon your life or someone else's is to your own peril. That's literally making light the effect of God's anointing upon His anointed. You're simply limiting divine possibilities around you. A Psalmist said, "‭...therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy" (Ps. 45:7). The hand of God sets you above or ahead!

The hand of God upon your life isn't only a sign of His approval, but also His backing and empowering grace.

INSPIRATION: "And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah;... and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel" There's a measure of acceleration that can only be powered by the 'Hand of the LORD.'

Grace is a buffer or cushion against the harsh realities of everyday living. Grace inspires ideas that expand your creativity. Grace markets you with a touch of preferential favour.

Grace defies all logic. God's anointing can move you with an irresistible speed, propel your flight by a force within that gives you the advantage over others. The force came upon Elijah, the result was a displacement of the fastest technology of that era. Grace made Jesus walk on water to catch up with his disciples who had been sailing on a ship before they arrived their destination (Matt. 14: 22-33).

Also, by the Holy Spirit, Philip ran up to a chariot (Acts 8: 29-30), same way the hand of the LORD was upon Elijah!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please cause Your hand to be upon me, that I may receive grace for speed; anoint me afresh with the grace of precision so that regardless my momentum, I would not miss my target. Lead me as I follow, Lord, in Jesus name.]]>1162falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/grace-for-speed--72131215 With Emmanuel Afiawari

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭Acts 8:29-30 NIV‬

29. The Spirit told Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.”
30. Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.

INSPIRATION: In track events, the fastest runner wins the race. But this is not often so in spiritual or real life context. The book of Ecclesiastics backs this up: "I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all" (Eccl. 9: 11). Time and chance are products of grace. There's so much you can do when grace is involved and engaged.

Paul argues, "‭But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me" (1 Cor 15:10). Grace doesn't take the place of labour; it wears it beautiful ornaments to make us stand out. You become sluggish, lacking speed when grace is absent. You spend so much time to get things done. Grace helps you to outdo competitors. God's speed moves you to do, accomplish and be more within a short time!

‭‭Speed may not be in relation to distance covered as it is with the turnover result in a shorter time.

INSPIRATION: A daily self-affirmation that I'm created to give God pleasure and that He delights in me builds my self-worth and helps me overcome any eternal force that tries to deflate my self-esteem. It also prevents me from indulgences that negate this truth. It helps me to be self-conscious of what I allow or disallow so as to make sin far from me, knowing that sin doesn't bring God pleasure. However, the will to give Him pleasure is not self-determined. It is God who works in us to effect it. ‭

For it is [not your strength, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure. God will continually revitalize you, implanting within you the passion to do what pleases him. Knowing this, it is up to you to cooperate and yield willingly to Him to create in you the passion to please Him. Obedience and submissiveness pleases Him.

11. ‭‭‭‭‭Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

INSPIRATION: A daily self-affirmation that I'm created to give God pleasure and that He delights in me builds my self-worth and helps me overcome any eternal force that tries to deflate my self-esteem. It also prevents me from indulgences that negate this truth. It helps me to be self-conscious of what I allow or disallow so as to make sin far from me, knowing that sin doesn't bring God pleasure. However, the will to give Him pleasure is not self-determined. It is God who works in us to effect it. ‭

For it is [not your strength, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure. God will continually revitalize you, implanting within you the passion to do what pleases him. Knowing this, it is up to you to cooperate and yield willingly to Him to create in you the passion to please Him. Obedience and submissiveness pleases Him.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭When God creates the atmosphere for us to please Him, your responsibility is to dutifully align by do so to get Him plessed.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to seize every moment to bring pleasure to You. May my life, thoughts and actions come up to You as a pleasing offering; may You derive maximum pleasure from my obedience and submissiveness as a form of my worship. If You ever need to make reference to getting pleasure from earth, may I be the source, in Jesus name.]]>1160falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/created-for-his-pleasure-part-1--72055782 With Emmanuel Afiawari

11. ‭‭‭‭‭Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

INSPIRATION: When we say a thing gives pleasure, we simply mean it satisfies, excites, delights and causes enjoyment. The bible says we're created for God's pleasure, that is, our lives should give each and much more of the aforementioned emotions. For something to satisfy, excite and cause enjoyment, it must possess certain distinct characteristics. A football game is uniquely distinct from a volleyball game. All balls but different rules apply that give their lovers that satisfactory flavour and rich appeal.

What unique characteristics do you exhibit that brings God pleasure? Does He delight in you as much as your favourite meal, music, movie or games delights you? Does it ever bother you to think about how God feels about you? Does He derive maximum pleasure from you? Can He opt for you the same way you'd opt for a preferred thing from which you derive the most pleasure when you need to be pleasured? Were you a musical sound, what pleasurable melody would you give off in God's ears?

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭If you were a meal, would you be God's favourite? Give Him pleasure, that's all!

22. ‭‭‭‭"... When the time is right, I, the Lord, will come quickly. I will make these things happen.”

INSPIRATION: A divine timing or Kairos moment doesn't just cause a turnaround, it ushers in refreshing seasons. A divine time is a "God time," where His majestic glory is at work. They're moments of miraculous interventions that often defy logic; things too wonderful for explanation occur that one can't help but be in awe. A divine timing, like magic, manifests to order or reorder our lives. You cannot have a divine moment that would not be evident in noticeable changes.

So God remembered Noah and the floods dried up (Gen. 8: 1); God also remembered Sarah and she bore a son in old age (Gen. 21: 1-2). Such moments make a mess of expert opinions (2 Kings 7:1-8) and stirs us to believe the Lord’s report (Isa. 53:1). It's your time to be remembered; your time of favour; your time of testimony. I just can't explain or shake it off but a divine moment is upon us. Things would happen so fast, you'd lose count. The elements of nature and mankind would be in league to help you favourably.

INSPIRATION: Sometimes, life's tragic events leave us between the rock and a hard place, where it is difficult to make meaning out of it, and near impossible to move on. So we get stuck and at worse, wander in circles. At such instances, reason is lost and counsel is futile. We're bitter, and generally confused because no effort appears good enough to remedy things.

At such moments, God's instruction says to move forward regardless of our reality. To move forward, press hard against your wall and force your way through.

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward" - Deuteronomy 2:3 KJV‬

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭Exodus 14:15 KJV‬

15. ‭‭And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:

INSPIRATION: Sometimes, life's tragic events leave us between the rock and a hard place, where it is difficult to make meaning out of it, and near impossible to move on. So we get stuck and at worse, wander in circles. At such instances, reason is lost and counsel is futile. We're bitter, and generally confused because no effort appears good enough to remedy things.

At such moments, God's instruction says to move forward regardless of our reality. To move forward, press hard against your wall and force your way through. What's stopping us isn't going to give up or loosen it's grip on us just like that. We must exert ourselves, defy the odds and surmount the obstacles. Be creative and innovative with executing your new strategy, but press forward nonetheless.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭Stop! Take a deep breath. Look your problems in the face and move forward!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, by your grace, I'm unstoppable and unlimited. Nothing holds me back or puts me down. I rise to a new level with each fall, and soar higher in obedience to Your command to go forward! My eyes open to new escape routes that usher me into my enlarged place in destiny, in Jesus name.]]>1115falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/god-s-welfare-plan--71922154 With Emmanuel Afiawari

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭Leviticus 23:22 NIV‬

22. ‭When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the foreigner residing among you. I am the Lord your God.

INSPIRATION: Welfare entails various forms of financial aid, public assistance, social security, provided to those who are in need of it by the government, civil society organisations or individuals. God has a welfare plan for His people too who we're distressed. He would not let you suffer endless reproach so He made adequate laws and provisions to cater to your needs. But don't take social welfare as your permanent source!

Don't get hooked on freebies like someone hooked on hard drugs. Handouts make for temporary solutions that should not be given a permanent status. Handouts are meant to bridge the moment while you work at fixing your temporary inabilities. In you lies the power to turn things around. Don't let the power fuse out unproductively as there's time for everything (Eccl. 3:1). Like Ruth, you can own what used to support you. Turn the odds in your favour.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭Turn your odds into empowering and enriching moments. Live above any temporary limitation.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, I receive grace to see my setbacks as only temporary and not something to build a permanent monument around. I'm empowered to rise back up from every fall, turning defeats into triumph and owning the fields that I used to depend on for support, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/71922154Fri, 08 May 2026 12:20:59 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Saturday, May 9, 2026 Topic: GOD'S WELFARE PLAN!

INSPIRATION: The story in Chapter 5 of John's gospel of a man sick for 38yrs and what stood between him and his healing was stepping into the water when it was stirred.

When the water is stirred, you're not only enabled to plunge in, your eyes are opened to see the accuracy of pictures concerning your future.

28. Peter replied to Him, “Lord, if it is [really] You, command me to come to You on the water.”

INSPIRATION: Possibilities abound when faith is stirred. This stirring is activated in the place of Holy Spirit inspired prayers (Jude 20) and the hearing of undiluted word of faith (Rom. 10: 17). When faith is stirred, nothing is impossible thereafter (Mk 11: 23-24). Faith as a catalyst moves the intangibles in the spirit realm to the physical plain. The presence of faith changes the dynamics of our expectations and delivers possibilities more than we could ever imagine or ask for (Eph. 3:20).

Engage the supernatural; pray intensely in the Holy Spirit and see the difference. See possibilities as you pray, study or meditate and dare to believe. Keep your belief alive by watering it with faith-based confessions until it delivers the results to you. Keep the images of your expectations before you and weave faith around them.

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭2 Corinthians 2:15-16 NIV

15. ‭For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.
16. To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?

INSPIRATION: After Jacob tricked Esau to get his birthright, we see a scenario play out where he also scented like Esau, and it made Isaac release the blessings on him (Gen. 27: 27). Isaac was so used to Esau's aura that he got fooled by Jacob. How many people can discern your aura and how does it make them behave towards you? Does it evoke the release of blessing, favour, gain? Aside the fact that Jacob was God's choice for this blessing, his smell triggered the blessings also.

On the flip side of this, are people carrying very strong negative aura like a spell. Help gets withdrawn when it's most needed at very critical moments; the aura repels their favour and leaves them in dire straits every time. Repeated negative incidents fill their lives thus heightening and widening their miseries. Regardless, Jesus took care of this by blotting out every handwriting that could work against you (Col. 2: 14). This is the gospel: you've been washed by Jesus's blood and made completely free!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven" - Matthew 5:16 NIV‬

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭2 Corinthians 2:15-16 NIV

15. ‭For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.
16. To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?

INSPIRATION: After Jacob tricked Esau to get his birthright, we see a scenario play out where he also scented like Esau, and it made Isaac release the blessings on him (Gen. 27: 27). Isaac was so used to Esau's aura that he got fooled by Jacob. How many people can discern your aura and how does it make them behave towards you? Does it evoke the release of blessing, favour, gain? Aside the fact that Jacob was God's choice for this blessing, his smell triggered the blessings also.

On the flip side of this, are people carrying very strong negative aura like a spell. Help gets withdrawn when it's most needed at very critical moments; the aura repels their favour and leaves them in dire straits every time. Repeated negative incidents fill their lives thus heightening and widening their miseries. Regardless, Jesus took care of this by blotting out every handwriting that could work against you (Col. 2: 14). This is the gospel: you've been washed by Jesus's blood and made completely free!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭Be conscious and curious to know the kind of aura you emit

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please deliver me from every form of repelling aroma that drives favour and blessings from me. I come under the cleansing power of the blood of Jesus and it separates me from the effects of a negative aroma in all ramifications, in Jesus name.]]>1186falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/appealing-aroma-part-5--71829072 With Emmanuel Afiawari

16. To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?

INSPIRATION: As we take on the final lap in this series, I wish you could take a more critical look at these scriptures and mirror yourself in them: how far/bright does your light shine? Is it visible and attractive enough to others to make them glorify God? Light, in this context, is your aroma, your nature or character on display before others. Does it send off a pleasant scent that glorifies God and makes you likeable or it delivers the exact opposite?

When Paul says, "For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing" (2 Cor. 2: 15), the question you should ask is, 'How?' The Contemporary English Version puts it thus, "‭In fact, God thinks of us as a perfume that brings Christ to everyone. For people who are being saved, this perfume has a sweet smell and leads them to a better life. But for people who are lost, it has a bad smell and leads them to a horrible death. No one really has what it takes to do this work" (2 Cor 2:15-16).

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭You can either emit sweetness or offense! One leads to a better life for others, the other leads people to a horrible death.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, I receive grace to light up my world with the right pleasing aroma that brings glory to you and salvation to others.

16. To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?

INSPIRATION: Some aroma can be so tempting, sweeping you off your feet if you let down your guards. Jacob's stew had such an appealing aroma that made Esau sell off his birthright so cheaply. When you do not place premium value on principles that govern your life, you'd become as reckless as Esau, making choices that trade off your future for immediate pleasure. You shouldn't bite everything that appeals because their glistering appeal may just be a trap to lure you away by lust.

In contemporary times, temptation comes so easily. The Internet would bring it right at your doorsteps! Your eye and ear gates become tools that heighten the appealing aroma to sin. Except you make a covenant with your eyes like Job (Job 31: 1), or like Joseph, choose not to do wickedness against God (Gen. 39: 9), there's so much appealing aroma to go round that has ruined many a great destiny. Some aroma are slippery peels you must guide against!

71. ‭ It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I might learn thy statutes.

INSPIRATION: As a survivor, develop yourself by learning practicable ways of compensating yourself. Self-compensation is a major form of looking passed the past as well as a major form of empowerment, because it puts you in control. Generally, compensating yourself for your losses is much more reliable than expecting the persons or organizations that harmed you to do so.

Part of self-compensation is having a mental picture of the things you would like to have, but which, at this moment, you feel are simply not available in the real world. Do not let reality inhibit you. Pretend you can have anything you want because you belong to God who specializes in “calling those things which be not as though they were” (Romans 4: 17).

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me" - Micah 7:8 KJV

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭Psalm 119:71 KJV‬

71. ‭ It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I might learn thy statutes.

INSPIRATION: As a survivor, develop yourself by learning practicable ways of compensating yourself. Self-compensation is a major form of looking passed the past as well as a major form of empowerment, because it puts you in control. Generally, compensating yourself for your losses is much more reliable than expecting the persons or organizations that harmed you to do so.

Part of self-compensation is having a mental picture of the things you would like to have, but which, at this moment, you feel are simply not available in the real world. Do not let reality inhibit you. Pretend you can have anything you want because you belong to God who specializes in “calling those things which be not as though they were” (Romans 4: 17).

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭Psalm 119:71 KJV‬

71. ‭ It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I might learn thy statutes.

INSPIRATION: Yesterday, we talked about the harmful effect of revenge. The energies and emotions for revenge could be channelled in more constructive and objective ways that would benefit you and others. A more constructive way in the long run, may be to join or begin an organization dedicated to victims’ issues or to prevent what happened to you from happening to others. Having been a victim, you are in a unique position to help others who also have been wounded.

Being a victim, you may have acquired insight into the conditions that contributed to your trauma. Others who've never been traumatized may not have such insights. There're countless ways to use your grief for good. At times, the best revenge is a well-spent life. As a survivor, one major goal is to take better care of yourself spiritually, emotionally and physically. Surviving a trauma can be a big form of revenge in certain situations. In addition, further revenge is to develop yourself—to go on to enjoy life and make a contribution to it.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭As a survivor, reward yourself with a better life. Be very intentional with your choices.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to make a paradigm shift as to how I view a trauma. Empower me to turn every past hurt into a purpose birthing venture.

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭Psalm 119:71 KJV‬

71. ‭ It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I might learn thy statutes.

INSPIRATION: Survivors of a painful and hurting experience fall into one of two extreme modes of reaction. One extreme is to continue the victim role of being powerless, allowing others to abuse or take advantage of you without protest in many current life situations. At the other extreme are survivors who are determined to never again be taken advantage of or exploited by anyone or any force. They're determined to get rid of the victim role and fight against anything that threatens their rights.

A survivor, desiring to part with the yoke of passivity and negativity, makes effort to do so in admirable ways, especially, if done in consideration of his physical, emotional, spiritual and financial wellbeing. To fight back the negative effect of your trauma is good. Note that fighting back and planning to take revenge on those who hurt you is not one and the same thing. At times, the process of carrying out a revenge could possibly lead to your secondary wounding thereby inflicting yourself with more harm than good.

‭‭As a survivor, seek out activities that build your esteem and reaffirm your worth and commit to them rather than seek revenge.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help to see the brighter side after surviving a trauma. Teach me how to empower myself and build my self-worth without giving room for external exploitation and abuse.

47. ‭When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”

INSPIRATION: Today, there seem to be no correlation between what people say and do or what's in their hearts. Deceit has become the new normal, even amongst believers, and it is worrisome. Whilst we may fool everyone else and get away with it, we must remember the consequences of our actions and know God rewards: "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? “I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve" (Jere 17:9-10).

Can we still have people like Nathaniel and Noah with pure motives, people with no ulterior motive or intention of deceit? People whose word is their bond? Do we still have people we can relate to without trust issues tugging at us? Can you be that one person everyone can vouch for as being honest? Do you care what others think and say of you? How about God's testimony of you? Deceitfulness has a price, it erodes trust for you and by extension, to other innocent people.

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭John 1:47 NIV‬

47. ‭When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”

INSPIRATION: Today, there seem to be no correlation between what people say and do or what's in their hearts. Deceit has become the new normal, even amongst believers, and it is worrisome. Whilst we may fool everyone else and get away with it, we must remember the consequences of our actions and know God rewards: "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? “I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve" (Jere 17:9-10).

Can we still have people like Nathaniel and Noah with pure motives, people with no ulterior motive or intention of deceit? People whose word is their bond? Do we still have people we can relate to without trust issues tugging at us? Can you be that one person everyone can vouch for as being honest? Do you care what others think and say of you? How about God's testimony of you? Deceitfulness has a price, it erodes trust for you and by extension, to other innocent people.

17. ‭‭‭No one wants you as a friend or cares what happens to you. But I will heal your injuries, and you will get well.

INSPIRATION: If one has a physical sickness, one is sure to take medical prescription to get well. But what do you take when your sickness is psychological, emotional, spiritual or any other form other than can be handled at the hospital? Herein lies the dilemma of most persons, medicating their illnesses with the wrong prescription. Who or what can cure the heart when its surest balm is no longer potent? Should one resign to fate?

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you" - Isaiah 26:3 NIV‬

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭Proverbs 4:23 KJV‬

23. ‭Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.

INSPIRATION: Believers must learn to declutter their minds; sift through content and don't allow information overload drive you crazy. Be weary of undue 'motivational' talk that could drain your self esteem this season. Allow you mind to rest! A mind filled with undue motivational talks would be scattered with a disorderly mixture of ideas and this is a real hazard to feeble minds. PEACE!!

Faulty paradigm do not yield positive outcomes, but helps to accentuate our fault lines. It is akin to expecting a bountiful harvest without first cultivating the soil, the end result is often too obvious! Mind dynamics allows for rehashing, reviewing and reinventing ourselves, but to be fixated on the statusquo is to embark on a suicide mission.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭The mind absorbs whatever it is fed and magnifies it. Free up space in your mind so its processor can run faster with accuracy!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to guide my heart and to eliminate all forms of unnecessary worries, thoughts and images that clog my mind. I purge my heart and free it of all forms of negativity that makes for an unhealthy mind, in Jesus name.]]>966falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-power-of-consistency-part-2--71213124 With Emmanuel Afiawari

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good" - Ecclesiastes 11:6 KJV‬

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭2 Kings 13:18 NIV‬

18. Then he said, “Take the arrows,” and the king took them. Elisha told him, “Strike the ground.” He struck it three times and stopped.

INSPIRATION: Talking about consistency, Paul has this to say, "‭Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up" (Gal. 6:9). In other words, harvest awaits you if you do not give up. One reason many give up too soon is that they seek a quick harvest and care less about its timing. Process is a factor with God and if you short-circuit the processes, you're sure to miss out on the desired outcome.

Most people have lost out of their prayed up expectations because they lacked the will to be consistent. Impatience is not a godly virtue, and no amount of justification can turn it into a virtue. So, you'd do well to shun all forms cynicism, negative remarks and all unsavoury comments that discourage you from your cause. Strike your sword as many times as possible because what's at stake is mightier than your immediate understanding. Keep sowing and never stop investing in your goals.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭Do not just be consistent with what you do, be twice as creative in your imagination as you are with consistency.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to be creatively consistent with what I do; give me the grace to be resilient while setting my mind on the goal. Help me to follow the example of endurance, despising shame, so I can win the crown in all of my endeavours, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/71213124Thu, 09 Apr 2026 15:59:32 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Friday, April 10, 2026 Topic: THE POWER OF CONSISTENCY (Part 2)!

INSPIRATION: Consistency is the secret of mastery and success. Show me a man who's consistent in his business and I'd show you a man who's on his way up the ladder of great success. You become what you consistently do. See what Elisha said to the man who didn't value consistency: "‭The man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times; then you would have defeated Aram and completely destroyed it. But now you will defeat it only three times"" (2 Kings 13:19).

The price for greatness in any endeavour is consistent application of yourself until you evolve. Do it repeatedly morning and night. Don't slack on your convictions. Stay on it even when you can't see any results yet. Ecclesiastes tells us to not quit as we cannot yet determine which effort would yield results. When the time is right, all your efforts could turn out just right. Hence, I challenge you to bury yourself into what you do. Give it your best shots.

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭John 3:16 KJV‬

16. ‭For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

INSPIRATION: Life would always be about stories and histories, some pleasant, others not too pleasant, and yet another set for which there is nothing to write home about. But in the historicity of your life comes an undeniable miraculous story that changes the landscape of human existence; not just for you alone but for all of mankind. It is the story of Jesus, His life, His Cross, His death, His burial and finally, His resurrection.

The story of the Cross of Jesus is not a well-scripted fiction; it is the power of God's grace for my salvation and that of all mankind, that gives us access to God without a middle man; it is the interception of a fallen man from falling into a lost eternity. The story of the Cross is a lavish well-planned ransome for my wretched soul; an eternal exchange of an innocent man for a condemned me! It is Mercy saying, "No" to my guilt sentence; and Jesus proclaiming to you as well that IT IS FINISHED!

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Matthew 28:6 KJV‬

6. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

INSPIRATION: One very significant expression of Easter is the divine exchange, where Jesus took your place so you could take His (2 Cor. 5: 21). He died as you so you could live as Him. He got condemned so you could be acquitted and free of all charges. But then, if He had remained in the grave or died again after He resurrected, His resurrection purpose would have lost its significance. Everyone who rose from the dead died again, only Jesus lives forever! Hallelujah!!

Jesus's death and resurrection reconciles humanity back to their original position before the fall of man; it places you on an equal strata with Jesus so that everything He is, you become. He arose and sits at the right hand of God (Col. 3: 1). Of most significance is the fact that He made you sit together with Him (Eph. 2: 6). Your new position elevates you from the mundane, debased and defeated living that you were once used to. You now reign in glory and ride in power - all the power that was given to Jesus Christ when He conquered sin and death! Glory!! Hallelujah!!!

INSPIRATION: It has never been a doubt that Jesus arose from the dead, what has been of contention is if believers would rise too. But my concerns today isn't about the rapture but about the fact that Jesus's rise from the grave lifts everyone who believes in Him from their fallen state of sin back to their original status before the fall - a position of victory (John 3: 14-15). If we can see light through His light, we can comprehend that we cannot remain in our fallen, defeated state, too (Rom. 8: 11).

To this end, I make bold to proclaim that you're rising up to a new level of power and victory; victory from sin, sickness, defeat, backwardness, affliction, etc. You're rising to God's originally intended position and purpose; you're rising to the fullness of your identity in Christ, no longer living below your means.

30. ‭When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

INSPIRATION: When Jesus said, "It is finished," He meant he had fulfilled the requirement of the Law and the Prophets, meaning that He is come to (a) physically accomplish all that the Scriptures say He will accomplish and (b) make clear through His teaching what the Scriptures have already said. Jesus was saying that the work he came for was accomplished. The task of earning the salvation of the world was completed in his work on the cross. No more additions or adjustments were necessary – salvation was completed.

On the flip side, He was saying a new dawn has come for you. All the negative things you've ever experienced or currently experiencing was coming to an end. He's put an end to the pain, suffering, affliction, rejection, losses, etc, you've be subjected to. His death paid the price for your total freedom. Those who knew you with the pain would look for you there but not find you; those who thought you'd never amount to much would be disappointed to see you rise like an edifice. His death was the ultimate price, nothing else is required to cement your victory.

Memory Verse: "‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil" - Matthew 5:17 KJV‬

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭John 19:30 KJV‬

30. ‭When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

INSPIRATION: When Jesus said, "It is finished," He meant he had fulfilled the requirement of the Law and the Prophets, meaning that He is come to (a) physically accomplish all that the Scriptures say He will accomplish and (b) make clear through His teaching what the Scriptures have already said. Jesus was saying that the work he came for was accomplished. The task of earning the salvation of the world was completed in his work on the cross. No more additions or adjustments were necessary – salvation was completed.

On the flip side, He was saying a new dawn has come for you. All the negative things you've ever experienced or currently experiencing was coming to an end. He's put an end to the pain, suffering, affliction, rejection, losses, etc, you've be subjected to. His death paid the price for your total freedom. Those who knew you with the pain would look for you there but not find you; those who thought you'd never amount to much would be disappointed to see you rise like an edifice. His death was the ultimate price, nothing else is required to cement your victory.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭Irrespective of how low you've sunk in life or how terribly afflicted you've been, believe it is finish and daily reaffirm it to yourself.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank You for taking my shame, pain and suffering and putting to an end all the evil associated with me. I'm free and victorious, living a brand new life in power and dominion because You did it and declared it is finished. Therefore, I walk in this new reality, in Jesus name.]]>1128falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/dilemma-of-overconfidence-part-2--71084963 With Emmanuel Afiawari

Topic: DILEMMA OF OVERCONFIDENCE (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Then she called, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!” He awoke from his sleep and thought, “I’ll go out as before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the Lord had left him" - Judges 16:20 NIV‬

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Luke 22:31-32 KJV‬

31. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
32. But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

INSPIRATION: One of the biggest mistakes of Samson was overconfidence in his ability to singlehandedly wreck havoc on the Philistines and kill scores of them. He became too self-confident until he self-destruct! When overconfidence takes over, your boast rests in the arm of flesh and in your abilities. You falsely assume your achievements are self-made, you take the glory due God and loosen your guards. But unbeknownst to you, the enemy could take advantage of your weakness to strike.

One could liken Peter to be one exuding overconfidence. He even argued against the all-knowing Jesus. At an occasion, he rebuked Jesus for talking about his death! Yet, he could do nothing when the enemy sought permission to sift him! What do you anchor you confidence on? What sponsors your kind of confidence? If all hell breaks loose against you, do you have what it takes to withstand it? Samson slipped when it mattered most; Peter got saved because Jesus had prayed for him. Do you have what it takes to stand?

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭Overconfidence to make you score a own goal. May overconfidence not make you neglect what's important or force you to trade off your secrets to success.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to put my confidence in You absolutely. Help me to guide and guard my steps from the pitfalls of overconfidence. Deliver me from the mistakes of Samson and the terrible plot of the wicked that could be fashioned against me like it was done against Peter, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/71084963Fri, 03 Apr 2026 16:48:19 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Saturday, April 4, 2026 Topic: DILEMMA OF OVERCONFIDENCE (Part 2)!

Topic: EXCUSES AND THE BLAME-GAME (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭People ruin their lives by their own stupidity, so why does God always get blamed?" - Proverbs 19:3 MSG

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Genesis 3:12-13 KJV‬‬

12. And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13. And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

INSPIRATION: It is my opinion that adults should take full responsibility for all their actions and inactions. It is irresponsible to desire praises when you get it right but look for others to blame when you goof. Actions have consequences, mistakes are like earth tremors with ripple effect. When you pick up one end of a stick, you've also invariably picked up the other end. Weigh your choices and the possible outcomes critically before you act. When you get it wrong, own up to it and live or deal with the consequences.

Irresponsibility releases a restive and an unstable spirit into people. Unstable people are tossed here and there, they're unable to make or own their decisions, and so, can't receive anything from the Lord (James 1: 6-8). Reuben was told, "‭Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel;" (Gen. 49:4). Reuben acted irresponsibly by sleeping with his father’s concubine! The point still remains that no matter the excuses we give to justify our actions, we're not spared of the responsibility. God slammed His verdict on Adam in spite of his excuses!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭Paul says, "Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man," (Rom. 2: 1). You'll be made to give an account of your stewardship in due time (Rom. 14: 12).

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me not to trivialise the power of accountability. May I not make excuses for my failure to apply discretion where it mattered most. Guard my heart away from the influence of an irresponsible spirit, in Jesus name, Amen!]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/71046617Wed, 01 Apr 2026 16:09:37 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Thursday, April 2, 2026 Topic: EXCUSES AND THE BLAME-GAME (Part 2)!

INSPIRATION: Those who blames others for everything are character-deficient and lack capacity for process-thinking. They cannot deliver the future, not for lack of the resources but for want of innovations; they cannot harness their thoughts. To them, everything is either black or white, and anything in between is inconsistent, incongruent and inconsequential. They're  fastidious to a fault but does nothing worthwhile with their meticulous quest for details or data available to them.

They masturbate with lofty ideas but wait to no end for all the lights to turn green to strike; whilst they wait, others take the initiative and a circle begins! They're champion procrastinators with bloated egos earned from wishes rather than decisive action. They're isolated, self-conceited, judgmental; yet they know not that the prevailing strategy for the new age is winning with people!

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Luke 1:41 KJV‬‬

41. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

INSPIRATION: Mary walks in and the baby in Elizabeth's womb leaped! Let's take this as an imagery, where the baby in the womb represents yet to be birthed ideas. I should like to think Mary wasn't the first or only person to ever visit Elizabeth in her pregnant state, but only her made such a significant and remarkable difference worth recording. Do you have people who stir the fire🔥 in you aflame and replenish your depleting strength like Mary did to Elizabeth?

How many people in your circle of friends and family can be dream compatability partners to you? Do not just have sexual and emotional compatability partners in relationships, have same for your dreams! Who's your go-to person when you've a burden? Joseph had none both in his family and amongst his prison colleagues! Beyond being a dreamer, can you interpret other people's dreams? Joseph practiced his gift to where he could monetize it by interpreting Pharaoh's dreams. How much is your own gift worth? Can it attract kings?

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭Practice your gifts to a professional and profiting/monetization level. Have you ever considered monetizing yours? Can your gifts attract your Pharaoh?

41. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

INSPIRATION: Two significant scenarios played out with very different outcomes in our scriptures today that would help to drive home our thoughts. Joseph had a dream and told his brothers, and hatred followed. He dreams again and tells it in details to his brothers and parents and his father rebuked him (Gen. 37: 9-10). We must be careful not to share our dreams too prematurely; we must be careful whom we share our dreams with.

Not everyone can midwife your dream to maturity; not everyone can help interprete your dreams and give you the desired support to flourish. But these are the kind of persons you need; people who will pick your crude dreams, refine them and give you wings to fly. We need people who are not intimidated by our visions, people who are not abortionists to the great ideas we're daily inspired with. I'm talking about people who'll celebrate your baby steps and nurture your seed until it blossoms into a huge oak tree.

5. ‭‭Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.

INSPIRATION: No one can claim to be journeying with God who is not living a consecrated life. To be consecrated is to be set apart, reserved only for God. This is different from wearing a pious look to be seen by men to be holy; it is to to be sold out to God, His ways and His will. Consecrated living builds your bond of intimacy with the Holy Spirit. In essence, to journey with God is to set aside everything else just to be alone with God.

Anyone living a consecrated life must be deep in prayers. Praying is not just a calling but a lifestyle. The journey with God must task your prayer life; now, we're not referring to those perfunctory, obligatory prayers said at intervals, neither are we talking about prayers laced with only requests that satisfy your needs. It refers to the kind of prayers that searches the mind of God to know His will for the moment. There're heights and depths in God that only a genuine desire to journey can lead you to.

INSPIRATION: Journeying with God is not a hundred metres dash. You're not in a Sprint either. It is rather a distance in the Spirit, where you yield your totality to His Supremacy. It is to follow as He leads, taking the lessons as they come. Here, you do not determine your move up the ladder because until you pass His test, you'll not be released to advance. Journeying with God will task your patience and challenge your faith. It is a sojourn of encounters, and sometimes, battles or burden bearing.

In this journey, you cannot measure your progress by the number of spiritual gifts you operate in or by the number of spiritual exercises you embark on but by the depth of your love, commitment, passion and understanding of God. It is a journey that requires you to deny yourself and take up your cross daily. Journeying with God is an avenue to build spiritual stamina, develop resilience that is fueled by a deeper hunger for fellowship with the Holy Spirit, who reveals the Father to us with clarity, etc.

That's how some of us are: tasteless and bland. When you do not give off your true or right flavour and make others feel your taste, you're like a meal served without salt.

God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill" - Matthew 5:14 (MSG)

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Matthew 5:13 (MSG) 

13. Let me tell you why you are here. You're here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You've lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage.

INSPIRATION: The scriptural verse often referred to as the "Golden Rule" sums up my thoughts for today, "In everything you do, be careful to treat others in the same way you’d want them to treat you, for that is the essence of all the teachings of the Law and the Prophets" (Matt. 7:12 TPT‬‬). A bleeding heart understands the rhythm of consolation; it longs for the soothing balm of compassion. You can never go wrong with being genuinely compassionate. Touch lives and leave a positive footprint!

I can be the bridge between the hurting and the relief they seek. You can be the light in their dark tunnel; the footprint to a secured destiny. I can be the lifebuoy to that drowning dream; the teacher through whom wisdom and direction flows. You can be the answer to someone's prayers, or a stumbling block for his downfall. We can be many things to different people across board, but we should never become anyone's nightmare!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭When men say, "There's a casting down," don't just say, "There's a lifting up" and walk away. But, try lift somebody up, where possible.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to be both salt and light to the world and a huge blessing to everyone I'm privileged to meet; teach me to serve my community with grace and to raise the hopes of others. I'm determined to positively spice up and light up their lives, and never to be a stumbling block to anyone, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/70831835Mon, 23 Mar 2026 15:57:08 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Tuesday, March 24, 2026 Topic: BE THE DIFFERENCE-MAKER!

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Isaiah 46:10 NLT‬‬

10. Only I can tell you the future before it even happens. Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish.

INSPIRATION: Isaiah was very emphatic when he said only God can tell you the future before it happens. Believers must take a cue from this and not allow anyone hoodwink them into some sham of some prophetic pointers that has no basis in the Scriptures. This statement does not in any way attack the office or role of a prophet; it only serves to warn you to subject every 'prophetic pointer' to the scrutiny of God's Word. Test all spirits, John warns us (1 John 4: 1). Do not give room for deceptive spiritual manipulations and manipulators as we now see today!

Isaiah says further, "Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish" (Isa. 46:10b). Why? They align with His plan for your life - a plan that had been put in place before your birth. Believers owe it to themselves and to God to discover His original purpose for creating them. Do not serve an agenda different from your original purpose. God had a plan in mind for creating you. Jeremiah's own was to be a prophet to the nations (Jer. 1: 5), whats yours? Make no mistakes about it, you're not where you are by accident.

10. Only I can tell you the future before it even happens. Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish.

INSPIRATION: Moments like this where one is pressured on every side by life's reality, one is challenged to draw solace from God's Word: "‭‭Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails" (Prov. 19:21). The reason to draw this distinction is because you're predestined for a purpose (Rom. 8: 29 - 30). There's a purpose over your life that dictates what comes your way. I dare say many of the challenges life throws at you are part of God's agenda to bring you into alignment with His predetermined counsel concerning you.

Before you were born, the agenda - God's holy plan, was already determined! Since it is holy, nothing tampers with it. Do what you may, you'll still come back into its reality so you can walk in all that God had in mind for you. "Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish" (Isa. 46: 10). Can you pause for a moment to thank God for His purposes for your life, that regardless of your plans, His plan prevails (Prov. 19: 21)? With this, you can be rest assured you'd always find divine alignment where it matters most!

44. Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends.

INSPIRATION: Assumptions, when made wrongly, have destructive tendency. Many are victims today of the vicious attacks instigated by wrong assumption. Once good friends have become sworn enemies; once blissfully peaceful unions have gone south due to wrong insinuations and malicious decoding of innuendos.

It was William Shakespeare, in Macbeth, who quoted Duncan as saying, "There's no art to find the mind's construction in the face." Stop trying to be a mind reader; only God can with accuracy! Don't always think you're right all the time. Mary and Joseph found out how wrong they were about Jesus after a whole day had passed!

Give room for others to have their say. Subject every matter to an objective scrutiny. Test yourself and don't have an overblown ego of yourself. If you do, you're likely to self-destruct because you'd have developed self-sabotaging tendencies that you could have overlooked over time.

23. Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.

INSPIRATION: Never in history of mankind was anyone born with class; you could be born into wealth but class is an acquired virtue. Sophistry is a learned behavior. If you must operate at a level far higher than you currently do, you must upgrade to that class structure. Learn the language of the palaces if you want to court the company of princes and princesses.

You can't desire the life of a boardroom guru yet operate with the mindset and disposition of a janitor or clerical assistant. Step up in your learning. Bridge the knowledge gap. You may want to improve on your diction and general communication skills. Be very intentional while communicating your future.

Dress the part you aspire to. I'm not suggesting you fake anything. A mediocre dressed in suit would betray his status by his aura. Do you have an executive presence that commands respect and public attention? What fragrance do you give off when people meet you? What impressions do you leave in them after you've long left?

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Proverbs 4:23 KJV‬‬

23. Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.

INSPIRATION: Never in history of mankind was anyone born with class; you could be born into wealth but class is an acquired virtue. Sophistry is a learned behavior. If you must operate at a level far higher than you currently do, you must upgrade to that class structure. Learn the language of the palaces if you want to court the company of princes and princesses.

You can't desire the life of a boardroom guru yet operate with the mindset and disposition of a janitor or clerical assistant. Step up in your learning. Bridge the knowledge gap. You may want to improve on your diction and general communication skills. Be very intentional while communicating your future.

Dress the part you aspire to. I'm not suggesting you fake anything. A mediocre dressed in suit would betray his status by his aura. Do you have an executive presence that commands respect and public attention? What fragrance do you give off when people meet you? What impressions do you leave in them after you've long left?

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

You don't have all the time to make history; you only have a moment! Make that crucial moment count!! Step up your game!!!

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Proverbs 4:23 KJV‬‬

23. Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.

INSPIRATION: Our discussion today centers around doing things differently. It takes someone with a different kind of spirit, orientation, value proposition and philosophy to act differently from others. The bible says of Caleb, "‭‭But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it" (Numb. 14:24). He and Joshua were the only ones allowed to possess the land they had gone to spy.

When you're different, you come into divine opportunities others may not access! You think differently and carry a problem-solving mindset. Your analytical approach and objectivity separates you from others. The world is shifting to big data analysis and artificial intelligence, you can't afford to be thinking on an elementary, mundane and crude level. Else, you'd sooner become redundant. Problem-solvers think at a higher level above the level where the problems are created. That way, they can fix it!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

If you must say, "You're the head and not the tail," you must have 'head attitude,' and reason above your peers. You'd have to see ahead, to get ahead!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, help me to approach life with a winning mindset; stimulate me to become a problem-solver and a world changer. I'm empowered to think and act differently, and to see undeniable answers in every storm. I command uncommon results in chaos and do valiantly everywhere, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/70689320Tue, 17 Mar 2026 15:14:00 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Wednesday, March 18, 2026 Topic: STEP UP YOUR GAME (Part 3)!

23. Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.

INSPIRATION: We must learn how to begin to take responsibilities for ourselves if we must make a difference. The Easy version renders Proverbs 4: 23 thus, "Be very careful to keep your mind safe. The thoughts that you think make you the person that you are." Profound submission indeed! The moment you let down your guards, you do not only become vulnerable, you assume a defeatist posture!

That's why you must step up your game. Do not live beneath your means. You're larger in capacity than you currently process and manifest. Shallow thoughts would make you lose the eagle's vision and soaring wings that you possess. Small thinking erodes big vision. Don't settle for a chicken's lifestyle when you have the sophistication and dexterity of an eagle. An eagle belongs to the mountain tops; they glide on the wings of the storm.

25. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

INSPIRATION: There appears to be a big misconception of the identity of Jesus, as it then was, and now is. Whilst, He's known as Joseph's son, the Carpenter, Jesus of Nazareth, son of David, etc, people could only relate to His earthly identity but not His deity. Hardly was He seen as God or the Son of God! It is against this background of poor perception that people related to Him, and missed out greatly from miracles that knowing Him properly could have made easy! The grace that you despise won't work for you!

But, I digress! Jesus reminds Martha of His true identity: the resurrection and life! Nothing dies in His hands. Even already dead things come back alive because He's the life-giving Spirit! No matter what's dying around you; it's hopelessness is no barrier to the almightiness of Jesus! He'll make it come back alive! First, He raised the dead, and He, too, got raised from the dead, as a witness to you that He possesses the powers to make dying and already dead things come alive.

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you" - Romans 8:11 KJV‬‬

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭John 11:25 KJV‬‬

25. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

INSPIRATION: There appears to be a big misconception of the identity of Jesus, as it then was, and now is. Whilst, He's known as Joseph's son, the Carpenter, Jesus of Nazareth, son of David, etc, people could only relate to His earthly identity but not His deity. Hardly was He seen as God or the Son of God! It is against this background of poor perception that people related to Him, and missed out greatly from miracles that knowing Him properly could have made easy! The grace that you despise won't work for you!

But, I digress! Jesus reminds Martha of His true identity: the resurrection and life! Nothing dies in His hands. Even already dead things come back alive because He's the life-giving Spirit! No matter what's dying around you; it's hopelessness is no barrier to the almightiness of Jesus! He'll make it come back alive! First, He raised the dead, and He, too, got raised from the dead, as a witness to you that He possesses the powers to make dying and already dead things come alive.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Catch the Spirit that raised Christ from the dead! You can do so much when your spirit is on fire with it🔥!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please release upon me afresh the grace and the spirit that raised Christ from the dead and cause me to be a miracle working tool in Your hands to bring dead and dying things back to life. I receive this grace without measure and function effectively in this office, in Jesus name.]]>902falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/exalted-horn-part-3--70592806 With Emmanuel Afiawari

Topic: EXALTED HORN (Part 3)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭And Hannah prayed, and said, my heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation" - 1 Samuel 2:1 KJV‬‬

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Psalm 92:10 KJV‬‬

10. ‭‭‭‭But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

INSPIRATION: When your horn is exalted, you'll tower shoulders higher than ordinary, and this would make you see farther and clearer. There's so much damage done to our vision and pysche when our heads are bowed: opportunities are missed, or the will to venture is lost completely. When your horn is bowed or broken, you can't be in your right/best frame of mind, and you can't fully explore your creativity as your attention to vital details would be reduced.

Here's what the anointing with fresh oil does: it straightens up your horn and exalts it to a higher dimension of manifestation and empowers you to live up to the bidding of your calling/purposes in life. It breaks the yoke of setbacks like it did with Hannah, where barrenness lost its grip on her. I perceive in my spirit that God is releasing an unusual anointing upon us this season to lift us up where we belong; it's going to settle a lot of long unresolved issues around you and give you the victory. You heads would be pulled up back again!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

An exalted horn cancels every assault on your life. Get yours anointed and uplifted!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please exalt my horn like that of the unicorn and release fresh oil on me; pull me up where I truly belong and set my life on the right trajectory with attendant results. Shame ceases to know my dwelling; rejection and affliction are banished from my path.

10. ‭‭‭‭But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

INSPIRATION: When God exalts your horn, your mouth will be enlarged over your enemies. By implication, you'll begin to reign over everything that ever dominated you. An exalted horn is a symbol of power, repositioning and realigning you to your purpose. It stops every nonsense that has gone on for far too long. Hannah's year of childlessness was terminated when her horn got exalted! She had the last laugh and birthed Samuel, one of the most outstanding leaders/prophet Israel ever had.

You don't know what God's about to turn your life into because of your exalted horn! You can't imagine or compare what kind of testimonies God's about to set up for you as your horn gets exalted. Kings would seek you; favours will find you; answers would come from you! You'll move stages and levels, displacing and dislodging others to assume your star position! Fresh oil for more visibility and impact comes on you that makes you the preferred and favoured one everywhere you show up!

10. ‭‭‭‭But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

INSPIRATION: There're many things that challenge our God-given dominion (Gen. 1: 28) and make our heads bow in shame (Luke 13: 11). Life challenges us on all fronts, hence the need to give attention to seeing that your head remains anointed with fresh oil and lifted. The anointing is God's empowerment that defies the enemy forces. For an animal, its horn is a weapon of attack and defense; in biblical context, it refers to a symbol of power, authority, strength, enablement, dignity, etc. To have your horn exalted denotes prosperity and victory.

It is possible for someone's head or horn not to be exalted. But that would mean being striped of all dignity and glory. Hence we speak and raise standards against everything that challenges your horn from being exalted. Your head shall not stay bowed in shame; your heavens will be open and the power of God through Christ shall exalt your head above the reproach of Satan. You'll walk in victory against all odds. Anything that targets your horn bows to the authority in the name of Jesus Christ.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

The anointing of God will terminate your appointment with shame. Henceforth, disgrace shall be far removed from your dwelling.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, may my horn remain fully and always exalted; may Your fresh anointing come upon me with such an empowering force and knowledge to thrive in my new status. The power of shame is destroyed; my horn is not broken, neither am I subjected to the mercy of the wicked, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/70555911Mon, 09 Mar 2026 22:04:52 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Tuesday, March 10, 2026 Topic: EXALTED HORN!

INSPIRATION: God spoke to Moses in very clear terms: "Stop crying to me; get the people to go forward" (Exo. 14: 15 paraphrased). In other words, God wasn't getting moved by his tears where action was required! Most of us get too carried away by our emotions, thinking God could be swayed by it. But if He wasn't with Moses', don't expect Him to be with yours. Simply dust yourself up and move forward from the past, the pain, the loss or delay. It's high time you stopped empowering your past bitter experiences to shape your future.

God says to Moses to tell Israel to move forward! The miracle you hoped to provoke by your pity-party is only possible on the other side of your action: so move forward! The ten lepers that encountered Jesus didn't get healed until they moved forward. Give yourself a mindshift that allows only for positive thoughts to thrive in your heart; do not cripple yourself or make yourself immobile by your actions. Moving in circles is not your habitation; moving forward is!

Topic: THE WAIT IS OVER!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭On the first day of the third month after the Israelites left Egypt—on that very day—they came to the Desert of Sinai" - Exodus 19:1 NIV‬‬

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Deuteronomy 1:6-7 KJV‬‬

6. ‭‭The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:
7.  Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, .....

INSPIRATION: When you encounter God as you ascend into His presence, one thing is guaranteed: acceleration in the right path is confirmed. It doesn't matter how long you've been on the wrong path or held back from reaching your true potentials, once you encounter the grace of God, you're pulled in the right direction with a force so compelling that neither you nor anything can resist. God says to Israel, 'The wait is over. You've circled on this mountain for too long. Take your journey to your destiny!"

The yoke of delay is broken; the chains to your feet are loosed; the pessimist and or mediocre mindset is redeemed. You've dwelt in that pain, that shame, that setback or reproach for too long. As your progress into this month, you've been empowered to break free from every circle that limits your progress. Your dreams are coming true; God's mandate is for you to walk into your ordained destiny and nothing shall be able to hold you back

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation" - Psalm 24:5 KJV‬‬

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Psalm 24:3-4 KJV‬‬

3. Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who shall stand in his holy place?
4. He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

INSPIRATION: Ascending the hill of the Lord to stand in His holy place should be the desire of every believer. However, it is expected of you to meet certain critical criteria to so do. Holiness is at the core of these expectations. You can't be holy and not desire his presence; you can't desire His presence and not be a true worshipper. Real heartfelt worship is at the core of our relationship with God, and nobody offers genuine worship in a sinful state.

Believers must begin to take their holiness walk more seriously. Without holiness, no one can see the Lord (Heb. 12: 14). Being holy is being set apart, sanctified for God. It is not an outward pious display but an inner transformation and appreciation of God's finished work of grace in Christ Jesus. Ascending to stand before God's holy place is the essence of our Christian walk. Sin would either keep you from this experience or the experience would keep sin far away from you. The fire, glory and blessings that come with His presence should never be wished away or traded off!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

The presence of God transforms. In all of your pursuit, hunger genuinely for His presence.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank you for the power of Your presence and for drawing me close to You. Your glory draws me into Your presence where Your holiness rubs off on me graciously. All I want is to know You and to walk in the righteousness that enables me to approach Your throne anytime, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/70490464Thu, 05 Mar 2026 21:12:49 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Friday, March 6, 2026 Topic: ACCESSING GOD'S HOLY PLACE (Part 2)!

3. Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who shall stand in his holy place?
4. He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

INSPIRATION: Most believers today would rather want to enjoy God's blessings instead of seeking God's presence. But there's a huge difference and great benefits when you cultivate real value for God's presence. The Psalmist describes the character traits of anyone who should ascend God's presence (Ps. 24: 3 - 4). You've got to have a pure heart to access God and all of His glory; you've got to have a clean spirit, and these are not subject to what you think of yourself.

God says to Samuel, "‭‭Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart" (1 Sam. 16: 7). So when you approach God's presence, He's looking out for the content of your heart. Whilst man can be deceitful, he can't try anything funny with God (Jere. 17: 9 - 10). God would respond to you according to the content of your heart.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

There're glories in God's holy place that should interest and drive you to seek His presence more than ever before.

28. ‭‭‭‭And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

INSPIRATION: Here's the main point of the matter, the current economic situation in our nation has rendered many hopeless and depressive. Many are fighting 'demons' in their heads, struggling to figure out what's next on the deplorable surprise agenda of government with the galloping inflation and scarce resources. Everyone is affected by this harsh turn of events. But not to worry, this won't be its first time. In 2 Kings 6: 24 - 33, we see a similar situation, where women had to kill and eat their own children to stay alive!

But miraculously, God turned it around (2 Kings 7: 1 - 16). Elisha had prophesied a divine turnaround but an expert doubted. In same manner, God is saying the current situation, whether economic, emotional, physical, spiritual or otherwise, that has defied solution, will work for your good. Right when you least expected, God will show up and turn things around; it would work in your favour. You'll go through this 'fire' unburnt; you'll see favours from every side. In the midst of scarcity, you'll live in abundance. God's working it out for you!

Divine turnarounds can still happen when we're at your lowest moment. Never doubt God's assurances!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭He has made everything beautiful in its time..."  - Ecclesiastes 3:11 NKJV‬‬

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Romans 8:28 NKJV‬‬

28. ‭‭‭‭And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

INSPIRATION: Here's the main point of the matter, the current economic situation in our nation has rendered many hopeless and depressive. Many are fighting 'demons' in their heads, struggling to figure out what's next on the deplorable surprise agenda of government with the galloping inflation and scarce resources. Everyone is affected by this harsh turn of events. But not to worry, this won't be its first time. In 2 Kings 6: 24 - 33, we see a similar situation, where women had to kill and eat their own children to stay alive!

But miraculously, God turned it around (2 Kings 7: 1 - 16). Elisha had prophesied a divine turnaround but an expert doubted. In same manner, God is saying the current situation, whether economic, emotional, physical, spiritual or otherwise, that has defied solution, will work for your good. Right when you least expected, God will show up and turn things around; it would work in your favour. You'll go through this 'fire' unburnt; you'll see favours from every side. In the midst of scarcity, you'll live in abundance. God's working it out for you!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Divine turnarounds can still happen when we're at your lowest moment. Never doubt God's assurances!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank You for taking hold of the messes in my life and turning them around for my good. I know Your thoughts towards me will bring hope and a future. Therefore, do your bidding in my life and make it work for my good, in Jesus name.]]>829falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/god-s-assurances-of-hope-part-2--70340440 With Emmanuel Afiawari

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Romans 8:28 NKJV‬‬

28. ‭‭‭‭And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

INSPIRATION: You may have screwed up and mismanaged several opportunities that could have landed you something big, for which you now so badly hate yourself. May I announce to you that all such missed opportunities are working in your favour today. Sometimes God allows certain things to happen contrary to our desired plans, but when we look critically in retrospect later, we can tell it was God at work based on His timing and purposes for our lives.

What you call mismanaged opportunities could possibly be a divine escape by God's sovereign planning to preserve you for a time such as this. Hallelujah! Yet, even if it was an orchestration from the enemy, God can still make the enemy's plot work for your good. Learn to trust God through the turns and processes your life takes. Give God the benefit of making a praise out of your life; allow Him turn the ruins and debris in your life into a magnificent edifice. Never doubt that He can make a message out of your mess as He's capable of making all things beautiful in His time!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Relying on your intellect to understand spiritual things will rubbish your comprehension. Just believe all things will work for your good and be at peace.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please give me the presence of mind to trust You when life's reality becomes too overwhelming to cope with; help me to see You working out the details for my own good in spite of whatever reality that stares me in the face, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/70340440Fri, 27 Feb 2026 19:15:00 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Saturday, February 28, 2026 Topic: GOD'S ASSURANCES OF HOPE (Part 2)!

28. ‭‭‭‭And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

INSPIRATION: Every once in a while, the human race is thrown into chaos and in the wake of such storm, people tend to let go of God's promises. Currently, there may be overwhelming and energy-draining storms all over your life that you don't seem to know how to deal with each. Whilst grappling with one, another appears to be breaking loose on you on another side. It is against this chaotic reality that I bring you God's assurances, "The storm won't last forever." This, too, shall pass!

Whilst may be struggling to accept this prophetic word, can I announce to you that God is in your storm with you, and He will make it ultimately work for you good. Yes, may be overwhelmed already but that's God's opportunity to step in an take on the steering wheels of your life. He'll fashion out His purpose through it and cause you to thrive regardless of the glaring negative indices.

7. ‭‭And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

INSPIRATION: Yesterday, we addressed the effects of deformity on us all, chief of which was the fact that it incapacitates us. But you can deal with the deformities and eliminate the incapacitation. Do not go about medicating the symptoms without applying any remedies to the problem. The lame man wanted alms instead of a proper solution to his predicament. But Peter was discerning enough to know what he needed was to be taken by the right hand and lifted up! Once he did that, strength came to his feet and ankle bones.

What is that area where you so badly need to be 'lifted'? Have you identified the areas where you've become weak and drained of strength? If you got the required help today, would you take some positive action like leaping up, standing and walking? Would you walk, leap and praise God (Acts 3: 8)? Or you would rather remain in your pitiable state like most people would want to do, giving a permanent residence to temporary situation? His deformity wasn't a permanent one but he could have stayed on it rather than get the desired help!

INSPIRATION: Some kind of deformity put you in positions of helplessness; others keep you in perpetual need, while yet another kind takes away your value and self-abilities. Some deformities are so subtle in nature, you'd hardly notice they exist. But a careful look reveals how so deprived, depraved and unfulfilled someone with deformities can be. A deformed person cannot 'rise up;' they're always in a position where their strengths and potentials are undermined.

So Peter would say to this man, "Rise up and walk!" I speak to everything that has kept you down from rising or being active, I rebuke the spirit behind your deformed status, rise up now! Rise! Take your rightful place and begin to be progressively productive. We arrest every spirit of fear and incapacitation in the name of Jesus.

5. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.

INSPIRATION: Jesus would say, "‭‭You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you" (Matt. 5:43-44). When you understand that enemies are key instruments in God's hands to bring you into the fullness of His purposes, your prayers for them would change! Knowing that God can use the enemy's evil plans for your own good, you should not fret when they go to work!

An enemy can pursue you to discover your purpose; they can 'frustrate' you into a life-changing discovery! They sold Joseph, and put him in prison, yet, he lived his dream! Their actions became the catalyst in the actualisation of his dreams. God would put His hands upon Syrus, an evil king, because of His elect's sake (Isa. 45: 4). Isaiah goes further to tell us, "‭‭I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways; He shall build My city and let My exiles go free, not for price nor reward, (Isa. 45: 13). God is up to something great in your life this year, using the enemies!

The enemy's evil plans are God's raw material to further His agenda for your life! Know this and know peace!

Knowing that God can use the enemy's evil plans for your own good, you should not fret when they go to work!

An enemy can pursue you to discover your purpose; they can 'frustrate' you into a life-changing discovery! They sold Joseph, and put him in prison, yet, he lived his dream! Their actions became the catalyst in the actualisation of his dreams. God would put His hands upon Syrus, an evil king, because of His elect's sake (Isa. 45: 4). Isaiah goes further to tell us, "‭‭I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways; He shall build My city and let My exiles go free, not for price nor reward, (Isa. 45: 13). God is up to something great in your life this year, using the enemies!

The enemy's evil plans are God's raw material to further His agenda for your life! Know this and know peace!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to understand the mystery of You using the enemy's schemes to birth your purposes for my life, and give me the grace to trust you through the process, in Jesus name.]]>972falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-mystery-of-the-enemy--70213898 With Emmanuel Afiawari

5. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.

INSPIRATION: There're many mysteries in and with God, but one that may never be easily understood is God using the enemy as a tool to further His plans for our lives. Why would God plant enemies around you and use them to birth his purposes? He can turn the heart of the most hardened enemy to work out a favour for you; they'll serve as instruments to see you succeed, giving you all the trade secrets to navigate difficult terrains until you win. This mystery is too deep for the undiscerning.

So the Psalmist says, "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies." There're blessings God wants to release to you, but His default design is to release them to you in the presence of your enemies as a way of His show off! You're God's bragging rights; the authentic proof of His splendour. It doesn't matter how the enemy fumes and plots, he has nothing on you because God's got your back! Glory be to God. Hallelujah!!

‭‭12. And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 

INSPIRATION: When Jesus says, "Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming" (Matt. 24: 42), you need to take it more seriously. It is the inability to anticipate divine visits that robs us of the glory that comes with such moments. Once we become insensitive, we get carried away with the pursuit of other activities that could choke the life of our spiritual consciousness. In such moments when we let down our guards, we miss His coming.

Christ is coming soon. It doesn't matter what your personal biases are about this statement; it doesn't matter how long you've heard these statements, believed it for long but yet to see its reality. It would happen when you least expected it to, and it might be too late then if you fail to take heed now. Blessed is he who's not offended in Christ for these sayings. To this end, your concerns should be: what rewards am I due for at His return based on what I've done? Think critically on this!

11. ‭ For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

INSPIRATION: Grace has been severally defined as unmerited favour, where you didn't need to do anything special to earn it. It wasn't by your qualifications either. The Psalmist says, "‭‭For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them; but it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, because You favored them" (Psa. 44:3‬). This should sober you to think you got nothing by fighting for it nor did your efforts save you against evil.

So what then is the work of grace? It is to give you access to divinity so you can become all you were designed and destined for. Grace in action doesn't necessarily mean you having possession of all your needs, but in making available all that you should need to access all He's made available for you (Eph. 1: 3); it is the empowering knowledge that you're not disadvantaged in Christ. When grace is in action, favour kicks in; when grace is in action, ease occurs; when grace is active, struggling ends, etc.

INSPIRATION: Life, sometimes, would create bumps in our way in form or delays, setbacks, rejection, failure, sickness, lack, poverty, divorce, pain, betrayals, suffering, etc. The aim is to blur your vision, derail your goals and make you lose focus until you begin to reason subjectively instead of being objective, articulate and forthright. It is often geared towards making you tense and forgetful of God's goodness while clinching to and personalising your ordeals as your personal traits.

It is dangerous to ascribe names and then personalise these ordeals. The moment the thought registers and you give voice to it, you legitimises it. Whatever Adam called a thing, it became! Isaiah says, "‭‭Do not call conspiracy everything this people call a conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it" (Isa. ‭8:12‬). Don't call things what God hasn't called them. Even when it appears as hopeless as the dry bones in a valley, still prophesy as commanded rather than admit to the negative reality staring at you (Ezek. 37: 1 - 10)

It is dangerous to give a legitimate name to whatever God hasn't named so in your life. Don't do it!

39. But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.

INSPIRATION: There's a new generation rising with a flaming fire in their bones who wouldn't take a no for an answer. They're so resolute, unflinching and dogged. They beat no retreat at life's threat but would rather run towards the battlefront. Their mantra is, "We can," no matter the odds in their way. This breed are bound for exploits, taking new territories and tearing down old mindsets. A new dawn is upon us. If you snooze, you'll miss the fire kindling everywhere.

Hebrews 10: 39 tells us. "But we are not of those who draw back." It underscores the fact that a lot are drawing back! Their zeal is weaker, their enthusiasm has flattened; hope is dashed and their reality appears to have sunk their faith. But this new breed knows that looking back is not an option. Their eyes are locked on the prize, no matter the price it would cost. Their hands are steady on the plough, completely sold out to a cause they cannot abandon midway. Their treasure lies ahead so is their heart (Lk. 12: 34).

INSPIRATION: Any discovery that doesn't force or motivate you to a new cause of action isn't worth your consideration!

You'll never know how much is kept or hidden from you when you don't have a passion for reading. Reading liberates the mind, equips you with tools and directs you on the path to follow.

Now, Jacob discovered by revelation, while Daniel discovered by books. Does it imply these are the only means by which discoveries can be made? No. Examples abound in scriptures where angelic visits, prophetic pointers, consultations, counsel, etc helped people discover God's agenda and their own assignments.

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭54:2‭-‬3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

2. ‭‭Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes.
3. For you shall expand to the right and to the left, And your descendants will inherit the nations, And make the desolate cities inhabited.

INSPIRATION: Can I challenge you to expand your creativity beyond your current use. Creativity defies traditional bondaries; it doesn't believe in status quo; it creates a pathway for one's self, especially, where others cannot go. Your creativity should have a unique appeal that differentiates you from others. Creativity pulls out witty inventions (Prov. 8: 12). Gifts do not work themselves into perfection. Own your craft and develop it.

Expand your friendship threshold. Elevate your horizon to a new level of thinking and acting, not with a view to manipulating the process, but for objectivity. You may need to quit mediocrity and small thinking as you expand your understanding and appreciation of true values. Expand your vision. Challenge your results and break their limits. Improve, keep improving until you get so good and undeniably publicly acknowledged and appreciated.

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭He touched their eyes and said, “Become what you believe" - Matthew‬ ‭9:29‭ ‭MSG‬‬

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭54:2‭-‬3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

2. ‭‭Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes.
3. For you shall expand to the right and to the left, And your descendants will inherit the nations, And make the desolate cities inhabited.

INSPIRATION: Can I challenge you to expand your creativity beyond your current use. Creativity defies traditional bondaries; it doesn't believe in status quo; it creates a pathway for one's self, especially, where others cannot go. Your creativity should have a unique appeal that differentiates you from others. Creativity pulls out witty inventions (Prov. 8: 12). Gifts do not work themselves into perfection. Own your craft and develop it.

Expand your friendship threshold. Elevate your horizon to a new level of thinking and acting, not with a view to manipulating the process, but for objectivity. You may need to quit mediocrity and small thinking as you expand your understanding and appreciation of true values. Expand your vision. Challenge your results and break their limits. Improve, keep improving until you get so good and undeniably publicly acknowledged and appreciated.

What would it cost you to rewrite your resume to make you more competent? Does your proposals have the essential details that could give you a competitive edge? What's your engagement portfolio like on LinkedIn and social interactive sites that could put you constantly in the faces of those who might need your services?

Have you considered registering your business and getting licenced to operate legally? Knowledge is progessively dynamic. Hence, you cannot effectively operate using an outdated knowledge or certificate. Your knowledge gap and operating system needs urgent updating.

INSPIRATION: Isaiah comes with a divine matching order: "Enlarge the place of your tent..." In other words, don't be content with smallness. Whilst you may start small, be willing to skillfully exert and apply yourself to achieve greatness. It is God's intent to see your expand, and He's made resources available to achieve this.

"Enlarge the place of your tent and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings!" As your expansion kicks in, cover your tracks. Leave nothing to chance. Have a holistic approach to life.

INSPIRATION: In a world filled with scary economic indices with experts in various fields reeling out heart-wrenching statistics, it is imperative that you must take a stand on what you believe or choose not to believe. Whilst the facts speak for themselves, you must realise that you become what you believe (Matt. 9: 29 MSG). To this end, for you not to accept and conform to these damning statistics, you must be willing to stretch your mind to conceptualise ways to beat the odds.

It was the revered E. W Kenyon, who said, "Make your brain work. It will sweat, but make it work. It will improve. It will develop until you become a wonder to those around you." Many of us are not exercising our brainpower; we're not putting it to work as much as we should. Stretch your limits! You do not know what you're capable of becoming until you task your brain. Make your brain work. Your improvement is tied to the limits you're willing to stretch your mind.

Topic: AUDACITY OF AGREEMENT (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven" - Matthew‬ ‭18:19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Genesis‬ ‭11:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

6. ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

INSPIRATION: Jesus's statement in Matthew 18: 19 establishes the audacity in agreement. Nothing is impossible where agreement is enforced. Agreement doesn't leave you in the realm of speculations; it is a catalyst that engineers unrestrained pursuit. Agreement galvanises your thoughts, redirects your faculties to what's important - that's the goals before you and the terms in the agreement. It acts as your reference point for any line of action to be taken or not taken.

An agreement pulls out the dormant gifts and abilities within you. Not too many of us have used a quarter of the potentials we're endowed with to create a remarkable change. When you're in agreement with yourself, your goals fall into alignment and your imagination becomes more creative, more daring and ever determined. With you, impossible doesn't exist! You're rather energised for the right action regardless of your feelings.

INSPIRATION: Permit me to interrogate the topic on agreement. The dictionary has many definitions for it, of which few are: an understanding between entities to follow a specific course of conduct; a legally binding contract enforceable in a court of law; a state whereby several parties share a view or opinion - the state of not contradicting one another, amongst many others. An agreement, whether written or verbal, is a commitment to some cause. It's terms are binding on all parties.

Many of us are so disagreeable, first, to self, and then to others. Hence, the many restrictions we face daily. In building the Tower of Babel, the people were one! What are you 'one' with today? Anywhere or when disagreement looms, the will to do is lost. Do you have the audacity to agree? Do you have the will to act on your goals, visions and proposals? Do you even agree to the terms stated in your goals, visions and proposals or they're mere academic exercises? The proof of passion is pursuit.

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" - Genesis‬ ‭1:1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Revelation‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

8. ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

INSPIRATION: Genesis' opening Verse is instructive to our message today. Define your strategy and operations and hit home run from the beginning. No point to delay. Get clarity and enough light around what you're about to do. There's no room for trial and error. Your beginning is critical to how your foundation is laid and how you'll build subsequently. If you despise your beginning, you're sure not ready for what's to come thereafter.

God sees a matter to its end, backs off and begins at its beginning again to create or work it out. You should have a mental picture from start to finish for whatever you embark on. Stop desiring a great ending that you haven't factored how well planned out your beginning was. For if the foundation be destroyed, what can you do (Psalms 11:3). This question should provoke you to put on your thinking cap concerning your foundation each time you want to begin something

INSPIRATION: There can never be a better way to define hopelessness as much as having ideas but lacking where to start from. And whilst some are caught up in this inertia, they lose the vision, gets the idea muddled up and abandoned completely. Great ideas are to be worked on and reworked until they shine through; they're not to be shelved like souvenirs. But an idea never worked on soon becomes a piece of valueless antique in your museum.

God models a different pattern on what to do with an idea. He goes to work from the beginning. Never start a project from anywhere other than its beginning, else, it's aesthetics would be marred by structural defect. A good idea has a life of its own, starting from the beginning, with deliverable milestones that take you to the end. God is not called the "Beginning and the End" for nothing. It is so you can look at Him for an example and model your life to have great beginnings and greater endings.

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭6:6‭-‬8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

6. ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7. Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8. Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

INSPIRATION: The ability to have a water tight plan is not for the fainthearted. It is what separates those on a mission from those missing in action. Knowledge equips you to plan properly by weighing all the variables, but many scorn true knowledge to their own destruction. Visions and goals dictate our plans. The ant provides itself food in the summer but the plan is rolled out during harvest.

It's sad when you can't tell your harvest from your seed. But worse when you mismanage your harvest! This is the bane of many today, and it's the reason many are not great yet. Hence, Proverbs say, "Go to the ant and learn how to coordinate and  organise yourself!" In other words, there's more wisdom in an ant that you can crush under your feet or with insecticides than in you with all the education and the Holy Spirit within you! There's no worse indictment than this!

Their choices are prioritised to reflect their valurs and the measure of wisdom they possess or the lack thereof.

Proverbs 6: 6 - 8 challenges the folly of indolence. It speaks to how ants govern themselves, plan their activities and are wise enough to store up food for the rainy day.

Whilst it's okay to so do, it is often not always in all instances that they're right or they ever get to do anything thereafter. Certain level of details would never be at your disposal until you've acted on your conviction. Some people complain of never getting recognised or given a raise at work but their appraisals show they've been docile and uninspiringly worthless to the team.

If you're proven like Jesus did to Philip, do you know what to do? Do you have a mind of your own that can process thoughts on its own and provide leadership at a larger scale or you're one who can't see beyond your nose or act right without being instructed?

Some people complain of never getting recognised or given a raise at work but their appraisals show they've been docile and uninspiringly worthless to the team.

If you're proven like Jesus did to Philip, do you know what to do? Do you have a mind of your own that can process thoughts on its own and provide leadership at a larger scale or you're one who can't see beyond your nose or act right without being instructed? Do you have a problem-solving skill that gets activated when problems spring up or are you intuitively proactive enough to foresee and forestall one? Can you maximise opportunities that others can't see or take?

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭Responsible people get things done and take responsibility for their decisions and actions. The opposite is true for people who can't take initiatives.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me see the bigger picture and take the right action in every situation. Help me to increase my problem-solving skills so I can remain an invaluable asset all the time, in Jesus name.]]>891falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/take-the-initiatives--69622963 With Emmanuel Afiawari

Topic: TAKE THE INITIATIVE!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do" - John‬ ‭6:6‬ ‭KJV

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭11:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

4. ‭‭‭‭‭‭He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.

INSPIRATION: Never has life been a bed of roses or great victories won on a platter. It takes strong determination, skillful manoeuvres and an unshakable audacity to take the right initiatives that sway the pendulum in one's favour. It is irritating to see someone with a clearcut assignment who wastes their time procrastinating. They often fail to realise the wisdom in Zig Ziglar's advice, "If you wait until all the lights are 'green' before you leave home, you'll never get started on your trip to the top.” 

You'll never know how many opportunities that slipped by or you've missed to hit several goldmines for delaying; you'll never know how many more destinies attached to yours that would suffer the very grave consequences of your negligence to take initiative. Square up your shoulders, brace yourself for it. You're well suited for this at this time. Don't let another great moment slip by. Go with a strike force precision and hit the home run. The moment is yours. Seize it and make it count!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭A divine moment not seized and effectively used is an elongation of a season that you've outgrown. Think about it, please.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me not to waste my divine and destiny-changing  moments any more. The grace to take the right initiatives is released upon me afresh to do exploits and conquer territories, in Jesus name. ]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/69622963Tue, 27 Jan 2026 15:49:46 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Wednesday, January 28, 2026 Topic: TAKE THE INITIATIVE!

Topic: THE SPIRIT OF UNWAVERING COURAGE (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" - 2 Timothy‬ ‭1:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1:9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

9. ‭‭‭‭Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

INSPIRATION: Courage gives you an unwavering audacity that resonates deep within you, knowing you can do all things through Christ's strength (Phi. 4: 13). It is like the surging pump of adrenaline in your veins that defy any opposition. It motivates you to try again irrespective of the number of times you've failed at same thing. That is, courage doesn't give up easily. In a world bereft of resilience, it is courage you need to fight through to your victory.

But for courage, what would make an 80yrs old Caleb demand to be given the mountain (Josh. 14: 12), or to say, "‭‭Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it" (Num. ‭13:30‬)? This year holds very beautiful promises but it didn't promise to be easy or rosy. It would take great courage to be stable as you take a fighting chance at life. Courage makes you go for what's yours without looking back. It would take courage to see what others can't.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭Courage is a product of power and sound mind. Where courage is lacking, check the level of power and the soundness of your mind.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please give me the audacity to take on life with a dogged determination.

Memory Verse: "‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD" - Psalm‬ ‭31:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

9. ‭‭‭‭Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

INSPIRATION: Courage is not the absence of fear, but the will to take the right action in spite of your fears. I know many of us started the year with fear due to unfulfilled expectations of last year. As such, the will to try same or other ventures this year has been lost. Loses have a way of creating doubts that increase our fears. Yet, God says to tell you, "Be of good courage." Good courage drains fear of its energy and surges you with vitality.

One of the best assurances and courage boosters we have is that God is with us wherever we go. Being conscious of this can make you take on your mountains until they become plain; it helps you face your battles squarely. Courage sees no threat or obstacles; it runs towards challenges and literally eats them for breakfast. Courage scouts for problems to conquer. God tells Joshua three times in chapter one to be courageous for the task ahead. Same word applies to you ahead of 2026.

INSPIRATION: No gift works itself, neither is excellence a gift but a spirit. No matter how highly gifted you are, if you do nothing with it, you'd soon become redundant. Excellence is a product of consistent and persistent labour. The more you repeat an action, the more mastery you gain with and from it. Except Bezaleel had gone to work with his gifts, all the wisdom, knowledge and understanding that God filled him with would have come to waste!

Grace does not cancel the dignity of hard work. Rather, grace makes you work smart, creates more opportunities and puts you and your products in the hearts of men for continuous patronage. If you hide under the guise of grace to be lazy, you're not following the example of Christ, who said, ‭‭“My Father never stops working, and so I work too" (John‬ ‭5:17‬).

INSPIRATION: I feel a strong leading to alert us to the need to pay more attention to details this year than we've ever done. Be meticulous in your scrutiny. Do not take everything at surface level otherwise very serious unmitigated damages might occur unnoticed. Plant a good seed but watchout for saboteurs who creep in at odd time to sow tares. Do not lose your investment to chance or blind trust. Are we building a culture of mistrust with this? Never. But wisdom is profitable to direct (Eccl. 10:10).

Guard your heart; protect your territory. Be more devoted to your businesses, career, investments and relationships. It is sad to see people give more attention to things that add no value to their lives than they do to the things that matter most to them. Give no place to the devil to do you dirty. Water your seed but get rid of tares that pose a threat to your harvest. Mount your guard with full attention. What you don't pay early attention to may never blossom into a fruitful enterprise.

Topic: PAY METICULOUS ATTENTION!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Neither give place to the devil" - Ephesians‬ ‭4:27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Bible Text: Matthew‬ ‭13:24‭-‬25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

24. ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

INSPIRATION: I feel a strong leading to alert us to the need to pay more attention to details this year than we've ever done. Be meticulous in your scrutiny. Do not take everything at surface level otherwise very serious unmitigated damages might occur unnoticed. Plant a good seed but watchout for saboteurs who creep in at odd time to sow tares. Do not lose your investment to chance or blind trust. Are we building a culture of mistrust with this? Never. But wisdom is profitable to direct (Eccl. 10:10).

Guard your heart; protect your territory. Be more devoted to your businesses, career, investments and relationships. It is sad to see people give more attention to things that add no value to their lives than they do to the things that matter most to them. Give no place to the devil to do you dirty. Water your seed but get rid of tares that pose a threat to your harvest. Mount your guard with full attention. What you don't pay early attention to may never blossom into a fruitful enterprise.

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven" - Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Bible Text: Ecclesiastes‬ ‭11:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

4. ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.

INSPIRATION: You can be anything but never be a lone ranger! Form good, healthy, and productive alliances. Rebuild and mend broken relationships. Many are dry and unproductive today because they allowed pride ruin their partnerships. Don't be deceived to think you're sufficient in yourself (2 Cor. 3: 5).

Build a team. Synergy is the new world order. Isolated individuals short-circuit themselves and may even dry up while still alive. An isolated person isn't as much different from one that companions with fools. One thing common to both is starvation and paucity of the right information that matter to giving them an advantage.

I challenge  you to be a people-person and learn the act of winning with people this year. Collaborate more than you're willing to compete. Seek out persons, groups, institutions and corporations that deliver key values with excellence and join them. By all means, make the most of your time this early as you go into the year. Wisely invest time!

Bible Text: Ecclesiastes‬ ‭11:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

4. ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.

INSPIRATION: The year has welcomed its 20th day already. Whilst some are still smarting from the euphoria of a new year, activities have kicked off in top gear for many others. This is not that year to idle way in religious and/or traditional platitudes as against being transitional while others are cashing out big. Its time to throw yourself into the ring; its time to exert yourself and carve a wave for your own outstanding display of results.

The arena of commerce is big enough to accept you; it's time to synergise and forge new partnerships; it's to to rebrand and/or diversify your trade; it's time to invest; to plow and cultivate your fields! Yes! It is!!The experts may have given very dreadful forecasts on the economy, the government may have drifted like a raft lost at sea, and everything appears gloomily hopeless, etc, but it is never time to despair on throw in the towel. Resigning to nothing is not in your DNA. So perish the thought!

Let faith arise within you and propel you to sow regardless of the glaring deficiencies. Do not patronise the architects of doom to ruin your future. Sow in self-development; sow into optimising scarce opportunities. Dare to think differently and motivate yourself to actions that defy statusquo. You want a different outcome, act contrary to your reality: sow without observing the wind; aim at the harvest without letting the clouds stop you!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Be wise and smart with your opportunities to turn your fortunes around this year! Dream wild and be action-oriented. The harvest beckons!

Bible Text: 1 Timothy‬ ‭4:13‭-‬15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

13. ‭‭‭‭‭‭Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
14. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
15. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

INSPIRATION: Paul admonishes us to give attention to reading, exhortation and doctrine. Yesterday, we touched on a little about reading. Reading makes you wiser. An unwise person can't give sound advice. Passion drives and fuels pursuit. No one can be sold out and dedicated to anything they're not passionate about or that they do not understanding. Passion stirs the creative ingenuity that births excellence.

One proof of diligence is how excellently well you do things. We already know diligence is the gateway to dining with kings and fishing in deep waters with nobility (Prov. 22: 29). A lot of us have been too negligent to the most important things in our lives for far too long. We can't afford to toll that route any longer.

Jesus told Martha, "‭‭But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her" (Luke‬ ‭10:42‬). Paul says when you give yourself wholly to the important things of life, your profiting may appear to all. Think about this for a while. If you don't make profit out of the things you do, it most likely means you're not paying enough attention to what's vital.

It was in the light of this that a wise man once said he who has not found a cause to live for has not discovered something to die for. Have you found a cause to give your all to this year? Paul admonishes us to give attention to causes that would make our profiting appear to all. In other words, giving your all to a cause(s) rewards you first before it benefits others.

Don't live an accidental life this year. Find something that challenges or motivates you to do better for yourself. Apostle Paul suggests reading firstly. Why? Readers are leaders.

Whilst the nation rejoiced that David slew Goliath, they never saw the fall that could come from Beersheba. Do not only manifest in big fights. Plug the little leaks that could destroy you. When people appear before a job interview panel, they're asked, "Can we meet you?" They want to hear your strategy, what you'd do differently. Your plans to assist them is what they want to see.

What are your personal goals and plans for this year on a more serious and broader sense? What's your strategy to arriving at the goals? Have you counted the costs and weighed your intentions?

INSPIRATION: The year eagarly awaits your manifestation (Rom. 8: 19). Therefore unleash your mindpower! If you must make real significant progress, you must unleash fresh ideas forged on the furnace of critical thought-processing. Dynamics for real success is changing. To keep the pace, you must update yourself and refuse to function with obsolete skills and tools. Passivity will not win you the laurels that a proactive exactitude would deliver.

The tide may not always be in you favour, that's why you should develop skills and unleash potentials that would successfully help you swim against the odds. Don't wait for conditions to be favourable to act; they may never be. Seize every moment and make the most of them. Be your own rainmaker if the rains refuse not fall; create your own rainbow if nature refuses to gift you one. Be your own sunshine.

Beat every odd in your path by unleashing superior strategies. Take your world by storm. Hit hard like a thunderbolt. Men may disagree on your methods but they can't dispute your results. By all means and within the legal framework, unleash and get results! The world waits eagerly for what you make of your existence and opportunities. You're on the world screen and the theatre is filled with spectators who want to see you evolve. Don't fail them

If you must make real significant progress, you must unleash fresh ideas forged on the furnace of critical thought-processing. Dynamics for real success is changing. To keep the pace, you must update yourself and refuse to function with obsolete skills and tools. Passivity will not win you the laurels that a proactive exactitude would deliver.

The tide may not always be in you favour, that's why you should develop skills and unleash potentials that would successfully help you swim against the odds. Don't wait for conditions to be favourable to act; they may never be. Seize every moment and make the most of them. Be your own rainmaker if the rains refuse not fall; create your own rainbow if nature refuses to gift you one. Be your own sunshine.

Beat every odd in your path by unleashing superior strategies. Take your world by storm. Hit hard like a thunderbolt. Men may disagree on your methods but they can't dispute your results. By all means and within the legal framework, unleash and get results! The world waits eagerly for what you make of your existence and opportunities. You're on the world screen and the theatre is filled with spectators who want to see you evolve. Don't fail them

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Become your greatest cheerleader this year. Be self-motivated; be a self-starter. Take your world by storm but make a mark!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to exceed every expectation of manifestation set before me as I unleash my skills and gifts in the pursuit of purpose this year. Cause every actions I take to yield positive results to Your glory, in Jesus name]]>756falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/be-unleashed--69421689 With Emmanuel Afiawari

Bible Text: 1 Samuel‬ ‭30:8‬, 17 ‭KJV‬‬

8. ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.

INSPIRATION:  Have you ever seen a community where terrorists invaded and unleashed their terror? They do it without mercy. They aim at their target and strike with a precision force so deadly that it leaves scores of casualties in its wake.

Approach the year with a lion's heart, a cheetah's speed and leopard's claws. Be uncompromising in your approach. Aim at your target with a laser beam precision and pull the trigger. Oh yes! Pull the trigger. There're big games in the wild you must gun down. There're many new territories to conquer and already won ventures to consolidate on. There're new deals on the block to close; new synergies and partnerships to incorporate.

Seize the moment; make every day count positively in your favour. Approach the year with a business-like minded person that has refused to be shallow, clumsy and uncoordinated.

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭If the ax is dull, and one does not sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but wisdom brings success" - Ecclesiastes‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Bible Text: Proverbs‬ ‭24:3‭-‬4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

3. ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established;
4. By knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches.

INSPIRATION: Each time you encounter a problem, a demand is placed on the level of wisdom you operate by. Two women approached King Solomon to legislate on a matter concerning the legitimate mother of a child in dispute. He deployed wisdom to reveal the truth. Your wisdom screams aloud when we view how organised or otherwise your life is. Your wisdom is also questionable when your delivery is not commensurate to the expectant results of your high office. Wisdom will task your commitment to excellence or otherwise.

No matter your skillset, wisdom as a factor must never be undermined. Wisdom brings ease and commands undeniable results. Wisdom is a builder. Wherever you see lack of structure, there you'll find a wisdom problem. Wisdom establishes. Therefore, if there're areas that you've not been fully established in, the requisite wisdom might just be absent. Wisdom, that is, the right application of knowledge guarantees that you're filled with precious and pleasant riches. Wisdom is a difference maker!

INSPIRATION: Have you seen or heard people personalise a pain? Ever heard, "My headache," "my condition," or "my worry," etc? Some use these to stress the depth or magnitude of their misery so as to attract sympathy and excuse them for failing to live up to certain standards. A wise man called it a 'WISDOM PROBLEM." Explaining, he further said that no one has a money problem but a wisdom problem; no one has a relationship or love problem but a wisdom problem.

We often think and blame several other factors for our plight but fail to realise none of those would have been a factor if we were wiser. The year has begun. You cannot operate on the same scale as you did last year and expect a different result. You must uptool and upskill to meet the demands of your new reality. Don't expend valuable time and energy using blunt axe to fell your trees this year.

Use wisdom to change the game. Build every venture on sound wisdom; get adequate understanding if you must be established.

Topic: LEAD WITH A PLAN (Part 3)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭You may make your plans, but God directs your actions" - Proverbs‬ ‭16:9‬ ‭GNT‬‬

Bible Text: Proverbs‬ ‭19:21‬ ‭GNT‬‬

21. ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭People may plan all kinds of things, but the Lord's will is going to be done.

INSPIRATION: Strategic thinking would of necessity result in strategic and elevated planning. It's obvious many of us are revolving in circles because we're not thinking strategically enough. You need to think with your brain and not with your emotions. Emotional thoughts will never bring the same level of results that proper brainstorming devoid of sentiments would. Good results is not emotional; it is a fallout of a disciplined tasking of the brain.

Money or promotion will not answer to emotions but on strategic logical pursuit. Be strategic! This year, don’t jump unwisely on every social media mantra. Device strategic plans to de-escalate conflicts and reduce tension. Yes, conflicts would arise from different quarters because people are already tipped on the hedges. Little things would trigger unexpected reactions. You'd need to be extremely diplomatic in dealing with individuals, groups and companies.

Plan how to stay afloat and thrive in very hostile business relationships and other social interpersonal relationships. Properly planned strategy keeps you focused on the goal and keeps you indispensably relevant to others. Rework your plans to deliver value always. Plan on leveraging the help and support of people planted in your path and field of operations. Avoid the pitfalls of self-isolated success where proper synergy could have delivered optimal value.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

How strategic your plans are would determine whether you would win your battles and lose your wars or whether you would come out with a win-win situation at all times. Plan strategically!

INSPIRATION: Sometimes I find it puzzling to see young men with well rehearsed lines to woo a woman but soon get thrown off balance when asked what their plans are for the relationship. As it is with asking a woman out, so it is about life in general. Be able to articulate your plans in clear terms. Eliminate all forms of ambiguity. Rework it over and over until it becomes 'S.M.A.R.T' enough for implementation. Your plan is your road map to a targeted end.

Your plan should include your to-do-lists that can help you arrive at a determined outcome. A good plan always has the big picture in view. What's your big picture for this year? It is wisdom to commit your plans to God because He directs your actions. Don't get too smart in your planning that you leave God out. Because outside the help of God, all plans come to futility. Don't embark on white elephant plans and projects that look so glamorous outwardly but so shallow and devoid of real substance internally.

Failure to plan is an invitation to disaster. A plan guides and guards you through all levels of involvement in the execution and actualisation of your goals. Your plan must imclude a method statement for each step or phase of execution, and your mitigation strategy for the unforeseen. A good plan should cover a thorough risk and SWOT (strengths  weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis. Planning is practical, not faith rhetorics.

Your plan should task you mentally to pull out the best in you. And in a real business plan, budget should be the last or least factor so you don't limit your creative instinct to the funds at your disposal. Be creative in your imagination. Think wild.

INSPIRATION: One thing common to the end of a year and the start of another is planning. Plans encapsulated in visions. Except you have a detailed plan, you might just be a fatal accident waiting to happen. A plan is not a wishful thought but a well structured framework of procedures, processes and methods to achieving your goals. In other words, it must be properly defined and written for you to be taken seriously.

Your plan must be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound. Its failure to meet any of these specifics has already punctured its entirety. Talking about realistic goals, don't gamble with your future doing trial and error projects if you don't want to reap the whirlwind. It is not every "feels good to do" project that you should invest time, energy and your resources into. Do due diligence but be truthful to yourself. Be sure what you want to do and determine your outcome before committing to any.

Guide and guard against internal leakages and self-sabotaging proclivities. Set a time frame to measure progress. Setup really authentic self-scrutiny mechanisms as well as yield yourself to responsible and respected accountability partners. Be wise with your investment plan. Planning and proper investments should be done with calculated risks. Do not allow emotions mislead you. Don't be goaded by greed or be inspired by insincere motivational talk. You'll fail woefully.

Topic: MAKE THE YEAR OUTSTANDING WITH RESULTS (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Through God we will do valiantly, For it  is He who shall tread down our enemies" - Psalms‬ ‭60:12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Bible Text: Daniel‬ ‭11:32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

32. ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great  exploits. 

INSPIRATION: Being excited about a new year's prophetic word is great. However, leveraging on it to do warfare and secure your portion in that declaration is greater. 2026 is not that year for idle and indolent religious platitudes. You've got work to do and you must roll up your sleeves to work!  If you think the prophecies would work themselves out while you idle away in your rest, you're grossly mistaken. Micah says, "‭‭Arise and depart, for this is not your  rest; ..." (Micah‬ ‭2:10‬a). This is just the induction ceremony. Get your main job description and start working.  

Climb out of your high horses and get to work! A farm that is not weeded soon gets outgrown by weeds. Carrying out great exploits come with coordinated diligence. Shake off the euphoria of having crossed over into a new year and begin earnestly to plant seeds that could give you the results. A student who wasn't studious all term but goes to sit for exam should already know his result. In spiritual matters, there's no such thing as luck. The law of seedtime and harvest always take precedence (Gen. 8: 22). This is your seedtime. Don't waste it.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Those that sow wait for their harvest. Are you ready to sow this year? If yes, what are you sowing? If not, what are your plans to getting results?

PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank You for tasking me to make the most of this new year. I receive grace to be diligent, prudent and disciplined in the deployment of time and resources at my disposal to get quality results, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/69341749Wed, 07 Jan 2026 15:17:20 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Thursday, January 8, 2026 Topic: MAKE THE YEAR OUTSTANDING WITH RESULTS (Part 2)!

INSPIRATION: The dawn of a new year comes with a lot of mixed feelings: high hopes, fear, anxiety, uncertainties, etc. 2026 will be no different as these same mixed emotions would gain traction in the course of the year. But one thing is certain: they that know their God shall be strong and shall do exploits (Dan. 11: 32). You've been anointed and equipped to command outstanding results this new year. But the caveat is you knowing God! This should challenge you to a deeper and closer walk with God in this new year. Commanding results should be your focus all year round.

A young lion doesn't struggle to live after its nature; an eagle would not become a chicken because it was bred in a chicken's farm; your nature is that of a creator, to do things to advance God's work on earth. It is in your DNA to create sterling and stellar results. You cannot be less than nature equipped and designed you for. Paul says, "‭‭For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God" (Rom. 8:19‬). What exactly is the world earnestly expecting from you in 2026? It is nothing else but great results. Theory and rhetorics would not suffice where results are expected. So brace up!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Men may argue with your method but they can't deny your results. The world awaits those results; God designed you to create outstanding results. He's committed to your cause. This serves as a reminder: you can't fail or backtrack on it.

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it" - Jeremiah 1:11-12 KJV

Bible Text: Genesis 2:19 KJV

‭‭‭‭‭19. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

INSPIRATION: The moment we realise that death and life are in the power of the tongue (Prov. 18: 21), we cease to be careless with what we say because what we say becomes seed that germinate with repercussions. During creation in Genesis 1, whatever God said was what He saw. He didn't say, "Let there be light," and a house sprung up. Whatever He spoke came into existence. So here comes Adam following God's template, and it was recorded that "and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof" (Gen. 2: 19).

What are you seeing concerning the future ahead of you (Jere. 1: 12), and what are you willing to call forth? Men saw a dead and buried Lazarus, but Jesus saw a man with living potentials and called him forth (John 11: 43-44)! This is no mere cheering motivation; it is life-giving creative impetus to your destiny. Jesus says, "... the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life" (John 6:63). When you come to terms that as Christ is, so are we in this world (1 John 4: 17), you'd realise that your words carry life in them as His did. Glory!
God is asking you a similar question that Ezekiel was asked, "Son of man, can these bones live (Ezek. 37: 3)?" Can you change your narrative? Can you alter your future? Can you determine a positively favourable outcome from the gloominess that fills the atmosphere around you? The questions are open-ended but the turning point came for Ezekiel when he prophesied as he was commanded (Ezek. 37: 4-7). These things were written for our example (1 Cor. 10:11) so you too can prophesy. Follow after the examples of Adam, Jeremiah, Jesus, and speak the future you desire into beings.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Names and vision matter to your destiny. Therefore, ensure you see clearly so you can appropriately name the things you want to see manifest in your life.

‭‭‭‭‭19. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

INSPIRATION: At the dawn of every new year, people face its wake with contrasting mix of hope, enthusiasm, expectations, anxiety, perplexity and uncertainty. Most people paint on their canvas pictures of gloom and despair and call into being the reproaches that ultimately hurt them all year round. Truth is, whatever we see and name our year as, that's what it becomes. This is a biblical principle set in motion from creation. Whatever name Adam gave the animals became their name and nature!

The story of Jabez gives a pathetic clarity to this timeless truth. "And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow" (1 Chroni. 4:9). This man lived a life of sorrow just because his mother named him 'Sorrow.' Can one's name affect them just like that? Yes, it can! "And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin" (Gen 35:18). Ben-oni meant, "Son of my sorrow" or "son of my affliction" while Benjamin meant "Son of the right hand."

It is no wonder then that God says to Jeremiah, "Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it" This year, gain clarity of vision so you can name your reality correctly. As you do, always bear in mind that "Whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof." The year has been brought before you like the animals were brought before Adam to see what you would name it. I dare you to pick the names that mirror the future you've envisioned. In case you've named anything wrongly or allowed anyone to so do, like Jabez and Isreal, you can effect a name change right away (1 Chroni. 4:9-10; Gen. 35: 18). Yes, you should because you can!

Bible Text: Mark 5:25-26, 29 KJV

‭‭‭‭‭25. And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, [26] and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered,...[29] And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up;

INSPIRATION: Whenever anyone comes to terms with their scars, they strip synics off the power to stigmatise them. Therefore, own your scars with pride for it tells a powerful story of your resilience. To the person out there who may not know your struggles and what you overcame, a scar may seem to disfigure you, but their interpretation is flawed and skewed in the light of your own reality. Your truth supercedes their faulty perception, and that should count for a big prize to hold on to and celebrate.

Not too many genuine survivors of truama have had the privilege to own or tell their story in a celebratory way because of societal inhibitions. Sadly, while you bled, not so many gave you a chance or hope that you'd survive it. So what do you care now that your bleeding is over? The story about the woman with the issue of blood shows she was focused more on the outcome of her healing than she was about what people thought. She showed her scars and told her story defiantly. Do you have a story of what you survived? Tell it!

Jesus wasn't just having it with Thomas. He did not only show His scars, but asked him to touch and feel it. He had completely healed so no amount of touch could reopen the wounds. You don't have to fake your healing. Neither should you let people gaslight you. Don't let anyone put any disingenuous disclaimer to your story or disparage you for your scars. Your scars are the stars that populate your crown as an overcoming warrior. Had Jesus's scars disappeared, no one would have believed He resurrected. Scars give credence to our stories. Wear yours proudly.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Never ever apologise to anyone about your healing or allow anyone undermine your recovery process. Wear your scars with dignity because no one knows what you've survived.

INSPIRATION: Sometimes, there're people who feel uncomfortable around you when you bleed, and yet others who feel greatly disgusted about your scars. Whether you bleed or have scars, the natural disposition should be empathy and not apathy or a high sense of contempt towards hurting people. But when Thomas and key actors around this woman refused to show empathy, both Jesus and the woman held on to their respective stories and showed their victory. Hallelujah!

First, Jesus says to Thomas, come and see and feel it. By that, He was saying, I'm no longer where I used to be, neither am I where you left me at. It's interesting how people expect to still meet you where they left you in pain, broken and rejected. No! Your path is a shining light (Prov. 4: 18). You're progressive and dynamic, evolving through the roughest or darkest patch life deals you. Jesus went through his ordeal but came up with his victory scars that silenced the doubting Thomas! His scars had an incontrovertible story to tell.

Then, comes the woman, who against all odds, got her healing. We must never allow stereotypes and stigmatisation ruin our quest for wholeness. While at it, own your processes and celebrate your milestones! Seize the most of your opportunities but don't let nothing hold you back! Wholeness comes with a level of confidence and clear perspective. Watch how she comes forward to Jesus and tells her story with confident clarity, without allowing religious rules cloud her reality. Her evidence was enough to disarm anything to dull her story.

Topic: BLEEDING WOUNDS BECOME VICTORY SCARS (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing" - John 20:27 KJV

Bible Text: Mark 5:25-26, 29 KJV

‭‭‭‭‭25. And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, [26] and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered,...[29] And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up;

INSPIRATION: Sometimes, there're people who feel uncomfortable around you when you bleed, and yet others who feel greatly disgusted about your scars. Whether you bleed or have scars, the natural disposition should be empathy and not apathy or a high sense of contempt towards hurting people. But when Thomas and key actors around this woman refused to show empathy, both Jesus and the woman held on to their respective stories and showed their victory. Hallelujah!

First, Jesus says to Thomas, come and see and feel it. By that, He was saying, I'm no longer where I used to be, neither am I where you left me at. It's interesting how people expect to still meet you where they left you in pain, broken and rejected. No! Your path is a shining light (Prov. 4: 18). You're progressive and dynamic, evolving through the roughest or darkest patch life deals you. Jesus went through his ordeal but came up with his victory scars that silenced the doubting Thomas! His scars had an incontrovertible story to tell.

Then, comes the woman, who against all odds, got her healing. We must never allow stereotypes and stigmatisation ruin our quest for wholeness. While at it, own your processes and celebrate your milestones! Seize the most of your opportunities but don't let nothing hold you back! Wholeness comes with a level of confidence and clear perspective. Watch how she comes forward to Jesus and tells her story with confident clarity, without allowing religious rules cloud her reality. Her evidence was enough to disarm anything to dull her story.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Never ever apologise to anyone about your healing or allow anyone undermine your recovery process. Wear your scars with dignity because no one knows what you've survived.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, I receive my healing and total recovery from everything that has caused me pain and made me bleed in the past. I'm in my new season, old things are passed away and so is every of my pain. I own my scars with pride and love my journey, in Jesus name, Amen.]]>801falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/i-m-no-longer-bleeding--69267905 With Emmanuel Afiawari

INSPIRATION: Sometimes, when someone is hurting, they bleed. Some bleeding may be external while others could be internal. The external may be easily noticed and stopped but not so with internal wounds. Thus, many victims of internal bleeding have bled to their untimely and avoidable deaths. A lot of people have come through very devastating experiences that have left them bleeding for years without end. Like the woman with the Issue of blood, nothing they did ever changed or helped their situation get better.

At other times, people get more concerned about your bleeding than they do care about your healing. In that imbalance of affection, they leave you in a state of secondary wounding by always reminding you of your wounds and gossipping about it to others but never showing up for you. That was the state the woman with the Issue of blood found herself, and that was where Thomas expected to find Jesus in. But like Paul echoes, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Corin 5:17).
You're no longer bleeding! That ended with last year. You can't be hurting no more, all that is in the past now with the last sad experience. Thomas came to see the fresh wounds, but Jesus showed him his scars. Your scars are your victory badge; a great testament to what you overcame, all you came through. Jesus's scars silenced Thomas same way the dried fountain of blood silenced the religious traditionalists in that woman's story. You're in your new season where you're no longer bleeding. Therefore, show the world yours scars with absolute, indefatigable pride. You've won!!

Topic: THE RAIN OF GOD'S BLESSINGS: DELIVERANCE FROM IGNORANCE (Part 7)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it" - Proverbs‬ ‭10:22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Bible Text: Joel‬ ‭2:32 NKJV‬‬

32. ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭And it shall come to pass that  whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, as the Lord has said, among the remnant whom the Lord calls.

INSPIRATION: Have you ever heard or read the saying, "When I count my blessings, I count you twice?" Look at Joel 2: 28 again, you'd see a double portion blessing: salvation and deliverance. Permit me to focus today's blessing on the latter alone. "For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, as the Lord has said..." The deliverance is not something imaginary; it is as the Lord has said!

Dare to believe it when God said it. But in case you still want to doubt, He has magnified His word above His name (Psa.138:2), to show the premium God attaches to His word. Deliverance is not that manifestation and falling down we've come to associate it with. It is rather coming to the accurate knowledge of the truth (John 8:32; Prov. 11:9b).

If you fall under the anointing during a 'deliverance' session and rise up thereafter still ignorant, you wasted your fall. Hence, God says, "The lawful captive shall be delivered and the prey of the terrible one set free (Isa. 49: 24-25). How? Through exposure to the truth! Many of us have believed in a lie for far too long, and have enslaved ourselves to these lies. This, God intends to end by blessing you with deliverance from ignorance this new year.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

How does it make you feel to think that God doesn't want you to stay in bondage? The blessings that come with deliverance gives you freedom to operate in dimensions that you once had limitations to.

Topic: THE RAIN OF GOD'S BLESSINGS ON THE FAMILY (Part 6)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it" - Proverbs‬ ‭10:22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Bible Text: Joel‬ ‭2:28 ‭NKJV‬‬

28. ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions.

INSPIRATION: Today, we shall attempt to conceptualise Joel 2: 28 around some other themes different from what has always been said about it. Up until now, you may have only associated that Verse with God's promise of the Holy Spirit, which is great, but a closer look at it shows God's blessings on family units - your sons, daughters, old men and young me; all flesh! Every category mentioned falls within a family unit, and it's actually great to see God promise to visit families in this manner.

An outpouring of God's Spirit upon every family member is a blessing that shouldn't be taken for granted. God doesn't waste His investments. So to release so much on a family, that must mean something big. To prophesy, dream dreams, and see visions, are blessing that doesn't come on everyone. Not everyone is called into these offices, therefore, to trivialise them is to be grossly ignorant of what God's blessing really is.

Put aside that fact that there are quacks and charlatans everywhere, but where counterfeit exists, know that there're originals. Therefore, carry yourself and your family as God's elect vessels filled with the Holy Spirit as a seal for a special purpose. That's a blessing! You carry the originality of all this verse refers to. An original stands out amongst substandard competitors; its quality and value are never compromised. Anyone who knows the value of an original product would place a premium on it. God has placed a premium on you, do not sell yourself cheap!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

The outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the calling to offices makes the blessings all the more meaningful. It takes a deeper spiritual understanding to discern how blessed you are with these.

Bible Text: Joel‬ ‭2:27 ‭NKJV‬‬

27. ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Then you shall know that I am  in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame.

INSPIRATION: There're some privileges we take for granted as humans until they're withdrawn. Every now and again, we see rich kids suddenly realise the importance of the privileges they enjoy once they're denied of it. Privileges and blessings are alike in many cases. One such underrated blessing, is God's presence. God is everywhere, no doubt, but not everyone carries His presence. Here in Joel 2, we see God telling His people things He'd do that points that He's in their midst.

Carrying God's presence becomes so meaningful when you understand the advantages you have with Him. "‭‭You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore" (Psa ‭16:11‬). The path of life is only known in His presence, followed by fullness of joy and everlasting pleasure. Carrying God's presence is symbolic of His endorsement. When God endorses you, He recommends you and doors open to you (Psa. 44: 3).

His presence gives you easy access; makes mountains skip, and seas flee (Psa. 114: 3-7). His presence disarms the enemies and catches the crafty in his craftiness and sweeps away the plans of the cunning (Job 5: 13). You can't separate His presence from His glory. In other words, if you carry His presence, you carry His glory. God's glory comprises everything that God is. Tell me then how one feels he's not blessed when He carries the presence of the Lord?

There're two things that shouldn't be part of the things you lack, if you must lack anything. They are the presence of God, and anointing of the Lord. By the way, you can't carry one and the other will be absent. No!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it" - Proverbs‬ ‭10:22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Bible Text: Joel‬ ‭2:25 ‭NKJV‬‬

25. ‭‭‭‭So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you.

INSPIRATION: Restoration has become an overused word in Christian parlance and in Christian circles that it has almost lost its original meaning, so much so that it now only refers to gaining back what one lost. Whilst that sounds good, God's idea of restoration is to collapse time for you so you can aggregate and appropriate all that you could have had in one breath if nothing had gone wrong.

God takes you back in time to where you fell or lost out and looks ahead to what you would have been but for your setbacks, and releases grace and speed unto you to amass all in one fell swoop. Restoration is one of the ways by which God blesses His people. He brings it when they think all hope is lost. To restore, is to cancel the evidences of your past, giving you a clean slate.

The Psalmist said it felt like a dream when God turned again the captivity of zion (Psa. 126). Your miraculous turnaround will even be more dramatic. You'd surpass the heights you'd have attained before life happened. God will lift you up by His mighty right arm and place you where you belong. He will cause life to ease off for you and crown you with beauty, splendor and honour. You'll sing a new song soon.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Restoration separates you from your past and brings you into your future. Discern the moment and aligning with God's timed agenda will serve your best interests. Everything you ever lost will be gained back.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Your word declares there's time for every purpose under heaven. Now is my time of restoration and I'm in alignment with You to bring about my miraculous turnaround. May You move unhindered and be glorified, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/69219816Sat, 27 Dec 2025 14:58:27 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Sunday, December 28, 2025 Topic: THE RAIN OF GOD'S BLESSINGS: RESTORATION & TURNAROUNDS (Part 3)!

Topic: THE RAIN OF GOD'S BLESSINGS: RESTORATION & TURNAROUNDS (Part 3)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it" - Proverbs‬ ‭10:22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Bible Text: Joel‬ ‭2:25 ‭NKJV‬‬

25. ‭‭‭‭So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you.

INSPIRATION: Restoration has become an overused word in Christian parlance and in Christian circles that it has almost lost its original meaning, so much so that it now only refers to gaining back what one lost. Whilst that sounds good, God's idea of restoration is to collapse time for you so you can aggregate and appropriate all that you could have had in one breath if nothing had gone wrong.

God takes you back in time to where you fell or lost out and looks ahead to what you would have been but for your setbacks, and releases grace and speed unto you to amass all in one fell swoop. Restoration is one of the ways by which God blesses His people. He brings it when they think all hope is lost. To restore, is to cancel the evidences of your past, giving you a clean slate.

24. ‭‭The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.

INSPIRATION: Yesterday, we established that God's blessings enriches, and zeroed our discussion on His double portion blessings where, He gives the former and latter rain in the same season. Today, we shall look at financial abundance. When your threshing floor is full of wheat, it speaks to a great harvest. You're stepping into a season of uncommon harvests where your results would by far outweigh and outshine your imput.

You may have witnessed a season of devastating dryness and destruction but its the dawn of abundance for you, says the Lord. Now, do not think your great harvest is only for you to eat and be satisfied (Joel 2: 26), it is for your to embark on trades and increase your streams of income creating abilities.

God is not about to restrict you to only what you're familiar with; He's about to do free publicity for you to attract the right patronage to your investment initiatives. Your vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. You are not going to drink all that factory of wine or anoint yourself with the overflowing oil, are you? God is specific, therefore, you shouldn't be speculative. Financial abundance is about to hit you like a thunderbolt.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

God cannot trigger a harvest and you'll not align with it. That would be walking contrary to the sequence and swimming against the tide. The consequences are beyond imagination. So don't even dare.

Bible Text: Joel‬ ‭2:23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

23. Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to come down for you— The former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.

INSPIRATION: God's blessings transcends the boundaries of physical material possession. It is a consciousness; a knowledge deep within your spirit that stems from your personal relationship with God. Proverb tells us that God’s blessings enriches without adding sorrow to it. It follows therefrom that anything that enriches you is qualified to be termed a blessing.

In the next couple of days, we shall look at some ways God desires to enrich you with His blessings, starting with the blessings of a double portion. Firstly, scriptures tell us, "‭‭Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, and instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be theirs" (Isa. ‭61:7‬). Then Joel tells us, "God will cause the former and latter rain to come down for you" (Joel 2:23).

There's a reservoir of former and latter blessings that God is set to release upon you. You may want to ask when? Now! Right now. This is the set time; the divinely appointed time. You'll experience a shift and the heavens will be torn open over you. Everything you've experienced and witnessed was a build up to what's about to be unveiled. There's a transformation that's about to happen that would dwarf and wipe out all the failures and pains you ever had to deal with. It's the blessing!

Topic: HAVE CHRIST IN YOUR CHRISTMAS!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins" - Matthew‬ ‭1:21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Bible Text: Romans‬ ‭5:8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

8. ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

INSPIRATION: Christmas has become many things to many people - a holiday, a travel time, a get-together time, a time to share love and beautiful memories, a time to give gifts, etc. Good as these may be, they still fall short of what the season is about. Thus, so many people would have Christmas without the Christ! Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus, God's beloved Son, whose mission on earth was to save us from sin and reconcile us back to God.

Christmas is a revelation of Jesus, and a celebration of God's perfect redemption for humanity. Anything short of this, is a party without eternal values. The season should make you reflect on whom Jesus is, and your personal relationship with Him. Has His mission been accomplished in your life yet? Do you know the love of God and does your knowledge drive you to seek him some more?

The God that saves you from sin will do much more for you and with you when you know Him on a more intimate personal basis. This has nothing to do with the church you attend and the role you play there. Do you know Jesus, does He live in your heart? Apostle Paul, with all he knew, still longed to know Him more (Phi. 3:8-10).

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Christmas tells a beautiful story that gives meaning to the meaningless life sin plunged us into. It is God's incarnation for your ultimate redemption. Therefore, be ye reconciled to God in every sense of it.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank You for coming to save me. I embrace Your love and salvation and walk in the revelation of whom I've become in You. I'm a child of God with a promise, and it's You who made sure of this.

INSPIRATION: The world today has become so chaotic and toxic that many people are now so conflicted; conflicted in thought, choices and actions. The resultant effect is real peace that bring  absolute joy has become so elusive. But not to despair, the Prince of Peace is born that you might have peace and have it in abundance.

Many think their money can buy peace or their relationship can foster peace but events have proven over and again that the more the world and governmental systems chase after peace, the greater the conflict it encounters. So, is the hope for lasting peace completely lost? Never! Jesus, the Prince of Peace says, "‭‭Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John‬ ‭14:27‬).

Clearly put, real peace is external to your indulgences, be it in an accomplished goal like getting a degree, a dream come true job, thriving relationship or business, Jesus says, "‭‭Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you." If the world could give peace, He wouldn't need to give His. His government of peace dwarfs and makes rubbish of the peace united nations treaties can afford.

God will guide you through very sure and steady paths; He'll help you navigate difficult choices and lead you where you should go. Incline your ears and get divine direction always. Often, we tend to think we know the terrain and have mastery of the art of businesses we do, but at certain times, you'll feel the need for a stronger and higher presence to guide you. That higher presence is none other than Jesus.

INSPIRATION: Yesterday, we noted that the government upon Christ's shoulders speak to His Lordship, and the responsibility and power that follows Him as against the irresponsible leadership the world portrays today. It takes One that has genuine authority and power to be Wonderful. To be termed wonderful, it has to be extraordinarily good or great, implying excellence, amazement, astonishment, incredibility, marvelousness, etc.

Anyone who encounter Christ, undoubtedly encounters His surpassing wonders that are without numbers (Job 9: 10). That's governance at a whole new level. I may not know how your year has been or what you went through to come into these last few days, but I'm sent to announce to you that you're about to see the wonders of God. God will perform miracles and display His power in your life (Ps. 77: 14).

The heavens will keep telling the wonders of God, and the skies will keep declaring what he has done in your life. Each day informs the following day; each night announces to the next. They don't speak a word, and there is never the sound of a voice. Yet their message reaches all the earth, and it travels around the world" (Ps ‭19:1‭-‬4‬).

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel" - Isaiah‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Bible Text: Isaiah‬ ‭9:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

6. ‭‭For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

INSPIRATION: Yesterday, we noted that the government upon Christ's shoulders speak to His Lordship, and the responsibility and power that follows Him as against the irresponsible leadership the world portrays today. It takes One that has genuine authority and power to be Wonderful. To be termed wonderful, it has to be extraordinarily good or great, implying excellence, amazement, astonishment, incredibility, marvelousness, etc.

Anyone who encounter Christ, undoubtedly encounters His surpassing wonders that are without numbers (Job 9: 10). That's governance at a whole new level. I may not know how your year has been or what you went through to come into these last few days, but I'm sent to announce to you that you're about to see the wonders of God. God will perform miracles and display His power in your life (Ps. 77: 14).

The heavens will keep telling the wonders of God, and the skies will keep declaring what he has done in your life. Each day informs the following day; each night announces to the next. They don't speak a word, and there is never the sound of a voice. Yet their message reaches all the earth, and it travels around the world" (Ps ‭19:1‭-‬4‬). God is about to showcase His wonders through you. Hallelujah to His name!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

God is never weary of doing wonders in the midst of His people because there's nothing too hard for Him to do. Watch out!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please uphold the integrity of Your word and perform your surpassing wonders in my life this season, in Jesus name.]]>702falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/a-new-kind-of-governance-disruptive-leadership--69148616 With Emmanuel Afiawari

6. ‭‭For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

INSPIRATION: Everything about Jesus was phenomena, from His conception to birth,  and then lifestyle. His, was a disruptive mission to change existing patterns, norms and traditions. Jesus says of Himself, "‭‭For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law" (Matt. ‭10:35‬). Nothing about Him, not even His teachings, followed the norm.

Being different stands you out. Conformity dwarfs the uniqueness that your difference could have made. Dare to be different. Isaiah tells us, "...and the government shall be upon his shoulder," affirming His Lordship and a future time when He will reign over a literal, earthly, geopolitical kingdom that encompasses all the kingdoms and governments of the world (Dan. 2:44; Zech. 14:9). The phrase also bears responsibility and power.

When you compare Jesus's leadership style with our contemporary leaders, you'd see the huge difference in their responsibility matrix. A leader who is not responsible and responsive is unfit to be called one. Jesus came to model a new kind of leadership responsibility and accountability that we must adapt if we seek to stand out.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Following Christ affects all aspects of our lives. We must 'drink' in the Spirit of the life He modelled and pattern ours after His in all ramifications.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to follow after the patterns and models that typified the life of Christ, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/69148616Sat, 20 Dec 2025 17:06:14 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Sunday, December 21, 2025 Topic: A NEW KIND OF GOVERNANCE!

Topic: CREATE WITH YOUR NEW SEASONS!

Memory Verse: "‭‭Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place" - Job 38:12 KJV

Bible Text: Genesis 1: 1 KJV

1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

INSPIRATION: The law of first mention establishes that the first time a word or phrase appears in Scripture is important. The first mention often establishes a precedent, pattern, or biblical concept that occurs throughout the rest of the Bible. Drawing a cue from this, we seek to look at what God did in the beginning and what is expected of us subsequently. Scriptures point us to the creation story and suggests that God created the heaven and the earth in the beginning. It gives us an idea what we ought to be doing whenever new beginnings or new seasons set in on us: create!

Make no mistakes about this, not all new seasons come with ease and fanfare; some come with pain, disaster and destabilisation. They throw you off balance and establish a new order for you. God doesn't teach you to resign to fate and do nothing about it. On the contrary, He expects you to create new experiences with it. In this wise, the stones thrown at you becomes your foundational building stones. He expects you to convert your lemons into lemonade. Job asks, 'Have you commanded your morning and caused your new day to know its place?" If you haven't, here's a reminder - transition into something new and glorious!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭Pain, losses, unpleasant outcomes, like every other emotion, is not permanent. Do not accord a permanent residence status to a walk through visitor. Create a new and empowering experience from your new season, whether it started pleasantly or not.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, I receive grace to reorder my priorities, create new uplifting experiences from my pitfalls and setbacks. I refuse to stay knocked down or empower pain to reign in my parade. I'm a creator and my end is glorious, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/69148606Sat, 20 Dec 2025 17:03:34 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Thursday, November 20,  2025 Topic: CREATE WITH YOUR NEW SEASONS!

Topic: THE POWER OF ACCESS (Part 4)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" - John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Bible Text: Isaiah‬ ‭43:19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

19. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

INSPIRATION: As we take on another instalment in this series, it is important to stress the point that an open door is bigger and more beneficial than money. Money may have its limitations but an access is limitless. Many people who chose the seemingly immediate advantage of cash inflow over an access lived to regret their choices. They only asked for fish to eat rather than ask how to catch a fish.

Choosing the advantage of money over acces is like choosing a set of harvested crops during famine over an entire farm when you could own large acres of cultivated farms. If it were possible to weigh money and access on a scale, you'd realise there's no basis for comparison. It is like comparing sand to gold, where sand is money and gold is access. That was how Lot chose wrongly and almost got ruined (Gen. 13: 10 - 11).

To base your decisions on the promptings of your five senses only, is a sure recipe for disaster. You'll only be shortchanging yourself. Access will give you ladders and bridges to leverage on. It connects you to multiple levels of operational opportunities and multidimensional interconnectivity that leaves you with many options to choose from.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Place premium value on access if you want to go farther in life. Don't be blinded by your quest to make it soonest that it forces you to despise the unlimited treasures you could find in an access.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please give me the presence of mind and right attitude to appreciate and leverage on each divine access You bring me into. Help me not to despise or disdain my opportunities, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/69134055Fri, 19 Dec 2025 15:26:26 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Saturday, December 20, 2025 Topic: THE POWER OF ACCESS (Part 4)!

19. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

INSPIRATION: An access could be a small, seemingly insignificant doorway but it opens you up to a vast array of different opportunities. If you despise the seemingly insignificant small opening, you'll shut the door to the glories that await you in the future. Small beginnings doesn't always imply small destinies. Some are litmus tests to prove you. God would never commit great enterprises to untested and unproven people.

Cultivate every access you have, whether in human form or in opportunities. Water and service your accesses so they can bloom and blossom into something great. If you do not appreciate the gifts of men, the graces they bear may never work to advance your cause. Virtue flows only in the direction of value. If your value rating for your access is poor, the opportunities from them that ought to benefit you might appear like a burden.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Shallow minded people think only of the immediate and so, may despise access, especially, if it doesn't appear so promising. That's how people trade off their destinies for peripheral gains.

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" - John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Bible Text: Isaiah‬ ‭43:19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

19. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

INSPIRATION: Whenever you gain access, especially, to someone noble and way above your means, these two questions should be at the forefront of your mind: firstly, to what purpose? And secondly, what's my assignment with this person or opportunity? Until you get clarity about these, you must approach with caution before you ruin a divine moment. Purpose supercedes all things. Purpose determines access and exposes you to God's intent.

Doors do not just open, they open so that purposes can be established. Where purpose is unknown, you can't be too sure not to scuttle the plan or misbehave before greatness. The second question is, what is my mission or assignment for this open door? Every purpose is accompanied by an assignment. We should be more particular about discharging our assignments than in anything else. Else, we would have wasted golden opportunities.

Divine resources flow towards those who embark on the mission to fulfilling their assignments. God deploys resources for the assignment so He can get the glory out of your obedient action. It is therefore a misplacement of priorities if your intent for gaining access is different from any of the aforementioned. Therefore, when next you gain access, allow these two questions to be probing at your heart before you act.

Purpose is at the heartbeat of God when He gives us access. The pursuit of your assignment is the vehicle by which purpose is actualised. You cannot separate one from the other or reorder its sequence.

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" - John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Bible Text: Isaiah‬ ‭43:19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

19. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

INSPIRATION: One of the greatest, yet most unfortunate misconceptions about access, is the desire to equate it with instant gratification or financial gains. Access basically expands your horizon and broadens your chances to leverage on the strengths, connections and power of those who gave you the access. Access opens you up to a new experience in learning to be better. But if you put self gratification and financial gains ahead of the several other opportunities, then, you're unwise.

Access may appear small, but it opens into a vast array of different options to leverage on that you could never have thought possible. What you gain with access far exceeds any amount of money you may want to place in comparison. If you're patient enough to walk the process, you'll still arrive at the financial gains but, you'll do so with the bigger picture in view. The bigger picture is the reason for access.

Short sightedness robs people of this and force them to focus on the immediate. The bigger picture can never be arrived at by your permutations. It is a destination that one arrives at through a process whose duration isn't always yours to determine. But the sure thing is, this destination only opens up through the access providence brings your way.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

A fool and undiscerning person despises access because he thinks he's had enough doors. Access has been defined as a way or means of approaching or entering; an entrance; a passage. It is the right or ability of approaching, entering or admittance into something. Therefore, value your access.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to rightly discern and maximise the gifts of access. Give me wisdom and clarity to know how to apply myself in peculiar situations so that I do not become an hindrance to your purposes for my life, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/69079730Tue, 16 Dec 2025 15:47:40 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Wednesday, December 17, 2025 Topic: THE POWER OF ACCESS!

19. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

INSPIRATION: One of the greatest, yet most unfortunate misconceptions about access, is the desire to equate it with instant gratification or financial gains. Access basically expands your horizon and broadens your chances to leverage on the strengths, connections and power of those who gave you the access. Access opens you up to a new experience in learning to be better. But if you put self gratification and financial gains ahead of the several other opportunities, then, you're unwise.

Access may appear small, but it opens into a vast array of different options to leverage on that you could never have thought possible. What you gain with access far exceeds any amount of money you may want to place in comparison. If you're patient enough to walk the process, you'll still arrive at the financial gains but, you'll do so with the bigger picture in view. The bigger picture is the reason for access.

Short sightedness robs people of this and force them to focus on the immediate. The bigger picture can never be arrived at by your permutations. It is a destination that one arrives at through a process whose duration isn't always yours to determine. But the sure thing is, this destination only opens up through the access providence brings your way.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

A fool and undiscerning person despises access because he thinks he's had enough doors. Access has been defined as a way or means of approaching or entering; an entrance; a passage. It is the right or ability of approaching, entering or admittance into something. Therefore, value your access.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to rightly discern and maximise the gifts of access. Give me wisdom and clarity to know how to apply myself in peculiar situations so that I do not become an hindrance to your purposes for my life, in Jesus name.]]>702falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/it-s-your-set-time-for-divine-favour-part-5--69058757 With Emmanuel Afiawari

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: For the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come" - Psalm‬ ‭102:13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Bible Text: Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

1. ‭‭To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

INSPIRATION: I thought the rendition of Psalm 126: 1 was profound: "‭‭When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, We were like them that dream." It's time for you to experience turnarounds that would make you think you're dreaming. It's time to see dreams come true, and you living in the reality of many of your fantasies. It's time to rise to a new level of empowering ways of dealing with issues.

God has arisen in His mercy and activated graces on your behalf to bring you into the fullness of all He has ordained for you and apportioned to your lot. Your end will be so glorious, it'd have swallowed up all your past disgraces. That's why Ecclesiastes 3: 1 tells us, "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." You've entered into that season of your life where the old order of negative occurences has ceased.

You may have become so accustomed to such ways and may look forward to signs that trigger or signal its reoccurrence, but you'd find none. Everything is changing at the instance of God. You're stepping out in power and glory, and the new you will have no semblance of your past experiences. It's time because God had it purposed and well planned out.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭I don't know how but someone will end this year debt-free and would experience many more surprises. It's your time! Brace up!!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank You for turning my story around. I take You at Your word and believe it's my time to see You work wonders on my behalf.

Memory Verse: ‭‭"Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, ..." - "‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭2:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Bible Text: Proverbs‬ ‭28:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

1. The wicked flee when no man pursueth: But the righteous are bold as a lion.

INSPIRATION: The mindset controls everything, not empty affirmations. One can be affirmative, yet possess a mindset that is opposed to what they say. The greatest victories or defeats first occur in the mind. The biggest battles and toughest struggles take place in the mind. People who lose their grip of tenacity to life first lose it in their minds. Once the mind caves in, everything else crumbles.

That's why Proverbs counsels us to guard our hearts with all diligence (Prov. 4: 23). To guard implies to mount a vigilance watch. You don't want to allow anything mess with your mind! The winning mindset may know all the odds piled up against it, but still have that uncanny inner fortitude that it would win regardless.

The winning mindset never gives defeat a thought. It is willing to take its chances even with the tiniest glimpse of hope, it's determined to beat the odds. In fact, the odds fuel their passion to conquer and dismantle mountains. "And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: ..." (2 Sam. 23:16‬). ‭

Lions don't contemplate defeat; a champion's instinct resides within them and it makes them think only on strategy for conquest.

It was Paulo Coelho, who said, “You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.” Taking calculated risks comes with a mindset. Those who win in the game of life are perpetual risk takers. They're explorative adventurers, who do not fear risk. All exploration, all growth is calculated. Without challenge people cannot reach their highest selves. Only if we are willing to walk over the edge can we become winners.

Topic: DON'T ROB GOD OF HIS GLORY (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be ..." - Acts‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Bible Text: Luke‬ ‭17:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

14. ‭‭‭And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

INSPIRATION: There's an action that sets in motion the miraculous. Your action it is. God is a constant, you and your actions are the variables. Once the variable is missing, the equilibrium can't be found and the equation can't become balanced. Your refusal or inability to take that appropriate line of action of obedience through faith robs God of the glory that should be ascribed to Him.

Luke records, "Jesus says to them, 'Go show yourselves unto the priests.'" That' was the instruction but their actions birthed the miracle: "And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed" (Luke 17: 14). This miracle might never have happened had they not obeyed. Obedience triggers miracles, and miracles bring glory to God. Acts 1: 8 says, "You shall receive the power of the Holy Spirit, and you shall 'BE.' The "Be" is an active verb that connotes action.

There's an action that's required of us at every given point of our lives. To 'Be,' is an active verb that requires some level of corresponding action. This is what stirs the atmosphere for your miracle. This is what activates the power you've received. Therefore, take that bold step of faith, exert yourself in action. Until the four friends of the paralytic removed a roof to let him into Jesus's presence, his sickness stayed with him.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭Unless you act, you'll get nothing. Any action that is devoid of obedience in faith will not produce results. It is that action that is anchored on faith and obedience that pleases and brings glory to God.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please, help me to act in faith and obedience, and cause miracles to take place each time I do.

INSPIRATION: In a world that is in dire needs of miracles, we must align with the Holy Spirit to ensure we becoming working miracles that bring relief to people. Sadly, many persons have erroneously believed miracles happen by their own efforts and that praises for all such miraculous acts should come to them. There's nothing farther from the truth than this. Miracles are divine acts of God to mankind so that the glory should return to Him.

We should stop feeling entitled and claiming the responsibility of healing that was never ours. You were only His channel but the miracle was His own acts! In Luke's account, Jesus simply told the men who sought healing from Him to go show themselves to the priest. In the cause of their simple obedience, their  healing occurred. They didn't need to get to the priest for it to happen; they already met the High Priest, that is, Jesus. Miracles occur when we encounter Jesus.

Anything is possible when we obey and express our faith in God. The opposite is true, too, when we disobey and show no faith in God.

8. ‭‭The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

INSPIRATION: One way to be a difference maker or to show up differently is to know all the rules but be ready and determined to break some, and set in place a new record and standards! Creatively spice up your life with deliberate efforts. When Jesus was on earth, He kept shattering existing records, hence the constant debate with the keepers of the law. He'd heal on a sabbath, eat with unwashed hands, party with sinners, taught with authority, and the likes, that His actions marvelled His generation, who merely knew Him as the Carpenter's son.

Do you see how so condescending they tried to regard Him? Yet, He was always ahead with superior actions, reason and results. Then came the day they came for His arrest but couldn't recognise Him until He said, "I am He (John 18: 8). He showed up always beyond the general notion of His identity as a mere carpenter. You're much more than any identity, description or notion anyone would ever have of you. Be ever ready to beat them to their game.

When Peter would cut off the ear of a soldier, Jesus fixed it like it never was cut off, thereby wiping out the evidence against Peter. On the cross, one would expect Him to exert His authority but His strength was up under control. He would pray God to forgive them. What a man with a difference! How do you react under intense unwarranted provocation? Jesus shows us a different kind of response. He was different in every way. Hallelujah!

Jesus says to you, "...He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do..." (John 14:12). What does greater works constitute to you  in relation to what Jesus did? Have you begun doing your own greater works yet?

Topic: AMBASSADORIAL MANDATE (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: "‭Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, ..." - 2 Corinthians 5:20 KJV

Bible Text: Matthew 6:10 KJV

10. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

INSPIRATION: John 5:19 offers us our take off point in today's devotional: "Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise." As an ambassador of God's kingdom, your job description and work ethics is centered around whatever you see the Father do.

Jesus mirrors this example for us to follow in discharging our functions. Except you follow this template, you cannot fully claim to be representing the interest of God's kingdom. John records, "But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work" (John 5:17). Your ambassadorial mandate requires you to fall in line and do whatever you see the Father do. That's the template of the kingdom. No gimmicks, no playing smart.

Anything aside the laid down template would be a misrepresentation and miscarriage of your mandate. This explains why many people start well but soon fall by the way side by doing things they didn't see God do. God's mandate is tied to certain standards that your level of innovative sophistication cannot and must not change, else it ceases to be the kingdom's mandate.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭Enforcing the will of God's kingdom follows a divine pattern, which is to act as you see God act. He gives the assignment and defines the parameters of operation. Be sensitive to this and save yourself from undue pressure.

Memory Verse: "‭Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, ..." - 2 Corinthians 5:20 KJV

Bible Text: Matthew 6:10 KJV

10. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

INSPIRATION: An ambassador is a diplomat of the highest rank who is accredited to represent his or her country internationally. He has the full authority and backing of the home country he is representing in a foreign land. The powers he has in a foreign land are executive, like the powers of the president of the country he represents. When he speaks, it is as if his nation's president is the one speaking.

Paul calls us Christ's ambassadors, that is, we represent Christ here on earth. What this implies is, as Christ is, so are we in this world (1 John 4: 17). Why are we Christ's ambassadors? So we can enforce His kingdom and determine that His will prevails on earth, Matthew tells us (Matt. 6:10). Two key traits you're to exhibit as Christ's ambassadors are love (1 John 4: 7-8), and light (Matthew 5: 14-16)

The embassy within which an ambassador operates is the seat of power, and the laws prevalent at that embassy are those of the home base, and not those of the country it is domiciled. This means you're to enforce the rules of heaven where you are. Your domain is Christ's embassy and you're His ambassadorial representative with a mandate to bring about the operations of the kingdom of God until the kingdoms of this world become the kingdom of our God and His Christ (Rev. 11: 15).

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭Life will always challenge you at the level of your knowledge or ignorance. Knowing this, you must be sensitive to the inner operations of the Holy Spirit, so you can at all times superimpose and enforce the will of God's kingdom on earthly experiences.

Topic: MAKE THE MEN SIT DOWN (Part 4)!

Memory Verse: "‭Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you" - 1 Peter 5:7 KJV.

Bible Text: John 6:10 KJV

10. And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

INSPIRATION: Having cares is one thing, knowing what to do with them or how to handle your cares is an entirely different thing. Many are so engrossed in their cares that life seem to have left them behind. They may have mega activities that colour or becloud their understanding, yet fail to realise that activities are not same as commanding results. To all such persons labouring under the weight of burdens they bear, Peter says, "Cast all your care upon him; for he cares for you." Jesus genuinely cares for you.

Matthew gives a slightly different but very profound approach from Peter's. He says, "Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly" (Matthew 11:28-30 MSG).

Jesus is not like today's social media enthusiasts who would prefer to broadcast your plight to actual show of genuine care. No, He's not! Wherever life seem to have beaten you into submission, or you appear to have exchanged your noble dreams for Satan's yoke, I make bold to say, "Cast your burdens upon Him, He cares for you." He will not mock, disparage or deny you. He will not turn His back at you and watch you crumble under the weight you bear. He's our burden bearer and yoke destroyer. Your singular responsibility is to cast your cares on Him. So it would be wrong to want to carry burdens you've been charged to cast on Him.

10. And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

INSPIRATION: Jesus says, "Make the men sit down." By this singular statement, He sought to remind men of their position of authority with him, for which Paul reminds us, "And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus" (Eph. 2:6). When you understand your positioning, to exercise authority becomes effectively easy.

Ignorance to your authority mandate robs you of the glories associated with the use of the authority backing your mandate. Sitting with him exposes you to deep truths. In another breath, asking them to sit down was to make them comfortable to receive instructions that matter to their destinies. Luke 10: 39, 42 points us to Jesus's commendation of Mary for sitting at His feet to receive instructions rather than being bothered about many unnecessary things.

Until you sit at the right place, you just might get busy with things that could derail your focus. Jesus tells Martha, "One thing is needful...," and obviously, it wasn't part of the choices of the standing men. Any time we see the sitting Jesus, He does so with all the authority of heaven to change lives like He did with the Samaria woman at the well (John 4: 6, 28-30).

Bible Text: John 6:10 KJV

10. And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

INSPIRATION: Jesus's instructions to make the men sit down resonates with our reality today. Many of us are just about everywhere and never sitting down. A few things happen when you sit down. Firstly, it helps you generate productive energy that births new life. Take a local hen for instance. Unless it focuses all her energy and attention in sitting on her eggs, the energy needed to incubate and hatch them into new chickens is never released. When the hen has divided attention, it leaves more eggs wasted than hatched.

Secondly, to sit is to brood or move over a thing like the Holy Spirit did at creation to birth a glorious world (Gen. 1: 2). Many of us would rather be moody than brood over a matter. So many people lack the capacity for deep thinking that births solutions. The lack of brooding abilities leave many with cognitive deficiency because the subject under review was never considered in a holistic way. Brooding broadens on views on pertinent issues.

Thirdly, to sit, it is to be in meditative mood, where focused thinking occurs so one can arrive at solutions that are well thought through. Many of us are too busy or lazy to meditate, but that's one of God's prescription for a good success (Josh 1:8). We would rather worry than meditate, without realising no amount of worries can add a cubit to our heights (Matt. 6:27). Hence, Peter's advice, "Cast all your care upon him; for he cares for you" (1 Pet 5:7), is very appropriate.

10. And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

INSPIRATION: The world's programming has conditioned men to always be on the move, become anxious while jostling for the opportunities to satisfy their needs. This insatiable quest has not only left men battered, broken and disoriented, it has made many of them to be restless with pressure. Whether we like to admit it or not, everyone faces some form of pressure, although, some are so choked by it that they lack where to ventilate.

It is against this background that it makes sense to see men throng Jesus for bread. Yet, Jesus, in His characteristic unconventional way commands the men be made to sit down. It is instructive that we pay attention to this command! Being busy and about the place is not always synonymous with making progress; allowing yourself no rest is a quick recipe for breakdown and self-destruction. It is being a self-abortionist of your own 'pregnancy!'

To digress from this thought, notice how John points us to the presence of so much grass on which they sat on. That's green pastures, if you care to oblige me, that is what was required to nourish them.

Memory Verse: "‭‭The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him" -
Lamentations 3:24 KJV

Bible Text: Job 14:7 KJV

7. For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

INSPIRATION: Job wasn't just waxing motivational when he said, "For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again," he gave reason why this must occur: the introduction of the scent of water (Job 14:9). Motivation devoid of the scent of water is mere philosophy, and at best, enticing words of man's wisdom (1 Cor. 2: 3-5). Although, it may be soothing, yet, has its limitations. It is only the word of God that is limitless in form and boundless in nature. Nothing withstands the authority of God's word, and where appropriately applied, the results are sure to come.

Today, many people are dealing with many issues that drag at the fabrics of their hope and faith. Hope has been deferred for far too long that their hearts are now sick (Prov. 13:12). Can I challenge you to apply the word continuously to the situation until it prevails. Scriptures declare, "So mightily grew the word of God and it prevailed (Acts 19:20).

Topic: RENEWED HOPE (Part 3)!

Memory Verse: "‭‭The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him" -
Lamentations 3:24 KJV

Bible Text: Job 14:7 KJV

7. For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

INSPIRATION: Job wasn't just waxing motivational when he said, "For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again," he gave reason why this must occur: the introduction of the scent of water (Job 14:9). Motivation devoid of the scent of water is mere philosophy, and at best, enticing words of man's wisdom (1 Cor. 2: 3-5). Although, it may be soothing, yet, has its limitations. It is only the word of God that is limitless in form and boundless in nature. Nothing withstands the authority of God's word, and where appropriately applied, the results are sure to come.

Today, many people are dealing with many issues that drag at the fabrics of their hope and faith. Hope has been deferred for far too long that their hearts are now sick (Prov. 13:12). Can I challenge you to apply the word continuously to the situation until it prevails. Scriptures declare, "So mightily grew the word of God and it prevailed (Acts 19:20). The continuous application of the word to a lingering situation is the reinforcement of your faith; it is you holding on to your beliefs on God's word, knowing His word has been tried or tested by fire and found to be truly faithful (Psa 12: 6).

Lamentations 3:24 KJV

Bible Text: Job 14:7 KJV

7. For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

INSPIRATION: Oftentimes, our tendency is to think that once a tree had been cut down, it marks its end. Whilst many trees  have died following this process, several others have survived, budded and blossomed. It is this latter category that should concern you. Do not rule yourself out yet just because you hit a rough patch in life; do not think that blow life dealt you is fatal.

It ain't matter how long your stay in that terrible situation might have been, Job declares eloquently, "There's hope!" Hope for a bounce back; hope for a glorious ending; hope that keeps your dreams alive in spite of the enemy's worst assault on your person. Hope stirs up faith on your inside that defies logic. Hope acts like a catalyst and triggers positive reactions that won't take a no for an answer. Hope, like faith, would make you not to consider the deadness of your reality (Rom. 4: 19). Hope is stronger than your reality.

When hope is mixed with faith, nothing is impossible with you. Hope speaks the language of faith, contrary to the popular opinion of men. It builds confidence in you that all will be well again and that you'd spring up new leaves and branches (Job 14:7-9). Hope would always factor God into the equation of your life, knowing God cannot and will not fail. Therefore, it is easy and safer to hope on Him (Lam. 3:24).

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭Refuse to snooze on your hope. Resolve to put absolute confidence in God and stay positively hopeful in spite of your reality.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank You for being my portion as it is written; my confidence level in You rises to the point of believing. My hope in You and in the possibilities that abound for my taking is renewed daily, for I know You'd make all things good in Your time.

Memory Verse: "‭‭Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place" - Job 38:12 KJV

Bible Text: Genesis 1: 1 KJV

1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

INSPIRATION: Yesterday, we discussed the importance of delegated responsibility and how God was the first to so do. Delegation reduces the burden of work execution that a person should bear, and the time to accomplish same. Your ability to delegate responsibilities point to your level of security in your person, calling and abilities. Anywhere you find people having difficulty with delegating or being delegated to, insecurity is at the root of it.

On the flip side, when you're given roles to play, it is expected of you to be faithful in it: faithful to the trust reposed in you, and faithful in diligently carrying out the task. The expectation that you'd without fail excel in the task by showing a good proof of yourself is crucial. Roles delegated to you are opportunities to showcase your creativity and develop higher potentials.

It would be wrong of you to think too highly of yourself to perform certain tasks which you may consider to be beneath you. Life will never test you at your level. It would either test you at a higher one to know if you have the right skillset to deliver at that level, or something beneath you to test your humility. Either ways, faithfulness is expected of you.

Memory Verse: "‭‭Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place" - Job 38:12 KJV

Bible Text: Genesis 1: 1 KJV

1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

INSPIRATION: Whilst discussing creating with our new season, we cannot overlook or gloss over the fact that God delegated responsibility to man. He was safe and secure in Himself enough to assign man roles to play to further the creation story. Man named everything and whatever he called them became their name (Gen. 2:19-20). As if this wasn't enough, man was charged with the responsibility to govern the earth.

Delegation of responsibility is a leadership trait you must adopt to free up more time for you to concentrate on other ventures, even as it serves as a means to groom others. If God could delegate duties to Adam, why shouldn't you? Stop acting like it's only you who can carry out your roles so perfectly. Stop belittling the graces and potentials of others. You're not indispensable or irreplaceable!

There're people equally as smart, gifted, and enabled as you are. Delegating roles doesn't diminish your worth but builds a culture of mutual trust. It shields you from excess labour; it stimulates creativity and builds skills in those assigned; it helps you plan your schedule to create healthy work-life balance. If you have to be everywhere and do everything all by yourself, you'd achieve less, get drained and dry up faster!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭Even God had to use Moses's father inlaw to teach him to delegate responsibilities. You too should. There's wisdom in it that everyone must learn.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please teach me to appreciate leveraging on the gifts of men through delegation. Send me godly and reasonable men to whom I could exercise true delegation that it may be well with me all round, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/68694929Sat, 22 Nov 2025 17:20:30 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Sunday, November 23, 2025 Topic: CREATE WITH YOUR NEW SEASONS (Part 4)!

INSPIRATION: One other very important action God took in the creation story was that He did consultation. He consulted with the Trinity, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:..." (Gen. 1:26). Imagine for a moment what could stop you from consultation if the all-knowing God consulted? Until you realise you're limited in knowledge, information and scope, you may never see the need to hold consultation. Consultancy affords you the opportunity to leverage on the ideas, strengths and insights of others. It helps you know no one is an island or reservoir of knowledge.

You should never wallow when help is just a call away. Consult with the Holy Spirit. He knows all things and He's willing to show or teach you what you need to know and do. Consult with experts in the field you're venturing into; use the libraries and Internet resources. Knowledge is universal, ignorance is localised. That you don't know today, doesn't make it excusable to remain deliberately ignorant forever. Those who  lack knowledge are destroyed for the prize of their ignorance (Hosea 4:6).

Bible Text: Genesis 1: 1 KJV

1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

INSPIRATION: Looking at Genesis 1:2-25 critically, you'd observe the great efforts God put into creation. He sets up systems and structures that are self-sustaining and self-governing. This is quite profound. Whilst our lives should not be regulated to run on auto-pilot which relegates us to the status of robots, we must set up systems and structures that run independent of us.

Principles and policies that work most effectively are those built on and woven around structures. They run independent or regardless of whomever sits on the saddle. Imagine for a moment if God had to run in at every given instance to fix the earth whenever something goes wrong. But that's what we do most times, stressing ourselves over what could have fixed itself had we built systems and structures around them that are self-governed. That's not how God created us to operate.

To pilot your affairs on this premise is to run against the sequence of our existence. It would stress, weary, age and destroy us. Our lives and investment concerns should not shutdown because we're not physically present to fix things. Get back to God's template on structures and gain wisdom.

Topic: FAITH AS THE CURRENCY OF CREATION (Part 4)

Memory Verse: "‭‭Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear" - Hebrews 11:3 KJV

Bible Text: Genesis 1: 3 - 4 KJV

3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

INSPIRATION: Hebrews 11: 3 is instructive! Through faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God. We have to bring in the faith factor! Many of the affirmative action we do are mere philosophical principles that lack the essential ingredients of faith. And where faith is absent, results are not guaranteed! Little wonder many of us do not produce the desired results. Positivity not inspired by and anchored on faith would likely be an exercise in futility.

We must know the difference between faith-inspired and self-motivated or other people's opinion influenced action. Faith inspired action will always lead to peace, even when outcome is contrary, but not so with others. As you make your positive pronouncements, it is not the zeal behind it or the grammatical construct that matters, it is the faith in it that is scrutinised and weighed in a scale. It is faith that produces results from the unknown or unseen.

Your faith will always be tried as it is put on the line. Faith is what argues out and secures or purchases your results. When you engage in verbal transactions of creating your reality, faith is the currency that authenticates your deal for the delivery to be made.

Topic: FAITH AS THE CURRENCY OF CREATION (Part 4)

Memory Verse: "‭‭Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear" - Hebrews 11:3 KJV

Bible Text: Genesis 1: 3 - 4 KJV

3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

INSPIRATION: Hebrews 11: 3 is instructive! Through faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God. We have to bring in the faith factor! Many of the affirmative action we do are mere philosophical principles that lack the essential ingredients of faith. And where faith is absent, results are not guaranteed! Little wonder many of us do not produce the desired results. Positivity not inspired by and anchored on faith would likely be an exercise in futility.

We must know the difference between faith-inspired and self-motivated or other people's opinion influenced action.

Memory Verse: "‭‭Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear" - Hebrews 11:3 KJV

Bible Text: Genesis 1: 3 - 4 KJV

3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

INSPIRATION: Sometimes, some ugly situations are waiting for your action, which could either be an approval for it to thrive or a disapproval for it to disappear. You've to consciously stop reinforcing negative stereotypes or failure; you need to intentionally stop giving bad situations the wings to fly. Enough of being comfortable with situations you should be challenging and changing.

Jesus taught His disciples, "...whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ ...he will have whatever he says" (Mark‬ ‭11:23‬). In other words, mountains are supposed to be spoken to! What have you been doing to your own mountains? Jeremiah gives us an insight into what we should be doing to our mountains: "‭‭Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant" (Jere. ‭1:9‭-‬10‬).

Your assignment over your mountains is to uproot, tear down, destroy, and overthrow them. You can't have your job description laid out for you and fail in its delivery. That shouldn't be. Never! If you do, it would amount to incompetence and negligence, for which Paul counsels, "Do not be lazy, but always work hard" (Rom. 12:11).

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭Stay disciplined to your assignment: speak to your mountains, change your situation. Create your ideal reality. Everything you need to accomplish this is within you, and your mouth is a great asset in this regard. Once you accept defeat, it becomes easy to lose.

PRAYER: O Lord, I stand on your authority vested in me and command my mountains to be removed. I refuse to allow anything that doesn't glorify You or advance my cause in life to reign within my territory, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/68603646Mon, 17 Nov 2025 15:01:46 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Tuesday, November 18, 2025 Topic: CREATE YOUR REALITY (Part 3) Memory Verse: "‭‭Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of...

3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

INSPIRATION: The warning to speak with caution and not heap up calamity on one's self is beyond a call to affirmative action. It is the language of the spirit. We do not speak according to the reality around us but by the realisation that a revelational word holds more weight than our realities. If this wasn't true, God would never have commanded us thus: "Let the weak say I'm strong," (Joel 3: 10). That is to say, you should not speak negativity, no matter your present condition.

Negative speaking only reinforces defeat. It legitimises negative domininance over your life. God refused to focus on the formless and dark earth at creation (Gen. 1: 2). He used words to reorder a chaotic world. Words are powerful; they either create or destroy, depending on how you use them. The Bible says, "‭‭You have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth" (Prov. ‭6:2‬ ‭NIV‬‬).

Many people have been caught in the entrapment of self-deprecation, which has made them lose the battles for their lives and yielded its control to all kinds of negative manipulations. Do not use your mouth to reinforce negative trends. Do not become someone who forecasts bad news or amplifies evil report, some which we unconsciously personalise. It is a trap!

INSPIRATION: It was Apostle Paul who told us that things happen for our example and were written for our admonition (1 Cor. 10: 11). It is therefore our responsibility to follow these examples to create our own outcomes. If God, in whose image we're created spoke and saw them come into being, we should know our worlds are as powerful and potent. We should not just throw words into space thinking they're idle words. No, they go into our future to create a reality, whether positive or negative. Truth is, in the realm of the spirit, no word is considered a joke!

So many of us have shaped our reality in negativity! We wrongly assume that being modest means talking down on ourselves but in such careless engagements, we mortgage our future by creating outcomes that hurt and pursue us. This is a simple universal principle of seedtime and harvest (Gen. 8:22)! God said, "Let there be...," and there was. And God saw what he spoke into being. How would you feel when you see everything you speak over your life come into existence? Would you, like God say, "And it was good"?

Memory Verse: "‭‭The hand of the diligent will rule, but the lazy man will be put to forced labor" - Proverbs‬ ‭12:24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Bible Text: Proverbs‬ ‭22:29‬ ‭KJV‬‬

29. Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; He shall not stand before mean men.

INSPIRATION: A diligent person pays attention to details. He doesn't leave his tasks bearing rough hedges. Every single detail is important to him to enable him deliver an excellent result. He's never caught unfresh. A diligent person has a unique kind of fervency that stirs him up to action. Idleness wearies him. Whilst others may run away from responsibility, he runs in the direction of more responsibilities.

He's motivated by new challenges, works hard and intelligently to overcome hurdles in his path. Since he applies himself to work, the continuous repetition of work helps him to brush up his skills to deliver excellent value in return. A diligent person delivers value that's is far above the pay grade of a mediocre, and that's why he's sought after by kings. Value, like faith, is a universal currency; its purchasing power is very high. So also is the price tag on which its products are staked.

The values you deliver on is what makes you desirable and employable. Once your value proposition drops, your services may no longer be required. Once your nuisance level rises higher than your value quotient, you're shown the way out. Mediocrity and diligence do not combine effectively in an entity, same way you cannot be hot and cold simultaneously.

INSPIRATION: Diligence is a very scarce commodity in contemporary times, and those who walk its path are often mocked and considered unwise, but it is still God's standard and a sure way to be successful. Diligence breeds excellence; excellence opens doors of opportunities. Excellence is self-advertising; it attracts the right patronage from kings. "Standing before kings," is not physical posturing but to offer services befitting of kings.

Diligence means possessing the right skills that compel kings to seek your services. The monetised rewards of offering services to Kings can only be better imagined! Diligence is an offshoot of hardwork; it is a product of intentionality and deliberately considered choices. It is to put your brain to work. Like E. W Kenyon puts it, "Make your brain work, it will sweat, but it will improve; it will improve until you become the envy of those around."

Nothing can stop anyone who puts their brain to work. Don't waste the precious deposits within you! Proverbs is filled with wise saying about diligence, "The hand of the diligent will rule" (Prov. 12: 24). If you're not ruling, interrogate the level of your diligence.

How do you reckon with a man who became king and his throne was established forever in Israel, if it wasn't for God's mercies?

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭David had made his boast in God, which was a kind of worship, and it opened up portals. An insensitive person might have wasted the moment but not David. What do you do with your divine moments?

PRAYER: O Lord, I take a cue from David and know how to seal deals in the Spirit! I'm a prophet over my life and as I decree, You'll honour me. Thank You, Lord, for equipping me with the tools for victorious living.

Topic: INSIGHTS INTO PSALM 23 (Part 9)!

Memory Verse: "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you" - Exodus 3:14 KJV

Bible Text: Psalms 23:6 KJV

6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

INSPIRATION: Notice with me, if you would, how David makes a switch from talking about God being his Shepherd to making a declarative assertion about himself. Believers must learn to discern when to switch from being TRADITIONAL believers to being TRANSITIONAL believers. A traditional believer has a fixed mindset that is not open to new ideas or inspirational information. If it is not patterned how he knew it to be, it is not right.

To a traditional believer, everything must either be black or white and nothing in-between. Believers must discern divine moments when a "SURELY" registers in their spirit and make the switch. They must not be tied down to traditional ways to thinking that makes God's Word of no effect (Mark 7: 13). The danger of being traditional when you should be transitional is that you could kill your 'Isaac' while thinking you're carrying out a divine instruction (read Genesis 22: 1 - 13).

Abraham might have killed Isaac on the first order if he wasn't sensitive to hear a second time. But the main point of the transition wasn't when he heard, "Do not lay a hand on the boy," but when he lifted his eyes and saw a ram caught by the horn and killed it in the place of Isaac (Gen. 22:13).

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭‭Every now and again, divine instructions and opportunities avail themselves to us. Only those who are able to switch from the traditional mindset to a transitional mindset would hear, see and maximise the opportunities.

Memory Verse: "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you" - Exodus 3:14 KJV

Bible Text: Psalms 23:5 KJV

5. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

INSPIRATION: David makes a very careful yet profound statement about whom God is and what He does for him. To prepare a table before him in the presence of his enemies is to bless him in spite of the enemy's worst assault against him; it is to lavish God's abundance on him in such a reassuring way like saying, "I've got you, baby." See what this Psalmist says, "The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?" (Psalms 118:6).

Knowing your position in your relationship with God makes Satan's attack on you look significantly meaningless because he can't curse whom God has blessed (Num. 23: 8).
Whilst the enemy is puzzled at the lavish table God sets for you, He caps it with His anointing. The anointing empowers you to do exploits, brings you into the extra flow where everything runs over.

The oil of God is such a powerful and impactful thing that must never be played with. It puts you ahead of others; guarantees ease and eliminates friction. Like a catalyst, it stirs, compels and commands an overflow, and pulls off every seal of limitation. Boundary lines extend as the oil empowers you to do extraordinary things and achieve extra impossible results. Overflow is absence of scarcity. The oil makes you running over!

Topic: PRAYER DYNAMICS (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: "...The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results" - James 5:16 NLT

Bible Text: Isaiah 43:26 KJV

26. Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.

INSPIRATION: When we pray, we often draw references from Psalm 24:7-10 as we declare, "Lift up your heads o ye gates, and be lifted ye everlasting doors that the King of glory may come in." Powerful verse, especially, as it relates to our Lord being referred to as the King of glory. Yet, we fail to realise that as He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4: 17). Thus, Revelation 1: 6 says, "He has made us Kings and priests ..." In other words, since you're king as He is, you're actually commanding Gates to open up for you to step in! Hallelujah!!

This is so profound! Prayer opens you up to dimensions and realms that only gods can operate in. And you're gods (Ps. 82: 6; John 10:35)! Gods are supernatural beings with unlimited access. Prayer helps you walk in the consciousness that you're a god and a king with supernatural abilities that gates cannot limit! Prayer transports you into the spiritual realm where destinies are determined, decisions are made and control of the physical plain are ordered. Prayer is a spiritual force, and not just mere muttering of words. The more reason you're encouraged to pray in the Spirit.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Prayer helps you realise your true identity in God, and gives you access into realms where operating on the mandate of your real identity in Christ opens you up to unlimited possibilities. Therefore pray!

Memory Verse: "...The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results" - James 5:16 NLT

Bible Text: Isaiah 43:26 KJV

26. Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.

INSPIRATION: Never in the history of the church has the concept of prayer become so misunderstood and misapplied as it is in this generation. What is prayer, it is the act of making supplication before God; it is talking to God and making our request known to Him (Phi. 4:6). Unfortunately, many would rather wish or complain than pray! Prayer is an active engagement of Supernatural's intervention in the natural realm; it is you granting God the express permission to make inroads into your affairs.

Prayer is putting God in remembrance (Isa. 43: 26 KJV) of what He has said, and the promises He has made concerning you. Does it mean God is forgetful? Never! It is rather tying your request to His word since He does nothing outside His word. Prayer is effective when you speak back His word to Him in faith. It is not effective because it is long, short or emotional, but weighed in the quality of His Word you mix in faith as you pray. To pray is to argue your case before God like a lawyer does before a judge. What earns you a justification is how you back up your point with the Word.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Prayer is dynamically most effective when you, "Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob" (Isa 41:21 KJV). If your prayer fails to meet this requirement, you may not have actually prayed.

Memory Verse: "He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?" - Matthew 16:15 KJV

Bible Text: Matthew 16:13 KJV

13. When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

INSPIRATION: Most often than not, God's names as we know them today and as we pointed out yesterday, come from personal encounters, and sealed with covenant. Those covenants were cut and enforced through the shedding of blood. In other words, an animal had to die to ractify the covenant. Any encounter that does not 'kill' something on your inside should be subjected to thorough scrutiny. Real encounters are not defined by the feeling of goosebumps but by revelational insight into whom Jesus is, because, "He must increase, but you must decrease" (John 3: 30).

Real encounters bring you down on your knees at the feet of the Cross, where you're lost in worship of the Splendor of our King, Master and Saviour. It births a revelation that proclaims the true identity of Christ. No wonder Peter could boldly say, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God," in response to Jesus's question, "But whom say ye that I am?" (Matt16:15). Notice how Jesus moved from a general to a personal, direct question: it shows you can't overlook personal revelation - you get God's seal of approval like Peter, "Upon this rock I will build..."

13. When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

INSPIRATION: God's revelation to man is progressive and dynamic, as it is personal. As such, no one can claim to have grasped all there is in God and about Him. It is important to note that personal encounters are birthing places for God's revelation. Encounters are triggered off by a passionate hunger. Until you get that revelation, you cannot in good fate answer Jesus's question, "...But whom say ye that I am?" - (Matt. 16:15). What aspect of God has He revealed to you that helps shape your understanding of Him?

Some names of God we read in the bible such as Jehovah Jireh (Provider), El Roi (The God who sees me); El Shaddai (Multi-breasted One); Shammah (God is here) etc, were not names God introduced Himself by. These names were coined from the personal experiences or encounters of individuals. Today, we use them to relate to God in more meaningful ways than ever. But has God's revelation exhausted? Never!

Bible Text: Matthew 16:13 KJV

13. When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

INSPIRATION: Our God is known for processes, timing and revelation. He reveals a part of Himself to us per time, thereby, making it foolhardy for anyone to claim to have known all there is about God. As mysterious as this is, each person's understanding of God is shaped, not necessarily by the side of Him that is revealed but by the light that shines in our heart at the point of revelation. Hence, two people can gaze on an aspect of God at the same time, but each one would come out with a different revelation.

Knowing this about himself, He introduces Himself to Moses as, "I AM WHO I AM and WHAT I AM, and I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE; ..." (Exo. 3:14 AMPC). In other words, you're as limited in your knowledge of Me as the part of Me that I reveal to you. It makes absolute sense then when He shows Moses another side or definition of Himself in Exodus 3:6, "I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty [El-Shaddai], but by My name the Lord [Yahweh–the redemptive name of God] I did not make Myself known to them [in acts and great miracles]. [Gen. 17:1.]" This should drive you to seek more of God.

Hence, two people can gaze on an aspect of God at the same time, but each one would come out with a different revelation.

Knowing this about himself, He introduces Himself to Moses as, "I AM WHO I AM and WHAT I AM, and I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE; ..." (Exo. 3:14 AMPC). In other words, you're as limited in your knowledge of Me as the part of Me that I reveal to you. It makes absolute sense then when He shows Moses another side or definition of Himself in Exodus 3:6, "I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty [El-Shaddai], but by My name the Lord [Yahweh–the redemptive name of God] I did not make Myself known to them [in acts and great miracles]. [Gen. 17:1.]" This should drive you to seek more of God.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

God is progressively revelatory. Everyone who searches for God, concludes like Paul, "Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unfathomable (inscrutable, unsearchable) are His judgments (His decisions)! And how untraceable (mysterious, undiscoverable) are His ways (His methods, His paths)!"  (Romans 11:33 AMPC)

PRAYER: O Lord, may I be sensitive to Your revelation and discerning enough to know what You reveal per time. Teach me to walk in the fullness of this knowledge each passing day, in Jesus name.]]>758falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/miraculous-turnarounds-unlocking-total-health--67824930 With Emmanuel Afiawari

Topic: MIRACULOUS TURNAROUNDS_ UNLOCKING TOTAL HEALTH ( Part 3)!

Memory Verse: "When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream" - Psalms 126:1 NKJV

Bible Text: Jeremiah 30:17 MSG

17. As for you, I’ll come with healing, curing the incurable, because they all gave up on you and dismissed you as hopeless— that good-for-nothing Zion.

INSPIRATION: God still does miracles. He does wonders without numbers (Job 9:10). A few ways He wants to show you His wondrous acts are summarised in Jeremiah 30:17. I will restore health to you, and cure the incurable. In this regard, He'll restore health in the following areas: (i). Spiritual health; (ii). Physical health; (iii). Relationship health, and (iv). Financial health. His reason is, to shame those who despised you, and to compensate for the things you suffered in their hands. Why these four areas? I'm glad you asked.

Spiritual health, because the spirit controls the physical. We're spiritual people having a physical experience and God wants our connection to His Spirit to be cordial. Also, you need to be physically healthy to engage in life's ventures. Health, is wealth. It takes only a healthy person to pursue his dreams to its fullest.

Whilst it is not bad to focus our energies in pursuit of financial fortunes, we must realise a financially healthy person who lacks spiritual and physical capacities may fail in life. Build healthy relationships, connect with your kind. Be a people-person, learn to leverage the gifts of men to move forward. Men are bridges across fields.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

When God says, I will restore health to you (Jere. 30:17), He meant health in all its forms. The responsibility is on you to believe, align in faith and keep confessing His word back to Him until you see it manifests.

PRAYER: O Lord, restore my health in its entirety according to Your promise. Make me to be whole in deed, that I might run my cause in perfect wellness, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/67824930Fri, 19 Sep 2025 18:30:48 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Saturday, September 20, 2025 Topic: MIRACULOUS TURNAROUNDS_ UNLOCKING TOTAL HEALTH ( Part 3)!

Topic: MIRACULOUS TURNAROUND ( Part 2)!

Memory Verse: "When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream" - Psalms 126:1 NKJV

Bible Text: Zephaniah 3:20 NKJV

20. At that time I will bring you back, even at the time I gather you; for I will give you fame and praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I return your captives before your eyes,” says the Lord.

INSPIRATION: Divine turnarounds are miracles that surpass our expectations, and leave us in a dreamland (Ps. 126:1)! God has a fixed time for your affliction to end. At the appointed time, He will bring you back (Zeph. 3:20). What this implies is, He'd restore you. Restoration, in simple terms is, bringing you back to the state you were before things went wrong. Even so, there's another dimension to restoration, which takes you beyond your initial status before your fall to ensuring you're paid in arrears all you were due but denied while under the bondage of affliction. Hallelujah!

A lot of us are so familiar with Joel 2: 25, "And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you." Yet only a few pay attention to the next verse, which explains the reason for the restoration: "And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed" (Joel 2:26 KJV). The turnaround is to satisfy you so you can praise God. While at it, He ensures your shame is permanently removed. Glory to God!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

God intends for your turnaround to be a tool that evokes genuine praise to His name. God is not only fearful in praise, He's jealous for the lack of adequate praise on our part.

PRAYER: O Lord, please give me the miracle of a total restoration in every area of my life where I had incured a loss; satisfy me early and show me Your salvation so that I can offer you worthy praise that is devoid of shame, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/67811424Thu, 18 Sep 2025 18:37:54 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Friday, September 19, 2025 Topic: MIRACULOUS TURNAROUND ( Part 2)!

INSPIRATION: Sometimes, we may stay so long in a bad situation that it almost becomes normal. Your senses and faculties start to adjust to the new reality and condition you to accept what you should deal with and change. When life beats you to blend into a reality that isn't yours or meant to be, survival mode is activated just so you could get by. This is the reality of many today, with no hope in view for a possible change. Despair and resignation to fate has slept off every shade of optimism left in them.

Make no mistakes about it, it is a terrible thing to be in a state of gloom, especially, when you expect to bloom! In spite of this, God assures us of a turnaround. He says, "I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him" (Ezek. 21:27 KJV). God is about to turn your captivity in such a dramatic way! He will bring you back to a state of fame and praise (Zaph. 3:20), even though this may look like an unrealistic dream (Ps. 126:1).

Memory Verse: "In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will" - Ephesians 1:11 NIV

31. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
32. But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

INSPIRATION: Before the advent of digital camera, films for photos had to be passed through and developed in a "Dark Room." The name suggests an unpleasant place but when films are run through it, beautiful pictures emerge! Many of us may be in dark places right now and wondering what the future holds. God would have me say to you, "You're coming out bigger, better and stronger. You'll pick up some vital lessons but He'll pull you through and out of it with a strong hand and you'll have a beautiful ending.

Jesus told Peter, "Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:" That is, to take him through a rough patch. Every once in a while, you may encounter difficulties, but Jesus said further, "I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren." He allowed you go through that hell to prepare and equip you to guide others when their wilderness experience begins.

Bible Text: Hebrews 12:2 KJV

2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

INSPIRATION: How many of you, like me, experimented with a magnifying lense and paper under the hot sun to see if it would burn? To make it burn with flames requires you to focus the rays of the sun on a spot on the paper for much longer. As kids, those who couldn't stay focused did not experience the burning flames on their paper. In similar vein, when your focus on Jesus is not well directed, you won't get the results it ought to produce. It won't ignite the 'flames' needed to initiate your expected miraculous outcome.

You'll never understand the importance and power of focus until you gain spiritual clarity that you could miss something or something could go wrong when you're not alert to its need. “That’s a hard one!” said Elijah to Elisha. “But if you’re watching when I’m taken from you, you’ll get what you’ve asked for. But only if you’re watching" (2 Kings 2:10 MSG). The operating word is 'watching.' To look unto to Jesus is to watch with a focused gaze. If Elisha missed it, he misses everything. Same way you miss everything when your eyes go off the Master. Peter lost focus, he began to sink (Matt. 14: 30).

2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

INSPIRATION: Scriptures was careful to mention that as they looked up to him, their faces became radiant and there was no shame or confusion traced to them. When you gaze intently on Jesus, His glory rubs off on you and makes you to radiate same. In fact, Scriptures say you become transformed into the image you see (2 Cor. 3:18).

This doesn't seem logical but no one makes meaning to spiritual principles with their senses. The more you look to Jesus, the more He's magnified in the face of your reality. An intently focused gaze on Jesus pulls you to your altar of true worship. True worshippers according to John 4:23-24 are few today.

Topic: LOOKING UNTO JESUS (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: "They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed" - Psalms 34:5 NKJV

Bible Text: Hebrews 12:2 KJV

2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

INSPIRATION: Scriptures was careful to mention that as they looked up to him, their faces became radiant and there was no shame or confusion traced to them. When you gaze intently on Jesus, His glory rubs off on you and makes you to radiate same. In fact, Scriptures say you become transformed into the image you see (2 Cor. 3:18).

This doesn't seem logical but no one makes meaning to spiritual principles with their senses. The more you look to Jesus, the more He's magnified in the face of your reality. An intently focused gaze on Jesus pulls you to your altar of true worship. True worshippers according to John 4:23-24 are few today. Unfortunately, herein lies God's agenda in asking you to focus on Jesus.

If your gaze doesn't inspire worship, you would have missed a great opportunity to get into the heart of God and make Him dwell in your worship (Ps. 22:3). The key to making Him dwell in your praise lies in how you focus. Don't forget too that His presence makes mountains melt like wax (Ps. 97:5) and skip like rams (Ps. 114: 4,6).

Memory Verse: "They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed" - Psalms 34:5 NKJV

Bible Text: Hebrews 12:2 KJV

2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

INSPIRATION: Looking unto Jesus isn't as simple as just taking a casual gaze. It is a conscious and deliberate exercise that makes Him the centre of your thoughts. It is an act of absolute worship that magnifies Him above all else. Looking unto Jesus takes away the attention from ourselves or our problems. Many of us are too self-centred and problem-centred. This tends diminish God's sovereignty when our focus is on everything else other than Jesus.

When you look unto Jesus, you're making Him the centerpiece of your affection, and you shift the weight of your burdens on Him. When you look unto Jesus, radiance beautifies your countenance and shame leaves no traces on you. Looking unto Jesus fills you with glistening glory that eliminates all forms of shame or confusion. It literally crowns Jesus Lord over you and whatever may have assailed you. Herein His peace reigns and makes your life's storms pale into insignificance.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Jesus is honoured when we focus all our attention on Him than when we put all the attention on ourselves and our challenges. The latter tends to remove God from our equation and brings frustration.

Topic: UNSHAKEN CONFIDENCE (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: "But none of these things move me; ..." - Acts 20:24A NKJV

Bible Text: Romans 8:35 NLT

35. “Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?

INSPIRATION: It is often said that trust is earned and not demanded. God has not only earned our trust, He demands that we trust Him. Trusting Him doesn't make Him any more "God" than He already is, it however profits whoever decides to so do. For Job to have declared, "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him" (Job 13:15 KJV), there must be something he knew about trusting God that should challenge our faith too. Being slain, yet trusting is not a tea party. 

The three Hebrew boys told the king, "We are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods..." (Daniel 3:16-18 KJV).

This level of confident audacity must be sponsored by something deeper than mere head knowledge. They must have encountered God in dimensions that killed their fear. Such confidence comes from deeply intimate fellowship that is lacking in today's believers.

If anything still moves you to the point of affecting your love for God, just know that you're farther away from knowing what it means to confidently trust God. It has a price!

INSPIRATION: Sometimes, life delivers troubles to us in truckloads that tend to shake us like reed shaken by a fast moving heavy current of water. The purpose of the troubles is to grip your heart with fear and derail your focus away from God and your purpose. It is to strip you of every covering and defense so you can struck. Troubles are targeted to disarm you and make you an easy prey. It magnifies a problem and often diminishes your confidence in God and in yourself!

Yet, in the midst of many troubles, Paul says, "But none of these things move me" (Acts 20:24). When your heart fully trusts in God, you would confidently make same declarations. When you fully understand His love holds you in an inseparable bond, you can beat your chest and say, "my life is hid in Christ in God" (Colo. 3:3).

INSPIRATION: The story of the Prodigal Son leaves us with many moral lessons to shape our choices. In the coming days, we shall take a look at some of these lesson under the broad them, 'TAKE THE FLAG DOWN.' For the avoidance of doubt, a flag, as used in this context, is symbolic of the governmental authority that controls your territory.

When a people are subdued and conquered during war time, the conquering nation erects its flag at the sit of power of the conquered nation to show a new government is in control. When the Prodigal Son asked for his share of inheritance, he wasn't trying to get rich. He already was a rich kid. He only wanted control. But control without discipline will frustrate you! Rather than gain control, he gave it out cheaply.

Control without mastery will lead you astray. In this case, he went into a far country and wasted his resources in wanton recklessness. Do not think it is only money you lose when you stray into territories you're not trained and suited for. He wasted his substance - purpose, anointing, graces, survival instinct, etc, at the spur of a bad decision. Many destinies have been derailed due to back choices.

Topic: IT'S TIME TO SIT DOWN (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: "And Jesus said, 'Make the men sit down'..."  ~ John 6: 10A KJV

Bible Text: Isaiah 30:15 AMPC

15. For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: In returning [to Me] and resting [in Me] you shall be saved; in quietness and in [trusting] confidence shall be your strength. But you would not,

INSPIRATION: God says, "In returning [to Me] and resting [in Me] you shall be saved; ..." (Isa. 30:15A). It's not that hard. You only prove your return to God by sitting down. Some people return in principle but not in practice. Others admire the principles of Christ but the practice of His teaching is alien to them. He says, "In quietness and in [trusting] confidence shall be your strength" (Isaiah 30:15B).

Trusting God when your mind is agitated and unstable doesn't come easily. If you're unstable in mind, do not expect to receive anything from God (James 1:6-8). Life is not as hard as we make it seem when we recognise God as our source and rest in the confidence that he can make it right. The men Jesus asked to make sit down were faced with a dilemma: hunger loomed but they had no solution to it. But the One who asked them to sit knew what He'd do (John 6: 6). Sitting with Him, stretches your faith as you see Him solve your problems so you can always believe in God for anything.

Again, Jesus's statement, 'Make the men sit down' (John 6: 10A) connotes some kind of mentorship. When mentees sit to be instructed, a kind of solid relationship and bonding exists between the mentees and their mentor. It allows the mentor to unburden his heart and reveal secrets that are needed to advance the mentee's cause. Who are your mentors and how close are you to them to enable you learn their winning secrets? Are you teachable?

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Do not allow your mind wander away from God. Work at getting more intimate with Him. Be willing to be instructed, mentored and guided if fulfilling destiny is a priority.

PRAYER: O Lord, please help me to keep my mind on You, so I can enjoy a stable life that's free from agitation.

Memory Verse: "And Jesus said, 'Make the men sit down'..."  ~ John 6: 10A KJV

Bible Text: Isaiah 30:15 AMPC

15. For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: In returning [to Me] and resting [in Me] you shall be saved; in quietness and in [trusting] confidence shall be your strength. But you would not,

INSPIRATION: God says, "In returning [to Me] and resting [in Me] you shall be saved; ..." (Isa. 30:15A). It's not that hard. You only prove your return to God by sitting down. Some people return in principle but not in practice. Others admire the principles of Christ but the practice of His teaching is alien to them. He says, "In quietness and in [trusting] confidence shall be your strength" (Isaiah 30:15B).

Trusting God when your mind is agitated and unstable doesn't come easily. If you're unstable in mind, do not expect to receive anything from God (James 1:6-8). Life is not as hard as we make it seem when we recognise God as our source and rest in the confidence that he can make it right. The men Jesus asked to make sit down were faced with a dilemma: hunger loomed but they had no solution to it. But the One who asked them to sit knew what He'd do (John 6: 6). Sitting with Him, stretches your faith as you see Him solve your problems so you can always believe in God for anything.

INSPIRATION: Often, we worry about things we have no control over or solutions to, whereas, God expects us to sit down! Sit at his feet; relax in your trust in Him. He'll make good what He begun. Stop pacing about and worrying over things beyond your control. Just sit at His feet like Mary did (Luke 10: 39) and receive His instructions! I have known a bit of God to worry about fixing what only He can fix.

There's a critical need for us to return to God, trusting absolutely in Him. Partial trust equals no trust. You cannot rest in God until your trust is absolute! Jesus said, "Make the peeple sit down." This simple instruction wasn't for them to abandon their responsibility but to handover control of what seems bigger than them to God. Miracles happen where our faculties, abilities and skills fail. When no one had a solution, Jesus offered one!

But to witness His miracle, they must sit down! Their minds must be stayed on Him (Isaiah 26:3), and not on their situation!! Are you sitting down where God's word can change things speedily you? Are you maximising your privilege to rest in God's love, knowing He'll not fail? Do you often feel so encumbered by life's pressure? It's time to sit down. You need an update on your operational manual. Sit down with God and get instructed. Take a break from your activities and get redirection. Let Jesus lead so you can enjoy His rest.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Learn to sit down and not be agitated by life's struggles. Pressure will mount, but wisdom is knowing when to retreat and just sit down with the Master. Refreshing and insightful moments are best recorded when you sit down with Jesus.

PRAYER: O Lord, please help me to fix my mind on You; to sit where You bid me sit, and to take divine instructions.

Topic: PERSPECTIVE TO PRAYER (Part 4)!

Memory Verse: "Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified" - Isaiah 43:26 KJV

Bible Text: Mark 11:24 KJV

24. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

INSPIRATION: Another very significant, yet intriguing part of prayer is that it reveals and introduces you to yourself. You think you know yourself well, right? No you don't! When you pray in an honest manner, and allow the Holy Spirit to search all things (1 Corinthians 2:10), the kind of things He'd search out and reveal about you would shock you. The Holy Spirit will literally reintroduce you to yourself.

I'm not sure you're ready for this conversation yet, but that's the point where great men are made. God says, "Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand)" (Jeremiah 33:3). Right within you are so much, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know, yet they matter to your assignment on earth.

What prayer does is to align you with God's Spirit, where hidden secrets about you can be revealed. This comes with a lot of perseverance, self discipline, and sacrifices. It would take a lot from you but overall, it would profit you. This realm is the furnace where outstanding destinies are forged from the burning coals that come with those revelations. Here, you'll find clarity to vagueness, light to darkness and meaning to meaninglessness. This place truly, is where every believer should aspire to be in when we pray.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Do you really know yourself and what you could do or accomplish? Do you have a full grasp of why you're on earth? Whilst you may think you do, prayer will reveal some aspects of your life that you never knew exist. So, pray and turn on the searchlight!

Bible Text: Mark 11:24 KJV

24. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

INSPIRATION: When God says, "Put Me in remembrance," it doesn't mean He is  forgetful. Never! He only expects you to apply your knowledge of the Scriptures in dealing with particular situations. Exodus 23:25 says, "So you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you." Yet sickness came upon Hezekiah and with it was a death sentence.

What did Hezekiah do? He reminded God of His faithful services and God healed and gifted him fifteen years more to live (2 Kings. 20:1-6). God cannot go back on His Word. This principle applied so well with Hezekiah and it still works wonders till now. Prayer ties God to His Word, it produces the legal framework that commits God to action. This underlies the meaning of producing your strong reasons (Isaiah 41:21).

How badly do you want a response from God? I should like to think Jesus brought forth His strong reasons each time He prayed. So it may not be that His prayers were answered because He's God but because He applied scriptural principles. Prayer is a function of using the right keys to unlock doors. Do you believe in God's word? Do you see yourself living and manifesting the realities as contained in scriptures? If you do, then engage God with His promises and see what happens.

Memory Verse: "Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified" - Isaiah 43:26 KJV

Bible Text: Mark 11:24 KJV

24. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

INSPIRATION: It would shock you that many believers do not know why they pray. It's more of a religious obligation for them. As such, when they pray, they may not put their hearts into it or they keep asking God to change and fix things. Whilst the latter is not out of place, God would rather He fixes and changes you first before changing the things you pray to Him about. Fixing you is critical to your destiny and His purposes than fixing things.

Do not box God into fixing things like He's some handyman; allow Him fix you, others would fall in line. To fix you, your prayer and thoughts must align to His will and His word. Prayer aligns our spirit with the Holy Spirit. It redirects our attention away from us back to Him. Prayer brings you into the centre of God's will, helps you know the mind of God, so you can speak mysteries from a standpoint of an insider.

Once you align in the spirit, God's anointing begins to flow with such pressured intensity that it triggers miracles. Once you align with the Holy Spirit, prayer enriches you with the backing of all the resources of heaven. Prayer alignment positions you as a judge over Satan and his activities. It gives you legislative jurisdiction to enforce God's will while also helping you to boldly legislate in matters beyond this realm. Prayer is a vehicle to uncovering mysteries in the kingdom.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Never mistake the fact that God's love is best demonstrated by His desire to change you and fit you into alignment with His plans. One instrument He uses to achieve this, is you having a healthy prayer life.

PRAYER: O Lord, if You will, please change me from deep within and cause me to fall into alignment with Your plans and purposes for my life, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/67403434Sun, 17 Aug 2025 16:40:14 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Monday, August 18, 2025 Topic: PERSPECTIVES TO PRAYERS (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: "Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified" - Isaiah 43:26 KJV

Bible Text: Mark 11:24 KJV

24. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

INSPIRATION: It would shock you that many believers do not know why they pray. It's more of a religious obligation for them. As such, when they pray, they may not put their hearts into it or they keep asking God to change and fix things. Whilst the latter is not out of place, God would rather He fixes and changes you first before changing the things you pray to Him about. Fixing you is critical to your destiny and His purposes than fixing things.

Do not box God into fixing things like He's some handyman; allow Him fix you, others would fall in line. To fix you, your prayer and thoughts must align to His will and His word. Prayer aligns our spirit with the Holy Spirit. It redirects our attention away from us back to Him. Prayer brings you into the centre of God's will, helps you know the mind of God, so you can speak mysteries from a standpoint of an insider.

Once you align in the spirit, God's anointing begins to flow with such pressured intensity that it triggers miracles. Once you align with the Holy Spirit, prayer enriches you with the backing of all the resources of heaven. Prayer alignment positions you as a judge over Satan and his activities. It gives you legislative jurisdiction to enforce God's will while also helping you to boldly legislate in matters beyond this realm. Prayer is a vehicle to uncovering mysteries in the kingdom.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Never mistake the fact that God's love is best demonstrated by His desire to change you and fit you into alignment with His plans. One instrument He uses to achieve this, is you having a healthy prayer life.

PRAYER: O Lord, if You will, please change me from deep within and cause me to fall into alignment with Your plans and purposes for my life, in Jesus name.]]>136falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/perspective-to-prayer-part-2--67403358 With Emmanuel Afiawari

Bible Text: Mark 11:24 KJV

24. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

INSPIRATION: There're two answers to prayer we hate to get when we pray, but they test and confirms our maturity as believers who are in alignment in our walk with God. There are:

1. No, it's not now. Wait.
2. No. It's not for you.

Please, when you hear these in your prayer closet, don't bother rebuking the devil. It ain't no devil speaking to you, PLEASE.

Prayer is not always like a child asking for snacks. Stop throwing tantrums when you dont get answers the way you want them. Pray until you feel a release; pray until you hear Him speak; then pray again (1 Kings 18: 42-45)! Do not pray only when there's trouble (1 Thessalonians 5:17). You'll lose more grounds when your prayer life becomes a boring periodic labour instead of a daily lifestyle that is powered and inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Prayer is more spiritual than physical. It has rules and techniques of engagement, if you must get results. Prayer is a spiritual transaction; exchanges take place as you produce your cause and bring forth your strong reasons (Isaiah 41: 21). This is God's prerequisite for your justification (Isaiah 43: 26). Your justification occurs when you speak back scriptures to God that aligns with His purposes for your life at that point in time. So discernment is key!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

God is committed to answering prayers, but result-oriented prayers must follow specific patterns outlined by God. Learn the requirements and how answers come, so you can have dominion while praying.

Topic: PUT YOUR ANGELS TO WORK (Part 4)!

Memory Verse: "The Test was over. The Devil left. And in his place, angels! Angels came and took care of Jesus’ needs" - Matthew 4:11 MSG

Bible Text: Hebrews 1:14 TPT

14. What role then, do the angels have? The angels are spirit-messengers sent by God to serve those who are going to be saved.

INSPIRATION: Today, we shall look at a very crucial aspect of angelic assignment. Although, they're spirit beings, they can be seen by humans (Genesis 18:2), and you can regulate their operations when you send them on errands. This is not only for pulpit ministers but a reality and privilege every believer can enjoy. Today's believer must desire to operate at this level since there're so many advantages associated with it.

Some of the advantages are that it makes for ease of ministry and overall activities, removes fruitless struggles and delivers results that looks too impossible for human comprehension. Very strange miraculous acts occur when angels swing into action. It is usually an electrifying atmosphere where nothing hinders the moves of the Spirit. When angels back your activities, they take over the wheels of control and ensure God’s plans take executive priority over yours. They superimpose God's will on yours and enforce its performance to the latter.

Angelic manifestation is characterised usually by an outstretch of God's arms that births the miraculous (Acts. 4:30). Under this atmosphere, nothing stays the same. This may look like some fairytales in outlook but in reality, its significance is massively impactful. Angels excel in strength and when they bring their strength to bear in human activities, the results are usually beyond imagination. For instance, it took the angel of the Lord one night to slay one hundred and eighty-five thousand people (2 Kings 19: 35). What a show of strength!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Develop your intimacy with God and be intentionally more spiritually sensitivity to be able to access realms where angels operate from. Desire this reality.

Bible Text: Hebrews 1:14 TPT

14. What role then, do the angels have? The angels are spirit-messengers sent by God to serve those who are going to be saved.

INSPIRATION: If every believer pays keen attention to this question in Hebrews 1: 14, "What role then, do the angels have?" they would do well to maximise the use of their angels. Angels excel in strength by doing the Lord's commandments (Psalm 103: 20). They're alert to respond to whatever God wills, according to The Message Translation; they carry out God's plans (New Living Translation); they're powerful solders who obey God's commands (Easy-to-Read Version); they're mighty heroes who listen intently to God's voice to do it (The Paasion Translation), etc.

The reason angels excel in strength is because they primarily carry out God's agenda backed up by His Word. Knowing this, defines your responsibility: find out God's agenda, then activate angels to enforce same. God does nothing outside the place of His Word. Scriptures describe angels as armies of angels (Message translation), mighty heroes (The Passion Translation), powerful soldiers ( Easy-to-Read Version), all, suggestive of military might. It means you can deploy angels to fight for you.

Elisha prayed God opens the eyes of Gehazi to see those fighting on their side (2 Kings 6: 16 -17). Angels encamp round believers to deliver them (Psalm 34: 7). Don't fight from a disadvantageous "alone" position when angels await your instructions. As powerfully revealing as this truth is, your angels will not fight for you until you invite them to the battle. Their operational parameters are defined - you've to commission them to the task you want them to perform. It's that simple!

Angels are your messengers. Send them errands. You're not alone, powerful angels stand beside you ready to carry out your instructions. Put them to effective use.

I activate and dispatch angels to speedily attend to every area of need in your life. The ministry of angels is supernatural as it is powerfully effective. Supernaturally, they back you up and add extra pep to your effectiveness. Daniel tells us angels bring answers to us from God (Daniel 10:11-13). They reveal God's agenda to man (Luke 1:19). Angels are God's sent envoy to serve those who are going to be saved.

They have their duties cut out for them to save your life from anything and everything that could impact it. But they do not just act. You have to activate, delegate and commission them to action.

Topic: THE POWER OF TRUST (Part 4)

Memory Verse: "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God" - Psalms 20:7 NKJV

Bible Text: Psalms 56:3 NKJV

15. Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.

INSPIRATION: Simple defined, "trust" is, confidence in or reliance on some person or quality. The Psalmist expresses this confidence in God when he said he would trust God when he's afraid. Fear has a very strong grip that erodes confidence, and everyone experiences fear to a varying degree. Be it the fear of success, failure, stage fright or the fear of the unknown, we all get afraid somehow.

The answer to fear is, "But in the day that I’m afraid, I lay all my fears before you and trust in you with all my heart" (Psalm 56:3). Do this always! You can never go wrong when you cast all your cares on Christ and trust Him to come through for you, quell the fears and restore peace to your heart. The flight or freeze mood that follows fear can have nothing on you once you turn to God. Rather, He elevates your perspective and rebuilds your confidence to face them.

As we confidently trust God, He becomes our refuge. The Psalmist say "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in people" (Psalm 118:8). To shatter the grip of fear, especially, in uncertain times such as we are now requires total trust in God. Your strength, knowledge, connections or skills may never deliver at the same level as trusting God would. Trust moves the focus away from you and puts God at the centre stage and steering wheels of your concerns. Trusting God gives you  complete victory in all your troubles (Roman 8:37).

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

When dealing with uncertainties, it is in your best interest to trust God through it. Trusting God increases your confidence level and builds His refuge around you to shield you. In all you do, trust God!

Topic: THE POWER OF TRUST (Part 4)

Memory Verse: "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God" - Psalms 20:7 NKJV

Bible Text: Psalms 56:3 NKJV

15. Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.

INSPIRATION: Simple defined, "trust" is, confidence in or reliance on some person or quality. The Psalmist expresses this confidence in God when he said he would trust God when he's afraid. Fear has a very strong grip that erodes confidence, and everyone experiences fear to a varying degree. Be it the fear of success, failure, stage fright or the fear of the unknown, we all get afraid somehow.

The answer to fear is, "But in the day that I’m afraid, I lay all my fears before you and trust in you with all my heart" (Psalm 56:3). Do this always! You can never go wrong when you cast all your cares on Christ and trust Him to come through for you, quell the fears and restore peace to your heart. The flight or freeze mood that follows fear can have nothing on you once you turn to God. Rather, He elevates your perspective and rebuilds your confidence to face them.

As we confidently trust God, He becomes our refuge. The Psalmist say "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in people" (Psalm 118:8). To shatter the grip of fear, especially, in uncertain times such as we are now requires total trust in God. Your strength, knowledge, connections or skills may never deliver at the same level as trusting God would. Trust moves the focus away from you and puts God at the centre stage and steering wheels of your concerns. Trusting God gives you  complete victory in all your troubles (Roman 8:37).

Memory Verse: "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God" - Psalms 20:7 NKJV

Bible Text: Job 13:15 NKJV

15. Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him.

INSPIRATION: Trust is not a decision of convenience but one made out of a deeply rooted conviction. Job sets the bar so high when he declared, "I will continue to trust God even if he kills me..." (Job 13:15 ERV). He was so emphatic that his trust was not tied to anything he might be benefitting from God. He was willing to die trusting God. What a sweepy testament and a big challenge to our faith profession today. He affirmed God would still be God regardless of his present realities.

He was explicitly avowing that nothing could separate him from the love and trust of God (Rom. 8:35-36). Sarah, Abraham's wife, had judged God faithful to keep to His promise of a child even though she had passed the age of childbearing and had not yet received a token of evidence for the promise (Hebrews 11: 11). What an absolute expression of trust! Should we talk of Abraham who held the belief that God would raise Isaac up from the dead and so was willing to sacrifice his only son? Believers must come to that crucial point in our trust level with God where nothing else matters.

We must affirm our absolute trust in God's power to save us to the uttermost (Hebrews 7:25) like the three Hebrew boys declared (Daniel 3:17-18). Trust is daring and resolute; it stretches one to his limits. It is an affirmative action that is built around the unwavering nature and characteristics of the person or object it is bestowed. What's the characteristic nature of God that is deeply formed in your heart that could make you say like Job, "I will continue to trust God even if he kills me..." (Job 13:15)?

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Absolute trust in God is possible when you develop a passionate resolve that's based on knowledge of His unchanging nature.

PRAYER: O Lord, help me not to only trust You but to affirm same publicly that my trust for you is not affected by anything; I receive grace to live by this conviction always, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/67322292Sun, 10 Aug 2025 17:45:38 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Monday, August 11, 2025 Topic: THE POWER OF TRUST (Part 3)!

Memory Verse: "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God" - Psalms 20:7 NKJV

Bible Text: Proverbs 3:5‭-‬6 NKJV

5. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
6. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

INSPIRATION: It is vain to trust in the arm of flesh, and futile to rely on the power of your weaponry or of technology. Ascribing your victory to your strength or know-how is an unwise move because there're people far stronger and smarter than you who do not enjoy the victories you enjoy even when faced with less fierce battles. The psalmist tells us, "For they did not take the land by their sword — their arm did not bring them victory — but by your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable toward them" (Psalms 44:3 CSB)

Elsewhere, the Psalmist says, "Some find their strength in their weapons and wisdom, but my miracle-deliverance can never be won by men. Our boast is in Yahweh our God, who makes us strong and gives us victory!" (Psalm 20:7 TPT). It is only the name of the Lord that is worth boasting about or remembering in times of trouble. For "The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe" (Proverbs 18:10 NIV).

Our heart can safely and confidently trust in His name. His name has a warranty that does not expire, it carries the potency and authority which everything else recognises and bows to (Philippiabs 2:9-10). Would you rather trust in a name that can't save (Acts 4:12; John 8:36)? Or would you rather trust a name that can't guarantee you access to God (John 14:6)?

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Never form the habit of trusting in vain glory or things that can't come to your help when it matters most. On the contrary, you can put your absolute trust in the Lord God.

5. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
6. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

INSPIRATION: Trust is a very scarce and expensive commodity these days. You cannot expect it from cheap people. A lot of us cannot be trusted with resources, classified information or secrets. Many would divulge at the slightest opportunity or provocation, especially, in this era of social media where it has become so easy and fashionable to call people out once they offend us.

Yet, in all of these, the Psalmist instructs us to trust God with all our hearts! Trust doesn't come easily. It is not what can be demanded but earned over a period of time. Has God earned your trust yet? If I don't trust you, I won't engage in some level of discussion with you; trust is an offshoot of intimacy and confidentiality.

A few things happen when we trust God. Firstly, He takes over the wheels of control, leaving us with nothing to worry about because our understanding is unfruitful (1 Cor. 14:14). Secondly, we get direction as an added advantage, knowing it is not in man to direct his ways (Jere.10: 23; Ps.17: 5). Thirdly, trusting God opens us up to the bigger picture we can leverage on which might never happen with our limited insight

It pays to trust in Jesus. Your trust does not bring Him any benefits but you'd cheat yourself from everything for refusing to trust God. The kind of security alone that you enjoy for trusting in God cannot be found anywhere else.

Memory Verse: "Jesus answered them and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled" - John 6:26 NKJV

Bible Text: Exodus 3:3‭-‬4 NKJV

3. Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.”
4. So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.”

INSPIRATION: Following the aftermath of the miracle of the burning Bush and Jesus' feeding of the multitude, it is obvious that there's more to a miracle than we ascribe to it. A miracle should point you back in the direction of God. As soon as Moses turned aside to see the unconsumed bush, God caught his attention and spoke!

God is still craving our attention today like He did with Moses and the multitude that Jesus fed. That attention is very important to God and it should be more important to you as well. God has nothing to lose if He refuses to give you a miracle but you have everything to lose if you get stuck at the instance of a miracle and couldn't get intimate with God.

Miracles should inspire you to a deeper personal relationship with God; it should drive you to the heart of God, reveal His love and agenda; miracles diffuse the fragrances of God's graces, communicates His mercies in ways that our hearts are smitten and stirred up to seek the Lord; a miracle is God's tool for revival, and an essential reason He implicates you in one. So when next you desire a miracle, have these at the back of your mind as the aftermath.

God still implicates us in a miracle. For us, we may be excited about the miracle but God's focus is using it to get our attention.

When the burning Bush caught the attention of Moses, he turned aside to pay attention to the "more." When he did, God called out to him!

When we fail to discern, we miss God's intentions and start chasing the wrong things like those who came after Jesus because of bread (John 6:26).

INSPIRATION: Jesus said, "...I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says" (Mark 11:23). Until we identify our 'mountain' and  address it, nothing moves. Speak to your situation in faith; address your mountains with the language it cannot resist.

Prayer is not measured by its length or grammatical construct, but in the quality and quantity of faith that we put into it. Faith is measurable! If your prayer is weighed, would it have any trace of faith? Another game changer is genuine worship. Worship moves the heart of God and dethrones the enemy. Genuine heartfelt worship brings God into the equation and stirs up the atmosphere of miracles.

Not a thing can withstand God's presence if it wasn't originally in His plans for your life. God's presence is a major game changer, and worship is the vehicle that conveys it. God still seeks true worshippers today (John 4:23), and you could use it as your game changer to change the dynamics of your life. When was the last time you deployed genuine praise?

PRAYER: O Lord, I receive Your grace to speak to my situations by faith and to offer genuine worship to You in spite of my reality, until my change comes, in Jesus name.]]>135falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-game-changer--67239015 With Emmanuel Afiawari

Topic: THE GAME CHANGER!

Memory Verse: "(As it is written, 'I have made you a father of many nations') in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did" - Romans 4:17 NKJV

Bible Text: 2 Kings 4:26 KJV

26. Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well.

INSPIRATION: Every good and versatile coach studies their game very well and know when to introduce the game-changer in his team that helps them secure the win! As it applies to sporting events, so it does with every other human enterprise, including our faith walk. Unless and until you introduce the deciding factor to the game of your life, nothing changes. You'd just remain at the losing end all your life.

Our bible text presents a fascinating story that gives credence to the above assertion! Was all truly well with this woman and her child? Not at all. Did she lie when she said all was well? That would be a rational conclusion. BUT, she was speaking the end in view, not the situation at present. She called what wasn't as if it were and it became (Romans 4: 17). Hallelujah!

When you speak faith in the face of gloom, you're not being irrational; you're simply introducing the game changer because you understand the dynamics of the Spirit, where faith is the leveler of mountains. So, speak peace over your storm; speak joy over sorrow; speak health over sickness; speak abundance over lack; favour and acceptance over rejection; success over failure. Let faith govern your heart and frame the reality you desire over what is!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Declare your end into reality today! Speak faith and not fear!!

PRAYER: O Lord, please deliver me from idle and careless talk; teach me how to say the right things that are backed up in faith and scriptures, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/67239015Sun, 03 Aug 2025 19:35:12 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Monday, August 4, 2025 Topic: THE GAME CHANGER!

Topic: THE MAKING OF GREAT MEN (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men” - Matthew 4:19 NKJV

Bible Text: John 15:4‭-‬5 NKJV

4. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
5. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

INSPIRATION: Jesus gives us a divine template for how great people are made: He said to follow Him (Matt. 4:19). No one can follow Jesus except they take up His yoke and learn of Him (Matt. 11:29). That is, simply join your life with His, and learn His ways. But you cannot join your life to His or learn His ways unless you first get to be crucified with Him, where you no longer live by the dictates of your flesh but by the inspiration of His Holy Spirit (Gal. 2: 20; Gal. 5: 16).

To follow Jesus is to deny yourself; it is to let go of your leaning to take on His Spirit, teaching, principles and lifestyle. Following Jesus demands huge sacrifices on our part. Taking His yoke and learning of Him looks easy on the surface, but it would pull a lot out of you and deposit so much more within you. Even on a circular stance, anyone who desires to amount to any good in any field of human endeavour has to lean the ropes. Learning the ropes involves meticulous following that enables you study the processes at various levels.

Taking up the Lord's burdens is not for the fainthearted or those who've not covenanted their lives to Him. But the rewards far outweighs the sacrifices. He said, “Follow Me, and I will MAKE YOU..." (Matt. 4:19). He confidently knows and assures us that man can only be made using this divine template. It is either Jesus makes you or you're marred. "If God’s grace doesn’t help the builders, they will labor in vain to build a house..." (Ps 127:1 TPT).

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Following is not necessarily physical but your ability to drink in and assimilate the spirit behind all the person embodies. Don't force it else you'll break in pieces. Simply obey and follow Jesus, if you want to be made. "If God’s grace doesn’t help the builders, they will labor in vain to build a house. If God’s mercy doesn’t protect the city, all the sentries will circle it in vain" (Psalms 127:1 TPT)

PRAYER: O Lord, please give me the wisdom to follow You and the patience to follow through on processes that could guarantee me evolving into greatness in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/67193881Wed, 30 Jul 2025 21:45:10 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Thursday, July 31, 2025 Topic: THE MAKING OF GREAT MEN (Part 2)!

Topic: WISDOM THAT WORKS - BUILDING A STEADFAST LIFE(Part 2)!

Memory Verse: "Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding" - Proverbs 4:7 NKJV

Bible Text: Proverbs 24:3‭-‬4 AMPC

3. Through skillful and godly Wisdom is a house (a life, a home, a family) built, and by understanding it is established [on a sound and good foundation],
4. And by knowledge shall its chambers [of every area] be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

INSPIRATION: Life will test you on all scores, take you through rough storms and make you face fierce battles in your life's journey, and in such moments, the stuff you're made of would surface. It is wisdom that would ensure your ship doesn't sink when life's storm hits you hard. Wisdom is the compass that helps you navigate difficult terrains.

Wisdom teaches you how to put your best foot forward and how or when to refrain from certain course of action. Wisdom deploys objective pragmatism to analyse situations critically. Wisdom is a must have if you aim to win and be distinguished in life. When you lack wisdom, you'd be at the mercy of all kinds of manipulative suggestions that may seem good at the surface but are death traps in disguise.

Wisdom would lead you in the path of peace, help you to see evil and guide you to depart from it. It would help you to hallow what God hallows and instruct you to detest whatever He detests. Wisdom helps you to process knowledge to your level of understanding so you can get established (Prov. 4:17; 24:3).

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

The absence of wisdom is a recipe for disaster, because it elongates your stay in your storm. The absence of wisdom would make you buy into all manner of bondage, lie and manipulation.

3. Through skillful and godly Wisdom is a house (a life, a home, a family) built, and by understanding it is established [on a sound and good foundation],
4. And by knowledge shall its chambers [of every area] be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

INSPIRATION: Wisdom is a genuine tool for building one's life, home, family, career, business, relationship, partnership, etc. Be it acquired (skillful) or divinely inputted, wisdom is a builder of man's enterprise if used rightly. It follows therefore that it can be wrongfully deployed too, in which case, it'd destroy you. Wisdom is simply defined as the right application of knowledge. You're unwise when you fail to apply what you know. Therefore, knowledge is nothing until it is used the right way.

Knowledge is not to be reserved like a souvenir; it is to be deployed creatively in  ways that it exchanges value for you. How wise can a man be who learned a skill for years but can't exchange same for value? Value here, could either be in its impact on others, self or monetary gains to self. Your chambers would be empty of precious and pleasant riches when you fail to diligently and dutifully deploy your skillful and godly wisdom. The responsibility rests squarely on your shoulders to make a living out of your knowledge.

Topic: THE DYNAMICS OF LIGHT (Part 4)!

Memory Verse: "Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light" - Genesis 1:3 NKJV

Bible Text: 2 Corinthians 3:18 NKJV

18. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

INSPIRATION: Reflecting the image of Christ is a progressive action aimed at moving believers from one level of glory to another. It takes light to have a reflection. When the light is beamed on Jesus and we look steadfastly in His direction, our lives take on the image we see. The more we stay focused on Jesus Christ, the more we transform into the reflection that we see. This explains why two people may become saved and born again on the same day in a church but their growth level will vary. You cannot grow beyond how you expose yourself to His light. 

When light beams on an image, it casts a shadow at the other end. Allow the light of Christ to beam on you so you can reflect the perfect image of His person. On a flip side, sick people were healed as Peter's shadow fell on them (Acts 5:15-16). There is nothing supernatural about his shadow other than the fact that he has had a great personal relationship with Christ that the glory of Christ was reflecting through him. You too can manifest great graces in Christ when you allow His light to leave a burning imprint in your heart and spirit. This is the essence of our Christian walk.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Make it a daily duty to expose yourself to the light and person of Jesus Christ, reflect and beam the image of Him you see, and everything in and around you would progressively change.

Memory Verse: "Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light" - Genesis 1:3 NKJV

Bible Text: Matthew 5:14‭-‬15 NKJV

14. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
15. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

INSPIRATION: Light gives visibility. No matter how thick the darkness is, a spark of light is easily recognisable. The impact of such a spark of light can overwhelm the surrounding darkness. Darkness cannot hide light, no matter how hard it tries! Have you ever wondered why a brilliant idea trumps all others? The amount of light concentrated in it has the capacity to dislodge the darkness around the matter.

You're light to the world. You're set apart up high where you cannot hide. Try as hard as you may to hide yourself, something in your silence, your carriage or your poise would give you out. Light doesn't explain itself, it just shines! It gives light to all who are around. The idea your world needs to standout; your team's inspiration; the direction someone needs; the hope, etc, should come from you. That is why you're on their lampstand.

There's so much darkness, confusion and trouble in the world today because believers have refused to beam their light. But it's time to flip the switch on! It's about time to turn on your light wherever you are, and ensure darkness doesn't have a foothold there. No more shall you be put under the basket; no more shall you be obscured and relegated. Shine as light!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

The only response to darkness is to turn on your light and it would flee! Ignorance reigns where knowledgeable men keep quiet. Infiltrate your world with your light daily until you dislodge the darkness around.

PRAYER: O Lord, cause me to know and take my place as light wherever I go. May I be the spark that triggers inspiration, bring illumination and transformation everywhere through Your light within me, in Jesus name. ]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66975868Mon, 14 Jul 2025 16:14:44 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Tuesday, July 15, 2025 Topic: THE DYNAMICS OF LIGHT (Part 3)!

Memory Verse: "Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light" - Genesis 1:3 NKJV

Bible Text: Genesis 1:2 NKJV

2. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

INSPIRATION: Going back to the creation story, we see vividly the dynamics of light and its robust positive effect on creation. Firstly, the earth had no form and it was empty. Then, darkness pervaded the entire space. These and many more are notable fallouts of the absence of light. Where light is absent, everything looks vague, empty, formless; confusion, lack in understanding, disorderliness and absence of direction becomes more evident. People stumble and make uninformed decisions that hurts them whenever light is absent.

Light brings illumination, beauty, and inspiration. It points you in the right path, and reveals or unveils danger ahead; light makes clear grey areas, and facilitates our understanding. It dispels darkness, reveals hidden treasures and guides your usage of your discovery unto profiting. Jesus said no man works in the dark. Darkness limits us but light takes off all such limitations. Light empowers you to make very rightly informed choices, helps you see beyond the veil of deception. With enough light, you'll be able to add structure to your formless and empty world.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Whenever and wherever you experience formlessness, emptiness and darkness in your life, introduce light. Stir up and spark up enough light to dispel your darkness.

PRAYER: O Lord, please give me the grace to release a compelling amount of light into every dark area of my life, in Jesus name. ]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66945503Fri, 11 Jul 2025 15:27:40 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Saturday, July 12, 2025 Topic: THE DYNAMICS OF LIGHT!

It dispels darkness, reveals hidden treasures and guides your usage of your discovery unto profiting. Jesus said no man works in the dark. Darkness limits us but light takes off all such limitations. Light empowers you to make very rightly informed choices, helps you see beyond the veil of deception. With enough light, you'll be able to add structure to your formless and empty world.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Whenever and wherever you experience formlessness, emptiness and darkness in your life, introduce light. Stir up and spark up enough light to dispel your darkness.

PRAYER: O Lord, please give me the grace to release a compelling amount of light into every dark area of my life, in Jesus name. ]]>240falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-dynamics-of-light--66945276 With Emmanuel Afiawari

Topic: THE DYNAMICS OF LIGHT!

Memory Verse: "Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light" - Genesis 1:3 NKJV

Bible Text: Genesis 1:2 NKJV

2. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

INSPIRATION: Going back to the creation story, we see vividly the dynamics of light and its robust positive effect on creation. Firstly, the earth had no form and it was empty. Then, darkness pervaded the entire space. These and many more are notable fallouts of the absence of light. Where light is absent, everything looks vague, empty, formless; confusion, lack in understanding, disorderliness and absence of direction becomes more evident. People stumble and make uninformed decisions that hurts them whenever light is absent.

Topic: THE MAKING OF GREAT MEN (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men” - Matthew 4:19 NKJV

Bible Text: John 15:4‭-‬5 NKJV

4. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
5. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

INSPIRATION: Jesus gives us a divine template for how great people are made: He said to follow Him (Matt. 4:19). No one can follow Jesus except they take up His yoke and learn of Him (Matt. 11:29). That is, simply join your life with His, and learn His ways. But you cannot join your life to His or learn His ways unless you first get to be crucified with Him, where you no longer live by the dictates of your flesh but by the inspiration of His Holy Spirit.

To follow Jesus is to deny yourself; it is to let go of your leaning to take on His Spirit, teachings, principles and lifestyle. Following Jesus demands huge sacrifices on our part. Taking His yoke and learning of Him looks easy on the surface, but it would pull a lot out of you and deposit so much more within you. Taking up the Lord's burdens is not for the fainthearted or those who've not covenanted their lives to Him. But the rewards far outweighs the sacrifices.

He said, “Follow Me, and I will MAKE YOU..." (Matt. 4:19). He confidently knows and assures us that man can only be made using this divine template. It is either Jesus makes you or you're marred. "If God’s grace doesn’t help the builders, they will labor in vain to build a house..." (Ps 127:1 TPT). We must reckon that God knows what's best for us. He makes us fit into that perfect frame that best suits our purpose. Knowing this will take away a lot of our self efforts, especially, in the wrong direction.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Following is not necessarily physical but your ability to drink in and assimilate the spirit behind all the person embodies. Don't force it else you'll break in pieces. Simply obey and follow Jesus, if you want to be made. "If God’s grace doesn’t help the builders, they will labor in vain to build a house. If God’s mercy doesn’t protect the city, all the sentries will circle it in vain" (Psalms 127:1 TPT).

5. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

INSPIRATION: Having successfully detailed the dichotomy between a broke and broken person with several examples, we shall now focus on the making of great men. Greatness in God's kingdom and in life generally begins with what you're willing to learn, do or forgo. Jesus prescribes what is required of us: firstly, follow Him; secondly, abide in Him and He in us. You cannot abide in whom you've not followed. You cannot gain mastery of a process, system or its structure, if you've not dutifully followed its prescribed rules. All great institutions are products of processes.

Your journey starts with following. The more you follow closely, the deeper you understand the need to abide until you're grounded enough to bear much fruits. Your fruits are a testament as to how made you are. That's God's measuring yardstick. So if you claim to be great, the verifying proof would be your fruits. Fruitfulness happens when the right knowledge is deployed. You can't acquire the skills and knowledge to be fruitful from 'afar;' you've to follow very closely. You have to either abide or remain incapable of doing nothing.

Skyscrapers do not just emerge. For whatever you do, follow due processes if you want to be made. More importantly, follow and abide in Jesus to guarantee your fruitfulness.

Topic: A BROKEN VESSEL - THE GLORY OF DIFFERENCE (Part 3)!

Memory Verse: "...As He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head" - Mark 14:3 NKJV

Bible Text: 2 Timothy 2:20‭-‬21 NKJV

20. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor.
21. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.

INSPIRATION: Our focus today is centred on Apostle Paul statement, "There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory" (1 Cor 15:41). Believers must learn to appreciate and celebrate their differences, and not try to be similar. Your difference makes you unique; it adds beauty to your life. Your difference to others doesn't make you of less value, it establishes your uniqueness.

Carry yourself with dignity, knowing how valuably different you are. Stop feeling inadequate in comparison to others. A broke person dwells on comparison and strives towards similarity, and so misses very unique opportunities to leverage on his differences as his unique selling point. A broken person, on the other hand, could weave intricate and strategic partnerships by harnessing the potentials of persons different from him to forge ahead.

Where such a synergy as described above exists, the beauty and successes that come with it are beyond description. Their differing glories build up into a beautifully colourful edifice of glory. Believers must learn to celebrate their differences and explore the opportuunities to advance that comes with it. You don't have to lose your uncommon difference trying to be like others. That's inferiority complex and the worst kind of self-debasement and deprecation.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

See the below scriptures about the danger of comparison. Then, decide if you're wise or not: "For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise" (2 Corinthians 10:12 NKJV).

INSPIRATION: Jeremiah 18:4 paints for us the picture of a vessel that got spoilt in the hands of the potter as he worked it. Quickly, he made it into another vessel. Since it was not yet set in its form but still malleable or flexible, it could still be made into another vessel. Once it was formed or set, it was difficult to remould or reshape it.

Most broke people are set in their ways and cannot accommodate new learning. They're undiscerning, argumentative, rigid, and full of complaint. At best, they become ardvent pessimists who know the prices of everything and the value of nothing. They prefer procrastinating to taking initiative. Unlike a broke person, a broken vessel, could be likened to soft clay in the hands of a Potter that can be reshaped.

A broken person is malleable, able to channel his pains and loses into objects of worship, converting them into instruments for his healing. He knows how to use his brokenness to ascend into God's presence and create atmospheres of many possibilities. He is discerning, teachable, and approachable. He may accept to be sustained by alms until he finds his feet, but would never take such gestures as his entitlement, the way a broke person would. He's more focused on what God makes out of his brokenness unlike the broke guy who can't see farther.

21. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.

INSPIRATION: As a continuation from our yesterday's illustration from Mark 14: 3 about being broken in the place of worship, we must establish that being broke is not same as being broken. Someone can be broke but not broken, same way someone can be broken yet not broke. To be broke, on the one hand, is to lack money to spend, while to be broken, on the other hand, is to have a sobering disposition towards God.

Some broke people have a sense of entitlement, they make unnecessary and unreasonable demands of others as if it is their rights; broken people approach from a sense of enjoying privileges they're not entitled to. Broken people understand what mercy means; they know life could have taken them out but for mercy! Psalm 32:1-2 aptly described a broken person and called them blessed: "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit."

A broken person is conscious that the just wage for his life was judgment but mercy covered for them. These kind of people do not approach before God anyhow but genuine worship is their lifestyle. A broken person lays everything bare before God, and draws strength from Him. They're not complicated, neither are they confused about what life is about or what they're doing. Their brokenness makes them more temperate, sensitive and discerning. Truly broken people become great assets after clearing the vagueness and lack of clarity.

Being broke carries no glory but leaves you as a vessel of dishonour. But God wants you to be cleansed, sanctified and useful for Him, prepared for every good work. But the responsibility of purging yourself is yours to make and cannot be delegated.

6. So the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float.

INSPIRATION: Mark 14: 3 tells the story of a certain woman who broke her box of Alabaster oil as a sign of her worship to Jesus. It was recorded that the cost was like a year's salary. However our focus is not on the cost but on the action. Until she broke it, the fragrance did not come out; until we're broken, our worship is not released; until we're broken, our fragrance in worship will not ascend.

Worship is more than a song we sing, it is an action portraying our yieldedness and submission to the Lordship of Christ. If Christ is not at the centre of your worship, you've not truly worshipped. Until she dropped the box, it did break; until it broke, the fragrance wasn't released. God wants us broken (Ps. 51:17; 34:18) so we can release ourselves wholly unto Him.

When she broke the box, she broke with it her fears, her insecurities, her addictions, her low self-esteem, her faulty paradigms, her unbelief, her unfaithfulness, her poverty, her inadequacies, tendencies and proclivities, etc; everything that casts a shadow on her true identity got broken as she broke the box. True worship stems from a broken spirit, it releases you from strongholds and stranglehold intended to keep you away from accessing God.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Jericho walls and prison chains still break today in the place of genuine worship. You want your fragrance released? Then offer true worship, and watch God move your mountains.

PRAYER: O Lord, please deliver me from offering You cosmeticised worship; may my worship cost me everything but You, may it be one that flows from a broken heart that is willing to drop everything to gain You, in Jesus name, Amen.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66870708Sat, 05 Jul 2025 20:04:32 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Sunday, July 6, 2025 Topic: DROP SOME STICKS (Part 6)!

INSPIRATION: Exodus 7:8-13 tells us a story of God's instructions to Moses and Aaron to do miracles with Aaron's rod by throwing it down before Pharaoh so it could turn into a snake. Even though Pharaoh's magicians tried to counterfeit the miracle, God still reigned supreme by ensuring their rods were swallowed up by Aaron's.

You may never know what God might require you to cast down for your big miracle, just be sensitive and obedient: for Aaron, it was his rod; for Peter, he was to cast his net into the deep (Luke 5:1-8).  As it was in Aaron's case, whatever God inspires you to cast down will swallow up anything that rises to challenge you. Any form of opposition would be drowned in the sea of your victory.

God will raise a new strategy by your obedience to deal a bloodied nose to the enemy like He did through Aaron's rod and through Jesus's death. The enemy will be striped of his glory as God begins to act in your favour to embarrass them. Evil strategies would fail before you; your little efforts would deliver super-amazing results when you become sensitive and obedient enough to cast down your rod at God's command.

INSPIRATION: God's ways are not known or defined by parameters set by man. Anyone who restricts his experiences of God to a particular pattern, cheats himself. Jesus encounters a man born blind in John 9:1-7. The cause of his blindness was not of primary concern to Jesus and he refused to be drawn into such a debate.

He healed him without following the usual routine of laying on of hands or making a decree. He simply spat on the ground, made clay and rubbed it on the eyes with specific instruction to go wash at the pool of Saloam to receive his sight. Few things are worthy of note here: firstly, bad situations are occasions to manifest the works of God. This must be our priority too.

Secondly, time is of the essence; we do not have the luxury of all the time to make impact. Do not postpone divine moments. Thirdly, beam your light to your the world like Jesus did. Fourthly, God still uses foolish things to birth testimonies; He used spittle to recover a man's sight. Fifthly, obedience is key to the miraculous - the man obeyed. Lastly, Jesus dropped His spittle to get him healed. Are there things you're willing to drop to see the glory of God?

6. So the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float.

INSPIRATION: The book of 2 Kings 2:19-22 presents another bad event turned good by the leading of God's Spirit upon Elisha. The ground was barren, and the only source of water in town was bad too. Whilst the people complained to Elisha, he didn't join in their despair. Believers must know how to act differently at all times and not join the reactionary bandwagon. He took salt and dropped it at the source of the river, and spoke to the situation.

Not only did the salt turn the taste of the water, it also healed the ground. Was it not just salt, you ask? Jesus points us to our real identity when He said, “You are the salt of the earth..." (Matt. 5:13). By implication, you're to add taste, heal bad situations and preserve the future. You're empowered to speak peace and add grace to unfavourable conditions and see to its change. When Elisha dropped salt, things changed.

Do you still retain your properties as 'Salt'? Can we add you to flavour a bad situation until it becomes sweet again? Elisha went to the source of the water, puts salt into it and said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘I have healed this water; from it there shall be no more death or barrenness'" (2 Kgs 2:21). What can you learn from this? How would you address ugly situations that confront you going forward?

INSPIRATION: One thing we can never outwit God in, is the fact that He's the Master Architect, who always deal a masterstroke to bad situations in our lives. Over 400yrs of captivity ended on a great note for the Isrealites whom God rewarded with silver and gold of Egypt and ensured they didn't leave empty (Exo.12:35-36). The thing about sticks is that it is not what you manufacture on your own but God's idea, an inspiration or instruction from Him that changes the game in your favour. All the notable miracles from Moses's rod were at the instance of God!

God will give you an idea or inspiration that would swallow all the rods of magicians, part your red sea, bring water from your rock, and cause total recovery. When you trade in or drop His idea in your situation, it would cause your iron to float. Drop His idea like a stick and you'll never run out of supply of resources (2 Kgs. 4:1-7). When it is about deploying His idea, there's always a supernatural release of anointing that amplifies the results from your tiny efforts provided it was done in obedience. Hence, Elisha dropped ordinary sticks but the lost axe head came floating out. Hallelujah!

When you suffer loses, what is usually your first line of action? Here, all his investments and vested interests got lost where it seemed impossible to ever recover it. What a great tragedy that was! When life hits you so hard, you must have someone you can run to who looks out for you. Elisha didn't scold him like many of us would; he swung into action and did the unexpected! He cut a stick and threw it right where the axehead fell.

Real lasting solution goes back to the roots or origin of a problem. Right that minute, the axehead floated! Can I announce to you that it's time to drop some sticks that would float and recover your loses! Your sticks here, is symbolic of a divine prompting, an inspired conviction to act in certain ways, whether conventional or otherwise. Be sure to have a clear lead, and watch God float your iron!

Topic: CONQUERING OBSCURITY (Part 4)!

Memory Verse: "But the moment one turns to the Lord with an open heart, the veil is lifted and they see" - 2 Corinthians 3:16 TPT

Bible Text: Isaiah 25:7 AMP

7. And on this mountain He will destroy the covering that is [cast] over all peoples, and the veil [of death] that is woven and spread over all the nations.

INSPIRATION: The wise man said, "I have seen servants on horses, while princes walk on the ground like servants" (Eccl 10:7). This is a typical experience of men who have been placed in obscurity. When logic stands in its head to frustrate you, and the normal sequence of events is breached to deny you what you're due, it is instructive to know you're being outwitted and manipulated out of your rights. King Solomon calls it an evil error (Eccl. 10:5).

It follows therefore that obscurity is targeted at causing you to experience evil errors that shortchanges you constantly. But God does not approve for anyone to be shortchanged (Lam.3:36). For this reason, Mephibosheth, Saul's grandson, was sent for by David and shown kindness (2 Sam. 9: 1-13). When life obscures you, it affects your psyche - Mephibosheth saw himself as a dead dog! Obscurity makes you feel forgotten, deprived and your faultlines accentuated to disqualify you from help.

Mephibosheth's deformity - he was lame in his feet (2 Sam. 9:3) - was reported to David to discourage and disqualify him. I decree and cancel every evil report against you to disqualify and obscure you from God's favour and man's help. It becomes of no effect whatsoever, in Jesus name. Any evil conspiracy to pull you down becomes your springboard to greater heights. The more evil of you they speak, the more your virtues shine through. Favour beckons on all sides that cancels every dark report and evil premeditation, in Jesus name, Amen!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Memory Verse: "But the moment one turns to the Lord with an open heart, the veil is lifted and they see" - 2 Corinthians 3:16 TPT

Bible Text: Isaiah 25:7 AMP

7. And on this mountain He will destroy the covering that is [cast] over all peoples, and the veil [of death] that is woven and spread over all the nations.

INSPIRATION: The wise man said, "I have seen servants on horses, while princes walk on the ground like servants" (Eccl 10:7). This is a typical experience of men who have been placed in obscurity. When logic stands in its head to frustrate you, and the normal sequence of events is breached to deny you what you're due, it is instructive to know you're being outwitted and manipulated out of your rights. King Solomon calls it an evil error (Eccl. 10:5).

It follows therefore that obscurity is targeted at causing you to experience evil errors that shortchanges you constantly. But God does not approve for anyone to be shortchanged (Lam.3:36). For this reason, Mephibosheth, Saul's grandson, was sent for by David and shown kindness (2 Sam. 9: 1-13). When life obscures you, it affects your psyche - Mephibosheth saw himself as a dead dog! Obscurity makes you feel forgotten, deprived and your faultlines accentuated to disqualify you from help.

Mephibosheth's deformity - he was lame in his feet (2 Sam. 9:3) - was reported to David to discourage and disqualify him. I decree and cancel every evil report against you to disqualify and obscure you from God's favour and man's help. It becomes of no effect whatsoever, in Jesus name. Any evil conspiracy to pull you down becomes your springboard to greater heights. The more evil of you they speak, the more your virtues shine through. Favour beckons on all sides that cancels every dark report and evil premeditation, in Jesus name, Amen!

Memory Verse: "But the moment one turns to the Lord with an open heart, the veil is lifted and they see" - 2 Corinthians 3:16 TPT

Bible Text: Isaiah 25:7 AMP

7. And on this mountain He will destroy the covering that is [cast] over all peoples, and the veil [of death] that is woven and spread over all the nations.

INSPIRATION: One aim of keeping you in obscurity is to see that your star gets dim, your glory lacks the attraction it deserves, so the destinies tied to yours would suffer. Since every great destiny carries a star, Satan would fight so hard to stop your shine. He tried with the life of Moses when Pharaoh ordered the killing of all male infants born to the Israelites. Same way Herod sought the life of Jesus at birth. His plan was to kill them so as to leave the generations they came to deliver in obscurity.

As a deliverer of your generation, the enemy would come at you in full force and at all costs. His efforts, notwithstanding, Jesus's star had to attract wise men, men of means when other stars existed. We must realise that Satan would never come at you with so much force if there're no great destinies tied to yours. If the stakes are so high like it was with Moses and Jesus, he would do everything to ensure your star never shines.

In other words, your battles, most times, are not about you but the destinies that are tied to your purpose. This is why you must never allow anything to obscure your light from shining. Never! In Matthew 26: 31, Jesus reechoes the thoughts of Zachariah, "Strike the shepherd, the sheep will scatter" (Zach. 13: 7). When the enemy comes hard after the shepherd, it is about the destinies that could have been shaped, delivered and helped through him. Let this consciousness influence how you allow yourself shine or be obscured.

Bible Text: Isaiah 25:7 AMP

7. And on this mountain He will destroy the covering that is [cast] over all peoples, and the veil [of death] that is woven and spread over all the nations.

INSPIRATION: When you're obscured, a shadow of darkness is cast over you that makes you easily unrecognisable and forgettable. You may put in all the effort but get no recognition or reward. Rather, what's due you could be passed over to someone else who didn't labour for it or deserve it. Mordecai comes to mind here. The reward for his diligence in the Palace passed over to Herman, an enemy of the Jews. Call it manipulation or whatever, it still points us to the fact that Mordecai was obscured.

In our workplaces, we see this occur always - someone works so hard but others get rewarded with promotion and recognition. But a day came, Mordecai was remembered! The covering cast had been shattered and enough light could penetrate and beam in his direction. When you generate enough light, all eyes would be on you, your level of visibility would increase, so would your impact.

Light reveals what's been hidden over time; it unveils your hidden treasures, talents and potentials. Light doesn't only expose you to your inherent possibilities but also exposes you to people destined to help you achieve and become more. Until light exposed Mordecai, he didn't get his well-deserved recognition. Light here, could be literal or figurative. Only those with sinister intent walk in the dark. You're a citizen of light. Turn on the floodlights of inspiration on your path so the world can recognise you. Flip the switch on now!

Bible Text: Isaiah 25:7 AMP

7. And on this mountain He will destroy the covering that is [cast] over all peoples, and the veil [of death] that is woven and spread over all the nations.

INSPIRATION: Dictionary defines obscurity as 'to live in darkness; the absence of light; it is the state of being unknown; it is the quality of being difficult to understand.' How do you deal with obscurity? How do you handle situations where you seem left in the dark, devoid of access to the right information, privileges and opportunities? Have you ever felt your time hasn't come when you watch great opportunities pass you by or you see others enjoying the dividends of what you all worked for?

These are concerns we want to address in this series. Oftentimes, it is not ordinary to bypass or forget people. Yet, it does happen. Isaiah says God will destroy the covering that is cast over all peoples (Isa. 25:7). It means a veil exists that walls you in and covers you up from being accessed even when you manifest great skills and results. He said the veil is woven and spread over the nations, and this points us to the fact that coincidences do not exist.

Do not explain away your mysteries and miseries where you should take up arms in warfare against the enemy. The first and best way to deal with obscurity is to turn to Christ because "The moment one turns to the Lord with an open heart, the veil is lifted and they see" (2 Cor 3:16 TPT). You've got to turn on your lights or gravitate towards light to create visibility. You've got to resist every that makes you and your potentials irrecognisable. Why should you be so talented a performer yet under-appreciated? King Solomon says it is an error (Eccl. 10: 5)!

Memory Verse: "The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed" - Genesis 2:8 NKJV

Bible Text: 1 Samuel 30:11‭, ‬15‭ NKJV

11. Then they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David; ...
15. And David said to him, “Can you take me down to this troop?” So he said, “Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me ...and I will take you down to this troop.”

INSPIRATION: Two other crucial themes worth emphasising on in this series today are the issues of timing and our ability to harness resources. Timing is critical to our results. For instance, a woman would need to explore her fertility timing if she must get pregnant. When you do not understand the divine timing of events, you may never seize your moment of glory. God always positions people in our lives within certain time pockets. Your failure to utilise the windows of such divine timing well, may lead to endless regrets.

David sensed the timing of his discovery and the presence of the Egyptian correctly and harnessed both effectively. You cannot harness the human resources and opportunities you haven't given due recognition to. Sadly, many today, would rather exploit opportunities and milk the people providence gifts them for a short-lived benefit. That's what small minds do - milk their contacts instead of nourishing them into something more fruitful and rewarding for the future.

There're great opportunities in people, although some of these people may be dressed in attires that conceal their true worth. If David had seen only a wounded and abandoned Egyptian, he would have missed the lifetime opportunity of a strategic information that aided his cause. There're opportunities, scarcely relevant information hidden in people who cross our path. Your ability to see beyond the facade of their 'ordinariness,' discern and harness these resources, will be to your greatest advantage.

In the light of that, may I suggest that some persons come into our lives as brigdes or access to connect us to what we need for our next big move. These people know someone who is critical to our next move, and putting a good word on your behalf as reommendation can unlock great doors.

We need these recommendations every once in a while, and the bridge between where you are and where you're going is locked up in men. God plants certain people in your life to act as Compass, to guide you aright in making favourable choices. They're custodians of secrets and vital information that would determine your trajectory.

The wounded Egyptian gave David the most important piece of information which helped him to discover the enemy and recover all they plundered. We suffer the most and delay our victory when we're ignorant or bereft of the right information. Despising the direction the people divinely positioned in our lives give can birth grave outcomes.

These people know someone who is critical to our next move, and putting a good word on your behalf as reommendation can unlock great doors.

We need these recommendations every once in a while, and the bridge between where you are and where you're going is locked up in men. God plants certain people in your life to act as Compass, to guide you aright in making favourable choices. They're custodians of secrets and vital information that would determine your trajectory.

The wounded Egyptian gave David the most important piece of information which helped him to discover the enemy and recover all they plundered. We suffer the most and delay our victory when we're ignorant or bereft of the right information. Despising the direction the people divinely positioned in our lives give can birth grave outcomes.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Between where you are now and where you're going to, is a separating valley that can only be bridged by people, with their networks of connections and information. Learn the habit of strategic synergy, be nice and welcoming to people sent by God into your space.

PRAYER: O Lord, please fill my life with people with the right information and connections I need to advance in the direction of my destiny, and help me to be receptive to such vital information, in Jesus name.]]>587falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/planted-by-god-positioned-for-exploit--66710733 With Emmanuel Afiawari

Topic: PLANTED BY GOD, POSITIONED FOR EXPLOIT!

Memory Verse: "The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed" - Genesis 2:8 NKJV

Bible Text: 1 Samuel 30:11‭, ‬15‭ NKJV

11. Then they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David; ...
15. And David said to him, “Can you take me down to this troop?” So he said, “Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me ...and I will take you down to this troop.”

INSPIRATION: God plants people in our lives for strategic and specific reasons, just like He planted a garden eastward of Eden and strategically placed Adam in it. There're never coincidences with God, although our ignorance or limitations in understanding of His ways may make us think otherwise. Adam was to dress and keep the garden. In like manner, the people who come into our lives have a dual role of dressing and keeping us; they're assigned by God to play very key roles in making us whom and what He destined us to be.

God plants men in our lives for strategic interventions. Our ability to discern those sent to us and their assignments in our lives is pivotal to our success or failure. It is insensitive and disadvantageous to see all men as the same. When we despise the unique gifts and graces of men, we deny ourselves of their unique and strategic services. God put man in the Garden for a reason, same way He strategically puts people in our space to act as bridges to our next big breakthrough.

Hence, a wounded Egyptian became instrumental to David's total recovery. Had David not discerned the man correctly, he might have abandoned or killed him, and in so doing, the prophesy of total recovery would never have happened. What comes to our mind when we meet people? What can we learn from David's example of how to treat people, especially, people who may appear insignificantly able to offer us help?

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Realise everyone is unique and so is their purpose in your life. Be senstive to discern your contacts so their value proposition can be better maximised. If you undermine the roles of strategic interventions, you'll toil and turn rounds in circles to achieve what could have come with so much ease.

PRAYER: O Lord, please open my eyes to discover the people you've strategically put in my life per time and give me the grace and wisdom to maximise the opportunities and relationships to Your glory, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66710733Mon, 23 Jun 2025 18:52:14 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Tuesday, June 24, 2025 Topic: PLANTED BY GOD, POSITIONED FOR EXPLOIT!

Topic: IDENTITY & BEHAVIOURAL ETIQUETTE (Part 4)!

Memory Verse: "But if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth" - 1Timothy 3:15 NKJV

Bible Text: Leviticus 18:2‭-‬3 NKJV

2. “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘I am the Lord your God.
3. According to the doings of the land of Egypt, where you dwelt, you shall not do; and according to the doings of the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, you shall not do; nor shall you walk in their ordinances.

INSPIRATION: Professionals in certain categories of human endeavour have their language or professional jargon by which they communicate and express meaning. Sometimes, it only takes an insider and fellow profession to decode what they say. As it is with speaking, so it is with dressing in those fields. Unless you speak the language and dress the part, you cannot function effectively. You now belong to a sect that defines the parameters of your language usage and dress code. You can no longer use profane, obscene and uncouth verbiage. Never. Your words must be filled with grace and seasoned with salt (Col. 4: 6).

As a professional, there're codes of ethics that guide your profession. A violation may attract sanctions, depending on the degree or severity of violation. Some cases attract a revocation of operating licence. This tells us the seriousness of our identity and our behavioral etiquette. You cannot pick and choose how you behave; it is laid down for you. Just as a prince or princess learns the etiquette of royalty, you've a lot of learning, relearning and unlearning to do and adopt.

Talking about sanctions, you could also be penalised for fragrant violations of rule that govern your operating system. "He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him" (Eccl. 10:8). Whenever violations on your ethics occur, you break the hedge. It's high time you understood you ain't ordinary or accidental; it's time to take your identity seriously and not act like every other person out there (Lev. 18: 3).

INSPIRATION: Paul's argument, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Cor. 5:17), sets the tune for today's devotionals.

You cannot run the new package on obsolete softwares; you cannot operate the ideologies, principles and philosophies of the old system and expect a different result. In this new order, we live by faith, not be sight (Rom. 1: 17; Heb. 10: 38). Here, we're governed by love, not hate. Boldness rule over fear; sound mind over insecurities of low self-esteem (2 Tim. 1: 7).

Paul says further, "When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me" (1 Cor 13:11). Now is the time to begin manifesting your new identity. Consciously remind yourself who you are and behave in ways that align to your identity. Disrupt the old order by asserting the authority and authenticity of your new identity. Disband mediocrity in embrace of excellence. Let the king in you be seen and felt. Give life and colourful impetus to the things you do!

You're a genius; act smart! You're a giant killer; quit being obscured. You're light; refuse to be overshadowed by darkness. You're salt; add flavour to a tasteless and bland world. The world eagerly awaits your manifestation (Rom. 8: 19); may they not wait in vain or be disappointed at your showing. Stop living below your means for all the deposits of graces and potentials God has endowed you with, and coupled with your trainings and exposure in life.

3. According to the doings of the land of Egypt, where you dwelt, you shall not do; and according to the doings of the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, you shall not do; nor shall you walk in their ordinances.

INSPIRATION: Every now and again, God makes us know He's bringing us into a new phase of life with new experiences. He says, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! ..." (Isa. 43:18‭-‬19). New products come with new manuals. Oftentimes, when you try to operate your new gadgets using your old knowledge, they either do not work or they malfunction. So it is also with our journey with God.

Paul says, "If I delay in coming, you ought to know how to behave yourself...," meaning there's a new way to behave as you climb up the ladder of life. Paul says further, "When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me" (1 Cor 13:11). This explains God's instructions through Moses, "You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices" (Levi 18:3 NIV).

There're old behaviours or practices that will not sit well with your new identity! You cannot copy your past into your future, or bring the prevalent conduct of your new environment into your future. You'll have to follow a blueprint unique to your personal relationship with God. Your new status confers on you a new way of thinking and acting so you can maximise the graces of this new level to deliver results. This is not being prideful but being conscious of what behaviour your new status demands of you and carrying yourself with such graces.

Topic: BLOODLINE PATTERNS - INVESTMENTS (Part 6)!

Memory Verse: They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham - John 8:39 NKJV

Bible Text: Leviticus 17:11 NLT

11. For the life of the body is in its blood. I have given you the blood on the altar to purify you, making you right with the Lord. It is the blood, given in exchange for a life, that makes purification possible.

INSPIRATION: Today's edition on this series, focuses on Abraham's business investments; Isaac's redigging the wells, and sowing in the land; Jacob's streak and spotted animals; and Joseph's business idea. The bible records, "Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold" (Gen.13:2). You don't become "rich" unless you're a wise business investor. That's why the bible says, "Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him" (Gen 26:12).

To sow is to invest; it is to do business with your seed. Jacob on the other hand, put in 14yrs of investment to get married, and developed an agricultural business model of rearing streak and spotted animals (Gen.30:39) that is still in use today. Many of us cannot differentiate between our seeds and our harvests; we do not understand the dynamics and importance of investments. We would rather consume our seeds and hope, mostly in vain, as if hope is a business strategy.

Joseph models the seed and harvest dichotomy in his wise counsel to Pharaoh (Gen.41:33-36). He invested the excess harvest wisely so Egypt had supplies for the next 7yrs. He traded grains for money and increased Pharaoh's capital. There must be something about investments that transferred from Abraham to his bloodline that's beyond the covenant. That's why Isaac could ask about the lamb for the sacrifice (Gen.22:7), and could dig the wells again (Gen.26:18). Is there any positive family traits that have been passed on to you? How have you handled it?

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Do no make assumptions in business and life's investments. Take investment's lessons from those who've gone ahead of you and made a slice of success in the various fields where your interests lie. Do not become a prodigious investment liability to God for all He has freely made available to you.

PRAYER: O Lord, please help me to be a wise investor of the deposits of graces I've been endowed with.

Topic: BLOODLINE PATTERNS - INVESTMENTS (Part 6)!

Memory Verse: They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham - John 8:39 NKJV

Bible Text: Leviticus 17:11 NLT

11. For the life of the body is in its blood. I have given you the blood on the altar to purify you, making you right with the Lord. It is the blood, given in exchange for a life, that makes purification possible.

INSPIRATION: Today's edition on this series, focuses on Abraham's business investments; Isaac's redigging the wells, and sowing in the land; Jacob's streak and spotted animals; and Joseph's business idea. The bible records, "Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold" (Gen.13:2). You don't become "rich" unless you're a wise business investor. That's why the bible says, "Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him" (Gen 26:12).

To sow is to invest; it is to do business with your seed. Jacob on the other hand, put in 14yrs of investment to get married, and developed an agricultural business model of rearing streak and spotted animals (Gen.30:39) that is still in use today.

Topic: BLOODLINE PATTERNS!

Memory Verse: So all who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith. (Galatians 3:9 NLT)

Bible Text: Leviticus 17:11 NLT

11. For the life of the body is in its blood. I have given you the blood on the altar to purify you, making you right with the Lord. It is the blood, given in exchange for a life, that makes purification possible.

INSPIRATION: Today, we're starting a new and exciting series titled, "Bloodline Patterns," which will run for a couple of days. We shall be looking at some critical features in the life of Abraham that ran through his lineage. The aim is to help us compare and contrast these features with our own family bloodline, with a view to drawing some important lessons that would help us to prayerfully shape our future and walk with God.

For a start, Abraham believed God (Gen 15:6; Rom 4:3; James 2:23). Then, Isaac believed God and acted in faith (Heb. 11:20-21); Isaac also believed God and prayed for his barren wife (Gen. 25:21). Then Jocob heard God and named the place Bethel (Gen. 35:15). These patterns are not just coincidental. There are no coincidences with God. You either walk in faith or in unbelief, and the end results of each of these walk defines our outcome.

Abraham's faith transcends generations, and I believe he handed same to Isaac as a tradition, which was also passed on to Jacob. What's the predominant bloodline pattern that has shaped your walk with God and aspirations in life? What are some notable and traceable bloodline patterns in your family that are manifest in your life and helping to shape outcomes? Are they negative or positive, and they things you may want to reinforce or discard if need be?

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Bloodlines often determine our trajectory in life. Paying keen attention to key bloodline patterns, either of family or a sect you belong to, may be the deciding matrix around which your life revolves. Then, you can cultivate a noticeable pattern you desire or break free from one you disapprove of. Therefore pay attention, and with it, dare to believe like faithful Abraham.

PRAYER: O Lord, help me to keenly pay attention to reoccurring family patterns by which my life is shaped, and give me the grace to change the bad ones while sustaining the good ones, in Jesus's name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66550467Fri, 13 Jun 2025 16:21:51 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Thursday, June 12,  2025 Topic: BLOODLINE PATTERNS!

Memory Verse: They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham - John 8:39 NKJV

11. For the life of the body is in its blood. I have given you the blood on the altar to purify you, making you right with the Lord. It is the blood, given in exchange for a life, that makes purification possible.

INSPIRATION: There's yet another feature that ran through Abraham’s, Isaac's, and Jacob's lives respectively. Each of them experienced delay in child birth that lasted several years. Abraham and Sarah waited for 25yrs to birth Isaac; Isaac and Rebecca waited for 20yrs to have Esau and Jacob (Gen. 25:21-28); and Rachel, Jacob's wife was barren for about 18yrs (Gen. 29:31; 30:22).

You cannot tell or know the agony of these families but one thing was certain, a pattern of bloodline was being repeatedly perpetuated. When hope is deferred, the heart gets sick (Prov. 13:12), and despair sets it. How was it that in spite of God's covenant with Abraham, barrenness loomed large in his bloodline? Whilst it is established that God doesn't give us evil (James 1:17), He can use all such evil experiences to gift us the most pleasant surprises (Gen. 50:20; Rom. 8:28).

Barrenness is a subversion of God's will which He doesn't approve of (Lam.3:36; Exo. 23:26). God expects us to confront and counter all forms of delay in our lives with prayers. Change the dynamics and occurrences of events in your life on your knees with your decree (Dan. 4:17). You have the power in the name of Jesus to permit or forbid a certain order of things in your life (Matt. 18:18 NLT). Use it!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

You should never live and leave your life to chance. Observe and discern when things are going out of sequence and stand on your watch with your decree. Delays may derail your life's purposes when you fail to order the course of events as it should be (Job 38:12).

11. For the life of the body is in its blood. I have given you the blood on the altar to purify you, making you right with the Lord. It is the blood, given in exchange for a life, that makes purification possible.

INSPIRATION: Today, we shall consider another feature of Abraham’s life that ran into Isaac's and Jacob's. Abraham lied about his wife's identity (Gen. 20:2). When he lied, he sowed a seed that germinated in Isaac, who also lied about his wife (Gen. 26:7,9), and this germinated seed produced to its fullest in Jacob, who lied to secure his father's blessing (Gen. 27:19-20, 24).

Notice that whilst Abraham and Isaac lied to get away from a difficult situation, Jacob lied to secure a future that could have come to him anyways by divine orchestration. And each of these acts left a crack with serious consequences. Can you see how Abraham’s lying seed established a pattern in his bloodline? We must be careful and conscious of our actions as they are potent seeds that bear transgenerational fruits. Could this be why God changed their names to separate them from their lying nature and bloodline? So Abram became Abraham (Gen. 17:5); Jacob became Israel (Gen. 32:28).

Although, Isaac's name was not changed, there's a new bloodline God wants to bring you into in Christ. It's a new order that separates you from the negative old bloodline of your family's negative history. Paul says eloquently, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new" (2 Cor. 5:17). Be the new!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

You've been covenanted and adopted into a new bloodline in Christ that separates you from your past. Your old negative nature ceases to control you. The grace to overcome has be impacted in you and Christ's DNA now runs in your veins. See the new, embrace the new, become the new!

PRAYER: O Lord, thank You for adopting me into Your family's bloodline. I receive grace to internationally live a purposeful and upright life that is characterised by truth.

Bible Text: 2 Kings 5:3 KJV

3. And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy.

INSPIRATION: A very remarkable feedback is shared in Mark 1: 37, "And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee." Nobody spends time to seek what is valueless. How people rate your value will determine who seeks after you. Had Jesus not offered value, it would have been needless for them to go looking for him. Should you find yourself in a place where it seem you're being neglected, do a self-appraisal if you're offering value.

The two prophets that the maid and servant referred their masters to had very distinct descriptions for adding value to people's lives. Don't think people are not noticing you. If you mess with your own opportunity, you may never get great referrals. Had those prophets been slothful in handling matters, who would have made such high profile recommendations to them? Chalatans do not attract nobility. Don't be a chalatan when you could be a renowned genius!

You can be that man anyone would be willing to stake their reputation on; the man whose words are his bond; the man who will not trade off excellence, personal development and the quest to make a life better for others for mediocrity. Societal decadence begun with someone; be the remedy it currently desperately deserve rather than contribute to making it more deplorable. When men seek you like they did Jesus, do not let them come back full of regrets. Be their lifeline.

Topic: MOVE BEYOND THIS!

Memory Verse: “The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:" - Deuteronomy 1:6 KJV

Bible Text: John 5:7 KJV

7. The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

INSPIRATION: Life is a compendium of events and reactions, some of which leave us stuck on the same level for far too long. But whether we agree or life, things will always happen. However the choice is entirely yours to make how you allow the event to impact and shape your future. The view that someone should always help us has kept many from reaching their best possible potentials. This is not a medium to promote self-reliance because that has been the biggest setback for most people.

The impotent man's response to Jesus was, "Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool...!" I dare to challenge you that you don't always need a man to pick you up from a fall; you don't need a man to quit a toxic workplace or relationship that's messing with your mental wellbeing; you don't need a man to pursue self-development programs; you don't need no man to get your life back on track. Our over dependence on others put our responsibilities on them rather than us! Take responsibility for yourself. Man up!! 

Putting your responsibility squarely on your expected support systems makes you turn in cycles, having motions without real progress. So God says to Israel, "You can't get ahead with this mindset. You've dwelt long enough here. It's time to move!" It's your time to change strategy. The old one has become obsolete. There're new ideas that makes you more competitive, visible and worth taking seriously. Repackage yourself and relaunch. Make that move now!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Life will take you more seriously once you quit lame excuses. The more you dwell on the corridors of excuses, the more of an appalling excuse of a human being you become.

PRAYER: O Lord, help me to move beyond the feel good experiences of offering excuses why I'm not my best to taking pragmatic and strategic actions to correct any defect in my life and operations. Help to see the bigger picture and opportunities that could be beclouded by excuses, in Jesus name, Amen.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66445988Sat, 07 Jun 2025 20:00:21 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Sunday, June 8,  2025 Topic: MOVE BEYOND THIS!

Topic: SCARS? POINTERS TO MY STAR & VICTORY (Part 5)!

Memory Verse: “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." - Isaiah 53:5 KJV

Bible Text: Isaiah 9:5 KJV

5. For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.

INSPIRATION: Today, Joseph is in the witness box. He told his brothers his dream and they hated him (Gen. 37:5). The scars of hatred were beginning to get more pronounced after he was gifted a coat of many colours. Sibling rivalry has caused untold pain and derailed many destinies today, leaving many with scars and wounds that may never heal. Joseph had his future before him: his special coat was more than another gift of clothing, it prophetically indicated the beauty his destiny holds.

But in a dramatic twist, he was sold off into slavery! Navigating from a coat of many colours and a lofty dream, to being thrown into a pit and later sold off by one's brothers definitely left a big scar on him. Yet, God used a well scripted evil plot to advance Joseph's destiny. Whilst God may not be the architect of our scars, He can use same for His purposes and our good (Gen. 50: 20; Rom. 8: 28).

Do not sulk over your scars when dreams are waiting for your interpretation; do not wallow in despair and bitterness because of that heartbreak when your best is disguised in your "setback" and waiting for you to unwrap it with a positive and affirmative action. Your scars may be destiny's vehicle to launch you into purpose. Like Joseph, do not abort the processes to your many victories because of that scar. Series of bad experiences will never be good enough reasons to quit on yourself!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

There're glories beyond your scars that you must not allow the temporary setbacks of any scar obscure forever. Give legitimacy to your dreams and be the catalyst that gives expression and interpretation to the dreams of others. A Potiphar, a Bottler, a Pharaoh and the nations need the you that emerges after your scars!

PRAYER: O Lord, help me to see the bigger picture always and to stay steadfast to the cause of my destiny. May no scar derail me or scheme subvert me. Give me a large, loving and forgiving heart like Joseph, and may my scars bring me more stars and victories, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66422632Fri, 06 Jun 2025 17:12:32 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Saturday, June 7,  2025 Topic: SCARS?

Memory Verse: “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." - Isaiah 53:5 KJV

*Bible Text:* Isaiah 9:5 KJV

5. For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.

INSPIRATION: Today, we'll delve into this topic using Ruth and Hannah as our case study respectively. Their scars cut so deeply pronounced that the entire nation knew their stories, and so too, were their victories. Ruth, a Moabitess, had married one of the sons of Naomi and Elimelech. But not long after, her husband died. Nothing to fall back on, but she stuck out her heart for the God of her mother in-law (Ruth 1: 16).

When we focus wholly on God rather than our situations, He'll always disrupt the negative plans to come through for us. God orchestrated plans and Ruth remarried and birthed the grandparents of David, and by extension, Jesus! Hannah, on the other hand, battled the scars of childlessness and open mockery. She was scorned and ridiculed (1 Sam. 1: 6-16). The more intense the scorn, the deeper she poured her heart to God. Then, she struck a deal with God: give me a son, and I'd give you a priest (1 Sam. 2: 12-36).

Hannah's scars was an instrument to birth the great Prophet Samuel. Scriptures record of the children of Israel, "But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew..." (Exo 1:12). The scars meant for your afflictions would become your springboard for growth and multiplication. God would use your scars to gift you victory trophies that deflate and defeat the pains of your scars.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

When life throws stones at you, do not allow yourself to be buried in the rubbles.  Gather the stones as your initial building material and erect an edifice from it. Like Ruth, birth your 'David' from it, and like Hannah, call forth your 'Prophet Samuel' from the scars life hands you.

PRAYER: O Lord, I receive grace to develop a positive outlook from life's many scars. I multiply and grow like an edifice regardless of the many attempts to pluck me down. I see differently and compel my scars to turn into multi-coloured stars of glory on my trophies, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66409098Thu, 05 Jun 2025 15:21:57 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Friday, June 6,  2025 Topic: SCARS?

Memory Verse: “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." - Isaiah 53:5 KJV

Bible Text: Isaiah 9:5 KJV

5. For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.

INSPIRATION: Life always finds a way of throwing spanners in the wheels of our progress. Abraham was referred to as a friend of God in scriptures and ascribed the title, Father of Faith. But he had scars! His inability to father a child for 25yrs in spite of God's promises, and the eventual birth of Ismael, were two incidences that should never be associated with him, judging by our human standards of how to relate with God.

Looking back, what does it feel like to wait on God's promises for 25yrs? How could he be called a friend of God and Father of faith yet, he couldn't father a child at 99yrs? Abraham's story points us to the not-too-talked-about truth of our Christian walk -  being in Christ does not take away all of our problems; it only equips us with graces to weather life's storms differently.

Abraham kept believing when it appeared pointless to so do. But at the end, he birthed God's promise! He birthed Isaac, from whom children as many as the sands by the seashore and the stars in the sky were born. With Isaac, came trophies that made his scars pale into insignificance. It doesn't matter how long it takes, God's promises stand sure. Hold on firmly to what He's said to you. He will remember you and turn the tide in your favour sooner than you thought possible, in Jesus name.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Life would test you on many scores, and possibly leave you with an excruciating pain, or an unforgettable scar. Stay focused on the prize ahead till you take hold of your trophies. Then, your scars would turn to royal diadem. For every scar, there're more stars waiting to stick to your crown. So press on with determination.

PRAYER: O Lord, please help me to see the glory behind my scars; show me the beauty that's veiled by my scars, and keep my mind always in your perfect peace while I navigate the changes and turning seasons or my life, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66396611Wed, 04 Jun 2025 15:16:54 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Thursday, June 5,  2025 Topic: SCARS, STAR & VICTORY (Part 3)!

INSPIRATION: Yesterday, we did the introductory part of this series, and pointed out that our stars are never isolated occurrences, but trophies from our scars. Scars do not remind us of our defeats, they showcase our victory crowns; scars do not come to deface you, but to remind us of our resilience and victories. Scars do not appear to compromise our identity; they point us to our victory during difficult circumstances.

Today, we shall look how to better evaluate and appreciate these scars going forward and prevent then from halting and hurting us. Some of our deepest, yet most troubling scars are not visible. How do you get passed the gruesome killing of your loved ones right before your eyes, a rape, an emotional abuse, or a heartbreak?

How do you look beyond societal stigmatisation, disdainful discrimination and classification as an outcast? How do you handle shame, delays and rejection? You've got to intentionally mind-plot yourself out of all negative thoughts that entrap and hurt you. Empower your thoughts, give legitimacy and strength to your purpose rather that focusing on your struggles.

Embrace your scars, and don't let anyone rub it in on you. Refuse to empower your scars to dim your stars. When you feel powerless over your scars, you embolden them to further halt and hurt you. Don't ever give it that satisfaction ever again.

INSPIRATION: It is interesting that as our values change, so are our beliefs and perceptions, so much so that people only believe for the best and not consider that their best is relative when compared to their worst. People only want to talk about their stars while they bury their scars away from public glare. Stars are never isolated occurrences, they're usually trophies from our scars.

We cannot celebrate and talk about the victories of a warrior without talking about their scars. Every true warrior has an identity with scars.

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost" - John 20:22 KJV‬

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭Genesis 2:7 KJV‬

7. ‭‭‭‭And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

INSPIRATION: Pressure reveals the stuff one is made of. Some buckle under the weight of tense pressure; others exploit it to establish their dominance. But whether you crumble or soar under pressure, one thing it does, is to make you pant for air. Except you take in that air, you're either worse off in your crumbled state or you lack the requisite momentum to soar.

Topic: PAUSE, TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND EXHALE (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost" - John 20:22 KJV‬

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭Genesis 2:7 KJV‬

7. ‭‭‭‭And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

INSPIRATION: Pressure reveals the stuff one is made of. Some buckle under the weight of tense pressure; others exploit it to establish their dominance. But whether you crumble or soar under pressure, one thing it does, is to make you pant for air. Except you take in that air, you're either worse off in your crumbled state or you lack the requisite momentum to soar. For the latter, the air plays a dual role: gives you enough intake of oxygen; externally, creates a conducive climate for your flight.

The breath of the Holy Spirit significantly does much more than natural air. It gives life, activates our potentials, enables many possibilities and build stability. It unlocks access and dimensions, introduces you to platforms you could never have mounted anyway else.

INSPIRATION: Until God breathed into man, he didn't come alive or had the ability of expressions in any form. There seem to be a lot of persons whom daily pressure is choking life out of right now.

Topic: FACING LIFE'S BATTLES, WHY HIDE?

Memory Verse: “And David said, “What have I done now? Is there not a cause?” - 1 Samuel 17:29 NKJV

Bible Text:  Judges 6:11‭-‬12 NKJV

11. Now the Angel of the Lord came and sat under the terebinth tree which was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon threshed wheat in the winepress, in order to hide it from the Midianites.
12. And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!”

INSPIRATION: King Solomon's assertion that, "The battle is not to the strong..." (Eccl. 9:11), rightly captures the reality of our text in our present times. Physical strength no longer delivers as much as soft skills and being technologically savvy does. And this emergent reality must put us to a check that forces us to reinvent ourselves to stay relevant in our times. You must daily ask yourself, "What's my relevancy quotient?"

But to hit home run with the topic, why do strong men of war hide when real life's battles rage on? Like David would say, "Is there not a cause?" Gideon, although, seen by God as a mighty man of valour, was hiding from the enemy to thresh wheat in the winepress; Israel's bravest warriors were hiding from the threat of giant Goliath. Both Gideon and Isreal's strong warriors hid because there was a cause!

We fail to see our greatest potentials or maximise our best opportunities when we do not have the true identity of our self-worth. There's a cause that blinds us away from this reality. Even after the angelic introduction of Gideon as a man of valour, he still doubted and queried why things weren't going on fine with him. Self-doubt can cost you life's battles. Unpreparedness is no less disadvantageous. Not knowing what's at stake is a dangerous position for any warrior. Life is a threatre of war. Prepare!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Does the 'cause' justify your reasons for underachieving? Why would you rather hide instead of facing your battles head on? Interrogate this critically. Something would erupt within you that would release you to your destiny.

PRAYER: O Lord, awaken me to the reality of my purpose. Help me to walk into my destiny slaying the giants that want to hinder me, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66318733Wed, 28 May 2025 21:01:23 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Thursday, May 29, 2025 Topic: FACING LIFE'S BATTLES, WHY HIDE?

Topic: CASH IN YOUR FAITH!

Memory Verse: “Sow your seed in the morning and do not be idle in the evening, for you do not know whether morning or evening sowing will succeed, or whether both of them alike will be good" - Ecclesiastes 11:6 NASB

Bible Text: Romans 4:3 NASB

3. For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

INSPIRATION: Faith can be likened to the deposits of seeds a farmer generously disperses in his field, believing they would germinate into plants and subsequently, a great harvest. When a farmer plants seeds, he expects plants to sprout after the nature or kind of seed sown; when you deposit cash, you expect to withdraw cash; when an adult male plants his seed in an adult female, if fertilized, a new offspring after their kind soon forms. But with faith, it is not so. What is deposited is often not the same as what is harvested.

What then is the harvest of faith? The bible says Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness. In other words, what God credits into your account for every act of faith is what He's purposed for you as your harvest. Faith can be expressly deposited through sacrifice - the kind that God cannot despise (Ps. 51: 17). Make selfless deposits. Cash in your faith like one depositing money in their account. Same way you cannot withdraw cash from an empty account, that's how you cannot access spiritual things without faith.

When you deposit faith, possibilities are unlocked in realms and dimensions that transcends your physical reality. Faith deposits trigger diverse forms of God's manifest glory, breaks cycles of delays, opens shut doors and shut doors God didn't open. When you deposit faith, be sure to be credited with something out of the ordinary. When you deposit cash, you get credit alerts; when you deposit faith, God credits you with what's best and due you.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Do not make your faith seasonal; do not put it to work or leave it to thrive only in pleasant conditions. "So begin planting early in the morning, and don’t stop working until evening. You don’t know what might make you rich. Maybe everything you do will be successful" (Eccl. 11:6 ERV).

PRAYER: O Lord, I refuse to frustrate the grace of God upon my life; I choose to believe You through every situation, I will continue to make deposits in faith with my belief, lifestyle and confessions, until I see my desires credited to my account as tangible rewards, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/66212299Thu, 22 May 2025 22:26:12 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel_Afiawari Friday, May 23, 2025 Topic: CASH IN YOUR FAITH!

Bible Text:  Hebrews 6:12 KJV

12. ‭‭That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

INSPIRATION: Principles will always trump trends that do not have any statistical backing. The author of Hebrews cautions us to follow, not just anyone but those with proofs. You can repeat the principles they observed and perpetuate their results. The principles reinforced their faith and with uncanny patience, they obtained results. Time-tested principles follow a timeline or line-up of processes. You can't bypass any. Shortcuts may elongate the process and could truncate the process.

No wonder, "... ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise" (Hebr. 10:36). The virtue of patience is in short supply in this generation that wants everything on a fastline. The discipline and maturity that comes with patience is lost. Jesus had a pattern for patience and everything else he did. Same for Paul. Hence Paul could ask us to follow their examples. Patterns lead to predictable outcomes. Study anyone who's a success, there're patterns to their emergence. Seek the patterns and follow!

Whether in sports, entertainment, arts and science, every human endeavour has very established patterns. They may not be trendy but sure to deliver great outcomes if adhered to. Trends on the other hand, may attract the clout but soon fizzy out for newer trends. They're fickle, unpredictable and prone to fading with the advert of new ones. Therefore, it may be disastrously disadvantageous to rely on trends that you can't hold on to for too long. Neither Jesus nor Paul followed the trends of their days. They stood out following principles.

Many people are sending mixed signals that are difficult to decode but think they're communicating. They're neither here nor there in their encoded message. Nothing portrays what the stand for or stand against, and so leave their audience in deeper confusion. Beautiful marital unions have broken down due to communication barrier; great business partnerships have gone south, etc.

Real progress is defeated where barriers exist in communication. Worse is when you think you're speaking same language but your receiver is lost, confused or not able to make meaning from what is said. Great time is lost to this barrier, bigger opportunities may be missed, or worse still, you could run into big danger that you could have averted. Language barrier can ruin and tear everything down in subtle ways that may go unnoticed overtime until the damage is done. At times, it leaves your partner second-guessing themselves.

And like Paul says, irrespective of the tongue you speak in, there's something you must have to be productive. To mimimise these essentials is to throw caution to the wind until you reap the whirlwind. Once you lack these, access may be closed and membership denied. You can't be a good surgeon unless you've mastered the intricacies of medicine and surgery; you can't be an attorney if you haven't gone law school; the knowledge of ccountancy or engineering won't be impacted by wishes, it has to be studied and understood. Gain mastery of the language so you can command results at a higher level.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

The technicalities of communicating with the right language, when learned, can unlock any door irrespective of the complexity in its combination code.

3. For you shall expand to the right and to the left, And your descendants will inherit the nations, And make the desolate cities inhabited.

INSPIRATION: Talking about stretching your limits, we often take some key things for granted. What would it cost you to review your processes and Standard Operating Procedures to assume a global status? How about rewriting your resume to make you more competitive? Does your proposals have the essential details that could give your a competitive edge when you peach for contracts? What's your engagement portfolio like on LinkedIn and social interactive sites that could put you constantly in the faces of those who might need your services?

Have you considered registering your business and getting licenced to operate legally? Knowledge is progessively dynamic. Hence, you cannot effectively operate using outdated certificates or obsolete ideas. Your knowledge gap and operating system needs urgent updating. When your device software is outdated, it slows down, malfunctions or some applications just shutdown. Except you expand your mind, you cannot conceptualise some level of higher thoughts let alone being able to execute them. That's why you must stretch!

Topic: THE ANGEL IN EVERY MAN!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares" - Hebrews 13:2 KJV

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭Genesis 18:1-2 KJV

1. And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
2. And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

INSPIRATION: It has been commonly said that in everyman, there's a king and a child or beast. The one you entreat is the one that would manifest. As it is true in relation to the opposite gender when romance and family is involved, so it is with every other form of interpersonal relationships. Your ability to discern individuals correctly and tap into their areas of strength and grace will advance your life in no small measure. Many of us are yet to understand, let alone appreciate the incredible power of the gift of men. God grants us access to certain people whose true identity are never ever revealed. It's to your disadvantage to treat them casually as any other man.

Samson reveals something unique to Delilah, "... if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man" (Judges 16:17). It suggests that not everyone falls into the generalised classless cadre. So Abraham sees certain men pass by, he runs to meet and beg them to stop by to be refreshed. How did he know these were not ordinary men? You must sharpen your discernment if rare opportunities must not pass you by. You neighbours, colleagues, conference attendees, bosses or a janitor might just be your instrument of breakthrough.

The accomplished army general, Naaman, in all his loftiness, didn't realise a maid in his house was his healing gateway (2 Kings 5: 3). She didn't look it, just like the men didn't look like angels, but they were God's messengers carrying His mandate. Despising men who may no dress the part is an acute form of shortsightedness. Lots of great opportunities have been lost for speaking uncharitably to people on God's rescue mission to help you. Develop a healthy habit of treating people nicely, not because you seek any reward or favours in return. You never can tell who's an angel!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Opportunities do not always dress in the attires we expect to see them in. They're often disguised as work or problems. So also are destiny helpers. Entreat the angel in men or be doomed by the beast in them.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, I receive grace to treat people cautiously, to discern men correctly and to entreat the gifts of men. I refuse to pass off opportunities due to my errors in judgment.

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭Genesis 13:14-15 KJV

14. And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
15. For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

INSPIRATION: Sometimes, we just might be thinking we're doing greatly, smart enough and intellectually astute until we encounter certain individuals who display uncanny wisdom, deep insight and quality knowledge, and you suddenly realise you're behind time and need some update and upgrading to do. Whenever we're confronted with superior knowledge, it is a clear indicator that we need to elevate our thinking. You show signs of growth and maturity when your thinking improves in proportion to the quality of information available to you.

For the kind of life you aspire to live and the quality of impact you desire to make, whether in business, entreprenuership, career, finances, or relationships, there's a need for a radical but elevated shift in how you think and process data to make greatly informed decisions. You can't aspire to head a fortune 500 company and you're not thinking digitally or globally. You can't do much with your aspirations if you can't think analytically. Truth is, block heads don't make beauty queens. Don't expect to wear a crown that commands high respect when your thinking processes are flawed and can't provoke intelligent discussions.

Don't be trapped in a body you've outgrown its size because you can't use your mind. Proverb's verdict is: you're exactly what you think! Putting the ball right in your court - you're still where you are in life due to how you think. If follows therefrom that if you hoped to have advanced farther but haven't, then something is wrong with the way you think. Hard truth but it's our stack reality. Harsh, but if that's what will get you to act right going forward, here you've it! For where you're to be, you can't get there unless you lift up eyes, and look from the place where you are. That's a call to have an elevated thinking pattern.

INSPIRATION: There comes a time in every man's life when certain circumstance may force you to think deeply or differently if you ever hope to keep your head above the waters or stay relevant in life. At this point, your thinking pattern is more objectively structured than it is subjective. You'd not limit your thoughts to primarily needs base but solution driven. You're not stuck in the immediate with no thoughts or plans for tomorrow. As you begin to pay keen attention to this evolving pattern, you'd find you're becoming more purpose-driven than ever.

You can't rise or perform above your ability to think. Everyone is a manifestation or reflection of their thinking. You can't think poverty and operate in wealth; you can be sick in thoughts and be healthy in living; you can't think impossibility and be able to see vast possibilities to maximise. The sequence of life doesn't flow that way. There's always cause and effect. Hence, as he thinks in his heart, so is he. It took God to draw Abram's attention to a flawed thinking pattern. Don't think the problem, else it gets more magnified. Focus on what's ahead. Truth is, what lies behind you and what lays ahead of you are not as great as what's inside you!

So God was saying to Abram, look inward and unleash your creative strength to pull through this ordeal. Look from where you are; look away from the immediate that's obvious. See the bigger picture. Believers must learn to think in pictures, big pictures at that because that was the order God was setting up with Abram. Think futuristic but not in blanks. You can only become what you focus your thoughts on. Abram elevated his thoughts to see the lands and children ever before they came into reality. There's a pattern of Spiritual principle this passage teaches: the spiritual controls the physical realities.

At this point, your thinking pattern is more objectively structured than it is subjective. You'd not limit your thoughts to primarily needs base but solution driven. You're not stuck in the immediate with no thoughts or plans for tomorrow. As you begin to pay keen attention to this evolving pattern, you'd find you're becoming more purpose-driven than ever.

You can't rise or perform above your ability to think. Everyone is a manifestation or reflection of their thinking. You can't think poverty and operate in wealth; you can be sick in thoughts and be healthy in living; you can't think impossibility and be able to see vast possibilities to maximise. The sequence of life doesn't flow that way. There's always cause and effect. Hence, as he thinks in his heart, so is he. It took God to draw Abram's attention to a flawed thinking pattern. Don't think the problem, else it gets more magnified. Focus on what's ahead. Truth is, what lies behind you and what lays ahead of you are not as great as what's inside you!

So God was saying to Abram, look inward and unleash your creative strength to pull through this ordeal. Look from where you are; look away from the immediate that's obvious. See the bigger picture. Believers must learn to think in pictures, big pictures at that because that was the order God was setting up with Abram. Think futuristic but not in blanks. You can only become what you focus your thoughts on. Abram elevated his thoughts to see the lands and children ever before they came into reality. There's a pattern of Spiritual principle this passage teaches: the spiritual controls the physical realities.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Elevated thought patterns broaden your ability to conceptualise realities that are not mundane. Be above in your thinking so you don't have to play in a debased league.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, I receive grace to think and operate on a higher scale, and to have results that are not elementary. My eyes are lifted to see the world and realities that are possible just like Abram saw. I've a worldview that is not skewed to pursue material acquisition at the expense of living purposefully and creating life-lifting impact, in Jesus name.]]>280falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/be-the-difference-maker-part-3--65816121 With Emmanuel Afiawari

Memory Verse: ‭‭"And I sought a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none" - Ezekiel 22:30 AMPC

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭Romans 5:12 KJV

12. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

INSPIRATION: Ideas, carefully and skillfully worked at rule the world. The uniqueness by which an idea is deployed would either make it have a globalised or localised appeal. People patronise established brands because of their unique selling point; people would pay heavily to enjoy the lasting memories and experiences a place leaves in them. To the undiscerning, they may be seen as wasteful, but there's a different imprint such experience leave in them that makes them go for it.

When you order foods from resturants, it's their recipe that differentiates them, even when the foods are same. Invariably, it's the unique blend in one recipe that stands it out from the other. What's that unique difference others can point to in you? Why would anyone prefer you to another in terms of opportunities you all qualify for? By the way, selling yourself short doesn't accentuate your difference but amplifies your inferiority complex. No the difference and be at peace. Undermining your worth won't give you any advantage. Perish the idea already!

Avoid comparison and stereotypes that stifle your ability at being creative with what you do. Monotony can be boring and could kill interest if all people encounter is the same shade of you that refused to embrace innovation. It is your uniqueness that would make you a greatly competitive hire. Unfortunately, not to many of us bring out that uniqueness when go for interview or peach for contracts. Don't be a greatly admired outward aesthetic beauty that lacks the inner glow. Don't become a public disaster for failing to unleash your most striking arsenal.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Life is all about one person who chooses to make a difference. Don't capitulate when the batton is passed over to you. Leave a mark of positive difference. Write you name with gold in the memories of men. Make history; don't be history!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please make me an agent of positive transformation, a daring catalyst of positive change. In a world in dire need of leaders, make me a difference maker that prioritises the good of others to self-serving agenda. May my life be an offering to the wellbeing of society as I strive to bring You glory, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/65816121Wed, 30 Apr 2025 21:46:33 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Thursday, May 1, 2025 Topic: BE THE DIFFERENCE MAKER (Part 3)!

INSPIRATION: In a relay race competition, the one who begins and the one who ends the race for their team are the very most important in the team. They determine the outcome and overall performance of their team. Their inability to deliver means failure for their team. Life is all about our ability to make the crucial difference when and where it matters most. If you get lost in the crowd, you join the bandwagon team or effect of no future ambition.

Making a difference can be both positively and negatively, hence, the need to be extremely cautious. Adam made a very costly negative difference that put all of humanity in chaos and jeopardy, but it was a difference nonetheless. Jesus, on the other hand made a choice that became the ultimate difference that rescued mankind from a lost eternity. His difference paid for the indiscretion of Adam and reconciled us back to God. When making a difference, we must weigh both its short and long term implications and its overriding impact and not throw caution to the wind.

Consider that a decision is like an earth tremor with far reaching consequences with ripple effect that can be catastrophic if not thoroughly considered. Ezekiel says, "I sought for a man. Nature will always create a vacuum where a man is sought. Be the man with the right credentials that gets the job done. Don't be bogus on your resumè but empty on your delivery; don't be all talk with no corresponding action. Don't be the one that ruins the party for all others when nature demand your attention.

Topic: BE TRANSFORMED (Part 4)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"Jesus called out to them and said, “Come and follow me, and I will transform you into men ...for God.” - Matthew 4:19 TPT

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭Romans 12:2 TPT

2. Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.

INSPIRATION: Transformation is first of all an inward experience before it becomes an outward manifestation. Any form of outward manifestation of transformation that's not rooted inwardly is an aesthetics that lacks durability; a cosmetic disaster waiting to happen. Transformation is birthed in the place of encounters or experience. You can’t buy experience, neither can you boycott growth! Many want the results of processes they've not grown into. You'll crumble under its weight.

The more intake of processed information you accommodate, the swifter the change that occurs as a result of growth. If you feed on nothing, you'll grow into nothing but become a waste of resources that is surplus to requirement. Apparently, when you feed your mind on nothing, sooner your shallowness and embarrassment is made public. Have you ever seen a child who skipped sitting and crawling, and just jumped straight into running? Exactly, because growth has stages.

Take your time, embrace the process, and trust that every step is preparing you for the next level. No shortcuts to greatness! I'd like to challenge your thinking a little bit on the concept of transformation. It is not necessarily for outward display or for the benefit of others but for yourself! It makes you a rounded and grounded person that can hold his own against any opposition in his field. It puts you in a respectable,  amiable and acceptable position because when they encounter wisdom each time they're with you.

"...as He is, so are we in this world." Ponder seriously on this. Are you really like Christ? If you aren't, what would it cost you to "Come to Him and just follow" so you can be like Him? Transformation is a choice you must make once you realise you need to be more! Transformation drives away folly.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please transform me from within until it reflects in my outward.

Topic: BEYOND THE VEIL (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord" - 2 Corinthians 3:18 KJV

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭Mark 15:37-38 KJV

37. And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
38. And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

INSPIRATION: There's something deeply different and transformative beyond the veil that everyone should long for. It takes you far beyond the mundane routines of meaninglessness to a tangibly impactful life of dedication, commitment with a sense of a higher calling. Beyond the veil, you do not just feel the glory but can touch it; you're surrounded with His presence, not in a surreal form but in a reality that's so powerfully transformative. Beyond the veil, Christ is not a theoretical concept, but a personal experience deeply rooted in truth.

Did you notice that the veil tore from top to bottom? It's an indication that it is God's own idea and workings, not just to give you unfettered access, but to also change your thinking pattern. Have a head that's truly functional, that can process thoughts, be upwards and mobile and have an elevated worldview. You can't be the head and still be filled with tail attitude; you can't have the world ahead of you and your eyes are still shut to the realities and possibilities that abound towards you. God would tell Abram to look up as far as he could see was his (Gen. 13: 14 - 17).

Beyond the veil, you transition from dead works to perfection in Christ (Heb. 6: 1-3). The depth of revelation that's beyond the cannot be explained anyway else but to be experienced. Here's everything pales into insignificance for the glory of His presence. His Majestic Splendor pulls you on your knees as you cry, "Holy to the Lamb." Unfortunately, until the veil is torn, you cannot see Him as He real is.

Topic: BEYOND THE VEIL (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord" - 2 Corinthians 3:18 KJV

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭Mark 15:37-38 KJV

37. And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
38. And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

INSPIRATION: There's something deeply different and transformative beyond the veil that everyone should long for. It takes you far beyond the mundane routines of meaninglessness to a tangibly impactful life of dedication, commitment with a sense of a higher calling. Beyond the veil, you do not just feel the glory but can touch it; you're surrounded with His presence, not in a surreal form but in a reality that's so powerfully transformative. Beyond the veil, Christ is not a theoretical concept, but a personal experience deeply rooted in truth.

Did you notice that the veil tore from top to bottom? It's an indication that it is God's own idea and workings, not just to give you unfettered access, but to also change your thinking pattern. Have a head that's truly functional, that can process thoughts, be upwards and mobile and have an elevated worldview. You can't be the head and still be filled with tail attitude; you can't have the world ahead of you and your eyes are still shut to the realities and possibilities that abound towards you. God would tell Abram to look up as far as he could see was his (Gen. 13: 14 - 17).

Beyond the veil, you transition from dead works to perfection in Christ (Heb. 6: 1-3). The depth of revelation that's beyond the cannot be explained anyway else but to be experienced. Here's everything pales into insignificance for the glory of His presence. His Majestic Splendor pulls you on your knees as you cry, "Holy to the Lamb." Unfortunately, until the veil is torn, you cannot see Him as He real is. Whilst we focus on the Temple Veil, you must realise your heart is that veil that needs to be torn today (Joel 2: 13) for you to behold the glory of the Lord in His manifold expressions.

Topic: ASK QUESTIONS, THEN ACT!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you" - Matthew 7:7 AMPC

Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭1 Samuel 30:8-10 KJV

8. And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all. So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed. But David pursued, he and four hundred men...

INSPIRATION: In the last three days we've stressed the importance of asking the right questions and the results that follow. Today, we want to emphasize that beyond asking questions, me must act decisively on our findings. The answers you get from asking questions may only pose as roadmaps or signposts to further action. Until you walk the path it leads, you may not realise what should unfold ahead of you. David did not just enquire, he took the necessary and corresponding action to pursue.

Sometimes, an enquiry may offer a lead in form of a door, but what unveils therefrom might be mindblowing. Your answer may not always give all the details but faith moves you to action nonetheless. This is crucial because when God gives you a vision, you're only a very minute part of that vision. As you act, the bigger picture becomes clearer. Truly, it is in our action that our miracle is activated and delivered most times. David didn't just ask, he got himself a team, a strategy and execution plan.

For where and what you seek answers for, where is your corresponding team and execution blueprint? Sometimes, success is as important as the quality of people on your team. But a quality team without a definitive and well-coordinated strategy will not produce any result. At worst, it may be all grammar and big talks without any actionable plan. Many ventures have failed, not for lack of planning but in action; others have failed for having actionable parties but no plan on ground to execute. Balance is the operational word.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Action is futile without a plan. A plan not put to actionable steps would not work itself. The dilemma is to know when to ask, how to plan and when to act. Decide!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, I receive grace to move from asking to planning and acting. Guide me to choose the right team where required and the strategy to implement. May I not remain stuck on the routine of enquiry without developing an actionable plan. Above all, grant me executional excellence and unassailable results, in Jesus name, Amen.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/65551314Sat, 12 Apr 2025 19:37:29 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Sunday, April 13, 2025 Topic: ASK QUESTIONS, THEN ACT!

Topic: ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS NOW!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you" - Matthew 7:7 AMPC

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭ Jeremiah 33:3 AMPC

3. Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand).

INSPIRATION: A local adage says, "Those who ask questions do not miss direction in life." The key to getting direction is asking the right questions. Many are stuck or misdirected today because they've either not asked questions or they've asked the wrong questions of the wrong people. To go farther, you must be willing to ask the tough and frank questions; be brutally true to yourself and humble enough to take in the feedbacks that you get.

There're great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden away from you that only the right questions can reveal; there're doors shut in your face or that you cannot see due to the blindfold of ignorance that only the meticulously asked questions should unlock; there're hidden treasures reserved only for those who pay the price and have the passcode to unlock its access. Many have unlocked great discoveries or wealth where others saw nothing because they probed their realities and were unwilling to be fooled or misled by general perception.

Jeremiah 33: 3 says, "Many great things are fenced in and hidden from public glare, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand)." This should worry you deeply if you aspire to more in life. Your worry is not a form of despair or hopelessness, because when you "Keep on asking, it will be given you" (Matt. 7: 7). Therefore, it's time to sit down with your thinking cap and ask real questions. Quit self-patronising questions. No one can tell you the truth like you'd tell yourself. Seeking answers? Start asking those questions now!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

The right questions you fail to ask today will never lead you to the answers that matter to your destiny the most tomorrow. Be wise!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, here I am with all kinds of questions demanding answers. Please, give me the grace, wisdom and foresight to know where to turn to for the right answers. When I knock, may the right doors open; when I seek understanding and guidance, may I not drown in the sea of exploration before my answers come, in Jesus name, Amen.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/65487352Wed, 09 Apr 2025 21:08:53 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Thursday, April 10, 2025 Topic: ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS NOW!

Topic: LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON (Part 7)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: But a companion of fools shall be destroyed" - Proverbs 13:20 KJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭ Luke 15:14-15 KJV

14. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
15. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

INSPIRATION: Who you join yourself to and the places you go to will determine your trajectory or retrogression in life. Whilst we do not encourage you to despise anyone, you must realise that if you do not wisely choose those you associate with and allow to influence you, you'd soon become like any other man other than your original self (Judg. 16: 17). Associate with people who can help chisel your rough edges, people who can motivate and inspire you to aspire to be more in life.

Have the presence of mind and fortitude to reject offers and suggestions that do not align with your purpose in life, if you must keep yourself from falling from grace to grass. Going to feed pigs was a misdirection of purpose for a man with his pedigree. It was neither a promotion or an explorative venture to divest his business interest. Under intense pressure, we must determine not to settle for less. Royalty and feeding of pigs to the point of eating pig's food shouldn't be associated with same person. Never!

His discomfort was not a disruptive plan to pull a fast one to rise to a new level of graceful manifestation; it was embracing defeat and personalising it to himself. We must set boundaries of things we must never allow. Without scrupples, anything goes, values are compromised, destinies are traded off or sacrificed on the altar of survival. Do not damage yourself in the quest to blend in. It's your uniqueness that stands you out, not your similarity. So stand tall and firm in defense of what you believe in, not what others make you do.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Have high tastes but ensure your choices and decisions are governed by principles and values that align with God's standards. Be bold to reject anything on the contrary.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please deliver me from making the wrong turn in life, whether in business, career, investments, relationship or ministry.

14. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
15. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

INSPIRATION: Anyone who fails to plan or factor in eventualities, would always make any challenge look like an insurmountable mountain. Someone with proper planning shouldn't be hit so hard by famine owing to the amount of wealth he go as inheritance. Alas! The reverse was his case. Then he joins a wrong company. Value define your association. A companion of fools will be destroyed. The company he kept saw to his early bankrupcy - a total destruction of his identity, purpose, vision and goals. A wrong company will make you second-guess yourself.

Some company may fertilizer your dreams, acting as catalysts to midwife a process of great success; others may help you find or discover potentials and possibilities you've never considered or used; yet another set are dream killers, success annihilators and vision destroyers - they kill your budding dreams before you set sail - this latter type was the company the Prodigal Son kept. Who are the people in your corner when life hits you hard? Who are your mentors, motivators or counselors? How wise and sound are your associates? Think on this!

Whilst it may be complimentary and highly commendable to you engaged in money-making ventures, be cautiously weary of settling for less. Whilst not despising your humble beginnings, never make a permanent stop to something that should be your temporary pass to a noble goal you're chasing. Elevate your thinking, taste and vision. Have the big picture in view and refuse to settle as a mediocre. Do not compromise standards as a survivor's strategy. It would backfire, unless you're cool with eating pig's food. Be advised!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God" - Romans 14:12 KJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭ Luke 15:13 KJV

13. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

INSPIRATION: It's puzzling and distressing to hear that no sooner than the Prodigal Son got his portion of the inheritance, he took off to a far country. One would have thought for him to have asked for this near-impossible thing, he must have done his due diligence by researching into what he planned to do. But no, his was a great misadventure lacking in substance. It was said he wasted everything in riotous living. This also underscores the fact that he had no clue of the workings of his family business that made his father so wealthy.

"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it" (Prov. 22:6). Was there a proper training handed over to this young man? I'd leave you to a wild guess. But parents must do better at raising their wards by inculcating the right values and discipline into them. Proper guidance may drive away foolish decisions or peer pressure that may ruin an unguided person. Abraham guided Isaac on how to dig wells. Hence, he knew what to do when Abraham was not there anymore (Gen. 26: 18). In another instance he asked, "...Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?" (Gen. 22:7), butressing the fact Isaac had been schooled on how to offer sacrifices.
Sometimes, the field may look greener on the other side of the fence, but that could be a "far country" drawing your attention. Wisdom is to look before you leap; task your brain by asking yourself very tough questions: why do I need to abandon the familiar for the unknown? What do I seek to achieve with this move and strategy to deploy? What's God will in all of these? Am I being led right or merely ambitious? What dominate culture or values do I need to change or retain in this new environment? - the Prodigal Son went from being royalty to feeding bigs and eating their food - devaluation of one's value just to fit in!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Topic: LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON (Part 4)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God" - Romans 14:12 KJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭ Luke 15:13 KJV

13. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

INSPIRATION: A local proverb says, "When a child has only 20 tubers of yam, he may think his 20 tubers of yam will last him for 20yrs! Many of us have made very costly but regrettable assumptions about life, just like the Prodigal Son only to have a reality check that shatters all our assumptions or wrong philosophies. He gathered all he had received as inheritance and left. Don't invest all your energies or resources into what you haven't tested or proven to be truly sustainable.

Many of us have literarily gathered all and walked into a 'far country' in business, love relationships, career, friendship, etc, not minding Jesus' counsel to first count the cost (Luke 14: 28), and we're still counting our losses and regrets till date. Doing due diligence on matters of long-term investment may save you a lifetime of painful regrets. It may look promising and rosy, but do your homework first before you commit; it may promise a high returns, but don't get swayed on the surface only to get slain at the depth. Deep realities sink and stare us in the face each time the euphoria is over. Think, research, recheck!

Sometimes, it is not only money you lose for making a bad decision. If it were only money the Prodigal Son, he would've been cool. But he also lost his identity, dignity and essence in life. One silly thoughtless decision made him forget who he was. A rich kid soon identified with commoners, employed to feed pigs and now feeding himself from the pig's food. You see how low life can spiral out of control for making a wrong turn in life? But good counsel and mentorship could've saved him from this terrible fall.

Memory Verse: ‭‭"So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God" - Romans 14:12 KJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭ Luke 15:11-12 KJV

11. And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12. And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.

INSPIRATION: A wise preacher once said, "It takes a lion's heart to get a lion's share." It takes a daring audacity to make demands of life the things that are not lawful to have at certain ages or stages of life. By a universal law of acquisition of one's inheritance, the testator has to die for a will to be administered as valid (Heb. 9: 16 - 17). When you know the world awaits your manifestation (Rom. 8: 19), you'd have no choice but to make very bold and audacious demands.

Life was never designed to give you a fighting chance; you've to demand for your place forcefully if you must break even. Life will never give or offer something of great value to someone who does not understand its value (Luke 15: 19). It takes audacity not to miss your appointment with destiny; it requires audacity to get your allotment from life. If you wait, you'll waste; if you snooze at opportunities, you'll lose. The race for life is not for the faint-hearted. Until you exact your rights, life will deal severe bows that you may never revover from.

The Prodigal Son understood the dynamics of an early start. He was racing for time. I would to God that believers gain the understanding that time is racing fast for you to make your mark! Procrastination is an ill wind that blows no good. Put your arts together and act now. The universe supports the audacious! Joshua asked the sun to stand still, it did (Josh. 10: 13); Peter asked to walk on water, he did (Matt. 14: 28-30); Elijah stopped rain from falling for three and half years, and still called down fire from heaven (1 Kings 17: 1; 2 Kings 1: 12). You've got to excuse to being audacious!

11. And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12. And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.

INSPIRATION: Yesterday, using this same text, we drew three lessons on the Prodigal Son: his unwillingness to be accountable; his refusal to be submissive; and his penchant to neglect processes. But these all seem negative, and would appear like it is only negative lessons that can be draw from his experience. That is not entirely correct as we shall see shortly. The young man took the initiative to ask for what was due him. Many of us are too laid back, slothful and undetermined to take the bull by its horn. Those who lack initiatives pass off great opportunities that could have made a huge positive impact in their lives and society.

Those who are prone to taking initiatives do not always wait for all the lights to turn green before they act (Eccl. 11: 4). They understand there would never be a perfect time for everything to fall into alignment. Proactive people are always ahead of their peers in setting the pace. They make very tough but responsible choices that set them apart from the rest. We must quit being that baby that is spoon-fed. The world bows to those who can brave the odds to rise to the peak of their endeavour.

Everyone who's made a meaningful impact in life took a chance at life, kissed the familiar goodbye and set sail on a voyage to discovery and conquered. If they got glued to the harbour, they might never have been able to go down to the sea and do business in deep waters (Psalm 107: 23). Come out of your comfort zone that offers no respite, comfort or glories. You can do with a little discomfort as long as it's legal. Brave the odds, know the rules that apply but there're some rules you must break!

11. And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12. And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.

INSPIRATION: The story of the Prodigal Son is one that leaves us with so many practical lessons to draw from. This series takes a deep dive into some of the salient lessons we may overlook, yet applicable to us, which have become the pitfall of many. Firstly, the Prodigal son wasn't trying to be rich with his request for his portion of  inheritance. Rather, he was running away from accountability. We live in a time when being accountable has become a very big issue. Sadly, most people who are not accountable to anyone make a mess of everything in their hands.

Secondly, in his quest for independence, he faced the test of submission. He got fed up being submitted under his father's leadership. Sometimes, the arrogance of youth makes us think we could lead better than those leading us. So we criticise, rebel or scorn them, amplifying their shortcomings to scheme our way up the ladder. It's dangerous to get upstage after neglecting the process of preparation, only to make yourself a classic case in public disgrace! Oh! You don't want to witness what it means to fail openly when it ought to be your day of loudest ovation.

Life is a process, and it's not the stage that announces your arrival, but the many secret, behind the scene preparations. Jesus was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance (Luke 1: 80). David gained mastery throwing stones while tending the sheep; he killed the bear and the lion first before he could kill the giant, Goliath (1 Sam. 17: 34-37). Joseph went through a leadership moulding process through the pit, Potiphar's house, and the prison to develop character to serve; Moses grew up in Pharoah's house to learn. But Adam failed same way this Prodigal son did because they lacked the processes that make for greatness.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Failure is your tuition fee to learning to do things right. Don't bypass processes that should shape your character. Embrace your processes, including failing forward!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please deliver me from the arrogance that self-destruct. Teach me to be humble, submissive and accountable to enable me reach the heights ordained for me. May I not be in a hurry to arrive while neglecting the processes that could guide, keep and guarantee my stability in public glare, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/65320684Wed, 02 Apr 2025 20:06:58 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Thursday, April 3, 2025 Topic: LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON!

Topic: THE RELEASE OF WORSHIP!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head" - Mark 14:3 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭ 1 Kings 18:36‭-‬38 NKJV

36. And it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, “Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at Your word.
37. Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that You are the Lord God, and that You have turned their hearts back to You again.”
38. Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench.

INSPIRATION: Real, genuine heartfelt worship affords us the opportunity to be expressive and naked before our Maker without being afraid, ashamed or intimidated. When this happens, the fragrance of our worship ascends to God as a sweet scented savour that is well-pleasing to Him. Every genuine worship must "break our box" for its costly content to come out. There's something trapped deep down within you that must come out and connect with God. That's where our worship becomes a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable before God.

Unless we get to this point in the threshold of worship, we just might not have offered a reasonable act of service unto our God. How costly is your worship; how attractive is your praise? Who gets the attention when you worship and what changes occur as you do? When the woman broke her alabaster box and poured its perfume on Jesus, the people took notice that something remarkable had happened. It afforded her an opportunity to draw people's attention to Jesus. Until we come broken in worship, it just might be all about us and none about Jesus - a mere emotional waste of time, without any spiritual significance!

At the time of offering of the evening sacrifice, Elijah offered worship to God that established God as the true God, it brought national revival to the land and turned the hearts of the people back to God (1 Kgs 18:39). True worship must repair and rebuild broken altars (1 Kgs 18:30); it must stir God to action and cause his fire to fall (1 Kgs 18:38). But more importantly, when you release worship, you release yourself to the wings of the Spirit of God. In this atmosphere, anything is possible.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Uncage yourself and let genuine worship flow unto God. Break your box! Break every barrier that traps your fragrance of worship from rising to God. Focus your worship on exalting Jesus. Make Him the centre of your worship.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to always release genuine worship to You; make my fragrance ascend and acceptable in Your throne, and release me to operate in the dimensions of the supernatural, where I will be overwhelmed with Your blessings and victories, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/65237890Sun, 30 Mar 2025 18:12:18 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Monday, March 31, 2025 Topic: THE RELEASE OF WORSHIP!

Topic: WHEN ITS ABOUT GOD'S GLORY!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"So that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God" - 2 Chronicles 5:14 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭Luke 1:20‭-‬22 NKJV

20. But behold, you will be mute and not able to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time.”
21. And the people waited for Zacharias, and marveled that he lingered so long in the temple.
22. But when he came out, he could not speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, for he beckoned to them and remained speechless.

INSPIRATION: Many of us have heard of His glory but we've never seen or handled it before. A song writer sang, "When the glory comes, there will be no words to say, oh oh oh oh." God's glory will make you speechless and drain you of your skills and abilities to put up performance. God's glory will leave you in awe of God's awesomeness, magnificence and splendour that all you'd desire is to just connect in reverential worship rather than put up a religious show.

Unfortunately, due to insensitivity, immaturity of an hypocritical show of spiritual self-righteousness, many would rather to put up a service that would not be acceptable to God just to impress others instead of offering a reasonably acceptable worship service to God. Herein lies the problem of today's believers. When the cloud of God's glory filled the temple, the priest could not minister. You can't be sold out to God and His ways and not know when not to interfere with the move of the Spirit.

Most times, we exert ourselves so much so that we interrupt God's flow. What services do you want to render that's more important than what God is intending to do at that moment? Learn from the priest in our text. Sometimes, our desire to keep up with our religious routines when God's glory is present is not an act of faith but unbelief, a show of lack of understanding that stirs us to think it is our performance that guarantees the moves of His anointing. Real glory will leave you a different and thoroughly broken person than you were before the glory came. I wish you would long for this experience in the here and now.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Have a longing and unquenchable desire for His glory. Take the right posture before and after you encounter God's glory. Lay everything aside; conquer self and soar in the grace and power of His glory.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me not to struggle with yielding myself when it's all for and about your glory. I will not be a stumbling block to the manifestation of God's glory, but learn how to give the Holy Spirit the right of way in my life and ministry, so that I'll experience great blessings for my yieldedness, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/65219543Sat, 29 Mar 2025 18:49:29 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Sunday, March 30, 2025 Topic: WHEN ITS ABOUT GOD'S GLORY!

Topic: WHEN ITS ABOUT GOD'S GLORY!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"So that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God" - 2 Chronicles 5:14 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭Luke 1:20‭-‬22 NKJV

20. But behold, you will be mute and not able to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time.”
21. And the people waited for Zacharias, and marveled that he lingered so long in the temple.
22. But when he came out, he could not speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, for he beckoned to them and remained speechless.

INSPIRATION: Many of us have heard of His glory but we've never seen or handled it before. A song writer sang, "When the glory comes, there will be no words to say, oh oh oh oh." God's glory will make you speechless and drain you of your skills and abilities to put up performance. God's glory will leave you in awe of God's awesomeness, magnificence and splendour that all you'd desire is to just connect in reverential worship rather than put up a religious show.

Topic: THE PURPOSE OF HIS GLORY (Part 3)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples" - John 15:8 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭John 15:4‭-‬7 NKJV

4. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
5. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
6. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
7. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

INSPIRATION: Bearing fruit is a function of how enriching the soil is where the seed is planted. Where are the places you've been planted? Has the fruits coming out of your life proven that you've been planted in the right 'soil' and places or it has shown otherwise? Our fruits define our identity: “By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; SO YOU WILL BE MY DISCIPLES" (John 15:8 NKJV, emphasis mine). Your identity as a disciple is determined by your fruits, Jesus said.

This should challenge you and I to thoroughly examine our relationship with God under this scale. Does God think and see me as a discipline by reason of my fruit-bearing abilities or not? Another point from our bible text that guarantees our manifestation of glory and its purpose, is the call to a personal relationship. Abiding in Him and He in us establishes a relationship. A stranger cannot abide; they visit and go. A lot of us are visitors to God, and the frequency of our visit is not borne out of love but out of the needs we desire Him to meet.

The more you abide in Christ, the more His person, nature and lifestyle rubs off on you and reflect in your daily life. One hallmark of a long-term, cordially smooth relationship is the tendency to look alike after a while. Not only do the partners look alike, they also reason alike. If it true of husband and wife relationships, it is much more so in our relationship with Christ. You can't be (abide) in Christ and not command Christ-like glory.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Examine your level of fruitfulness. Watch out for traces of things that could disconnect you from abiding in Christ. Do not treat signals of spiritual dryness lightly. A lot go wrong when you dry up.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to bear acceptable fruits in terms of quantity and quality. Help me to gain revelational insight into this truth and equip me for all round fruitfulness, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/65192890Fri, 28 Mar 2025 15:44:18 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Saturday, March 29, 2025 Topic: THE PURPOSE OF HIS GLORY (Part 3)!

7. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

INSPIRATION: I suspect this will shock someone out of their preconceived notion about the manifestation of glory, where all along, they've thought it was about the demonstration of power over satanic incursion, of winning in life, and having testimonies alone. But Jesus says for the Father to be glorified, you must bear much fruits! Just imagine that the fruits you're expected to bear is qualified with "MUCH!"

It gives you the idea that you can't do anyhow with this commandment because the measuring scale is determined by the One who sets the rules. Secondly, you cannot produce anyhow fruits even if it comes in large quantities. Scriptures say, "Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance" (Matt. 3:8). What does Matthew here? It means to “Bear fruit in keeping with repentance.” This is true repentance, not just to turn from sin, only to turn back to sin. That misses the whole point of repentance. Turn from sin and keep turning from sin, and experience the fruit of righteousness, of freedom from sin.

One way to guarantee the continuous production of enduring and acceptable fruits is to ensure you're planted in the Vine; it is to abide in Him. Many miss the point when they think engaging in much of church activities equate to "ABIDE." It is in abiding that He supplies the materials for your fruitfulness, otherwise, you're useless.

Abiding in Him helps you develop Christ-like attributes that self-righteousness cannot produce. Refusal to abide dries you up automatically until you're bundled and burned. How so dangerous to have dried up while still acting and thinking you're effectively productive. Ask Samson whom the bible describes as, "... He didn’t realize that God had abandoned him" (Judges 16:20 MSG)

Topic: THE PURPOSE OF HIS GLORY!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth" - John 1:14 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭Matthew 21:20‭-‬22 NKJV

20. And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither away so soon?”
21. So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done.
22. And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

INSPIRATION: Never for once has the revelation or manifestation of God's glory been about us but about God and the kingdom of His Christ! John says, "We beheld the glory of Jesus, full of "Grace" and "Truth."" Any manifestation of glory that does not reveal God's grace and the truth about the person of Jesus is counterfeit. So if you think to manifest glory is only to 'shine' in an oppressive manner or to show you've arrived, you have missed the point and strayed farther away from God's purposes.

God wants and expects your manifestation of glory to be graceful. That is, it must point us to the love of God lavished through the person of Jesus to redeem mankind. It must reveal the truth that Jesus is the only way to salvation (John 14:6; Acts 4: 12). In Matthew 21, Jesus had cursed a fig tree and it withered. His disciples were amazed at the manifestation of power, and pointed the dead tree to Jesus. But Jesus used the occasion to draw them to the truth about their faith. Faith is an absolute trust in the dynamic power of God.

If you manifest any form of glory that does not point anyone to the truth, you need to reexamine the source of your glory. "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us" (Cor. 4:7). Glory, often, is a demonstration of power. But Paul say this power is of God, and not of us. In other words, everything about us should reveal the glory of God, and nothing of ourselves because there's nothing that we have that we have not received (1 Cor. 4:7).

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Examine who gets the glory when you achieve something: you or God? Determine to make God the centrepiece around which your life revolves. Nothing for you; all for Him. Repent of your previous acts of appropriating God's glory to yourself.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to correctly appropriate all glories to You in my life. Give me a clearer and deepened understanding of this truth so that I'll no longer desire to share in the glory that should go to You, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/65136632Wed, 26 Mar 2025 16:08:26 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Thursday, March 27, 2025 Topic: THE PURPOSE OF HIS GLORY!

Topic: THE REALM OF HIS GLORY!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"Then suddenly, after I wrote down these messages, I saw a portal open into the heavenly realm, and the same trumpet-voice I heard speaking with me at the beginning said, “Ascend into this realm! I want to reveal to you what must happen after this" - Revelation 4:1 TPT

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭Matthew 14:27‭-‬29 NKJV

27. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.”
28. And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”
29. So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.

INSPIRATION: The manifestation of glory or working of miracles start from a higher place of power. It is only available and accessible to those who have ascended into that realm where power is generated and dispensed. The call to "Come up hither," or to "Ascend into this realm" as seen in Revelation 4:1 points us to a realm beyond our ordinary operating spheres where glory is expressed. But this realm is not for everyone.

The Psalmist asked, "Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place?" (Psalms 24:3). There's a criteria for gaining access to the higher place of spiritual significance. Can God count on you to fulfil the criteria? Jesus told his disciples, "Wait here until you're endued with power from on high" (Luke 24: 49). There's the responsibility and discipline of waiting for the release of divine power that makes for the manifestation of glory; there's the acceptable process of waiting that must meet God's standards.

Jesus taught his disciples how to pray, the same way the Bible is filled with patterns of how God outlined steps to take to get certain defined results. John says in Revelation, "Ascend into this realm;" Jesus tells Peter, "Come," when he asked to be invited to walk on water. Can you handle this level of glory that you seek? If the Holy Spirit calls you to ascend into a new dimension, do you have what it takes?

Determine God's specific pattern for your ascension to the higher realm. Follow your discovered pattern step by step, process by process. Pray in the Holy Spirit to build up spiritual stamina.

Topic: GOD'S GRACE AND GLORY!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I" - Psalms 61:2 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭2 Corinthians 13:14 NKJV

14. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

INSPIRATION: Have you ever been faced with pressure that drained you out? Have you ever encountered situations that you almost doubted yourself and made light of the graces of God and glory around which your life is woven? Every once in a while, we all get in such messy situations, so it's not just only you. Unfortunately, when in such moments, our lives are reduced to a pack of dullness and inactivity.

Even when we try to motivate ourselves to a new line of action, we often fall short. Overwhelmed and in despair the Psalmist cried for help. He prayed to be drawn to God's glory (rock), where he's safe and sheltered (Psalm 61: 2 TPT). In others words, God's glory is a wall of defense and a shield of protection for His people. He went before Israel in a pillar of cloud and a pillar of fire (Exo. 13). The pillar of cloud went ahead of them by day to guide their way, and the pillar of fire by night, to give them light. No wonder God did not allow anyone to do them wrong.

It is against this backdrop that Paul's prayer in 2 Corinthians 13:14 has more impactful effect. The grace of God cannot be with you and you'll be devoid of his glory; the grace of God in our lives rubs an aura of glory over us that doesn't only give us favour and preferential advantage over others, it also puts fear in the hearts of people as they become very careful with us. Grace is the vehicle through which the love of God and fellowship of the Holy Spirit is transported to us, but this only becomes evident in our glorious living.

Topic: GOD'S GRACE AND GLORY!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I" - Psalms 61:2 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭2 Corinthians 13:14 NKJV

14. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

INSPIRATION: Have you ever been faced with pressure that drained you out? Have you ever encountered situations that you almost doubted yourself and made light of the graces of God and glory around which your life is woven? Every once in a while, we all get in such messy situations, so it's not just only you. Unfortunately, when in such moments, our lives are reduced to a pack of dullness and inactivity.

Even when we try to motivate ourselves to a new line of action, we often fall short. Overwhelmed and in despair the Psalmist cried for help. He prayed to be drawn to God's glory (rock), where he's safe and sheltered (Psalm 61: 2 TPT). In others words, God's glory is a wall of defense and a shield of protection for His people. He went before Israel in a pillar of cloud and a pillar of fire (Exo. 13). The pillar of cloud went ahead of them by day to guide their way, and the pillar of fire by night, to give them light. No wonder God did not allow anyone to do them wrong.

It is against this backdrop that Paul's prayer in 2 Corinthians 13:14 has more impactful effect. The grace of God cannot be with you and you'll be devoid of his glory; the grace of God in our lives rubs an aura of glory over us that doesn't only give us favour and preferential advantage over others, it also puts fear in the hearts of people as they become very careful with us. Grace is the vehicle through which the love of God and fellowship of the Holy Spirit is transported to us, but this only becomes evident in our glorious living.

Topic: GLORY OF A DISRUPTIVE AGENT (Part 3)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain" - Philippians 1:21 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭2 Corinthians 4:8‭-‬9 NKJV

8. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9. Persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—

INSPIRATION: In the last two days, we've been discussing the manifestation of glory through disruptive tendency. Today, we'll deal with another variant of this topic. It must take someone with a lot of mental strength and deeply convincing resolve to be faced with so much pressure and yet not giving up or getting crushed. That's against the conventional practice, where people cave in to life's pressure. What was going on in the mind of Paul that he could be unsure of finding his way but still not discouraged.

Today, we have a lot of believers without the required mental toughness to weather life's storm. Before the pressure mounts, they've given up or compromised. Whenever you compromise, you lose your glory. One way to demonstrate your disruptive skills is to cause a total turnaround of a negative situation; it is to make lemonade out of your lemon; it is your ability to see, explore and harness your roses in the midst of so many thorns; that is, your ability to turn your ashes into creative beauty. It is your ability to bounce back up after so many knockdowns.

How do you face persecution with so much calmness and dogged determination? Paul slammed persecution and hardship in the face when he said, “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain" (Phi. 1:21). In other words, my life matters nothing where the pursuit of God's plans is the goal. Oh! Where are the believers of this generation who are consumed by God's passion that they're willing to risk their lives for the glory of God's kingdom?

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Do not fear when trouble arises. Confront them with superior wisdom. Unleash the God-like nature in you and offer disruptive solutions to difficult situations. Be a Holy Spirit filled, led and sensitive believer.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me understanding on how to offer disruptive solutions to life's challenges. Release and activate upon me the grace to offer uncommon solutions to negative situations and help me to stand out as I manifest God's glory, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/65016292Fri, 21 Mar 2025 15:52:18 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Saturday, March 22, 2025 Topic: GLORY OF A DISRUPTIVE AGENT (Part 3)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light" -  Genesis 1:3 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭Genesis 1:1‭-‬2 NKJV

1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

INSPIRATION: The continuous underestimation of the human mind limits our abilities to perform and achieve giant strides. Paul reminds us, "...but you have the mind of Christ" (1 Cor. 2:16). Whenever we gain understanding of our makeup components, there's a surge of power from within us to create and recreate results. To create noticeable disruptive orders, you must take a radical approach backed by a deep-seated conviction about your actions; you must be willing to standout by challenging the status quo.

Paul says, "Be not conformed to this world  but be transformed by the renewing of your mind..." (Rom. 12:2). Did you see the revolutionary approach Paul brought to the gospel? That's a disruptive order from the norm! Can you dare to defy logic or conventional ways of problem-solving and think outside the box for a minute? Can you dare challenge the traditional ways of doing things? By the way, Jesus said, "Through your tradition, you've made the word of God of no effect" (Mark 7:13).

Challenge the old order; have a mindshift! Break existing record, leap over blockades erected to cage you in. Block every form of leakage that drains your resources and energy. Confront the rules like Daniel; just refuse to be boxed in, rather, allow the Holy Spirit to have a very strong influence on your choices; permit Him to lead you.

2. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

INSPIRATION: Have you ever stopped to look and wonder at a beautiful young plant sprouting between a cracked concrete floor? Most often, it is not its beauty that attracts your attention but the fact that it defied and disrupted convention to grow out of a well cemented concrete floor. In the next few days, we shall look at varying examples from the scriptures of instances where a drastic disruptive event occurred in order for glory to be made manifest.

Firstly, we see God's disruptive force through the Holy Spirit brooding over creation and teaching darkness and formlessness a lesson. A disruptive operation from which God is manifest does not focus on the problems, no matter their sizes or colouration, but on a solution that shatters existing protocols. The Holy Spirit silenced the power of darkness and void when he created something out of nothing.

We have been created to continue in this creative path, where you disrupt satanic and negative agenda while enforcing God's will. Joseph introduced a system of economic management to Pharaoh. He simply disrupted the old order and established the counsel of God. Then glory was manifest! You see, glory is not manifest only where and when power is displayed, but if that's the only way you can relate to the concept of glory, we shall see the disruptive manifestation of power through the ministry of Elijah and Jesus!

Elijah called down fire and slaughtered the prophets of baal, and turned the heart of the nation back to God; Jesus, on the other hand, drove the traders in the temple away and upturned the tables of money exchangers. These acts were disruptive to the point their actions were noticed and glory was ascribed to God. Do you want to manifest glory? Get ready to proffer uncommon solutions to your world and stand out from the crowd.

Memory Verse: ‭‭"That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,"  - Ephesians 1:17 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭Ephesians 1:18‭-‬19 NKJV

18. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19. And what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power

INSPIRATION: A wise preacher once said, "What you understand, you don't stand under." That is, what you understand cannot control you. It is only areas where understanding is lacking that you see people struggling. Another preacher also said, "No one has money problems. What people have is wisdom problem." In other words, where wisdom is absent, everything becomes a big problem. People struggle and do poorly in life and ministry where the right knowledge is not applied.

Knowing what to do gives you a guide and understanding of how to apply the principles that helps you get results. Manifesting glory comes easily when you know what to do and you do it. You shine with ease and reign in your field with dominion. That's why you must take Paul's prayers very seriously. Except the eyes of your understanding are enlightened, you may never know what has been provided for you in Christ; except you receive clarity, you may never know all things are yours and have been given to you by God through Christ freely to enjoy.

It is for this reason the writer of Proverbs say, "Through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered (Prov. 11:9). This shows that's there's a level of bondage that comes with ignorance. When you know the exceeding greatness of His power, you'll supersede all your expectations with manifest glory. You can't know the greatness of His power and not experience the workings of His mighty power accompanied by undeniable proofs.

It was revelation that opened Joseph to the interpretation of Pharaoh's dreams and the solution he offered. Daniel talked about knowing the God that reveals secrets.

Topic: KEEPING YOUR FIRE BURNING!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out" - Leviticus 6:13 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭Leviticus 6:12 NKJV

12. And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order on it; and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings.

INSPIRATION: When you read an instruction like, “A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out" - Leviticus 6:13, the following questions should come to your mind: firstly, what altar is he referring to? Secondly, what's the significance of the fire on the altar? Thirdly, does the fire refer to literal fire or it is metaphorical? Fourthly, what could possibly happen or go wrong if my fire goes out? It is obvious we aren't interrogating scriptures enough to discover ourselves and God's intentions for us.

The intentionality to search deeply into God's word has lost its place and authenticity in this generation.

Questions like this should make your spirit restless and force you to some actionable processes that would birth revival.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Set up an altar if you don't have one, or rebuild yours if it is already broken. Make a covenant with God on this altar and agree on how you'll be servicing it. Bring your "wood," "burnt offering," pour your "fat offering" to fuel the fire, and bring your "peace offering" daily to this altar.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to understand the significance of having fire burn on my altar, and set my life on fire for you once again.

Topic: KEEPING YOUR FIRE BURNING!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out" - Leviticus 6:13 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭Leviticus 6:12 NKJV

12. And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order on it; and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings.

INSPIRATION: When you read an instruction like, “A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out" - Leviticus 6:13, the following questions should come to your mind: firstly, what altar is he referring to? Secondly, what's the significance of the fire on the altar? Thirdly, does the fire refer to literal fire or it is metaphorical? Fourthly, what could possibly happen or go wrong if my fire goes out? It is obvious we aren't interrogating scriptures enough to discover ourselves and God's intentions for us.

The intentionality to search deeply into God's word has lost its place and authenticity in this generation. Ironically, although knowledge is increasing, the yoke of ignorance, laziness and loss of interest has kept everyone running in circles. You must determine what you need to do to keep your fire burning on your altar; you must take responsibility for your destiny and align yourself to God's agenda to make you manifest glory.

Topic: PROTOCOL FOR GOD'S GLORY!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out" - Leviticus 6:13 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭Leviticus 6:12 NKJV

12. And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order on it; and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings.

INSPIRATION: Everything in life that works has a trade secret. When you learn and master the secrets to any venture, you're on your way to becoming an exceptional authority in that field. In God's kingdom, divine secrets are the winning strategies and stability of the believers. Jesus told his disciples, "To you, it is given to know the secrets of the kingdom..." Whenever you take hold of a divine secret, you're well on your way to hitting a treasured goldmine that could serve your purposes for generations to come.

So we shall try today to unwrap a kingdom secret or protocol for us to flow in the anointing that enables us manifest glory. What is this secret? Moses writes: “A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out" (Leviticus 6:13). The fire on your altar is the catalyst or stimulant for the anointing. When your altar lacks fire, your head will lack the oil that breaks and destroys yokes. No matter what you do or go through, never allow your head to lack fresh oil.

Now, we do not mean that you should be rubbing oil on your head daily but that you should observe spiritually prescribed protocols that makes the anointing flow ceaselessly on you. You're to keep your altar on fire. "And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out..." (Lev. 6:12). This is a divine instruction, a trade secret, that must be kept if you want to amount to anything significant in life.

As the priest of your personal altar, the sole responsibility is on you to see to it that you "burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order on it; and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings" (Lev. 6:12). What this means in simple terms is that you must service your altar to keep it aflame!

Topic: THE MOVE OF GOD'S GLORY (Part 3)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"The Lord kills and makes alive; He brings down to the grave and brings up" - 1 Samuel 2:6 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭1 Samuel 2:7‭-‬8 NKJV

7. The Lord makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and lifts up.
8. He raises the poor from the dust And lifts the beggar from the ash heap, To set them among princes And make them inherit the throne of glory. “For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, And He has set the world upon them.

INSPIRATION: The revelation of God's glory is often a defining moment in the lives of those who encounter Him. You cannot have an experience with his glory and something would not change about you. Certainly, somethings would die and others would come alive for you to live and relive the reality of such encounters. An encounter with God's glory brings us into a place of covenant relationship.

Abraham encountered God's glory on the mountain of Moriah where he went to sacrifice Isaac (Gen. 22); Jacob saw this glory in his vision of the house of God and the gate of heaven, where angels were ascending and descending on a ladder (Gen. 28:12); Saul saw his glory on his way to Damascus to persecute the church. The glory shone on him like a shining light (Acts 9:3) and that was the turning point for him, same way the experiences of others earlier mentioned marked the beginning of a journey of faith.

John says, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we BEHELD HIS GLORY, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth" (John 1:14). You cannot behold His glory and not die to your flesh and carnal desires; you cannot see His glory and not come alive as a regenerated spirit; you cannot see his glory and not enjoy the fullness there is in Christ.

The glory of Jesus that was revealed was "FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH." That is, when you see His glory, you walk into a life of grace! Grace is an embodiment of the overwhelming mercies of God. This is what you get when the glory comes. Truth, on the other hand sets free (John 8:32). God's glory brings freedom. Hallelujah!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Purge yourself of every act of unrighteousness. Examine your life under God's light. Be careful how you handle God's vessel and His purposes over your life. Pray more in the Spirit to stimulate and usher in God's move in your life.

INSPIRATION: I'd like to start by warning that today's message is not one of convenience. God is set to prune his own and kill every trace of misalignment in us that doesn't glorify Him. He kills and makes alive! The axe is laid to the foot of the tree and every branch in us that's unfruitful will be cut off. He will cast down all inordinate thoughts and negative imagination.

The Holy Spirit is on a purification journey; He wants to sanctify to Himself a people set aside for His glory. This glory will not rest on filth, the vessel has to be pure. Enough of practicing Christianity with convenience and making excuses with our childish indiscretion. Revelation says I will spit you out if you're neither cold nor hot (Rev. 3:15-16). Lukewarnness is not a fruit of the Spirit, neither is it a gift of righteousness.

You cannot want or desire to manifest God's glory in the public whereas everything about your private life stinks and is filled with all kinds of unimaginable evil that you can't even see amongst unbelievers. The bible standard and warning still remains, "Let everyone that is called by the name of the Lord depart from evil (2 Tim. 2:19).

God's judgment is coming and will catch someone off guard for a public disgrace if you fail to heed this warning. You cannot defy your body which is the Lord's temple and cry for his glory to manifest. His jealous anger will consume you! His anger is slow in coming but it will surely grind to your doorsteps and consume you. God is still a consuming fire. "For our God is fire that wasteth" (Heb. 12:29 WBMS).

INSPIRATION: One of the most dangerous and destructive things in Christianity is to experience one move of God and then limit the infinite God to that your only experience. Another is to condition your mind to feast on baseless assumptions that God cannot move in certain ways. Well, our text proves otherwise and shatters your walls of misinformed beliefs and assumptions. God still moves in terrible, mysterious ways, performing wonders as he goes. You'll experience the multi-sided moves of God's glory when you genuinely hunger for them and open up your mind and spirit to accommodate them.

We're referring to the God who reserves the exclusive rights to kill and to bring back to life and nobody can question his decision; the God who caused an old, dead rod carried by Aaron to start growing lives because it was brought into the presence of God! Now, do you still wonder why Sarah whose womb had long died (Rom. 4:19-22) could still get pregnant with Isaac? If a dead and dried up walking stick could grow lives, your womb could get fertilised to give birth because there's hope for tree that it would grow again after receiving the scent of water (Job 14:7-9).

Anything that represents a tree in your life will grow again no matter how many times circumstances have cut you down! Just like Lazarus was brought back to life, you'll live and not die before the fulfilment of your destiny. God will move in his glory and your rod will swallow the snakes of your enemies. I sense a very strong, strange and indescribable move of the glory of God that would judge the enemies of your destiny and produce great results in your life. Get ready for the sweeping moves of the Spirit. Hallelujah!

Topic: GLORY-TRIGGERED RESPONSES!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word..." Luke 1:38 KJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭Ezekiel 11:5 KJV

5. And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.

INSPIRATION: It's an established fact that our responses to God's word becomes the catalyst that triggers our manifestation of glory. Jesus told Martha, "Did I not say if you believe that you'd see the glory of God?" Belief is a form of response, the same way unbelief is another form of response. Interestingly, you cannot believe and disbelieve at the same time. When the word of God came to Mary, she said, "Be it unto me according to your word."

In other words, Mary aligned herself with the Word, stood on the side of the Word and allowed the word to dictate and define her circumstances. At the end, the glorious Wonder, called Jesus, was born through that singular action of hers. Have you ever stopped to imagine all you could amount to when you believe the Word of God? Daily, God's words come to us just like it came to Mary. No single day passes without you hearing a "thus saith the Lord!"

What you do with what is said to you determines your outcome. "These things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us who live at the end of the age" (1 Cor 10:11 NLT). How have we allowed the responses of people in the bible colour our own response-action? When you act in unbelief, it is rebellion and rebellion in the sight of God is witchcraft (1 Sam. 15: 23). God demands total submission to His word but He won't enforce it. But should you want to see His glory, just obey and act on the Word!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Evaluate your level of obedience to God's word. Deal with every root of disobedience and rebellion springing up inside you against God's word, especially, your rational thinking. Emulate Mary's response to every word of God that is released in your direction so you can trigger his glory.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to always have a faith-based response and absolute submission to your word. I lose the desire to rebel and disobey Your word; I manifest glory daily as I act in obedience to divine instructions, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/64820141Tue, 11 Mar 2025 21:08:30 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Wednesday, March 12, 2025 Topic: GLORY-TRIGGERED RESPONSES!

Jesus told Martha, "Did I not say if you believe that you'd see the glory of God?" Belief is a form of response, the same way unbelief is another form of response. Interestingly, you cannot believe and disbelieve at the same time. When the word of God came to Mary, she said, "Be it unto me according to your word."

In other words, Mary aligned herself with the Word, stood on the side of the Word and allowed the word to dictate and define her circumstances. At the end, the glorious Wonder, called Jesus, was born through that singular action of hers. Have you ever stopped to imagine all you could amount to when you believe the Word of God? Daily, God's words come to us just like it came to Mary. No single day passes without you hearing a "thus saith the Lord!"

What you do with what is said to you determines your outcome. "These things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us who live at the end of the age" (1 Cor 10:11 NLT). How have we allowed the responses of people in the bible colour our own response-action? When you act in unbelief, it is rebellion and rebellion in the sight of God is witchcraft (1 Sam. 15: 23). God demands total submission to His word but He won't enforce it. But should you want to see His glory, just obey and act on the Word!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Evaluate your level of obedience to God's word. Deal with every root of disobedience and rebellion springing up inside you against God's word, especially, your rational thinking. Emulate Mary's response to every word of God that is released in your direction so you can trigger his glory.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to always have a faith-based response and absolute submission to your word. I lose the desire to rebel and disobey Your word; I manifest glory daily as I act in obedience to divine instructions, in Jesus name.]]>281falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/glory-triggered-responses--64819341 With Emmanuel Afiawari

Memory Verse: ‭‭"... If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test!" - Malachi 3:10 NLT

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭ 1 Samuel 17:39 NKJV

39. David fastened his sword to his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. And David said to Saul, “I cannot walk with these, for I have not tested them.” So David took them off.

INSPIRATION: Until Joseph was certified to have passed the test of his character, the exalted office of a Prime Minister did not come; Jesus had to pass the test of the Cup and the Cross to share in the glory of the Father. Glory in God's kingdom comes at a price that yieldedness and selflessness are part of its cost. But whilst you might expect God to test you in the "big things" according to human classification, God might decide to prove you in the smallest, insignificant things.

For Gideon's army, it was a test of how they drank water! Who could have thought one's posture while drinking water was going to be a factor to consider for qualification or disqualification into the army? You see? God's ways are not ours!

Paul says, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing" ( 2 Tim 4:7‭-‬8).

Fighting a good fight comes at a cost: you can't be entangled with the affairs of this life (2 Tim. 2:4); to finish your race, you have to lay aside every weight and sin (Heb. 12:1-2); to keep the faith is to uphold the teachings of sound doctrines. Now, these are some parameters by which God will test your faith and maturity before the glory will be revealed and released. You'd either pass God's test or remain ordinary without any glories to manifest. The password to a life of glory is the TEST that you successfully PASS!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Do not compromise your convictions in face of greatly influential people. Be sensitive and discerning enough to align with God's word even if it makes you look stupid at first. Subject your ideas to the test using God's word as your baseline indicator.

39. David fastened his sword to his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. And David said to Saul, “I cannot walk with these, for I have not tested them.” So David took them off.

INSPIRATION: There's a very huge price to pay to manifest glory. The worth of the price is in the quality of test you're put through. David had to go through a major test of using a weapon of war he wasn't familiar with. This is still challenging for us all today. Our ability to discern and stick with God's original plan for us procures cheap victory. David rejected the sophisticated weapons of Saul and killing Goliath came easy with his decision.

Have you tested yet that new idea before deploying it? Do you have regards for your inner convictions when you appear before very powerful and influential people? David would not allow the king influence his approach to the glory encounter that would eventually announce and endear him to his people. On the flip side of this, God says we should "test" or "try" him. It means to rely on God's faithfulness. When we trust and judge Him faithful, we would have no difficulty doing his bidding. But the problem is that a lot of us want the results but we don't want to go through the process.

He gives an instruction with a conditional blessing attached, then challenges you to test him if he'd not keep his promises. Can you stand on God's promises, especially, the type that makes stupid mockery of your intelligence? How does a young newly engaged virgin Mary get pregnant the unnatural way? But Mary passed the test! She judged God faithful and aligned to his agenda even though there was no such previous experience of any kind to rely on.

Memory Verse: ‭‭"Pray without ceasing" - 1 Thessalonians 5: 17

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭Acts 12:5 NKJV

5. Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church.

INSPIRATION: Miracles will always yield to atmospheric preparation and saturation. The kind of spiritual force in operation over an environment determines what happens within its spheres. If the environment is saturated with grace, grace and mercy will flow in abundance; if it is saturated with healing, diverse healing would occur; if it is saturated with deliverance, yokes would be broken; if saturated with favour, doors would open daily of their own accord; if it is saturated by demonic powers, oppressive occurrences would begin to manifest, etc. However, atmospheres are initiated and sustained by man.

The miraculous deliverance of Peter was triggered by the prayers of the church on his behalf. They had earlier witnessed the death of Apostle James in the hands of the authorities. They weren't going to allow Peter die. The church of today must take a cue from this and understand nothing happens unless we allow it. If the church had kept silent, Peter would have been killed. Angelic interventions happen where we commission them to stir up the waters for miracles to happen (John 5: 4, 7).

5. Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church.

INSPIRATION: The miraculous doesn't just happen. It takes a trigger to activate it. But before the trigger is pulled, a lot of preparation needs to go into place. Read all the preparations that went into the building of the Ark of Covenant, the erection of the Temple and the sacrifice of Elijah on Mount Carmel points us to what it takes to operate in glory. If the proper foundation is not laid, your desire for the glory becomes a mirage.

We must understand that the preparation for our assignment is more important than the manifestation that is so often chased about today. If you manifest too soon without proper depth, knowledge, wisdom and direction, you'll waste quite early. Our bible text reads, "Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church" - Acts 12:5. This was where the miracle of Peter's deliverance from prison was birthed and activated.

Prayers are incubators that hatch miracles. They're catalysts that stir up heaven's positive reactions. Genuinely effectual prayers make tremendous power available. In the atmosphere of His power, anything is possible; angels are despatched with the urgency of lightning to carry out divine interventions. There's a protocol of the spirit that must be observed to activate power from on high. The moves of the Spirit are scarce where this protocol is absent.

Memory Verse: ‭‭"But when the officers came and did not find them in the prison, they returned and reported, saying, “Indeed we found the prison shut securely, and the guards standing outside before the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside!” - Acts 5:22‭-‬23 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭Acts 5:18‭-‬20 NKJV

18. And laid their hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison.
19. But at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said,
20. “Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life.”

INSPIRATION: The manifestation of God's glory happens however He pleases, and the sole purpose is either to drive a divine agenda or to glorify/reveal the person of Jesus. One thing we must know is that we can never fit God into our stereotypes of what and how we expect him to act. He knows the best route to take to bring about his manifest glory. In our scriptures scriptures, God's approach was through persecution of the church.

Whilst we may pray against attacks and persecution, they're often God's ordained vehicle to revealing his power. Abraham's years of waiting for the birth of Isaac, Joseph's experience with his brothers and in slavery, Israel's ordeal in Egypt and through the wilderness, Goliath's threat and David's triumph, the betrayal and death of Jesus, etc, are unpleasant experiences to have if you lived in their moments, but God used each one to manifest His glory, leaving no traces for anyone to doubt He was involved.

Two scriptures come to mind readily that explains and reveals God's glory in these acts: But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive" (Genesis 50:20), Joseph said. The second is, "Which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory" (1 Corinthians 2:8). The crucifixion of Jesus raised many sons into glory which Satan didn't see coming.

That your bad experience will work out God's glory too. "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal" (2 Cor 4: 17‭-‬18). May God open your eyes to see your glory in your pains.

Pray to experience the Supernatural moves of God. Be sensitive to the different manifestions and visitations you'll see. Trust God for a way of escape even in the most hopeless situation.

Memory Verse: ‭‭"But when the officers came and did not find them in the prison, they returned and reported, saying, “Indeed we found the prison shut securely, and the guards standing outside before the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside!” - Acts 5:22‭-‬23 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭Acts 5:18‭-‬20 NKJV

18. And laid their hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison.
19. But at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said,
20. “Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life.”

INSPIRATION: The manifestation of God's glory happens however He pleases, and the sole purpose is either to drive a divine agenda or to glorify/reveal the person of Jesus. One thing we must know is that we can never fit God into our stereotypes of what and how we expect him to act. He knows the best route to take to bring about his manifest glory. In our scriptures scriptures, God's approach was through persecution of the church.

Whilst we may pray against attacks and persecution, they're often God's ordained vehicle to revealing his power. Abraham's years of waiting for the birth of Isaac, Joseph's experience with his brothers and in slavery, Israel's ordeal in Egypt and through the wilderness, Goliath's threat and David's triumph, the betrayal and death of Jesus, etc, are unpleasant experiences to have if you lived in their moments, but God used each one to manifest His glory, leaving no traces for anyone to doubt He was involved.

Two scriptures come to mind readily that explains and reveals God's glory in these acts: But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive" (Genesis 50:20), Joseph said. The second is, "Which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory" (1 Corinthians 2:8). The crucifixion of Jesus raised many sons into glory which Satan didn't see coming.

That your bad experience will work out God's glory too. "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal" (2 Cor 4: 17‭-‬18). May God open your eyes to see your glory in your pains.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Pray to experience the Supernatural moves of God. Be sensitive to the different manifestions and visitations you'll see. Trust God for a way of escape even in the most hopeless situation.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please deliver me from every scheme of hell to cut short my destiny. Make me to experience strange acts of glory manifestation in my life this season that will leave the world in awe of Your mighty powers, in Jesus name.]]>297falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/when-glory-is-at-work-part-2--64712909 With Emmanuel Afiawari

INSPIRATION: Glory doesn't always roar but leaves traces of its footprint behind that can only be explained as the supernatural. From the burning bush that wouldn't be consumed to the parting of the red sea, from the drowning of the Egyptian army in the belly of the sea while Israel walked on dry ground to they having a pillar of fire and cloud to guide and protect them while their enemy was in gross darkness, from the miraculous fall of Jericho's walls to the complete destruction of the three nations that came against Israel, etc, God showed up in His glory on behalf of his children.

These are not just stories to excite you, they're powerful indicators that God will do yours when the time comes. Manifestation of God's glory is not limited to deliverance as we see in the examples mentioned above, they're orchestrations and combinations of strange acts beyond human logic that points only in the direction of God's awesome power. Have you seen God make a way in the most unlikely kinds of circumstances? Have you seen God come through for people when it seemed all hope was lost and their backs were against the wall?

Have you seen or heard anyone with a miraculous turnaround in their fortunes? Have you seen aging women get pregnant and delivered of their babies against medical reports and the wide-held science of menopause? See how God is described in Job, "He does great things too marvelous to understand. He performs countless miracles" (Job 9:10 NLT). Indeed, His wonders are without numbers, and He'll do one for you this week, in Jesus name.

INSPIRATION: One thing that can never be denied anyone carrying the glory of God is the manifestation of glory in strange ways. Today, we shall see the practical expressions of glory at work in the lives of the apostles. Apparently, they had been arrested by the authorities and put in prison for preaching about Jesus and performing miracles. That same night, an angel of the Lord stepped in and opened the prison doors and released them.

I decree over you today that every prison that life and the enemy has boxed you into against the will of God will no longer hold you down. The chains are broken are you're escaped through the supernatural intervention of angelic visitations, in Jesus name. Your deliverance and release will not follow the natural order of men. You'll be pulled out by the finger of God out of any humanly impossible situation; there's a way of escape orchestrated by the Spirit of God, because God is at work in your life.

When they think they have you locked down for destruction, God will disappoint them with your miraculous escape. The hand of God will be so mighty upon you to pull you out of every cave, pit and prison. For His name's sake and for the eternal purposes of fulfilling a divine mandate, you'll be preserved. A thousand shall fall at your right and tens of thousands at your left but no evil shall locate you. Concerning Jesus, they asked, "What manner of a man is this...?" Concerning you, you shall be a person wondered at because of the display of God's glory at work in your life. I speak prophetically over you, no evil shall befall you, in the name of Jesus.

Topic: YOU'RE NOT AN AFTERTHOUGHT (Part 3)!

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭John 2:9‭-‬10 NKJV

9. When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.
10. And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”

INSPIRATION: Jesus makes two very profound statements in the book of John whereon we shall base our discussion today. Firstly, Jesus said to Martha, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” (John 11:40). There's no glory outside our realm of believe. Whatever you cannot believe of God, you cannot see the manifestation. In this sense, your glory is connected to your faith. What is that which seems so big and impossible for you and for which the experts have said it can never happen? Dare to believe. For to him that believes, all things are possible (Mark 9:23).

Secondly, Jesus makes a prayer, followed by a voice response from heaven, "Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again" (John 12:27‭-‬28). When we do the Lord's work in the manner in which we're sent, there's glory that follows us. This is crucial as it opens you to the reality that you do not serve God in vain when you serve sincerely from your heart. Jesus focused on the business God sent Him to do on earth, ensuring that the purpose for which he came to earth is fulfilled.

When you value your assignment, virtue and glory will flow towards and upon you. At another place, Jesus prayed, "Glorify me with the glory I've glorified you with." What he meant was, I've done all you asked of me, now release your glory on me. Can I submit therefore that if you want to see and manifest glory, go about your Master's business with an unwavering commitment. He has not called the sons of Jacob to seek Him in vain (Isa. 45:19). Run your race, finish your assignment and wear your crown of glory also in the life after (2 Tim. 4:7-8).

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Keep faith alive in the midst of very negative happenings. Look beyond your storm. Hold on to your beliefs and confession. The storm would pass. See your story turn; See your new and sweeter wine; See greater glory revealed. See!

INSPIRATION: In the game of chess, there's always a last card that a player draws against his opponents to cause an upset in the overall result, and which often helps them win the game. God pulled a fast one, a once-for-a-life-time technical knockout against Satan when he raised Jesus from the dead (1 Cor. 2:7‭-‬8). That masterstroke is still a mystery till date as it did not only shatter all Satan's plans and projection, but also reconciled man back to God and his original state.

One of the hallmarks of Christ's death is bringing many sons into glory (Heb. 2:10). God cannot bring you into glory by Christ and you continue to wallow in shame, abject poverty and ignominy. He has made you sit together with him in heavenly places far above principalities and powers (Eph. 2:6; 1:21), and conferred on you the status of a Prince. He has made all things new and ushered you into a life of seamless possibilities, crowned with power and glory.

As Christ is, so we have become so that we can share and manifest in the glory he has with the Father. Now is the time to walk on your high places, to live in splendour, to reign in power and victory. Now is the time to put satan under your feet where he rightfully belongs.

Keep faith alive in the midst of very negative happenings. Look beyond your storm. Hold on to your beliefs and confession. The storm would pass. See your story turn; See your new and sweeter wine; See greater glory revealed. See!

Topic: YOU'RE NOT AN AFTERTHOUGHT!

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭John 2:9‭-‬10 NKJV

9. When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.
10. And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”

INSPIRATION: Oftentimes, life throws clogs in the wheels of your progress, making it look like you would never amount to anything. Failures upon failures, setbacks upon misfortune. Pray as hard as you may, and plan as best as you could, things seem to get more complicated and worse for you. It is at this verge you want to give up, thinking there's something fundamentally wrong about your life. You're not alone in this fight for meaning to all that's happening in your life.

Consider for once what it felt like not to have enough refreshments to entertain your guests on your wedding day! So bad it was for this couple Jesus had attended their wedding. So even when Jesus was present, something still went wrong!  But that things go wrong doesn't always mean or indicate you're wrong or finished. It's all Satan's ploy to steal your joy, and God's opportunity to showcase His glory. Storms came too to Jesus's boat, so it is not only you who experiences bad times. Let me quickly note that it is not everytime bad things happen that you attribute it to sin. Jesus did no sin, yet had storms.

The difference however, is that, satan does not have the final say. Sweet wine will be delivered miraculously when shame is about to overtake you; the glory of your latter rain shall be greater than your former. When Satan crucified Jesus, he thought he had won, but Jesus rose on the third day and broke the yoke of sin over our lives forever. If satan had known, he would not have killed Jesus; if he knew, he would never have made you go through your dark moments because the glory that's to be revealed in you because of that situation is going to shock the world. Hallelujah!!!

Memory Verse: ‭‭ "Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, She gave birth to her children" - Isaiah 66:8 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭John 3:8; Romans 8:26

John 3:8 NKJV
8.The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Romans 8:26 NKJV
26. Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

INSPIRATION: Today, I want to speak to this topic from the point of being born and led of the Spirit of God. John 3:8 tells us there's no limit or restriction to what one can do and achieve when he's led of the Spirit. It says like wind, no one can see where you're coming from or going to except for the visible effects and evidences that something is happening in your life. I wish we could take advantage of this scripture to progressively establish our dominion in the birthing room.

Anyone that is led and controlled by the Holy Spirit is a scheduled dynamite waiting to explode. Create impact by the leading of the Holy Spirit. Birth spirit-inspired destinies. How would you achieve this? Romans 8:26 says the Holy Spirit helps your weaknesses and intercedes greatly on your behalf. Where this happens, he takes over your prayer life and create outcomes like you can never imagine. This is where the birthing of destinies actually occur.

Now, you must understand that this is beyond wanting your own dreams and desires to flourish. It is about insisting on giving life to God's purposes for your life; it is you ensuring you give birth to what the Holy Spirit 'impregnates' you with. When you groan in the spirit, you're not just making sounds, you're travailing in your birthing place to push forth a divine project. Get back to the labour room right now. A lot depends on this experience.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Make a list of things you want to see happen or prevent from happening in your life. Take a stand, make decrees, declare pronouncements on your list in faith. Pray intensely in the Holy Spirit. Call your future into being (Rom. 4:17).

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭Job 38:12‭-‬13 NKJV

12. “Have you commanded the morning since your days began, And caused the dawn to know its place,
13. That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it?

INSPIRATION: In one of our series a few days ago, we established that from within you would be an outburst, an overflow, when you thirst and drink from the fountain of the Holy Spirit (John 7:38). But Isaiah gives another twist to this when it talks about birthing. We're in the birthing season of our lives. We've been nursing the pregnancy or preparing to get pregnant ever since and it's time to push forth the baby.

The womb of the spirit cannot accommodate the seed anymore. It's time to push the vision, the assignment and God's purposes out. It's time to push forth that dream to reality. Once a pregnancy has been carried to full term, both mother and child becomes uncomfortable as the woman anticipates her delivery date. When it is time, she's got to push out the baby with the assistance of the midwife.

This is the divine season of your that should midwife and facilitate your birthing processes. Job asked, "Have you commanded your morning...?" Have you spoken yet to the womb of your season? Have you made decrees, declarations and pronouncements into the year? Have engaged the forces of nature and sent your angels on assignment yet? Have you, like God, set boundaries to your sea so that it doesn't not overflow its boundaries?

No woman becomes pregnant and wants to have a stillbirth or experience a miscarriage. You can't have a miscarriage to the dreams of your destimy either. We're entering the labour room and bringing every 'child' to life. The birth pains that begun long ago is coming to a joyful end with the birthing of your miracle. Give effect to every dream you've been nursing all the while. Push them to life and limelight. You will deliver in full without fail.

Memory Verse: ‭‭ "But you should all constantly boil over with passion in seeking the higher gifts. And now I will show you a superior way to live that is beyond comparison!" - 1 Corinthians 12:31 TPT

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV

19. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

INSPIRATION: Jesus shares a parable in Luke 14: 28 - 29 about someone intending to build a tower, and leaves us with some powerful insights to glean from. To build a tower, he has to first sit down and cost it! Have you ever cost your choices to know all it requires? Are your choices a reflection of you are in terms of the values that guide your life? Do they reflect your worth? Are they 'expensive' relative to your resources? Are they objective-driven or self-serving? Who or what else is left to suffer each time you make choices?

The second consideration from Jesus's parable of the tower is your ability to finish it. Does your choice lead to logical and praiseworthy conclusions? Do you have a holistic view of events before you choose? So many persons have no problems with starting out, but they're always never able to finish up. They've repeated circles of near-success syndrome with nothing to show for their effort; just busy running in circles without progress, and they keep following same routine to their detriment.

The last part of concern from this parable is the mockery that follows the builder's inability to complete what he begun (Luke 14: 29). Are your choices devoid of end results that bring shame and mockery? Are you proud you make such decisions? Do you wallow in self-defeat and regrets for your choices? Can you publicly own up to the private choices you make? Whilst God doesn't glory in our shame, some people have a default setting of making wrong choices that bring them perpetual shame! This negative trend must be checked and curtailed.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

What informs your choices? Those who trivialise the power of making the right choices end up with deep-seated regrets. Don't add to this negative statistics.

It suggests that there're other ways to live that are inferior to what he proposes. At times you may think you've it all based on your own limitations, but if you'd just allow a little push, you'd soon realise there exists greater heights you haven't yet attained, bigger opportunities you haven't accessed yet, and more to life than you could ever imagine.

Shortsightedness and our inability to dream big can short-circuit us, leaving us to glory in the mundane while the real substance is left untapped. It is the reason a Cain would prefer to kill an Abel and a Lot would prefer to choose before his uncle, Abraham. It is the reason an Esau would sell his birthright. It is the reason many pick a glittering worthless piece over treasures of gold and diamonds. God suggests we choose life so we and our seed my live. Do you factor posterity into your choices when you make them?

Your choice of a spouse, career, business, where to live, what to invest in, who not to associate with, does it have a universal outlook that considers your seed? God said of Abraham, "He'll direct his children and household to keep the way of the Lord" (Gen. 18: 19); Joshua chose to serve the Lord with his household (Josh. 24: 15); Joseph chose not to do wickedness and sin against God (Gen. 39: 9); Daniel chose not to defy himself with the king's food (Dan. 1: 8); Moses chose to suffer shame with God's people (Heb. 11: 24-25); Esther would rather perish than let Israel be killed (Est. 4: 16); Ruth chose the God of Naomi (Ruth 1: 16); Rahab, the harlot, chose to save Israeli spies (Josh. 6: 25), etc, all of which gained glory for choosing aright.

Memory Verse: ‭‭ "See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil" - Deuteronomy 30:15 KJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV

19. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

INSPIRATION: Every now and again, life presents us with choices to make that are determinants of either our rise or fall. We all are products of choices, either the ones we made by ourselves or those made for us by others like our parents, government policies, organisational structures, etc. Either ways, we're positively or negatively impacted by these choices directly or indirectly. Therefore, to make choices on impulse would be an unwise decision to make that may come with far-reaching consequences.

Sometimes, people think they're too smart to make bad choices. But over time, we've seen destinies ruined, conglomerates fold up, and great relationships crumble on the altar of a wrong decision. Choices come with power, the effect or results can alter life's dynamics forever. That's why we must be present in the moment while choosing. If you choose by the dictates of your emotions, the pain is yours to nurse if the results turn out bad; if you get it right, the rewards are yours to enjoy eventually.

Never forget a bad decision is like an earth tremor with far-reaching consequences. It is against this background Moses tells us to choose life and blessings as against death and curses. There're choices that lead to life's blessings, there's those that lead to death or produce curses. Don't be vain to choose the way that seems right in your eyes (Prov. 14: 12): that's death calling you, be it death in business capital, death in love, death in ideas, or death as in ceasation of life. Paul says, "... And now I will show you a superior way to live that is beyond comparison" (1 Cori 12:31 TPT)!

Topic: MADE BY CHOICE!

Memory Verse: ‭‭ "See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil" - Deuteronomy 30:15 KJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV

19. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

INSPIRATION: Every now and again, life presents us with choices to make that are determinants of either our rise or fall. We all are products of choices, either the ones we made by ourselves or those made for us by others like our parents, government policies, organisational structures, etc. Either ways, we're positively or negatively impacted by these choices directly or indirectly. Therefore, to make choices on impulse would be an unwise decision to make that may come with far-reaching consequences.

Sometimes, people think they're too smart to make bad choices. But over time, we've seen destinies ruined, conglomerates fold up, and great relationships crumble on the altar of a wrong decision. Choices come with power, the effect or results can alter life's dynamics forever. That's why we must be present in the moment while choosing. If you choose by the dictates of your emotions, the pain is yours to nurse if the results turn out bad; if you get it right, the rewards are yours to enjoy eventually.

Never forget a bad decision is like an earth tremor with far-reaching consequences. It is against this background Moses tells us to choose life and blessings as against death and curses. There're choices that lead to life's blessings, there's those that lead to death or produce curses. Don't be vain to choose the way that seems right in your eyes (Prov. 14: 12): that's death calling you, be it death in business capital, death in love, death in ideas, or death as in ceasation of life. Paul says, "... And now I will show you a superior way to live that is beyond comparison" (1 Cori 12:31 TPT)!

Topic: QUENCH YOUR THIRST NOW (Part 3)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭ "Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be filled with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him" - Ephesians 5:18 AMP

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭John 7:37‭-‬38 NKJV

37. On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
38. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”

INSPIRATION: The phrase, "let him come to Me and drink" (John 7: 37), is a call to personal action. No one can or should drink for you to quench your own thirst. It's the degree to how thirsty you are that determines how eager you are to drink and the volume to consume to quench your thirst. Another factor is how refreshing to your taste is the object you want to use in satisfying your thirst. Not all liquid in-take can actually quench thirst. So what are you thirsty for? 

Are you thirsty for knowlege? Reach out to the reservoir of knowledge in that field and cure your ignorance. Are you thirsty for love or friendship? Show yourself loving and friendly! Are you thirsty for growth? Eat right, eat healthy, whether it be edible food or assimilation of the right knowledge that aids your expansion, whatever growth you seek, do right by yourself to get the consumption of the requisite resource. If you're truly thirsty, nothing should be left to chance to quench it legitimately. 

Be intentional not to use the wrong stuff to quench your thirst. Our memory verse says to do so is wickedness, corruption and stupidity (Eph. 5: 18 AMP). That leaves us to wonder how often we've been wicked to ourselves, leading corrupt ways to get to an otherwise legitimate end. If the process is wrong, the result would be flawed! To think otherwise amounts to stupidity. So, get your acts together as scriptures has recommended if you ever desire to quench your thirst and experience an overflow thereafter.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Determine whether you're satisfied at your current level of manifestation or you want more. Take the prescription of Jesus more seriously; thirst and drink more. Dig deeper

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please quench my thirst and fill me till I burst out with the overflow of your deposits in me.

38. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”

INSPIRATION: An inner longing for more that's not backed up by corresponding action would yield frustration. The fuel for desire is the passion expended in the pursuit of that desire. Jesus said, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink" (John 7: 37). You cannot be thirsty and not reach for a drink, especially, water! You cannot want something and not go for it. The proof of desire is in your pursuit. What are your desires and how are you pursuing those desires?

Your thirst will always be there. It can't be wished away or denied. Rather, it places a responsibility on you to strive towards its satisfaction. Your corresponding action to satisfy that desire is what births the overflow that Jesus calls the thirsty to come experience! There're overflows waiting for you to break into but for it to happen, you must be thirsty and desirous of this drink. Take a deep dive from where you are into what you desire. Quit dwelling on the peripherals if you want a big catch.

There's a guaranteed reward for those who go down into deep waters of the sea with ships to do business (Psalm 107: 23). Your desire to quench your thirst should drive you to break boundaries. Do a deep dive, roughen some feathers until you drill out the substance you can trade off at greatly valuable rates. Exchange mediocrity for excellence; fear for boldness; shallowness for increased capacity. If you do not like your current harvest, make that harvest your planting seed. Be big in investing in your future!

38. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”

INSPIRATION: Over the last few days or weeks, we've gone through several series on how to experience and enjoy glorious manifestations, and it's been an awesome experience. Today, God would have us consider a key topic: "Quench Your Thirst Now," by adding a layer of building blocks on all we've dealt with over time. It is no secret that a lot of us have an inner longing for more. We desire to see more of God's glory, an overflow of his blessings, walking in the supernatural and witnessing the miraculous, etc.

How so wonderful it is to have such feelings and desires. Interestingly, Jesus offers a solution: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink." You should not just desire it, you must come for a drink! A lot of believers want to experience the supernatural but don't want to follow Jesus's prescription. You won't get the experience except you come and drink! Jesus's teaching points us thus, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled" (Matt. 5:6). The blessedness is not that you hunger but that you're filled! To fill your thirst, you must go for a conscious, deliberate drink.

You must plan your feeding diet with God: drink of the Holy Spirit, drink of the Word, drink of the fellowship of God's presence, drink of the revelational insight he inspires your heart with, etc. The overflow will not come when you're empty, devoid of spiritual sensitivity and drained of the appetite for more. God will only fill you to the capacity that you open yourself up to him. Rivers of manifestation will not flow out of your heart or belly except you determine to quench that thirst. The moment is yours; seize it!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Determine whether you're satisfied at your current level of manifestation or you want more. Take the prescription of Jesus more seriously; thirst and drink more. Go deeper in God. Pray intensely in the Holy Spirit. Build a personal fellowship altar with the Holy Spirit.

Memory Verse: ‭‭ "So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’" - Luke 19:13 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Luke 19:26 NKJV

26. ‘For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

INSPIRATION: Luke's account of the man who gave out talents and what each made of what was given to them focuses on working our gift to produce profit.  "Well done, thou faithful servant," was the refrain to those who made use of theirs. Talents and gifts don't grow unless you work at improving them; you won't get any better or gain mastery if you don't deploy what has been given to you. Idleness is not holiness, neither is it a fruit of the Spirit.

To sit idly in God's house either as a resolve from a past painful experience or 'I don't want to be involved' attitude, is to deny your sonship and make yourself an outcast. The man who didn't use his talent received a just rewards for his wickedness. Our actions carry consequences. Serving the Lord is a privilege we must never abuse. Holding an office in a ministry is not a right but a call to dedicated service. 

Partial service is complete disservice. May your actions not make God regret like he did over king Saul; may God not consider raising stones to serve in your place. Don't be a liability to the kingdom after being so heavily endowed. Don't become an unreliable and undependable person to the body of Christ. Do not judge God unfaithful for bestowing on you such graces as you have and don't stay uselessly idle either.

INSPIRATION: When we say, 'Get To Work Already' or 'Get Busy,' we must understand that it is not every activity that we engage in falls within the category of God's business, for which our discussion is focused. Martha got busy cooking to serve Jesus (Luke 10: 38-42), but her activities didn't get the endorsement and praise of Jesus. This calls for caution when we serve in God's vineyard. To occupy therefore, is to consciously align in thoughts and action in our execution of God's business.

Many people do God's business with reckless abandon; they're only interested in the rewards and glories associated with the office, not because they love the Lord or want to serve in his vineyard with all their heart. Jesus asked, "Why look for me, don't you know I must be about My Father’s business?" Are you mindful of the Father’s business under your charge? God says, 'Do business till I come.' It means, he expects you to engage in some form of 'commerce' to sell his product, drive sales to penetrate the 'market' and win more 'customers.'

Owing to the last statement above, can you say you've fared very well in handling God's business? How profitably and judiciously have you used your gifts, talents and graces? Where has your calling been felt? Sometimes, don't just hurry through a bible verse. Take your dictionary or google the word, 'Occupy,' and think deeply about its many usages and meanings. How dominant is your presence, influence and impact in your assignment? But whilst at it, remember God sees in secrets and cannot be deceived.

Glory comes in the place of service; in the place of passionate, dedicated service, where you're consumed by the zeal of the Lord.

The right zeal, not eye service (Eph. 6:6), confers a sense of deep-seated responsibility on you to please the Master, and to be about His business. When the Master says to, "Do business till I come," or "Occupy till I come," what comes to your mind? You can't occupy or do business with the Lord's assignment when you've been idle all along; you can't do business the Lord's way when you haven't been a faithful and committed steward. Stewardship stems from relationship.

Stewardship is a training ground, a breeding process to mature you into mastery. But the key remains faithful accountability. If you're called upon right this minute to render account of your service to God (Rom. 14:12), would you have justification for your actions before the all-knowing God like you would have before men? To get busy doing business till he comes is to deploy all of the resources he's given you to ensuring that the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ (Rev. 11:15).

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Know your assignment and map out a strategy to dispense with it faithfully. Determine that God's business in your hands must not suffer loss or neglect. Get busy. The standards of faithfulness in stewardship is God's. Measure your services using God's scales, not yours.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, teach and help me to prioritise your work, to serve with diligence and be busy in the real sense of it. Cause my stewardship to come to You as a sweet, pleasing savour, that brings you delight while making me to shine forth gloriously, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/64419569Mon, 17 Feb 2025 16:12:29 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Tuesday, February 18, 2025 Topic: GET TO WORK ALREADY!

Memory Verse: ‭‭ "So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’" - Luke 19:13 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Luke 19:26 NKJV

26. ‘For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

INSPIRATION: As we approach this subject today, two scriptures come to mind: And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” (Luke 2:49) and "Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful" (1 Corin. 4:2).

Memory Verse: ‭‭ "Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him" - Genesis 26:12 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Genesis 26:18 NKJV

18. And Isaac dug again the wells of water which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham. He called them by the names which his father had called them.

INSPIRATION: Now, let's zero this in on spiritual growth and manifestation. Wishes doesn't confer greatness on us. Anointing doesn't come by association, feeling or mere desire without committing to the spiritual protocol for one to be anointed. Afterall, though Saul prophesied amongst the sons of the prophets, the experience did not outlast that moment. Anyone who wants to walk in the miraculous must be willing to ascend the hills God (Ps. 24:3-4).

Take a cue from when David was anointed king, all his elder brothers who appeared before the prophet Samuel were shocked that the oil did not flow on them. The anointing will not flow on you unless you fulfil the protocol of the Spirit to be anointed. Jesus said, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me because..." (Luke 4:18-19; Isa. 61:1-2). There is a "because" condition that you must of necessity meet if you must manifest the glory of God.

Isaac sowed in the land. Are you putting in the work for your spiritual growth? Are you being intentional about the level of graces and manifestation you want to walk in or you give up too soon? How consciously are you determined to align in the Spirit to God's leading? Isaac dug again the wells of Abraham... Growth in the Spirit is not a one off exercise. You cannot relax or give space otherwise the cares of this life will choke and dry up the grounds you've gained already. Paul told Timothy to stir up the gift of God on his inside (2 Tim. 1:6).

Rivers of water cannot flow out of your belly or heart (John 7:38) unless you consciously and deliberately stir up the anointing of God in your life. To be anointed, pay the price in study, searching, praying, fasting, consecration and every other spiritual discipline that you need to grow. One way that indicates you're growing is that you do not need to wait to be prophesied to. Rather, a Prophet will only confirm what God has been telling you (Isa. 44:26) whenever he or she comes your way.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Glory comes with a huge price. Pay for it now that you've all the time and strength. Sow massively and extensively to secure a glorious and enviable future. Partner with the Holy Spirit to show you the areas of your life to work on and invest in.

18. And Isaac dug again the wells of water which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham. He called them by the names which his father had called them.

INSPIRATION: Harvest is the end-result of a series of preparation and activities that begin long before the harvest. In most cases, except where the harvest is generally bad out of no fault of the farmer, your pre-harvest activities determine your actual harvest. In this kingdom, you cannot expect a great harvest without putting in the work. Do not let a distortion of the concept of grace and mercy fool you. After grace and mercy has found you, your investment in the work will determine your growth and results.

For instance, you cannot be prayerless and faithless but expect to walk in miracles or do signs and wonders. You cannot spend your income recklessly and expect not to be poor. Isaac sowed in the land and reaped a hundredfold increase! What are you sowing in your 'land'? What are you consciously sowing in your spiritual life, family, career, business, etc? Where are those areas you want to see great harvest this year, and how are you investing in them?

And Isaac dug again the wells of his father which the Philistines had stopped. This looks like revisiting and reworking a failed project. But He kept at it, not minding the opposition. At the end, he hit his Rehoboth called a place of much room and fruitfulness. Nothing fails until you give up trying. The point here is, put in the work for the harvest you seek.

Stop being lazy but fervent in spirit, serving the Lord (Rom. 12: 11). Read this verse in as many bible translations as you have, then ask yourself, "Am I diligent, hardworking, enthusiastic, passionate, fueled up enough for the harvest I want to see or am I burning out, lazy, slothful, lagging behind, etc?" That harvest will not fall on your laps as you sit idly doing nothing.

INSPIRATION: Each time we hear or see a harvest, our joy heightens. But there's something that comes before harvest that we mostly do not want to talk about. Planting always comes before harvest, and those who fail to sow should not expect any harvest. Still, sowing is not enough to guarantee a healthy harvest. You must ensure you prepared the soil, sowed healthy seeds, weed around the crops and tend to your plants for your harvest to be good.

A glorious manifestation doesn't occur by chance; spiritual things are not like magic or gamble. You've to work at it to see it. Preparing for harvest comes with a lot of work invested to see the resultant harvest. In our biblical reference text today, we see two accounts of Isaac actively engaging to secure a good harvest. First, he sowed in the land! How is it that this generation want to harvest where they've not sown? You're not sowing into your future so where will the harvest come from?

Secondly, he dug again the wells of his father. Bible history has it that a well then in Isaac's days, was more important than a bank account. Digging and owning a well makes you automatically a very rich man as it caters to your crop irrigation and livestock needs. Isaac put aside his fame as Abraham's son to invest for his future. You can't do otherwise if you want a glorious manifestation. You've got to press in.

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Luke 5:4‭-‬6 NKJV

4. When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
5. But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.”
6. And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.

INSPIRATION: Most often than not, moments of crisis are divinely arranged opportunities for the believer to launch new products and services that would give them comparative advantage over others. But as in most cases, we're either too blind or too insensitive to see the opportunities. Spiritually, Abraham lifted his eyes and saw all the land during a crisis moment with Lot; Joseph came to Pharaoh/Egypt's rescue during a national crisis; Ruth walked through a devastating crisis to become Jesus's great grandmother.

What can you birth spiritually when all hell is breaking loose around you? Whilst we pray, we must be creatively productive and forward-thinking too, knowing that opportunities would never be dressed in the garment we expect to see them dressed in. It is in moments of confusion and crisis such as we're in right now that many great businesses were birthed to cater to the needs of the people and to cushion the effects of the crisis.

Peter was in a crisis moment: he had gone to his fishing business all night but caught nothing. This sounds familiar, I guess. You may have invested so much but have nothing to show as your reward. There's a word for you that only you must hear: launch into the deep and cast your net. Jesus had just finished speaking to the crowd when he spoke directly to Peter.

The word that will take you into your breakthrough is not a general word but a specific rhema-word tailored to address the peculiarities and specificity of your situation. You cannot afford to miss that word. "He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions" - Psalms 107:20.

INSPIRATION: One of the greatest setbacks of anyone is their ability to take the initiative and launch out.

Launching into a new venture comes with a lot of calculated risks, but until you do, you would never know the potentials you have to hit big successes with it.

Peter was asked to launch out but inertia almost ruined that miraculous moment when he said, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing..." Fear will always present negative statistics but we must have the faith and resilient spirit of a, "...nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.” Anytime we have a command from the Lord, this must be our response.

Here's the point: there're ministries and ministry assignments to launch out into; business venture to explore and launch into; new partnership to establish; new pathways to discover, there're collaborations with the Holy Spirit that needs to be birthed; deeper intimacies to be initiated and driven by you, etc. Do not go down to the grave with all that energy, opportunity and potential.

Stop procrastinating. Stop feeling inadequate or ill-prepared. No man has ever had enough preparation for anything big God is calling them into. Your case wouldn't be different.

Peter was asked to launch out but inertia almost ruined that miraculous moment when he said, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing..." Fear will always present negative statistics but we must have the faith and resilient spirit of a, "...nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.” Anytime we have a command from the Lord, this must be our response.

Here's the point: there're ministries and ministry assignments to launch out into; business venture to explore and launch into; new partnership to establish; new pathways to discover, there're collaborations with the Holy Spirit that needs to be birthed; deeper intimacies to be initiated and driven by you, etc. Do not go down to the grave with all that energy, opportunity and potential.

Stop procrastinating. Stop feeling inadequate or ill-prepared. No man has ever had enough preparation for anything big God is calling them into. Your case wouldn't be different. Peter didn't know the miraculous breakthrough that awaited him until he made the move. You don't know what you'll catch when you take that step. Fortunately, the Holy Spirit will teach you how and what to do. He will guide you when you launch

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Get specific divine instructions for your life and act on them immediately. Deal with your fears and do not allow the voice of negativity stop you. Partner with the Holy Spirit and ask Him to teach you what to do and how to do it.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, teach me how to launch out into your ordained purposes for my life and give me the courage to stay true to a life of purpose. As I activate my faith and launch into whatever You lead me into, may I have net-breaking harvests for my efforts, in Jesus name.]]>476falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-power-of-true-love--64321300 With Emmanuel Afiawari

Topic: THE POWER OF TRUE LOVE!

Memory Verse: ‭‭ "The Lord disciplines everyone he loves; he punishes everyone he accepts as a child" - Hebrews 12:6 ERV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭2 Corinthians 5:14A AMP

14. For the love of Christ controls and compels us, ...

INSPIRATION: Many atimes, we've often been told that love is expressive. That is, you not only showcase it, but you've the freedom to act as occasion serves you while in love. Contextually, whilst this may be true to some extent, to act out of control would be a sign of weakness rather than something to celebrate. Paul says, "The love of God constraints me" (2 Cor. 5:14).

When we're exposed to and wrapped in God's love, our choices are narrowed from the wild array of meaningless emptiness that do not conform to any standards or the will of God to something concise and purpose-driven. Love compels us to do right by ourselves, just as we do right by God and the people in our lives.

Scripture tells us to stand in the liberty (freedom) whereby we've been made free, "We have freedom now, because Christ made us free. So stand strong in that freedom. Don’t go back into slavery again" (Gal. 5:1). But liberty should not be used as an occasion to sin, "My brothers and sisters, God chose you to be free. But don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do what pleases your sinful selves. Instead, serve each other with love" (Gal 5:13).

Now, here's the point, God's love will compel, constrain or control you from acting like those in the world. God's love will narrow your options; you can't act like those still in darkness, rather, you'd be under control. You must submit to this control else you'd suffer strict discipline from God because those he loves, he disciplines. God could not have loved and deposited so much in you and you act reckless and wreck your life just because you're in love.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Develop God's kind of love. Demonstrate genuine love towards others. Bring yourself under strict control dictated by God's love. Think before you say or do anything: will God be pleased with me for saying or doing this? If no, don't; if yes, go ahead.

Memory Verse: ‭‭ "Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good" - Romans 12:9 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ Romans 12:17‭-‬18 NKJV

17. Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.
18. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men

INSPIRATION: There's no better time than now to echo Jesus's instructions on love. Love your neighbour as yourself, he says. But before we do this, we must first love God with all our heart, mind and strength. When we commit to or subscribe to God-kind of love, loving others come easy. When we do love in God's way, the desire to repay evil for evil dies naturally.

True love causes our bowels of mercy to overflow with meekness and compassion that wells up in excess from deep within our hearts. It then makes living peaceably with others come easily. Why is this so? Paul lists certain characteristics of love: "Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth* (1 Cor. 13: 4 - 6)

"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things" (1 Cor 13: 7). Whoever cultivates and develops the traits above by which love is defined has developed characteristics that make him a conqueror. Love will task your resolve but it will build your resilience, build your ability to forgive and place you at advantage over others. Love conquers all.

Memory Verse: ‭‭ "And you shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs” - Exodus 4:17 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ 2 Kings 2:8‭, ‬14 NKJV

8. Now Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up, and struck the water; and it was divided this way and that, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
14. Then he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, “Where is the Lord God of Elijah?” And when he also had struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over.

INSPIRATION: Paul counsels us to, "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Eph. 6:11), and to, "Take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand" - (Eph. 6:13). To "put on" and to "take up" divine armours are not just mere clichés or meaningless instructions. They call for a very conscious, deliberate and active participation from us.

To overlook these instructions is to run life at your own peril. When you "put on" the whole armour, it enables you to stand against the tricks of the devil; and when you "take up," you're guaranteed a stamina that withstand anything. But of more significance are the things listed that must be carried in our journey of spiritual warfare (Eph. 6:10-18). Did you notice Verse 17 and what it says? "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;" (Eph. 6:17).

How does anyone even think of going on a spiritual warfare without carrying the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God? Joshua lists meditating on the Word of God as a major criteria for good success (Josh. 1:8). Jesus overcame the devil's temptation by quoting the Word (He was quoting himself)! The word is the believer's tool for victory over every of life's challenge. The more of God's word you know and apply, the easier and more rewarding your life will be. Therefore, whatever you do, take with you this mantle.

INSPIRATION: Winning in life comes easy when you follow superior strategies. God spoke to Moses, "And you shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs” - Exo. 4:17. The rod is your mantle, and has nothing to do with a physical stick, handkerchief or something physical. It is the Word of God. David tells us, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me" (Ps 23:4).

There's no comfort one can derive from a piece of stick (rod) but you can enjoy endless comfort from the Word of God (Ps. 119:45-50; Heb. 13:5-6). Moses was told, "The rod in your hands is your only chance to do signs." Any miracle not traceable to the Word (Jesus) is a fraud. Take the word in your hands, bind it in your heart (Deu. 6:8; 11:18-19). If you want to operate in signs and miracles, get deeply rooted in the Word. When you strike any mountain with the Word, it will give way (Mk. 11:23).

Elijah hit the water with the rod and it parted; Elisha did same, the waters rolled back. Same experience Moses had. The Word has never failed to produce results. If you're not getting results, you probably might not be applying the Word correctly or apllying enough of it. The Scriptural prescription for miracles is the right application of God's Word. Your ignorance of the Word limits your access to the miraculous.

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Mark 1:27 NKJV

27. Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.”

INSPIRATION: Jesus, in all of his days on earth, continued to break protocol and cause people to wonder at him. At age 12, he reasoned with the teachers of the law in the temple and outdid them; years later, he turned water into wine; healed on the sabbath; cast out devils, raised the dead, fed the hungry, got money from a fish, etc, and many other very notable miracles. Wherever he went and taught, the power of God was present to heal them (Luke 5:17).

Miracles and supernatural display were characteristics and distinguishing feature of his earthly ministry, and people took notice of it. Was it because He was Jesus, the Son of God that made the difference? No, it was more because he prepared himself for it. How did he prepare for it? Firstly, He was always found at the centre of God's will. Doing God's will generates power for effectiveness. Secondly, He was always isolating himself to pray. Effectual fervent prayers makes tremendous power available (James 5:16) and this power is dynamic in its effect. Jesus knew how to put this tool to use.

You cannot work miracles where you've not generated power; you cannot have authority that commands demons into obedience (Mark 1:27) if you've not waited on the Lord (Isa 40:31). "Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!" (Psalms 27:14).

Memory Verse: ‭‭ "Buy the truth, and do not sell it, also wisdom and instruction and understanding" - Proverbs 23:23 NKJV

44. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

INSPIRATION: Jesus, while explaining the meaning of one of his parables said to his disciples, "To you, it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom" (Matt. 13:11). There're kingdom mysteries with hidden treasures that are never easily accessible unless you press deeper in the place of fellowship with the Holy Spirit, the Revelator, with indepth research and waiting on the Lord in prayers.

The secrets that deliver the most results in this kingdom are hidden from ordinary people. Until you pay the price for the extra, you cannot become extraordinary, or enjoy privileged graces. A company that drills for oil will keep exploring deeply until they find a oil well; those who mine gold, diamond and other precious metals give their all in their quest to discover these precious metals in large quantities.

Real treasures in this kingdom are not open to ordinary eyes who operate on surface level. You only find them when you seek, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you" (Matt. 7:7). This year, if we must locate our portion of hidden treasures, we must not be lazy to ask, seek and knock.

Topic: MAKE THAT PURCHASE NOW (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭ "Buy the truth, and do not sell it, also wisdom and instruction and understanding" - Proverbs 23:23 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Matthew 13:44 NKJV

44. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

INSPIRATION: Jesus, while explaining the meaning of one of his parables said to his disciples, "To you, it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom" (Matt. 13:11). There're kingdom mysteries with hidden treasures that are never easily accessible unless you press deeper in the place of fellowship with the Holy Spirit, the Revelator, with indepth research and waiting on the Lord in prayers.

The secrets that deliver the most results in this kingdom are hidden from ordinary people. Until you pay the price for the extra, you cannot become extraordinary, or enjoy privileged graces. A company that drills for oil will keep exploring deeply until they find a oil well; those who mine gold, diamond and other precious metals give their all in their quest to discover these precious metals in large quantities.

Real treasures in this kingdom are not open to ordinary eyes who operate on surface level. You only find them when you seek, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you" (Matt. 7:7). This year, if we must locate our portion of hidden treasures, we must not be lazy to ask, seek and knock. The fervency with which we drive our quest of locating these hidden treasures would determine whether or not we would manifest gloriously.

Memory Verse: ‭‭ "Buy the truth, and do not sell it, also wisdom and instruction and understanding" - Proverbs 23:23 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Matthew 13:44 NKJV

44. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

INSPIRATION: Oh! How I love Jesus!! He's a Specialist at pointing us away from our thoughts to something that's of eternal value which may not have caught our attention. In this striking directive, Jesus instructs through a parable the need to buy a field. Why? Because treasures are hidden in it. In the parable, a man discovers a field with hidden treasures and then goes to sell all he had to raise money to buy the field.

The question that comes to mind is, what constitutes a treasure to you? Whilst you think of this, remember Jesus's statement, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" - (Matt. 6:21). Where is your heart inclined towards? When you find an answer to this very important question, the command is, buy that place. What this implies is, if you want to see glorious manifestation this year, you must invest in what is important and of value to you.

Understanding that value is relative, rather than universal, what constitutes value to you might not be same for others. Regardless of this dichotomy, what are you willing to pay in exchange for the value you seek? There's a price to pay to get power, there's personal development processes to engage to advance in life. You can't wish for greatness without applying yourself to the principles that make for greatness. Success is not a wish, it is a dogged disciplined pursuit. Hence, Proverbs say, "Buy the truth, and do not sell it..." Go, buy that field today.

Topic: ANOINTED TO MANIFEST RESULTS (Part 3)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭ "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him." - Acts 10:38 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ Luke 4:18‭-‬19 NKJV

19. The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed;
19. To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.

INSPIRATION: Today, another phrase catches our attention from our Bible text: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, ...HE HAS SENT ME TO..." You cannot be anointed and not sent on an assignment. The assignment is what guarantees the release of the anointing. As a result, you must consciously ask yourself questions like, *"What's my assignment? What am I sent to do? Who am I sent to"?*

Your message is encoded in your assignment and the anointing is the proof of your authenticity. Paul argues, "How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? *And how shall they preach unless they are sent?* ..." (Rom 10:14‭-‬15). What are you sent here to do? When believers ponder critically on this, their perception of service in the kingdom changes and aligns with God's mandate for their lives.

When this consciousness becomes overwhelmingly burning in the hearts and spirits of believers, the anointing flows naturally with attendant miracles following. It's at this point you begin to witness signs and wonders. Naturally, the anointing flows ceaselessly when you operate within the parameters of your calling and ministering to those whom you're sent to. When you operate from this zone, there's no mountain or demon that can stand before you.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Do a deep, conscious search to know those you're sent to and your assignment. Do you know the nature of your message and medium of transmission? If not, find out. You can never make any lastlong meaningful impact outside the Holy Spirit. Get Him involved.

INSPIRATION: There's a catchy phrase in our Scriptural reading that we must not lose sight of: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to..." Whenever the Spirit of God comes on anyone, he comes with an anointing to carry out specific tasks. The assignment necessitates the investment of the anointing and the depositor or creditor is the Holy Spirit.

If he can't find any assignment upon your life that's worthy of his investments, you won't get any deposits of the anointing. This should worry you when next you seek God's increased anointing upon your life. The question would always be, "Anointing for what?" Until you're able to answer this "for what question," you're most uncertain about your assignment. God will never back up any project he didn't commission. What are you anointed for?

After the anointing came upon Jesus at his baptism, he went on a miracle performing spree. The anointing commissioned and licensed Him to produce results. If your anointing doesn't stir you up to go about doing good, healing the sick and causing deliverance for the oppressed, something might be wrong with your source of power. Whilst we agree the anointing is not for show, Jesus showed us a clear example to follow, which is, to go about performing miracles.

Miracles are the identity of believers but to gloriously manifest the miraculous, the Spirit of the Lord must be upon you.

This is the key that opens the door to the manifestation of diverse kinds of glorious acts. The anointing of the Holy Spirit upon us is the difference-maker. In Jesus's case, the Spirit of the Lord was upon Him because of the anointing to work the miraculous.

Jesus went about doing good and healing the oppressed.

When the Spirit of God comes upon you, the offshoot is the manifestation of miracles.

Memory Verse: ‭‭ "For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you" - Isaiah 60:2 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ Exodus 10:22‭-‬23 NKJV

22. So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.
23. They did not see one another; nor did anyone rise from his place for three days. But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

INSPIRATION: There's something about the glorious manifestation of light in our lives that cannot be hidden. The higher the intensity, the greater its effect and manifest results. When you access and carry this light, you become a reference point to others and your level of impact won't be difficult to notice. God distinguished between the Israelites and Egyptian with light. The part where Israel dwelt had light but darkness was on all the other parts of Egypt.

As children of light, we should never walk in darkness because that's not part of God's original design for us. Whilst there was darkness on the ungodly Egypt for three days, paralysing activities, Israel went about her business because they had light. It underscores the point that the absence of light can put a stop to all forms of activities in our lives.

Isaiah tells us that while the world suffers gross darkness, the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you (Isa. 60:2). When this happens, then and only then, "The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising" (Isa 60:3). If you have no light to manifest, there's nothing in you to attract the Gentiles and kings to you. Invariably, it is not a matter of you declaring it but you living by God's principles that generate this light that attracts men and nobility unto you.

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭2 Kings 6:1‭-‬2 NKJV

1. And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we dwell with you is too small for us.
2. Please, let us go to the Jordan, and let every man take a beam from there, and let us make there a place where we may dwell.” So he answered, “Go.”

INSPIRATION: To spread your reach is to build capacity for more; it to strive to do better than you're already doing. It is to reinvent yourself and evolve into a vessel endowed with graces and potentials that enables you deliver on any task. Tasks vary in contexts depending on your area of pursuit. In this race, you must be willing to journey where others won't if you must get results they can't get.

Some key areas to build capacity this year are: spiritual, family, career, finance, morals, etc. Spiritually, you must be prepared to take a journey in separation, fasting and consecration to generate momentum for your flight. Be a spirit-controlled believer. Family is the bedrock of any society. Develop firm family values that will stand you out and help you weather the storms of life; set career goals you must pursue and attain this year.

Topic: SPREAD YOUR REACH (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭ "Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; do not spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes" - Isaiah 54:2 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭2 Kings 6:1‭-‬2 NKJV

1. And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we dwell with you is too small for us.
2. Please, let us go to the Jordan, and let every man take a beam from there, and let us make there a place where we may dwell.” So he answered, “Go.”

INSPIRATION: To spread your reach is to build capacity for more; it to strive to do better than you're already doing. It is to reinvent yourself and evolve into a vessel endowed with graces and potentials that enables you deliver on any task. Tasks vary in contexts depending on your area of pursuit. In this race, you must be willing to journey where others won't if you must get results they can't get.

Some key areas to build capacity this year are: spiritual, family, career, finance, morals, etc. Spiritually, you must be prepared to take a journey in separation, fasting and consecration to generate momentum for your flight. Be a spirit-controlled believer. Family is the bedrock of any society. Develop firm family values that will stand you out and help you weather the storms of life; set career goals you must pursue and attain this year.

Go for further training, get certifications, sharpen your skills, refuse to remain untrained or a trainee. Those who boss you in your field do not have two heads, they only saw a future and worked/walked towards it; financially, be disciplined this year. Learn financial literacy, save and invest, no matter how little. Master money instead of slaving for it.

Topic: OPERATE IN GOD'S LIGHT!

Memory Verse: ‭‭ "Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light" - Genesis 1:3 NKJV

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ Psalms 119:105 NKJV

105. Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

INSPIRATION: Yesterday, we advocated on the need to spread our reach⁹. Today, we shall take it a step further to establish reasons why yielding to the control of the Holy Spirit is crucial to our lives. At creation, the first thing the Holy Spirit did was to create light. There can be no direction or advancement where light is absent.

This year, you must constantly pray that the eyes of your understanding are enlightened (Eph. 1:18), that you do not experience blurred or blurry vision, that you receive clarity and direction in the cause of your pursuit, and that you receive revelational insight and inspiration to do things that have eternal value and are purpose-driven.

Why is this important? The Psalmist guides us thus, "Truth’s shining light guides me in my choices and decisions; the revelation of your Word makes my pathway clear" (Psalms 119:105 TPT). When light comes, it guides your choices and decisions. It doesn't leave you confused or second-guessing your next line of actions or what options best suit your purposes.

Light reveals hidden treasures, it exposes hidden things and makes bare hidden secrets. It was through light that Joseph could tell and interprete Pharaoh's dreams; it was by the revelational insight of light that Daniel could interprete the handwriting on the King's Wall. When God's light floods your path, you do not stumble; when you operate in light, you become a floodgate of spiritual connectivity with the Holy Spirit that leaves nothing to chance.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Develop genuine intimacy with the Holy Spirit. Expose yourself to the light of God's Word and Spirit. Be filled with light. Hunger for a discerning Spirit, a seeing eye, a hearing ear and a mind flooded with light.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to walk in the light of your word, flood my life with your light and revelation. Fill me daily with the right knowledge, revelational insight and spirit-inspired light to address the issues of my life according to Your will, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/64085955Fri, 31 Jan 2025 15:53:34 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Saturday, February 1, 2025 Topic: OPERATE IN GOD'S LIGHT!

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭2 Kings 6:1‭-‬2 NKJV

1. And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we dwell with you is too small for us.
2. Please, let us go to the Jordan, and let every man take a beam from there, and let us make there a place where we may dwell.” So he answered, “Go.”

INSPIRATION: How does it feel to force yourself into clothes you've outgrown long time ago? Uncomfortable, right? What's your experience like when you force your feet into shoes that are smaller than your actual size? Real pain, I guess. That's how it feels like when you keep operating in circles and going back to habits you've outgrown. Personal growth and development is an intentional decision no one can make for you.

The choice to suffer pain and discomfort doing things and living a life that is beneath you is never to your advantage. Hence, you must choose growth and advancement. The sons of the prophet recognised that they had outgrown their dwelling place and needed to build something bigger. To recognise your inadequacies is the first step to your pursuit of change in status. Looking inwardly, what areas of your life do you think you've outgrown, and what measures are you taking to build capacity to remedy the situation?

Capacity is your staying power; depth is your stability in whatever field of operation your find yourself. Those who fish in shallow waters do not experience the vast possibilities of a big catch that deep waters avail. Whether in business, relationship or spiritual matters, the command from Isaiah is, "Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; do not spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes" (Isa. 54: 2).

Topic: PRIMED FOR FRUITFULNESS (Part 2)!

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭But the vessel that he was making from clay was spoiled by the potter’s hand; so he made it over, reworking it and making it into another pot that seemed good to him." - Jeremiah 18:4 AMP

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭John 15:1‭-‬2 ERV

1. Jesus said, “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
2. He cuts off every branch of mine that does not produce fruit. He also trims every branch that produces fruit to prepare it to produce even more.

INSPIRATION: In God's agenda for us to turn out great, separation is crucial to any meaningful walk anyone would have with God. Abraham was called to leave his father's house to a new country; Joseph was separated from his father's house; Moses had to turn aside to see the burning bush; David was constantly separated in the wilderness, etc. All of these were a kind of pruning mechanism, and none of these experiences was an easy one.

Paul would counsel, "Come out from amongst them and be separate" (2 Cor 6:17). Everyone who desires to be a vessel used by God must heed the call to separate themselves unto God or unto a cause they believe. Your consecration must not be outward hypocritical show but one that's birthed from deep within your spirit.

This year, God wants to trim you away from mindsets that do not align with His purposes, trim you away from belief systems and lifestyles that limit your possibilities; trim doubt, double-standard and sinful tendencies out of your life; trim unseriousness about life and profanity of deeply spiritual things out of your life. He'll take you through a journey of separation and intimacy with him like you've never experienced.

He will cut down on your excesses and bring you into maturity and sonship, so that everything that got "spoiled" in your life like the spoilt pot in the potter’s hands can be "made over, reworking it and making it into another pot that seemed good to him" - (Jere. 18:4 AMP). This kind of separation may break you temporarily but would fix you permanently and prepare you to produce even more fruits (John 15:2). May you yield completely when He initiates this move.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Take the issue of divinely orchestrated separation seriously this period. Stay spiritually sensitive and do not resist as the Holy Spirit takes you on a journey of separation to trim off your unproductive excesses.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please separate me from every unfruitful tendency and trim me into your own worthy vessel.

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭1 Corinthians 12:31 NKJV

31. But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.

INSPIRATION: Someone once said, "It is madness to keep doing the same thing but expecting a different result." A lot of us are stuck in our old ways of reasoning, of doing things and solving problems but complain when nothing seem not to be working around us. Isaiah tells us to forget the old approach. Its validity and value chain has expired. That revelation has expired, that idea, inspiration, income-generating insight, etc can not longer fit into today's reality.

You've got to approach today's problems with a different, higher and better approach. Paul calls it a 'more excellent way' (1 Cor. 12:31). This more excellent way is rendered in the Passion Translation as "A superior way to live that is beyond comparison!" What this implies is that there's always a better, no, more superior approach to anything we do. A mediocre could be satisfied and comfortable with their current level of experiences and results, but not you! An excellent mind would strive for more.

Paul says, "Brothers and sisters, I know that I still have a long way to go. But there is one thing I do: I forget what is in the past and try as hard as I can to reach the goal before me" (Phi 3:13 ERV). There're goals before us this year that holding on to the trophies of yesterday can deprive us from attaining. There're skills, learning, depths, insights and revelations we must acquire this year.

INSPIRATION: Courage gives you an unwavering audacity that resonates deep within you, knowing you can do all things through Christ's strength (Phi. 4: 13).

That is, courage doesn't give up easily.

In a world bereft of resilience, it is courage you need to fight through to your victory. But for courage, what would make an 80yrs old Caleb demand to be given the mountain (Josh. 14: 12), or to say, "‭‭Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it" (Num. ‭13:30‬)?

This year holds very beautiful promises but it didn't promise to be easy or rosy. It would take great courage to be stable as you take a fighting chance at life. Courage makes you go for what's yours without looking back. Courage sees what others can't, and cashes in on all such very rare opportunities. It takes courage to get the lion's share in every encounter.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

‭Courage is a product of power and sound mind. Where courage is lacking, check the level of your power and the soundness of your mind.

Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD" - Psalm‬ ‭31:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1:9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

9. ‭‭‭‭Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

INSPIRATION: Courage is not the absence of fear, but the will to take the right action in spite of your fears. I know many of us started the year with fear due to unfulfilled expectations of last year. As such, the will to try same or other ventures this year has been lost. Loses have a way of creating doubts that increase our fears. Yet, God says to tell you, "Be of good courage."

Good courage drains fear of its energy and surges you with vitality. One of the best assurances and courage boosters we have is that God is with us wherever we go. Being conscious of this can make you take on your mountains until they become plain; it helps you face your battles squarely. Courage sees no threat or obstacles; it runs towards challenges and literally eats them for breakfast. Courage scouts for problems to conquer.

God tells Joshua three times in chapter one to be courageous for the task ahead. Same word applies to you ahead of 2025. Dare your fears. Be resolute, unwavering and determined. Make the size of your problem a determinant factor why you must not miss your target. Whilst the army of Israel saw a giant in Goliath they couldn't dare, David, through courage, saw a huge target he shouldn't miss. Courage changes our perception towards victory!

Bible Text:  Exodus‬ ‭31:2‭-‬3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

2. See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
3. And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,

INSPIRATION: Exodus 31 opens us to God introducing Bezaleel to Moses and telling him all that Bezaleel was created and endiwed to do (Exo. 31: 1- 6). A few things we can learn from Bezaleel: God never calls us to create something for His glory without giving us the skills and insights; every calling of God has a significant purpose for displaying His glory and sovereign will.

It's important to stress that we don't have to understand God's reasons for how He creates, we only need to align. Aligning to God's plan is required if we must fulfil our assignments. You've been called to carry out specific tasks to a logical end. Yet, it's not enough to recite, "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it," (Zech ‭4:9‬), and inserting your name in place of his.

Responsible actions must back our skills, calling and anointing. The anointing will not do your job; skills not put to use will frustrate you. Bezaleel went to work according to the patterns given to him. That's how he was able to finish well. Explore opportunities to perfect your gifts until excellence comes out of you without much effort. Being talented without due practice will leave a talented wreckage.

Topic: GROW WITH INTENTIONALITY (Part 2)!

Bible Text: 2 Peter 3:18; Luke 2:40‭, ‬52

2 Peter 3:18 NKJV
18. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

Luke 2:40‭, ‬52 NKJV
40. And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
52. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

INSPIRATION: When you grow with intentionality, you deepen your roots and broaden your scope. You become better equipped to weather the storms of life and produce enduring fruits in spite of your physical outcomes. Personal growth is to your advantage and advancement; it is the tool that positions you to shine gloriously. Growth develops your mind, prunes your emotions and transforms your spirit.

Growth plays a dual function in our lives: it expands our possibilities, but shrinks spaces, places and lifestyles we've outgrown. This explains why you feel uneasy about certain things or places you used to love and enjoy. Growth imposes a huge demand of self-discipline on you. Until you pass its tests, you can't advance or access the glories on the other side.

Luke records this about Jesus, "And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom..." (Luke 2: 40). Until we grow, we cannot become strong. Strength is required to deal with the challenges of life. When you fail to grow, you'll fail and fall in the day of adversity (Prov. 24: 10). Luke says further, "...filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him." When you refuse to grow, there're aspects of your life that will not be "filled;" they'll remain void.

This explains why most believers suffer unimaginable affliction because they left a vacuum to be filled. An offshoot of growth is the wisdom that comes with it; wisdom to make sound judgment, avoid pitfalls, and see beyond the surface. But when these vacuums are filled up with the right knowledge, grace is released upon us. This grace is the glory that makes us shine.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Sit down, analyse and list out areas in your life where you need to grow urgently. Take the necessary steps towards your growth; be intentional about it. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you stay focused and disciplined as you pursue growth.

PRAYER: Oh Lord, help me to take practical steps towards my growth.

52. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

INSPIRATION: In the last few days, we've been talking about manifesting glory. But you can only manifest glory to the degree you're willing to grow. The more you grow, the greater and brighter the amount of glory you radiate. "But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day" (Prov. 4:18). Personal growth is fueled by an inborn passion for transformation.

Growth is evident in how balanced your nourishment is. If you fail to eat balanced diet, you may suffer some deficiency in essential nutrients. In similar manner, you cannot neglect the feeding of every aspect of your life: spiritual, emotional, financial, family, social, career, mental, etc. To outsource the responsibility for your growth is to trade off your opportunity to shine.

Peter counsels us to grow in grace but also in knowledge. We must constantly strive to bridge our knowledge gap, to increase our chances of maximising opportunities as they come. Stop feeding yourself with junk food and things that pollute your spirit and corrupt your mind. Guard your eyes and mind from straying into fields where your eyes are not supposed to wander into.

Jesus grew and became strong in spirit and filled with wisdom. When you see scriptures like this, you must determine to interrogate what he did to grow, and why his life and ministry stood out while commanding results and impact. Your discovery should be your personal growth tool if you intend to reign in glory this year.

Romans 8:19 KJV
19. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

INSPIRATION: Diligence and dedication are tools a workman deploys to promote their skills so they can shine gloriously. "Observe people who are good at their work— skilled workers are always in demand and admired; they don’t take a backseat to anyone" (Prov. 22:29 MSG). It is a crime when believers think they only need to be diligent in prayers and fervent in spirit but weak in character and how skillfully they put their gifts to work.

Which employer wants to employ an incompetent staff who wouldn't contribute to the business advancement of their company? This year, you must work on your skills so your skills can work for you. Your skills are tools to make you shine, become more visible, and promote you because they'll place demands on you.

See how the Passion Translation renders Proverbs 22:29, "If you are uniquely gifted in your work, you will rise and be promoted. You won’t be held back— you’ll stand before kings!" To be uniquely gifted requires a lot of disciplined work on your part. That's where patronage, promotions, and recommendations come from. Work on your skills and gifts so you can come highly recommended.

David, with all his anointing, was recommended to King Saul as a very skillful player of harp. It was his skills that got him the recommendation, and not the anointing upon his life. Stop using your spirituality to excuse and cover up your laziness. Favour doesn't come to lazy people who refuse to sharpen their skills and put them to use. Strive to improve yourself. Take those giant steps, one step at a time towards the mark of your goals. Be skillfully visible.

Romans 8:19 KJV
19. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

INSPIRATION: The moon and stars have no light of their own but radiate their brightest glory when they reflect the brightness of the sun. In like manner, believers are expected to reflect the life, light and glory of Christ in our daily living. To manifest is to showcase, to unveil or reveal something that was hidden from others so they can now see. You can only manifest what has been deposited in you as well as what has been revealed from within you. The depositor and revealer is the Holy Spirit.

To get the full benefits or glory of what to manifest, you must remain in close proximity and fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Apostle Paul remarks, "But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God" (1 Cor 2:9‭-‬10).

The world awaits the manifestations of the things God has prepared in you and revealed to you. Your responsibility is to turn on the switch so God's glory can beam on you. Just like pregnancy cannot be hidden for too long, your days in obscurity are over; you're coming out into the limelight of glory. The hand of God will pull you up; the voice of God will announce and introduce you. Already, the Holy Spirit has long incubated and hatched the products you're to manifest. It is too late for you to fail on this mission.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Determine to manifest results that men would wonder at (Zech. 3:8). The glory is already in you. Only turn on the lights and shine by submitting yourself to the Holy Spirit to work out the counsel of His will in you.

PRAYER: Oh Lord, help me to manifest Your glory at all times and in all places.

Bible Text:  Isaiah 8:18; Romans 8:19 KJV

Isaiah 8:18 KJV
18. Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.

Romans 8:19 KJV
19. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

INSPIRATION: The moon and stars have no light of their own but radiate their brightest glory when they reflect the brightness of the sun. In like manner, believers are expected to reflect the life, light and glory of Christ in our daily living. To manifest is to showcase, to unveil or reveal something that was hidden from others so they can now see. You can only manifest what has been deposited in you as well as what has been revealed from within you. The depositor and revealer is the Holy Spirit.

To get the full benefits or glory of what to manifest, you must remain in close proximity and fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Apostle Paul remarks, "But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God" (1 Cor 2:9‭-‬10).

INSPIRATION: It is a God-given right for every believer to manifest miracles. Miracles should be a commonplace, every day occurrence in our lives. What are miracles? They are supernaturally planned occurrences that defy logic or explanation but leave men to wonder at us. "Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH" (Zech 3:8).

Miracles are acts of the Spirit orchestrated by the finger of God in our lives that reveal God's glory. This season, may you witness acts only possible by the finger of the Almighty God, in Jesus name. Jesus did some strange and notable acts that left people asking, "What manner of a man is this?" May this be your experience and testimony this year in Jesus name. May there be mighty manifestations of God's glory in your life that puts you gliding in the supernatural.

The kind of glory to be revealed in you will be so noticeable and distinguishing. Paul says the people of the world eagerly and earnestly await your manifestation. Darkness doesn't manifestation, only light does. You're children of light, allow the glory of that light to be revealed through good works. Mind you, an act of good works is not measured by your own standards but by the standards of the Holy Spirit as enshrined in the scriptures.

Romans 1:16 NKJV
16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, ...

INSPIRATION: There's an anointing that sets one apart and makes them shine. When Beersheba came to Solomon, it wasn't the magnificence of the place, the elegance of his crown or the rich delicacies that caught her attention, it was the anointing that God released upon him in the form of wisdom that made his life glorious. So when we speak of power for glory, we're not talking about power to intimidate but to reign; power to make you excellent and exceptional.

Glory speaks of splendour and class. What makes for a life of glory in this kingdom is the measure of God's power you expose yourself to. What does the power do? It transforms you into an outstanding personality. Samson remarked, "...If I am shaven, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man" (Judges 16:17). The power of God in our lives removes us from the class of ordinary men. The power strengthens you to operate and command a dimension of uncommon results.

Also, the power attracts favour towards you and compels people to help you. In this sense, you become genuinely and generally liked by people for no reason, so much so that they'll not rest until they serve your interest. What this implies, is that, you'll become so decorated with honour that everyone competes to honour you and make things easy for you. There's a divine powerplay orchestrating events to guarantee you're the preferred amongst choices. Everything you do turns to gold, and leaves a trail of excellence.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Seek for the power and influence of the Holy Spirit that sets one apart for exploits. Release yourself and ask the Holy Spirit to breathe and brood upon you with fresh power.

INSPIRATION: It goes without saying that everyone loves to manifest glory but only few know how to obtain and generate the glory they want to manifest. If you have a well-built mansion with all manner of electrical gadgets but it is not connected to a power source, its glory would not be known or seen, especially, in darkness. You would have to connect them to power and turn on the switches for their glory and magnificent splendour to be seen.

In like manner, unless the source of power is switched on in your life, there's no glory to manifest. Scriptures was clear, "And you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and your shall be...(a carrier of glory and anything else that you want to become)." The bottom and borderline is that you receive power! The activation catalyst to our glory is the reception of power.

Don't approach this year without power otherwise, your peers would leave you behind and defeated. This power removes shame (Romans 1:16) and charges your life with transformational glory which you wear like a crown. There's the undeniable role of the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives that translates into glory. Any glory outside the one generated by the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives is counterfeit.

Now, someone may want to ask if they get serious with life and tick all recommended boxes for success, what becomes of them? You may attain success at a level, but it may be devoid of the power that reveals the glory in your success. Hence, we've very many successful but obscured professionals everywhere. Success is not the switch that turns and beams the light on your glory, it is the power of God that does!

Topic: JESUS, THE SOURCE OF ALL GLORY!

Bible Text: John 15:5; John 1:3 NKJV

John 15:5 NKJV
5. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

John 1:3 NKJV
3. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

INSPIRATION: Never in the history of mankind has it become so imperative to emphasise the source, power and the inspiration behind our numerously grand accomplishments. Whilst some get too boastful about their achievements, many fail to realise they couldn't have achieved anything without God. Psalm 44:3 says, "For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them; but it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, because You favored them."

John reminds us that all things were made through Christ and nothing existed outside him (John 15:5), implying that Jesus is our only source. We can never waive this knowledge aside as it is only a fool that denies his source. Acknowledging this fact shouldn't breed idleness or laziness in us. Rather, while we work, we must recognise that labour alone without God wearies men (Eccl. 10: 15). The Psalmist says, "Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain" (Psalm 127:1).

Why is this crucial as we discuss our source of glory? Jesus says, "For without Me you can do nothing." He wasn't attributing our accomplishments to our smartness, our connections or power but to Himself. Without Him, we're nothing, just like we can't do anything without Him. It is God that works in us to will and do of His good pleasure (Phi. 2:13). This thought should humble you to attribute praises to God, who works in you to make you shine.

As we approach this new year, do not lose unnecessary steam running on your own strength. You may run out of gas sooner than you should have. But like the eagle releases its wings to the direction of the wind and glides to a towering height, release yourself to God to work through you so that his glory can be revealed in and through you. The more of God's glory our lives reflect, the more glorious our destinies become and the more glory we attract to ourselves.

Bible Text: 1 Corinthians 15:41 KJV

41. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

But it hardly ever points its users to their unique differences, which in truth, is nothing to be ashamed of but to celebrate. The unique difference in our personality explains why no one should expect two individuals to operate same manner of giftings with equal level of output or shine equally. Yet is doesn't preclude us from shining.

Whenever we make excuses, we validate the wise saying, "Excuses are tools of the incompetent, monument of nothingness; they that use it are not wise." If the sun is never threatened by the glory of the moon or stars and vice versa, you shouldn't be either when others outshine you in certain areas. Rather, look out for your unique area of rounded giftedness and competence, and work your craft until you become a household name in that field.

Carry yourself with dignity while striving for excellence in other areas. Make the things you do less than others become the catalyst that drives you into deeper study and productivity both in the area of your strength and in places where you're not so grounded, but never give room to strife, bitterness, envy or unhealthy competition. Rather, expose yourself to more light so that the glory of your crown can shine visibly to the profit of all (1 Tim. 4: 15).

41. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

INSPIRATION: When a council of Kings gather, we see a body of many crowns, each with a unique personality, attributes, powers and influence, etc. Whilst some are rated first-class traditional rulers, others belong to other tiers in the cadre. Yet, it doesn't in any manner detract from their royalty in their own rights as kings over their kingdoms and domains. This is so profound as it speaks to the peculiar challenge of personal insecurity, low self-esteem and inadequacy that some people have.

Whilst we're encouraged to strive to be better versions of ourselves, comparing yourself to others and developing feelings of inadequacy and poor self-esteem is not a wise choice (2 Cor. 10:12). The sun, moon and stars have different glories they radiate. So are we. Our manifestations are a function of our depth in God and the measure of grace released upon us (Eph. 4:7), according to our several abilities (Matt. 25:15). Interestingly, your powers are not in your uniformity to others but in your difference from them.

What the above implies, is that your unique selling point is where your glory is. Your manifestation is given for the profit of others (1 Cor. 12:7). What is that thing you do differently so well from other people? What's that special skill you have that sets you apart from others and makes you treasured and wanted? How do you deploy your talents and apply your crafts in your services to God and humanity? What do people miss the most about you? That's where your glory lies.

Topic: WHAT'S NEW OR HAPPY ABOUT THE NEW YEAR?

Bible Text: Psalms 77:13‭-‬15 MSG

O God! Your way is holy! No god is great like God! You’re the God who makes things happen; you showed everyone what you can do— You pulled your people out of the worst kind of trouble, rescued the children of Jacob and Joseph.

INSPIRATION: "Happy New Year" was the refrain on every lip seven days ago. Even those with real pain and unhappy situations chanted away, but soon retired into their closets to mourn their misfortune. Yes, misfortune, because nothing close to being happy or new has been their experiences lately, when compared to their peers and associates who all have testimonies, goodnews and celebrations happening to them.

You may have asked yourself the "Why me?" question many times to no avail; you may have thought God is against you or you're under a spell. You may even have confessed unknown sins that doesn't exit, but nothing seem to have changed. Whilst you chanted the happy new year refrain with others, a voices kept reminding you of your pain and failed efforts, pointing you to your many mishaps and asking you if you really do have a new or happy year.

And you seem to have agreed with that strange suggestive voice that nothing is happening to make the year new or happy for you. All that is about to change right now because God is about to showcase you to your world: "O God! Your way is holy! No god is great like God! You’re the God who makes things happen; you showed everyone what you can do— You pulled your people out of the worst kind of trouble, rescued the children of Jacob and Joseph" (Psalms 77:13‭-‬15 MSG).

God is about to make things happen; to show everyone what He can do; to pull you out of the worst kind of trouble. Hallelujah! Yes! You heard that right. God WAN USE YOU DO YANGA. The shakara go shock you and everyone wey go hear your story. So, congratulations already! Your happy new year is in order!!

Topic: DISCERN YOUR SEASON (Part 2)!

Bible Text: John 2:4 AMP

Jesus said to her, “[Dear] woman, what is that to you and to Me? My time [to act and to be revealed] has not yet come.”

INSPIRATION: One significant thing to note about seasons is that a new season may or may not happen everyday, and you cannot always determine when you enter a season. This is all the more reason to be extremely sensitive to the seasons of your life. Another very significant thing worthy of mention about seasons is that you can perpetuate or prolong a season by the things you do or fail to do. The importance of this is that it can make you suffer the consequences of your actions or enjoy the proceeds of what you do with a seasons.

A great season can be at your doorsteps and you could be so insensitive to it; a bad season could be on its way out but your uncooperative and unbelievable actions could make it linger a while longer. The author of Ecclesiastes tells us, "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven" (Eccl. 3:1). Don't get stuck in a season whose time and significance has expired; don't delay actions in a season where action is needed, otherwise, you'd never know what to do, nor will anyone or anything be at your commandment (1 Chro. 12:32).

According to Jesus's reply to his mother, there's a set time for the miraculous, a time when the water is stirred. Insensitivity to such divine timing can cause affliction to last much longer or make you miss a major divine intervention. Insensitivity can make you also become too familiar with Jesus that you do not know what to do with his presence like the impotent man by the pool (John 5:6-7). This is not the season to just make merry with family and friends only but one to download God's agenda for your next phase of operations. Don't let your new season take you unawares.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Develop spiritual sensitivity; discern timing. Avoid the consequences of getting ahead or behind God's schedule. Allow the Holy Spirit to influence your choices and actions at all times.

PRAYER: Oh Lord, teach me how to yield to your will and perfect timing in all that concerns me.

Bible Text: John 2:4 AMP

Jesus said to her, “[Dear] woman, what is that to you and to Me? My time [to act and to be revealed] has not yet come.”

INSPIRATION: In the world, we're so used to the natural or climatic seasons, that most people get so carried away by them at the detriment of their spiritual insight, sensitivity and discernment. It would be a very big mistake to allow yourself to be controlled by the physical forces of nature at the expense of your spirit. Thus, Jesus addressed those who only understood natural occurrences but knew nothing about the spiritual and called them hypocrites.

Why did Jesus call them hypocrites? Because they're not as sensitive and passionate about their spiritual seasons as they are their natural, thereby, living a double-standed life. He answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’; And in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times (Matthew 16:2‭-‬3).

When you lack discernment, you struggle for relevance and prominence when you should be building capacity backstage while waiting for the right time. When you lack discernment, you'll not understand the times. Rather, you'll be forced to get ahead of God and get things done in violation of God's timing. Ask Saul who did; he paid heavily for it leading to a loss of his throne (1 Sam. 13: 9-14; 15:23).

Jesus, knowing the cost of not discerning the times, told his mother, "My time has not yet come." Oh! What a profound statement to come from our Lord and perfect example!! No need for showmanship rather we're challenged to discern when to act and when not to. Whenever the temptation to act in certain ways come on us, we must discern the timing and determine who gets the glory from our actions.

Topic: AUDACITY OF UNTAMED DESIRE (Part 2)!

Bible Text: John 4:17-18 NKJV

The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”

INSPIRATION: Sometimes, audacity is not always an open show of insensitive or tactless impetus, but the ability to wisely manoeuvre difficult choices to bring about a big win. There're some battles you can't win by physical strength but by the smart deployment of emotional intelligence, laced in an overdose of strategic wisdom. Audacity could be studying your obstacles to know the strengths, weaknesses and loopholes, and weaponising strategies that give you the advantage.

At other times, audacity comes in the form of a positive mindset about your outcome, taking negative feedback in good fate and working hard to overcome future mistakes. Michael Jordan has this to say, "I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's why I succeed." Positivity is not an arrogant dismissal of your mistakes but having the audacity to pick the lessons and try again.

Zig Ziglar says, "Sometimes you fall down because there is something down there that you are supposed to find." Audacity is demonstrated in your resilience to stay in your fallen state but to keep grinding. This woman had to go through six men to get to the seventh one, Jesus! Audacity is not letting yesterday's failure be your limiting factor today; it is refusal to make excuses why you cannot reach for the stars.

Audacity is having your goals or desire in your face that it refuses to be distracted by anything. If it means to endure humility or despise shame, your goal drives your resolve (Heb. 12: 2). Your desire should be able to fuel your passion with a life of its own; you should be so enamoured by your desire that you can boldly tell your 'Peter,' "Get behind me Satan" (Matt. 16: 23; Mark 8: 33). What are you audacious about that you could give anything to turn the tide in your favour?

The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”

INSPIRATION: There's an audacity that turns you into a daring tigress or lion, it's a desire that won't quit until it's satisfied. It keeps your appetite alive, discerning and alert, to pounce on opportunities. It's akin to a lion's heart that takes a lion's share. The Samaria woman in our text had such a daring desire that won't be tamed. She was consistent with her game, knowing her desires couldn't be satisfied just by an attempt alone.

Topic: AUDACITY OF UNTAMED DESIRE!

Bible Text: John 4:17-18 NKJV

The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”

INSPIRATION: There's an audacity that turns you into a daring tigress or lion, it's a desire that won't quit until it's satisfied. It keeps your appetite alive, discerning and alert, to pounce on opportunities. It's akin to a lion's heart that takes a lion's share. The Samaria woman in our text had such a daring desire that won't be tamed. She was consistent with her game, knowing her desires couldn't be satisfied just by an attempt alone. Paul says, "For a great and effective door has opened to me..." (1 Cor. 16: 9). How daring are you for the many doors of opportunities this year is bringing your way?

How far and how many times more are you willing to try again this year? Her daring ability receives commendation from Jesus (John 4: 17). Isaac kept digging the wells, not bothering how many times his efforts were stopped (Gen. 26: 15 - 22).

Topic: EXPRESSIONS OF GLORY (Part 2)!

Bible Text: Matthew 13:55-56 NKJV

55. Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?
56. And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?”

INSPIRATION: You can express God's glory through deliberately calculated positive actions rather than through  platitudes of inaction. The gifts, skills, and talents you fail to give expressions to won't suddenly develop themselves to put you on a central global stage. Except there's a deliberate effort to express your creative ingenuity, the 'milk' will not come out and the 'dream' (baby) will not be nurtured. He who grinds hard on the mill gathers a bountiful harvest that the indolent only wish for. Have much more than wishes this year!

Some practical ways to help you give proof of expression to your gifts include but not limited to the following: do not buy liability in place of investing in assets; avoid the pain of limiting yourself to short-term plan when you could think on a long-term basis; invest time to learn something of value rather than using the same amount of time to scroll through social media; trends are unending and dynamic, learn lasting skills instead of rolling with trends; take positive and pragmatic actions rather than make excuses.

Others are being intentional with building values that could generate wealth instead wasting time trying to look rich; prioritise where or what you spend money, time and resources on; be versatile and create room for growth as you try new things; do not be afraid to take risks, be daring or be ready to miss big opportunities; develop a plan of disciplined saving culture. Money, time and resources will always be limited, but a disciplined saving culture saves the raining day; focus on your developmental strides instead of wallowing in rivalry comparison.

Jesus was abreast with the happenings in his environment but he was way ahead of them in reasoning and action. His words were always indicting to the philosophers of his time. He saw tomorrow and planned for it. Those who see and think ahead of their peers beat the systems to emerge champions. Whenever the champions in Jesus surfaced, it left his observers dazed with u resolved puzzle. You've no idea how far you could go with disciplining yourself to follow a path your peers and everyone else is unwilling to travel to be different!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Dare to give wings to your creative instinct in all its infinite varieties. The world awaits your manifestation of glory (Romans 8: 19)!

PRAYER: Oh Lord, I receive grace for new expressions and manifestation to the gifts and deposits of talents and godly wisdom I've been blessed with. New ideas flow out of me that solves humanity's problems. I'm not limited in scope or boxed in. My gifts find expressions relevant to the needs of society and I impact grace everywhere, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/63548728Thu, 02 Jan 2025 20:10:09 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Friday, January 3, 2025 Topic: EXPRESSIONS OF GLORY (Part 2)!

Topic: ALL THINGS ARE NEW!

Bible Text: 2 Corinthians 5:17 TPT; Genesis 1:1 NKJV

2 Corinthians 5:17 TPT
17. ...All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new.  

Genesis 1:1 NKJV
1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

INSPIRATION: As we welcome the gift of a new year, the tendency to approach it with an attitude of mixed feelings, anxiety, ingratitude, levity and gloom, is very high for people who think they didn't end the previous year on a high note. Regardless of how yours was or how you perceived it to be, God is starting everyone on a fresh note. All things are new: new hopes are rising, new dreams, new goals, new plans, new ways of thinking and acting so as to attain new heights.

All that is related to the old order is gone, vanished into oblivion. God remembers them no more, so you shouldn't either. God is set to do new things in your life (Isa. 43: 18 - 19). New pathways are springing up, new experiences and new outcomes. Very new results that would make the former look like a child's play. Yes, it's our year of God's glory. The manifestations would overwhelm you. Miracles, supernaturally inspired and orchestrated would happen to you and for you.

Albeit, when we talk about miracles, it is not for you to sit down, fold your arms and do nothing. God gives us a foresight at the beginning: He created (Gen. 1: 1)! Glory! Hallelujah!! Whilst all things are new, the responsibility is on you to create outcomes that support your envisaged new experiences. Your newness shouldn't be a palace of emptiness. Create ways to forge ahead and turn the deficits of last year around; create ways to improve yourself and obtain better results; activate your creative instinct and do not allow your newness to be without form or darkness to thrive (Gen. 1: 2).

Manifesting God's glory is not necessarily in the demonstration of power or anointing but in the production of results that align and resonate with His purposes. It is your ability to leverage opportunities to create inspired outcomes that point to His sovereignty. It is the deployment of God's resources to create outcomes that point others to you having the nature of God. Oh! This year, you'll manifest God's glory in all spheres of your life, you'll shift gears and deliver results even in new fields because of the anointing for newness!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Newness gives a feeling of relaxation but what's upon you doesn't call for relaxation. Get to work already!

PRAYER: Oh Lord, I receive grace for new experiences. I lay behind me the results of yesterday and press towards a higher mark and calling. I'm creatively endowed to make the most of every situation to get positive results. Nothing limits me; my mind flourishes in creatively new ways and I walk in the path that leads to new and more glorious outcomes, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/63529885Tue, 31 Dec 2024 21:08:08 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Wednesday, January 1, 2025 Topic: ALL THINGS ARE NEW!

Bible Text: Philippians 2:5; 3 John 1:11

Philippians 2:5 NKJV
5. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

3 John 1:11 NKJV
11. Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.

INSPIRATION: Prophet Samuel, with all his measure of accuracy in discernment and judgment, was taught a very valuable lesson we must all take into the new year: "For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart" (1 Sam. 16: 7). Many times, we're carried away by external features that hold very temporary potentials; external features such beauty, physical attractiveness, affluence, poise, glamour, etc.

Whilst physical attractiveness is good, life is deeper than showbiz. Failure to heed, soon reveals that to be fooled at the surface is to be slain at the depth. Such cuts are very hard to heal from. The year ahead would reveal glamour like never seen, but a discerning heart would choose right. You'd discern opportunities from pits in disguise; you'd sense a dream fertiliser from a dream-killer; you'd discern a heart that is maleable from a stony, unrepentant and destructive being.

You'd not be like Lot, who chose from his lustful appetite just to undermine Abram's influence, not knowing there was no future in his choice (Gen. 13: 10-17). May you receive grace to recognise potentials in its raw essence from problems in its refined form; may you see beyond the deceitful traits of people who camouflage their real intent; may you not marry trouble, employ a disaster or put a dubious person to lead your enterprise. Discern, and the closer you get to your goal, the more critical it is to separate from those who don't belong to your future (Gen. 22: 5; Matt. 17: 1).

May you receive the wisdom for solid and profitable collaborations, know those to invest in. May you receive the wisdom to build, the understanding to establish, and the knowledge to fill your your enterprise with the kind of harvests you desire (Prov. 24: 3-4). May you not be caught in the Web of confusion that eyeservice sponsors; see beyond their facades and may the intent and thoughts in the hearts of people be revealed to you to enable you deal wisely. Above all, may you not lose sight of God's purposes that align with your goals .

*TODAY'S TAKE HOME:*

Be strategic with the people coming your way this new year; some are gold covered with mud.

PRAYER: Oh Lord, may I not be blinded to gifts of men who may no look the part. Give me the uncanny wisdom, discipline and patience not to throw away goldmines while holding on to glistering chaff. Grant me sharpened discernment, and above all, lead me by the Holy Spirit that reveals secrets hidden from us physically, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/63519053Mon, 30 Dec 2024 18:53:35 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Tuesday, December 31, 2024 Topic: FOLLOW CHRIST'S EXAMPLES (Part 2)!

Topic: FOLLOW CHRIST'S EXAMPLES!

Bible Text: Philippians 2:5; 3 John 1:11

Philippians 2:5 NKJV
5. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

3 John 1:11 NKJV
11. Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.

INSPIRATION: Apostle Paul gives a bold and compelling counsel: "Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ" (1 Corin 11:1). Jesus had an uncommon leadership trait that stood Him out in the leadership and mentorship circles. A man who could effectively manage Peter's erratic temperaments, tame Thomas's doubt, fix John's emotional attachment, control the disingenuous deceit and dubiousness of Judas, and pulls Mary Magdalene from a promiscuous and demonically influenced life into new person, is worth studying.

As you approach the new year, one thing that would happen too often, is you getting to meet people with different backgrounds, temperaments and exposure. Your ability to work with them, harness their different traits to achieve a common goal would be tested. You'd be presented with the rare gifts of men, some, looking like trouble. The uncanny grace to see beyond their rough edges to moulding and tapping into their unique gifts would determine your trajectory.

Whilst it's okay to pray and expect to meet perfect people, there're no guarantees to that either. David's mighty men were those who were in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, who gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him (1 Sam. 22:2). Jacob was a runaway deceiver when he arrived at his in-law's but became the brain behind the latter's business success. Joseph was a 'slave' who overturned the fortunes of Portiphar and later that of Egypt!

Can you take a chance on someone who doesn't or wouldn't look the part? Can you spot treasures in earthen vessels and reach for the stars in them? Would you be willing to change someone's experience by following the examples of Christ? Can you groom a 'Peter' who would eventually succeed you? Can you forge strategic and time-tested partnerships from people who might just be needing a little pep or push to find their rhythm? The year would come with surprises that your short-sightedness today may rob you of its rewards! Beware!!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Be strategic with the people coming your way this new year; some are gold covered with mud.

Topic: FOLLOW CHRIST'S EXAMPLES!

Bible Text: Philippians 2:5; 3 John 1:11

Philippians 2:5 NKJV
5. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

3 John 1:11 NKJV
11. Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.

INSPIRATION: Apostle Paul gives a bold and compelling counsel: "Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ" (1 Corin 11:1). Jesus had an uncommon leadership trait that stood Him out in the leadership and mentorship circles. A man who could effectively manage Peter's erratic temperaments, tame Thomas's doubt, fix John's emotional attachment, control the disingenuous deceit and dubiousness of Judas, and pulls Mary Magdalene from a promiscuous and demonically influenced life into new person, is worth studying.

As you approach the new year, one thing that would happen too often, is you getting to meet people with different backgrounds, temperaments and exposure. Your ability to work with them, harness their different traits to achieve a common goal would be tested. You'd be presented with the rare gifts of men, some, looking like trouble. The uncanny grace to see beyond their rough edges to moulding and tapping into their unique gifts would determine your trajectory.

Whilst it's okay to pray and expect to meet perfect people, there're no guarantees to that either. David's mighty men were those who were in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, who gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him (1 Sam. 22:2). Jacob was a runaway deceiver when he arrived at his in-law's but became the brain behind the latter's business success. Joseph was a 'slave' who overturned the fortunes of Portiphar and later that of Egypt!

Can you take a chance on someone who doesn't or wouldn't look the part? Can you spot treasures in earthen vessels and reach for the stars in them? Would you be willing to change someone's experience by following the examples of Christ? Can you groom a 'Peter' who would eventually succeed you? Can you forge strategic and time-tested partnerships from people who might just be needing a little pep or push to find their rhythm? The year would come with surprises that your short-sightedness today may rob you of its rewards! Beware!!

Topic: FINISHING STRONG (Part 2)!

Bible Text: John 4:34; Zechariah 4:9

John 4:34 NKJV
Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.

Zechariah 4:9 NKJV
The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; His hands shall also finish it. Then you will know That the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you.

INSPIRATION: There's something about completing a task, an assignment or a project, that gives you the courage to want to take on new ventures. Once you surmount a challenge, it kills fear in you and motivates you to be more adventurous in the pursuit of others. Completion gives momentum to your wings and energy to your will. A task completed makes you more enthusiastic and determined, giving you a deep sense of fulfilment.

It is against this backdrop that we view Jesus's statement, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work." The more He accomplished, the more work he wanted to do. Completion reduces the bigness of our mountains in our view; makes mountains surmountable. It's why Caleb could say, "Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the Lord spoke in that day; ...It may be that the Lord will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the Lord said" (Josh. 14:12).

Victory can be self-energising and self-reassuring. If you've tasted victory before, you can dare the devil to do his worst, because whatever your hands started would be brought to completion. It is on this premise that I declare over you: you'd finish strong; you'll not be an abandoned concern; strength and grace for timely accomplishment is released on you. You shall walk tall and victorious, no matter the opposition you face. There shall be no more disappointments, nothing subverts God's plan for your life (Lam. 3:36); your vision finds visible and tangible expression, in Jesus name.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Be passionate about your career, business and divine assignment. Draw strength and grace from the Holy Spirit to complete whatever your hands begin. Execute by following a divine order: precept upon precept, line upon line.

PRAYER: Oh Lord, I draw strength and grace to pursue and finish my assignment well. Speed, ease and favour are released upon me to execute God's purposes and my plans in ways that please Him until I finish strong, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/63499448Sat, 28 Dec 2024 19:21:11 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Sunday, December 29, 2024 Topic: FINISHING STRONG (Part 2)!

INSPIRATION: Nothing creates anxiety or agitates the mind of believers like coming to the end of the year with many unfulfilled expectations. When you seem to have done all you could and then switch on the expectancy valve only to experience further delays. At such moments, the heart tends to feel sick because hope has been deferred (Prov. 13:12). It is at such crucial moments that we must turn to, and learn from Jesus.

Jesus was soaked and deeply engrossed in doing God's will with an overriding desire to finish it. And he did finish well. Finishing strong is every man's desire. Jesus sets the template for us to follow. Anyone who's completely sold out to a cause in life always finds a way to finish. The assignment fuels their resolve and renews their enthusiasm even in the face of great discouragements. Will everything be rosy always, there's no guarantee to that, but as long as you stay the cause, there's always grace to finish strong.

No wonder we're told, "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; His hands shall also finish it." By implication, whatever we start by divine leading, we're able to finish by the supply of divine guidance, wisdom, strength, and heavenly supply of resources. We'll not have incomplete and abandoned projects. When we seem overwhelmed by prevailing circumstances, grace will surge through us, anointing will flow in and strengthen will be supplied.

Topic: DISCERN YOUR GIFT (Part 3)!

Bible Text: John 4:10 NKJV

10. Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

INSPIRATION: One of the most desired needs of humans, yet the least accredited with its importance, is the gift of men. We all need people to stand with us either as a show of solidarity, as allies, as partners, or as our biggest support system. Scriptures say, "There's a friend that sticks closer than a brother" (Prov. 18: 24). May we not ever lack such people; people who form strategic bridges to our next level; people, who take up arms and bear armours for us!

Winning with people as against winning as a lone ranger makes the victory of the former smoother and easier to execute. But winning with people comes at a price, the biggest, being to discern those who are with you and are for you. Life would teach us in very hard terms that it's not always all who are with you that are for you. A quick example is Judas Iscariot. At times, there are betrayers are saboteurs masquerading as angels to undo us. Satan also disguised as an angel of light (2 Cor. 11: 14)!

There're Greek gifts with sinister motives, as there're people with ulterior and very dark intentions. Your inability to discern makes you an easy prey at the verge of your biggest victories. Discern your friends and choose your partners discretely, not just for any outwardly displayed feature, else you may miss you Ruth and settle for a Jezebel. Proverbs 31: 30 says, "Charm and grace are deceptive, and beauty is vain [because it is not lasting], but a woman who reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord, she shall be praised!

Discern people for strategic partnerships. Forge alliances with people not for their attractiveness but what they can attract to better your lot. Be purpose-driven or you may end up partnering dream killers while neglecting dream fertilisers who didn't look the part when you first met. If you get swayed by first impression, you could get slayed with no hope of redemption. The six other men lacked what the Samaritan woman needed. Meeting Jesus, she hastily categorised Him with them. But there she was with her Saviour, looking so ordinary, she could have missed Him for lack of discernment!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Unwrap Christ this season; get revelational insights to His divinity, love, power and all that comes with it. Don't be a deprived, second class Christian by your ignorance!

10. Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

INSPIRATION: Jesus shows up in his birthplace - a manger, a ship's pen! A Prince and Saviour of the world born in a debased place when he could have be born in the best hospital in the world?! But His lowly birth didn't detract from whom He is! He's the Prince of Peace and the One to save all men from their sin. Often times, we get so fixated on the mundane that we do not get to recognise the divine. In so doing, many have missed out of divinely, carefully orchestrated miracles and groundbreaking opportunities.

Someone gets told about Jesus and his cynical response was, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" How so often have we despised very good things presented to us in their rough edges? How so often have we walked out on opportunities we could have seized because they were not dressed in the very attire we expected them to be robed in? How many doors have we shut in our own faces for failure to discern they were our gateway to our answered prayers or a godly setup to help us fulfil our destiny?

Sometimes, beyond the size and worth of a gift is the thoughtfulness of the giver. To have considered you worth the prize for a gift should not be trivialised. Do you know what it cost God to offer Christ for your salvation? Have you discerned every possible ramifications as to how worthless and condemned you could have been but for the saving grace of Jesus. How then has your response been to the wholesome sacrifice paid for your ransome? Have you thought about this for a while?

Had David not rightly discerned the slave boy he met in pursuit of the enemies that plundered Ziglag, he might have mistaken him for a spy and killed him. Had that been the case, the secret that led to his recovery would have been lost forever, and thus negating God's word to purse, overtake, and recovery all. Many have disdainfully dismissed their destiny helper or ordained spouses and partners. Your inability to discern correctly is dangerous both for you and all connected to you in destiny who could have profited from your discernment!

Topic: THE PURPOSE FOR GOD'S GLORY (Part 2)!

Bible Text: John 15:8 NKJV

8. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

INSPIRATION: I suspect this might shock someone out of their preconceived notion about the manifestation of glory, where all along, they've thought it was about the demonstration of power over satanic incursion, of winning in life, and having testimonies alone. But Jesus says for the Father to be glorified, you must bear much fruits! Just imagine that the fruits you're expected to bear is qualified with "MUCH."

It strongly suggests that you cannot do as you please with this commandment since the measuring scale of how fruitful you get is determined by the One who sets the rules. Secondly, you cannot produce anyhow fruits even if it comes in large quantities. Scriptures say, "Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance" (Matt. 3:8). In helping us understand this, Paul tells us, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law" (Gal 5:22-23).

What does Matthew mean when he says to bear fruits worthy of repentance? It means to “Bear fruit in keeping with repentance.” This is true repentance, not just to turn from sin, only to turn back to sin. That misses the whole point of repentance.Turn from sin and keep turning from sin, and experience the fruit of righteousness, of freedom from sin. One way to guarantee the continuous production of enduring and acceptable fruits is to ensure you're planted in the Vine; it is to abide in Him.

Many miss the point when they think engaging in much of church activities equate to "ABIDE." It is in abiding that He supplies the materials for your fruitfulness, otherwise, you're useless. Abiding in Him helps you develop Christ-like attributes that self-righteousness cannot produce. Refusal to abide dries you up instantly until you're bundled and burned. It's dangerous to have dried up while still acting and thinking you're effectively productive. Ask Samson whom the bible describes as, "... He didn’t realize that God had abandoned him" (Judges 16:20 MSG)

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Examine your level of fruitfulness. Watch out for traces of things that could disconnect you from abiding in Christ. Do not treat signals of spiritual dryness lightly. A lot go wrong when you dry up.

PRAYER: Oh Lord, please help me to bear acceptable fruits in terms of quantity and quality.

Topic: THE PURPOSE FOR GOD'S GLORY!

Bible Text: John 15:8 NKJV

8. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

INSPIRATION: Bearing fruit is a function of how enriching the soil is where the seed is planted, and if the planted is nurtured well enough to draw nutrients from the soil. Where are the places you've been planted? Has the fruits coming out of your life proven that you've been planted in the right 'soil' and places or it has shown otherwise? Our fruits define our identity: “By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; SO YOU WILL BE MY DISCIPLES" (John 15:8 NKJV, emphasis mine).

Your identity as a disciple is determined by your fruits, Jesus said. This should challenge you and I to thoroughly examine our relationship with God under this scale. Does God think and see me as a discipline by reason of my fruit-bearing abilities or not? This is a huge puzzle that nobody can help you unravel. Unfortunately and as critical as this is, the criteria to determine fruitfulness by God's standards is not left in our hands to decide. This allow has put a lot of us on the disqualification list!

Another point from our bible text that guarantees our manifestation of glory and its purpose, is the call to a personal relationship. John 15: 4 - 7 says, "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

Abiding in Him and He in us establishes a relationship. A stranger cannot abide; they visit and go. A lot of us are visitors to God, and the frequency of our visit is not borne out of love but out of the needs we desire Him to meet. The more you abide in Christ, the more His person, nature and lifestyle rubs off on you and reflect in your daily life.

One hallmark of a long-term, cordially smooth relationship is the tendency to look alike after a while. Not only do the partners look alike, they also reason alike. If it true of husband and wife relationships, it is much more so in our relationship with Christ. You can't be (abide) in Christ and not command Christ-like glory.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Examine your level of fruitfulness. Watch out for traces of things that could disconnect you from abiding in Christ. Do not treat signals of spiritual dryness lightly. A lot go wrong when you dry up.

Topic: GOD'S GRACE AND GLORY (Part 3)!

Bible Text: Luke 1:20‭-‬22 NKJV

20. But behold, you will be mute and not able to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time.” And the people waited for Zacharias, and marveled that he lingered so long in the temple. But when he came out, he could not speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, for he beckoned to them and remained speechless.

INSPIRATION: Many of us may have heard of God's glory but we've never seen or handled it before. A song writer sang, "When the glory comes, there will be no words to say oh oh oh oh." God's glory will make you speechless and drain you of your skills and abilities to put up a show of performance. God's glory will leave you in awe of God's magnificence and splendour  that all you'd desire is to just connect in reverential worship rather than put up a religious show.

Unfortunately, due to insensitivity, immaturity of an hypocritical show of spiritual self-righteousness, many would want to put up a service that would not be acceptable to God just to impress others instead of offering reasonable, acceptable worship service to God. Herein lies the problem of today's believers.

When the cloud of God's glory filled the temple, the priest could not minister (2 Chron. 5:14). You can't be sold out to God and His ways and not know when not to interfere with the move of the Spirit. Most times, we exert ourselves so much so that we interrupt God's flow. What services do you want to render that's more important than what God is intending to do at that moment? Learn from the priest in 2 Chronicles 5:14.

Sometimes, our desire to keep up with our religious routines when God's glory is present is not an act of faith but unbelief, it is a show of lack of understanding that stir us to think it is our performance that guarantees the moves of His anointing. Real glory will leave you a different and thoroughly broken person than you were before the glory came. I wish you would long for this experience in the here and now.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Have a longing and unquenchable desire for His glory. Take the right posture before and after you encounter God's glory. Lay everything aside; conquer self and soar in the grace and power of His glory.

PRAYER: Oh Lord, please help me not to struggle with yielding myself when it's all for and about your glory. May I not be a stumbling block to the manifestation of your glory. Help to learn how to give the Holy Spirit the right of way in my life and ministry, and may I experience great blessings for my yieldedness, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/63430326Sat, 21 Dec 2024 19:56:48 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Sunday, December 22, 2024 Topic: GOD'S GRACE AND GLORY (Part 3)!

Topic: GOD'S GRACE AND GLORY (Part 2)!

Bible Text: Genesis 22:17; 2 Corinthians 13:14 NKJV

Genesis 22:17 NKJV
Blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies

2 Corinthians 13:14 NKJV
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

INSPIRATION: When the kind and level of glory you manifest is one that is not seen or is easy to explain, you sure do have a lot more work and understanding to do. There is a level of manifestation of glory that's only traceable to God's blessings. It was this understanding that inspired Moses to pray for the children of Israel, "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace" (Num. 6: 24 - 26).

There's a big glory that is released upon us when we're blessed. This glory doesn't just guarantee our prosperity but also ensures we're preserved. One can only ask, what's the value of your glory if the Lord's preservation is absent. Whilst we seek opportunities to manifest all of God's goodness in our lives, we should never lose sight of his preserving grace. Moses also prayed, "The Lord make His face shine upon you."

To understand the context of this phrase in Moses's prayer, see what the Psalmist said about God's face, "For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them; but it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, because You favored them" (Psalms 44:3). When the light of God's face shines on yours, you become exactly like the image you see (2 Cor. 3: 18).

Herein lies the secret of outstanding glory; it is one of God's sure ways to enjoy His favour. When the favour of God is upon you, things work like magic around you; your greatness is unlimited and people can't help but notice your steady progress (Gen. 26: 12-14). Grace and glory manifest from a place of deep intimacy with God, where all of divinity rubs off on us to make products of such uncommon encounters.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Seek the God-factor in your quest to manifest glory. Take God's blessings seriously and do no labour the labour of a fool. Treasure the content of Moses's prayer and pray it on yourself daily.

PRAYER: Oh Lord, please bless bless me in deed and make me to see all of your glory expressly manifest in my life, that would cause me to advance forward beautifully in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/63422522Fri, 20 Dec 2024 21:56:05 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Saturday, December 21, 2024 Topic: GOD'S GRACE AND GLORY (Part 2)!

Bible Text: Psalms 61:2 NKJV; 2 Corinthians 13:14 NKJV

Psalms 61:2 NKJV
2. From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I"

2 Corinthians 13:14 NKJV
14. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

INSPIRATION: Have you ever been faced with pressure that drained you out? Have you ever encountered situations that you almost doubted yourself, and make light of the graces of God and glory around which your life is woven? Every once in a while, we all get into such messy situations, so it's not just only you. Unfortunately, when in such moments, our lives are reduced to a pack of dullness and inactivity. Even when we try to motivate ourselves to a new line of action, we often fall short.

Overwhelmed and in despair the Psalmist cried for help. He prayed to be drawn to God's glory (rock), where he's safe and sheltered (Psalm 61: 2 TPT). In others words, God's glory is a wall of defense and a shield of protection for His people. He went before Israel in a pillar of cloud and a pillar of fire (Exo. 13). The pillar of cloud went ahead of them by day to guide their way, and the pillar of fire by night, to give them light. No wonder God did not allow anyone to do them wrong.

It is against this backdrop that Paul's prayer in 2 Corinthians 13:14 has more impactful effect. The grace of God cannot be with you and you'll be devoid of his glory; the grace of God in our lives rubs an aura of glory over us that doesn't only give us favour and preferential advantage over others, it also puts fear in the hearts of people as they become very careful with us. Grace is the vehicle through which the love of God and fellowship of the Holy Spirit is transported to us, but this only becomes evident in our glorious living.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Do not allow life to overwhelm you when you can find help in the Rock, Jesus! See life from God's perspective; see His glory even in the midst of many troubles. Then, treasure and enjoy everyday fellowship with the Holy Spirit, and you'll see glory.

Bible Text: Proverbs 23:7A NKJV; Hosea 2:7 NKJV

Proverbs 23:7A NKJV
7. For as he thinks in his heart, so is he..."

Hosea 2:7 NKJV
7. She will chase her lovers, but not overtake them; Yes, she will seek them, but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.’

INSPIRATION: Matthew 17: 15 - 18 gives a very pathetic description of the lunatic son of a man, "Oftentimes, he falls into the fire and at other times into the water." He had this terrible mood swing that made his condition pitiable and unpredictable. One could never tell where or how to find him. So was Gomer, Hosea's wife. During the day, she was a wife, at night, she was gone plying her trade as a prostitute. So bad it was that she could be gone for days, abandoning her husband and family.

The deeper Gomer indulged, the more her chains multiplied. Her chains were not only on her unfaithfulness to her vows; they were on her mind. Her thought pattern justified her double standards. Her actions were more than the pleasure for sex; hers was a warped mindset, conditioning her to take up such extremely negative lifestyle. She sought her validation in her multiple partners. The more they had her, the greater her invalidation. We must learn to quit seeking the approval of others to the point of addiction.

But that's not the crux of the matter; it was Hosea's love for her that's crucial. He'd go look for her in her customer's house, bring her home and clean her up repeatedly. The danger of not knowing true love from abuse has made many believers act like Gomer: trapped in identity crisis and living the life they've been delivered from. Yet, the messier we sink, the stronger God's compelling love reaches out to us until every lie and bondage is broken. God's love is a healing and restoring balm that breaks loose the bondage of sin and addiction.

7. She will chase her lovers, but not overtake them; Yes, she will seek them, but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.’

INSPIRATION: The continuous return of Gomer to harlotry was never tied to her husband's inability to love her the right way or his inability to perform his responsibility but on her poor judgment of her new found status. Although picked from the slum, her mind remained in the cabbage! Renewal of her mind and cultural shift hadn't occurred yet; she loved and preferred her shackles to her freedom. That's what most of us do till date. Our thoughts and its resultant outcome are linked to our backgrounds and predominant thought patterns.

You cannot see or operate as Head when all you have is tail thoughts; you cannot aspire to new levels you've not conditioned your thoughts or mind to accept as your new reality. Until the prodigal son changed his thinking, he always went back to eating pig's food; unless Gomer changes her mind, harlotry would never leave her.

The process of mind renewal starts with decluttering: tear down all self-limiting and self-defeating thoughts through conscious superimposition of superior thoughts from the Word of God, inspiration books and other developmental materials.

Hosea 2:7 NKJV
7. She will chase her lovers, but not overtake them; Yes, she will seek them, but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.’

INSPIRATION: The continuous return of Gomer to harlotry was never tied to her husband's inability to love her the right way or his inability to perform his responsibility but on her poor judgment of her new found status. Although picked from the slum, her mind remained in the cabbage! Renewal of her mind and cultural shift hadn't occurred yet; she loved and preferred her shackles to her freedom. That's what most of us do till date. Our thoughts and its resultant outcome are linked to our backgrounds and predominant thought patterns.

You cannot see or operate as Head when all you have is tail thoughts; you cannot aspire to new levels you've not conditioned your thoughts or mind to accept as your new reality. Until the prodigal son changed his thinking, he always went back to eating pig's food; unless Gomer changes her mind, harlotry would never leave her. Put her in the Palace, she'd crawl back to the hoods again and again.

7. She will chase her lovers, but not overtake them; Yes, she will seek them, but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.’

INSPIRATION: One of the most profound statements in scriptures is, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new" (2  Cor. 5:17). It establishes a new order of identity for the believer in Christ. Sadly, at the dawn of a new era, believers are often caught in the Web of identity crisis, where they mistake their new identity for whom they are not, and find it hard to accept the new reality.

It is against this backdrop that a believer is often going back to doing things one would have thought they've outgrown, leaving you to wonder what their problem is. Apostle Paul was caught up in this sort of a dilemma when he described himself thus: "For I fail to practice the good deeds I desire to do, but the evil deeds that I do not desire to do are what I am [ever] doing" (Romans 7:19). Identity crisis can make you do unimaginable things.

Gomer, Prophet Hosea's wife provides us a classic example. Married as a harlot to a Prophet was a big deal. One would have thought she would turn a new leaf but she kept going back after her numerous lovers. She'd always think herself as unworthy of her new status; she thought of herself still as a prostitute and she kept going back to her past. But the deeper she sunk, the more genuine love kept chasing after her. Her thinking made things worse for her: each time she got cleaned up, she fell back deeply that her husband would have to go looking for her from one lover to another's place.

Topic: THE POWER OF ACCESS (Part 4)!

Bible Text: John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬; Isaiah‬ ‭43:19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me

19. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

INSPIRATION:  An access could be a small, seemingly insignificant doorway but it opens you up to a vast array of different opportunities. If you despise the seemingly insignificant small opening, you'll shut the door to the glories that await you in the future. Small beginnings doesn't always imply small destinies. Some are litmus tests to prove you. God would never commit great enterprises to untested and proven people.

Can you handle greatness when it comes in its raw, unrefined and unprocessed state? Are you discerning enough to recognise the channels God is opening you up to, especially, if it comes in the form of chaos? Most often, great opportunities are wrapped up in problems. If you focus on the wrapping, you'd see only the problem; if you focus on the gift, you'd see the many opportunities entrapped in that problem that's waiting for you to take the initiative to resolve it.

Cultivate every access you have, whether in human form or in opportunities. Water and service your accesses so they can bloom and blossom into something great. If you do not appreciate the gifts of men, the graces they bear may never work to advance your cause. Virtue flows only in the direction of value. If your value rating for your access is poor, the opportunities from them that ought to benefit you might appear like a burden.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Shallow minded people think only of the immediate and so, may despise access, especially, if it doesn't appear so promising. That's how people trade off their destinies for peripheral gains.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please give me the presence of mind, a discerning spirit, and right attitude to appreciate and leverage on each divine access You bring me into.

19. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

INSPIRATION:  As we take on another instalment in this series, it is important to stress the point that an open door is bigger and more beneficial than money. Money has its limitations but an access is limitless. Many people who chose the seemingly immediate advantage of cash inflow over an access lived to regret their choices. They only asked for fish rather than how to catch fish. It's like choosing a set of harvested crops during famine over an entire farm when you could own large acres of cultivated farms.

There's a process that access avails us that guarantees a harvest in perpetuity which instant gratification cannot provide. Whilst it may be a hard choice to choose access over immediate cash benefits, life has taught many the bitter lessons of not being wise or smart enough to choose right. Access may not come with instant rewards but its process matures you to handle greatness on a broader spectrum.

If it were possible to weigh money and access on a scale, you'd realise there's no basis for comparison. It is like comparing sand to gold, where sand is money and gold is access. That was how Lot chose wrongly and almost got ruined (Gen. 13: 10 - 11). To base your decisions on the promptings of your five senses only, is a sure recipe for disaster. You'd only be shortchanging yourself. Access will give you ladders and bridges to leverage on. It connects you to multiple levels of operational opportunities and multidimensional interconnectivity that leaves you with many more options to choose from.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Place premium value on access if you want to go farther in life. Don't be blinded by your quest to make it soonest that it forces you to despise the unlimited treasures you could find in an access.

19. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

INSPIRATION: One of the greatest, yet unfortunate misconceptions about access, is equating it with instant gratification or financial gains. Access basically expands your horizon and broadens your chances to leverage on the strengths, connections and power of those who gave you access and platforms. Access opens you up to new experiences in learning to be better. You'd be unwise to put self gratification and financial gains ahead of the several other opportunities that come with access.

Sometimes, access may appear small, but they open into a vast array of different options you could never have thought possible without the connection. What you gain with access far exceeds any amount of money you may want to place in comparison. If you're patient enough to walk the process, you'll still arrive at the financial gains but, you'll do so with the bigger picture in view.

The bigger picture is the reason for access but we become too myopic or impatient that we miss it. Short sightedness robs people of this and force them to focus on the immediate. The bigger picture can never be arrived at by your permutations. It is a destination that one arrives at through a process whose duration isn't always yours to determine. But the sure thing is, this destination only opens up through the access providence brings your way.

A fool and undiscerning person despises access because he thinks he's had enough doors. Access has been defined as a way or means of approaching or entering; an entrance; a passage.

INSPIRATION: Whenever you gain access, especially, to someone noble and way above your means, these two questions should be at the forefront of your mind: firstly, to what purpose?

Purpose supercedes everything. Purpose determines access and exposes you to God's intent. Doors do not just open, they open so that purposes can be established. Where purpose is unknown, you can't be too sure not to scuttle the plan or misbehave before greatness.

The second question is, what's my mission or assignment for this open door? Every purpose is accompanied by a mission or assignment. We should be more particular about discharging our assignments than in anything else. Else, we would have wasted golden opportunities. Divine resources flow towards those who embark on the mission to fulfilling their assignments.

God deploys resources for the assignment He orders, so He can get the glory out of your obedient action. It is therefore a misplacement of priorities if your intent for gaining access is different from the aforementioned.

Topic: RISE, REGARDLESS (Part 3)!

Bible Text: John 5:7-8 NKJV

7. The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” 

INSPIRATION: Jesus appeared not to be having any of the things the impotent man was saying to justify his prolonged stay in despair. Whilst his reasons seem genuine, Jesus points him to a possibility beyond his comprehension - being in pain can make us imbibe philosophies that entrap us the more. Jesus was going to defy the protocol of waiting for the water to be stirred to get him to wholeness. He is the miracle the man needed; the very Man this impotent man complained of not having.

Sometimes, we remonstrate vehemently when our ability to discern is affected. How so often are we in our divine moment but fail to realise it? How so often do we have the Master right there but we remain in trouble for lack spiritual sensitivity? Twice we saw God call Abraham to a place of separation where he could see clearly: firstly, after Lot separated from him (Gen. 13: 14 - 15); secondly, when he asked his servants to wait while he and Isaac went further to ahead to offer sacrifice (Gen. 22: 5).

Both incidences have great significance: God pulls us from our pasts with limiting mindset to where we can harness all of the possibilities He's unveiling to us; He sets us apart from people who have no bearing to our manifest future! Jesus was telling the impotent man, all you know are history, in your past; I'm your future. You don't belong to the past. So rise up! Roll up your past and walk into your future. Dare to race towards future; it's calling and pulling you to come. Don't stay stuck in yesterday!

As the year rolls behind it the days, look towards a future with greater assurances that your failing experiences can't hinder the future from setting in. Regardless of the struggles, rise to a new level of faith, passion and determination. Kiss yesterday goodbye. God is doing new things, calling you to experience this newness (Isa. 43: 19). Your glory days are here; your answers are upon you with new pathways to thread! This isn't a feel-good motivation; try again!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Limitations in our minds can foster great limitations in our expression of reality. But you can rise above any limitations!

Topic: RISE, REGARDLESS (Part 3)!

Bible Text: John 5:7-8 NKJV

7. The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” 

INSPIRATION: Jesus appeared not to be having any of the things the impotent man was saying to justify his prolonged stay in despair. Whilst his reasons seem genuine, Jesus points him to a possibility beyond his comprehension - being in pain can make us imbibe philosophies that entrap us the more. Jesus was going to defy the protocol of waiting for the water to be stirred to get him to wholeness. He is the miracle the man needed; the very Man this impotent man complained of not having.

Sometimes, we remonstrate vehemently when our ability to discern is affected. How so often are we in our divine moment but fail to realise it? How so often do we have the Master right there but we remain in trouble for lack spiritual sensitivity? Twice we saw God call Abraham to a place of separation where he could see clearly: firstly, after Lot separated from him (Gen. 13: 14 - 15); secondly, when he asked his servants to wait while he and Isaac went further to ahead to offer sacrifice (Gen. 22: 5).

Both incidences have great significance: God pulls us from our pasts with limiting mindset to where we can harness all of the possibilities He's unveiling to us; He sets us apart from people who have no bearing to our manifest future! Jesus was telling the impotent man, all you know are history, in your past; I'm your future. You don't belong to the past. So rise up! Roll up your past and walk into your future. Dare to race towards future; it's calling and pulling you to come. Don't stay stuck in yesterday!

As the year rolls behind it the days, look towards a future with greater assurances that your failing experiences can't hinder the future from setting in. Regardless of the struggles, rise to a new level of faith, passion and determination. Kiss yesterday goodbye. God is doing new things, calling you to experience this newness (Isa. 43: 19). Your glory days are here; your answers are upon you with new pathways to thread! This isn't a feel-good motivation; try again!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Limitations in our minds can foster great limitations in our expression of reality. But you can rise above any limitations!

Topic: RISE, REGARDLESS (Part 2)!

Bible Text: John 5:7-8 NKJV

7. The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” 

INSPIRATION: It is mostly deceptively conveniencing to think you can be comfortable in your comfort zone without applying yourself to objective ways that could change your fortunes positively. A fall is not fatal or finite if you determine it won't be your destination. That was how this impotent man stayed comfortably in his deformity for 38yrs. God forbid!

Believers do not have a cowardice mindset or slothfulness in their DNA (Rom. 12: 11). We've power and a sound mind (2 Tim. 1: 7); we carry and operate the mind of Christ (1 Cor. 2: 16; Phi. 2: 5), that not even death and the grave could hold down. Therefore, falling down is a mechanism that allows for feedback; but staying knocked down is an aberration that shouldn't be condoned. That was why Jesus didn't pay attention to the excuses and sentiments the impotent man was stirring up.

Staying down is a personal choice that belittles the grace and power of God that works in a believer. If you know what manner of spirit you're made of (Luke 9: 55), nothing should put you down (Rom. 8: 35-39). Therefore arise! Climb back up to your position of power; rise to dominion and begin to do the things you did before the fall. Jesus sets you free so you can reign in victory. Take up your bed or anything that supported you in your fallen state, and get back to your originality!

PRAYER: O Lord, I refuse to accept a reality that belittles my potentials. I bounce back from every fall a bigger and better person.

I take responsibility that positively impacts on my reality, in Jesus name.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/63259491Tue, 10 Dec 2024 23:17:15 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Wednesday, December 11, 2024 Topic: RISE, REGARDLESS (Part 2)!

Bible Text: John 5:7-8 NKJV

7. The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” 

INSPIRATION: Pastor Paul Adefarafin is attributed to have said, "Excuses are tools of the incompetent, monuments of nothingness, and they that use them are not wise." Most times, we look for excuses to justify why we're whom we are and why things are the way they are with us. As true or objective as these reasons may seem, they do not justify anything we attribute to them.

The impotent man in John 5 explains why he's remained impotent for 38yrs, maybe to attract pity. But Jesus, in all his compassions offered him no pity. He told him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” You too can't stay down. You need to rise up from all your failed efforts or disappointing outcomes; rise from the hard strokes of betrayal and loses, rise from the pain and guilt of wasted years, fruitless wait and disingenuous deceit that has crippled you.

You need to rise from the guilt and self-pity and self-condemnation of the bad choices you've made. The year might have offered you no respite, the bible says nonetheless, "For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again..." (Prov. 24:16). It your turn to rise, paying no attention to excuses; rise to a new level of thinking, of seeing things and of acting. Isaiah instructs us to, "Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you" (Isaiah 60:1).

You can't remain seated when God's glory has risen upon you. Never! The author of Hebrews shows us the side effect of excuses: "For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food" (Hebr. 5:12). May retrogression never become our portion when we ought to be progressively advancing in leaps and bounds, in Jesus name.

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Excuses will limit your possibilities, shrink your abilities and disqualify you from what is already yours. Rise and pick up your bed of limitations now!

PRAYER: O Lord, I hear and heed Your voice of command to rise up, take up my bed and walk! I refuse to stay down or offer excuses why where affirmative action is required of me.

Like the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11, time shall fail me to make mention of everyone.

You'd turn out just right if only you could hang on in faith. God could use your mess as a building block, a setup for your step up. He's in the details to make foolish the wisdom and strength of men while showcasing His majestic power in our lives.

Your history may be hidden from others, including your loved ones and significant other, but they're never hidden from God! Whilst each sad event in your history may leave you with more questions and scars than answers, God can still use our biggest or deepest scars to spotlight our brightest stars. He's in the details not to disfigure you but to configure and conscript you into a masterpiece with shiny armour.

Sometimes, the pressures and failures we experience exert on us so deeply to pull out our best treasures. It's like subjecting fruits or nuts to heated pressure to extract refined wine or oils from them. Whilst the process may be excruciatingly unbearable, the finished product holds and is worth more value than the raw, unprocessed nut. You need to develop resilience and dogged patience when you're in your process of transformation to God's design.

Joseph went through the processes of hatred, betrayal, slavery, accusation, denial, imprisonment to evolve the Prime Minister; David suffered rejection, fights with a lion and a bear, then Goliath, to emerge as king. In both cases, God was in the details unbeknownst to them that the processes were meant to birth God's plan.

Jesus tells us, "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). Paul makes us understand that even tribulations are tools in God's superior agenda to work out something good for us. No wonder the Psalmist says, "It was good that I was afflicted" (Psa. 119: 71). The affliction was a pruning agent; the tribulation, a refining furnace! If you're discerning, you can see a pattern unfolding!

So when your back is pushed against the wall, and the pain gets more excruciating or you feel abandoned by your support systems, God is in the details much more than you'd ever know. Does He take delight in seeing you suffer? Not necessarily, but the outcome of a better you brings glory to Him.

Paul reckons, "Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom. ‭5:7‭-‬8‬ ‭NIV‬‬). God demonstrates His love in excess by giving His Son in our stead.

As if the gift of His Son in exchange for our guilt wasn't enough, Paul argues further, "He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things? (Rom 8: 32). Thus, the guarantee that anything can be yours in Christ holds true.

God will not withhold any good thing from those who walk uprightly (Ps. 84: 11). If you're still in doubt, Jesus dismisses your doubts and said, "If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!"

Interestingly, such seasons do not align with or have any semblance to happenings in our current economy. No, it is often opposed to our reality.

Daily, you'll be witness to it. It's a season of divine overflow.

You'll see God's abundance everywhere you turn. Nothing is withheld from you, nothing is lacking or in short supply. You'll eat and dwell in plenty (Joel 2: 26).

It takes believing to conquer your worst fears; it takes believing to drown the voices of cynicism or mockery shouting at you and shutting your resolve for a miracle that only Jesus can give. Here's the thing, faith and logic doesn't mix well. If you want to be logical, be logical, and face all the limitations that come with it. If you want to apply faith, stay focused on Jesus and see how boundless your possibilities truly are!]]>215falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/when-logic-doesn-t-add-up--62771212
And Esau said to his father, “Have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me—me also, O my father!” (Gen 27:38). Here, we see that the limitations of men cannot be equated with God's inexhaustible grace or love. Jairus had secured Jesus's approval to come pray for his sick child. On transit, Jesus got intercepted by the Woman with the Issue of Blood, and she snatched her own healing while Jairus's daughter died. It was a dead end for onlookers who told him never to bother Jesus again.

Resigning to fate when things don't go our way is faithlessness and should have no basis in a believer's life. That Esau couldn't get his father's to bless him doesn't set any precedence that Jairus's daughter would remain dead because the woman 'stole' her healing blessing. Real faith doesn't rationalise events to determine outcomes. Don't use anyone's experiences to rule out your own possibilities. The woman got her healing but it didn't shut the doors to a miracle in Jairus's favour. There's always more in God's arsenal to unleash if you would only believe.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/62771212Sat, 16 Nov 2024 23:04:36 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariSometimes, antecedents do not always set the right precedence to determine spiritual outcomes.

A woman approached Jesus with a prayer need for her daughter but Jesus didn't answer her. Instead, He referred to her as a dog! Such derogatory remark you may say, but she worshipped Him by calling Him Lord (Matt. 15: 21-28). Her worship secured the answer her prayer couldn't!

Habakkuk says, "Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!" (Haba 3:17‭-‬18 NLT). Can you praise God in spite of your pain and losses? Can you praise God when all indices read negatively hopeless?

Praise is intentional. It could be spontaneous, but not casual or cheap. David said, "I will not give God that which cost me nothing." If your praise were to be measured in a scale, what would be its worth? Or what can you give in exchange for all God is and does to you? Praise is beyond the lyrics and rhythm of a song you dance to; it is far beyond what you say in prayers. It is more of a lifestyle and the posture of your heart. Because you may dance and sweat but your heart's posture is what determines the quality and acceptance of your praise.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/62745589Fri, 15 Nov 2024 00:02:25 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariA few lines in a popular worship song inspired today's devotional.

Oh! This is so good because it only after these have been accomplished that fixing of things assume any meaningful semblance.  Another thing that prayer does is that it helps you make progress while causing you to rise like an edifice (Jude 1:20 AMPC). This points us to the fact that our progress is stunted or hindered when we can't pray. You can rise to a whole new level of thinking, acting and commanding results when you commit to consistency in prayers.

Whilst not many like public spectacle, the choice to rise like an edifice or remain at your base, insignificant and unnoticed level depends on what you do with your prayer life. Isaiah tells us the product of a prayerful life: "Strength renewal; develop wings like eagles to soar; run without weariness; walk without fainting" (Isaiah 40:31).

Prayer portrays our dependence on God and asking Him to cater to our every need. Your dependency and subsequent asking are acts of worship.

Even Jesus taught His disciples thus, "After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name" (Matt. 6:9 KJV).

This is why prayer is a spiritual warfare. Every war determines the weapon and strategy to engage, and as it is in the physical, so it is in the Spirit! Put up resistance against the devil until he flees. You can't justify your prayerlessness with excuses. Know the devil will not give up without a fight. Resist him even to the point of shedding your own blood (Heb.12: 4), unless your destiny is not worth fighting for.

Raising a standard against the enemy (Isa. 59:19) is a responsibility you must enforce and actualize with prayer. Paul says, "The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ" (2 Cor. 10:4‭-‬5).]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/62697046Mon, 11 Nov 2024 22:28:45 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariPrayer is not funfair but a very serious warfare.

Prayer helps us walk in the consciousness that you're a god and a king with abilities that are supernatural, which gates cannot limit! Prayer transports you into the realm of the spiritual where destinies are made, outcomes are determined, decisions are made and control of the physical plain are ordered. Prayer is a spiritual force, and not just mere muttering of words. The more reason you're encouraged to pray in the Spirit.

Prayer helps you realise your true identity in God, and gives you access into realms where operating on the mandate of your real identity in Christ opens you up to unlimited possibilities. Therefore pray! It'd help you to ascend into the realm of unlimited access, where gates open up of their own accord.

Of more importance is that darkness doesn't just show up. Its manifestation is geared towards stopping the purposes of God in your life.

Your darkness is a forerunner of your morning time; it's a sure prophecy...
Darkness has a message, sometimes, sent in a very distinct voice, at other times, sent through your ordeals and trauma. When its all dark around you, strive to identify the message, be discerning of the voices and signs all around. An identified problem is easier solved than operating in speculation because when energy is concentrated in the right direction, light comes to dispel the darkness. At other times, the darkness could be a scary mirage to plant fear in your heart from advancing. You'll know the truth as you boldly approach and watch it disappear.

Of more importance is that darkness doesn't just show up. Its manifestation is geared towards stopping the purposes of God in your life. The devil uses darkness as a tool to frustrate and truncate the intent of God. So when you see darkness thickening around you, fight to protect your purpose. Do not just lay back and do nothing. The reason you were born and God's business must not suffer loss in your hands. Refuse to glorify and glamourise darkness to do injustice to the reason for your existence!]]>195falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/when-it-s-all-dark-around-you--62593024
John tells us, "...As Christ is, so are we in this world" (1 John 4: 17b). Christ is God. When darkness crept in on God's created world, he did one thing, He weaponised the instrument of darkness to create a very  beautiful masterpiece. What did He do? He let the Holy Spirit move. Oh yes! When it's all dark around you, don't fidget, despair or throw tantrums. Just let God's Spirit move in. When He does, light will flood your life, clarity will come where confusion once reigned, directions and perceptive will be given to help you chart a new cause or stay focused on same as He works it out!

A translation says the Holy Spirit brooded on the water. To brood is similar to what a hen does by sitting on her eggs to hatch them into little chickens. We need to sit on our darkness until we generate enough energy to incubate solutions. Incubation is the transformation stage that gives birth to a new and beautiful life filled with its own dreams and promises. To brood can also refer to being meditative until new answers

God's supremacy, just like His sovereignty, is not up for debate. The same also is His justice! In God's sovereignty, His wisdom is displayed. Here we're already in November, and it appears the year has drawn close its curtains on us because most of our plans and projections failed woefully before our very eyes. The trick of the devil is to label God as unfaithful so as to weaken our faith in Him. But in God's plan, a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like a day before Him. He changes times and seasons and does what He wills without consulting us.

When you've written yourself off, that's His perfect time to show up and show off with you; where they might have shut the doors in your face, that's where He wants to get the glory from. No one can ever wrap their minds around the riches of God, or discern the depth of His wisdom. Who can contest or compare with God's perfect knowledge? Who can ever explain the wonder of God's decisions or search out the mysterious way He carries out His plans? That's why I know your case is not going to end on a low key of failure and obscurity.

Elijah fell into this error of judgment when he complained to God of being His only surviving prophet and the wicked Queen Jezebel was after his life. Unbeknownst to him, God had 7000 prophets who nobody knew existed. The wisdom and knowledge of God confounded his limited knowledge. This is the same challenge and error we face daily when we measure successes or failures by our own standards and senses. The sense organs of sight, hearing, taste touch, smell, are inappropriate medium to judge God's standards. Popularity or obscurity isn't a precise measurement of impact.

Hence, our text opens with soul-searching questions, all of which would have very negative answers. Who can wrap their mind around God's riches or the depth of His wisdom? Or the perfection of God's knowledge? Who could ever explain the wonder of his decisions or search out the mysterious way he carries out his plans? Being unable to answer these questions should compel us to submit completely to His Lordship, knowing we're incomparable to the depth of wisdom that comes from God.

To be virtuous is to live by godly standards, while having compelling attributes that model Christ, uprightness and excellent moral character.

Thinking inspires results when you develop your analytical and problem-solving skills that helps you think through a process. Having an analytical mind and a problem-solving skills helps you create what I call systems thinking. That is, to break your thinking into processes where one thing would seamlessly lead into another in a series of chain reactions.

Analytical thinking helps you to thoroughly evaluate processes or procedures to form concepts.

The fallout of that incidence was the exchange of his powers, his functional capacity, his mental dexterity and all the creative leadership skills he once had all got lost and transferred to the devil. Man began to play a second fiddle to Satan, who became the god of this world. What a sharp fall from the place of grace and power to a powerless state of slavery to sin!

Before the fall, man was dynamic, creative, resourceful and tireless. He could tend and dress the garden of Eden all by himself; he could...
The fallout of that incidence was the exchange of his powers, his functional capacity, his mental dexterity and all the creative leadership skills he once had all got lost and transferred to the devil. Man began to play a second fiddle to Satan, who became the god of this world. What a sharp fall from the place of grace and power to a powerless state of slavery to sin!

Consistency gives you a cautious audacity that's sauced with defiance when faced with insurmountable hurdles. You see, when you've done something over and over again over time, there's no variant of it that emerges that would pose a threat to you. When David stood before Goliath, his size didn't intimidate him because he had in the past single-handedly handled a lion and a bear respectively. The defiance in his approach stems from his antecedents. Consistency gives you a pedigree that boosts your confidence to ride on your challenges with ease.

Consistency doesn't only gives you audacity, it helps you develop tenacity that enhances your staying power, strengthens your mind, boosts great courage and builds your fortitude. Consistency gives you the status of a veteran or specialist whose boldness and tough grip derives from their many successes in handling like cases in their different varieties. Hence, when you're knocked out, you're not counted out. The audacity to bounce back up again after a fall is a reward that is only earned in the school of consistency.

Consistency defines your operational model, helps you carve a niche for yourself and builds brand specifications around what you do and how you do it. Branding through consistent practice sharpens your specialty and sets you apart from the pool. Once your brand stands out, and you're good at what you do, even if hundreds of people are in the same chain of business, your uniqueness would stand you out and bring you huge client patronage. What a way to be rewarded by your consistency!

Now our text says, "...for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." Consistency takes a process to gain stability and recognition. Whilst you cannot determine the duration of your processes, you should keep at it and never be discouraged. Consistency may bring you through many a failed attempt to deepen your roots so you can stand firmly grounded in due time. If you approach failure with an objective mindset, you'd see the great good it does to you and for you when future challenges occur.

Show me a man who's been consistent at something and I'd show you a man built to weather life's storms. The experiences of a steady grinder are life-long treasures that can never be taken away. The scars from the humiliation and mockery received in your days of little beginnings become the stars that brighten your crown as a veteran in the journey to greatness. Every failure offers a unique learning opportunity that ultimately transforms into a reward system.

You'd do well not to be so small-minded as to think rewards come only in monetary compensation. There're lots of life lessons that hold more value than money, that you can only earn in the school of consistency. Consistency eliminates the luxury of time wasting and making of avoidable mistakes when executing a project.

You can't be consistent without becoming diligent. Diligence is a rare combination of carefulness and long-term effort, to get a desired outcome. The bible defines the expected outcome of a diligent person - he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before ordinary men (Prov. 22: 29). That is, diligence takes you out of obscurity to where you can't be held back by any force anymore. Diligence brings you before rich people who are rich in money, connections and ideas, etc.

Your ability to bring value, deliver solutions to people with high standing in society that the bible classified as kings positions you for uncommon rewards. But if you become weary and faint in the course of your journey from consistency to mastery and then to excellence, you'd miss the reward. Don't trivialise the warning signs when weariness begins to set in; don't focus on the rewards and miss the vital processes that guarantees and perpetuate the reward.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/62404733Thu, 17 Oct 2024 23:02:57 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariYesterday, we established that consistency breeds mastery.

A consistent grinding may look indifferent on the surface, but soon, the rewards start showing off. It's like starting off at a gym.

As such, there's a measure of self-discipline that accompanies consistency if you must get your desired results. Our text says, you'd reap if you do not faint but stay consistent!

Many people are losing their rewards to inconsistency: inconsistent with the right regime that guarantees the results; being inconsistent with setting their goals and priorities right; inconsistent with observing the due processes that matures their desired harvest.

Value showcases your level of emotional intelligence or the lack thereof, displays how strategic or uncoordinated you are. Your maturity, predominant character traits and carriage are offshoots of your value system. Values determine the algorithm that's programmed into the operating system of your life. No wonder you cannot deliver an output or result that you have not painstakingly built into your life. It is cabbage in, cabbage out!

Values display the areas of your core competencies. You can't fake it for too long before it gives you away. Values are the stabilising factors around which great dreams are built and sustained. True value is a compass that helps you spot opportunities miles away or sniff danger afar off before it draws near. People with value are not easily enticed.

If you desire to understand the proposition of value in a man, delve into his mind to know how his mind works, what he thinks, what he does, the dreams and goals he's chasing and so on, and you'd be shocked to your marrows. Where true value is not known or defined, you can't groom or multiply it. You can't exchange it either for what it is worth. It is the reason thieves sell stolen goods at very ridiculously low prices. Where value is not known, unrestrained abuse kicks in!

True value is not determined by numbers, but on the premium you place on it. Then also, true value is determined by whose hands it is in. A million dollars in the hands of a child or a spendaholic, who has not mastered the art of multiplying money has no economic value.

A man without a vision would not be able to set the right priorities. At best, he would place premium on things that hold no value at the expense of what does. He'd have an overblotted ego of self-fulfilment for achieving mundane things while starving himself the opportunity to make meaningful propositions to life. Your vision would determine what you chase after or allow run after you. Your vision would determine the circle you mingle with, the things you embrace and what you discard.

A man who lacks vision would only see a problem and magnify it. The same thing he considers a challenge is what someone with a vision sees as an opportunity that must never be missed. So vision defines perspectives. Vision determines our focus: either on the immediate problem or on the bigger picture.

Some encounters are destiny-changing, others are empowerment driven to equip us to walk a path ordained for us; a path that can only be walked through by grace because we've been given the power to be that specific specimen or entity for that special purpose or office. John says, "As many as received him, he gave the power to be..." It is at the place of encounter that the receiving exchange occurs so the empowering transaction can be sealed.

An encounter will nearly always separate us from what we're used to or strengthen us to be more resourceful and productive in what we're doing. Encounters impact us so we can make positive impact on others. Divine encounters are God's investments with definitive goals at heart to effect positive changes in society; they become the rallying campfire around which our lives revolve, set our hearts on fire so the will of God can be established in that we've been sent for. Show me a man who ever made any significant impact in any field of human endeavours, and I'd show you a man forged in the furnace of encounters.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/62277049Mon, 07 Oct 2024 23:04:47 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariGreat men are products of encounters; encounters that have lived through the test of time; encounters that have been subjected to fire.

Paul admonishes us, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others" (Phi 2: 3 -4). Once your action is sponsored by selfishness, then it is not of love, no matter how it is viewed. If it doesn't place a higher value on others, it has failed to pass the love test! The bedrock of our actions must be to look out for the interest of others, by doing to them what we wish others do to us.

The emphasis of Jesus in Luke 6: 31, "The way you want others to treat you is how you should treat everyone else," challenges us to pause and think before we act. Should others do to me this way, how would I feel? What impact would it leave on me? This would put a fair balance to our actions and make us act from the deep reserves of our bowels of mercy. Love is demonstrated through acts woven in mercy. Let the kindness of your heart show through charitable actions.

Thus, our corresponding action to God's immeasurable and boundless love should be love to humanity. To buttress this thought, Paul further argues that, "If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing" (1 Cor 13:1, 3). What this implies is that love is the measuring yardstick for which our actions are weighed.

These scriptures should challenge us to take a station break and think: am I in any way fulfilling scriptures? What percentage of my actions to others or service to God is motivated by love? If they were of love, why do I feel frustrated if they're not given the kind of attention or response I expect?

Don't just remain a consumer of other people's idea and products; that might become a huge waste of all of God's investments and deposits of graces in your life if you can't reproduce after your kind and fill the earth with it.

You've no idea how powerful you are with the Holy Spirit; you've no idea what great stretch of possibilities the Holy Spirit can make happen for you. Your mind cannot fathom what the breath and inspiration of the Holy Spirit can bring about. Many of us limit our possibilities by trying to figure out everything on our own. Then our human limitations pose barriers that shatter our possibilities. But you can never get it wrong with the Holy Spirit. Lean on Him!

Jesus superimposes the supernatural on Peter's reality. After a fruitless toiling all night, Jesus instructs him what to do and where to cast his net. The outcome was a great catch that broke his net. Looking for a netbreaking miracle? All you need is an instruction, a word from God can turn around the trajectory of your life in the split of a second. Hence neglegence to any divine instruction is at your own peril.

The multiplier effect takes every limit off you. You're boundless is scope and reach; your mind can conceive, create and do so many unimaginable things. Most of us are not yet multiplying because we don't see ourselves in the light of the reality that God sees us as. That notwithstanding, the good news is that because God's word instructs you to multiply, everything about you and the universe will conspire to see you live in this reality.

Does this absorb me of my responsibility and placing same on God? Not at all. It simply means the enabling grace to pull expansion surprises is now active in you. Also, it means God will orchestrate events favourably on your behalf so you can seize the moment to create products or services with a global appeal.

Fruitfulnes, contextually, is in everything! Your mind and spirit should be as fruitful and resourceful as your body. However, in the event that this isn't the case, it is your responsibility to ensure you bridge the gap to meet the demand. Jesus tells a story where a certain gardener requested his master to allow him some time to apply manure around an unproductive tree and the outcome was great. Manure, implies the Word of God. Feed your spirit and mind with the right word until it begins to yield great fruits. Don't stop either when the fruits start manifesting. Keep at it until it works!

To guarantee your fruitfulness, trim your excesses. Sharpen your skillset. Don't be obsolete in a compulsorily competitive world where information update is daily. If your operating system is outdated, you'll be inefficient, annoyingly slow until it shuts down abruptly.

There're several pillars as it were, on which the believer's mandate is established. The first is to "BE!" The command to be, is suggestive of the fact that one can derail from his original nature. God commands you to be the very essence for which you were created. Don't leave your originality in vain pursuit of what you're not. Be the original, authentic you that leaves no one in doubt that God created you a masterpiece. Your authenticity activates and aggregates all of God's intent for you and makes them function to full capacity.

Then He says, "Be fruitful...!" Fruitlessness displeases God. Jesus, in his displeasure, cursed the fruitless fig tree because it displayed characteristics that were strange and contrary to its nature.

Our praises to God should stem from our relationship to Him; relationship that's deeper than whether he provides or not.

Life can sometimes come up with its own pressure. It'd be wrong, if not frustrating to think you've the answer to everything life throws at you. But the grace for daily living can be easily supplied when we ask God in faith for our daily bread. Don't trivialise this need if you don't want to be overwhelmed by life itself.

One common mistake we make is to relax from praying once things begin to shape up around us. But this is against the model Jesus taught us. He says to ask for our daily bread.

Daily bread, when put in context, refers to much more than the food we eat to stay alive. The bible says, "God daily loads us with benefits" (Ps. 68: 19). Everything that falls within the purview of the generalised term, "benefits" qualifies to be called a daily bread. Some translations refer to this daily loads of benefits as daily bearing of our burdens. Now it makes more sense because there isn't a man who's never had burdens to bear. Reason some of us crumble under the weight of our burdens is because we've never come to terms with the fact that God is loving enough to take care of our burdens, so we bear them instead of casting them on Him (1 Pet. 5: 7).

Jesus taught his disciples the need to rely on God to carry their burdens and meet their needs. He has the capacity to supply every need (Phi. 4: 19) because He's El-Shaddai, the multi-breasted One. He has everything you need manufactured and stored up waiting for your request order. He's not going to go look for it, he has it in wait, custom-made just for you.

When we drown ourselves in getting our validation from others instead of from the uniqueness of our purposes and whom we are created as, a major problem is created. Often, people who live like this are mostly undecided on anything. They've no mind of their own, even when the right path to take is so clear before them. They're always caught between opinions and while at it, great opportunities would pass them by. Why seek validation from someone who doesn't have your blueprint?

When we drown ourselves in getting our validation from others instead of from the uniqueness of our purposes and whom we are created as, a major problem is created. Often, people who live like this are mostly undecided on anything. They've no mind of their own, even when the right path to take is so clear before them. They're always caught between opinions and while at it, great opportunities would pass them by. Why seek validation from someone who doesn't have your blueprint?

A change in strategy would undoubtedly enhance productivity and cause your earth to yield her increase. Be positively creative with your imagination to beat competition. "And the LORD said, ... and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do" (Gen. 11:6). The 'doing' part is where most persons are stuck and failure sets in. But anyone who's able to combine both his imagination and action, goes unrestrained!

Now, begin to task your brain to think of the things you can do differently, the skills you should acquire and the approaches to eliminate completely. Refuse to let inertia stop you. But more importantly, refuse to remain on same spot forever. The goal in farming is increased productivity.

Why is this important? It is because many people only praise God in the good times. But those who truly want to engage this principle would see manifestations like never known before. Jehoshaphat and his army, in obedience to God's instructions, deployed praise as a war strategy, and the enemy nations utterly slaughtered themselves till none was left. And great spoils of wealth were left behind for their benefits. Jesus gave thanks and broke bread. That action triggered a multiplier effect until there was a surplus of twelve baskets from just five loaves.

Now, your new strategy might not literally be praise, but be open-minded to ideas and inspiration that would end in you giving glory to God. Even a winning strategy can be infused with new elements to enhance productivity. Strategic positioning, higher deployment of improved technology, meet people and exert your presence.

There're some basic truth about life that would help shape your adulthood: nobody can love you more than you love yourself. To wait for anyone to love you more is to undermine your worth; nobody can pray for you more than you pray for yourself. If you think otherwise, you'd remain in the realm of wishes and watch your destiny pass you by; and it is nobody's duty to clean you up properly after using the convenience. To expect this of others is to make yourself a stinking public nuisance. Be responsible for yourself!

Everyone has his burden to bear; to resign to fate and hope another person would add yours to theirs is to live in a fool's paradise. Hunger and deprivation would teach you hard lessons you might never graduate from.

Even in areas where you're considered to be full of strength becomes a struggle.

The natural thing to do was to grieve and be consumed in despair, but not so with David. He encouraged himself in the Lord, drew strength from him and sought direction how to go about events. That's an unbroken man, he can take a licking and still be ticking. To have an unbroken spirit is to have a fighting spirit that's not detered by what's thrown at them. You're troubled on every side but won't be distressed; despair has nothing on you. Persecution fuels your resolve and leaves you indestructible.

It doesn't matter the nature of darkness you might be experiencing right now. Joy will come in the morning (Psalm 30: 5). God is about to cause you to breakforth in new songs of joy. You'll experience divine turnarounds; your joy and glory days will be restored. Your morning of great light is about to pierce through the darkness. God will shorten your waiting season, terminate your years of despair and restore all your losses. You'll sing for joy again.

It was in such challenging times as you now face that the prophet of God declared, "By this time tomorrow, things will change (2 Kings 7: 1). An amazing tomorrow that will rubbish all the years of your pain is here; you'll carry your Isaac as a taken of evidence that God reigns over barrenness!

Hope doesn't have a stay-down spirit; it keeps rising after each fall. It says my tender branch will not cease. Can I speak to every budding dream in your heart, it will not cease. Life and effect would be given to the dreams of your heart to see them materialise. There's release of fresh oil, grace and impetus to your dreams. You'll mount up strong wings to fly them to very enviable heights.

Hope doesn't work in isolation; it is fueled by our knowledge and application of the word of God that you've allowed into your heart. Job points us to the cut tree having the ability to sprout again because the scent of water, which is God's word, was introduced to it. I would to God that you'd carefully and dutifully embrace more of God's word that is able to build you up and give you and inheritance (Acts 20: 32).

The scripture describes us as gods (Psalm 82: 6), and as He is in this world, so are we (1 John 4: 17). It would be logical therefore to conclude that our words are equally not ordinary, but spirit and life-giving; having the potential to shape destinies, determine outcomes like God’s at creation. What this implies, is whatever you say takes on a life of its own. If you say you're good, good manifests; if you project negativity, you'll get exactly whatever you say.

Words are not idle or casual. In the realm of the Spirit, jokes do not exist. Although God is humorous, His humour doesn't include negative words. Jesus was never careless with words, because He knew His words carry spirit and life. Yours does too. Therefore, infuse life as a life-giver into whatever you say.

To be fervent in prayer, requires exhibiting particular enthusiasm, zeal, conviction, persistence, or belief. It is to be glowing, and burning very hot, irrespective of your real-time situation. Fervency borders on your faith, your belief in God's ability to answer your heart's desires. It is healthy faith condition that makes tremendous power available in the place of prayer that births dynamic works. Prayer devoid of faith has nothing to stand on or expect.

When you're sincere and discerning, you'd know when your prayer is generating or not generating tremendous power. Prayer that doesn't move you, is unlikely to move God or swing the pendulum. This defeats also the erroneous thought that longevity is key that guarantees results in prayer. No, it is not in duration but in devotion.

Effective prayer is not a monologue where you dish out requests or instructions to God to fix. Interestingly, God is more interested in fixing us first than he is in fixing the things we ask in prayer.

Prayer aims to change us first from within before it changes our situation; it changes our orientation and worldview, helping us to gain broader perspective. It elevates our thinking and stretches our faith to see and believe possibilities beyond the realm of humanity to the divinity. It is at this realm that you enforce decrees as a watchman (Dan. 4: 17). No wonder Job says you shall make a decree and it shall be established (Job 22: 28).

Reflecting on His goodness or faithfulness gives us the assurance that everything will work out for your good to bring glory to God, including that inexplicable challenge. The failures, bad reports, unfortunate news, etc, at the end, will work for our good because God will get the glory out of because it would end in praise. Darkness will give way to light, mourning to joy, weeping to dancing. God will pull a fast one on the enemy again, like He did with the resurrection of Jesus.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/61030916Wed, 14 Aug 2024 23:05:43 +0000Emmanuel AfiawariSometimes, we're caught up in a storm or pressured on every side to judge God as unfaithful to us when we think we've done nothing to deserve the kind of outcomes we have.

Even when events are orchestrated to spite you, scheme you out or undermine you, it'd not end the way they planned it. God would ambush them, turn their schemes around or make someone to act foolishly just so you'd be favoured. You'd still get ahead regardless of the plot to keep you down; you'd succeed in spite of all the hurdles you'd have to cross. God's got your back, and he'll walk you through the process.

God does not only convert an enemy's plot to your favourable outcome, He can turn your own mistakes into a masterstroke of success. Whilst you might be crying about it, the end results in peace. Therefore, don't never rule yourself out of what God can do with the sewmingly broken pieces of your life.

In these uncertain times, what can you do and how far can you go without trusting in God. Trust him when you can or can't figure out your next line of action, do not rely on your own understanding. Do you know nothing shakes or moves those that trust in the Lord (Psa. 125: 1)?]]>203falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/god-s-unfailing-assurances--60854655

But I came to challenge you to see beyond the veil of fear, inertia and uncertainty. See the possibilities that abound on the flip side of your fears. Fears are on a flip side of your coin; flip the other and see the array of big pictures to explore. On the flip side of your struggle is a blessedness the challenge is seeking to conceal.

If I'm like God, why am I not creative, loving, or having such great amount of authority? Why do things appear to get out of control around me, leaving me helplessly defeated?
