Have You Missed It? [ 1 min read ★ ] . . . he rewards those who seek him—Hebrews 11:6 If God chose to speak to us using methods unmistakable, undeniable—a clearly audible voice or a conversation with an angel, perhaps—identifying his voice would be simple. Such encounters would be impossible to ignore, even for the distracted or dissenting among us. He employs methods like these, however, only but very rarely. Much more often, he uses methods any of us can mistake, or even deny—methods like his still, small voice and human agency. Identifying his voice when it comes through these latter methods is—by intentional design—more difficult. Note the story of Elijah on Mount Horeb, when God uses his still, small voice (1 Kings 19:9-18). He makes it clear the nature of this voice is not dramatic, nor the volume loud; it’s a gentle whisper. Unobtrusive. It’s not forced upon Elijah, nor upon us. The same is true of human agency. When he speaks through family, friends, acquaintances, his voice is likewise easy to mistake, easy to deny. Such people talk with us every day and the few words that are inspired can get lost among the many that are not. Again, unobtrusive. But, though unobtrusive, Elijah still heard God’s voice. And so can we. We can hear it—but we must listen determinedly. Otherwise it’ll fade into noise. Why? Why does God allow us to find him when we seek him earnestly and hide himself from us when we do not? To do differently would be coercion, or close to it. And that’s not how he works. Okay, so what do we do? Get rid of distraction. Drop the skepticism. Drop the defiance, brother. He wants a two-way relationship with you, one in which you speak and are spoken to . . . by God Almighty. That’s an astounding offer. All he wants is for you to choose him, freely. Choose him. Your brother in Christ,

Eguh Nnamdi's Nugget Dated: 04:05:024 Topic: CATALYSTS OF FAVOURS   Word: ‭‭Proverbs 18:22 KJV‬‬ Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, And obtaineth favour of the LORD. Here's My Take: Intro.. CATALYST: Catalyst human is that one person that everyone needs in this life journey. Just one is enough to change your destiny and bring you to the realm you've been longing for. One of the reasons why majority of people are living like they've never seen the help of God, is because of the kind of people in their lives. There's no one that doesn't have a bright destiny or future. What they lack is a catalyst human. Anyone that hasn't found his Catalyst human will always be slow in life. Just like elements without a catalyst doesn't react faster, that person's destiny-ation journey will be very sluggish. Naturally, no one can do alone. Even God at a point said let us(Gen 1:26; 11:7). God created man(man & woman) for the help/purpose/development of man. Any man that misses that man(catalyst) will have a sluggish purpose driven life. Conclusion: The best thing that can happen to any individual is to have a catalyst human; his/her presence makes fulfilling purpose very friendly and faster. I receive mine Lord. Song: Create in me a clean heart And purify me, purify me Create in me a clean heart So I may worship Thee Cast me not away from thy presence Please don't take your spirit from me And restore the joy of salvation So that I may worship Thee Please Lord God Prayer: Father I receive my catalysts of men in Jesus name. Amen. *For Sponsorship or any info WhatApp: +2348094598538.

How easily we harshly judge how others use of their money… (John 12) The infamous Mary and the bottle of perfume scene is set before us. Using her most expensive perfume she annoits Jesus’s feet, and then gets scrutinized by the disciples, specifically Judas. (12:1-6) Jesus then sets everyone back in their place. (12:7-8) And I can help but think how similar I am to Judas and the other disciples: judging what people spend their money on, how they use their resources, especially when it seems “wasteful” in my own POV. And it really puts the mirror in front of my face of WHY do I feel that way? And if I’m honest, it’s because of my own skewed perceptions of “best” and “self righteous priorities”. Because they say what you spend your money on reflects your heart: but there are SO many things and needs in the world, that we must also have discernment on when and how to spend our resources! But what’s ultimately most important in this entire thing is: our heart. Judas’s criticism is through jealous and selfish motives that Mary’s resource couldn’t be utilized for HIMSELF, and using the catch-all “help the poor” to disguise that motivation. But Mary’s focus was to give the absolute BEST to Jesus first, despite what others might think. And that also puts a mirror in front of myself too and brings to mind: how many times have I STOPPED myself giving the best in fear or what others may think of the “wastefulness” or the “bougie” attitude I might accidentally give off? But that’s focusing on ME again isn’t it? So food for thought: am I making wise resource spending decisions, with glorifying God as the priority? Am I allowing the fear of others dictate what I will do openly? Am I willing to humble myself at Jesus’s feet despite other’s reactions?

Let's go for a deep dive into exploring what TRUST means from a 'newfound' Biblical perspective. Establishing eternally-based trust with God is the absolute and ESSENTIAL KEY to defining the depth of your relationship with Him. @everyone @followers @highlight

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Acts 1:8 Have you ever felt the weight of a calling that seemed bigger than yourself? There's something powerful about standing at the edge of your comfort zone, knowing you're meant for more. It reminds me of those first disciples - ordinary people given an extraordinary mission. They weren't CEOs or influencers, just regular folks like you and me, told they would reach the ends of the earth. But here's the beautiful truth: They weren't sent alone. "You will receive power," was the promise. Not "you should try harder" or "you need to be better." Simply: power will come. Think about your own Jerusalem - your immediate circle: 📌 Your family 📌 Your neighborhood 📌 Your workplace 📌 Your social media community Then consider your Judea and Samaria - those places just beyond your comfort zone: 📌 People who think differently than you 📌 Communities you wouldn't normally connect with 📌 Relationships waiting to be restored 📌 Opportunities you've been hesitant to embrace The journey doesn't start at the ends of the earth. It starts right where you are, with one step of faithful courage. What's your Jerusalem? Where is that first step calling you today? Share below - your story might be exactly what someone else needs to hear. 💫

Declare the end from the beginning. Isaiah 46:10 NKJV Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, 'My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,' God has given us the authority to determine how things will turn out for us. The outcome of your situation depends on what you declare from the beginning. When you are diagnosed, declare from the beginning, "I am healed." When you apply for a job, declare from the beginning, "The job is mine." Don’t say, "I am waiting for the outcome of the interview" or "I am waiting for the test results. No; you determine the outcome of the interview and the test results. Declarations. My words are creative. God fulfils my predictions. Prophetic Instructions. Believe without a doubt that God will fulfil every word you speak. Take your positions of authority in all circumstances and declare the word of God. Don't let the enemy discourage you over the challenges you face. Rise up and use the power of God's word in you.

Relationships, The Most Taxing Things You Will Ever Do (Part 1 of 3) We are continuing with the theme of Proceeding with Purpose. Today’s focus is on Proceeding with Purpose Personally and Professionally. This discussion is a little long but take the time to read and think about it today. This area is the toughest to write about because of its importance and the many intricacies that make up our personal and professional lives. Proceeding with purpose, personally and professionally, takes energy. Interacting with people is one of the most taxing things you will ever do. And it will be one of the most rewarding things you will ever do. And guess what? Interacting with and obeying your Lord is the most taxing and rewarding thing you will ever do. The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20) and Jesus's summation of all the commandments (Matthew 22:37-40) show us that the most important thing for us to get right is our relationships. Your relationship with God (the first 3 commandments), your relationships with yourself (the 4th and part of the last commandment), and your relationships with others (the last 6 commandments). Jesus's words in Matthew 22 are easy to follow: Love your God, Love yourself, and Love your neighbor as you would love yourself. Having a healthy love of who you are, not an arrogant, self-centered, or selfish love of yourself, is essential in treating others how they should be treated. Proceeding with purpose in these areas of your life cannot be undervalued. How you proceed with purpose and exercise your power in your relationships is how your Lord will judge you. We will talk about your relationship with your Lord on Friday. Today, we will focus on your personal and professional relationships. Thanks for reading. Proceed to Part 2

ARE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS PULLING YOU DOWN OR BRINGING YOU UP? Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” (1Corinthians 15:33) For most of us growing up we probably heard a parent or teacher quote this familiar Bible verse! It is amazing how the simplest of principles can sometimes become the most complex. We can so easily fall into the trap of the wrong crowd. It may be big things that scream out that our friends are wrong for us or it may be small things that we might easily overlook. Things like a negative attitude, gossiping, lack of making wise choices and lack of love for God can end up being huge things if we allow them to have an influence on our character. Remember we usually become who we hang out with. YOUR PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, thank you that you have a great plan and purpose for my life. As I look closely at the friendships in my life help me to see things from your perspective. Help me to have the courage to step back from the relationships that are pulling me down and keeping me from growing closer to you. Help me to find the right friends and be a friend of great character. In Jesus’ name, Amen. QUESTIONS: 1. What kind of character do your friends have? 2. Are they a good or bad influence on your life? And do they make you a better Christian? IF THIS DEVOTIONAL SPEAKS TO YOU then I encourage you to share it with others you know who might be struggling and need to hear this today. ❤ HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY AND SMILE 🤪 BECAUSE YOU'RE AWESOME AND BECAUSE JESUS LOVES YOU!
