THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL... DATE: SUNDAY OCTOBER 30TH, 2016. TEXT: Matthew 15:13, John 8:36 THEME: THAT REPROACH MUST BE OVER MESSAGE: "And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day." (Joshua 5:9) On this particular day in question, the Lord rolled away all the reproach of Egypt from the children of Israel. In Egypt, they were made to serve with rigour against their will and they had no life of their own. The Israelites were in slavery and servitude and could not realize their potentials. They were stagnated. That was a reproachful situation which God needed to remove from off them. Without removing that reproach, it would be difficult for them to realize the gains of nationhood or even be established as individuals. Many people are suffering from one kind of reproach or the other and have become laughing stock and objects of caricature in the

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL... DATE: SATURDAY OCTOBER 29TH, 2016. TEXT: Daniel 11:32, Deuteronomy 11:23-24. THEME: YOU HAVE AN UNLIMITED CAPABILITY TO EXCEL MESSAGE: "Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses." (Joshua 1:3) This was the promise that God made to Joshua as He commissioned him to take over from His servant Moses. He assured him that wherever the sole of his feet would touch automatically belonged to him. This was like an open cheque to Joshua. That means that the territory the Israelites would occupy depended upon Joshua's resolve to occupy a particular spot or another. There was no kind of limitation like saying, "Stop here or there." Remember, this promise was after Joshua had been certified fit. He brought back a good report from their spying assignment. He demonstrated ample faith in the power of God as he agreed with Caleb that they were well able to overcome t

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL... DATE: FRIDAY OCTOBER 28TH, 2016. TEXT: ISAIAH 60:1-3 THEME: IT IS TIME FOR YOUR GLORY TO SHINE MESSAGE:   "28 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. 30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him." (Exodus 34:29-30) Moses was in the presence of God for a period of forty days and forty nights and came down from Mount Sinai with the tablets of stone bearing the Ten Commandments. But then, the glory of God covered him; his face shone and the people could not look at his face. It goes on to tell us that being in the presence of God makes His glory to appear to the point that people will see you and see the glory. Being a Chosen and always in the presence

TEXT: Genesis 17:1-2, Exodus 6:5 THEME: GOD'S COVENANT WILL NULLIFY PREVIOUS SPIRITUAL ENTANGLEMENTS MESSAGE:  "And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. "(Ezekiel 34 :25-30) Our forefathers entered into covenants that only succeeded in enslaving their children and mortgaging our destinies into the hands of idols, evil spirit, demons, shrines, temples, covens, witches and wizards etc. Till today, many people are still groaning under the weight of different kinds of yokes and bondage exerted upon them by these satanic forces - marine spirit powers (spirit husband/wife ), speaking altars, ancestral spirits, familial spirit idols, deities gods and goddesses -name them. These yokes and bondage manifest in the form of failure in life's endeavours, stagnan

THE CHOSEN DAILY CHOSEN DATE: TUESDAY OCTOBER 25TH,2016. TEXT: John 8:32, 1 John 5:18 THEME: BE PRACTICAL! MESSAGE: "If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. " (John 13:17) As a child of God, there are many things that God has brought to your attention especially through the messages emanating from our pulpit. Some of these things include the need to live holy and righteous and according to the will of God. You are expected to live a life of non-compromise and to depend on God for all things. One of the things which you are supposed to do now is to pray fervently at all times. It does not just stop at knowing these things, you must also endeavour to do them in order to guarantee peace, joy and happiness. Maybe demons have been attacking you and hold sway over your life thereby making life unbearable for you. It might also be that some yokes and bondage have proved to be stumbling blocks against your destiny and as such you are not happy. You

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: MONDAY OCTOBER 24TH,2016 TEXT: Psalm 89:22, Job 22:28 THEME: GETTING THE RIGHT PLACEMENT IN LIFE IS ACHIEVABLE MESSAGE: "Moreover will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime." (2 Samuel 7: 10) Today, many people are under-utilized in their places of work and business. They are not able to reach their potentials. After spending years in tertiary institution and qualifying as a graduate, all you can find is the job of a cleaner or messenger and the excuse is usually that the economy is bad. In spite of your qualification, the job you are doing is far below your certificate. Maybe you have worked for years without promotion and those that are less qualified have been promoted to higher ranks and offices and you are in despair. Have you been running up and down with

GENESIS 22:16-18, EXODUS 19:5, JEREMIAH 32:27 THEME: GOD HAS SWORN TO BLESS YOU (PART II) MESSAGE:  Our Father in heaven has sworn to bless you, He cannot alter his promise. He is the Lord God. He cannot lie (Titus 1:2). He is the covenant keeping God, any word that comes out of His mouth must surely come to pass (Psalm 89:33-34), (Hebrews 6:18), (Isaiah 43:3). He has sworn to bless you. So, you will go home with God’s blessing in Jesus' name. His promises are yeah and Amen (2 Corinthians 1:20), God has sworn to bless you (Genesis 22:16-18). As many that obey Him like Abraham (Genesis 24:1) shall be blessed, Israelite obeyed God and God bless them (Exodus 1:7). If we repent of our sins and the sins of our Nation, God will show us mercy and bless us in Jesus' name (2 Chronicle 7:14). FOR MORE UNDERSTANDING, WE SHALL CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING POINTS: 1. A CALL FOR REPENTANCE AND THE REASONS! 2. OUR RESPONSE AND

DATE: 22ND OCTOBER 2016 THEME: GOD HAS SWORN TO BLESS YOU (PART 1) TEXT: Genesis 22:16-18, Exodus 19:5, Jeremiah 32:27 Our Father in Heaven, the Almighty, the All Powerful, the Merciful, The Holy One of Israel, our Lord Jesus Christ has come to bless you and our nation. If we will confess our sins and that of our nation, He will bless us. He is ever ready to show mercy. In this programme today, He will show you mercy (Malachi 3:6). Those before us, whenever they had sinned and realized their sins and asked for forgiveness, God always forgave. So, we need to repent and cry unto God for mercy and He will heal our land (2 Chronicles 7:13-15). God is willing to bless us and heal us if we will repent (Genesis 24:1). When the Lord takes an oath, He will never reverse it. Like Abraham, He will bless us. We shall consider this message under the following sub-headings: 1. The Holy God, the unfortunate situation, our reasons and examples. 2. Our expected response

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL... DATE: SATURDAY OCTOBER 22ND, 2016. TEXT: Matthew 24:42, Ephesians 6:18 THEME: THERE MUST BE NO LOSS OF CONCENTRATION MESSAGE: "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. " (Matthew 26:41) This is very crucial period in the history of this nation and the whole world at large. It is a period when believers seek to consolidate on the gains of serving God through His Son Jesus Christ, while on the other hand, the devil seeks to strip them of every glory that is upon them and cause them to go to hell. So, it is a very dicey period. Any mistake can prove suicidal. That is why you must be at alert and never lose concentration. You must never be carried away by the euphoria of your salvation or by any form of merriment that is going on around you. The times are evil. This is a time to seek to be spiritual by drawing near the Lord through prayer, fasting and serious s

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL... DATE: FRIDAY OCTOBER 21ST, 2016. TEXT: ISAIAH 49:4 , Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain :yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God. THEME: THE ERA OF CATCHING NOTHING IS OVER MESSAGE:  "And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing, nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. 6. And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. " (Luke 5: 5 -6) The above scripture of toiling all day with nothing to show for their efforts represents the case of many people. Week to week; month to month and year to year, the story is always the same and they begin to wonder what has gone wrong. Remember, the disciples were without Jesus and they caught nothing. But as Jesus arrived at the scene, their story changed and they caught fishes to the point that their net al

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL... DATE: THURSDAY OCTOBER 20TH, 2016. TEXT: Isaiah 43:13 THEME: YOU ARE A DIVINE PROJECT MESSAGE: "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. " (Zechariah 4:9) History is replete with stories of men and women who have embarked on different projects only to abandon them halfway. Some had to abandon such projects because evil people rose up to sabotage their efforts as their businesses folded up or they lost their jobs. The scripture is aware of this program of the devil concerning the projects of the people of God. In the case of Zerubbabel, God insists that as he had embarked upon the project of building, he would definitely bring it to a successful completion - not by his might or power but by the Spirit of the Lord. What is the project you have undertaken that is under the threat of satanic forces con

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL... DATE: WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 19TH, 2016. TEXT: Exodus 31:3 THEME: THE SPIRIT AND POWER OF THE LORD SHALL ACCOMPLISH IT MESSAGE:  "Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. " (Zechariah 4:6) The reason why many people are not making the desired impact in life is that they see life's battles as being physical or carnal. And as such, they labour and labour in vain. They are ready to go to any length just for them to make it in life. Hardly do they understand that they need supernatural intervention to live in supernatural abundance. What is it that you have been struggling and labouring to get? The word of God is saying it is not by might or by power. It is only by the spirit ofGod. The economic situation prevailing in the nation presently is unfriendly. There are issues that border on security

Text: Isaiah 1:19-20 THEME: OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE MESSAGE: "lf they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. 12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. "(Job 36:11-12) Many people are going through serious suffering in life because they have vehemently refused to serve God. They have held tenaciously unto traditional and cultural practices and beliefs and other forms of activities that promote the work of the devil including worldliness. As a result, they are on the verge of death and hell. On the other hand, if the people serve God, they shall spend their days in prosperity and their years in pleasure. The bible insists that because God is a Spirit, those that serve Him must do so in spirit and in truth. Therefore, serving God is not by paying lip-service or serving Him in

TEXT: Joshua 1:8 THEME: STAY STRONG, DON'T SHIVER MESSAGE  "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. "(Ephesians 6:10) The above scripture was the admonition which Apostle Paul gave to the Ephesians in his epistle to them. In that epistle, they were expected to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might to resist whatever would challenge their faith in God that it may be well with them. The admonition touched every stratum of their lives including honour to parents, respect to elders and masters and living a righteous life, preaching the word of God. They were also expected to be strong to wage spiritual battles against the devil whenever he surfaces in their lives. We are in a world of battle where the enemy surfaces very often to wage war — in our marriages, businesses, jobs, careers and so on. The admonition to you today is to be strong in

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL... DATE: WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 12TH, 2016. TEXT: Ephesians 6:10-18, Psalm 79:11 THEME: THERE IS BATTLE TO BE FOUGHT MESSAGE:   "The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. " (Exodus 14:14) As had already been explained in the introductory analysis of the month we are into, there is going to be increased activities everywhere — on the highways, streets, market places, tourist centres and so on. This increase is a reaction that usually takes place during the 'ember' months. While people run helter-skelter to meet up with set objectives, desperate individuals who have no visible means of livelihood are also busy doing everything possible to realize their own 'dreams' of killing, maiming, duping etc. It is therefore unsurprising that more accidents take place; many more people get missing, ritual killings and kidnapping also - including women and children. Remember, during this period, the devil pen

MESSAGE: "35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." Romans 8:35-37 There are many issues of life that might arise just to take you away from the love of God. It could be tribulation — troubles, such as the nation and the world are going through today. It could be persecution, famine, inflation. danger and death. All the above are the order of the day. Believers suffer persecution in many places even in our nation. Sometimes, they can place systematic bans on processions, vigils, crusades, mor
