THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL… DATE: Tuesday, December 26th, 2017. TEXT: Revelation 12:11 THEME: THE BLOOD OF JESUS SHALL BE YOUR MARK OF IDENTITY MEMORISE : And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. (Exodus 12:13) MESSAGE:  Unarguably, there is power in the blood. Blood is the life of anything that is living. If all the blood in the body of any person is drained, such person is left with no life. That is the extent of the power in the human blood. But the bible talks about the blood of the Lamb of God, which was an offsetting factor for sin.  It has no blemish nor wrinkles. It is a holy blood. And that is the blood that was to be a token upon the houses where the children of Israel living in Egypt resided. The mark of the blood of the Lamb of God was designed to be an identity upon t...

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL… DATE: Monday, December 25th, 2017. TEXT: Psalm 118:10-12 THEME: YOU SHALL BRUISE THEIR HEADS MEMORIZE: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. (Genesis 3:15-16). MESSAGE:  God was not happy with the actions of the devil at the Garden of Eden when Eve first sinned against God and then her husband Adam. From that moment, He decreed that the seed of the woman shall bruise the head of the serpent. Jesus Christ is the Seed of the woman and He overcame the devil at the cross of Calvary thereby bruising his head.  Colossians 2:15 states, And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Jesus Christ has overcome the devil and made a public show of him. By the reason of Jesus Christ bruising the head of the devil, every believer therefore receives a corresponding...

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL… DATE: Sunday, December 24th, 2017. TEXT: Psalm 91 THEME: THE BEAST SHALL BE CAST INTO FIRE MEMORISE: 19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. (Revelation 19:19-21) MESSAGE:  The fate of the devil the beast, kingdoms of the earth and his armies who make war against the program of God for humanity has been determined. All their powers shall be removed and they shall be cast into hell.  Contemporarily, the beast has manifested using the false prophet whose major assignment is to do fake miracles that entice and deceive people. In nearly every ...

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL… DATE: Saturday, December 23rd, 2017. TEXT: Psalm 91 THEME: ANY SPIRITUAL AMBUSH AGAINST YOU SHALL BE DISMANTLED MEMORISE: 10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. 11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. (Psalm 118:10-12) The bible insists that those that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits. King David was one of the ancient greats who knew the God they served and therefore depended upon Him for victory over all his enemies. In the scriptures above, he kept on declaring that though enemies encompass round about him, the name of the Lord was enough to neutralize them. Little wonder, God gave him victory over all his enemies on every side. Total dependence on the power of God to delive...

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL… DATE: Friday, December 22nd, 2017. TEXT: Isaiah 26:11, Acts 13:45 THEME: THOSE ENVIOUS FOR YOUR PROGRESS ARE DOOMED MEMORISE: For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. (Matthew 27:18) MESSAGE:   Envy is the feeling of having what someone else has. Therefore, when a person develops this feeling, it can elicit jealousy. That was the case of the Jews. Envy caused them to choose the death of Jesus Christ a righteous man over an armed robber.  They were so filled with envy of what Jesus had accomplished to the extent that they were ready to condemn Him no matter what. In the same way, the devil is usually envious of what God is doing in the lives of His people. This makes him to always try to attack them in order to rid them of the blessings of God upon them. In the case of our Lord Jesus Christ, God knew that it was for envy that the Jews condemned Him. So, He delivered Him from the dead. Those that have writte...

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL… DATE: Thursday, December 21st, 2017. TEXT: Isaiah 7:7, THEME: GOD WILL GRANT YOUR PETITION MEMORISE: For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him. (1 Samuel 1:27) MESSAGE:   Hannah had been barren for several years before the encounter that led to the birth of her son Samuel. When the child eventually came, she was bold enough to declare that the Lord had given her what she asked of Him. This means that God has the power to give us whatever we ask of Him. Remember, Hannah had visited Shiloh each year; yet, her petition never received any answers.  Along the line, she changed her strategy and made a vow. Hannah was a born-again child of God. Don't forget: while Peninnah and her children made mockery of her and provoked her sore, she did not retaliate or go into a fight with them.  She only saw such situation as an affront to her faith and she took the matter to God thro...

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL… DATE: Wednesday, December 20th, 2017. TEXT: Isaiah 7:7 THEME: YOUR CHANGE IS AROUND THE CORNER MEMORISE: If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. (Job 14:14) There are many people who give up before the arrival of their testimonies or miracles. While waiting, they are pressured by the worries of life which compel them to become discouraged and throw in the towel. But that was not the case with Job.  As a man, he had undergone so much trouble in his life. His wife was not seeing any end to his travails and suggested to him that the best option was to curse God and die. He accused his wife of talking like foolish women.  He declared that he would rather wait all the days his problems were designed to last; until he would see a change. The change did actually come and he received more blessings and miracles than he had before his travails. There is no sit...

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL… DATE: Tuesday, December 19th, 2017. TEXT: Isaiah 7:7 THEME: YOU SHALL BE LIFTED ABOVE THE NATURAL ORDER MEMORISE: But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. (1 Peter 2:9-10) MESSAGE:  Many believers are not blessed because they hardly understand the stuff they are made of. This hinders them from aspiring to get to the top. They have instead bought into the natural order of things whereby they follow the natural path of struggles, failures and shame hoping to arrive at lofty heights later on in life. The truth is that life is not by struggle, but by the grace of God.  Those that are chosen of God possess spiritual qualities which exempt the...

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL… DATE: Monday, December 18th, 2017. TEXT: 1 Kings 13:1-10 THEME: EVERY CONTRARY ALTAR MUST BE RAZED DOWN MEMORISE: The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD. (1 Kings 13:5) MESSAGE:   An altar is a table, platform, or elevated place on which a priest placed a sacrifice as an offering to God. The nature of altars changed considerably between the Old Testament times to New Testament days. In addition to describing altars dedicated to God, pagan altars also began to spring up. Even contemporarily, many altars have been established to promote devilish works. Nevertheless, a spiritual altar can be rent to pieces by the declaration of a true servant of God as in the scripture above. The servant of God in the scripture quoted above had commanded the altar in Bethel to be rent into pieces and so it was.  Being rent i...

MESSAGE FROM THE PULPIT DATE: SUNDAY 17TH DECEMBER, 2017. TEXT: Isaiah 40:1 - 5, Matthew 3:1 - 3, Amos 4:12 TOPIC: IN READINESS FOR THE GREAT EVENT We all should know that from next week and over to new year, the Lord has programmed to bless us with our anniversary to changing of new garment. Then Mgbidi 2018 that the whole world will converge in Imo state. I want you to know, in the view of these wonderful programs, no one that should remain the same. This kind of program does not come everyday, it is once in a year, so we must search ourselves to make sure that nothing will hinder us from being blessed. we must make sure that those things are taken away before the program (Hebrew 12:14, Hosea 10:12) POINTS TO CONSIDER 1. The Reason And Areas Of Preparation We should realize that it’s never the will of God that any should perish, in this program, God want everyone to receive a divine touch(2 Peter 3:9, Psalm 23:1). As a result, let us prepare. Reme...

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL… DATE: Sunday, December 17th, 2017. TEXT: Psalm 22:11-21 THEME: THE LORD IS ALWAYS NEAR MEMORISE: But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me. (Psalm 22:19) MESSAGE:   The Lord is the source of strength of every believer to overcome difficult situations and obstacles. Without Him helping us, it will be impossible to overcome life's difficulties. That is why the Psalmist David who knows firsthand the role that God plays in helping and delivering His people, had to make recourse to God in the time of trouble. The Lord did not fail but rather lived up to expectations.  The Lord on His own part is ever ready to intervene on our behalf any time we call upon Him to do so as long as we do not engage in those things that separate us from His presence. Part of the problem that people pass through today is their willingness to readily rely on their physical capabilities. They nearly always set Go...

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL… DATE: Saturday, December 16th, 2017). TEXT: Isaiah 7:7 THEME: THE UNRELENTING ENEMY IN YOUR LIFE SHALL BE DISCOMFITTED MEMORISE: And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. (Exodus 17:13) MESSAGE:  The Amalekites were Israel's perennial enemies. Throughout the history of the Old Testament, the Amalekites were Israel's bitter rivals. The Amalekites attacked the Israelites, but Joshua later defeated them in a battle at Rephidim (Exodus 17:8-16). Because of their unrelenting attacks on the Israelites, Moses declared that God would continually wage war against them (Exodus 17:14-16). During the period of the judges, the Amalekites joined forces with the Ammonites and Eglon, king of Moab, to attack and capture Jericho, the city of palms (Judges 3:13). Along with the Midianites and the people of the East, they were defeated in the Valley of Jezreel by Gideon's army (Judges 6:3, 33; 7:12...

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL… DATE: Friday, December 15th, 2017. TEXT: Isaiah 49:25-26 THEME: YOUR ENEMIES WILL CRY OUT AND SOMERSAULT MEMORISE: And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. (Mark 9:26) MESSAGE:  The spirit in the life of the young man in the above bible place had occupied his body and refused to go. The family had taken him to places where they believed he could get help. But that was not to be.  Even when he brought him before the disciples, they could do nothing to help their situation. It was when the boy's father brought him to Jesus Christ that the demon saw Jesus, convulsed the young lad and somersaulted out of his life.  The disciples were amazed as they asked Jesus Christ why they could not cast it out. Jesus Christ first referred to them as men of little faith before revealing to them that such spirits needed fasting and prayer to be upst...

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL… DATE: Thursday, December 14th, 2017. TEXT: Deuteronomy 28:13 THEME: YOU SHALL BE PREFERRED ABOVE OTHERS MEMORISE: Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. (Daniel 6:3) MESSAGE:  The underlining word in the above scripture is PREFERRED; which means there were many other options, but Daniel was preferred above others. It is certain that those competing or being compared with Daniel had everything that he had. Maybe they all possessed the same level of intelligence, aura, charisma, comportment, commitment, etc. But somehow, Daniel remained the preferred option. Impliedly, there was something that Daniel had which others did not have. And what could that be?  He had an excellent spirit! The anointing power of God had conferred upon Daniel an excellent spirit which ultimately gave him an edge over the oth...
