THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL... DATE: SATURDAY 31ST, DECEMBER 2016. TEXT: Psalm 89 THEME: IT’S ALL PRAISE, PRAISE, and PRAISE! MESSAGE:  “1 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. 2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. 4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord, when they hear the words of thy mouth.” (Psalm 138:1-4) What an extraordinary year in which everything happened – the good, bad and ugly. For those that believe in God through Jesus Christ, there is reason to smile and be happy. Those that do not know Him and who only define success by exotic cars, houses and loads of cash will complain and not see enough reason to praise God though He preserved them till this day. As believers, we shoul...

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL... DATE: FRIDAY 30TH, DECEMBER 2016. TEXT: Psalm 150, Psalm 36:5, Psalm 37:3 THEME: HIS FAITHFULNESS IS SO GREAT MESSAGE:  “22 It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23) Thank God that you are among those that He has preserved even till this day. One thing though is very certain: It is by His mercies – your life, children, wife, husband, money, sound health, good job/career, business and what have you. They are given to you by the Lord because His compassions are renewed every day in your life. He performs His faithfulness with amazing consistency. Remember, the same road you have traveled many times this year alone, some other people passed through it and ended up terribly bad. Some ended up in mortuaries, hospitals, diagnostic centres, police stations and even prison yards. While you lived in sound body,...

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL... DATE: THURSDAY 29TH DECEMBER 2016. TEXT: Exodus 23:25-26, Psalm 79:11 THEME: NO JUDGMENT OF DEATH AGAINST YOU SHALL STAND MESSAGE:  “8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it. 9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.” (Isaiah 25:8-9) The year is about to run out. Satanic calendars and evil time-tables are about being activated and ready to be implemented against innocent victims. Evil men and women, occult people, witches and wizards, temples, covens, and shrines have all set ultimatum for their different categories of victims. Some people that traveled home for Christmas have been penciled down to die before the year finally run...

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL... DATE: WEDNESDAY 28TH DECEMBER 2016. TEXT: 1 Samuel 1 THEME: THINGS MUST BE DONE DIFFERENTLY MESSAGE:   “47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.” (Mark 10:46-51) Have you prayed and prayed and fasted and yet, nothing seems to be happening in your life? Then, it is time for you to change strategy. Hannah was going to Shiloh every year, yet she could not bear a child until she changed her strategy. When she observed that all her prayer, supplication and fasting had yielded no results; she decided to make a vow. This strategy paid off. Her vow moved the hand of God and she conceived and the following year she carried her baby. What about you? Are you complaining of having developed ulcer as a result of much fasting? Then ...

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL... DATE: TUESDAY 27TH DECEMBER 2016. TEXT: Luke 18:1-5, 1st Thessalonians 5:17 THEME:LEARN TO PRAY WITHOUT CEASING MESSAGE:   “Pray without ceasing. 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 19 Quench not the Spirit.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17-19) It is often very funny to hear people say they have prayed and prayed and got no answers. These are people whose pattern of prayer never tallies with the standard of God. Instead of deep-hearted prayer laced with groaning and intercession, they indulge in selfish prayer that only dwells on what God should give them such as cars, houses, promotions and so on. Sometimes, the reason for asking God to bless them is that their enemies will be ashamed – not that the name of God will be glorified. They pray in ignorance and without faith. Sometimes, they pray for a few minutes in the morning or not all and claim that it is not the duration of prayer that...

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL... DATE: MONDAY 26TH DECEMBER 2016. TEXT: Psalm 126:5, Ecclesiastes 11:4 THEME: THERE CANNOT BE A BETTER TIME TO SOW MESSAGE:   “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” (Genesis 8:22) The yuletide period is usually a celebration of the birth of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ. During this period, people give out lots of gifts as a mark of love. Some visit orphanages, give clothing materials and money to widows and the needy in general. So, unarguably, there can be no better time to sow in the house of God than now. Of course, you can be sure of bountiful reward especially when you sow in a church like The Lord’s Chosen where the power of God is evident. So, you must choose to sow a worthy seed offering to appreciate God for keeping you alive all through the year; for providing for you; fighting all your battles and giving you victory over your en...

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL... DATE: SUNDAY 25TH DECEMBER 2016. TEXT: Hosea 4:6, Deuteronomy 28:1-13 THEME: THE DOMINION MANDATE HAS BEEN RELEASED MESSAGE:   “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” (Genesis 1:28) Many people appear ignorant of the fact that God has already pronounced blessing and dominion upon them. Instead of engaging in tasks that will provoke such blessing, they are busy praying, “God bless me, God bless me.” Get it straight: The dominion mandate to become whatever you set out to be has been released right from the beginning of time. Therefore, what you make of this dominion will to a great extent determine what your life will look like. If you understand the above scripture and apply it, it will help rid your heart of any fear of the un...
