Daily Devotional – 8/26/15 “I declare!”

I declare that whatever God’s will for my life shall be done today! Whatever it is! I am declaring His miracles and blessings to be released in the atmosphere and my name to be attached. I am declaring healing over my body. I am declaring increase in my finances. I am declaring protection over my family. I am declaring strength in the places I am weak. I am declaring that I will no longer be a prisoner to the you can’t, you won’t, you will not and don’ts. I am declaring that strongholds will be destroyed. I am declaring that whatever obstacles I face today, I shall be able to overcome. I am declaring that whatever purpose God has for my life, He sets my feet upon the path towards them. And I declare that I am greater than my grievance, calmer than my circumstance, stronger than my situation, worthier than my weakness and mightier than my misery. I declare that I shall be victorious!

Now, please understand … I wrote this saying I so that you can read this and make it personal. Declare on today what you need God to do. Declare what you need release from. Declare what you need peace from. Make a declaration of faith on today and so shall it be for the bible says in Mark 11:23-24, “I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart. I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.” What are you declaring? Do you believe it to be done? Don’t declare it unless you have the faith that it shall be first! For James 1:6 says, “But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.” I declare on today that what I’ve asked the Lord for shall be! What are you declaring?

Daily Devotional – 8/25/15 “Your monopoly board!”

I was talking to a coworker today. She is one I’ve never met but we talk through email because she sends me reports I need on a weekly basis. Well, this morning the email got personal (you never know what a person is dealing with). Yet at the end of our conversation she said something that went all over me. She said, she is treating her new assignment at work like Monopoly and she wants all the buildings. Now, of course I see God working because I’m thinking, here this woman is, someone I don’t know personally but she’s struggling in her personal and work life yet she is looking at the situation from a different perspective. Not from the perspective of buying up all the properties and leaving folk bankrupt but she was speaking in regards to learning what she can and then using the knowledge to push her into something greater. Yea, she’s dealing with sickness in her body and then taking care of a sick parent yet she doesn’t miss work because she’s trying to buy all the buildings.

Here I am thinking … As Saints of God, what are we doing? As we are walking along the monopoly board called life, taking the chance of getting caught up in the traps that are being set by the enemy, rolling the dice and landing on other folk’s property, ending up in jail, crossing obstacles that knock us down (railroad tracks), being uninvolved in the community chest of our city’s suffering so we act like we don’t care about the unrest, consistently passing GO so it’s like we’re wandering lost; what are we reaching for? What are we doing with the assignment that God has given us? Are we going to just sit back and allow the enemy to buy up all the property and then we pay him every time we land on it? Are we going to continually wander lost without trying to figure out what our purpose is? What are we doing? Are we taking a chance? The bible tells us in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” But we have to first put our present in the Lord. He won’t steer you wrong. Step up your faith game!

Daily Devotional -8/24/15 “Social media status!”

Why do I have to type amen on a social media site to be blessed? Why do I have to share a picture of money in order for God to send me a financial blessing? Why do I have to type yes under a picture of TD Jakes in order to understand that whatever I asked God for, He’ll do it? Why are we, as Saints of God, getting so wrapped up in the disguise of that crap? Baby, God isn’t monitoring Facebook to know if you typed amen yet He’ll hear you if you come to Him in prayer. Chile, God isn’t concerned about the many of times a picture has been forwarded but He is concerned with the souls you’ve invited to worship. God isn’t counting the likes on your post but He is counting the times you’ve helped folk. Stop getting wrapped up in these posts that promise you a quick blessing from God if you type amen, yes, I’m blessed and all that. Or those that say, “If you believe in God, type amen.” Who are you trying to prove it too? Who’s keeping roll?

Your status on social media shouldn’t prove if you’re a Saint of God, your living should. Your comment on a post shouldn’t have to verify the validity of your anointing; it should show when you open your mouth. The evidence of whose you are should be witnessed by your walk and the content of your character. And if there has to be a question when someone looks at your page, typing amen on a post won’t make a bit of difference. This is why, everything you do; you should do it in a way to please the Lord. Stop trying to please man or woman when it’s only for a moment anyway. This is why social media shouldn’t determine your spiritual status, your spirit should. Live your life; physically to please God at all times! And then on social media, use it in a way that if God had a Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat or whatever else; He’d want to request to be your friend after viewing your page.

Daily Devotional – 8/21/15 “This accessory may not be supported!”

Have you ever purchased a cheap charger only to plug it in to get the error message, “this accessory may not be supported?” Welp, I can imagine our spirit saying the same thing when we plug some of the stuff into us that we know good and well, don’t belong. Yea, I can just hear our spirits screaming, “accessory not supported,” every time we hook up to somebody we ain’t got any business intertwining our spirit with. I can just bet our spirit is hollering, “hold up; this accessory isn’t supported,” every time we try to make stuff fit into us that we know doesn’t mesh well with our innermost parts. That’s like eating something you know isn’t going to agree with your stomach. Yea, it may feel good going in but it sure doesn’t coming out. Oh, I can imagine God saying, “that accessory doesn’t fit,” when we try to make worldly stuff fit into His word to appease folk. Baby, the word doesn’t change and we shouldn’t change it because folk’s feelings get hurt. The bible says in 2 Timothy 3:16, “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.” If it offends you; say ouch, repent and do better.

Understand this, not everybody or everything is fit for you. Why do you think clothes and shoes come in different colors and sizes? Why do you think there is different variety of stuff to choose from? You have to know who or what is compatible to your spirit before you go allowing them or it to be plugged in. Don’t you know plugging anything into you can cause damage? Yea, you might short-circuit and then you’ll be walking around with a dim light. Or you might go dead completely and then you’ll be walking around here wandering without knowing who or whose you are. Beloved, if you don’t get anything else; get is this, not everything is going to fit in your spiritual life and as a Saint of God you should be okay with that. Be okay with declining that party invitation, be fine with not hanging out with them and be alright with not going there. This is your life and only you will be giving an account at judgment. Be careful who you allow to plug into your spirit because their accessory may not be supported!
