THE DAILY ENCOURAGER - JUNE EDITION

Dear Beloved,
BE AN ENCOURAGER!!
A little encouragement will go a long way! it is time to get on the
encouragement band wagon. We are called to be a blessing to others,
whose life are you blessing with encouragement?
One of the battles that everyone faces at some time or another is the
battle of discouragement. Our dreams don't always happen on our
timetable. We go through disappointments and adversities. With so
much coming against us, it can be easy to loose enthusiasm and zeal for
life. It's good to have family and friends who encourage you. But one
thing I've learned is that other people cannot keep us encouraged. They
may give us a boost. They may help us from time to time. But if you're
really going to live in victory, that encouragement has to come from the
inside.
You've got to learn to encourage yourself. In the Bible, that's what David
had to do. At one point, he had suffered a major setback. It was one of the
most dif cult times of his life. His city had been destroyed, his family
was kidnaped, and nally his own men turned against him. It looked like
an impossible situation. David could have easily just given up and faded
off into the sunset, defeated and depressed. What a horrible day in the
life of this anointed man of God. But the scripture says in I Samuel 3:6,
"David encouraged himself in the Lord his God." See, David wasn't
depending on his family, his friends, or his colleagues to get him
through. He knew how to draw strength and encouragement from
within.
I encourage you to set aside time to really absorb this months issue of
THE DAILY ENCOURAGER every day. Each day will inspire you to walk
in the victory Christ has given you through His word and help you to live
and enjoy life in Him as you build your life upon the Rock. May we like
David learn how to see the light in dark days. Amen!!

Today's Scripture
“See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me”
Isaiah 49:16
THE UNFORGETTABLE LOVE OF GOD!
God has tattoos of us on the palms of His hands so that He can see them
o en. It is not like when people get tattoos on their arms or places
where they can't see them. God wants to see these tattoos everyday. He
likes to look at reminders of us just like we may like to look at pictures of
our loved ones.
I have engraved you." It does not say, "your name." The name is there,
but that is not all: I have engraved "YOU." Consider the depth of this! "I
have engraved your person, your image, your circumstances, your sins,
your temptations, your weaknesses, your wants, your works; I have
engraved you, everything about you, all that concerns you; I have put all
of this together here."
You know why He has engraved you on His palms? Because He wants to
see you everyday, every moment of your life, and because you are
precious. Imagine, the creator of this world, has you on His palms. It s
amazing how God sees something totally different when He gazes at
YOU. I am not quite sure you realize just how crazy God is about you.
Only someone who is madly in love with you would take the trouble to
tattoo YOUR IMAGE on the palms of his hands!
Stop doubting and believe!
Prayer
For The Day

Today's Scripture
“I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”
Philippians 4:13
YOU CAN MAKE IT!
I ve learned that the rst step to success is believing you can make it.
And you also must believe that God wants you to succeed. Philippians
4:13 must be indelibly stamped in your spirit: I can do everything
through Christ, who gives me strength
When you nd yourself in a crisis and people are saying you can t do
anything, respond with this verse. You can come through any
circumstance, walk through any valley, and go through any trial the
devil sends your way. It doesn t matter what your circumstances look
like. God promises you in Psalm 34:17 & 19 that He will deliver you out of
all your trials. When you believe what He has said about you, then you
can do anything you set your heart to. He is for you and your success.
What is it that Paul can do through Christ? He can be content no matter
what the situation , whether he has plenty or he has nothing, whether
he comes in rst place with a gold medal or he comes in last place.
whether he people approve him or not. Whatever the circumstance,
whatever he may have or not have, Paul learned to be content, to be
joyful. Why? Because I can do all things through Christ who strengthens
me!
May today s scripture serve as an encouragement to you, not to achieve
great victories in life, but to nd joy even in the midst of defeat.
Prayer
For The Day
Father, I choose to bless
You at all times. I declare
that You are faithful! I li
my eyes to You because
You are the source of my
help, strength and joy
forevermore. Thank You
for leading and guiding
me for Your glory in Jesus
name. Amen.

Today's Scripture
“..weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning”.
Psalm 30:5
PRAY UNTIL YOUR MORNING COMES!
There s nothing permanent about what you are facing today. That problem
will last for only a night, for only a season. In our journey of life, we go through
different seasons. Everyone at some point goes through a night season and a
morning season. The night season is a period of weeping. But you must be
ready to pray until you see your morning season.
One of the most encouraging passages in the Bible is Psalm 30:5. For his
anger lasts only a moment, but his favour lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay
for a night but joy comes in the morning . No matter how long a problem
may have gone on for, no matter how dif cult and challenging the problem
may appear to be, one thing is certain from this verse: PROBLEMS DON T
LAST FOREVER. Whatever you are going through today is a temporary
situation. There s nothing permanent about what you are facing today. That
problem will last for only a night, for only a season.
Mark 10:46-52 tells us of a man called Blind Bartimeaus. He was a beggar and
he was also blind. The day he cried out to Jesus to have mercy on him so many
people gathered around him and rebuked him. Blind Bartimeaus was close to
his long awaited change, God was about to put a new song in his mouth, his
morning of joy was about to dawn. To keep him tied to the same spot, the
enemy got people to rebuke him and tell him to be quiet. But this man refused
to give up just before his breakthrough. The more he was hushed down, the
more he shouted out to Jesus to have mercy on him. Blind Bartimeaus didn t
stop crying out until he saw his morning of joy.
When the enemy sees you are at the verge of something big, a breakthrough is
coming your way, he tries to discourage you in the place of prayer so you don t
pray and prevail. Don t fall for his trick, don t give up when you are so close to a
breakthrough, rise up and pray. Pray until your morning of joy comes.
Prayer
For The Day
Heavenly Father, thank
You for joy. Thank You for
peace. Thank You for
walking me through the
dif cult times. I choose
today to answer the door
f o r j o y e v e r y s i n g l e

in the strength You have
given to me. In Jesus'

Today's Scripture
“On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, "Let us cross over to the
other side. Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He
was. And other little boats were also with Him..”
Mark 4:35–36
WHAT'S IN YOUR BOAT?
"Life is a journey, so enjoy the ride." Have you ever heard that saying before? I
think it holds a lot of truth. God has a journey that He wants each of us to go on.
He has a plan and a purpose that He expects us to ful ll. He didn't put us on this
earth just to sit around, eat Cheerios, and do nothing. But the deal is, we've got
to stop worrying about the storms that arise on our journey and start enjoying
the ride. We should not make the storms our storms.
When Jesus spoke the words, "Let us cross over to the other side," I believe that
both He and His disciples expected to go to the other side. Jesus went to the
back of the boat and fell asleep. He wasn't worried, because He knew what He
had spoken. Even when water began lling the boat, Jesus didn't wake up. He
knew they were going to the other side, no matter what.
Unfortunately, I think the disciples expected to go to the other side without
any opposition. So when the storm arose, they became fearful. A lot of we
Christians are the same way. When something unexpected comes up, we
begin to worry about the situation more than we think about Jesus. We can't
focus on Jesus when we're thinking about the waves and the storms around us.
And that's what the devil wants.
Whatever kind of storm you're facing, Jesus is still in your boat. All you've got
to do is quit paddling, quit worrying and looking at the obstacles. Instead, look
to Him. Lean on Him. He'll never let you down. He'll never stop helping you,
no matter how many storms arise. It's time for you to sit back and enjoy the
ride!
Prayer
For The Day
Father God, thank you for
guiding me through the
journey of my life. Thank
you that you have always
been with me in the boat

calmed down the storms
of life for me. Teach me to
constantly trust in you and
have faith that you are
able. Take my hand each
day and direct my path. In

Today's Scripture
“For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword,
cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost
thoughts and desires.”
Hebrews 4:12
LIVING BY THE SPOKEN WORD!
We sometimes forget that Jesus lived as a man. He had emotions; He had
desires. The Word of God says that He endured everything every
temptation that man would ever endure. And He overcame!
How did Jesus overcome? By quoting the Word of God. He told the devil, "It is
written . . ." Has the enemy been attacking you? Perhaps you've been going
through some things. You need to understand that your answer lies in the
spoken Word of God.
There is not a situation, problem, trial, or dif culty that can come along that
the Word of God spoken out of your mouth will not take care of. Hebrews 4:12
says, "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged
sword"
So many times when we face dif culties and problems, we immediately speak
what we see in the natural rather than speaking what the Word says. We need
to be so full of the Word of God that when trouble pokes us or life puts the
squeeze on us, we immediately say, "No weapon formed against me will
prosper. I'm healed; I'm whole. All of my needs are met!"
You see, the Word of God in you and spoken out of your mouth will set the
power of God loose around you. It will bring you healing and deliverance. It
will bring you a full supply and protect you in time of danger. It will revitalize,
empower, and strengthen you!
I worry about what you're facing in this YEAR or this month of JUNE, or what
dilemma you're in. If you'll learn to live by the spoken Word of God and keep
speaking it, things will change!
Prayer
For The Day
Father, today I submit my
mind, will and emotions
to You. I choose to align
myself with Your Word.
Thank You for
lling me
with Your Holy Spirit and
empowering me to live the
life of victory You have in
store for me in Jesus
name. Amen.

Today's Scripture
“Have faith in God, Jesus answered. Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain,
'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what
they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for
in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”
Mark 11:22–24.
MOUNTAIN MOVING FAITH !
IT REALLY MATTERS how we use our faith. It also matters who we're placing
our faith in. Sometimes we're not putting our faith in the right person.
Therefore, we're not seeing answers to our prayers. But that doesn't have to be
the case. God wants to move the mountains in our lives.
We can speak to our mountains and they have to move. But sometimes I think
we're missing something important in these verses. I want to examine them
from a different angle so we can identify whom we're placing our faith in and
see mountains move in our lives. Jesus told His disciples, "Have faith in God."
Notice that Jesus didn't say, "Have faith in Me." Sometimes we're placing our
faith in our pastor, another minister, or ourselves. But Jesus wants us to place
our trust in God, because God is always able and willing to do something.
The disciples saw God's Word work through Jesus. They saw Him speak to a g
tree, and the g tree died. The next day, when the disciples saw that the g tree
had withered away, they asked Jesus what He did. Jesus said, "I just did what
you can do. I spoke to it and commanded it to dry up." The g tree changed as a
result of Jesus' words. Jesus had faith in God, and He spoke con dently to that
tree. The disciples didn't see anything different right away. But things began to
change, and they saw the results the next morning. We can trust God that
whenever we speak in line with His Word, and we believe that what we say will
happen, mountains will move.
Begin to speak things that you want in your life, not things that you already
have. Decide what kind of life you want to live and speak those things into
existence. When we speak to our mountains, we're telling God, "This is what I
need You to take care of." And He will take care of it for us, no matter how big it
looks.
Prayer
For The Day
Father, thank You for giving
me a measure of faith.
Thank You for the gi of Your
Word which is a light to my
path and helps me grow in
You. I choose to set my heart
and mind on Your Word and
listen as You speak Your
truth to my heart in Jesus
name. Amen!

Today's Scripture
“Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger,
and in this he brought glory to God. He was fully convinced that God is able to do
whatever he promises. And because of Abraham’s faith, God counted him as righteous...”
Romans 4:20-21
FOCUS ON THE PROMISE NOT THE PROBLEM
When you stay focused on your promise, not your problem, you can be happy
even when life seems to be falling apart. Stop focusing on the problems and
start focusing on the promise.
Abraham made this decision; I m not going to use my energy to worry. I m not
going to go around thinking about how it s not going to work out. I ve got a
promise from God. I can hear him all through the day saying, God, You
promised that I m going to have a child, that I will be the father of many
nations, that my descendents would be as numerous as the stars in the sky.
God, it looks impossible to me, but I know You can do the impossible. he kept
focusing on the promise, reminding God what He said. that promise became
bigger and bigger in his mind. he became fully persuaded, where doubt, fear,
negativity, didn t have a chance. Faith rose up and sure enough, against all
odds, when they were nearly 100 years old, they had that baby. If you re going
to see your dreams come to pass, those promises ful lled, there will be times,
like with Abraham, you have to consider not your negative circumstances.
God does not look upon problems as we do. Where we see stress He sees
opportunities. Where we see crisis, He sees growth and betterment. God's
purpose in times of crisis and trouble is to teach His children precious lessons.
They are intended to educate, and build us up. And when we learn from them
and ride out these storms of life, we will see the great promise ful lled. His
glorious recompense will come to us throughout eternity. We need to see the
joy and opportunities through times of problems. Because we will learn that
there is a sweet and wonderful joy we can have here too.
If you ll learn to focus on the promises and not the problems, you will defeat
your giants, accomplish your dreams, and what God promised you He will
bring to pass. You will become everything He s created you to be, and you will
have everything He intends for you to have.
Prayer
For The Day
Heavenly Father, today I
choose to bless Your
name. I thank You for life.
I thank You for breath. I
thank You for provision,
healing, strength and joy.
Today I choose to focus on
your promise instead of
my problems. Help me to
walk in your word and
y o u r a s s u r a n c e o f
salvation for my life. I will
continue to call on your
name and trust that you
will always hear me and
answert me. In Jesus
Name. Amen.

Today's Scripture
“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner
sanctuary behind the curtain..”
Hebrews 6:19
WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD?
God is able to work it all out! He will get you through your storm and
land you safely beyond it! It may look like the boat is going to sink. It
may look like the storms of life are going to prevail. However, when the
waves have all settled down, when the winds have ceased their blowing,
when the rains have abated, when the storm clouds have moved off to
the horizon; you will see that God was in control all along! I can promise
you this, no storm in this life will be able to blow you off the course God
has determined for your life! He will secure you during the storm and
He will successfully deliver you to the safe harbor of His glory!
Have you set your anchors deep in the Lord? If you have, then you can
weather life's storms. If you haven't, be prepared to be blown about by
the winds of adversity. I would encourage you to go before the Lord and
say something like this, "Lord, I cannot x my situation. I cannot calm
the raging seas of my life and I cannot still the winds that blow against
me. I need help today. By faith, I cast the anchors of your presence, you
promises, your providence and your performance into my stormy sea. I
am resolved to trust you to walk onto my storm and speak peace when it
is your will to do so. Until then, I will not fear, I will not fret, and I will not
ght. I will trust you to do what is best for me."
When you throw in the towel and come to a place of total trust before
the Lord in your storm, it gets His attention and you can be sure that He
will do something about your situation!
Prayer
For The Day
Heavenly father that you
f o r l o v i n g m e
unconditionally. Thank
you for giving me the grace
to always hope in you and
not the world. Grant me the
strength to be able to stand

You are my anchor and in
the eye of the storms your
faith will always surround
me. In Jesus mighty name.

Today's Scripture
“A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the
Pharisee's house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. As she stood
behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped
them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.”
Luke 7:37-38
GRACE FILLED HEART OF GRATITUDE!
Thinking about someone who had a grateful heart, the woman with the
Alabaster jar comes to mind.
Someone once said that worship is the act of sacri cially giving to Jesus
something that is precious to us. What would that be for you? Your money?
Your time? Your job? For the woman , it was a container of perfume.
This woman recognized she was a sinner and she also recognized who Jesus
was, and she show her gratitude in the best and highest way possible as she
knelt at His feet, praising and serving Him by cleaning His feet with her tears
and anointing them with fragrant oil. It was her way of saying, I m sorry,
thank you, and I love you.
The womans service showed her love, because it was passionate. There was a
lot of affection in her act. Why did she kiss His feet? She didn t care how it
looked to others; she knew what it meant. She couldn t do anything else. Her
whole soul went out in love to Him.
Just as the alabaster box, you can't just be open before God, you must be
broken before God! May we behold this woman, and learn an invaluable
lesson from her very valuable gi to Jesus. Are you perfuming Jesus with your
praise?
Prayer

Today's Scripture
“ I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?”
Jeremiah 32:27
DON T GIVE UP... GOD IS ABLE
He cares about you, He s listening to you and He wants to take care of you
Sometimes when people go through something for a long time they tend to
lean to the idea that things will always be that way. They get used to being in
that situation. But, God is still on the throne and He hasn't given up on you and
don't you dare give up on Him. It doesn't matter how long you have a problem,
the power of God is still able to turn it around. He's still the God that it's nothing
to hard for Him, for with Him all things are possible.
There was a woman with an issue of blood for 12 years, but when she heard
about Jesus she knew the power of God could turn it around (Mark 5:25-34).
There was a woman with a spirit of in rmity for 18 years, but the power of God
was still able to turn it around (Luke 13:11-13). There was a man with a
condition for 38 years and when Jesus saw Him, He knew that he had been in
that condition for a long time. Did Jesus give up on helping him because he
was in that condition for so long? No, the power of God was still able to turn it
around (John 5:1-9).
God can turn that thing around that you've been dealing with for so long. He is
not only able, but He is also willing. God wants that problem turned around
andIt is God's desire to turn your situation around. And no matter how long it's
been if you don't give up on God, He will not give up on you.
Prayer

Today's Scripture
“I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you
apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations”
Jeremiah 1:5
DIVINELY ORCHESTRATED BY GOD
You are not an accident. Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life
is no uke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He
was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it.
God told Jeremiah He knew him before I formed you in your mother's womb.
Notice that God selected him and had an assignment for him before he ever
got there. God was saying in effect, Jeremiah, you didn't just start when your
mother gave birth to you. Before you were in her womb, you were with Me. In
other words, my past didn't start with my family; it started with my God. And I
didn't come from my mother. Of course I love and respect my mother, but I
didn't come from her; I came through her. I came from Almighty God. He gave
me life. He gave me breath.
God used our mothers to get us here, but ultimately, we came from God. That
means our assignment, our destiny, and purpose cannot be changed by who
we came through, because we came from Almighty God. He has the nal say.
There is nothing that happens to you that God can't turn around and use for
you. He already has a plan. He knows the end from the beginning.
No matter how you were raised. God has chosen you and appointed you to do
great things in this life. He has set you apart for a unique purpose. You can
have con dence today, knowing whose you are and that you're destined for
great things. In Gods eyes, there is no such thing as being illegitimate.
Remember, He knew you before you were ever born! Find con dence in His
love knowing that you are a person of destiny, and you are part of His mighty
plan!
Prayer
For The Day
Father, thank You for
choosing me before I was

Today's Scripture
“Though He slay me, yet will I hope in Him; I will surely defend my ways to His face.”
Job 13:15
LIFE S BROKEN WINDOW
There are some things in our lives that have to be torn down, before we can be
built back up on a solid more stable foundation. Some old things need to be
disposed before we can walk in a new place.
There's a si ing going on in your life right now, this process separates the
wheat from the tare, the good from the bad. But hold on to your faith, your
mess is progress! " Behold, satan hath desired to have you, that he may si
you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not " Luke 22:31-32
Are you able to trust God in messy places? Do you have the faith to sustain you
in the middle of a mess? When all hell is breaking loose, everything's failing,
glass is shattering, concrete is bursting, dust is ying, bricks knocked out of
place, when you're going through a crisis are you able to stand in the middle of
it all and say, LORD I Trust you! Hold on to your faith, Just Believe! No matter
what mess you're going through, God is able to bring you out! "Though he slay
me, yet will I trust in him.
God says "Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; do you not
perceive it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."
(Isaiah 43:19) There are messy moments on the road to Destiny, you cannot
have progress without mess. When you are in the process to progress, things
get a little messy on the way to getting there. But when you get through this
mess, progress is waiting on you. Don't let the mess fool you, don't let the
enemy distract you into thinking that the mess is all there is.
Real LIFE comes out of mishaps, messes, mayhem, sorrow and tragedy. God
uses people who were broken, battered, tattered and torn to heal other people.
So don't give up, don't be discouraged, God is making a message and a
testimony out of your mess!
Prayer

Today's Scripture
“You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favour to her; the
appointed time has come”
Psalms 102:13
MOVING UP HIGHTER!
Favour is an incredible blessing from the Lord. God's favour is one of the
greatest things you can have upon you. It is the supernatural touch of God
upon your life and work. Favour marks your life as special. It causes you and
your entire life to be li ed up above the ordinary and stand out: Every child of
God needs the favour of God upon his/her life. THE FAVOUR OF GOD TAKES A
BELIEVER TO PLACES WHERE MONEY AND QUALIFICATIONS CANNOT
TAKE HIM OR HER.
The favour of God will bring opportunities into your life which skill and hard
work cannot bring. If all we have, has only come through hard work and sweat;
then you are leading a very dif cult life. Some things must come minus hard
work and sweat. WHAT HARD WORK AND SWEAT CANNOT BRING INTO
YOUR LIFE, THE FAVOUR OF GOD WILL BRING INTO YOUR LIFE!
When it s your time to be favoured, God organizes situation to make it happen
regardless of how impossible they might have seemed. In Esther 6, when it
was Mordecai s set time for favour, guess what God make happen? He made
King Ahasuerus sleepless until he favoured Mordecai! In Luke 1:30: And the
angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. Mary
was favoured to be the chosen one to carry Jesus Christ in her womb. She is
part of the plan for Jesus to come into the world to accomplish Gods plan for
man. Today you and I are also in Gods plan to carry Jesus Christ in our hearts
and do His will. So aren t we favoured? Yes we are.
May the favour of the Lord our God rest upon you; establish the work of your
hands for you; yes, establish the work of your hands. God bless you and may
you enjoy the season of Gods favour.
Prayer
For The Day
Father God, thank You for
this day. Thank You for the
good plan You have for
me. I believe it is my time
of set favor; it s my time to

blessing You have in store
for me in Jesus name!

Today's Scripture
“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing
I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead...”
Philippians 3:13
MAKING PEACE WITH YOUR PAST
We all have a past; a past which we can neither escape nor change.
A past lled with memories so powerful that their recall o en brings
pain to the present. But it is very essential that as Christians we learn
how to make peace with our past.
Joseph had been wronged; not only by his brothers but by Potiphar's
wife, too. Most of us can sympathise with that, because somewhere in
our past others have wronged us, too. When that happens, like Joseph,
we are faced with how to respond. Joseph could have struck instead,
Joseph chose to forgive.
The key to Josephs success was that he choose to forgive and he
choose to Live in the Present. He choose to let go of yesterday so that he
could live his today. Forgiveness is certainly not the easiest thing to do,
but it is always the best. Forgiveness, while not the easiest, is always the
wisest of our options. Until you forgive, the pain of your past will
continue to be felt in your present.
For many of us our past is holding us back from living in the present.
May the Lord uphold us with His righteous right hand. May His Spirit
gives us the strength and power to move on, no matter the pain and the
failures of our past; so we can fully embrace and live in the present.
Amen... Shalom
Prayer
For The Day
Father in heaven, I choose
to forget the past today. I
don t want anything to
hold me back from the
good future You have
prepared for me. I choose
forgiveness and ask that
You help me, by Your
Spirit, to press forward in
every area of my life. In
Jesus Name. Amen.

Today's Scripture
“But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by
every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”
Matthew 4:4
FEED ON GOD S WORD DAILY
God has called us to be constantly fanning the spiritual ames inside us,
and it is up to us to train ourselves to make the Spiritual Disciplines part
of our routine, or lifestyle.
Jesus said that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that
proceeds from the mouth of God. If it is important to eat our meals
every day, how much more feeding on Gods Word? Jesus wants us to
know that we need Gods Word even more than our daily meals. He
made us, so He knows best what our bodies need daily.
So whatever you do, remember to get your daily feeding of Gods Word.
Read your Bible in the comfort of your home or in the of ce during your
lunch break. Play sermon CDs while driving to work or doing
household chores. If you prefer something more visual, watch DVDs on
the preaching of His Word. Choose whichever form you prefer and get
His Word into you!
Beloved, you cannot live when you stop breathing. In the same way, you
cannot live without the Word because it is the very breath of God which
gives you life and health! Man does not live on bread alone, and Gods
Word needs to be our Daily Bread. When we do, we can expect strength
and sustenance always.
Prayer
For The Day
Father, thank You for Your
Word which lights my
path and transforms my
life. I choose today to turn
my thoughts toward You. I
choose today to meditate
on Your Word and Your
promises so that I can be
empowered to live in the
victory You have prepared
for me in Jesus name.
Amen.

Today's Scripture
For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “YES” in Christ. And so
through Him the “AMEN” is spoken by us to the glory of God.
2 Corinthians 1:20
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
Many of Gods people miss out on their inheritance because they are waiting
for God to give them what is already theirs by inheritance. You can say: I
believe the bible is true, I believe every promise from cover to cover, but if you
do not know what those promises are and you do not personalize them and
stake your claim concerning them., you will never experience them.
Many times we are praying and asking for things that are already ours. The
devil oppresses many of Gods people and keeps them in Bondage, because
they do not know who they are in Christ.
The devils greatest fear is that we will discover who we are in Christ and what
belongs to us and that we will take possession of our inheritance.
The devil knows if the we ever nds out who we are and starts to ght, we will
win because he knows he is already defeated by the nished work of Jesus.
The truth is our inheritance came to us through Jesus death and He WILLED it
to us, and it s for right here right now. You don t need money when you get to
heaven; YOU NEED IT NOW!. You don t need healing when you get to heaven;
YOU NEED IT NOW)!. You don t need power over the devil when you get to
heaven ; YOU NEED IT NOW!.
Whatever God has promised you is yours legally, every dream, every prophetic
utterance, Now it s up to you to stand up in faith and in the power of the Holy
Spirit and say It s mine.
Prayer
For The Day
Father, thank You for Your
goodness and faithfulness
in my life. I believe that
You have a good plan to
pour out Your blessing

strength to obey Your
commands and honor You
all the days of my life in
Jesus name. Amen.

Today's Scripture
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the
LORD. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:8-9
LATE, YET ON TIME!
Gods ways and His sense of timing are not the same as ours. Many times
God does not seem to t our schedule. However, His ways and His time
are best.
Mary and Martha watched their brother, Lazarus, fall ill, his life force
deteriorate, and die. They had sent desperate messages to Jesus to come
and help but he did not. Four days a er Lazarus burial, Jesus appeared.
Can you feel the pain of the sisters when they saw Jesus? Out of
desperation, they cried, Lord, if you had been here, you could have
helped Lazarus. But you are too late! When Jesus asked that the
tombstone be rolled away, Martha protested, Lord, he s been in there
for four days! Again, God was late.
Abraham and Sarah thought that God had appeared too late, but
because God came, Isaac was born. Moses may have entertained
similar thoughts about Gods timing, but because he came the Israelites
were delivered from Egypt and we are le with the story of the Exodus,
the greatest tale of deliverance in human folklore.
When God came to Job, a tenfold restoration ensued. All the losses that
Job experienced were more than amply compensated.
Mary and Martha were certain that Jesus was too late. However, he
came and because he did, Lazarus was raised from the dead.
God is frequently late, but he is always on time. Therefore, wait on the
Lord and you shall nd strength.
Prayer
For The Day
Father, today I put my
faith and trust in You. I
declare that Your ways are
higher, Your thoughts are
better, and Your plan is

ideas and receive the
direction You have for me
in Jesus name. Amen.

Today's Scripture
“You have armed me with strength for the battle; you have subdued my enemies under
my feet”
2 Samuel 22:40
ARMED AND DANGEROUS
At the end of his life, David looked back on his life and saw that God had been
faithful every step of the way.
You may be in tough times, but God has equipped you and empowered you
with everything you need to be victorious. God knows what you're going
through. He knows the challenges you're going to face in the future. He doesn't
say, Get depressed or give up on your dreams." No, He says here, "Rise up in
faith, for I have armed you with strength for that battle." And deep down
inside, you've got to know, "This thing is not going to defeat me. It may look
dif cult, it may look impossible, but I'm never giving up. I know I've been
armed with strength for the battle, and I believe when it's all said and done, I'm
still going to be standing strong."
In the natural when things don't go our way, we would get down and
discouraged and drag through life defeated. But instead, you have that warrior
mentality. You put your shoulders back. You have a smile on your face. You're
doing the right thing even though the wrong thing is happening to you. When
you rise up in faith like that, it not only allows God to ght your battles for you,
but it totally confuses the enemy.
We all have things coming against us. You may be in a storm, but the key is,
don't let the storm get in you. Stay in peace, stay determined, stay aggressive.
You've been armed with strength for whatever you go through. If you see
yourself as being weak, defeated, and not able, that will keep you down. But
you can develop a new image on the inside and start to see yourself the way
God sees you: strong, determined, courageous, more than a conqueror. If you
see yourself that way, you'll rise to a new level. You have the power to live in
victory. You have the power to endure tough times.
When times get tough, you have to remind yourself, "I have the strength to
overcome. God's given me the power to endure."
Prayer
For The Day
Father, thank You for
doing a work in me. Thank
you for giving me the
spirit of boldness and
determination. Thank you
for infusing me with Your
I CAN DO spirit. I hold fast
to Your promises because
You are faithful. Thank
You for Your grace and
peace as I daily keep my
mind stayed on You in
Jesus name. Amen.

Today's Scripture
“Say to those with anxious heart, Take courage, fear not. Behold, your God will come
with vengeance; The recompense of God will come, But He will save you.”
Isaiah 35:4
FAITH DOESN T FEAR!
The force of faith Bible faith can change our circumstances. Study the lives
of great men and women of faith in the Bible. All of them were confronted
with problems that had to be overcome. But they faced their problems with a
strong belief in God and triumphed over every seemingly insurmountable
barrier.
You see, faith is not afraid to face problems, obstacles, and dif culties. It
doesn t draw back in fear. Faith presses on to God and wins the victory every
single time! Faith is not afraid to face the perplexities of life either. We ve
probably all heard people say in fear, Yes, but what if . . . ? But when we
are in faith, we can face every problem or trial con dently. Faith looks at
negative situations and declares, I am not afraid of the what ifs, because God
is bigger than any problem or circumstance! I serve a great big God Who can
overcome anything!
True faith in God does not waver in times of trouble. Remember Esther in the
Bible? The wicked Haman had devised a plot to kill all the Jews in the kingdom,
which included her. She faced not only the extinction of her race, but also the
loss of her own life. Yet in the midst of almost sure destruction, she stood fast,
trusting in God. She demonstrated her great faith in God by her actions. She
did all she could in the natural, but then she cast the care on God, saying, If I
perish, I perish (Esther 4:16). That was her commitment. And in the end, she
received her victory.
My dear friend, faith won t keep us from experiencing problems. But just like
Esther, we can do something about those problems. We do not have to fear! We
can put our trust in God and obey Him, and then watch as He brings us
through victoriously!
Prayer
For The Day
Dear Lord, thank you for
teaching me one more
time about the spirit of
True Faith in God. Thank
you for letting me know
that Faith shouldn t fear. I
ask that your word will
dwell richly in me so I will

time where problems

continue to put my trust in
you and obey you. In the

Today's Scripture
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Psalm 34:18
THE LORD IS NEAR
Everything in your life could be going along quite smoothly, when all of
a sudden your life is changed in an instant! It could be a phone call, an
email, text, or knock at the door that changes your life forever. Perhaps
a spouse announces they want a divorce, you receive a grim diagnoses,
a best friend betrays you, a loved one dies or a hundred other reasons.
No matter what devastating loss you are dealt, how you pick up the
pieces makes a huge difference in how you live the rest of your life.
Some become bitter, angry, while others sink in a deep depression, and
still others, walk around numb as if they are in a soundproof bubble, not
able to experience life only watch it pass them by. None of these
scenarios will give you the abundant life that God wants you to have.
Although it is heartbreaking to experience pain and loss please know
that God can heal your broken heart and give you His gi of joy!
The Bible says in Psalm 34:18, The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit. With Jesus, you can face each
day with renewed hope, knowing He loves you with an everlasting love.
When your life suddenly changes, don t allow the devil to separate you
from Jesus! Put your trust in God, knowing you are in His plan for He
will never leave you or forsake you, and He will give you strength and
courage to face each day, and be a shining light for Him!

Today's Scripture
When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of
difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not
be burned up; the flames will not consume you.
Isaiah 43:2
YOU CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THE FIRE!
As believers we are going to face trials and tribulations. We're going to
come under re. Why? Because Satan is the enemy of God. And he
wants to hinder anyone who's following the Lord's plan for his or her
life. That's why it's so important for us to know what to do when we're in
a spiritual battle.
First, we must remember that we already have the victory. We're not just
trying to overcome or make it through. 1 Corinthians 15:57 says,
"Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ." 2 Corinthians 2:14 says, "Thanks be to God, who always leads us
in triumphal procession in Christ." These verses tell us that God leads us
from place to place in one never-ending victory parade. Hallelujah! No
matter what re we're facing, our victory has already been won in
Christ.
Second, we must remember that God never leaves us nor forsakes us.
Isaiah 43:2 says, "When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.
When you go through rivers of dif culty, you will not drown. When you
walk through the re of oppression, you will not be burned up; the
ames will not consume you." In the middle of your biggest trial when
the re is burning the hottest never forget that God is with you. He will
bring you through unharmed if you'll put your faith in Him.
Don't be discouraged if you're in a spiritual ght right now. Dig into the
Word of God and build yourself up. Get a re burning on the inside that
will stop the re around you! You can make it through the re
unharmed!
Prayer
For The Day
Father, today I choose to
trust You and step out in

Today's Scripture
“And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the
Son..”
John 14:13
SPEAK THE NAME!
It is the name of God that we need to call on. All things are possible through
the name of Jesus. God hath highly exalted Him, and given Him the name
which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow.
There is power to overcome everything in the world through the name of
Jesus. There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we
must be saved.
You see, if we don't use the authority we have in Jesus' Name, we limit God's
power in our lives. And our Heavenly Father didn't send Jesus to die for us just
so we could strive and struggle? No!. Jesus said we could ask anything in His
Name and He would do it. He went on to say that the Father would give us
whatever we asked in His Name. Plus, He said that He wanted us to always be
lled with joy. That's why He gave us His Name to use in prayer!
It doesn't matter what you're facing today. The Name of Jesus is the most
powerful name in the universe! His Name is above all other names. It's above
sin, sickness, and poverty. It's above loneliness and anything else that would
try to hurt or hinder you or those you love. And when you use your authority
and speak that Name, according to God's Word the atmosphere around you
has to change! Don't wait. . . . Start speaking that wonderful Name right
now JESUS!
Prayer
For The Day
Dear Lord. I just want to
thank you for reminding me
one more time about the
power that your name
possesses. I submit myself
under your authority. Help
me to always speak your
wonderful name in Jesus

Today's Scripture
“Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ
Jesus”.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
THANKFUL THROUGH IT ALL
With all my heart I believe we have truly been blessed by God,
regardless of how we look at life as individuals. And of all those who
"give thanks to Him and praise His name" our name should be at the top
of the list! A lot of people are waiting for life to improve before they
change their attitude. But that's not the way it works. We change our
attitude and it will change everything else.
A lot of people don't read 1 Thessalonians 5:18 correctly. They think
we're supposed to give thanks for the circumstance. But it's actually
telling us to give thanks in the circumstance. Why? Because giving
thanks enables God to change our situation. It enables Him to bring us
out!
You see, complaining never makes a situation better. All it does is
amplify frustration, spread discontent, and invite the devil to cause
havoc in our lives. When we complain instead of giving thanks, it
actually lessens our ability to handle the situation. And it's also the rst
step toward passively accepting whatever life hands us. But
thanksgiving creates power in our lives. And it enables us to shine as
great witnesses for God in a dark world.
God is your maker, and you are created in His image. Therefore give
Him thanks for who you are. I encourage you to try THANKSGIVING.
As you give thanks in everything, you will see Gods hand move mightily
on your behalf, and you ll come out of that dif culty better, stronger
and wiser than before. Amen!
Prayer
For The Day
Father God, today I choose
to give You thanks in all

Today's Scripture
“But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message would
be fully proclaimed, and all the Gentiles would hear it. So I was delivered from the mouth
of the lion.”
2 Timothy 4:17
SNATCHING VICTORY FROM DEFEAT
Have you ever noticed in the Word of God that some of the greatest
victories came out of what looked like utter defeat? That's what God in
His almighty power can do!
Of all the people mentioned in the Word, the greatest man of faith of all
time Who snatched victory from defeat is Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Jesus was falsely accused and sentenced to death. He was alone and
forsaken, rejected of men. As He hung on the cross at Calvary, He
breathed His last and said, "It is nished!
When Jesus' body was taken down from that cross and put in a grave, it
was a dark day. All hope seemed lost. The kingdom He had preached
about establishing seemed impossible of ful llment.
But on the third day, God snatched supreme victory from ultimate
defeat! Jesus Christ arose and then ascended on High to sit and reign in
glory at the Father's right hand. There was no defeat for Jesus! And as
long as we remain in Him, there is no real defeat for us either.
Oh, sometimes it might look like defeat. It might even smell like defeat!
It might seem as if defeat is all around. You may be facing a situation
right now that's so dark, it seems as if the enemy has ganged up on you.
He may be trying to steal your joy and your triumph. But you don't have
to let him get away with your victory. If you'll abide in God's Word and
trust Him, He will take every test or trial that is in your life right now and
turn it around. You can snatch victory from defeat!
Prayer
For The Day
Father, thank You for
Your goodness. Thank You
for teaching me how to
s n a t c h v i c t o r y f r o m

it. Help me to see and

Today's Scripture
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God
prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
Ephesians 2:10
LET GOD MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR LIFE!
The life God has given you is an invaluable gi . Are you making the most
of it? Actually, nothing on earth is more important than making the
most of your life. In fact, the greatest challenge each one of us faces is
ful lling God's plan for us.
Your success or failure can be answered by this question: What are you
building your life on? A life that will stand up to God's glory can't be built
on fame, fortune, or pleasure because those things alone are empty and
shallow and will pass away.
Since we cannot build our lives on fame, pleasure, money, or power,
then what can we build them on? Our lives must be built on God and His
Word because God's Word will stand the test when everything else
passes away and fails. If we'll let the light of the Word shine on us, we
will become instruments of the power of God in our world.
What foundation you build your life on is up to you. If it's on the Rock,
the Lord Jesus Christ, then the light and love of God will shine upon you,
saturating you until it shines out of you to others.
You may think your life is unimportant or insigni cant. But God can
make something valuable of it, no matter what has happened to you in
the past. Commit your life to God. Don't just sit still and do nothing for
Him. Rise up in God and make an impact on your generation!

Today's Scripture
“Then the lord said to Elijah, "Go to the east and hide by Kerith Brook, near where it enters the
Jordan River”
1 Kings 17:2-3
A PLACE OF BLESSING
There was a place where God commanded Elijah's needs to be supplied.
God told him He had commanded the ravens to feed him there. But
here's what's important, it was up to Elijah to get to that place of
provision. He had to be obedient. He could have said, "God, I'm
comfortable where I am. I don't want to go down there." No, the
problem with that thinking is that the ravens would still have been
taking his provision down to the brook. In other words, God would have
been supplying his needs, but he would not be in the right place to
receive them.
Well, Elijah got down to the brook. He was obedient, and God blessed
him and met all of his needs. But one day, the brook dried up. The water
quit owing. The ravens quit coming. And so God told him, "Elijah, I
want you to go to the city of Zarephath, for I have commanded a widow
to take care of you." Notice once again, God had a speci c place where
He commanded Elijah's needs to be met.
The whole key was that Elijah had to keep following God's leading and to
get to that place of blessing. This tells me that sometimes a brook will
dry up. Sometimes a season in our life is going to be over and God's
going to push you into a new area, a new place of provision.
God will never mislead you. He will always lead you to the right place at
the right time for you to get connected to the right source of our
blessings. Just listen to Him and follow His direction.

“Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even
though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die
in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the LORD! I will be
joyful in the God of my salvation!”
Habakkuk 3:17-18
REJOICE NO MATTER WHAT
Our circumstances are constantly changing. As we are caught in these
changes, it can be easy to get in fear rather than faith. But it doesn't
matter how bad things get God is still God. He does not change. Even
when things get tough, He's still on the throne. And that's why we need
to rejoice in spite of what we're going through.
You see, we're not rejoicing for the trouble. We're rejoicing because we
know the trouble is temporary. We count on God's rule to prevail, not
what someone else has ruled and not what the devil has ruled. The
deliverance of God is eternal!
That means we can stand on the brink of what looks like disaster and
not be afraid. God is our strength. And as we stand rm on His Word,
His plan will come to pass no question about it. He will take care of us
and see us through. He will enable us to do what we need to do.
If you're facing a dif cult situation in your life right now, begin to
rejoice. God will strengthen you in the midst of the storm. He will li

spirit of fear but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Tim. 1:7).
And you will come out in victory on the other side!

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off
everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with

Hebrews 12:1-2
RUN YOUR RACE WITH JOY!
At one time or another, we've all dealt with baggage in our lives. It doesn't
matter who we are life isn't perfect. We experience disappointments,
failures, deceptions, and ugly situations. In the midst of these dif cult times,
whether we realize it or not, we start accumulating baggage.
Sometimes we don't see the baggage we're carrying because we've become so
accustomed to it. It's just a part of our lives. But that baggage keeps us from
ful lling God's plan for us. Baggage prevents us from having the joy of the Lord
in our hearts. It keeps us in bondage.
We've got to get rid of that baggage! Things are gearing up in the spirit realm,
and we have a race to run. We have assignments from God, and the only way
we're going to accomplish them is to kick the baggage out the door! In these
days we must lay aside every weight, anything that loads us down. In other
words, the baggage. What's keeping you from moving forward and from
running your race?
God's got grace for disappointments, comfort for hurts, love for fear, and
peace for worry. He's got reconciliation, restoration, high self-esteem,
patience, health, provision, and joy unspeakable!
It's time for us to get rid of that baggage for good and let God use us! I want you

We've got to accept and receive what He did! It's time for us to get rid of that

person avails much (see James 5:16), but if we aren't treating others with
honor, kindness, and respect, we aren't allowing God's righteousness to
operate in us. It closes the door to His power in our lives and hinders our
prayers. This is especially true in a marriage relationship. Marriage isn't just
an agreement between two people to live life together. Marriage is a Godordained
institution that helps us understand love and unity. When two
people are married, they become one physically, spiritually, and
emotionally.
This passage is directed to husbands but applies to all believers. We should
treat others "with understanding" which means considering others' needs
above our own. We have to study the people in our lives and make adjustments
in order to have peaceful, healthy relationships. We should always aim to treat
others with kindness, dignity, and respect and quickly choose forgiveness.
When we keep healthy connections in our relationships with others, we are
keeping healthy connections in our relationship with God. Honor others and
treat them with respect so that your prayers will be powerful and effective the
way God intends!
The Bible says that the way we treat others is the way we treat God. So choose
love and treat others with respect so that your prayers will not be hindered!

Today's Scripture
“Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need,
and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds
anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in
Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:6-7
ALWAYS APPRECIATE THE LORD
In Philippians 4:6-7 we nd one of the most dif cult verses in the entire Bible
to obey: Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God
what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will
experience God's peace
It s not easy to stop worrying about the o en-scary, everyday parts of our lives,
but God tells us how in the next part of the verse: Pray about everything
and thank him for all he has done. Grateful prayer brings peace. God says,
when you start to worry, pray.
Parents understand the power of grateful prayers. Most parents wouldn t
appreciate their children always making requests without saying thank you
for what they ve already received. God sees it the same way. He wants us to ask
him for what we need and want. More than 20 times in the New Testament,
we re told to ask him. But he wants us to ask with gratefulness.
Thanking God in advance is a big step of faith. When we have the faith to thank
God ahead of time, miracles happen. The more thankful we are, the more God
works in our lives. The Bible says that God inhabits the praise of his people. He
uses our thanksgiving as an instrument of power in our lives.
With God, there is no reason to worry. Without God, there is every reason in
the world to worry.
Prayer
For The Day
Father, thank You for Your
goodness and faithfulness
in my life. I choose to trust
you today and always and
will no longer lean on my
own understanding. I cast
all my worries on You.
Take away every spirit of
doubt and worry from my
heart. I choose to believe
that You have a good plan
and will bring me to a
ourishing
nish in the
mighty name of Jesus.
Amen!
