GOD IS THE MASTER STRATEGIST
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways declares the lord” (Isaiah 55:8 NIV).
God is the master strategist; His ways are past finding according to Romans 11:33. Every act of God is His strategy to accomplish His eternal purpose and mostly seen by men as foolishness. “Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men: and the weakness of God is stronger than men. (1 Cor. 1:25).
   Moses was raised as Egyptian inside Pharaoh’s palace. Though he had a Hebrew heritage which he knew, Moses must have displayed a lot of Egyptian qualities to be addressed as one by the Midianites in Jethro’s house. Maybe he had an Egyptian accent, his dressing or his mannerism presented him thus, yet he was given a job that was an abomination to the Egyptian, and he took to the shepherd’s profession “For every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptian. (Genesis 46:34).
   God needed to break him, humble him to fit into his eternal plan for him (to bring God people out of Egypt. Ex. 3:7-10). He was on this job for forty years until he perfected the art of shepherding. Every step God took in Moses’ life was an investment, a preparation for the assignment. All was a strategy to get God’s people out of Egypt.
   Pause a while, remember that Moses misused his strength, displayed immaturity full of anger – this didn’t change God’s plan because all were God’s strategy. It may not look like you are making progress spiritually, don’t be discouraged as there is much to learn at every level. God’s investment will not be wasted, don’t compare yourself with other people, God is the one detecting the pace of your progress; He is the master strategist. Your purpose? Sure you will fulfill it. Be patient and keep learning.          
Prayer
My father, thank you for the assurance I receive today. My destiny is in your hand & nothing can stop me. In Jesus name – Amen.
WE PASSIONATELY CARE ABOUT YOU
We believe there is a void in every person that only a relationship with God can fill. We’re not referring to finding religion or joining a particular church we are referring to having a relationship with your heavenly father through his son Jesus Christ. We believe that knowing him is the source of true peace and fulfillment in life we encourage you to pray thus: Jesus, I believe you died for me and rose from the dead I hereby confess you as my lord and savior. I receive the life of God into my spirit and now am born again.
Thank you lord jesus for the new life I have now in you. In Jesus name – amen.

                                                  January 29. “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11) The life that we’ve been called to live in Christ is the transcendent life. It is a life that’s far removed from failure and defeat. It is a life in the word of God. To manifest the glory and splendor of this life, the word of God should become an integral part of us; what we live by. At salvation, we became associates of the God-kind; we’re joint heirs with Christ. Why then should any Christian suffer defeat and pain? The problem is that we’ve not given the word of God its proper place in our lives. God gave us His word to live by. His word is the revelation of His will, nature and character an...

February 18. “The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available (dynamic in its working)” (James 5:16 Amp) The happenings in our environments and the world over calls for our importunity in prayer. Out of ignorance a lot of people are blaming God for certain occurrences in their lives. But if things must change in the direction of God’s original plans and purposes, then we must keep praying. God knows that there’s no situation a child of His cannot change because the divine power necessary to effect such change is already resident in you; it was deposited in you the moment you became born again. God doesn’t expect you to cry out for help or start complaining but He expects you to enforce your victory in the place of prayer. I Kings 17 tells us of Elijah’s  confrontation with Ahab the king where he said, “… As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my ...

                                                  January 19. “And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great” (Genesis 26:13) Child of God, your journey this year has been ordained only in one direction – upward and forward. This is exactly the way God has called you to live your life. He wants your life to be that of progressand advancement – not in theory but practically. It means that at the end of this year, success will be evidently seen in every area of your life. This is because as a joint heir with Christ, you have the nature to be absolutely successful. You must therefore make up your mind to develop a consciousness – a mentality that’s consistent with your personality in Christ. Bible says, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7). So, you must refuse thoughts of failure occupy your heart bec...
