SPRINGBOARD DAILY DEVOTIONAL


APRIL 4
“… God… calleth those things which be not as though they were”
(Romans 4:17)

Theodore Harold White , an American Political journalist and historian once said, “For those men who, sooner or later are lucky enough to break away from the pack, the most intoxicating moment comes when they cease being bodies in other men’s command and find that they control their own time, when they learn their own voice and authority”. It therefore means that if I want to make meaningful progress in life, I must consciously choose my words.
Just as great architects take raw materials to build great edifies and timeless monuments, your words are like raw materials that can form the life you’re meant to live. Words carry great power and scripture is replete with principles that support the power of the tongue.
To me, one of the greatest privileges we have as God’s children is that of reaching out into the realm of God and calling those things which be not as though they were. We should also establish that this practice can work against us if we are calling for things that are not God’s will but the enemy’s. That is why I am always very uncomfortable sitting around those who seem to be addicted to calling for disaster.
For example, a person hears some rumour that the company he works for is going to lay off some employees, so he says, “I’ll  probably lost my job”. That’s the story of my life, every time things starts getting well, a disaster must happen. By their fear they’re speaking words that will eventually shape their lives negatively in the future.
Peter tells us we belong to “a royal priesthood” (I Peter 2:9). The word royal speaks of our kingly attributes as believers. A king does not beg or cry for anything, he declares something and that thing is established. A king has the legal power to decree, which is an old English word for “legislate”. He institutes, he confirms, he settles, he summons, he authorizes-that’s what kings does.
Refuse to allow situations overwhelm you; be a word talker. When you have issues to deal with, use words to effect a change; keep talking the word until you prevail against every adversity! Use the word against evil intentions against your life. The word of faith in your mouth is your weapon of victory against the enemy.

1 John 5:4; Proverbs 18:21

PRAYER: 
Dear Father, I thank you because my words are anointed hence, I walk in victory daily in Jesus name – Amen.

 WE PASSIONATELY CARE ABOUT YOU
     We believe there is a void in every person that only a  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...
