🍲 *SHABACH YESHUA ENDLESS GOODNESS DAILY DEVOTIONAL* *Saturday 22nd April 2023* ____ *TOPIC:* *ANCIENT OF DAYS*

🔑 *KEY VERSE:* 

"The Ancient of Days took His seat..." (Daniel 7:9, NASB).

*TODAY'S TEXT* 

Daniel 7:9-10

*MESSAGE*

God had given Daniel a dream about future events. It would be a time filled with turmoil, strife, and warfare. But then Daniel saw God in His glory, sitting on a throne, described as "the Ancient of Days." This title and picture put everything in perspective.

The title, "Ancient of Days," reminds us that God is beyond time. He never is worried or caught up in the world's troubles. He never panics or makes rash decisions. He is the Perfect Judge, always pure and holy, always objective. And He always brings an eternal

perspective to everything He does.

Daniel saw His throne "ablaze with flames" and "a river of fire was flowing and coming out from before Him." This was a place of absolute purity where sin cannot be tolerated. And the throne was surrounded by throngs of people. As they stood before Him, "the books were opened." These books were the history of what these men and women had done with their lives. Not just some things, but

everything.

Today, think about this picture of God. He sits triumphantly on the throne. He is to be worshipped and praised! He is the Ancient of Days. Completely objective. Beyond time. Holy. And He knows everything you have said and done. Humble yourself and seek Him. Ask Him to burn away any sin in your life. 

Commit yourself without reservation to serve Him. Don't hold back. Fill your life with His Word. Surrender to His Spirit.

 

🎚 *CONTROLLING THOUGHTS* 

 Believe Him to use you as a vessel for His Miracle-working power. And reach out to others so that they might be ready when the books on their lives are opened.

🙏🏿 *PRAYER* 

 Abba Father, I humble myself before You. Purify me. Break me and remind me of the image of your Son Yeshua. Amen

🍲 *SHABACH YESHUA ENDLESS GOODNESS DAILY DEVOTIONAL* Thursday 20th April 2023 *TOPIC:* *COMPLAIN, COMPLAINT

🔑 *KEY VERSE:* 

"Now the people complained...." (Numbers 11:1, NIV).

*TODAY'S TEXT* 

Numbers 11:1-9

*MESSAGE* 

Sometimes it looks like complaining is part of human nature. When it is rainy we complain, when it is sunny we complain. We complain about the weather and what we have to wear. We complain about the food. We complain about traffic and technology. We virtually complain about everything.

Complaining was second nature for Israel during the wilderness years. In our passage, Israel was only three days into their wilderness journey when they started to complain. They complained about their hardships and the wilderness food. They wanted something different from the manna they had to eat, day in and day out. The food they had eaten in Egypt seemed so much better.

Life, like the wilderness, can be hard, but when we complain, we fall into the devil's trap. When we complain, we tend to glamorize what we don't have. Did they have it better in Egypt? Somehow the people completely forgot the hardships they had endured there as slaves. When we complain, we tend to see life in a distorted way. Grumbling flows from people who think they deserve something better.

Paul calls us to do everything without grumbling (Philippians 2:14). This is possible when we learn to concentrate on God's grace in Christ. We don't have to complain so often when we know we are loved by God. His grace can move us from grumbling to gratitude.

➖➖➖➖➖➖

🎚 *CONTROLLING THOUGHTS* 

 Complaints never solve problems.

🙏🏿 *PRAYER* 

Oh Lord my Father, Forgive us when we grumble, and help us to be content in You. In Jesus our Christ. Amen.

*TOPIC:* 

*GIVE IT OUT*

🔑 *KEY VERSE:* 

"For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son... (John 3:16).

*TODAY'S TEXT* 

Mark 11:1-11

*MESSAGE*

Our God is a giver. No man on earth can give anything close to the gift God gave to mankind, "His only begotten Son. As children of our Father, we should be givers, givers of words of encouragement, godly love, care and every good gift that will glorify our father and lead men to Him. No amount of giving will make a giver go down, rather he will remain above.

I read a story in a devotional, where a young man needed a car to travel to a church where he was going to conduct a youth rally. He asked a friend of his to lend him his car. His friend was hesitant at first because that was the only car he and his wife depended on. But on a second thought, he and his wife remembered that souls would be won to the kingdom through the trip, they quickly consented. The young man travelled in the car, conducted the rally and many teenagers gave their lives to Christ.

In our scripture today, Jesus sent His disciples to fetch another man's donkey and to tell anyone who asked, that the Master had need of it.

He instructed them to "loose him and bring him." The same donkey conveyed Jesus to Jerusalem. This is to teach us that we should not hold back anything that will contribute to the elevation of others and progress of the Gospel.

What is that thing you are holding so tenaciously? Let it go, for the Use of the Master, that sister, that brother or that friend. There will always be someone that needs what we have. As much as it lies within our

reach, let us learn never to hold back.

That which you hold so dear may save someone's life. Do not ignore that call. Attend to that knock on the door. In your place of work, in your neighbourhood, make yourself always available for the challenges of others and you will never lose your reward. 

➖➖➖➖➖

🎚 *CONTROLLING THOUGHTS* 

 Never hold back release it; you may be saving a soul.

🙏🏿 *PRAYER* 

In the name of Jesus. Make me a channel of blessing to this generation, Oh Lord, God of my praise. Amen

*NEGLECTING THE NEEDFUL*

🔑 *KEY VERSE:* 

"But one thing is needful and Mary has chosen the best part; it will not be taken away from her" (Luke 10:42, NET).

*TODAY'S TEXT* 

Luke 10:38-42

*MESSAGE*

Life is structured in such a way that everything is not equal in importance and relevance. It is only the careless and naive that dabbles into life issues without consideration.

Our text is an account of the Lord on a visit to Bethany where Mary and

her sister Martha lived. Martha was distracted by all the preparations

she had to make. Mary sat at Jesus' feet to learn from Him. After a while, Martha scampered complaining of Mary's absence from the domestic chores. Expecting an open buffeting on the sister but Jesus rather turned to her and reprimanded her for indiscretion. We are all products of our individual choices. Everyone should always enlist the help of the Holy Spirit and ensure the backing of the Word of God as we go about life.

 

A little mistake can result in dire consequences. We should always streamline our life opportunities to help us make wise choices.

We can learn from the life of this Great General - Alexander. He was born in Macedonia in 336 BC by King Philip ll of Macedonia. His father was murdered by conspirators when he was 20. He ascended

the throne and finished off the conspirators. He then went to war and

conquered the whole of Asia, Persia, Greece, and Egypt after reaching

Babylon in 323 BC. He was contemplating on further empires remaining to defeat.

He had a sudden attack of fever. It was too insignificant to be given

attention since he had defeated the whole world. The following day, he was dead. The man nobody in the world could dare was swept off by fever. He did not give attention to little things. Zachariah cautioned, "Who dares make light of small things?" (Zachariah 4:10). Jesus concluded to the Pharisees, you ought to have done the first but do not neglect the second. From little things, the greatest often grows.

🎚 *CONTROLLING THOUGHTS* 

 We should always streamline our opportunities to make the best choices.

🙏🏿 *PRAYER* 

 My Lord and my God, help me with my decisions not to make mistakes. Amen

🔑 *KEY VERSE:*

"...the angel of the Lord appeared to him in the blazing fire...Moses stared in amazement...when the Lord saw Moses coming to take a closer look, God
called... 'Here I am,' Moses replied" (Exodus 3:1-4, NLT).

*TODAY'S TEXT*
Isaiah 42:1-9

*MESSAGE*
The divine mill often grinds slowly, but perfectly. God is not often in a hurry while making His servants. We are sometimes left gasping for breaths as we watch divine protégés being evolved. You watch as some make awful and woeful free falls, or how else would you describe the death of our Master on the Cross; to the man in the flesh, that was an anticlimax, "He saved others..."(Luke 23:35) but cannot save Himself. Our God is the Master Crafts-Man He perfects the works that He starts. The story of Moses, like
many others, is epic. Born out of season, when it was unthinkable for a
male child to be given birth to, by a Hebrew in the land of Egypt, he became the adopted offspring of his adversary. He struck the first blow and became a vagabond, but the divine Hand was on the mill.

Moses was now ready for the real assignment of life because he had
been prepared and made fit, taught royalty in Pharaoh's palace, humbled in the dry wilderness with nothing exciting but cattle and wild beasts. Above all, Moses was now taught and made ready, having been adjusted and become sensitive to divine nudging and signals; he could now recognize God. Before now, he was merely groping and floundering
through human efforts that brought more failures and disappointments. Though created for the assignment, he was not yet the man for the job until God would come and approve him, until he was ready. What you are going through at present might be God trying to get your attention. You
might be at the threshold of your breakthrough. Draw closer to God! This
might be the end of your life's struggles and failures. God has been waiting for you to be ready for this encounter. So many victories await
you.

🎚 *CONTROLLING THOUGHTS*
Your new version may never emerge until you have emptied yourself into God's purpose and discipline.

Dear Lord, may I realize that You are making me into Your treasured possession through my present experiences. In the name of Yeshua. Amen

🍲 *SHABACH YESHUA ENDLESS GOODNESS DAILY DEVOTIONAL*Saturday 14th April 2023* *TOPIC:* *GOD WILL DO A NEW THING*

  

🔑 *KEY VERSE:* 

"Behold I will do a new thing...(Isaiah 43:19, NKJV).

*TODAY'S TEXT* 

Isaiah 43:18-25

*MESSAGE*

Everybody likes new things, especially as new things mostly bring pleasantries. In a world ravaged by wars, conflicts, discrimination, marginalization, poverty, disease, sicknesses, joblessness, hunger and starvation, wickedness, destruction and wanting election rigging, need a new thing that will bring pleasantness.

Biblical Israelites found themselves in terrible situations which became a circle. It was occurring and recurring again and again. The book of Isaiah tells this story; it is considered a miniature Bible. The Bible has 66 books and Isaiah has 66

chapters. The story concerning the nation of Israel is told in the 39 books of the Old Testament which is also captured in the 39 chapters of Isaiah. The story about redemption and hope for Israel which is told in the 27 books of the New Testament is also told in the 27 chapters of Isaiah. The 39 books of the Old Testament and the 39 chapters of Isaiah tell the story of sin, bondage, burden and yokes for the Israel nation. The 27 books of the New Testament and the 27 chapters of Isaiah report

on the new thing God was doing. God forgave Biblical Israel and redeemed them. A new thing not anticipated happened. Sin will not be punished forever; judgment will not stay forever. No condition is permanent. God can and will do a new thing. Hold unto Him!

➖➖➖➖➖➖

🎚 *CONTROLLING THOUGHTS* 

 Expect a new thing to happen in your life for God has said so. It is the nature of God to do new things.

🙏🏿 *PRAYER* 

Oh Lord my father, on the account of the blood of Yeshua, do something new in my life oh Lord my God. Amen.

🍲 *SHABACH YESHUA ENDLESS GOODNESS DAILY DEVOTIONAL* *Friday 14th April 2023* *TOPIC:* *THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT- PEACE*

 

🔑 *KEY VERSE:* 

"But the fruit of the spirit is... Peace... " (Galatians 5:22)

*TODAY'S TEXT* 

Psalm 29:11

Philippians 4:6

*MESSAGE* 

 The Greek word for peace is "Eirene" which refers to the quietness of

heart and mind based on the assurance that all is well between the believer and his God regardless of the storm that rages. Peace means calmness, tranquillity or equanimity of the mind despite war, tribulations and hardships, without one being anxious, restless, agitated, or losing sleep. These positive experiences can only be supernatural and not ordinary, as a result of the workings of the Holy Spirit within a believer.

In John 16:33, Our Lord Jesus says in Him we shall have peace though there shall be tribulations in the world, while those outside Christ may need man-made tranquillizers to sleep or calm down in tribulations. Through the Holy Spirit, Jesus, the Prince of Peace (Isa. 9:6), gives us the peace that the world cannot give and because of this our hearts cannot be troubled (John 14:1,27).

All the things that trouble our hearts are everywhere now, including how to meet our many needs vis-a-vis scarce or limited resources or means. Several economic principles such as the scale of preference and opportunity cost may fail us and peace becomes elusive while anxiety and sleeplessness prevail and devastate us. Given this, the Bible warns against being anxious but to pray with thanksgiving about all our needs, the result being that the Holy Spirit will inundate our hearts with the peace that is beyond human understanding, peace

the world can neither experience nor explain (Phil. 4:6-7). The world can only give the false peace of RIP to everyone, including the wicked when they die. Sadly, the Bible says there is no peace for the wicked in this life or that which is to come (Isa. 57:21; Rom. 3:17).

Peace is so important that apart from the Lord who promised to give it to all His followers. St. Paul lavishly prays for it and wishes it for all the Saints in all his Epistles, from Romans to Philemon, either at the beginning or closing or both. Every child of God should experience peace with God, with fellow human beings and above all within himself or herself no matter how troublous the times and

situations might be through the indwelling and working of the Holy Spirit. This peace begins from repentance from sin following which comes forgiveness, justification, adoption, sanctification and being filled with the Holy Spirit. (Rom. 5:1-2, etc). No one or institution can make meaningful progress without peace. We need peace in our lives, homes, nation and institutions or else wars and conflicts which precipitate incalculable damage.

➖➖➖➖➖➖

 

🎚 *CONTROLLING THOUGHTS* 

 Peace is not the absence of war; it is a virtue, a state of the mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence and justice.

🙏🏿 *PRAYER* 

Oh Lord my Father, fill our hearts with your peace no matter the storms in the world. In the name of Yeshua the Christ. Amen
