The Cities the Philistines took from Israel were restored to them, and the Amorites were at Peace with Israel. *Summarily, when the help from the Lord is acknowledged and celebrated, the following among others will happen:* *1)* The hand of the Lord will be against one's Enemies - *1 Samuel 7:13* *2)* Enem

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                              *REDEEMING THE TIME* *By Pastor E O Gabriel   29 May 2024* SCRIPTURE: Redeeming the time because the days are evil - *‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:16‬ ‭KJV‬‬* God hates Wastage. *John 6:2-12* He also hates the Unprofitable use of Resources.  The Parable of the Talents shows this. Therefore, Apostle Paul highlighted for us the cause of time Wastage and the Unprofitable use of time. He mentioned that we should not walk in Foolishness. *How does walking in folly adversely affect the maximal use of our time?* *(1)* A fool lives like there is no God - *Psalms 14:1; Psalms 53:1* • Foolishness makes a man run contrary to the Plan of God for him.  Moses wanted to be a Deliverer without God and ended up being a Murderer. • Therefore, he wasted the first eight years of his Life. At 80, he was at the backside of the desert. *(2)* Foolishness makes a man despise Wisdom and Instruction - *Proverbs 1:7; Proverbs 15:5* • Apostle

God asked him what he saw, and he answered that he saw a rod of an almond tree . God's response was that he had seen well, and He will hasten His Word to Perform it - *Jeremiah 1:11-12* *Seeing well in any facet of Life makes a man move fast and far.* The Bible says, "Write  the Vision and make it Plain upon tables, that he may run that reads it -  *Habakkuk 2:2* *A man of Vision does not walk. He runs.* This explains why Joseph quickly rose to Stardom among his Brethren. His Vision quickened his rising in Life. Similarly, Apostle Paul was not disobedient to the Heavenly Vision. He moved from being the least

He was able to go beyond the Boundary set for him. He broke the limits set for him. *God has no limits* - *Isaiah 9:7; 2 Chronicles 2:6; Isaiah 40:28* *Man was created in the Image and the Likeness of God, and so man was created and blessed to live without limits* - *Genesis 1:26-28* *But when man fell into sin, limiting factors set in such as Death, Curses, Pain, Sorrow, Lack, etc.* *Ever since then, man has been living with limits.* For instance: Death puts a limit on how long a man can live. A Curse puts a limit on what a man can achieve in Life.  When the Lord cursed the Ground for the sake of man

It starts the day you are born and ends the day you die or Jesus appears in Glory.* Samuel was saying that in the race of Life, one doesn't win by Strength, Skill, Intellectualism, or by Connections, but we win through the help of the Lord. These Scriptures Witness this Truth - *1 Samuel 2:9; Zechariah 4:6; Ecclesiastes 9:11; Luke 12:1; 2 Kings 6:25-27* Samuel was also saying that since He has helped thus far, we can be assured of His help tomorrow - *Hebrews 13:8; Malachi 3:6* *The help from the Lord is in Categorie

David experienced it when he found himself in a miry Clay - *Psalms 40:2* Jeremiah also experienced this when he was thrown into a dungeon that he had no water but had mire and he was sunk in mire -  *Jeremiah 38:1-6* *This situation can arise for various reasons, some of which are:* *(1)* Household Wickedness - *Micah 7:6* *(2)* Because there is

Ephraim, the second born of Joseph, was repositioned when Jacob, their Grandfather, crossed his hands to bless him and his brother, Manasseh.  Through the crossing of hands, Ephraim was repositioned for Greater Productivity - *Genesis 48:13-20* He grew bigger than his brother - *Deuteronomy 33:1

For we have seen his Star in the east. Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea and hundreds of miles away, his Great Star was seen.  The Wise Men travelled the distance to come and Worship Him. Jesus' Great Star was not hidden, just like ours. The Wise Men came to Worship Him, but Herod the King arose to destroy the Star. With the visible Star, hell was let loose. This explains why the affliction of the Righteous are many - *Psalms 34:19* *The Righteous is a Star waiting to Shine* - *Proverbs 4:18* The afflictions of the righteous are meant to kill the Star, but God as the Lor

Our Father who art in Heaven" - *Luke 11:1-2* *This is to affirm to us that God has a son/daughter Relationship with everyone who is related to Him by Spiritual Birth. He has no Grandchildren.* *This is also attested to by the way He introduced Himself to Jacob on his way from Beersheba to Haran. He said I am the God of Abraham thy father and the God of Isaac.* One would have expected Him to say I am the God of Abraham thy Grandfather.  *The Terminology Grandfather is Earthly.* *God is the Father to everyone who is

Ever before sin became a Problem, Christ had been slain.  *This informs us that before sin became a Problem to Mankind, Christ had Provided a Solution.* The Bible speaking, say that, before the  Mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the Earth and the world, even from Everlasting to Everlasting, thou art God - *Psalms 90:2* *Therefore, there is no Problem without a Solution.* *There are certain things we need to know about Solutions:* *1)* Solutions are within the reach

He Prayed thrice but had no Positive Change. God said to him, "My Grace is Sufficient for thee."  *Prayer is Good and Powerful.* The effectual fervent Prayer of a Righteous man avails much - *James 5:16* But from the above, Prayer alone is not Sufficient in Life.  Money is Good and answers all things - *Ecclesiastes 10:19* Money fails and is not Sufficient.  Intellectualism is Good and Profitable, but in the race of Life, it is not Sufficient - *Ecclesiastes 9:11* Power is Good and Sweet but can be resisted, therefore not Sufficient to

Then the Lord caused the hosts of Assyria to come upon him. He was bound and taken to Babylon.  While he was in affliction, Manasseh sought the Lord in his affliction and humbled himself. When the Lord saw that he had humbled himself, he se

You were so enraged that you hit him with the big soup laddle. He escaped and sought refuge from your wrath at a neighbor's place.  You reported him to your husband when he got back from work. He summoned the child and gave him a punishment. He released him after minutes of messy tears and trembling legs. You didn't give him dinner, you sent the boy to bed hungry. Yet, you were not satisfied. You woke him up in the middle of the night and delt with him further. Your turning stick and his father's leather belt aided you in melting out the punishment. In the morning, you acted as if you had forgiven him. You admonished him, fed him, packed his lunch, and offered to walk him to school. The child was relieved, happy even that he was now forgiven.
