🔰 YOUTH DEVOTIONAL

Our lives would have been better if we sought God the way we sought after our daily bread, money, power, and fame. Many of our mates have gone far in life. Why? They obeyed God 100%, likewise, many of our mates have died of sudden death. Why? Disobedience, sin, and ignorance.

Does it mean that we are alive because we are righteous and obedient to God? No! We are alive today because of the mercy of God. Some who died were far better and very obedient to God, yet they are no more. It’s a big privilege to be alive today. Don’t take God’s mercy and love for granted! Be obedient to his commandments and study his word. Be humble and submissive to God. You’re not a fool, don’t mind what people say; don’t look at what people are doing today. Mind your business, and seek God first.

Not everyone great in life is a thief or a fraudster. Not every business is illegal. There are young rich Christians out there, who are making cool money and doing great things in life. Some of them are younger than we are; their blessings have attracted honor and respect that those older than them call them daddy or mummy. The blessings of God will make older people prostrate before you. The blessings of God bring unexplainable honor.

You are also destined for greatness in life. You’re not created to remain poor in life. Many of us should have gone far in life if we were obedient to God 100%. You can attend church all the days of your life and remain poor. Yes! Because going to church doesn’t bring God’s blessing; but 100% obedience to God’s word and instructions.

Joshua 1:8 is one of the words and instructions of God to the youths today. If you want to prosper in life. You must read, speak, and do the word of God every day of your life.

Meaning, that you will keep struggling in life if you refuse to study and do the word of God. You will be adding more problems and more delays to your life if you keep refusing to obey God and obey his commandments. Your helpers will never see you if you refuse to obey God. Do you want your story to change? Do you want the blessings of God? Do you want your helpers to remember you today?


PRAY THIS PRAYER TODAY:
● Father, in any way I have disobeyed you, I’m sorry… have mercy on me.

● Father, help me to always obey you; help me to love you more and to study your word more.

● Father, I don’t know who you will send, send help to me for my dreams in life to be fulfilled!

It is good to be smart, but anyone who thinks he or she is too smart than God will surely fall. Definitely, no man on earth, not even the angels in heaven can ever be smarter than God. Never!

Revelations 12:7-12 — Lucifer the Angel was disgraced and casted out of heaven to hell, because he thought he was smarter than God. He was chased out, and dethroned. Also in Daniel 4:28-37 — A King called Nebuchadnezzar in the history of the Bible was disgraced, because he thought he was smarter than God. He became an animal, feeding on grasses like an Ox 🐂 for 7 years. Don’t joke with God!

How do I know if I’m becoming smarter than God? We are smarter than God when we ignore him and disobey his word. We are smarter than God when we think we know more than God. You’re smarter than God when the Bible is no longer important to you. We lack understanding and knowledge, and that’s the reason why many perish; suffer, and die for nothing. The Devil is using many youths to count scores; winning souls to hell.

The Word of God is like Oxygen. It is life! You cannot survive without the word of God. The word of God is JESUS CHRIST — John 1:1-4. When you ignore the word, you’re ignoring Jesus Christ, and permitting the devil to win you over to hell.

This life is more spiritual than physical. There are so many unseen and seen battles that our Lord JESUS is fighting for us, else we won’t be alive today. But how do we pay back this loving God? By ignoring him? Let’s return back to God!

Today, Most Christians no longer read the Bible again, especially Christian youths, and so-called church workers, who only open their Bible on Sunday mornings. No man can deceive God! God can not be mocked.

It’s so sad that when the word of God is shared on platforms, 5 out of 100 will read, while 95 will ignore or feel less concerned. But post about worldly trends and see how the whole place become a bomb. What a funny generation!

When the word of God is posted, 1 or 2 out of 100 will read and react, while others will snub, acting too big for God, confidently ignoring the word of God. Is that wisdom or foolishness?

We are in the days of so many distractions, and the Devil is seriously working to complete his mission before the end of this world, by keeping many youths, and church workers very busy for eternal damnation, hell fire. John 10:10 says it all — the devil has come to steal, kill, and destroy…

A word is enough for the wise! Please share. God bless you! https://tinyurl.com/whatsapp-ypn1

I took my time to study the story of David and Goliath and I discovered something there.

David stood in front of Goliath and instead of seeing the gigantic nature of Goliath, he saw the mightiness of God whose armies have been defiled. Goliath thought it was all about the small nature of David and he made mockery of the weapons of David, little did he know that just one stone out of the five he was mocking, will be his end.

How can David come to a fully dressed and armed man with sling and stones, is he not scared of death? Yet what we think is the foolishness of David and his God became the greatest wisdom of David and his God. Could it be that the reason you are still swallowed by those challenges is because you tell God how big/gigantic your challenges are, instead of looking fearless at the challenges and reminding them how big and mighty your God is.

Stop giving your problems or challenges upper hand by thinking they are big and gigantic, our God is bigger. Dearly beloved, we are advantaged because we have a God who is more powerful and mighty than any challenge staring at us.

Rise above the self pity; Rise above the insecurities. Rise above the fears. Our God is capable and the moment you start seeing that, that’s the moment you become closer to your miracle. We are not disadvantaged; When the challenges come facing you fearlessly, smile and adjust your crown reminding them whose daughter you are.
Your testimonies are nearer than you think.

You are more beloved!!

“Don’t cry I am helping you, don’t you see the pain you’re going through?, “Each morning when I come here and see you crying from pains, It hurts me”. She said to the sobbing patient who could hardly move or speak.

The old woman was shivering, and shaking on the hospital bed, as the Nurse adjusted the drip; she brought a syringe, peeled off the needle cap, and injected an overdose of insulin into the old woman’s drip. The old woman slips into shock.

“Doctor! Doctor! Please your attention is needed in ward five, the old patient is having a crisis.” Nurse Audrey called the Head Doctor over the intercom 📞 The Doctor came rushing down.

“What happened Nurse? ” He asked.
“Sir I was administering medication to her when suddenly she began to convulse.” The Doctor fought in futility, Mama who was a very jovial patient, slept the forever sleep. “I thought she was going to make it, she was responding to treatment. Cover her, and inform her children.” The Doctor said.

He was stepping out of the room, when Rhoda, grandma’s grandchild stepped in. “Doctor, what’s wrong with my grandma? Why is that Nurse covering my grandma up?”

The Doctor shook his head as he patted her shoulder while heading out of the room. “My dear am so sorry, your grandma did not make it, I thought she would.” “What do you mean my grandma did not make it?

“She was here gisting with me, she asked me to get her food from the cafeteria, when the nurse came in to give her afternoon injection, how can my grandma just die?” She threw away the the plate of beans and plantain she had bought for her grandma, and pushed the nurse covering her grandma up away.

“Get away from my grandma! She cannot die! Grandma was okay! What did you do to my grandma?” The Doctor held Rhoda who cried uncontrollably. “Aaah Anini you cannot leave me now! Anini you promised to be at my wedding” She wept and rolled.

The Nurse covered the corpse up, the nurse assistant pushed the corpse away to the mortuary. Nurse Audrey went to the nurses’ station, and brought out her jotter with a big grin buttered across her face while she ticked a table she had drawn on the book – “two for this month, two more to go.”

She laughed hysterically rolling in her office; she quickly got up and cleaned herself when she sensed someone was standing outside her office… (to be continued) — The Killer Nurse.

The woman called “Accomplished” is armed with the road map of her destination and she won’t stop until she gets there. She is a diamond that started as coal but has turned into a jewel. She is not scared of fire because she is made of fire. Though she was created last in the creation story, she is in no way an afterthought.

She is a woman who has survived many earthquakes of life troubles because she is indomitable. She is inspired by her Faith and fueled by her convictions. She is a partner, a lover, a friend, a mother, and a leader. In the space of a few hours, she can move from running a business to making lunch, playing with the kids, reading bedtime stories and still playing with her husband at night.

She understands that it is a challenge to master all these roles but much more dangerous to get stuck in a particular role at the expense of the others, so she consistently wears the bracelet of wisdom, that sponsors her resolve to be “Balanced.”

She is not a toy that men play with. She is that table in an occasion marked reserved. She is the envy of the ordinary and an inspiration to the elites. She is that woman her world calls impossible. She understands that houses are bought but homes are created so she is intentional. She is a model to her children, a trophy to her husband, and a treasure to her generation.

I am an extraordinary woman, fiercely on an assignment to recruit many into this army of women called accomplished. I have come to remind you that it is time to take your world by storm. Share with every Extraordinary woman you know.
