Compete with Yourself by Pastor David Ibiyeomie


Compete with Yourself by Pastor David Ibiyeomie

Excellence is being truly the best at something, outstandingly successful. It is surpassing others in some good qualities. It is dong a common thing uncommonly well. Excellence is delivering first-class quality in everything you do.

Ecclesiastes 10:10 (KJV) If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.

If you don’t have a sharpened skill, you may have to put in more strength. The quality of your life is determined by your commitment to excellence. Seek to improve on what you’ve learnt. School will inform you but personal development will transform you. Maximize your potential. There is something you can do that you have not yet done. Challenge yourself to be better than your previous result. Compete with yourself; not people.

God is a God of excellence. When He created all things in Gen. 1, the Bible recorded that it was very good; that means it was excellent. When Jesus came to the earth, Mark 2:12 recorded that people were amazed at Him.

Keys To Family Dominion (Part 2) by Pastor Faith Oyedepo

Keys To Family Dominion (Part 2) by Pastor Faith Oyedepo

Dear Reader,

Last week, I taught on how seeking revelation and being positive will help you exercise family dominion.

However, this week, I will be examining Unity in the Family. The Bible says: …how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! (Psalm 133:1). Doubtlessly, unity in the family fosters dominion. When you are united as a family, your dominion is unquestionable and visible.

Genesis 11:6 says: …Behold, the people is one… and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. This shows the strength of unity! Thus, to exercise dominion in your family, ensure there is unity in all that you set out to do. As the head of the family, there should be transparency to enable the members of your family know where you are leading them to. This makes it easy for them to follow and brings about the much-needed unity that culminates in dominion.

It is quite unfortunate that even Christians, worshipping in the same church have challenges in their relationship with one another. The responsibility of living peaceably is not only on one person but on all members of the family. Ensure that peace reigns among you. Parents, teach your children how to live peacefully among one another; this should also extend to your in-laws.

Memorise: “Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.”- Proverbs 29:17

Read: 1 Samuel 3:11-14 (KJV)

11 And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.

12 In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.

13 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.

14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.

Bible in One Year: Exodus 33-34, Jeremiah 38:14-28

Topic: Fellowship – The Mission Link [TREM Devotional 19 May 2019]

“So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.” Romans 12:5 (KJV)

The Church of today has become so caught up in the jet-age syndrome that we have introduced it to every area of our lives. We are fast neglecting one of the key reasons for gathering together in a particular location for worship, which is fellowship. We have reduced fellowship to greeting some known faces after service and at best, knowing the name of the brother or sister in the same group. The devil is using this lie to cheat us of some great things God has in store for us as we fellowship together in one accord. When Apostle Paul in Hebrews 10:25 encouraged us not to neglect the assembling of ourselves together, he had something in mind that goes beyond worship and that is fellowship. While I agree that in Church service, the ultimate audience is God, every vertical worship must result in horizontal fellowship, if your worship is to be meaningful.

Today, I have come to challenge you to go a step further beyond worship to fellowshipping with your brothers and sisters. What really is fellowship? The word “Fellowship” has synonyms that connote a very different meaning than what we have limited the word “Fellowship” to. We have taken fellowship to mean the gathering together in a place for praise, worship and sharing of the Word, but do you know that fellowship also connotes companionship, friendship, partnership, and comradeship? Let’s go a step further, “to fellowship” is also “to associate with”.
