Topic: Take A Quality Decision To Serve God [TREM Devotional 29 February 2019]

Click HERE for Previous MESSAGES by Bishop Mike Okonkwo

“And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper.” 2 Chronicles 26:5 (KJV)

We are told in 2 Chronicles chapter 26 that Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king in Judah, and he ruled for fifty-two years. That was unprecedented in the history of Kings, but the clincher was that he ruled well even as a young person. I itch when I see young people wasting their time and their God-given resources on mundane things. Put on your imagination! If Uzziah, at that tender age could rule a nation, then what excuse do you have not to excel in your business, career, job, or wherever the Lord has located you?

Beloved, it is pertinent to note also that King Uzziah came to the throne at a time when it was not fashionable to serve God. At sixteen he made a choice that eternally changed his life and destiny. What choices are you making today? Take a quality decision to serve the Lord and to follow Him with all your heart and strength. We are told that King Uzziah’s defining moment came when God helped him both against his enemies and in building great infrastructures that earned him respect. My prayer is that as you will continuously serve God. He will help you and show you a token for good.

I am a firm believer that eyes have not seen either have ears heard nor has it entered into the heart of man what God has in stock for you. God will drop some incredible ideas into your spirit that will blow your mind away and take your world by storm. I declare that the world will hear from you. You will never go under because you are the seed of the righteous. No man will sit on your throne. God will catapult you to your palace. Those who planned against you will turn around to bow before your God. God will show Himself strong on your behalf. You will not end in shame or disaster

DAILY CONFESSION

The beauty of the Lord is upon me and the Lord will establish the work of my hands. I will lend unto nations and borrow from none. The Lord gives me the seed to sow and the bread to eat. He guides me continually; He satisfies my soul in drought, he makes my bones fat. I am like a well-watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not. (Ps. 90:17; Deut 28:12, Is. 55:10; Is. 58:11)

I am convinced that all things work together for my good, because I love God and because I am called according to His purpose; so, I do not fret about anything; but in everything, I give thanks to God the Father. Blessed be the Lord who has not given me as a prey to the enemy, my soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers, the snare is broken and I have escaped for my help is in the name of the Lord. (Rom. 8:28; 1 Thess 5:18, Psalm 124:6-8)

Every day and in every way, I am getting better: spiritually, physically, financially, mentally, morally, and in all my endeavours.

I am called for a purpose. I will fulfil this purpose and I will arrive at God’s ordained destiny for my life. Nothing will cut me short. I will make a formidable impact in my world for the Kingdom.

It is my week of All Grace!
