Text:Judges 12:1-3
Topic:Take your life into your hands.
Golden Text: when I saw  that you would not help, I took my life in my hands and crossed over to fight the Ammonites. Judges 12:3
A story was told of a boy after finishing his high school, his parents could not afford to sponsor him through tertiary education, he was willing and determined to be a university graduate, everywhere he turned to there was no help. He became a bus conductor in the city and out of his earnings he sponsored himself through the university and eventually now a Professor.
In our text, Jephtah faced the Ammonites all alone without help from neighboring tribe, Ephraim. He called on them but he was turned down and decided to take his life into his hands by crossing over to fight the Ammonites and God gave him victory. He could have stayed back and remain slave to the Ammonites with his people but when God saw his act of bravery, he crowned his efforts with victory.
Have you been failed by those you rely on to help you out? Do not be weary, take your destiny into your hands, launch out in faith and God will help you. Until you take that step you may not see the hand of God. God is willing to help you if only you can be responsible for your life and stop blaming others for your situation and take corresponding actions that will help you out of that helpless situation.
Prayer : Father arise in your mercies and help me out of every helpless situation in Jesus name.

Who is your Friend?

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD WEDNESDAY 9TH APRIL, 2025 TEXT: 2 Samuel 13:1-5 [1]And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. [2]And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do any thing to her. [3]But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man. [4]And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king’s son, lean from day to day? Wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister. [5]And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.

The LORD is in his sanctuary (3)

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD SUNDAY 4TH MAY, 2025 TEXT: Habakkuk 2:20 [20]But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him. TOPIC: THE LORD IS IN HIS SANCTUARY (3)            The presence of God makes a difference between a church and any other place. In God’s presence there is peace, deliverance, and fullness of Joy. In the old Testament, men of faith often raise up an altar to symbolize his presence and praise him there. The church is the modern day temple where there are altars set up to meet God. No one can come to God’s presence and return empty handed.          Many a times when people come to church without experiencing a touch, it is because they do not come with expectations of receiving from God. When there is expectations, it shows you have faith that God is in his temple and you are sensitive to his movements by being silence before God. God speaks right from the beginning of the Church s...

Your vision will speak

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD SATURDAY 4TH JANUARY, 2025 TEXT: Habakkuk 2:3 [3]For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. TOPIC: YOUR VISION WILL SPEAK          Vision is time bound. Writing down of vision, planning, setting out to fulfill the goals are all processes that are necessary before vision can become a reality.        Your vision will definitely speak, if only you can wait for it. Great things do not usually happen suddenly. There is a moment to plant, watered and patiently wait for it to germinate. The bigger the vision, the bigger the time it would take to become a reality. Do not give up on your vision , it will speak at the appropriate time. Prayer: Father help me to patiently wait for me vision to become a reality in Jesus name.
