 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 27TH,2020

TEXT: 1 KINGS 19:8-15 

TOPIC: HANDLING DEPRESSION (7)

KEY VERSE: 1Ki 19:18

 Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel--all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and all whose mouths have not kissed him."

         Depression have a way of making you think that you are the only one passing through that problem.it makes one feel lonely, abandoned , distressed, and feel sorry for oneself. 

       Elijah was in this state, God was surprised to see him and the first question he asked him was  "what are you doing here Elijah? " Elijah was expecting God to pity his condition. God was not moved by his story. He told him to stand before the mountain and right there he saw different revelations of God. Again he asked him "what are you doing here"? He repeated the same story and God told him to get back to work. God made Elijah realized that he was not the only one doing it right but there are others there who have not bowed down to Baal. If God kept them how much more he would not keep him. 

   When you are depressed do not yield to the temptation that you are the only one faithful. Don't allow self pity, it will render your good works inactive. Be assured even if you don't know who they are, others are faithfully obeying God and fulfilling his duties. Depression want to press you down but do not allow it by saying no to negative emotions and getting back to that which you are doing because it is not yet over for you until God says it is over. 

Prayer: I receive grace to walk on every depression into victory 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.
