TEXT: GENESIS 34: 1- 5

TOPIC: PEER INFLUENCE (3)

KEY VERSE:  GENESIS 34:1

 Now Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the land.


                 The quality of your friends will determine how how far you will go in life. Taking a step forward and two steps backward is an evidence of mixed associations in life. Who are your friends? The greatest influence over a man is his friend and bad friend corrupt good manners. 

                 Dinah was the only daughter of Jacob. She found company among the unrighteous and in one of her visits to the young women in the city, the Prince of the city seized Dinah and raped her. After that he made a move to marry her because he was in love with her. The children of Jacob were very angry because they found it so disgusting for a daughter of Jacob to be defiled just like that.Simeon and Levi took it upon themselves and killed the prince, the king and all the men in that city. This action made Jacob to leave the city for another place.

                 This was the last time we heard about Dinah. One single mistake of wrong companionship cost her purity, and lives were lost. Be wise in choosing friends, if you must have friends choose from those of the household of faith who are believers and adhere to Christian values and beliefs.

Prayer: Father separate me from every wrong friends influencing my life negatively 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.

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.
