 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD

THURSDAY 22ND OCTOBER, 2020

TEXT: JOHN 4: 39-43

TOPIC: STEWARDSHIP OF INFLUENCE 

KEY VERSE:JOHN 4:39

And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.

             Stewardship of influence is the ability to use your position to  draw people within you to your convictions.

                The Samaritan woman heard the gospel, she believed and she went around telling people about her new found faith.  Listening to her probably shows that they have had contact with her before that time. Though she was reputed to have five husband previously and presently cohabiting with the present husband. She still have a kind of influence that made people to listen to her. Jesus did not go to just any person in Samaria but this particular woman, he broke cultural Boundaries and took his time to explain the gospel to this woman. He knew beforehand that this woman had influence on the people and winning her will bring hundred of souls to the kingdom.

                   There is no man that does not have influence but the degree of influence varies. How are you using your influence? The influence you have over others is for you to win them to christ by witnessing to them and also living what you witness. God will hold us accountable for people that are within our circumspect of influence and we refuse to win them over to him.

Prayer: Lord help me to maximize my influence by telling people around me about Christ 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.
