A WASTED PURPOSE

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD

WEDNESDAY 9TH JANUARY, 2025

TEXT: Matthew 27:3-5

[3]Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

[4]Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

[5]And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

TOPIC: A WASTED PURPOSE

         A Known purpose can be wasted when you did not value it and you are more concerned about your immediate needs. Judas labored with Jesus for about three and half years, he was one of the foundational Apostles, he saw purpose in Christ, he left all and followed Jesus. At a point in his life, greed and covetousness set in, he was stealing from the ministry purse, he was much more concerned about what he would gain from Jesus’s ministry.

         He simply lost focus, his purpose in christ meant nothing to him again and was willing to trade his purpose in Christ for thirty pieces of silver. He didn’t believe that Jesus would be arrested and killed. His greediness caught up with him, he lost his place in the Apostleship ministry, he sought it with tears but it was too late. He committed suicide and he ended up wasting his purpose and destiny in Christ. Guard your purpose in Christ, set your heart above and not on worldly things that can distract you from purpose. Learn from Judas who out of greed and covetousness wasted his purpose.

Prayer: Father help me not to trade my purpose with silver and gold 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.
