Right now, there are hundreds of radio frequencies in the air, hundreds of television signals all around you. But, you don’t hear them all. The reason is that you’re not tuned in. If you tune a radio or television to one of those frequencies, then you would pick up the signal. In the same way, God is constantly transmitting to us. He wants to lead us, guide us, protect us and give us insight. But too often, we’re not tuned to His frequency. You have to pay attention to Him and learn His voice. God doesn’t speak to us most of the time out loud. He speaks to us through subtle things.

God is Able
Text: Matthew 9:27-31 When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of David, have mercy on us!” 28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.” And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows it.” 31 But when they had departed, they spread the news about Him in all that country. Notice the following from this text: 1. The Two Blind Men The blind men were in a helpless, hopeless condition. The priest had not been able to help them. Their friends had not been able to help them. They were not able to help themselves. In the face of that, they had the testimony of the people and of history working against them. John 9:32, Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind. In other words, “What you are asking is really impossible!” The Blind Men were up against the impossible.

Before we can build on this foundation and go on in our Christian life we need to get a building “permit.” God will not issue the permit if we have been negligent in establishing a proper foundation.
All you have to do is call on His name and He will answer. He promises to hear you and deliver you. Receive His salvation, receive hope, and receive the freedom and victory He came to give.
Do you need to forgive yourself? Do you need to receive God’s forgiveness? Let go of the past so you can overcome disappointments and experience the bright future God has in store for you! There is freedom in forgetting!
When you choose to trust His timing, you can live in peace, you can live in joy, and you can rest in Him knowing that He has good things in store for your future. Today, find freedom in contentment and rest in His everlasting peace.
Do you believe He wants to pour out His favor on you, today? Don’t go around thinking that the blessing is far off. Stay in faith because faith is now, and it opens the door to His abundance all the days of your life!
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Romans 4:20, AMP. “No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God.”
Then, the Lord Jesus Christ will open the Book of Life and discover, as he already knows, that their names are not there. Tragically, they will be tossed into the Lake of Fire and assigned to Hell for eternity. The problem is that no one is good enough for God’s Heaven. If he were to let us into Heaven with all of our sin we would wreck the place.
Jesus did not come to abolish the Law. With that being said, tithing is indeed biblical, so go ahead and continue tithing. However, we have also discovered that your attitude in giving is just as important, maybe even more important, than your tithe.
Let faith arise in your heart and focus on His favor, promotion and blessing. See yourself in the palm of His hand, and see the victory and blessing He has prepared for you!
You can overcome every obstacle! You’ve been armed with strength for every battle; the forces that are with you are greater than the forces that are against you, and you are thoroughly equipped!
I encourage you today to let your actions give life to your faith. Show the world that you are trusting God’s Word. As you do, you’ll give life to your faith and step into new levels of His victory and blessing in every area of your life!
With every act of obedience, there is a blessing attached to it. When you do what you know God wants you to do, a blessing will follow. God rewards obedience

Faith is not in your head; faith is in your heart. You’ve got to turn your mind off and listen to what God is saying in your heart. Take a step of faith. Get your feet wet and move forward into the blessing and victory He has in store for you!
As Christ-followers, we serve a God who is not surprised at all by what we face each day. God is sovereign, so he knows all about panic, pandemics, chaos, and confusion. And he is with us no matter what we face.
Choose to take the limits off by choosing His thoughts of victory. Choose thoughts of increase and blessing. As you do, you’ll rise higher and higher and live the abundant, limitless life He has prepared for you!
Husbands, your wife needs to see you doing this every day both in your words and through your deeds. When both spouses do this consistently, their friendship and marriage will thrive and remain strong. Husbands, I encourage you to go through this list of expectations/needs with your wife and ask her how you are doing.
Refuse to dwell on your problems and don’t allow them to steal your peace and joy any longer. Instead, choose to meditate on His Word and confess God’s promises over your life. Cast your cares on Him and experience His peace, joy and blessing all the days of your life!
Of course, emulating these character traits is no magic formula guaranteeing a life with unlimited carbohydrates, pleasant in-laws and marriage to a barley tycoon. But, like Ruth discovered, godly character traits do ultimately produce a lasting harvest, impacting both earth and eternity.
As you stay in faith and are obedient to His Word, you’ll receive double for your trouble and see God go above and beyond in every area of your life!
I know we’re in uncharted waters. This is frightening territory, and it’s easy to be caught up in the emotion of it all. I think that’s what drives social media rumors most of all! Don’t forget that God is in control. He loves you. He wants the best for you. And He is holding you in the palm of His hand.
Declare that He is for you. Keep the weeds out of your heart by letting go of bitterness and choosing to forgive. Stay in step with God with your words and actions and receive His strength and power to be all He’s called you to be.
If you will start believing again, start dreaming again, start pursuing what God put in your heart, God will make a way where you don’t see a way. Press past the mountain and move forward into victory!
Decide today: “I’m not going to settle halfway, three-fourths of the way, or nine-tenths of the way. I’m going to make it all the way in to my promised land.”
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Excellence for a Christian should be more than a distant dream. It should be our daily aim and lifelong pursuit. In the closing greeting of a letter to the Corinthians, Paul urged the church of Corinth to “aim for perfection”
Forgive your spouse. Forgive those who hurt you. Be diligent to remain pure, and God will bless you beyond your wildest dreams.
Get rid of a negative, defeated mentality. Make room in your thinking for the new thing God wants to do, pull up your stakes and let God lead you in to your promised land!
You may be doing good. You’re using your gifts, but deep down you know you have more in you. Don’t let good be an excuse to keep you from God’s best. Stir up your greatness and stretch into a new level!
No foe can stand against you in the presence of Almighty God. Your enemies will be scattered! They will tremble at your words of faith! Let God arise and embrace the blessing and victory He has prepared for you!
Christ-centered goals help move us along in our journey to become more like Christ. Christ-centered goals are our way of cooperating with the sovereignty and will of God for our lives.
Make the decision to release those offenses and disappointments so you live in peace. Overlook offense, release offense and move forward in the power and victory the Lord has for you!
Your job is to be the person God made you to be. Overlook offenses and let go of strife so you can live in peace and victory all the days of your life!
We are not the only generation to experience stressful times. In the Bible these times are referred to with such words as: Famine Lean Years Want Lack It is an interesting study to see how God worked through famines and what happened to people who did not respond in faith to seasons of famine. Christianity was made for extreme times.
A vision from God will keep you in the plan of God. The vision from God is a restraint, but with promise.
Tune in to God’s Word, tune in to Him and let Him lead you and guide you into victory all the days of your life!
God created marriage to bless and fulfill us, and it will only do that if we serve each other. For one thing, we can’t meet our own needs. If we could, we wouldn’t get married! And secondly, we are sworn to fidelity. We are at each other’s mercy. That’s why marriage only works if a husband and wife serve each other.
THE HIGHEST POWER
If you’ve never turned to God, call on Him today. Ask Him to reveal Himself to You. Ask Him to show you His ways so that you can walk with Him and know Him all the days of your life!
FOLLOW PEACE
If you will be sensitive to His leading, if you will follow His peace, He will lead you into the blessing and victory He has prepared for you!
These four emotional needs are similar to the four legs of a table. If one of the legs is missing or broken, the whole table will be flimsy. If two or more of the legs are missing, the table has no hope of standing.
PEACE WITH YOUR ENEMIES
Today, know that you please Him when you seek Him by faith. You please Him when you read His Word. You please Him when you follow His commands. And, when you please Him, He makes even your enemies be at peace with you!
You have to ask yourself, “What am I feeling? What am I sensing?” You have to take time to get quiet and listen to God.
Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.” 24:3-5
God uses delays in answering prayer to help you grow, to help you get ready, and to help prepare you for a bigger and better answer.
DON'T OVERIDE THE ALARMS
He can keep you from danger. Don’t ignore it and make life more difficult; instead, quickly obey. Follow His leading. Don’t override the alarms so you can partake of the blessing, favor and protection that God has prepared for you.
Remember, God gave us peace for our protection. No matter what circumstances look like, always trust His inner peace. Let peace in your heart be your umpire and settle any questions you have in your mind.
Don’t repay evil for evil. Take the high road. Bless those who wrongfully use you. Seek to do good, show kindness, and you will see it come back as a blessing in your own life in return!
YOU CAN NOT BE DEFEATED
What you’re facing may seem bigger, stronger and more powerful, but deep down, don’t be intimidated. One touch of God’s favor can turn any situation around. You’ve got to know you cannot be defeated when God Almighty pours out His favor on your life!
You may be in a tough time, but don’t magnify your problem. Magnify your God. The bigger you make God, the smaller your problems will become. Brag on God’s goodness and move forward in His victory!
FULL LIGHT
It’s time to let the light shine in fully. Get rid of whatever is blocking the light and let God’s presence shine on you and light your life.
THE SAME SPIRIT
Rise up and declare by faith, “He whom the Son sets free is free indeed. I am restored and healed because the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in me!”
REFUSE TO WORRY
As you focus on God’s Word, you’ll drive out worry and fill your heart with faith and expectancy. You’ll experience His peace and joy and move forward into the blessings God has in store for you!

THE FULLNESS OF THE BLESSING
Don’t settle where you are. Your destiny is not determined by the economy, by your past, or what anyone else thinks or says. Your destiny is determined by Almighty God. He wants to overwhelm you with His goodness so you can walk in the fullness of the blessing!

CREATED FOR GREATNESS
The truth is, there is nothing average about you; but too many times we don’t realize who we are. We focus on our weaknesses or what we don’t have. We focus on the mistakes we’ve made or the family from which we’ve come. We end up settling for mediocrity when we were created for greatness!

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Zechariah 9:12, NIV
“Return to your fortress, you prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you.” – Zechariah 9:12, NIV
TODAY’S WORD: When things get difficult, it’s easy to want to give up. It’s easy to get down and discouraged. But, that’s not God’s plan for us. God wants us to be so full of hope, so full of expectancy that we just can’t help believing for the best. He wants us to be prisoners of hope! When you’re a prisoner of something, it’s like you’re chained to it. In other words, you can’t get away from it. I know people that are prisoners of fear, prisoners of worry, prisoners of doubt. You’ve heard them. “Nothing good ever happens to me.” “It’s never going to change. It’s just been too long.” No, you’re chained to the wrong thing. You need to break those chains and become a prisoner of hope. That means that no matter how long it’s taking, no matter how impossible it looks, our attitude should be, “I just can’t help it. I know it’s going to work out. I know I’m going to overcome. It may be taking a long time, but I know this too shall pass. It may be difficult, but I know that means I’m closer to my victory because I am a prisoner of hope!”
PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, today I choose to be a prisoner of hope. I choose to wrap myself in hope and attach myself to it! Thank You for everything You are doing in and through me in Jesus’ name. Amen.
TALK YOURSELF INTO IT
Instead of thinking of all the reasons why you can’t get well, why you can’t accomplish a dream, why your marriage is not going to last and talking yourself out of it, start talking yourself into it! “I can do all things through Christ.

RAINSTORM IS COMING
You’ve got to believe what you hear in your heart even when you see just the opposite. God is saying, “There’s about to be an abundance of favor in your life. The drought is coming to an end.

Through Faith And Patience
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: …imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. – Hebrews 6:12, NIV.
TODAY’S WORD: In our culture today, people are used to getting things right away. Some people say that we live in a “microwave” society. In other words, we’ve been programmed for immediacy. People don’t like to wait. But the scripture says, “It’s through faith and patience that we inherit God’s promises.” Sometimes, it’s easy for people to start out in faith. We declare, “God, I believe I’m going to accomplish my dreams. God, I believe I’m going to overcome this obstacle.” But, it gets harder when we have to walk in patience. When you pray, can you say, “God, I not only believe for big things but I trust Your timing? God, I’m not going to get discouraged if it doesn’t happen immediately. I’m not going to give up because it’s taken a week, a month or five years. I know the set time is already in my future, so I’m going to wait with faith and patience because I know that it’s on the way.” Remember, through faith and patience we inherit His promises. Trust His Word, trust His timing, and trust that your answer is on its way!
PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, today I declare that I trust You. I trust Your faithfulness. I trust Your goodness. I know that You are working things out in my favor and in Your timing. I declare that through faith and patience, I will inherit every promise You have for me in Jesus’ name! Amen.
When God places a promise in your heart, you have to come to the place where you believe it’s going to happen so strongly that nothing can talk you out of it.
STIR UP YOUR DREAMS
Just because it didn’t work out the way you had it planned doesn’t mean that God doesn’t have another plan. You cannot allow one disappointment or even a series of disappointments to convince you that your dream is over.

BLESS YOUR FUTURE
Too many people go around saying, “I’ll never get well.” “I’ll never get out of debt.” “It’s flu season. I’ll probably get it.” “This marriage is never going to last.” Then they wonder why they don’t see things turn around. It’s because they’re calling defeat into their future. They’re calling in mediocrity. Don’t let that be you!#HAROLDMAWELA #AFMAKASIA #DEVOTION #BLESSYOURFUTURE
ESTEEMING ONE ANOTHER
When we see others as valuable the way God sees them, we treat them carefully. We speak respectfully. We look for the good in others and honor them for who God made them to be. Sow good seeds into your relationships and see a harvest of blessing in every area of your life!

MAGNIFY THE LORD
So many people today waste time and energy talking about their problems and feeling sorry for themselves. That’s because they are magnifying their circumstances in their own mind and heart. But when you start magnifying the Lord by talking about Him and worshiping Him, you are making Him the main priority in your life and opening the door for Him to move on your behalf.

CONSIDER YOUR GOD
The faith that Abraham exercised opened the door for God to do mighty things in and through HIM. Today, what are you believing God for? Does it seem impossible? Has it taken a long time? Consider your God. Consider His Word. Consider His faithfulness.

ARE YOU STUCK WHERE GOD WAS?
Look for open doors and be willing to walk away from what’s stagnate. When God is moving us forward, and we try to stay where we are, there’s no grace for the old.
