Bitterness is deadly!!

Ephesian 4:31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.
Greetings from Genesis of Hope my dear brothers and sisters. I believe you are all doing well by the grace of God.
Today I would like to share with you a secret of a joyful and  peaceful life. In life we meet different people daily who have the ability to change our lives positively or negatively; and whatever the change they bring in our lives it is our decision to accept that negative change or refuse to accept it.
When people you relate with do you wrong, are you taking it in your heart and have a grudge and bitterness against them? Are you fighting with everyone around you because of the negative emotions in your heart ( bitterness).
The bible reminds us in Ephesian 4:31 that we should get rid of bitterness, rage, slander and all forms of malice.
Most a time we hold onto bitterness refusing to let g, declaring that I will never forgive until I die, "I have forgiven but i will never forget". The question is; was your destiny meant to be diverted by this person? Doctors have found that people who are bitter and have a lot of hatred in their hearts, have much more arthritis than those who are at peace. Similarly, they've discovered that those who have a lot of fear in their minds--worries, tension, phobias, etc.--have a lot more mental trouble and more stomach trouble, as well as more heart trouble. Are you ready for diseases like cancer, heart related diseases, and so many other disease that originates from bitterness? are you ready to waste your life just because someone did you wrong?
My brothers and sisters, life is sweet, don't waste your time, your life holding someone in the prison of your heart not knowing the person in prison is YOU!!
Today decide to let the bitterness go, let the anger, malice, hatred go, it is not worthy it, Yes let it go, let it go, let it go today.
Jesus loves you, He died for you, while you were a sinner, He forgave you. Take that step and forgive all who trespasses against you so that you also can be forgiven.

Prayer: Oh God my father, take away my bitterness and give me your peace, in Jesus name Amen!!

Have a sunshine day.
Shalom and be blessed.

God's Has a Plan for you!

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Beloved children of GOD, good afternoon to you. Today i bring to you a message of HOPE. 

As we walk in the path of life, we encounter different experiences of discouragements, disgrace, shame, defeat and the list goes on. As human beings we hate these situations which brings us down to our lowest point. We hate situations which brings us to the valley, we only love to be at the mountain top of our lives.

Today God is reminding us that HE have good thoughts/plans that HE thinks about us, thoughts of peace and not evil to give us an expected end (hope for the future).

Beloved, what else do we want GOD to tell us? What do you want God to do for you? What is that important thing that you desire? There is nothing that is impossible to our father God,  He is has a road map for our lives, He has a timetable for our destiny, He has a plan for our future. If only we will walk in His promises.

Let us decide today to surrender our lives to our father GOD, so that we can walk in His promises.

Prayer: Oh God my father, i surrender my life to you, so that i can enjoy the plans you have for my destiny.
May God bless you all as you continue to serve HIM,  Amen!!

Seek Ye First The Kingdom of GOD!!

^{Mathew 6:33} But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Praise the Lord my dears brothers and sisters, I believe you are all doing well by the grace of God.  Greetings from the Genesis of Hope. 

Today let us remind ourselves on the Agenda of GOD! What is that which touches GOD the most? What is the priority of GOD? What is the purpose of GOD for our existence in this world?
My brothers and sisters we all have our needs, problems, issues that concerns us the most, BUT our loving father GOD also has a problem. The problem of God is bigger than our own because His main concern is the salvation of mankind. His main problem is mine and your corporation in winning the lost souls for Christ. 
And according to Mathew 6:33, God has promised to bless us with our need, IF and only IF we will seek HIS Kingdom first, whatever concerns you will be given to you, be it job, a child, education, marriage, financial breakthrough, anything and everything will be added unto you, BUT IF you will seek first the Kingdom of GOD. This scripture has a condition and a promise, Therefore my dear brothers and sisters, lets us not waste more time meditating on our problems, complaining and murmuring, crying and cursing. Some problems only needs your commitment in the Kingdom of GOD.
 Mark 16:15-16^, And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
¹⁶ He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 
This is a great commission to every Christian not just pastors, bishops, evangelists etc. This commission is for us all, wherever you are, you can share the Good News, plant a seed and that way you will be a solution to GOD's problem. Our father GOD can not come down from heaven and start preaching, but you and I are His vessels to be used for this purpose.
Are you ready to be used by GOD? Are ready to start your journey to your divine destiny? Are you living inline with the purpose of GOD for your life? If not start today.
Prayer: Oh God my father, I am your vessel and I am ready to be used to preach your word, use me God, in Jesus name, Amen!!
And the peace, love and grace of GOD be with us now and forever
Amen!!

Never Give Up!

This is the day that the Lord has made, i will rejoice and be glad in it! Psalm 118:14
Beloved, in life we pass through valleys and mountains, rainy days and sunny days, ups and downs. And we find ourselves at our high and low points in life. The attitude we have during our valley days, our rainy days and down days will determine our strength and character we will potray in our mountains days and sunny days. Where are you now? dont give up, your mountain days are coming where you won't shed any more tears, where you will look back and be laugh and be able to encourage and lift up friends and family who are still climbing the mountain.
Have a blessed day.

Ambush

“Then you shall rise from the AMBUSH and seize the city, for the Lord your God will deliver it into your hand.” Joshua 8:7. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! We cannot expect to have victory over d enemy by running away; we must lay ambush for them.
Ambush is a military strategy which means to lurk, or to lie in wait in a concealed position with d purpose of attacking an enemy by surprise or to attack to a point when temporarily undefended.
Beloved, every believer who wants to experience victory in spiritual warfare must learn d ropes & understand what it takes to defeat d enemy on all fronts. We are commanded to fight & not to evade d conflict. Israel had been defeated, but now God instructed them to set up an ambush. It’s time to launch a counter-attack! It’s time to draw d enemy out of their hiding places, encircle, & attack them on every side. God has promised to give us victory! What is yo Ai? Weeping & complaining won’t change yo situation. Ambush them & utterly destroy their power. How? By praying more! Confessing d Word more! An increasing Faith! Fasting more often! Praise & Worship! Obedience! Sharing d Gospel more! Forgiving more! Attending services more! Giving to d Lord! Pressing forward & not giving up! There is nothing greater than having God committed to always be present to fight against our enemy; He has never lost a battle! Yo victory is guaranteed! “The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.” Deuteronomy 28:7. Prayer: Lord Jesus, d battles rage. I thank U for Yo promises to fight for me. I rest in Yo presence, Amen.

Midnight prayer, The secret of Success in Life.

“So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai; and Joshua chose thirty thousand mighty men of valor and sent them away by night.” Joshua 8:3. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! To have power over d forces of darkness, we must be alert & active at d night hours.
The night hours are d time of intense darkness & demonic activities. If we can rise up to pray, meditate on His Word, & worship God at night, we‘ll be much closer to our breakthroughs. In other words, d night time is a period of total victory.

Beloved, there are some mountains that cannot be removed unless we pray at night; there are problems that would prove insurmountable unless u forms d habit of praying at night. God did almost everything important at midnight. The secrets of Jesus impactful ministry was d all night prayer. There are levels u can never attain in d spirit without mastering d art of praying in d midnight. Are u not tired of asking others to pray for u without getting result when u can wake up & be a prayer warrior too? Are u not tired of all d nightly nightmares & attacks? There are lots of activities taken place in d spiritual realm, and believers also must be active participants. Praying for one hour at night has great effects on d operations of d dark kingdom, much more all night prayer. U must wake up to render evil arrows, enchantments, curses & incantations against u arrows, ineffective. Reduce yo sleep! Make up yo mind that nothing will interfere with yo nightly appointment with God. Repent of yo sins! Receive d Baptism of d Holy Spirit! Be determined. Give d devil a technical knockout by praying at night. Yo victory is guaranteed! “And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.” Luke 6:12. Prayer: I shall excel in d midnight battle, in Jesus name. Hav a Triumphant Tuesday!

U r unstoppable!

Your Turning Point

“.. . . Therefore the name of that place has been called the Valley of Achor to this day.” Joshua 7:26. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! God is not limited by yo circumstances; He’s only limited by yo unbelief.

The Valley of Achor means “trouble, or disaster,” It is not a place anyone would want to be - a hot, dry, desert location. It was a place of shame, death, loneliness & emptiness. Years later, however, it’s given a new meaning-a door of hope-Hosea 2:15.

Beloved, have u ever had a time in yo life where u felt surrounded by struggle, pain, & loneliness? Get ready for yo turnaround! Joseph went from d pit to d palace, from d prison to a prince. There is a time appointed for yo release. It is now! No matter what u are facing, rest assured, when u can’t, God can. Until God stepped in, Hannah was still barren, & Lazarus was still in d grave. Where once there was defeat God gives victory, where once there was disaster He gives new hope. He is ready to bring u out of yo dead situation & put life back where things were dead! It doesn't matter how long; d power of God is still able to turn it around. He’s done it before & God can do it with u. The news of yo victory will go round. Those who have abandoned u will struggle to associate with u. Those who refuse to identify with u bcos of yo trials will broadcast yo breakthrough. Have faith in God! Keep praying! Keep sowing into d things of God! Be determined! Praise Him like Paul & Silas! Believe His Word -Words have power. Speak d word! Prophesy d word! Declare d Word! Yo situation awaits instruction, If u fail to give order, it will remain like that. If u can speak, yo situation will be sorted. It’s not over for u! Have u met Jesus? “For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” Psalm 30:5. Prayer: Lord Jesus, arise by Yo Power, & turns my situations around, Amen.

Hav a Fruitful Friday!

Hell is Real

“Then all Israel stoned him, and after they had stoned the rest, they BURNED them.” Joshua 7:25b. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! Death by fire is a horrible, awful, & painful way to die!
Some have said, "How can a just, loving God send anyone to hell?" God gave man a choice to do right or wrong, go to heaven or hell. The choice is ours. God gets no pleasure from people being lost eternally & He sends no one to hell.

Beloved, God has given us all d freedom of choice, and what we choose in this life will determined our destiny. The Lake of fire is d destiny of those whose names are not written in d book of life. Hell was designed for Satan & his demons, not people. God loves u so much that Jesus died so u wouldn’t spend eternity in hell. Therefore, if u choose to go to Hell instead of coming to Jesus, u choose to go to a place where u are not even wanted. Sin brought sudden death to Achan & his family, and finally, they were burned. Friend, if u missed Heaven u will cry! Hell is a place full of memory, & remorse; it is a place of wailing, suffering, torment & darkness. A place of unquenchable fire, thirst & unanswered prayer! The tragedy is that many will spend all of their eternity in Hell! Whatever it is in life that would prevent u from being saved is not worth going to Hell over! Whether it is a relationship, a pet sin, family, friends, pride or whatever it is must be cut out of yo life so that u can get to God! When we repent of our sins and come to Jesus, He forgives us & cancels our reservation in hell, and makes a new reservation for us in heaven. Come to Jesus today! Are u saved, be motivated to reach out to & pray for lost people. Heaven is as wonderful as hell is so terrible. Where will u spend yo Eternity? "If anyone's name was not found within the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." Rev. 20:15. Prayer: Lord Jesus, give me d grace to finish my journey here on earth & to make Heaven, Amen.

Hav a Triumphant Thursday!

Jesus loves u!

'The sins of the Fathers'

“Then all Israel stoned him, and after they had stoned the rest, they burned THEM.” Joshua 7:25b. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! Every new generation has d capacity in Christ to break d cycle of generational sin.

There is something called d law of d generational harvest-it says that u will reap what u sow. It also says that others will also reap what u sow, especially yo children & grandchildren, yo family & immediate descendants.

Beloved, u can pass down either a curse or a blessing, to yo children, grand-children, and great-grand-children. Abraham passed down d sin of lying to Isaac, who passed it on to his deceiving son Jacob. Jonathan was a righteous child who died as a result of Saul’s sin. Achan sinned & his family paid with their lives. It is recorded that d disasters that has befallen d Kennedy family was a result of d sins of one of d grandfathers. Sin always has consequences. Sinful behavioral patterns can be passed on through d generations such as: divorce, addictions, sexual sins, emotional disorders, depression, bitterness, negativity, prejudice, poverty, failure, health problems & worry. Yet, there is still hope. Take yo sin, guilt & yo failures to Jesus. Thru Christ we can overcome d effects of generational sin. Confess yo sins to God, & also d sins of yo fathers. Pray and set d example of righteousness for yo children d best way u can. Teach them from God’s word, u will be laying a solid foundation for d rest of their lives. U can’t go back & change d past, but u can ask God to help u make right choices in d present. “Do not hold against us the sins of the fathers; may your mercy come quickly to meet us, for we are in desperate need.” Psalm 79:8. Prayer: Thank u Jesus for forgiven my sins! Deliver me today from d consequences of generational sins, Amen.

WHAT IS IN THE NAME

“Joshua said, “Why have you brought this TROUBLE on us? The Lord will bring trouble on you today.” Joshua 7:25a. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! Who a person is can be defined by their name.

A study of Bible names often reveals much about d personality of those people- Abraham means “Father of a multitude.” Jacob means “Trickster.” Jabez means “Sorrow.” Achan means “One who Trouble.” The name u bear will shape yo destiny

Beloved, whether or not we realize it, our names carry a great deal of meaning. It can determine yo success or failures in life. There is a link between yo name & yo problem. Is there any relationship between yo behavior & yo name? Have they turned out to reflect d life u’ve lived? Yo name can release or divert d blessings of God. Parents often gave children names that described d parent’s hopes & future expectations. However, there is a spirit behind every name. Names influence d lives & destinies of people. An evil name would bring an evil manifestation into one’s life. When an evil name is in place: there will be constant night feeding & dream harassment; regular disappointments; unending trials; one’s progress will be slowed down; denial of rightful benefit; unexplainable hatred & rejection; lack of direction & focus in life; and, inability to fulfill one’s destiny. There are many who are in d valley of frustration today as a result of their names. Do u know d meaning of yo names? Does yo name honor God or idol? God had to changed some people names to enable them fulfill their destinies-Abraham, Sarah, Jacob, e.t.c. Today, desire a new life! Know d meaning of yo names. Call unto Jesus today, He is able to deliver u from d evil names. “He said, "Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed." Gen. 32:28. Prayer: Lord Jesus, reveal to me how my names is affecting my life & deliver me, Amen.

Fighting Temptations.

“When I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonian garment, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. And there they are, hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, with the silver under it.” Joshua 7:21. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! Though it is not a sin to be tempted, it is a sin to give in to temptation.

Temptations come to us all on a daily basis - it may be food, sex, money, pride, or anything. We all have our weaknesses, but d Bible tells us that there is no temptation that we cannot resist with God's help.
Beloved, some of d biggest battles u will deal with in life involve overcoming temptation. Graveyards & prisons are filled with people who were too proud to run away from temptations. God has a specific goal & purpose for us. He has called us to a life of victory, don't let anything stand in yo way! Satan’s intention is to cause us to deviate from that destiny &, in so doing, to frustrate d purpose of God. Anything that has d power to lure u away or distracted from that purpose is temptation. It is different from a trial. A temptation is an inducement to commit some evil or disobey God, while a trial is simply a time of difficulty in a person's life. Satan wants to use both to destroy us. But d Lord allows temptation & trial to strengthen our faith & teach us to depend on Him. Every sin begins as a desire; d desire is d thought. The longer u thinks about it, d more likely u will move toward fulfilling yo desire. Be prepared for it. Avoid places, people, & things that tempts. Be careful what u see, touch, hear, smell or taste. Ask d Lord to give u discernment. Resist with d Word of truth. Repent quickly when u fail. Run away from temptation."Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak." Matthew 26:41. Prayer: Lord Jesus, give me d strength to flee temptation and run straight into Yo arms, Amen. 

Hav a Fruitful Monday!

Power to start afresh.

“Now Joshua said to Achan, “My son, I beg you, give glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession to Him, and tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me.” Joshua 7:19. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! God is merciful bcos He loves u and wants to give u a fresh start.

When we sin, we experience guilt, shame, and depression. But when we come to Jesus and confess our sins, we experience cleansing, joy & healing! And God is glorified when we humble ourselves in His presence.

Beloved, there are four essential steps in our relationship with God: confession; repentance; faith; and, obedience. God created us for fellowship. But sometimes, d clay gets marred in d hands of d Potter-Jer. 18. Our past is often full of mistakes & burdens: things we did wrong, embarrassing times we desperately want to forget, hurtful things that others have done to us, too. Still, He has a plan for us. Every year, we try to make resolutions that are never kept. We can’t do it on our own. We need God to help us. Have u ever wished u could go back and start all over again in yo relationship with God? He is given us power to start afresh with Him today. Never throw yo life away over a flaw, a mistake, or a sin. God can reshape u, heal u and put u back together again. What must we do to start afresh? Stop looking back at d past. Focus on yo present. Today is a gift to erase all d ugly memories of yesterday. Learn from yesterday’s mistakes. Keep company with d right people. Refuse to concentrate on d guilt & fear of d past. Have an encounter with Jesus. Repent & confess all sins. Yo confession must be specific and d repentance must be total. Repentance is to be a continuing part of our life! Deal with pride. Be a student of d Word & Prayer. Believe God for a new beginning & look up to d better future God has for u. “Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.” Proverbs 28:13. Prayer: Father, forgive me for all my sins; empower me by Yo Grace to start afresh today, Amen.

Achan in the camp

“Then he brought his household man by man, and ACHAN the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.” Joshua 7:18. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! Until u recognize & deal with d enemy within, it will be impossible to have power over d external enemy.

Many are ready to pray, fast, give sacrificially, &, work for God, but are equally determined not to give up certain characters flaws. God cannot dwell in d midst of sin. In fact, He will withdraw Himself from d presence of His people as long as they continue to operate in it.

Beloved, could we be d one holding back d great blessings, healings, and deliverance of God for our lives, family & generation? The Word of God always works and if something is not working in our lives, there is a reason for it. As long as we would obey d Lord there would be nothing that could stop us from taking possession of all that God said we could have. The only thing that could stop us would be ourselves. Samson refused to deal with his lust, and it became his downfall! What is that secret sin causing us, our people, & our church from experiencing victory? Would we harden our hearts and refuse to repent? Achan stopped d blessing of God from not only flowing out into his life, his family, but also from flowing out into d children of Israel. How do u know when d enemy is inside: anger; unforgiveness; pride; stealing; failing to control yo appetites; worry, lust; doubt & anxiety; bitterness; when d flesh is in control of yo life; Hatred; secret sin; fear; disobedience, e.t.c. Sin separates us from God and if it separates us from God then it separates us from His blessings. Today, if u will turn away from yo sin & come to Jesus, He will do a miracle. What is d Achan in yo life? Get rid of d sin by confessing it. Get rid of d enemy within and d enemy without cannot hurt us. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9. Prayer: Arrows of iniquity & secret sin in my life, melt away by d Blood of Jesus.

What Legacy are you leaving behind?

“Then he brought his household man by man, and ACHAN the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.” Joshua 7:18. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! How u live yo life here on earth will determine how u are remembered when u are gone.
Achan brought shame to his family, his tribe & his nation. All of his children, his wife and everything he owned were destroyed bcos of his greedy character. Years from now, when someone mentions yo name, what memories will be invoked?

Beloved, yo character will continue to speak for good or evil after yo life on earth has ended. What pictures come to mind when u think of Achan, Ananias & Sapphira, Gehazi, and Lot’s wife? God has given us d freedom of choice, but we must live by d consequences of our decisions in life. The decisions u make today contributes to d kind of legacy u are leaving behind. How will those u know and love say u’ve influenced their lives? We live in a day when many people would rather have silver & gold than a good name. Yo reputation is what u try to live up to; while Character is what u are. Reputation is what precedes u; Character is what remains when u’re gone. Reputation is made in a moment; Character is built in a lifetime. Reputation is what men say about u at your funeral; Character is what is said about u before d throne of God. 

Reputation is what men think u are. Character is what God knows u to be. How will yo relatives, friends, neighbors, & tribe, remembered u when u are gone? Friend, live for Jesus today. Be a student of His Word and faithful in yo prayer life. Remain pure & holy. Guard yo heart & mind against sin. Life itself is short, but our legacy lasts for eternity! What u do in this life will echo in eternity! “A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.” Pr. 22:1. Prayer: O Lord, Help me to build a lasting legacy that is worth being remembered, a legacy that directs those who come after me to follow You. Amen.

Are you stealing from God?

“…There is an accursed thing in your midst, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the accursed thing from among you.” Joshua 7:13b. We take ourselves out from under God’s protection when we chose to disobey Him.

The word accursed means to be under a curse, ill-fated, doomed for something bad. U cannot attack d enemy successfully when u are withholding what God asks u to let go.

Beloved, how do we expect to win d battles of life when we have deliberately stolen from God-Mal. 3:8-12? Many Christian are aware of God’s instructions concerning first fruits, tithes, seeds, e.t.c & yet we continue to disobey Him. There are some things that we cannot touch, take, participate in, or be around. There are some things that must be separated and given as d Lord’s if we are willing to be victorious in life. Are u mixing d things of God with yo own? Are u eating His tithes, are u denying Him of His first fruit, or His offerings? Are u burying yo time, gifts & talents? All that we have in our possession belongs to God. Is it possible that some of our struggles are caused by refusal to do things God’s way? Are u addicted to worldly music & entertainment that glorifies sex, drugs & living for d devil? Is there any image, artifact, souvenir, e.t.c that doesn’t glorify God in yo home? Bringing an accursed thing into yo home will bring a curse. Search yo homes to find d things that could bring a curse to u, family and home. Be obedient! Come clean. Admit yo sin & make restitution. Look to Him for victory again. “But if you carefully obey his voice and do all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.” Exod. 23:22. Prayer: O Lord, I repent from everything that I have done to aid d enemy, Amen.

You Can Recover From a Fall

GET UP, sanctify the people, and say, ‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, because thus says the Lord God of Israel:” Joshua 7:13a. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! Disappointment is painful, but it does not mean that we are failures!

Watch a little baby learning to walk. He falls over many times, but every time he gets up, with a smile on his face, & off he goes again. Falling is part of life. But we are not meant to stay down. We were born to get up again!

Beloved, u just need a hand to lift u up to a new life, new hope, new beginning, and new meaning. U need to reach out and take d hand of Jesus and let Him lift u up. Jesus wants to bring u out of that situation u are in. He knows yo strengths and yo weaknesses. So u have been misunderstood? So yo dreams are shattered? So u have been rejected & disappointed? So u have been betrayed by loved ones? So u have fallen into that habitual sin again? But, u don’t have to stay down, and continue... feeling like a failure and a victim! God has promised that when we fall, we will rise again. Get up, get going, keep at it, never quit & never relent. If u stay down u may begin to feel sorry for yoself. Then, self-pity grows & getting back up become even more difficult. God has never given up on u and He never will! Has d devil caused u to lose yo song of victory? U’ve got to wipe yo tears, & trust God to give u a new song today! Watch what u say. Speak d Word of God & not of discouragement. Think positive. If we are not careful negative thoughts can destroy our lives! Don’t blame God! Never be afraid to try something new. Have u met Jesus? He is just a prayer away! “Thus saith the Lord, Shall they fall, and not arise? Shall he turn away and not return?” Jeremiah 8:4. Prayer: Lord, I thank u that u are d lifter up of my head, and u are my deliverer when I fall.

Amen.

U are an overcomer!

When God tells u to shut up!

“So the Lord said to Joshua: “Get up! Why do you lie thus on your face?” Joshua 7:10. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! We need to talk to God in prayer, but we also need to listen.

Hearing God in d midst of our storms can be a challenge. We need to be silent before Him, and receive instruction, rather than talking/murmuring all d time.

Beloved, our mouth confesses d contents of d heart. When u are tempted to shout about d troubles in yo life, go ahead and do so, but then make time for silence afterward, to get quiet in yo soul, and listen for d voice of d Lord, watch for His guiding hand to lead u through yo storm. And remember that it is hard to hear an answer if u are doing all d talking. It is in silence we have peace. It is silence we have true intimacy with our Creator & renew our strength. God commanded Joshua to be silent. When does God ask us to shut up? Accusing Him for something we did wrong; Praying outside His will-1 Sam. 16:1; When it is time for action & not words-Ex. 14:15; When we are complaining; & Finally, when He wants to speak through someone else. Maybe u are faced with a challenging time right now. Maybe d issues of yo life have stolen yo peace so that u are having difficulty focusing upon anything but yo problems. Stop talking, take a breath, silence yo thoughts and yo voice, look up, & wait for Heaven to give u d answer. He may not give u an audible answer, but if u will listen & pay attention, perhaps He will show u a way forward through yo problems. As we enter into silence, we are entering d presence of our Father. Do u need to commit yo life to Christ today? He is just a prayer away! God still speaks, even today. Are we listening? “My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.” Psalm 62:5. Prayer: Lord Jesus, Help me to be silent, and listen for Yo guiding voice, even in d midst of my storms, Amen. 

Hav a Breakthrough Thursday! 

U‘ll laugh last!

"Why Bad Things Happens to Good People?"

And Joshua said, “Alas, Lord God, WHY have You brought this people over the Jordan at all—to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? ….” Joshua 7:7. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! Why do bad things happen to good people? Why is there so much hurt & pain in d world and in our lives?
Why do innocent children die? Why do thousands starve to death? Why do natural disasters come & destroy? Why is there disease? If God is just & loving how could God permit His people to be afflicted with needless pain & hardship?

Beloved, it has been said that all of us occupy only three positions in life: Getting ready to go into a storm, being in d middle of a storm, or just coming out of a storm. God isn't offended when we ask questions in our despair. He wants us to come to Him when we're confused. So bring yo heartfelt questions and ask Him to help u understand. But be prepared to accept His answers, even if they're not what u expected to hear. And whatever u don't understand, acknowledge His authority, knowing that He loves u, and is able to give u mercy and grace to help in time of need. Friend, d problems we face will either overwhelm or develop us. Thus, d path of joy is determined by how we respond to them. Determine d reason for d storm-Maybe a bad decision u made? Bad advice u received? Sin? Or perhaps u are not growing in faith & practice, and God needs yo attention. Deal with d problem; u cannot solve any problem by ignoring it! Confess yo sins. Refuse to be bitter. Praise God & believe He will turn things around. Let His Word speaks promises to u every day. Read & take those promises to heart. Get on yo knees & seek Him asking Him for guidance every step of d way. Yo faith in God’s promises is yo source of strength in times of trouble. He has not abandoned u, and yo sun can still shine again. Whatever trouble u’re going through, God is always with u. “And call on me in the day of trouble: I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.” Ps. 50:15. Prayer: O God of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego, appear in my situation today, in Jesus name.

Hav a Revived Wednesday!
U will overcome!
 Shalom.

TO ARREST UNPROFITABLE LATENESS IN MARRIAGE PRAYER POINTS

1. For spinsters and bachelors who feel that obtaining the right partner is getting rather late. The best way to arrest delay in marriage is to engage in constant wrestling bouts with the enemy and to call back all the benefits you would have gained if you had gotten married earlier. God is waiting for you to fight it out with your enemy.

2. No word of God shall lack power of fulfillment! God’s words are always backed by His authority and we know His words cannot return to Him void. We serve a God that cannot lie. His dreams, vision and words concerning our lives will surely come to pass. God is the one that instituted marriage and He performed the first wedding ceremony in Genesis chapter 2. God has a man for every woman and if you feel that you have lost God’s perfect will for your life, don’t forget that for every Vashti there is an Esther.

3. Lateness in marriage can come as a result of collective captivity, manipulations of household wickedness, spirit husband/wife and other anti-marriage forces. “In His time God makes all things beautiful” (Ecclesiastes 3:11). The God that makes all things beautiful, will step into your situation, break down every wall of parti¬tion between you and your God-ordained partner (Ephesians 2:14) and gather you together by His Spirit (Isaiah 34:16; Ephesians 2:13). Our God is faithful! He never comes late. He will hasten His words (concerning your marriage) to perform it. (Jeremiah 1:12).

CONFESSIONS
Habakkuk 2:3 says, “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.”
Isaiah 34:16 says, “Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.

Philip. 2:9-10 says, “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;”

Col. 2:13 says, “And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;”

Rev. 12:11 says, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”

Book Review

BOOK TITLE: Entrepreneurship: A Practical Approach to Financial Freedom

YEAR: 2012
LANGUAGE: English
PAGES: 174

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Elisha Msengi Edson is husband to Miriam Loivotoki and father to Emir Mercy. He studied Accountancy at the Institute of Finance Management from 2002 to 2005 where he also served as the president of the students' organization. He currently lives in Iringa where he runs a company dealing with agribusiness and agroforestry. He is also a Bachelor of Counselling Psychology student at Tumaini University-Iringa.

ABOUT THE BOOK
The book combines together the author’s vast experience in doing business, professional experience, and knowledge gained from an extensive reading of books on business, entrepreneurship, and finance. Unlike most books on the subject; the book teaches biblical and practical insights relevant to the Tanzanian/African audience. It also incorporates psychological explanations behind some financial problems facing people and their solution. The book is primarily targeted to college students and graduates but it is a must read for anyone aspiring to be a successful entrepreneur.

Overconfidence

“And they returned to Joshua and said to him, “Do not let all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and attack Ai. Do not weary all the people there, for the people of Ai are few.” Joshua 7:3. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! Never under-estimate d power of d enemy.

How many times in life have we boasted, thinking all was well and life was good, only to take a sudd...en fall? When a person is so sure of himself that he becomes careless about little things that may pose a threat!
Over-confidence often paves d way for a fall.

Beloved, d instant we think we are strong enough and have control over d flesh, that’s when we are headed for a fall. Pride consumes us. Pride tells us we don’t need God. It separates us from God & destroys us! Pride & over confidence reduced Samson to a common prisoner. A proud person becomes irritated when corrected for mistakes. A proud person accepts praise for things over which he or she has no control. Pride will not admit mistakes. Pride refuses to take counsel and to learn from other people. Pride often shows itself in competition with other people. Have u ever witnessed someone who seemed to have it all together suddenly tumble down from their high position? Beware of pride. Pride has killed many giants, and its d root of many sins. One way to guard against it is by remaining in Jesus, reading His Word, talking to Him in prayer and admitting our need for His grace on a daily basis. Allow Him to lead & guide u before u takes any serious decision in life! Associate with Godly people. Let God revive u today. Don’t be like d Titanic. Beware of feeling & thinking that nothing can stop u, that u are unsinkable. Don't let pride escort u to untimely grave & hell. Humble yoself and lay yo pride in d dust. “Therefore, whoever thinks he stands must be careful not to fall!” 1 Cor. 10:12. Prayer: Father, I need Yo grace in order to stand firm. Keep me aware that I face a real enemy, and need to face each day with a renewed dependence on U. Amen.

Hav a Testimony Tuesday!

U r God’s Best!

Shalom.

God is love but Hates Sin

“But the children of Israel committed a trespass regarding the accursed things,…..; so the anger of the Lord burned against the children of Israel.” Joshua 7:1. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! God is a loving God, but He is also an angry God when it comes to sin.

God's anger was raised against d entire camp of Israel. Many assume that since God is a God of love He would never get angry at anything or anybody. God does get angry, He gets angry at sin. He is not only a God of love, but of holiness & justice & wrath.

Beloved, God's holiness cannot tolerate sin. Sin offends and separates us from Him. Because He is holy, He cannot ignore, excuse, or tolerate sin as though it didn't matter. Sin cuts people off from Him, forming a wall to isolate God from d people He loves. He is a good God, but He is also a just God! He cannot just wink at sin and let it pass by unpunished. He will react in wrath against d sins of humanity & those who fail to repent and get in a right relationship with Him will feel d fury of God's wrath in Hell! People who die with their life of sin separate themselves eternally from God. He wants them to live with Him forever in Heaven, but He cannot take them into His holy presence unless their sin is removed. Have u confessed your sin to God, allowing Him to remove it? The Lord can save u if u turns to him today. His anger was released upon Jesus Christ on d cross. Jesus took yo punishments upon Himself. He suffered once & for all so that u will never experience d wrath of God over sin. Why don’t u humbly repent of yo sins & invite Jesus into yo life today? Begin a new walk with God! Those who are saved by d grace of God stand under d umbrella of that Grace, forever sheltered & protected from d terrible wrath of the Almighty. Are u saved by His Grace, or expecting His wrath? Sin is a deadly disease! “For the wages of sin is death.” Romans 6:23.

Prayer: Father, deliver me from d power of sin, Amen.

Hav a Blessed Monday!

U r saved to safe others!

Shalom.

Are You Building To Last or To Crash?

“… “Cursed be the man before the Lord who rises up and builds this city Jericho; he shall lay its FOUNDATION with his firstborn, and with his youngest he shall set up its gates.” Joshua 6:26. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! What kind of foundation are u laying? Are u building to last or to crash?

The foundation is d most important part of a building. It is d part on which d whole building rests. It has to be solid. The height & strength of a building is determined by d foundation.

Beloved, every one of us is a builder and our life is like a house. The storms of life will come upon every house; d foundation is what makes one to stand/fall when d storms of life come. How far an individual will go in life is dependent on his/her foundation. Hiel of Bethel built his foundation on cursed Jericho, which later destroyed his sons-1 Kings 16:34. Many are suffering today due to a faulty foundation. How do we recognized a faulty foundation: Lack of spiritual growth; Lack of understanding of oneself; Resistance to miracles; Problematic career; Poor health; Confusion & frustration; Fear & worries; Bad habits; Inability to resist temptation; Failure to receive & flow in d Holy Spirit; Continuous sorrow & grief; Chronic hopelessness; Lack of confidence in anybody; Withdrawal from people; Suicide tendency; Bitterness; Struggling; Poverty; Aimlessness; Marital turbulence; e.t.c. The good news is that as a born again, spirit-filled Christian, our foundation is Christ. The faulty foundation of your life can be repaired. Carry out physical & spiritual research on yo foundation-d identity of yo parents? Yo family name? Character traits? Family idols? e.t.c. Repentance & Forgiveness. Renounce & break evil ancestral covenants. Seek total deliverance. “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” Psalm 11:3. Prayer: Lord Jesus, deliver me from foundational bondage, Amen.


Hav a Super Friday!

Do not rebuild Jericho

“Then Joshua charged them at that time, saying, “Cursed be the man before the Lord who rises up and builds this city Jericho; ...” Joshua 6:26. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! Moving forward is walking where He desires us to walk, and not going back where we used to be.


Why should we rebuild what God has destroyed in our lives? Rebuilding Jericho can destroy one’s future. Going back to rebuild Jericho isn’t d way forward. There is already a curse on whoever goes back to rebuild it. We must not be tempted to go back.
Beloved, have u ever found yoself at a place in life where d way forward looks hard, so u want to turn around and go back to where u were? Have u ever been delivered from an addiction, only to go back to d same? U’ve tried to move forward in yo career or a relationship or yo walk with Christ, yet in d process things have gotten harder rather than easier. And u then realize that to continue to move forward, it’s going to require more out of u than u want to give. We must not rebuild d Jericho of repeating past sins. We must not rebuild d Jericho of bad attitude. We must not rebuild d Jericho of unforgiving spirit, idolatry, addiction, pride, strife, hatred, jealousy, depression & anger. Sin is a deceiver, it is a killer and it is dangerous! Do not let it get a foothold in yo life, but root it out, whatever d cost or d pain. Sin will try to side track us from our onward progress. We may stumble or sometimes slow down but as long as we keep on going we will make it. It’s not an easy road but we can make it. Going forward leads us into freedom & life. Going back plunges us into slavery & death. Keep praying, daily reading & studying d Bible. Keep racing towards yo DESTINY. Be focus on that last mile bcos heaven awaits us. Don’t be tempted to go back & rebuild Jericho, there is nothing there but curses and death! March on! “For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor." Galatians 2:18. Prayer: Father, grant me d strength, to stand firm in d freedom of Jesus Christ, that I may not return to d slavery of sin. Amen.

God's Grace Is Sufficient For Us

2 Corinthians 12:7-10

New International Version (NIV) 7 or because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Calvary greetings brethren from Genesis of Hope! Our scripture today from 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, reminds us that GOD’s grace is sufficient for us. What are you afraid of? Why are you worried? What makes you lose hope and give up? What is making your face to frown instead of smile? The word of God is bringing hope to us, that HIS grace is sufficient for us, for HIS power is made perfect in weakness. Beloved I know we encounter hardship in our day to day life; we experience thorns in our lives. What is a thorn in our flesh? Thorn in the flesh" is an expression for something that is painful and long-lasting something that makes you unhappy, something that makes you to give up and lose hope. Thorns in one’s life can be problems at workplace, marital problems, rebellious children, late marriage, bareness and the list can go on and on. Don’t despair and don’t give up because GOD, knows your name and HE promised never to leave you nor forsake you; and above all HE promised you that HIS grace is sufficient for you. Therefore delight in your weakness, you hardship, your persecutions and difficulties. For when you are weak, then you are strong in HIM.

Have a great day. Shalom.

You Can Be Released From Curses

“Then Joshua charged them at that time, saying, “CURSED be the man before the Lord who rises up and builds this city Jericho;...” Joshua 6:26. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! The foundation of Jericho was good, but trouble started when a curse was issued against it.


Curses are invisible barrier that keeps people or things away from what God has for them. It has long lasting effects, running from generation to generation. The curse on Jericho was not broken till 300-500 years after it was issued.

Beloved, if u allow a curse to remain upon yo life everything will become sour and bitter. Many are like d city of Jericho, beautiful on d outside but unfruitful inside. There is no curse without a demon attached to it. And d person operating under a curse is easy to recognize: frustration; difficulty in making progress; wrong decisions; dreams of retrogression; addiction; oppression; poverty; sickness; depression; e.t.c. A lesson here is that not only can individuals or families be cursed, but communities & cities can equally be cursed. Virtually everyone there will suffer from affliction brought about by d curse. But, u, can break d curse over yo life & community and set everyone there free like Elisha did. Another lesson is that any curse placed by a man of God can be broken by another man of God who has a higher anointing. Jesus is d bondage breaker. Meet Him today and every curse will be cancelled. Is there any curse upon your life? Sin allows curses to operate. Repent. Pray until it is removed and u will begin to lead a blessed life. Blessings will flow and curses will cease. Investigate yo past & ancestral history; Prayer & fasting; Pleading d blood of Jesus & confessing d word of God’ Live in Holiness. “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”, Gal. 3:13. Prayer: Let all curses issued against me be converted to blessing, in Jesus name. Have a Wonderful Wednesday! U r d Best! Shalom

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

Shalom, my dear brothers and sisters. We should surely give thanks to our loving FATHER GOD for giving us good health, fresh air to breath, food and shelter. What have we given GOD to deserve this? When you complain about things not going well in your life, just meditate on the good things that GOD has done to your life.

Welcome to Genesis of Hope.

Genesis means the origin or mode of formation of something and Hope means feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen.

Therefore at Genesis of Hope by the help of GOD we have the passion to bring hope to the hopeless, to bring faith where there is doubt, to bring joy where there is sadness, to encourage and lift a downcast soul.
How do we do this? By sharing the word of GOD, words of hope and encouragement.

Pastor's Corner

By Pastor Bright Adeyeye

“So the people shouted when the priests blew the TRUMPETS.” Joshua 6:20. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! The walls are about to fall! God’s judgment against this city; this world, is at d door! Prepare yoself now! Get out of Jericho while u still can and join us in celebrating d victory when Jesus comes again!

The trumpet to announce d Lord’s second coming, to ushers us into a new body in Christ. Even d dead in Christ shall arise from their sleep. They will go up first followed by us who are alive, and we will all meet d Lord in d air-1 Cor. 15:51–55.

Beloved, soon, d trumpet of God will sound, and d Lord will lead us to d Promised Land. It’s time to get out of Jericho right now, before d final trumpet sounds! Jesus is coming soon! That Trumpet of God is going to sound; not as a call to battle; but as a final call to His church to gather together with Jesus in d air; and to go and be with him and to worship Him forever in Heaven! When that trumpet sounds, there will shouting on d hills of Glory! Every born again child of God, that is trusting in d Blood of Jesus & has been washed in His blood to cleanse us from sin, are going to go straight up from where we are at that moment in time. This present Jericho will be utterly destroyed. It will be turned to ashes in time. The power of darkness will be broken and all who refused to get out of Jericho and get on d Lord’s side will perish right along with everything of this world and this life that they have trusted in. Today is d day of Repentance. Be born again! Walk in d light. Witness to d lost. Stay in d race. Be steadfast in d LORD! Yo decision today determines yo destination! He is coming and we need to be ready! Will He find u ready and waiting if He should come today, if d trumpet should sound even NOW? “Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;” Joel 2:1. Prayer: Lord Jesus, HELP me to be ready for d rapture, Amen. Hav a Glorious Monday! U r saved to safe odaz! Shalom.
