DAILY DEVOTIONAL 2
WELCOME TO THE MONTH OF MAY, 2025
May 01, 2025
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. (Joshua 1:8)
Bishop Oyedepo once said, “God gave you brain so you can give God rest.” We have held God responsible for so many things working or not working in our lives. Enough is enough! It is time we start accepting covenant responsibilities for the things happening and the things we want to happen in our lives.
Our God is a covenant keeping God. Whatever He says, is what He will do. Let’s begin to dig deeper to find what God has promised us and claim our inheritance. Proverbs 24:14 says, “So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.”
There is what is missing today in your life. It is not God who will find it for you, you are the one to search for it inside the knowledge of wisdom until you find it. When you find that which is missing, there shall be a reward! That reward is the breakthrough you are praying for.
Luke 15:8-9 – “Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, ‘Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost’.”
To succeed in life you have to light a candle and sweep diligently till you find what you are looking for. Some are looking for a good job; that job is available but you have to search for it. Others are looking for the right partner for their life, he/she is there, but you have to sweep diligently to locate him/her. Many are looking for financial breakthrough. Your breakthrough is a reality even at hard times, but you have to light your candle, bend down and sweep thoroughly and you will find it.
Brethren in Christ, we have waited for God enough, not knowing that it is God who has been waiting for us to rise and shine. He said, “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee” (Isaiah 60:1). Your light is your personal revelation in the Word of God, not what one “Prophet” told you.
God told Moses, “Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward” (Deut. 2:3). In case you are afraid of what is in the north, He said, “Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle” (Deut. 2:24).
Don’t be afraid of Sihon, the Amorite, king of Heshbon; God has given him to us and his land. Let’s begin to contend with him in battle and possess his land. Success is our divine heritage! Accept responsibility and fight your way to the top.
In May 2025, I declare: “I SHALL MAKE MY WAY PROSPEROUS” in the name of Jesus! (Joshua 1:8).
HAPPY NEW MONTH!
