1. Living on God's terms.
God told Isaac in today's passage that it is
time for him to live according to God's
own terms. Of course, the human nature in
Isaac might have caused him to doubt a
bit, just like you and I.
2. However, Isaac chose to trust God completely and live on God's terms. Living on God's terms requires living in God's ordained location, doing God's work, etc.
3. Pondering on the story of Isaac, you will notice that location was very important to fulfilling God's ordained destiny for him. In these times, there is a tendency to become restless.
4. The blessing of God is location-sensitive. If you step out of your divine location, you
may just miss out on your God-ordained
allocation.
5 "The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land
where I tell you to live.
6. Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham." - Genesis 26:2 - 3 (NIV) #YETDevotional
7.Confession:
I receive the discerning spirit to know
God's ordained location for me as I fulfill
my destiny. I will not walk out of the will
of God.

1. GOD'S GLORY
As God shakes heaven and the earth, the
shaking is to your favour as a believer in
Christ and will lead to your glory. "Glory”
implies the strong presence of God where
there is fullness of joy. It speaks to things
that make life easier.
2. This year, God's greater glory has been bestowed on you as Christ's chosen.
God's glory is coming upon His temple,
embodied in His people. His promise for
this season is beyond recovery or
restoration. He is making the glory of the
latter exceed the glory of the former.
3. God's plan is for you to increase both in
affluence and influence. As a child of God
gaining a higher level of influence, you can
influence more people into the kingdom of
God - just like yeast in a dough.
1. Who is your backer? As start-ups continue to grow across the
country and the world, people look for
signs of viability for such companies. For
many, the calibre of funders and backers
help to build public confidence in a small
and relatively unknown venture.
2. People believe in these start-ups, not because they have any particular experience with them, but because they trust the reputation of their backer.
3. In 2021, you will have to step out in faith
and do some things that you are ordinarily
not capable of on your own. Do you trust
God to help you even when you know you
cannot do it yourself? Do you have
confidence in His abilities?
1. You may have heard health professionals
recommend 10,000 steps each day to
maintain a healthy lifestyle. If you've ever
tracked your steps, your device may be
tracking your "walking asymmetry".
2. This function ascertains how healthy your walk pattern is by checking for signs like uneven steps, differences in foot speed
etc. These signs can point to evidence of
injury, disease or other health issues.
3. In the same vein, there are signs that can provide insight into the health of your walk with God. In 2021, determine to have a healthy covenant walk with God. A covenant walk is not something to be taken lightly; a covenant implies a contract or agreement.
1. Hello, and welcome! It's episode 324 of #MrMrsBetterHalf. Mr and Mrs BetterHalf is designed to strengthen marriages, and relationships that will lead to marriage, with wisdom from God's word.
2. Today’s discussion is “To date or not to date: a guide.” Being in limbo about whether or not to date someone can be frustrating, especially if there is some attraction.
3. However, deciding this depends on what you call “dating” in the first place. What is the traditional definition of dating?
Dating is the process of being involved in a relationship where both parties are consciously looking out for compatibilities that may lead to marriage.
1. An anonymous writer once wrote, "I
believe very strongly that no human being
can live life to the fullest if they only run
from something. Instead, running towards
something makes things easier and
ensures that such a person lives a full life
and possibly dies empty".
2. On this journey of life, there will always be more: more to do; more to achieve; more to be better at; more to become but because the world itself is a blend of a lot of things, there will always be corrupt and less ideal ways of achieving even the most noble things.
3. That's why it pays to chase after God.
Chasing after God demands that you
remain steadfast in prayer and meditate
on God's leading within His word.
Be sensitive to His plans for you and
submit to them completely.
1. On Your Marks! At the start of a race, every athlete knows to pay attention to the sound of the gun so they can take off immediately and stand a better chance of winning the race over their other counterparts.
2. While resting at the starting line, nothing else matters - not the cheering crowd or even their beating heart. But a critical thing that helps an athlete win a race might not be the long strides or energy expended. It
usually lies in not looking back.
3. It only slows you down no matter how fast you might be running. 2020 has come and gone; it's now in the past where it belongs. The best of God, for you and yours, is never in the past but in the future.
