THE WAY OF GOD
"And it came to pass,when the Vessels were full,that she said unto her son,Bring me yet a Vessel. And he said unto her,There is not a Vessel more. And the Oil stayed."(2 Kings 4 vs 6). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional Today.Prior to the miracle of the Increase of Oil as recorded in today's Scripture Focus,Prophet Elisha instructed the woman to borrow as many vessels as possible. These Vessels were meant to contain the Oil that God was about to release. Now, notice carefully that when all the borrowed vessels were filled, the flow of Oil stopped.The Oil stopped when there were no more containers to receive the Oil. The Oil stopped flowing when there was no more space to contain more Oil. God's release of Oil was limited by the (un)availability of Vessels.Very Often,God's release upon our lives is limited because we have limited space to receive. God desires to fill us more with his anointing and grace but most times, we don't have deep desire to receive. God desires to do amazing things in our families but our expectations are often too low. He desires to make us attain great heights but often, there is no space in our thoughts or expectations for His Out-pouring!Today,God says,MAKE MORE SPACE! Develop a deep hunger and thirst for God. Make room for the Holy Spirit to fill your mind with visions and ideas that will rule your world. Discard these worries that have filled your mind and allow God's Presence do its perfect work in you! Increase your expectations as you desire Divine attention in your Career. Make room for Divine Healing, don't just be stuck with doctors and their reports. Increase you desire for Excellence in your Career, Business and Academics. Make more room for God today!Raise the bar of your expectations! How it will be fulfilled is simply GOD'S BUSINESS not yours!Pray with me,"Lord,I create more space for you in my Life".Have a Blessed Friday! You have been designed to dazzle!Keep Dazzling! U are d Best! Shalom.

BELIEVE IN THE MIRACLE OF GOD
"And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked.."(John 5 vs 8-9). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional Today.Before the man at the Pool of Bethesda got healed,he could not carry his bed. Because of his condition,he could not do much to help himself. Because of his condition he needed men to carry him to the Pool. He could not move freely around. He was "carried" by his bed. His condition confined him to his bed. The bed carried him for several years.Notice that when Jesus intervened,the same man who was "carried" by his bed,started carrying the same bed that carried him. When Jesus stepped in,the Man at the Pool of Bethesda did what he could not do previously. The "CARRIED" became the "CARRIER".Have you ever been at that point in life when it seems like you are been carried by people or things? It is that point in Destiny when we seem to be dependent on our Jobs, Family or Friends to help us pull through. Because of Financial crisis, we rely on others to come through for us. Ill health makes us depend on others and drugs. Situations often rob us of the capacity to do what we should ordinarily do.Friend,God's intervention will empower you to do what you could not do before. God's intervention will make you carry whatever carried you in the past. When God turns your story around, the things and people you previously depended on will suddenly begin to depend on you!God's intervention will make you a pillar to families you may have previously depended on. God's intervention in your career/business will take you beyond the place of monthly income. God's intervention in your Journey through life lifts you up from the place of being a LIABILITY to the place of being an ASSET!Beloved, Declare this with me with every faith on the inside of you,"I WILL CARRY WHATSOEVER CARRIED ME IN THE PAST;I AM IN CHARGE"!Pray with me,"Lord,I declare over my life that I am an Asset not a Liability". U are d best!! Have a Blessed Thursday!

THE WORD OF GOD
"Then Isaac sowed in that Land, and received in the same year an hundred fold: and the Lord blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great".(Genesis 26 vs 12,13). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional Today.When Isaac stayed back and sowed in the Land of the Philistines according to God's instructions,he had a hundred fold harvest. It is interesting to observe that the Philistines had closed up all Isaac's sources of water. His Sources of Irrigation had been destroyed by the Philistines. Guess what: HE STILL PROSPERED! Despite the fact that Isaac had no well to draw water for irrigation,his crops still gave a hundred fold harvest. Though no ready source of water to feed his flocks and herds, the flocks and herds kept multiplying and never died of thirst. Despite the fact than an essential element for survival in the desert(WATER) appeared to be missing, his progress did not stop.Friend, don't ever stop your Journey in life or in your vocation because of what you think is missing. Don't ever imagine that what you don't have will stop you. Anytime that something is missing in your life is God's opportunity to show himself strong and mighty on your behalf! God will prosper you despite the unfavorable business environment. God will bless your career even when there are stumbling blocks.2 Corinthians 12 vs 8(MESSAGE TRANSLATION) captures it in an amazing light: "And then God told me,My Grace is enough; its all you need. My Strength comes into its own in your weakness. Once I heard that I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and begin appreciating the gift. It was a case strength moving in on my weakness".Beloved, though things may seem missing and your handicap obvious in some areas, You will still fulfill your destiny . You remain UNSTOPPABLE!Pray with me,"My handicap will not stop me,I will prosper in Season and out of Season in Jesus name".Have a Fruitful Wednesday! U are born 2 Overcome! Arise & Shine! Shalom.

FORSAKING THE THINGS OF THE WORLD FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD
The greatest inheritance is the kingdom of God, are you a drunkard, womanizer, adulterer, fornicator, liar, idol worshipper or what have you. You need to forsake this act and take the cross of our lord Jesus and be saved for ever and make the kingdom of heaven your permanent home, because this life we are ” is just like a market place where everybody will surely go back home after the dawn of the day, but where will you go after the market? A house full of pandemonium, troubles, pains, and discomfort? Or the house that is full of hope, comfort, peace of mind, where to lay your head and body after the hustling and bustling of the market.
Where will you prefer? The choice is yours to take now. Luke 18:29-30 “ I assured you that everyone who has given up house of wife or brother or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, will be repaid many times over in this life, and will have eternal life in the world to come”
Just like I’ve said earlier the kingdom of GOD is an everlasting inheritance. And the sweetest home to be. Today is the day of decision tomorrow may be too late
