Lighthouse Covenant Church Daily Devotional Wednesday 20 December, 2017. (INTEGRITY PAYS ll)

Proverbs 11:3 KJV
The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
Proverbs 20:7 KJV
[7] The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.

If there is any test that men naturally fail in life with or without monitoring, is a test of integrity. Teddy, a former American president, once tested one of his ranch employees by asking him to steal from a neighbouring ranch. Foolishly, he agreed to do so and he was fired immediately. Teddy concluded that, a man who steals for me will soon steal from me. The employee failed one of the most important tests of life, thinking it will help him secure his job. I have discovered over the years, both in the ministry and in the secular settings, that nothing makes a man to be influential, powerful and respected like integrity. Integrity has the capacity to build and to sustain a personality. Dont pursue fame in life; maintain the path of integrity and fame will accompany you.
The reward of integrity is one thing that can never be deterred by anything on this side of eternity. It will definitely yield very good dividend. Infact, it will draw God to you. A life of integrity is always surrounded by Gods favour, as we see in the life of Joseph. You will get there in Jesus Name. When you Journey through the book of Proverbs, you will discover that the word integrity occurred several times, in order to emphasizing its importance to believers. Proverbs 10:9 NIV say that, the man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out. The only guarantee to your security is your ability to walk and maintain the path of integrity. Its reward will always last all times and be enjoyed by posterity. Proverbs 11:3 says that, the integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. Are you looking for guidance or seeking for direction? Then embrace integrity. Be a man of Godly character. Proverbs 20:7 says that, the just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him. No accusation scares a man of integrity, he is so sure of himself. When you talk of confidence, he has it. An African proverb has it this way that, only character accompanies a man to the grave.
When it comes to integrity, I encourage you to demand it for yourself and reward it in others. A man of integrity can always be trusted with anything as we see in the life of Joseph. He will experience deep inner peace. One of the greatest benefits of the life of integrity is the pattern it sets for people that has link with your destiny, people around you and even your children. I pray that you live a life of integrity and legacy of integrity for posterity in Jesus name. Like Joseph may you enjoy the benefit of integrity in Jesus name.

DAILY TASK
Study the life of Daniel as a character of integrity. Daniel 1-6

PRAYER
1. Father, I receive grace to stand for the truth in Jesus name
2. Father, I will leave a legacy of integrity for posterity in Jesus Name.

Lighthouse Covenant Church Daily Devotional Wednesday 15th November, 2017. Topic: THE FINAL REQUIREMENT

Matthew 25:7-10 KJV
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. [8] And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. [9] But the wise answered, saying, Not so ; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. [10] And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

To attain and obtain any educational qualifications in life, there are requirements. There are requirements to study law and to become a lawyer. The same thing is applicable to other professions like medicine, Architecture, Engineering Teaching and many others.
Until you meet those requirement, you can't practice them. Also in life, until you meet some certain requirements for a specific status of life, you can access such status nor enjoy the life of such status.
From our text, the ten virgins had some qualifications and requirement to meet with the bridegroom.
Firstly, they were all virgins, meaning, all of them are qualified in terms of holiness and purity. If holiness and purity, is a major requirement to see God (bridegroom) it means they are qualified.
Secondly, they have oil in their lamp; All the virgins had equal opportunities to meet with the bridegroom and especially to tarry all through the night. However, the quantity of oil in their lamp determined the possibility of them waiting long enough, to meet the bridegroom.
Do you know that equal opportunities were given to Christians to run the race to heaven, some will make it and some will not. Waiting and burning to the end is a requirement to meet with Him. You may not know your last moment on earth but the question is will Christ meet you still burning for Him.
The wise among the virgins came with extra oil while the foolish ones did not. It means the foolish ones did not prepared adequately. Life is not an accident but needs adequate preparation and readiness. If you are not ready for life, you will waste your it's blessing and opportunities. The prodigal son is an example of the danger of lack of preparation and readiness ( Luke 15:11-32 ). It was good and quality preparation that inspired the wise virgin to carry extra oil. However delayed the bridegroom was, they still had oil to wait for him, but the foolish ones failed in this final requirements. May you not fail the requirements that will qualifies you to be rapturable in Jesus name.
Do you put in extra effort in your service to God ? Are you one of those that needs to be pushed before attending church programs? You don't need to be pushed to serve God. Service to God should be a lifestyle and the passion for God should be evident in your nature. Do more than is needful today and see yourself rewarded with eternal life.

DAILY TASK
List five requirements that disqualified the foolish virgin.

PRAYER
1. Father, I receive grace to keep burning at all times.
2. May my grace and anointing not run dry in Jesus name.

Topic: COMMITMENT
Text: JOHN 5 : 2 - 9
Ministering: PASTOR OBAFEMI OBASOTO
The ideal christian is not the one who just comes to church punctually for every Sunday Service but the one who has a committed heart to God and shows this level of commitment-driven service in the value of unusual sacrifices to God; in taking care of the needs of the church of God without necessarily waiting for an announcement of need. Dear child of God, are you committed enough to notice the needs that needs to be met in the house of God? Are you committed enough to respond when God lays it on your heart to take care of a need in your local assembly?

Lighthouse Covenant Church Daily Devotional (The Key) Sunday 12th November, 2017 TOPIC: CHANGING ORDER?

Genesis 1:29-30 KJV
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. [30] And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

In the beginning God created the heaven and earth and saw that it was good. The spoiler, for who he is came to destroy that which was created beautifully because he was thrown down from heaven. The devil contaminated the earth thus making it formless and void. He is a thief, a killer and a destroyer (John 10:10). You must not give him a foot holds in your life otherwise you will be on your way to destruction (formless and void). As a believer of Christ, one assignment that we must continually engage in is to change everything back to the way of God. God did not intend that there will be carnivorous animals even though we find it so today and it seems natural. The above scriptural text shows that God provided ONLY green herbs for meat to every beast, every fowl of the air, and everything that creeps upon the surface of the earth. So, where did it all change? When Man fell in the garden of Eden, he dropped from grace to grass. Everything that was not meant to be became the norm. This can be seen from the story in Genesis chapter 3. God started His question from the man Adam based on the order He left in creation. Then Eve before He questioned the serpent which represents other creatures. But the consequence of the fall changed this original order when God started the curse from the serpent. Then the woman Eve and lastly the man Adam. From that moment everything that was in order lost it's order. Man lost his authority to the devil, animals and nature. As small as mosquito is,it became a threat to the health of man by easily infecting him with malaria likewise all other animals. Thus every unrepentant man became the toy of the devil. That's why its easy for everything including the unsaved man to be used by the devil. The best you can do for yourself to have orderly life is to switch to God, remain in God and live for God.

DAILY TASK
Study the life of Jacob and Esau and identify five things that made the order of the blessing to change

PRAYER
1) Father, I recover every position I have lost in life
2) Father, wherever my honour has been exchanged, I recover back in Jesus Name.
