WELCOME TO THE EIGHT MONTH OF THE YEAR: HAPPY NEW MONTH!

TEXT: Zachariah 1:1-3(AMP) " In the eighth month, in the second year [of the reign] of Darius, came the word of the Lord to Zechariah...Thus says the Lord of hosts: Return to Me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will return to you; it is the utterance of the Lord of hosts."

Luke 1:59 "And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child..."

Number eight entails
Returning to the Lord wholeheartedly and the Lord returning to His people.

It entails a new beginning.
It connotes the circumcision of the heart as well as the purification of the heart.

For the new to come, the old must go. Get ready for your divine intervention and help this month.

Irrespective of how far you have gone from the direction of the Holy Spirit, your dreams and God given Assignments, the Lord is saying return to me and I will return to you.

Set your heart to return to the Lord wholeheartedly and He will return to you and bless you and your in family as well as the works of your hands . amazingly.

*TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL READING*

*Mon. August 15, 2022*

*Psalms 33:1-22*

[1]Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful.
[2]Praise the Lord with the harp; Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.
[3]Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
[4]For the word of the Lord is right, And all His work is done in truth.
[5]He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
[6]By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
[7]He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deep in storehouses.
[8]Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
[9]For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
[10]The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
[11]The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations.
[12]Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.
[13]The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
[14]From the place of His dwelling He looks On all the inhabitants of the earth;
[15]He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works.
[16]No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
[17]A horse is a vain hope for safety; Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.
[18]Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy,
[19]To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
[20]Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.
[21]For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name.
[22]Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, Just as we hope in You.

*Thurs. August 11, 2022*

*John 14:16-31*

[16]And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—
[17]the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
[18]I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. Indwelling of the Father and the Son
[19]“A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.
[20]At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.
[21]He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
[22]Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”
[23]Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
[24]He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me. The Gift of His Peace
[25]“These things I have spoken to you while being present with you.
[26]But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
[27]Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
[28]You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.
[29]“And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe.
[30]I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.
[31]But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.

*16 BAD CHARACTERS OF SOME FAKE CHRISTIANS.*

❌1. They go to work early but come to church late.

❌2. They beg their boss when they err but threaten to leave church whenever there is a misunderstanding.

❌3. They work hard to be promoted at work but treat the work of God with levity.

❌4. They pay all their dues in the workplace but refuse to pay tithe and offering in the church.

❌5. They buy costly things for their boss to get favour but can't even buy airtime for their pastor.

❌6. When they are not going to be in the office, they take permission ahead from their superior; but expect pastor to pay them visits when they miss church without notice.

❌7. They fear and respect their boss than their pastor and even sometimes more than God.

❌8. When they are sick they manage to go to work but they cannot manage to come to the church.

❌9. They take official query serious but handle divine rebuke with disdain.

❌10. They tolerate their colleagues in the workplace but cannot tolerate the brethren.

❌11. They turn off their phones at workplace, but use calls to distract other worshippers in Church.

❌12. They can work overtime in the office but get offended at the pastor if he's not closing at the stipulated time.

❌13 They dress very well when they are looking for work or going to the office, but dresses anyhow to seduce the brethren in the church.

❌14 They keep their workplace very clean, but dirty the house of God.

❌15 They build mansions of house and decorate it with their resources. But never care what is lacking in the house of God.

❌16 They obey their boss but disobey God’s word.

If you're guilty of any of these👆👆 Ask God for mercy and live a fulfilling life for Him alone Who owns your breathe and everything you have.

Don't read this alone, bless someone by sharing it, that's another means of winning a soul for Christ. *Good morning*
