ARE YOU OFFENDED BY YOUR FATHER OR MOTHER?

THE WINNER'S SEED DEVOTIONAL

Friday, April 7, 2017.

Verse Of The Day: Whoso curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness. Proverbs 20:20

LISTEN: No doubt, some fathers and mothers can be very unfair and hard on their children. Some curse and swear for their children undermining the consequences of such ungodly and satanic acts. They act in ways that makes their children believe that they are hated by their parents. As a result, most children grew up to see their parents as enemies rather than friends. They are forced to harbour bitterness against them (parents) because of ill treatment meted to them (children). This spirit of bitterness is nurtured all through their lives and vent later in life on their parents who they sees as enemies. Parents who curses their children are so ungrateful to God for his gift of children.

Beloved, we are commanded by…

Verse Of The Day: Rooted and built up in him and firm in your faith just as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. Colosians 2 : 7

LISTEN: What you hear can grow or stagnate you, depending on how you apply it. Believers in Christ grows through right application of God’s word. Where God’s word is neglected, faith rarely survive. God does not want us to be weak in our faith in Christ, instead he wants us to be deeply rooted and built up in him and firm in our faith, to show for what we are taught in Christ. Followers of Christ should exhibit the life of Christ for the world to see. Nothing should keep us from standing firm in him. Not to stand firm in Christ is to stand with the devil.

It is in Christ that…

EXAMINE YOUR FOUNDATION

THE WINNER'S SEED DEVOTIONAL

Monday, April 3, 2017.

Author: Bishop Julius Okarike

Verse Of The Day: No one can be established through wickedness, but a righteous root cannot be moved. Proverbs 12 : 3

LISTEN: Good foundation is critical to our existence. A solid foundation is necessary for a lasting success. Anything without a solid foundation is merely existing for imminent failure. Foundation is important because every other thing depends on it. Our lives rises or falls on our foundations. Nothing stands for a long time whose foundation is faulty and evil. A faulty foundation will produce a regrettable outcome. Those who ignore the need for a solid foundation in what they do, will soon discover their folly when everything crumbles.

Beloved, do you know that our actions, choices and decisions are the blocks with which we lay our lives foundations? When we choose to ignore God’s word and live in wickedness we are…

Author: Bishop Julius Okarike

Verse Of The Day: But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you. Galatians 4:18

LISTEN: What is eyeservice? The dictionary defined eye service as work or service done only when the employer is watching: it is service performed only under inspection, or the eye of an employer.

Tuesday, November 22, 2016

Author : Bishop Julius Okarike

Verse Of The Day : To have respect for the person of the evil-doer is not good, or to give a wrong decision against the upright.- Proverbs 18 : 5 (BBE).

LISTEN : Most times people do things which they are not aware of the possible consequences. They act without considering their actions, they do anything that they want to do and damn the consequence. However, a reasonable and God fearing person cannot endanger his or her life by living such an ungodly life. Our bible verse of the day talks about two evils that people do that infuriates God, things that people do that causes them to attract the wrath of God. These two evils are: having respect for an evildoer; and robbing the upright of justice. How often people had done these evils! These evils are still prevalent…

Author : Bishop Julius Okarike

Verse Of The Day : I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.- Psalms 118:5

LISTEN : Majority of christians today don’t give the needed attention, time and passion to prayer. They seem to have forgotten that prayer is an integral part of our walk with God. They attend religious meetings, participate in singing and dancing in the church, but loses energy and interest the moment there’s a call for prayer. Beloved, do you know that the devil is playing fast one on you? Do you know that when you quit praying you loses ground to the devil? Did Jesus Christ our Master ever neglected to pray? What about the apostles and the early church, did they ever neglected to pray. The church today becomes weaker everyday in a wicked…

Everything Starts With A Dream

Wizzymedpower

Lupita Nyong’o once said: “No matter where you’re from, your dreams are valid. ” Your Dream is a pathway to your destiny. Your life all begins with a dream in your inner world. It all starts with the picture of a better life. Your future or destiny is not in the stars or in any ones hands, but it is in your dream. A dream is not just the pictures and sounds that flow through your mind in a dream state while you sleep. It’s what you picture yourself becoming, owning, doing, achieving and possessing. A dream is a very clear presentation of the future in your mind. Greatness begins with a dream. Where you are now is the result of the dream you had in your heart.

Your dream is the prophecy of the greatness that God has prepared for you. If you can see it, you are half…

Author : Bishop Julius Okarike

Verse Of The Day : While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. – 2 Corinthians 4 : 18

LISTEN : The encouragement we received yesterday from the part one of this topic was “to live by faith and not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5 : 7). In your walk of faith,if you don’t guard against what you see in this world by the word of God, you’ll be forced to believe the lies of the devil. No person is exempt from challenges or trials. Christians and non-christians alike have their own fair share of the ordeals. However, we’re urged to live by faith. To live by faith is not to pretend that…
