BODILY PRESENT BUT ABSENT MINDED

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *BODILY PRESENT BUT ABSENT MINDED* *As you step out today may you step into opportunities of lifting* *But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened*. *Luke.24.21*. According to bro Cleopas "they were hoping* meaning that they were not even certain of what they were hoping for, but wait a minute, did Jesus ever teach them that he came to redeem Israel? Where and how did they come up with the hope of Israels" redemption? Even if it was in the law of Moses or the book of Moses why did they not wait to hear it from Jesus. What i have observed from bro Cleopas is that many of the disciples of Jesus was with him but were not actually listening to His teaching just the way many of us go to church not to hear the words of his but to receive one miracle or the other. ...

STOP LIVING IN ASSUMPTION

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *STOP LIVING IN ASSUMPTION* *Your dance of celebration is knocking on your door now* *But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened*. *Luke.24.21*. Sometimes we think that others are on the same page with us we tend to be comfortable in that assumption that is why many a time humans are always disappointed because most time we fail to face reality and begin to walk in assumption, Cleopas assumed that others were having the same hope as he because he thought so. Wait a minute, who told bro Cleopas what others were thinking? How did he come to the conclusion that "we had hoped? Because the last time i checked the sons of Zebedee were busy requesting for places of honour not the redemption of Israel and Judas was there too thinking of how to make more money from Jesus ...

*LET US PRAY* *(PRAYER FOR THE WEEK)*. *YOU WILL FLOURISH*. *The [uncompromisingly] righteous shall flourish like the palm tree [be long-lived, stately, upright, useful, and fruitful]; they shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic, stable, durable, and incorruptible]*.  *Ps.92.12(AMP)* What a mighty God we serve 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 what a mighty God we serve 🎵 🎵 🎶 heaven and earth adore Him, Angels bow before Him 🎵 🎵 🎶 what a mighty God we serve.

In this season...

STOP FOLLOWING THE CROWD

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *STOP FOLLOWING THE CROWD* *His presence beautifies the soul, where you there doe the beauty of your soul?* *But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened*. *Luke.24.21*. Let start today by taking a look at the statement of bro Cleopas when Jesus met them on the way to Emmaus, he started by telling Jesus that "But we were hoping" who are the we? Where are the we at this point in time? What did the we do to make sure that their hope comes to pass? The truth of the matter is that when you follow the crowd you will not see the cloud, the crowd will make you irrelevant when you are in the midst of them, the crowd will give you direction even when they are in the wrong direction and whenever you are in the wrong direction crowd is not an advantage neither speed. ...

HOPELESSNESS IN THE MIDST OF HOPE

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *HOPELESSNESS IN THE MIDST OF HOPE* *Your joy is manifesting in full* *But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened*. *Luke.24.21*. Cleopas with his friend ran away because what they hoped for did not work as they hoped so they choose to run to a distant place not knowing that what they hope for has just been multiplied, because of fear and lack of understanding they ran away from what they were hoping for at the point of manifestation. Many a time we receive blessings from God but because of ingratitude most times and lack of understanding we tend to complain of what we have already all because we are so full of complaints that we could not see the blessings  Cleopas and his friend had hoped that Jesus would save Israel and when Jesus was crucified they ...

BAD MENTORSHIP

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *BAD MENTORSHIP* *Joy knows your address and it is coming to you in full* *But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened*. *Luke.24.21*. They had hidden themselves for three days because as far as they were concerned they hope had gone, the man they followed for three years with the hope that he will empower them to reign has died though he told them that he will rise again but the manner with which he died did not in anyway show that he can make it. After hiding for three days without the disturbance of those that killed their master some women are now trying to invite them by telling them that the man they killed like a lamb that was led to the slaughter is risen. Wait a minute, by the time these soldiers come demanding for the man they claim has risen what are they going...

CAN THIS JESUS REALLY BE TRUSTED

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *CAN THIS JESUS REALLY BE TRUSTED?* *It is another good week for you to do great things. Greatness is coming to you now* *But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened*. *Luke.24.21*. Cleopas was telling Jesus how they hoped that Jesus will save them and how disappointed they were when eventually He died and left then at the mercy of those that killed Him and as if that was not enough some women of their folks came to tell them how they had seen a vision of angels telling them that He was alive. How can He be alive when he could not save Himself from the hands of His killers? If He has such powers to rise from the dead why did he not use it to come come down from the cross? Many questions begging for answers. Their hope was dashed, the future seem bleak because...

LET THEIR WORK FAIL THEM

*LET US PRAY* *(PRAYER FOR THE WEEK)*. *LET THEIR WORK FAIL THEM*. *No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me," Says the LORD*.  *Isa.54.17*  What shall we say unto the Lord 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 all we have to say is thank you lord 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 thank you Lord 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 thank you Lord 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 all we have to say is thank you Lord 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 Thank you for all that you have done for us, all that you are doing and many more that we know and believe that you will continue to do for us.

WRONG ASSOCIATION

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *WRONG ASSOCIATION* *Always presenting presents to those in His presence, hope you got yours* *But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened*. *Luke.24.21*. Beware of wrong association in life because your association determines your assimilation and what you are able to assimilate will go along way to tell how far you will go in life, Did you notice that throughout the conversation between Jesus and the two run away disciples that the other man did not talk but Cleopas and he is even the only one that we know his name. Cleopas as a man of authority was bold enough even to call or to ask Jesus of he was the only foolish man in Jerusalem that did not know what has been happening in the past three days, he did not even bother to introduce his friend to Jesus but kept talking ...

THE GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT PT2

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *THE GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT PT2* *The blessings of God upon your life will be so glaring that people will see it and know that you are blessed* *But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened*. *Luke.24.21*. Cleopas and his friend were so disappointed in Jesus that they had to run away even in the night and more was their disappointment when some of their women came to tell them that they saw a vision of Angel that told them that he had risen. Wait a minute, how on earth can somebody that could not come down from the cross rose from the dead? Is it possible? *When they did not find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said He was alive*. *Luke.24.23*  Cleopas and his friend were with the others until this news came that he had ri...

THE GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *THE GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT* *It is another day of divine healing receive yours now in Jesus name* *But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened*. *Luke.24.21*. Can you see the level of disappointment in the mind of Cleopas and his friend? They had their hopes, they had their expectations of the person of Jesus only for Jesus to just die like that. Their hope was that he was to redeem Israel but as far as they were concerned He could not save Himself not to talk of saving others. They had their own expectations of Jesus not minding the mission of Jesus, they had their plans for Jesus without minding what Jesus had for Himself or what the father had asked him to do, they were following Jesus without knowing fully the mission of Jesus. Jesus came to redeem Israel ...

THE GREATEST MISTAKE THE EARTH EVER MADE

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *THE GREATEST MISTAKE THE EARTH EVER MADE* *Favour is knocking at your door, you time has come* *He gives blessings to His beloved while they sleep, you will not miss yours* *And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it*. *Matt.28.2*  How on earth do you think that the earth can hold what holds it? The earth that does not know how it began how can it hold the beginner of its beginning? The earth quaked because it carried more than it was created to carry, it carried what it should not carry and it carried what is bigger than it and so when the time came it quaked because it had to release what it held or what it thought it was holding. The moment the earth realised before whose presence it was the bible said that not just the earth that even th...

THE STONE WILL CRUSH THE ONE THAT SETS IT ROLLING

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *THE STONE WILL CRUSH THE ONE THAT SETS IT ROLLING* *He gives blessings to His beloved while they sleep, you will not miss yours* *And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it*. *Matt.28.2*  When the devil was tempting Jesus after His fasting of forty days and night he came quoting the bible to Jesus because he taught he was crafty. Little did he know that He was quoting the word to the Word and he taught that he knows the Word well not knowing that he cannot hide under the Word to deceive Jesus the Word.. In an attempt to use the stone to deceive Jesus he forgot that the bible told us that anyone that sets the stone rolling will get crushed with the stone, so when he taught that he was using the stone to keep Jesus in the grave, little did he know that he ...

THE CRAFTINESS OF THE CRAFTY

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *THE CRAFTINESS OF THE CRAFTY* *Wow, what a day thank God, thank you Jesus* *And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it*. *Matt.28.2*  Wait a minute, what was it that the devil wanted to do? To deceive Jesus to remain in the grave because of the stone? Because Jesus is the cornerstone was he trying to make Jesus feel at home? or to make Jesus feel free because stone was around Him or thinking that Jesus will feel comfortable because a stone was around him? The devil is a bastard. Was he mocking Jesus knowing full well that Jesus is not just a stone but the cornerstone, the stone that the builders reject that is now the head of the corner? The devil must be so stupid as to think that he was in the same level of stupidity with Jesus  ...

DIVINE IMMUNITY

*LET US PRAY* *(PRAYER FOR THE WEEK)*. *DIVINE IMMUNITY*. *No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me," Says the LORD*.  *Isa.54.17*  What shall we say unto the Lord if not a very big thank you for all that He has done for us, all that He is doing and many more that we know and believe that He will continue to do for us. May His name be praised both now and forever in Jesus name Amen. Beloved i pray for you and with you that in this season and beyond that anyone, powers or kingdoms that has made you a project of attack and has fashioned weapons to execute that plan that the God that says that you should hold your peace will answer them from the place of thunder in the powerful name of Jesus. Anyone one that has fashioned a weapon to attack you wh...

THE DEVIL IS A LOSER

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *THE DEVIL IS A LOSER* *Hope you were in His presence for the fullness of joy and if you were may you joy continue to be full* *And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it*. *Matt.28.2*  From all indications i know that you will agree with me that the devil is always a loser and that he will continue to loose as long as God is still on the throne because anything that fail to submit to the supremacy and power of God will always end up wasting his energy and time. May that never be said of us in Jesus name. Our God has a way of bringing out the foolishness of the devil, he has a way of making the devil to use his potential for the glory of God without knowing, and i will talk about these two things today. *None of the rulers of this age or world perce...

ROLLED BACK THE STONE

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *ROLLED BACK THE STONE* *It is another weekend of joy for you, enjoy your weekend* *And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it*. *Matt.28.2*  We have been seeing what God did through the instrumentality of just one angel, while we imagine what it could have been had He sent more than one angel let us continue to see what the Angel did. Remember that the stone was rolled back meaning that the stone still has the capacity to continue but was rolled back to let it know that enough is enough, it was rolled back to stop it's progress, it was rolled back to stop it from going further and doing more havoc. The stone was rolled back to show that the one that rolled it back has the capacity and the capability to do so, it was rolled back because the o...

THE DEVIL CAN BARK BUT CAN'T BITE

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *THE DEVIL CAN BARK BUT CAN'T BITE* *And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it*. *Matt.28.2*  All that we have seen has gone a long way to make us to understand that the devil is not powerful, yes sir, he is not powerful but he is very smart, can you imagine that after all that they did to Jesus and even went ahead to make sure that he will never rise from the dead all that effort was sat upon by just an angel. Another thing you must know is that the earthquake did not struggle with any force or find it difficult to dismantle all that they did to keep Jesus in the grave, just one element was turned into an element of war to shatter all the strongholds of the devil and God has so many elements at His disposal. Another thing we must not fail to understand ...

SAT ON IT

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *SAT ON IT* *Wow what a day for the Lord to meet you with all your expectations* *And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it*. *Matt.28.2*  Have you heard the saying that when you want to eat with the devil that you should go with long spoon? One day my late spiritual father Rt Rev Mgr Mathew Agbabuwe Arinze called me and said to me "my son even with the longest spoon don't ever think of eating with the devil because it is not safe" in other words "prevention is better than cure" When we talk about our enemies we are not talking about the man or woman that has quarrel with us or the one that refused to give us money when we were in need but the enemy of our soul, the devil because no matter how you try to look at the devil he will still rem...

SAT ON IT

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *SAT ON IT* It is another beautiful day of blessings for you so fo and be blessed* *And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it*. *Matt.28.2*  We were told that the Angel that descended from heaven did not descend to come and watch the soldiers or be wondering what to do or who will help him like Mary and the other woman was wondering but he came, rolled back the stone and sat on the stone. To sit on the stone speaks of authority, have you not not heard people complain that somebody is sitting on their file? What they are saying is that somebody is exercising authority over their file, so the Angel came and exercised authority over the stone, the stone was too small and too insignificant for Jesus to mind hence Angel had to do it. Speaking of ...

WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE* *And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it*. *Matt.28.2*  We have been trying to look at one dimension of the power of the resurrection, we have seen how the soldiers were told not to expose the power so that we can not explore it because when we know of it we will go for it but be that as it may with the little that we have been able to gather God has been glorifying His name. Thank God that we were denied the opportunity to know what happened by the soldiers so that we can reflect on it and have our own understanding of what happened thereby growing in faith and the knowledge of our God and from there too have a personal encounter with our God. Bro Paul after taking a critical look at the power of the resurrection pra...

LORD, LET YOUR ANGELS SIT ON MY PROBLEMS

*LET US PRAY* *(PRAYER FOR THE WEEK)*. *LORD, LET YOUR ANGELS SIT ON MY PROBLEMS* *And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it*. *Matt.28.2*  We are grateful oh Lord 🎵🎵, we are grateful oh Lord our God, for all you have done for us,🎵🎵, we are grateful 🎵🎵, we are grateful oh Lord. Indeed we are not great fools to forget all that you have done for us Lord. We are indeed very grateful oh Lord. Beloved i pray for you and with you that in this new week that the God of Angels will send his Angels to anything and anywhere where you have been confined never to see the light of the day that the angels of God will visit you in that condition and roll away every stone holding you there and sit on them in the name of Jesus  Every stone that has been rolling back to where it was that is making...
