DAILY VITAMIN
- Your Miracle Is Coming
"[When] a certain man crippled from his birth was being carried along, who was laid each day at that gate of the temple [which is] called Beautiful, so that he might beg for charitable gifts from those who entered the temple....But Peter said, Silver and gold (money) I do not have; but what I do have, that I give to you: in [the use of] the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk! Then he took hold of the man's right hand with a firm grip and raised him up. And at once his feet and ankle bones became strong and steady, And leaping forth he stood and began to walk, and he went into the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God." (Acts 3:2-6 AMP)
    In our theme scripture, we see a lame beggar whose routine was to wake up, crawl his way to the Tempe gate, and there beg for alms all through the day, every day. It was how he had lived all of his adolescent/adult life. But on a certain day, as he went out as usual to collect alms, he met two emissaries of Christ, and rather than a mite, they gave him his life back, filled with restoration.
    He might have woken up that day thinking it would just be another normal day as usual; but no! It wasn't, because on this day his life changed for good. Maybe you have also been on your own personal one spot for a very long time now, and rather than counting your progress, all there is to count are the days. Guess what? Just like that fellow, Jesus will find you today. It's what He does. Remember the blind man He met and gave the sight he had never had before; or the sick lame man He restored at Bethesda; or the demonically ravaged man He delivered at Gadara. Everywhere He goes, Jesus always finds a way to change stories for the better; and today He has turned the page to yours.
    Believe it! He says now is the appointed time, the day of your salvation (2 Cor 6:2). Not tomorrow my friend; He says today. So, don't wait till tomorrow for all you can believe in God for today. Again all you have to do is believe and trust Him now. He says if you will hear His voice today [Remember every word of God is His voice, and so this is it as well], harden not your hearts (Heb 3:15); for as He goes on to reveal, many didn't receive the promised life because they wouldn't trust or believe Him (v.19).
   So, you have to stand your ground in faith. Speak it, live it and exhibit it; Your miracle is coming! And notice what happened to that fellow: People couldn't recognize him again. After a day's makeover by God, his sorrows weren't evident on him anymore. The lines of sadness it had marked on his face had gone, as well as the little irky posture he once had had also become perkier. He sparked a great rejoicing and revival in his environment. And that will be your story soon enough. Your life will become a channel for the prosperous propagation of the Gospel. You may have been suffering since the year began, but as it's winding up God says now He will strengthen you, establish you, settle you, and perfect all that concerns you, so as to keep you on an everlasting payroll of goodwill and divine restorations (1 Peter 5:10). Glory to God!
    Your life will showcase His glory- and it's happening now! Not tomorrow, Now! Hallelujah!

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, I thank you because this day You are turning all things to my favour as You had declared already. Your blessings are becoming manifest in my life this moment. My days of weeping and sadness are gone forever; because now that I'm in Christ, all things are mine. The world and everything therein; just as they have been Yours from the beginning. Therefore, I declare that my days of rejoicing are here, and they are here to stay forever, in Jesus' Name. Amen

Giving Generously

-
DAILY VITAMIN  There is a difference between giving and giving generously. Generosity is more than just how much you give, but how hearted you do. What makes the poor fellow rich in the sight of God is how richly he gives even though in need himself. Richly, not in terms of quantity or even quality, nor quantifiable mass, but richly based on how much from the heart it is given. Was the heart rich in compassion, God's love and mercy as it gave? Or was it full of egotism, self-pride and every trait that makes him believe it is all in his power? Remember, a broken heart and a contrite spirit[full of the first traits], God wil not despise (Ps 51:17); and as long as there is a willingness of heart and readiness of mind[spurred by genuine love], it is acceptable towards God (2 Cor 8:11-12). This is why God isn't just crazy in love with any giver, but a cheerful giver. One whose givings start from the heart outward. One who first gives with the heart and reflects it by his hands. Tha

See It God's Way

DAILY VITAMIN - See It God's Way "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11 TLB)     Have you ever noticed how at some point in your life when everything seemed to be going AWOL, then all of a sudden something great came out of it all? At least I have seen it happen without number in my life and others'. Well, that's exactly what God does for a living- turning bitter sources into a spring of life.     Just like most of us, one man who had a myriad of experience regarding this has to be David. David once said that he would have fainted if he hadn't believed to see God's goodness in his life. And went ahead in advising us to wait patiently for all God has promised regardless of what we are currently going through (Psalm 27:13-14). And believe me, he knows what he was talking about.     For instance, David had been told he had been chosen by God to

Desist From Rash Decisions

DAILY VITAMIN Decisions made out of anger or envy are not only self destructive, but they also affect the attitude of those we seem not to desire their hurt. For instance, when the sons of Jacob conspired to kill Joseph, to them it was the perfect way to get rid of the 'big dreamer' that made them all look like vision-less fellows, and had taken their father's affection from them; so they took it upon themselves and agreed that they were totally correct in their intended evil action. After they had sold him and feigned his death, they might have believed it had all ended, only to be shocked with the countenance of their father, thereby sentencing themselves to a lifetime of grief and sorrows from the man they honored most- their father Israel. That alone was enough to prick their conscience until they were clouded with the mist of regret. They sought his attention for themselves, but all they created was a deficit to their own loss; thus causing more harm than what warran

Love Is Where Life Begins

DAILY VITAMIN What's the most important thing to you in life? Think for a while before you answer. And you can take as long as it takes. Alright! Are you ready now? Let's continue. In everything you do always remember that love comes before ambition. Most times we get so carried away in climbing the ladder of success that we fail to recognize and notice when there are hands stretching high for us to help lift them up. We so much pursue self-purposed desires that we miss those God sends our way to impact; not that they didn't show up, but that we failed to notice their arrival.  And guess what: Our silver lining of greatness in the sands of time and in the mouth of men is not built by the success we built for ourselves, but by how much success we attained in imparting and influencing people. Any achievement of ours' that has no positive impact on others isn't labeled success, but a self-fulfilled goal; and that's why Mother Teresa wrote 'a life not lived

Actions Speak Loudest

  DAILY VITAMIN - Actions Speak Loudest “Don’t hide your light! Let it shine for all; let your good deeds glow for all to see, so that they will praise your heavenly Father.” (Matthew 5:16 TLB) It was 4:30 p.m., sometime in late January 2015. The students were crowded en masse for Laboratory Practice registrations. Everybody was there; the sleek guys and girls, and the geeks as well. And also there was myself, and my very good friend Earnest. We were both members of the Christian Community on campus; but Earnest was the more vocal kind. Well, on this day, the hall was replete with students and the process slow, but eventually it got to our turn. The Registration Officer (R.O) requested for the required fee and documentation and thus signed me up; however when it was Earnest’s time to get registered, he failed to ask for the fee. Anyway, when we were both done with the process and on our way back home, Earnest softly indicated that we stop for a moment. As we stood there under the canop
