DAILY VITAMIN
- God Will Remember You
"For if my father and mother should abandon me, you would welcome and comfort me" (Psalm 27:10 TLB)
    God never forgets His own- not even for a bit. It might seem slow, but God always remembers and rewards our works and labours of love. The scripture gives us a wonderful example in Mephiboseth to support these claims.
     We are already well acquainted with how he found favour with David, thereby leading him from Lodebar to the palace; from a burden to a prince; but there's a greater episode of God's grace upon his life we don't talk about often.
      After Absalom usurped the throne, and David escaped with his entire household to ensure their safety, Mephiboseth was abandoned by his own manager Ziba. First of all, Ziba had left him in Jerusalem even though he knew his heart was with David, seeing he was unable to walk; possibly hoping Absalom would slay him. Second, the same Ziba went ahead to find David in order to slander Mephiboseth, and as a result received temporarily all that belonged to his master.
      Meanwhile, only God knew how Mephiboseth fared in the palace. For if a father could flee from his own son, then how much fear do you think Mephiboseth would have been tormented with each passing day? Anyway, when the Kingdom was restored to David, the scripture says that Mephiboseth had stayed unkempt all the while because his heart was out to David (2 Samuel 19:24-25). And even though the accusations against him by Ziba were brilliantly crafted to ruin him, David returned to him what was his, and retained him as a prince before his table.
       In other words, even when Mephiboseth had no one to defend him, God did. God remembered him and blessed him. I don't know who has ganged up against you to ruin you, but remember Haman and Mordecai, because that is exactly how God will vindicate you. When you think you have no one, God will be enough for you. It doesn't matter how tight the circumstances are, He will help you. I believe He will do so for me; you best believe He will do it for you too.
"Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord." (Psalm 27:14 AMP)

Confession:
I'm constantly under the radar of God's love. He cares about me and will never forsake me. Because of this truth, I know He will help me. I know He will cause my light to shine again. He will make lines to fall for me in pleasant places. And all things will work in my favour. This I believe in Jesus' Name.

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
