DAILY VITAMIN
- God Still Delivers
"When he calls on me I will answer; I will be with him in trouble, and rescue him and honour him" (Psalm 91:15 TLB)
      That testimony in our theme verse is for every Christian whose hope is in God alone- which I want to believe you are. If you aren't, this will be a good time to devote your life to Him all over again. But if you are, then all I have to say to you is congratulations.
      In the old times, God showed that He has a special place for the Jews in His heart; and now through Christ we have all been declared Jews before Him. This means, He doesn't joke with us; and because of that things that trouble others to their deaths know that they can't have it so easy with us. In Jeremiah 50:33-34, "The Lord of Hosts says: The people of Israel and Judah have been wronged. Their captors hold them and refuse to let them go. But their Redeemer is strong. His name is the Lord of Hosts. He will plead for them and see that they are freed to live again in quietness in Israel..." (TLB).
     Some other people might have been held down with no way out, but He says He will get you out of it. The Good News Bible explains better what He meant when He said He would 'plead for them'. It uses the term "take up their cause". Isn't that what God promises to do? To fight for us while we hold our peace. To show His strength where we had only weaknesses. In short, He is taking your place in the trouble; and that's beyond great news because when He appears before these troubles, they flee (Psalm 114).
     In Psalm 11, we also see the enemy taunting David, saying that where would he find the hope for solace if the very foundation of his strength had been destroyed. But we see David responding confidently with God as his answer (v. 1,4). David understood that no matter how fiery the danger may be, or how tight the situation may seem, whenever they appear before him, the Lord will eventually show up with a standard against them (Isaiah 59:19). In your own case, You may not have the money now to settle those needs, but you've got the God, and all the silver and gold are His (Haggai 2:9). And He has you fully covered.
     As it stands, you have maximum security in Christ Jesus. You have the victory all the time. Don't just accept the defeat when the fear of it comes; instead do what God prescribed: worry over nothing, and pray about everything (Phil 4:6 TLB), for when you call upon Him, He will always answer and save you from your troubles.
"When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up- the flames will not consume you." (Isaiah 43:2 TLB).
     This is a promise God can never break. He says He will never leave you nor forsake you in your time of trials. With this in mind, don't let your possibility of a deliverance today be charred by the flames of unbelief; instead choose to believe, and in perfect response to that, ask it of Him today, and it will be. Amen!

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, I know you will never abandon me in my time of need. I know that you will always watch over me to keep me safe and sound. I ask for a deliverance today from this hardship [be specific] I have been experiencing for a while now. I know that you will settle me and perfect me; and so let it be, this I pray in Your Name Jesus. 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
