THE BETRAYAL

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *THE BETRAYAL* *Your haters will hug the transformer* *And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden*.  *Gen.3.8*. They heard the sound of the Lord God and they hid themselves can you imagine? The sound that they always longed to hear now becomes the sound that they wish never to hear again because they have betrayed the confidence reposed on them.  Do you know the way you feel when you hurt somebody or when you betray a loved one? That is exactly what they felt, they betrayed the love of their lives, they offended who they were never supposed to offend because the offended has done everything for them to deserve their trust and love but they failed. The pain of betrayal does not affect the betrayed but the betrayer and so even if the be...

THE LESSON NEVER LEARNT

Image
*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *THE LESSON NEVER LEARNT* *HAPPY SUNDAY BELOVED* *Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings*.  *Gen.3.7* There was a lesson that the tree was trying to teach Eve which Eve never learnt, when she saw the fruits on the tree the tree was trying to let her know that everything on earth is supposed to bear fruits to glorify the Lord but instead of madam Eve understanding and taking the message of the tree she missed it.  Eve would have challenged herself that if trees can bear fruits that will make one wise it follows that bearing fruits is a sign that one is wise especially bearing the kind of fruits that is expected of us which requires being faithful in, because we are the stewards of God made to tend any garden we find ourselves. *Who then is the faithful, thoug...

APPEARANCE IS DECEPTIVE

Image
*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *APPEARANCE IS DECEPTIVE* *GENTLE REMINDER* tomorrow is Sunday be prepared* *Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings*.  *Gen.3.7*  Having known that they were naked they looked for a covering which was the major thing that they lost and all they could get was a fig leave, you can see that the devil will always show you the pleasure but will never allow you to understand the consequences not to talk of showing it to you. They ate from the tree and thought that the tree could provide a solution.  The tree that was to make them become like God never did and could not even give them a covering not to talk of being like God. Eve looked at the tree and found out that the tree can make one wise because of her mindset, her mind was set to do what she was asked not to do ...

ICHABOD

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *ICHABOD* *You are a star* *Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings*.  *Gen.3.7* We have said that what Adam and Eve lost was not just clothes but something more that clothes, a kind of covering that cannot be compared to clothing, a kind of covering that is more valuable than clothes. Am saying that there is something much more than clothes which is the glory of God and to loose this glory is to embrace something worse than shame and fear. Today i want us to take a look at what a covering is which many think is just mere clothes, in religious context covering speaks more than clothes but something that shields one from all form of danger and the worst form of danger is the danger of sin will ultimately leads to eternal death. Not to be covered is to be exposed to danger. ...

COSTLY MISTAKE

Image
*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *COSTLY MISTAKE * *That pit is not for you* *Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings*.  *Gen.3.7*  We have said that husband and wife being naked before each other is not what should make them ashamed and the bible did not tell us what they were ashamed of which means for them to be ashamed it means that what they were ashamed of something more than clothes and so for me they were shamed of the irreversible and costly mistake that they made.  Can you imagine them suddenly realising that what the serpent promised them was not what they saw? Can you imagine them hoping to be like God the moment their eyes got opened only to discover that they were not just like God but that they were less than who they used to be. They could no longer do what they used to ...

DIVINE COVERING

Image
*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *DIVINE COVERING * *Goodness and mercy are following you now* *Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings*.  *Gen.3.7*  Have you ever wondered what Adam and Eve were wearing before they discovered that they were naked? Did their nakedness make sense since they were alone? I can't imagine a husband and wife in the same house being ashamed of being naked it only tells me that there is something more than nakedness in their being naked.  Wait a minute, which other way does husband and wife know themselves if not by being naked so you can see that they were more than naked, for me I believe that it is a realization that something important has left them and has made them ashamed of themselves   Can you imagine a husband and wife being naked and asha...

YOU CANNOT GIVE WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE

Image
*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *YOU CANNOT GIVE WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE* *Your portion is from glory to glory* *Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings*.  *Gen.3.7* Having eaten of the tree of life and death and having acquired a new nature consequent upon eating of the tree of life and death they came to understand that they were naked and because they did not ask the devil how to remedy the situation they began to look for leaves to cover themselves. Permit me to submit to you that no matter the number of leaves that are available it cannot over the sins of any of us and what they don't understand is that they were no longer living but living corpses because the wages of what they have done(sin) is death and no leave can remedy that. *For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is ...

UNFRIENDLY FRIEND

Image
*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *UNFRIENDLY FRIEND * *GENTLE REMINDER, tomorrow is Sunday just trying to remind you sha* *Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings*.  *Gen.3.7* Let me start today by saying how curious i am in trying to know what made Eve to make sure that Adam eats from the tree of life, does it mean that she was not naked the moment she ate of the tree? If she became naked the moment she ate of the tree why did she give it to Adam? Was it because she saw it as the new normal? The bible made us understand that their eyes were opened the moment they ate of the tree but the truth of the matter is that both of them did not eat of it at the same time, does it mean that when the eyes of Eve got opened that she counted it an advantage to help her husband to come to that level of kn...

THE CONSEQUENCES IS YOURS

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *THE CONSEQUENCES IS YOURS* *Your dominion is established* *So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate*.  *Gen.3.6*  Remember that we said that the serpent twisted the whole thing because he knows that lies will never sell anywhere so for him to always have his way he tried as much as he could to make lies look like the truth so that people can buy it cheaply or fall or it cheaply  *The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding*. *Prov.9.10* Indeed Eve was wise but the kind of wisdom that she had was a pure kind of wisdom because the bible made us to understand that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, when she was obey...

THE CONSEQUENCES IS YOURS

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *THE CONSEQUENCES IS YOURS* *You will not lack* *So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate*.  *Gen.3.6*   We have talked so much about sycophancy and flattery and i have come to discover something that, after the serpent had succeeded in flattering Eve into error, I started looking for the serpent or waiting for the serpent to bear the consequences of Eves' error but the serpent was nowhere to be found.  Beloved, anybody can flatter you for all they care but no one will bear the consequences of the flattery for you. They will flatter you, collect all that they can get and leave you for the next person and leave you to bear the consequences of their flattery by yourself. ...

A SAINT IN ERROR

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *A SAINT IN ERROR * *You will not die* *So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate*.  *Gen.3.6*   We have said that one of the mechanisms with which the devil brings about our downfall is by sycophancy and we said that sycophants can stop at nothing until they flatter you into error because they will flatter you until they get something from you which is the principal reason they are flattering you in the first place.  Even when the flatterer knows that they are not telling you the truth they will still have to fan your ego and make you feel that you are the best thing that has ever happened to the world and they exaggerate to the point that you will have no option than to allow prid...

SYCOPHANCY

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *SYCOPHANCY* *You shall not die* *So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate*.  *Gen.3.6*  Today i want us to take a critical look at the worst cause of human downfall am talking about sycophancy. Sycophancy is a process whereby an individual is so much flattered to the point that the person begins to assume so much air to the point that the individual begins to raise his or her ego. One of the major problems of sycophancy is that it makes an individual to think that he is what he is not, it makes the individual to take the glory that belongs to God infact sycophancy will make one to think that he or she is God. Most times when one is been flattered the flatterer has a motive and the...

THE GREAT CONFUSION

Image
*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *THE GREAT CONFUSION* *Happy Sunday beloved* *So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate*.  *Gen.3.6*  This verse started by saying that when the woman saw, the word "when" is not a statement of a set time but a time that one chooses to do something so when the woman had been fully convinced she then saw the question that you and i need to ask is "did she not see it before or was she not seeing before. She has been seeing the tree before but now she " saw" the word saw here speaks of reconsideration, it speaks of making up your mind to give it a trial it speaks of trying to give it the kind of attention that you never did before. It means trying to do it no matter the consequences. ...

LUST OF THE EYE

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *LUST OF THE EYE * *Keep moving forward* *GENTLE REMINDER* *tomorrow is Sunday and i trust God that you will be in His presence* *So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate*.  *Gen.3.6*   Apart from the areas of concentration that Uncle John told us about us concerning the devil and our obedience to God there are few other things that i want us o take a look at today as it has to with us in the economy of salvation.  Let us take time to take a look at the major area of concentration of the serpent which Uncle John calls pride, if not pride what will make the woman think that she is not like God and wants to be more like God? No wonder the bible warns that p...

LUST OF THE EYE

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *LUST OF THE EYE* *Keep moving forward* *So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate*.  *Gen.3.6*  What we know is that apart from being tempted with what is around us the other ways we can be tempted is about what appeals to us, what we admire and what we wished we had as against what we have already, remember that we said that the woman was around the tree and from the fact the the bible made us to understand the she "saw" means that she has been admiring the tree before.  According to Uncle John, there are three areas that the devil concentrates on whenever he wants to tempt us and Uncle John gave us the list and they are 1 the lust of the flesh, 2 the lust of the eyes, and the pride of li...

TEMPTATION IS NOT SIN

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *TEMPTATION IS NOT SIN* *Be above only* *So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate*.  *Gen.3.6*   We have been talking so much about the discussion between the woman and the serpent but it must be made clear here that the serpent did not give the woman the tree to eat neither did the serpent force the woman to eat of it, the serpent only presented the tree to the woman in such a way that the woman will desire the tree. Let me start by saying that temptation is not a sin but the fall into temptation is what makes it a sin, ordinary temptation is just a suggestion to do what will make you disobey God or what you have vowed never to do and permit me to state it here that what the devil uses in...
