Set Free To Serve
The Samaritan woman at the well did not remain the same when she heard and met with the Truth but was “set free to serve”, especially in the area of soul winning.
It is recorded in John 4:39-41 that; “Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Him because of the woman’s testimony, He told me everything I ever did”…….and because of those words many became believers.
Mary Magdalene, from whom seven demons came out, and the other women in Luke 8:1-3 who were cured of evil spirits and diseases, were not set free just to be onlookers and stagnant in Jesus’s ministry but to serve Him. All these people knew they were saved to serve and delighted themselves to support and serve the ministry. God took them from their daily provision to abundant blessing, removing devourers for their sakes (Malachi 3:11). They had more than enough to support God’s work and followed Him wherever He went.
In following Jesus, we must watch our speech, disconnect ourselves from the way of sinners and delight ourselves in the Word – The truth will set us free, to be blessed and be a blessing.
We are also set free to know the truth about marriage. Always remember that if you have a happy marriage you will make a good home and reproduce good children – “A happy Hen lays good eggs”. What role are you playing in Jesus’ ministry today? Is your role thriving or stagnated? Do you neglect the purpose for which you have been called?
Prayer: Lord fill me with Your Holy Spirit so that I can manifest according to Your plan and purpose for my life. Help me to manifest Christ Jesus in all my ways and deeds. Make me a vessel of honour in Jesus name.
You Will Flourish!
“Every bad and ungodly attitudes would only detour anyone from yielding good fruits.”
Such attitudes as anger, adultery, covetousness, evil desires needs to be rid of. You must ensure that your mind is continually cleansed and renewed by the Word – Matthew 1:18-20. You must dedicate yourself wholly to God and He must always have His way in your life, home, family and your will. By allowing this a new man will be born of you and you will have the power to overcome the flesh and every onslaught of the devil. If a man insist in his own ways he will be utterly destroyed, this is affirmed in Proverbs 14:12 “There is a way that seems right to a man,but it ends in the way of death”.
“You must be of understanding that not every fruit is delightful to God, therefore, your aim must always be to produce fruits that are delightful to Him.”
God is the source of our righteousness through His strength in us. In Isaiah 40:28 encourages us to trust in the Lord so that we do not grow weary but soar like the eagle. God just wants us to continually do that which is right before him and thus possess the land. Deuteronomy 6:18-19 “Do what is right and good in the Lord’s sight, so that it may go well with you and you may in and take over the good land the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors, thrusting out all your enemies before you, as the Lord said.”
Prayer: Lord create in me a clean and pure heart and renew a right spirit within me. Purge me of every uncleanness that reside in my heart so that I can flourish in Jesus name.

Go Back To The Secret Place
“Everything in your life will try to keep you away from from ‘The Secret Place’ – when that happens you will begin to fall in other areas and you ask yourself ‘Why is it such a battle'”
The secret place is where you meet with God to get instruction..correction…cleansing..loving and being built up for the future. Your secret place can be anywhere but it has to be somewhere, it can be set to anytime but it has to be sometime that is set. It has to be the most important appointment in your day.
Jesus is our example. He often rose before the day breaks to pray knowing what awaits Him. He makes deposits in the early mornings to be able to make withdrawals later in the day. Children of God without deposits made in “the secret place”, what would you have to draw on? You’ll work harder and harder and less to show for it, because you are operating in your own strength. But after you’ve prayed you will struggle less and accomplish more because you are operating in HIS strength.
“He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed” Isaiah 50:4
Do not get too involved in the work of the Lord that you neglect the Lord of the work. That is probably why Paul prayed, “I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him ….” Philippians 3:10
Nothing can be born without intimacy. Everything you really want to become is in God’s presence. Have you been there today?
Prayer: Father, if there is any area in my life that have been blind to knowing the essence of Your Presence take it away from me Lord. Open my heart to knowing Your will for me on daily basis.

About My Father’s Business
About My Father’s Business
Luke 2:49 “Why were you searching for me? He asked. Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”
Friends, there’s an account in the book of Luke about when Jesus and his parents went to Jerusalem for a feast. The bible says that at a point Joseph and Mary couldn’t find Jesus but finally found him in the temple. When they tried to scold him he told them to their astonishment that he was about his Father’s business.
As joint heirs with Christ, there is need for us to be kingdom-minded. The bible tells us to set our affections on heavenly things. Matthew 6:19-20 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor vermin will destroy, and where thieves do not break through in and steal”
It is the things we do in God’s kingdom that REALLY matters. “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and its righteousness and all other things will be added unto you” Soul-winning is the heartbeat of God. Jesus said “feed my sheep”.
On this glorious day that the Lord has made, ask yourselves the following question today:
AM I A BUSY-BODY IN OTHER PEOPLE’S MATTER OR AM I ABOUT MY FATHER’S BUSINESS?
God knows exactly where the shoe pinches. As you take care of God’s business, he’ll take care of yours!
I pray in the mighty name of Jesus that God will perfect ALL that concerns you. Be blessed in Jesus’ mighty name!
Have a glorious week!
