Faith Avenue: When Your Faith Is Tested TUESDAY, MARCH 28TH, 2023. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: WHEN YOUR FAITH IS TESTED! TEXT: [NLT] JAMES 1:3-4 For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything. Faith will always get to a testing point and at that point, pressure, challenges and trials are the things that will carry out the test. Faith is what gives your endurance the chance to grow and fully develop. Until your endurance grow and develop fully, you can never be strong in character and be ready for anything. God has a way of building up a man to be ready for anything and that's by putting his faith to test. God will put your faith to test just as He put the faith of Abraham to test. In [NLT] Genesis 22:1, the Bible says; Later on God tested Abraham's faith and obedience. "Abraham!" G...

Faith Avenue:  Salvation & Faith Welcome to another fresh offering of faith, served to bless. Enjoy. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2ND, 2022. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: SALVATION AND FAITH! TEXT: [MSB] EXODUS 14:13 Moses spoke to the people: "Don't be afraid. Stand firm and watch GOD do his work of salvation for you today. Take a good look at the Egyptians today for you're never going to see them again. Salvation thrives with faith and not with fear. The first work of salvation is redemption from sin and it is through faith and not through fear that one can have access to this privilege. To enjoy the benefits of salvation, one thing that must be completely eradicated is fear. Faith is what gives you access to enjoy everything in God, everything from God and everything through God. Fear had always been an impediment to coming close to God and it is only by faith that it can be crushed. According to the focal scripture for today...

Faith Avenue: Live For A Good Pay MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21ST, 2022. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: LIVE FOR A GOOD PAY! TEXT: [MSB] ISAIAH 3:10-11 "Reassure the righteous that their good living will pay off. But doom to the wicked! Disaster! Everything they did will be done to them. Both righteousness and wickedness have their rewards and it is the one a man lives for that will determine the kind of reward that he will receive. Righteousness is the same as godly living and good living while wickedness is the same as ungodly living and bad living. Righteousness comes with a good pay but wickedness comes with a bad pay. God rewards those who live righteously but He judges those who are wicked. Good and godly living commands huge blessing from the Lord and that is why it is very expedient for every Christ believer to stay committed to living righteously so that they can get a reward that will truly justify that they are righteous. According to the focal scripture...

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17TH, 2022. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: THE REALITY! TEXT: [NIV] PSALM 37:25 I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. It has never been on record that God has ever forsaken or abandoned the righteous. If God is ever going to consider forsaking a man, then it's not a righteous man because the only man that loves Him and seeks to do His will at all times is a man that is found to be righteous in all his ways. God doesn't forsake those who love Him. God stays and abides with those who loves Him and seeks to do His will at all times. You might have one or two people you have seen around who loves God and are doing His will at all times but are going through one challenge or the other. The truth is this: God never promised that the righteous won't get into trouble but He only promised that He would give them help in trouble. Psalm 60:11 According to the ...

Prayer can break the protocol of misfortune, the protocol of unproductivity and also the protocol of affliction. Anytime a man is afflicted or a land is afflicted, one of the weapons to utilize to ensure that the protocol of affliction is broken completely is to turn to God in the place of prayer.

Faith Avenue: Protocols That Can Be Broken By Prayers.  SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12TH, 2022. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: THE PROTOCOLS THAT CAN BE BROKEN BY YOUR PRAYERS [SERIES 2] TEXT: [MSB] GENESIS 25:21 Isaac prayed hard to GOD for his wife because she was barren. GOD answered his prayer and Rebekah became pregnant. The only way to communicate effectively with God is through prayers and when prayers are made to God, things around and within the man praying will never remain the same. Prayer is so effective to an extent that it doesn't just fulfil the purpose of talking to God only but it also fulfils the purpose of getting the things that He has not approved to be in your life that are already in your to find their way out of your life. Prayers don't just suspend protocols, it also breaks protocols completely. Prayer is not just made to break the protocol of misfortune only, it is also for breaking the protocol of unproductivity. When the ...

So God granted him what he requested. Apart from faith and obedience, prayer is also a protocol breaker because it is a means of communicating with God and there's no how you can get to communicate with God and some protocols won't be broken in and around your life. The protocol that can be broken by your prayers is the protocol of misfortune. To be misfortuned in life is to lack what it takes to be successful and prosperous in life. Misfortune is not part of the details of God's plans for your life but once it is n...

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10TH, 2022. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: THE PROTOCOL THAT CAN BE BROKEN BY YOUR OBEDIENCE [SERIES 5] TEXT: [NKJV] ROMANS 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. What is common among those who love God is obedience. All things work together for the good of those who love God and that means the same for those who obey God. Whatever happens in the lives of those who love God is exactly what will happen in the lives of those who are obeying God. The evident trait of those who love God is their act of obedience to God. The protocol that can be broken by your obedience as a lover of God is the protocol that tends to make all things work together against you. The Bible says in Numbers 23:23a that; "For there is no sorcery against Jacob, Nor any divination against Israel. This is exactly the same with those who love God and obey Him. Not...

DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: THE PROTOCOLS THAT CAN BE BROKEN BY YOUR OBEDIENCE [SERIES 3] TEXT: [NKJV] GENESIS 12:1-2 Now the LORD had said to Abram: "Get out of your country, From your family And from your father's house, To a land that I will show you. [2] I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. Obedience to God's Word is a force that can break rigid protocols and the protocol it can also break is the protocol of remaining less than who God wants you to become. What do I mean by being less than who God wants you to become? God's plan is to make you become great and anything less than that is a protocol that need to be broken. Obedience is an act that helps a man to cut a covenant of becoming great with God. Becoming great is part of the fundamental packages that your obedience to God's Word will release to you. You cannot be commi...

Faith Avenue: The Helper & The Helpless THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27TH, 2022. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: THE HELPER AND THE HELPLESS! TEXT: [NKJV] JOHN 5:6-8 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, "Do you want to be made well?" [7] The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me." [8] Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your bed and walk." Help usually exists where there is a close contact or cordial relationship between the helper and the helpless. Before help can be released from the helper to the helpless, there must have been a relationship or a close contact between them. God is an helper to every man that is helpless and for His help to be released, every man that wants to receive help from Him must initiate a cordial relationship with Him...
