THE KOINONIA DAILY DEVOTIONAL

                      IF you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all His commands i give you today, The LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. Deuteronomy 28:1 It is God's desire to see His children winning in life. ...And He blessed man said, Be fruitful, Multiply, Subdue, Dominate, Replenish the earth (Genesis 1:28). The downfall of man brought about the disconnection of fellowship between God and man. But thanks be to God who through the blood of His dear Son reconciled us back to Him. Beloved, you are designed to rise above failures, sickness, death, stagnation, any form of delay, etc. you are not meant to be beneath in life. It is an error to live life below God's standard of living. He expects us to live above only. Child of God, for every new phases in life there are principles that must be observed. It is the principle you obey that determines your destination in ...

WEDNESDAY 17TH JULY YOU ARE GOD'S RESIDENCE Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16) 1 Corinthians 6:19 says: do you not know that your body is the temple, the very Sanctuary  of the Holy Spirit who lives within you, whom you have received (as a gift) from God? You are not your own. From the above scriptures, we understand that we are God's dwelling and His residence on earth. Of all the mighty truths in connection with pur redemption, this is the apex of the reality of our redemption; that after God himself recreated us, made us new creatures in Christ and made us His own, then He in the person of the Holy Ghost, makes our bodies His home. The believer through the new birth. No longer does God dwell in the earth-made Holiest of Holies. Our bodies have become His temple. From scriptures we understand that God's presence was kept enclosed in the Holiest of Holies. No one dare approached there except t...

Monday 15th July DEALING WITH NEAR-SUCCESS SYNDROME When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without. (Hosea7:1) Just when God was about to heal Israel the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered and the wickedness of Samaria was also discovered. The big question is, why were these things not discovered after the healing, why must it be discovered at the set time of their breakthrough. This has been the experience of many today. There are people under the attack of near- success syndrome. The spirit that attacks progress and breakthroughs. It is a spirit that has stopped many from from eating the fruit of their labour. The children of Israel were so close to their healing when all of a sudden the unexpected happened. These are time sensitive attacks. This was what David meant in (Psalm59:3);"see how they lie in wait for me! Fie...

SUNDAY 14TH JULY BORN FOR DOMINION Then God said, let us make man in our image, according to our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. (Genesis 1:26). When God made man, He gave man dominion over everything on earth. To have an idea of the kind of dominion that man would have had if he had not sinned, let's look at the perfect man Jesus Christ. When Jesus wanted to pay the temple tax, He only needed to command a miracle money into a fish and sent his discipline to get it ( Matthew 17:24-27). When He wanted to feed the multitude, He only needed to multiply five loaves of bread and two fishes in His hands(Mark 6:34-44) and many other miracles Jesus did, manifesting His dominion on earth. He even brought the dead back to life because He had dominion over death. Child of God, you can walk in the same dominion Christ walked while on e...

Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord (2 Peter 1:2) It is possible to walk in a greater measure of God's favour. Our scriptural text says that grace, which is undeserved favour of God, and peace can be multiplied to you. Peace here is the word "shalom"in Hebrew. Its definition includes wholeness, health, safety, and provision. So when you walk in Divine favour and peace, you experience blessings in every area of your life. But how do the undeserved favour and shalom of God increase in your life? It is not by your labouring or toiling to earn it. The Bible says it comes as your knowledge of Jesus and his finished work increases. it comes to you as you learn more about Jesus and also believe in Him. God's favour is multiplied in your life when you simply believe that the favour of God that is on Christ is also in you because of what Jesus did on the cross for you. Even Jesus while on earth enjoyed increased or multiplied f...
