LIVING WATER CAC DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE For August 18, 2019 : TOPIC - BE OPTIMISTIC

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

TOPIC - BE OPTIMISTIC

Read Micah 7:1-8

1. Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.

2. The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
3. That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
4. The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
5. Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
6. For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
7. Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
8. Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.

MEMORISE: Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; when I fall, I will arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me (Micah 7:8)

EXPOSITION
Things may seem not favourable to you, today. It doesn't mean it is all over with you. What matters is the state of your mind. The law of correspondence states, "What goes on within is what goes on without" (cf. Matt. 12:34b); the more reason you should believe that good things are on the way, despite your present situation (Psa. 30:5b). The good God is always at work.
At a time, Israel's enemies were mocking her because of her precarious situation. Yet, Israel did not allow her enemy's mockery to weigh her down. Having realised that her sins brought her the suffering, she repented, and God forgave her, promising her the times of refreshing. In our memory scripture, Prophet Micah spoke optimistically on behalf of the nation, believing that their downfall would not be their end. Your precarious situation today is not the end of your life. You just need to be optimistic in the Lord.

You must possess the inner capacity to live beyond your present situation. Do not allow what you experience to take charge of your thinking faculty. Learn to think positive and utter positive, Bible-based words, even if the reverse is the case (cf. Psa. 118:17). Christians are expected to walk by faith, not by sight. Goodness and mercy are following Christians all the days of their lives (2 Cor. 5:7; Ps. 23:6). If you are of God, He will never allow your sorrowful situation to prevail over you (Psa. 37:23-24). Let your thoughts and words agree to what God says about you, regardless of your present situation, or what the devil says. The Lord's word is that "you will surely rise again" (Prov. 24:16).

PRAYER POINTS
1. No matter the situation today, my future will be better than today, in Jesus' name.
2. Lord, grant me the capacity to live above my feelings and situation today.
3. Lord, continue to uphold me with Your right hand of righteousness in the midst of the challenges of life.

EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: Psalms 44:6 - 48:5; Romans 9:28 - 10:16
