1 KINGS 3:3 NKJV
 And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of his father David, except that he sacrificed and burned incense at the high places.

It's wisdom not to remove the ancient landmarks but it's also not expedient to stop and settle at what was already accomplished.

In our theme scripture we see King Solomon walking in the statutes of his father but he went an extra mile and he did something which was not done by David. The bible tells us that except that he sacrificed and burned incense.
There's a thing you can do which is not done before and that thing will provoke God to be moved and give you a blank check.

Ap Paul says that he labored more abundantly than they all, but this is a place where you compete with the old you so that you maybe better than what you were yesterday, not you being better than anyone. It's because fulfilling your divine purpose is  more important than working alot whose end is vanity.

When your in an organization, a mission team or anywhere and you succeed someone it's not your place to do much in order to be better than that person who was before you because they ran their race. But instead it's that you labor more because you understand the principal that *it's from glory to glory; John 14:12
 We labor more because we want to fulfill what's written about us and receive the price ahead of us not being better than anyone or proving anything.

JOT OF VERACITY
It's wisdom not to remove the ancient landmarks but it's also not expedient to stop and settle at what was already accomplished because you have to finish your race and fulfill what's written about you but not instead working to be or accomplish better than those who were before you.

✓ 1 Cor 15:10-11 NKJV 
✓ 1 Thess 4:11 ESV 

PRAYER
Lord God I thank You for our daily bread, I receive this Truth and I believe that it has come with it's power to cause me walk in it. Not to settle for less but to be the better me for the glory of God Amen

POWER OVER SIN

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DAILY DEVOTION Bible study department Sunday 16th June,2024 Galatians 5:24 (TLB) Those who belong to be Christ have nailed their natural evil desires to his cross and crucified them there.   POWER OVER SIN The strength for our conquering and our victory is drawn continually from Christ. The Bible does not teach that sin is completely eradicated from the Christian in this life, but it does teach that sin shall no longer reign over you.  The strength and power of sin have been broken. The Christian now has resources available to live above and beyond this world. The Bible teaches that whosoever is born of God does not practice sin. It is like the little girl who said that when the devil came knocking with a temptation, she just sent Jesus to the door. FURTHER STUDY: Romans 4:7(NKJV) Romans 6:14(NKJV) 1 John:18(NKJV) PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I Thank you for the power that continually make me live above sin, I live and move as a victor because the world finds ...

ELGON MISSION TEAM DAILY ~ DEVOTIONS Bible study department Saturday 13th January 2024 John 14:15-16 NKJV "If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD In this portion of scripture, Jesus is telling his disciples that they have to keep His commandments then by that is when He will ask God the Father to send them the helper, that will abide with them forever. Mark 12:30 - 31 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." There are many commandments that were given to the children of Israel but then we see Jesus Christ The Son of God enlightening us in this part of scripture that there is no other c...

Necessity Of Fasting

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DAILY DEVOTIONS Bible study department Thursday 13th June 2024 Mathew 17:21 (kJV)   "How beit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." NECESSITY OF FASTING In the book of Mathew 9:14-15,we realize that the groom left only when he spent 3 days in the grave. We all believe in His resurrection and the bible clearly tells us that when we received Him He begun to dwell in us, in other words the bridegroom is with us still. So why then do we fast?? Many christians have it on their minds that it's because they fast that they receive results simply because they received results after some serious days, weeks, months, or even years of fasting, this is a very inconsistent way to go about fasting because if you think that what Jesus did on the cross is not enough, then how much more is your fasting insufficient?? , you can't help God by fasting. Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 9:27(AMP) ".........but like a boxer, I buffett my...
