Ephesians 1:4 (MSG)
Long before He laid down the earth's foundations, He had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of His love, to be be made whole and Holy by His love. 

Rick Warren wrote in his book purpose driven live that, "It's only in God where we can discover our origin, identity, meaning, purpose, significance and destiny".

He knew all about us before we came to be, when, where and to who we were to be born, including our purpose and destiny. He is the author of us, and nothing about us is new or hidden from Him.

The fullest of us can only be revealed to us when we focus on Him who knew us before we were. Focusing on ourselves will never reveal the fullest of our life's purpose but rather focusing on God will. 

 Even in all what we do, the fullest of result is when we seek and understand His plan and will for us. Prov 16:3 tells us to commit our work and plans to Him, He will established.

What this means is to surrender all to Him before you take any step, or decision, and not to do and invite Him to be part. It means that before any step, you first be sure it's in His will because He knows all from the beginning.

JOT OF VERACITY
The fullest of us can only be revealed to us when we focus on Him who knew us before we were. Focusing on ourselves will never reveal the fullest of our life's purpose but rather focusing on God will.

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...
