ACTS 17:26-27 KJV
And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth and hath determined the times before appointed and the bounds of their habitation. That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him and find him though he be not far from every one of us 

FEEL AFTER GOD
The theme scripture reveals that God determined our appointed times and boundaries of habitation so we may seek him, FEEL AFTER Him and find Him. 
Feeling after God means that you have His heart and mind towards things. What He loves, you love; what hurts Him, hurts you; what He attends to, you attend to. 

Before God releases anything to your heart, He examines it to see whether it meets with how He feels about the things that matter to Him. For this reason, there are things God can never give you access to when He has not weighed how much you feel after Him. 

God is very serious about the gospel. He is extremely serious about ministry and about the souls of men. For any child of God who has made up their mind to serve Him, they ought to feel after God. 

✍️ That is why It is not always advisable to play with the anointing; don't play with the word; don't play with ministry; don't play with prayer; with worship or service. Don't play in the gospel! If you want God to take you seriously, never play with the things of God.

PRAYER
Father, I thank you for Your Word. It enlightens my spirit and causes me to treat as sacred the things of the spirit. I esteem the things that are esteemed in this gospel, I honour that which You honour, love that which You love, desire what You desire and despise what You despise. Such is the pattern of my life. In Jesus’ name. 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...
