TEXT: "Anyone who is among the living has hope-even a living dog is better off than a dead lion" (Eccl 9:4 - NIV) 

It takes faith to receive anything from God according to Hebrews 11:6 which says without faith it is impossible to please God, but faith itself cannot produce anything without hope. It is what you hoped for that faith delivers to you, did you get my point? Anyone that is hopeless is helpless. If you are hopeless concerning any situation, you will be helpless in that situation. This is because when you give up on any issue in life, even God cannot help you. You know why? Without faith it is impossible to please Him and without hope there is no faith. If you are hopeless concerning any situation, don't expect any help from God. So, be hopeful.

I specially thank God for you and for every lover of Morning Tea Devotional all over the world for making it to the end of October 2022, our month of Divine Possibilities. You and I owe God thanks. Many see no reason why they should thank God! The truth is that God has done everything well for us in the MTD family. But I must say that even though we serve Jehovah God that is beyond limitation, some will still suffer frustration because they don't know how to provokes God's possibility power in their situations.

AFTER YOU HAVE DONE ALL - DO THESE

TEXT: "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand" (Eph 6:13)

Waiting on God when prayer is yet to be answered or when what we expected from God is yet to manifest is one of the hardest thing to do. There are times when we pray and trust God with everything in us and we so need Him to intervene and yet, nothing changes, same status quo - silence everywhere. At first, it’s easy to pray and wait with great expectancy for God to answer. But as the days and weeks and months and years roll on with no answer in view, we can begin to wonder whether God is even listening.

What to do at this period of your life is what I'm about to point out today:

IT PAYS TO WAIT ON GOD

TEXT: "My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him" (Psalms 62:5)

It is gainful to wait on God concerning any issue of concern in our life. Wait on God means to patiently look unto Him for what we need and the way out of any challenge we find ourselves. King David recognized why he had to wait on the Lord. Firstly, he said he will wait on God because his salvation came from Him (Ps. 62:1). David learned that no one else could deliver him. His only hope was in God (Ps 62:5), for God alone hears our prayers (Ps 62:8). For these reasons, he learned to wait on God.

POSSIBILITY POWER OF FAVOUR

TEXT: "Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled" (Psalms 30:7)

From scripture we discover that God always reserves the best for last. Vision is for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak (Hab 2:3). The possibility power of God shall manifest in your life within these few days remaining in Jesus name. One of the ways God makes the impossible possible in our lives is by giving us favour. From henceforth, you and I are going to be experiencing the favour of God in its fullness, in Jesus name.

Pressure inevitably comes at some points in our life. For instance, you could find yourself in an impossible deadline like bills to clear or rent to pay, you could find yourself in a financial need, health challenge, ministry challenge or marital issues, etc. The weight of the things we carry can at times appear to be beyond us and look impossible to overcome.

Welcome to the last week of October, our month of Divine Possibilities. My prayer for you and for every lover of MTD is that all impossible situations of your life shall be possible before this month/year is over, in Jesus name. 

Today, I want to emphasize again on the connection between divine instructions and divine possibilities. No one follows divine instructions and not end as possibilitarian.

Are you facing an impossible situation at the moment? Is what you’re asking God for sounds impossible and unlikely to come to pass? Is your faith being tried? Perhaps, you are feeling completely overwhelmed with problems with no solution in sight. Beloved, don't be discouraged, that impossible situation shall surrender to the God of Possibilities at work in MTD Family, in Jesus name.

FOCUS ON THE PROMISE AND NOT THE PROBLEM

TEXT: "But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me" (Matt 14:30)

Someone who focuses on the promise of God is someone who will be in command of the impossible. This was the case with Peter. Peter could walk on water because he focused on the word of Jesus to him. But the moment he shifted his eyes from the promise (word) to look at the problem, he started to sink. This is what is happening in many people's life today. 

ONLY BELIEVE

TEXT: "As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe" (Mark 5:36)

I want to start by saying to you that all things are possible with God and to you if only you believe. Most times, the problem is that many people, especially children of God don’t know how to receive what redemption had already offered to them. Jesus said in today's anchor scripture that if you and me can only believe, all things are possible to us. This means that the impossibilities of men are naturally possible with God and to us if only we believe.

SPIRITUAL APPROACH TO PHYSICAL SITUATIONS

TEXT: "...This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals" (Matt 14:15)

The impossible can be made possible when we stop seeing our situations from the physical point of view and see them from the spiritual point of view. The promises of God to us His children are spiritual, not physical. What that means is that spiritual promises of God to us require spiritual resources and approach from us for fulfillment. Impossible situations in our lives require spiritual solutions.

I welcome you to another week that God shall be carrying out His strange works and strange acts in and around you and me, in Jesus name. 

Be expectant! 

In the Bible, God chose three women to prove to the world that nothing is impossible with Him. He made them to become pregnant and have babies even when it was impossible to happen. Yes, women get pregnant all the time but, for these women, it was naturally impossible for them to get pregnant due to the circumstances that surrounded their lives.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF ALTAR

TEXT: "And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as  would contain two measures of seed" (1Kings 18:32)

One of the things that Elijah did that made the fire to fall was that he built an altar unto the Lord. What is the significance of this action?

Firstly, altars are places where the divine and human interact. Altars are places of exchange, places of communication and influence. We see God in scripture responding actively to altar activities. The contest between Elijah and the 450 prophets of Baal that involved an altar is a

Another secret to a world of possibility is revealed in the above anchor scripture which is:

3. UNITY. For the impossible to become possible in our lives, we must embrace unity. The Bible says that Elijah "took twelve stones according to the number of the sons of Jacob..." This symbolizes unity. The twelve stones represent the twelve tribes of Israel. Elijah's action demonstrated to us that where there is unity, anything is possible.

Every impossible situation in our lives can change to possibility if only we agree to follow biblical principles. For literal fire to come down from heaven was humanly impossible but, with God, all things are possible. Following God Almighty who specializes in turning impossible situation to be possible automatically translates us into the realm of possibility. Nothing will be impossible to us when we follow God that turns impossibilities to possibilities.

I've come to discover that impossibilities can be made possible if we dare to study and follow the revealed truths in God's Word. There are some hidden truths the Holy Spirit revealed to me from above anchor scripture that can make anyone walk in the realm of possibilities. It was logically impossible for literal fire to come down to consume a sacrifice in the days of Elijah but, it happened!

If you can understand the concept of faith and how faith works, you will live the rest of your life in the realm of possibilities. When others say there is a casting down, you will be saying there is a lifting up. Faith is the backbone of Christianity. Faith was the secret behind the acts of the apostles. Beloved, I want you to understand that faith is not waiting for God to work; faith is
