SCRIPTURE: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. Luke 10:42.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: God is the Person to look for; God is the Need of your life.
The Scripture makes it clear that looking unto man is an invitation to curses (Jeremiah 17:5).
One day, I travelled with my wife to meet a highly anointed man of God. I had watched his videos and heard that he was going to the city of Lagos, Nigeria. I needed to see this man of God because of the impact of watching his videos.
My wife and I travelled all the way from Abuja to Lagos to see this man of God, but the person who hosted him refused to allow us to see him.
And to be honest, at that time, we were not struggling in ministry.
So, my wife and I went to our hotel room where we stayed feeling terribly bad. Then the Lord told me, “What you are looking for is not with a man but with Me. I can pass it through a man to you but it is with Me. If you look unto me, you will get it”. From that day, I decided to desperately press into God and God began to help us massively.
One day, the same man I wanted to see sent people from his country to come and look for me. He said, “I have heard so much about you and what God is doing with you. I would like to be associated with you.”
Then, he gave me an invitation to minister in their church. I travelled and preached in their church on a Sunday morning in multiple services, and from that day, that man has not been able to leave me alone.
You see, I went to look for the man and I was prevented from seeing him. God asked me to look for Him. I looked for God and God made the man to look for me. God is the person to look for; God is the need of your life.
Remember this: God is the person to look for; God is the need of your life.

QUOTE: God will bless people who have an unmistakable identity – GOD FIRST! They are known by that anywhere. There is no confusion. God is identified with them and they are identified with God. Culled from “21 UNCOMMON KEYS TO FINANCIAL OVERFLOW” by Dr Paul Enenche.

AMAZING FACT: From reservoirs, to the air and back to surface water again, water is always in motion. It is the hydrologic cycle that describes how water moves on, above and below the surface.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: As you look unto God, He shall cause you to see beyond what man can do for you in Jesus’ Name.
