THE DAILY ENCOURAGER - AUGUST EDITION

H E A R T T O H E A R T 

Be Encouraged, 

No matter how much we've accomplished or how many mistakes we've 

made, whether we're resting or facing huge life challenges . . . God 

promises that He will make your life new every day. 

When the sun comes up in the morning, His goodness, love and favor are 

new, creating new opportunities for your life. God's Word says, "The 

faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is 

His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning" 

(Lamentations 3:22-23). 

Do you wake up expecting God to do great things in your life, or do you 

wake up worried and anxious about all the problems you're going to face? 

In Psalm 5:3 David asks of the Lord: "Listen to my voice in the morning, 

Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly." 

David was a man a er God's own heart. He knew God and saw the Lord do 

incredible and miraculous things in his life. 

What you pursue in the morning sets the tone for your whole day. I 

encourage you to spend time in God's Word, apply it to your life and 

determine to set the tone for each day by rising with the purpose of God's 

love shining through you. As you do, you'll enlarge your vision and make 

room for God to do amazing things in every area of your life! 

Let this months issue of THE DAILY ENCOURAGER DEVOTIONAL, 

encourage you to follow God wholeheartedly. Each devotion will reveal 

more of Gods amazing love towards you and teach you how to remain 

strong in Him in spite of life s challenges. I love you, and will keep 

praying that you would experience everything God has for you every day. 

You are an overcomer.

AUGUST 1 

Today's Scripture 

“All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the 

LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give all of you into 

our hands.” 

1 Samuel 17:47 

VICTORY IS MINE! 

"Victory is mine, Victory is mine, Victory today is mine. I told old Satan 

get thee behind, Victory today is mine." I hope YOU remember that 

song... 

We're not ghting for Victory, we're ghting from Victory, because of 

what Jesus has already done for us! 

Everything we will ever need for the victory in every situation was 

provided for at the cross. That s why we can con dently say that Victory 

is Mine, The Victory is always Mine, when I put my faith and trust in The 

Lords amazing ability instead of my own! 

Some times you are too worried as you face certain problems. This is 

because you think you have to ght the battle yourself. The Lord says, 

The battle is not yours, but Gods you will not have to ght this 

battle. Take up your positions, Stand rm and see the deliverance the 

Lord will give you do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to 

face them and the Lord be with you. 

You have been promised victory in every area of your life. You can 

defeat the enemy and overcome any obstacles because of the allsurpassing 

goodness of your Heavenly Father. The battle belongs to the 

Lord. If you're at a crossroads, remember that God has already 

provided the VICTORY! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

My Dear Heavenly 

Father, thank You for 

empowering me to 

live in victory today. I 

choose to take my life 

back by taking captive 

every thought and 

submitting it to You. 

Help me live a life that 

is pleasing to You, 

Jesus, today and every 

day in Jesus name. 

Amen!

THE DAILY ENCOURAGER 



“Then he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by 

might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts.” 

Zechariah 4:6 

LET GO AND LET GOD! 

When we are faced with oppositions outside and discouragement 

within, when we have done all we know to do and still can't make 

headway, it's time to let go and let God, let His Spirit direct and carry 

you. If He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulder, surely He 

can and will carry you. 

Don t try to accomplish everything in life by your emotions or your 

intellect or your resources, depend on the Holy Spirit!! The Holy Spirit is 

greater than any human power, or potential. Man is a limited resource, 

but God is limitless. 

There are some things in life that can t happen by human thinking and 

reasoning. There are things that won t be solved by natural power and 

might. But God is not limited by the resources of this world. When you 

open the door of faith in your heart, God will move through you in 

powerful ways by His Spirit. 

The victory over your present predicament shall be not by your might 

or your self-ability, it shall not by your power or external forces, but it 

shall be by MY SPIRIT SAYS THE LORD! 

When in discouragement, remind yourself that this one is not on me, 

THIS ONE IS ON GOD! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father God, thank You for 

placing Your dreams and 

desires within me and for 

creating a plan to bring 

them to pass. Even when I 

can t see a way, I trust that 

You are making a way. You 

are good, and today I 

declare that Your gracious 

hand is upon every area of 

my life in Jesus name! 

Amen.

“We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are 

perplexed, but not driven to despair.” 

2 Corinthians 4:8 

PRESSED, BUT NOT CRUSHED! 

Sometimes the only way you and I can learn some of the valuable life 

lessons GOD wants to teach us is to go through times of trouble and 

hardship. Sometimes the only way we can learn the value of good health 

is to experience some health problems. Sometimes the only we can 

learn the value of our marriage relationship is to through some trials 

and troubles. Sometimes the only way we can learn the value of seeking 

GOD'S WISDOM in our decisions is for GOD to allow us to suffer the 

consequences of our own foolish choices. 

You and I may not see it at the time, but sometimes our troubles are 

actually blessings in disguise. Sometimes GOD allows us to experience 

troubles in the present to PROTECT US from greater heartache and 

trouble later. Sometimes GOD uses troubles to direct us, sometimes to 

inspect us, sometimes to correct us, sometimes to protect us and 

sometimes God uses troubles to perfect us. 

No matter what we face, no matter how dif cult the storms of life, it will 

not last forever, we will be preserved not pickled. Because if God be for 

us who can stand against us? Greater is He that is in you, than he that is 

in the world. 

WE ARE HARD PRESSED, BUT NOT CRUSHED! 

WE ARE PERPLEXED, BUT NOT IN DESPAIR! 

WE ARE PERSECUTED, BUT NOT FORSAKEN! 

WE ARE STRUCK DOWN, BUT NOT DESTROYED! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father God, Thank you for 

yo u r p r o t e c t i o n a n d 

provision. Thank you for 

strengthening me every 

day on the journey with 

y o u . N o m a t t e r h o w 

dif cult the storms of life, 

I know it will not last 

forever because you are 

always with me through it 

all, in Jesus mighty name. 

Amen!

“....Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope 

and confidence” 

Jeremiah 17:7 

KEEP HOPE ALIVE! 

We have to learn to keep hope alive when the enemy comes against us. 

We can t live life without hope. For as long as God is alive we have a 

reason to keep hope alive. 

Keep hope alive when things look dark and dreary. Keep hope alive 

when your weakness is greater than your strength. Keep hope alive 

when your enemies are more numerous than your friends. Keep hope 

alive when your sorrow is more potent than your joy. Keep hope alive 

when your blessings are delayed. Keep hope alive when your setback is 

not turning into a comeback soon enough. 

Sometimes God uses waiting to test the genuineness of our hope. Is our 

hope really in Him, or are we just trying to use Him to get what we want? 

Real hope waits; it perseveres. It doesn t give up. It remains faithful; it 

continues to believe and obey, and it looks to God alone for what it 

seeks, no matter how long it takes. 

Don t give up. Don t stop hoping. Don t stop praying. God loves you more 

than you can imagine. 

Prayer 

For The Day 


blessing me as I put my 

trust in You. Today, I set 

my heart and mind on 

You. I praise You for Your 

g o o d n e s s a n d 

faithfulness. I receive 

Your blessing upon every 

area of my life in Jesus' 

name. Amen!

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into 

practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” 

Matthew 7:24 

ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK I STAND! 

The foundation on which you build, determines the stability of the 

entire building. And it may determine if you live or die. A poor 

foundation can bring the house crashing down around you. But when 

we build our lives on the spiritual foundation of Christ, the Rock, we 

will stand through the trials and pains of this life. 

Unless we are committed to build our life upon Jesus and His Word, 

learn and put into practice every precept, we are not anchored to the 

Solid Rock. Our lives will continue to be lled with frustration. We will 

continue to be dissatis ed with the progress of our life. We will 

continue to have no sense of real accomplishment. And when the 

storms of life come, and they will, we WILL fall. Let us stand on Christ 

the solid Rock and let s build on the solid Rock of Christ revealed in the 

Word and keep building on Him alone. For any other foundation is just 

sinking sand. 

Place all of your trust in Him. Fix your eyes on Him. Follow Him. He is 

your righteousness. Then, when the storms of trouble hit your life, 

when satan huffs and he puffs and tries to blow you down, you'll stand 

rm because you re standing on the SOLID ROCK OF CHRIST!! 

Prayer 

For The Day 


Your Word which is a 

lamp to my feet and a 

light to my path. I 

choose to hide Your 

Word in my heart. I 

choose to meditate on 

Your promises. I know 

that You are faithful to 

Your Word and thank 

You for rock-solid 

faith as I keep my 

h e a r t a n d m i n d 

focused on You in 

Jesus name. Amen!

“Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, 

I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee.” 

2 Kings 20:5 

PRAYER CHANGES THINGS! 

In your time of misery, dif culties and challenges, it is very normal to 

expect to hear good news or positive words of prophecy. Hezekiah in his 

sick state didn't give up on himself and never accepted the word of God 

from the Prophet Isaiah. 

His prayer and tears was enough to turn the negative word of the Lord 

into a positive one. It doesn't matter what has been spoken against your 

life, you have the power to turn it into your favour. You have the power to 

determine what will happen to you at every stage of your life. Hezekiah's 

change came because he turned his face to the wall and prayed. 

We must Pray Until Something Happens. There is power in the effective 

and fervent prayer of a believer. Never relent in your prayer and quest 

for an encounter with God. Hezekiah's reversal of his death sentence 

came because a er turning his face to the wall he reminded God of how 

righteous he has been. 

The blessing of the Lord is upon you from the crown of your head to the 

soles of your feet. You can walk in that promise. I believe God wants to 

deliver you from every in rmity TODAY. If you will call on His name, 

you will see the power of God demonstrated in your life! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, I choose to stay in 

constant prayer with you 

at every stage of my life. 

Empower me to never 

leave your feet. Help me 

go through each day with 

it challenges knowing that 

you will deliver me from 

e v e r y i n 

r m i t y a n d 

answer my prayers. In 

J e s u s m i g h t y n a m e . 

Amen!

“Thousands upon thousands are waiting in the valley of decision. There the 

day of the LORD will soon arrive.” 

Joel 3:14 

GOD WILL MEET YOU IN THE VALLEY! 

Every one of us goes through valley experiences in our lives, in fact 

these valley experiences are part of life. Every time we go through these 

valley experiences we tend to wonder why God allows us to go through 

them. 

I have no way of knowing what you are facing right now. It may be that 

the devil has and is using the tool of discouragement in your life. It may 

be that you feel defeated and a million miles away from the mountain 

top. Let me just remind you one more time that God is God when you are 

on the mountain and He is also still God when you are down in the 

valley. 

The valley can drive you to do things that you would not ordinarily do. 

The valley can cause you to give up. The valley can devastate you, but it 

does not have to be so. Jesus said, In the world you shall have 

tribulations: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. You 

will have many trials and sorrows, there will be people who will 

misunderstand you; they will criticize you, talk evil about you, and 

judge you unfairly in the valley. 

The secret to enjoying the mountains and the valleys is learning that 

God is in control. If you can do that, then whether you are on top or 

bottom, you will always be on the mountain in your heart and victory 

will always be yours. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Heavenly Father, thank 

You for Your faithfulness 

in my life. Thank You for 

walking with me even in 

the hard times. I trust that 

You are taking me through 

my circumstances to a 

place o f v i c t o r y a n d 

strength in Jesus name. 

Amen!

“Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; In whose heart are the ways 

of them. Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; The rain 

also filleth the pools.” 

Psalm 84:5-6 

COMFORT IN THE VALLEY! 

Is it possible for a man to be in the valley and still nd comfort? Oh! Yes. 

The God we serve is the God of the mountains as well as the God of the 

valleys. He can give as much comfort in the valley as He would on the 

mountain. So, wherever you may be right now, either on the mountain 

or in the valley, there is comfort for you in Jesus name. 

This is what David saw when he wrote in the Psalm 84: 5-6; that those 

that have made God their strength will turn their valleys into wells of 

water. May I pray for you today that wells of water will spring out of 

every valley of your life in Jesus name. 

The valley is not your nal destination. So, don t build a house there. 

Just refresh yourself with the water from the well and move on in your 

life s journey. Dig into the grace of God Dig more in Prayers Dig 

more in worship Get refreshed and continue with your journey. Your 

destination is glorious in Jesus name. 

Every dif culty overcome means a higher strength to overcome 

dif culties. I pray that the Lord will empower you to overcome all 

dif culties around your life in Jesus name. May the Lord will visit you in 

that valley and give you the comfort that will strengthen you to move up 

in life in Jesus name. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, Thank you for 

visiting me in the valley 

a n d p r o v i d i n g m e 

comfort. Today I ask that 

out of every valley, cause 

water of refreshment to 

spring up for me. Grant

strength to overcome 

every life dif culties in

“How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be 

numbered! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! 

And when I wake up, you are still with me!” 

Psalm 139:17-18 

WAKE UP TO GOD' S LOVE! 

Did you know God is thinking about you right now? He thinks about you 

constantly. You are always on His mind. God knows all about you and He 

cares, because He loves you. Aren t you glad that God cares! He watches 

over you and knows your every need. His love has no limits. His power 

knows no end. And God will never leave you, nor forsake you. 

How much more will Jesus care for those who are his own! There is no 

depth, no height, no place at all where we can go where Jesus will not be 

there too. All through the long night of loneliness, God is watching over 

you. When it seems that the world has come crashing in upon you, God 

is still there with you, holding you up. When it seems that hope is gone, 

He brings new hope to you in the hour of need. And when it seems that 

no one cares, don t ever forget that God loves you and He is ever 

watching over you. 

Gods desire for your life is that you have all the blessings you can handle 

and then some more. He wants you to have an abundant life, spiritually 

and physically. He wants you to feel love, to know peace, to experience 

joy and happiness, and to be ful lled in all that you do. How great is 

Gods love! How great is His provision! 

Don t let loneliness get you down. Don t let the devil steal your joy! There 

is an abundance of love, companionship and joy in the Lord. Keep your 

eyes on Him. Focus on Him. Give your heart to Him and place your life 

in His hands. Jesus will see you through. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, how awesome is 

your love. Thank You for 

thinking of me today. 

Thank You for the good 

work you are doing in my 

life. I receive Your love 

which drives out all fear. 

M a k e m e n e w a s I 

meditate on You. In Jesus 

Name. Amen!

“But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, 

you are only fooling yourselves.” 

James 1:22 

OBEDIENCE TO GOD'S WORD ! 

The Word of God is the source of strength and the source of spiritual 

maturity. If you don t stay in the Word, the Word wont stay in you. God 

intended for us to apply the Bible to our lives, not just read it. The Bible 

is about transformation, not just information. 

If you want to wake up in the morning with your mind on God, in order 

to walk and talk with your mind on God, in order to be singing and 

praising with your mind on God, you got to stay in the Word. 

Is the Word of God important in your life? Does the Word of God have 

meaning to you? Can you stand on the promises of God? If the Word of 

God is not important in your life, you will never live the kind of life that 

God intends for you to live. You ll have salvation, but no strength. You 

will run but you will get weary, you will walk and you will faint. For the 

bible says, They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. If 

you want to be strong in the Lord, you need to get into the Word. 

If you obey The Word of God, it will change you. It changed Peter from a 

cussing sherman to a preaching pastor. It changed Matthew from a tax 

man to a gospel writer. Paul had gone from a heartless killer to a holy 

life changer. And every time a man or woman comes into contact with 

the Word of God, there is de nitely going to be a change. 

Whenever the Word of God comes real in your life and you become a 

doer and not just a hearer, you can t stay to same. I encourage you to dive 

into the WORD OF GOD daily. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, thank You for Your 

grace, favor and mercy 

upon my life. I praise You 

today because You are 

good. I receive Your truth 

by faith and rise up to walk 

in my calling. I know that 

You are going before me to 

prepare the way as I walk 

in Your favor all the days 

of my life in Jesus name. 

Amen! 

13




“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things. 

which you do not know.” 

Jeremiah 33:3 

JUST CALL HIM! 

The same way God assured Jeremiah he should call upon Him, and He 

God would answer, He is assuring you and I to call on Him too. His 

answers would be marvelous, for not only does God know the future, He 

holds the future in His hands, and more meaning fully, He holds our 

future in His hands. 

We don t have to call on God only when we are in trouble. Call when 

you re happy and rejoice in His blessings. Call when you re sad and nd 

His comfort. Call when you re depressed and hear His word of 

encouragement. Call when your world is upside down and watch Him 

reveal a new world to you. Call when your burden is heavy and the Holy 

Spirit will come and pray for you. Call when your strength is too little 

and your faith is too weak. Then He will mount you on eagles wings, you 

will run and not be weary, you will walk and talk together and not faint. 

The Bible says; And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on 

the name of the Lord shall be delivered" (Joel 2:32). Whatever your 

problem... Whatever your situation... Whatever your burden... 

Whatever your need, God has just the right answer for you. Be 

encouraged. Be strengthen. Call upon the Lord God! 

Prayer 

For The Day 


goodness and faithfulness 

in my life. I choose to cast 

my cares on You. I choose 

to trust even when I don t 

understand. I choose to 

believe that You have a 

good plan and will bring 

me to a ourishing nish 

in Jesus name! Amen.

“But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the 

Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every 

morning; great is your faithfulness.” 

Lamentations 3:21-23 

GOD OF A SECOND CHANCE! 

Sometimes when we make a mistake in life it feels so nal, you may 

think it s all over for you. The game of life isn t like a game in which you 

only have 1 (ONE) chance to win before it s over. God will give you a 

second chance. 

I wonder, is there any person reading this DAILY ENCOURAGER right 

now who has been in a situation in which you really wanted something 

to work out but it didn t? You felt like if I just had a second chance, I 

know I could make this thing work. When we look back over our life, at 

some of the situations that we have been involved in and some of the 

choices that we have made, we think, if only I had a second chance. 

Sometimes when we make a mistake in life it feels so nal. When you 

make a serious mistake you might think its all over for you. I want to let 

you know that the game of life isn t like a game in which you only have 1 

(ONE) chance to win before it s over. I want to let you know that when 

you make a mistake in this life, with God you get a 2nd (SECOND) 

chance. 

Your future is not determined by your past. Your future is not 

determined by what you used to be. Your future is not determined by 

what you used to do, but your future and my future is determined by 

who Jesus Christ is and what He can and will do. Jesus Christ is the same 

today and yesterday. There is no secret, what God can do, what He s 

done for others He ll do for you. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, today I declare my 

thanks to You for all You 

have done in my life. Help 

me see Your hand of 

blessing as I continually 

acknowledge and praise 

You for all You have done 

in Jesus name! Amen.

“Kings and queens will serve you and care for all your needs. They will bow to 

the earth before you and lick the dust from your feet. Then you will know that I 

am the LORD. Those who trust in me will never be put to shame.” 

Isaiah 49:23 

NEVER DISAPPOINTED! 

What a powerful promise we have from Almighty God! When we put 

our hope in Him, we will never be disappointed. Of course, that doesn t 

mean that things will always go our way. There may be temporary 

disappointments, but we will never be permanently disappointed. 

Somewhere down the road, God will cause it to all work out for our 

good. With God on your side, you will always end in victory! 

Are you carrying frustration, worry or aggravation about something? 

That s usually a clear sign that your hope is in the wrong place. If you 

hope in circumstances, it will deplete you of joy and peace. But when 

you turn those circumstances over to God, when you refuse to worry, 

when you refuse to allow the temporary things of this world to dictate 

your happiness, that s when God can do a work in your life. When you 

trust in Him, He will make your crooked places straight; He will cause 

you to mount up with wings like the eagle. 

Today, choose to put your hope in the Father; you won t be 

disappointed. Trust Him because He is faithful. Find rest for your soul 

in knowing that He is good, and He has good things in store for your 

future! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, today I give You 

every frustration, every 

a g g r a v a t i o n , e v e r y 

dif culty. I release total 

control into Your loving 

and able hands. Speak to 

my heart and give me Your 

peace. Show me Your love 

as I place my hope in You 

in Jesus name. Amen.

“Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be 

given to you as well” 

Matthew 6:33 

PUT GOD FIRST IN EVERYTHING! 

There are so many things that clamor for our attention and devotion: 

our jobs, our kids, our spouses, our friends; the demands and 

distractions of life. And we have to be careful not to let them become 

more important or more of a priority than our relationship with God. 

The key to having God's abundant life is keeping Him in His rightful 

place in our priorities. Whatever you put God rst in, that s what He 

blesses. 

We desperately need to seek God with all of our hearts so that we can 

learn His ways and allow Him to reveal His purposes for our lives. If you 

want the devil to leave you alone, Let God be First. 

When you decide to serve God with your whole heart and make Him 

rst in your life, your soul will prosper and your joy and peace will 

increase. Remember to lean on Him more than anything else, and tell 

Him, God, I want to do this, but I can t do it without You. He doesn t 

expect you to live for Him in your own strength or ability, and He 

understands when you make mistakes. 

So if you mess up, don t be discouraged and let it hold you back; confess 

it and keep going. God will give you grace to do what you need to do. One 

day at a time you and God together can do anything! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Lord, I want to thank You 

for giving me a place 

where I can be ful lled 

and blessed as I serve You. 

Give me the wisdom and 

patience to know where to 

go to 

nd this special 

place of Your blessing. In

“.....but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will 

soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk 

and not be faint.” 

Isaiah 40:31 

RENEWAL OF STRENGTH! 

Do you need your strength renewed today? The scripture tells us that 

when we hope in the Lord, that's exactly what will happen, our strength 

will be renewed. If you've grown weary and tired, overwhelmed by the 

cares of this world, it's a clear sign that you need to change what you're 

putting your hope in. Are you putting your hope in your job? The 

government? The economy? Another person? Those are all things that 

will change. But when you hope in the Lord, you are investing in the 

Rock of Ages! He never changes! He is the only solid foundation for your 

soul. 

Waiting on the Lord means you re putting your trust and hope in Him. 

You re living with an attitude of faith and expectancy. In the natural, if 

you are waiting for someone like a special dinner guest, you probably 

aren t just sitting around the house wondering what will happen. No, 

you re probably preparing for that special person, straightening the 

house and making sure everything is perfect for their arrival. Most 

likely, you started weeks in advance making the menu and deciding 

what to wear! In the same way, when you are waiting on the Lord, it 

doesn t mean you are just sitting around. It means you are preparing for 

Him. 

Are you ready for God to move on your behalf? Are you waiting on Him? 

As you take a step of faith, He ll meet you there. As you renew your 

mind with the Word of God, you'll nd strength, you'll nd hope, and 

He ll renew your strength and lead you into victory in every area of your 

life! 

Prayer 

For The Day 


promise to renew my 

strength. I choose to wait 

on You. I choose to trust 

You. I choose to prepare 

for You to move mightily 

in my life in Jesus name!

“I am confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the 

living.” 

Psalm 27:13 

SEE GOD S GOODNESS! 

David was going through tough times when he made the declaration in 

today's verse. Things weren't going his way. But he said in effect, "I'm not 

worried. I'm not upset. I am con dent I will see God's goodness." In 

other words, "This situation I'm in may be rough, but that's not going to 

steal my vision. That's not going to cause me to give up on my dreams. I 

am con dent that this year, I will see God's favor in a new way." 

That's what our attitude needs to be today because what you focus on is 

what you will see. No matter what the medical report says, no matter 

what your nances look like, no matter how bad that relationship may 

seem, be con dent that you will see His goodness! He is the allpowerful, 

omniscient, Creator of the Universe, and He holds you in the 

palm of His hand. 

Nothing is too dif cult for Him. Take hold of this truth by faith and 

focus on His goodness today. Allow His peace to settle in your heart and 

mind as you move forward in His blessing all the days of your life! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father in heaven, thank 

You for Your goodness in 

my life. I choose to focus 

on You today no matter 

what my circumstances 

may look like. Give me 

Your peace as I keep my 

mind stayed on You. In 

Jesus' Name. Amen!

“Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and 

enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so 

that I will be free from pain."And God granted his request.” 

1 Chronicles 4:10 

GET YOUR FAITH FULLY ACTIVATED! 

Did you know that God never meant for us to live an average life. He has 

designed us for excellence. He has created us for success. He wants us 

to live above the norm. Each one of us is uniquely created by Him and 

for Him. Instead of being one in a million, you re actually one in about 

seven billion! There s nobody else like you; you are unique. 

Jabez prayed in faith and because of his simple prayer that we re still 

talking about him thousands of years later. He was a simple man of 

faith. There s no mention in the Bible of Jabez having any special ability 

or talent or gi . The Bible doesn t say that he was wealthy or educated. 

He was not a great prophet or a great preacher. He was not a wise ruler 

over some great nation. He was not famous for being so great warrior 

who could almost single-handedly win battles. He is not remembered 

for his great wealth. He is remembered, because he prayed to God in 

faith and God heard him and answered his prayer. But it s his prayer that 

sets him above the norm. A simple prayer made him stand out in the 

Bible. Our prayers could help us stand out too , to live above the norm. 

Take hold of the promises of God and do something great for Him. Go 

ahead and ask Him for the moon, and He will give you the sun and the 

stars as well. Let us walk in faith and let us pray in such a way that God 

will grant us all that we ask for. Amen. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

God, give me the strength 

to call upon Your name 

and seek what You have 

for me! Thank You for 

promising me a blessed 

life in Your Word. In Jesus 

Name. Amen.

“....Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it” 

Proverbs 4:23 

OUR HEART MATTERS MOST! 

We must be diligent to keep our hearts; because the condition of our 

heart will affect everything else in our life. 

Have you ever said something and wondered where that comment 

came from? Or maybe an idea crossed your mind that you wouldn t tell 

your spouse or best friend about, and exactly where did that come 

from? Or maybe you did something completely out of character and ask 

yourself, What was I thinking? Our words, our thoughts, our choices, 

our decisions, our priorities, comes from our hearts. When a heart is 

full of Gods love, beautiful words and ideas ow from it. Are you paying 

attention to your heart? The wise writer of Proverbs warned us to guard 

our hearts. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

We need to protect our hearts against bitterness, impatience, and 

greed, against jealousy, idolatry, and anger. These traits will overtake 

our hearts if we let them. We must also guard our hearts against unsafe 

people, unhealthy relationships, and ungodly activities and 

entertainment. 

Protect your heart so that beautiful words, ideas, and actions ow from 

it, for your good and Gods glory!

“...Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives 

of our hearts.” 

1 Thessalonians 2:4b 

FOCUS ON PLEASING GOD, NOT PEOPLE! 

God did not make you to be what somebody else wants you to be. God 

didn t make you to be what your parents want you to be, what your 

girlfriend or boyfriend wants you to be, what your spouse wants you to 

be or your boss or your friends want you to be. Father, I am determined 

to do Your will and live according to Your Word. My trust is in You alone, 

and I refuse to be moved by anything else. I hold on to my con dence, 

knowing that in due season I will receive all that You have promised me. 

Here s my question for you: Who are you letting determine your 

identity? Is it your friends and family? Maybe you are hanging on to 

what some ex-husband or wife said to you, and you re trying to prove 

that person wrong. Maybe you are trying to keep up with what social 

media and culture and the competition says you should be. 

But the Bible says this: Our purpose is to please God, not people. He 

alone examines the motives of our hearts . Don t allow people press you 

into their mold. Be determined to be what God wants you to be. Tell 

yourself; I m going to do what God wants me to do, and I m going to 

ful ll the plan that God has for my life, not somebody else s plan for my 

life. 

God made you to be you. If you re going to become all you can be, you 

have to refuse to be de ned by others. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, I am determined 

to do Your will and live 

according to Your Word. I 

refuse to be de ned by 

others. I will walk in your 

purpose for my life. My 

trust is in You alone, and I 

refuse to be moved by 

anything else. I hold on to 

my con dence, knowing 

that in due season I will 

receive all that You have 

promised me. In Jesus 

mighty name. Amen!!

“.....After waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.” 

Hebrews 6:15 

IT S 100% WORTH WAITING! 

When you re waiting on God, remember that you re in good company 

and it s always worth waiting. 

Millions of saints before you have sat in Gods waiting room. You re not 

alone. In fact if you re in the waiting room right now, maybe you re 

waiting on a job, on a relationship, on an answer, or on a prayer, there 

are a lot of other people around you who are in that same situation. And 

every one of those people had to wait. 

Think about Hannah, who had to wait years to have the baby that she 

was praying God would give her. Think about Joseph, who had a Godgiven 

vision of being a ruler from a very young age but spent 14 years in 

a prison for a crime he did not commit. Think of Moses, who wandered 

in the wilderness for 40 years while he waited for his next assignment 

and to know his purpose in life. Think of Abraham, who waited a 

hundred years before he had Isaac, the child God had promised him 

years before. Think about Noah, who waited 120 years before it rained. 

We get in a hurry. But God is not in a hurry. Waiting is essential to your 

faith. When you waiting patiently, and don t abort your blessing, you 

will receive what was promised! 

Prayer 

For The Day 


leading and guiding me. I 

choose to tune in to You 

and wait for your timing to 

make all things beautiful 

for me. Help me to hear 

Your voice, to know You 

and follow You all the days 

of life in Jesus name. 

Amen!

“The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great 

delight in you, He will quiet you with his love, He will rejoice over you with 

singing.” 

Zephaniah 3:17 

HE REJOICES OVER YOU! 

God loves you so much that He takes great delight in you! He sings over 

you like a mother singing lullabies over her child! I can t think of any 

place more secure than a baby in its mother s arms, and that mom 

singing a lullaby to her! God says, that s how much I love you! That s 

what I have to offer you! I have security for you! You don t have to be 

insecure. You don t have to resort to destructive forms of behavior in 

order to feel loved and to feel good about yourself. 

Gods Word isn t just about teaching and telling people what they ve 

done wrong and what they ought to do and should have done but its 

about telling us that God loves us! Jesus has gone before you and He has 

secured the ropes! You don t have to be afraid with Him leading the way! 

His voice right now is saying to you, Don t be afraid. Don t be insecure. 

I m right here with you and I love you more than you know or can 

imagine! 

Today, no matter what s happened in your past, no matter what anybody 

else has said to you or about you, know that your Father God loves you 

with an everlasting love. He s proud of you, and He is singing over you. 

Receive His love today. Receive His approval today. Receive hope today. 

Have con dence and strength to move forward because you have the 

blessing of your heavenly Father! 

Prayer 

For The Day 


loving me today. Thank 

You for choosing me and

Your love and blessing.

”...that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the LORD is 

mighty, so that you may fear the LORD your God forever.” 

Joshua 4:24 

WHAT A MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE! 

We are not serving a dead God who cowers in fear or refuses to answer. 

Our God ghts for what is right and holy and just. He does not fear and 

He is not shaken by our circumstances and troubles. His battle plans 

are already completed and the victory is won before the battle begins. 

What do we have to fear? Surely Satan goes around like a roaring lion, 

but He cannot destroy anything that God has under His protection. My 

God is powerful and I will not fear for He is my shelter and my tower of 

defense! 

When the storm is raging around us; when the waves tower over us; and 

when it seems that there is no more hope, run to Jesus! He is not shaken 

by those storms. He has the power to calm them and deliver you 

through them and even make you stronger because of them. 

Our God has arms of strength that are everlasting. He will cast out from 

you those enemies of your soul and of your life that would attempt to 

destroy you in Jesus name! He has given His angles charge over you with 

orders from God to destroy all who would come against you! WHAT A 

MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE! 

Prayer 

For The Day 


another day to praise and 

glorify You. I want to know 

You more. I choose to look

so I can see the good 

things you have in store 

for my future. I bless You 

today and always. In Jesus 

name, Amen.

“I am the LORD, who opened a way through the waters, making a dry path 

through the sea.” 

Isaiah 43:16 

HE IS A WAY MAKER! 

God give us a promise of provision. Yes, when it appears that we have 

exhausted all our resources for whatever reason, when our back 

appears to be against the wall, when there seems to be no way out of our 

situation, when we feel like we can not take another step, when we feel 

like we have done all we can, when it appears that all the doors and 

possibilities around us are no more, God is declaring that He is still able 

to make a way for us. 

God made a way for Israel in the sea, God made a way for Israel in the 

wilderness and He will do the same for you and I too. He will make a way 

in the time of testing and trials, He will make a way in the morning, 

noonday and in the midnight hour. All you have to do is call on the name 

of Jesus, He promises to hear and answer your prayer. 

The reason God continues to make a way out of no way for us is because 

of His love for us. He sees our needs through His lense of Love and His 

Word. 

Nothing happens to us without rst passing through the hands of God. 

Psalm 34:15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears 

are attentive to their cry. 

Regardless of how high our sea may be, regardless of how rough the 

water may be, regardless of how strong the wind may blow, GOD WILL 

STILL MAKE A WAY OUT OF NO WAY!!!! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, I trust that You 

are willing and able to 

make a way for me where 

there seems to be no way. 

Fill me with Your peace 

and hope. Give me a vision 

for all You have for me and 

thank you for making 

something out of nothing. 

In Jesus Name. Amen.

“Jesus replied, What is impossible with men is possible with God.” 

Luke 18:27 

BELIEVE THE IMPOSSIBLE! 

Our God is great and with Him there are no impossibilities. If you re not 

ready to believe the impossible, then you re not ready for a miracle. 

There are a lot of promises that seem to good to be true in the bible; but 

you better believe God, all those promises are obtainable! 

God told Mary that she was going to have a child without meeting with 

any man; that was impossible! Think of it. If you were Mary, would you 

have believed in God or you would have dismissed the word as 

impossible? Those that believe the impossible experience the 

unimaginable; they become stars in life. Believe the impossible! 

The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. God 

can do the impossible. Yes, that s exactly what He said in His word. 

Where you cannot, God can! With your own abilities you are unable, but 

with God you are able to do anything. And that should not come as a 

surprise to you. We are talking about the same God who created life 

from a desolate state, who at the wave of Moses hands parted the Red 

Sea and produced dry land. If He can do those things, and He did, 

imagine what He can do with a life that trusts Him completely. You can 

trust Him today and believe the impossible! 

Start believing and declaring, I am with God, and with God, all things 

are possible! Are your bills piling up? With God, all things are possible. 

Do your relationships need healing? With God, all things are possible. Is 

there sickness in your body? With God, all things are possible! 

Prayer 

For The Day

“..being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it 

on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” 

Philippians 1:6 

...STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION! 

Please be patient with me, God is not through with me yet, but when God gets 

through with me I shall come forth in His image and likeness. But in the meantime 

you are looking at me, but it doth not yet appear what I shall be because 

right now I AM UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!!!!!. 

You are a work in progress. Your spiritual transformation in developing the 

character of Jesus will take the rest of your life, and even then it won t be 

completed here on Earth. It will only be nished when you get to Heaven or 

when Jesus returns. God is still working in you therefore your desire is being 

transformed into His desire, the same mind that is in Christ Jesus is working in 

you. I are still UNDER CONSTRUCTION! 

You see, none of us has arrived yet. We are all still Under Construction, a work 

in progress which is taking shape each passing day. I am glad today that I am 

not what I used to be and that I am not what will be when He gets through with 

me some day. Put away your doubts. Put away your fears. Stand on Truth, live 

by Faith, believe and be excited about what God is doing and will continue to 

do in your life. 

He will not stop until the job is done and surely He will be done because He has 

promised us that He will carry it on to COMPLETION. 

Prayer 

For The Day

“...we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of 

abundance.” 

Psalm 66:12 

A PLACE OF ABUNDANCE! 

Dear loved, you re about to enter into the greatest season of your life. 

God is about to move in your family, business, nances and in your own 

personal life in a greater way than you have ever experienced in the 

past. It doesn t matter what your circumstances may look like today, 

Gods plan is to bring you through to a place of abundance. He wants you 

to have an abundance of peace, an abundance of joy, and an abundance 

of resources. 

The truth is you may not understand everything that is going on in your 

life at the present time, but you still believe you are on the verge of a 

change. In spite of the fact, that hell is hitting you hard. In spite of the 

fact, that you are going through the greatest trial of your life, you still 

believe your change is coming. You still believe your promise is about to 

come to pass, that your dream is about to become a reality. 

While you may not have any evidence that a change is about to take 

place, you have con dence that He is a on time God. In spite of the 

fact, that in the natural, nothing seems to be changing. You still believe, 

If God said it He will do it and if God spoke it He will bring it to pass! 

You are standing on the edge of your breakthrough! Your best days are 

ahead! God is about to ful ll every word that has been spoken over you! 

Your dreams are about to come to pass! You are closer than you think! 

God is leading you to a place of ABUNDANCE!! 

Prayer 

For The Day 


You for delivering and 

saving me. I stand strong 

no matter what I may be 

facing, knowing that You 

are with me. Thank You 

for protecting me through 

the re and for leading me

and blessing You have 

prepared for me. In Jesus 

Name. Amen.

“Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. 

Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that 

your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” 

1 Corinthians 15:58 

BE UNSTOPPABLE & UNMOVEABLE! 

We all mess up. We say things we later wish we could take back. We do 

things we wish we could undo. We miss opportunities. This happens in 

all spheres of our lives. Sometimes we make mistakes at work, 

sometimes we hurt the people we love, sometimes we disappoint God. 

And because we all mess up, we like to start over to turn our backs on 

the past, to look forward, to hope that this time round, things are going 

to be better. And believers we have been given the ability to persevere 

and always be victorious through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

God is not looking for perfect people. If He was, we would all be 

disquali ed. He is looking for people that have a heart that's right. If you 

have a heart toward God and you get up each day with a commitment to 

do your best, you don't have to live guilty and condemned. And when 

those old thoughts come telling you, You don't deserve God's 

blessings, just say, You're exactly right. I know I don't deserve it. But 

that's what God's mercy is all about. 

Trust God with your past and future and commit your present to his 

purpose. Then watch and see how God provides abundantly for you and 

through you so that you can express the joy of the Lord and His grace in 

your life. 

Prayer 

For The Day 


empowering me by Your 

Holy Spirit. Thank You for

o p p o r t u n i t y t o s t a r t

de ne me and I won't let it 

stop me, but I will let Your 

truth de ne me and lead

“The LORD your God who goes before you will Himself fight on your 

behalf, just as He did for you in Egypt before your eyes..” 

Deuteronomy 1:30 

NO QUITTING ZONE!! 

God want to give you great and mighty things. God wants to ll your lap 

with abundant blessing to over owing. But He also wants you to work 

and ght for them because only then are they desires of your heart. 

Sometimes we Christians miss out on the blessings of God because of 

lack of commitment and faith. We are sometimes unwilling to stay the 

course when confronted with criticism or opposition. Don't be one of 

these believers. Dig in your heels, stand your grant, and be determined 

to ght the good ght of your faith! Stay focused and ready to step up to 

what God has called you to do. 

Whatever your step of faith needs to be, take it today. As you do your 

part, God is ready to ght your battles for you. He promises that no 

weapon formed against you will ever prosper, and we should press 

forward with con dence, knowing that if God is for us who would dare 

to be against us? 

God told Joshua in Deuteronomy 31:6, Be strong and of good courage, 

do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One 

who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you. 

Prayer 

For The Day

“You will arise and have mercy on Zion; For the time to favor her, yes, the set 

time, has come.” 

Psalm 102:13 

YOUR SET TIME HAS COME! 

When you're in your season, there's a grace to do things that you couldn't do 

before. They said, "David, you'd better not take a chance. Goliath is too big to 

hit." David said, "I don't think so. He's too big to miss." David spoke to his 

mountain. He said, "Goliath, this day I will defeat you and feed your head to the 

birds of the air. 

Maybe like this man at the pool of Bethesda, you ve been overlooked, crowded 

out, passed over, outran and pushed out. But am here to encourage you and let 

you know, you re getting ready to get in! You ve been like this man, you ve been 

looking at it, dreaming about it, talking about it, and singing about it; I tell you, 

you re getting ready to get it. 

You have watched other people get blessed, get healed, get promoted, get their 

new car. And it looks to you from all natural evidence that it will never be you. 

The Lord is say to you as you are reading this very DAILY ENCOURAGER 

DEVOTIONAL, it s coming.. it s almost here because it is your season. Don t be 

weary in well doing for in due season you shall reap if you faint not . 

There s something about God, when it s your turn, it doesn t matter where 

you re standing in line, it doesn t matter whether you re educated or not and it 

doesn t matter where you re at socially, or economically... regardless HIS 

favour will nd you and locate you. Get ready because God is going to raise you 

up into the life of blessing He has prepared for you. 

Prayer 

For The Day

“The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree...” 

Psalm 92:12 

NOTHING CAN HOLD YOU BACK! 

The reason God said we would ourish like a palm tree is because He 

knew there would be dif cult times. He knew things would come 

against us to try to steal our joy and victory. God said, You re going to be 

like a palm tree because when the stories of life blow, you are going to 

come right back up stronger than before. Nothing can hold you back! 

No weapon formed against you will prosper. 

No matter what season you are in today, God wants you to bloom right 

where you are. That doesn t mean you re going to always be in that 

situation. It doesn t mean you shouldn t dream big or plan for the future. 

it simply means that you are going to choose to be your best on the way 

to where you re headed. 

As you re ect on the events over the month of August, remember, the 

storms you have encountered have only made you strong. You are wise, 

you are more alive, and you are headed for victory. Your brightest days 

are right out in front of you! Always remember that with God on your 

side, nothing can hold you back! 

Always remember, bloom where you re planted and let Him work in 

and through you all the days of your life. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, thank you for 

Your hand of mercy upon 

my life. Today, I choose to 

bloom where I m planted. 

I choose to trust You and 

honour You knowing that 

You are working in my

the storms. I know You 

will bring me out 

stronger, wiser and better

“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask 

or think, according to the power that worketh in us…” 

Ephesians 3:20 

More Than You Can Think Or Ask! 

Our God is able to do; there is no inability in Him. It is possible for man 

to think and not have the ability to do, but not God whatever is on His 

mind, He s able to do. Nothing handicaps Him. 

One big problem with us is that our thoughts far exceed our request. 

Sometimes, lack of faith makes us to ask for less than we could. For 

example, you may have it in your thoughts to own an estate but in the 

place of prayer all you could muster faith to ask God for is a house. Our 

thoughts include more than we dare to ask in our prayers; our dreams 

exceed what we consciously desire. God answers prayer; He even 

answers unspoken prayers. God can act beyond our ability to ask or 

even imagine. 

Why do you limit God in your prayers? There are people in the 

scriptures that dared ask God seemingly impossible things and He 

answered them. Can you think of one of them? Who told you that which 

looks like a mountain before God cannot be handled by Him? No 

wonder that song writer says, oh what peace we o en forfeit, oh what 

needless pains we bear; all because we do not carry EVERYTHING to 

God in prayers. 

My prayer for you is that God will increase your faith to be able to ask 

God in prayers that which is on your mind. I also pray that God in His 

in nite mercy will answer the unspoken prayers of your heart in Jesus 

name. Amen! 

Prayer 

For The Day 


loving me and choosing 

me. I know that You are 

able to do exceedingly 

abundantly above and 

beyond anything I can 

imagine. I submit myself 

to You: spirit, soul and 

body. Search me and 

know me. Have Your way 

in me and keep my mind 

stayed on You. In Jesus 

Name. Amen.
