FAITH AVENUE: WHEN GOD MAKES HIMSELF HAPPEN!

 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17TH, 2026. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: WHEN GOD MAKES HIMSELF HAPPEN! TEXT: [NKJV] GENESIS 18:1 "Then the LORD appeared to him by the terebinth trees of Mamre, as he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day." There is a profound difference between knowing God lives within you and experiencing a moment where God happens to you. While the Holy Spirit resides in every believer, there are specific Kairos moments which are appointed times of destiny where God manifests His presence through a divine visitation. These encounters are reserved for those in covenant with Him. As a believer, your covenant status is your "all-access pass" to these supernatural interruptions that break the monotony of natural life. When God "happens" to a man, He never leaves the scene as He found it. A divine visitation is always accompanied by a divine wonder. God does not visit merely for conversation; He visits for transfo...

FAITH AVENUE: THE SPIRIT YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN!

 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10TH, 2026. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: THE SPIRIT YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN! TEXT: [NKJV] 2 TIMOTHY 1:7 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." At new birth, every believer receives a Spirit and this Spirit is the Spirit of God. This Spirit received at new birth is not a Spirit of fear but of power, of love and of a sound mind. This Spirit is not a Spirit that will make you remain as you are but a Spirit that will bring about your transformation. The Holy Spirit is a Spirit that gives you the strength to be courageous. Not many people are courageous and not many people are powerful. This life is ruled and governed by courageous people and powerful people. If the righteous are not bold enough to rule, the unrighteous people that are bold will rule and that's exactly what some countries have been going through for years. As a believer, you need to be bold, powerful and have a sound...

FAITH AVENUE: FROM STRUGGLING MODE TO THRIVING MODE!

 MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9TH, 2026. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: FROM STRUGGLING MODE TO THRIVING MODE! TEXT: [NKJV] ISAIAH 40:31 "But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." The thriving mode is not just a mode that a person can experience in business, academics or marriage only. The thriving mode is also a mode that can be experienced across all areas of life. God cares about you and He wants you to thrive on all sides. However, you will need to be divinely strengthened to be able to enter the thriving realm. The thriving realm is a realm where you are thriving across all areas of your life and there is a guaranteed strength for consistent thriving. When you get to the thriving realm, there is no room for you to have a better yesterday. There are people whose thriving records were in their past. When you are divinely strengthened, ...

FAITH AVENUE: BECAUSE OF THE LORD'S MERCY!

 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5TH, 2026. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: BECAUSE OF THE LORD'S MERCY! TEXT: [AMP] LAMENTATION 3:22 "It is because of the Lord 's mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions fail not." We often trivialize the very blessings that keep us alive, unaware that they are direct expressions of God's mercy. Many things in our lives could have gone wrong and perhaps should have gone wrong based on our mistakes or the enemy's efforts but they didn't. Why? Because nothing preserves a human life like the mercy of God. It is the spiritual force that shields us from the visitation of evil. On countless occasions, there were incidents designed to consume your peace, your health, or your life, but the invisible covering of mercy stood in the gap. According to our focal scripture, the only reason we are not "consumed" or finished off by the devil’s schemes is the relentless nat...

FAITH AVENUE: THE BEST WAY TO WIN!

 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3RD, 2026. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: THE BEST WAY TO WIN! TEXT: [NLT] PROVERBS 16:7 When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him." Life is often described as a series of battles and spiritual warfare. While many rely on their own strength, strategy, or willpower to survive, the believer possesses a unique advantage that the world cannot replicate: the ability to please God. Pleasing God is not just a religious duty; it is a tactical secret to absolute victory. When your lifestyle aligns with God's heart, you meet the divine requirements for overcoming the pressures of life. Victory is not merely a struggle for those who know how to please the Father; it is a spiritual consequence. Our focal scripture introduces a profound strategy for dealing with opposition. The enemy’s primary tools are threats, oppression, and repression. However, these tools lose their power when a believe...

FAITH AVENUE: GOD NEEDS YOUR HEALTH

 MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2ND, 2026. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: GOD NEEDS YOUR HEALTH! TEXT: [NKJV] 3 JOHN 2 "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." We often approach God solely as a Supplier of our needs, yet we must realize that God has desires that only we can fulfill. He did not create us merely to be recipients of blessings, but to be providers of worship. God is actively seeking "true worshippers" who will honor Him in Spirit and in truth. However, to fulfill this high calling here on earth, you require a functional vessel. While your spirit belongs to God, your body is the legal "earth-suit" that allows you to execute His will. Therefore, prioritizing your health is not just a personal choice; it is a spiritual necessity. Our focal scripture emphasizes a balance: prosperity in your soul must be matched by health in your body. God is concerned with your total well-being....
