JOEL OSTEEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL 18 JULY 2024 MESSAGE
Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 18 July 2024 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Thursday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: Kingdom Builders
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“…to give you…houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant.” – Deuteronomy 6:10–11, NKJV
TODAY’S WORD
When God brought the Israelites into the Promised Land, they moved into houses they didn’t build, reaped from vineyards they didn’t plant, and drank from wells they didn’t dig. They didn’t have to build, plant, and work their way up. It was transferred to them.
God has some of these transfers in your future that are going to boggle your mind. Houses that you didn’t build means promotion where you weren’t next in line. Vineyards that you didn’t plant means opportunities that you didn’t see coming, blessings that chase you down.
You didn’t earn it or work for it. It’s simply the goodness of God. The key is whether your heart is to build the kingdom of God, to help others, to take your family to a new level. If I’m self-absorbed and it’s just for me, to build my ego, to show off what I have, that’s going to limit what God will do.
God is looking for kingdom builders, for people who will use the resources and influence to be a blessing, to accomplish God-given dreams.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that when I put You and Your kingdom first and am doing the right thing, You make the right things fall into place. Thank You for Your promise that transfers are coming that You want me to use to bless others. I believe it is all about Your goodness, not anything I’ve earned. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
