Made for More (Part 2)!
2d ago00:20:14Tap to summarizeINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Thursday, May 21, 2026 Topic: MADE FOR MORE (Part 2)! Memory Verse: "And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost" - John 20:22 KJV Bible Text: Luke 24:45 AMP 45. Then He opened their minds to [help them] understand the Scriptures, INSPIRATION: Whenever you try to force yourself into an outgrown pair of clothes or shoes because you like them, you'd feel so much discomfort. Life's pressure will cause us to either cave in, explode or expand; it tells you that you're more than this. But you can't take in more or deliver more than you have capacity for. High flyers carry a higher capacity quotient than an average person. Enlarged capacity will help you take in more and deliver better outputs. Capacity is elastic; it expands as demand increases. Mental capacity is developed by what the mind is fed with; social, by what you socialise with; career by the path you choose and how you apply yourself to its processes. There're spiritual, financial and intellectual capacities required to gain stability else you'd reel and swing to life's storms. You're built for more but can only amount to so much when you invest time, energy and resources towards building the right capacity. TODAY'S TAKE HOME: Capacity is in demonstrable action. If you lack it, it'd show when action is required. PRAYER: Dear Lord, please give me the grace to go the extra mile; help me to put in the work required to deliver results at a more efficient level than I currently do. May I not become complacent where real growth and expansion is required. As I put in more, may my efforts be recognised and adequately rewarded, in Jesus name.

Made for More!
3d ago00:17:45Tap to summarizeINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Wednesday, May 20, 2026 Topic: MADE FOR MORE! Memory Verse: "And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost" - John 20:22 KJV Bible Text: Luke 24:45 AMP 45. Then He opened their minds to [help them] understand the Scriptures, INSPIRATION: If you compare or assess your peculiarities only in terms of your kind of challenges but not in your kind of graces, then you're grossly mistaken. Many of us are often so problem-focused that we fail to see how God's grace helps us deal with issues until we navigated to safety. If you think you've unique problems, you also might not have noticed that you've some unique ways of pulling through the most difficult of challenges. That's grace at work Assuming your problems are unique, does it bother to think that the devil doesn't fight anyone without a colourful destiny or a big dream? Your life's challenges indicate that you're made for more. Don't cave in or settle for less. You're worth more than you ascribe or celebrate about yourself. You're bigger than your mountains and mightier than the size of the valley trying to conceal you. You'll only know this when you receive and allow the breath of God expand your mind and understanding. TODAY'S TAKE HOME: Limiting yourself to your experiences robs you of your true essence. You're made for more! PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to see the great potentials in me and never to settle for less. I receive grace to deal with life's battles and surmount them. I refuse to cave in, rather every challenge awakens the greatness in me. I harness and exploit this to do seemingly impossible things, in Jesus name.

Created for His Pleasure (Part 2)!
4d ago00:19:20Tap to summarizeINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Tuesday, May 19, 2026 Topic: CREATED FOR HIS PLEASURE (Part 2)! Memory Verse: "For it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure" - Philippians 2:13 ESV Bible Text: Revelation 4:11 KJV 11. Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. INSPIRATION: A daily self-affirmation that I'm created to give God pleasure and that He delights in me builds my self-worth and helps me overcome any eternal force that tries to deflate my self-esteem. It also prevents me from indulgences that negate this truth. It helps me to be self-conscious of what I allow or disallow so as to make sin far from me, knowing that sin doesn't bring God pleasure. However, the will to give Him pleasure is not self-determined. It is God who works in us to effect it. For it is [not your strength, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure. God will continually revitalize you, implanting within you the passion to do what pleases him. Knowing this, it is up to you to cooperate and yield willingly to Him to create in you the passion to please Him. Obedience and submissiveness pleases Him. TODAY'S TAKE HOME: When God creates the atmosphere for us to please Him, your responsibility is to dutifully align by do so to get Him plessed. PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to seize every moment to bring pleasure to You. May my life, thoughts and actions come up to You as a pleasing offering; may You derive maximum pleasure from my obedience and submissiveness as a form of my worship. If You ever need to make reference to getting pleasure from earth, may I be the source, in Jesus name.

Created for His Pleasure (Part 1)!
4d ago00:19:28Tap to summarizeINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Monday, May 18, 2026 Topic: CREATED FOR HIS PLEASURE! Memory Verse: "For it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure" - Philippians 2:13 ESV Bible Text: Revelation 4:11 KJV 11. Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. INSPIRATION: When we say a thing gives pleasure, we simply mean it satisfies, excites, delights and causes enjoyment. The bible says we're created for God's pleasure, that is, our lives should give each and much more of the aforementioned emotions. For something to satisfy, excite and cause enjoyment, it must possess certain distinct characteristics. A football game is uniquely distinct from a volleyball game. All balls but different rules apply that give their lovers that satisfactory flavour and rich appeal. What unique characteristics do you exhibit that brings God pleasure? Does He delight in you as much as your favourite meal, music, movie or games delights you? Does it ever bother you to think about how God feels about you? Does He derive maximum pleasure from you? Can He opt for you the same way you'd opt for a preferred thing from which you derive the most pleasure when you need to be pleasured? Were you a musical sound, what pleasurable melody would you give off in God's ears? TODAY'S TAKE HOME: If you were a meal, would you be God's favourite? Give Him pleasure, that's all! PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to delight in You and to bring You maximum pleasure always. Cause me to be conscious that I was created for your pleasure and all I do points in this direction. Help me to apply restraints if my actions would displease You. I receive grace to guard my heart and tame my thoughts into pleasing You, in Jesus name.

Majesty of Divine Timing (Part 2)!
6d ago00:20:13Tap to summarizeINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Sunday, May 17, 2026 Topic: THE POWER OF A DIVINE TIMING (Part 2)! Memory Verse: "He has made everything beautiful in its time..." - Ecclesiastes 3:11 ESV Bible Text: Isaiah 60:22 ERV 22. "... When the time is right, I, the Lord, will come quickly. I will make these things happen.” INSPIRATION: A divine timing or Kairos moment doesn't just cause a turnaround, it ushers in refreshing seasons. A divine time is a "God time," where His majestic glory is at work. They're moments of miraculous interventions that often defy logic; things too wonderful for explanation occur that one can't help but be in awe. A divine timing, like magic, manifests to order or reorder our lives. You cannot have a divine moment that would not be evident in noticeable changes. So God remembered Noah and the floods dried up (Gen. 8: 1); God also remembered Sarah and she bore a son in old age (Gen. 21: 1-2). Such moments make a mess of expert opinions (2 Kings 7:1-8) and stirs us to believe the Lord’s report (Isa. 53:1). It's your time to be remembered; your time of favour; your time of testimony. I just can't explain or shake it off but a divine moment is upon us. Things would happen so fast, you'd lose count. The elements of nature and mankind would be in league to help you favourably. TODAY'S TAKE HOME: A divine moment that you don't anticipate in would mean nothing to you even when it happens. PRAYER: Dear Lord, please remember me for good and cause my floods to dry up. Stir me in the direction of experiences that are new but nonetheless miraculously divine. Defy expert opinions to establish Your supremacy in the things that concern me. May Your will be done, in Jesus name.

Go Forward (Part 3)!
1w ago00:18:31Tap to summarizeINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Wednesday, May 13, 2026 Topic: GO FORWARD (Part 3)! Memory Verse: "Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward" - Deuteronomy 2:3 KJV Bible Text: Exodus 14:15 KJV 15. And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: INSPIRATION: God is touched by what and how we feel (Heb. 4: 15). So when He tells you to go forward or to move on, He's not being emotionless or unconcerned about your plight. Rather, He's offering you the best prescription for your heart and entire wellbeing. The emotional torture and endless trauma of building monuments around your pain is what He's trying to make you see and save you from. Staying pained leaves you drained and defeated always. Stop investing emotionally in things that are dead (Luke 24:5). Invest time, energy and resources in developing character traits that make for a better living, greater access to opportunities and victory life. Gratify yourself with self-empowering actions that challenge your statusquo. Crying instead of acting would leave you at the mercy of what seeks to destroy you; and until you take a dive, your parachute would never activate to get you to a safe landing. TODAY'S TAKE HOME: The bigger picture can only be seen on the other side of a positive action. Go forward! PRAYER: Dear Lord, I refused to be caught between opinions whether to move forward or stay buried in despair. My spirit is liberated from the stagnant grip of my past failures; my heart receives light to move on from every failed dream, plan or investment. I'm a recipient of divine grace and a greater future awaits me as I take bold steps in faith to move forward, in Jesus name.

Go Forward (Part 2)!
2w ago00:17:21Tap to summarizeINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Tuesday, May 12, 2026 Topic: GO FORWARD (Part 2)! Memory Verse: "Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward" - Deuteronomy 2:3 KJV Bible Text: Exodus 14:15 KJV 15. And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: INSPIRATION: Going forward from a pain or setback takes a lot of discipline, willpower, dogged determination and courage. Going forward may not remove or undo the pain, but it offers a soothing relief that your life is gaining momentum and trajectory again. At times, moving forward may not necessarily be you turning your rumbles into building blocks but in turning your blocks into a pillow when life hits you hard to the point of running like Jacob (Gen. 28:11). When God says to move forward, He wasn't dismissing your pains or feelings as inconsequential. He was literally asking, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?" (Luke 24:5). In other words, bury it behind you like something dead and move! How much of dwelling on your past can bring back a dead relationship that left you heartbroken? How would feasting on your pain bring back to life your loved one? Can a guilty trip remedy what's been spilled? TODAY'S TAKE HOME: Think critically and strategically. Think of ways and actions that are self-empowering PRAYER: Dear Lord, I'm enabled by Your grace to convert my pain to my stepping stone; I refused to dwell endlessly on my past or to judge you unfaithful. I develop a positive attitude towards setbacks; I pick my lessons and forge ahead to more productive ways of living, in Jesus name.

Memory Verse: "Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward" - Deuteronomy 2:3 KJV Bible Text: Exodus 14:15 KJV 15. And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: INSPIRATION: Sometimes, life's tragic events leave us between the rock and a hard place, where it is difficult to make meaning out of it, and near impossible to move on. So we get stuck and at worse, wander in circles. At such instances, reason is lost and counsel is futile. We're bitter, and generally confused because no effort appears good enough to remedy things. At such moments, God's instruction says to move forward regardless of our reality. To move forward, press hard against your wall and force your way through. What's stopping us isn't going to give up or loosen it's grip on us just like that. We must exert ourselves, defy the odds and surmount the obstacles. Be creative and innovative with executing your new strategy, but press forward nonetheless. TODAY'S TAKE HOME: Stop! Take a deep breath. Look your problems in the face and move forward! PRAYER: Dear Lord, by your grace, I'm unstoppable and unlimited. Nothing holds me back or puts me down. I rise to a new level with each fall, and soar higher in obedience to Your command to go forward! My eyes open to new escape routes that usher me into my enlarged place in destiny, in Jesus name.

God's Welfare Plan!
2w ago00:16:42Tap to summarizeINSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Saturday, May 9, 2026 Topic: GOD'S WELFARE PLAN! Memory Verse: "As she got up to glean, Boaz gave orders to his men, “Let her gather among the sheaves and don’t reprimand her" - Ruth 2:15 NIV Bible Text: Leviticus 23:22 NIV 22. When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the foreigner residing among you. I am the Lord your God. INSPIRATION: Welfare entails various forms of financial aid, public assistance, social security, provided to those who are in need of it by the government, civil society organisations or individuals. God has a welfare plan for His people too who we're distressed. He would not let you suffer endless reproach so He made adequate laws and provisions to cater to your needs. But don't take social welfare as your permanent source! Don't get hooked on freebies like someone hooked on hard drugs. Handouts make for temporary solutions that should not be given a permanent status. Handouts are meant to bridge the moment while you work at fixing your temporary inabilities. In you lies the power to turn things around. Don't let the power fuse out unproductively as there's time for everything (Eccl. 3:1). Like Ruth, you can own what used to support you. Turn the odds in your favour. TODAY'S TAKE HOME: Turn your odds into empowering and enriching moments. Live above any temporary limitation. PRAYER: Dear Lord, I receive grace to see my setbacks as only temporary and not something to build a permanent monument around. I'm empowered to rise back up from every fall, turning defeats into triumph and owning the fields that I used to depend on for support, in Jesus name.
