  GOOD WILL Luke 2:8-14 Devotional:- “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” (V. 14) NKJV A great blessing of God to humanity at the birth of Christ is goodwill. A nation without it is completely under bondage. They cannot claim, nor ask, nor can they have anything from the Lord except by the common grace (Matthew 5:25). This is what the sons of men are before the coming of the Messiah. Men have been living under the pressure and the punishment of sin and the law. Men were governed spiritually by the law they were never capable of obeying. When Jesus came, then came the time of grace. This brought us into the season of the goodwill of God (Ephesians 2:8). Will is what every father writes to give the right of inheritance to each of the children. Before Christ, God’s will was not approachable for men. It was not favorable for a natural man. But God gave us another will in Christ Jesus. This is what the angel was announcing in verse 14. We refer to it t...

PRAISES AND WORSHIP

Scripture Reading: Psalms 34:1-10 

Devotional: “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth” (V. 1)

Time in the presence of God is always a time to worship and praise the Lord. The time spent with God is not only for us but also for God. Therefore, it is first a time to bless the Lord with our praise and worship. If the door of the throne room of God will be widely open to us, then we must know that praises and worship are the password (Psalms 100:4)
The Psalmist said, “I will bless the Lord at all times and His praises shall continually be in my mouth”. Every time you want to be sure that the presence of God is with you, you must learn to praise Him. That is why you don’t have to do that once a while. It is a thing of every time.

Also, whenever you are alone with the Lord, you must access the throne room of God with praises. Don’t be too anxious of your needs to the point of starting your communication with God with the needs. Therefore, a fellowship time in His presence should always start with praises. This is because He is doing so much for you already. He is your healer, your protection, your deliverer from all evil agenda; He is your help in trouble. So, learn to thank Him for what He is doing before presenting other needs. Heaven can always have His presence because they are always praising God (Psalms 22:3). As you praise Him often, He will not even let you ask before doing things for you sometimes. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, let your praises always fill my mouth

“IF YOU CAN BE PRAISEFUL, YOU WILL NOT BE EMPTY”

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
