  MAKING GOD HAPPY Numbers 6:22-27 Devotional:- “May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you” (V. 25 NLT) One of the goals of our life is to make God happy. This is because the goal of worship is to make God happy. A man can make God happy when he pleases the Lord in all His ways. Job was a man who pleases the Lord in his life time (Job 1:8). Noah was another man who also pleased God in his generation (Genesis 6:8). We are living for the glory of God when we live to make God happy by pleasing the Him. To make God happy, we must love Him supremely (Luke 14:26). No one loved us as God does. He knows what no one knows about us that is why we must love Him more than ALL. It is possible to love God supremely when we relate closely with Him (Hosea 6:6; Matthew 22:37-38; Genesis 6:9). To make God happy, we must learn to trust Him completely. Noah trusted Him and built an arc even on a dry land (Hebrew 11:7). Though, he had never seen rain before yet believed God and trusted Him compl...

SECRET PLACE

God's Hour of Truth "It All Begins In The Secret Place Part 2 08 ...Scripture Reading: Matthew 6:5-15

Devotional: : “ But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly” (V. 6)

To have effective time in the presence of the Lord, you need a secret, solitary or secluded place. These are places you can be all alone with God (Matthew 14:23). The reason this is important is that, you are not disturbed. To be able to focus on God demand that we are not distracted. Until you can focus, you cannot get to God. 

The word of God therefore instructed us to stay in our room, shut the door and pray in such secret place; Jesus said that secret prayer will be answered openly. In other words, people will hear our testimony. This is the power of focusing in His presence. Jesus taught us in this scripture to know the importance of being private with God and not hypocritical or trying to do a show up. Whenever you are talking or thinking, you are transmitting through the wavelet. Others looking at you make them block your wavelet with their thought or talking against you. That is why it is better private, earlier in the day or later when others are far asleep.

Friend, you cannot enjoy the presence of God with show up mentality. This is an attempt to impress people. That way, God will no longer be involved. Since it is men we want to please. It is the main reason we must be sincere and open with God (Matthew 5:8; Psalms 24:4). Anyone who practices such hypocrisy has no reward from God (Matthew 6:16). Your privacy with God matter so much to Him. It is in doing that, that you will have the best of His presence. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a pure and sincere heart

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.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
