  STRENGTH Nehemiah 8:4-12 Devotional:- “Then he said to them, "Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength”” (v. 10) NKJV As emotional beings, it is important that we come to the understanding that when we are in joy, our strength will be doubled. is joy that promotes both mental and physical strength. No matter how physically strong a man is, when he is in sorrow, he is weak; he can be defeated. Sorrow decomposes the cells in our muscles from being able to function together. When God’s people were given the grace to rebuild the falling wall of Jerusalem, they all came together in the strength of the Lord to build. During this time, the law of the Lord was brought and was read to them, and they now discovered what brought their ruin. This caused so much sorrow, and the people began to weep. But Nehemiah, a man of understanding who knew...

PERSISTENCE ​​​​

PERSISTENCE ​​​​

Genesis 26:15-29
Devotional-“And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name Rehoboth, because he said, "For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."”  (V. 22)



   Until a man is willing to persist, creation of greatness is impossible. Those who are not willing to persist often give up and never achieving their goals. To persist is to be willing to continuously pursue your goal even when it is taking a long time. To persist is to give unrelenting efforts in the pursuit of a goal. That is why you need passion in your journey to success.



    We saw the example of persistence in the testimony of Isaac. God instructed him to stay in Gerah. God told him not to migrate to Egypt contrary to his plan. Probably, he has even secured the visa, but at last he obeyed the Lord. In that time of famine, he had the revelation of planting and wetting through irrigation. So, he dug wells to get water. The herdsmen kept standing against him by quarreling with him over it. But he employed the mysteries of persistence. He kept moving to other places to dig and God was giving him water.


    There is no one on the journey of creating achievement that the forces of the world will not stand against. That is why you must learn to employ the force of persistence. Don't keep changing profession or looking for easy one. There is no work that is easy. When you are labouring in the path of your passion, you have enough energy to succeed in it. So, persist in your pursuit. Anything worth achieving will demand your persistence. Don't give up and soon you will move up. Peace!


PRAYER: Lord, help me to identify my passion for my persistence

“THE GREATER THE GOAL, THE TOUGHER THE PRICE”

Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
