TIME OF JOY Philippians 4:1-7 Devotional:- “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again l say, rejoice.” (V. 4) KJV One of the most important and most needed virtues of life is joy. When joy is not in place, many things may not be in place. It is joy that eases a man off the tension of life. It is joy that puts men always in health (Proverbs 17:22). It is joy that destroys our doubt. It is the joy in the Lord that increases our faith. It is joy that refreshes our minds and gives us mental richness. There are many more things that joy does in our lives, yet it looks so scarce in the lives of many. This is because there are not many pleasant situations that will help them rejoice. But you, as a believer, should know that you cannot afford to live in sorrow, for without joy, life will be totally in shambles. It is with joy that we can bring our situation back to life and beauty (Isaiah 12:3). It is the strength of life (Nehemiah 8:10). The coming of Jesus to the world brought the joy that would...

1 Thessalonians 5:12-22
Devotional- “See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all”  (V. 15)




    The word pursue simply talk about a race. This is not just in a tournament alone but in all endeavors of life. This means what you are intending to create or achieve are also running, they are not static. So, if you don't pursue them you cannot catch up with them. This is a strong truth about life and this is true of anything worth being achieved.

    The word of God says, you should pursue what is good for yourself and for others. This is because good things seems to be running away from people. It is like good things don't want anyone to achieve them. So, it demands that you make up your mind and run as fast as you can, to create your own desire. Many people only wants to run for a while and relax. Unfortunately, achievement of life does not recognize our different inabilities. There is a speed by which you must be running (1 Corinthians 9:24)

    Friend, it is time to face the reality about your life. The ability of God to run and obtain is in you, but you must be willing to run. There is no one to run for you in many of the race of life. God is the giver of strength (Isaiah 40:28-31). You need to study the word of God for your strength (Psalms 119:97-100). Pick other relevant books for your strength ( Proverbs 24:5). Then, discipline yourself to run and you will create your own desire. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to run in the right direction for my achievements

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 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.
