JOY OF PARENTS

  JOY OF PARENTS Proverbs 15:11-21 “A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish man despises his mother” (V.20). NKJV One of the things that brings perpetual joy and gladness to parents at their old age is the lives of their children. When a man sees his children living right, prospering and serving God, it brings great joy that no one can take away from him. Many parents are living in sadness because of the terrible lives the children are living, but the truth is that they never invested the “wisdom” of the word of God in these children when they were young. They left these children to live their lives the way they wanted, now the consequences are manifesting. Beloved, if you want to have joy in your old age, plant into your children now the word of God that can make them wise, and when they are wise and behave wisely, your joy will know no bounds. Prayer: Lord, help me to raise Godly children. “YOUR CHILDREN ARE YOUR TREASURES”

SELF DISCIPLINE

SELF DISCIPLINE

1 Corinthians 9:24-27
Devotional- “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified”  (V. 27)



   It is almost impossible to create any good thing in life without self discipline. The truth is that with the virtue of self discipline, there is nothing in this world that any man can not achieve. This is because self discipline is putting yourself in the mould that is necessary for the formation or bringing forth a thing. Everything you need to produce demand some set of condition before it can be shapened to what you desire. A person preparing for an interview must study to come out successfully. A manager must educate, delegate and evaluate.


    Paul the apostle said that he had to discipline his body not to be disqualified. In self discipline, it is the body we disciplined to adjust to a mould to create a goal. Those who cannot discipline themselves cannot achieve many things on earth. Envying someone or blaming someone is wrong. When you identify the mould or the condition to achieve anything be willing to subject yourself to it. If you think you need it and you don't know what it takes, ask those who are achieving it.

   Friend, never consider your achievement and your success impossible. The word of God says “I can do all things through Christ that strengthen me” (Philippians 4:13). The information you are reading today is out to empower you by the Spirit of the Lord. You are not less than anyone in ability. You only need to discipline yourself to face it. You will succeed in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, whenever and wherever I need to discipline myself, let me enjoy your grace.

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.
