  TIME OF CELEBRATION  2 Samuel 6:11-23 Devotional:- “Then David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod” (V. 14) NKJV As much as this season is tagged with much celebration, the enemy often tries to see how he could poison the joy of many people to remove them from the list of people who will celebrate. It will be wisdom for you to know that happiness and sorrow are a choice. I will advise you to choose to rejoice in hope and leave sorrow for the enemy (Romans 5:22). In the scripture we read today, David and all the people were in a mood of celebration because of the advent of the ark of the Lord. But a lady could not see what was worth celebrating, and she took offence at David’s elegant celebration. And she remains barren till her death. Friend, if the coming of the ark of the Lord is sufficient to lose celebration, how much more the coming of Christ, the Son of God. Don’t let the devil push you to sorrow corner in a time like this.

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.

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.
