THE PAST

  THE PAST Isaiah 43:8-21 Devotional:- “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.” (v.18) NKJV God, who gives us a memory, want us to use our past experiences to help us make quality decisions in the future, but the past is always the enemy of the future for many. If you don’t know how to manage your memory system of the past, it is capable of standing against your success in the future. As emotional beings, we are sometimes faced with the challenges of memories of our past experiences, our errors and failures. You will observe that at every point of decision-making to progress, the enemy will bring back to your memory the past experiences of your failure. This is just to bring fear to your heart and make you doubt the possibility of your success, so you could lose your joy. The scripture we read today instructs us to let go of the past. God is starting a brand-new thing with you. He is giving you new experiences of success and breakthrough. You need to lea...

SOCIAL CAPITAL​​​​

SOCIAL CAPITAL​​​​

Luke 16:1-13
Devotional-"And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home”  (V. 9)



    One of the most potent and widely misunderstood virtue is that of social capita.  Many have dashed their destinies because of their wrong view of this. Many turned wicked and some turned to organizing robbery and kidnapping of their friends for money since their expectations from  people they depended on are not forth coming. It is the reason why crime is increasing in the land today. This is because people feel someone have and he did not give them. So, they want to get their share anyway.


   Jesus told a parable about a servant whose master wanted to sack. In his hopelessness he started treating the customers well with his masters good. This is out rightly wrong but the master commended him for something. Social capital is capital deposited in people to later collect it back even with interest without they knowing. See, you have something or you know something that can help others, use it to help. It is the help you render to someone today that becomes your social capital harvest tomorrow.

  Friend, observe that most of the help you enjoy are often from people you have helped before. To think because you are just playing and laughing with people will qualify you for their things is not really true. Don't be lazy or idle. Your gift and talents, your opportunities are for social capital investment. I pity those who have been in church for ten years and bless nobody either with their ability or substance. Don't be proud. Be a blessing and you shall be blessed. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, give me the wisdom of a contributor.

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.

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.
