  MAKING GOD HAPPY Numbers 6:22-27 Devotional:- “May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you” (V. 25 NLT) One of the goals of our life is to make God happy. This is because the goal of worship is to make God happy. A man can make God happy when he pleases the Lord in all His ways. Job was a man who pleases the Lord in his life time (Job 1:8). Noah was another man who also pleased God in his generation (Genesis 6:8). We are living for the glory of God when we live to make God happy by pleasing the Him. To make God happy, we must love Him supremely (Luke 14:26). No one loved us as God does. He knows what no one knows about us that is why we must love Him more than ALL. It is possible to love God supremely when we relate closely with Him (Hosea 6:6; Matthew 22:37-38; Genesis 6:9). To make God happy, we must learn to trust Him completely. Noah trusted Him and built an arc even on a dry land (Hebrew 11:7). Though, he had never seen rain before yet believed God and trusted Him compl...

Scripture Reading: Psalms 113:1-3
Devotional -“From the rising of the sun to its going down The Lord's name is to be praised” (V. 3)



     The praises of God should be 'always' in our mouth. A mouth that is not always praising God is likely praising people, situation or problems. Remember that God created you for His praise (Isaiah 43:9-21). Remember that you are saved to praise God (1Peter 2:9). This is because it is in praise that God can be part of your life. It is in praises that He will be enthroned in your heart and in all your situations (Psalms 22:3). It is in praises that God can take over the battles of your life (2 Chronicles 20:20-24). 

     The word of God says, we should praise God from the rising of the sun to it’s going down. This simply means from morning till night. The word of God says, in everything, we should keep giving thanks to God (1 Thessalonians 5:18). This is because we need the presence of God round the clock. This is because, God wants to always inspire us to action for our progress and keep leading us into His plan and purpose.

    King David who understands the importance and the power of praise said, he praises God seven times a day (Psalms 119:164). Praising God always means you are conscious of His presence with you and giving Him praises (Psalms 16:8). “Thank you Lord” “You are worthy of my praises” “I am grateful” etc are words of praises anytime, anywhere. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, put your words of praises in my mouth always

“YOU CAN’T BE LIFTING GOD AND GO DOWN”

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.

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.
