A SINGING HEART

  A SINGING HEART Ephesians 5:10-20 Devotional:- “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,” (v.19) NKJV Singing always, to some people, is equal to madness. Some believe that if you see a man who has never had a time of sorrow, then he is not a man. According to them, life must have ups and downs. But do you know that God want to simply make your days full of joy and void of sorrow. That is why Christ came to carry our sorrows away. If He has come to carry our sorrow away, then it is wrong to expect yourself to still be living in what is no more available (Isaiah 53:4). What the bible is teaching us today is contrary to what men will teach. God’s word wants us to always sing and be joyful. That is why God’s word says; rejoice in the Lord always and not sometimes (Philippians 4:4). Listen to this, if you want to be joyful and void of sorrow for the rest of your life, you need to pray it into your life. Sing...

BRINGING HIM PLEASURE

BRINGING HIM PLEASURE               

John 4:19-26
Devotional: -“But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him” (V. 23)



   Praises is bringing pleasure to God. This is what God expect from us always. Just like a wise son will bring joy to his father, so is God our maker is expecting of us. Whenever a son makes the father glad, the father will willingly bless the son, so it is with God and man. We bring pleasure to God whenever we are praising Him.



   The word of God says, God is seeking those who will worship Him. Remember, praises and worship is the same before God. God is seeking those who will worship Him because it is in this He can inject us with His spirit and His grace. When He made us, He didn’t make us to live without Him (John 15:5). That was the reason He put His spirit in us (Genesis 2:7). He didn’t do this for another creature. It is His spirit in us that made us to have His likeness (Genesis 1:27). So, we are to keep quality relationship with Him to be able to fulfill our purpose of creation. So, He is seeking our worship like a man seeks a woman. This is because the man has something to deposit in the woman before she can fulfill her purpose on earth.

   So, we bring God this relational pleasure when we praise Him (Isaiah 43:21). We bring pleasure when we trust Him completely (Proverbs 3:5-6). We bring God pleasure when we obey Him wholeheartedly (Psalms 119:33-34). We bring Him pleasure when we praise Him continually (1 Thessalonians 5:18; Psalms 119:164). We bring Him pleasure when we serve Him (Psalms 33:15). Peace

PRAYER: Lord, help me to bring you pleasure in all that I do

“YOU CAN’T BE MAKING GOD GLAD AND REMAIN IN SORROW”

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.
