GOOD REPORT

  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

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.

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.
