GOOD SPOUSE

  GOOD SPOUSE 1 Corinthians 7:1-5 Devotional:- “Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband” (v.3) NKJV One of the greatest places where God expects love to be demonstrated is in the family, and most strongly between the husband and wife. It is a pity that this generation does not have many spouses enjoying true love in their relationships. Many have turned the home into a children-producing factory, and there is nothing strong that ties them together. And today, men can no longer understand the purpose of God for instituting marriage. The scripture we read today gives us some great instruction for our distinction in this world of destruction. God’s word says, "Each should render to one another due affection." Affection is love. God expects you to love each other (1 John 4:7). It is as you love each other that the atmosphere is created for God to mend and amend things in the house. Understand that the word 'love'...

GRATEFUL HEART

GRATEFUL HEART           

Scripture Reading: Psalms 100:1-5
Devotional -“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name” (V. 4)



     Gratitude is one of the attitudes of mature people. Gratitude is an attitude that proves a man to be wise. As simple as gratitude is, so also as difficult as it could be for many people to demonstrate. The truth is that, the praise of God demands that we are thankful and to be thankful we will need a grateful heart.

   The word of God commands us to be thankful unto God (Psalm 100:4; 1 Thessalonians 5:18). Disobedience to this often leads to barrenness and stagnancy (2 Samuel 6:20-23; Malachi 2:1-2). The progresses some ought to have made are hindered by ingratitude. So many people sing praises to God daily but they are not thankful (Matthew 15:7-9). A grateful heart is a heart that is humble to appreciate what God is doing. People lack a grateful heart because they are highly ambitious. Their plans are higher than that of God. So, whatever God is doing is not appreciated.

   Friend, God’s plan for you is good and He has the best time to bring them to manifestation (Jeremiah 29:11). Comparing yourself with others is not wisdom (2 Corinthians 10:12). No matter how great is your desire, wisdom demands that you take one step after the other to get there. So, every little step should be appreciated and soon you will get to your place (1 Peter 5:6). And everyone will rejoice with you in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be humble to be grateful

“A GRATEFUL HEART, IS BUILDING UP FOR GREATNESS”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
