  NEVER BREAK YOU 1 Corinthians 10:6-13  Devotional:- “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it“ (V. 13) NKJV When some people go through challenges today, it looks as if the end has come. And sometimes we think, it is going to be forever. But God’s love is revealed to us even in our challenges. His help and strength are always available to us, even in our most difficult situations. He has promised never to leave us alone. He is right there with you in your challenges. And that is why you cannot be swallowed nor destroyed, even by any situation you may be facing right now. The scripture we read today says, God will not watch us fall into any pit of trouble above what we can come out from. That means, He is looking at you in that situation, He knows your shame. But He also knows that...

HUMILITY

HUMILITY            

2 Samuel 6:12-23
Devotional- “Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, "How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the base fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!" (V. 20)
    Praises demand humility for it to be genuinely giving to God. Man has been so brainwashed to think there is no need for God, so much, that this pride does not make us to praise Him. The truth is that praising someone will demand that one humbles himself. But in the course of trying to maintain our self esteem, we often find it difficult to Praises demand humility for it to be genuinely giving to God. Man has been so brainwashed to think there is no need for God, so much, that this pride does not make us to praise Him. The truth is that praising someone will demand that one humbles himself. But in the course of trying to maintain our self esteem,we often find it difficult to praise God at the expense of our ego.


    As David and the children of Israel were bringing the ark of the Lord to the place prepared for it, this was done in much music of praises to God. David the king, then danced in praises to His maker. But this does not fit in to the human mode for a king. We expect kings to behave kingly, but David humbled himself and danced unto God so much that one of his wives, the daughter of King Saul mocked him and the woman remain barren all her lifetime.

   Friend, God is not the age mate of any mortal man. So, we must be humbled in other to be able to praise Him. No matter how highly placed a woman might be, when she is with her husband, she is number two and she must be humbled in other to be able to honour the husband (Ephesians 5:23-24). Among ourselves, we can play a kingly role, but when we are with God, please humble yourself that your praises may be acceptable. Peace 

PRAYER: Lord, give me a humble heart to praise you

“ONLY THE HUMBLE CAN PRAISE GOD”

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 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.
