  JOYFUL COMPANION  Luke 1:37-45 Devotional:- “For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy” (v.44) NKJV We must know that sooner or later, we will always look like the people we are moving with. God’s word says, he that walks with the wise shall be wise and the companion of fools shall be destroyed (Proverbs 13:20). This means that what we gain from the surroundings of our associates has a very strong influence upon our life. If a man walks with people who don’t know or appreciate joy, he may not also experience joy. We read about the visitation of Mary to Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. Since two of them carry unique children of divine significance, they both have the Spirit of God in them. This brings about a joyful effect. As soon as Elizabeth heard the voice of Mary, the baby leaped for joy. You therefore need to understand that the richest place you need to seek to be is where God’s children are gathe...

ACCEPT YOUR ASSIGNMENT

ACCEPT YOUR ASSIGNMENT         

Romans 9:14-24
Devotional Verse:-“But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?"” (V. 20)


   In the plan of God for making you, He has the best in mind for you (Jeremiah 29:11). The form by which He made you may not be the one like that of your friend, but it is the best for you. Most people compare their life with others and the Bible says, this is not wisdom (2 Corinthians 10:12). This is the reason why many will never fulfill their destiny.
 
   The word of God says the potter have the right to determine the shape of the clay. It is the potter that knows the reason he wants to make the clay into what shape. It is therefore wisdom that a man should accept the mode God has made him into and be happy with it. Many struggle with life today and fails because they don't like the way God made them. No one will ever be happy trying to be like another person. Your sense of self-esteem and joy will be of quality when you accept and celebrate what God has fashioned you into.
 
   Friend, things don't have to go for you the way it goes for your friend. You need to be grateful for your mode or your shape in life. You need to love your life and be thankful. Then you will be able to make the most of your life. Not everyone will like what you do, yet, the people you are sent to will always celebrate you. Don't let the devil steal your joy of service. All you need to do is to grow in your shape. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, help me to always celebrate myself

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.

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.
