  MY REFUGE Psalms 46:1-7 Devotional:- "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (V. 1) It is always very easy for men to say God is not good to them when they have a pressing need. But if you observe it carefully, wisdom will let you always appreciate Him. It is not every one that began this year that is still alive now. Many were faced with challenges greater than themselves and were swallowed up. If you listen to the reasons for their falls, they are not too great. The truth is that you also have passed through challenges greater than theirs, but God was your refuge. Anytime you run to Him, you will find a hiding place in Him. Even when it looks like the situation wants to swallow you, you still find strength for help in God. Do you know that you have been enjoying His refuge not because you are better but because He loves you? No matter what happens, do not be afraid, your lover is your refuge. All you need to do is keep drinking from the river from the...

CHOOSE TO SERVE GOD

CHOOSE TO SERVE GOD         

Joshua 24:14-24
Devotional Verse:-“And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." (V. 15)



    At creation, God made man a free moral agent. So, man is a creature of choice. Man is fashioned to process spiritual thing and be able to carry it out in the physical world by the use of our soul. So, by the soul of man, we can easily be used by either the spirit of God or the spirit of the devil to carry out their agenda on earth.

    The servant of God, Joshua was used by the Lord to speak to the children of Israel of the need to make a choice of who to serve. Notice that they have to make their choice between God and idols. This is always the kind of situation man is always confronted with in many situation. The God of money and materials are always attempting to steal our heart from serving the Lord in truth (Luke 4:6-7). Immediate gratification is always a temptation inhibiting the choice of man to serve.

Friend, we are in a time that you can no longer trade anything with service of God. Make up your mind to serve your maker. Many have soil their garment of righteousness because of the things of this word. Make up your mind to serve God in all you do either at home, community or in the office. God is faithful to reward those who serve Him. You shall be rewarded in Jesus name. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to always choose to serve you.

“WHOEVER YOU CHOOSE TO SERVE IS YOUR LORD”

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.

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.
