  WHAT CAN YOU SEE? Genesis 13:7-18 Devotional:- “And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: "Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are-northward, southward, eastward, and westward” (V. 15) NKJV Everyone on the earth is looking forward to enter into the New Year at this season. Sometimes we forget the principle that gives birth to our joy and just continue anyhow. One of the things you must consider right now is the need to see right to have it right in the New Year. Nothing happens by mere accident. It is now you can determine what must be for you in the New Year. You just begin to see with your inner eye some things God shall do for you in the New Year (Isaiah 43:19). See, if you can’t see it you may not receive it. After Lot left Abraham. God knew that He is going to take him to another season of his life. God therefore employed this working principle. So that Abraham can be pregnant with the things God is about to birth through him and God sai...

PROMOTION     

Genesis 39:1-6
Devotional Verse:-“So Joseph found favor in his sight, and served him. Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority” (V. 4)



    No one enjoys a stagnant life. No one wants a life that is not moving forward. God designs your life to be progressive (Proverbs 4:18). That is why you must work in the wisdom of God for your promotion. There is God factor concerning your life and there are factors you have to take steps about. It is in using what God has giving to you that you become better and you can grow up better (Hebrews 5:14).


   We saw in the bible how Joseph was sold to slavery by his brothers (Genesis 37:26-28). Notwithstanding the situation of Joseph, he was wise enough to give himself to service in the house of Potiphar. As Joseph served faithfully, God brought him into promotion (Genesis 39:4). No matter what people have done to you, all you need to do is to give yourself to service and God will promote you (Psalms 75:6-7).

   Men’s promotion may be temporary, but God’s promotion is permanent (Ezekiel 3:14). It is therefore important that you humble yourself to serve. This is not limited only to house of the Lord. Serving God is doing your work or business with the motive of serving the Lord. This is doing your work not as men pleasers, but as pleasing the Lord (Ephesians 6:5-8). Stop doing what you are doing just for the sake of money. Yes, you should make profit in all your endeavors. But let your motive be to work as service unto God. Then, your promotion will come (Mark 10:44-45). Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, let my promotion come from you

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.
