GOOD REPORT

  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

SERVING HIS PURPOSE

SERVING HIS PURPOSE       

Mark 1:32-39
Devotional Verse:-“But He said to them, "Let us go into the next towns that I may preach there also, because for this purpose I have come forth."(V. 38)



    It is important we understand the motive and the focus for which God expect our services to be. God has a purpose He wants to fulfill on earth through our services. So many think they are serving God today, but outside the will of God. They keep committedly serving God in a wrong way. That is why we need to understand the purpose or the motive through which God is expecting us to serve Him. It is only in this purpose we can establish the will of God on earth.

   Jesus said, for this purpose I have come. These purposes are the reasons we are here. Firstly, we should serve the Lord in a way that brings glory to God (1 Corinthians 10:3). Secondly, that we should serve God making all that we do to make the family of God stronger. Thirdly; we should serve God with the character and attitude of Christ (Philippians 2:5). Fourthly; we should serve the Lord to be a blessing to others (Genesis 12:2). We should serve the Lord to make others know that they need to come to God (Matthew 28:18-20).

   You can't be serving God with these motive and not please God. Serving God, but not in those purposes or motives will not be acceptable to Him. We will be able to do all we are doing in these purposes if we first totally surrender to Him as our Lord (Romans 12:1). Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always serve according to your purpose

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.

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.
