PRETENDING

  PRETENDING Proverbs 13:1-10 Devotional:- “There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing; And one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches” (v.7) NKJV One other instrument of the devil to steal people’s joy is to fill their hearts with pretence. To pretend is to behave or talk like, or put yourself in a status, that you are not. It is to use what you don’t have to impress people who do not like you. It is to give people a false impression about you. This always results in a show of shame and sorrow. In the scripture we read today, there is the picture of a poor man who pretended to be rich. Who is he deceiving? Today you will see some people borrowing to spray at a party. Some will arrive at a beer parlour and ask everybody to be served, while at home, there is no food, and children's school fees are yet to be paid. Some are known to be very good outside to their secretaries, receptionists and the like, while at home they don’t have any credibility (Proverbs 12:9, Job 2...

CONVERTING SOULS

CONVERTING SOULS                

Psalms 19:1-14
Devotional:-“The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple” (V. 7) NKJV



   The word of God is powerful enough to convert souls. This is one of the most difficult tasks to carry out. A man or a woman can easily repent but their soul may not be converted easily. When you see a converted soul, he is the one who have totally changed, contrary to what he used to do or say. Someone who is ready to ague to death saying A is good and B is bad and now ready to die to say B is good and A is bad, that a genuine conversion.
 
   The word of God says, the power of the word of God can convert soul. This was the experience of Saul of Tarsus who became Paul the Apostle. He was ready to die for his Jewish religion. But after an encounter with Jesus, he was converted and preached the gospel he was once killing people for (Acts 9:1-9; 20-21). Remember, Jesus is the word of God (John 1:14). That is why the word is powerful enough to convert.
 
   When someone is stubborn around you, all you need to do is to pray for the person to encounter the word of God. He will be broken down and completely changed. This is the power of the word of God.  Please take advantage that your family is young and together. Keep sharing the word daily and the family shall be converted. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, convert the soul of all the members of my family by your word.
 
“NO SOUL CAN REFUSE THE WORD OF HIS MAKER”

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.
