  COMPARISM 2 Corinthians 10:7-18 Devotional:- “Oh, don't worry; we wouldn't dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!” (v.12) NLT. Man, by his complexity, sometimes creates complications for himself in life. One of the things we often do incorrectly is to measure our lives by comparing them to other people’s lives. We often forget that we are sent for a different purpose, so our goals and objectives cannot be the same. There is nothing wrong with trying to gauge your level of performance against others in the same field. But it will be completely wrong for you to determine whether you are a failure or a success by the life of another man. Paul, the apostle of Christ, knows that his own purpose and program are from the Lord and are different from what others have been given. For example, if some apostles were marr...

COURAGE AND CONFIDENCE

COURAGE AND CONFIDENCE               

Proverbs 28:1-5
Devotional:-“The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are bold as a lion” (V. 1) NKJV



   The cleansing power of the word of God works to purify and release the Spirit of righteousness into the heart of people.  When a heart is gaining righteousness by the word of the Lord, it gains boldness. Courage and confidence are the products of a clean and clear mind. When someone has nothing to hide, he becomes bold in defending himself and claiming his right.
 
   The word of God says, a sinner runs when no one pursues, but the righteous is as bold as a lion. It is sin that brings condemnation, but the righteousness of God makes a man bold. To live in righteousness is to live and stand right with God. The word of God teaches us of how to stand right with God. Righteousness is standing right where God is standing. The word of God is the word of righteousness. To be confidence is to be sure of a backing. The word of God assures us of the backing of God (Psalms 23:4). To be courageous is by the right spirit and this is the Spirit of the word of God.
 
   Friend, it is important that you open the doors of your heart to the word of God. It will produce courage and confidence in your heart. It will build faith in you and make you courageous to confronts the devil (Romans 10:17). By the word of God, you will conquer in your life in Jesus name. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, help me to gain strength by your word.
 
“THE COURAGE OF THE RIGHTEOUS WILL ALWAYS OVERCOME “

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 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.
