  TIME OF CELEBRATION  2 Samuel 6:11-23 Devotional:- “Then David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod” (V. 14) NKJV As much as this season is tagged with much celebration, the enemy often tries to see how he could poison the joy of many people to remove them from the list of people who will celebrate. It will be wisdom for you to know that happiness and sorrow are a choice. I will advise you to choose to rejoice in hope and leave sorrow for the enemy (Romans 5:22). In the scripture we read today, David and all the people were in a mood of celebration because of the advent of the ark of the Lord. But a lady could not see what was worth celebrating, and she took offence at David’s elegant celebration. And she remains barren till her death. Friend, if the coming of the ark of the Lord is sufficient to lose celebration, how much more the coming of Christ, the Son of God. Don’t let the devil push you to sorrow corner in a time like this.

KEEP OBEYING IT

KEEP OBEYING IT                

Leviticus 26:3-12
Devotional: -“'If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform them” (V. 3) NKJV


   Every time God wants to promise His people to perform His covenant in their life, He will always start with the word ‘if’. ‘If’ is a word of condition. That is, these promises are for those who will obey these covenant instructions. This is because; God is a covenant keeping God. In covenant, each party has their role to play. It is as you are faithfully playing your role that God can play His own role.
 
  God promised in His word that if His people will obey His instruction, He will give rain in its season and fruits in its season. That tells you the power of obedience to the word of God. God always promise the best to those who obey Him (Isaiah 1:19). This means obedience makes us activates the power in the word of God. As powerful as the word of God is, disobedience could hinder it from working in the life of anyone (Deuteronomy 28:15).
 
  Friend, let us ask for the grace to always obey the Lord. We cannot need this grace enough. Human being are always tempted to disobey their maker. But keep it in mind from now that you must always obey the Lord. When you have made up your mind, the grace will always be sufficient for you (Psalm 119:11). And the Lord will always work wonders in your life. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to always obey your word.
 
“OBEDIENCE TO THE COVENANT EMPLOYS THE COVENANT POWER”

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.
