  REHEARSAL FOR ETERNITY Ecclesiastes 3:9-15 Devotional:- “He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end” (V.11) It is important you realize that life here is a rehearsal for eternity. Just like you spend nine month in your mother’s womb, but that was a preparation for the real life, so also is life here compared to eternity. No matter how many years you spend here it is not up to one percent of eternity.  The scripture we read today says that God has planted eternity in our heart. That is why you don’t want to die. But as God’s kingdom citizen, death is not your termination but transition. So, choosing where to spend eternity is what we do here. This is by choosing to relate with Jesus the son of God or with sin and devil. That means these two relationship determines where you will spend your eternity (John 3:16).  The best way to live as a child of God ...

CELEBRATION

CELEBRATION             

Isaiah 9:1-7
Devotional:- “You have multiplied the nation And increased its joy; They rejoice before You According to the joy of harvest, As men rejoice when they divide the spoil” (V. 3)


   
    When a people are celebrating and rejoicing, something must have happened to them. It is either they have received a new blessing from the Lord or they have conquered their enemies (Psalms 126:1-3; Isaiah 9:3-4). That is why we must stand in victory to keep our celebration and joy.
 
   As a people standing in victory, we don't wait for anything to make us rejoice or celebrate. We live by faith of our great expectations of both victor and blessings (Romance 1:17). We don't allow situation to dictates our mood. We create what we want to see in our life today and the future according to the word of God, by standing in victory every day (Proverbs 23:18).
 
   Friend, don't let anything that is happening or not happening tamper with your joy and celebration. Your joy and celebration is an instrument of strength (Nehemiah 8:10). It opens you up to light or divine ideas for your progress and victory and so you can plan with it. Your joy is the mystery of your blessings (Isaiah 12:3). Your joy is what guarantees your coming harvest (Psalms 126:5-6). In the midst of all situations, rejoice (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). You will make it in Jesus name. Peace.
 
PRAYER: Lord, help me to keep operating the wisdom of joy.
 
“IT IS JOY THAT KEEPS YOU IN TOTAL JOY”

Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.

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.
