SPIRIT OF JOY

  SPIRIT OF JOY Galatians 5:16-26 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness” (v.22) NKJV For all men to experience an ever-flowing joy, we must first possess the spirit of joy. God is the source of joy. When He is in a man, He brings His joy along (Psalm 16:11). Since God is a Spirit, He can only be with men by dwelling in them. When the spirit of God dwells in a man, he will experience unlimited joy. One of the most neglected exercises in the church is people receiving the Holy Spirit. Most Christians look for one excuse or the other to neglect the Holy Spirit in their life. Sometimes people feel the Holy Spirit is not that necessary. Some people feel it is an old way of following the Lord. But you need to know that if you lack the Spirit of God, God’s word says that you are none of His own (Romans 8:9). Friend, it will be wisdom for you to set aside time to ask and be filled with the Spirit of Christ. When you are filled wit...

COURAGE            

1 Samuel 17:31-51
Devotional:- “Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God" (V. 36)


 

   Courage is a product of light and light is by revelation. For a man to encounter revelation about the power and the glory of God, he must give himself to meditating in the word of God. No matter who a man is or what a man is; he will still be afraid at the face of the threat of the devil or situations bigger than him. But, it is light that can shatter or dispel darkness.
 
   God wanted Joshua to build up in courage and He showed him the way of courage (Joshua 1:8). You don’t gain courage because you have muscle, if not, it is not David that should be bold to confront Goliath (1 Samuel 17:32). He did not gain courage by muscle, but by light (1 Samuel 17:26, 36, 45). David had the revelation of the fact that the army of the living God cannot be defiled or defeated. This revelation built spiritual courage in him so much that he was courageous to confront Goliath.
 
    Friend, it is the deception of the devil to make you play down on the word of God. The word is your strength (Daniel 11:32). Don’t think life is just casual. Take time to regularly meditate in God’s word. Stop arguing or rationalizing it with your brain. Create quality time to study and meditate in His word daily. And the world will hear about your victory. Peace.
 
PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me by your words.
 
“WHEN YOU START TAKING THE WORD OF GOD SERIOUS, THEN, YOU WILL BE TAKEN SERIOUS”

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 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.
