TIME OF CELEBRATION

  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.

KNOWING GOD

KNOWING GOD            

Daniel 11:29-39
Devotional :- “ Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits” (V. 32)


   One of the major deceptions of the devil is to make man feel that all is limited to the physical (Hebrews 11:3). Therefore, man becomes limited to what he can see. That will simply make lives hopeless. But all of that, are lies of the devil (John 8:44). When a man knows God, he will start to operate at the realm far higher than the natural.
 
   The Bible says “some will be corrupted with flattery”. This is because they will play into the deception of the devil to disobey the covenant of God. They will argue the scripture. They will cancel the covenant of God. They will become encouragement of disobedience. So, their lives will become corrupt with time. That is, their mind will be malfunctioning (Romans 1:28)
 
   To know God is to know His name. It is to know His word and His ways. The revelation of the name and the ways of God makes you confidence to walk in power. Knowing God demands searching for Him through His word and not through nature alone (Proverbs 25:2). It takes seeking, to find out who God is (Matthew 7:7). When people know who God is, then they find strength of faith in His covenant (1 Corinthians 2:9-16). This will make them to be rude to the devil and resist him because they know his weaknesses. Peace. 
 
PRAYER: Lord, reveal to me the power in your name and your ways.

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.
