APPRECIATION

  APPRECIATION Psalm 92:1-10 Devotional:- “It is good to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High” (v.1) NKJV It is in the habit of most people that when they are expecting something from God, they will do everything possible to gain His favour. But as soon as it is done, that thing loses value to them. So, people only value what they don’t have. This sometimes does not make us have a heart of gratitude to God. We will always promise to give thanks, but as soon as we receive our expectations, some will forget to give thanks. Many do not know that the opportunity or privilege that is available to them is what qualifies them for what they are expecting. But they look down on this because their expectations have not been met. Your health is more important than travelling abroad. The breath of life you enjoy is far more valuable than the car or job you are expecting. In fact, this qualifies you for those things. Friend, no matter what God has done for you,...

RESISTING

RESISTING            

1 Samuel 5:5-11
Devotional :- “So it was, after they had carried it away, that the hand of the Lord was against the city with a very great destruction; and He struck the men of the city, both small and great, and tumors broke out on them” (V. 9)


   
    A very strong factor of strength is ability to stand against the opponent. It is he that stands against or resists other that is known to be the strongest. That is why you cannot keep sitting down in defeat, you must know what it takes to arise and resist or stand against the forces that are intimidating your life and destiny.
 
   The word of God says we should humble ourselves before God. It is then we will be able to operate under the mighty hand of God (James 4:7). Stop carrying your problems all about as though you are the only one that has problem. Learn to trust God to take care of them all. It is as you humble yourself before God that He will start to reveal his strength in your victory (Psalms 25:9). It is humility to know and accept that you need God to win. The word of God says we should resist the devil in faith (1 Peter 5:9). This means, it takes stimulation by the word in faith to be able to stop the devil. 
 
   It is therefore important you gather the strength of faith to stand against what is against you from now. This we do in the place of prayers (Act 4:23-25). Don’t give in to failure.  Don’t live and accept defeat. Gain wisdom to correct whatever you are doing wrongly. Build up faith by studying the word of God (Romans 10:17). Then you will be strong enough to resist the forces against you and stand in your victory in Jesus name. Peace 
 
PRAYER: Lord, help me to be humble to take your strength
 
“IF YOU ARE NOT RESISTING, YOU WILL BE RESISTED”

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.
