DELAY

  DELAY Proverbs 13:10-20 Devotional:- “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life” (v.12) NKJV Another strong factor militating against the joy of some people today is delay. This is an experience of expectation proving longer in coming than expected. It makes a man afraid or uncertain of what the future holds. It often weakens the faith of people and makes them feel disappointed. The word of God in our scripture today says it brings weariness to the soul. We must realise that weariness given by delay is a hindrance to our receiving from God. The more we allow weariness, the more we may be delayed. It is a trick of the enemy to keep postponing our miracles. That is why the word of God says the just shall live by faith (Romans 1:17). It is also a threat to our joy. The enemy knows that joy produces our physical, mental and spiritual strength, so he always want us to celebrate sorrow (Nehemiah 8:10). Friend, you must therefore be wise to know...

MYSTERIES                   

Read: Mark 4:10-12
And He said to them, “To you, it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables. (Vs.11)


    The kingdom of God operates by the mystery of God. It is hidden because God wants it to look foolish to the common mind (1 Corinthians 2:6-8). But they are the wisdom of God for human liberty (1 Corinthians 1:23-25). Mysteries are the hidden wisdom of God. God says His ways are different from our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). So, as God’s children, we need to know that operating in the kingdom demands us having the working knowledge of His mysteries (I Corinthians 22:14).
 
    Jesus said, God has given us access into His mysteries. People outside are in darkness (Isaiah 60:2-3). Mysteries are hidden truths that solve the problems of life (Proverbs 25:2, Deuteronomy 29:29). That is why the mysteries of the kingdom of God are still mysteries to them but to us they are the working of the power of God. That is why only the humble and the meek can operate in this kingdom (Psalms 25:9-14). You should not be a Christian and be ignorant of the power of God. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of secrets.
 
    These mysteries are the hidden power in the blood of Jesus; the power in the communion table; the power of the anointing oil, among others.
Friend, stop complaining about these mysteries. Seek to have knowledge by studying and meditating on the word of God with an open mind. As you do that, the Holy Spirit will show you the deep things of God which will put you in command of His word. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, reveal Your power to me for my progress.

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

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.
