FEAR

  FEAR 1 John 4:11-21 Devotional:- “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love” (v.18) NKJV Among the attitudes that hinder the flow of joy is the attitude of fear. Wherever there is fear, joy cannot be there. This is because peace is like a bed that joy normally sits on. Since the opposite of peace is fear. It becomes impossible to have joy with fear. This is the major problem with many, whom we refer to as great or rich. They find it difficult to have joy simply because of the fear in their heart. Sources of fear include sin, disobedience to instruction, not living within your size, shady deals and non-believing in the word of God. The truth is fear can frustrate and kill joy, but there is something that can kill fear also. Wisdom demands that we should get what destroys fear, and this is faith. Faith is standing upon the word of God, i.e., choosing to rest because God’s word promise...

RICHES IN THIS KINGDOM

RICHES IN THIS KINGDOM        

Read: Mark 10:23-27
Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!” (Vs. 23)

    One of the things people have so much concern about is their riches. These are the valuable resources they have gathered over time. Everyone wants to jealously keep his/her valuables. Because of our approach to laboring hard to gather these valuables, we tend to turn them to gods.
     When Jesus told the disciples of how difficult it will be for the rich in this world to enter into the kingdom of God, they were astonished. They asked Him about who could be saved? Jesus explained in verse 24 that those who put their trust in their valuables would not be able to live in God’s kingdom. If care is not taken, almost everyone who is supposed to be chasing the Kingdom of God would find themselves racing to gather wealth. This is because they think that with it (wealth) they are secured. God is the true security (Psalm 127:1-2). 
     A genuine child of God must not trust in his/her riches (1 Timothy 6:17-19). Abraham, the father of faith was willing to let go of his only son. Is there anything you cannot let go for God? God wants to bless you with many things. Don’t ever let fear or greed stop your coming blessings. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, make me above any material blessing in this world.
 
“WHATEVER YOU CAN’T GIVE IS BIGGER THAN YOU AND IS YOUR god”

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.
