TIME OF JOY Philippians 4:1-7 Devotional:- “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again l say, rejoice.” (V. 4) KJV One of the most important and most needed virtues of life is joy. When joy is not in place, many things may not be in place. It is joy that eases a man off the tension of life. It is joy that puts men always in health (Proverbs 17:22). It is joy that destroys our doubt. It is the joy in the Lord that increases our faith. It is joy that refreshes our minds and gives us mental richness. There are many more things that joy does in our lives, yet it looks so scarce in the lives of many. This is because there are not many pleasant situations that will help them rejoice. But you, as a believer, should know that you cannot afford to live in sorrow, for without joy, life will be totally in shambles. It is with joy that we can bring our situation back to life and beauty (Isaiah 12:3). It is the strength of life (Nehemiah 8:10). The coming of Jesus to the world brought the joy that would...

THE NATURE OF CHILDREN

THE NATURE OF CHILDREN        

Read: Matthew 18:1-5
And said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.  (Vs. 3)

    When Jesus likened the kingdom of God to the life of a child, He did not intend that we should remain as children and not be matured. Rather, He wanted to teach us some of the characteristics of children which are similar to the lifestyle of the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 14:20). 
 
    Every child depends on his parents, and God wants us to depend on and trust in Him like children do (Psalm 125:1). Children always inform their parents about things and receive instruction on all they are to do. So because the Holy Spirit is in us, God wants us to consult Him always (Proverbs 3:5-6). A child easily forgives and God wants us to forgive like little children (Matthew 6:14). A child, when wrong is disciplined. He never thinks of changing his parents because of that.  In the same way, we should turn to God no matter the situation we find ourselves or whatever He asks us to do (Hebrews 12:4-6). 
 
    A faithful child always honors his parents. For this reason, God expects us to honor Him always (Malachi 1:6). All believers need to be meek, teachable and correctable. As a child, trust and believe in God for all His promises concerning your life, family, business, marriage, health, etc (Romans 10:11). Wait patiently on Him with understanding. He is a faithful God. He is a good father and He can never fail you. Be a faithful son or daughter to Him and this year, He will prove His faithfulness in your life.
 
Declaration: I am in good hands with Jesus.
 
“YOU NEED TO BE HUMBLE AS A CHILD TO HAVE THE BEST OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD”

Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
