  THINK FORWARD John 6:3-13 Devotional:- “…gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost” (V.12) KJV  Coming to a period like this, so many people have gathered so much to be enjoyed. This time also, so many homes enjoy so much of abundance of many good things. The government also releases more money to the Society in form of incentives for their staffs and benefactors. Most country enjoys abundance in their society at this time. But only few people think forward that they should not finish it all now. It is this lack of wisdom that makes many to lack at the beginning of every year. But you should be wise. In the scripture we read today, even though God has provided abundantly for the people to eat yet Jesus knew it is wisdom not to waste the remnant. So He asked them to gather it. This will at last meet the need of another time for other people (Proverbs 13:22-25). Friend, don’t eat and waste everything in this season, learn to keep Something for the coming year s...

THE POOR IN SPIRIT

THE POOR IN SPIRIT       

Read: Luke 6:20-23
Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: “Blessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God. (Vs. 20)

     This teachings of Jesus are referred to as the beatitudes which mean the blessings. Jesus talked about being poor in the spirit. Jesus used these teachings to enlighten us on the blessings of the kingdom of God. It looks quite different from the factors of human blessings because it is not of the kingdom of men.

 
    To be poor in the spirit is to be meek, teachable and correctable. It is to live a life that is not over attached to anything. This is a great virtue in the sight of God (I Peter 3:4). It means, to feel empty and unsatisfied with God. It is the zeal of wanting more of God. Such people will get deeper and deeper with God.
 
    Jesus said that it is only people who are poor in the spirit that will have the kingdom of God. This is a possessive language which means that they will be in control in the kingdom of God. They will be people of authority in the kingdom of God. They will speak and the angels of God will carry out their requests and instructions (Isaiah 66:2). They will be honorable both in heaven and on earth. They will not lose anything in this world and will still have abundance in eternity. Wake up and receive. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, help me to know you more and better.
 
“HE WHO KEEP KNEELING BEFORE GOD, WILL STAND TALL AMONG MEN”

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.
