  JOY IN PRAYERS I Samuel 2:1-10 Devotional:- “And Hannah prayed and said: "My heart rejoices in the LORD; My horn is exalted in the LORD. I smile at my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.” (V. 1) NKJV We often fall into depression when we look around us, and all we see are unanswered prayers. It becomes worse when you are despised and mocked for that thing that you are looking up to God for. Hannah was like that, a depressed and unhappy woman. What was Hannah’s secret that made her proclaim to all that “my heart rejoices in the Lord”? 1. She decided to look away from her oppressor 2. She went to God in prayer, pouring her sorrow to God.  3. She made a vow to give God the child 4. She left the presence of God, believing God answers prayer. Hannah made good her vow, and her joy was full. Are you depressed? Pour your heart to God, make a vow to him, and you will see him answer your prayers and your joy will Come. Prayer: Lord, help me to look up to you, not look down o...

THE QUALITY SEED

THE QUALITY SEED            

Read: Luke 21:1-4
For all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had” (Vs. 4)

    The quality of a seed is evident in the richness of its fruits. In the kingdom of this world, we celebrate those who give big gifts but that is not so in the kingdom of God. In the kingdom of God, the quality of your love determines the quality of your seed. You can see the quality of the love of God in His willingness to give His only son (John 3:16). That was His all.
     Jesus was in the temple and people were giving their offerings. Jesus comment that those were giving big offerings took it from their fat account. A widow brought what looked small to man but that was all she had. To God, when you give your all, you have given your best. No one wants to accept a 70% marriage but a 100% marriage.
 
    Friend, stop reserving your strength to serve the Lord. Abraham gave his only son, Isaac. Hannah gave her only son, Samuel. They all bagged greatness in God. Be willing to give your all into anything you do for God. 99.999% is not comparable to the best. Give your heart and life totally to God. Don’t divide your offerings or tithes so that you can get the best of God. It is your day!
 
Prayer: Lord, help me to give my best to You.
 
“ONLY THOSE WHO GIVE ALL CAN EARN THE BEST FROM 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.
