  MAKING GOD HAPPY Numbers 6:22-27 Devotional:- “May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you” (V. 25 NLT) One of the goals of our life is to make God happy. This is because the goal of worship is to make God happy. A man can make God happy when he pleases the Lord in all His ways. Job was a man who pleases the Lord in his life time (Job 1:8). Noah was another man who also pleased God in his generation (Genesis 6:8). We are living for the glory of God when we live to make God happy by pleasing the Him. To make God happy, we must love Him supremely (Luke 14:26). No one loved us as God does. He knows what no one knows about us that is why we must love Him more than ALL. It is possible to love God supremely when we relate closely with Him (Hosea 6:6; Matthew 22:37-38; Genesis 6:9). To make God happy, we must learn to trust Him completely. Noah trusted Him and built an arc even on a dry land (Hebrew 11:7). Though, he had never seen rain before yet believed God and trusted Him compl...

DO BUSINESS TILL I COME

DO BUSINESS TILL I COME               

Luke 19:11-27
Devotional Verse:-“So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come.'”  (Vs. 13)

    To a citizen of the kingdom of God, doing business is not a suggestion but a commandment. Any child of God who is not doing business is therefore disobeying God. It is a sin that can send him to hell. What is the business God wants us to do? It is trading with what He has given us to bring profit into His kingdom for our promotion.
 
    God has given every one of us something to trade with. Your spiritual gifts, passion, special abilities, personalities and experiences. Your family or financial experiences and your testimonies are all instruments of trade for God. You can earn greatness in life from all these. This is by solving others problems with your abilities. You have no reason to be poor as a child of God. Giving excuses of not having a job is irrelevant in the kingdom of God. It is called wickedness and laziness (Matthew 25:24-30). Jobs are created to give people income and meet their needs. 
 
    Friend, you have a money machine inside of you. Don't carry it around complaining. Just sit back and think (Luke 14:28). Your profit is to draw others to the kingdom of God. Your profit is to solve problems of people around you. Your profit is to make good income so that you can be a blessing to your family as well as God’s kingdom. Stop being careless in the way you go about your life. God is a business man and has made you to do business (Luke 2:49). Be creative, innovative and profit-oriented, especially for His glory and your reward will be eternal. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to succeed in my business

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.

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.
