WAITING ON THE LORD

WAITING ON THE LORD 2 Samuel 5:1-10 Devotional:- “David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years” (v.4) NKJV One of the good virtues of God we must always appreciate is His faithfulness. God is not a man that will lie; whatever He has said in His word, He is able to do and He shall do. You can always plug yourself into His promises as much as you work in His covenants. I always tell people never to think God’s word is written only to some specific persons we hear or read about in the Bible. The word of God is the standard practice and programme of God. They were only privileged to be the ones to receive the word at their time, but God is still the same, and so is His word. In claiming the word of God, you must learn to be able to patiently wait. People who will retain their joy must add this virtue to their life (Hebrews 6:12). Our scripture today told us of the installation of David as king, but that was a promise he received from God when he was about 1...

KINGDOM FRUITS

KINGDOM FRUITS           

Luke 6:43-45
Devotional Verse:- “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks”  (Vs. 45)

    In the kingdom of God, our understanding should be on the fact that our hearts produce the fruits we bear in life. So many people find all manner of limitation in their lives. The usual thing is that,  man always wants to look for someone or something to put the  blame on. The most blamed person is the devil and this has been the story from the beginning (Genesis 3:12-13). The truth is that, excuses do not change anything.
 
    Jesus taught us in our Scripture for today that the fruits we bear in life are directly connected to the quality of our hearts. Don't ever blame anyone for your situation. Blame game makes us irresponsible. If you observe that the fruits you bear are not what you would like to bear, work on your heart. So, you can change your heart to change your life. 
 
    To bring a change to your heart, you will need to acquire new information about life. If you find yourself low in life, look for better higher information. If you are sick, look for information on health. If you are financially backward, look for information on finance. If your marriage is not sweet, all you need is to build your heart on one. This will change your thinking, beliefs, habits and attitudes. Jesus said that the fruits of your life are from your heart. What a day! Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, you have given me the key of change. Help me to use it.
 
“IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE WAY YOUR LIFE IS GOING, CHANGE IT”

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.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). 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.

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.
