WILLING SACRIFICES

  WILLING SACRIFICES 1 Chronicles 29:1-9 Devotional:‐ “Then the people rejoiced, for they had offered willingly, because with a loyal heart they had offered willingly to the LORD; and King David also rejoiced greatly” (v.9) NKJV Generations of men have always misunderstood giving. To them it looks like they are reducing when God is asking them to give. Also, most people have not come to the understanding that we are creatures made to find fulfilment only when we give. You need to observe that orange is a waste when no one suck it. Also, life will be a waste when it benefits no one. If you really want joy, one of the strongest sources is a sense of fulfilment (sense of success). And this can only come when you have joyfully given unto the Lord or others (2 Timothy 4:6). That is, when you have willingly flowed out to others. The people we read about today were challenged to give willingly to the work of the Lord. And this brought them great joy. See, the greatest moment of your life ...

LIVING ABOVE FEAR

LIVING ABOVE FEAR                    

Matthew 8:23-27
Devotional Verse:- “But He said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm”  (Vs. 26)

    It will be completely impossible to live in the kingdom of God with the spirit of fear (Hebrews 11:6). Fear will only make the power of God at work around you to be withdrawn. The kingdom of God and the spirit of fear cannot work together (II Timothy 1:7). Today a lot of people in church are living with the spirit of fear. That is why we need to learn how to live above fear. 
    It is important for you to know that, fear is a product of the wrong and negative information you have been listening to. Remember, fear is the opposite of faith. Just like faith comes by hearing the word of God, fear comes by hearing the negative word of the devil (Romans 10:17). Faith comes from the word of truth but fear comes from half truth (John 8:44).
 
    To live above fear, we must determine who we want to listen to, the word of God, and other words (Mark 4:24). The other words come from the devil through his suggestions into our minds as we meditate on our challenges or listen to people without the knowledge of God (Psalms 1:1-3). Jesus told the disciples that fear is a product of little faith. Always study and meditate on the word of God and not on your situation. Counter every negative information against your faith with the word of God (Luke 4:4-8). Keep speaking the word of God by faith and you will be able to live above the spirit of fear. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, give me victory over fear always
 
“IF YOU DON’T BUILD UP IN FAITH, FEAR WILL BE A CONDITION”

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.

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.
