JOY IN TRUSTING GOD

  JOY IN TRUSTING GOD Proverbs 16:16-26 Devotional:- “He who heeds the word wisely will find good, And whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he” (V. 20) NKJV Living in doubts, fears, and anxieties cause sadness and sorrows in the lives of people. Sometimes it’s so bad that it leads to depression and ill health. One of the reasons for this is often our inability to trust God in times of need. Whenever there is a delay in our expectations, we easily struggle with our relationship with God.  But when a man trusts in the Lord, he will not see the troubles around, he will only see the promises of God that can never fail; and that will bring great joy, peace and happiness. People around him will wonder what is giving him such joy even in the face of imminent challenges. Beloved God loves you. He cares about you. He has promised to help you (Isaiah 41:10). When you allow Him in your heart, you cannot lose your joy (Psalm 16:11). This is because wherever Jesus is dwelling, joy will alw...

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 Fear will only make the power of God at work around you to be withdrawn.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”

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.

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.
