TIME OF CELEBRATION

  TIME OF CELEBRATION  2 Samuel 6:11-23 Devotional:- “Then David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod” (V. 14) NKJV As much as this season is tagged with much celebration, the enemy often tries to see how he could poison the joy of many people to remove them from the list of people who will celebrate. It will be wisdom for you to know that happiness and sorrow are a choice. I will advise you to choose to rejoice in hope and leave sorrow for the enemy (Romans 5:22). In the scripture we read today, David and all the people were in a mood of celebration because of the advent of the ark of the Lord. But a lady could not see what was worth celebrating, and she took offence at David’s elegant celebration. And she remains barren till her death. Friend, if the coming of the ark of the Lord is sufficient to lose celebration, how much more the coming of Christ, the Son of God. Don’t let the devil push you to sorrow corner in a time like this.

LOVING AND GIVING

LOVING AND GIVING               

John 3:13-21
Devotional Verse:- “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (Vs.16)

    Every child of God is saved from the Kingdom of the devil to the Kingdom of God (Col. 1:13). Understanding this puts you at an advantage over the devices of the devil.  Very many people in church today are not aware of this truth. This is the truth that sets you free (John 8:32). This is also the reason you need to give yourself to studying the word of God so as to understand the nature of the kingdom of God.
 
    The Kingdom of God is a kingdom characterized by loving and giving. God Himself is love personified (1 John 4:7-8). That is why everyone who is born of Him lives in the nature of love (1 Cor. 13:1-13). God’s evidence of love is giving. That is why our true love is demonstrated in giving. God’s kingdom is a kingdom of giving and receiving. Sowing and reaping.
 
    For you to enjoy the blessing of God, you must commit yourself to giving in obedience to God’s word. Paying your tithes (10% of all your income) and offerings, taking care of your parents and family, men of God, the poor, giving towards the kingdom project, etc. enlist you among the blessed of the Lord. These are what qualifies you for your harvest. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, give me the heart of a giver
 
“YOU CAN GIVE WITHOUT LOVING BUT YOU CANNOT LOVE WITHOUT GIVING”

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.
