TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Devotional:- “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (V. 17) NLT  God has a purpose behind every problem. God depends more on circumstances to grow our character than reading the Bible; this is because we have challenging circumstances twenty four seven. The word of God made us to see challenges in our life as normal (1 Peter 4:18). Your deepest expression of worship is mostly in the darkest days. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt and honest prayers to God (James 5:16). God would have kept Jeremiah from the throne to the pit, Joseph from been thrown into the jail, Paul from been shipwrecked or the three Hebrew from been thrown into the fire but he left those problems to himself. You will never know that God is all you need until God is all you have.  Everything that happens to you has spir...

OVERCOMING NEGATIVE THINKING

OVERCOMING NEGATIVE THINKING           

Proverbs 23:1-8
Devotional Verse:- "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. "Eat and drink!" he says to you, But his heart is not with you”  (Vs. 7)

    One of the habits many people battle with in life is the habit of negative thinking. This is an area where the devil has made many slaves. Though they don't like it, they just must make do with it. The moment they are alone, they engage in thoughts that give them a defeated mentality. Thinking actually exercises the mind. That is why it is normal for your mind to think because this is how it (the mind) is exercised.  Whether your thoughts are negative or positive is what you have to work on. 
 
    Positive thinking involves thinking productively. This (positive thinking) is done when we look through our minds for the appropriate approach to embark on our businesses or assignments. This is a good one. Negative thinking on the other hand, comes when we are driven into deep observations of our challenges. This happens often when we allow our minds to be idle.
 
    Our Scripture for today says that our lives move towards the areas of our thoughts. So, you need to overcome negative thinking for a positive life. This can be achieved if you consciously get your mind engaged in positive, possible and progressive assignments either for God or for your business progress. Just as you set time aside to pray, set time aside to engage in productive thinking. Always exercise your mind on the word of God and be available wherever the word of God is shared (Proverbs 13:20). Then you will be mentally strong for a victorious life. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, help me to be committed to progressive thinking
 
“IF YOU CAN WIN IN THE MIND, YOU WILL WIN IN LIFE”

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.

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.
