A SINGING HEART

  A SINGING HEART Ephesians 5:10-20 Devotional:- “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,” (v.19) NKJV Singing always, to some people, is equal to madness. Some believe that if you see a man who has never had a time of sorrow, then he is not a man. According to them, life must have ups and downs. But do you know that God want to simply make your days full of joy and void of sorrow. That is why Christ came to carry our sorrows away. If He has come to carry our sorrow away, then it is wrong to expect yourself to still be living in what is no more available (Isaiah 53:4). What the bible is teaching us today is contrary to what men will teach. God’s word wants us to always sing and be joyful. That is why God’s word says; rejoice in the Lord always and not sometimes (Philippians 4:4). Listen to this, if you want to be joyful and void of sorrow for the rest of your life, you need to pray it into your life. Sing...

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”

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.
