  ASK Matthew 7:7-12  Devotional:- “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” (V.11) NKJV For us to be able to enjoy the love of God as believers, we must begin to ask God for our needs. It is the principle of God that you will only have what you ask (Matthew 7:7). If you don’t speak out to ask, you may not be given. This was the problem of the senior brother of the prodigal son (Luke 15:29-32). Everything is for Him, but he had never asked for any. But the younger brother knew how to ask You must also learn how to ask. This is because you will only enjoy what you asked for. We therefore need to learn how to ask. The word ‘ask’ is not the same as beg or loan. The word asks suggests confidence and courage. It means to demand for what you are due for. It means to ask for your rights and your entitlements in God (Galatians 3:13-14). The bible is a book of covenant ...

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

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.
