  JOY IN PRAYERS I Samuel 2:1-10 Devotional:- “And Hannah prayed and said: "My heart rejoices in the LORD; My horn is exalted in the LORD. I smile at my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.” (V. 1) NKJV We often fall into depression when we look around us, and all we see are unanswered prayers. It becomes worse when you are despised and mocked for that thing that you are looking up to God for. Hannah was like that, a depressed and unhappy woman. What was Hannah’s secret that made her proclaim to all that “my heart rejoices in the Lord”? 1. She decided to look away from her oppressor 2. She went to God in prayer, pouring her sorrow to God.  3. She made a vow to give God the child 4. She left the presence of God, believing God answers prayer. Hannah made good her vow, and her joy was full. Are you depressed? Pour your heart to God, make a vow to him, and you will see him answer your prayers and your joy will Come. Prayer: Lord, help me to look up to you, not look down o...

DON’T WORRY

Matthew 6:25-34
Devotional Verse:-"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?” (Vs. 25)

 


    Worry is not a lifestyle of God’s kingdom citizen. Our lifestyle as citizens of the kingdom of God is the life of complete trust in God. People worry because of unpredictable help, uncertain hope or unfulfilled promises. When a man is in a time of need, he wants to have a word of assurance of his help. If there is a promise that is lingering, it naturally creates room for worry and tension (Prov. 13:12). 
 
    Worry is a function of faith becoming weary. It is a function of confidence becoming weak. Worry is a sign or feeling of being abandoned. It is simply human to worry but as children of God, we should know that God is not a man (Numbers 23:19). Whenever you are relating with God, you should not make the mistake of thinking that He is a man who will fail.
 
    Whenever God makes promises, He always fulfills them (1 Thessalonian 5:24). When He promises us anything, He expects us to believe Him in faith to obey Him. Our worries will not let God keep us close enough because they are offensive to Him. Thank God! He understands our weaknesses (Hebrews 4:15). We really need to pray to overcome the habit of worrying. We need to cultivate the habit of trusting God by depending on Him. That way, we can easily receive our blessings from Him. You will not fail in Jesus name. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, give me victory over worry. 

“WORRY IS NOT A CONCERN BUT A WEAKNESS”.

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.
