JOY IN TRUSTING GOD

  JOY IN TRUSTING GOD Proverbs 16:16-26 Devotional:- “He who heeds the word wisely will find good, And whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he” (V. 20) NKJV Living in doubts, fears, and anxieties cause sadness and sorrows in the lives of people. Sometimes it’s so bad that it leads to depression and ill health. One of the reasons for this is often our inability to trust God in times of need. Whenever there is a delay in our expectations, we easily struggle with our relationship with God.  But when a man trusts in the Lord, he will not see the troubles around, he will only see the promises of God that can never fail; and that will bring great joy, peace and happiness. People around him will wonder what is giving him such joy even in the face of imminent challenges. Beloved God loves you. He cares about you. He has promised to help you (Isaiah 41:10). When you allow Him in your heart, you cannot lose your joy (Psalm 16:11). This is because wherever Jesus is dwelling, joy will alw...

HUNGRY FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS

HUNGRY FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS           

Luke 1:48-55
Devotional Verse: -“He has filled the hungry with good things, And the rich He has sent away empty” (Vs. 53).

 

    It is the nature of the Lord to satisfy those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. When anyone is thirsty for God, he/she will certainly find Him. The Lord says that when we seek Him, we shall find Him (Deuteronomy 4:29). This attitude of being hungry for God always qualifies us for His blessings.
 
    In the Scripture we read today, Mary the mother of Jesus who was filled with the Holy Spirit spoke by the spirit. She testified by the Holy Spirit that God had filled her hunger with good things. For us to find the best of God in this kingdom, you and I have to be thirsty for God. To be thirsty for God is to long for His presence and be in His will.
 
    You live in righteousness by standing right with God. By doing the will of God with passion, Jesus said that there will be a filling (Matt. 5:6). As we seek the kingdom of God first and its righteousness, all other blessings which we desire shall be added to our lives (Matthew 6:33). We hunger for righteousness by acknowledging His will and obeying Him in everything (Prov. 3:5-6). When we do this, we will live a life of wonders on earth. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, help me to be hungry for righteousness 
 
“IT IS WHAT YOU ARE THIRSTY FOR THAT WILL FILL YOUR 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.

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.
