  MAKING GOD HAPPY Numbers 6:22-27 Devotional:- “May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you” (V. 25 NLT) One of the goals of our life is to make God happy. This is because the goal of worship is to make God happy. A man can make God happy when he pleases the Lord in all His ways. Job was a man who pleases the Lord in his life time (Job 1:8). Noah was another man who also pleased God in his generation (Genesis 6:8). We are living for the glory of God when we live to make God happy by pleasing the Him. To make God happy, we must love Him supremely (Luke 14:26). No one loved us as God does. He knows what no one knows about us that is why we must love Him more than ALL. It is possible to love God supremely when we relate closely with Him (Hosea 6:6; Matthew 22:37-38; Genesis 6:9). To make God happy, we must learn to trust Him completely. Noah trusted Him and built an arc even on a dry land (Hebrew 11:7). Though, he had never seen rain before yet believed God and trusted Him compl...

MEEKNESS

MEEKNESS       

Psalms 37: 1-11
Devotional Verse:- “But the meek shall inherit the earth, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace” (Vs. 11)

 


    God’s ways are not the same as man’s ways (Isa. 55:8-9). When you understand the value of the blessings of the Lord, you will want to have them at all cost. God’s blessings are without sorrow and that is why the lifestyle of the kingdom is for the people who are meek (Proverbs 10:22).  
    Meekness is an act of being modest, humble and submissive. It is about one been contempt about his situation in life and still been grateful to God. He stays focused in his current level, and still aspires for more of God without seeing God as bad but good. These are people who are willing to learn to grow and not blaming people for their errors. This is a great virtue which God appreciates in His children (1 Pet. 3:4). It was found in Moses whom the Bible described as a man of meekness (Numbers 12:2). You and I need to cultivate the lifestyle of meekness.
 
    In today’s Scripture, we learn that, instead of fretting because of evil doers who are prospering, we should be grateful at our levels and trust God to bless us. The meek will not only last in health, but they will buy the property of the anxious, cheaply.
 
Prayer: Lord, help me to be patient with you in life. 
 
“HE THAT IS NOT GRATEFUL WILL STAGNATE HIS 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.
