MEDITATION Psalm 1:1-6 Devotional:- “But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night..” (v.2) NKJV God’s word describes someone blessed because he/she meditates on the word of God, day and night. How can this be? The word of God is the source of inspiration that strengthens us to perform (John 1:1-3). The Bible told us that God is a spirit; therefore, meditating on the word of God is drawing on the strength of the spirit (John 6:63).

NO DIVORCE
Mark 10:1-12
Devotional Verse: -“Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate” (Vs. 9)
In the original plan of God for mankind, there is no plan for divorce. This is because for many, divorce is an optional route to avoid the blessing of growing maturely in marriage. One of the purposes of marriage is to involve a man and a woman in an acceptable intimate relationship (Genesis 2:24). Sincerely, because relationships can sometimes be very demanding and challenging, anyone in it would sometimes want to opt out. That is why God made intimacy necessary for people, except in cases of fornication.
We all graduate from schools but we do not graduate from the school of marriage. The wedding day is the graduation day from the school of bachelorhood but there is no end in the school of marriage. This is because marriage is an intimate relationship from where we can truly learn. So, God did not make it for anyone to escape.
The reason God said that He hates divorce is that some people often use it as a means to avoid facing the challenges of marriage (Malachi 2:16). Divorce freedom mentality also gives room for fornication. So, please don’t have a plan B while in your marriage (Matthew 19:8-9). Plan to stay in your marriage for life. That is when you can be the best and also get the best out of it (Ecclesiastes 2:9). Your marriage will be peaceful in Jesus name. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to have a successful marriage.
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 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.
YOU HAVE TO FIGHT Deuteronomy 20:1-4 Devotional:- “When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for the LORD your God is with you, who brought you up from the land of Egypt” (V. 4) NKJV God’s children must come to realize that our victory has been purchased by by the blood of Jesus, but we have to fight to establish it in our lives. If you have to face the devil, it will be impossible to defeat him. he was in a greater glory before than you are now. He has been in a battle game before the creation of man (Revelation 12:7-8). He knows far more than we do.
