  PRAISE THROUGH Psalm 149:1-9 Devotional:- “Let them praise His name with the dance let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp” (V.3) The end of every year is always known for jubilation and celebration. But men often lose focus of it’s purpose to ordinary celebration and even Sometimes to their own harm. But to you this time should be celebrated with understanding. It should be that you should look back and see how much God has done for you. Do not allow the enemy to make you see what is not working but what has wonderfully worked for you in the year. How God has preserve you and your children and relation from the first to the last month. So dance not in celebration without understanding but in celebration with appreciation.  You need to know that you are not only to appreciate Him for what He has done but for what He shall do. See, the devil never wanted you to dance this time because he knows that what you start the year with will fill the year for you. So no ...

TIMES OF TRIAL

TIMES OF TRIAL           

Hebrews 12:3-11
Devotional Verse:-“Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it” (Vs.11)

 

    Every child of God must be ready for a time of test. It is one of the habits of God to allow His children to be tested once in a while (Genesis 22:1, Job 1:10-12). No one loves to be tested, but tests are the best ways to ascertain the genuineness of the heart and strength of man. A time of test is a time when God is attempting to check on our level of growth in His will.   
    In today’s Scripture, we see that God’s word encourages us not to resist a time of temptation but to stand firm in the will of God. Even in our test, the Bible says that we must not yield to sin (Hebrews 12:4). As God’s children, we will go through all kinds of temptations but we must be firm enough to pass every test (Hebrews 4:15). We pass these tests when we resist the devil and refuse to follow his suggestions (Matthew 4:4). It is important for you to know that the purpose of temptation is for promotion (James 1:12, Hebrews 12:11). Your test could be either on finance, relationship, church family commitments, prayer life, service to God, instruction to give etc.
 
    However, in every test, learn to always ask for the assistance of the Holy Spirit who would not allow you to be tempted above what you can bear (1 Cor. 10:13). He will make a way for you. You may be going through a tough time now, don’t give in or give up. Hold on to God who will at the end of the day give you a victory and lifting! Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, uphold me in trying times in Jesus’ name.

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.
