GOOD WILL

  GOOD WILL Luke 2:8-14 Devotional:- “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” (V. 14) NKJV A great blessing of God to humanity at the birth of Christ is goodwill. A nation without it is completely under bondage. They cannot claim, nor ask, nor can they have anything from the Lord except by the common grace (Matthew 5:25). This is what the sons of men are before the coming of the Messiah. Men have been living under the pressure and the punishment of sin and the law. Men were governed spiritually by the law they were never capable of obeying. When Jesus came, then came the time of grace. This brought us into the season of the goodwill of God (Ephesians 2:8). Will is what every father writes to give the right of inheritance to each of the children. Before Christ, God’s will was not approachable for men. It was not favorable for a natural man. But God gave us another will in Christ Jesus. This is what the angel was announcing in verse 14. We refer to it t...

WISE AGREEMENT

WISE AGREEMENT

Matthew 5:25-26
Devotional Verse:-“Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison” (Vs. 25)

 


    God’s word advises us to be wiser than the enemy especially when we are dealing with an unbeliever. An unbeliever can be bent on doing evil or carrying out revenge. When they demonstrate what they are, we must be willing to demonstrate the wisdom of God because we are children of God.
 
    In our scripture, Jesus says, if anyone takes you up on a matter because he feels that you have offended him, there is no need arguing. If you are truly guilty and asked to pay back, do not hesitate. If you feel you are not guilty, then seek counsel. Be what you are in God and they are just what they are in their father (John 8:44). Jesus is not asking us to give bribes but He is saying that instead of going to court with them, we should agree with them by paying them whatever they are due. This is better than going with them to court where most of the judges are unbelievers. The Bible condemns the act of believers going to the court with another believer (1 Corinthians 6:1-8). 
 
    This does not mean that we should let people cheat us but when they do, we should learn to “let go and let God” (1 Corinthians 6:7). As you do, God will fight for you in such matter and you will keep rising in Jesus name. Peace!
 
Prayers: I will not be an object of intimidation and ridicule in Jesus name.

“WISDOM IS PROFITABLE TO DIRECT”.

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.
