DELAY

  DELAY Proverbs 13:10-20 Devotional:- “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life” (v.12) NKJV Another strong factor militating against the joy of some people today is delay. This is an experience of expectation proving longer in coming than expected. It makes a man afraid or uncertain of what the future holds. It often weakens the faith of people and makes them feel disappointed. The word of God in our scripture today says it brings weariness to the soul. We must realise that weariness given by delay is a hindrance to our receiving from God. The more we allow weariness, the more we may be delayed. It is a trick of the enemy to keep postponing our miracles. That is why the word of God says the just shall live by faith (Romans 1:17). It is also a threat to our joy. The enemy knows that joy produces our physical, mental and spiritual strength, so he always want us to celebrate sorrow (Nehemiah 8:10). Friend, you must therefore be wise to know...

DOUBT

DOUBT

JAMES 1:5-8 
“But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind” (Vs. 6)



   To be doubtful is to be double-minded about God. To have a double mind is to believe God 50/50 and not totally. This is trying to plant something else in one's mind while pretending to trust in God. Doubt is a product of fear and it is the opposite of faith (2 Tim. 1:6). Without faith, no man will be able to receive from God (Hebrews 11:6). We are usually in fear because we do not know God and His word. It is our contact with the word of God that builds faith in us (Rom. 10:17).
    A doubtful Christian is a double-minded person. The Bible says that such people will receive nothing. That is why instead of doubting God as a child of God, you should build up your faith continually. You can do this by regularly studying the word of God, listening to messages of faith and reading books written by men of God to inspire faith in you.

    Every time you ask anything in faith, you commit God to answering your prayers (Mark 9:23) which He is always glad to do. Henceforth, your prayers will always be answered in Jesus' Name. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, teach me to always ask and receive.

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.

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.
