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).

NOT OFFENDED
LUKE 7:18-30
DEVOTIONAL: “And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me." (Vs. 23)
It is reality today to say that many supposed Christians are already feeling offended by God. On Sunday morning, if you go out when people are in churches, you will discover that many Jeremiahs and Joshuas are at home because they have stopped going to church. Though, they were born in the church, they have stopped attending church services because they are angry with God.
Some people who have waited on the Lord to have solutions to some problems in their lives often withdraw from the fellowship of believers because they feel God has not given them answers to their prayers. This will never bring solution to any situation of man.
Friend, the reason this happens to some of us is that we have not yet completely dedicated our lives to God. People really need to know that God is greater than all men and our needs. Anyone who truly wants to follow God must be ready to go through a time of test (Deut. 8: 2-3). This is a time when it looks as though God has forgotten us, when we are faced with challenges of life. This is just a period when our determination to follow God is tested.
No matter what you may be going through, devote yourself completely to God. This is not because you need anything from Him, but because He is your God. If you stick to God because you want Him to meet your needs, you will soon be offended in Him. Decide to follow Him for who He is and He will always answer your prayers. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, help me not to be offended in you.
“THE EVIDENCE OF DEDICATION IS THE WILLINGNESS TO SERVE AND WAIT ON God, NO MATTER WHAT”.
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.
