  REMOVE SORROW Ecclesiastes 11:7-10 Devotional:- “Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, And put away evil from your flesh, For childhood and youth are vanity” (v.10) NKJV One of the strongest weapons the devil uses against our lives is sorrow. The most common problem most people have is sustaining their joy. The truth is that no one can succeed with sorrow. See, it is the goal of the devil to keep you in sorrow. When you are sad, he celebrates. This is because he knows the effect of sorrow, which most of us are unaware of. Many things encourage sorrow in the human life; some of such are disappointment and discouragement. Some people ignorantly have sorrow because of their bitterness toward everyone, even against God and themselves. But you need to know that when you are sorrowful, you can't relate with God for solution. In sorrow, a man’s mental, spiritual and physical systems are broken down (Proverbs 15:13).

STEADFASTNESS

STEADFASTNESS     

Act 2:40-47
Devotional:-“And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers” (vs. 42) NKJV 


    Today, our decisions to follow the Lord is greatly challenged by temptations of different types. The devil has so much polluted the world that it is so easy to follow the way of sin and unrighteousness. That is why to be an ordinary Christian today is to be no Christian at all. 

Those who have chosen to be disciples of Christ must be steadfast in following the master. To be steadfast is to be resolute to stand in the will of God even if nobody does. To be steadfast is to be firm no matter the intimidation of friends. It is to make up your mind to follow the Lord notwithstanding of any situation or circumstances.

Friend your decision to be a disciple of Jesus will be tested by people with negative influences. Be ready to be dishonored to bring honour to the Lord. You must have a strong resolution to remain in Christ whatever the case may be. Remember, Jesus has promised to help us by the Holy Spirit that is in us. Stand firm in the word of God and you will be a true disciple of Christ (Ephesians 6:13-14). Peace!

Prayer: Lord, strengthen me in the inner man to always stand for you

“HE THAT IS NOT STANDING FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS FALLING IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS”

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.
