  PROGRESS Luke 10:17-24 Devotional:- “In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight” (v.21) NKJV A very strong factor of joy is good result. This is attaining a goal you have set ahead of yourself. Anyone who sets and achieves a goal naturally experiences a kind of joy, and this is why you must be an achiever too. The Bible talks about fullness of joy in God’s presence (Psalm 16:11). One of the factors responsible for good result is the fulfilment of God’s word. The word of God says there is a great joy in heaven over a sinner that repents (Luke 15:7). And since you are a child of God, your life must also experience the joy of achievement. When the disciples of Jesus returned to Him, it was with joy because they had achieved their goal as instructed by the Lord; the bible says Jesus also ...

BABIES AND MEN

BABIES AND MEN 

1Corinthians 13:8-13
Devotional:-“When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things” (v.11) NKJV

   Everyone including Jesus was born as a baby. But we are not expected to remain a baby for the rest of our lives. To remain a baby is a curse and a trap of the devil. It is funny sometimes to see an adult behaving like baby and this disturbs us. It is therefore important to know what the attitude and attribute of a baby is and that of an adult.

A baby always misplaces priorities. In other words, he does not know what is really important. This means, he can play away with less important things at the expense of important thing. He lacks self-control, He can’t organize himself and discipline himself to walk in his schedule. Adult will have to help in controlling him always. Weak in appetite, emotion, sex, food, leisure and not knowing when to stop.  

A baby has an instant gratification and not able to resist the urge to do what feel good at the moment. A baby is self-centered and incapable of considering others.Adult are people who could consider others alongside with themselves. Adult can exercise self-control and not wait to be rebuked or disgraced. They are patience and can endure in situations. They don’t break down because of pain but use it to build up in strength to overcome. Adult disciplined himself to go through temporary pain for permanent solution. They give consideration to the future as they go through today. They grow in principles of wisdom. Friends, measure your life with this information to know where you are for your growth. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to grow up as an adult.

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.
