APPRECIATION

  APPRECIATION Psalm 92:1-10 Devotional:- “It is good to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High” (v.1) NKJV It is in the habit of most people that when they are expecting something from God, they will do everything possible to gain His favour. But as soon as it is done, that thing loses value to them. So, people only value what they don’t have. This sometimes does not make us have a heart of gratitude to God. We will always promise to give thanks, but as soon as we receive our expectations, some will forget to give thanks. Many do not know that the opportunity or privilege that is available to them is what qualifies them for what they are expecting. But they look down on this because their expectations have not been met. Your health is more important than travelling abroad. The breath of life you enjoy is far more valuable than the car or job you are expecting. In fact, this qualifies you for those things. Friend, no matter what God has done for you,...

BEEN BETTER

BEEN BETTER    

Daniel 1: 8-21
Devotional:-“And in all matters of wisdom and understanding about which the king examined them, he found them ten timesbetter than all the magicians and astrologers who were in all his realm” (v.20) NKJV


  To be better than others in life is a function of growth. It is growing better that makes a life better. We have placed so much importance on learning academically but we must be careful not to miss out in applying the knowledge for our growth. As a child of God, you need to always apply the word of God to your life to grow up and be better. 

  Daniel and his three Hebrew friends became better because they gave themselves to learning the wisdom of God by relating with God (Daniel 1:3-4). The rest of the royal seed there were only eating and drinking. That will only make the body look good. It takes growth to live in the will, the way, wisdom of the Lord to be better and stand out in this wicked world. 

Friend, stop following God religiously. Christianity is not a religion, but a way of life. It is the life of Christ. Until you start to live by the word of God, you may not be better or preferred in this world. This is because the word makes us stand out as light to the darkness of the world (Matthew 5: 14-16). For our life to be better, we need to live by the word of God and we shall be a star in the world. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to build up and be preferred in life 

"IF YOUR LIFE WILL BE BETTER, THEN RELATE MORE WITH GOD"

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.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14).

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.
