  PROMISES Isaiah 55:1-13  Devotional:- “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it” (V.11) NKJV One thing that is common with lovers are promises. It is part of what a true lover will want to hear. To a true lover, a promise is like a cheque capable of turning into cash. So when people who love us promise us, we cherish the promises. And when we remember them, it gladdens our heart. We even sometime feel happy enough to share it with other friends. One other terrible thing that is common with people is failing to fulfill promises. That is why it will be unwise to marry someone based on mare promises. These failure in promises of people, in some cases, are due to the inadequacy of human strength, or unforeseen circumstances that can overtake the promises, so the promised often feel deceived. But God is not like man. He will fulfill all that He ha...

DECISION MAKING

DECISION MAKING   

Genesis 13:1- 15
Devotional:-“Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me. If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left" (v.9) NKJV


    Our decisions are what cumulates to determine our result. That is why someone said, our decision determines our destination in life. Decision making is what we use and practice almost every time. If indeed it is important, then we must give ourselves to growing in it. 

The phrase “decision making” means making decisions. This means we need a process to make decisions and not just jump into conclusion. Abraham should have chosen to discipline the servants of Lot and even his own servants or scold Lot himself as a leader, but insight helped him to know the lasting solution to the trouble and he took a decision. Even God was waiting for his decision before blessing him more (Genesis 13:14-17). So, decision delayed is destiny denial. 

To grow in decision demands the following: always consider options, consider the effect of your decision on others either positive or negative, consider the long-term effect of your decision and be sure it does not displease the Lord. Getting use to these processes will give you the skill of making decisions. Each of your decisions will surely prove your level of growth in wisdom. Don't be afraid to make some mistakes. Don’t mind those who laugh at you. Keep learning and growing. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, teach me to make good decisions.

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.

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.
