  ASK Matthew 7:7-12  Devotional:- “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” (V.11) NKJV For us to be able to enjoy the love of God as believers, we must begin to ask God for our needs. It is the principle of God that you will only have what you ask (Matthew 7:7). If you don’t speak out to ask, you may not be given. This was the problem of the senior brother of the prodigal son (Luke 15:29-32). Everything is for Him, but he had never asked for any. But the younger brother knew how to ask You must also learn how to ask. This is because you will only enjoy what you asked for. We therefore need to learn how to ask. The word ‘ask’ is not the same as beg or loan. The word asks suggests confidence and courage. It means to demand for what you are due for. It means to ask for your rights and your entitlements in God (Galatians 3:13-14). The bible is a book of covenant ...

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE     

1Samuel 30: 1-10
Devotional:-“Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices and wept, until they had no more power to weep” (v. 4) NKJV


    Every man or woman who want to progress in life must take it upon themselves to grow emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is our ability to manage our emotion not to break down or even react to people negatively because of a particular event or experience. 

We saw today how David broke down in tears as a leader with all his people. When people are emotionally weak, you need to allow them to weep and exhaust themselves like David did. There was a time that Jesus also wept (John 11:35). It is not outrightly wrong to weep when you can’t help the situation, but there is a need to grow above such emotional weakness.

To grow emotionally, is to be sincere with your weakness and strength. Stop pretending that you are mister know it all. You must not over judge yourself in any issue. You are not Mr. or Mrs. mistakes. There is no one who cannot make mistakes. Always exercise self-control in any occasion. Learn to be self-motivated in any situation. Don’t wait for anyone to encourage you before you encourage yourself and others around you (1 Samuel 30:6). Make a decision to be free to relate without fear. That way you will discover that you are not the only weak one. Everyone is growing, don’t over celebrate any problem or progress. Pray for the grace to forgive instantly and you will be strong emotionally. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, make me a growing person.

"WHEN YOU REFUSE TO BREAKDOWN, YOU WILL ALWAYS BUILD-UP"

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). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
