GOOD SPOUSE

  GOOD SPOUSE 1 Corinthians 7:1-5 Devotional:- “Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband” (v.3) NKJV One of the greatest places where God expects love to be demonstrated is in the family, and most strongly between the husband and wife. It is a pity that this generation does not have many spouses enjoying true love in their relationships. Many have turned the home into a children-producing factory, and there is nothing strong that ties them together. And today, men can no longer understand the purpose of God for instituting marriage. The scripture we read today gives us some great instruction for our distinction in this world of destruction. God’s word says, "Each should render to one another due affection." Affection is love. God expects you to love each other (1 John 4:7). It is as you love each other that the atmosphere is created for God to mend and amend things in the house. Understand that the word 'love'...

FILLED WITH WISDOM

FILLED WITH WISDOM     

Deuteronomy 34: 1-12
Devotional:-“Now Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him; so the children of Israel heeded him, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses” (v.9) NKJV


    A man is said to be growing when he is filled with wisdom (Luke 2:40). This is a normal demonstration of growth. A major trouble in the life of most people today is the inability to grow in wisdom. It becomes more challenging when they cannot locate someone to counsel them in the way of wisdom. Since most people are not growing in wisdom, they cannot raise others in wisdom. Because, no man can give what he does not have. When parents are not filled with wisdom, the children cannot. When teachers do not possess wisdom, the students cannot.

    We read in the testimony of Joshua today that he was filled with wisdom. So also is Jesus, Solomon and the Apostles. Wisdom is evidential in taking wise action. It may not be easy to grow wisdom just by learning or reading about it. It is better given by following a wise master (Proverbs 13:20). Man is slow in learning; we are people who need to fail to succeed. That is why we need someone to show us, instruct us and correct us. 

    Joshua related closely with Moses, to be filled with wisdom, the laying of hands was not all it takes. That is an impartation. There is a need to humble yourself to relate with the wise and you will manifest the wisdom of God (Proverbs 13:20). This simply means, the kind of people you are relating with, will go a long way to determine who you will be in life. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord impart your wisdom into my life.

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.
