ENVY NO ONE

  ENVY NO ONE Genesis 37:1-11  Devotional:- “And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind.” (V.11) NKJV For a man to enjoy God’s love being wonderfully demonstrated to him, he must constitute a habit of not envying anyone. This is the reason why many cannot demonstrate genuine love to others. It is time you begin to understand that your value is not comparable. Envy is an emotional act people put on when they feel someone is better than them. Envy is always the mother of negative jealousy. It breeds bitterness and pushes people to commit all kinds of crimes. Some people’s reason for being armed robbers is that since they could not make it legitimately, they must go and get it by force from the hands of those who have made it. The truth is that there is no one who cannot make it. The problem with Joseph’s brother was that they did not know the truth of the word of God. As children of Abraham, all of them are already pronounced as successful in life. Josep...

GOOD CHANGE   

Mathew 12: 33-37
Devotional:-"Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit” (v.33) NKJV


We are growing when we have positive changes in our lives.  Growth is when we get better in our approach in handling the things of life. If a man use to tell lies and he stop telling lies, it's because he has grown up strong enough to overcome the attitude of lying. The reason many lives are not changing today is because, they are not growing. Change in any area of our life is a function of growth. 

God's word instructs us to be transformed. This means, to change in shape or form. i.e., whatever we are today we should grow and be better. Some things we cannot do before, we can do them now, this is growth. 

Change therefore happens by the changes in our mindset i.e., the way we think. The labour of growth is to change the way we think. This can only happen when we learn to think differently. In other word, we were taught to think the way we think and our life produces result accordingly. (Proverbs 23:7). So, if our result is going to be different, then we must learn the new things in the word of God. When the new things we are learning is reshaping our thinking, this is when we are growing for our change. It is therefore learning through meditation that produces growth (Psalm 1:1-3). Receive grace. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, put my feet on the path of positive change.

"ONLY THE CHANGE THAT COMES THROUGH GROWTH IS STABLE".

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.
