JOY IN TRUSTING GOD

  JOY IN TRUSTING GOD Proverbs 16:16-26 Devotional:- “He who heeds the word wisely will find good, And whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he” (V. 20) NKJV Living in doubts, fears, and anxieties cause sadness and sorrows in the lives of people. Sometimes it’s so bad that it leads to depression and ill health. One of the reasons for this is often our inability to trust God in times of need. Whenever there is a delay in our expectations, we easily struggle with our relationship with God.  But when a man trusts in the Lord, he will not see the troubles around, he will only see the promises of God that can never fail; and that will bring great joy, peace and happiness. People around him will wonder what is giving him such joy even in the face of imminent challenges. Beloved God loves you. He cares about you. He has promised to help you (Isaiah 41:10). When you allow Him in your heart, you cannot lose your joy (Psalm 16:11). This is because wherever Jesus is dwelling, joy will alw...

STRONG IN THE SPIRIT   

Luke 1:67-80
Devotional:-“So the child grew and became strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel” (v.80) NKJV


  We are growing when we are gaining strength. This is when we develop the ability to handle what we are not able to handle before. As citizens of the kingdom of God, we are instructed to be strong in the Lord (Ephesians 6: 10-12). This is because there are things to be contended for and there are forces to be contended with. (Ephesians 6: 12, 1 Peter 5:8-9).

 Physical strength comes by eating and exercising. So also, is spiritual strength. God’s word says, John the Baptist was growing strong in the spirit. To be strong in the spirit, we must learn to eat the food of the spirit which is the word of God (Luke 4:4). To eat the food of this world, we chew and swallow them into our stomach for digestion, so also to eat the food of the spirit, we must chew by meditating over the word till it enters our heart and we digest it into our body.

    If anyone is weak spiritually, the devil will outsmart his life with troubles and he will be a victim (Proverbs 24:10). That is why you and I must put in our best to be strong in the spirit, so that we have the ability in the Holy Spirit to overcome all the schemes of the devil. You are winning. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, give me a heart for your word.

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.

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.
