TIME OF JOY Philippians 4:1-7 Devotional:- “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again l say, rejoice.” (V. 4) KJV One of the most important and most needed virtues of life is joy. When joy is not in place, many things may not be in place. It is joy that eases a man off the tension of life. It is joy that puts men always in health (Proverbs 17:22). It is joy that destroys our doubt. It is the joy in the Lord that increases our faith. It is joy that refreshes our minds and gives us mental richness. There are many more things that joy does in our lives, yet it looks so scarce in the lives of many. This is because there are not many pleasant situations that will help them rejoice. But you, as a believer, should know that you cannot afford to live in sorrow, for without joy, life will be totally in shambles. It is with joy that we can bring our situation back to life and beauty (Isaiah 12:3). It is the strength of life (Nehemiah 8:10). The coming of Jesus to the world brought the joy that would...

SUFFERING

SUFFERING     

Romans 8: 18-27
Devotional:-“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us” (v.18) NKJV


    Spiritual growth occurs when we pass through some measures of suffering. God often allow challenges on our ways to provoke us to seek Him and grow in His grace. Everyone who want to be strong in the Lord must be willing to pass through a time of challenge. They are meant to provoke us to overcome. Until we partake of the suffering of Christ, we may not grow strong enough as Christians (Philippians 3:10).

It's important we know that our challenging season are often product of our weaknesses (James 1: 12-15) When God observe that we are not growing in a particular area of our lives, He then has to chastise us in such area (Hebrews 12:5-11). Instead of some people taking their challenge as a means of a training, they take offense in God and they are defeated by the devil (1 Cor 10:10).

Times of need or challenges are time to check our connection with God, hold on to His word and receive faith to challenge our situations. No one enjoy challenging time but when it is taking in righteousness, it produces the fruits of righteousness (Romans 5: 3-5, James 1:12, Hebrews 12: 11). So, rise up to wait on God in prayers for a word (Rhema) to grow your faith in the Lord to overcome. Challenge your challenges and you shall be victorious. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, strengthen me to overcome my challenges.

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.
