WISE MEN

  WISE MEN Matthew 2:1-12 Devotional:- “And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.” (V. 11) NKJV Up till now, in the minds of some people, givers are foolish. Some believe that people only give to bribe. Others believe that those who give especially in the house of God have been brainwashed and deceived. Others, even Christians, believe that giving is a way to support God’s work, and it is at their discretion, with no one able to push them. They choose when and when not to give and not as anyone instructs them. So, they only give as they like. They don’t listen to the message of pay your tithe or give an offering, or build for God. The truth that this season brought us is that givers are wise men. Someone said givers give because they have faith that they will receive more than they are giving. Givers give ...

WISDOM GROWTH 

Proverbs 4: 1-10
Devotional:0“Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding” (v.7) NKJV


    Life becomes a struggle sooner or later when people grow in other areas of life and are not growing in wisdom. Wisdom is said to be the principal factor of life. The major trouble of life is the fact that those who ought to teach wisdom are only just growing. God has structured it for people to learn wisdom from homes, schools or churches. But wisdom has been scarce because of greed and needs. 

   Since wisdom centers have been diverted, those who want to grow in wisdom must be humble and receive it through searching (Ecclesiastes 1:13). We need wisdom for spiritual strength, business, finances, relationship and provision for progress. Wisdom is the ability to decide and act wisely. 

To grow in wisdom, we must be willing to pay the price of searching for it through the information of the word of God and the one available through the books of the wise people in our different areas of need. Please understand that reading is not equal to wisdom, it is the Lord that gives wisdom. (Proverbs 2:6, Job 32:8) He teaches us through the factors of growth. Understand that a part of these factors are our challenges and our relationship experiences (Proverbs 13:20). Ask Him for wisdom (James 1:5). Don’t live among fools and God will give you wisdom. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, give me wisdom from above.

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.
