GOOD REPORT

  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

CARNAL MIND

CARNAL MIND   

Romans 8: 1-8
Devotional: -“For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” (v.6)


    Many people want to succeed, but they operate a carnal mind. No one can succeed without his mind. There is no success in view for a mad man. It is not that he is not a man; it is only that he is a man without a working mind. He cannot sell or organize a business or employ a staff to work for him and pay. Why? He cannot coordinate himself, a man who can do all that, is not mad. So also, no one can succeed without a good mind.

 A carnal mind is a mind that is not subject to the Spirit or the word of God. He only operates in the old Adamic nature which is the nature of a natural man without Christ. This mind has been wrongly nurtured by the ungodly and sinful way of the world.  Though he may be coming to the church but has not allow the Holy Spirit to govern his heart. Such Christian jest with servants of God because to them, success in life does not demand serious commitment to God. So, he has not seen the need for God in his life. That is why there will be hidden activities of the devil around his life and family and that will only be more revealed in the days of challenges.

To be free from such negative experiences, the person has to separate himself to seek the Lord. He needs a genuine relationship with God by studying the word of God and praying daily. He needs to be committed to the fellowship of children of God for proper nurturing in the Lord. Then he will find the Lord as he seek him with a genuine heart. That is when he can begin to enjoy divine wisdom for his success. Peace

Prayer: Lord, deliver me from carnal mind by your Spirit.

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.

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.
