  PROMISES Isaiah 55:1-13  Devotional:- “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it” (V.11) NKJV One thing that is common with lovers are promises. It is part of what a true lover will want to hear. To a true lover, a promise is like a cheque capable of turning into cash. So when people who love us promise us, we cherish the promises. And when we remember them, it gladdens our heart. We even sometime feel happy enough to share it with other friends. One other terrible thing that is common with people is failing to fulfill promises. That is why it will be unwise to marry someone based on mare promises. These failure in promises of people, in some cases, are due to the inadequacy of human strength, or unforeseen circumstances that can overtake the promises, so the promised often feel deceived. But God is not like man. He will fulfill all that He ha...

JOSEPH

JOSEPH   

Genesis 41: 37-49
Devotional: -“Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.” (v.39)


    Joseph was also a man who demonstrated the wisdom of God in the land of Egypt. He was able to rise from prison to the palace just by demonstrating the divine wisdom. Not because he was better, but because he has the Holy Spirit like you and me. He demonstrated his gift with the help of the Holy Spirit. Pharaoh said, can he find someone like this with the Spirit of God? (Genesis 41:38).

 He also said can we find a man as wise and discerning like Joseph? That is the gift of discernment (Gen 41:33; 1 Corinthians 12:10). Which means with the help of the Holy Spirit any child of God operating in the wisdom of God can achieve what Joseph achieved. 

That is why each of us must learn to use our mind. You must understand that life will offer a man nothing when he does not use his brain positively. Thank God for prayers that employ forces of the angels of God to work for us, but each of us should be able to discern the problem in our land and prescribe its solution. Manage businesses to grow by wisdom of self-discipline with strategic thinking. By so doing, we take our place on the earth for the glory of God. You will surely rise up in Jesus name. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to take my place by the help of the Holy Spirit.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
