  JOYFUL COMPANION  Luke 1:37-45 Devotional:- “For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy” (v.44) NKJV We must know that sooner or later, we will always look like the people we are moving with. God’s word says, he that walks with the wise shall be wise and the companion of fools shall be destroyed (Proverbs 13:20). This means that what we gain from the surroundings of our associates has a very strong influence upon our life. If a man walks with people who don’t know or appreciate joy, he may not also experience joy. We read about the visitation of Mary to Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. Since two of them carry unique children of divine significance, they both have the Spirit of God in them. This brings about a joyful effect. As soon as Elizabeth heard the voice of Mary, the baby leaped for joy. You therefore need to understand that the richest place you need to seek to be is where God’s children are gathe...

JOY.    

Proverbs 3: 13-18
Devotional:-“Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding;” (v.13)


    One of the results of wisdom is joy. As short as these three letter words, as valuable as they are to all men on earth. The presence of joy is the evidence of the presence of God and all good things of life (Psalm 16:11). That is why wherever joy is, affliction is not commonly found in the place. Sorrow which is the opposite of joy is what breaks down anything but joy builds a life of goodness. 

One of the virtues that produce joy is wisdom. The scripture we read today says happy is the man that found wisdom. This is because wisdom is strength to produce good result in life. So, when wisdom is found, joyful experience is inevitable. There is no one with good result that will not be joyful.

Friend, even though we are always tempted to play fast game, we should remain in the part of wisdom. This will give us result with peace of mind and joy in our heart. The Bible says, wisdom is more profitable than silver and gold. They come with the blessings of the Lord without sorrow (Proverbs 10:22) She offer long life, riches, honor and guide in the part of peace (Proverbs 3:15-17, Psalm 23:2). Some have traded their joy with foolishness, but be wise to abide in the wisdom of God and eternal joy will be your heritage. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to abide in your wisdom.

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 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.
