  JOY IN PRAYERS I Samuel 2:1-10 Devotional:- “And Hannah prayed and said: "My heart rejoices in the LORD; My horn is exalted in the LORD. I smile at my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.” (V. 1) NKJV We often fall into depression when we look around us, and all we see are unanswered prayers. It becomes worse when you are despised and mocked for that thing that you are looking up to God for. Hannah was like that, a depressed and unhappy woman. What was Hannah’s secret that made her proclaim to all that “my heart rejoices in the Lord”? 1. She decided to look away from her oppressor 2. She went to God in prayer, pouring her sorrow to God.  3. She made a vow to give God the child 4. She left the presence of God, believing God answers prayer. Hannah made good her vow, and her joy was full. Are you depressed? Pour your heart to God, make a vow to him, and you will see him answer your prayers and your joy will Come. Prayer: Lord, help me to look up to you, not look down o...

NEED FOR WISDOM.

NEED FOR WISDOM.   

Proverbs 9: 1-12
Devotional: -“If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, And if you scoff, you will bear it alone." (V. 12)


    Life without wisdom is life without meaning. So many faithful followers of Christ today are just suffering for nothing. They have prayed and fasted but lack good result and it is simply because wisdom is lacking in their lives. The biggest problem of many people is that, they don't know that they lack it. And it is the work of the devil to darken the mind of people in this world (Ephesians 4: 18). God's word gives us the task of asking wisdom from God but some don't even know what wisdom is all about (James 1: 5). 

The book of wisdom says, if you are wise, you are wise for yourself. This is because we are the one who need wisdom. So, if you look for it, it is for your gain. God is the giver of wisdom and from Him comes understanding (Ecclesiastes 2:26). If anyone does not take time to seek wisdom and get it, he/she will have himself/herself to blame. Wisdom is the fear of God. It is the fear of God to depart from evil (Job 28:28).

Without wisdom, no man can truly succeed. If you tend to correct some people, they will resist you (Proverbs 4:7-8). The evil of foolishness is the devil making man feels "They want to deceive you ooo". As we grow in life, we tend to realize many things we have done wrongly. Let us give attention to searching the wisdom of God for living. Then, we shall find the way of God to advance and succeed. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, give me a heart for wisdom.

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.
