TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Devotional:- “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (V. 17) NLT  God has a purpose behind every problem. God depends more on circumstances to grow our character than reading the Bible; this is because we have challenging circumstances twenty four seven. The word of God made us to see challenges in our life as normal (1 Peter 4:18). Your deepest expression of worship is mostly in the darkest days. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt and honest prayers to God (James 5:16). God would have kept Jeremiah from the throne to the pit, Joseph from been thrown into the jail, Paul from been shipwrecked or the three Hebrew from been thrown into the fire but he left those problems to himself. You will never know that God is all you need until God is all you have.  Everything that happens to you has spir...

PEACE    

PROVERBS 3:1-4 
Devotional:- “For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you.” (v. 2)  


    The commandment of God is the wisdom of God (Deut. 4:6). When we obey the Lord, we are working in His wisdom (Matt. 7:24). When we are working in the wisdom of God, we are working in the ways of peace. The world does not know peace today because a natural man does not want to live in the will of God (Isaiah 59:8).

In our scripture for today, the word of God says, when we keep walking in his commandments, we will find the peace of God all around our lives. This is because His commandments are the ways of peace. His word will not command us to practice evil that will put us in any form of trouble. His ways are the ways of peace (Proverbs 3:17). 

That is why you and I must align our life with the word and the instruction of the Lord. That is when we will not join the wicked for their sorrow. That is when we will not implicate our life with the afflictions of this world. God's ways are pleasant and all His path are of peace (Proverbs 3:17). Walking in the way of God will make us walk in His wisdom for our peace and joy with length of days. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, help me to always choose your ways for my peace. 

"GOD'S WISDOM WAYS ARE PEACEFUL"

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.
