PARENT OF THE GREAT

  PARENT OF THE GREAT Exodus 2:1-10 Devotional:- “So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months..” (V. 2) NKJV. Anything you see that is great in life was incubated by some great people. If you can see anyone becoming great in life, you can easily trace the history back to the parents. I found something funny in this world: everyone wants their children to be great, but they don't bother to raise them for this purpose. People are wise enough to raise chickens for different purposes – some for laying eggs and some for consumption – but few are raising children with the purpose of leadership. We often expect the children to just grow and be great by luck or chance. If you observe great people in the Word of God, you can easily trace it back to their parents. This you can see in the lives of Isaiah, Joseph, David and others. I think it will be funny to sow maize and expect to reap yams. Moses, as we read today, was born...

WISDOM

WISDOM     

Luke 15: 11-24
Devotional: - "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.” (v.20)


    Wisdom is a step forward from understanding. Wisdom comes naturally when a man is of understanding. Wisdom is defined to be wise actions for wise result. The reality of life is that, when you come across knowledge and you meditate through questions to get understanding of it, you will find yourself acting on it. The reasons you will act on it is that you are interested in the knowledge and that pushes you to dig deeper into understanding. 

The man we read about today was in a problem and because this problem was becoming painful, it got him thinking. Friend if you can think enough, wisdom will bring you to the solution of your situation. Knowledge told him, “But you have a father", understanding help him see how he can go back to the father. By wisdom, he took step. The result is the restoration testimony he had. 

The world is waiting for your rising, but, it will be by the wisdom of God. People rise when their light comes (Isaiah 60:1). If there will be no action added to your thinking, it means your understanding is not strong enough. God has given you the mind of Christ, so, you can solve any problem (1 Cor 2: 16). Joseph rose to rulership by wisdom of God. God knows you are capable of overcoming and that is the reason He allows the challenges on your ways (1 Corinthians 10:13). Arise and move forward in Jesus name. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, give me wisdom for my rising

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.
