  HIS PRESENCE Isaiah 43:1-7 Devotional:- “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. (v.2) NKJV I have observed that every one becomes more confident when they find strong companies around them. That is why we feel more relaxed when the house is full of people. So when you have people around you, you tend to feel secured. Good company tends to also give us a sense of success and security. If you have to do something alone you could have a little doubt but when you are two, you will always be happy to carry out the assignment together and enjoy doing it. Good company will ease your service tension. God’s word says two are better than one for they will have a better reward for their labour (Ecclesiastes 4:9). If you have to trek a distance alone you may not have enjoyed it as having someone to share together as you go. You will not ...

GENTLENESS.

GENTLENESS.    

Matthew 11:25-30
DEVOTIONAL:-“Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”  v.29


    One of the attitude of greatness is gentleness. It is an act of self-controlled. It is manifested in a man who has learn when to be quiet and when to talk. A gentle nature is a nature of a rich and mature people (I Peter 3:4). The word of God says, it is very precious in the sight of God. This wise virtue is cultivated by choice.

In our scripture today, Jesus says I am gentle and lowly in heart and when you walk with me you will find rest for your soul. When a man chooses to operate with a gentle Spirit, relating with him makes you learn so much. This is because this virtue will make him to only respond at the right time with wisdom. The people operating the opposite of a gentle Spirit are the proud, loud and always offensive in relationship (Proverbs 10:21, Eccl. 5:3, 7).

Friend, a loud and proud person will lose many precious friends. Make a choice to cultivate a quiet and gentle spirit. This is not been moody, but been in control of your tongue. Not just talking anyhow, but only in wisdom. Observe that gentleness is part of the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22). This means, it can be cultivated by the help of the Holy Spirit. It can be produced in the fear of the Lord and in a heart that is humble before the Lord. A gentle man will always be preserved in many situations. Peace 

PRAYER: Lord, help me to choose to grow a gentle Spirit.

“A GENTLE MAN KNOWS WHEN TO TALK AND WHEN NOT“

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 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.
