  DON’T BLAME GOD James 1:12-20 Devotional:- “And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, "God is tempting me." God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else” (V. 13) NLT Today, there is so much confusion the enemy places in the heart of men to make them feel that God hate them. So, when people are under the pressure of the flesh to sin, they say “God is tempting me”. When people are weak, they are going to face temptation through their flesh. It wil be wrong to say God is tempting you with sickness or troubles. Yes, God knows about it but He only allows it when we have been warned repeatedly and we refuse to change. He disciplines, but it is necessary for us to know that God is not the author of evil, that is the work of the devil (Hebrews 12:6; Matthew 4:24).  There is a difference between a test and temptation. To test means to examine or observe if someone is capable of doing something. To tempt means to entice or lure someone into doing some...

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 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.
