PRETENDING

  PRETENDING Proverbs 13:1-10 Devotional:- “There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing; And one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches” (v.7) NKJV One other instrument of the devil to steal people’s joy is to fill their hearts with pretence. To pretend is to behave or talk like, or put yourself in a status, that you are not. It is to use what you don’t have to impress people who do not like you. It is to give people a false impression about you. This always results in a show of shame and sorrow. In the scripture we read today, there is the picture of a poor man who pretended to be rich. Who is he deceiving? Today you will see some people borrowing to spray at a party. Some will arrive at a beer parlour and ask everybody to be served, while at home, there is no food, and children's school fees are yet to be paid. Some are known to be very good outside to their secretaries, receptionists and the like, while at home they don’t have any credibility (Proverbs 12:9, Job 2...

MAN OF PEACE

MAN OF PEACE        

Matt 5:1-12
Devotional:-“Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.” v.9


     For us as God’s kingdom citizen, peaceful life is a commandment (Hebrew 12:14). We are commanded to be at peace with all men. So, to obey or not to obey is a matter of choice. People are bound to provoke us to anger and wrought. Yet, our choice of peace will keep us in the pursuit of peace.

In the scripture we read today, Jesus said those who make peace are blessed. The peacemakers are those who choose to be at peace with others around them. Because of their choice, they go extra mile in creating peace in all their relationship with others. 

In the other side, you will notice people around you who are not interested in peace. They feel that trouble is the best way to claim their right. The bible says, they do not know the way of peace (Isaiah 59:8). The truth is that someone cannot be troublesome and have peace all around. You cannot give what you don’t have. As a God’s kingdom citizen, your choice of peace makes you have peace in all area of your life. Since you have made your choice of peace, it will cost you holding to the prince of peace in all situations (Isaiah 9:6). You need to always think of peace and be at peace with yourself and others (Prov. 23:7). If your heart is full of peace, your expression will always be with peace (Matthew 12:34). And your life will be full of peace. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, ordain me for your peace forever.

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.

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.
