  TIME OF CELEBRATION  2 Samuel 6:11-23 Devotional:- “Then David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod” (V. 14) NKJV As much as this season is tagged with much celebration, the enemy often tries to see how he could poison the joy of many people to remove them from the list of people who will celebrate. It will be wisdom for you to know that happiness and sorrow are a choice. I will advise you to choose to rejoice in hope and leave sorrow for the enemy (Romans 5:22). In the scripture we read today, David and all the people were in a mood of celebration because of the advent of the ark of the Lord. But a lady could not see what was worth celebrating, and she took offence at David’s elegant celebration. And she remains barren till her death. Friend, if the coming of the ark of the Lord is sufficient to lose celebration, how much more the coming of Christ, the Son of God. Don’t let the devil push you to sorrow corner in a time like this.

PURSUIT OF VISION

PURSUIT OF VISION

Genesis 12:1-9
Devotional:- “And he moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; there he built an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the Lord” (V. 8)


    Faith is pursuing your vision. It is directing your energy or passion in the direction of your conviction. It is putting in your best to pursue a goal. Remember, faith does not make things easy but it makes it possible. The reason people fail is that they pursue their goal and soon give up. Faith is staying there till it works (Hebrews 6:12).

In our scripture today, the Bible show us the life of Abraham who received a promise from God and moved by faith. Because of this act of faith, today, we have a nation called Israel after the name of Abraham’s descendants.

Friend, don’t just pursue, but pursue by faith. Faith is when you hear from God and act in obedience. You must wait on Him to receive a word. Then you will have the assurance that your pursuit can not fail. This will make you put your entire life into it. Most people move from vision to dreams and to another idea. The reason why Africa is not developing is that most people are not willing to spend their life pursuing a certain goal. Most people’s goals is money, so they move about. Be planted in your pursuit when it is commanded by God. Then your life will be a life worth living. Peace! 

Prayer: Lord, help me to be focused in life

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.

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.
