  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...

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.

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.
