  STRENGTH Nehemiah 8:4-12 Devotional:- “Then he said to them, "Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength”” (v. 10) NKJV As emotional beings, it is important that we come to the understanding that when we are in joy, our strength will be doubled. is joy that promotes both mental and physical strength. No matter how physically strong a man is, when he is in sorrow, he is weak; he can be defeated. Sorrow decomposes the cells in our muscles from being able to function together. When God’s people were given the grace to rebuild the falling wall of Jerusalem, they all came together in the strength of the Lord to build. During this time, the law of the Lord was brought and was read to them, and they now discovered what brought their ruin. This caused so much sorrow, and the people began to weep. But Nehemiah, a man of understanding who knew...

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 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.
