GOOD REPORT

  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

RESTING IN HIS PROMISES

RESTING IN HIS PROMISES

Mark 4:35-41
Devotional:- “But he said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” (v. 40)


    The evidence of faith is rest. Fear builds tension in us. It is because of fear and doubt that man has invented hypertension and high blood pressure. They were not part of the creature of God but of man through sin. Fear always break the courage of men to act out for result. As potent as the creation of man, as latent a destiny can be without faith. Circumstances will always look threatening and only the Spirit of God can breathe on us to act positively against negative circumstances (Job 32:8). 

In the scripture we read today, God’s word taught us about a result of faith. Faith is actually resting confidently in the midst of storm. It is not getting disturbed by any warring situation (Hebrew 4:2-3). The disciple of Jesus was faced with a stormy situation and was tensed in fear. Jesus was also in the same boat and was resting. This is because He knows that the great I am that is with Him will never allow the storm to swallow Him.

There is a labor of faith to be able to enter into the rest of faith (Hebrews 4:11-12). This is by resting upon the promises of the word of God. The reason we don’t do this is because we cannot see the forces of God that are working for us (2 Kings 6:15-17) Life achievement become easy when you learn to rest on the promises of the word of God. Labour to locate the promises of the word of God for you and enter into the rest of faith that God might resume (Exodus 14:14) Peace! 

Prayer: - Lord help me to take my rest in your word

“UNTIL YOU CAN REST, GOD CANNOT RESUME”

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.
