HOUSE HIM

  HOUSE HIM Proverbs 23:19-28  Devotional:- “My son, give me your heart, And let your eyes observe my ways.” (V. 26) NKJV No man can actually have the best of God until you are really ready to house Him. As a man that married a woman will have to house her so also in Christ, though He is our husband yet we have to house Him (Ephesians 5:28-29). The scripture we read today is the wise counsel of God to us as His son, saying “… son give me your heart.” This is because until you give your heart to a lover you cannot totally have the enjoyment of the fill of His love. You will observe that when a man is truly in love, his entire mind is rapped into the love for his beloved. He cannot help longing for him. Some will even have the picture with them always and anywhere. Just to see it and feel loved. A true lover will always long for their beloved. He does not stay late or long outside because the beloved is in the house waiting. Friend, do you really love God. Does His love fill you...

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”

Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
