  JOY IN PRAYERS I Samuel 2:1-10 Devotional:- “And Hannah prayed and said: "My heart rejoices in the LORD; My horn is exalted in the LORD. I smile at my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.” (V. 1) NKJV We often fall into depression when we look around us, and all we see are unanswered prayers. It becomes worse when you are despised and mocked for that thing that you are looking up to God for. Hannah was like that, a depressed and unhappy woman. What was Hannah’s secret that made her proclaim to all that “my heart rejoices in the Lord”? 1. She decided to look away from her oppressor 2. She went to God in prayer, pouring her sorrow to God.  3. She made a vow to give God the child 4. She left the presence of God, believing God answers prayer. Hannah made good her vow, and her joy was full. Are you depressed? Pour your heart to God, make a vow to him, and you will see him answer your prayers and your joy will Come. Prayer: Lord, help me to look up to you, not look down o...

SEEKING THE WORD

John 30:24-31
Devotional:- “Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen ME, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” v29 (NKJV)


    Faith is seeing what God is saying. Man is a spirit and he has a soul and dwell in the body (1 Thessalonian 5:23). Because man is a spirit, this makes it possible for man to relate with God who is a Spirit (John 4:24). There are therefore some spiritual features in us that we must retain to use for our advantage. Part of it is our ability to imagine or see the invisible in our mind.

Faith is spiritual, it is not bold face, it is not mere confession of the Bible. Faith grows in us when we see what the Bible is saying. If we only read the Bible, we may not receive faith, but when we can see, we will not doubt (Jeremiah 1:11-12). Thomas almost became a lost disciple till he saw Jesus.

Friend, when you study the word of God, learn to turn the scripture to picture through your imagination, then faith will grow in you. Whenever you are in the house of God see the presence of God there (Matthew 18:20). See the angels of God (Hebrews 12:22). Then your faith will grow to receive. When you pray for a sick person in the name of Jesus, see the sickness leaving (Mark 16:17). See your blessing come (Mark 11:24) Then you are set for greatness in God. Peace!

Prayer: - Lord, open my eyes to always see wonderful things in your word.

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.

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.
