SERVING WITH JOY

SERVING WITH JOY Deuteronomy 28:47-52 Devotional:- “Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything” (V.47) NKJV A greater percentage of people do not know what stops their glory. They just suddenly discover that things just stop working out for them. In their ignorance, they accuse God and the devil for their predicament. You need to know from now that one of the things responsible is when people don’t serve with joy. People are always in haste to expect reward for their service. When it looks delayed, they begin to serve with grudges in their mind. God told the Israelites that if they did not serve God with a joyful heart, they would serve their enemy. This is actually too grievous, but men are also not always understanding. Something in us always looks so high that we don’t see what the Lord is doing, but we will always see what he has not done. This makes it difficult to serve with joy. Many are wounded by their delayed ex...

STRETCH YOUR ROD

STRETCH YOUR ROD

Exodus 14:13-26
Devotional: -“But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea” (V.16)


    Faith is stretching forth your rod. This rod is the word of God (Psalms 23:4). That is why you should learn to take the word in every situation. For you to have victory, you must fight with something, you don’t fight empty handed. In the kingdom of God, our rod of authority is the word of God (2 Corinthians 10:4-5).

In the scripture we read today. The children of Israel were at a crossroad. The enemy was pursuing them into the sea, and God only instructed Moses to stretch forth the rod in his hand and the sea parted. That rod was the strength of authority, God gave it to Moses when he was called into the ministry (Exodus 4:17).

For us in the New Testament, this rod is the word of God. Take it in every situation and release it for your victory. By the rod, you can part the water of sickness and any form of affliction. Where others are not allowed easy passage, you will be able to pass through freely. And God shall be glorified in your life. Be sure you store the word of God in your heart in readiness for any occasion (Colossians 3:16). And you will always overcome. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me never to live without your rod.

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.

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.
