  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.

CONFIDENCE 

Scripture Reading: Psalm 18:27-39
Devotional:- “For by You I can run against a troop, By my God I can leap over a wall” (V. 29)


   Confidence and courage are what bounce back into our heart whenever we are encouraged. Confidence is the act of gaining courage based on the assurance of the backing of God on our lives. As God’s kingdom citizen, we must know the way of our confidence. It is when we meditate on the testimony of the word and the power of God that we can gain confidence in Him.

In the scripture we read today, David was sharing of what he was able to do by the confidence he has in God. All you need to do in other to gain confidence is to meditate and put your trust in the word of God.

For you to be able to put on confidence in the word and the power of God, just call to mind what the Lord has done for you in redemption by Christ Jesus. He died to redeem you from all form of troubles of life. Situation may prove to you that you are nobody but the word of God says the blood that saves you is precious (1 Peter 1:18-19). Never forget that the Lord is with you (Joshua 1:5). Stop putting your confidence in your ability but in your ability in God. And you will bounce back to courage and confidence in Jesus name. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to gain back my confidence in you

“SEEING JESUS BEHIND YOU GIVES YOU CONFIDENCE”

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 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.
