  SETBACK Genesis 39:10-21 Devotional:- “Then Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison” (v.20) NKJV Most people do not yet understand that what we call a setback, a lot of time is a set-up to set us to our top. Setback, as viewed by people, is demotion, but it is rather an opportunity to retreat and re-fire for greater victory. When the purpose of a thing is not known, men are bound to abuse it. Today, we read about Joseph, who was thanking God for being promoted from a slave to a house overseer. He always tried to put his best into his assignment, and by this, he always had joy. At this time, the enemy wanted to damage his testimony by the temptation of sin, but he stood his ground for God (2 Timothy 2:22). But then he faced something like a demotion to prison. This looks like an act of wickedness from God that he was trying to please, but Joseph knew that there is a price for righteo...

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

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.
