  WHO CARES I Peter 5:5-11 Devotional:- “casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” (V. 7) NKJV A man could feel so lonely, especially when life looks average. This is when a man may not be having nor be lacking. At times, it is not too bad, but not really good. When you have to manage between the two sides. Such time, a man could feel deserted. This is because people could think you are hiding out or pretending. They’ve never seen you coming to beg, nor are you a rich man. But it is only God and you who know what exactly you are going through. At such a period, people come to you to ask you. And since they are not your God, you cannot be discussing your plight with them. Even when you do the little within your strength, they feel you are bad. And then in your secret you think, who cares? Friend, I like to remind you of God’s love letter to you. And in the scripture we read today, He said, He cares. We must learn to cast our cares on Him. Our cares are our needs and our ...

PRESENCE OF GOD

PRESENCE OF GOD

Psalms 16:1-11
Devotional:- “I have set the LORD always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved” (V. 8)


    Another factor of encouragement is the presence of the Lord. When you are sure that the great God is with you in your journey, then you will be courageous. God has to encourage Jacob and assure him of His presence (Genesis 28:15). He did the same with Joshua (Joshua 1:5). God did this with many successful leaders in the word of God. You also need the same.

The psalmist said I have set the Lord always before me so that I will not be moved. This is a vital lesson for each of us. To set the Lord before you is to imagine Him with you as the word of God has said it (Joshua 1:5; Matthew 28:20). David said he will not be afraid because the Lord is with Him (Psalm 23:4).

Friend, if God be for you, no one can be against you (Romans 8:31). The world will tell us we are on our own. But the word of God always assure us of the presence of God (John 14:18). It is therefore important you learn to turn this scriptures to picture and always see the Lord with you. That way, you will always be encouraged. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, let your presence make a difference in my life

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). 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 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 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.
