THE PAST

  THE PAST Isaiah 43:8-21 Devotional:- “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.” (v.18) NKJV God, who gives us a memory, want us to use our past experiences to help us make quality decisions in the future, but the past is always the enemy of the future for many. If you don’t know how to manage your memory system of the past, it is capable of standing against your success in the future. As emotional beings, we are sometimes faced with the challenges of memories of our past experiences, our errors and failures. You will observe that at every point of decision-making to progress, the enemy will bring back to your memory the past experiences of your failure. This is just to bring fear to your heart and make you doubt the possibility of your success, so you could lose your joy. The scripture we read today instructs us to let go of the past. God is starting a brand-new thing with you. He is giving you new experiences of success and breakthrough. You need to lea...

LOOKING UNTO JESUS

LOOKING UNTO JESUS

Hebrews 12:1-8
Dev:- looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (V. 2)


    As a people consecrated to the Lord, we must learn to look only unto Jesus. Due to the hard situations of the perilous times that we are, so many people have turned begging, tricking people to get money, making excessive profits, loading contracts or cost of supply and the like. So many ungodly profit is going on today.

If you and I are waiting for the coming of the Lord, we must learn to look unto Jesus in times of our needs. We must not make men and materials our focus but Christ. Remember the word of God places anyone who trust in man under a curse (Jeremiah 17:5-6). So each of us must learn to look unto God and take responsibility to labour by faith for our needs to be met.

To look unto God means we must put our hope and trust in Him. We must turn to Him in prayers whenever we have a need. We need to learn how to hear the Lord and receive answers to our prayers, which come inform of divine direction. God speaks to our heart inform of thoughts. So when we focus on Him as we pray, we should be attentive to receive His answers. When we are attentive to hear Him, the first thought is usually from the Lord. Just check if it agrees with the word of God and you have peace in your heart (Psalm 85:8-9). His direction will always lead us into responsibility to profitable labour (Isaiah 48:17-18). Peace!

Prayer: Lord, teach me to look unto you for my needs

“YOU CANNOT LOOK UNTO GOD AND MAN AT THE SAME TIME”

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.
