MY REFUGE

  MY REFUGE Psalms 46:1-7 Devotional:- "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (V. 1) It is always very easy for men to say God is not good to them when they have a pressing need. But if you observe it carefully, wisdom will let you always appreciate Him. It is not every one that began this year that is still alive now. Many were faced with challenges greater than themselves and were swallowed up. If you listen to the reasons for their falls, they are not too great. The truth is that you also have passed through challenges greater than theirs, but God was your refuge. Anytime you run to Him, you will find a hiding place in Him. Even when it looks like the situation wants to swallow you, you still find strength for help in God. Do you know that you have been enjoying His refuge not because you are better but because He loves you? No matter what happens, do not be afraid, your lover is your refuge. All you need to do is keep drinking from the river from the...

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

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

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.
