WAITING ON THE LORD

WAITING ON THE LORD 2 Samuel 5:1-10 Devotional:- “David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years” (v.4) NKJV One of the good virtues of God we must always appreciate is His faithfulness. God is not a man that will lie; whatever He has said in His word, He is able to do and He shall do. You can always plug yourself into His promises as much as you work in His covenants. I always tell people never to think God’s word is written only to some specific persons we hear or read about in the Bible. The word of God is the standard practice and programme of God. They were only privileged to be the ones to receive the word at their time, but God is still the same, and so is His word. In claiming the word of God, you must learn to be able to patiently wait. People who will retain their joy must add this virtue to their life (Hebrews 6:12). Our scripture today told us of the installation of David as king, but that was a promise he received from God when he was about 1...

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.

Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11).

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.
