SETBACK

  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...

SAVED TO WORK

SAVED TO WORK

Ephesians 2:1-10
Devotional: "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (V. 10)


    The first church experienced great power of God. The Holy Spirit worked mighty things around them. But they so much enjoyed the fellowship of each other and were staying regularly together, eat together and possibly lived together. Not too long, God had to orchestrate persecution against them for the purpose of scattering them (James 1:1; Genesis 11:8). They had to work through many places and take the good news to the end of the earth through their good works. 

As believer today, we should realize that we are saved, recreated in Christ Jesus for the good work for which Christ saved us. True believers are the ones who are manifesting the glory of God through their lives and day to day activities.

Friend, the salvation of your soul has brought you out of darkness to stop representing darkness, but light in your deeds not just in claim (1 Peter 2:9) God expect you to work in His will that you may be the manifestation of His beauty and glory. So many things God has provided that it is as we work it out that it will manifest (Hebrew 11:40). It's time to rise and take over that office and business by working in divine instructions. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, let your good work begin in my life from now.

“ONLY THOSE WHO CAN WORK TO PROVE THEIR SALVATION WILL NOT LOSE IT”

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.
