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...

THE SPIRIT OF GOD

THE SPIRIT OF  GOD

Genesis 41:25-41
Devotional: "And Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?"V38


    We often make mistake of thinking the baptism of the Holy Spirit is for the church alone. God has given us the Holy Spirit that we might carry Him around to manifest His glory and power through us especially in our work and business places. The Holy Spirit is not given to us to sit down. That will be of no use. It is for us to work and men to marvel at the work of our hand.

It is important we realize that the evil work in our world today is by men of the evil Spirit and we should work by the Spirit of God to manifest the glory of God. We should stop looking only for money but the glory and blessings of God through our work. Yes, we should see to it that our work brings money for us, but there is more to it. By the Spirit of God, Joseph control the economy and production of Egypt. By the Spirit of the Lord, Daniel was involved and he excel in the politics of Babylon (Daniel 5:11-12) By the Spirit of the Lord, Bezalel was able to construct the articles of the temple of God (Exodus 31:3)

Friend, God gave you the Holy Spirit that He might work through you in that office and business (Act 10:38). Arise and work. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, inspire me by the Holy Spirit to excel at work 

“THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A SUPERIOR SPIRIT, BE SUPERIOR“

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.
