GOOD REPORT

  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

FACTORS OF GROWTH

FACTORS OF GROWTH 

Deuteronomy 8:1-10
Dev. “So He humble you, allow you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your father’s know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord” (VS. 3)


    Spiritual growth is the process of replacing lives with the truth (John 17:17). To become like Jesus we must fill our lives with his word. (2 Timothy 3:17). The word of God is powerful, so when God speak things change. To be a healthy disciple of Jesus you must feed on the word of God. This is what it mean to abide in Christ and Christ in you. This is by remaining in the word of God and obeying the word.

To abide in God’s word you must accept the authority of the word of God (John 8:31). In other words the Bible must become the standard of your life. You must make the word of God the compass for your life. The word must become the counsel you listen to for wise decision and what you use in evaluating all you do. Many of our troubles occur because we base our choices on unreliable authorities, culture (everyone is doing it), traditions (we have always been doing it), reasoning (it seems legal or reasonable) or emotion (It just feels good) (Proverbs 30:5).

To abide in the word, we must assimilate the truth. This is by accepting the word personally, read the bible, research and study the Bible. Remembering the word to always apply it in all situations and meditate or reflect on it. To be the doer of the word is to be acting out the word you meditated on. Been part of a small Bible study group may be your best opportunity to grow. Always obey God’s word. Peace!

PRAYER; Lord, plant the love to abide in your word into my hearth.
