MAKING MONEY

MAKING MONEY Genesis 47:13-23 Devotional:- “And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house“ (V. 14) NKJV      Believers in this part of the world have long been in darkness over the importance of money making. But recently God made us know that we can prosper. However, as we come to greater maturity through the light of the gospel, we must move from the level of expecting someone to give us to the level of growing in wisdom to make money.

FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD

FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD

Romans 5:1-11
DEVOTIONAL – “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life” (Vs. 10) 


    As a kingdom citizen please known that God wants to be your best friend. This is because intimacy is part of your act of worship. It is true that God is our maker and redeemer yet he wants to be our friend. Remember we were made to live continually in God’s presence but it is sin that makes us loose that [Gen 3, Roman 3:23]

 In our scripture for today we saw that it was grace through the sacrifice of the cross that gives us access to friendship with God [2 Corinthians 5:18]. Our friendship with God does not mean casual acquaintance but close and trusted relationships just like the best man in a wedding. In the palace the servant must keep their distance from the king but there are some people in circle of intimate and trusted friends with the king. They enjoy free and direct access to the king [John 15:15]. To become the best friend of God you must have constant time of conversation with God. To pray without season means conversing with God every time and everywhere. Words like I’m depending on you, I belong to you, help me Lord, gives you continual conversation with God also meditations on His words consistently.

To grow your friendship with God, you must choose to be honest with God, tell him when you are happy or not [Job 42:7]. Genuine friendship is built on disclosure [Ps 142:2-3]. To grow your friendship with God you must choose to obey God in faith [John 15:14], you must choose to value what God value and you must desire friendship with God more than anything else [Ps 27:4, Ps 63:3, Phi. 3:10]. Keep your choice of friendship with God even in pain. Remember pain is the fuel of passion. Take your pain as a wakeup call to love God and not as punishment. Peace!

PRAYER – Lord, help me to always be close to you.

‘’YOU ARE CLOSE TO GOD AS MUCH AS YOU CHOOSE TO ‘’

ONLY THE VICTORS Revelation 21:1-8 Devotional:- “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son” (v. 7) NKJV      In this part of the world, many are not so used to taking responsibility over challenges. Instead of been proactive to foresee and prevent issues, people are used to looking out for whom to blame and who should help out (Proverbs 14:23). It is vivid that we are in a challenging season. It is also clear that we are drawing closer to the end of the age.

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.

ALTERNATIVES

ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV      It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.
