  PROMISES Isaiah 55:1-13  Devotional:- “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it” (V.11) NKJV One thing that is common with lovers are promises. It is part of what a true lover will want to hear. To a true lover, a promise is like a cheque capable of turning into cash. So when people who love us promise us, we cherish the promises. And when we remember them, it gladdens our heart. We even sometime feel happy enough to share it with other friends. One other terrible thing that is common with people is failing to fulfill promises. That is why it will be unwise to marry someone based on mare promises. These failure in promises of people, in some cases, are due to the inadequacy of human strength, or unforeseen circumstances that can overtake the promises, so the promised often feel deceived. But God is not like man. He will fulfill all that He ha...

MADE TO GLORIFY GOD

Revelation 4:1-11
Devotional “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created” (V11)


    The first major purpose of your life is to bring glory to God [Isaiah 43:21]. That is why it is built into your sub-conscious mind to worship. When you understand the place of worshipping God in all things, you will no longer feel insignificant. Bringing glory and pleasure to God is what we called worship. God is always happy with those who worship Him [Psalm 147:11]. Please note that anything you do to bring glory, honour or pleasure to God is an act of worship. We are wired by God to worship. If you don’t worship God, you will worship yourself.

We often see some things as worship and others as none. We think we go to worship service but worship is more than just been in the church. It is a life style. Worship is more than music or a particular style of music. To some people when the music is slow down, it is worship and when it is fast, it is praises. But worship is far more than music. Worship has nothing to do with style or volume or speed of a song. God loves all kind of music because, He invented it all through us [Philippians 2:13]. You may not like all the songs but God does. The moment it is sang in Spirit and truth [John 4:23-24].

You also need to know that worship is not for our benefit or enjoyment but it belongs to God. That is why we don’t worship for our pleasure but for His pleasure (Revelation 4:11). Worship is your life. It is not just church service or songs, it is all you do. That is why we are told to worship God continually [Psalm 113:3, 34:1]. Every activities can be transformed to worship, when you do it for the praise, honour and glory of God [1 Cor. 10:31]. This is when you do it with an intention to bring glory to God. This happen in your thinking as you do anything you are doing. This is when you do all things as though for God and for His Glory [Colossians 3:23]. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, give me a heart of continual worship

“WORSHIP MAKES YOU FULFILL YOUR FIRST PURPOSE ON EARTH”

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.

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.
