  APPRECIATION Psalm 92:1-10 Devotional:- “It is good to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High” (v.1) NKJV It is in the habit of most people that when they are expecting something from God, they will do everything possible to gain His favour. But as soon as it is done, that thing loses value to them. So, people only value what they don’t have. This sometimes does not make us have a heart of gratitude to God. We will always promise to give thanks, but as soon as we receive our expectations, some will forget to give thanks. Many do not know that the opportunity or privilege that is available to them is what qualifies them for what they are expecting. But they look down on this because their expectations have not been met. Your health is more important than travelling abroad. The breath of life you enjoy is far more valuable than the car or job you are expecting. In fact, this qualifies you for those things. Friend, no matter what God has done for you,...

AUTHENTIC 

Scripture Reading: Luke 16:1-8
Devotional:- “So the master commended the unjust steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light” (V. 8) NKJV


    To be able to overcome financial challenges in our lives, we must learn the act of being authentic. Wrong or insincere spending will always lead to poverty. To be authentic is to live a life that is conforming to the fact on ground. To be authentic is to be factual with ourselves when it comes to the decisions on money and spending. Forcing yourself and borrowing to attain friends’ level is consuming the future.
The Bible tells us to learn from the unfaithful steward, Jesus did not ask us to learn his unfaithfulness but his act of authenticity. He knew he has messed up. He knew there is no one to help him again. This reality made him to practice smart cheating on his boss. We are not to cheat because we are children of God, but we are to be sincere. Borrowing to look big is foolishness, it is self deception. It is borrowing what you don't have, to feed those who don't love you and to earn a fake honour.

There is a need for us to know our level per time. Don't envy anyone. Sit down to see how you will start to grow your finances from your level of income. Start to save, no matter how small. Be sincere to yourself. Don't pretend anymore. Putting your children in a school that you can't afford the school fees but because the children of your friends attends the school is wrong. The time has come to be factual with yourself. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, set me free from the spirit of pleasing people.

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.
