  APPRECIATE HIM Psalms 136:1-9  Devotional:- “Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” (V.1) NKJV Most people have not started to enjoy God to the maximum. because they have not fully imbibed the wisdom of appreciation. No relationship will be able to survive for a long time if the spirit of appreciation is not imbibed. Can you imagine that you plan to buy something for someone you love, though you do not have the means but embarked on saving towards it. At last you successfully get the gift, rapped it beautifully with a rapper and present it to your friend. All that your friend did was to receive it and just say, “That is good,” in a frowning way. And he started talking about something else to make you forget about the gift. You will feel disappointed and almost regret your effort. This and others are what most men do to God. We do not know that it is costing God so much to keep us alive. Can you imagine the challenges mummy went through b...

FEAR GOD 

Scripture Reading: Psalms 25:10-15
Devotional:- “He himself shall dwell in prosperity, And his descendants shall inherit the earth” (V. 13) NKJV


    The fear of the Lord is the foundation for any relationship with God. This is because God is the source of all blessings (James 1:17). It is the blessing of the Lord that makes rich (Proverbs 10:22). It is God that gives power to get wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18). It is God that gives wisdom for wealth (Isaiah 48:17-18). It is God that gives durable riches (Proverbs 8:18). So, as a child of God, we cannot put God aside when we are thinking about money. Unbeliever can make money without God, but we know the end of ungodly riches (Psalms 37:36-37).
The way to access God and all His goodness is to fear the Lord. To fear the Lord is to shun evil (Job 28:28). God and sin are not friendly. The fear of God is wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). To fear the Lord, we must not give ourselves to all kinds of sinful approaches people employ today to make money. We must learn the way of godly wealth. We cannot be living in sin and expect the grace of God to be with us (Romans 6:1). So, in our quest for financial freedom, we must be careful not to be carefree like the worldly people, so that we don't end like them. It is the fear of the Lord that will help us to live in right financial attitude. 

What any of us may be going through is for the purpose of God to help us repent of our wrong attitude and change for better (Deuteronomy 8:2-3). When our attitude is right our finances will be right (Luke 16:10-12). So always keep it in mind that your challenges is for the purpose of developing the right attitude in you (Hebrews 5;8). The earlier we humble ourselves in the fear of God to learn what God is teaching us the better (Psalm 25:9). Peace.

PRAYER: Plant in me the spirit of the fear of the Lord.

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 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.
