  OTHER gods Psalm 16:1-11 Devotional:- “Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take up their names on my lips.” (v.4) NKJV When people are caged in the spirit of idolatry. It will take God to deliver them. This spirit enslaves them in an endless journey of sorrow. They keep moving on in their wicked and painful sacrifices till they enter into their pit of regrets. This is because wickedness makes people seek the devil for a solution. It is either that they want spiritual aid for promotion, money, or power that they are not entitled to. Since they think that God’s way seems to be slow, they then turn to the devil for faster ways and evil results that look temporarily good. Sons of men need to know that the evil of “get it quick at all costs” is foolishness. When a man allows the pressure of life to push him to this end instead of praying and believing God for a way, such a man will open the door for multi...

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.

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.

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.
