  STAND IN 1 Timothy 2:1-7  Devotional:- “Here are my directions: Pray much for others; plead for God's mercy upon them; give thanks for all he is going to do for them.” (v.1) TLB . When God lifts a man, such a man must have enjoyed the intercessory ministry of others. It is part of the principle of God for us to receive (Matthew 7:7). This is because He does not want to break into our free will and damage our choice. He does not want to break into our decision. That is why we say it sometimes when an event happens, "Did God not see it?” Until He is asked to do something, He finds it difficult to do it. Rather, if He wants to promote a man and the man is not aware, He will touch other people to pray for him.  That is why you and I must also be willing to pray and stand in the gap for others. Paul was instructing Timothy and all of us as members of the body of Christ to pray for others. There are so many people around you who need one thing or another. Even though you ca...

MAKING PROFIT

Scripture Reading: Proverbs 14:23-29
Devotional:- “Work brings profit, but mere talk leads to poverty” (V. 23) NLT


    It's amazing to see how many of us don't think about profit at all. The moment some people sees money, they are just okey. They don't think of if the work and the earning is profitable. So many people doing businesses don't know the difference between capital and profit. What some people called salary is never a good income at all. Yet, they keep doing it.

It is important that you know that lack of profit is unrighteousness (Matthew 25:30). The unprofitable servant was to be casted into hell fire. This is actually because ‘lack’ will make many go to hell than many sins. So many are true followers of Christ but are secretly frustrated and hatting God in the secret of their heart. So many terrible atrocity in the society today are perpetrated by people from Christian home with Christian name. These are people who have no clue to how their financial life will bring joy to them. 

Friend, don't let this happen to you. It is important that you look into your business and define your profit. It may be spiritual, moral, relational, but there must also be a financial profit. If anyone is not making profit, God is not to be blamed. It is our carelessness that could turn a business to such.

Sometimes, you are enduring for a time in a particular place, such time is a time of sowing and learning. The truth is that, it should not be forever. Take this to God in prayers. Sit down to think it through. No matter what save 20 percent of your income. Be sure you are making profit. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give the understanding to my profit.

“IT IS YOUR PROFIT THAT DETERMINES YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE”

Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

MASTER’S MINAS

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.
