  CELEBRATION 2 Chronicles 30:21-27 Devotional:- “So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem” (v.26) NKJV When we make ourselves available for the service of the Lord, we plug our lives into joy. This is because we are actually created to serve the Lord (Revelation 4:11). And when anyone finds himself doing what he is created to do, he finds fulfilment. The children of Israel in the time of Hezekiah, the king, gathered together to celebrate the feast of Passover. This was one of the feasts God commanded. This celebration is an opportunity to serve the Lord. They came together to yield in obedience to God’s instruction, and this produced great joy among them. Some cooking, some cleaning and others involved in other things just to make the feast successful. See, you need to know that you are not just created to go to school, work, earn, build a house, buy cars, have a wife, childre...

SAVING CULTURE

Scripture Reading: Proverbs 13:22-25
Devotional:- “Much food is in the fallow ground of the poor, And for lack of justice there is waste” (V. 23) NKJV


    It is important that you realize the importance of cultivating the habit or lifestyle of savings. It is an attitude that we must consciously cultivate. If not, people will be poor forever. Saving culture is a singular factor that can turn a man's financial status around for good. God makes us as a creature that can form habit and this is one of the major habit you must labour hard to form. If you don’t form habits for financial freedom, you are likely living with habits of financial failure. 

We are able to form habits when our understanding is opened to the importance of doing something to achieve something. Some people inherited the financial habits from their family lineage. Such family will forever be able to amass wealth. Some people because of lack of savings culture will never handle volume of money in their lite time. The moment the parents don’t have this habits, it becomes difficult for the children to have it. The way out of poverty is to see the importance and discipline oneself at all cost to cultivate this saving culture. Saving is the act of setting aside a percentage of your income, to keep it with discipline never to touch it till maturity. The enemy of the saving culture is pleasure and fun mentality, living to please people and comparing yourself with others (Proverbs 21:17; 2 Corinthians 10:12). 

Friend, it is not how much you earn now that determines your financial future, it is how much you can conserve and invest. Discipline yourself to start separating at least 20% of your income for saving and investment. It can be daily, weekly or monthly. There is a need to discipline yourself never to touch your savings until it becomes a bulk to be invested. Then you can by it walk your way out of lack forever by the wisdom of savings. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace and enablement to discipline myself for a better tomorrow.

“IF YOU CAN'T SAVE AND INVEST, THERE WILL BE NO FINANCIAL FUTURE”

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.
