  PEACE John 14:19-31  Devotional:- “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (27) NKJV Peace has been the desire of every nation and tribe. Even the United Nations (UN) is set up for peacemaking in the world. But the more the world seeks peace, the less they have it. This is because man cannot give peace. Until the world embraces the Prince of Peace, her peace may not be established. Though we are in the world, we are not of the world. The love of Christ for us has given us peace. He is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). The world does not know this because they are not of his own. Peace is a product of the love of God for you. If you don’t have it, receive it from today. This peace begins in our heart, and it goes on to affect everything around us. Since the world does not have it within, they cannot manifest it. Jesus said, He has given you His peace. So, you have it fro...

WISE SPENDING

WISE SPENDING 

Scripture Reading: Luke 15:11-15 
Devotional:- “But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want” (V.20 NKJV)


     A major factor that separates the rich from the poor is wise spending. The way some people spend money is a pointer to the fact that they can never be rich. What a poor man will consider small and be willing to throw around is what makes the rich to be rich. The poverty mentality makes some people to give themselves to pleasure (Proverbs 21:17). The devil always help people to define pleasure in a wrong way, just to waste their financial future.

The prodigal son do not know that unwise spending can squander any amount of money. Some ignorantly feel that some amount of money can't finish. Many people have this wrong mentality that money will continue to come as it has been coming. Only to be disappointed and be telling the story of better yesterday. Some wrongly spend to show off and please friends who don't like them, who will even call them fools behind (Proverbs 21:17).

Friend, stop behaving like the prodigal son. His life is enough lesson for all. It is important we acquire what will make life comfortable but living to pursue just this things is a poverty mentality. Our spending should not majorly be on liabilities but on assets. That is what will bring more income for us. Discipline yourself to choose right spending. Bad friends and pleasure will always make a man poor (Proverbs 13:20). Be warned. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, deliver me from bad influences on my finances.

“BAD COMPANY AND PLEASURE WILL MAKE A MAN POOR SOONER OR LATER, NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE HAS”

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.
