  DON’T BLAME GOD James 1:12-20 Devotional:- “And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, "God is tempting me." God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else” (V. 13) NLT Today, there is so much confusion the enemy places in the heart of men to make them feel that God hate them. So, when people are under the pressure of the flesh to sin, they say “God is tempting me”. When people are weak, they are going to face temptation through their flesh. It wil be wrong to say God is tempting you with sickness or troubles. Yes, God knows about it but He only allows it when we have been warned repeatedly and we refuse to change. He disciplines, but it is necessary for us to know that God is not the author of evil, that is the work of the devil (Hebrews 12:6; Matthew 4:24).  There is a difference between a test and temptation. To test means to examine or observe if someone is capable of doing something. To tempt means to entice or lure someone into doing some...

WORK SMART

Scripture Reading: Psalms 127:1-5
Devotional:- “Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain” (V. 1) NKJV


    Working is a major task that God has given to everyone on the earth (Ecclesiastes 3:10). Working is a medium of releasing the energy in us to achieve something. Work is a demonstration of our gifts and talent. Work is what we employ to solve all problems. Work makes us earn value before people.
It is important to know that you can earn more value not only by working hard but by working smart. To work smart is to labour with thinking. It is to learn how to identify your goal in all you do and employ your thinking to achieve it faster and better. Working smart is said to be identifying what move you forward and mastering it. Working smart make you work to achieve more than others at a given time.

Let us therefore give ourselves to working smart to earn more in life. To work smart may include you developing more skill to improve your output. To work smart, we may need to get more exposed on our work and businesses to become more productive. Working smart includes not just working for a pay but employing your money to also work for you. This is by investing it in a profitable venture. Be careful not to keep relying on your income or salary today. It can stop when you don’t expect. Seek for where to invest. Stop been afraid to take a risk (Ecclesiastes 11:4). Throw your bread on many waters and not in one place, then you will find it later (Ecclesiastes 11:1; 5-6). It could involve connection with people that could make you better. Your future shall be better than today in Jesus name. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, make me a smart worker in my life.

“THE SMARTER YOU CAN WORK, THE BETTER YOU WILL BE”

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.
