  JOY IN PRAYERS I Samuel 2:1-10 Devotional:- “And Hannah prayed and said: "My heart rejoices in the LORD; My horn is exalted in the LORD. I smile at my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.” (V. 1) NKJV We often fall into depression when we look around us, and all we see are unanswered prayers. It becomes worse when you are despised and mocked for that thing that you are looking up to God for. Hannah was like that, a depressed and unhappy woman. What was Hannah’s secret that made her proclaim to all that “my heart rejoices in the Lord”? 1. She decided to look away from her oppressor 2. She went to God in prayer, pouring her sorrow to God.  3. She made a vow to give God the child 4. She left the presence of God, believing God answers prayer. Hannah made good her vow, and her joy was full. Are you depressed? Pour your heart to God, make a vow to him, and you will see him answer your prayers and your joy will Come. Prayer: Lord, help me to look up to you, not look down o...

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.

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.
