  SETBACK Genesis 39:10-21 Devotional:- “Then Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison” (v.20) NKJV Most people do not yet understand that what we call a setback, a lot of time is a set-up to set us to our top. Setback, as viewed by people, is demotion, but it is rather an opportunity to retreat and re-fire for greater victory. When the purpose of a thing is not known, men are bound to abuse it. Today, we read about Joseph, who was thanking God for being promoted from a slave to a house overseer. He always tried to put his best into his assignment, and by this, he always had joy. At this time, the enemy wanted to damage his testimony by the temptation of sin, but he stood his ground for God (2 Timothy 2:22). But then he faced something like a demotion to prison. This looks like an act of wickedness from God that he was trying to please, but Joseph knew that there is a price for righteo...

FLEE

Scripture Reading: 1 Timothy 6:6-16  
Devotional:- “But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness” (V. 11) NKJV


    For everyone who wants to be a vessel unto honour, the word of God told us what we must flee from. There are a whole lot of differences between walking and fleeing. The word fleeing is synonymous to the word flying. This means, it is far higher than running. It actually interprets disappearing. To disappear is to have nothing to trace you to a place.

The word of God asked us to flee from greed. Remember, it terminates the ministry Gehazi ((Proverbs 1:19).. The Bible also teaches us to flee all youthful lust (2 Timothy 2:22). Youthful lust is the temptation to desiring to have all things when you have not labour for. Most people want to have what they have not labour for. We are asked to flee all act of sin and ungodliness.

Please, understand that the spirit using you determines your actions. If you are truly a vessel of God you should not be found around sinful attitude. There are places you should not be found. There are words that should not proceed from your mouth. There are dresses you should not wear. There are songs you should not sing. The word of God instructed us to flee, in case we mistakenly found ourselves in such a place. Then, we shall be vessels of His honour. Peace. 

PRAYER: Lord, give me the strength to always flee from sin.

“If you don’t flee, it could catch up with you”

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.

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.

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.
