ENVY NO ONE

  ENVY NO ONE Genesis 37:1-11  Devotional:- “And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind.” (V.11) NKJV For a man to enjoy God’s love being wonderfully demonstrated to him, he must constitute a habit of not envying anyone. This is the reason why many cannot demonstrate genuine love to others. It is time you begin to understand that your value is not comparable. Envy is an emotional act people put on when they feel someone is better than them. Envy is always the mother of negative jealousy. It breeds bitterness and pushes people to commit all kinds of crimes. Some people’s reason for being armed robbers is that since they could not make it legitimately, they must go and get it by force from the hands of those who have made it. The truth is that there is no one who cannot make it. The problem with Joseph’s brother was that they did not know the truth of the word of God. As children of Abraham, all of them are already pronounced as successful in life. Josep...

GOD OF INCREASE

1 Corinthians 3:1-7    Devotional:- "I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase” (V. 6) NKJV


     Sometime, we could be unhappy and discouraged when our expectation seems delayed. When a man is laboring, he will set his mind on the harvest. Result is one major instrument that motivates us to intensify our effort. There is tendency to be discouraged, hope seems deferred (Proverbs 13:12)

There is therefore a strong need for us to know that, we are co-laborer with God (1 Corinthians 3:9). He is the God of increase. He is the one that determines when and what type of increase anyone will experience. Someone may have his work to just plant, another may just be called to water and others to harvest. The entire business belongs to us. All of us will have to be harvester. It is the one that harvest that seems to be rich.

Friend, please be of understanding that God do not call all of us to do the same thing. Your friends work may be to harvest, while yours may be to plant. Don’t quit because of that. Remain faithful; your own increase will come. God will not disappoint you. In case your assignment is hidden, remain faithful and you will see the faithfulness of God. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be faithful till I see my increase.

“IT IS AS YOU DON’T GIVE UP, THAT YOU MOVE UP”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
