BEING HELP

  BEING HELP Romans 12:9-20 Devotional:- “Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality” (V. 13) NIV There is hardly anyone in the world who does not need help, except that they are not making any move to make something happen. So help is a need of people who are looking forward, people who have vision or people who are pursuing a life goal. If you consider yourself in need of help, then you are just one of the people on the path of success. This help could vary from the need for the right people’s assistance, counselling, or money and material. We need to understand with clarity that at any period in time, we will surely reap what we have sown (Galatians 6:7). And so we must keep sowing help into the life of others to reap help. The bible says, “Share with people who are in need“ Let us be careful not to be too need-conscious that you don’t remember to do good to others. There are people you are far better off. There are people around us who look at us as priv...

JOY

Scripture Reading: Nehemiah 8:1-11
Devotional:- “Then he said to them, "Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength."” (v. 10) NKJV


    Whenever we look into the subject of joy, the people of the world always mistaken to be happiness. Happiness is produced by happenings, an event or a result. The truth is that there is no permanent event or result in this world. This makes it impossible for happiness to give a lasting joy. For example, as a football fan, your team may win today and lose tomorrow. When they win, you have strength in your mouth to talk. But when they lose, the strength is gone.

The joy of the Lord is of the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17). This joy is by the flow of the spirit of God. Since it is of the Spirit, it ignites your will to move you into action. This joy makes us to be able to stand when we look weak. It made us to be unstoppable by any kind of happening. Yes joy comes from the spirit of God in us, while happiness comes from the things or events of this world.

Friend, give yourself to fellowship with the word of God, with the presence of God and the people of God (Psalms 16:11; Psalms 122:1). Then you will find the strength of joy. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, connect me to the joy of the Holy Spirit.

“JOY OF THE SPIRIT IS THE EVIDENCE OF THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT”

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).

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.
