  COMPARISM 2 Corinthians 10:7-18 Devotional:- “Oh, don't worry; we wouldn't dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!” (v.12) NLT. Man, by his complexity, sometimes creates complications for himself in life. One of the things we often do incorrectly is to measure our lives by comparing them to other people’s lives. We often forget that we are sent for a different purpose, so our goals and objectives cannot be the same. There is nothing wrong with trying to gauge your level of performance against others in the same field. But it will be completely wrong for you to determine whether you are a failure or a success by the life of another man. Paul, the apostle of Christ, knows that his own purpose and program are from the Lord and are different from what others have been given. For example, if some apostles were marr...

MENTAL STRENGTH

Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 2:6-16
Devotional:- “For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ” (v. 16) NKJV

    Our mind is the processor for our strength. Our mind is the place where the strength of life is directed before it manifests physically. That is why it is the state of the mind of a man that determines the strength of his life. No matter how strong spiritually a man could be, if the mind is not cooperating, the man will still be weak. It is the mind that is the battle ground of life. That is why you must avoid sin to avoid condemnation. The act of condemnation will always break down the strength of the mind. If anyone is walking after the flesh or worldly way the devil will always push such to condemnation (Romans 8:1). 

By your mind I am referring to your soul. Your soul is having three compartments: the intellect, the will and the emotion. The intellect think, the will decide and the emotion drives your actions. For a soul to be strong, you must mind what you are thinking, this will determine your decision and action (Proverbs 4:23). A strong mind will do everything to retain positive and possible thought always. This is not always easy except by the help of the Hoy Spirit.

To keep a strong mind, then labor to store the word of God in your mind (Colossians 3:16). The word of God is always positive. When it constitutes your thinking, it will strengthen your mind for right action and for right result. The word of God will give you value in life. That is why it will produce in you good success (Joshua 1:8). Peace.

 PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to build a strong mind.

“YOUR MIND IS THE SIT OF YOUR STRENGTH OR WEAKNESSES”

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.
