  THANK HIM FOR ALL Zechariah 4:1-10 Devotional:- “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; His hands shall also finish it and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you” (V. 9) KJV In such a season as this, one of the weapons of the devil to steal the joy of many is discouragement. The enemy will make them see that God has not been good to them. He will make us to think of what God has not done, and not what He has done. He will make us compare ourselves to others and so one will see other people as better.   God can provide all that you need, and He is not mindful or unfaithful to you. He gave you the one you have today, but all that is good for your life. He will also give you if you can wait on Him by faith. Such time like this should challenge us to become better to do better. Every time you are not happy with your current situation, just know that a change is about to take place in your life. It is now you who will determine ...

PLEASURE MENTALITY

PLEASURE MENTALITY

Scripture Reading: Luke 8:11-15
Devotional:- “Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity” (v. 14) NKJV 

    One of the tricks of the devil to make people weak in this generation is the deceitfulness of pleasure. Man in their natural state tend to be deceived into pleasure mentality. There is nothing wrong in having pleasure, but pleasure mentality takes delight in idleness and continuous enjoyment. There is no one who want to focus on continuous enjoyment that will not fail at last in life (Proverbs 21:12).

Such people see what is the normal way of life from angle of fun or pleasure. It is a normal thing for man to eat but when food is taking with pleasure mentality, it becomes what people unnecessarily crave for. It is normal for people to relax in a pool once a while, if there is an opportunity. It is normal for a man and a woman to have sex in marriage. It is made by God and righteous but when taken with pleasure mentality, it becomes a trap. The spirit of the devil will always take advantage of people with pleasure mentality. Such spirit makes man to take continuous relaxation of irresponsibility as pleasure. The truth is that, irresponsibility will waste the strength of anyone (Ecclesiastics 10:16-18). This can lead people into the mentality of get rich quick which leads to robbery and murdering.

Friend, repent of your wrong ways of life to gain strength in God. To relax after a hard day work is wisdom but to take it as a life style and sit down to watch films for hours daily is called waste (1 Corinthians 6:12). Your destiny will not waste in Jesus name. Moses became great by avoiding pleasure (Hebrews 11:25). Don't let the devil waste your life. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, deliver me from pleasure mentality.

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.
