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...

PRAYER AND FASTING

PRAYER AND FASTING

Scripture Reading: Matthew 17:14-21
Devotional:- “However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting" (v. 21) NKJV 

    To gain spiritual strength, a man must create avenue to overcome the flesh. That is what makes praying and fasting very important. The flesh don’t ever want any inconveniences. The flesh wants pleasure and the enjoyment of this world. The Bible says “if we continue to live by the flesh, we will terminate our connection with God (Romans 8:5-8). The flesh always wants to drive to carnality and that is why whoever that wants to be strong in the spirit must deny it in prayer and fasting. Prayer and fasting is for you to gain spiritual muscles.

A man brought his son to the disciples of Jesus for healing but they could not. Friend, you may say “but I am not a pastor”, must I fast to heal people? But there will come an occasion when you or your family will need healing and you may not be able to help them, if you are weak. Don’t wait to be under emergency to be strong to conquer. Prevention is better than cure. Jesus said the forces of wickedness cannot be commanded out by a weak man (Matthew 17:21, Proverbs 24:10)

I will like to encourage you to regularly create time to separate yourself unto God in prayer and fasting. It does not in any way going to disturb your work or business. That way, you will enjoy deep revelation about the word of God for your strength (Isaiah 58:6-8). Then your strength will increase for your victory. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me grace to always deny myself in time of praying and fasting.

“PRAYER AND FASTING SHOULD BECOME A LIFESTYLE FOR CHILD OF GOD”

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.
