PRESENCE OF GOD  Psalm 16:5-11 Devotional:- “You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (v.11) NKJV As good as joy is, one of the greatest tasks of joy is sustaining it. So the world always finds it difficult to sustain. Many cannot even experience it for more than two hours per week. This is because they have not located the source of joy. As a believer, you need to know that joy is a product of the presence of God. Wherever God’s presence is, our scripture today says joy will fill the place. It means the oxygen and the hydrogen of the atmosphere of God are joy. So you cannot be in His presence and not know joy. No wonder David said he is always glad when it is time to go to the house of the Lord. (Psalm 122:1). To experience the presence of the Lord, you need to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and then His presence will be within you. You also need to believe that He is with you according to His word.

PRIDE

Scripture Readings: Daniel 4:28-37
Devotional:- “That very hour the word was fulfilled concerning Nebuchadnezzar; he was driven from men and ate grass like oxen; his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair had grown like eagles' feathers and his nails like birds' claws” (v. 33) NKJV


    One of the instruments of the devil to destroy people's strength is pride. Whatever reason a man is proud is not wisdom. The word of God says “when you see pride coming, a fall is bound to follow”. There is no height a man has attained that pride cannot bring him down. It brought Nebuchadnezzar to years of living like an animal (Daniel 4:33). It made the prodigal son to waste his father’s resources (Luke 15:13). Please be careful of pride.

As terrible as pride could be, it can happen to anyone who is not of understanding. That is why we need to know what causes pride. Pride is an emotional feeling in anyone who feels he/she is above others. Pride is a product of allowing people to place us on the throne of tissue papers. Pride is a feeling that we are bigger and greater than others. Anytime we feel this way, we need to careful (Proverbs 16:18).

People are able to rise up in life because they enjoy inspiration by revelation. All of these are giving by God (Job 32:8). If the understanding that brought lifting is removed in a day, that man will be confused and will start to fail. That is why a king that is ruling the whole world can become like an animal. Nothing can make us rise but the strength of the Lord. Refuse pride. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, help me never to be fooled into pride.

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.
