  LIFTING Psalms 75:1-10 Devotional:- “But God is the judge. He putteth down one and setteth up another.” (V. 7) KJV It is part of God’s act of love to lift up his own people. If you have a privilege be in an office, there is every tendency that you will want use your office to help and lift the people you love, so also is God. He is highly exalted. He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He is the creator of heaven and earth. The bible calls Him the judge, in other word, He rules and decides the case of everyone in heaven and earth. So he is willing to lift you up as the one He loves. In the sovereignty of God, I have seen God demonstrating His love by lifting the unworthy. People like Joseph, David, Solomon, Paul the apostle and a host of others. If you as a child of God enjoy a status now it is part of His good gesture to you. And whatever level you are now, do not be discouraged, for He is still taking you higher. He took Joseph from the prison to the palace (Genesis 41:...

LABOUR OF FAITH.

LABOUR OF FAITH.

Read: Hebrews 4:1-12 
Devotional:- “Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief” (V.11) 


    Most believers have not come to the understanding of the need to labour in the word of God. Everybody wants the exploit of the strength of the word of God in their lives but they are not ready to labour for it. Laboring in the word of God is simply studying to know the truth of the word of God. 

Apostle Paul told Timothy to study to show himself approved to God ( 2 Timothy 2:15). It is said in Colossians 3:16 that the word of God should be rich in us. But this takes some measure of labour. So many Christians today cannot explain a verse in the Bible but can narrate all films in town. Some don’t search the scripture at all not to talk of having interest to go for Bible study or school. That is not only meant for the pastors but for everyone who wants to grow strong in the Lord and enter his rest. The Berea church was known for this (Acts 17:10-12). 

From now when you contact a scripture either in church or personal study time, search to know it more. Study it to gain more understanding of it and you will be strong in faith. You will have rest over what trouble others. It is knowledge that makes strong (Proverbs 24:5). Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, give me love for your word. 

“THE MORE YOU KNOW THE STRONGER YOU WILL BE”

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.
