TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Devotional:- “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (V. 17) NLT  God has a purpose behind every problem. God depends more on circumstances to grow our character than reading the Bible; this is because we have challenging circumstances twenty four seven. The word of God made us to see challenges in our life as normal (1 Peter 4:18). Your deepest expression of worship is mostly in the darkest days. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt and honest prayers to God (James 5:16). God would have kept Jeremiah from the throne to the pit, Joseph from been thrown into the jail, Paul from been shipwrecked or the three Hebrew from been thrown into the fire but he left those problems to himself. You will never know that God is all you need until God is all you have.  Everything that happens to you has spir...

LIVING POSITIVE

LIVING POSITIVE

Read: Genesis 45: 1 -13 
Devotional:- “But now do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life” (V.5) 

    Many of us have not come to this truth that God meant business when He created man. So many still look at life as a joke but few have begun to take their place in destiny. I see you joining the great in Jesus name. God has earlier revealed to Joseph that he will be a ruler even over his own brothers. Yet for many years it was not looking like it. His brothers hated him deeply but the bible never recorded a time of grievous reaction from Joseph. 

The brothers threw him into the pit and sold him as slave to the Egyptians but none of these moved him. He believed in his dream that he will become what God has destined him to be notwithstanding his challenges. They were only ignorant of the fact that if they had left him in the pit he will still be great (Genesis 37:20).

People may be doing anything to you but you must be positive about yourself. Don’t let that bug you. Joseph became great because he was positive and not moved. If your situation always determines your mood you have been conquered by it. When he made himself known to his brothers, he handled the situation well by not complaining. He had always known that they cannot stop him from achieving his dream.

Friend, no one can stop you, take your place in faith and be matured. Stop reacting to situations unnecessarily. You will achieve your dream. 

Prayer: Lord, help me to refuse to be trapped by situation. 

“YOUR REACTIONS ARE TRICKS TO TRAP YOU, WATCH OUT”

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.
