  JOY IN PRAYERS I Samuel 2:1-10 Devotional:- “And Hannah prayed and said: "My heart rejoices in the LORD; My horn is exalted in the LORD. I smile at my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.” (V. 1) NKJV We often fall into depression when we look around us, and all we see are unanswered prayers. It becomes worse when you are despised and mocked for that thing that you are looking up to God for. Hannah was like that, a depressed and unhappy woman. What was Hannah’s secret that made her proclaim to all that “my heart rejoices in the Lord”? 1. She decided to look away from her oppressor 2. She went to God in prayer, pouring her sorrow to God.  3. She made a vow to give God the child 4. She left the presence of God, believing God answers prayer. Hannah made good her vow, and her joy was full. Are you depressed? Pour your heart to God, make a vow to him, and you will see him answer your prayers and your joy will Come. Prayer: Lord, help me to look up to you, not look down o...

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”

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.

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.
