PARENT OF THE GREAT

  PARENT OF THE GREAT Exodus 2:1-10 Devotional:- “So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months..” (V. 2) NKJV. Anything you see that is great in life was incubated by some great people. If you can see anyone becoming great in life, you can easily trace the history back to the parents. I found something funny in this world: everyone wants their children to be great, but they don't bother to raise them for this purpose. People are wise enough to raise chickens for different purposes – some for laying eggs and some for consumption – but few are raising children with the purpose of leadership. We often expect the children to just grow and be great by luck or chance. If you observe great people in the Word of God, you can easily trace it back to their parents. This you can see in the lives of Isaiah, Joseph, David and others. I think it will be funny to sow maize and expect to reap yams. Moses, as we read today, was born...

FOR HIS GOODNESS

FOR HIS GOODNESS

Scripture Reading: Psalms 107:1-9
Devotional:- Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! (V. 8) NKJV


    God deserves the praises of His people. This is because He is good to humanity in all ways. That is why it takes the humble to praise Him. Oftentimes, we are so full of our needs so much more that we don't see the reason to appreciate all that the Lord is doing. Because we are so need driven, when God has done a thing what we are thinking of is the next one. 

The truth is that the goodness of the Lord is in our healing, the air we breathe in and out, the goodness of the Lord is in our journey. The goodness of the Lord is in our eating and digestion. The goodness of the Lord is in our family care. The goodness of the Lord in the help and favour we enjoy from time to time. His provision is so wonderful in our lives.

That is why we must not stop praising Him. It will be an act of ingratitude to do so. Let His praise always be in your mouth. Then His goodness will continue in your life. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, let your goodness never stop in my life.

“IT IS IN THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD THAT YOU ARE GOOD”

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.
