  PROMISES Isaiah 55:1-13  Devotional:- “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it” (V.11) NKJV One thing that is common with lovers are promises. It is part of what a true lover will want to hear. To a true lover, a promise is like a cheque capable of turning into cash. So when people who love us promise us, we cherish the promises. And when we remember them, it gladdens our heart. We even sometime feel happy enough to share it with other friends. One other terrible thing that is common with people is failing to fulfill promises. That is why it will be unwise to marry someone based on mare promises. These failure in promises of people, in some cases, are due to the inadequacy of human strength, or unforeseen circumstances that can overtake the promises, so the promised often feel deceived. But God is not like man. He will fulfill all that He ha...

GRATITUDE

Scripture Reading: Colossians 3:12-17 
Devotional:- "And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful". (V. 15) NKJV


    Gratitude is an act of been grateful. As beautiful as gratitude could be, it is a virtue that is so scarce among the sons of men. This is because of the proud nature of our hearts. This is because of our selfish intension or motives.

Ingratitude in the presence of God is a great sin (Romans 1:21). Ingratitude is a product of a futile heart. This is a heart that is not patient enough to diligently produce results. He is too desperate to see what God is doing, so, always complaining (1 Corinthians 10:10). Ingratitude is pride. Ingratitude is an affliction of the devil to stagnate a soul and punish the destiny. Only the fools are ungrateful. This will only leave a soul in darkness and confusion (Romans 1:21).

Friend, for any life to become productive, such must be grateful to God in all situations (1 Thessalonians 5:18). This demands much humility and sincerity. This demands the understanding that God is good to you all the way. If any expectation is yet to come, they will come and God is not to be blamed. Face the reality and stop blaming anyone. He keeps you when you and your family sleeps. He provide for you in time of need. He heals you and your family. He open doors of help for you. Humble yourself to praise Him always. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always be grateful to you.

“ONLY THE GRATEFUL HAVE CONTINUOS GRACE FOR GREATNESS”

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 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.
