MY REFUGE

  MY REFUGE Psalms 46:1-7 Devotional:- "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (V. 1) It is always very easy for men to say God is not good to them when they have a pressing need. But if you observe it carefully, wisdom will let you always appreciate Him. It is not every one that began this year that is still alive now. Many were faced with challenges greater than themselves and were swallowed up. If you listen to the reasons for their falls, they are not too great. The truth is that you also have passed through challenges greater than theirs, but God was your refuge. Anytime you run to Him, you will find a hiding place in Him. Even when it looks like the situation wants to swallow you, you still find strength for help in God. Do you know that you have been enjoying His refuge not because you are better but because He loves you? No matter what happens, do not be afraid, your lover is your refuge. All you need to do is keep drinking from the river from the...

HAVING FAVOUR

Scripture Reading: Act 2:40-47
Devotional:- “praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved” (V. 47) NKJV

    A life of disfavored will always lack support and help. Disfavored is the opposite of favour. But this is not for a child of God. Our redemptive package is favour inclusive (Psalm 5:12). That is why the righteous cannot beg (Psalm 37:25). So, if you find a life of disfavor, then something is wrong somewhere. In most cases, it is inability to humbly praise God that hinder favour. In aability to humble yourself to praise God is a pointer to ingratitude. When people are ungrateful they have secret intimidation by the success of another person. When people are ungrateful they have secret fear of failure. 

In the first church, there is a record of tremendous favour. The Bible told us the secret, and that is praises. This is because, praises makes man to please God (Psalm 69:30-31). The daughter of Herodias danced before Herod and he was pleased to give her anything to the half of his kingdom (Mark 6:21-23).

Friend, if you want to enter into the realm of favour, the secret is praises. The first church was praising God, such that God was bringing them all into favour. That God is still the same. If you will also give yourself unto praises, you will start to experience favour. And there shall be no more disfavor in your life in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, let your praises never depart from my mouth.

“FAVOUR IS FOR THE HUMBLE AND PRAISEFUL”

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.
