GOOD REPORT

  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

HUMILITY

HUMILITY

Scripture Reading: James 4:1-10
Devotional:- Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. (V. 10) NKJV


    A person with a proud hearted cannot praise the Lord. Pride will not allow anyone to be qualify before the Lord. Pride is a function of overestimation of self, above the actual level of grace (Romans 12:3). A proud man will see praises as childish affairs and feel he cannot condescend so low to be jumping like a monkey in church in the name of praise (2 Samuel 6:20-23).

People become proud because they are not strong enough to manage their level and the level is controlling them. People become proud because they refuse to work over their unrealistic ego, so the ego will keep tormenting them in defeat and failure. Others become proud because they want to proof they are somebody, so they have to pretend to be who they are not (Proverbs 13:7).

Friend, God's word says “lifting comes by humility” (1 Peter 5:6). It will therefore be wrong to hinder your way to progress. God is not our classmates, so we have to praise Him as our creator, Lord, owner of our soul, the bridegroom of the bride, our saviour and our redeemer. See, your title does not open the door of His presence for you. Rather, it is your humility that will give you grace to access Him (James 4:6-7). Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a humble heart for my lifting.
