  SPIRITUAL BLESSING Ephesians 1:1-8 Devotional:- “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ” (v.3) NKJV In the demonstration of the love of Christ to us, believers need to come to awareness that He has made every blessing available to us in heavenly places. You need to know that nothing happens physically on earth unless it has first been approved to be, in heaven. You will observe some people trying to achieve something you consider not too difficult, but it eventually becomes impossible for them. This is because heaven has not approved it for them. You must have heard Apostle Paul use the language, “from the foundation of the world,” that is, the things already concluded in heaven for us. But as for you, the bible says, God has already blessed you with all blessings in the heavenly places. It means it is approved for you, and God will support you to attain it. You can know all that he...

IT PLEASES THE LORD

IT PLEASES THE LORD 

1 Thessalonians 5:14:22
Devotional- “in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (V. 18) NKJV

 Human reasoning wants to rejoice only when things are good. When it looks less, we often want to complain and shift blame. The word of God instructs us to always rejoice in the Lord (Philippians 4:1). That is, rejoicing in the hope we have in our God. The Bible says “this is the will of God in Christ Jesus”.

Praises pleases God because it is a sign of appreciation or gratitude to Him. It pleases God because it is a sign of submission to His will. It pleases God because it helps you to return glory to God. It helps you to honour God. That is why praises pleases God.

Remember, when a man's way pleases the Lord, He make Him to be at peace with even his enemy. (Proverbs 16:7). When a man's way pleases the Lord, He blesses him beyond his request (1 Kings 3:10-14). David could win the heart of God because He knows how to praise Him.

Friend, learn to praise God from a pure heart. Then your ways will please Him and He shall bless you. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a humble heart to please you with my praises.

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.
