  MAKING GOD HAPPY Numbers 6:22-27 Devotional:- “May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you” (V. 25 NLT) One of the goals of our life is to make God happy. This is because the goal of worship is to make God happy. A man can make God happy when he pleases the Lord in all His ways. Job was a man who pleases the Lord in his life time (Job 1:8). Noah was another man who also pleased God in his generation (Genesis 6:8). We are living for the glory of God when we live to make God happy by pleasing the Him. To make God happy, we must love Him supremely (Luke 14:26). No one loved us as God does. He knows what no one knows about us that is why we must love Him more than ALL. It is possible to love God supremely when we relate closely with Him (Hosea 6:6; Matthew 22:37-38; Genesis 6:9). To make God happy, we must learn to trust Him completely. Noah trusted Him and built an arc even on a dry land (Hebrew 11:7). Though, he had never seen rain before yet believed God and trusted Him compl...

PRAISES

Scripture Reading: 1 Peter 2:4-10
Devotional:- "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light"; (V. 9) NKJV


    Giving praises to God is an act of appreciating God for whom He has been to you. That makes praises personal a lot of the time. What God has been to you may be different from what He has been to me. For you He is a healer right now, for another He is a deliverer. That is why God is praise from the beginning to the end of every day (Psalm 113:3)

When you consider His daily work in your life, your sleeping and walking up, your going out and coming back in peace, your heart should give Him praises. God commanded us to always praise Him (Psalm 67:3). That is why when you are not praising Him, you are proud and sinning.

We are saved that we might show forth His praises (1 Peter 2:9). We also need to be praiseful to Him for keeping to His words and promises in our lives (Psalm 56:4). Stop complaining or grumbling. That will lead to stagnation (1 Corinthians 10:10)

Friend, when you can humble yourself to always praise Him, then you will start to see the power of praises. That is why David said I will praise Him at all times (Psalm 34:1). He said seven times a day do I praise thee (Psalm 119:164). As you choose to live a life of praises, you will begin to see His glory manifest in all areas of your life. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, let your praises always be in my mouth

“YOU CAN’T BE PRAISEFUL AND BE TENSED UP AT THE SAME TIME”

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.
