  APPRECIATE HIM Psalms 136:1-9  Devotional:- “Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” (V.1) NKJV Most people have not started to enjoy God to the maximum. because they have not fully imbibed the wisdom of appreciation. No relationship will be able to survive for a long time if the spirit of appreciation is not imbibed. Can you imagine that you plan to buy something for someone you love, though you do not have the means but embarked on saving towards it. At last you successfully get the gift, rapped it beautifully with a rapper and present it to your friend. All that your friend did was to receive it and just say, “That is good,” in a frowning way. And he started talking about something else to make you forget about the gift. You will feel disappointed and almost regret your effort. This and others are what most men do to God. We do not know that it is costing God so much to keep us alive. Can you imagine the challenges mummy went through b...

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”

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 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.
