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...

RIGHTEOUSNESS

RIGHTEOUSNESS 

Scripture Reading: 2 Timothy2:11-19 
Devotional:- Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity." (V. 19) NKJV

    The word of God says “God does not listen to the prayers of sinners” So also the praises of sinners (Psalm 66:18). If our praises will be acceptable before God, then we must first deal with the issues of sin. God and sin are not friendly. That is why the praises of sinners will not produce anything in God. No matter how sweet or melodious the songs are, it does not matter to God if our heart is not for Him.

This therefore demand that you purge yourself before the Lord (2 Timothy 2:21). Be humble to acknowledge your wrong doings before Him. Don't pretend (Proverbs 28:13). Genuinely repent before the Lord and ask Him for the grace to overcome sin (1 John 1:7-9). He will have mercy on you and forgive you (Isaiah 55:7).

This accept of His righteousness is by faith in the work of the Cross. (Philippians3:9). This an imputed righteousness that is a gift for a repented sinner. (Romans 4:6-8). To keep this righteous garment, we have to keep obeying the Lord (Psalm 119:9), Then your praises will be acceptable to God. Grace.

PRAYER: Lord, let there be mercy for my soul before you

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.

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.
