  PROMISES Isaiah 55:1-13  Devotional:- “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it” (V.11) NKJV One thing that is common with lovers are promises. It is part of what a true lover will want to hear. To a true lover, a promise is like a cheque capable of turning into cash. So when people who love us promise us, we cherish the promises. And when we remember them, it gladdens our heart. We even sometime feel happy enough to share it with other friends. One other terrible thing that is common with people is failing to fulfill promises. That is why it will be unwise to marry someone based on mare promises. These failure in promises of people, in some cases, are due to the inadequacy of human strength, or unforeseen circumstances that can overtake the promises, so the promised often feel deceived. But God is not like man. He will fulfill all that He ha...

REGRETS

Luke 16:1-4
Dev: “"Then the steward said within himself, 'What shall I do? For my master is taking the stewardship away from me. I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.” (v. 3)

  Stewardship teaches us that every act of unfaithfulness or irresponsibility in our current opportunities will be regretted. This is because unfaithfulness in every opportunity will lead to loss of such opportunity. No matter how great or small you think the opportunities are, when it is lost, it leads to regret.

Man often wants to relax when they are having some good opportunities. We sometimes get so used to what we are doing that it loses value to us. This could makes someone feel even if they lose it, it will not matter. I have seen people in enviable opportunities which becomes common to them and when they lose it, they could not amount to anything again in life. Remember the prodigal son (Luke 15:17-18).

Friend, what you are looking down on today may be a big stewardship opportunity that the Lord has given you. Please know that God is watching all you are doing. If you will not regret it, then humble yourself and be grateful to God. Become faithful to God and your leaders. Don't envy others. Celebrate what God has given you, value that family, business or ministry. Don't throw away your goods for others. There is nothing bad that cannot be good, if someone good will work on it. Peace.

PRAYER- Lord reveal the value of my opportunities to me.

“TO THE UNFAITHFUL, OPPORTUNITIES ARE NOT VALUED TILL THEY ARE LOST”

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.
