  JOYFUL COMPANION  Luke 1:37-45 Devotional:- “For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy” (v.44) NKJV We must know that sooner or later, we will always look like the people we are moving with. God’s word says, he that walks with the wise shall be wise and the companion of fools shall be destroyed (Proverbs 13:20). This means that what we gain from the surroundings of our associates has a very strong influence upon our life. If a man walks with people who don’t know or appreciate joy, he may not also experience joy. We read about the visitation of Mary to Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. Since two of them carry unique children of divine significance, they both have the Spirit of God in them. This brings about a joyful effect. As soon as Elizabeth heard the voice of Mary, the baby leaped for joy. You therefore need to understand that the richest place you need to seek to be is where God’s children are gathe...

REGRETS

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”

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.

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.
