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...

YOUR GIFTS

1 Corinthians 12:1-11
Dev:- “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:” (v. 7)

    When we come to know the Lord, we receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Part of the package of the Holy Spirit are the gift of the Spirit. The word of God says the Spirit gives them to each one as He wishes (1 Corinthians 12:11). That is why none of us can call it our own. It is called the gift of God.

I believe the word gift already suggest that it is kept in our charge. We are then a steward to manage it unbehalf of the owner (1 Corinthians 4:1). These gifts are for the edification and confort of the body of Christ (the church) (1 Corinthians 14:3). These gifts are divided to different groups. The first is revelational gifts. These are the gifts that makes us experience God’s revelation. They are the word of wisdom, word of knowledge and discerning of spirits. The second is the gift of power. They are gifts of faith, working of miracles and the gift of help. The third is the vocal or inspirational gifts. They are gifts of prophesy, diverse kind of tongue and interpretation of tongues.  

You can activate these gifts in your life by prayer and fasting and service to God. They can be activated when you are living by faith and worshipping the Lord. We have seen it in the Bible that they can be activated by men of God laying hands on you (2 Timothy 1:6). Remember they are for the edification and comfort of all. Please use them to minister to people in body of Christ. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, let your gifts manifest in me to make me a blessing.

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.
