  WISE MEN Matthew 2:1-12 Devotional:- “And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.” (V. 11) NKJV Up till now, in the minds of some people, givers are foolish. Some believe that people only give to bribe. Others believe that those who give especially in the house of God have been brainwashed and deceived. Others, even Christians, believe that giving is a way to support God’s work, and it is at their discretion, with no one able to push them. They choose when and when not to give and not as anyone instructs them. So, they only give as they like. They don’t listen to the message of pay your tithe or give an offering, or build for God. The truth that this season brought us is that givers are wise men. Someone said givers give because they have faith that they will receive more than they are giving. Givers give ...

CHOOSING RIGHTEOUSNESS

Scripture Reading: Daniel 1:1-9
Devotional:- “But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.” (V8)

    As a child of God, you will need the grace of God to always choose the path of righteousness. The system and pattern of the world make it difficult to be able to choose to obey God in every situation. But because we must not miss out on God, we therefore need to know what will help us in our choices.

Looking at the factors that help Daniel and his friends to choose not to defile themselves in Babylon, the first is the fact that they have given themselves to studying and meditating in the word of God. (Daniel 9:2; Joshua 1:8). It is what you give yourself to study that you will meditate on. It is what you meditate on that you find yourself acting on. The second factor is their determination to remain in the path of righteousness. The Holy Spirit will be willing to help you when He sees the desires of your heart for God The third factor is the fellowship or the company you keep (Psalm 1:1). They were all Hebrew in the palace and keep their fellowship together. Many believers today make the fellowship with the children of God to be secondary in their lives. We need to watch this. 

Friend, your church fellowship is the place of your strength (Psalm 84:7). Any of us can be busy but you will not be busy that you will not eat for a week, if it is not dry fasting. Watch out not to allow gap between you and God. Then you will be able to keep choosing the path and of righteousness. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, help me to keep my consistency with you.

“What you keep reading will determine what you keep doing”

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.

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.
