SERVING WITH JOY

SERVING WITH JOY Deuteronomy 28:47-52 Devotional:- “Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything” (V.47) NKJV A greater percentage of people do not know what stops their glory. They just suddenly discover that things just stop working out for them. In their ignorance, they accuse God and the devil for their predicament. You need to know from now that one of the things responsible is when people don’t serve with joy. People are always in haste to expect reward for their service. When it looks delayed, they begin to serve with grudges in their mind. God told the Israelites that if they did not serve God with a joyful heart, they would serve their enemy. This is actually too grievous, but men are also not always understanding. Something in us always looks so high that we don’t see what the Lord is doing, but we will always see what he has not done. This makes it difficult to serve with joy. Many are wounded by their delayed ex...

CHILDREN OF VICTORY

1 John 5:1-5 
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. (V. 4) 

    Everyone born of God i.e. born again is born into victory. That is the reason your victory is an inheritance. Jesus has fought and won for you, all that remain is that you take your place as a child of victory.

God who made the heaven and the earth created man to govern the earth for Him. That is why He commanded us at creation to take charge of the earth (Genesis 1:28). Your opponent is the devil and his host. God knows that the devil is the deceiver that is why he’s able to deceive Adam and Eve to sin against God and make them lose their estate. God knows someone born of man needs to fight and win and then give us victory. The is the word of God (Genesis 3:15). That is why He sent Jesus to undertake this task (1 John 3:8). Jesus defeated the forces of the devil and we are born again into this victory (1 John 5:4).

Friend, the reality of our victory is in Christ Jesus. That is why each of us will need to take responsibility by faith to challenge the forces against us. Don’t give in to defeat; as a child of God, your family is destined to overcome; your business will bounce back, your ministry is ordained to win. Don’t stay defeated, your victory is perfected, take strength from the word and win.

Prayer: Lord as a child of victory I refused to be defeated.

‘You are born again to win, arise and take your place’.

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.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). 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.
