  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...

FIRST WITHIN

Judges 6:11-16  
So he said to Him, “O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.” (V. 15).

    In the course of we growing up in life, we grow in the midst of some situation that had sharpen our mind and belief system. Some of such mentality cannot produce a victorious life. We sometimes take them to be sincere humility, thinking we are helpless about them. It makes us think some people are more lucky than we are. That makes you look down on yourself.

Gideon said to the angel, I come from the weakest tribe in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house. He often thinks like this and have self-defeat in his heart (Proverbs 23:7). There is no way anyone can win with self defeat mentality.  You can’t be thinking defeated and win you can't be thinking as a slave and rule, you can't be thinking poor and be rich. Build a mind-set of a conqueror, I am a king (Revelation 5:9-10), I am special and peculiar (1 Peter 2:9), I am blessed of God (Ephesians 1:3), I can do all things through Christ (Philippians 4:13), I am born to reign (Revelation 5:9-10). The great God is in me (1 John 5:4).

Friend, God knows what he made you for before giving you that assignment, He knows you are able. Jeremiah also said, I am a youth but God stop him from thinking like that, Moses also almost lost his destiny but God stop him of that.

Friend, you are capable of winning, just deal with all of these. You are only delayed for your appointed time to come and it has come. Don’t think defeated. Always agree with God in your thinking and you will always win. 

Prayer: Lord, give me the strength to win in my thought patterns 

“IF YOU CAN’T WIN IN YOUR HEART YOU CAN’T WIN IN LIFE”

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 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.
