  TIME OF CELEBRATION  2 Samuel 6:11-23 Devotional:- “Then David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod” (V. 14) NKJV As much as this season is tagged with much celebration, the enemy often tries to see how he could poison the joy of many people to remove them from the list of people who will celebrate. It will be wisdom for you to know that happiness and sorrow are a choice. I will advise you to choose to rejoice in hope and leave sorrow for the enemy (Romans 5:22). In the scripture we read today, David and all the people were in a mood of celebration because of the advent of the ark of the Lord. But a lady could not see what was worth celebrating, and she took offence at David’s elegant celebration. And she remains barren till her death. Friend, if the coming of the ark of the Lord is sufficient to lose celebration, how much more the coming of Christ, the Son of God. Don’t let the devil push you to sorrow corner in a time like this.

PEACEFUL BLESSING

PEACEFUL BLESSING

Joshua 7:16-26
Devotional:- When I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonian garment, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. And there they are, hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, with the silver under it.” (V. 21)

   God demonstrated His mighty power and delivered the children of Israel from the hand of the Egyptians, bringing them to their promise land. But as soon as they took over the promise land, a small nation defeated them in battle and they were embarrassed.

They didn’t know that one man had just wrongly acquired wealth among them which pitched God against them. Then God allowed their enemies to defeat them. When an enquiry was made, Achan was discovered to have taken and hidden what God said they should not touch. He wanted to be smart enough to get rich quick, not knowing that that is the way of destruction (Proverbs 14:12).

Today, the blessing some people are gathering is from the one they have used “bold face” to get. They terrorize others to get wealth. People seem to have taken evil blessing to be a good one. Not many want to labour genuinely to make it. Shrewd people devise ways of defrauding others what they have laboured for. A family or nation who is diligent will enjoys the blessing of God. God’s blessing comes with peace and prosperity. You don’t need to fight anyone to get it. God’s blessing came when you get involved in genuine business that brings a peaceful blessing (Proverbs 10:22). Achan ended up in destruction. Don’t follow such path, face your business with godly wisdom and heaven will prosper you.

Prayer: Lord, deliver me from sinful and deadly blessing.

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.
