A FRIEND

  A FRIEND John 15:9-17  Devotional:- “...but l have called you friends…” (V. 15) In this generation, it is not a common thing to find true friends. This is someone who goes all out to see to your well-being. Someone who wants to identify with you in all situations. Someone who is not feeling fine until he sees you, someone who daily remembers to pray and intercede for you. It can be a terrible thing sometimes when you desire to share your mind with someone, and no one is willing to listen to you, or someone who could offer a little help. Sometimes we could be in need of a little encouragement, but no one to really do it. The people who are supposed to encourage us are the ones who misunderstand us and condemn us. We need to come to the understanding that God is our friend. He is not just your Lord and God. He always wants to listen to you. He is not happy when you are not (Hebrews 4:15). He is always around you. He wants to identify with you in all situations. He is not out t...

BUSINESS

1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 NKJV
Devotional:- "that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you". (V. 11)

    Every true believer should be involved in one business or the other. To us as believers doing business is a commandment and not a suggestion (Luke 19:13). It is important you know that doing business is solving problem. Doing business is contributing to the good of your nation and your family. Doing business is generating income for yourself to be a blessing to your family and the Kingdom of God. Doing business is building your value.

These are the reasons the Bible says he that does not work should not eat (2 Thessalonian 3:10). God hates idleness. If anyone is Idle, he or she is not taking steps of faith and not using the talents and the gift of God in his or her life to affect others. Stop waiting for your boss to give you assignment before you work. Be creative in that office. Create a work to effect the progress of your office. A true believer is responsible. A true believer is not a liability but a joy of nations (2 Thessalonian 3:7-8)

Friend, if you truly believe God then you should step out by faith to get involved in a profitable venture and stop complaining that things are hard, it is not new (1 Corinthians 10:13).  Stop living by borrowing from house to house. God wants to bless the work of your hands (Psalms 1:3). Step out and do business or work. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, give me the ability of a profitable servant

“It is a sin for a Christian not to work”

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.

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.

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.
