  WHO CARES I Peter 5:5-11 Devotional:- “casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” (V. 7) NKJV A man could feel so lonely, especially when life looks average. This is when a man may not be having nor be lacking. At times, it is not too bad, but not really good. When you have to manage between the two sides. Such time, a man could feel deserted. This is because people could think you are hiding out or pretending. They’ve never seen you coming to beg, nor are you a rich man. But it is only God and you who know what exactly you are going through. At such a period, people come to you to ask you. And since they are not your God, you cannot be discussing your plight with them. Even when you do the little within your strength, they feel you are bad. And then in your secret you think, who cares? Friend, I like to remind you of God’s love letter to you. And in the scripture we read today, He said, He cares. We must learn to cast our cares on Him. Our cares are our needs and our ...

FEAR

Matthew 8:23-27
Devotional:- "But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm". (V. 26)

    One of the tricks of the devil uses on man is the trick to make them afraid. There are so many things Christians do not know, so the devil plays on our ignorance. He knows that the moment he can he can get us afraid, he can always overcome. Fear is the fore runner of the devil. Fear permits him to operate in the lives of men. It is the faith in God to work in our lives and fear moves the devil to work against. You need to stop being afraid, it is the greatest enemy of your faith.

Anytime lions want to eat, he roars. This creates fear in other animals. This will now make them produce hormones in them. By this he will sense to know the direction at which he should turn for meat. God’s word says the devil roars like a lion seeking for whom to devour. If you will stop being afraid of him, you stop secreting the hormone that attract the activities of the devil.

The only place the devil is afraid to enter is a place of faith and boldness. Do you notice that when you refuse to get scared by the barking of a dog, it stops chasing you?

God has not created you for fear. Please, realise that you are the highest creature of God. All other creatures are to be afraid of you (Genesis 9:2). Friend, fear will not save nor deliver you but add to your problem. Why don’t you learn to hang your faith on God and refuse fear? Then your life will begin to experience great peace and joy.

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me from the inside to overcome fear.

“If you can’t stop the fear, you can’t stop the devil”

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.
