GOOD SPOUSE

  GOOD SPOUSE 1 Corinthians 7:1-5 Devotional:- “Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband” (v.3) NKJV One of the greatest places where God expects love to be demonstrated is in the family, and most strongly between the husband and wife. It is a pity that this generation does not have many spouses enjoying true love in their relationships. Many have turned the home into a children-producing factory, and there is nothing strong that ties them together. And today, men can no longer understand the purpose of God for instituting marriage. The scripture we read today gives us some great instruction for our distinction in this world of destruction. God’s word says, "Each should render to one another due affection." Affection is love. God expects you to love each other (1 John 4:7). It is as you love each other that the atmosphere is created for God to mend and amend things in the house. Understand that the word 'love'...

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

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.
