  JOYFUL WOMAN 1 Peter 3:1-6 Devotional:- “Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives,” (V. 1) NKJV When a woman is living in joy, her family will also live in joy. That is why every woman deserves to be happy. This is because God has made a woman to be an Important part of the family. She is the beauty of her family. She is the glory of the home (Inside every woman’s handbag are instruments of their beauty. That is why they can’t do without the bag). Our scripture today gives us other things that should be in the bag of a happy woman. No matter your status as a woman, yet give the place of headship to your husband (1 Peter 3:1). The word of God want you to conduct yourself in the fear of God (1 Peter 3:2).  A woman who will live in joy must also take time to build godly character as her beauty. This should always be in their handbag. They are the true costume of a ...

PUTTING OFF

Colossians 3:1-11
Devotional:- But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. (V. 8) NKJV

    Part of the labour of faith for a believer is the work of putting off the old man. The old man is the flesh or self in every man (Romans 7:24). It is the work of each one to labour as we fellowship with God through His word to put off the old man (Philippians 2:12).

To put off the former nature of sin, the Bible instructs us to put to death the passion of the flesh.  These passions of the flesh is the sinful nature in each one, they push us to fornication, uncleanliness, passions, evil desire, covetousness which is idolatry (Colossians 3:5).  To put to death is to deliberately separate yourself from friends or atmosphere that promote this sinful desire (1 Timothy 6:11). In doing this we kill the source of the energy of these sins.

Friend you need to be deliberate in this labour to put to death and put off the nature of sin (Romans 6:6).  Remember you have given yourself to Christ. You have been crucified with Him. You no longer belong to yourself. You now belong to Jesus (Galatians 2:20). So separate yourself from this sinful nature and he will help you to put off the old man.

Prayer: Lord, give me the courage to be separated from worldly nature

“If you stop feeding the nature of sin, it will die”

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.
