  JOYFUL COMPANION  Luke 1:37-45 Devotional:- “For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy” (v.44) NKJV We must know that sooner or later, we will always look like the people we are moving with. God’s word says, he that walks with the wise shall be wise and the companion of fools shall be destroyed (Proverbs 13:20). This means that what we gain from the surroundings of our associates has a very strong influence upon our life. If a man walks with people who don’t know or appreciate joy, he may not also experience joy. We read about the visitation of Mary to Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. Since two of them carry unique children of divine significance, they both have the Spirit of God in them. This brings about a joyful effect. As soon as Elizabeth heard the voice of Mary, the baby leaped for joy. You therefore need to understand that the richest place you need to seek to be is where God’s children are gathe...

REDEEMED TO GOD

REDEEMED TO GOD

Ephesians 1:3-10
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace (V. 7) NKJV

    To be redeemed is to be bought from the slave market. When a slave is up for sale, a relation may come to buy back home. That is redemption. All men are in the slave market of sin (John 8:34). Jesus came as a saviour to redeem us from the power of sin (Matthew 1:21).

 A true Christian is the one that Jesus has redeemed by his blood unto God (Revelation 5:9). You need this understanding to be a Christian. This is because that makes you know you are now purchased unto God. You now belong to God and no more for the devil or the world. You are no more for yourself (1 Corinthians 6:20). You need this understanding to know that no other power have right over your life.

Friend, since you have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus, all glory belongs to Him. Sin and its power have no right over your life anymore. You are now a child of God and have nothing to do with the devil and darkness anymore (Ephesians 5:11-12). God’s word says you are now a king and a priest (Revelation 5:9-10). So playing around with the ungodly endangers your redemption. The Lord will sustain you to the end in Jesus name.

Prayer: Lord, help me to keep my redemption in mind.

“Whoever does not keep his/her redemption in mind will soon be enslaved again”.

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.
