GOOD REPORT

  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

SUBMIT TO GOD

SUBMIT TO GOD

James 4:7-10
Devotional:- "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you". (V. 7)

    God made man as a free moral agent but that was because he wants us to voluntarily submit to Him. To submit is to make your life a Sub under His mission. This means to make Him your controller. To make His mission your mission for life. To allow Him be the supreme over your life. It is to follow God’s way as your vision.

Submission is best done willingly not out of fear or force, but out of love. The word submission is best pronounced as surrender. To be able to surrender your life to God you must trust that he will not fail you (Romans 9:33). To be able to totally surrender to God you need to admit that you have limitations in other words there are things you cannot do for yourself. That is why you will need His strength in many parts of your life (Philippians 4:13).

Friend, Christians are not those who struggle with God or with his word. They are those who submit or surrender to Him. Christians don’t argue the word of God but obey it. Christians don’t live in fear; they live by trust in the faithfulness of God. They know their life is not theirs anymore; they use it in submission to God (Matthew 26:39). The Lord will give you grace.

 Prayer: Lord, help me to live in submission to you always.

 “You would not be able to handle God’s authority if you don’t submit to Him”.

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.

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.
