  MEEKNESS Numbers 12:1-10 Devotional:- “(Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth.)” (v.3) NKJV A great virtue that will help a man sustain a life of joy is meekness. This is an act of being gentle and ready to accept instructions and corrections. This is an act of not being willing to struggle with God but to easily submit to His will. Jesus said this kind of people will inherit the earth (Matthew 5:5). This is because they will always be willing to take instruction and correction. Sometimes correction or discipline of love could be harsh or strong, but a meek person has the fortitude to bear it and rejoice at it because he knows that such will always get him better and stronger. The meek are willing to wait to receive the help of God. He is simple when it comes to accepting the will of God. To him, God is always good, which makes him ever thankful and joyful. This is the reason God cannot but give them a great portion of the earth. S...

CARING

CARING

1 Peter 5:5-11
Devotional:-"casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you". (V. 7)

    To love is to care. To care is not cheap. It is actually costly. Whatever it costs to to care is the prize of love. To care for someone is to be concerned about his/her life. Everyone have enough matter to concentrate on in their lives. But when you can go out of your way to care and show concern for others, that is love. It is when we can go out of our personal challenges and care for others that we are mature.

All through the ages we see how much God cares for us.  Right from the Garden of Eden to when He gave us Jesus (Genesis 3:21; 1 John 4:9). As sinful as man can be, yet, God has not abandoned us. Many times He will discipline the nation Israel for their wrong doings. And He will still go after them to comfort them (Isaiah 40:1).

This is truly a love lesson for us. We should care for people around us. This begins from our relationship to our spouses, children and parents. No one brings it from heaven. We all have to learn the act of caring for the body of Christ and for each other. Care starts from greetings, to concern about the affairs of others. Praying for each other and helping one another at our different levels. The self, the flesh or the human nature wants to care for himself alone. Let me satisfy my self first whatever may be happening to others is the language of carnality. We are truly mature when we are willing to care for others. You can never finish meeting your personal need. That is why the economist says human wants are unlimited. Don’t walk alone in life. You may not be able to go too far. Care for others as much as this does no harm to you. Always to remember to do this from a genuine heart and you will be like your fathering heaven. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a caring heart.

“A caring spirit is the Spirit of God”

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.
