HE GIVES STRENGTH Isaiah 40:21-31 Devotional:- “He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength” (v.29) NKJV      It often looks intimidating to suddenly discover that you are not as strong as you used to be. This is a state in which you can’t just locate your strength. One thing or the other has sapped them. Such cases might make some people afraid; those things of which they have boasted seem not to be there again. Others may think that at this time, the enemy might come to take advantage of them.

COMMUNICATION

COMMUNICATION

Colossians 4: 1-6
Devotional:- "Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one." (V. 6)

    As God's kingdom citizen please understand that for any relationship to be strong there must be effective communication. A family that share together stays together and journey together. Communication is an act of sharing our mind together. It could be in form of counseling or guide. It could also be in form of sharing our mind in a lighter mood or commending one another. It could also be in encouraging or correcting each other. 

​In the scripture we read today the Bible gives instruction on how we should communicate with others. God's word says our words should always be gracious. This means words of that help to motivate and encourage others. That way we will be able to rightly communicate with others and we shall have good response. 

​Don't be abusive or commanding, there is a place of commanding but not always. Not even to an adult (1 Tim 4:12). Have a right motive towards others because your mouth cannot really divorce your heart (Matt 12:33-37). Be a good listener and not in a haste to respond (James 1:19, Proverbs 29:20). Let your word encourage, comfort and edify others (1 Cor 14:3). Then your relationship will always be sweet. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, help me to always have a good heart toward others.

"If you can speak well, you can live well"

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.

ALTERNATIVES

ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV      It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.

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.
