WORK IT OUT

  WORK IT OUT Romans 8:18-30  Devotional:- “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” (V. 28). NKJV Due to the time and distance that is involved in our period of challenges, we tend to think it is an eternal race. But that is not true. Whatever has a beginning surely have an end. Therefore, there is an end to everything. And we know the end is always glorious than the beginning (Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:30). The scripture we read today brings us into God’s provision for our beautiful end in every situation and that is why the bible says all things are working together for our good. So no matter the embarrassment of your situation, God’s love letter to you is promising you that it shall work for your good. Do you lose a job or an opportunity? It is for a better one. So you don’t need to die for that. Let the past pass and expect your coming beauty. It doesn’t matter; people may mock you now,...

FORGIVE AND FORGET

FORGIVE AND FORGET

Matthew 6:7-15
Devotional:- "But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses". (V. 15)

    In relationship, a major experience you cannot but do without is offending each other. It is just of human to offend others. We offend each other because of our differences and different view of live. We offend each other because of our weaknesses and our inability to accommodate others.

The word of God teaches us to forgive each other, without that God will not also forgive us. Though, we easily claim that we have forgiven people, but we really don't easily forget. When we struggle to remove our heart from an offense, we have not really overcome it and we can not claim to have forgiven. The memory of the offense can still hurt us.

So, to be able to forgive and forget, you must know that it is a sign of weakness on your side that issues get too hard on you. So, take care of yourself, you also need to know that we view things from different angles and each one try to approve his or her own view, yet, that is not always true. So, mature people consider the view of others. In any way, when we are offended, let's talk about it and apologize to each other. Where that is not possible, let us try to pray for our offender and over time, we will forgive and forget.

PRAYER: Lord, give me grace to forgive and forget.

“There is always a lesson to learn in people offending us”

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.

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.
