  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...

HELPING OTHERS TO GROW

HELPING OTHERS TO GROW

Ephesians 5:25-33
Devotional:- "that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word". (V. 26)

    A major reason God brings people together, either in groups, fellowship, or marriage is that we might help each one to grow. So mature person don't put on the negative in relationship but help others to grow. A relationship where people are not growing, they will be groaning.

To help each other grows demand so much of maturity and patience. The word of God says “that we may be certified and cleansed”. This will demand understanding the weaknesses and strength of each one to know why people behave the way they do. If we keep getting angry at each other, we will not be able to help ourselves. If we try to avoid each other, we will only postponed the good. 

To help each other grow and be better, we need to understand that human being are spirit who lives in a body. So you need a word of the Spirit to get to their heart for a true change. That is why the Bible says”we can cleanse people by the washing of the water through the word. Please, create time of fellowship where the word of God can be shared. Pray before you share the word. It is the work of the Holy Spirit. You can hardly change any one (Zechariah 4:6; Hebrews 4:12). Shouting or fighting or being angry does not. The Holy Spirit can change anyone when we do our part to create the atmosphere of peace and love.

PRAYER: Lord, make me an instrument of change for others.

“IF PEOPLE DON’T CHANGE FOR BETTER AROUND YOU THEN YOU NEED TO CHANGE“

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.
