ALL WORKING TOGETHER

  ALL WORKING TOGETHER 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 Sometimes, because dates and times are rolling, we tend to start to think if the will of God will ever come to pass in our lives again. Some will ask, if God want to do it, why has He not done it all this while? This is a product of us waiting and expecting God to fulfil His promises in our lives within a time frame. And since time is going, we start to nurse some doubt about God’s ability and willingness to fulfil His promises in our lives. If you observe critically, most people come to that state simply because they compare their lives with others. But many of us often forget that God is taking us all the way through a different route to a different destination.  All that we need to do is to be sure that we discover and remain in the purpose of God for our lives. Others might look much ...

MODEST TALK

MODEST TALK

1 Corinthians 4:6-13
Devotional:- "For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?" (V.7)

    When love is talking, he does it modestly and not with boast. To boast is to talk arrogantly. It is to blow ones trumpet. It is to proudly talk about ones achievements. A boaster always wants to prove that he is somebody which he needs not to boast about. There is nothing wrong in talking about your achievements but it has to be done in a matured manner with modesty and not in pride. To boast is not maturity and in most cases it is because of sense of security.

Wherever you find people that boast, there can be no sincerity of love. There will rather be unhealthy rivalry. To always talk with a heart of love, you must humble yourself to know that whatever you have is not really yours because God gave them to you and you will give account of them (2 Corinthians 4:7). You must realize that all you have is a privilege and not a right. Please know that if anyone is bragging, it is a sign of sense of insecurity and immaturity. You need to know that boasting is lording self over other (Mark 10:42-43).

Friend, if you keep talking like the owner of the world, people will resent and resist you because you are not saying the truth. As a teacher or a leader at home or in the public setting, people will not learn from you but resisting you when you talk boastfully. If you are modest in talking, you will have many follower (Proverbs 18:24). Peace.

PRAYER: Holy Spirit, help me to grow above boasting

“A boaster will loose friends, even in his house”

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.
