  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

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.

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.
