  SPECIAL CHILDREN Proverbs 23:15-25  Devotional:- “Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be zealous for the fear of the LORD all the day” (V.17) NKJV Today, the lives of children in most nations are becoming a great trouble. Many parents have lost control of their children. But in the midst of these hopeless situations of the future generation, yet some children allow the word of God to rule their lives, such children have the fear of God in them. These are children who keep a wise heart and who have learnt the right use of their lips. Who don’t open their lip to speak just anything but the truth and wisdom (Proverbs 23:16). These are children who don’t envy the way of sin, nor do they get themselves involved in the sinful nature of this generation. Rather, they fear the Lord, and this affects everything they do (Proverbs 23:17). Most of the youths of this day go into untimely relationships and cheating everywhere because of fear of failure and fear of tomorrow. But these p...

UNDERSTANDING OTHERS

1 Peter 3:1-7
Devotional:- "Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered".  (V.7)

    A major reason that can make us to live together in love is understanding each other. If we don't have the patience to understand others, we will conclude too early over issues and we may always be wrong. So, we need to identify areas we need to understand with people. Hasty decisions in relationship will always be wrong.

The character of true love is to let us understand that we are not wired the same way. Men are different from women. Some people are introverts while others are extroverts, some are inward and deep thinker (phlegmatic), others are outward, they have easy and sharp expression (Sanguine). Some are heady (choleric) and some enjoy working on details (Melancholic). These differences in our creation with our background make us, think and behave differently. It will take understanding for us to live together.

To live with each other with understanding, we must know that each one is created good (Genesis 1:31) Please understand that there is something good about each unique creation, though there may also be something not too good. Every nature has advantage and disadvantage. In understanding let us celebrate the good and keep praying and helping each other to grow in the disadvantage part. Please understand that others can not be like you. So tolerate them in maturity. Please understand that it will take time for people to grow or change so be patient because all change is possible. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, teach me to understand with others.

“Your understanding with people makes them to cooperate with you”

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.
