DELAY

  DELAY Proverbs 13:10-20 Devotional:- “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life” (v.12) NKJV Another strong factor militating against the joy of some people today is delay. This is an experience of expectation proving longer in coming than expected. It makes a man afraid or uncertain of what the future holds. It often weakens the faith of people and makes them feel disappointed. The word of God in our scripture today says it brings weariness to the soul. We must realise that weariness given by delay is a hindrance to our receiving from God. The more we allow weariness, the more we may be delayed. It is a trick of the enemy to keep postponing our miracles. That is why the word of God says the just shall live by faith (Romans 1:17). It is also a threat to our joy. The enemy knows that joy produces our physical, mental and spiritual strength, so he always want us to celebrate sorrow (Nehemiah 8:10). Friend, you must therefore be wise to know...

WELCOMING

Genesis 24:60-67
Devotional:- "Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death". (V. 67)

    A fundamental attitude of love is to welcome others. When I say welcoming, I mean accepting other and allowing others to share with us. Several times we will find ourselves among people that we do not anything in common with. One of the first principles of love is to welcome others.

It was a divine assignment for the servant of Abraham to locate a wife for Isaac. He trusted in God and he was successful to bring Rebecca to Isaac. Though meeting her for the first time, Isaac welcomed Rebecca. She was said to be beautiful but it does not mean she was an angel with a perfect body. Isaac threw away all the minuses and welcome Rebecca.

It's a sign of pride when we resent people. We have the right to chose whether to relate with the people or not. We have a right to determine the level we can allow people to go with us in relationship, yet, we are not to be irritated when meeting with people (Romans 5:8). Give people the benefit of doubt to prove their worth. Spouses, please accept yourself and not comparing your spouse to another (2 Corinthians 10:12). There is no greener grass at the other side of the fence. So, looking at other person as better than your spouse is a sign of weaknesses in you. Whatever you want in your spouse, God can help you to put them in place. Celebrate what God has given you and be happy. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, give me a true heart of love

“Every bad person needs a good person to make them good. Be the one”

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.

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.
