HOUSE HIM

  HOUSE HIM Proverbs 23:19-28  Devotional:- “My son, give me your heart, And let your eyes observe my ways.” (V. 26) NKJV No man can actually have the best of God until you are really ready to house Him. As a man that married a woman will have to house her so also in Christ, though He is our husband yet we have to house Him (Ephesians 5:28-29). The scripture we read today is the wise counsel of God to us as His son, saying “… son give me your heart.” This is because until you give your heart to a lover you cannot totally have the enjoyment of the fill of His love. You will observe that when a man is truly in love, his entire mind is rapped into the love for his beloved. He cannot help longing for him. Some will even have the picture with them always and anywhere. Just to see it and feel loved. A true lover will always long for their beloved. He does not stay late or long outside because the beloved is in the house waiting. Friend, do you really love God. Does His love fill you...

DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE

DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE

Ecclesiastes 3:1-11
Devotional:- “To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven” (V. 1)

    All of us on the earth are made by God for a purpose, your vision talked about your assignment but your purpose talked about the reason for your vision. It talks about the motive behind your vision. It talks about the motivation for your running and pursuit on earth. Since it is motive that motivates, then motive must be clear to please the Lord.

The word of God says there is a purpose for all things in the world. It is walking in the purpose that makes life meaningful. It is the purpose of your creation that gives your life a righteous focus for effectiveness. It is your life purpose that makes you please the Lord and enjoy the blessings of righteousness (Psalm 5:12). It is the motive of your purpose that makes your life prepared for eternal reward.

Though our vision i.e. our assignments, business or career differs yet our purpose is the same. It is to become our motive for pursuit. They can be summarized into five statements. We are to do all things to bring Glory to God (1 Corinthians 10:31). We are to support the family of God with all we do (Galatians 6:9-10). We are to Grow the attitude of Christ and behave like him in all we do (1 Corinthians 11:1; Matthew 10:25). We are to do all things to be a blessing (Genesis 12:2-3). We are to do all things to draw others to God (Matthew 28:19). When these become your purpose, your endeavour cannot fail. Every venture will be faced with one challenge or the other. But when your purpose is your focus and your motivation, the Lord will stand by you to give you victory (Romans 8:31). Stop making only material gain to be your purpose, then you will start to fulfil your purpose. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to make my purpose my motive

“YOUR MOTIVE WILL DETERMINE WHETHER GOD WILL BE BEHIND YOU OR NOT”

Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.

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.
