FLOATING AXE Devotional:- 2 Kings 6:1-7 “So the man of God said, "Where did it fall?" And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float’’ (V.6) NKJV  Sometimes when we read about some great wonders of God in the Bible, something makes us feel it was because the people were very special. But we need to know that they are men of like passion (James 5:17-18). They were just exactly like we are, but they were only men of faith. This makes God to work wonders through them. The sons of the prophet needed a big place of dwelling. So they decide to cut trees to make a new home. Thank God they requested that Elisha should go with them. As they were cutting the trees, the axe head fell into the deep river. And the man of God asked the Holy Spirit for what to do. The Holy Spirit was what they also depended upon, and there was a miracle. Friend, you also have the Holy Spirit. That stick is the word of God. Speak to the sinking situatio...

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”

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.
