SETBACK

  SETBACK Genesis 39:10-21 Devotional:- “Then Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison” (v.20) NKJV Most people do not yet understand that what we call a setback, a lot of time is a set-up to set us to our top. Setback, as viewed by people, is demotion, but it is rather an opportunity to retreat and re-fire for greater victory. When the purpose of a thing is not known, men are bound to abuse it. Today, we read about Joseph, who was thanking God for being promoted from a slave to a house overseer. He always tried to put his best into his assignment, and by this, he always had joy. At this time, the enemy wanted to damage his testimony by the temptation of sin, but he stood his ground for God (2 Timothy 2:22). But then he faced something like a demotion to prison. This looks like an act of wickedness from God that he was trying to please, but Joseph knew that there is a price for righteo...

FAILURE MENTALITY

FAILURE MENTALITY

Numbers 13:21-33
Devotional:- "Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it." (V. 31)

    We must be very careful not to live with failure mentality. It is true that anyone can fail in one thing or the other but this does not write off our chances of becoming successful. So many people think when they talk sincerely of the level of their weaknesses they will then be approved by God. Some of us think we will be pitied by people and they will help us. If, you turn yourself to beggar no one will take you serious.

God instructed Moses the servant of the Lord to send spy to the land of cannan which he has promised to their father to give them. The spy team have failure mentality. They cannot see the ability of God to help them. They saw their enemy but they cannot see their God who is able to give them victory.

Friend, don’t write off your course. You can develop the ability to succeed by trusting God to help you. Stop thinking or talking failure. You can do all things when Christ give you strength (Philippians 4:13), pick up yourself again. Sit down to meditate on your way to the top. Trust in God again. Stop seeing impossibilities. Start to see God of all possibility. The Israelites were destroyed because of their doubt. You will not be destroyed. You will succeed. Peace!

Prayer: Lord strengthen me to succeed

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.
