UNMOVED FAITH

UNMOVED FAITH Matthew 15:21-28 Devotional:- “And she said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table" (V.27) NKJV      Sometimes, by the principle of our response to life or obedience to God, we might not have been qualified for some things. But faith can qualify us. That is why Jesus said He has not come for the rich but that the poor may be rich. He has come to remove the barriers in the lives of people and to release them to their destiny.

PRICE OF DISCIPLINE

PRICE OF DISCIPLINE

1 Corinthians 9:19-27
Devotional:- "But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. (V. 27)"

    Part of the price to be paid by anyone who wants to succeed is the price of discipline. Success is highly demanding that only the discipline can make a meaning of it. Most people want comfort. But it should be clear to all that comfort without having to discipline self will later turn to suffering and regrets. That is why Apostle Paul said I discipline my body and bring it under subjection lest when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

There are three lessons from this scripture. Each of us will have to discipline him/her self. This is by training and culturing self to endure in some situation. Each of us should learn to bring our body under subjection.  This is a mentality of “my body can’t have what it wants but what I approve”. This is ruling over your body and not the body ruling you. Each of us should buy wisdom and not sell it (Proverbs 23:23). Be sure you are doer of what you profess. Each of us should be mindful of not been disqualified.

Friend, be willing to pay this price and that is when you can succeed in this world. It take discipline to shun distractions, it take discipline to arise when you don’t feel like. It takes discipline to drive on when the road is rough. It takes discipline to endure to the end. You will succeed. Peace!

Prayers- Lord, Give me a heart of discipline

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.
