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...

WAITING FOR STRENGTH

WAITING FOR STRENGTH

Isaiah 40:25-31
Devotional:- "But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint". (V. 31) 

    In the pursuit of our success, we are bond to face the unexpected. Some challenges that we may not ever envisage, yet when you are strong you will keep driving on. Weaknesses will not be able to stop you or weigh you down. That is why we must learn to renew our strength in our God. When others are down we shall be strong to stand. The word of God says they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength.

To wait on the Lord could mean to separate time to receive His guide. To wait on the Lord means to allow Him to guide our path. To wait on the Lord mean to honour God as our source of light and strength. Whenever we wait on the Lord, He will always guide us with His word. He will always reveal His counsel to us. He will always show us the way out.

Friend, you are not made to be strong without God. Always remember that you are a spirit being. When your spirit is disconnected from God you are slipping into weaknesses. God is the all sufficient strength. All power in heaven and earth is giving unto Him. He cannot grow weary or weak. Connecting with Him will make you live above weariness. As a child of God, make it a lifestyle to separate time to be with Him and He will guide you to strength always by the revelation of His words. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to be wise to always wait on you

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.
