GOOD NEWS

  GOOD NEWS Proverbs 25:20-28 Devotional:- “As cold water to a weary soul, So is good news from a far country.” (v.25) NKJV One of the things you must embrace to retain a life of joy is good news. These are news or information about what the Lord has done and what He is doings, e.g. news of His redemptive work, news of provision for divine healing, promotion, increase, abundant joy, breakthrough, etc. This is to hear or read testimonies of victory and success of others, and then you are drawing closer to your own testimony. It is important that you recognise one of the devices of the devil today, and this is by promoting bad news. These are news of evil, accidents, and disasters happening all over the world. It is really an advanced trick of the enemy to steal people’s joy. Bad news weakens people’s faith and confidence. It makes men believe that God cannot help them overcome evil. So, these breed fear and doubt in the human heart. If you like to be strong and live your life in joy...

FOLLOWING HIS STEPS

FOLLOWING HIS STEPS

Scripture: 1 Peter 2:18-25
Devotional:- “For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps” (v.21) NKJV

    Discipleship is following the master. If we are going to be the disciples of Jesus, we must be willing to follow the steps of Jesus. This is what we should do in every aspects of our lives.

The world around us does not know the Lord, so, to make them our example will be totally wrong. That is why the way of the Lord will be odd to the ungodly. You must not emulate anyone but only those who are followers of Christ.

To be able to follow the steps of Jesus we must learn the details of His ways. This is by daily studying the word of God, to learn His ways. This way, the Holy Spirit will help us realize our wrong paths and we always make the choice of following the master. Ask, at any point of decision taken, what will Jesus do in this situation? Often time, the steps of Jesus will be different to the human approach and choices. It may even look unprofitable, but that is what will please the Lord to make us enjoy the blessing of God (Proverbs 14:12; Isaiah 55:8-12). Getting addicted to the steps of the master put you in continuos blessings of the master (Matthew 6:33). It is time to step out of worldliness into godliness. Peace

Prayer- Lord, give me the courage to always follow your ways.

“ God’s ways are often opposite of  man’s ways”

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.
