TIME OF CELEBRATION

  TIME OF CELEBRATION  2 Samuel 6:11-23 Devotional:- “Then David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod” (V. 14) NKJV As much as this season is tagged with much celebration, the enemy often tries to see how he could poison the joy of many people to remove them from the list of people who will celebrate. It will be wisdom for you to know that happiness and sorrow are a choice. I will advise you to choose to rejoice in hope and leave sorrow for the enemy (Romans 5:22). In the scripture we read today, David and all the people were in a mood of celebration because of the advent of the ark of the Lord. But a lady could not see what was worth celebrating, and she took offence at David’s elegant celebration. And she remains barren till her death. Friend, if the coming of the ark of the Lord is sufficient to lose celebration, how much more the coming of Christ, the Son of God. Don’t let the devil push you to sorrow corner in a time like this.

LOVING GOD SUPREMELY

LOVING GOD SUPREMELY

Scripture: Matthew 10:34- 39

Devotional:- "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me" (v.3) NKJV

    Living in love demand that we take good care of people around us. That is a great one. But the word of God introducing to us in the scripture we read today a new dimension of love which is to love God supremely. This is by loving God above all other persons.

To love God supremely is to choose to do His will when there is a clash of interest between loving people and God. It means we have to choose to love God above all other persons. In loving God supremely, we have chosen to love man the way God wants us to love people. In other word the love of God become a pattern for our love life. We refuse to love the way the world teaches us to love. The word of God teaches us to be kind, forgive, endure etc (1 Corinthians 13:4-7).

Many people live in the bondage of people's opinion. But we must live in God’s opinion. This is the reason you don't allow anyone to come between you and God. You must ask for the wisdom of God to handle this when it is between God and your parents or spouse, your boss or senior ones. You must learn to love God above all. A woman may have parents, but she should know that she must submit to her husband above them to keep her home (Ephesians 5:22-24). So also we must obey Jesus to keep our lives with God. Peace.

Prayer:- Lord, give me the wisdom and courage to make you first

“Whatever is first is the god”

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.
