  JOY IN PRAYERS I Samuel 2:1-10 Devotional:- “And Hannah prayed and said: "My heart rejoices in the LORD; My horn is exalted in the LORD. I smile at my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.” (V. 1) NKJV We often fall into depression when we look around us, and all we see are unanswered prayers. It becomes worse when you are despised and mocked for that thing that you are looking up to God for. Hannah was like that, a depressed and unhappy woman. What was Hannah’s secret that made her proclaim to all that “my heart rejoices in the Lord”? 1. She decided to look away from her oppressor 2. She went to God in prayer, pouring her sorrow to God.  3. She made a vow to give God the child 4. She left the presence of God, believing God answers prayer. Hannah made good her vow, and her joy was full. Are you depressed? Pour your heart to God, make a vow to him, and you will see him answer your prayers and your joy will Come. Prayer: Lord, help me to look up to you, not look down o...

WHY BEING LIKE CHRIST

Scripture: Luke 14:25-27
Devotional:- “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children,
brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (v.26) NKJV

    There is a strong need to know the reason we are to be like Jesus. When purpose is not known abuse is inevitable. Everyone we see in the world is either living to be like christ or like the world (John 17:16).

At creation God made us to be like Him (Genesis 1:27). His desire is that we are like Him in attitude and in character. This is because His attitude are wisdom. Attitude for our success in this world (Deuteronomy 4:6). God’s wisdom are prevailing wisdom. His wisdom is not the same to human wisdom (Isaiah 55:8). He wants us to be like Him because attitude make us win where there’s are defeated (Luke 16:10-12). His attitude makes us stand out as a light and example on our world (Matthew 5:16). His attitude make us to be put in charge and have dominion (Genesis 39:2-4). His attitude qualify us for more (Luke 16:11).

Friend becoming like christ is a major reason you are on earth. To be changed to the life style of heaven (Matthew 7:20-23). You as a child of God must therefore put in your strength by the help of the Holy Spirit to be like Jesus in love and obedience. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to be like Jesus.

“if you are truly His son or daughter, you will be like Him”

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 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.
