GOOD REPORT

  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

ASKING AMISS

ASKING AMISS

SCRIPTURE: JAMES 4:1-6
DEVOTIONAL:- “You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures” (Vs. 3).

    One of the reasons some believers ask and not receive is that they ask amiss. To ask amiss is to ask with a wrong or negative motive. Our intention cannot be hidden from the Lord. Though, we are human, God remains God. The flesh in us sometimes want to have worldly pleasures and it is not wrong. It is only wrong when it is contrary to the purpose of God because it becomes a sin afterwards.

Pleasure mentality makes a man irresponsible. Most of the sinful acts in our community today are perpetrated in the quest for pleasure. This is the reason why some people engage in extra marital affairs. The truth is that, as children of God, we are created for His pleasure as well as the things of the kingdom (Rev. 4:11).

Friend, always x-ray your motives before you ask God for anything in prayer, so that your prayers will not be hindered. Whatever you are asking for, whether in your life, family, work, church, etc. the motive should be to use it for the glory of God. Everything you do should be done to bring glory to God (1 Cor. 10:31). As you do that, your prayers will always be answered. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to always have the right heart before you

“THE BEAUTY OF PRAYER IS THE ANSWER”.
