GRUMBLING

  GRUMBLING I Corinthians 10:1-13 Devotional:- “nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer” (v.10) NKJV The act of grumbling is a means through which the enemy carefully removes the joy of many. Grumbling is a silent reaction to an instruction or a responsibility you must undertake. It is not feeling free to express one's mind about what one is satisfied with. People grumble against God about their challenges. They also grumble against their masters or bosses in the office. When the children of Israel were going through the wilderness, they were faced with several needs on their way, and each time they tried to shift blame to God, who had mercy on them and organised to put them in Canaan. When they lack water, they grumble; when it is meat, they grumble, and God sent the angel of destruction to destroy them. It is important to note that instead of grumbling under your breath or in your workplace, you should find a way to express your mind so ...

BITTERNESS

SCRIPTURE: HEBREWS 12:12-17
DEVOTIONAL:- “Looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled” (Vs. 15)

    Bitterness is an evidence of unforgiving heart. When we don’t forgive, we nurture hatred in our hearts against our fellow brothers or sisters. You know that the devil always wants to make us bitter, so that we don’t manifest love as the Bible commands us (Luke 10:27). This is why we must not heed the advice of the devil as children of God.

Whenever people offend us, we must find a place in our hearts to forgive them. If we don't, we will start ruminating on what they have done to us. In the course of doing this, the devil will start measuring the length and breadth of the offence. As he does this, the motive of the action (offence) that was not recognized before will be revealed to us. This is simply to complicate the matter and make it impossible for us to forgive so that when we see our offenders, we will become angry and bitter.

Friend, whenever we give room for bitterness in our heart, we disallow God from answering our prayers. God’s word instructs us to pursue peace with all men if we must see the Lord. Now that you understand the process of the development of bitterness, don’t ever let it happen in your life. Ask for the grace of the Holy Spirit for your liberty and your prayers shall be answered. Peace!

Prayer: Holy Spirit, help me to always overcome bitterness in my life.

“THE GOAL OF BITTERNESS IS TO MAKE A LIFE BITTER”

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.
