OVERFLOWING PROSPERITY

  OVERFLOWING PROSPERITY Zechariah 1:13-21 Devotional:- “Again proclaim, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: "My cities shall again spread out through prosperity; The LORD will again comfort Zion, And will again choose Jerusalem'"” (V.17) NKJV At the end of the year, God intends to prosper and supply you with great and pleasant riches (Psalms 65:11). When someone is not prospering in life, everything about him will look odd. When a person is not prosperous, there are so many things responsible. It might be that he is not working in God’s knowledge and understanding; it could also be that he is not working in God’s covenant. This is paying your tithe, offering, blessing the poor, and taking care of your parent, children and men of God. It could also be that he is not faithful to his staff. Such disobedience makes God remove man’s prosperity and set a devourer to his life till he learn his lesson (Joel 2:25, Haggai 1:6-11). But the word of God is powerful, sharper tha...

CASTING YOUR CARES

CASTING YOUR CARES

SCRIPTURE: 1 PETER 5:5-11
DEVOTIONAL: “casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” (Vs. 7).

    In this world, people have problems; one burden or the other, a challenge or the other or one need or the other. Despite all these problems, you must not allow yourself to be weighed down. If you do, making progress will become very difficult. That is why God has given us the platform of prayers.

In the Scripture for today, we are taught to always cast our burdens on Jesus Christ because He cares for us. One of the things we do during prayer time is to cast our burdens before the Lord. The word ‘cast’ means to pass it over to God in prayers. God does not expect us to carry more than we can bear. He is our father and our helper (Psalms 46:1). It will therefore be very wrong to carry the burden of life alone (1 Cor. 10:13).

When you cast a need to God in prayers, don’t keep carrying the burden. If you do, then it means you have not cast the burden upon Jesus. Whatever you commit into His hand will be perfected (II Tim. 1:12). Therefore, be willing to always cast your burden in prayers. God will take over and your life will be made beautiful to His glory. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to always cast my burdens on you.

“A BURDEN CAST UNTO GOD IS A BURDEN RESOLVED”.

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.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "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” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14).

Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
