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...

LOOKING UNTO JESUS

LOOKING UNTO JESUS

SCRIPTURE Hebrews 12:1-2
Devotional: “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Vs. 2).

    Many people pray to God, yet they cannot see Him. Do you know that seeing is believing? For example, if you don’t see a chair, you will not attempt to sit on it. This can be applied also to praying to God whom you cannot see. This can mean that you are doing something you are not sure of. You can’t see God as you pray and not receive an answer from Him.

The Bible says that, we should look unto Jesus whenever we pray. As we close our physical eyes, we should always open our spiritual eyes so that we can see Jesus on the throne. The word of God tells us that He is seated at the right hand of God. Apostle Stephen saw the Lord at the point of his martyrdom (Acts 7:55-56). Saint Mark saw Him (Mark 16:19), Apostle Paul saw Him (Romans 8:34) and Apostle Peter saw Him (1 Peter 3:22).

Every time you see Jesus on the throne in your imagination, your faith and confidence increases. Sometimes, I arrange two chairs to pray, one for myself and one for Jesus, so that we can discuss face to face. The Bible says that they looked unto Him and were not ashamed (Psalms 34:5). As you look unto Him, your shame shall be converted to honour henceforth in Jesus name (Isa. 45:2) Peace!

Prayer:  Lord, help me to always see you in my prayer time.

“YOU CAN’T SEE JESUS AND NOT RECEIVE FROM HIM”.

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.

Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). 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.
