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...

RELATIONSHIP MATURITY

RELATIONSHIP MATURITY

SCRIPTURE: 1 PETER 3:7-12
DEVOTIONAL:- “Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered”.  (Vs. 7) 

    One other factor that we have to be careful about is our relationships. Our relationships are meant to make our lives better (Eccl. 4:9-12). Our relationships are expected to help our lives because they are suppose to give us good companionship that will take us out of loneliness. 

We need to be careful about our relationships so that the devil doesn’t make it a companionship of bitterness, anger, strife and malice. Sometimes, some people are so wounded by their spouses that they find it very difficult to forgive them. This can cause hindrances to prayers if not properly managed.

In our scripture for today, we are instructed to live in understanding with our families. This means that we need to know one another's weaknesses and strength. We need to understand the diversity in one another's view of life. It is on this ground that tolerance and endurance will make us stay together. We will also patiently grow in love and harmony. You must build a good relationship so that you do not carelessly allow your relationship to hinder your prayers. Always live with your spouse or with people in understanding. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to be mature to enjoy my relationships.

“RELATIONSHIP CAN MAKE OR MAR, DEPENDING ON YOUR ATTITUDE”

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.

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.
