  THANK HIM FOR ALL Zechariah 4:1-10 Devotional:- “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; His hands shall also finish it and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you” (V. 9) KJV In such a season as this, one of the weapons of the devil to steal the joy of many is discouragement. The enemy will make them see that God has not been good to them. He will make us to think of what God has not done, and not what He has done. He will make us compare ourselves to others and so one will see other people as better.   God can provide all that you need, and He is not mindful or unfaithful to you. He gave you the one you have today, but all that is good for your life. He will also give you if you can wait on Him by faith. Such time like this should challenge us to become better to do better. Every time you are not happy with your current situation, just know that a change is about to take place in your life. It is now you who will determine ...

UNFORGIVING

UNFORGIVING

SCRIPTURE: Matthew 6:5-15
DEVOTIONAL:- “But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses” (Vs. 15)

    Whenever we can’t forgive our fellow brethren, we sin against God. It is very important for us to know that sin hinders our access to the answers of our prayers from the Lord (Psalms 66:18). An unforgiving spirit disallows the liberty of the Holy Spirit in our hearts. It also prevent God from perfecting His work in our lives.

Unforgiving is keeping someone in your heart because he hurts or offends you. It is holding back your love from such people which gives rise to hatred, bitterness and malice. The Bible instructs that we should not allow bitterness to spring up in our hearts for any reason (Hebrews 12:15).

There is no one who cannot be hurt. Sometimes, the hurt can be deeper at different occasions, yet we must forgive and let go as children of God. The reason is that, if we are unforgiving, God will not answer our prayers. It can get so bad that God will also not forgive us. 

When you don’t forgive a child, you put his reward as well as God's reward on hold. To learn forgiveness is to ask for the grace to forgive in prayers and to pray for those who has offended you (Luke 23:34). Whenever you pray for people who have hurt you, you’ve forgiven them (Matt. 5:44). As you do this, your prayers will not be hindered. Peace! 

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to always forgive people who offends me.

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.
