  DELIGHT IN THE WORD Psalm 119:97-104         Devotional:- “How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth!” (v.103) NKJV One of the greatest strengths of joy is the Word of God. The truth is that man’s life is a product of the information that he always listen to. If a man always hears about wickedness, he will be wicked. If a man keeps hearing sorrowful news, he will keep having sorrow. But for those who will always commune in the word of God, they will keep their joy by the word of God. This is because the word of God is good news; it’s the joyful news. There is no way you will give yourself to regular drinking from the word of God; that joy will not be produced regularly in you. The word is a sure source of joy. The psalmist says God’s word is sweet not only to him but also to everyone who loves it. The reason why many Christians today still have sorrow despite the Bible in their hand is that it is a book to decorate their shelf a...

BITTERNESS

Scripture Reading: Hebrew 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;” (V. 15)

    It is in the agenda of the enemy of God and man to drive everyone into bitterness of soul. This is because he knows that no bitter soul can enjoy a sweet life. Bitterness of soul is when a soul is filled up with all kind of negative and wrong information. This could be about people, event or a place. A person with a bitter soul assumes that everything and everyone is bad or wrong to him/her.

The word of God instruct us not to allow the root of bitterness in us. This is by identify the seed and disallow the seed in us. The seed of bitterness are negative words of fear and doubts. They are words of hopelessness and confusion. They are sowed when we become jealous and envious of others. It is sowed when you cannot handle others’ progress and we see yourself as not. It is sowed when we struggle with forgiveness or can't let go people. It is sowed when we are proud. It is sowed when we allow a sense of inferiority complex.

Friend, the seed of bitterness is everywhere, you only need to be careful not to make your heart vulnerable for bitterness. For this not to happen to us, we need to fill our heart with the word of faith (Colossians 3:16). Seeing God working all things out for our good (Romans 8:28). Filling our ear with joy of hope in our God and not in man (Philippians 4:4-8). Keep your faith and memory of the presence of God with you (Matthew 28:20). Then you will keep the seed of joy for sweetness of life. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, let only your seed of joy and love be in my heart.

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 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.
