  PALMS OF HIS HAND Isaiah 49:14-20  Devotional:- “See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.” (V.16) NKJV Sometimes in the course of the journey of life, we look at ourselves and ask questions. Who created me? Why am I created? Such times make life look not worth living; ungodly men at such times could consider death as a better option than living. When they see others laughing, they ask, what is making them laugh? Friend, Your laughter will soon come. Do you know that you are a special creature of God? The scripture we read today said you are inscribed in the palms of God’s hand. That means he loves you and is not willing to forget you. In Isaiah 49:15, He said, others could forget you, but He will not. When a man is in love with a woman, they take the pictures of each other all around in their books, bags and even in their bible. They look at the picture and have a feeling of love. They are never ashamed to show it to others. T...

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.

“THE MOMENT YOU ALLOW A SEED, YOU HAVE ALLOWED THE FRUITS”

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.

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.
