  JOYFUL COMPANION  Luke 1:37-45 Devotional:- “For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy” (v.44) NKJV We must know that sooner or later, we will always look like the people we are moving with. God’s word says, he that walks with the wise shall be wise and the companion of fools shall be destroyed (Proverbs 13:20). This means that what we gain from the surroundings of our associates has a very strong influence upon our life. If a man walks with people who don’t know or appreciate joy, he may not also experience joy. We read about the visitation of Mary to Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. Since two of them carry unique children of divine significance, they both have the Spirit of God in them. This brings about a joyful effect. As soon as Elizabeth heard the voice of Mary, the baby leaped for joy. You therefore need to understand that the richest place you need to seek to be is where God’s children are gathe...

COURAGE

Scripture Reading: Joshua 1:1-9 NKJV
Devotional:- “Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go” (V. 7)

    A major virtue in the life of every conqueror is the virtue of courage. This is an act of having faith in one’s ability to face a challenge or situation. A timid can achieve nothing. That is why the word of God said, God has not given us the Spirit of timidity (2 Timothy 1:7). It is our meditation upon the testimony of the word of God that births courage in us (1 Samuel 17:36, Joshua 1:8).

To be encouraged is to locate back your courage. You need to know the source of courage to succeed and overcome in this wicked world. Those who do not know the way of courage will be defeated in every battle of life. In the scripture we read today, God commanded Joshua to be courageous. He showed him the way to courage, which is by meditating in the word of God. It is the information we meditate on that can instill courage in us to act.

Courage is a conviction in our mind of the ability in us to conquer. It is a product of information in which we put our confidence. It is a conclusion in our heart about our strength. That is why our courage should be in the word of God. That is the only sure word (2 Peter 1:19). The ability of the Holy Spirit is in you. You only need to fan it to flame by meditating the word of God (2 Timothy 1:6). And your courage will grow again. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, encourage me by your word

“COURAGE IS A DRIVE IN OUR MIND TO PUSH US TO ACTION”

Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
