  WHEN GOD SEEMS DISTANT  Isaiah 8:11-18 Devotional:- “And I will wait on the LORD, Who hides His face from the house of Jacob; And I will hope in Him” (V.17) God is real no matter how anyone feels. Since we are made to worship God whether it is going well or not we must always give all the glory to Him. It is easy to worship God when things are going well, but situations are not always pleasant. That is why we must learn to always give God glory in all situations. The richest of worship is during pains or trails. We must learn to trust God, surrender and love God when we don’t feel his presence. In our scripture today the man of God said ‘’I will trust and place my trust in Him even when God is hidden‘’. True friendship is often tested by distance and inability to communicate. It takes close time and distant time to grow relationship. That is why to mature your relationship with God He will test you with period of seeming separation, feeling abandoned or forgotten.

HOPE

Scripture Reading: Job 14:6-14
Devotional:- "For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And that its tender shoots will not cease” (V.7)

    A man is encouraged when he bounce back to hope. This is an act of reassuring ourselves of the promises of the word of God. We gain encouragement when we remember what the Lord is able to do in our lives. To be hopeful is to have a deep sense of expectations and assurance that what we are trusting God for will come

Job said there is hope for a tree. If it is cut down, at the scent or the smell of water, it will come alive again and bring forth like a plant. How much more man?

Friend, if a tree smell water and come alive, then the water you need to always smell is the word of God (Isaiah 55:10-11; Psalm 19:7-8). If anyone lacks hope, there is nothing he will be able to attain. To build your hope again, you need to take time to meditate upon the testimonies of the doing of the Lord. That is why it is dangerous if a Christian is withdrawing from the fellowship of children of God. There the Lord renews our hope in His word and we are back to courage (Psalm 84:7). Peace

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me by your word to keep my hope alive

“HOPE RESTORED IS COURAGE RESTORED”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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

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.
