  A BELOVED Romans 9:23-26  Devotional:- “I will call them my people who are not my people, and her beloved who was not beloved.” (V. 25) When a man lacks true lovers around him, he is bound to go through some frustrating experiences and discouragement. During the period of challenges, you will know that even those who say they love you are rather pretenders who come around you only for what they will get from you. When a man is going through a trying situation, people you expect to come around and show some love and level of understanding sometimes desert him. If this is what is happening to you at the moment, I need to bring to your awareness that God truly loves you. He calls you his beloved. God has a special love for you. He fully demonstrated this by allowing His son to die on the cross for your sake (John 10:11). Do you know that this is not ordinary? He really loves you. He is planning for you more than you can ever imagine? Do you know that all that God is doing both ...

MENTALITY OF DELAY

MENTALITY OF DELAY

Scripture Reading: Proverbs 13:5-18
Devotional:- “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life” (V. 12)

    A strong weapon in the hand of the enemy to discourage many people is the mentality of delay. We don't always consider the God factor when we think of timing. Though we often don't have anything to do to alter divine agenda, yet we have delay mentality to explain it away. There is no one that feel delayed that will not be discouraged.

The word of God says ‘when hope is differed it makes the heart sick’ But when the heart is sick such life will be sick. That is why, we need to strongly consider what is happening and what to do when we feel delayed instead of getting discouraged.

Delay may actually be as a result of the activities of the enemy. But when we have put our strength of faith together and are yet not able drive through, we the need to know that we are delayed for some reasons. It could be because God want us to grow stronger. It could be because we are not able to manage what we are expecting or we are not in the right timing for it (Deuteronomy 8:2-3). No one should relax in delay, yet no one should break his /her faith in God because of delay.

In God's way sometimes we have to wait for His promises. When we have done all we need to do (Hebrew 6:12). Let us humble ourselves to take to instructions from the Lord and obey Him (1 Peter 5:6). Don't tear down your Christians life in compromise. Encourage yourself. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me in my waiting time.

“HE THAT WILL NOT WAIT WILL WASTE”

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.

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.
