TIME OF JOY Philippians 4:1-7 Devotional:- “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again l say, rejoice.” (V. 4) KJV One of the most important and most needed virtues of life is joy. When joy is not in place, many things may not be in place. It is joy that eases a man off the tension of life. It is joy that puts men always in health (Proverbs 17:22). It is joy that destroys our doubt. It is the joy in the Lord that increases our faith. It is joy that refreshes our minds and gives us mental richness. There are many more things that joy does in our lives, yet it looks so scarce in the lives of many. This is because there are not many pleasant situations that will help them rejoice. But you, as a believer, should know that you cannot afford to live in sorrow, for without joy, life will be totally in shambles. It is with joy that we can bring our situation back to life and beauty (Isaiah 12:3). It is the strength of life (Nehemiah 8:10). The coming of Jesus to the world brought the joy that would...

RIGHT COMPANY

Scripture Reading: Act 4:18-31
Devotional:- “And being let go, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them” (V. 23)

  Another beautiful avenue for us to receive the seed of encouragement is by been in the right Company. A company is a group of people you regularly fellowship with. But it becomes a right one when they value celebrate you and among them they always share the words that encourages each other. The company is right because the people there are godly and wisdom focused. In such places, they shared the truth of the word of God and can be supported and corrected when necessary.

The disciples of Jesus were discouraged by the leaders of their nation. They were threatened not to carry out their ministry anymore (Act 4:14-18). But when they returned to their company, they were encouraged.

Friend, stop living alone. You cannot be strong enough to face life alone (Ecclesiastics 4:9-12). You need an encouragement group among the children of God. And coming together will encourage you (Proverb 13:20). They will share with you sincerely and pray with you. This people does not have to be coming to your house regularly or you go to theirs. The purpose is not for material things basically but mutual benefit. God will always position such around you. Be humble to welcome them. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to find my right company

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.
