  LIBERTY Acts 16:16-30 Devotional:- “But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them” (v.25) NKJV One of the greatest results of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in a believer is that he is set free from the cages of life. When a man is in bondage of life, he cannot have full strength in him. But even when a man who has gained his liberty by the Spirit of God is bound in prison, the joy in him cannot be hindered (Acts 16:23-25). In the scripture we read today are the events of Paul and Silas, the apostles of Jesus, who were imprisoned for preaching the good news. But though they are in prison, the Holy Spirit has set their heart free, so physical prison cannot stop the joy of God in their life. And since their heart is set free by the Holy Spirit, the natural bondage cannot hold them (2 Corinthians 3:17). You as a believer, must be careful not to allow anything to bind you when Christ has set you free (Galatians 5:1)....

ALWAYS 

Scripture Reading: Psalms 113:1-3
Devotional:- “From the rising of the sun to its going down The Lord's name is to be praised” (V. 3)

 

   The praises of God should be 'always' in our mouth. A mouth that is not always praising God is likely praising people, situation or problems. Remember that God created you for His praise (Isaiah 43:19-21). Remember that you are saved to praise God (1 Peter 2:9). This is because it is in praise that God can be part of your life. It is in praises that He will be enthroned in your heart and in all your situations (Psalms 22:3). It is in praises that God can take over the battles of your life (2 Chronicles 20:20-24).

The word of God says, we should praise God from the rising of the sun to it’s going down. This simply means from morning till night. The word of God says, in everything, we should keep giving thanks to God (1 Thessalonians 5:18). This is because we need the presence of God 24/7 round the clock. This is because, God wants to always inspire us to action for our progress and keep leading us into His plan and purpose.

King David who understands the importance and the power of praise said, he praises God seven times a day (Psalms 119:164). Praising God always means you are conscious of His presence with you and giving Him praises (Psalms 16:8). Thank you Lord! You are worthy of my praises! I am grateful! etc. are words of praises anytime, anywhere. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, put your words of praises in my mouth always

“YOU CAN’T BE LIFTING GOD AND BE GOING DOWN”

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.

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.
