  GOOD SHEPHERD John 10:11-16  Devotional:- "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gave his life for the sheep”. (V. 11) Shepherds are one of the most caring people on earth. They value the lives of the sheep. They risk their life many times to save the life of the sheep. They follow the sheep wherever they go and lead them To green grass where they enjoy fresh food for their nourishment (Psalms 23:1-6). Their presence comforts and secures the sheep. They cannot tolerate the loss of any of them. So they watch over it so dearly. If anyone is missing, they take pains to look for it till they find it, and when it is found, they celebrate it (Luke 15:4-7). So also is the love of Jesus to you. He is your good shepherd. That is why He laid down His life for you. He died that you might live. He cares for you (I Peter 5:7). He cannot afford to see you in suffering. Whatever you are passing through now is for your glory (Romans 8:18). Everything shall turn to your testimony (Luke...

ENTHRONE HIM

ENTHRONE HIM 

Scripture Reading: Psalms 22:1-11
Devotional:- “But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel” (V. 3)

     One of the major reasons we should always praise God is to enthrone Him over our lives. It is where God is praised that He will reign and rule over. This is because if God is not ruling over a heart, devil through flesh will be ruling there. A heart ruled by God will always be guided and influenced by God. That is why it is only those who are ruled by the spirit of God that are sons of God (Romans 8:14)

The word of God says, God is enthroned in the praises of Israel. This simply means, you give the throne of your heart to God when you are living a praiseful life. This means, living a praiseful life makes you enjoy the rulership of God over your life and situations. The word of God says in the presence of God, there is fullness of joy (Psalms 16:11). So, when a heart is full of joy, then, God is then welcome and can rule there. Joy and praises are the oxygen of God and He cannot do without it. That is why heaven keep praising God.

Friend, please know that just as joy enthrone God, sorrow also enthrone the devil. Therefore, make your choice to live a praiseful life and God’s rulership will be over your life. He will rule over your family, your career and your businesses. This means He will be the controller and He must always be obeyed. That way, there will be no throne for the devil over such life any more. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to enthrone you alone over my heart

“THE ONE YOU ENTHRONE DETERMINES YOUR DESTINATION”

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 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.
