FORGIVING YOURSELF

  FORGIVING YOURSELF Luke 22:54-62  Devotional:- “So Peter went out and wept bitterly.bitterly.” (V.62) NKJV Before a man can begin to enjoy the expressive love of God in his life, he must learn the act of self-forgiveness. Self-condemnation is always a terrible permission for the devil to take over in the life of a believer. This can make him lose his self-worth in God’s presence. It can make a believer lose his authority in Christ. It can make a believer lose his joy and build an environment of sorrow. And you need to know that the environment of sorrow removes from you the presence of God. He only dwells where there is fullness of joy (Psalms 16:11). Unforgiveness can make a man build an atmosphere of fear and then permit the presence of demons. This also breeds discouragement and frustration and makes the life of its victim miserable. The wonderful thing in the scripture we read today is that, though Peter denied Christ publicly and committed a grievous sin, he did not let...

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

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.
