  DON’T BLAME GOD James 1:12-20 Devotional:- “And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, "God is tempting me." God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else” (V. 13) NLT Today, there is so much confusion the enemy places in the heart of men to make them feel that God hate them. So, when people are under the pressure of the flesh to sin, they say “God is tempting me”. When people are weak, they are going to face temptation through their flesh. It wil be wrong to say God is tempting you with sickness or troubles. Yes, God knows about it but He only allows it when we have been warned repeatedly and we refuse to change. He disciplines, but it is necessary for us to know that God is not the author of evil, that is the work of the devil (Hebrews 12:6; Matthew 4:24).  There is a difference between a test and temptation. To test means to examine or observe if someone is capable of doing something. To tempt means to entice or lure someone into doing some...

GIVING GLORY

Scripture Reading: Psalms 29:1-11
Devotional:- “Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness” (V. 2)

    We are made to give glory to God in all our lives (1 Corinthians 10:31). The glory of God is in His honour and praises. Whenever we are praising God, we are bringing glory to Him. This is a major thing God desire from the sons of men. Among all that the Lord had made, only the falling demons and man that does not always give glory to God. This is because the devil always wants us to lose focus on the importance of God to our lives. So, man prefer the way of sin (Romans 3:23).

The word of God says, we should give unto God the glory due to His name. To give glory to God means, we recognize Him as our maker and owner. He is the maker of everything that is existing (Revelation 4:11). We give glory to God when we praise Him (Psalms 29:2). We give glory to God when we love others that He made (John 13:34-35; 1 John 3:14). We bring glory to God when we grow His attitude and character to be like Him (2 Corinthians 3:18). We give glory to God when we are serving Him with our gifts (1Peter 4:10-11). We bring glory to God when we bring others to God (2 Corinthians 4:15).

Friend, your life will only reflect the beauty of the Lord when you are bringing glory to God. The reason we should bring glory to God is that God might also glorify Himself in us (John 17:4-5). When the glory of God is on you, all that you do will bring testimony and praises to God. And you will be God’s special person. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to bring glory to you in all I do.

“THE MANIFESTATION OF YOUR GLORY IS IN BRINGING GLORY TO GOD”

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.
