TIME OF CELEBRATION

  TIME OF CELEBRATION  2 Samuel 6:11-23 Devotional:- “Then David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod” (V. 14) NKJV As much as this season is tagged with much celebration, the enemy often tries to see how he could poison the joy of many people to remove them from the list of people who will celebrate. It will be wisdom for you to know that happiness and sorrow are a choice. I will advise you to choose to rejoice in hope and leave sorrow for the enemy (Romans 5:22). In the scripture we read today, David and all the people were in a mood of celebration because of the advent of the ark of the Lord. But a lady could not see what was worth celebrating, and she took offence at David’s elegant celebration. And she remains barren till her death. Friend, if the coming of the ark of the Lord is sufficient to lose celebration, how much more the coming of Christ, the Son of God. Don’t let the devil push you to sorrow corner in a time like this.

HIGH MINDEDNESS

HIGH MINDEDNESS

Scripture Reading: 1 Timothy 6:11-19
Devotional:- “Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy” (V. 17)

    Another enemy of a praiseful life is being high minded. To be high minded is to be proud, ambitious and dreaming above your capacity. Instead of some people willing to grow gradually, they will want to grow to the top one day. So, people’s definition of breakthrough is growing up in a day. A high-minded man cannot praise God. He will always see God “not good enough” No matter what God might have done for him; God will not deserve his praises.

The word of God says that people with high mind should be warned. Do not trust in money. Put your trust in God who is able to provide all things. What some are looking for will not let them be grateful to God. High mindedness will make a man proud. The word of God says pride goes before destruction (Proverbs 16:18). High minded people want to gather everything to themselves alone (Luke 12:15).

The word of God says we should be happy with what God has given us (1 Timothy 6:6-8). This does not mean that we should not desire more but believe in growing through process and gradual growth. High mindedness will make people carry spirit of heaviness. It will make man step on others to rise. If you humble yourself, God will lift you up (1 Peter 5:6). Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to be victim of pride.

“HIGH MIND WILL AT THE END COME DOWN”

Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
