WAITING ON THE LORD

WAITING ON THE LORD 2 Samuel 5:1-10 Devotional:- “David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years” (v.4) NKJV One of the good virtues of God we must always appreciate is His faithfulness. God is not a man that will lie; whatever He has said in His word, He is able to do and He shall do. You can always plug yourself into His promises as much as you work in His covenants. I always tell people never to think God’s word is written only to some specific persons we hear or read about in the Bible. The word of God is the standard practice and programme of God. They were only privileged to be the ones to receive the word at their time, but God is still the same, and so is His word. In claiming the word of God, you must learn to be able to patiently wait. People who will retain their joy must add this virtue to their life (Hebrews 6:12). Our scripture today told us of the installation of David as king, but that was a promise he received from God when he was about 1...

PRESENCE OF GOD

PRESENCE OF GOD

Scripture Reading: Acts 16:20-31
Devotional:- “Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed” (V. 26)  

    Wherever God is praised, His presence will always be there. This is because He inhabit the praises of His people (Psalms 22:3). God gives attention to His praises. In other words, praises is an invitation that God cannot ignore, especially when it comes from a right heart (Psalms 24:3-4). If any one wants to keep the presence of God with him or herself, the secret is praises.

Paul and Silas were on their mission field for God in Philippi. As the custom of the devil is, he entered some people to stand against them and they were put in prison. But in the middle of the night, Paul and Silas prayed and began to sing praises unto God. This action brought the presence of God into the prison. The prison foundation began to shake. Since no door could lock against God, all the prison doors were flared opened and all the prisoner’s chain were loosed (2 Corinthians 3:17).

Friend, all this happened because the servants of God prayed and sang praises to God. The presence of the Lord came into the prison and set everyone free. Whatever cage of life you may find yourself, learn to embark on praise galore. The Lord will step into your situations and destroy all factors of limitations. The Lord will fight for you and no one will hinder you anymore. Peace!

 PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to praise you in my situation.

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.
