JOY IN TRUSTING GOD

  JOY IN TRUSTING GOD Proverbs 16:16-26 Devotional:- “He who heeds the word wisely will find good, And whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he” (V. 20) NKJV Living in doubts, fears, and anxieties cause sadness and sorrows in the lives of people. Sometimes it’s so bad that it leads to depression and ill health. One of the reasons for this is often our inability to trust God in times of need. Whenever there is a delay in our expectations, we easily struggle with our relationship with God.  But when a man trusts in the Lord, he will not see the troubles around, he will only see the promises of God that can never fail; and that will bring great joy, peace and happiness. People around him will wonder what is giving him such joy even in the face of imminent challenges. Beloved God loves you. He cares about you. He has promised to help you (Isaiah 41:10). When you allow Him in your heart, you cannot lose your joy (Psalm 16:11). This is because wherever Jesus is dwelling, joy will alw...

PRESERVED SEED

Scripture Reading: Malachi 2:1-7
Devotional:- “If you will not hear, And if you will not take it to heart, To give glory to My name," Says the Lord of hosts, "I will send a curse upon you, And I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have cursed them already, Because you do not take it to heart” (V. 2)

    The seed of a man or a woman contain the power of the future. A single seed could contain a tree. The trouble in the life of most people is the problem of the corruption of their seed. The devil having known the power of seed to the future and destiny of a man, seeks to always destroy the seed. A man’s labour is his seed for wages. A student time of study is the seed for success in the examination hall. Just like the capital invested plus wise labour are seed for the profit of a business man. Children are also seed for the future of a family.

The word of God says, when people are not praiseful, they allow their blessings to be cursed. When any blessing is cursed, the blessing will definitely turn to a curse. We saw in the scripture that what makes a man's blessing to be cursed is lack of praises. When the presence of God is not with a man at the time of sowing, the seed will be cursed and the harvest will be meaningless.

 Friend, if you want your blessings to be preserved for future bountiful harvest, then, you need to take it to heart to live a praiseful life - a life that is always thankful to God. Time of labour is not always pleasant but a wise man will sow with joy (2 Corinthians 9:7). This is the way to please God in our labour and our future harvest can be guarantee. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, nothing will tamper with my seed of joy in Jesus name.

“PRESERVED SEED IS THE GUARANTEE OF A GREAT HARVEST”

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.
