PEACE

  PEACE Proverbs 12:15-25 Devotional:- “Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, But counselors of peace have joy” (v.20) NKJV Two virtues often work together, and they are hardly separable; they are peace and joy. You cannot have one without the other. The moment one of them is with you, it will draw the second. This is because they are both products of God’s presence. Wherever the kingdom of God is established either in the house or office, surely peace and joy of the Lord will be present there (Galatians 5:22, Romans 14:17). The scripture we read today said there shall be joy for those who promote peace. Jesus says Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God (Matthew 5:9). And you know that God dwell in the heart of His children (I Corinthians 3:16). You also know that God’s presence commands joy (Psalms 16:11). When you receive God’s grace for joy, peace also follows you. A sorrowful man is a dangerous man. Sorrow promotes violence in the h...

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”

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.
