  GOOD WILL Luke 2:8-14 Devotional:- “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” (V. 14) NKJV A great blessing of God to humanity at the birth of Christ is goodwill. A nation without it is completely under bondage. They cannot claim, nor ask, nor can they have anything from the Lord except by the common grace (Matthew 5:25). This is what the sons of men are before the coming of the Messiah. Men have been living under the pressure and the punishment of sin and the law. Men were governed spiritually by the law they were never capable of obeying. When Jesus came, then came the time of grace. This brought us into the season of the goodwill of God (Ephesians 2:8). Will is what every father writes to give the right of inheritance to each of the children. Before Christ, God’s will was not approachable for men. It was not favorable for a natural man. But God gave us another will in Christ Jesus. This is what the angel was announcing in verse 14. We refer to it t...

PURPOSE OF PRAISES

Scripture Reading: Isaiah 6:1-7
Devotional:- “And he touched my mouth with it, and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged."” (V. 7)

    God created us to praise Him for the purpose of Him been able to influence us. Every man is influenced by one thing or the other. It is either a man is influenced by the Spirit of God or the spirit of the devil (Job 32:8). At creation we see God pouring Himself into man (Genesis 2:7). God made us to be an influence over all His other creatures. But we can see from the life of Adam and Eve, how the devil came to influence them to sin against God. He seeks to do the same to all man and woman till now.

Isaiah was in the spirit and he saw the Lord (Isaiah 6:1). This was possible because He was in fellowship with God (Psalm 22:3). He saw the angels of God singing Holy, Holy, Holy. Prophet Isaiah said he saw himself unclean, but one of the angels took a coal of fire to touch his lips. That way, God influenced him to be a quality vessel for His glory.

Friend, until God keep influencing you for His glory, life will be with much difficulty. He influenced us by pouring Himself into us (Joel 2:28). He influences us by cleansing us (Isaiah 1:18). He influenced us by instructing us into destiny (Acts 13:2). He influences us by inspiring us to act in faith for achievements (Job 32:8). He influences us to be strong to conquer and to fulfill our destiny (1 Samuel 17:32). All of these acts of influencing happen in the places of fellowship and praises (Acts 13:2). Peace!

 PRAYER: Lord, help me to always enjoy your influences over my life through praises

“ALL MEN IS INFLUENCED BY EITHER GOD OR DEVIL”

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 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.
