PRETENDING

  PRETENDING Proverbs 13:1-10 Devotional:- “There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing; And one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches” (v.7) NKJV One other instrument of the devil to steal people’s joy is to fill their hearts with pretence. To pretend is to behave or talk like, or put yourself in a status, that you are not. It is to use what you don’t have to impress people who do not like you. It is to give people a false impression about you. This always results in a show of shame and sorrow. In the scripture we read today, there is the picture of a poor man who pretended to be rich. Who is he deceiving? Today you will see some people borrowing to spray at a party. Some will arrive at a beer parlour and ask everybody to be served, while at home, there is no food, and children's school fees are yet to be paid. Some are known to be very good outside to their secretaries, receptionists and the like, while at home they don’t have any credibility (Proverbs 12:9, Job 2...

WHAT IS PRAISES

WHAT IS PRAISES

Scripture Reading: Psalms 92: 1-15
Devotional:- “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High” (V. 1)

    Praises is an act of fellowshipping with God to give Him honour and glory. Praises is the act of humbling self to fellowship with God. It is recognizing God as the maker and the owner of all things. It is allowing God to take the glory in all things (1 Corinthians 10:31). Praises is an act of total submission to God for His glory (Isaiah 42:8).

The word of God says it is good to give thanks and praises to God the most high. Most people see the goodness of praises for their own profit and not from the purpose of God. So, praises look like what they do to enjoy. Thank God for the privileged of musical instrument and good music but the best of praises are when our heart can appreciate Him in all things (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

Praises is the act of giving what God need to Him to give man the best. Praises is what open the door of the heart of man to God. Praises is what connect God into the situation of man. Praises is an act of man handling over their battle to God (2 Chronicles 20:20-25). It is humbling self to allow God to step into your matter. It is permitting the host of heaven to work in our situation. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me grace to be humbled to always give you praise

”IN PRAISE MAN AND GOD ARE UNITED”

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.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
