HOUSE HIM

  HOUSE HIM Proverbs 23:19-28  Devotional:- “My son, give me your heart, And let your eyes observe my ways.” (V. 26) NKJV No man can actually have the best of God until you are really ready to house Him. As a man that married a woman will have to house her so also in Christ, though He is our husband yet we have to house Him (Ephesians 5:28-29). The scripture we read today is the wise counsel of God to us as His son, saying “… son give me your heart.” This is because until you give your heart to a lover you cannot totally have the enjoyment of the fill of His love. You will observe that when a man is truly in love, his entire mind is rapped into the love for his beloved. He cannot help longing for him. Some will even have the picture with them always and anywhere. Just to see it and feel loved. A true lover will always long for their beloved. He does not stay late or long outside because the beloved is in the house waiting. Friend, do you really love God. Does His love fill you...

FAVOUR

Scripture Reading: Psalms 5:1-12
Devotional:- “For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield” (V. 12) NKJV

    Everyone loves to be favored. And favour is a great virtue that makes life beautiful. To be favored is to be given preferences. It is to be given honour or to be considered where one is not qualified. It is an Act of kindness given to someone that does not deserve it.

When things turn terrible and expectations seems blocked, what a man need is favour. The word of God says “God will bless the righteous and the with favour He will surround them”. This means a man must be righteous to enjoy the favour of God.

Hence, to enjoy divine favour, we must obtain the righteousness of God. This demand that we claim the cleansing of our life by the blood of Jesus and remain in Christ (2Corinthians 5:17). Been in Christ makes us a new creature. Then, we become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2Corinthians 5:21). This righteousness is by faith in the work of the cross. But we must abide in Christ to retain it. This is when we can claim the favour of God to work in our ways. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, let your righteousness give me access to your favour.

“GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A CLOTH YOU MUST SEE ON YOU TO OBTAIN FAVOUR”

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.

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.
