SUCCESS YOUR PURPOSE 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Devotional:- “And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing” (V. 8) NLT When a person turns to the Lord, invite Jesus to his/her life, and surrender to Jesus as Lord and saviour, then he/she sincerely becomes a Christian. This is the state many in the church has not attained. Many struggle to surrender their lives to the Lord because they are afraid of failure, not able to trust God to give them success, and their love for the things of this world (1 John 2:15-17). When you sincerely surrender your life to Jesus Christ, your view of success cannot but change. Apostle Paul said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful” (2 Timothy 4:7).

JOY

Scripture Reading: Psalms 16:1-11
Devotional:- “You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (V. 11) NKJV

    Please understand that joy is different from happiness. Joy comes from God and happiness are temporary excitement produced by events or occasion. If you want to live with joy in your heart and in your home. Then, you need to locate the covenant of God for joy.

Remember the word of God which tells us that joy is one of the fruits of the spirit (Galatians 5:22). This is because it is supplied by the spirit of God. The word of God says “where the spirit of the Lord
is, there is that freedom and this produces space for joy (2Corinthians 3:17). Joy is always a manifestation of the presence of God (Psalms 16:11). So, when God is with you, His seed of joy will be produced in your spirit for joy.

Friend, if you want to live with joy, them be a carrier of the presence of God. Wherever His presence is, His joy will be there. In His house and in His heart He dwells. Joy is like the oxygen for God. He cannot do without it. That is why there is no sorrow in heaven. If you therefore love to always have joy, then always be with Him. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, make me your temple forever

“WHEREVER GOD IS, JOY WILL BE THERE”

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.
