  EVALUATION 2 Corinthians 13:1-10 Devotional:- “Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it. Test and prove yourselves [not Christ]. Do you not yourselves realize and know [thoroughly by an ever-increasing experience] that Jesus Christ is in you-unless you are [counterfeits] disapproved on trial and rejected?” (V.5)AMPC At such a time like this every one who desires to fulfill their destiny in life should evaluate themselves. Since life is about fulfilling your purpose, goal or destiny, it therefore becomes possible to measure where you are in the race of your life. The enemy often tries to make this time a period of sorrow for so many people. They will look back and see their poor performances. This will then make them break down to sorrow. But this is a negative approach to evaluation. Evaluation is to help you look critically into your state of achievement in the year. It helps you discover where...

TESTING THE SPIRIT

TESTING THE SPIRIT

Scripture Reading 1 John 4:1-6
Devotional:- “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world” (V. 1) NKJV

    Every time you are seeking to connect with the Holy Spirit for an inspiration, there will always be a direction. When this happens, don’t jump out yet, but test the spirit to be sure it is from God. If the Holy Spirit could speak through Peter and almost immediately another spirit used him, then all of us have to be careful (Matthew 16:15-23).

The word of God told us that the Holy Spirit will bear witness with our Spirit (Romans 8:16). So, it is not out of place that you are checking out by testing the spirit directing you.

To test the spirit, ask for a scriptural backing for the instruction. This is because God will not speak contrary to His word. To test the spirit, check whether you have peace or trouble in your spirit. God will always speak peaceably to you. In other words, His word will give you peace in your spirit man (Psalms 85:8). This is because the word released will agree with the Spirit of God in you. To test the spirit, you can let God sometimes confirm through others (2 Corinthians 13:1). This isimportant so that we can always be sure if it is an inspiration from God. Then, our testimonies will be sure. Peace. 

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always discern your spirit

“ONLY INSPIRATION FROM GOD IS GUARANTEED”

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.
