GOOD REPORT

  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

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.

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.
