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...

BORN OF GOD

BORN OF GOD

1 John 5:1-5
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. (V 4)

    If you are born of God, strength to overcome is in you. The enemies we face on daily basis are stronger than any imaginary thing. And it is in this light that God dwells in us, that we are be able to live victoriously. A man without God is too cheap for the devil to handle and to subjugate. If you want to be a victor in any area of your life, you therefore have no option than to be born of God.
When God created man, he breathed his spirit to his nostril and man became a living soul (Genesis 2:7). When man sinned, the spirit of God that makes man powerful departed. So for the spirit to come back to man, he need to accept Jesus into his life by inviting Him (John 1:12).

To be born of God is to be born again. It is when you invite Jesus to your life that He will come and begin to dwell in you. If you’ve not done that before or you are a backslider do it now. Only the people that are born of God have a guaranteed victory.
It might look any how now but victory shall surely come. God’s word says, "If God be for us who can be against us" (Romans 8:31). If you are born of God and yet you are still defeated. it is because you are not resisting the enemy in faith. Start to take faith and confidence from the word, resist him concerning everything in your life and he shall flee (James 4:7).

Prayer: Lord, let your Spirit in me always inspire me for my victory

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.
