SERVING WITH JOY

SERVING WITH JOY Deuteronomy 28:47-52 Devotional:- “Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything” (V.47) NKJV A greater percentage of people do not know what stops their glory. They just suddenly discover that things just stop working out for them. In their ignorance, they accuse God and the devil for their predicament. You need to know from now that one of the things responsible is when people don’t serve with joy. People are always in haste to expect reward for their service. When it looks delayed, they begin to serve with grudges in their mind. God told the Israelites that if they did not serve God with a joyful heart, they would serve their enemy. This is actually too grievous, but men are also not always understanding. Something in us always looks so high that we don’t see what the Lord is doing, but we will always see what he has not done. This makes it difficult to serve with joy. Many are wounded by their delayed ex...

CONSCIOUSNESS OF YOUR COMPANY

CONSCIOUSNESS OF YOUR COMPANY    

2 Kings 6:8-20 NKJV
Devotional:- So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” (V 16)

    There is need for us to become conscious of the value God has place on us, being His children. A lot of times when we are afraid, God is surprised and wonder why. One of the things comfortable people seek to have, is security. And God is more than comfortable, so as His children, He has put so many things in place for our security but a lot of God’s children are still afraid because of their ignorance. God said, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). 

Elisha the prophet of God was surrounded by great number of army yet he was conscious of the armies of God around him. His servant was scared, so, he prayed that his eyes will be opened. I pray that your eyes will be open from now to God’s security around you.

God’s word says, “He shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways” (Psalm 91:11). It further says. “The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him and delivers them” (Psalm 34:7). For those of us who abides in Zion, God’s word says, “... you have come to mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem to an innumerable company of angels”. (Hebrews 12:22).

Friend, Live the rest of your life in the consciousness of the host of God around you wherever you go. Then you will find peace like a river.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always see you around me

“YOUR COMPANY IS YOUR STRENGTH”.

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.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.
