  DON’T BLAME GOD James 1:12-20 Devotional:- “And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, "God is tempting me." God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else” (V. 13) NLT Today, there is so much confusion the enemy places in the heart of men to make them feel that God hate them. So, when people are under the pressure of the flesh to sin, they say “God is tempting me”. When people are weak, they are going to face temptation through their flesh. It wil be wrong to say God is tempting you with sickness or troubles. Yes, God knows about it but He only allows it when we have been warned repeatedly and we refuse to change. He disciplines, but it is necessary for us to know that God is not the author of evil, that is the work of the devil (Hebrews 12:6; Matthew 4:24).  There is a difference between a test and temptation. To test means to examine or observe if someone is capable of doing something. To tempt means to entice or lure someone into doing some...

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”.

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.

MASTER’S MINAS

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

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.
