  JOYFUL COMPANION  Luke 1:37-45 Devotional:- “For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy” (v.44) NKJV We must know that sooner or later, we will always look like the people we are moving with. God’s word says, he that walks with the wise shall be wise and the companion of fools shall be destroyed (Proverbs 13:20). This means that what we gain from the surroundings of our associates has a very strong influence upon our life. If a man walks with people who don’t know or appreciate joy, he may not also experience joy. We read about the visitation of Mary to Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. Since two of them carry unique children of divine significance, they both have the Spirit of God in them. This brings about a joyful effect. As soon as Elizabeth heard the voice of Mary, the baby leaped for joy. You therefore need to understand that the richest place you need to seek to be is where God’s children are gathe...

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

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.
