APPRECIATION

  APPRECIATION Psalm 92:1-10 Devotional:- “It is good to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High” (v.1) NKJV It is in the habit of most people that when they are expecting something from God, they will do everything possible to gain His favour. But as soon as it is done, that thing loses value to them. So, people only value what they don’t have. This sometimes does not make us have a heart of gratitude to God. We will always promise to give thanks, but as soon as we receive our expectations, some will forget to give thanks. Many do not know that the opportunity or privilege that is available to them is what qualifies them for what they are expecting. But they look down on this because their expectations have not been met. Your health is more important than travelling abroad. The breath of life you enjoy is far more valuable than the car or job you are expecting. In fact, this qualifies you for those things. Friend, no matter what God has done for you,...

NEVER BE PROUD

James 4:1-10 NKJV
But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” (V 6)

    Pride is a sign of selfishness, ego and foolish thought. It is a sign of unbrokenness and rebellion. Pride is simply the display of emptiness. It is only a man who has nothing that tries to prove that he is something. Pride is simply a sign of proving that you don’t need God or that you are more than God.

God treats the proud in a terrible way. No proud person can win in the race of life. Eventually he is going to destroy himself. The moment a man is proud, God will remove his grace from his life. Watch him, falling is close to him, because it takes the grace of God for us to be victorious over the devil in this world.

God’s word says, whoever exalts himself shall be abased (Mark 23:12). That means he shall be made to fall so that he can learn (Proverbs 16:18). When you humble yourself, it makes you enjoy more of His grace. You will also discover that you are performing better when you are humble.

No one can stand to overcome the devil without the backing of God. If you therefore, desire to be an overcomer you cannot stand to be proud. Submit yourself to God, then, you have grace to stand against the enemy and overcome. If you can humble yourself then you are on God’s list of the lifted. Wherever you are today and whatever you have today is small compare to your future in God. Humble yourself that your future will not be destroyed.

Prayer: Lord, deliver me from the spirit of pride

“THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE LIFTING OF THE HUMBLE’

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.
