  GIVER’S JOY Acts 20:31-38 Devotional:- “I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive'" (v.35) NKJV A man, in his poor way of looking at things, thinks it is wiser to keep receiving. But do you know that it is more blessed to give? Some only want to enjoy receiving, and they don’t enjoy giving. Some will even give water to you as if they are giving their blood. So many don’t even have the mind of a giver. They prefer to keep saving (Proverbs 21:26). But we need to understand the purpose of our creation. Man is created to be a giver. We are created to help others. It is only in giving that we can find joy and fulfilment. It is often said that the hand of the giver is always at the top (Proverbs 22:7). It is in giving that we can be blessed.  Please understand that God is always looking for givers. Every time God impress it in your hea...

NEVER LOOK BACK

NEVER LOOK BACK

Luke 9:57-62
"But Jesus said to him, No one, having put hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God" (V. 62)

   

     Indecision is one of the characteristics of failure and can result to double defeat. So, a single focus is Important for anyone that will succeed. Every one that will enjoy the kingdom grace must be determined to follow, not withstanding. Most people that are found in the church today have not really come to a point of conclusion whether to follow the Lord or not to follow the Lord. Many are only attracted by bread and cake. Such people want to follow Him only when He is good to them. They will love Him as much as it is rosy and the going is well. One of their legs are inside and the other outside. Any little thing could make them tum back from following Him.

Though there is no time that God is not good to us, but God is always interested in building and training us for the challenges of the future. Most of such times look odd to us. And it looks as if God has deserted us. No matter how we see Him, He is always Good (Psalm 100:5). There are just two basic experiences in life: peace and trouble and God is the giver of peace. You are to decide what to enjoy. lf you are going to be a victor in the strength of God then you have got to take the decision to follow Him notwithstanding. Storms will come, wind will blow, but never allow your faith to be shaken.

Don't forget He is always with you (Isaiah 43:2, Roman 8:31). And that is why no situation can swallow you. Make the decision today and God will uphold you by His right hand (Isaiah 41:10).

Prayer: Lord, help me to keep my focus on you alone
