  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,...

SPIRIT FILLED

Isaiah 59:15-21
Devotional:- So shall they fear The name of the LORD from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him. (V 19)

    One thing that identifies us with God as His children is the Holy Spirit that dwells in us. It is therefore important for every believer to be filled with the Holy Spirit daily.  This is by fellowshipping with God - reading or listening to the word of God, worship and praying in the spirit on constant basis.

The workings of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers includes alerting us, energizing us and helping us to pray (Romans 8:26). That is why a believer must be sensitive to the Spirit.

Many a time, the devil seek to attack us, but the bible says, whenever he is doing that the Holy Spirit will raise a standard against him. The Holy Spirit does that by alerting us sometimes to pray. Other times to praise God, at some instances, the spirit will just wake us from our sleep to read God's word.

All of this are ways through which the Holy Spirit directs us to give us victory over all our adversaries. But it is only a privilege for believers who are filled with the Spirit. You also need to set time aside to ask for the infilling of the Holy Spirit. Then you will become sensitive enough to overcome in the battles of life.

Prayer: Lord, strengthen me by your Spirit to always overcome.

"THE FULLNESS OF THE SPIRIT GUARANTEES VICTORIOUS LIVING ".

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.
