GOOD REPORT

  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

STRONG MEN

STRONG MEN

Joshua 14:10-15
Devotional:- As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in. (V 11)

     Victory in life is not for the weak but for the strong. This does not mean we have to start body-building to overcome in life. But we need to have the wisdom that gives birth to strength. If you notice any man who always over-power others, what it takes is only strength through wisdom. Weak people have no portion here on earth. Some are just thirty-two years, and are living as somebody of over ninety-five years old.

Caleb was a strong man and we see this all through his life. He was one of the twelve that was sent by Moses to spy the land of Canaan in Numbers 13 and 14. Ten of the spies came back with negative report, but Caleb and Joshua came with a good one – the Godly and goodly kind of report. This is because of their knowledge of God. they knew He is a great God that cannot fail. This same Caleb is saying in our scripture here today, that he could still go to war at eighty. Not requesting for battle on a plain ground but at the mountain top.

If you too want to be strong all the days of your life, then learn these two secrets of Caleb. The first is that He knew God. He was a man of knowledge (Daniel 11:32). He was also living in the wisdom of God (Proverb 24:5). God is the giver of strength (Isaiah 40:29). Seek to know Him and he will supply you. Don’t die in weakness, Seek to know and believe in Him. It is knowledge that make strong. Ignorant create doubt and fear. Refuse to be defeated by the troubles of this world. If any will will live in sickness or the affliction of life, its not you. If any will live frustrated in failure its not you. Give yourself to seeking knowledge and you will be made strong.

Prayer: Lord, the great I am is in me, I will not be defeated or frustrated
