  COMPARISM 2 Corinthians 10:7-18 Devotional:- “Oh, don't worry; we wouldn't dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!” (v.12) NLT. Man, by his complexity, sometimes creates complications for himself in life. One of the things we often do incorrectly is to measure our lives by comparing them to other people’s lives. We often forget that we are sent for a different purpose, so our goals and objectives cannot be the same. There is nothing wrong with trying to gauge your level of performance against others in the same field. But it will be completely wrong for you to determine whether you are a failure or a success by the life of another man. Paul, the apostle of Christ, knows that his own purpose and program are from the Lord and are different from what others have been given. For example, if some apostles were marr...

JOY 

Devotional:- “Therefore with joy you will draw water From the wells of salvation” (V. 3) NKJV

    


    It is important that you know that one of the virtue for our strength in life is joy (Nehemiah 8:10). Please choose to live in joy for the rest of your life. This is because you are created for joyful living. If you don’t consciously make this choice, you have also made a wrong choice. The nature of man is fashioned to only have his best in joy. The enemy having known this always wants to people to be in sorrow. The only sets of people that will enjoy great strength to the end are the joyful one.

Our scripture today said with joy you will fetch out of the well of salvation. God is the source of true strength. He is the well of our salvation. He is the well of our strength (Isaiah 40:29). The drawing vessel from this well is joy. God dwells in joyful atmosphere (Psalms 16:11). Sorrow cannot enter His presence. It will take you being joyful to enter His presence and be able to draw on His strength daily (Psalms 100:4).

Having made your choice of joy be careful to keep fellowshipping with joyful people (Proverbs 13:20). Love to hear good news and testimonies of joy. Stand against celebration of sorrows in your fellowship and you will be able to keep the strength of God flowing in you.

PRAYER: Lord, Baptize Me into The Spirit of Joy.

“JOY IS THE DRAWER OF STRENGTH IN GOD.”

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.

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
