TIME OF JOY Philippians 4:1-7 Devotional:- “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again l say, rejoice.” (V. 4) KJV One of the most important and most needed virtues of life is joy. When joy is not in place, many things may not be in place. It is joy that eases a man off the tension of life. It is joy that puts men always in health (Proverbs 17:22). It is joy that destroys our doubt. It is the joy in the Lord that increases our faith. It is joy that refreshes our minds and gives us mental richness. There are many more things that joy does in our lives, yet it looks so scarce in the lives of many. This is because there are not many pleasant situations that will help them rejoice. But you, as a believer, should know that you cannot afford to live in sorrow, for without joy, life will be totally in shambles. It is with joy that we can bring our situation back to life and beauty (Isaiah 12:3). It is the strength of life (Nehemiah 8:10). The coming of Jesus to the world brought the joy that would...

ACCEPTANCE

Genesis 24:54-67
Devotional:- “Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death” (V. 67)

    For any relationship to be strong, it must start on the foundation of acceptability. Relationship could sometimes be very challenging when the level of acceptance is not all that strong. Some people go into relationship when they are not really ready to accept each other. Others consider entering into relationship based on a shallow acceptance. Such relationship will get to the middle of existence to discover they didn’t consider it deeper before saying, I do.

The word of God says that Isaac and Rebecca saw each other for the first time and they accept each other. This is an act of faith in God who is able to sustain every relationship. Accepting each other demands so much deep thought. It demands that we make up our mind to remain in the relationship no matter what. It lives no room to reconsideration of divorce. It demands seeing well before a conclusion is made.

I had of a new couple regretting their relationship from the first day. Some people have not yet accepted each other even after ten years of marriage. People will be forcing themselves to live together in this case. If you believe God has brought you together, then, put your differences aside to build your home. Stop comparing your spouse to another person’s spouse (2 Corinthians 10:12). From the day you accept each other, is the day you really start your marriage. That is when you will take responsibility to build your home and you will have a sweet one. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to build good home.

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.
