  JOY OF PARENTS Proverbs 15:11-21 “A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish man despises his mother” (V.20). NKJV One of the things that brings perpetual joy and gladness to parents at their old age is the lives of their children. When a man sees his children living right, prospering and serving God, it brings great joy that no one can take away from him. Many parents are living in sadness because of the terrible lives the children are living, but the truth is that they never invested the “wisdom” of the word of God in these children when they were young. They left these children to live their lives the way they wanted, now the consequences are manifesting. Beloved, if you want to have joy in your old age, plant into your children now the word of God that can make them wise, and when they are wise and behave wisely, your joy will know no bounds. Prayer: Lord, help me to raise Godly children. “YOUR CHILDREN ARE YOUR TREASURES”

BACKGROUND

Proverbs 22:1-6
Devotional:- “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it” (V. 6)

   

    Everyone grows up from a background. Our background is the nature and the behavioral attitude of people we grew up with. Our background is the lifestyle of our parents and our relations. This goes a long way to affect our beliefs and our concepts of life. It registers in our mind permanently as what we belief that life should look like. Our background often becomes so difficult to change because they are what we are introduced to in our early learning years.

The background nature of Joseph kept reflecting even in Egypt. Our background becomes what other people in relationship will have to manage to have a good relationship. The background flow out in life with us and that is why people say charity begins at home. Some people’s background makes them traders, others partying, others well disciplined, some academics etc. Some people have such terrible background that often stands against their progress in life. Faulty background could stand as self-limiting factor in life.

The moment you notice a background behavior is negatively affecting your life, please be willing to change. It is all about forming contrary habits. This is possible by forming an opposite habit and practicing them repeatedly for 21 days over. Whoever desires to change a man’s background should be patience to explain with understanding about the fault in the background. It will gradually reveal to us a better concept of life. That is when people will agree to change their habit for a better relationship. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be able to change for better.

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.
