HOUSE HIM

  HOUSE HIM Proverbs 23:19-28  Devotional:- “My son, give me your heart, And let your eyes observe my ways.” (V. 26) NKJV No man can actually have the best of God until you are really ready to house Him. As a man that married a woman will have to house her so also in Christ, though He is our husband yet we have to house Him (Ephesians 5:28-29). The scripture we read today is the wise counsel of God to us as His son, saying “… son give me your heart.” This is because until you give your heart to a lover you cannot totally have the enjoyment of the fill of His love. You will observe that when a man is truly in love, his entire mind is rapped into the love for his beloved. He cannot help longing for him. Some will even have the picture with them always and anywhere. Just to see it and feel loved. A true lover will always long for their beloved. He does not stay late or long outside because the beloved is in the house waiting. Friend, do you really love God. Does His love fill you...

CORRECTION

CORRECTION

Ephesians 4:1-6
Devotional:- “with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love” (V. 2)

        As human being, we grow into maturity when we make changes from our wrong attitude to the right one. For change to take place, there is a need for us to be corrected in such area of change. If we are going to be corrected, God is going to use men to do so and we are also to be used to correct others. Since no correction; no change: then, we cannot avoid been corrected by people around us. If our relationship will grow then, the approach to correction must be very mature.

The word of God teaches us to correct each other with love. This is correcting each other with understanding. Not reacting but resolving individual confusion with understanding. Knowing full well that if a mature person behaves wrongly, it is because they do not understand what makes them err. Therefore, we should not take correction as accusation but explanation to bring them to understand. By so doing, we can win them to the side of wisdom.

By reacting to people, we confront them without considering them. That way, we create reaction for further reaction and they will not be able to learn. It takes humility to genuinely correct and people will take it like that. Many times, we need to pray for God to touch them before we do (Proverbs 2 1:1). Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, teach me the skill of good correction.

“IT IS WATER FOR FIRE THAT OFTEN CORRECTS AND NOT FIRE FOR FIRE”

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.

COURAGE

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.
