  SETBACK Genesis 39:10-21 Devotional:- “Then Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison” (v.20) NKJV Most people do not yet understand that what we call a setback, a lot of time is a set-up to set us to our top. Setback, as viewed by people, is demotion, but it is rather an opportunity to retreat and re-fire for greater victory. When the purpose of a thing is not known, men are bound to abuse it. Today, we read about Joseph, who was thanking God for being promoted from a slave to a house overseer. He always tried to put his best into his assignment, and by this, he always had joy. At this time, the enemy wanted to damage his testimony by the temptation of sin, but he stood his ground for God (2 Timothy 2:22). But then he faced something like a demotion to prison. This looks like an act of wickedness from God that he was trying to please, but Joseph knew that there is a price for righteo...

GOOD FOUNDATION

GOOD FOUNDATION

Devotional:- “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock” (V. 24)

    The human race has always been deceived into pleasure mentality (Revelation 12:9). This singular factor has excluded multitude from being able to walk in wisdom. It closes doors of joy against many because, they feel they are not enjoying as others. It excludes multitude from financial wisdom because they think they have to pursue pleasure. The worst of it all is that it disallows people from having a good and solid home because pleasure has become a priority for many.

It is important for us to know that it is wisdom to build our family lives on the foundation of which the author of relationship has given. This is by obeying these instructions of the Lord for relationship. The Bible spells out how a home should run. Jesus likens it to a building which a wise man who builds should build on the rock. When storm comes and wind blows, the house could not fall.

Friend, let us follow the way of the Lord in order to have a strong family relationship. Don’t follow human culture and tradition (Romans 12:2). The word of God will guide you to true love because God Himself is love (1 John 4:7-8). The way of the Lord is not like that of your friends and customs. We are now new creature in Christ Jesus. Following the way of the Lord is wisdom. By that way, you will have God in Control of relationship that cannot be taken over by the devil. And your home shall be strong. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help my relationship to be on the right foundation.

BUILDING TO PATTERN HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE BEST

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

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.
