  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...

LOVE LANGUAGES

Devotional:- “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on Us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him” (V. 1)

    Words are powerful. Words are seed (Luke 8:11). The word of God creates and so are our words (John 1:1-3). If our word creates, then, it is the seed for all that were produced in this world. It is important we know that, there are angels of God to carry out our words especially when we are speaking the word of God (Psalms103:20). That is why there is no one who can keep speaking hatred that will have love around him/her.

The word of God says God is not ashamed to call us brothers and sisters. He is not ashamed to call us His own people. That is how we also should not be afraid to identify with our loved ones. The Bible says God publicly spoke about Jesus, “This is my beloved son, hear ye Him” (Matthew 17:5). God said this at different times – when Jesus was been baptized and also at the Transfiguration Mountain (Matthew3:17; Matthew 17:5).

Friend, it is not out of place to use languages of love to speak to our spouses “My beloved”; “My dear”; “My love” etc., that is why this is not for any other person except your spouse. If God calls us His beloved, then, we should call ourselves beloved. And your marriage will be sweet. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me grace to always sow the seed of love into my marriage

“IT IS THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE THAT STIRS UP LOVE”

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.

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.
