  JOYFUL HOME Matthew 7:21-29 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) NKJV   If Anyone wants a joyful home, they must understand that the home has to be built on a solid rock. This rock is Christ (1 Corinthians 10:3-4). It will be possible to build our home on this rock if we allow the wisdom of the word of God to be the guide of our teaching, training the children and ruling our home (Proverb 22:6). Our home is likened to a building that has to be organized bit by bit to stand firm and strong in Christ. That is why you need to take good time to share God’s word with your family daily till it becomes their lifestyle. Don’t be deceived by the busy schedule of today’s world. Create time for your family. If you don’t do this, other negative things will.  Please understand that all human are product of what we hear repeatedly. To raise a right family, you must share the...

OPENNESS

Devotional:- “A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother” (V. 24) NKJV

    The principle of relationship demands that we are open to receive the other person we have decided to relate with. Openness has to do with allowing the one you accept to love into your privacy. Without privacy, you cannot have access to the heart of most people. People need to see the genuineness in someone before they can open up the secret of their lives. Yet, one must allow the other in, before intimate relationship can begin.

The word of God says, a man who wants friends must himself be friendly. In other words, he must open up himself to be accessed. He must welcome others. Since we need people, we must not pretend as though we don’t need them. Friendliness demands that we allow others. That is why it is not everyone that is permitted to be at the same level of relationship with us.

Meeting with people demands that we quickly understand the purpose of our relationship with them. This demands that we know the level of closeness we can afford to give them. This will also determine how free we can be with them. Yet, no matter how close or distant, we have to give people the opportunity at their level. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a heart for others.

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.
