  MY REFUGE Psalms 46:1-7 Devotional:- "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (V. 1) It is always very easy for men to say God is not good to them when they have a pressing need. But if you observe it carefully, wisdom will let you always appreciate Him. It is not every one that began this year that is still alive now. Many were faced with challenges greater than themselves and were swallowed up. If you listen to the reasons for their falls, they are not too great. The truth is that you also have passed through challenges greater than theirs, but God was your refuge. Anytime you run to Him, you will find a hiding place in Him. Even when it looks like the situation wants to swallow you, you still find strength for help in God. Do you know that you have been enjoying His refuge not because you are better but because He loves you? No matter what happens, do not be afraid, your lover is your refuge. All you need to do is keep drinking from the river from the...

PURPOSE OF RELATIONSHIP

PURPOSE OF RELATIONSHIP

And the Lord God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him" (V. 18)

    God who is the author of relationship observed a missing factor after creating man. He saw that man need another creature to compliment him. That is what relationship does for us. No man or woman will be at his or her best without the impute of the other. The enemy of man often suggests to us that we should only be self-focused. But it will be a total regret when someone refuses to exploit the opportunity of relationship with others.

The word of God says that, God Himself observed that it is not good that the man should be alone. To be alone is to lack the right person to confide in. To be alone is to be afraid to open up to people who can assist us. Anytime the devil wants to destroy anyone, he will encourage him to withdraw from others. When a man begins to withdraw from others, it is for his own ruin. God made us to be a help, a complement or a support for each other to succeed. We are not going to be at our best avoiding people.

Each of us must pray to have the right people or partner who can complement our lives. The dream of God for our lives is too big for what we can handle alone. One of the good gifts we can receive is the gift of right people to be with us. But the best gift is to be a companion to people around you. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to lack your gift of good companion.

"WITHOUT PEOPLE AROUND YOU, YOU CANNOT BE AT YOUR BEST"

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.
