  OVERFLOWING WITH JOY Psalm 23:1-6 Devotional:- “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over” (v.5) NKJV It is the will of God in this season to fill your life with good things until you overflow with joy. This is not God’s plan for a few people but for all mankind. He intends to make everyone overflow with the good things of life. What does it mean to overflow? This simply means God want everyone to experience an abundance of good things and then flow out to others (John 10:10).  King David was sharing the testimony of his own overflowing experience. Though the enemies wanted to stop him, the Lord did it for him. Despite all the challenges and hurdles he has to pass through yet God brought him to his overflowing experience. That is why you also need to settle it in your heart that your abundance of all good things is coming. It doesn’t matter what you may be going through now; just keep working faithfully with th...

RESPONSIBILITY

Devotional:- “By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren” (V. 16)

    Building a healthy relationship demands that each party is responsible. In a situation where a partner is not responsible, it can frustrate the one that is responsible. This is exactly the way we treat God a lot of time. Man is always discouraged by the devil not to be responsible towards God. Whenever we have needs, we always want God to be responsible towards us, but not us being responsible to God. This is always the bone of contention between man and God. To be responsible is to always carry out part of the relationship deal.

The word of God says, this is how we can know love, because Jesus laid down His life for us. Therefore, we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. To be responsible is to continue to sacrificially take care of each other in relationship. It means, meeting the needs of each other and not expecting one person to meet all the needs. In some cases, one person will be saving his resources for personal goal, while one person takes care of all things for the family. This is what some people call marriage.

Friend, whoever is not responsible is a parasite and a liability. Check your body parts; they are all responsible to each other. Even if your spouse supplies all the things in the house, don’t sit down like that. Make sure you have a great role to play also. Create them if there are none, so that your relationship does not break down because someone is no longer able. Housewife is not equal to idleness. Be wise. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to take my place in my relationship.

“HE THAT PUT IN NOTHING IN ANY RELATIONSHIP WILL NOT GET ANYTHING SERIOUS ON THE LONG RUN”.

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.
