FLOATING AXE Devotional:- 2 Kings 6:1-7 “So the man of God said, "Where did it fall?" And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float’’ (V.6) NKJV  Sometimes when we read about some great wonders of God in the Bible, something makes us feel it was because the people were very special. But we need to know that they are men of like passion (James 5:17-18). They were just exactly like we are, but they were only men of faith. This makes God to work wonders through them. The sons of the prophet needed a big place of dwelling. So they decide to cut trees to make a new home. Thank God they requested that Elisha should go with them. As they were cutting the trees, the axe head fell into the deep river. And the man of God asked the Holy Spirit for what to do. The Holy Spirit was what they also depended upon, and there was a miracle. Friend, you also have the Holy Spirit. That stick is the word of God. Speak to the sinking situatio...

TEMPERAMENT

TEMPERAMENT

Genesis 25:19-28
Devotional:- “So the boys grew. And Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a mild man, dwelling in tents” (V. 27)

    Everyone picks his temperamental nature from the parents. This is therefore, being passed to us through the blood. Since it is in our blood, it becomes our permanent nature. Temperamental nature is therefore one of the major factors to work on to make two to become one. Each temperamental nature has advantages and disadvantages. God consciously allow us to have these differences to create varieties in our world. If all of us behave the same way, the whole world will be boring.

One of these natures is choleric. These are people who always want to impose their own ideas on others. There is also melancholy. These are people who love to take care of detailed issues; they are not easily fed up with organizing and arrangement. They love orderliness. There are also sanguine. These are extroverts. So, they love to talk and be humorous. They think and talk at the same time. Too much of planning is a burden to them. There is also phlegmatic nature. These are Introvert people. They keep to themselves more than others. They think more than talking.

Each of us has a little from our father and a little from our mother. This makes each one to have one major and one or more as minor. To manage these in relationships demands good study of each temperament. There is need for compromise with each other accepting people as they are and helping them to overcome their weaknesses gradually. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to grow above my weaknesses.

“YOUR NATURE IS YOU, ONLY CHALLENGING EXPERIENCES CAN DEVELOP IT”.

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.
