  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...

THE AUTHOR 

Devotional:- "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them" (V. 27)

God, the creator of all human is the author of marriage-relationship. He is the one who knows the purpose of marriage. He is the one who determines the way marriage is to be instituted. It will therefore be very important for us to follow His pattern and to get the best of our relationship. His intension was to make man have the best of each other. His intention is to make a marriage the best place for man on earth.

For you to have the best of your relationship, you need to look into how the author aimed it to be. If God is the author, then we have to look into his pattern to have our best. God then must be allowed to govern our home; in how we relate and communicate, in how we treat ourselves in the family, in how we raise our children and in how we manage our resources. All of these should not be patterned after the world but by the instructions of God. A godly family should daily have fellowship with God and His word. This is how God will rule in our home. Anything outside this is of the devil and not of God.

Friend, let us all submit to what the author prescribed. His wisdom cannot be compared to ours. Let us follow His pattern and His approach. The church of Jesus should not be part of worldliness in marriage. Peace

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to allow you to govern my home by your pattern.

"A HOME NOT GOVERN BY GOD WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE DEVIL"

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
