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...

WHAT ARE PRINCIPLES?

WHAT ARE PRINCIPLES?

Devotional:- And they continued steadfastly in the apostles" doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers" (V. 42)

    Principles in relationships are values formed to become a standard for practices and the way of people living together. A community without such principles will be out of control. This could lead to self-destruction. These principles are the ethics and pattern of living in any given community. The generations we are living in today want to be without principles, either at home or in the community. People want to do what they feel like doing any how at any given time. If you want to have good relationship and the best of it, you must learn the principles of relationship in the word of God. For example; it is a principle of relationship not to love people more than yourself (Matthew 22:39).

The word of God shows us how the first church had healthy relationship and they could stay together. The principles that governed this community of believers was been connected to the apostle’s doctrine. They value their fellowship together as a family, they share what they have and they are prayerful. This made them a force so strong that the nation was afraid of them. Today, some parents have different opinion about family altar and devotion. Some believe that it has to be individual, some together, and others none. Such family will raise children who will not know the Lord.

Friend, let us learn to submit to the principle of healthy relationship both in our family and in the church. Don't break the principle of the word of God and think you will be okay. If you keep breaking principles, it will keep breaking you. If you are part of any church family, be committed to the principles of the leadership there. That is when you will encounter God indeed. You will not be destroyed in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me and my family to be submissive to the principles of your house.

"SUBMISSION IS NOT THE BEST WAY TO LIVE; IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE"

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.
