  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...

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 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.
