SETBACK

  SETBACK Genesis 39:10-21 Devotional:- “Then Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison” (v.20) NKJV Most people do not yet understand that what we call a setback, a lot of time is a set-up to set us to our top. Setback, as viewed by people, is demotion, but it is rather an opportunity to retreat and re-fire for greater victory. When the purpose of a thing is not known, men are bound to abuse it. Today, we read about Joseph, who was thanking God for being promoted from a slave to a house overseer. He always tried to put his best into his assignment, and by this, he always had joy. At this time, the enemy wanted to damage his testimony by the temptation of sin, but he stood his ground for God (2 Timothy 2:22). But then he faced something like a demotion to prison. This looks like an act of wickedness from God that he was trying to please, but Joseph knew that there is a price for righteo...

COURAGE 

Scripture: Joshua 1:1-9
Devotional:- Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. (V 6) NKJV

        Courage is the act of willingness to dare the impossible. It is facing situation notwithstanding the fearful nature. Though it has a little difference from faith, yet, we need the two. When you see anyone achieving anything great, he/she is just in the attitude of courage. Everyone who want to be successful must build up the habit of courage.

God said to Joshua “you will need to be courageous”. This is learning to act in strength not withstanding terrifying situation. In the course of pursuing your course on earth, some challenges will arise. The purpose of these challenges is to intimidate you to stop (1 Samuel 17:33-34; Nehemiah 6:8-9). When people see a vision taking off, they all rejoice. But when they see it going beyond what they expect they become jealous. So, get ready.

 

To build up in courage is to be willing to stand in Christ, till you win. He is the solid rock. It is to load your mind with revelation of the word of God (1 John 4:4; Romans 8:31). Be ready to face your fear. You will discover it is just an intimidation. There is no one who will not be intimidated but if you want to be a success, you won't mind it. Fear is a lie. Fear is a weak attempt to stop a true giant in you. Don't give in. Peace.

 

PRAYER: Lord, let the giant of the Holy Spirit always arise in me.


“EVERY CONQUEROR ALWAYS ACT IN COURAGE”

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.

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 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.
