GOOD REPORT

  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

IDENTIFY YOUR PURPOSE

IDENTIFY YOUR PURPOSE

Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:1-7
Devotional:-“And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules” (v. 5) NKJV

    A major factor hindering many people from becoming successful in the black race is the inability to live in the purpose of life. God has made all things to fall in place for man when he lives in his purpose (Matthew 6:33). To be able to live in the purpose of God for our lives, we have to discover that purpose and then give ourselves to it. A major hindrance to the discovering of the purpose of men is man not thinking of the need for the purpose. By so, man live for the wrong purpose which is material. These are the things that are already provided for us.

As much as money and material things are important for our living on earth, they are not the reason we are here. So, we are to work towards them at our capacity and be thankful. Discovery of purpose will help us to set our priority right. It will give us the right goal and focus. If focus is wrong, people will miss their success. Our purpose is known by our maker. And the Bible is our guide.

In the scripture, we discover that the purposes of man are: to aim at bringing glory to God through all that we are doing, to love others and be part of His family, to grow our spirit and soul to be like Him, to live and bless others and to bring others to the saving grace of Christ (Matthew 22:37-40; 28:19-20). When a man understands these, his success will be rightly defined. His focus will be righteous and his life will be blessed by the Lord. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me good understanding of my purpose on earth.

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

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.
