TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Devotional:- “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (V. 17) NLT  God has a purpose behind every problem. God depends more on circumstances to grow our character than reading the Bible; this is because we have challenging circumstances twenty four seven. The word of God made us to see challenges in our life as normal (1 Peter 4:18). Your deepest expression of worship is mostly in the darkest days. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt and honest prayers to God (James 5:16). God would have kept Jeremiah from the throne to the pit, Joseph from been thrown into the jail, Paul from been shipwrecked or the three Hebrew from been thrown into the fire but he left those problems to himself. You will never know that God is all you need until God is all you have.  Everything that happens to you has spir...

PERSISTENCE

Scripture: Luke 18:1-7
Devotional:- “Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,” (v. 1) NKJV

    In the school of success, temporary people may not be able to go too far. Desperate people are often met with severe frustration. Those who have learn the act of success must have learn the act of persistency. This is very vital because nothing good are easily found on the surfaces. They always demand continue digging.

To persist is to stay on a course of conviction till one get the expected result. Those who stand out in any field of life often have to persist. The woman in our scripture refused to allow time and date to discourage her. She knew what she wanted to get and she gave her best to it till she got the judgment.

Building up the habit of persistency demands clarity of purpose of life and willingness to commit all to it. To be persistent therefore demand that we define a worthy course, become convict of it, before it will deliver our expectation. Most noble course in life demand long time of preparation. So, temporary people cannot go that far. Great feet demand a deep foundation e.g., to be a medical doctor, a governor or president of a nation. These are not what you attain overnight but with persistent preparation. Get ready for greatness. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to endure to the end.

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.
