  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...

POSITIVE WORD

Scripture Reading: Numbers 14:1-10
Devotional:- “If the LORD delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, 'a land which flows with milk and honey” (V. 8) NKJV

    Our words are commands to the forces of the spirit of God that are assigned by God to be around us. (Psalms 91:11-12; Hebrews 1:14; Exodus 23:23). Their responsibility is to help us in the invisible part of our assignment. All they need to receive is a word of God from us. They are assigned to serve us (Psalm 103:20). When we speak the word of God, they take action to perform it.

The challenge is when we speak the negative, we confuse them (Ecclesiastics 5:6). Someone who wants to succeed should have the heart of speaking the positive (Joshua 1:8). To overcome the challenge of negative words, we have to understand that our words come from our heart (Matthew 12:34). So, to cultivate the habit of positive words, we have to cultivate positive heart by studying the word of God.

Positive heart and words are therefore cultivated by taking word the word of God repeatedly (Colossians 3:16). Positive words are majorly in the word of God (John 17:17). The heart of most people has already record multiple negative words, so, there is a strong need to renew our mind in the word of God (Romans 12:2). This is by accepting the word and the plan of God for us over and above our experiences or situations. Things happen from our heart, so we must impose the word of God over the negative. This is how to allow God of all possibility in our situations. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the ability to keep speaking positive word.

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.
