WAITING ON THE LORD

WAITING ON THE LORD 2 Samuel 5:1-10 Devotional:- “David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years” (v.4) NKJV One of the good virtues of God we must always appreciate is His faithfulness. God is not a man that will lie; whatever He has said in His word, He is able to do and He shall do. You can always plug yourself into His promises as much as you work in His covenants. I always tell people never to think God’s word is written only to some specific persons we hear or read about in the Bible. The word of God is the standard practice and programme of God. They were only privileged to be the ones to receive the word at their time, but God is still the same, and so is His word. In claiming the word of God, you must learn to be able to patiently wait. People who will retain their joy must add this virtue to their life (Hebrews 6:12). Our scripture today told us of the installation of David as king, but that was a promise he received from God when he was about 1...

SELF ESTEEM

SELF ESTEEM 

Scripture: Psalms 139:12-18
Devotional:- "I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well” (v. 14) NKJV

    To be a success, one of the factors we must labour to attain is to build self-value which produces self-esteem. Self-value is seen the good and the grace in ourselves. It is realizing that no matter how bad we are, there are so many good things about us. The reason why many struggle before they can have self-esteem is because they place their value of life on money or material things. So, when they don't have as such, they feel like a failure, some even feel inferior to others because they compare themselves with others (Numbers 13:33). Some have unrealistic expectations about their lives which makes them crash into low self-esteem, instead of realizing their capacity.

To build quality self-esteem, we have to redefine our life values. Stop looking and valuing yourself based on material thing. You are of more value than that (Matthew 10:21). Stop taking to heart the human comment but the word of God who is your creator. Only God have the final say over your life (Jeremiah 29:11)

As a child of God, the spirit of God is in you. All you need to develop self-esteem or self-value is to study, accept and celebrate what God is saying about you. Keep celebrating what God has given to you but not what He has not. And you will succeed. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to see your goodness in my life always.

“YOU WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO GO BEYOND HOW YOU SEE YOURSELF”

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.
