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...

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY 

Scripture Reading: Luke 15:11-24
Devotional:- "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him” (V. 20) NKJV

    One of the habits that makes a man a success is taking responsibility. It is not everything you delegate out. Quite a number of things no one can do for you. It is your responsibility. A man becomes a success when he takes responsibilities over the affairs of his life and businesses.

The prodigal son put his life in his hand and returned to face his father he had called foolish one time and apologized. The habit of responsibility makes us to humble ourselves. It makes a man to be willing take steps to progress. It makes a man to see possibility in his goals. It makes us to pay the prize of success. It makes us to identify our weaknesses and strengths. It makes us an effective participator in our process of achievement. It makes us to see and learn the process. These are what makes us become a master over achievements.

For you to build the habit of responsibility, you need to see yourself as a major key player in achievements of success. Whatever you need, you will have to labour to produce. Stop blaming anyone. You will always need people to assist you in doing one thing or the other, but you are the one to first be possessed with your vision before you can share the spirit of the vision with others. Success takes initiatives, while failure blame others. Responsibility gives us a sense of true freedom to succeed. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the courage to always arise.

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.
