  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...

WHAT IS SUCCESS?

WHAT IS SUCCESS?

1 Samuel 17:31-39
Devotional:- “Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God." (v. 36)

    A major hidden challenge in the life of most people today is the inability to define what success is. Due to this ignorance, people try to attain success in a wrong way, pursuing what is not success. This ignorance has made many to put the cart before the horse and had made life a total struggle. The biggest trouble of the world today is people trying to become successful in a wrong way.

Success is a state of being courageous and confidence to always succeed. To succeed is to achieve a desired goal or result. But success is a status of being capable to achieve desired result in life. Success could better be seen as a personal status of life. Success is a state of life when you are completely contented or happy with what you are. This is due to fact that you knowing you can always get your desired result.

Success is a state of life where your life becomes predictable (Psalms 23:1). It is a state of life where a man has developed the skill for an achievement and he is confident about it.

Success is not the material achievements but rather the inner resilience ability to achieve without stress. Material thing can finish, but success is a life pattern that can always reproduced. Success is whom you are. It is an ability that has been formed and will be part of you forever. It is therefore this ability that we need to build and we will keep succeeding. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to build up success in me.

“SUCCESS IS WHO YOU ARE AND NOT WHAT YOU HAVE”

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.
