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...

WHO IS A SUCCESS

WHO IS A SUCCESS?

Devotional:- The labor of fools wearies them, For they do not even know how to go to the city! (v. 15) NKJV

    A success is a life developed to be able to succeed. A success is someone who have learnt the skill of success and has master them over time. Because people do not understand what success is, they don't know how to succeed (Ecclesiastics.10:15). A success is a person who has learnt how to achieve a thing in life.

Please, understand that a man who is not a success cannot succeed. A Success has learnt the act of success. The act of success is a pattern or steps or approach to attain success in life. Until a man understands his own pattern of success, he cannot reproduce his success. A man of success will always succeed, this is because he has developed the skill or the ability (Psalms 18:29).

A success is a person because it is an inbuilt ability that cannot be separated from him/her. Wherever you put Mr. Success, he will reproduce what he is able to do. Everything you have, either success or failure, came from your ability. The engine that produces what you have is inside you. A bad dress maker can successfully make a good dress but not all the time, reason being that he can stumble at it. This is the struggle of life (Ecclesiastics 10:15). Struggle is trying to achieve what you are not. A good dress maker can always make another one. Making the dress is an achievement, but he is made already before he can make a dress.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to build up the ability of success.

“WHAT YOU HAVE IS A PRODUCT OF WHOM YOU ARE”

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.
