  COMPARISM 2 Corinthians 10:7-18 Devotional:- “Oh, don't worry; we wouldn't dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!” (v.12) NLT. Man, by his complexity, sometimes creates complications for himself in life. One of the things we often do incorrectly is to measure our lives by comparing them to other people’s lives. We often forget that we are sent for a different purpose, so our goals and objectives cannot be the same. There is nothing wrong with trying to gauge your level of performance against others in the same field. But it will be completely wrong for you to determine whether you are a failure or a success by the life of another man. Paul, the apostle of Christ, knows that his own purpose and program are from the Lord and are different from what others have been given. For example, if some apostles were marr...

A WARRIOR

Exodus 15:1-10
Devotional:- “The LORD is a man of war; the LORD is His name”. (V. 3)

    Looking at the reality of the affairs of life makes us understand that we are here for battle (Ephesians 6:12). We are often faced with spiritual battles and psychological battles. The word of God has not put us in the dark that our lives shall be full of challenges (John 16:33). We have to face challenges in life because they built us strong to conquer. A student who is reading to succeed academically is acting. So also, is a man who is pursuing a business breakthrough. They will both need to contend with some forces to make it.

People who get involved in military battles know that the strength of the force behind a team determines the result of a war. That is what people with military strategy always employed to help nations overcome.

I want to introduce to you the greatest war strategist. And that is your God. When He is the one fighting for you, your enemies are in trouble. He fought for Israel one day at the Red Sea and the testimony is what we are reading today. When He fights for you, there shall always be victory (Deuteronomy 1:30). He cannot lose any battle. He is a man of war (Exodus 15:3). Commit the challenges of your life into His hand and you will become undefeatable in all the battles of life.

Prayer: Lord, take over the battles of my life.

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.
