COMPARISM

  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...

CONSUMING FIRE

Devotional:- “For our God is a consuming fire” (V. 29)

    One of the attributes of God is that He is a consuming fire. There are different categories of fires. Some fires cannot burn. Some fires can burn and turn the particles into ashes. But there is a fire that consumes and allows nothing to remain. It normally swallows and is removed from existence. God is that fire.

That is why your enemy cannot always move closer. As good and loving as God is. Yet when anyone is against Him or His children, they face His wrath. Wherever God is, no unrighteous weapon cannot prosper there. No weapon of wickedness can survive in the presence of God (Isaiah 54:17).

That is why you will need to always see God around you in your imagination, and He has promised to be a fence of fire all around you and glory in your midst (Zechariah 2:5). When your fence Is made with a consuming fire, no one dares move closer. This is who God is for you. All that is important is that you are living in His will to always please Him (Proverbs 16:7). Know therefore from today that you are untouchable for the enemy and all the forces of wickedness. Always see this God around you and your surroundings shall be with peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always see you around me.

“WHEN GOD IS YOUR FENCE NO ONE TRESPASSES”

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.
