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...

EVERLASTING STRENGTH

Isaiah 26:1-7
Devotional:- Trust ye in the Lord, forever, for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength” (V. 4) KJV 

    A man may be strong today and may not be tomorrow. We have seen a one-time world champion be defeated like a weakling. This is because human strength has limitations. When a man grows in strength, it will get to a level; he will begin to decline. That is why we have seen great organizations suddenly collapsing. They have simply come to the climax of their strength.

But your God is the everlasting strength. God’s word says, He neither faint nor weary in strength (Isaiah 40:28). He is ever strong. Instead of getting weary, He even distributes strength to those who wait on Him (Isaiah 40:31). From ages past, He has been the strength of His people.

It therefore means His strength is strength indeed. As He has helped the people of old, He can still help us. His strength never diminishes. You and I can therefore put our hope in His strength. He can supply us with His victorious strength. He can sustain us. He can see us through. Whatever we may have to face, His strength is always there sufficiently. All you need to do is to put your trust in Him. Never trust in the strength of any man (Jeremiah 17:5). God’s strength is always sufficient.

Prayer: Lord, be my strength forever.

“THE CONTINUITY OF THE SOURCE OF YOUR STRENGTH DETERMINED THE DURATION OF YOUR CHAMPIONSHIP”

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.
