  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...

JEHOVAH-JIREH

Devotional:- “And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah – Jireh: as it said to this day, in the mount of the Lord it shall be seen”. (V. 14) KJV

    God is a great provider. A provision at a time of need is like water at a time of thirst. All of us are often faced with one need or the other. Some don’t always have their needs met and so they join the poor and become a failure in life. Some others force their need to be met through away and become one of the wicked. And by so doing create sorrow of tomorrow for themselves (Proverbs10:22). But not very many people have known God as a great provider.

God instructed Abraham to go and sacrifice his only son unto Him. Abraham obeyed God by going to the described mountain. As he lifted his hand to kill the child God, called unto him to show him a lamb that He has provided. Abraham named that place Jehovah-Jireh, meaning God shall provide. 

If you like to see God‘s hand of provision in your life also, you must learn to believe Him for it. You must learn to see Him as your provider, God hates no man. So, you should always make your needs known to Him in prayers. Then wait on His instruction for the meeting of your need. And as you obey Him your needs will always be met (Philippians 4:19). He will always provide for you. You need to know that He will not fail those who will trust in Him. And soon you will be out of debt to abundance.

Prayer: Lord, meet my need today

“YOUR NEEDS ARE ONLY OBEDIENCE AWAY FROM YOU”

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.
