PURSUE PEACE Hebrews 12:12-17 Devotional:- “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:” (v.14) NKJV Some people don’t know that a peaceful relationship is in their best interest. They do not know that it is ignorance to be wicked and be in conflict with others. Little do most people know that a peaceful relationship is basically good for their health and well-being. That is why a peaceful man will live long in health. God’s word teaches us today to strive to attain peace in all our relationships with others. The Bible doesn’t say we should try to do that, but it says we should strive. This is because it may not be easy. Man, as a social and emotional being, cannot help but relate with others. We often finds constraints in doing so because of our differences, which can lead us to offend one another; we often find it tough with some people. Notwithstanding that, the Bible commands us to pursue peace with everyone so that we don’t block our access ...

JEHOVAH-NISSI

Exodus 17:8-16
Devotional:- “And Moses Built An Altar, And Called The Name Of It Jehovah-Nissi” (V. 15) KJV

    It has always been there from time immemorial that some people don’t just want others to prosper. They are ready to be a hindrance rather than a support of success. They always get annoyed when others make progress. They easily become embittered and think of going to war against others. Such are the Amalekites.

They just suddenly become embittered against the sovereign act of God in the life of the Israelites. And they decided to constitute a hindrance to their progress to their promised land. So, they engage Israel in a war. God is always fighting greatly for His people. So, the Amalek were defeated. Your enemy also shall be defeated. But God instructed Moses to keep the record that contrary to the former plan and by current happening the Amalek shall be wiped out of history. And Moses erected a sign there and called it God our banner, which means the sign of our strength and victory.

God is also your sign of victory. If not that the Lord is on your side, where will you be today (Psalm 124:1-3)? This banner is always showing on you, your house and your belongings. That is why your life should be known to be a no-go area for the enemy. You must learn to see this banner there always. And your victory will keep getting established. And the enemy will no longer enter your territory.

Prayer: Lord, be my banner of victory.

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.
