  APPRECIATION Psalm 92:1-10 Devotional:- “It is good to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High” (v.1) NKJV It is in the habit of most people that when they are expecting something from God, they will do everything possible to gain His favour. But as soon as it is done, that thing loses value to them. So, people only value what they don’t have. This sometimes does not make us have a heart of gratitude to God. We will always promise to give thanks, but as soon as we receive our expectations, some will forget to give thanks. Many do not know that the opportunity or privilege that is available to them is what qualifies them for what they are expecting. But they look down on this because their expectations have not been met. Your health is more important than travelling abroad. The breath of life you enjoy is far more valuable than the car or job you are expecting. In fact, this qualifies you for those things. Friend, no matter what God has done for you,...

JEHOVAH SHALOM

JEHOVAH SHALOM

Judges 6:12-24
Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called It Jehovah-shalom…” (V.24) KJV

    Another scarce commodity in the affairs of many today is peace. Everyone loves peace but as much as people desire peace as much as it is not available to them. Until men locate the source of peace, they may never experience it the way it is supposed to be. God is the source of true peace and that is why Jesus is called the prince of peace (Isaiah 9:6).

An Angel of the Lord met Gideon and he was so shocked. When he met the angel, he never knew that it was an angel of God. But as they kept conversing after the sacrifice it dawned on him that he had been speaking with God unknowingly. So, he became afraid thinking he was going to die (Exodus 33:20). But God spoke to Him and said, “Peace be unto you, fear not for you shall not die. And he calls the place Jehovah-Shalom meaning, The Lord is Peace”.

Friend, get to know that God is your peace. He is your security and strength. He is your protection. When you always see God around you then His peace shall always surround you. Instead of death, you shall live. His gift of peace is without repentance if you will remain in Him(John 14:27; Romans 11:29). Now, He will give peace in your land and your life and family shall continue to experience the peace of God (Leviticus 26:6).

Prayer: Lord, help my heart to rest in your peace forever

“WHEN HE IS YOUR PEACE NO ONE WILL TROUBLE YOU”

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.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14).

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.
