ENVY NO ONE

  ENVY NO ONE Genesis 37:1-11  Devotional:- “And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind.” (V.11) NKJV For a man to enjoy God’s love being wonderfully demonstrated to him, he must constitute a habit of not envying anyone. This is the reason why many cannot demonstrate genuine love to others. It is time you begin to understand that your value is not comparable. Envy is an emotional act people put on when they feel someone is better than them. Envy is always the mother of negative jealousy. It breeds bitterness and pushes people to commit all kinds of crimes. Some people’s reason for being armed robbers is that since they could not make it legitimately, they must go and get it by force from the hands of those who have made it. The truth is that there is no one who cannot make it. The problem with Joseph’s brother was that they did not know the truth of the word of God. As children of Abraham, all of them are already pronounced as successful in life. Josep...

OUR REFUGE

OUR REFUGE

Devotional:- “God is our refuge and strength [mighty, and Impenetrable to temptation] a very present and well-proved help in trouble”. (V. 1) AMPL

    God’s word refers to God as our refuge and strength. The experience in the world today is that no place is safe. The aircraft has been proven to be one of the safest means of transportation for years. But now experiences have proved that no particular means of transportation is safe. But for God’s children, God is our refuge.

Refuge simply means “a place of safety”. That is why the book of Proverbs refers to God’s name as a strong tower, righteousness can always run into it and be safe (Proverbs 18:10). God is our stronghold. The scripture we read today says, it is the reason why we will not be afraid. Even if the earth is removed and mountains are quaking. When we hide in the name of the Lord, we are safe.

Friend, no matter what may be happening anywhere you must always remember that God is your hiding place (Psalm 119:114). He is your refuge. The way to always enter into your refuge in God is to learn to call upon the name of Jesus. He is the door to your refuge (John 14:6). Call Him in the car, aircraft, and ship, in the house, even in your dream, in your office or school, and anywhere. Then you are right in your refuge. The reason why fire could not burn the three Hebrews in Daniel 3 is because they were in God in the fire (Colossians 3:3). So, there is no such fire that will burn your refuge. When you are in Him, you are safe.

Prayer: Jesus, put my life and family into your name forever.

“WHEN YOUR REFUGE IS THE STRONGEST YOU ARE THE SAFEST”

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). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.

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.
