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...

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”

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.
