  JOYFUL COMPANION  Luke 1:37-45 Devotional:- “For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy” (v.44) NKJV We must know that sooner or later, we will always look like the people we are moving with. God’s word says, he that walks with the wise shall be wise and the companion of fools shall be destroyed (Proverbs 13:20). This means that what we gain from the surroundings of our associates has a very strong influence upon our life. If a man walks with people who don’t know or appreciate joy, he may not also experience joy. We read about the visitation of Mary to Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. Since two of them carry unique children of divine significance, they both have the Spirit of God in them. This brings about a joyful effect. As soon as Elizabeth heard the voice of Mary, the baby leaped for joy. You therefore need to understand that the richest place you need to seek to be is where God’s children are gathe...

CHASTISEMENT OF GOD

CHASTISEMENT OF GOD

Hebrews 12:1-11
Devotional:-  For whom, the Lord loves, He chastens and scourges every son whom He receives (V. 6) NKJV

    Some people always hate to be corrected. But this is a product of their ignorance. That is why Solomon said it is foolishness to hate correction (Proverbs 12:1). One of the attitudes of God as a good father is to chastise His people. This is because if a man is left to his evil, he will end up in destruction.

In the scripture we read today God's word instructs us as dear sons of God not to hate, refuse, or be offended by the chastisement of God. For example, if a Christians stop paying his tithe, God could suddenly make things tight for him. The purpose is to call his attention to his error and make corrections. Wisdom therefore demands that you should always check why things are not working for you. Sometimes it is God that is standing against some people's progress because of their disobedience. He did that to Balaam on his horse (Numbers 22:31-34). And He is still doing it to date. All that some people need is just mercy.

Friend, it will be wise for you to recognize God's correction and repent in time before losing many things. Stop going from church to church because you are disciplined. If God is against you whoever prays for you is in trouble. This is because God is a pillar of fire in front of you and someone is setting you free from Him. But as soon as you repent, He will remove devourer and His barriers from you (Joel 2:25). The earlier the better.

Prayer: Lord, give me a repentant heart.

“IF GOD BE AGAINST YOU WHO CAN BE FOR YOU”

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.

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.
