WAITING ON THE LORD

WAITING ON THE LORD 2 Samuel 5:1-10 Devotional:- “David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years” (v.4) NKJV One of the good virtues of God we must always appreciate is His faithfulness. God is not a man that will lie; whatever He has said in His word, He is able to do and He shall do. You can always plug yourself into His promises as much as you work in His covenants. I always tell people never to think God’s word is written only to some specific persons we hear or read about in the Bible. The word of God is the standard practice and programme of God. They were only privileged to be the ones to receive the word at their time, but God is still the same, and so is His word. In claiming the word of God, you must learn to be able to patiently wait. People who will retain their joy must add this virtue to their life (Hebrews 6:12). Our scripture today told us of the installation of David as king, but that was a promise he received from God when he was about 1...

FAVOUR OF GOD

FAVOUR OF GOD            

1 Samuel 2:12-26
Devotional:- “And the child Samuel grew on and in favor both with the Lord, and men (V. 26) NKJV

    You need to know that your God is a God of favor. That is, it is in His habit to always favor His people. When a man is walking in the will of God, he will sooner or later start to enjoy God's favor. And when a man enters God's favor all things around him will gain a new turn.

The family of Eli was the family chosen by the Lord to forever be the priesthood family in God's house. But started changing it when it came to Eli. This was because he did not quickly correct his children in the evil they were committing in the house of the Lord. God was not happy with Eli and his children. But as this family was facing the anger of God, Samuel was been favored by the Lord. Though he was supposed to be an errant boy to Eli and his family, but God's favor lifted him.

Friend, you are the next in line to be favored by the Lord (Psalm 102:13). All you need to do is to humble yourself to listen and obey God's instruction. Make yourself available to serve in His house like Samuel did. And you will start to enjoy His favor (Psalms 5:12). When God's favor comes you will begin to enjoy the blessings you do not deserve. And you will be blessed.

Prayer: Lord, bring me by grace into your favor.

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). 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.

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.
