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...

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.

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.
