ALL WORKING TOGETHER

  ALL WORKING TOGETHER Romans 8:18-30 Devotional:- “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (v.28) NKJV Sometimes, because dates and times are rolling, we tend to start to think if the will of God will ever come to pass in our lives again. Some will ask, if God want to do it, why has He not done it all this while? This is a product of us waiting and expecting God to fulfil His promises in our lives within a time frame. And since time is going, we start to nurse some doubt about God’s ability and willingness to fulfil His promises in our lives. If you observe critically, most people come to that state simply because they compare their lives with others. But many of us often forget that God is taking us all the way through a different route to a different destination.  All that we need to do is to be sure that we discover and remain in the purpose of God for our lives. Others might look much ...

HE BLESSES

HE BLESSES 

2 Samuel 6:5-12
Devotional:- “The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months. And the Lord blessed Obed-Edom and all his household” (V. 11) NKJV

    One of the great virtues highly needed in many families in Africa is God's blessing. Everyone knows that there is something called God’s blessings. This is not just I buy and sell and make money. This is grace for multiplication and increase. This is not just because of human ability but the grace of His covenant (Genesis 26:12: 30:27). This is the blessing of God for the righteous (Psalm 5:12). This is a blessing without trouble, it is peaceful and fulfilling (Proverbs 10:22).

In the scriptures we read today is the adventure of a man into the blessing of God. King David decided to bring the ark of the Lord to the place prepared for it. As they were coming, someone wanting to help it from falling and was killed by God (2 Samuel 6:6). This was because they were carrying it contrary to God’s instruction. David then felt the ark should not come to his house so as not to kill him. It was then dropped in the house of Obed-Edom. While the ark was in the house of Obed Edom, the man knew how to treat it. God then began to bless him and his household.

Friend, you can also enter into God's blessing when you understand the way to entreat God's presence. The ark symbolizes His presence. The blessing of His presence will give you instructions in your time of worship and prayers. This is His wisdom to connect you to your blessing each day of your life (Isaiah 48:17; Jeremiah 33:3). That is why you should be humble to receive His instructions (Psalm 25:9). Depend upon His mercy and not just on your labor (Psalms 127:1). And always appreciate Him for each increase in your labor and labor only as He instructs. You will begin to experience His true trouble-free blessing.

Prayer: Lord, teach me to humble myself and be grateful.

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.
