  HIS PRESENCE Isaiah 43:1-7 Devotional:- “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. (v.2) NKJV I have observed that every one becomes more confident when they find strong companies around them. That is why we feel more relaxed when the house is full of people. So when you have people around you, you tend to feel secured. Good company tends to also give us a sense of success and security. If you have to do something alone you could have a little doubt but when you are two, you will always be happy to carry out the assignment together and enjoy doing it. Good company will ease your service tension. God’s word says two are better than one for they will have a better reward for their labour (Ecclesiastes 4:9). If you have to trek a distance alone you may not have enjoyed it as having someone to share together as you go. You will not ...

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.

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 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.

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.
