  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...

HE FORGIVES

I John 1:5-10
Devotional:- “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (V. 9) KJV

    Man in his nature could have some weaknesses. It is the Holy Spirit that helps us out of our weaknesses often. We are not yet perfect but the Spirit of God is perfecting us. In the course of our relating with one another, we often offend each other. And also as we relate with God our imperfections sometimes reflect. The enemy is always looking for every avenue to take advantage of our condemnation. He knows that when men become guilty they become weak. He is happy when a man is weak for him to accuse us before the father.

But we have a God of mercy that always forgives our sins. He is not only forgiving but cleanses so that the traces of the iniquity should never be found in us anymore in His presence. It is a terrible thing to live under the oppression of guilt. It will cripple faith and confidence in achievement. It will breed condemnation and destroy peace.

You therefore need to know that your God is a God that forgives. Get to know that this is the simple truth of the word of God. He is not interested in your trouble and lack of peace (Ezekiel 33:11). Learn to confess your sin to Him. Always admit your wrongs before Him and repent of it. He will faithfully forgive you and forget all about that completely. He only does not like it when men try to cover their sins (Proverbs 28:13). Open up to Him and you will find your peace restored. You will surely find grace for a renewed relationship with God. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to always accept your forgiveness.

“UNTIL A MAN CAN ACCEPT GOD’S FORGIVENESS THE ENEMY WILL ALWAYS REMOVE HIS PEACE”

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.
