  LIFTING Psalms 75:1-10 Devotional:- “But God is the judge. He putteth down one and setteth up another.” (V. 7) KJV It is part of God’s act of love to lift up his own people. If you have a privilege be in an office, there is every tendency that you will want use your office to help and lift the people you love, so also is God. He is highly exalted. He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He is the creator of heaven and earth. The bible calls Him the judge, in other word, He rules and decides the case of everyone in heaven and earth. So he is willing to lift you up as the one He loves. In the sovereignty of God, I have seen God demonstrating His love by lifting the unworthy. People like Joseph, David, Solomon, Paul the apostle and a host of others. If you as a child of God enjoy a status now it is part of His good gesture to you. And whatever level you are now, do not be discouraged, for He is still taking you higher. He took Joseph from the prison to the palace (Genesis 41:...

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.

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.
