  JOYFUL COMPANION  Luke 1:37-45 Devotional:- “For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy” (v.44) NKJV We must know that sooner or later, we will always look like the people we are moving with. God’s word says, he that walks with the wise shall be wise and the companion of fools shall be destroyed (Proverbs 13:20). This means that what we gain from the surroundings of our associates has a very strong influence upon our life. If a man walks with people who don’t know or appreciate joy, he may not also experience joy. We read about the visitation of Mary to Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. Since two of them carry unique children of divine significance, they both have the Spirit of God in them. This brings about a joyful effect. As soon as Elizabeth heard the voice of Mary, the baby leaped for joy. You therefore need to understand that the richest place you need to seek to be is where God’s children are gathe...

HIS COUNSEL STANDS

HIS COUNSEL STANDS

Genesis 45:1-11
Devotional:- “Then Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph; does my father still live?" But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed in his presence” (V. 3) NKJV

    Sometimes the enemy feels he can stop the counsel of God, but the Bible says the counsel of God shall stand. That is why you need to stand in faith in God's word and not in your experience on earth.

Joseph was a man of many troubles. The enemy used his brothers’ attitude against him in his family with all determination that his dreams would not come to reality (Genesis 37:18-20). God often reveals to him that he will rule over his brothers. As a child of around sixteen, he was not wise enough to have been telling his brothers about his dreams. And he created enmity for himself in the house. They sold him to slavery for money. Because God's counsel cannot fail, he still become ruler in the land of slavery and his brother at last came there to bow to him. He at last ruled over his brothers.

Friend, don't let the enemy turn you into an instrument against anyone else, you may regret doing so. But you need to know also that God’s counsel about you cannot change. He will surely fulfill His word notwithstanding the effort of the enemy. You will surely rule. Just be sure you remain in the will of God and keep serving Him with all faithfulness. At last, your enemies will bow themselves to you. Soon their children will be at your mercy. This is because the counsel of God will surely come to stand in your life.

Prayer: Lord, help me to remain in your will till I will be lifted by your hand.

“GOD IS NOT WAITING FOR ANYONE’S ADVICE, ONLY HIS COUNSEL SHALL STAND”

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.
